A while back I opened my big mouth on the CML and talked abouthow Takeshi and Kentarou got a high score on a love calculator.Instantly, the ever-cute Steven Perez-san told me, "Hey, whydon't you write a yaoi Duklyon fanfiction?" I,being the one to take more that she can chew, said, "Sure!Why not?" And thus, my fate was sealed.
Well, I put it off for a long time. One, because I was toobusy with other things. Two, because I wasn't sure how to goabout it. Finally, one night I was in a writer’s block with
I don't know if I'll continue with this fanfiction. If I do, Ithink I'll use a lot of "author's license" becausethere's a lot not explained in Campus Cop Duklyon (andif it is, then blame my limited kanji vocabulary ^_^;;).
Standard Disclaimer: I did not create Gakuen TokkeiDuklyon/Campus Cop Duklyon. CLAMP-sensei created it, so thecopyright reads, ©CLAMP/Kadokawa Shoten. Please don't sue me. I'ma poor fangirl who just wants to share her love of Campus CopDuklyon with the world, 'kay?

normal anddifferent
a duklyon fanfic
"Ohayo---, Takepon!!"
As soon as he heard the ever-so-familiar voice yell that ever-so-familiarphrase, it was his cue to scurry off as fast as he could.
"Huh? Hey, Takepon! Why the cold shoulder?"
Same thing everyday. Kentarou rode up in his limo, yelled outthe window at him, asked him why he was ignoring him, and thenyelled,
"Darling!"
He froze in place.
Yes, it was just like clockwork. As soon as Kentarou yelled"Darling," he could feel his whole body become stiffand numb. Whether it was from embarrassment or anger, he couldn'ttell. Perhaps it was a combination...
Once again, it was a normal day.
Normal?
Kentarou happily hopped over to him. "'Morning, Takepon!I hope you're feeling okay. I kept calling you, but you wouldn'tanswer..." He paused for a moment and then said, "Um,are you okay?"
He was about to give Kentarou his NORMAL response. Then,Kentarou, like NORMAL, would try to calm him down. Kentarou wouldthen proceed to pull out the NORMAL bentou box...
However, Shuukaidou Takeshi, the NORMAL boy himself, didn'tfollow the NORMAL regime. Instead he replied, "Why shouldn'tI be okay? Everything's NORMAL..."
------------------------------------------------------------------
Shuukaidou Takeshi had only one wish. One big wish in hissixteen years of life: To be NORMAL. Well, he got his wish; toobad he didn't specify what exactly NORMAL is. And now that he hadhis wish, he didn't know what to do.
------------------------------------------------------------------
As Takeshi sat in class, half-listening to the teacherrambling on about 20 Mensou and watching Kentarou scarf down anentire bentou, he started thinking about that morning.
Why shouldn't I be okay? Everything's NORMAL...
It was true. Everything was normal. Everyday passed by thesame. Everyone acted the same. Everything resolved the same.
But, he was sure this was not the NORMALITY he wanted. Takeshiknew that this NORMALITY was not NORMAL, and that the NORMALITYhe wanted was more NORMAL than the current NORMALITY...
Now he was more confused than a moment ago.
Takeshi sighed as he continued to watch Kentarou as he...shookthe bentou box, looking for an errant crumb. It'sobviously his fault, he thought in disgust.
Something suddenly hit his head at 100 KPH, knocking him tothe floor.
He got up and picked up the object. A chalkboard eraser. Heturned to see the teacher who was staring right at him andKentarou.
"I was aiming for Higashikunimaru-kun, but it's just aswell I hit you, Shuukaidou-kun," said the teacher. "Higashikunimaru-kun,as usual, you fail to follow my rules on eating in class.Go stand in the hall with the buckets."
Kentarou protested, "But, but, lunch is a long time away,and..."
The teacher slapped the desk with his ruler. "Buckets!Now!" The teacher turned to Takeshi. "As for you,Shuukaidou-kun, since you find watching Higashikunimaru-kun moreinteresting than class, you will be happy to learn that you willbe spending more time with him. Get your buckets."
Takeshi turned beet red. "Sp-spend more time with h-h-him?!"he stuttered. "Wh-what's that supposed to mean?!"
"Exactly as it sounds," said the teacher as hepointed to the ominous buckets.
Takeshi obeyed, grabbing two buckets with "1-Z"written on them and filling them at the sink. As Takeshi walkedtowards the door, he heard snickering and whispering:
"They're always getting into trouble."
"Well, they're always together."
"That's right. They never do anything alone."
"Do you suppose they're..."
The door shut at that moment. Takeshi was a bit relieved itdid. He really didn't like where that last comment was going. Hetook his place along the wall next to Kentarou, like NORMAL.
This was really starting to bug him. Everything was NORMAL!Not even the fact he was standing outside class with these stupidbuckets, with Kentarou! Was there anything to break the monotony?!
"He didn't have to get so mad at me! I was hungry!"Kentarou complained.
Like NORMAL, thought Takeshi.
"It was really good, too! You should have had some. Ifyou don't eat breakfast..."
"...you'll never be as big and strong as Godzilla,"finished Takeshi.
Kentarou stared at him for a moment. Takeshi kept still withhis eyes forward, not paying any particular attention to Kentarou'squizzical look. After a moment of silence, Kentarou asked, "So,why are you out here, Takepon?"
Takeshi said with a hint of indifference, "Because of you."
Kentarou cocked his head to the side. "'Me?' What did Iever do?"
Takeshi growled. "You're the reason for everything wrongin my life. The reason I get kicked out of class. The reason I'mconsider some kind of...pervert..."
"Pervert? Why is that?" Kentarou cutely asked.
Something inside Takeshi snapped. He had had enough ofKentarou's ever-genki attitude. "Kentarou!! Did itever occur to you that I don't like you?! I mean, in that way?!Hell, in any way! You're a spoiled brat that thinks hecan get away with everything, including making me your boyfriend!No wonder you don't have any other real friends! They were allsmart enough to get away before you could get attached to them!You're nothing but trouble for me!"
Kentarou didn't answer in his usual happy demeanor because itlooked like the words had hit home. Instead he replied with:
"Gomennasai."
Takeshi turned his head slightly to see Kentarou bowing verydeeply to him. He stared for a moment and then asked, "Whatare you doing?"
Kentarou lifted his head and resumed leaning against the wall."I'm sorry you don't like me."
Takeshi couldn't take his eye off Kentarou. Kentarou was...apologizing?This had never happened before. It was...different.
Different?
"I guess I don't take hints very well," saidKentarou with a weak laugh.
This was DIFFERENT, and he hated it. Takeshi didn't like itbecause it was DIFFERENT, but because it wasn't the way it wassupposed to be. But what could he do to make it DIFFERENT?
Kentarou sighed and close his eyes. Takeshi watched himintently. Why was he doing this? Why couldn't he take his eyesoff Kentarou? Why did this bother him so much?
Then it hit him. A small thought pushed to the back of hismind. A small thought pushed to the back of his mind because ofthe fear of being DIFFERENT. He fought it for a moment, buteventually, it won. It won because he felt DIFFERENT.
I'm going to regret this, he thought to himself.
He leaned over to Kentarou, and kissed Kentarou on the lips.Kentarou's eyes shot open, and he made a small, muffled sound ofsurprise. Eventually, Kentarou moved into the kiss, wrapping hisarms around Takeshi's hips as Takeshi did the same.
After an unmeasurable amount of time, Takeshi hesitantly brokethe kiss. Kentarou stared at him bug-eyed and said, "Takepon?"
"Hmm?"
"Why...?"
"I don't know. I just felt DIFFERENT..."
Kentarou unwrapped his arms from Takeshi and shook his headviolently. "No, no, no, no! Not that! You didn't let mefinish! I meant, why did you do this in front of the entire class?"
Takeshi could feel a large sweat drop working its way down hisforehead. He turned slowly to the direction Kentarou was pointingand said, "The entire...CLASS?!!" Sure enough, he sawall of his classmates and his teacher watching Kentarou's and hisevery move. Takeshi could feel his whole body going numb.
A girl triumphantly said, "See, I told you. They're acouple."
"Oh my!" exclaimed another girl.
Takeshi heard the familiar snickering and whispering again.Kentarou waved his hand in front of Takeshi's face. "Takepon?Are you all right?"
Normal and different.
Takeshi knew he was going to regret this...
