Baby of Mine
Chapter Three: Awkwardness
"I don't mean to be rude, but what the hell are you doing, Hiei?"
The rash Detective's voice rang out through the relatively empty bedroom, save for him and the fire apparition himself. Yusuke had just gotten into his bedroom, dressed in his usual nighttime attire - bare chested and in boxers - and his hair free of any gel that had been in it, only to find the short demon in his bed, under the covers and everything. Chocolate orbs stared in somewhat disbelief as Hiei just sat there, staring at him with emotionless, unfeeling, ruby red pools.
When he didn't receive an answer, Yusuke prodded the hiyoukai even further, "Hello? Aren't you going to get out of my bed, Hiei?"
Hiei gave a rough 'hn' and replied, "No."
The dark haired man decided to ignore the fact that his face was feeling a little hot as his current "bodyguard" said those words, and decided to not argue with Hiei any longer, for his stomach gave a shudder and a wave of nausea washed over him. "So, where am I supposed to sleep?"
"In the bed." Hiei said nonchalantly.
His eyes slightly widened, "What?"
"You're supposed to sleep in the bed. With me."
"What?"
"You are quite thick headed, you know that." Hiei countered, more a statement than a question.
"So I've been told." Yusuke shook his head slightly, as if to reinitiate the point in his brain, "But wait. Why do we have to sleep together? It really makes no sense."
A slight growl escaped the demon's lips, "I am your bodyguard, Yusuke." He slightly shifted among the sheets, "I have to protect you for the time required for Kurama to develop, and in your recovery time afterward." A slight yawn escaped Hiei's lips, showing his fangs, "You will be unaware of demons and other things as you sleep, leaving you open for attack - "
"So you want us to sleep together so you can keep an eye on me? Can't you do that in the next room? Ya know, with your Jagan?" Yusuke said rather bluntly, approaching the bed. "
"In the time it would take for me to come to your aid, you could have been assassinated already, knowing the speed of demons these days." Hiei replied, "Besides, it's easier this way."
Yusuke sighed. Oh, whatever, it seems like Hiei's determined to sleep with me...
His cheeks flushed as he realized the double-standard of what he just thought.
Another thought crossed his mind - when did Hiei ever like things the easy way?
Odd...
The dark haired man climbed into bed and settled down, making himself comfortable in the bed alongside the apparition, who seemed as cold as ever. Yusuke turned on his side, facing outward, away from Hiei's gaze. He reached over and pulled the string on the lamp that rested on his night stand, which was the only light provider in the entire room. The room went dark.
Yusuke tried to focus his mind away from the fact that he was in bed with one of his friends. Hiei, of all people. Wow.
The Urameshi boy hadn't even noticed the closeness of their two bodies, until his back began to feel unnaturally warm. It was as if Hiei was right next to him, although he was on the other side of the bed. This was natural, him being a fire apparition and all. The warmth was comforting to Yusuke. Better than being chillingly cold every night in the bed by himself.
Although it was very strange, to be sharing a bed with Hiei, he felt at ease by having the youkai next to him.
He felt Hiei's eyes boring holes into the back of him. Yeah, he was doing a good job of protecting him...maybe too good a job.
Yusuke focused his eyes on the window that was across from his bed. Looking out of it, he saw the stars, bright and shimmering out in the canvas of black night.
Closing his eyes, he tried to think of something else besides what transformations have been occurring in his body.
What helped him to eventually fall asleep was the rhythmic breathing of Hiei next to him.
If it wasn't the beams of sunlight beaming down from his window that woke him up, it was the laughter of someone in his room. Yusuke just didn't know who it was, although he was rather reluctant to find out.
Wait...laughter? Yusuke thought, sitting straight up in his bed, chocolate eyes roaming around the room, searching for the source of the melodic sound which penetrated his ears, just as the blinding sunlight penetrated his eyes.
His eyes met with the certain familiar lavender orbs of the blue haired deity who had "baby proofed" his apartment just two days earlier.
"Botan, what the hell?!" Yusuke half whispered, half yelled, as he realized that the fire apparition slumbering beside him was still sleeping.
The Grim Reaper smiled brightly and gave a ditzy "meow", making a face that resembled a cat's likeness. Botan was floating giddily on her oar, seated just a few feet away from the bed where Yusuke lay, stunned at the blue haired girl's sudden appearance. "Having fun with your new bodyguard?" Botan giggled. "Try not to mix business with pleasure, Yusuke." Another laugh escaped from her lips.
"You're annoying, Botan." Yusuke growled.
Botan giggled at this even more, "I've just come over to check your progress, but I had no idea that I would find you two in the same bed together."
"Oh, shut up..."
"You're so uptight, Yusuke," Botan floated over in his direction and patted his mop of tangled and unbrushed raven hair. "...but anyway, despite your newfound sleeping buddy..." She giggled once more at this, "...I have to check your progress to see if everything is developing properly."
The blue haired woman flipped the covers off of Yusuke's lap, where they had pooled when he had sat up so abruptly, "Let's see..." She trailed off.
Botan placed her slender hands on Yusuke's mid-section and closed her eyes, as if in deep though, concentrating. A light pink energy emitted from the palms of her hands and surged into the raven haired man's stomach, where the baby Kurama was supposedly developing.
When she opened her eyes, she smiled, "Alright, Yusuke."
"And..."
Tilting her head to the side, she looked at him reassuringly, "Everything's fine so far...although you will have to deal with morning sickness - "
Yusuke immediately clamped a hand over his mouth and looked as if he were about to be sick. Botan only looked at him in wonder. "Don't tell me you suddenly got nauseous because I said that..."
Yusuke began to frantically nod his head. He threw the covers off his muscular form and rushed to the bathroom, which was halfway across the room, before he had an accident.
Throwing himself at the toilet, he began to relieve his stomach of its contents, wondering just how long it would be until he was able to actually eat something without it coming back up in droves.
Ah, yes, nine months...
That's how long it took, right?
He could tell leaning over a toilet and puking almost every morning was going to get very old, very fast.
Why me?! Yusuke shouted in his head as the wave of nausea left him.
"You loved him, Yusuke."
"Oh, yeah, how could I forget?" The muscular man mumbled as he vaguely remembered Koenma's words
The blue haired girls chipper voice was heard from outside the slammed bathroom door, "I'll see you later, Yusuke! Feel better!"
Then he heard the sound of wind and the swishing of curtains and he knew she had just flown off out the window.
"Sure, Botan, sure..." Yusuke said under his breath.
He lowered his head into the bowl once more and emptied what was left of his stomach into it. Yusuke finally lifted his head after a while, and his head was cleared, stomach settled. I feel a bit better... He trailed off.
Rising himself up from the floor, Yusuke stumbled once again into his bedroom, slightly swaying as he did so, feeling dizzy from the lack of food in his stomach. Chocolate eyes gazed toward his bed, seeing that Hiei was still sleeping peacefully, much to his surprise. He thought that the Jaganshi would have been up at the first appearance of Botan if he sensed her spirit energy.
Yusuke just assumed that Hiei knew it was Botan and had let her enter without even caring if it was really her or not.
Some bodyguard. Yusuke scoffed as he made his way into the kitchen, desperately searching for something to quench his thirst and to wash the salty taste of vomit from his mouth.
Sighing, he reached into the cabinet and brought out a packet of tea. Yusuke drinking tea - a ludicrous concept for most people, knowing his volatile nature, but Botan had managed to sneak his coffee out of his apartment somehow or another, although he didn't know why.
As he brewed the tea in a pot on the stove, the "old fashioned way", as he referred to it, Yusuke yawned and focused his sleepy eyes on the clock that was on the wall just above the doorframe that entered the kitchen. "Six in the damn morning..." Yusuke mumbled grumpily. "That's when Botan has to come and wake me up, isn't it?"
Running a hand through his messy bed head, he exhaled, "Can't she give a pregnant man a break?"
Realizing the ridiculousness of his words, he emitted a simple chuckle, which turned into a fit of laughter. "I am, aren't I?"
To any normal person, Yusuke Urameshi would look to be insane.
"I am pregnant. With Kurama!"
Laughter.
More laughter.
It seemed that the cold, hard, slap of reality finally hit Yusuke, although it was surprising that it had not already.
The whistling of the tea kettle sounded, snapping Yusuke out of his insane reverie.
Letting out an irrepressibly dreamy-sounding sigh, Yusuke smirked as he poured himself a cup of tea, and he wondered why exactly he thought being pregnant was funny.
"I'm gonna be as bloated as a damn blimp!"
Ah, that was why...
He chuckled as he wandered over back to the bedroom, feeling more than slightly better from his little burst of insanity because of God-knows-what.
He could've sworn Botan probably injected him with something when he was being "checked", or so she called it.
Feh.
As Yusuke walked toward the bed, he noticed how peacefully innocent the hiyoukai looked when he was sleeping, and was also surprised that Hiei was sleeping so much.
Must have been tired... Yusuke thought, gulping the last of his tea, somewhat cautiously, as to not stir his stomach's contents, or what was left of them. The chocolate eyed man set the cup onto the night stand and climbed into bed for the second time with Hiei as his bed mate.
Except, this time, he didn't turn his back to him.
Strangely, Yusuke found himself perfectly content looking at Hiei's pale, sleeping face as he himself drifted off into a peaceful sleep alongside him.
End Chapter Three.
Okay, I realize that this chapter was somewhat boring, and if you want to tell me what you think of this extremely plot-less, drabble-ish chapter, please review kindly, my peeps, okay?
I hope that the little bit of YusukexHiei action in this chapter has made up for the lack of plot development that this chapter provided.
I just felt like I had to update this story, and I really didn't want to keep anyone else waiting any longer, although I probably think not a lot of people will like this.
But I hope y'all do!
So, please, review with your opinions!
