Sequel to the songfic - "Lullaby"By Rizukiyatchan Kou Irvine
Notes: Okie. Some yaoi in it. Hey it's snowing in April and I'm stuck in the house and I could swear I've read every fanfic in the country I've been so bored lately. So I figure why not cure it with shounen-ai fun. Enjoy. ^^
Chapter 8 Seiya's Love.
"Yaten! Answer me!" Minako cried, upset that both Yaten and Seiya had hurt Usagi two days before, and that it was SEIYA who kissed Yaten and not HERSELF.
"I don't have to answer any ridiculous accusations from you, Aino.. Why don't you pay more attention to things that involve you? This way, you won't screw up again!" Yaten shouted, referring to her role as Sailorvenus now, without actually saying so.
"What the hell do you mean by that?!" Minako was getting furious, she could see what he was implying. Usagi and Ami started pulling the blonde back, absolutely shocked at her actions.
"Minako-chan, onegai! " Usagi screamed, pulling. "We can talk about this some other time, and you can say you're sorry for MAKING THAT STUFF UP..!"
Yaten twitched. "You heard me. You're a--"
"-- a very peppy person and we wouldn't have you any other way now would we?"
Yaten blinked, feeling his eyebrow twitch subconsciously. There was a warm hand over his mouth, preventing him from continuing the sentence with the words he wanted to use. He recognized that voice. Hell, all of Japan recognized that voice. It belonged to Seiya.
"I'll be honest with you. The reason you saw what you saw, Minako-chan, was the results of a half-drunk game of truth or dare. You can't dare me thinking I won't do it. I had to. I had no choice. I'm just sorry you all had to see be reduce myself to such things."
"S-Seiya! You're supposed to be at home!" Taiki blinked, sweatdropping at the sight of Seiya in school, sick, and willingly.
Seiya shrugged, stepping into the space Yaten and Minako had between them. He turned in Yaten's direction holding in a cough before passing off a wink and turning in Minako's direction. "Yeah, well, I felt bad for leaving you two to suffer the horrors without me. So I decided to make your --" He paused, coughing a few times before he could finish. "-- So I decided to make your day better."
"Oh. Wow. Joy," Yaten mumbled, rolling his eyes. "I'm so happy I'm going to cry."
"I'm so glad!" Cough, cough. "So Minako-chan, sorry for any weird thoughts your brain concocted, ne?" Seiya spoke in a low voice, trying to get her to forget everything that she saw and everything that just happened. He leaned in a bit closer to her, smirking when he saw the dazed look the blonde gave off. "I just chose the wrong time to say dare I guess.." He leaned in a bit more, giving a small peck to Minako's cheek before moving back to standing up straight with a cough.
Minako blinked, sighing happily before collapsing into Usagi and Makoto's arms. If she could have, she would have melted into a puddle, but since she couldn't she did the next best thing and turned bright red while letting out squeal after squeal of delight.
"Sou ne, Seiya-kun!! Next time choose to kiss me in truth or dare not Yaten-kun! Oh no, wait, I'll kiss you both!!!"
Yaten nearly fell over, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah.. sure.."
Usagi, Ami and Makoto looked to each other before stepping over to Taiki and Yaten, while Minako ran out of the room in a fit of giggles. "Taiki-san.. Yaten-kun.. I'm so sorry," Ami whispered.
"Hai, she had no right to say that.." Makoto added.
"Sou ne.." Usagi whispered, very softly. "...whatever you and Seiya-kun do is out of our hands." She nodded, and the three rushed after their blonde haired friend.
Taiki and Yaten could only stare at them as they disappeared down the hall. The crowd that had formed began to leave, but Taiki was certain rumors would start to spread. 'Princess. We have to find you quickly. This may hurt our image uncontrolably.'
"Taiki..." Yaten whispered, blinking.
"Hai?"
"I hate it here."
Taiki couldn't reply. Before he could, Yaten stepped inside the empty room, shutting the door behind him. Taiki ran a hand through his hair, sighing as he turned to face Seiya who stood there in utter shock. If he wasn't coughing he was sure that Seiya stopped breathing, but no, Seiya was standing there with his eyes wide, coughing every now and then.
"Seiya you shouldn't be here."
"How the hell can you say that after what just happened?" Seiya blinked, coughing roughly.
"Easily! Seiya listen to yourself.."
"Taiki, you listen to yourself. Yaten and Minako would have gotten into a huge fight and who knows how many rumors would have spread if I didn't do that. How would that help us in finding her.."
Taiki sighed, nodding. "You have a point, Seiya. I just hope there aren't any rumors going around."
"Well, then.." Seiya ran a hand through his hair. "Go check on the odangos. As you go make sure no one's saying anything."
"And what will you do?"
Cough. "I'm gonna check on the shrimp."
**********
Taiki was long gone by now, but Seiya was still in the same spot. Staring at the closed door to his homeroom which he had to go into in a few minutes, or eventually. But that wasn't his main concern now. Now, his main concern was how to ease into the room and calmed the one inside down. Well.. it wasn't really his fault.. He had TRIED to tell Taiki and Yaten about the kiss and what the Senshi might think, but it was too late. But then again, he had no idea Minako would reply as she did. But then again..
He knew it had made a mistake kissing Yaten in front of Usagi. But did he actually love Yaten? Did he actually love Usagi? He didn't know, honestly. Yesterday, he could safely assure that it was Yaten he loved. A week or so ago, he could safely assure that it was Usagi he loved. And now..
No. He couldn't continue this. He couldn't love Yaten. He was actually a girl, after all, and so was he. They were childhood friends, Senshi, allies, bodyguards of Princess Kakyuu.. He could not fall in love with Yaten. It would be like.. breaking a Kinmokusei law or something. And if Kakyuu, Odango, any of the other solar system Senshi or anyone from Kinmoku knew about it, they would have hell to pay. Especially on earth when they could find Kakyuu.. And their image was what brought bread on the table, AND a hope Kakyuu would appear. Will appear.
With all this considered, he took a breath and slid the door open, entering the room before closing the door behind him. He looked around, easily spotting his silver haired comrade leaning against the wall, staring out the window.
Seiya moved his head to the side, coughing repeatedly before taking a few steps forward. "You okay?"
"Surprised you have the guts to ask me that."
Seiya winced, coughing once again before moving forward until he was face to face with Yaten, who was averting all attempts of eye contact whatsoever. "Yeah, I guess you have a right to talk to me like that. I did just yell at you for no damn good reason yesterday."
"Ah, you admit it?"
"Yaten stop making this so hard!"
"Well if you would shut up and stop letting your ego take over then maybe I would!" Yaten turned his hair slightly to face Seiya, eyes narrowed. But then he blinked, eyes softening a little bit. "Why are you here?"
"Huh? Now you're acting weird."
"No, you still have a fever. Being out of bed can't be good for you."
"Why do you care?"
Yaten raised a brow, shrugging before turning his gaze back to the outside world beyond the window. "Don't know. Guess I don't."
Seiya could feel his heart smacking him internally, and so he internally cursed himself out. "Okay, so that came out wrong."
"You think?" Yaten rolled his eyes. "I felt guilty 'cause it's mainly my fault you're sick in the first place."
Cough, cough. "No, it's not. I chose to stay like that."
"And why the hell did you decide that?"
Cough. "'Cause I... I.. I wanted to help you.."
"Yeah, you sure told me that afterwards."
"Stop making this so difficult!"
"What, you want me to just smile, nod and agree everytime you're upset?!"
"No.. I would never want you to fake your feelings for my sake."
"Well th--" Yaten went quiet, crossing his arms over his chest with a puff. He kept his stare outside, not wanting to look at Seiya at all. As Minako was yelling at him, he finally understood why he kissed Seiya back. It wasn't for pity. It wasn't just 'cause Seiya did it. The first time Seiya did it and she woke up.. to be honest to herself, it scared her. It scared the shit out of her. Because in a way she liked it. In a way. And to make sure it wasn't the dreamworld that was tormenting her, she followed him and kissed him back. And it was conclusive. It wasn't a dream. She did like it. And she longed for more.
And was that so wrong? He obviously loved her, why did she have to make it so hard for him if she wanted more? Because she, or he for this moment, wasn't used to these emotions. Never had them, never knew what they were like or anything. And what good would that do to the situation of he said he loved him ba--
"Are you even listening to me..?"
Yaten blinked, snapping out of his thoughts. He turned his head slowly to the side, eyes moving to meet with Seiya's midnight blue ones. He looked so terrible, so miserable. Subconsciously, Yaten's trembling hand moved up, placing itself upon Seiya's left cheek. "Stop holding in your coughs. That's not good for you."
"Why do you care so suddenly..?" Seiya whispered, shocked to have Yaten touch him even just a little like this. If only..
"Because it's like I was saying.. You were helping me before yourself so this is partly my fault and.."
Seiya took a breath, placing his index finger over Yaten's lips. "Shhh.." He didn't notice how pale the shorter bishounen had become nor how wide his eyes were in fear. All he knew was he had to get his mind to leave him alone. He had to get his heart to stop nagging at him daily. He slowly moved his finger from Yaten's lips and traced his ally's jawbone with it before going down his neck and stopping at his shoulder. He then leaned in a little bit, his mind yelling and screaming for him to stop but his heart begging and pleading with him to continue.
"S-Seiya..what are you--" Yaten tried to say, but he was cut off as Seiya's lips made contact with his own. he felt his breath get caught in his throat as the kiss continued, he couldn't stop it, he couldn't breathe. And honestly.. he didn't care. 'But why? Why am I allowing this to.. no, no wait this is messed up! We're both guys right now..and and.. oh Kami no this is wrong, this is.. this is nice..'
Seiya felt himself celebrating internally as he wrapped an arm around the smaller boy's waist while his other hand stayed on his shoulder. He could hear his ally's heart beating so rapidly he could swear it was going to burst. But then he opened his right eye partially to see his reaction, he could have passed out. Yaten's eyes were now closed and his hand was slowly, shakily moving toward the one that Seiya had on his shoulder while the other was still resting against his cheek.
'Kami, don't let this end,' Seiya thought, trying to settle internal emotions and thoughts as the kiss progressed.
And so it did continue for a good period of time, but Seiya was doing most of the actions. Yaten was standing like a stone statue, too scared and full of conflicting thoughts to decide on any actions. But he could feel Seiya's hands rubbing his back and running through his hair, and the scary thing was he wasn't protesting it. Why? He didn't know. And that was... scarier than Galaxia's current threat..
"All right, there aren't any rumors going on so you two can calm down, and Minako-san has ca-- ca....calmed.."
Yaten's eyes flew open. 'Oh no.' He pulled back, placing a hand over his mouth in shock as he looked to the doorway. Seiya blinked, wondering why Yaten pulled away so suddenly. And was about to ask until he saw Taiki standing in front of the closed door, staring at the two in shock.
"God.. Taiki, how long were you there!?" Seiya screamed, his voice straining from not breathing normally for so long, and from held in coughs and a sore throat.
"Long enough to begin to q-question.."
"Che...Taiki, I.. Yaten..I'm.. I'm sorry.." Seiya turned around trembling, but when his eyes reached Yaten's form he thought he was going to die. The idol beside him had his eyes closed, his hand still over his mouth, just...standing. Not moving for anything, but Seiya could tell. He was fighting tears.
'Oi.. why's it so...hot in here....'
Seiya blinked, placing a hand to his forehead suddenly. He felt his fever had gone up, and now was the time when he realized he probably passed his cold over to Yaten now through that kiss. But that was all right. They could stay home together now or s-- 'okay. Nevermind. Shut up.'
"Seiya, you don't feel good do you..?"
Seiya blinked, hearing Taiki -- well sorta. He heard half of what Taiki said. "Huh, hmm..?"
He didn't say anything as Taiki reached out, placing his hand on Seiya's forehead. He sighed in annoyance, pulling his hand back as he shook his head. "I knew it. Your fever went up. Seiya you shouldn't have come."
"It... It was worth it.."
"All right, well -- it was... it was what?.."
"Just go to the infirmary..Seiya.."
Seiya winced. That was the first thing Yaten had said since Taiki caught them kissing. "All right.. All right. I'll go."
Taiki nodded, opening the sliding door as the bell rang. "Get your things, let's hurry before the teacher comes in."
Nodding, Seiya reached down for his belongings, but his eyes widened as he saw Yaten bend down and grab his briefcase and extend it out to him. "Yaten.."
"You're weird when you're sick," he whispered. "Go home and get better."
"I.. I..." Seiya blinked, nodding hesitantly. "Take good notes for me, squirt."
Yaten just nodded, taking his seat as a bunch of students entered the room. Seiya sighed, exiting the room and following Taiki down the hall. 'Sorry squirt, but I can't keep that promise to you. I'm.. I.. I want.. I don't know what I want. But I feel so bad. And I actually.. can't stand the idea of not being near you.. So I won't.'
Sighing, Yaten pulled out a notebook deciding to keep his promise to Seiya. He felt his hands shaking, but he couldn't stop them. He couldn't shake the feeling that overcame him. It was...petrifying. But at the same time pleasing.. for some odd reason he couldn't understand, he missed feeling Seiya's lips against his own. Before he could finish reflecting on the moment that would probably change his life forever, he saw a blur of blonde and hands slamming down on his desktop, snapping him out of his daze. He looked up, and saw that the owner of the hands was once again, Aino Minako, and she had a killer grin on her face. She leaned in a bit, batting her eyelashes as she whispered so only Yaten could hear,
"So so? Is he a good kisser? Did you like it? Did you kiss back? I want details!!"
