Howdy, ya'll! Um...yeah...right. On with the story then!
Polaris18: Heh, maybe they didn't lock it all that well. O.O...no slapping my Kanone! It's not his fault you stayed up late. Besides, you got to bed earlier than the rest of us. Thanks for reviewing!
Red Kitsune Flames: Ha! Pansy! (cough) Hehehe...I've thought of several things for Kanone to do. Hmm...which to go for. I guess we'll find out. Thanks for reviewing!
tsuhiyo: Hehehe...he might...that depends on what you imagine him doing. Hey, if you were Kanone, wouldn't you want to see Eyes without anything on? I would! Thanks for reviewing!
Solo Maxwell-Yamato: Lol, because I love the Grinch! Heh, I did that just for you. Hehehehe...you really don't like my Kanone, do you? It's very odd loving me and despising Kanone. I actually didn't know it was possible. Thanks for reviewing!

Blue orbs glared at Kanone, "What are you doing here?"
The other boy smiled, a hint of malice mixed in, "Just checking up on old friends." he said, "And what have you been up to?" He cast a glance to Eyes' leg that was peeking out from under the blankets, "Having fun, I see."
Eyes didn't move to cover himself up any, it wasn't as if Kanone had never seen him before, and he knew the older one wouldn't try anything, "My personal life is none of your business. Not anymore."
Kanone approached the bed, where Eyes had yet to do as much as sit up, and took a seat on the edge, "Tell me, are you truly happy with that...boy?"
Those same eyes narrowed at the term, "He's no more of a child than you are." he informed the older one, "If you have a purpose here, state it."
"I already told you. I'm simply checking up on you." he said, frowning a little, "I don't have any other intentions..." he trailed off, tracing a finger up Eyes' leg, smiling faintly.
The silver-haired boy shifted away a little as the finger moved up to his thigh on under the covered parts of his body, "Stop." he ordered, a little nervously, though he'd never show it. He knew that if Kanone really wanted to, he could easily overpower him.
Kanone grinned and affectionately rubbed the smooth skin, "Why so nervous, dear? You certainly don't think I'd ever hurt you, do you?" A glare was his only response, to which he laughed a little, "Well, despite your paranoia, I have no intention of harming you directly."
Eyes caught the last word, and looked at Kanone, "Leave Ayumu out of this." he said, "He's done nothing wrong."
A brown head shook at these words, "I beg to differ, dear. Whether you admit it or not, he is the reason we're no longer together."
"The reason we're no longer together is because you're overprotective." Eyes informed his ex, "And a little creepy." he added in his head. To tell the truth, that had been something he'd always liked about Kanone, but now it wasn't so great.
"I'm overprotective because I think my boyfriend is cheating on me?"
"No, you're overprotective because, despite numerous assurances that it wasn't true, you continued to believe that I was cheating on you, and then proceeded to go and attack the one you assumed I was cheating on you with."
Kanone hesitated, mostly because the younger one hadn't spoken one falsity in his claims. He shook that off, and smiled at Eyes, "Perhaps so, but it was only because I love you."
The silver-haired boy hid the wince he felt coming on at the tense of the verb. Kanone had said 'love', not 'loved'. That meant he was still hung up on it, and hadn't simply come here to feel Eyes up and apologize. It meant he still had other motives, and Eyes was afraid he knew what they were all too well, "Do you really think it's healthy to be like this?" he wondered, "Obssessing over something you've already lost and have no hope of regaining?"
The question angered Kanone, "Who says I have no hope of regaining you?" he demanded, ready and willing to put an end to whomever's life he needed to to make that claim false.
"I did." Of course, those plans of simply killing someone to solve his problems dissipated with those two words.
The brunette sighed, standing up, not overlooking the small flinch it elicited from the boy still in bed. The fear brought a tiny, sick smile to his face, "I told you, you needn't fear me, Eyes. I'm not going to do anything to bring harm to you."
"Then you have no business with neither Ayumu nor I." came the cold reply.
Kanone's olive orbs faltered just a bit, "Whatever." he said, turning and exiting the room as quickly as he had entered. Eyes only relaxed when he heard the front door slip shut, and promptly pulled out his cellphone, dialing Ayumu's number.
"Where is it?" Ayumu growled slightly, leaning over his bed and looking under it, "I know I put it here somewhere..."
"Ayumu! Your phone is ringing!" Madoka informed him from the living room.
"Then answer it." the boy suggested, about to give up in his search, "I can always tell her I just wore it out." he thought, shaking his head, "Then she'd buy me a new one." he shuttered at the thought and stayed silent, listening to Madoka's conversation with whoever decided it was s fun idea to call him when he was packing.
"He's busy right now." Madoka said, "I'll tell him you called, though."
"Wai-" Before Eyes could stop her from hanging up, the line went dead. He sighed in annoyance and redialed the number only to recieve no answer, "Bloody woman." he muttered, wondering why she was answer Ayumu's phone in the first place.
"Who was it?" the brunette wondered, coming out of his room with two, small boxes packed full of stuff.
Madoka tilted her head to the side, "It was your boyfriend..." she said, smirking as she did so, "He seemed kind of mad that I said you were busy."
"Huh? What did he say?"
She shook her head, "Nothing at all, but I could just tell...it felt like he was glaring at me through the phone."
Ayumu chuckled at this, "Yeah, that's Eyes." he said, shaking his head.
She handed him his phone, "Well, here, I'm going to start taking stuff out to the car."
"Alright." he agreed and flipped open his phone to call Eyes back.
Outside, Madoka finished loading the boxes of things into the back of the car, "I didn't know we had so much...crap." she thought, shutting the door. She glanced up and jumped a little at the boy before her, "Wh-what are y-you..."
Kanone grinned at her, "Hello, my dear, lovely day, isn't it?"
The older woman backed up a step, keeping her eyes trained on Kanone, "It looks like it's about to rain..." she thought, "How is this considered nice?"
The brunette laughed at the woman's nervousness, "You needn't worry about me, I'm not here for you." he assured her, "I don't suppose the man of the house is in...or at least his brother?" Another laugh sounded at this.
"Leave Ayumu alone." she demanded, "It's not his fault you're a jealous, pathetic little boy."
If the boy they had been talking about right at that moment hadn't come out of his old apartment, Kanone may have just killed Madoka for that comment. Fortunately for the latter, her brother-in-law emerged at that moment, glaring at the boy he knew would be there, "What are you doing here, Kanone?"
Said boy frowned at the question, "You know, people keep asking me that..." he thought about it for a moment, "I have no idea why."
"Maybe because no one wants you around." the other boy suggested in his head, but didn't voice that opinion, "Get to the point. Why are you here?"
Kanone approached Ayumu, smiling slightly, hands in his pockets, "Well, you see..." he came to a stop in front of the chocolate-haired boy, "I need a favor of you."
The fact that Kanone would ask anything of the non-Blade Child was enough to put Ayumu on guard, "Favor?"
"Yes, a favor." Kanone repeated, "Something that I want you to do for me."
"Why would I do anything for you?" he wondered, "You've given me no reason to do anything for you."
Kanone smiled, way too cheerfully, "Because, if you don't, then I'll have to kill you." he said, matter-of-factly.
Ayumu glared, but realized that he was probably serious, "What kind of favor?"

Hmm...what could Kanone want from Ayumu? And, no, it's not 'break up with Eyes'. I'm not that unoriginal! Anyway...review!
