Burn and gazelle were at the counter where all the cups were. Burn poured a glass of water and handed it to gazelle.

"Here you go." Gazelle took the glass and sip a few sips.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

There was an awkward silence in the kitchen. Either of them spoke. That's because they both did not have a topic to talk about. Both teens just stood there each sipping a sip of water. Burn could not deal with silence. He was just about to speak when, gazelle turn around and walked to the sink. He washed the cup, turned off the tap and walked back.

Somehow, as gazelle was washing the cup. Some drops of water dripped on to the floor. Gazelle slipped. Burn dashed towards him and caught him by the waist. Teal eyes meet yellow ones. Gazelle stared at burn's yellow eyes. He did not know why. He started to get hypnotized by those pupils. Gazelle started blushing gright red and his tail wrapped around his waist.

"Hey, you ok?" Burn asked.

"h-h-huh?" gazelle was cut off and stared at burn. Suddenly, he pictured the position he and burn were and quickly got away.

"g-g-gomen!" he apologized. The blush still there. Gazelle turned his body away from burn. Not wanting him to see his blush. He covered his face with his left hand.

"It's ok." Burn replied.

Why can't the temperature go down! Why! Why! Why! Gazelle asked himself. He cursed this human hormones that was affecting him. Dam you human DNA! He cursed again.

"hey, you ok?" burn asked, with a concern look on his face and tone in his voice. Gazelle's blush turned redder and redder. H-h-hey! Stop it!

"a-a-uhm...y-y-yea..." gazelle stuttered.

"why are you-?" Gazelle turned around and spatted.

"Could you stop asking questions! Do you know how annoying you are!" gazelle did not actually wanted to scold burn. He was just mad at his hormones. Burn stared at gazelle wide-eyed. Never in his entire life did he make a person sooo mad, but today, yes. It was gazelle. Gazelle wide-eyed. He covered his mouth using his hands and back away.

"i-i'm soo sorry." With that, he ran away. With a tear stricken face.

Burn just stood there staring at the spot where gazelle just stood. Unknown to burn and gazelle. A guy who looks just like gazelle and a boy who burn always nickname him "pepper" watched the whole entire scene. They giggled. Boy, would burn and gazelle have a hard time.


Gazelle was running down the hallway. He could slightly hear people calling him back. Was it burn? He did not know. Gazelle just want to be alone. Gazelle felt really sorry. He did not mean to scold burn. It was just an accident. He was mad at his hormones, not burn. Gazelle have this feeling to run back to burn and apologize, but this might not be so easy. Knowing that his blush would appear.

Gazelle slamed his door behind him. Stomped to his bed, but slipped and landed on the floor.

"itai!" He mourned, rubbing his back. The room was still messy as just now. However, most of the stuffs were cleared as the work were done. Gazelle stood up, cursing his bad luck. First, his did not get to have a bath, Nepper and heat disappeared as he chased them. He scolded burn for no reason and now, he slipped and fell. Could things get any worst.

Gazelle threw himself on his bed and went to sleep. Hoping this could relieve him of his anger. Luckily, luck was finally on his side when his eyes closed shut and he was on his way to dream land.


It was past mid-night. Burn was walking down the hallway. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. He was really tired. He really wanted to sleep, however, those nightmares of gazelle scolding him causing him to be wide awake. Once his eyes were shut, a clip of gazelle scolding him at the kitchen flashed acrossed his mind. He did not want to see it, but he did not do anything wrong.

You're annoying burn! A clip of gazelle yelling at him appeared out of nowhere in burn's mind. He jumped. Not expecting that to appear. Gazelle was disagreeing with burn. Maybe, I've really did something wrong. But, what? Burn questioned himself.

Slowly he recalled the whole kitchen scenario. There, burn and gazelle were. Sipping their drinks. Not looking at the other parties eyes. Then, gazelle turned towards the basin and washes the cup. He turned off the tap, turned and walked back to wear he was stand before, but he slipped and burn caught him in his arms. The neko-mini blushed bright red.

He stood up and turned his body away. Burn questioned gazelle. Of course, when a question has been asked. There would be answer. Gazelle stuttered. Still not turning back. Burn, worried asked if gazelle was alright. However, gazelle suddenly became mad and scolded burn. Burn stopped imageing. He found out what gazelle was mad about.

Why was he so frustrated at me? I only asked three questions. Burn eyes softened. Maybe he doesn't like people asking too many questions. Maybe three questions were too many that he thinks it's annoying. But that was only three! Anyway, I have to apologize. I did made him angry.

Burn walked and stood in front of gazelle's room front door. He knocked on it once, twice, thrice. Maybe he's asleep. No, I have to wake him up. I need to apologize. If not, i'll forget it and gazelle will hate me for the rest of my life. Burn banged the door. Mutiple-times. In this kind of baning. People would wake up and complaint about it. Maybe even the neighbours.

A light click was heard and the door knob turned. The door was swung opened. Gazelle stood there, with a really messy hair. His eyes could not be seen, cause of his front hair, but burn could feel the anger bottle up and ready to be fired.

"What do you want burn?" Gazelle asked the redhead in an annoyed voice. He lifted his head up to look at burn. Burn could feel himself sweating. Never, never and I mean never have burn ever apologized to anyone. Mostly, if would be the person apologizing to him. Even if it's his fault.

Burn mustered the courage and straighten his posture. He stared at gazelle with confidence in his eyes and said.

"I'm sorry!" gazelle's eyes turned wide-eyed. Did he heard correctly? Mr tulip-san just apologized to him. Gazelle gave himself a mental note to remind himself that he really have to dig his ears more often as that can't be burn. Well, to bad for you gazelle. What you did not want just happened and you just have to accept it.

Burn wondered if gazelle did hear him. The sliver-haired teen was just standing there like a statue ,staring blanking into space and jaw-drop.

"hey?" Burn snapped his fingers in front of gazelle. That made him snapped out of his thoughts, "You're staring blanking into space and-"

"Stop asking so many questions! You're annoying you know that!" Gazelle yelled. This time. It was on purpose. What happened today was not burn's fault. Therefore, burn's apologie was not needed. It was gazelle's. He should be the one who needs to apologize. Gazelle bended down his head. His eyes covered by his hair. He mumbled to himself, but a certain tulip-head heard it.

"it was not you fault...it was mine...I should be the one saying sorry." Burn sighed. This was going nowhere. He cupped gazelle's flushed cheeks and said.

"alright, you've apologized, I've apologized. Now we're even ok?" He grined. Gazelle stared at burn again. Unable to believe what burn just said. He's forgiving him!

"hey, don't stare at me again. It feels weird." Burn told gazelle. The neko-mini got back to earth, blinked and smiled.

"alright, burn!" The slient was there again. However, there was a happy sensation in between the two. Both teens stared into each other's orbs. Getting hynotized by it. Either of them want to go back to bed. They enjoy the company of their partner, but this have to come to an end when clara opened her bedroom door and find herself interupting.

"ah...g-gomenosai! Burn-sama! Gazelle-sama!" clara said as she bowed. Cursing to herself and her stupid thirst. Basically, she wanted to quent her thirst but found herself interupting a love couple staring moment. Burn struged and looked back at gazelle.

"ja. I've got to bed."

"y-yea. M-me too."

"night." They said together at the same time. First a shock and then a smile. Burn turn around and walked back to his room.

"Gazelle-sama! I'm so sorry! I just wanted to get myself a drink and..." These words were not heard by gazelle. He was busy looking at down the hallway. He felt something strange happening in his stomach. Slowly, his tail coiled around his waist. His heart beat increased and gazelle started blushing.

Clara noticed the blush. She knew that gazelle actually was crushing on burn. However, she could not explain the tail. She remembered about today. When gazelle was really mad at nepper and heat. His tail started waving up and down. Like a whip. So as on the day gazelle was adopted. After accomplishing making the girls agreeing wiht the boys. Gazelle smiled and his tail waved side to side. Clara thought of telling the rest tomorrow during breakfast.
