CHAPTER 12

The day had ended and they where all back at the house. The rest of the time at the park Ryoma had a habit of keeping one hand holding the hoodie to make sure it wouldn't fall off. Shan told them he had work and wasn't going to be home until early morning so it was only the three of them. Ryoma went straight to bed saying something about not having an afternoon nap. So that only left the two lovers sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Sei, I wish you could tell me about Ryo-Chan. I worry about him." Yukimura moved so his arm was on Syusuke's chest. Deciding to make a move, he push Fuji down gently and straddled his hips.

"Yeah, I hate keeping things from you too. But it's not for me to tell. You will probably find out soon. I think he likes you. It's not like how it was with me. Uncle forced him to tell me." Sei leaned down and captured his lips in a passionate kiss. Fuji's hands started to move up Seiichi's shirt before pulling it off.

"Do you think we should be doing this. Ryo-Chan's here." He spoke as Sei moved to his neck.

"It's fine he's a heavy sleeper."

"Then can we do this upstairs in your room than on the couch?" Sei stood up and dragged Fuji to his room. In a few second of entering Sei wanted to know how he suddenly ended on the bottom. After a heavy make out session and some foreplay, Syu prepared Sei then he entered with the muttering of 'I love you' in his ear.

In the room a couple of doors down Ryoma woke up when he heard a bang of a door being slammed shut. Staying still and listening to see if he could hear anything else he was surprised when he did. It took about 10 minutes before sounds where loud enough reached his ears.

"Sei I love you so much."

"Harder!" He laid there frozen. His curiosity getting the better he got up already in boxers and one of Shan's shirts and made his way to the door where to noise was coming from. Putting his ear to the door he could hear muffled moans. Deciding he had enough he opened the door with force making it hit the wall causing a loud bang to be heard.

Sei froze as Syu being completely caught off guard jump at that and fell out of the bed and on to the floor. He looked like a deer caught in headlight. Sei sat up quickly grabbing the sheets at the bottom of the bed to cover himself while he threw a pillow for the tensai to cover his erection.

Ryoma stood there looking at them trying to sort themselves out. He wasn't shocked. He knew they where making love by the way they described it in the car.

Sei was looking at the door and Fuji had yet to lift his head as he was still trying to fight off the blush. Which was a shock in it self. After all Syusuke made people blush by knowing their secrets not the other way around.

"Ryoma!" Syu hearing that looked up and stared. He could feel his hands gripping the pillow covering him. The ears on Ryoma head in Syu opinion where adorable. It took him a second to remember that it wasn't normal to have ears like that.

"Hey, Ryo-Chan like the ears. Did you have a nice sleep?" Fuji had no idea what he was saying. It was so awkward this situation. It was then the cat forgot he wasn't hiding his appearance. Quickly grabbing his ears on his head and holding them down he looked away in embarrassment. The genius smiled slightly when he caught the tail curling around one of the boys legs. 'So this is the big secret.' He knew now that this was the main reason for his strange behaviour. He didn't know whether to laugh or not. The kid was more embarrassed about his ears and tail than walking in on two people having sex. Syu got up still holding the pillow and quickly grabbed his clothes before walked to the door telling them he was going to have a quick shower.

"Ryo are you alright? Are you embarrassed about your features?" Sei wrapped the sheet around his waist and walk up to the boy. "You know Syu won't tell. He's actually been worried about you." With a nod from Ryoma as he looked at Sei face.

"Does it hurt?" Being caught off guard he answered with a 'huh'. "You know having someone inside you?" Sei quickly covered his mouth to hide the small smile and a blush made its way on to his face. Looking at the boy he still looked scared of being found out but you could see the need to know of information about this particular subject.

"First time hurts the most but still as enjoyable as any other time. Why ask that?" With a shrug from the cat he looked around the room.

"The kind of love you explain is different than the other I know. Master and Shan I love them both but not in the way you and Fuji do it." He started to walk round the room while Sei sat on the edge of the bed. "Shan's like a dad. But my master was different."

"How was he?" The blunette was getting more and more pulled in to what the boy was saying. He was actually opening up and to him of all people.

"Master called it conditioning." Sei felt a cold feeling come over him. "He use to do a series of punishments and then he would give me hugs and tell me how much he loved me. I never understood it."

"Ryoma, did he actually punish you when you did something wrong or was it whenever he felt like it?" The cat paused to think about it.

"Both. But he would always forgive me. That's what I loved most about him. He would never kept a grudge against me." Sei could feel his chest ache with pain for the boy. The conditioning was to make sure the boy was forever loyal. To make him afraid of betrayal. To trust someone with there entire being because of the fear that there was only death without that person.

"Ryoma, please don't get mad but if your master was dead what would you do?"

"I would join him. I don't break promises I made to him. He made me promise to him that even in death, beauty will always be by his side."

Fuji had come out of the bathroom and was standing near the door listening. He could understand some of it but the conditioning of the boy was clear. It made sense. From a young age. Making the kid have a friend like Sam and then the boy dying. His master would pick up the pieces. But this whole beauty thing he had no clue about.

Walking into the room after Ryoma had just told Sei the last sentence he looked to the boy hoping he wasn't showing pity or anything of the sort.

"So Ryo-Chan is a cat?" He thought he might as well ask the question and lighten the mood of the room. After all he had enough time to think about it in the shower, even if the shower was quick.

"Tiger." Sei corrected. Yukimura was surprised that Syu was taking this so well. Sure Sei didn't have much of a reaction to first seeing it but that might of been because he had the cat trying to kill him not long after. Fuji walked over to the kid and looked at the ears.

"How's it possible?"

"DNA injected over so many years." Ryoma muttered. He was getting shy and he thought it was a good time to go back to bed. "I'm going to bed. Night." Both saying night to the boy. As soon as he left Syusuke looked at Sei with a small smile.

"So what is it with this Beauty thing." Looking at each other Sei knew Fuji wasn't going to stop with the questions. So he told him what Shan and Ryoma had both told him so far. "So Shan doesn't know about the thing that Ryoma went though with his master and you didn't tell him."

"Syu I can't break the promise I made with him. Besides I kind of agree. Ryoma is not the only one protective of those he loves. Shan's the same with Ryoma he gets jealous of the kids master. Shan doesn't know about the conditioning and so he think Ryoma purely loves his master more than him."

"Isn't that why you should tell him?" Syu grabbed Sei's hand and sat on the edge of the bed with him.

"But he will still tell Ryo that his master is dead and then he will not take long to follow where his master went." Sei buried his head into Syu shoulder. "Yesterday I ask Ryo about a marking on his foot with beauty written. He said it was his name. In other words..." Syusuke finished off the sentence.

"Some part of him still believes he is Beauty and that he needs to be with his master." With a nod they sat there in silence. Sei went to have a shower and then joined Syu to sleep.
