Yuki was not quite awake. In fact his eyes were still closed as he stumbled down the stairs for breakfast. His normal slow-to-wake demeanor was increased because of the lack of sleep he had gotten. He just couldn't get the way Kyo had touched him out of his mind. He had touched him with such gentleness that his greatest rival should never have done. It confused him so much, that might be why he had a headache this morning.
It seemed as if the world wanted his headache to progress to a migrane for when he arrived downstairs he was greeted by a loud, "YUKI! How good it is to see you this morning! HA HA HA! The sun is bright, the birds are chirping, your older brother is here to visit. What could possibly make it better!" Ayame's booming voice called out.
"An aspirin…" Yuki mumbled blinking his eyes open. Tohru quickly rushed to the cabinet and got Yuki an aspirin and a glass of water.
"Ah, Aya. I hope you haven't been too lonely while we've been apart." Shigure said.
"I kept my self from too much pain by thinking of when we would next meet. You will be subject to my imagination tonight Gure-san." Ayame crooned.
Kyo who was drinking out of the milk carton stopped and yelled, "Stop being creepy!"
Ayame and Shigure let out their contrasting laughs, Ayame's booming "HA HA HA" and Shigure's teasing "Hahahaha…aah…"
Yuki just rubbed his temples and asked, "Why are you here Oni-san…"
"When does a brother need a reason to dote upon his brother." Ayame said.
"When the brother has been doting too much on the brother in the last two days." Yuki growled.
"Nonsense! You can never dote too much. Doting is a sign of affection and my dear Yuki and I have much affection for you." Ayame grinned.
"Yes Yuki, take your brother's gift. Ayame is such a giving, loving person you'll hurt his feelings if you don't." Shigure said slyly, mostly to get Tohru on his side.
"Oh Yuki you must! You don't want Ayame-san's feelings hurt do you." Tohru said giving Yuki that face, the one that got the boys to do what ever odd thing she was asking.
"I'm sorry Honda-san, I didn't get much sleep last night." Yuki explained.
"Oh, was Kyo-kun keeping you busy?" Shigure joked.
Yuki just sent him a death glare and accepted the large package from Ayame. "Is this able to be opened here?" He asked.
Ayame looked thoughtful, "Perhaps not, you can open it in your room if you please."
Yuki was relieved that his brother had understood his reluctance to share the fact he owned a few dresses with anyone. Silently he toted his package up to his room.
Ayame was in the kitchen still blabbering on about how much Yuki was going to like his present with out actually saying what it was. This got Shigure and Tohru extremely curious about what Ayame could possibly give Yuki that shouldn't be opened in front of them. Now of course each of them had different ideas of what it could be; Shigure thought is was a portion of this collection of porn and adult films he and Ayame had made when they were in high school, where as Tohru thought it was something so brotherly that Yuki didn't want them to see how much he actually loved his brother.
So the two, unintentionally on Tohru's part, drilled Ayame about the gift trying to figure out what it was. Ayame was loving all the attention but noticed it lacked from Kyo.
"Kyonkitchi, why so silent?" Ayame said.
"Stop calling me that… and I don't care what you gave Yuki." Kyo growled.
Ayame just pouted.
"I'm leaving." Kyo said getting up and going to his room.
"Don't you have school today?" Shigure said.
Kyo turned around and glared, "No…Baka…it's Saturday."
"Oh…really? I didn't notice." Shigure said hazily.
Kyo just rolled his eyes and walked up to his room. Kyo didn't need to listen to Ayame's boastful blather, he was pretty sure what the fool had given Yuki. He was pretty sure Ayame had given Yuki another dress.
"I wonder what it looks like" Kyo mused drifting off into a semi-dreaming state. He pictured Yuki in a long floor length dress made from translucent blue and purple fabrics that pooled at his feet. The low back of the dress had criss-cross straps that revealed, teasingly, Yuki's pale skin. Kyo slapped himself lightly across the cheek, he shouldn't be imagining that.
Kyo shook his head, as if to knock the thought out of his brain, then picked up a discarded text book and began to read it.
Yuki's fingers trembled as he undid the fancy ribbons and paper surrounding the large box his brother had given him. Lifting off the lid, Yuki found a small separately wrapped package, a letter and a gorgeous dress. The dress was rose colored with a high scalloped neck like the last one he had received. Although instead of a ribbon it had a pink and white swirled stone in a cameo style setting to tie around the neck. The sleeves were an extremely pale pink lace, so pale you could mistake it for white, in the belled fashion once again. It had a creamy underskirt with the rose over skirt that was a couple inches shorter than the underskirt. The underskirt was also revealed by the split in the front of the overskirt.
The shoes were elegant slippers of the pale pink the lace sleeves were. Yuki hadn't put the dress on yet and was just admiring it. The other wrapped package was making Yuki wonder, so he opened it to find of all things a strapless bra of his skin color. Yuki stared at it in disbelief, was his brother joking? Picking up the letter, Yuki opened it and read silently.
To my dearest brother:
You are most likely either staring in awe of my beautiful creation or staring in shock of the nifty little device I gave you. You may be wondering, what on earth has my amazing brother given me now? Well I shall tell you; the device I gave you may look like a bra, but in fact it is an enhancer. Let me explain, it makes it seem as if you have a bosom when in fact, it's genetically impossible for you to have one.
The padding of the enhancer is just enough to give you a natural looking bosom. This will be important for some of my other creations I make you. To make you look more womanly while parading happily in your gowns, the enhancer is the perfect disguise accessory.
Not to mention make you look devilishly sexy in some future gowns. Just be careful not to break any men's hearts!
Your most ever loving, extraordinary brother,
Ayame
"My brother must be the biggest idiot in the world…" Yuki said clutching his forehead, he was extremely grateful of the aspirin Tohru had given him. Poking at the cups of the bra, no excuse me… enhancer. They actually seemed real enough; being strapless it would be able to be worn in small strapped and strapless dresses. It took him a couple minutes, but Yuki finally figured out how to get the enhancer on. He didn't want to muss with the new dress just yet so he put on the violet dress, his first dress.
Looking into the mirror Yuki noticed the enhancer actually worked. It made his chest look much larger than it actually was giving him a more feminine look. Yuki slipped the dress off and removed the enhancer. That would wait, Yuki didn't think he was ready to give up more of his masculinity.
Yuki noticed that the new dress also featured the same tiny buttons hidden down the back. "Great…either I'll have to get Ayame to help me. But that is not something I want to do. Or get Kyo to help me…" Yuki blushed as he thought once again of Kyo's gentle fingers unbuttoning his dress, the soft cloth sliding off his shoulders, the warm touch of Kyo's fingers lightly touching his back. "I've got to stop thinking about that…" Yuki mumbled, "Even so… Kyo's a better choice than Ayame."
