" I want to see the rain again. " Eiji stares out at the rain, his head resting in his hand. " O-ne…" He sighs. " It's so pretty, " The ivory ends of Eiji's hair tickle his collarbone, he tries to lift the window with no success. Eiji looks around, he grabs a light blue T-shirt from the floor, pulling it messily down past his ears and over his head. " By the time sensei decides to wake, the rain will be gone. " Eiji wipes his sweaty palms on his white shorts, he turns the silver knob to the study's door. " Yoru-san? " He peeps into the bedroom, Eiji turns away too fast to have seen anything. His chest raises and falls almost too quickly for him to get a breath. Eiji silently walks towards the apartment door, his hand now on the metal knob. Eiji swallows almost audibly, he steps out onto the tiled apartment complex floor, not completely closing the door behind him for easier entrance. " O-ne_ " He lets out as he feels his feet freeze from the dirty tiles. Eiji walks on his tiptoes softly down the staircases, he gently pushes the heavy, metal door open, leading him to the outside. The light spills in at Eiji's feet and on his skin, he steps out onto concrete, toes getting a new feel for the outside ground. He steps out further letting the rain hit him, he cringes at the temperature of it. " The clouds must be cold today- " Eiji jumps back. "O-!O-NE! " He shrieks, he spotted a large garden snake out of the corner of his eye, slithering slowly towards the apartment building. Eiji grabs the metal door handle, he pushes and pulls frantically. " O-NE! " Eiji bangs on the door, looking back and forth from the snake to the door.

" Yoru-sama! Yoru-sama! " Eiji calls, he pounds on the door. " Yoru-san, Yoru-san! " He yells. " Sensei! " The door forces open, sending Eiji crashing on the ground, he lets out a shriek, trying to get himself off the ground and away from the snake. Yoru grabs him by the collar, yanking him up into his chest.

" Gomen ne! " He throws him inside the building, Yoru's eyes burn into him furiously. Yoru grabs Eiji at the back of his neck, yanking him up the stairs leading him into the apartment. " Gomen ne! " Eiji cries out. Yoru slams the door behind him, he turns to face Eiji. Yoru grabs the back of Eiji's neck again, he shoves his head downwards, the little bell jingles.

" Get in the study! " Yoru yells furiously.

" Gomen ne! " Eiji shrieks as he runs to the study. " Gomen ne, gomen ne " Yoru hears as he angrily storms towards to the study, he shuts the door loudly behind him.

" You have been such a naughty, disobedient, ungrateful boy! " Yoru reaches down for Eiji, he yanks him up by his platinum hair, bending him over the desk. Yoru rips down Eiji's rain-soaked shorts, even pulled down they still are far from touching his lanky knees. SMACK!

" Ah! " Eiji lets out. Yoru strikes his bare bottom again, Eiji clenches his muscles. Yoru rubs the pale seat of Eiji, cupping the cheeks in his open hand. SMACK! " One, I will be a good boy " SMACK! He caresses the cheeks only to pull back and strike them again, one on each. " Two, I will not disobey " SMACK! " Three!- " SMACK! "Fo-" SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! " EIGHT! I WILL! Not disobey-, again.. " Tears drop down on the desk, he softly cries. Yoru massages the reddening boys bottom, baby soft and shaking at his touch. Yoru pulls his hand back, and brings it down on Eiji's ass again, Eiji cries out in pain. His muscles tense away as tightly as they can. " Nine, I will obey.. I will obey-" SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! " ELEVEN! " Eiji screams loudly. " Eleven, eleven, I will obey " He says, words breaking. He sobs loudly, head crammed up against the wall and arms crowded around it. Yoru's eyes follow what was once, milk-white skin, unflawed and unblemished. The skin now replaced with almost mahogany red coloring, Eiji cringes under his touch, letting out a cry. Eiji desperately grabs onto Yoru's shirt tails, crying into his stomach. " Yoru-sama, forgive me " He sobs. " Please don't be angry with koneko " Yoru grabs the sobbing boy into him, pulling up his white shorts. Yoru embraces him tightly.

" Now what were you thinking, Eiji? " Yoru questions. " Were you trying to ruin your beautiful skin with the sun? I would never stop scrubbing you if you let the sun blemish you with freckles. " Eiji's cries vibrate on his stomach, Yoru peels Eiji from himself. " Now what have I told you about crying? Your eyes are such a pretty color, now why would you want to ruin that? " Yoru strokes Eiji's hair in between tense ears. " Hm? " Eiji rubs his face on Yoru's stomach, he peers up at him, eyes still filling.

" I don't know " Eiji answers through the tears. Yoru wipes the tears from his eyes, he guides Eiji up closer to him, holding him onto his chest. Yoru strokes Eiji's delicate ears until they stand up completely on his head, he presses his forehead to the top of Eiji's head. Eiji's ears send warmth through Yoru, he smiles at the feeling. Yoru pulls Eiji away until their eyes meet, Eiji looks towards the ground. " Eiji, " He returns his eyes to Yoru, his ears beginning to lay backwards. Yoru smiles. " My 'iji-'iji, " A smile spreads across Eiji's face, his ears also responding. " E-i-ji-kun " Yoru says, pausing at every syllable, smiling down at him.

" Wa-ta-shi no ko-ko-ro, " Eiji says quietly. Yoru lets out a chuckle.

" I have to be getting to work now Eiji. " Yoru peels Eiji's thin arms from him, his bell chimes as he steps out of Yoru's way. Yoru sits in his desk chair, he scoots himself up to his desk, beginning to log onto his computer. Eiji lowers himself to the ground, sitting on his feet, he leans his head over on Yoru's legs. " You've decided to come sit with me while I do 'boring' work? " Yoru teases, he looks down at Eiji, narrow eyes looking kind. Eiji rubs his ears against Yoru.

" It's not boring anymore, Yoru-san. "Eiji shifts the weight on his feet, Yoru's leg partially deafening Eiji's right ear.

" Usotsuki. Liar. " Yoru reaches down and gently pulls one of Eiji's ears, he lets out a small meow.

" O-ne " Eiji whines.

" I haven't seen you playing that new Samurai 5 game you wanted, have you forgotten that I'd purchased it for you? " Yoru questions.

" No, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.. " Eiji answers, his fingers tense and relax.

" Aren't one of your obnoxious television shows on about this time? " Yoru asks, eyes not moving from his computer.

" I-, I guess I don't really want to watch The Adventures today.. "

" You can rent a movie if you like, Eiji. You don't need to bore yourself. " Yoru suggests, computer responding to his clicks and typing. Eiji presses his ear more into Yoru's leg. " Hm?- " Eiji wraps his arms tightly around Yoru's legs the best he can.

" I'll be a good boy. I'll be a good boy I know I will " Yoru places a hand on Eiji's pure hair. " Please don't throw me away- "

" Idiot. " Eiji's ears snap down, his head bows even lower now, arms still holding on tight. " Look at me, Eiji. " He reluctantly opens his eyes, head still facing downwards, he lets out a slow mewl. Eiji looks up at Yoru, arms starting to ache from holding onto him. " I'm not throwing you away. There's no need for sad eyes, 'iji. " Eiji smiles weakly, his ears slowly start to lift. " If you want to stay by my side while I'm working, you are welcome to. " Yoru returns his eyes to his computer, typing and clicking away already. Eiji rests his head on Yoru's legs, he yawns.

" Is koneko tired? "

" No, " Eiji rubs one of his eyes with a closed hand, he returns it to his knee. Yoru chuckles.

" Yasahii usotsuki. " Yoru continues to work, Eiji listens closely as the keyboard seems to talk to him.
