Monkey: I own nothing!
Jehu and Haou walked in silence to Jehu's house. The gray clouds above them gave Haou a bad feeling. As usual, he didn't say anything to Jehu.
"Haou, are you alright?" Jehu asked, stopping in front of him.
"I'm fine." Haou averted his gold eyes elsewhere from the bluenette in front of him. He made to walk past him.
"No you're not, you've been acting weird for a while now, what's been going on?" Jehu insisted, blocking Haou's way.
Light drops of water began to fall around them.
"Let's just go inside before we get wet." Haou said, making his way past Jehu.
Jehu frowned. "Haou, what are you afraid of?"
Haou stopped walking. "I'm not afraid." His back was to Jehu, and he refused to turn around.
Jehu sighed quietly and walked past Haou. "…Let's go then."
Haou looked up and raised a brow. Shaking his head, he followed.
"Haou…"
"What?"
Jehu turned around. "Huh?"
"You called my name," Haou said.
Jehu raised a brow. "No I didn't."
"Haou…"
The two toned brunette blinked. Jehu's lips hadn't moved. So it wasn't him…?
"Haou?" Jehu asked.
Blinking, the brunette shook his head. "It's raining harder now, let's hurry."
Nodding, they picked up the pace and made it to Jehu's house within the next five minutes.
Haou looked around the surprisingly clean house.
"Something wrong?" Jehu asked, coming up behind him.
"No, just didn't expect your house to be clean."
Jehu shrugged. "I gotta live in it, so I may as well be able to see the ground. Anyway, I'm gonna crash early today. I ran more than usual during school and I'm dead tired. You wanna take the guest room or," Jehu smirked, "come into my room with me?"
Haou rolled his eyes. "Guest room, thanks."
"Suit yourself. But if you're ever scared at night, feel free to come to me."
"You wish." Haou looked away and began to walk up the stairs, doing well in hiding the nearly invisible blush on his cheeks.
Jehu chuckled a bit. Time to put his plan into action. Sure, it was a little crazy and he already knew most of his stunts wouldn't work, but hey, it was worth a shot.
Besides, this seemed like fun.
---
Haou lay on the guest room bed, staring up at the gray ceiling with a thoughtful expression.
What the hell was going on??
Why was all this weird shit happening to him all of a sudden??
And if Jehu wasn't the one who had been calling his name, does that mean that he has nothing to do with what's going on?
Jehu knocked on the door. "Hey Haou, get out here real quick."
Haou sat up and opened the door. "What? Shouldn't you be sleeping?"
Jehu held an empty fish tank in his hands. "Get out of the room real quick, I lost my tarantula and I don't know where it's at. I don't want you to accidentally kill it or something."
Haou stared at him. "You have a pet tarantula?"
Jehu nodded.
"You never told me that."
The bluenette shrugged. "You never asked. 'Sides, it seems like you don't care most of the time." Jehu stepped into the room after Haou stepped out. He set down the tank and got on his knees by the bed to look underneath it.
Haou watched him search. "…I do care…"
Jehu looked back at him. He smiled. "I know. I just wish you'd be more open about it."
Haou felt something fall on his head.
Jehu blinked a couple times.
Haou made to smack whatever fell on his head off, but Jehu quickly jumped up.
"No don't!"
Haou blinked and stopped. "What?"
"…My tarantula's on your head."
Haou looked up and he could see part of the spider on top of his head.
Surprisingly to Jehu, Haou stayed perfectly calm. He didn't freak out or anything.
"Well?" Haou asked.
"Huh?"
"Are you going to get it off? I don't know how to hold a tarantula; I don't want it to kill me or something." Haou said.
Jehu laughed. "Most tarantulas are harmless." He carefully picked up the tarantula and held it out for Haou to see.
"It's ugly." Haou stated.
Jehu shrugged. "His name is Jun."
"It's still ugly."
Jehu placed Jun back into the empty fish tank. Jun walked around in it while Haou eyed it. Jehu grinned and left.
Plan A: Failed. Looks like he didn't have arachnophobia.
But there were more plans he had in store for Haou.
---
An hour later, Haou made his way out of the guest room and went down the stairs. He was hungry and figured Jehu wouldn't mind if he ate his food.
It was dark out by now, but Haou didn't bother turning on any lights.
He stepped into the kitchen and slipped backwards, but caught himself with the wall before his ass hit the ground.
"What the…?" He stood up and turned on the kitchen lights and saw the floor was covered in blood, the metallic scent strong. "Jehu!"
In less than a minute, the bluenette raced down the stairs. "Haou? What's wrong??"
He stopped when he reached the kitchen. Jehu stared at the blood on the ground. He looked at Haou.
"Nice Haou, but I thought you only played these kinds of stunts on Halloween?"
Haou blinked. "I didn't do this!"
Jehu stared at him. "I didn't either. I've been sleeping."
Haou frowned. "I don't want to carry the blood onto your carpet, how do I get out?"
"It's real blood?" Jehu raised a brow.
Haou shrugged. "It smells like it."
Jehu sighed. "Take off your shoes."
The brunette blinked. "I always figured that if you were to start a sentence with "take off your", it would end with clothes, not shoes."
Jehu smirked. "Any other time, it would be. Just loosen up your shoes a bit."
Haou did so. Jehu reached out and took Haou's hand. He easily lifted up the brunette and took him into his arms, leaving his shoes behind in the blood. Haou stared up at Jehu's amber eyes.
"Put me down." Haou ordered.
Jehu shook his head. "No way. The last thing I need is for you to overflow my house with more 'blood.'"
Haou frowned. "I'm hungry. It's the reason I came down here."
"I'll make you something after I finish cleaning up then." Shifting Haou a bit, Jehu walked back up the stairs, carrying Haou in his arms.
"If you tell anyone about this—" Haou began.
Jehu kissed him. "Our little secret."
He set him down on the guest room bed and went back down the stairs.
"Stupid." Haou mumbled.
Jehu shook his head at the sight of the 'blood.' Man, I thought I was supposed to be the one to scare him, not the other way around. Where did he even get all this blood from?
Going to find a mop, he began to clean up.
Guess scaring Haou and sleeping would have to wait.
---
As if having this creepy shit happen to him at home wasn't enough, now it also had to happen to him here. But this time, Jehu had to be lying. There was no way that blood found its way into the house like that without someone doing it.
He looked over at the tray by his bed. Jehu had made him some fried shrimp and brought it up for him. It was surprisingly good. The least Haou could do was wash the dishes.
Picking the up the tray and careful not to drop the plate or glass on it, he walked out of his room and made his way down the stairs.
I seem to be doing this a lot, Haou thought. He walked into the kitchen after turning on the lights and noticed that it was blood free.
"Haou…"
That voice seemed to be coming from outside the house.
"Jehu?" the brunette called, looking around for any tell-tale signs that it was his boyfriend.
Nothing. Maybe Jehu really was sleeping.
Setting the stuff down in the sink, Haou walked out of the kitchen, making sure to turn off the lights.
---
Jehu yawned. He was too tired to do anything to Haou tonight. At least he managed to test out the spider theory.
He heard Haou walk down the stairs and sighed.
I knew it was him. Jehu sat up and walked to his door. He can't just take revenge like a normal person, he has to fight back. Jehu smirked. But that's what I like about him.
---
Haou narrowed his eyes. Someone was playing a joke on him and it wasn't funny. He would never admit it, but he was getting a little scared and creeped out.
Blood everywhere, hearing things, seeing things… maybe he was just going insane.
In that case, I blame it all on Jehu.
His hand gripped the doorknob.
"Haou…"
He opened the door into the darkness and gasped at what he saw.
