Yusuke sighs as he continues mopping up the water on the bathroom floor, with a towel. Kurama and he had stayed embracing each other for over an hour in the shower and then they had made love on the floor of the bathroom, getting water droplets all over the floor. After that Kurama had started to cry again, Yusuke didn't know why. He didn't know why the man he loved was so distressed and Kurama wouldn't tell him. It broke Yusuke's heart to see Kurama in so much pain, but he didn't know how to help him. Kurama had fallen asleep about ten minutes ago, just clinging tightly to Yusuke. Yusuke sighs again, hanging the wet towel on the shower curtain to dry. The spirit detective's stomach gave a huge growl just then and Yusuke places his hand on his stomach, only now just realizing how hungry he was. It had been almost twelve hours since he had last eaten. Man, a lot of crap had happened today. He leaves the bathroom making sure to shut off the light and close the door, the way that Kurama liked it. Yusuke looks at the fox-demon sleeping peacefully on the bed and smiles to himself, boy, Yusuke was really in love with the fox. Yusuke leaves the bedroom and goes into the tiny kitchen making him something quick. He hated to get back to the bedroom so that he could be with Kurama, but his lover had strict rules about eating in the bedroom, so Yusuke would have to deal with eating here in the kitchen. Yusuke pulls the food out and looks at it, suddenly not very hungry anymore. It as Kurama, he was so worried about Kurama that he couldn't think of anything else. He takes a bite of his food, still contemplating what might be going on. Maybe Kurama had had a fight with Hiei. Or what if something had happened to Shoiri? If it was Shoiri, then no wonder Kurama was upset. I mean Shoiri is everything to Kurama. Well, expect for Yusuke that is. Yusuke sighs before shaking his head. He would just have to ask Kurama tomorrow what was going on. I mean if he kept thinking about all the things that could be bothering Kurama, then he would drive himself crazy. He finishes the food that he really didn't want, and puts the plate in the sink, thinking that he would clean it tomorrow. He then trudges back to the bedroom and takes off his clothes. He lies down next to Kurama and wraps an arm around the kitsune's waist, pulling him up against him. He leans over Kurama and kisses his forehead before turning off the light; knowing that everything would be all right in the morning. Little did he know that his assumption was very wrong. Very wrong indeed. And Yusuke would find that out the moment he woke up.
Hiei runs a hand through his hair; he had watched Kurama crying in the bedroom and saw as Yusuke had comforted him. Even when it inconvenienced the spirit detective, he always made sure that Kurama was safe and comfortable. Hiei had been totally wrong about Yusuke and Hiei realized that now. He had always thought that the spirit detective was mean to Kurama by being so jealous and over-protective of the kitsune. Well, Kurama was just a protective of the spirit detective, but that was to be expected. Kurama had always made sure that the people he loved were safe. And there it was, he himself had just admitted that Kurama loved Yusuke. How could he just admit that, oh man he would never forgive himself. No matter how much he loved Kurama, it didn't matter if Kurama could never return his feelings, the fire apparition was just now realizing this and it hurt. It felt like his heart was being torn in two. Hiei hated feeling this way and begins to contemplate whether everyone felt this way when they feel in love. Hiei didn't know seeing as how he had never been in love before, but then how did he know it was love this time? Maybe it was just a want or a need, and nothing serious. But then againhe was sure that what he was feeling really was love or else it wouldn't hurt so bad seeing Kurama with Yusuke. It couldn't hurt that bad if he wasn't in love. Hiei lets his leg fall from the tree branch and dangle in mid-air, so he really did love the fox that was different. He decides that he's going to go to the temple tomorrow and visit Yukina, it had been a while since he had seen his sister and maybe that would help him get over Kurama, forget his love for this man who would never return his feelings. He was still outside of Yusuke and Kurama's apartment. He just couldn't seem to tear himself away from where he was sitting, even as he watched Yusuke strip, climb into bed beside Kurama, kiss his lover's forehead, and turn out the light to go to sleep. Hiei sighs, he was exhausted after his rendezvous with Kurama earlier and Koneko would worry if he didn't come home, but he wanted to sit here for just a little longer. He would head home once he got over Kurama. I mean that couldn't take long, right? Just a couple of hours and he would go home. A couple of hours and his heart would stop aching, because he would no longer love Kurama. Just a couple more hours and everything would be alright. Just a couple more hours. A couple more hours. Couple more hours.
Yeah, I know that it was short, barely hitting nine hundred and fifty words, but I like this chapter because it goes into what they are thinking a little more. It has the two men that are in love with Kurama. Next chapter will hopefully be up either when this one is posted or the next day. I'm going nighters now. Talk to you guys later, I love you and review.
