Chapter 2
Okay, here's the second chapter. I know I said that chapter 2 of Blood Red Rain would be up before this one but I have serious writers block for that one I have absolutely no ideas! Feel free to review and give me some for Blood Red Rain… that would be much appreciated.
Kazahaya sat on one side of the couch while Rikuo sat on the other side. Both had already taken a shower and eaten dinner. Rikuo cooked while Kazahaya took his shower and Kazahaya ate while Rikuo took his. Kazahaya was curled up and slightly glaring at Rikuo while Rikuo sat and stared out the window. Kazahaya looked down when Rikuo sighed.
"Look Kazahaya," Rikuo started when he got tired of Kazahaya glaring at him, "I'm sorry I yelled at you." Kazahaya's head snapped up as Rikuo spoke. He froze as Rikuo looked at him with guilt, pain, and worry in his normally emotionless eyes. Rikuo moved so he was completely facing Kazahaya. Thunder boomed and lightning flashed. The lights flickered but remained on. Kazahaya was unsure as to what to say. He gapped at Rikuo then looked away. He grabbed a couch pillow and hugged it to him.
"Kazahaya, I really meant it when I said that not everyone in the world is a good person. I…I know I'm one of those people," Rikuo said looking down. Kazahaya looked at him then the lights went out and they heard thunder off in the distance. Kazahaya shivered and glanced out the window at the still pouring rain. He squeaked softly when thunder rumbled making it seem like it was above them. Kazahaya started shaking, he squeezed his eyes shut and clutched at the pillow.
Rikuo saw how Kazahaya was every time lightning flashed and illuminated the room. But when Kazahaya looked about ready to cry , he got up and walked to the shaking teen. He knelt down in front of him and lightly touched his shoulder. Rikuo didn't know what to expect from Kazahaya but he does know that this was not one of the things he had thought would happen. Kazahaya had flung himself at Rikuo. Rikuo barely managed to catch himself as Kazahaya clung to him tightly. Rikuo sat up, Kazahaya's arms were wrapped around his neck and Kazahaya's face was in the crook of his neck. Rikuo suppressed a shiver as Kazahaya's warm breath hit his neck softly.
"Kazahaya?" he asked quietly.
"I… I hate it when the lights go out. It's not that I'm scared of the dark or anything…but during a storm like this I really hate it," he said shakily as he tightened his hold on Rikuo. Rikuo smiled softly then picked Kazahaya up and sat on the couch with Kazahaya in his lap.
"Hey Rikuo?" Kazahaya asked sleepily a few minutes later.
"Yeah," he answered quietly.
"Thanks for saving me," Kazahaya then drifted off to sleep.
"No problem Kaza," Rikuo said as he kissed the top of Kazahaya's head softly. He gently moved Kazahaya so he could put him to bed. As Rikuo laid Kazahaya down he watched the smaller teens face. It was peaceful and showed none of the fear he had before. Rikuo covered the boy up then went to his room.
It had been at least two hours and Rikuo still couldn't get to sleep! He was getting aggravated. Then thunder roared loudly shaking the glass windows slightly. Rikuo sighed as he sat up and put his head in his hands. He sat for ten minutes doing that before he flopped back down. He tried to figure out what was keeping him up. Hmmmm…Ah, he found it. Kazahaya was the one keeping his mind occupied and forcing him to miss out on sleep. Rikuo sighed. The fight they had was worse than normal. How would he make this one up? He could not pick on Kazahaya for a few days, or maybe he could…actually let…Kazahaya have a…a… friend? There we go that was it. That was how Rikuo was going to make it up to Kazahaya. As he stared at the ceiling thinking about how he would actually tell the other teen that, he heard quiet footsteps outside his door. He turned his head and saw Kazahaya open it quietly and walk in before closing it just as softly. Then he watched as Kazahaya walked to his bed and climbed in. Rikuo froze, wondering if Kazahaya was even awake before Kazahaya snuggling close to Rikuo.
"I'm scared," he said quietly. Rikuo nodded then wrapped his arms around Kazahaya's waist as Kazahaya laid his head on Rikuo's strong chest and snuggled as close as he could to get warmer.
"Thanks Rikuo," he said as he drifted back to sleep.
Thunder is what woke Kazahaya. He opened his eyes to find himself facing the wall. Now Kazahaya doesn't find this weird because one, all the walls were the same, and two, because on the days that he actually gets to sleep in, he's always facing a wall. But there was one thing that he found fairly unusual…there were ARMS wrapped around HIS waist, and HIS back was against something really WARM! However before he started to panic he remembered last night. He went to Rikuo when he got scared. He sighed softly. He actually felt really comfortable and safe the way he was. He could feel Rikuo's chest move with each quiet breath. Kazahaya suppressed a shiver as the warm breath gently touched the back of his neck. Kazahaya closed his eyes and snuggled back closer to Rikuo, who in turn wrapped his arms tighter around the small teen. As Kazahaya thought back to everything that happened the night before, he felt guilty and yet somehow he knew that he was right this time and Rikuo was not.
When Rikuo woke up that morning he immediately felt guilt build up inside him. He still wondered if Kazahaya was going to forgive him for this one. Although he knew he probably didn't deserve it. He looked up when a certain smell floated through the door and hit him in the face. It smelled like eggs. But who could be cooking? Rikuo looked down and saw that Kazahaya was not there. Rikuo swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood, then walked out of the room. He walked into the kitchen and saw Kazahaya turning away from the stove. Kazahaya jumped in surprise almost dropping the pan he was holding. They stared at each other until Kazahaya looked down and away. Then the smaller teen put the eggs on two plates and put the pan in the sink. He set the plates on the table then they both sat down.
Hey everyone! As you probably know Hurricane Rita is headed to the Texas coast…well it's kinda already here but that's not the point! The point is that I was able to get this up before it really hit where I live so be happy! Anyway sorry to those who are waiting ever patiently for the next chapter in Blood Red Rain…I have it but I'm soo busy that I can type it! SORRY! Anyway hopefully I'll get it up today or maybe at the end of next week…I'm not making any promises though. And if any of you are wondering(probably not but I'll tell you anyway) yes I'm staying in my house during the hurricane ( or if you're like me…gentle rain)
Thanks for reading and please REVIEW!
