Chapter 8: promises

For the past two weeks Ritsuka has been avoiding Soubi like he was the plague. And with each passing day he became more secluded and down right upset. Ritsuka was sitting in his chair trying to focus as he was aware of Soubi watching him. What Ritsuka didn't understand was why he asked him to the dance when he clearly wanted to be with the female. The more he thought about it the more his head-ache grew.

Ritsuka released a loud sigh as he rested his head on his palm. Tomorrow he would have to move in with Soubi since Seimei was leaving to go somewhere and he was not looking forward to it.

Flashback

"Ritsuka, I don't know what happened between you and Soubi, but tomorrow you will have to move in with him." Seimei said during breakfeast.

"Why do i have to move in with him? Why can't i go with you?" Ritsuka said as laid down his spoon.

"I'm going on a business ttrip. And i need you there so i don't have to worry about you..." he replied as he looked straight in his eyes.

"What is going on? Why do i get a bad feeling about this." Ritsuka asked with worry clear in his eyes.

"Its nothing bad. I just need you here." Seimei said as he smiled.

Usually he would have stopped worrying when Seimei smiled, but the thing is...the smile didnt reach his eyes this time.

end of flashback

"What could have made Seimei scared?" he mumbled. He stood up when the teacher called his name and his vision started to blur while his breathing became ragged. 'What's happening?' was the last thought that went past his mind before he feinted.

Soubi watched as Ritsuka fell and caught him before he landed. He rested his forehead against Ritsuka and realizd he had a very high fever.

"Sensei, I'm taking him to the nurse." Soubi said as he lifted Ritsuka into his arms. He heard the girls sigh and resisted rolling his eyes. Here he was taking a very sick person to the nurse and the girls was having fantasys.

He entered the nurse's office as she clucked her tongue. "This is the second time this month he's been here. I'm startin to think he's accident prone." she said as she laid him down on a unoccupied bed.

She checked his eyes, mouth, and forehead before she turned back to Soubi. "He's going to be just fine. Just a fever." she said as she went to the sink to wash his hands. "Would you mind waiting wth him until i return?" she asked as she headed for the door.

Soubi just shook his head yes as a confirmation. He sat down in a empty chair and watched Ritsuka. "Just a fever..." he mumbled as though to reasure himself. He watched in anticipation as Ritsuka eyes fluttered open and looked directly at him.

"What are you doing here?"

--

Ritsuka woke to seeing Soubi watching him.

"What are you doing here?" Ritsuka asked as he narrowed his eyes.

"Waiting for you to get better." Soubi said calmly. "We need to talk, Ritsuka. About what happened."

"I won't talk about it." Ritsuka said as he turned his head away.

Soubi walked up to the bed and laid his hand on his cheek. "I would never do anything to purposely hurt you. I love you."

"Yeah, you love me so much that you decided to kiss a girl right in front of me. There is no such thing as love." Ritsuka said bitterly. Soubi narrowed his eyes as he forced Ritsuka to look at him as Ritsuka eyes widened.

"Dont ever say that to me. What i feel for you is real," he said as he gentled his grip. "I love you and nothing would change that. No matter who tried to come between us. I promise."

"Soubi..."

Soubi smiled as he leaned into Ritsuka for a kiss.

"Ehem." They both turned their head to see the nurse flustered and looking away. "You may go to class young man." Soubi kissed Ritsuka on the cheek and said, "I will take you home after school."
