I'm Sorry, Omi
Chapter 3
"Anyone seen Kaoru-chan?" Niwa asked at breakfast, noticing their Queen missing
"He got back quite late from the meeting, he's probably still asleep." Omi said, buttering his toast. "I'll go see him in a minute.." he said, biting into his breakfast. Niwa nodded in agreement.
After finishing his breakfast and washing up his plate, Omi went upstairs to Kaoru's room with a slice of toast and honey and a cup of tea for him.
He knocked softly and, when there was no reply, entered. The room was bright; Kaoru uncharacteristically hadn't closed the curtains before he went to bed. Kaoru himself was curled up under the comforter, breathing softly as he slept. Omi went over to the bed quietly and sat beside his boyfriend's smaller body, placing the food and tea on the bedside table and lightly stroked his hair off his face.
He's so cute.
Kaoru mumbled something incoherent and his eyes opened slowly, looking dazedly up at the other boy. Omi smiled and bent down to kiss him
"Morning." He said, before putting his lips to Kaoru's. To his surprise, Kaoru sat up before they'd barely brushed, avoiding both his lips and his eye. "Kaoru?" he looked at him and realised what he'd done
"Oh, sorry.. Morning, Omi…" he said, kissing him briefly before getting up and going into his bathroom for a shower. Omi frowned at his weird behaviour, but decided he was just tired. He sighed and got up, finding some clothes for Kaoru to wear when he came back from the shower. He sat on the bed and waited for Kaoru to return.
The bathroom door opened and Kaoru stepped out, wearing a bathrobe. Omi smiled and stood up to hug him but Kaoru flinched.
"Kaoru, what's wrong? You're acting very strangely."
"I-it's nothing, Omi. Sorry.." he mumbled, letting Omi hug him, enjoying the comforting warmth.
"Are you alright? Do you feel ill or something?" the taller boy asked, stroking his damp hair. Kaoru was about to shake his head but stopped himself.
"Actually, I do feel a little under the weather.." he mumbled. He hated lying to Omi but it was the only way he could avoid being with him. He felt Omi's large cool hand on his forehead
"You do feel pretty warm… Get back into bed, Kaoru; I'll look after the treasury for today." He said with a smile, sitting Kaoru on his bed.
"Are you sure? I can do something from here, if-"
"No, Kaoru, its fine. You're probably just tired; get some good rest, ok?" Kaoru smiled weakly and obeyed, glad to have such a kind boyfriend. Omi smiled, putting the covers back over him and passing him the cup of tea, which he accepted with a smile "So, did you sort out the budgeting last night?" Omi asked, sitting on the edge of his bed. Kaoru tensed but kept himself calm
"Um, n-not quite. I think I'll keep going to those meetings, for Kazuki's sake.." he said with a small smile. Omi frowned
"Really?" Kaoru nodded
"It's better for him to have as little to do as possible, it keeps him away from Keita too much. Its fine, I'm glad to do it." Omi sighed and nodded
"Ok, I understand.." he said. He smiled and kissed Kaoru's forehead "That's really sweet of you. You want me to tell Kazuki?"
"Um, yeah, sure. Thanks." Omi smiled, kissing him again, and left to see Kazuki. Kaoru sighed once the door was closed, sipping his tea. Sorry, Omi…
I know this was a very short one, next chapter is longer!
