Not an excuse... This story is shounen-ai, mushy, and generally the kind of stuff i think is happening behind the scenes when Yukito mysteriously shows up in the middle of thi night ("Sakura why are you sneaking out of the house?"...but she never asked him what he was doing lurking in their yard that late at night, you know?) Please tell me what needs fixed, thank you so much. ^_^ __________________________________________________________________ Anniversary by miai ------------------------------------------------------------------- These characters and the show they came from belong to CLAMP. Those ladies worked had to make them and deserve all credit for their creation. I only write to give my fav character a little more screen time and a little more social life than always talking to Touya about they guys' sister >^;^< -------------------------------------------------------------------- Yukito woke in a quiet room with the soft sound of his best friend's breathing close by. He smiled at the sunlight that came through the window. It was a cozy room with pale yellow walls. It made him feel comfortable. And alive. Somehow he never felt better than when he was with Touya. And his cute little sister, of course. Yukito had come over late when Touya called to say he left his books at school in his rush to get to work. Yukito had taken his books home but knew that since Touya was working late, he should stay up. Besides one never knew what might be going on. Touya was always so worried about being the polite host that he had given Yukito his bed and made a pallet on the floor of some over sized blankets. He knew it couldn't be comfortable; he had heard his friend tossing in his sleep last night. But as always, when he offered to take the floor he had gotten a stubborn look. And when he wanted to share the bed, Touya had resisted. He was always so proper. He looked at the body sprawled across the floor. It was roughly perpendicular to himself. He leaned to the left, looking at the dark head of hair. He lay back, remembering again that Touya had not slept well. He watched the sun slink across the room until it was over Touya's face. He didn't see any change in the expression from the heat or light, so he sat up. "Can't stay in bed all day..." He mumbled as he leaned over. "To-ya..." He leaned farther, seeing that he had not been heard. "To-ya, We didn't get through half of our assignment..." That didn't do it either. He almost frowned. At least as much as someone plotting to wake the person he loved most outside his own family could frown. There is a perversity in us all that makes us tickle and torment the ones we love. He looked again at Touya's sleeping posture. Mostly under the covers, but that long arm flung over Touya's head was just waiting for Yukito to catch him, right where the arm connects to his torso. The white shirt covered him, but his stomach, between the rumpled shirt and his pajama pants, was wide open. But the blanket covered enough that it would cause more trouble to get him there. Yukito pushed his covers down, allowing himself to turn his head towards the end of the bed, feet against the wall. He touched the soft tee-shirt he was wearing. It was Touya's. He had stayed the night unexpectedly again. This family was just too understanding. The shirt he wore was very used, until the fabric was a velvety as down. He remembered that Touya said his old undershirts usually ended up as pj's. This top was so large that to preserve his modesty, Yukito had to hold the neck to his collarbone. Yukito decided that it was definitely better to go after the stomach. Touya had a nasty habit of moving quickly in his sleep. And his arm could come down hard. Not that he wouldn't be sorry when he awoke, but until then Yukito knew, from experience, that his best friend was grumpy when first woken. Yukito smiled again, placing the other hand on the floor as he held the slightly large t-shirt to his chest. Putting all his weight on the wooden slats beneath his fingers he pulled himself forward. He turned back to look at his own awkwardness. With his hips barely on the bed, he could fall. That would wake someone. He had better be more careful. Nothing else to do for it, Yukito put a knee on the sun-warmed wood. He quietly moved one leg and then the other until he was leaning over Touya in his attempt to extract his friend from the sheets. He let go of the shirt to stabilize himself. Then to ensure he hadn't woken the sleeper with his clumsiness, he put his forearm back along his upper body and looked down the length of the bed to it's pillow. He had hoped to see a dozing Touya, but all he saw were brown eyes slit open enough to have been watching his maneuvers. "To-ya..." He sighed and then smiled. "I was just going to wake you." Touya whispered in an attempt to let the rest of the house sleep. "You did wake me." Yukito sat back, one leg still awkwardly on the bed, and flashed his radiant smile. "Hungry?" Touya sighed and got up, the cuffs of his blue and white striped cotton pj's hanging loose around his ankles. "Come on." They found their slippers and headed down stairs. Yukito had been correct, no one was up yet. They looked through the cupboards and into the 'fridge, but didn't find enough for the family and their guest with the bottomless stomach. Touya looked up from his position crouched before the refrigerator. He sighed, thankful he had just gotten a new job, "Come on, we'll go out." They tiptoed back up stairs, passing Sakura's room. There was a loud un-Sakura-like snore coming out of the room. Touya stopped. When Yukito turned around he signaled for his friend to go ahead of him. He listened and reminded himself to suggest to their father that since the snore was recent, she should go see a doctor. He didn't like the thought of her choking in her sleep. He looked at the puddle before her door suspiciously. Lately he was sure she had been coming back home at odd times, but he never had any proof. He went back to his room. But when he closed the bedroom door to allow the two friends to change in private, Yukito came close and whispered, "It was a great rain last night." Touya nodded and took off his top. "I think Sakura may have been out in it." Yukito's face lost expression and he looked at the wall that adjoined Sakura's room. He sighed and took of his shirt violently while Touya was turned the other way. He wasn't doing well in getting attention this morning, "Hopefully she won't get sick." Looking around the room he found his clothes laid out from the day before, still slightly wet. When he picked up his shirt Touya threw a light colored button down that Yukito had never seen Touya wear. Touya shrugged at the surprised look on Yukito's face. "Not my style anyway." He seemed to consider what Yukito had said earlier. "Probably the monster just spilled something. She does that a lot." Yukito smiled and quickly put the shirt on over an undershirt Touya also threw at him. Yukito tried again to get Touya's attention. "I don't think I've ever heard of such a rain this time of year. "He didn't think he would be able to broach the strange happenings of the night before at this time, so resigned himself to being treated to breakfast. Touya nodded again as he searched through his drawers for something to wear. Finally deciding on his favorite shirt and a pair of jeans, Yukito waited patiently at the door. Yukito turned the polished brass doorknob after Touya tucked in his pants, but found a hand preventing it's opening. "Oi. Is that all?" Yukito was suddenly confused, "What?" Touya brushed his lips against Yukito's high cheekbone. "You thought I'd forgotten." The light haired youth's face turned red, "No, never." He pressed his mouth against his friends kiss, suddenly remembering that Touya never forgot his books before. _______________________________________________________________________ the end.
