The past few days have seemed to be the same as the first. Edo continued to insist on taking care of that damned thing, and was doing a very good job of it while Ryo was just left to sulk, get annoyed, and feel jealous.
Edo smiled at Destiny who was in his arms, adjusting a white and black headband that he had put on her head. "I think we're going to get an A for this project." Edo said, looking up at his boyfriend. "With the way I'm taking care of her, there's no way we'll fail!" Ryo rolled his eyes, "I still don't get you." He said blankly, folding his arms. "You're just TOO into this damn project. And the only reason you gave me for it is that you don't want to fail."
Edo didn't even look at Ryo as he pulled Destiny's dress down a bit, fixing it so it would fit her small mechanical body just right. "Well I don't want to fail. Isn't that a good enough reason?" Ryo sighed, "No. It's not. Edo, you NEVER care about projects. You're already a PHD and you're only in school now because you're bored and need something to do during the day. When teachers give you projects or homework you never do it, you just talk your way out of it and the teachers pass you anyway. Then you go off and we fuck until you pass out."
Edo gave Ryo the blankest look he could manage, "You just wish that last part would happen. But anyway, I told you; this project is different." Ryo scowled, "You got that right…it's stupider than the others. It's annoying and a bigger waste of time. I hate it." Edo just placed Destiny down onto a couch pillow, patting her on the head. "I know you do…you made that clear enough to me already."
Ryo looked at the "baby" lying on the couch and then at Edo. "…You like that 'baby' more than me, don't you?" Edo paused and his eyes slowly widened giving Ryo a completely appalled face, "What?!" Ryo stood up and threw his arms into the air angrily, "You heard me!! All week you barely paid attention to me at all. It's just Destiny, Destiny, Destiny!! THAT'S IT!!"
Edo was silent before a small smile slowly appeared on his face. Then a giggle was heard and before Ryo had the chance to say anything else Edo was laughing and pointing at his bluenette boyfriend. "I get it now!" Edo said between giggles, "You're jealous, Ryo-kun!! You think that I'd rather take care of Destiny than spend time with you!!" Ryo glared angrily, "I am NOT jealous!! Why the hell would I be jealous of some stupid mechanical THING!?"
Edo stuck his tongue out playfully, "Well why are you getting so defensive, then? If you're not jealous I don't think you'd get angry at all. You wouldn't have even brought any of this up!! But the fact that you are…well…" He couldn't help but giggle again, "Yeah, you're definitely jealous." Ryo felt really angry now, "I'M NOT JEALOUS OF THAT STUPID MECHANICAL BABY!! IN FACT I'M—" Ryo's words were interrupted by Destiny's sudden cries. Edo picked the "baby" up into his arms, "Hold that thought…" He said as he reached to get the keys. "Let me just make her stop crying…"
Ryo's jaw dropped. Once again he was pushed aside for the stupid mechanical baby. They couldn't even FIGHT properly anymore without Destiny interrupting!! As Edo used the "food" and "burp" key combination to make Destiny's cries stop, he looked back up at Ryo with a smile. "So what were we talking about again?" He asked, his voice innocent. "I don't remember…"
Ryo could do nothing but stare. Edo didn't even REMEMBER what their fight was about!! Things could not be clearer for the bluenette at this point. In his mind it had became official. Destiny was more important to Edo than Ryo. "…I see how it is." Ryo said, looking away. "And that's just fine. I don't care anyway. I won't bother you anymore." Edo blinked at Ryo several times before speaking. "Wait…are you being serious?" He asked, "Ryo, c'mon!! It's a mechanical baby for school! You're being stupid!!"
Ryo glared, "I'm not being stupid!! I'm not going to just stand around here doing nothing and watch you obsess over that stupid THING!" Edo also stood up after putting Destiny down, glaring right back at Ryo. "Kaiser Ryo Marufuji!! Be mature!! You're fucking nineteen years old!! You should NOT be jealous over a fucking project that we have for school!!" Ryo raised his voice further, "I'm NOT jealous and I AM being mature!! I'm just fed up with this whole thing and I can't take it anymore!!" Edo placed his hands on his hips, "You're just being an idiot!! You're a stupid, jeal--" Edo was unable to finish his sentence, however, because just then he started to wobble a bit in his place.
Ryo's expression softened as he looked at his lover with slight concern, "Edo-chan…?" He asked, as Edo leaned against the wall for support. Edo shook his head and smiled weakly, "It's nothing…I'm just a little weak, that's all." Not wanting to just leave this as nothing, Ryo put his arm around the silver-haired teen to support him. He then leaned in, resting his forehead against Edo's to cheek his temperature. "No fever…" He mumbled as he looked at Edo closely. Edo didn't look sick, his face wasn't flushed and his eyes had that usual glistening fire in them. It was then that Ryo realized what had to be wrong.
Edo had been trying his hardest to take care of this "baby" for the past few days now. And because of that annoying mechanical child's habit of crying in the middle of the night, Edo wasn't getting that much sleep, either. Not enough sleep several nights in a row wasn't good for any person, even someone as strong-willed as Edo Phoenix. If Edo didn't start resting properly then he eventually would get sick and that was the last thing Ryo wanted.
He sighed and fixed the pillows on the couch and then gently helped Edo so he could get comfortable. He fluffed the pillow behind Edo's head and smiled, brushing a strand of hair out of Edo's face as he kissed him on the forehead. "Just…go to sleep, okay?" Ryo said softly, "A nice long nap will make you feel a lot better." Edo couldn't help but smile lightly at Ryo's kindness, but he didn't feel very convinced. "Are you sure?" He asked, "What about Destiny…?" Ryo's face just remained blank at hearing this and he shook his head. "Don't worry about Destiny…she'll…be just fine. Okay? Now go to sleep and I don't want to hear any more complaining."
Edo laughed slightly as his sapphire eyes slowly fluttered shut. "Thank you…Ryo-kun…" His words trailed off as he slowly drifted off to sleep.
Ryo smiled. He always had thought Edo looked beautiful when he was sleeping. He'd look so peaceful and calm; adorable and even innocent. Ryo would make sure to stay quiet this whole time…he didn't want to make any sudden sounds that could possibly wake Edo up. Edo needed to rest and that's what Ryo would make sure that he did.
However, it was apparent that Destiny had other plans. Because right at that very moment she began to cry, a sound that seemed to be louder than any of the other times before. Ryo twitched as he looked at the "baby" who Ryo had quietly discarded onto the floor without Edo noticing when he set up the couch for the boy. Sh-shit!! He thought to himself as he picked up the "baby" by the leg. "Shut up! Edo-chan's sleeping!" Ryo whispered as if his talking would've been louder than Destiny's crying anyway.
"Nngh…" Ryo looked over at Edo. Edo was making a slight face in his sleep as he moved, a sign that showed Ryo that he was hearing Destiny's cries and was probably going to wake up in the next few minutes. N-no…I can't let him wake up!! He needs rest, I don't want Edo to end up getting sick!!! He held Destiny slightly closer and placed a hand over her mouth. The crying didn't stop or even get quieter. …Well that was stupid, Ryo, it's not a real kid… Ryo shook his head when he saw out of the corner of his eye, Edo moving again. Fuck he's going to wake up…I have to be a good boyfriend, I have to make sure he doesn't…
As quickly as he could he rushed out of the room, running up the stairs and into he and Edo's bedroom. He then threw Destiny onto the bed, pulling the covers over her as well as throwing pillow after pillow onto her to drown out the sound. Soon there was nothing but small muffled cries, that could still be heard but not unless you walked into the room and listened very carefully. Edo's sleeping would be saved…for now at least.
Ryo sighed a sigh of relief. "I did it…" He whispered to himself, "Now Edo could continue to sleep and it's all thanks to me." He smiled a satisfactory smile to himself as he sat up onto the bed. The crying continued. Ryo glanced over at the pile of pillows that was covering the poor neglected "baby". Damn…that thing could really cry for a while. He continued staring, I wonder how long it'll take before it stops…
Ryo sighed again as he continued to sit there. Deciding that he would just wait the crying out instead of doing anything about it. But it continued, bringing up Ryo's annoyance as well as slight guilt that was beginning to form. When this thing stops crying…Edo will never even know that it was crying in the first place. But when we bring that "baby" back to our teacher we won't get the highest grade and that's how Edo will find out what happened because he's been doing everything perfectly. Then he'll know that it was my fault and we'll fight again. We always fight anyway and it turns me on when he yells at me, but…
Ryo found himself starting to remove pillows and blankets from the pile as he freed Destiny, picking her up into his arms. …Then I'll feel bad. I let Edo go to sleep and I'm not even taking care of this damn thing. It's not the end of the world, but…Edo won't be happy. His eyes narrowed as he stared at Destiny, Damn this seme business…I have to make sure Edo's happy no matter what. Without thinking into it any further, the keys were pulled out and he stared at them blankly. Let's see… He thought to himself, Destiny just got done eating and Edo already burped her so now she probably wants to play…
As blankly as ever, the "play" key was slid into Destiny's back. The second it did, a confirming "click" sound was heard, and the crying stopped. Ryo stared at the "baby" shocked. "I…did it…?"
"You did." Said a voice coming from the doorway. Ryo gasped and looked up to see Edo leaning against the doorway, smiling at the bluenette. "E-Edo-chan!" Ryo said, standing up and placing Destiny back down. "Y-you're awake!!" Edo yawned and stretched right before walking over to the bed where Ryo was. "Yeah…you kind of woke me up. Hearing you bolt up the stairs with a crying mechanical baby isn't exactly the quietest sound out there." A sweatdrop formed on the back of Ryo's head as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I guess so…sorry…I really didn't want to wake you up." Edo smiled and shook his head, "It's okay. I'll live and besides…I'm happy that I got to see that…"
"See what?" Asked Ryo as he looked back at the "baby". He shook his head, "Oh…that." He blushed slightly, looking away from Edo. "I only did it to shut the damn thing up. I didn't want it to wake you up…" Edo suddenly stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Ryo's chest, hugging himself close to him. "Well it doesn't matter to me why you did it, it just matters that you did. It made me happy…I'm really proud of you…"
Ryo couldn't help but smile as he wrapped his arms around Edo's waist. "I guess it was nothing…" He said as he kissed Edo on the forehead. "It really isn't that hard if you think about what you're doing first. And plus I kind of memorized her pattern after watching you take care of her this whole time." Edo laughed slightly, "Well either way, I'm still proud. After all that complaining and fighting that we did, you finally did something to take care of her. You did a good job."
Ryo, feeling really happy now, started to lean down to kiss Edo on the lips. Edo immediately accepted it, kissing him back, and wrapping his arms tightly around Ryo's neck. Ryo still hated this project, he still thought that it was completely stupid and that Edo was being ridiculous…but he had to admit that seeing Edo smile over something that Ryo did was completely rewarding.
Maybe this whole project wasn't that bad after all.
