Hey there!
First of all I really, really want to thank everyone who read this story, especially the reviewers. You can't imagine how happy I am right now!
Second, I want to apologize to you that this chapter is so short and... bad. I don't know why, but I just can't stand it... But since I finally have holidays right now, the next chapter won't take as long as this one did (and will hopefully be better, too).
Please tell me what you think about it, I'm also happy about own ideas and suggestions for this story, since it's not completely planned out yet. Also, this story still needs a beta reader so someone prevents me from uploading crappy chapters like this in the future.
Special thanks to all my reviewers!
and Teng: Ikki was just ignoring Kazu... I'm really sorry if thsi didn't come out as clear as I wanted it to be. I hope it didn't irritate you to much. Thanks for reading anyway, I was so happy to get my first review so soon and am always grateful when someone's drawing my attention to my mistakes. Won't happen ever again (hopefully)! Thanls for putting the story to your favorite list, too. =D
Ruid: Thanks for the praise! =D It's really encouraging to know someone's gonna read this story! It's people like you who keep me writing =)
misi-chan: Your English's just fine. Just look at mine xD Yes, right now it's planned that Kazu will slowly fall for Ikki... somewhen. I thought it'd be more interesting this way and am really happy to hear you think so, too. So thank you very much for reviweing and please keep reading! ^^
I also want to thank Eshadow519 for putting the stoy to the Alerts. -stalked all readers-
Now please have fun the really (short, suckish, unworthy of attention) chapter! Please review!
Chapter 2: If...
Still standing in the just opened door Agito stared shocked at the couple in front of him. At least equally shocked Kazu stared back, unable to think straight.
The second he saw Agito's gaze following Ikki's hand into his underwear, his brain finally caught up to what he was currently doing.
He wished he could have vanished off the face of the earth. Just what was he doing? Beet red in the face he gulped. Agito's aghast staring was like an accusation that slowly destroyed any other feeling inside of him. Plainly horrible.
Slightly annoyed at the unexpected disturbance Ikki raised his head out of the crook auf Kazu's neck and faced their visitor. Not in the least embarrassed he scrutinized the little blue-haired boy, withdrew his hand and ran the other through his hair casually. "What's up?", he asked in a voice that made clear to any of the attendants that he wanted to continue now if it wasn't something really important.
Still unable to finally avert his flabbergasted look Agito wordlessly opened and closed his mouth a couple of times like a fish out of water, but then something inside of him apparently made 'click'.
"Ikki! What the hell are you doing? Do you actually have an idea how Akito's feeling right now? Get out of there immediately and apologize to him! I should wring your darn neck here and now! Or better still cut off your fucking little..."
Despite Agito not seeming to stop screaming at Ikki sometime soon Kazu at this point decided not to listen anymore.
"Yea yea, 'm coming ..." Still with nothing but this annoyed look in his face the black-haired boy finally got up, slid off Kazu and slipped on his pants and a shirt. Then he shuffled out of the room not particularly enthusiastically, closely followed by Agito who apparently still had some suggestions for Ikki's early demise. Those grew slowly fainter the more the two went away.
"... and then I should let you hang out of the window by your guts and wait for the birds and maggots to corrode you and your non-existent brain! At least be grateful to Akito for keeping me off from doing that right here and now! It'd serve you right if I would ..."
Kazu could hear the frontdoor snapping shut. Agito's voice rang out only muffled and incomprehensible now. Both of them were gone.
A hand moved to his throbbing forehead. What the hell had that been just now? Why did Ikki... do something like that? Just what had happened last night?
Somewhen Agito was silent again. Finally. After an ongoing non-appearance of any kind of a certain someone's reaction he became reconciled to his curses not pulling off anything and now contented himself with staring daggers at Ikki's back, which however hadn't resulted in anything up until now. Much to his regret.
Ikki on the other hand had his own problems. Morosely gazing into space and without any actual destination in mind he just went straight forward, inwardly cursing his fate.
If just Agito hadn't come in, he'd have gotten Kazu around for sure. Just a little bit more and Kazu would have completely fallen for him, would have downright begged to be allowed to be close to him, and everything would have been perfect, but – no. They just had to get cut off. Now he'd have to explain some things to Kazu at their next encounter. And, worst of all, by then he wouldn't know what to answer.
Because he didn't know the answers to it himself.
If he'd been asked what he thought about Kazu 24 hours ago, he'd have answered with a clear conscience that he was his best friend – well, maybe he'd have phrased it a little bit different, but it would have been the truth. By now he wasn't all that sure about it anymore.
He felt the urge to ram his head against a wall. If he just hadn't drunk that much last night, he wouldn't have this motherfucking problem right now! If anything, just anything had transpired differently yesterday ...
