Sorry this took so long. Lack of inspiration and... laziness.

And also, if it's YuuiSyao it's for my friend Leia de flourite.

Because she's cool like that.

And she likes the pairing too.

We connect.

And stuff.

XD

Settling in

The sun was rising; just like every morning it will. Some days it would get over the horizon quicker, on some days slower. There are some days that it may not come up at all. But there was one good thing about the sunrise.

Spirits are more wary of the day then they are at night.

Drinking some coffee from a mug, Syaoron watched with slight amusement as he heard some scared shrieking coming from below. He doesn't get much sleep nowadays; his body having more than enough years ago. It would be a long while before he would have to sleep again. He doesn't always see those menacing spirits when they flee but it was better than looking like some creep.

Well there are times that he just hated neighbors; especially the ones who were so closed-minded that they scoffed his way as if being alive was the problem. And they wouldn't be far from the truth.

Mostly.

Vaguely, his ears picked up a faint sound of an alarm going off. Smiling, he finished off the rest of his coffee. He ruffled his hair and yawned. He'll pretend to be half-asleep just like he always would be. If worst come to worst, he'll just say that he was taking some notes down and such. People have believed that all the time.

If only he didn't have to play the act anymore.

A pair of glaring eyes was staring at the mirror; the reflection glaring back at with the same level of malevolence. Yuui groaned as he splashed water on his face. Mornings were never his thing. Even back in Italy, when he had to work long hours, mornings were in his own words 'hell on earth'. Grabbing a towel, he dried off his face and yawned. He can still feel the grumpiness seeping from his expression which wasn't a good sign.

Coffee, he needed coffee.

Hearing the bathroom door open, Syaoron got up from the wall and smiled at the blonde. "Good morning Yuui, had a nice-?"

"Fuck off."

….Well that was unexpected. Syaoron watched the blonde walk away with a pair of wide eyes. He had heard that people are not made for the morning but to get that reaction from a simple greeting proved one thing: if he could, Yuui would erase the morning hours from existence….or kill off all cheery morning people from the planet; whichever was more possible.

Placing a hand under his chin, the young man took note of the blonde's actions and made sure not to make the same mistake twice. When you have nothing else to do, learning becomes more of a hobby than anything else. But it was very different then what he had seen in others. Surely if he had known before-

"God damnit!"

Syaoron winced as he heard the sound of something smashing against the wall. Well he can confirm with certainty that Yuui hated mornings. Although he himself wasn't much of a morning person, he wasn't nearly as bad as the blonde.

Unless he had hangovers. Sometimes drinking helps; it happens.

Rubbing the back of his neck, the young man decided to let the matter go for now. Obviously he was unprepared for that and would need some time to think later. Before he can step foot into the bathroom, he heard a faint sound from behind. Turning his head, he smiled a bit. "Well come on. The shower's big enough for the two of us." Leaving the door open he went inside.

Had Yuui been paying attention to his surrounds instead of his daily problem with the sun, he would have heard the pitter patter of feet.

Breakfast as it turned out became a bit awkward for the two of them. It was not uncomfortable but the tension was clearly in the air and neither of them knew what to do about it.

After dressing up, Yuui went straight to the kitchen to get his daily cup of coffee. He wasn't a caffeine lover by any means but just one coffee, two sugars and a splash of cream would wake him up greatly thus bringing back his more soothing personality. But as soon as he was more aware of the day, he realized that he almost forgot one thing.

His offset comment at his roommate/ owner of the house.

Needless to say that the blonde panicked and went to make some food for the two of them; hoping that they can get past that or apologize if he can. When Syaoron arrived, the blonde smiled and the young man smiled back. However, it was clear that the two remembered the moment but neither of them had any idea how to approach it.

So much for a pleasant first morning together.

Picking at the eggs, Yuui glanced up at Syaoron who was calm and eating while reading the newspaper. He gulped as he looked back down. "S-So…how is the food? It's not too terrible, I hope."

"Nah." Syaoron smiled as he put the paper down. "Actually, it's great. Better then the stuff I make in the morning anyway…by a mile." He chuckled before he took a sip of orange juice.

"Right…" Yuui sighed. "Um…speaking of…I…I want to apologize."

Stopping in mid-sip, Syaoron gulped and out down his glass. "Apologize?"

"Yes…" Yuui rubbed his forehead. "I forgot to warn you that I'm exactly a happy person in the morning. A trait that I acquired during my…younger years." He blushed a bit in embarrassment. "If you were offended or hurt by what I have said then please don't take it personally. I just…I have flaws-"

"So? Everyone does." Syaoron shrugged. "It's not a bad thing. Just means you're still human."

Feeling a bit better, Yuui nodded. "Still, I want to say sorry for it. It's obviously not the way to start the day as roommates." He chuckled. "I was hoping that you didn't get to see that and think I was some jerk."

"Like I said everyone has flaws. We all have to accept it though and move on." Syaoron chuckled. "And to be honest, I really don't mind."

"You don't?" Yuui asked with a bit of confusion.

"Nope." Syaoron took another bite. "In fact, I rather you not put up a front for me just because we just started becoming roommates and junk." He then grinned; his eyes holding an emotion that for some reason Yuui cannot place. "Besides, wouldn't be great to just be yourself straight up then hiding it? I'm sure it'd be easier on the both of us if we get it out now while we still are getting to know each other, right?"

For a mere minute there was silence around the room. Yuui hadn't thought of that before. Seems that the young man was wiser then he looked. It seemed a bit fast though. Of course he hadn't had a roommate that wasn't his brother for a while so it could just be him. Agreeing to some level, Yuui nodded. "Yes. I suppose you are right about that. I'll try to remember that in the future."

"Good." Syaoron smiled brightly at the man before finishing off his meal. "Well, I should get going."

"Hmm?" Yuui looked up with a fork in his mouth. "Where are you going at this hour?"

"Oh nowhere. Just to my room." Syaoron stated; clearly lying carefully. "I have stuff to look over. I have some stuff that I still have in boxes so I'll just get on it before I forgot." He then glanced at the clock. "Speaking of, don't you have work today?"

Yuui blinked before he also glanced at the clock. He then choked on his eggs before clearing his throat. "Oh god, that's true!" He downed his meal and drank the rest of his coffee. "Thank you for reminding me. Ugh, I won't hear the end of it from my boss if she finds out there's no green tea in the tea pot."

"What does tea have to do with you being late and in trouble?" Syaoron had to ask.

"I'm a cooking teacher. I know a thing or two about making good tea." Yuui grinned as he grabbed his stuff. "And the student that was supposed to do it is sick and won't be back for a few days. Poor boy." Making sure the spare house key was in his set of key chains; he glanced at the clock and nodded. "Okay, I'll be back by late afternoon or early evening; depending on how much I have to do today."

"No problem." Syaoron waved him off. "Go. Do what you have to do." He then remembered something. "Oh yeah, It's my week to go shopping. Anything that you want?"

Thinking for a moment, Yuui shrugged. "Well if you can buy some flour, eggs…" He then sighed. "On second thought," He walked quickly went to the kitchen counter where there was a notepad and a pen for emergencies. He blonde wrote down the items that he wanted. "Here. You can get some of those. And you add chocolate to that too." He smiled.

"Chocolate's your fave sweet?" Syaoron asked with a grin of his own.

"Actually it's strawberry but chocolate's a good second." Yuui chuckled. Grabbing his bag and putting on his shoes, he waved at the other. "Well, I'll see you later."

"Sure." Syaoron chuckled as he got himself another glass of juice. However as the front door closed, the smile slowly slipped off his face. He let his finger touch the rim of the glass; not at all thirsty. "So the child is sick. That's unfortunate." Glancing over at the slip of paper with the desired items, he reached over and grabbed it. "I don't know why I'm feeling this crappy for. It's not like I expect much from him. After all, we're only roommates."

'But for how long?'

Growling under his breath, Syaoron stuffed the paper into his pocket and downed that juice before slamming it on the counter top. So many memories, so many nightmares to accompany them. And he had been through ones that would make the average human instituted in a mental asylum.

Wiping his mouth, he decided to clean up and journey back to his room. Taking the plates and glasses, he dumped them into the sink and rolled his sleeves. But a series of knocking stopped him from wetting his hands as he turned his head. "Now who can that be in such an hour?" Sighing, he ventured to the front door and unlocking it. As he opened it, he was met by a familiar sight.

"Hey there." A cheery but manly voice came from the other side. "I was passing through the neighborhood, going door to door asking if there are some installations that are needed in the household. You see I'm a freelance electrician and I make my business wherever I go. Would you be interested?"

A moment of silence occurred before Syaoron chuckled. "Well, if what you say is true then I think I am in need of assistance." He stepped back to let the other in. "Come inside and we'll talk."

With the other inside, Syaoron closed the door behind him and shook his head. "You know, the color white is associated with innocence and you, my friend are defying that and more." He turned around and saw the other grinning knowingly. "So, let's get down to business, shall we?"

"Yuui~!" Fai cried out as he hugged his younger twin from behind; earning a yelp from said person. "It's great to see you again. I've missed you!"

Caught between laughing and groaning in dismay, Yuui hugged Fai almost as tightly but not quite. "Yes, yes. I missed you too." He smiled despite his words. He was a bit happy to see his brother again.

"It's only been a day, moron." Kurogane idly commented from the lounge table with a new paper in his hands; right next to them. "I doubt he'd be throwing confetti and playing fanfare for your annoying ass."

Fai stuck his tongue out while Yuui chuckled. "He's my brother, Kuro-meanie. I'll miss him no matter how long it would be. That's how we are."He then heard a bit of laughter as he turned his head. He smiled.

"Thanks." Yuui grinned as Fai let go of him. "I'm sure Kurogane didn't mean it to sound harsh. He's just a bit stubborn with expressing his feelings is all."

"Oh, very true. Little brother." Fai teased. "Kuro-cutie can get a bit defensive when it comes to the matters of the heart."

"I'm right here, you know." Kurogane scowled.

"Yeah, we know." The Fluorite twins said in unison before turning their attention back to each other.

"So Yuui about this roommate that you're with," Fai started as he took Yuui's hand and led him to the lounge couch. "Tell me, what's he like?" He was rather curious to know since it was rather unusual to move out and find a place all in one day. While he was thankful that someone took him in, he wanted to know if Yuui was safe with a total stranger. They may be adults but that would never block their bond as brothers; and twins at that.

Thinking for a second, Yuui smiled a bit. "Well, he's Chinese and a foreigner so we can relate on a certain level." He paused for a second. "He's very young. Not in his twenties yet but seems quite mature." He then laughed. "And he's very easy to talk to. A bit too casual though I felt at ease with him."

"That's great." Fai smiled softly. "I'm glad he's not one of those 'stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours' kind of roomie." He then laced Yuui's fingers with his. "But if you have any problems with this young man, don't hesitate to call me and I'll be there help no matter what." His soft smile fell a bit. "I just want you to be happy, okay?"

Kurogane slightly glanced over his shoulder at watched the twins; feeling a bit concerned for Yuui's well-being as well though he tried not to show it.

With a gentle smile and a nod, Yuui looked up at his brother. "Yeah, I know you do. And I won't hold back from calling you. Cross my heart." He made an X on his chest to empathize his point.

"Good~!" Fai then hugged Yuui a bit; smiling widely as he felt Yuui hugging back.

Turning back to his paper, Kurogane was glad that the twins' bond was severed in any way, regardless of time. Now he can just sit back, wait for the bell to ring and just relax—

The door slammed opened revealing an older woman with a very bright sly smile. "Hello~! How are my favorite teachers~?"

"…." Wordlessly, Kurogane folded his paper and placed it on the table with a heavy sigh. He wasn't sure why he expected his mornings at the academy to be any different. Nothing can be quiet for long.

"Ah! Yuuko-sensei! Good morning!" The blonde twins smiled as they stood up.

"Oh hello my darlings." Yuuko walked over and hugged them. "I missed you so much. This weekend was a total draw. Nothing to do while my lovely friends were having fun."

"If having fun meant actually doing paperwork while you got drunk at some seedy bar yet again then yeah, we had fun." Kurogane commented on the side; not exactly showing enthusiasm for his boss and chairman.

Smiling at the gym teacher, Yuuko walked over and patted the man's head a bit too hard before going over at the counter to get her morning tea. "So, Yuui. I heard that you moved out of your brothers' place." She got herself a cup and added a bit of sugar. "Were the nights of your brother and Kurogane sharing a room really that bad?" She teased.

"Oh don't you damn start." Kurogane snapped while Fai had the decency to blush.

"I-It's not that." Yuui nervously chuckled as he blushed as well. "I just felt like I needed to…get the feel of being on my own again. My independence was…compromised so I decided to just move out and such. That's all."

Yuuko took a glance between the twins and Kurogane before she took a sip. "That's all?"

"That's all." Yuui repeated; sticking to his story.

After a short bout of silence, Yuuko closed her eyes. She loved how Watanuki made the tea and Yuui. But she supposed that Kurogane's way of making tea was still the best. "I see." She then opened her eyes. "Fai-sensei, Kurogane-sensei. I think you two should go on ahead to your classes. I would like to speak to Yuui-sensei alone."

Fai hesitated for a second but snapped his head to the side as Kurogane got up and took his paper.

"Come on." The gym teacher glanced at the chemistry teacher. "Let's go. We have work to do."

Though he didn't like, Fai had to agree. "Yeah, you're right." Walking passed Yuui, he placed a hand on the shoulder. "See you at lunch?"

"You bet." Yuui touched the hand before it was off his shoulder. He watched his brother and Kurogane walked out the door. He soon felt a bit trapped inside the huge room with his boss. He waited for the older woman to speak. Just so he can get over whatever she was going to say.

Gulping down the tea slowly, Yuuko sighed in content before placing the cup on the counter. "Yuui," She started. "You know as well I do that the business of the teachers' personal lives at this academy is none of my own."

The cooking nodded; agreeing with her.

"But if their personal lives are affecting their work at the academy, that's when I draw the line." Yuuko then stood upright and went over to Yuui. "I may be a bit odd to the normal eye but I am not at all naïve. In my years of being chairman, I have seen teachers crumble over anything that has happened to them outside of the school; including myself from time to time."

Gulping, Yuui felt a bit intimidated by the chairman's sharp look. "I-I see."

With her face softening, Yuuko sighed. "Yuui, don't misunderstand me. You shouldn't be scared of what I said but know that whether you like it not, I want to know what is going on with my staff and see of the problem or cause can be rectified in any way possible. I'm not your boss at the moment, but a friend. You know that, right?"

After a long pause, Yuui placed a hand on his chest and nodded. "Of course I do. You're my friend as well…among some, of course."

Smiling softly, the chairman patted Yuui on the shoulder. "So tell me; what's the real reason for the sudden departure of your brother's place?"

For a moment, Yuui didn't say a word. He then sighed. "I…I love my brother….I really do." He started; feeling more vulnerable by the second. "But…brother loves Kurogane, in a way that I may never experience. I'm happy for them, I really am. It's just…I just don't feel so close to brother anymore. I felt distant from him; even being in the same building from him. It's not the same. And…I just wanted out."

"Before something happens to further hurt the bond you two have." Yuuko finished; seeing the distress and sadness from the cooking teacher. "Hmm, maybe it was a step backwards to having Kurogane move in with you two." She mused to herself; ignoring the look on Yuui's face. "But it was very mature of you to make that choice. I can tell it wasn't easy."

"Yeah," Yuui nodded. "It was…the most difficult thing I have ever done. Well besides coming here to be a cooking teacher."

Giggling a bit, Yuuko patted Yuui on the head. "And I bet it was killing you inside to part with your brother like that. But if you think that not being psychically close to your brother can strengthen the bond between you two, then I'm all for it."

"Y-You are?" Yuui asked after a brief bout of silence. "But, does that work?"

Smiling at the cooking teacher, Yuuko laughed. "Well it had the last time, didn't it?"

"….." Yuui thought for a moment before he smiled; knowing what Yuuko was talking about. "Yes….yes, you're right." He then bowed at the chairman. "Thank you for understanding. This won't affect my work. I assure you."

"Well see that it doesn't." Yuuko's smile or attitude didn't change though her words were proof enough that she was serious. "I'm just glad that I don't have to see two gorgeous blonde so sad~!" She cooed.

Yuui blushed before he chuckled nervously. "I…I see. Yeah. It would be a problem, wouldn't it?" Chairman or not, Yuuko was something else.

"Now that this has been taken care of," Yuuko leaned back to before turning her head. "I think it's time we should leave and start the day, wouldn't you say?"

Nodding, Yuui smiled. "Yes, ma'am."

"Oh don't say that. It makes me feel old." Yuuko huffed before grinned back. "I'll see you at lunch hour." As she was at the door, she stopped. "Say, Yuui."

"Yes?" The cooking teacher paused as he picked up his bag.

"That roommate of yours. He's more then what he seems. I suggest you be careful around him, until the truth revealed. After that, there will be a choice that you have to make. Choose well, Yuui." Looking at the blonde, Yuuko smiled. "See you later."

The cooking teacher stood still as the chairman's steps echoed down the hallway. His blue eyes were wide and his body paralyzed. He gulped; feeling scared and nervous. Though he had a good reason to.

Yuuko was smarter then she looked.

That blonde was funny today.

Oh yes, very funny.

I can see why master wanted him.

Want or need?

Meh, words mean nothing to me.

Like you're one to talk.

Hahaha! Fight, Fight, Fight~!

Oh shush!

So how about the blonde?

Should we play with him for a while?

Oh! Great idea!

Yay~! I have to play~! I want to play~!

And play we will, my dears.

Hehe….

"Syaoron," Yuui ventured inside as he closed the door behind him. "Are you home?" Locking the door, the blonde hung up his bag and jacket. After taking off his shoes, he wandered into the kitchen. "Syaoron?" Upon entering, he saw that there were bags of food left on the table. But the young man was nowhere in sight.

That puzzled the cooking teacher.

Sighing, he went and started unpacking the food; hoping that nothing frozen was spoiled. While occupied, his mind was left to ponder. He was still thinking about those words that Yuuko had said to him. What did she mean that his roommate was more then he seemed? And what was this stuff about making a choice when the truth comes out.

As far as he knew, Yuui never told Yuuko who his roommate was and there was no way that she would know about Syaoron before he moved in.

Unless….

A loud thump alerted the blonde as he was just getting out from fruit. Placing the item down, he popped his head out of the kitchen. "Syaoron. Was that you? Is everything okay up there?" He can assume that Syaoron was home; the young man having not much to do besides grocery shopping. When he didn't hear an answer, the blonde decided to venture upstairs to make sure that the young man wasn't hurt. Leaving the kitchen, he started to go up the stairs.

Hehe.

Yuui stopped at the second step as he turned his head. He raised an eyebrow at that. Was he dreaming or was that a giggle? After a second of silence, he shrugged and went up the stairs. He must have been tired, he thought. How else would he suddenly hear a high-pitch giggle out of nowhere?

"Syaoron…" Yuui called for the fifth time as he slowly walked down the hallway. "Come on Syaoron, give me a shout or something to know that you're here." He didn't like getting surprised or scared unless there was a reason. And living with Fai for some odd years, such reason was yet to be found. "Hello? Are you home or am I talking to myself? Hello?"

Hello.

Blue eyes went wide at the voice. Yuui stopped dead in the middle of the hallway as he turned around. "H-Hello….?"

Hello~!

Jumping at the high pitched voice, Yuui started to become frantic. "Umm….o-okay…." He thought he was hallucinating. "I….I must be going nuts…" He chuckled in a bit of hysteria. "There's…There's no way that I heard some voice. There's no one here but me—"

Are you sure human?

I don't think you're alone.

Oh no, so not alone.

Now there were three voices. Three disembodied voices. Feeling scared, Yuui wrapped his arms around himself. "W-Who are you?" His shoulders started to shake as he looked around. "S-Show yourself! This isn't funny, you know!"

Show yourself, the human says.

Oh this human's got a demanding side.

Hehe! And he's shaking like a leaf~!

Like we show ourselves to the likes of you.

You're nothing but a mere human.

A human, yes~! Not at all like master.

Master is strong.

Master is smart.

And master's pretty fun to be with~!

"Master…? Who is your master—" Yuui yelped as he felt a cold touch on his shoulder. He moved back from it only get another cold touch on his hip. Then another, then another. Soon he was panicking and gasping in fright as he heard the voices starting to circle around him.

Master is strong.

Master is smart.

And master is fun~!

We like him.

We are around him.

And we are loyal to him.

But you're not like him.

Not at all like him.

You're a just human who haven't lived past a couple decades~!

You're weak.

You're pathetic.

You're nothing~!

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing at all~!

"Shut up! Just shut up!" Yuui screamed as he covered his ears to block out the mean laughter and whimsically dark taunts. "I don't who your master is! I don't know anything! Please just shut up and leave me alone! Please! Just go away!" He never felt so scared in his life. The only other time that he was spooked for his life was when—

"Yuui?"

Everything just stopped as Yuui heard a familiar voice right behind him. Turning his head and opening his eyes, there was Syaoron who was blinking in worry. He was so spooked that he didn't realize that his eyes were filled with tears and were soon running down his face.

Syaoron saw that and was right with the blonde with his hands on top of his own. "Whoa, Yuui. Are you okay? You seem so shaken up by something."

As soon as he felt those hands on his, Yuui felt a certain kind of warmth that he never experienced. It was welcoming, calm and soothing. Like he was being cared for. When his hands dropped from his head; he didn't noticed once that Syaoron was cradling them in his own.

"Yuui…." Syaoron squeezed those hands. "Come on, talk to me. What's wrong?"

"…S..Syaoron…." Yuui cried out a bit. "I was…I was just walking…." He closed his eyes as those tears ran faster down his face; a few hitting the floor below. "I was calling for you….there was no answer. Then those voices came…t-they were making fun of me….I felt so cold….so scared…I thought I was losing it…I thought…"

"Hey." Syaoron's voice came out gentle and slow. "It's okay. You don't have to say anymore." He thought he heard something down the halls. He thought it was those spirits running amok so he didn't do anything. But when he heard Yuui's voice all scared and frantic, he had to see what was up.

Why, those tiny bullies. Messing with yet another human because their jealousy.

Opening his eyes, Yuui sniffed. He was still a bit scared but with Syaoron here with him, he had no reason to still feel that way. "B-But…" He then screamed as he felt something attaching to his ankle. In his hysteric panic, he hugged the first thing he can get his hands on.

And that was Syaoron.

Used to the screams of others, Syaoron was indifferent to the reaction. But he had a faint blush when the blonde's body was pressed up to his. "Uh, Yuui. You alright?" He was very close to hugging back and having that warmth seep into him but he stopped himself. Now was not the time.

"Oh my god, it's come back! It's going to eat me, it's going to drag me down to hell…." Yuui started ranting and shouting; not at all there as fear took over him. "I can't take anymore of this shtick! I'm going mad, I'm going crazy-"

"Yuui!"

"Huh?" Yuui stopped as he looked at Syaoron.

"There's nothing pulling you down." The young man stated as coughed. "And…you're pretty close to me."

It took a full three seconds before Yuui yelped and pulled away from Syaoron completely. With a red face; obviously from embarrassment, he looked away. "S-Sorry about that. I wasn't thinking straight."

"No, it's fine." Syaoron smiled though the blush remained. "You were scared. It's understandable. No worries." He then glanced down; his smile getting wider. "Oh, so that's what is on your ankle."

"What?" Yuui looked down and instantly felt like an idiot. "A stuffed blue toy dog?" He stated in exasperation. "Really? That's what frightened me? I can't believe this." As if the day at the chaotic academy wasn't enough already. Know he was just getting a huge case of paranoia.

"It's not that bad." Syaoron reassured the blonde as he picked up the toy. "I've seen people get freaked out with less." His smile softened at he glanced at the toy. "So there you are."

Looking over at the young man, Yuui blinked. "Oh, man. Is that toy yours?"

"In a way." Syaoron swiftly lied. "I was looking everywhere for him. I guess I wasn't looking hard enough." He chuckled as he used his sleeve to clean it up. It had a bit of soot on the head. He had an idea where he was.

Leaning forward to get a closer look, Yuui then smiled. "Well, it's rather cute. I'll give it that."

The toy ( though unnoticed by Yuui ) shook a bit which made Syaoron bit his lower lip; trying to hold back some laughter. "Well, he's something." He then leaned it out to Yuui. "Want him?"

That smile on Yuui's face faded as he had a shocked expression on his face. "Wait, what?"

"Do you want him?" Syaoron repeated as he smiled at the blonde.

"Want him? Really?" Yuui then frowned; feeling a bit selfish. "But isn't he yours?"

"And? That doesn't mean I can't share." Syaoron shrugged. "And I think he's suited better with you. He's blue and you seem to like blue." He chuckled. "Besides, you live here so it's not like you're stealing him from me. And I'm giving it to you. So, how about it?" He was very amused on how selfless Yuui was. Not that others didn't have it from time to time but something about Yuui made it different then the rest.

Just like before.

Feeling torn, Yuui eventually nodded as he took the stuffed dog and smiled. "Thank you." He then nuzzled it gently. "It's been a long time since I had a stuffed animal." He placed the stuffed dog on his shoulder. "There, now you can see everything, little guy."

"No thanks are needed." Syaoron waved it off as he saw Yuui playing a bit with the dog. He liked that smile the blonde had on his face. He then decided that the blonde should do that more often. "Now that we're past this scare episode, how about we do downstairs and get some food? I'll cook." He smiled.

"Oh….oh right." Yuui blushed as he placed a hand on the head of the stuffed dog. "Being scared to death does give you quite an appetite." Sighing, he nodded. "Yeah, I think some food would be nice."

Laughing a bit, Syaoron placed his hand on Yuui's back. "Come on, let's go back to the kitchen." With the blonde by his side, he turned his head to see wisps of pure energy swirling around. His eyes glowed brightly and angrily; making those things stop and disappear in a second.

"Syaoron, is there something wrong?"

Blinking, his eyes went back to brown as he smiled at looked up at Yuui. "Oh no." He started. "Just had a long day, is all." Hearing Yuui laugh and agree with him, his eyes trailed from the blonde and to the stuffed animal. He slightly nodded to it.

And the blue toy dog slightly nodded back; knowing what was asked and what he needed to do.

TBC

Sorry, not much YuuiSyao yet. Just a moment of hysteria. Like those movies, the girl hugs the guy because she was scared and the guy can't do anything because he would think it'll make things worse.

XD

But there will be bit by bit. Because the next chapter and so on will be time skips a bit.

Not sure how long this story's going to be but I hope I wouldn't take too long the next time around.

...Hopefully.
