Your Sugar Sits Untouched: A Cure?
Kyo walked through the door to Hitsugi's house. All he'd been thinking about on the trip home was Hitsugi. But Hitsugi had come home to an empty house and wasn't responding well to that... He wanted to protect Kyo. But at this moment Hitsugi was going through a list of all the horrible things that could have happened to Kyo for him to have disappeared. Hitsugi had no idea what to do and he was freaking out about it.
And then Kyo walked through the door as casually as if he'd just made a quick run to get a cup of tea.
"Where in Hell have you been?" Hitsugi exclaimed, still somewhat worriedly.
Kyo almost smiled at the adorableness of seeing Hitsugi mad. "I was at Kaoru's house getting my stuff." Kyo responded calmly.
"WHAT? What happened? Are you okay?" By this point Hitsugi was really freaking out.
"Relax. I know what you're thinking and it's not like that. He didn't hurt me. I swear."
Hitsugi still didn't seem to believe Kyo but he bit his lip and calmed down. "Will you tell me what did happen?" Hitsugi made puppy dog eyes at Kyo but Kyo didn't see them as he walked down the hall to escape to the guest room he was staying in.
"Maybe later…" He said to Hitsugi before shutting the door.
Kyo loved that Hitsugi seemed to care about him so much, but Kyo was still confused as to why Hitsugi cared so much. Hitsugi had only known the vocalist for a few short days and he'd already offered Kyo a place to live.
Hitsugi worried about Kyo a lot. He wanted his new friend to be safe and cared for. He didn't want to see Kyo hurt anymore. But underneath the maternal instinct Hitsugi felt something more for Kyo. And although he did not know it, Kyo felt the same way about Hitsugi.
Later that night after a quiet and somewhat tense dinner the two boys went to their separate rooms to sleep. Kyo had still not told Hitsugi about what happened at Kaoru's house and Hitsugi decided not to push him.
Kyo sat up in his bed after a while. He couldn't sleep. He felt so tiny in the mostly empty bedroom and vast bed. Kyo sighed and got up. Then Kyo did something unexpected. He headed straight for Hitsugi's room. Kyo opened the door quietly and looked at Hitsugi's form.
"Hitsugi? Are you awake?" Kyo whispered. Hitsugi sat up and looked at Kyo confused.
"Are you okay, Kyo?" Hitsugi asked.
"No. I can't sleep." Kyo replied sitting on the edge of Hitsugi's bed.
"Me either." Hitsugi said.
A brief silence passed between the two. "Can I stay here with you tonight?" Kyo asked.
Hitsugi was somewhat confused but he couldn't say no to Kyo. "Sure." He said scooting over to give Kyo some room to lie down. Kyo lay down next to Hitsugi.
"Hitsugi, can I tell you something?" Kyo whispered.
"Of course." Hitsugi responded. He was still confused that Kyo was being so… Close when earlier he had been trying to keep his distance.
Kyo sighed and told Hitsugi about the first time he'd been abused by Kaoru. Hitsugi listened to Kyo intently. His eyes widened in horror as he listened. Once Kyo finished Hitsugi snuggled his friend into a tight hug. Kyo wasn't upset after retelling his story but he loved the sweet scent that drifted around Hitsugi. He snuggled his face into Hitsugi's warm neck and the two stayed like that for a long while.
Finally Hitsugi pulled away and Kyo continued talking. He told Hitsugi about what had happened at Kaoru's house. He recounted everything, from the kiss he had shared with his former abuser to how he felt about Kaoru's change and Hitsugi listened.
By the time Kyo had finished the story Hitsugi was feeling a little jealous. He wanted Kyo but he knew that the vocalist wasn't his and never would be. But Hitsugi wanted to try to keep Kyo happy and safe anyway.
"So are you going to be with Kaoru?" Hitsugi asked quietly.
"I don't know. That's why I brought my clothes here. I still have so much more to sort out." Kyo replied.
Hitsugi nodded, understandingly. "Thank you for telling me about what happened. I'm sorry you had to go through such pain."
"It's fine. Thank you for letting me stay here. I really don't want to be alone tonight." Kyo said snuggling into Hitsugi's arms again.
And with that the two boys fell asleep.
Author's Note: Yes that was short! I know. Lots of fluff. It actually took me a while to write though… My stomach is all scratched up and unhappy. But I'm done! Yaoi planned in the next chapter. ;) Yeah this chapter sucked but whatever…. I'm okay with it….
