M35 (Clinic)

Apr 21, 2009 09:54

The intercom announcement didn't exactly make Ritsuka feel very safe. It was a blatant reference to Pandora and even if it wasn't, the message was ominous enough to send a chill down anyone's spine. Taking the notice, Ritsuka went over to the door and opened it cautiously. He didn't like the idea of forcing the Clinic on Nataku, but for now, he ( Read more... )

[From here.]

Soubi walked into the room a little quickly, concerned look painting his features. Why was Ritsuka always in his room these days? It threw Soubi off...

He looked around and spotted Ritsuka, relaxing into a smile.

Yamada Hanatarou had moved off to a corner to wait for people to come and with Hikaru not being able to do much beyond rest at the moment, that meant Ritsuka didn't have much to do either. He was about to go sit at his desk when the door opened and Soubi entered like he was in a rush. Or maybe it was... concern? He looked worried for some reason and-- oh, right. Ritsuka was supposed to wait out in the hall, not in his room. After being left behind once, Soubi was probably afraid of having that happen again ( ... )

Luckily for Soubi, he just looked...surprised. His innards, though, seemed to untwist a touch, pleased to be rid of the blond little snob. Though he couldn't relish the moment for long. Surely those annoying twins would fret and Ritsuka too. Though he seemed to be...calm. Tamaki was moved, not gone. Soubi didn't wish anything BAD on the blond, he was just happy it was away from his little Ritsuka ( ... )

There was a hand in his hair and Ritsuka jumped slightly as he always did. Rather than pull away as he had with Nataku though, Ritsuka relaxed and let Soubi touch him. It was just one of many small ways that Ritsuka could get physical contact that he didn't mind. He'd read somewhere that humans needed such physical contact in order to survive and until he'd met Soubi, he hadn't really understood what that had meant ( ... )

Soubi wasn't going to admit that he was most likely trying to buy Ritsuka's love. It wasn't that he had no respect for it but... he didn't know how to be what the boy wanted or how to serve him without upsetting him. He just knew he had to make Ritsuka happy and, well, gifts were working. This one, however ( ... )

Why was it a risk? Soubi took out a piece of paper and folded other papers around it, as if he were hiding it from other people's views. What was it that Soubi would be so worried about him seeing it? Ritsuka took the package and looked at it, curious about what it was. He wanted to open it right there, but Soubi's suggestion stayed his hand for now. Besides, there was a more important topic at hand ( ... )

Soubi's face was emitting a lot of 'trying to hide' expressions. It began with trying to hide his fear. He knew, deep down, that Ritsuka would say something nice because Ritsuka had good manners.

And then Ritsuka refused to look him in the eye. Because he was lying...or because he was...shy?

Whatever the case, Soubi struggled to keep a skeptical look on his face and his happiness beamed through despite his doubts. Even if Ritsuka didn't mean it completely... at least he cared enough to lie. Soubi's life was pretty much one big lie anyway. And if Ritsuka DID mean it? Soubi's smile grew and he leaned down, ready to kiss the boy's head but stopping himself in time.

"Thank you," he said.

forgot_it_all May 7 2009, 12:53:35 UTC

Ritsuka didn't know what was going on with Soubi's expressions because he couldn't bring himself to look up at him. What if Soubi was hurt because he couldn't say it? Or worse, what if he just didn't care? What if all he saw was that same patronizing smile he always wore? If Ritsuka's words didn't have any effect on the older man, the boy didn't know what he'd do. Likely crawl into a hole somewhere to hide until the embarrassment and horror wore off.

Instead, he noticed Soubi move closer and lean down and Ritsuka closed his eyes, but nothing came. Maybe he hadn't said the right thing after all or... Oh, right. His stupid order. Now he really couldn't look at him because he wanted to take the order back, but he couldn't. It might be taken the wrong way and he didn't want Soubi to misinterpret things. "You don't have to thank me. I was just being honest." Mostly.

"Ritsuka... you're not....hiding anything, are you?" he asked, feeling a little braver and light hearted now. Ritsuka seemed shy about something. Soubi only hoped it wasn't because he was lying!

"I honestly like you too. A lot," he said with a big smile, fingers entwined in the boys hair where one of his ears used ought to be.

forgot_it_all May 8 2009, 11:04:26 UTC

Hiding anything? Crap. Of course he was hiding things. Everyone hid things and didn't want to talk about them. Specifically, however, Ritsuka was very, very determined that Soubi never find out how much his actions threw Ritsuka for a loop. The last thing he wanted Soubi to know was how Ritsuka had been questioning his feelings. That just wasn't something he wanted to talk about with the person said 'feelings' involved. Not with--

Shooting Hikaru and Kaoru a look, he crossed his arms. Great, the teasing. "Nothing important and no, I'm not lying to you, if that's what you mean. I don't lie, remember?"

He was about to snap at them when Soubi's hand touched his head and instead of saying anything, he dropped his gaze and tried to hide the fact that his face had just turned bright red. He hated when other people touched him nothing happened, but the second it was Soubi? He flushed like he had a fever. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Soubi followed Ritsuka's sudden look, having felt the boy's head jerk under his hand. He shot the twins a perfectly 'innocent' smile. Funny how Kio was obsessed with the idea of Soubi being 'touched' as a child, and everyone thought that was the sort of thing he was doing to Ritsuka. Well, ok, it wasn't that funny. Disturbing, really, if he thought about it too seriously. So he did his best not to ( ... )

Ritsuka still hadn't told Soubi about his 'problem.' Then again, he hadn't told anyone. The only people to know where his doctors and Alfons and Alfons was gone. Looking at the paper in his hands, Ritsuka yet again wondered what could be within the paper package. He was tempted to open it, but Soubi had told him to wait for the morning. Lowering the package again, Ritsuka nodded and avoided Soubi's gaze. He really didn't want to talk about what happened to him. It was the entire reason his mother was the way she was, and why his family had broken apart - exacerbated when Seimei had died. "Yeah, but don't worry about it, okay? It's nothing important ( ... )

beloved_less May 8 2009, 13:08:36 UTC

Soubi knew it wasn't his place to push and pry. But...he wanted to know. He wanted Ritsuka to love and trust him enough to tell him everything. His purpose to Seimei and Ritsu before that... it was easily fulfilled. He was their Fighter, not their friend. But, for Ritsuka, a Fighter wasn't enough. For either of them, it seemed ( ... )

forgot_it_all May 10 2009, 05:28:25 UTC

Soubi seemed like he was willing to let the issue drop, and that was just fine with Ritsuka. He hated talking about what was 'wrong' with him. When people pried into that, it just made things messy. He preferred to look to the future as much as possible, which meant he had to go back to figuring out a way to escape this place and get everyone home. He also had to think of his responsibilities ( ... )
