Ooh, Hani-senpai is dragged into the mix. :D And yes, the bunny is Usa-chan.
Forget what I said about last of the drabbles less than seven hundred words... er, this is the last one. Dx I swear!
Warning and Disclaimer: The same, the same. I dun like wasting space.
Moment Five-
Toothbrush-
Kao-kun, you like Usa-chan's toothbrush?
"Let go of me, Hikaru."
"Hika-kun," he smiles sleepily at me, nuzzling his head into my neck again. His embrace is warming, and slightly awkward; his hands are around me, hugging me to him like a toy.
I squirm out of his grasp, only to be pulled back into bed again. And I'm thoroughly annoyed-
"I have to go to work, Hikaru," I retort, and he only relinquishes his grip with a sad smile.
"Aw," he drawls, as I sit up, standing drowsily from the bed, tottering slowly to the bathroom. I give him a backwards glance, as he pouts, sitting up, the pink bunny still in his arms, "Why do you have to go to work, Kao-kun?"
"I have to," I reply simply, before turning my back on him, entering the large bathroom. I stare at my reflection for a while- Hikaru does faintly look like me, if he gels up his hair that is. I sigh, and pick up my orange toothbrush, putting toothpaste onto the bristles, before spotting a strange pink bunny-shaped toothbrush propped in a yellow smiley-faced cup.
I stare at it, completely ignoring how I got the mint toothpaste all over my hand. I place my toothbrush into my mouth brushing it, my eyes still fixed onto the oddity-
"Kao-kun, you like Usa-chan's toothbrush?" he cheeps happily, and I almost gag on my toothbrush.
"U-Usa-chan's… toothbrush?" I splutter out, my hazel eyes darting from the pink plush bunny to the pink rabbit-shaped toothbrush.
"Usa-chan eats lots of sweets so I have to brush his teeth everyday!" he smiles, blissfully ignorant to the fact that the rabbit was made out of cloth and definitely shouldn't be soaked with mint toothpaste. Nor eating sweets.
"But what's that doing in my bathroom?" But I don't even have to ask, as he points to another toothbrush, a blue one of identical shape-
"Your toothbrush looked lonely, so I decided to move mine in here!" he smiles, glitters adorning his aura. "Anyway! Usa-chan, time for your daily brushing!"
I freeze as he picks up the pink toothbrush, picking up a tube of vanilla flavored toothpaste and dashing it across the brush. My eyes widen as he tries to brush the rabbit's thread mouth, and I'm just staring at him- and staring-
"Hikaru," I say weakly, as he furrows his brow in concentration. He looks at me with an innocent smile, as he opens the faucet, and puts the rabbit into the spray of the water, the foam sliding off the bunny's face. "Hikaru, who taught you this?"
And if he could smile even more, that's just what he did, a light pace in his voice, "Hani-senpai! He likes sweets too, just like Usa-chan here! He kept me company a lot!"
I run my eyes over the now soggy bunny, as I continue, "From your school?"
He nods furiously, giving me a large smile, "But he's graduated now, and he gave me Usa-chan, so he wouldn't get lonely without Hani-senpai."
I spit out the bubbles, bringing a cup of water to my lips, gurgling quickly. And then, I see something in his smile that's different, and I spit out the water into the sink, blinking. But then, he smiles, delighted.
"But Hani-senpai doesn't have to worry!" he shouts, completely recovered, his smile practically emitting sparkles. He punched the air, "I will always take care of Usa-chan!"
And I just watch him, my mind churning, remembering that lost, empty look on his face.
It doesn't match him.
Sometimes, he just makes me want to laugh.
Sometimes, he just makes me want to cry.
