Once they were outside the cold night air blessed them, almost pleading they come further into natures sweet embrace. Or maybe Soubi was just being too hopeful he, looked down at the child and said in a voice that was just as calm and seemingly emotionless "Where should we go now? I'll do whatever you ask." had the older male not been entirely certain that the desperate woman behind the door that was shut just behind them would not bother to pursue or bother them anymore he might have just gotten to the point and taken the boy where he intended on taking him, but Soubi knew better than to pass up an opprotuinity to see Ritsuka so cutely upset.

He was right, the child was upset, he narrowed his eyes up at the older male and said in an irritated voice "You dragged me out of my house past curfew so i I /i could pick where we go?" he rolled his eyes and then promptly averted them from his older counter part.

It was the sight that he saw next that warned him of what was to happen that night...if only he knew how ominous that blue butterfly was...flying under a lamp post in the dead of night with no apparant purpose. Soubi came up from behind him and wrapped his arms around that lithe waist, for a moment, still watching that blue spectacle, ritsuka found himself forgetting to pull away like he normally would.

But the pause was only a momentary present to his dear Soubi...when he realized what had just happened he pulled away from him grumbled his complaints about he not liking that kind of treatment, and how soubi was being a pervert. That was when a strange chime reached the childs ears, he turned to see the other lifting his phone from his pocket to his ear with an irritated expression on his face 'Who would be calling me right now?' he thought to himself, not even bothering to linger on the question or to check the caller id. On the other end of the phone, first there was only whining and complaining that all melted together into incoherent babble, it took a moment before anything Kio was saying made any sense "And its all because of those darn Aoyagi! and that stupid lolita complex! why soubi...wwwwwhhhhyyyyy!" he sounded like a child and at the last, enlongated word, soubi had to remove the phone from his ear for fear of losing his hearing.

Ritsuka cocked his head to the side ever so slightly in wonder at the peeved look on the others face, an emotion like that wasnt something he saw everyday in this person. "Kio...Im not a pervert." he said definitely before he clicked the phone off and sighed 'He must be drunk again.' he explained to himself and then pocketed the phone without another thought towards the subject.

Violet tinted eyes wandered towards the door of his home but blue ones, paralleling that almost inhuman beauty caught them and the owner took action on a dime...he leaned forward to whisper into the childs ear in a cheerfully hushed voice "Shall we go now?" he needed to take the child from this place...and he wanted to do it for good.

But he didnt know if he could ever get Ritsuka to leave his mother behind, even though she treated him horribly, soubi could still tell that he was loyal and would stay loyal until that woman sent him to his premature grave. While these morbid thoughts plagued his mind he found himself wandering away from the house, the boy obliged to his request and followed close behind him with his hands tucked protectively in his pockets, but what was he protecting? probably just what little security he had left.

The blonde himself didnt know where they were going, so when he found himself looking at the picnic table he had taken ritsuka's first kiss at, he wondered how...and why...his mind had led him there. The same question seemed to be nagging at the younger one as he stepped towards the table and leaned his weight against it, legs crossed at the ankles and hands still taking refuge in his pockets "So...why are we out here, Soubi?" he was trying not to sound as scared as he really was in this situation and soubi was trying to sound just as knowing as he wished he really was.

"Ritsuka. Come li--" the man had the others full attention the moment he opened his mouth but a scream broke his sentence in half, it was so close and soubi wondered if another pair had snuck up without him noticing...impossible. When he turned he saw a blonde blur go past him at an astounding speed for someone soubi knew to be Very drunk, he followed the blur with his eyes and his body followed smoothly, but the sight that awaited him was overwhelmingly aggravating.

Ritsuka was now on top of the table instead of just leaning against it and the assailant, his so called 'friend' Kio, was snuggling into his neck, murring and whimpering more of his incoherent babble. The younger ones tail whipped the table below him viciously and he yelled out scarring words to the older, more outgoing male, to make him relieve himself from the childs small body. Kio didnt hold back any of his weight on the child, he snuggled up to him and seemed to be pleading with him...but for what...no one could know.

Soubi had had enough of this disturbing sight, he moved swiftly before the two of them and grabbed Kio by the collar of his purple long sleeve button up shirt, pulling him, kicking and complaining, off of i his /i Ritsuka. "Kio. Why are you here?" he demanded to know in his cold voice, the one he used when he didnt want anyone to know that he was really fuming with murderous anger. "Souuuuubiiiii...why do you do this? why cant you just stay with me!" his breath reeked of some kind of alcohol, Soubi didnt care to know which it was, only how much he had had and when he would be back to normal.

Not that this wasnt a farcry from his normal self to begin with. The taller blonde seemed to ignore the writhing Kio in his firm grasp and he turned with a strange smile to Ritsuka "Well you cant go home now. You should just come stay with me for the night." the child was just righting himself and hopping off of the table when the invitation was given, he didnt think this was something that Soubi would normally say, and it definately wasnt how the Soubi he knew would normally say it...it must have been this other blonde male, Kio, who attributed to this change in attitude.

But no matter who made the college student act the way he did there was no sense in denying him what he wanted...and going back home to face his mother so soon after he had left was not something that he had really planned on doing...so he would simply nod and bow slightly. Even though Soubi was jerk it wouldnt hurt to be polite to him when he was offering his home for the night...

So Ritsuka again found himself following Soubi quietly through the night, but this time it was only he that was quiet, there was enough background noise from Kio to make up for any other noise that might have been during the short walk to the other mans apartment.
