The shoji doors softly slid open and Aizen padded into the empty, organized room with a sigh.
Aizen: I need to go out or I might actually lose it.
He said running a hand on his short,brown hair before smiling weakly and walking over to the bathroom where he stripped off his uniform and got into the shower,he scrubbed soap all over his body and shampoo on his hair before turning on the water and enjoying the warmth, eyes closed,with a soft, pleasurable sigh,his mind filling with a soft, soothing voice...
Flashback
"Cross my heart and hope to die...I love you with my whole life, Ai-kun."
The teenager said leaning on to the strong chest behind him, enjoying his lover's warmth as the older circled his arms around him. The two were in a huge bathtub, enjoying their bath when Aoi linked their fingers together. Ai smiled softly.
"What's that all about? You rarely say that to me. So,what brought this on hm?"
The older man questioned in a sleepy voice,they had been quiet all this time afterall and the atmosphere was making the doctor drowsy. The teenager sighed softly and closed his eyes, letting beautiful long lashes brush against his cheekbones.
"It's just...my mother says you're not good for me. We had a big fight today and I just...I ran out of the house and came here. She's been calling ever since and I just... I'm so mad at her, can't she see? You're the most perfect person in the world! You're so nice and sweet all the time...and you take care of me. I try telling her that but she just won't get it. It's frustrating..."
A frown adorned the older man's face...
"You had a fallout with your mother? That explains why you're spending the night here."
"I'm not going back to that house you know? I don't like the things she says about you. I'm moving in here,with you."
"No."
"No? What do you mean? You don't want to live with me?"
The boy asked in a broken voice and Ai turned him so they were facing each other,he gave the boy a look that told him he was being serious and Aoi sighed.
"Don't give me that, your mother is right you know?"
"She is?"
Grey eyes stared at him in confusion and Ai smiled softly before nodding.
"I'm not good for you,I don't think anyone out there."
"What nonsense are you going on about? You're not my mother,you know? I won't hesitate to smack you."
Ai chuckled and shook his head...
"Che, always ready to fight ne Aoi-kun? You really need to manage that short temper of yours...besides,you should listen to your mother. I think she's trying to look out for you."
"Yeah,but-"
"No,buts. She's your mother,she knows what's best for you. You... should go back home and apologize."
Ai finished with a sad look and Aoi stared at him softly before sighing and looking away.
"Okay,I hear you. I'm going to go back home and apologize but not today."
Brown eyes stared at the boy in shock and the teenager smiled brightly and hugged him.
"Today, I'm all yours! You didn't think I would leave just like that did you?"
Ai's lips formed a frown and brown hair covered his eyes, clearing all signs of emotion as the boy tightened his hold on him...
"But if she thinks I'm breaking up with you, she's got another thing coming. And..."
The teenager looked up,eyes softening...
"You didn't say you love me back,you idiot..."
Ai felt warmth rush over his body...no one had ever put him first like that before. Choosing to stay with him, only this boy. Only this boy. Ai hugged the boy back,a wide grin took over his features as he declared happily.
"I love you more,you knucklehead."
"Cross your heart and hope to die?"
"Cross my heart...and hope to die."
End flashback
Brown eyes fluttered open softly and a small,sad smile touched the young man's lips...
Aizen: Cross my heart and hope to die.
He sighed and got out of his shower, wrapping himself with a towel. After he dried himself, dressed up, brushed his teeth and had his dinner. The man flickered the lights off and walked out of the room,shoji doors closing softly behind him...
