Chapter 13-Are You Gonna Be My Girl
"I'm going out now," Haru dully told Hatori and spun around to leave. It had been a couple of days since Hatori had moved into Haru's house. It was much easier to keep an eye on him this way.
"Why are you dressed like that?" Hatori asked him once he had taken a good look at Haru's outfit.
Haru was wearing a tan jacket all buttoned up and tuffs of white around the wrists and neckline, there was also some outlining the bottom of the jacket, and the lining as well. There was a golden cowbell tied around his neck and he had tan gloves on. But what Hatori was obviously referring to was the narrow headband on Haru's head; there were cow ears and horns attached. The whole look was overly cowish.
"It's called Halloween," Haru sighed annoyed looking back at the doctor, "I'm going to Knox's."
"What's this Halloween? And no you're not going to Knox's," Hatori asked quickly.
"Halloween is a holiday and you can't make me stay here," Haru said flatly as he made to open the door.
Hatori quickly got up to grab the cow by the arm, effectively making Haru move from the door. "I said no."
"You just don't like Knox," Haru said annoyed, pointing a finger at Hatori accusingly as he said it.
"Of course I don't, and I don't like you hanging around him, either," Hatori stated flatly.
"Well isn't that too bad," Haru sighed getting even more annoyed. "Because I'm still going; you going to stay up all night and make sure I don't leave? Tomorrow's Sunday, I don't have school but you still have to work. Do you truly want to be tired all day?"
Haru had a good point.
"I could lock you in your room," Hatori thought out loud. Haru frowned.
"My room doesn't have a lock on it, and even if it did, there's a window," Haru argued crossing his arms over his chest.
"Your room is on the second story," Hatori told him, as if he hadn't known.
"And?" Haru prodded.
"You'd jump out a second story window?" Hatori asked.
"More or less," Haru replied, and then cracked a sly smile, "hey, I would have just snuck out after you were asleep but there's a party so I wanted to go early."
"Aren't you just brazen," Hatori sighed, and went back to reading his book. "Bye."
"Good," Haru opened the door and stepped onto the porch and into the night air. "Bye," he called as he shut the door.
'God.' He thought Hatori would never leave him alone. The stupid doctor finally listened to reason. His pace quickened; there was no way he was going to be late.
"Haru!" Knox yelled happily as Haru stepped into his apartment. Knox was wearing a long black trench coat with a suit underneath. There was a top hat fixed crookedly on his head and he wore a great deal more make-up than usual.
"What are you suppose to be?" Haru asked him quickly studying his outfit.
"If you don't know, than I'm not going to tell you," Knox teased and kissed him.
"I'll make you," Haru teased back. "I'll twist your fingers."
"I don't doubt that," Knox reasoned kissing Haru's bottom lip, "but wouldn't you rather go to the party?"
"You can go with broken fingers," Haru replied.
"First I'd have to go to the hospital," Knox laughed, "than I'd be very late to my own party. You want that?"
"Maybe," Haru teased deviously; it was his turn to kiss Knox.
"You dirty…" Knox teased as he kissed the Ox back, "Come on let's go. There's plenty of time for that afterward."
The party was lots of fun and they drank a lot. It ended in the early hours of the morning. Knox practically dragged the drunken cow back to his place.
"Hey, I bought that outfit the other day," Knox teased as they ate breakfast.
"You did!" Haru asked staring at his lover seriously.
Knox nodded evilly, "I had Manson go and get it. The poor guy was mortified."
"Ayame probably did something to him," Haru laughed. Then look at Knox seriously, "You really want me to wear it?"
"No, I bought it to just stare at it," Knox teased.
"I don't know," Haru sighed, "do you really think a dress would look good on me?"
Knox nodded very enthusiastically, "Course."
"Well, for you then," Haru sighed and Knox ran to go get it. "But only if you wear those black pants I like and that Korn shirt. No trench."
Knox nodded swiftly but a little frown escaped, "Fair trade."
After a half an hour Haru was unrecognizable. He wore a long black dress. He had struggled to put on the skirt; his feet kept getting caught in the multiple layers of silk and lace and when he finally managed to finish dressing, he had to adjust the low neckline; the bell sleeves falling back to his elbows as he did so.
"Damn I do look like a girl," Haru sighed studying himself in the mirror.
"Right, let's go," Knox said. "I could open the bar."
"We're not going to the bar even if no one's there," Haru told him sternly.
"Now say it in a girlie voice," Knox teased.
"How about we stick the dress on you," Haru countered.
"It wouldn't quite fit," Knox teased, "I'm taller than you."
"Then I'll make it fit," Haru answered back.
"All right," Knox said relenting, "Seriously though, you don't want people to think you're a guy do you?"
"I'm not going to talk," Haru sighed.
Knox snickered and the two of them went out.
They were having a fairly good time; the only people that stared at them were those that were just staring at Haru's dress. They'd just left the bakery when Haru spied Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru. His eyes widened and Knox followed his gaze.
"Those are your cousins and Tohru, right?" Knox asked with a hint of mischievousness.
Haru nodded, but he wasn't liking where this was going.
An almost feral smile crossed Knox's lips, "Let's go." He jumped up and headed their way.
"What are you doing!" Haru whispered catching up to him.
"Let's see how well that disguise works," Knox whispered back and kissed Haru's earlobe.
Haru didn't say a word after, just grabbed Knox's hand. He and Knox stood next to the threesome as they waited to cross the street. Knox studied them more closely.
"What's your problem!" Kyo shot, realizing he was being stared at.
"Hmmm," Knox said as if knocked out of some trance, and continued innocently, "did you say something to me? I kind of spaced."
"No," Kyo growled clearly annoyed.
He turned to his 'girl' friend and planted a sweet kiss on her lips, nuzzling her neck. Haru felt like he was going to die his heart was racing so fast.
The light changed and they crossed the street with no more incident and the groups split in opposite directions.
"That was fun," Knox cheered, raising a hand in triumph, "let's do it again!"
Haru glared at him.
"Or not," Knox teased, a little deflated. "I think I've had enough for one day. Let's go home."
Haru strolled into the house several hours later to find a rather irritated Hatori waiting for him.
"Where have you been; it's well past three," Hatori asked him.
"Oh, what no welcome home, how are you, how've you been?" Haru teased with a snort as he hung up his coat.
"You've been gone for eighteen hours," Hatori pointed out.
"Really! Hadn't noticed," Haru said sarcastically and started to go up to his room.
"Haru, we've decided we want to meet your boyfriend, Knox," Hatori sighed, "tomorrow at Shigure's around four in the afternoon."
Haru snorted again, not turning back to face the doctor. "Don't expect anything."
End of chapter 13-
It's been almost a week so this is 13, unbetaed again… hopefully I'll get 13 and then repost it.
This has to be one of my favorite chapters. Its kind of funny. I saw a fan pic on deviantart a little while ago with Haru in a dress and then I thought: funny Haru… in a dress… and then I remembered that I'd written this… and then it made me laugh harder. If you hadn't already noticed I'm a real twisted individual.
Gave up on the border things…
Please, five reviews or I'll take FOREVER to post again…
