One-Shot: Sunako 3Kyohei

Title: His Test

o0o

This was a test.

Sunako was seated neatly between Kyohei and Ranmaru, sweating like all hell.

Her beautiful silk straps kept slipping off her shoulders as she squirmed to keep as far away from both the boys as possible. But considering that they were at a box seat in an opera, and that they were right next to her, the task was very difficult.

Why opera? Sure, this woman sings quite nicely, and sure, she understood Italian, but God… Why force her into this? They didn't make her come here because they enjoyed it. They made her because it was considered classy…

If she could just be invited to something because they liked it- because they wanted to include her… Then, she might just consider it… Without resistance.

As if on cue, Kyohei stood up, "Do you need to go to the bathroom?"

Sunako looked up, a bit surprised. Had he finally caught on to her discomfort?

Finally, she nodded timidly and took his extended arm. He had picked up on her usual discomfort, but everyone else did, too. They had just ignored it. Now, what had really bothered him was her sudden plunge in self-pity and regret. He hates when she got this way, and this time he'd really find out why.

So, the gentleman that he was, he escorted her out of the goodness of his heart.

Through the hallway they could still hear the main performers bellowing voice, muffled slightly by the closed doors.

They walked slowly, Kyohei straddling slightly behind her. First for another view of her in that elegant style, second to contemplate how he could figure out what was on her mind.

Sunako, as self-conscious as she was, realized instantly that he was directing his full attention on her, and immediately all the hairs on her body stood on end.

Soon he realized that she knew he was staring at her, and he became self-conscious.

And the awkwardness settled itself around them.

Simultaneously, they tried to break it… That, ah… This wasn't going very smoothly.

"Why don't you like doing these things?" Kyohei blurted out in frustration.

Sunako, picking up on this sudden mood swing, felt personally attacked, "Why don't you?!"

Instantly, he recognized his tone. Mentally cursing himself, and trying to set amends at the same time, he raised his hands in apology while displaying a very droopy expression.

Sunako looked at him, and was instantly struck with a fit of giggles. Her voice came out in sexy huffs. What were they doing? Testing each other's mental states?

Kyohei blushed, then chuckled, then sighed, "Listen, all I meant was… Can you stop laughing?" He gently placed his hand on the small of his back. He actually was happy she wasn't sad anymore… But her had a feeling that what he wanted to ask would plunge her right back into that mood. So he decided against it. He decided to keep her smiling. He chose to wait for another day when he could find out what's in her head at times when he worries.

Sunako looked up at him, trying her best to look serious, she stared him straight in the eyes.

Then he smiled sweetly at her. Quickly, he flared his nostrils, crossed his eyes, and jut out his lower jaw.

And this was a test I believe he had passed.

Short, pointless, I know this!

I wrote it within the hour I had access to my mom's computer.

But these are the stories that help me with writers block, and keep the faith among my lovely reviewers.

I promise, I will have Letters up soon. I just got a new router, just need to work out some kinks.

Okay, review. And always,

Later Days,
