Ren was getting annoyed.

Here everyone was at the beach for a nice summer holiday. But Lyserg, they practically had to drag him there. And now that they were on the beach, Lyserg sat on a towel on the sand. He refused to take his shirt off or get into the water.

Deciding to have a bit of fun, Hao snuck up from behind, lifted a yelling, struggling Lyserg and threw him into waist deep water.

Sputtering as he came to the surface, Lyserg shot Hao a downright evil glare. One that was bad enough to make Hao actually almost take an unconscious step back.

Sloshing through the water, Lyserg stomped his way back on shore. He slipped his soggy shirt off, flung it at Hao's head (where it hit him in the face with a wet smack), and trekked his way back to the beach house they were staying at.

Yoh was about to go after him, when Ren stepped foreword. "I'll find out what's wrong with him."

Ren followed Lyserg into the house and found the boy shivering in his room, a few towels wrapped around his body like a cocoon. His body was curled up, leaning against the bed.

When Ren took a few steps closer, he heard Lyserg taking deep, shuddering breaths, as though he was trying to keep from hyperventilating; or crying.

Deciding not to ask any questions, not yet anyways, Ren just sat down next to Lyserg. Surprised, but not fighting it when Lyserg immediately curled into his arms.

He would find out why tomorrow.

First taste of RenLyserg angst. There shall be more in the future. Crack humor next drabble, with kitties.

Thanks for reading, please review.

Ja min'na-san!
