Drabble 23: Box Under The Bed

By: Kigen

Unofficially entitled Bedtime Stories of a Crimson Nightmare. Some YohLyserg teen fluff for you. So sweet and cute and romantic, it may just induce cavities.

Disclaimer: It's after nine at night, I'm cold, hungry, and want Pepsi. If Shaman King were mine, I'd make Yoh cook for me, Hao get my Pepsi, and cuddle with Lyserg to keep warm… Then remind myself that the characters only existed in my head and pout… Like I'm doing right now. It's still not mine though.

:-:-:-:-:

It was spring cleaning at the Asakura house, and Lyserg was currently working on cleaning under the bed. While cleaning, he found a box.

It wasn't anything extraordinary. Just a simple wooden box with a latch on it, stained a deep color.

Even knowing it was Yoh's and that he shouldn't pry, Lyserg's curiosity got the better of him.

Lyserg opened the box and found a picture of him sleeping... naked... clearly taken shortly after sex.

The dowser's face turning a bright red. He shoved it to the side. and continued to search through the box.

He was a bit surprised at what he found.

Yes, there were some embarrassing things (so that's where some of his forks went!).

Strange things (was that a pressed leaf and a ripped paper paddle?).

And even sentimental things, (the tickets stubs to a concert he and Yoh had went to, pictures of the two, and other keepsakes).

Curiously, Lyserg picked through the contents for the better part of an hour, until Yoh enterred the room and asked what he was looking at.

Lyserg blushed, guilty at being caught. Yoh looked to see what Lyserg was looking at and blushed himself (something rare for the shaman king).

With a smile, Yoh sat down and began explaining things.

In the picture, nothing was showing... and it had been their first time... and Lyserg was just too breath taking to pass up. The forks he had found hidden around the house (spirits knew how they got there), and kept a few himself. The leaf was from the first time they had visited the park in the autumn. Lyserg had tried a few vender's treats for the first time and burnt his tongue, causing Yoh to kiss it better. The ripped paddle was from the gold fish catching game lyserg played at his first festival... and could not win for the life of him. The tickets, pictures, and other stuff were all self explanatory.

Lyserg looked up in surprise as the tiniest fragment of glass fell out of a small velvet pouch.

When he asked Yoh what it was Yoh just leaned over, kissed his forehead and said that it was left over from the first pendulum that Lyserg had attached Yoh with. And that it had been one of the most memorable meetings ever.

Llyserg smiled, embarrassed as Yoh hugged him tightly and they continued to go through the little memory box.

Later that day, they returned it to it's spot underneath the bed. There, it waited to be opened another day. When a new picture would be added.

Yoh so owed Horo for popping in when he had Lyserg in a gentle kiss, the items from the box scattered around them.

It was just another wonderful memory to add to the box.

:-:-:-:-:

Wasn't it mind rotteningly sweet? I have no clue what's up next time, unless you people want a drabble for that one disclaimer with Hao hurting Lyserg to get Yoh… I'll see what I dig up.

Read and review please.

Ja manna-san!
