Chapter 6 - Perfect date
'Fuck. He really couldn't take more things' Kanda thought after tripping once again over some rocks. He glared at the poor bag that was loosely hung on his left arm and accidentally, but constantly, banging him on the hip.
'And what's exactly inside that damn thing?' His hand reached for the buckle.
In the middle way his palm collided with his companion's one and was pushed away.
"Dame!" The whitette pointed his index finger closely to the prince's face and waved a few times. "Dame, dame! You cannot open it now!"
Kanda watched as his lover closed his eyes, made a half turn and crossed his arms on the back. Of course smiling cutely all the time.
Both of them were walking for same time now. Their 'meeting place' was at a memorable waterfall, where (what they decided the day before) they would meet if anything happen or if they just would like to see each other. The forest was long ago behind them, so now they were walking through farmlands on the field path with trees here and there.
"Che. So why do I have to drag this fucking thing all the way… " Kanda's voice turned into murmur while speaking, which made the boy turn to look at him, so now he was walking 'backwards'.
"Oi, don't be that angry! It's not too big, so it shouldn't be a burden to such a strong and well-built man like you, should it…?" The boy asked slyly, with a slightly crafty twinkle in the eyes, but was smiling innocently at his partner.
Kanda, taken aback by the compliment, reacted with not so covered pride. He turned his head to the another side, totally obvious of being controlled.
"Che. Of course it isn't".
At that reaction the boy chuckled to himself. Kanda peeked at his Moyashi. And then suddenly that came to him: he didn't know how to call his beloved one. That thought had to show up on the prince's face, 'couse the boy was looking at him questioningly and obviously waiting for the explanation. He sighted.
"How the fuck should I call you?"
"…ha? Call me? What am I? A dog?" The boy leant in Kanda's direction and put his palms on his hips. Then huffed and his cheeks showed a cute pout.
'Fuck' Kanda exhaled quietly ' Calm down Kanda. Just calm down…'
"Che. We are going to the village. It's not a big one, but what if you get lost? How I'm supposed to find you?" He clear his throat. "I'm sooo sorry! I'm looking for a Moyashi, have you seen him?" Kanda said in a actor way, his hands waving dramatically. „He is that height" He pointed to his chest" And …" Kanda stopped after receiving an alert punch on the arm from his companion, who seemed to be even more agitated now.
"Oi! I'm not that short!"
"…slim…" The prince continued like nothing happened. This time he needed to dodge because of the whitette's attempts to hit him.
"…cute…" Kanda caught his lover's fist in his own and with one firm yet gentle pull he placed him close to his own body.
"Ahh..! Wa-ait..!" The boy's eyes widened in surprise.
"…and utterly beautiful" Kanda finished looking teasingly in his partner eyes. The bluette placed his free hand around his partner's waist, making the other unable to escape.
"Che. So… How should I call my beautiful Moyashi?"
By then the whitette cooled down a bit from the surprising actions of his partner. Still he had hints of red on his cheeks, so he snuggled even closer and put his head on the other's arm, trying to hide from the other to see him in his actual state. He murmured barely audible:
"Baka… How am I suppose to be mad at you when you are saying things like that…"
Kanda smirked, but for a few following minutes said nothing. His partner seemed to enjoy the moment and the prince had nothing against it. Truly, he fought about anything besides that. He even started stroking the whitette's palm, while listening to his not so steady breathing. Kanda glanced at the sky above them.
'Hnn… Perfect weather for today' The prince smiled. 'But the clouds that are coming from the west are making me uneasy' He narrowed his eyes, but after a while he decided to shrug it off. 'That is going to be a fucking perfect date' He ended their peaceful moment with a kiss on the boy's head. Kanda spun the boy around by the connected them hands.
"Yey!" The whitette chuckled. Now they were waking hand to hand along the sandy path.
"Che"
"Hn?"
"So?"
"So what?"
"Che. Don't make me repeat myself" Kanda tried to glare at his mischievously smiling partner.
"Ok, ok!" The boy put his free hand up in a surrender gesture. "So… Maybe… Ah! You can call me Walker!" Now he looked like he was proud of himself 'couse of such a genius idea. But the prince looked at him surprised.
"Walker? Why is that?"
"That was my mother's maiden name" Was the confident answer.
"Was?" Kanda asked hesitantly.
"Yes, was" The boy smiled longingly.
Kanda broke the moment of silence with his:
"Che" A short pause for deeper breath. "I'm not going to call you that"
"Hn? Why not?" This time the whitette was surprised.
"That name doesn't suit such a cute person" Kanda winked at him. The boy reacted instantly as Kanda predicted. 'Shit, he looks definitely to damn cute while blushing' The prince fought silently. "But…" Then he spotted the his lover's hand playing with the strand of his white hair "Shiro sounds better"
"Shiro, you said…" The boy put his index finger to the bottom lip and seemed trying his new name. "Shiro… Shiro…" At least he turned to Kanda "Yhm! Sounds great! I like it!" He smiled. "But what about you?"
Kanda looked ahead "Che, Yuu"
Shiro raised left eyebrow with a suspicious gaze. "What about me…?"
"Che. That's my name. Y-U-U"
"…"
"Che, what?"
"Ahh! So that big guy back then was calling for you!"
"Che? Ah, right. And the 'big guy' was my father" Kanda shrugged his shoulders, completely uninterested in that topic.
"Was…?" Shiro asked quietly.
"Unfortunately – no"
"Oi! You shouldn't say things like that! He is such a caring father, that he was searching for you by himself!" The boys' hands again found their way on his hips. After a while expression on his face changed to a thoughtful one…"But that time I thought that he was screaming at me, so I escaped without 'goodbye'" He closed his eyes and smiled sheepishly.
"Ah…!" Kanda nearly facepalmed.
"So… Yuu..."
'Hnn. I like the way he says it' Kanda smirked slightly.
"…what did you plan for our date?" Shiro asked playfully.
Kanda snuggled his right hand around his lover's waist.
"Che. You will see" He looked to the left with a sincere smile, where it was immediately reflected on the boy's face.

„Waaahhh!" Shiro's eyes were shining from joy. His palms were clenched in fists and were waving up and down close to his torso. They just entered the small village and went to the main street full of beautifully decorated stalls, every in front of neatly looking little cottages. The boy was so captivated by that sight, that now nearly running from one stall to another. His orbs didn't stop at the same thing for longer than five minutes and he was constantly screaming for Kanda, who had hard time trying to catch his lover's rate.
"Yuu! Yuu! Come over there! What's that?" Now the whitette was showing him a beautifully shaped in wax candle. Kanda examined said thing quickly.
"Tha-"
"That's a rose-candle" The elder shopkeeper's voice interfered the prince's sentence. Then he looked around, as if he wanted to check if anyone hear them, and beckoned his index finger a few times at himself like he wanted to say: 'Come hear closer'. Kanda and Shiro lent down in the indicated side, the bluette a little bit further.
"And it's a special candle" The seller whispered and looked mysteriously at his customers. "Not only it smells like roses, but if you wave your hand closely enough and fast enough, you can make it ignite" The prince's eyes met the shopkeeper's ones, were he found a playful glint. In an instant he caught the other's intensions, so he nodded slightly in understanding.
"Ne, nee Yuu! Can I try?" Shiro was jumping from excitement. But Kanda looked reluctant and uncertain.
"Che. That seems to be damn difficult task…"
"But Yuu! I can just try, can't I? That would be any damage, I promise!"
Kanda still played hesitant.
"But what if –"
"Yuu…" Shiro's eyes started to water. "I've never seen something like that." He looked at his lover almost pleadingly. "Pleaseee…?"
Kanda and the shopkeeper were taken aback by the boy's request and… his actual appearance. With palms tightly squeezed and pressed against his chest, tears in the edges of his eyes and hints of red on his cheeks… Their own colored a bit.
The shopkeeper was the first one to response.
"I think he is sure" He smiled encouraging to Kanda. The prince just ched, but Shiro knew that meant 'go ahead'.
"Yey!" He shouted instantly and his tears magically… disappeared.
The bluette and the seller looked at each other. The former smiled happily.
"Looks like we've been tricked"
"Che, ah" Kanda smiled lightly as well, but his eyes was already at his Moyashii, who was preparing himself to his difficult task. He was about to wave when the seller said with a serious voice.
"But remember, if you do it just a little bit slower then you should, you can make all the place here stand in fire"
"..ha?" Shiro stepped back at the statement, frightened.
"Che, what now? Have you just chickened out?" The prince smirked.
"N-n-no! Of course not!" Looked like the whitette tried to convince himself. He stood proudly in front on the 'special' candle and had very concentrated expression. Kanda and the shopkeeper got themselves ready to laugh. After all igniting the fire while using only hands was impossi-…
WHIFF
"Woah! Yuu! YUU! I did it! There is a flame and nothing got fired!" Shiro yelled and stood proudly straight. Indeed, the wick of said candle was burning sternly. Both observers' eyes widened in shock. They lent in the candle's direction and started outshouting each other.
"Ha…?!"
"What the fuck…?"
"But that's impos-"
"How did you…?"
But the boy was already interested in something else. He politely thanked the seller and run to the other stall. Kanda, after making sure that he knew where his lover went, turned his attention back to the shopkeeper.
"How much is that damn thing?"
"That candle? You want that for him?" He smirked at Kanda.
"Che, maybe" The prince looked away, but his face redden straight away.
"Haha! Don't be so shy" He laughed and glanced at the whitette. "He is a nice boy. And you cannot deny him his beauty" He looked at the prince again and pulled out his hand with rose's-tuft-shaped candle."Take it. I don't want money. But be sure to invite me on your wedding" He winked at his customer, what has to be a purpose for his blush becoming more visible.
"Che" The bluette quickly grabbed the present and run after his partner. The seller was looking at Kanda's back a little longer before returning to his work.
"What a cute couple" He murmured and smiled to himself.
-/- time skip -/-
"Che. So, do you like it?"
"Yep!" Shiro nodded conveniently. He was actually eating sixth portion of dango. "Arigato, Yuu" He smiled and titled his head to the side.
"Che. That's nothing" Kanda sat more comfortably in his seat and looked around once more. They were resting for some time in one of the café's on the same street where they got the candle before. When he glanced through a window he spotted shopkeepers hiding their merchandise inside in fear of the constantly pouring rain. The hours were late, so they were the only customers in there. He finished his soba long ago and now he was playing with his chopsticks.
"Neee, Yuu…?" Shiro asked quietly.
"Che, what?"
"What are we going to do now?" His plate was already filled with the remaining of the dish.
"Che. We have to stay here and wait. Going outside is impossible."
The whitette stood up and walked slowly to the window. He kneeled, put his elbows on the windowsill, crossed hands and put head on them.
"But where are we going to sleep? It doesn't looks like the rain is going to stop soon."
"Che. Don't know, but-"
"Ano…" A weak voice followed a light pull on Shiro's sleeve.
"Maybe you can stay here…?"
Both adolescents looked at the little girl surprised, then at each other. Kanda only ched, so Shiro said with a bright smile to the kid:
"Ah, why not?"
A little dictionary:
dame – you can't!
baka – stupid, idiot
shiro - white
arigato – thank you
Thanx for reading!
It's not the end of their date, the most interesting part is still before them – the night ;)
