Episode 39: Kaoru, Aishiteru

Toshiya stared at the ceiling illuminated by the moon outside. Actually, he glared at it. It's too difficult, especially with the presence of the younger look-alike on the other mattress beside him, to not glare at everything. He sniffed. He could smell Miyabi's cologne in the air. He turned to his side and glared tat Miyabi, who had his back to the blue head. Toshiya spoke up. "You smell."

Miyabi turned to his side and glared back. "At least I smell good."

"You stink like fish."

"You stink like fish crap."

Toshiya stuck his tongue out.

Miyabi rolled his eyes and turned back around.

The blue head pouted, then sighed as he continued to stare at the ceiling. Now it was quiet. Too quiet. But he could tell Miyabi wasn't asleep. After a few moments, he bit his lip. He just couldn't hold in his question anymore.

"ne." Toshiya spoke. "Do you..."

Miyabi looked at him. "Do I what?"

Toshiya cleared his throat. "Do you like Kaoru?"

"Of course I like Kaoru." Miyabi blinked. "Why'd you ask?"

"Oh. Well, you know…" Toshiya trailed off. "…why do you and Kaoru get along so well?"

Miyabi thought Toshiya's questions were strange, but answered anyway. "Because we have so much in common."

"Why do you like him?"

"Well,… he's a very nice person. When someone has a problem, he won't hesitate to try to help… why are you asking me this?"

"I'm just wondering."

"Okay…" Miyabi got up to his elbow. "… then I'll ask YOU a question: why do you like Hakuei?"

It was Toshiya's turn to blink. What an uncomfortable question. "What do you mean by 'like' ?"

Miyabi clenched his jaw in anger. "Don't play stupid. You know what I'm talking about."

Toshiya furrowed his eyebrows. "I… I don't think I like him the same way I used to…"

Miyabi immediately sat up and glared intensely. "Then why are you going out with him?!"

Toshiya got up. "Miyabi! We broke up!!"

"YOU WHAT?"

"We broke up."

"You're lying." Miyabi shook his head in disbelief. "You're lying to me! Why is everyone lying to me?!"

"Shut up!" Tohsiya yelled. "No one's lying to you! Hakuei dumped me!"

Miyabi stared blankly at him. "i know you're lying. Hakuei adores you with all his heart. He had no reason to lost you."

Toshiya closed his eyesm then slowly opened them again. "That's why he dumped me… he told me he loves me…"

Miyabi winced. He knew about Hakuei's feelings, but it hurt when someone said it.

"But he wanted me to be happy. So we're over…" Toshiya stared at him. "If you don't believe me, ask Kaoru, since he's the only person you trust."

Toshiya gave up and crawled back to bed.

Miyabi simply touched his head. He was starting to get a headache.

*****

A few doors down…

"Turn in off."

Kaoru turned to Hakuei and shook his head. "NEVER>"

"I can't sleep if it ticks too loud." He pointed at Kaoru's alarm clock. 

"That's your problem."

Hakuei growled. "You put that thing as close to me as possible! You did that on purpose, didn't you?!"

"Now why would I do something THAT childish?"

"Alright! That's it!" Hakuei threw his covers down and marched toward the clock. 

"Hey! Hey! HEY!!" Kaoru immediately got up, but it was too late. Hakuei grabbed the clock and threw it out the window.

"YOU BITCH!" Kaoru yelled.

Hakuei gave a smug and triumphant smile. "That's what you get for messing with me."

Kaoru sneered and grabbed Hakuei's pack of cigarettes conveniently placed on the dresser table beside him.

Hakuei's eyes widened. "Don't you dare!"

Kaoru smiled evily as he slowly walked to the window. "Don't dare to do what?"

"Fuck you!"

Kaoru raised an eyebrow and grinned wider. "OH-hohohoho…"

Hakuei shuddered. Having Kaoru grin like a madman and laugh like an evil anime villain was scary. After a few moments, Kaoru pulled his arm back and threw the cigars far out the window.

Hakuei yelled and watched in horror as the tiny box disappeared in the falling snow. Then, the turned hastily around and snarled at Kaoru like a mad wild wolf. {Ne… Hakuei reminds me of a wolf… don't you think so? ~yk2~~}

Kaoru glared back. "That's what YOU get for messing with ME!"

Hakuei stormed toward him and pushed him roughly. "Rat face!"

Kaoru pushed him back. "Dumb blonde."

Pretty soon, the men were wrestling, scratching, and biting each other on the tatami floor. Suddenly, the door opened, but the two men didn't notice. Shinya stood there with a n annoyed look on his face. Die stood behind him, grinning amusedly at the scene of two grown men fighting like playground children.

Shinya and Die stepped in, and Shinya slammed the door shut.

Die winced.

Kaoru and Hakuei stopped. After they took notice of Shinya, they abruptly stood up and looked sheepishly on the ground.

Shinya glared his trademark glare. "Some people next door are trying to sleep!! Why can't you both keep quiet and not disturb anyone with your childishness!!"

Both men winced. "Gomendasai."

Kaoru looked up. "You guys are next door?"

Shinya nodded. "Yes. And we'd appreciate some peaceful sleep!"

Kaoru raised an eyebrow and looked from Shinya to Die suspiciously. " 'peaceful sleep'?"

Shinya turned crimson. "Yes. Sleep."

Die blushed and coughed. 

Kaoru nodded slowly. "Ah… I see."

"So keep quiet, ok?" Die said.

"But he's being an ass." Hakuei pointed to kaoru. "He threw away my cigars!"

"Man, that's low." Die commented.

Kaoru frowned. "He threw away my clock!"

Shinya crossed his arms over his chest. "That's worth more than a pack of unhealthy cancer-causing sticks."

"What are you talking about? I can't live without those sticks!" Hakuei insisted.

"You started it" Kaoru retorted.

Shinya gave an exhasperated sigh. He walked to the bathroom across the hallway, and walked back into the room with a roll of toilet paper. He started unrolling it so the room was divided in two.

"Here." He said. "One side is Kaoru's. One side is Hakuei's. Make a note to yourselves: don't cross the line. I hear anymore nonsense, you'll have to deal with me." He walked out the door. "Come on, Die-kun."

Die gave Kaoru and Hakuei a shrug and went off.

*****

Next day…

Die watched as everyone placed their luggages in the dilapidated van. It was amazing how one week came nad went so quickly. It was strange, but he was surely going to miss this place. He turn to his side and stared at the beauty. He was certainly going to miss him. He clasped his hand on the slender one and kissed it. Shinya looked at him strangely and blushed. Then his expression turned sad.

"Die-kun…" he said softly.

Die held him around the waist. "Shinchan?"

"Your'e leaving.."

"I know." He kissed him on the cheek.

"I don't want you to leave." Shinya said. He was never the sentimental type. But he didn't mind that right now.

"Don't worry." He stroked his cheek as he noticed the sad expression on his face. "Shinchan, please don't be sad."

Shinya felt his eyes glaze with tears. "I'm sorry. I can't help it."

"Remember what you told Levin? I'm physically leaving you, but I'll always be in your heart, ne?" Die smiled sweetly.

Shinya couldn't help smiling back and kissing his lips again and again. Die kissed back with equal passion.

"Ahem!" a voice cleared its throat purposefully.

Die and Shinya broke up and blushed.

Kyo and the restof the students were all in the van, ready to leave.

"Hurry up and say your goodbye's!" Kyo exclaimed.

"Shut up, Kyo!" Die yelled, but he was smiling broadly. He turned to his lover and gave a quick kiss on the lips. "See you later, Shinchan."

"See you later, Die-kun." Shinya said softly.

Die nodded and reluctantly jumped into the van and shut the door. It was going to be one long ride home.

*****

Kaoru sat in the middle seat of the taxi and felt the tension in the air. Toshiya sat to his right and Miyabi sat to his left. They decided to take the cab together because it was cheaper. He was on his way to the train station while the other two were on their way to the airport.

Kaoru could feel the malicious eyebeams the two bishounen were giving each other. There was nothing he could do about it, so might as well relax. He sighed out loud.

Toshiya gasped. "SEE? You're making Kaoru sick from your ugly-fish cologne."

"What are you talking about?!" Miyabi snapped. "I smell GOOD! Right, Kaoru-kun?"

"Umm.... ^^;"

"Come here, smell me." Miyabi grabbed Kaoru's head and pushed his face on his chest. "Don't I smell better than that brat?"

"…Well…I guess…" Kaoru blushed.

"HEY!" Toshiya protested and grabbed Kaoru's arm and pulled him to his side. He hugged him tightly. "Don't taint my Kao-kao with your filth!!"

"I am NOT filthy! And Kaoru's MY friend too!!" Miyabi pulled Kaoru's bony arm.

Toshiya shrieked in irritation and pulled Kaoru's other arm. "WELL! Kaoru's MY ROOMMATE!!!"

Miyabi: "Brat!"

Toshiya: "Dirt!"

Kaoru: O_O;; "ano…"

A tug of war took place and soon, Kaoru felt as if his arms were going out of his sockets. " …Guys…"

Suddeny, the taxi pulled to an abrupt stop, which sent the 3 men flying off their seats {Tsk. Tsk. No seatbelts?}

"What the fuck?" Toshiya exclaimed.

"We're at the trainstation." The cab driver announced.

"Oh." 

"Alright. Thanks." Kaoru handed the driver cash and got out the door.

"Cab driver-san. Can you wait here?" Miyabi requested. "I've got to go to the restroom for a bit." He got out the car as soon as the driver nodded.

Toshiya stared then said. "Me, too." And stumbled out.

Miyabi immediately went to the Men's Room, but Toshiya quickly spotted Kaoru sitting by his gate on a bench. He sat beside his roommate, which startled Kaoru.

"What are you doing here?" Kaoru asked.

Toshiya pouted.

Kaoru bit his lip. "Don't even start whining that I don't want you here because I don't mind. I'm just wondering what you're doing here. Shouldn't you be in the taxi on the way to the airport?"

Toshiya crossed his legs. "My flight's not in two hours. I have time to kill."

"What about Miyabi?"

~Of course, it's always Miyabi, isn't it?~ Toshiya snorted. "He's in the men's room."

Kaoru sighed. "Don't kill each other on the way to the airport, OK?"

"I'll try." Toshiya said, slightly pouting.

A train passed by, then silence loomed over the two men. Kaoru started whistling nonchalantly as Toshiya sought the words he wanted to say.

"NE, kaoru." Toshiya began.

Kaoru stopped whistling. "Nani?"

"Ano… remember what I asked you at the Terachi's?"

"Totchi, you asked me a lot of things…"

"I know…"

"Which question?"

Toshiya bit his lip nervously and twisted it up. "After you played poker with Koji and Magumi, I talked with you about something…"

"Ah! Now I remember! You're having relationship problems!"

"Not really… I…. "

"Well, I would tell you what I've told you before. Tell him how you feel."

"It's not that easy…"

"It's only difficult if you say it's difficult."

"But Kaoru…"

"Hold your head high."

"Kaoru…"

"Don't' lose your confidence!"

"Kaoru!" Toshiya exclaimed and stood up.

Kaoru blinked confusedly.

"Kaoru…" Toshiya pursed his lips, then opened them slowly. "….Aishiteru……"
