Chapter 2 Literature and a Secret Invitation.
"If you're going to sleep then make sure it's not in my class!"
Yaten shrugged off the nasty comments and snickers he heard throughout the room. He made it look like he was paying attention to the screaming teacher, but in reality he wasn't. He was pretty much just trying to understand his actions, and that topic would take even longer than the teacher's lash out to understand completly.
Seiya held his head up with his chin in the palm of his hand, elbow on the table. He stood up then, a sly smile on his face with both hands on the desk top, taking a breath before looking in the teacher's direction. "Sensei. Please excuse him.. He couldn't get any sleep last night and we advised him to stay home so not to get yelled at, but he insisted on coming. He can get pretty cranky when he doesn't get his way."
Yaten's eyes flew open and he turned in his chair to face Seiya. Normally Seiya would sit in his seat and laugh. He couldn't figure it out. 'Could.. Could last night possibly have anything to do with..' he thought, unable to place a single piece together.
The teacher stared at Seiya for a minute then waved her hand in the air, dismissing it. Seiya grinned, sitting back down with a wink in Yaten's direction. He leaned in, a hand on the side of his face as he whispered. "You owe me, Yaten."
"Y-yeah..." Yaten whispered in reply, turning back around in his chair. 'Why the hell.. What the hell is going on?..' He shrugged the weird feeling off, sighing as he saw no other way to get this off of his mind than to actually pay attention. And American literature was the last thing he wanted to think about at the time. But there was no choice.
The teacher started to read one of the stories in the literature book. Yaten yawned, turning the page of the 700 page book. His eyes scanned the lines of the pages and he raised a brow, actually finding himself interested. The story took place in the Middle Ages, about a man that loved a woman but she was confused about her feelings and her dedication, pride, and shunned him away. He continued to do all in his power till he won the girl's heart. It was a typical story, the same love scene, same type of plot, blah blah. Nothing original, nothing new. Just different characters and different names. Yaten didn't really think much of it.
Seiya on the other hand, was bewildered beyond belief. This was like a story of his current state with Yaten, ignoring the fact that in Seiya's situation he loved two people -- but could he actually call it love? Lust? Mere affections? He turned the page ahead of the teacher, scanning the words clearly and slowly so he got and soaked up each and every one of them. It was so much like his and Yaten's current position that it was driving him insane.
Moving strands of black hair from his eyes, Seiya looked up in Yaten's direction, quirking a brow before turning his attention back to the textbook. He didn't even notice when the teacher stopped reading and looked up, pulling her small rimmed glasses down a little bit.
"Seiya. Please continue where we left off."
Seiya choked, quickly flipping the page back and looking for the last line he thought he heard the teacher say. He couldn't find it, his mind was at a loss. Suddenly he felt a nudge and a piece of paper fly in his direction. Blinking he opened it and sighed ouy of relief.
Seiyakun --
We're on page 562, paragraph five.. The part where the girl says 'until the end of time.' Stay awake, Kousan! And you owe me an explanation!!
**minako.Grinning, he crumpled the paper up and shoved it in his pocket, finding the part he was supposed to read and then stood up.
"She looked at him, her eyes wavering, unbeliving of the words he had just spoken to her. Was this an illusion? Was she imagining things? Of visions she had only in her wildest dreams? It had to be, because it make no sense no matter how many times she attempted to figure it out. And as for him? He realized his fatal error and quickly cleared his throat, extending his hand to her, the only words escaping his mouth being 'Dinner. You and me tonight. Alone.'"
Seiya sat back down, sighing out of relief. He hated reading aloud. Usagi turned in her seat, a grin on her face. "You actually knew where we were for once? Sugoi.." she whispered, snickering.
Seiya stuck his tongue out at her and winked. "I have my ways, Odango. Try my sources one day."
Usagi blinked, not understanding his words. He chuckled as she turned back around with a finger to her cheek in thought. 'Never change, Odango,' he thought. It then dawned on him. Some other student began to read the next part yet he was rereading the paragraphs he read in his mind. 'Dinner... Wait.. Taiki's not going to be home tonight... Yes! It's my turn to do the food shopping today, this is perfect! Yaten and I can go to Crown all normally, and I can figure out my real emotions.. This is going to be great.'
Seiya pulled a pen out of his pocket and ripped a piece of paper out of his notebook. Thinking for a second, he tried to change his handwriting to the best of his ability, writing something he'd slip in Yaten's locker later.
Yaten,
I have to talk to you about a few things. I have to get these things out of my mind before I go literally insane. I'm sure you're going through the same, if so I am truly sorry. If I hurt you, I am sorry. But I need to get these things off of my chest. Please, meet me at Crown after school. The booth in the back by the large window. Come alone and do not tell anyone.Seiya put the pen down and reread his note about a zillion times before he folded it into a small square and wrote Yaten's name in kanji on the top of it. The bell rang. Seiya grabbed his belongings and rushed first out of the classroom, which probably confused his friends, but he had to. This was his chance. Taking a breath he smiled out of confidence and slipped the note into Yaten's locker, he'd find it later because they had gym next anyway.
He put his books in his locker and grabbed his sneakers. "Hey! Yaten, Taiki, Odango! You three are slow, come onnn! We have gym now!"
"That's EXACTLY why we're slow!" Yaten yelled back, opening his locker. He mumbled under his breath as he put his books inside and pulled his sneakers out, along with the small note with the blue writing.
"Another love letter, Yaten?" Taiki asked, smirking somewhat.
"Kami, yes... I may just throw this one out now without a single--"
"Come on. Let's see what it says.. I'm curious to see how abdly I should laugh at you today." Seiya winked, trying to hide his fear.
Yaten raised an eyebrow and gave in to the looks and stares of four of the Inner Senshi and his two "brothers." He opened the note and slowly read it, eyes widening slightly as he read it once again.
"Well? What's it say?" Seiya inquired.
"Nothing.. Come on!! We're going to be late!" Crumpling the note up before putting it in his pocket, he hurried in the direction of the gymnasium, followed by a confused group of friends. Seiya took a deep breath, holding his head up high in a mix of confidence and nervousness.
"What's his problem?" Taiki said as he chuckled.
Seiya shrugged, trying to hide the fear that was written all over his face and engraved in his midnight blue eyes. "I don't know, Taiki. I don't know."
End of chapter 2.
