Chapter 3
Ryuu hasn't had the slightest clue where he was going. He just let his legs lead him along the roads and alleys they chose. He couldn't even squeeze a sensible thought from his brain. It was still occupied by the great mass, that were his cells.
Hayato just got him crazy!
No… it was Hayato who has gone crazy!
What had happened… he just couldn't accept it. His brain dodged all his efforts to get Hayato's actions understand.
It has already happened a few times, that Hayato in a heated moment assured him of his love… But that was only just a joke. They were best friends… And both guys! That wouldn't be normal. Couldn't be! On top of that Hayato was always very popular among girls. And he liked them too. On a different way than he liked Ryuu… Right? Please tell me, it's different, and he was just out of his senses…
He didn't like boys either, did he? (not as if he was so interested in girls though, but that wasn't the question now…) He liked Hayato of course, and he was always missing him like hell, whenever they had to be separated, but he was his childhood friend after all. It was natural, that he missed his warm shining eyes and beautiful smiles sometimes, right?
Aww, those darkchocolate orbs, filled with lust and longing, devouring him…
Shit! Ryuu felt like snapping himself hard. What was that with these thoughts?
He didn't realize so far how much time had flown past him since he was wandering about. The sun was slowly sinking behind the tall buildings. He absentmindedly ended up at a playground. A small but nice one. There were no children or parents anymore. It was deserted. Perfect place for him to think (or to try something similar that you may call thinking), and if necessary kick himself hard if such thoughts'd invade his dizzy mind again.
He dropped down to a lonely swing and just for his own fun started rocking himself. It felt nice. A little bit soothing.
"Would it feel this good if it was him rocking me in his arms…?"
He really did snap himself now.
"Fuck, Ryuu! How can you think about such things! He is your friend and probably was just acting stupid again! Wanted to bring you over the edge 'cause he was bored…!" he rebuffed himself irritated. He got even more irritated as he realized the soft blush spreading on his cheek, and no matter how much he tried, he couldn't banish these thoughts. As if only thinking about Hayato, and calling his name in his mind would have given these thoughts free way. He felt like suffocating in them.
But he was still drawning in some kind of pleasure…
"Maa~ So here you are!" a cheerful voice snapped him from his daydreaming.
As he looked up, still confused and dizzy, he found Take grinning down at him.
"Oi, Ryuu, are you all right?" he asked concerned and Take plopped down onto the swing next to Ryuu's and started rocking himself too, but into Ryuu's direction.
Ryuu just shrugged the question away, and turned his gaze back in front of himself. Take was watching him, chewing on his lower lip, his fingers playing with the chain of the swing. How should he put it?...
"Why did you run away?" he tried to start a conversation, but in vain. The other reacted the same as before. "What did… Hayato do?"
Ryuu's body tensed, his eyes widened even so slightly.
Take shook his head softly. He wasn't going anywhere, though he was suspicious what the problem lay behind.
" I saw you two, you know" he giggled embarrassed, a light blush spreading on his cheek as he remembered, and not just the sight but his own thoughts too.
Ryuu's head jerked in his direction. His widened eyes were pleading and threatening at the same time. They said: Tell me, you're not serious! Take gulped and scratched the back of his head, and grinned shyly.
"Sorry, but I did. From the hill the two of you were free to see, and clearly. So I saw when Hayato… you know… kissed you. He did, didn't he? And you knocked him off…. Oi, Ryuu! Ryuu, what's wrong?"
Take quickly leapt to his feet in front of the redhead and took a hold of his shoulders.
Ryuu was in shock. It wasn't enough what Hayato had done, Take had seen everything. What may he think? What will happen next? Why did he have to come and tell him, that he knew? Does he want something?...
His bewilderment was broken by a soft warm pressure on his lips. His eyes widened even more if possible, his mouth agaped, that gave the chance to Take to deepen the kiss, and the tip of his small tongue touched his teeth and lip. The smaller teen took advantage of the situation and one of his hand let go of Ryuu's stiffened shoulder and sank into his silky hair.
As Take leaned away, accepting that Ryuu was no partner in kissing, a half-satisfied, half- annoyed sigh escaped his thin lips. The hand that enjoyed itself among his bangs sank out and moved along the soft yet cold features of his friend. His small fingertip touched his high cheekbone, the corner of his eye, the unique line of his nose, down his parted, still wet pinkish lips. There lingered some pleasuring seconds, and Take kept also his longing eyes there, before he pulled away.
He finally sighed in defeat.
"It'd be so nice kissing with you Ryuu, but you're needed for that too, you know?" He smiled a bit, and noted that Ryuu was half-way back his normal self as he gave him one of his glares. However it was a weakened version, without its real edge, it still felt like an icy shower from pure sky. If it wasn't Take, he would have surely run away as fast as he could.
"Sorry for disturbing you so much" Take apologized. "In real, I didn't really see the kiss itself, just thought it was. Couldn't think of anything else… and I just couldn't find any other way to distract you… Don't hate me, will you?" he asked with a bit worried, but bright grin.
For his luck Ryuu didn't feel like murdering his small friend. There were other thoughts running in his head, and just about the hundredth one played with the idea what kind of agonizing death Take should die for making him go through all this.
His thoughts were finally making a straight line along which he could go, to come to a conclusion.
He had the chance now to compare the two kisses he got just a few hours apart from each other.
The one he got from Take was tender and soft. Maybe a bit uncertain, slightly touching, and the way his hand was caressing his hair made things even nicer.
The one he got from Hayato in comparison was demanding and hungry. A fierce kiss, burning with buried passions. And on top of that very possessive. Not a kiss that one'd think about as their first kiss. However it was Hayato's kiss that Ryuu enjoyed. He liked it in some ways…
… and that could lead only to one conclusion…
Deep in his thoughts he didn't hear a thing from his surrounding. Not even Take's voice as he called his name with some fear making it tremble, nor the other affecting and challenging voices from the gang that'd just invaded the park. He didn't even see them as he leapt to his feet, ready to run with all his might, not giving himself the chance to change his mind. So he bumped into one of the guys standing in his way.
He shot him an angry glare. He was in a hurry! He has no time for a clash with them over such nonsense like them being here. Why don't they learn not to start with a furious Odagiri Ryuu of Kurogin?
But they didn't know their lesson yet. The thugs didn't like his arrogant behavior on top of all. It irritated them that such a slender, feminine guy looked so much down on them. So the fight was impossible to avoid.
They grabbed him by the collar, but even though Ryuu punched him so hard it could count as a K.O. an other one caught him from the previous thug and shoved him hard to the ground. They kicked him with all their rage and might. Ryuu couldn't do much but to protect his head, searching for a calmer tenth of a second to stand up again to beat the shit out of them for holding him up!
Take gave him the chance as he called out his name worried and that distracted the guys attention from the redhead. Taking his opportunity, one other guy joined his friend on the ground, hardly conscious by Ryuu's punch, but then it was Ryuu who dropped to the ground.
Absolutely unconscious.
The last thing ringing in his ear was Take's panicked yelp of his name…
This is what i meant in the first chapter's comment as the TakeXRyuu part XD so far
