Glad you think it's cute!
Previously
"Well, at least I don't have to worry about them," Yuki said. "I just have to worry about Kyo." He walked back to Kyo's cell and leaned over the bed to look at him. "You're unreal," Yuki said in almost a whisper. "You back talk, you hate me, you have a huge attitude problem," he looked down at his closed eyes and brushed some more hair out of his face, "but I can't stop thinking about you."
Now
Kyo reached up and rubbed his eye as he started to wake up. His eyes too sometime but adjusted to the dark cell lit only by the torch light outside the cells. As he stared up at the ceiling he felt something cold on his forehead. He slowly reached up his hand to touch whatever it was. It was soft and it felt like a cloth. Sure enough, when he took it off his forehead, it was a cloth. "Some one was taking care of me?" Kyo asked out loud, but mostly to himself. As he held the cloth he took the back of his hand and felt his forehead. "I have a little fever, but what…what happened?" As if on cue all the memories of what happened flowed back to him. He covered his eyes with the back of wrist. I told him more than I wanted. I never talk that much to people I just met, what's wrong with me?
Suddenly, something near his side moved and it started Kyo. He sat up quickly and looked at the figure looming half way on the bed. Its head was being cradled in his arms and it looked as if it was sleeping. Kyo leaned forward to get a better look at whoever was sleeping there. "Yuki?" he breathed when he saw who it was. "What the hell are you doing in here!" This time his voice was a bit louder than the last.
But there came no reply and Kyo mentally hit himself for yelling that. Calm down, he's just sleeping. But why is he sleeping here? Don't tell me he took care of me. Realization hit Kyo. He fell on Yuki, Yuki was the last person he saw before he blacked out, and now Yuki was kneeling by his bed side, sleeping; of course it had to be Yuki who had nursed him. But the one question that wouldn't leave Kyo alone was a question of one word; why?
Why had Yuki taken care of him?...a prisoner? Why had he stayed at his side this whole time, or did he? Why? Why? Why? That one word wouldn't leave Kyo alone, and he knew he had to do something in order to get that word out of his mind too. He lifted his hand and reached toward Yuki, reaching out to his shoulder.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," a voice spoke from outside his cell. Kyo looked up and out of his cell, but he could only make out the silhouette of the person standing there.
"What are you talking about?" Kyo asked. He already knew who it was. He had heard that voice over and over before. It was someone who he looked up to, the one who showed him kindness when he was younger, the one person he trusted the most.
"He fell asleep not to long ago," the person spoke again, their silhouette being the only thing Kyo could see of the person. "After he moved you to your bed he stayed by your side, hadn't moved since and that was hours ago. Leave me be, I'm sure he's tired."
Kyo looked away from the person outside his cell and back down at Yuki again. "But, why would he, a lord, help me? I'm just a peasant, who even insulted him, yelled at him. Why would he want to help me?" His crimson eyes studied Yuki's sleeping form.
"People do strange things for no reason at all, but maybe he has a reason that is so great he can't even deny it," the silhouette figure replied.
"And that reasons would be?" Kyo asked.
"I couldn't tell you, even if I did know," the figure replied. "Only the person who has the reason can tell you why he acts the way he does."
Kyo sighed and scratched the back of his head. "That's why I don't like people. They're either predictable or unpredictable. It's so annoying."
"So are you," the person laughed.
"I'm what?" Kyo asked glaring.
"You act just like the people you don't like," the person said. "Even though you put them in a whole other category all together, you fail to see you're just like them; frail, unprotected, vengeful, unpredictable, and annoying."
"Why did you have to slap that back in my face? I thought I had a good thought going there," Kyo said.
"Because you're easy to do that too," the person replied.
"So, why are you back down here anyway, Shishou?" Kyo asked.
"I forgot some papers that I had to bring Lord Haru while he was sick," Kazuma said with a smile. "Then I saw that Lord Yuki wasn't at the desk and the prisoners weren't in their cells, so I wanted to check and make sure they weren't making a scene in the garden, but I saw Lord Yuki enter your cell as I was about to walk down the hallway. He's been with you for some time."
"You stayed here that long?" Kyo asked a bit skeptical.
"I was helping the guards in the garden for most of the time," Kazuma said. "Well, I better get going. Lord Haru is waiting, for a pretty long time too." He turned to leave but then remembered something. "Oh, and Kyo?" Kyo looked up at Kazuma. "Since he took care of you, be nice and take care of him. Alright?"
Kyo sighed and looked down at Yuki again. "Yeah, sure," he answered. Kazuma smiled and then left the front of Kyo's cell with a wave. Kyo listen to Kazuma's dissipating footsteps. They stopped and then a door opening and closing signaled that he had left. "Damn it Shishou," Kyo said under his breath.
Kyo sat there wondering what to do with the sleeping lord next to him. He knew Shishou was right; he had to intern take care of him. He slowly grabbed the sheets and, careful not to wake up Yuki, pulled them off himself and quietly got out of the bed. He staggered a bit, but got his footing back in a few seconds. He stood behind Yuki and started to wonder what to do with him. The first thought was to get him off the ground.
He reached down toward Yuki and put his hand behind Yuki's back and leaned him back into it and put his other arms under Yuki's knees. He pulled Yuki up and toward him and then placed him on the bed. He took the sheets and covered Yuki up to his shoulders with them. This'll keep him a little warmer at least. Kyo looked down at Yuki and bent toward him. He's different from the other lords though. They probably would've just let me pass out on the ground. "Why?"
Kyo noticed Yuki was starting to wake up and stood up straight. Yuki stirred a bit more before rolling on his side and rubbing his eyes. He opened his mind sleepily and looked at who was standing in front of him. "Kyo?" he asked as his eyes became more adjusted to the darkness to see the one standing by him. He pushed himself up and sat up rubbing the back of his head. "What the…wait, are you okay?" He looked up at Kyo franticly and sat on his knees to get a better look at him.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Kyo said.
"Are you sure? I mean you had a horrible fever," Yuki said. "Did it break?" He took the back of his hand and placed it against Kyo's forehead. Kyo was a bit taken aback that Yuki was still caring this much. He gave a light smile and grabbed Yuki's wrist lightly, pulling it away from his forehead. "Kyo?"
"Look, I'm fine Lord Yuki," Kyo said. "And…and I wanna say thank you for helping me."
Yuki smiled up at Kyo. "It was nothing. I'm just glad you're okay."
"How can you talk casually to me? I mean I was rude and obnoxious to you," Kyo said. "Yet, you still helped me. Why?" He let go of Yuki's wrist.
Yuki looked at Kyo with a quizzical look, but understood why he was asking. "True you did talk down to me," Yuki said. "But, I'm not one to hold a grudge against anyone, so I'm not holding it against you. Besides, you fainted. Why the hell would I leave you when you had done that and having a fever?"
Kyo smirked down at him. "I was right," Kyo said. Yuki got a little confused at this comment. "You aren't like all the other lords and ladies."
"Is that a compliment?" Yuki asked giving him a smirk back. The smirk was only to keep himself from doing anything he didn't want to do. Because it got Yuki every time, for some reason, when Kyo would smirk; something inside him would start to break and he had to cover it up some how, a smirk back was the only thing he could think of.
"If you want to take it that way, go right ahead," Kyo said. He crossed his arms over his chest and kept his gaze on Yuki. What's wrong with me? He's a lord, but he did take care of me. No, that gives me no right to give him a compliment. But he doesn't look half bad. NO! Bad Kyo! Bad Kyo! Do NOT think thoughts like THAT!
"…yo. Kyo. Kyo!" Yuki said each time getting louder.
"Huh, what?" Kyo asked being brought out of his argument with himself.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Yuki said getting off the bed and stepping in front of Kyo, he was almost as tall as him. "You got really pale for a second there."
"Don't worry about me," Kyo said. "I'm fine now."
"You don't look that fine to me," Yuki said. "Maybe you should lay down."
"No, no, no, trust me. I'm fine," Kyo said. "Don't worry about me. You've done enough."
"Are you sure?" Yuki asked. "I was going to bring Hatori here tomorrow to have a look at you to make sure. Why don't you rest until then?"
"Yuki, please stop," Kyo said. But as he ran over the words again in his head he covered his mouth with his hand quickly. "I'm sorry Lord Yuki; please it was just an accident. I didn't mean to say that." Kyo heard nothing come from Yuki as he looked down at him. He couldn't see anything either, his bangs were covering his eyes. Then Kyo saw Yuki's shoulders start to shake and Kyo started to worry a little bit. Of course he knew Yuki was different from the other lords that he had met, but everyone gets mad when you don't call them by their right name.
But what he heard from Yuki wasn't anger when it first escaped his lips, but laughter. Kyo realized, Yuki was laughing. Kyo was a bit distressed and freaked out. He hadn't done or said anything funny; in fact he said something insulting and any other regular lord would have struck Kyo for doing so. This was when Kyo saw a side of Yuki he knew he hadn't shown many people; and he was glad he was one of the few that saw it. Knowing that he let a small smile settle on his lips for the first time, in a long time, a genuine smile was on his face; and Kyo didn't care if Yuki saw it or not.
Yuki finally started to get his composure back. "I'm sorry," he said, "but that was too funny."
"What was so funny?" Kyo asked still very confused, but happy all the same.
"The way you freaked out," Yuki said wiping his eyes from the tears that started to form from laughing so hard. "It's funny, because what you said earlier. How you don't like people who think their better than anyone, lords and ladies, and how you hated people who thought having and honorific people have to use sucks; and then you freak out when you forgot to call me Lord Yuki instead of just Yuki. I'm sorry; I just thought it was really funny. I apologize."
"You don't need to," Kyo said. "To apologize I mean. Why be sorry for laughing? It was funny so just laugh, don't apologize afterwards, especially if you made you happy, even for a moment."
Yuki smiled up at Kyo. "It did very much so make me happy." Kyo couldn't help it. He could feel the heat in his cheeks getting warmer and warmer, he couldn't stop it. "Thank you, for the laugh. I needed it."
Kyo scratched the back of his neck. "No problem," he said. "I mean, everyone needs to laugh at least once in a while, even if it's a little chuckle."
"I agree," Yuki said. "And I was long over do for one." There was a long silence between the two for a while and Kyo didn't like it; he needed to break it.
"Hey, what about the other prisoners? Isn't it time for them to come in?" Kyo asked.
"The guard said he would tell me when they wanted to come in, apparently they don't want to yet," Yuki answered. "Why? You don't like the peace and quiet?"
"Not saying I don't like it, but…" Kyo said. He didn't really know what else to say.
"But?" Yuki asked looking at him.
"I don't know," Kyo answered turning his head away from him.
"Oh, I get it," Yuki said. "You don't like being alone with me, is that it?" Kyo didn't answer. "Aw, Kyo I'm hurt. I like being with you, I thought maybe you would like being with me. I mean we do get along pretty well now."
"Why though?" Kyo asked. "Why do you like being with me? We just met, you know nothing about me, so how can you like me?"
"Easily," Yuki said. "I just can. Sure we just met today but every since then you haven't been able to get out of my mind. I can't think straight, and it gets even harder when I try to force it out of my head. There's just something about you that won't let me not like you."
"So, even though you don't even know me, you still like me?" Kyo asked. Yuki nodded. Kyo have a hard swallow. "You understand that makes no sense, right?"
"Yes, I'm well aware of it," Yuki answered. "And I don't care."
Kyo turned back to face Yuki at that. There was something in Yuki's eye that Kyo saw, but he didn't know what it was, though he had a strong feeling he would know what it was soon enough. "Lord Yuki…" Kyo began, but Yuki cut him off by placing a finger over his mouth.
"You already called me Yuki, why not just use that? I thought you didn't like 'having' to use honorifics," Yuki said.
Kyo was stunned. Not only did Yuki say he liked him, but he was allowed to call him by his name. Kyo wanted to use it, but he wasn't sure if he should; though a reassuring nod from Yuki told him to. "Y…Yuki," Kyo breathed.
"See, it sounds better now," Yuki said. "Besides, I never really liked it when people would call me Lord Yuki anyway. I never really thought it suited me." Once again Yuki was trying to hold something back. The way Kyo said his name made something in him start to rouse up. He had no idea what it was, but he just loved that way Kyo said his name.
"Why let me call you Yuki?" Kyo asked.
"I feel that you understand me more than most people I've known my whole life, that you're the one person I can trust the most, the one I can tell everything," Yuki explained.
"I still don't get it," Kyo said.
Yuki reached out and grabbed his shoulder. "You don't have to get it Kyo. Just know I trust you, alright?"
"Even though we just met?" Kyo asked.
"Yes, Kyo, even though we just met," Yuki said. "How many times do I have to explain it?"
"I guess, how ever many times I ask," Kyo said with a little laugh.
"Funny," Yuki said. "To bad I'm drawing a line somewhere."
"Then you're being no fun," Kyo said with a fake pout.
"Don't do that," Yuki said holding the stirring feeling in more than usual.
"Don't do what?" Kyo asked doing the pout once more in a mocking motion.
"That stupid pout," Yuki said. "Just don't do it. Who knows what could happen."
Kyo smirked and leaned down closer to Yuki, inches apart from his face. "What could happen?" Kyo asked. "Don't tell me you're getting an attraction to me."
Yuki couldn't help the very strong blush that crossed his face. "N…no, what ever gave you that idea?"
"The fact you're blushing like mad right now," Kyo said.
"Don't say things like that so casually," Yuki said. He was getting angry, but also he was very embarrassed. Kyo had seen him blush and it was because of Kyo. He was starting to get scared. Kyo still had not backed off from him, and he wasn't sure if it was his imagination or what but he thought Kyo was getting closer.
"Are you scared of what could happen?" Kyo asked.
"No, of course I'm not scared…but would it be right," Yuki said.
"Are most good things right?" Kyo asked.
"You're full of questions aren't you?" Yuki asked trying to lighten the mood and maybe get Kyo some more inches away. Part of him though want Kyo to stay so close and maybe get closer, but the other half said he should push him away and try to forget the whole thing.
"You're changing the subject," Kyo said. "Do you want to find out what will happen?"
Yuki was very surprised. A thought ran across his mind that maybe Kyo and he were on different ideas and that Kyo wasn't thinking of anything of the nature Yuki had thought of. Though Yuki had a feeling that they were on the exact same page and Kyo was implying to find out something. Yuki asked himself if he really did want to find out, and then Yuki realized; he didn't care what would happen. He told Kyo he had total trust in him and this was just one way he could express that trust. Yuki then did something he never thought he would actually really do. He nodded at Kyo's question. He started getting antsy waiting for what Kyo might ask or do next, though he would be completely open to it.
Kyo saw the nod and smiled at it. He wasn't exactly entirely sure what he was going to do, but he was sure that he had to do something to get his thoughts in order. So, he took a step closer to Yuki, their bodies almost touching. He brought his hand from his side and placed it on Kyo's cheek, tracing his thumb across Yuki's lips. He looked up at Yuki, to make sure he was okay with this. There was no doubt Kyo could see in his eyes and with that Kyo leaned forward grasping Yuki's lips with his own. The kiss started out very chaste, just lips touching lips, getting use to the way the other felt.
When Kyo had leaned in for a kiss Yuki went wide-eyed, but then they slowly started to close. Yuki had nodded to this and he was okay with it. He wasn't going to push Kyo away now.
Kyo had closed his eyes when he was leaning in, so as to not see Yuki's face. He was surprised when Yuki made no objects to this, even though it felt so right to him, so right that he wanted to take this little bit further. His hand started to slide down the front of Yuki's uniform till it found his waist, where he wrapped his arms around and pulled Yuki closer to him. He pulled away from Yuki's lips, so that he could get some air. He waited to see Yuki take his breath then again captured his lips with another kiss. Only this time Kyo wanted to go further so he took a bold move, hoping Yuki's wouldn't make any objections. He ran his tongue along Yuki's bottom lip and Kyo felt him shake a little next to him, but then relax. Kyo could tell Yuki was trying hard not to freak out, so Kyo was having second thoughts but then Yuki opened his mouth for Kyo and started to respond to the kiss with his own tongue and bringing his arms up and around Kyo's neck bringing him closer. Kyo was stunned but didn't stop the kiss; instead he started the battle of dominance between the two. Kyo intertwined his tongue with Yuki's getting a very positive response back from him.
Yuki could feel his lungs start to strain and he knew he had to break away so he could get some air. He reluctantly pulled away from Kyo, breathing hard. He heard Kyo breathing heavy too hard too and he knew he had been at his limit as well. When he started to get his normal breathing back he rested his forehead against Kyo's.
"So," Kyo said leaning against Yuki. "Did you like what happened?"
Yuki let a small laugh and said, "Yeah, I thought it was really good."
Kyo lifted his forehead off of Yuki's and replaced it with his lips, giving him a light kiss. "Me too," Kyo said.
Yuki wished he could stay there forever or at least longer than it lasted; for at that moment the door from the prison garden. Kyo and Yuki both freaked out and pushed each other away, Yuki going toward the cell door. Yuki made it out of the cell just when the guard peaked around the corner of the door.
"Lord Yuki?" the guard asked.
"Yes?" Yuki answered a little frantic.
"The prisoners would like to come inside in a few minutes," he explained.
"Alright, that's fine," Yuki answered. The guard bowed and closed the door as he went through the door again. Yuki took a huge sigh of relief as he grabbed the bars of Kyo's cell and leaned his head against it. Yuki felt something warm on his hand. He took head off the bars and looked up to see Kyo staring back at him; Kyo's hand enclosing his own.
"You alright?" Kyo asked.
"Just a bit worried," Yuki said. "What if we were caught?"
"Who knows," Kyo said. "All I know is that we weren't so it's okay now." There was a knock at the opposite end of the hall and a faint voice saying, "Dinner." "You better get that."
"Okay," Yuki said. He started to pull away from the bars but something pulled him back and pressure was found on his lips; Kyo had pulled him back into a kiss. He kissed him back, but with that knocking still keeping up they let go. "I have to get that." Kyo nodded and Yuki walked down the hallway and opened the door. "I'm sorry for the wait," Yuki said the people holding the money on the cart.
"It's fine," one of them said and walked in wheeling the cart. Yuki was wondering how they managed to get the cart down the stairs, but didn't ask.
"Where are the prisoners?" the other asked.
"They're about to come in from the garden," Yuki explained.
"Oh, okay," the first one said. "We'll wait till their in their cells though." They then wheeled their cart to the side of the hall way as Yuki started to walk toward his desk, but not before he got one more look down at the cell he had just been at; Kyo's cell.
