I don't own 07-Ghost
The next morning, Teito awoke to the awful sound of drills outside his dormitory window. They rang in his ears, as an awful wave of a headache creeped up the back of his neck. "...Fuck." He mumbled under his breath. He turned his head slowly to the side, looking at his alarm clock. Once more, he was in Mikage's bed again - the third time this week, to be exact - and it was already 11 o'clock.
Teito lazily rolled out of bed, and onto the floor, dropping to his knees and slowly making his way to a standing position. His eyes wandered around the room as he remembered that today, he was supposed to show Rosalie around. He scratched his head, and decided he should start getting ready.
As he dressed himself, he slowly came closer and closer to fulfilling his urge of opening his window to curse at the construction workers. But he kept telling himself it wasn't their fault; not only had he slept in late, but they thought that most people were gone.
I guess there was nothing he could do about it now.
Teito was brushing his teeth when he heard a knock on the door. He made his way to the doorway, his toothbrush still in his mouth, pulling his shirt over his shoulders as he turned the doorknob and mumbled a curious 'Hello?'
"Hey, Tei...to." Said the voice. It was Hakuren, Teito reassured that as he popped his head through the hole in his shirt for his head(after confusing it with the hole for his sleeve). He mumbled again, gesturing Hakuren to come in, and walked to the bathroom once more. He finished brushing his teeth, and wiped off his mouth.
"What's up?"
"I was wondering if you're busy today," Hakuren said. What was wrong with him? He seemed nervous. "Or if you could come over tonight. I just... Need someone over with me."
"What happened?" Teito asked, concern in his voice.
"Just come over, okay?" Hakuren's eyes narrowed towards the ground. They were filled with a noticeable pain. "Just... Please?"
Of course. Hakuren never talked about his problems... Teito barely knew anything about his family life. Reluctantly, as Hakuren's friend, he nodded his head. "Yeah. I'll come over around 5, okay?"
"Alright, Teito. Thank you."
The door closed silently behind Hakuren, and Teito could swear that almost for a moment, he saw tears in his purple eyes.
He bit his lip. He didn't want to go out there until Hakuren had left - Hakuren had his pride, he probably didn't want to be seen in that condition - but he still needed to meet up with Rosalie.
He waited for about five minutes, and then opened the door. A tall figure was standing there, the blonde hair very familiar - it was professor Frau. He was about to knock on the door, and instead, knocked on Teito's forehead.
Teito grumbled and heaved Frau's hand away. Frau looked over - he had been distracted by a book. "Excuse me, I was wondering if you knew where room 107 in the East building was - Oh, hey! It's the damsel from the other night."
Teito glared at him. "I'm not a female."
"And I'm not a professor."
"That wouldn't surprise me."
Frau looked at Teito coldly- which caught Teito by surprise and he flinched. It was the same look in his eyes that he had towards the group of rebellious criminals.
But then Frau broke the silence with his idiotic laughter. "Yeah, I get that alot."
Damn, so he WAS a good actor.
Frau ruffled Teito's hair. "Anyways, kid, I'm looking for room 107. East building. I was following the map that damned Castor gave me when I came in. You know; the librarian? But when I went to the building itself, it was blocked by a wall."
"Yeah, yeah," Teito replied, "I know what you're talking about. A lot of people get confused about it."
"Teito?" Another familiar sound rang in his ears.
"Good morning, Mikhail, why are you here?" Teito responded. Why WAS his brother here? Didn't he still have to pack?
"I was just wandering around. Who's HIM?"
Frau looked confused. "There's... Two of you? No, no, something's definitely different..." He took a moment to take in his surroundings, brought in a deep breath, and snapped. "Aha!"
Teito and Mikhal looked at each other, and then back at Frau, who was now pointing at Teito.
"He's girlier than the other one."
Mikhail broke out into hysterical laughter, and Teito felt his cheeks flush. "I've had about enough of you, professor Frau... I have to go do something. Mikhail, please show Frau room 107."
Mikhail questionably nodded, although Teito was sure Mikhail didn't know where it was either. Hopefully, though, when they needed help again, they'd ask someone else, like Castor. Maybe the gardener, Labrador.
Teito stormed off, and eventually cooled down, heading to Rosalie's dorm.
He knocked on the door, and heard her choir voice proclaim "It will only be a second~!" Okay, he thought. It won't be hard to wait for her, she'll only be a few minutes, right?
Dead wrong.
Rosalie took atleast an hour to finish doing... Whatever girls do in their spare time. She finally came out of her apartment. "Sorry you had to wait so long," she said, embarrassment causing her to stutter on her last syllable. "Normally it isn't hard for me to change shirts..."
Wait... She spent an hour changing shirts?
"Uh... It's fine. Anywho... What do you want to see today?"
Teito hadn't realized what he'd gotten himself into with that one, simple question. Rosalie rambled the whole trip, about her old town, but Teito found himself extremely and utterly bored. He was on the brink of complete annoyance. On and on they went, Rosalie going somewhere ahead of him, asking questions that he normally didn't hear or bother to ask because she'd change her mind and run another direction before he was given the chance. Still, it was good to get out of the house. It was a nice day, after all, Nice days don't come that often. Also, it was intoxicating to get away from the sounds of the drills that still rang in his ears slightly.
The rest of the trip went well, quiet, but well, and Teito eventually dropped Rosalie off at her door.
"Today was fun," she told him. "I hope we can do it again."
She then kissed him on the cheek, and went back to her apartment.
Teito was frozen in place in front of the doorway. He wasn't shocked from the kiss, he was shocked that he... Felt nothing of it. Most men would be ecstatic for having someone as, well... Excuse me, HOT, kissing them on the cheek, when all they'd done was practically walk around. But, no, this was different. He didn't care; why didn't he care? Why was he always like this with women?
Wooh! Silly Teito. You're a homosexual! Mostly because this is MY fan-fiction and YOU have to have any opinion I SAY! : D Hehehe. I'm sorry this update is a day later than I had promised some people. Some family things happened, and, well, I kind of rushed it. I'll have to make up for it next update.
Please review me! c: Also, if you have any ideas for this, like what is happening with Hakuren right now, feel free to tell me your idea in a review. (I was planning on basing the issue he's so upset about on what happened in the series with his mother, and how his dad refused to do anything about it. Rather than becoming a bishop, he'll become a doctor. But I still can't decide what his mother's illness should be... Aw nuts.)
And also, ladies... I'm going to try to fit in fanservice in the next chapter for Hakuren x Teito fans. ;D I'll do a separate chapter for each shipping pair, INCLUDING Mikhail. This was actually somewhat of Rosalie's, but she isn't as much of an important shipping pair as the others. She's just there to help Teito realize he's a BL uke. *ahem* I mean... Gay.
