Rachel: so how would it happen
Rachel: yuuta and hiroshi are still away during round 2 right?
Rachel: yuuta does not watch rwt lol
Kim: maybe when Yuuta gets back
Kim: Keigo is a bit more quiet and contemplative than usual
Kim: and notices that Wakato has been freed form his slavery
Rachel: well the problem is it would take yuuta a bit to notice just because he had the first honeymoon and the love declaration
Rachel: unless wakato was acting weird
Kim: I think Wakato is pissier than usual during this period
Rachel: and in particular to keigo?
Rachel: or just pissy to everyone?
Kim: and Keigo has been stewing over all of this
Kim: and I think finally decides to talk to Yuuta
Kim: since he's his friend
Kim: and he trusts his opinion
Rachel: well is wakato bitchier to keigo in particular
Rachel: or just everyone
Kim: I think everyone but I think Ko wants him to be really avoidant of Keigo
Rachel: cause if he tried to be bitchy to yuuta you so know yagyuu puts him in his place lol
Kim: resist temptation and all that
Rachel: maybe keigo is sort of down and so skipped clubs and is in the living room watching tv
Rachel: and yuuta can come home, having stopped off to do some grocery shopping
Rachel: not having realized keigo wasn't going to club
Rachel: that way, yuuta might even initiate and would have reason to be more concerned
Kim: that works
Kim: Keigo can be a little sulky and lost in thought
Rachel: cause yuuta has specifically said he worries that keigo watched too much tv
Keigo: *sighs and stares at the tv, completely uninterested in what is on it. Life has been rather weird and distracting as of late*
Yuuta: *fumbles for several seconds with the key, several bags of groceries twisted in one hand while the others lie at his feet, finally manages to unlock the door and shuffle inside*
Yuuta: *temporarily places his bags in the genkan while he toes off his penny loafers, and frowns slightly at the sounds coming from inside wondering if Kamio forgot to shut his radio off again, purses his lips as he walks towards the living room, blinking in surprise at Keigo lying across the couch* Keigo?
Keigo: *didn't notice the door opening and jumps a little as he realizes Yuuta is staring at him*
Keigo: *smiles a little and looks a bit sad* I didn't feel like dealing with the usual crowd so I just came home today.
Yuuta: *blinks a few more times, biting anxiously on his lower lip* I wish I'd known, I would have invited you to go grocery shopping with me. *attempts to give a friendly smile, but worry keeping it from being close to convincing*
Yuuta: *fiddles a bit anxiously with his tie, guilt rising within him* Would you ummm like to talk? *blushes darkly as he swallows hard*
Keigo: *smile actually turns genuine at Yuuta's concern* Well.....
Keigo: I guess I could use some friendly help.
Yuuta: *brows furrowing for a second* I can try to help, I umm don't know if I'm terribly good with advice. *blushes laughing a bit self-consciously* Usually, I'm the one asking it of others, like ummm you.
Yuuta: *fingers still squeezing the end of his tie* I uhh just need to put the groceries away first.
Keigo: *gets up off the couch smoothly* I can help you.
Keigo: *has finally learned like most normal children do at an early age to help out others with the chores*
Yuuta: *nods, glad for the help having bought more broccoli than he intended because of a sale, hefts up some of the bags the plastic digging into his hand* Thank you, Keigo.
Yuuta: *trying to hide a frown at the sight of dark rings under Keigo's eyes* It's uhh, not my fault, is it? *blushes*
Keigo: *takes the rest of the bags and starts to move into the kitchen* No, it's not your fault, Yuuta.
Yuuta: *trying to hide a sigh of relief, eyes very earnest as he stares at Keigo from the entranceway to the kitchen* Promise?
Keigo: *grins* I promise.
Yuuta: *an actual smile breaking out finally, before he opens the refrigerator door and starts to put the groceries away, grateful when Keigo starts to hand him some of the items* I really do hope I can help you then, Keigo. *sucking on his lower lip* I do try.
Keigo: Of course you do. *really has no idea where a lot of this stuff goes, so just starts handing it over to Yuuta to properly put away*
Yuuta: It would be nice if everyone realized that. *blushes a bit from his grumbling* I'm sorry, Wakato-san has just been horrible since we came back. *folding his arms irritably across his chest* One would think he could at least be grateful to Hiroshi-san!
Keigo: *winces a little* About that.....
Yuuta: Hmmmm? *smiles a bit at a job well done before collecting all the used plastic bags to place in the recycling* I hope Wakato-san hasn't asked you to intercede after what he said the other night. *smile sinking into a well pronounced frown as his arms re-cross in annoyance*
Keigo: *a little confused* No, he hasn't.
Keigo: But.... *sighs, trying to figure out how to get this out* I think a lot of his current bad mood is my fault. I'm sorry.
Yuuta: *blinking in surprise* Your fault? I think not.
Yuuta: *still grumbling a bit* It's his own fault that he doesn't recognize when other are doing him favors. *a hint of righteous indignation filtering into his tone* Wakato-san ought to be willing to buy Hiroshi-san a new book as a thank you.
Yuuta: He can budget himself at least one paycheck!
Keigo: *can't help but find Yuuta's ranting cute*
Keigo: *deep breath* Let's say someone you know came to realize that they were extremely attracted to someone who was not currently available, even if the relationship they are in is shaky at best....
Keigo: And that said person acted a bit out of character due to this silly crush and hmm maybe a little pleading and managed to get what they wanted from their object of desire for a night...
Yuuta: *blinks for a second trying to think through what Keigo has just divulged, brow wrinkling* ...Is Akira-kun after your father again, Keigo? err umm I mean uhhh *blushes darkly* I'm sure your parent's marriage is very good. *swallows anxiously*
Yuuta: *biting his lip pensively trying to figure out who else Kamio might have thrown himself at, again.*
Yuuta: Akira-kun hasn't decided he likes Masaharu-san has he?
Keigo: It's not Kamio at all.
Keigo: *sighs and glances around, looking a little embarassed before shaking his head, resolve now stamped all over his pretty face* It was me.
Yuuta: *blinking stopping in mid-track towards the living room* You...
Yuuta: You... *thinking of who Keigo might have done something with who is involved with someone else before a light bulb suddenly switches on* YOU AND WAKATO-SAN?!?!?!?
Keigo: I know it sounds a bit crazy, considering how frustrating he is and his questionable fashion choices, but once you get past that....
Keigo: *kinda horrified at that last sentence* I don't sound lovesick, do I?
Yuuta: *swallows hard, feeling his sense that someday Niou and his brother will realize their own love strengthening at Keigo's description of Wakato* I uhhhh *still a bit a agape and aghast*
Yuuta: *voice low* You had sex with Wakato-san!?!?!
Rachel: (cause come on, to Yuuta frustrating and bad fashion sense==his brother)
Keigo: Yes, and it was rather good...but that's not really the problem. It's the whole liking eating ice cream with him that's been disturbing me.
Keigo: He can actually be intelligent, as crazy as that sounds.
Yuuta: *dumbly cheeks as red as the peppers they put away earlier* You had sex.. with Wakato-san?
Yuuta: *voice squeaking a bit* And you uhh like him?
Yuuta: But uhhh.. *playing with the end of his tie with nervous energy* I thought.. Akira-kun said they loved one another and.. and..
Yuuta: Akira-kun doesn't know, does he? *eyes huge*
Keigo: *sighs dramatically* No, and I would like to keep it that way.
Keigo: Not so much for me, but since Wakato asked me to and I am sharing this with you because I needed to talk about it with someone I trust.
Yuuta: *nods head still stunned, bites down harder on his lower lip* ..but.. but.. you umm like.. Wakato-san.. and he must sort of like you, if he.. he.. *waves hands, color bright*
Keigo: He's fairly determined to not like me.
Yuuta: *trying not to shout but failing miserable* BUT YOU HAD SEX!
Yuuta: And.. and Wakato-san's not like Akira-kun, he's smarter!
Yuuta: *covers his mouth as his cheeks turn apple red at his audacity for saying what he's thought for so long, dropping his face*
Keigo: *eyebrows raise* You don't really have to like someone to have sex with them. Or you don't if you don't treat it with the same reverance that you do, Yuuta.
Keigo: *is trying not to mope* How to do people handle being attracted to someone who doesn't want them back all the time?
Yuuta: But you do, Keigo, at least, I think you do. When you don't you.. *blushes redder looking down at his feet, voice barely above a whisper* ..when you don't it tears you up inside with guilt. *hands making fists at his side* I've seen Akira-kun.
Yuuta: *voice low, cheeks still burning* Umm haven't you ever, Keigo, umm .. *closing his eyes and digging his nails into the palm of his hands* when I umm broke up with you.. *choking it out*..you umm handled that.. mostly. *wishing for the moment he could sink through the floor*
Keigo: You found someone you love, Yuuta, but I'm pretty sure you did and still like me.
Keigo: And while it was all for the best and I am happy for you, it did hurt. But it feels a lot different than this whole mess I have gotten myself into.
Yuuta: *voice soft* I do like you, Keigo, just not like.. not like that. But I..
Yuuta: *voice getting stronger* Wakato-san has to like you, just a bit at least really, I mean why else.. why else would he *wiggles his hands*
Keigo: My amazingly hot body and vast fortune?
Kim: (and yes, he said that with a straight face)
Yuuta: *struck dumb for several seconds* That's not possible, Keigo! Wakato-san would have to be a horrible person to do that and.. and.. then you wouldn't like him!
Yuuta: It does hurt though, when you like someone and you don't think they notice you.
Keigo: I don't like it at all.
Yuuta: *tentatively reaches out and touches Keigo's arm* I..I bet he does notice you though, the people you like always do.
Keigo: Even if he does, and he's pretty adamant he doesn't, it's not enough. I did a bad thing, Yuuta, and I would do it again if given the chance. *frowns*
Keigo: *sighs and pats Yuuta's hand* I can be selfish sometimes too.
Yuuta: *frowning* No more selfish than the rest of us, really. We all.. we all want someone who likes us. Just as we are.
Yuuta: *doing his best to try to be comforting despite still having a hard time understanding why Keigo would want Wakato* ..Wakato-san, he.. he did just as bad a thing. He's not stupid.
Yuuta: *tentatively* Do you think.. *swallows* Maybe.. maybe I ought to make us some tea and we can talk somewhere else. I'd feel horrible if Echizen came home while we were talking. My room is clean, if you like...
Keigo: I think I would like some tea. *smiles a little* If it wouldn't be too much trouble.
Yuuta: No, of course not. *pats Keigo's arm gently* Let me just make some and you can umm wait in my room. *smiles considerately*
Yuuta: *gives one more backwards glance to Keigo before walking to the kitchen to start some tea*
Keigo: *sighs for the umpteenth time and heads off to Yuuta's insanely neat room to go and sit*
Yuuta: *spends some time in the kitchen bustling around making tea, placing a small tea pot, a selection of teas, lots of sugar, some milk and two of the nicer tea cups on the tray, walking carefully back to his room trying not to spill*
Yuuta: *smiles kindly as he enters, putting the tray down on his perfectly neat desk* I wasn't sure which type you'd want so..
Keigo: *takes his tea cup and goes about making his tea, which involves a lot of sugar and some cream* Thank you.
Yuuta: *adds all the remaining sugar in the bowl into his own cup as well as some tea, stirring it quietly without sipping, sitting carefully in seiza position* So ummm you really like Wakato-san? *blushing* ..like that?
Yuuta: *thinking to himself and trying not to say it that Keigo can do better*
Keigo: I don't like him like him....*frowns into his teacup and sounded absolutely unconvincing in his denouncement of Wakato*
Keigo: I don't want to like him, it's really underamusing and more trouble than it should be worth.
Yuuta: *starting to sigh in relief until he hears Keigo's second sentence and face crumples in thought* Do you umm want to be his *blushing more* boyfriend? *doing his best to try and rationally examine things*
Yuuta: Anou... Keigo, when did you both.. *waves his hands*
Keigo: Well, the first time was a really spur of the moment thing, he was being less aggravating than usual and we were watching the Thornbirds and he dared to call me predictable!
Keigo: And then the second time...*pauses to sip some tea and think about the night at the hotel* Well, maybe I did put forth a little more effort than was warranted....I highly doubt Wakato could stand being my boyfriend. He barely tolerates me.
Yuuta: *drumming his fingers against his tea cup anxiously while Keigo speaks* But he tolerated you enough to.. to.. *RED as further realization strikes* TWICE?!?! YOU HAD SEX TWICE?!?!? *blinking quickly*
Yuuta: *swallowing a few seconds before trying to choke down some tea, a bit shocked by this further revelation* Anou... Keigo, are you sure he.. maybe he does like you.. just a little... because twice can't be an accident!
Keigo: Well, it was more than twice, but on two seperate occasions....
Keigo: *coughs a little and looks rather annoyed with himself* I really don't know.
Keigo: But it is all rather moot, since even if I have been bad, I am not low enough to outright steal him like some horrible shoujo manga villainess.
Yuuta: *taking another large sip of sugar flavored with tea and coughing at the shoujo manga reference* But he's.. he's deceiving Akira-kun! *brows darkening* It's not right. *crosses his arms* ..if he.. twice with you.. that's not true love! I'd never...
Yuuta: *ducking his head a second* Keigo, you're really not still very upset with me for breaking up with you, are you? Wakato-san.. he... well *sighs* and tomorrow is Aniki's birthday.
Yuuta: *laughing self-depreciatingly* but I guess my problems aren't so big really.
Keigo: *frowns* Your problems are important to you, therefore, it doesn't really matter how big they are.
Yuuta: *tries to smile* But right now your problems need more help. Just I.. I really hope you're not still upset with me. *looking at his tea*
Keigo: I'm not upset with you.
Keigo: And my problems aren't really problems, they're quite silly and I made this mess myself. I am just going to get over it. *nods and finishes his tea*
Yuuta: *firmly* No, Wakato-san made this mess with you. Wakato-san has to take his share of the responsibility as well. *placing the tea cup on the tray and folding his hands in his lap* It's important he takes his share as well.
Yuuta: *tentatively* Keigo, what do you.. umm want.. if you could have anything?
Keigo: *sighs and eyes Yuuta*
Yuuta: *biting his lower lip* It's important.. you can't.. you can't try to get what you want until you know what it is. *blush* ..I had to learn that too.
Keigo: As much as this galls me to admit, I suppose I would like to be given a chance.
Keigo: Though I like the way he throws all of my faults, sometimes imagined, in my face. Keeps me on my toes.
Yuuta: *tersely* Well, *I* don't like him throwing things in my face. *coughs for a second and finishes his tea before trying to ascertain if there is more water in the pot to make a cup of green*
Yuuta: So.. you umm do want to be his boyfriend then, Keigo? *not looking at Keigo while he talks to try to keep out his own biases* Does he umm know?
Keigo: I wouldn't necessarily want to be his boyfriend. But dinner together was rather enjoyable.
Keigo: It should be clear, I think I made myself look like a desperate ass at one point, he had a good chuckle once he stopped being horrified.
Yuuta: *nods as if in understanding even if he doesn't understand at all*..would it... if you could spend time together, would it make you happy? *bites lip*
Yuuta: *coughing, trying to keep the blush on his cheeks form going radioactive* was that ummm before you.. well you...
Keigo: I made him do all those chores because I enjoy needling him and it kept him around.
Keigo: Are you ok?
Keigo: *hopes Yuuta isn't choking on his tea*
Yuuta: Me? I'm well... *pursing his lips before just plowing ahead* ..I just want to do my best help but I don'tlikeWakato-sanmuch. We.. well we had a few words and now I.. well I don't like him playing games with you like this, Keigo. You deserve better!
Yuuta: *taking a deep breath for control and closing his eyes to help keep his emotions in check to be more impartial* ...I wish I could help all the people I know find someone who made them happy.
Keigo: *sighs and puts down his cup and stands up, a small smile on his face as he goes and wraps an arm around Yuuta* And you do your best. As much as I may deserve more, it's become clear that his fashionably challenged, whiny ways are what I want. I'm not used to not getting what I want.
Yuuta: *tries to smile but its tinged with some sadness as he turns to look more at Keigo*..except I managed to hurt two of the people I care about in trying to get my own happiness. *sighing*.. it hurts though not getting what you want, but it also... it makes us more human.
Yuuta: When you.. *forces the smile finally* .. when you like someone sometimes, you need to.. be selfish though and *thinking to himself he can't believe he is condoning this but..* you need to be selfish.. to try to keep them.
Yuuta: *small voice* Just not so selfish they can't be themselves either.
Kim: (Yuuta is so cute)
Rachel: (well he is sort of right lol )
Rachel: (keigo hasn't ever really fought for someone )
Keigo: Maybe....
Keigo: *sips his tea thoughtfully*
Yuuta: *sighing a bit and reaching onto his bed to grab the stuffed puppy who's not been getting as much love lately*.. I use to feel really sad sometimes, Keigo, and.. umm *blushes dark*..
Yuuta: *offers the puppy to Keigo* Caramel is a very good listener.. *sucking on his lip* You can borrow him.. until the show is over. *cheeks getting steadily pinker*..but I will need him back.. for when I no longer have, Hiroshi-san.
Kim: (D'AWWWW)
Keigo: *takes Caramel and smiles* I am sure you will have Yagyuu as long as you want him soon enough. But thank you.
Keigo: I appreciate it, as he is exceptionally cute...
Yuuta: *tries to smile, but can't thinking about the end of the show and his sadness is evident on his face* No, Keigo. Hiroshi-san lives in Yokohama, though he's promised to visit as much as possible.. it just.. it won't be the same. Though at least I won't be living at home.
Yuuta: I hope.. I hope.. when Hiroshi-san finishes high school though...
Keigo: He'd be much less intelligent than he lets on if he leaves you alone too much.
Yuuta: *bites his lip* You really think so, Keigo?
Yuuta: *trying to put all thoughts of the show ending out of his mind* But I'm glad you like Caramel.. and I know he will really help. He's good like that.
Keigo: I really think so.
Keigo: *pets the stuffed puppy since sometimes deep down he is a bit of a softie* And since I said it and I am generally always right...*smirks*
Yuuta: *smiles* Yes, you are. But I'll still need Caramel back when the show ends, but until then.. well.. I am sure he will enjoy living with you.
Yuuta: *reaching out and petting the stuffed animal as well* He likes being held and ummm pet *blushes* especially at night.. I think he's been a bit lonely lately. *RED*
Keigo: I will take good care of him.
Yuuta: *petting the puppy one last time* I'm sure you will, Keigo. I.. I really want things to work out for you. *tries to smile*
Yuuta: I'm sure.. 100% sure that.. that Wakato-san must like you, even if he doesn't want to admit it. It's hard not to like you at all, Keigo. *smiles at the other boy sitting next to him*
Keigo: You think so? *smirks a bit more, feeling a bit more himself* I suppose I can make myself rather hard to ignore.
Keigo: Thank you for listening, it only leads to more frustration if you keep on running around in your mind, so I have learned.
Yuuta: Thank you, for always listening to me. *laughs a little* I sometimes think if you'd not gotten me to talk..well.. my life would have been completely different.
Yuuta: So listening to you is the very least I could do. *tone guileless and looking earnestly at Keigo* Though I'd want to help you regardless, Keigo.
Yuuta: And just remember.. when you feel bad.. Caramel will listen. *smiles and gives Keigo a chaste but affectionate hug*
Keigo: *leans over and kisses Yuuta on the cheek*
Keigo: So what delicious thing shall we be getting for dinner? Did you need any help? Since I'm home and everything...
Yuuta: *laughs a little* I was just going to make something small *doesn't mention because Wakato was being a jerk the other day*...but if you're helping..
Yuuta: *stands up and takes Keigo's hand* I can be magnanimous and let you decide. *grins evilly* And we can make brownies... with nuts.
Rachel: (and if you like that can end it unless you have a better idea)
Kim: (I think that ends it cutely)
