Kurama awoke the next morning and was puzzled at what this warm soft but somewhat heavy thing was draping over his stomach and snuggling into his side. His memory was foggy from sleep but he began to remember the prior night when he noticed a certain throbbing in his lower half. "Hmm? Oh yeah, it's Akira… so it really wasn't a dream?" he pondered dozily as he pried an eye open. The sunlight from the window burned his retinas painfully, he had slept quite long, having turned off the alarm just before going to sleep, he was thankful that he did too. Because the prior night he had… exerted quite a bit of energy. He got his other eye open and turned his head down the see the pristine white hair laying on his bare chest and pillow beside him, still clumped slightly from dry sweat. He couldn't see his lovers face well, but knew he was smiling slightly in his sleep.

"Mmm morning sleepy" he whispered to Akira, who only stirred a little in his sleep, the poor boy was exhausted, so Kurama decided to be careful about getting up so he could continue resting. Slowly working himself from under the petite albino he got up and headed strait for the bathroom, he was too tired too before he went to sleep and felt a little cleanliness was in order. Kurama thought peacefully of Akira, and what he had been through, smiling at the boy's determination, and growing confidence as he got to know them. "He's changed so much, I don't know if he even notices.

Akira stirred in he's sleep, something was different, it was cooler now… what was it/ his mind pondered still mostly sleeping, he wriggled into his covers and dozed for a while longer before the morning sun began to cut through the sleep. His mind was still mostly sleeping when it tried to rationalize the morning, the bed felt… different than what he was used too, and hadn't it been warmer before? Or was something warm in the bed? And what's that throbbing anyway? He tossed in bed willing his mind to settle, he was still much too sleepy to want to be up. But his mind wouldn't comply, before he knew it his eyes slid open and he was looking into a non familiar room. "Huh?" he thought sleepily before he remembered too, much in the same way as Kurama. "Oh yeah, heh, that was an interesting night." He mumbled quietly into a pillow before pushing himself into a leaning sitting position. "Where's Kurama? "He thought yawning into the morning sun. "Probably cleaning himself up after last night. I should too come to think of it." He finished out loud as Kurama re-entered the room dressed in loose street clothes hair wet from a shower.

"Well sleeping beauty's awake now I see" he grinned at the still sleepy Akira who rocked backing forth on his hands a little before retaliating.

"Aww shut up kuramaaahhhh" he said not being able to force the yawn back.

"No reason to act like that sleepy, it was your idea to go all the way." He smirked at him trying to dry his hair more. Akira lobbed a pillow at him, which he caught, and countered him with,

"Well it was your idea to switch."

"Well whatever, we had fun last night either way." He said coyly, walking over and planting a kiss gently on the top of Akira's head. "The shower's all ready for you, take a nice long shower, it'll help." Akira pondered the meaning of this before a throb told him just what Kurama meant.

"Right I'll do that now, but…"

"I washed your clothes this morning; you slept a while longer than I did."

"Must have" he said as he pushed himself up and headed for the bathroom. Kurama was right about the shower, the nice hot water running over his body made him feel loads better, and Kurama's shampoo smelled great to boot. He smile broad at the thought of what was happening; he was showering in Kurama's house, using his shampoo, after sleeping in his bed. It was all so funny to Akira he chuckled to himself, he never thought it would get to be like this, he never considered himself like... that… but things have a way of being unpredictable. Once he was satisfied that he was clean he stepped out of the shower and dried himself, discovering in the process that Kurama had put his clothing in the bathroom for him when he came out. "You're so thoughtful Kurama, no wonder I fell for you. You're just so nice."

Yueske decided he was going to try to surprise Kurama and Akira, thinking they would still both be dozing on the couch and in the chair as Akira still recovered. He approached the door silently and swung it open suddenly, finding the room completely vacant. "Huh? I wonder where they're at?" he pondered as Kurama came out the door and saw him standing stupidly down one level. (A/n I know I just added a floor, so sue me is his place is only one floor, I don't remember!)

"Yueske? What are you doing here at this time, and why didn't you knock?"

"Aww I wanted to surprise you guys, Kuwabara's not far behind me." And sure enough Kuwabara strode through the door almost on cue. Kurama rolled his eyes at him as Yueske continued. "So where's Akira, he go home this morning or something?"

"No he's here he's just…" Akira was oblivious to the guests' arrival because some water in his ears made it hard for him to here and he came around the corner and out of Kurama's room just as Kurama was going to say something to Yueske.

Looking down at his hands, "hey Kurama I put the sheets in the washer so…" he froze as he looked up to see the two boys downstairs with the biggest dumbfounded look on their faces. Akira had only put on pants, and was bare chested and still wet from his shower. "I uhh, h-hi guys…" he stuttered, hoping they were too dumb to figure it out.

"Awwww NO WAY! You guys were, TOGETHER last night? Ahhh man your like gay now! Man I never thought either of you would turn yaoi on us"

"Uhhhh that's just weird." Kuwabara added as Akira seemed to tense up.

"So how long have you been like this?"

"Shut up Yueske!" Kurama barked as it seemed to visibly shake Akira who was beginning to back away.

"I uh, have to…" he didn't finish before he turned and booked it back to Kurama's room.

"Now look at what you've done! You scared him and maybe he'll go back to before! He may never trust us again you idiot!' Kurama said, positively fuming at the boys stupidity.

"Awww I'm sorry I didn't mean to! I didn't want to hurt Akira I just." splat! something big and wet hit Yueske in the side of the head, while still pickled at what it was he looked down to see a sopping wet nerfball laying on the ground. "What the heck is…?"

"HA! NAILED JA YUESKE!" the big three heads snapped to the source of the voice, which was Akira standing in the doorway with a nerf gun positively dripping with water. "Akira pulled his lips back into a smug grin "that's not water either, its sweat from last night, it got so hot in there woo! It was steamy!" Kurama totally lost his composure and started laughing so hard he almost doubled over, where as Yueske just had this goofy grin on his face as he looked at Akira. Kuwabara was slightly disturbed by the image of their yaoi activities running through his head. " here Kurama I found the nerf darts I got them wet too!" he tossed the nerf dart gun to Kurama who eagerly caught it.

"OPENFIRE!" he belted out as the two lovers started pelting the boys with the wet nerf, reloading out of a bucket of water and avoiding the ones being tossed back at them. Akira got into a major taunting mode, describe their acts of the prior night in order to distract an disgust their appointed "targets". After about an hour of that, all four young men now soaked they initiated their cease fire and plopped down on the furniture downstairs.

" so not to pry so much as curiosity, how did this happen anyway? I mean you two?" yueske said, still confused about the whole thing,

"I don't really know when it started, I mean it started with an experimental kiss, before the mall incident, then a real kiss, then last night we were getting close again, talking about stuff and it just sorta happened, I dunno how to explain it any better." Akira said breathily

"Well, I know its cliché but what ever makes you guys happy, I just didn't expect it."

"Keiko had an idea about it." Kurama added absentmindedly munching on some candy he had grabbed from the kitchen.

"what! Why didn't she say something? She shoulda told yueske!"

"Its non of her business, its none of ours either, but what is our business is what akira is." He said taking a serious tone. "we're gonna hafta tell Koenma sooner or later."

"I know, but,"
" Its okay, he can wait a little longer guys, I'll give you guys a week, it's the best I can hope for."

"Thanks, we still need to adjust, its gonna be a big thing for him."

"I hope that they don't try and take me away before though, and well.."

"you have worried I know, it'll be all right Akira, we're here to protect you, after all, your one of us now!"

"yeah… thanks guys, you really are good friend, my only friends." Akira said hanging his head some staring at the floor, and wondering what his life is going to become.

yay for compleation! woot! its a good thing the tv doesnt work right nowhuh?
