Impersonations ch.8
"Hey Rin."
Rin jumped nearly a foot from his seat on the floor when Yukio greeted him. He made a pained expression and then gave a big fake smile.
"H-Hey Yukio!" He said louder than he meant to. Yukio just rose a brow and made a puzzled face.
"Spaz." He muttered as he walked pass him.
"I'm going to talk to Mephisto about changing us back. I really don't trust Shura with my class for so long. So I'm heading out now. We need to switch ba-"
"No!"
Yukio was stunned as he realized Rin was hanging on his pants, looking up at him with that same pained expression. Yukio just looked even more puzzled.
"I-I mean... I don't want you to go just yet... I-I made dinner!"
Yeah after you jacked o-MROW!
Rin hit his familiar knowing he was going to say something rude even though he couldn't understand but he knew Yukio would hear whatever he was saying.
Yukio just looked even more puzzled.
"Ok... I'll eat and then I'll go." He said awkwardly as he made his way to the kitchen. Once Yukio was out of sight and earshot Rin grabbed the cat by the neck angrily and sat him out the window, shutting it. The cat just smirked and began to lick at his paws. Damn cat...
They sat at the table eating in an awkward silence. Rin was just picking at his food because he wasn't really hungry, he had ate already but just wanted to be in Yukio's company.
"Rin are you feeling alright?"
"Uh... y-yeah."
His eyes had a bit of crazy in them. Maybe I should prescribe him some adhd medication, he needs something to calm him down. He thought about when they were younger. Rin did used to take medication for like a month for his behavior but after seeing how it toned him down too much to a point where he was tired all the time Shiro was against it and made him stop taking it. Yukio smiled at the memory knowing if he mentioned it now Rin would deny it and say he didn't remember. I don't need those stupid drugs! He had stated loudly. Yukio smiled at the memory. Rin could never sit still.
Yukio finished eating and stood..
"Well I'm going to talk to Mephisto so I'll be back."
"Wait!" Rin shouted as he turned to leave.
"What?"
Rin choked up. TELL HIM YOU IDIOT! Yukio's expression became annoyed at his behavior.
"Well?"
"I-I..."
"Look Rin if you've got nothing to say then I'll see you later alright? I'll only be gone for a short while."
But to me it will feel like forever...
"Ok. See you." He hung his head a bit. Yukio just ignored him and left.
GOD DAMMIT! What's wrong with you? You know what you want to say. Just ask him about what he was doing in the shower! I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding. He told himself, Just a really big misunderstanding.
Yukio still had a puzzled expression on his face as he walked toward Mephisto's office. What's wrong with him? Maybe Rin should start taking that medicine again.
"Rin-chan!" He heard Shiemi's voice call out from behind him. He sighed. He was really tired and didn't feel like having to put on a hyper facade at the moment. But he turned with a smile anyway.
"Shiemi-san, how's it going?"
They stopped for a moment as she was panting from running.
"Why aren't you at home? Cram school should have been over hours ago."
"Yes I know. I was hanging with Kamiki." She smiled brightly.
"Oh that's good that you too are getting along." He turned to continue walking until he felt a hand on his arm.
"And... I wanted to see you Rin. We haven't spoken in a long time. Are you alright?" She looked at him with a genuinely concerned look.
"Oh sorry... you know... sick." He gave a nervous smile.
"Where are you headed?" Her big green eyes flickered in curiosity.
"Oh I have to talk to Mephisto about me and Ri-Yukio's absences." He mentally slapped himself for such a careless mistake.
"Sooooo, How are things going with you and Yukio?" Her tone was very gossipy. What does she mean?
"What do you mean?"
She looked puzzled.
"Have you told him yet?"
"Told who what?"
Her face fell and she brought a hand up to his forehead.
"Maybe you should go back to bed?"
He didn't have a fever. He was sure of that.
"Well what has Ri- I told you concerning Yukio?" He faked a puzzled expression.
"Well... you know." She started blushing and fidgeting with her kimono.
"I know I do, I just... forgot. You know being sick and everything. ha ha." Oh god. Maybe Suguro was right. Rin's stupidity is contagious.
"Shiemi, can we talk?"
"Yes! Of course!" She said as they walked away from cram school together. She looked at his bright blue eyes and saw he had a serious expression that was rare to see.
"Is something wrong?"
"Well... it's just I like someone I shouldn't..."
She stared ahead with a thoughtful expression, waiting for him to finish.
"Well first of all... it's a guy."
He was a little offended that Shiemi didn't seem surprised. He didn't come off as gay or bi! Did he?
There was more silence.
"Well who is it?"
He stopped and she turned around to face him after she realized he was behind her. He took her hands in his and was staring at the ground.
"Well... Just promise me something."
"O-ok?"
"It's..." All she heard was mumbling.
"I didn't hear you Rin."
"It's... Yukio." She saw tears in his eyes and hugged him tight.
"That's ok Rin."
He was stunned.
"You're not... Grossed out that I'm in love with my twin?"
"Nope. Yukio is very cute and I see the way you look at him. That's alright. You can't help who you love."
"Your awesome, Shiemi."
Yukio watched far off from a distance and felt a pang off pain.
He remembered that day. He remembered the hands being held. The embrace they shared. He thought that day they were doing something completely different.
"And that's what happened 2 months ago. Don't you remember?"
She noticed his shocked, pained expression.
"Rin what's wrong?"
"Nothing... I gotta go talk to Mephisto... bye." Even as he walked away it was like he was in a trance.
It's... Yukio. The words echoed in his brain and bounced around in his skull.
Rin...
