(In the midst of rain, chapter 13 makes an appearance)

Sep 06, 2008 18:35

Since I'm too depressed to do anything productive (like homework), I'm going to have an update to my VK story. So here it is.

Title: Why Me? [Ichijou's Story]
Author: Hurricane Hanna
Pairings: Slight KanamexIchijou, ShikixIchijou, impl. KanamexYuuki, KanamexZero, ZeroxKaname
Genre: Romance/Drama
Rating: Overall R; Chapter: R for implications, language, brief non-graphic lime
Word Count: 1,234 (wow...how did that happen?)
Summary: All Ichijou wanted to do was read the new manga he got, but instead, he overheard Kaname and Yuuki fighting, so now he's stuck to look after Kaname, only to have the pureblood do something completely unexpected.



Chapter 13-Play Time

“What’s this about anyhow?” Shiki asked in an uninterested voice as he picked up Ichijou’s manga, glancing at the back cover.

“Well…” Ichijou started. He tried to remember, but it was difficult with all the thoughts wrapping around his mind now. He had hardly started the book when he decided to stop because of what he had heard outside of his room. Now though, he didn’t want to continue because of what Kaname said. Once you’ve finished it, you can come back and I will leave your room. But what did that mean? Did Kaname know how long it took for Ichijou to get through a volume?

Shiki noticed Ichijou’s lack of response and sighed, tossing the manga on the bed. Ichijou lunged for it.

“Be careful.” He warned, picking up the volume and caressing the spine. “This is brand new.”

Shiki regarded the blond carefully, almost examining him. Ichijou felt abashed and sighed. “I’m sorry. I know you don’t like seeing me this way, but…I’m just concerned…”

“About Kaname?” Shiki asked stiffly.

“Not as much as I was before. I just…I don’t know. Kaname obviously doesn’t tell me everything. If he did, I probably would be scarred for life, but knowing that he’s hiding something from me nevertheless makes me feel…unwelcome and untrustworthy.”

“Well, gee, if you were fucking the turned-vamp prefect, wouldn’t you want to keep it hush-hush as well?”

Ichijou shuddered at the very thought. But he knew Shiki had a point. If he was right (and he hoped he wasn’t), then Kaname would definitely not want to say anything about it. He imagined Zero wouldn’t want to admit it very freely either. After all, Kaname loved Yuuki and Ichijou hoped that relationship was still intact. It didn’t look well if Zero was fooling around with the man Yuuki loved.

Then, Shiki came over to the bed and sat down next to the blond. “I understand though,” he said in a quiet voice, “why you’re distraught. You grew up with Kaname. You know him better than any other member of the Night Class, and yet he shuts you out when you want in the most. Though, it’s not uncommon for Kaname to do something like that.”

Ichijou turned to him abruptly. “What do you mean?”

“Well, I mean, you never know what he’ll do next. He’s always a mystery in his actions, which is why you want to know his secrets. But don’t let your curiosity get the best of you. We’re at least lucky that Aido knocked.”

Ichijou had to smile at the close call they had made earlier after having just made love to each other and Aido coming over to look for the vice president. Considering they were both naked, Ichijou made an effort to speak to Aido while keeping himself concealed.

“Yes.” Ichijou said. Then, he suddenly remembered what had happened earlier after they had woken up. Shiki had sounded uncertain about them and Ichijou was upset by it. “Uh, Shiki?”

“Mm?” Shiki said.

“Earlier…when we…after we, um, had…after we, you know…”

Shiki nodded slowly, trying to comprehend what Ichijou was getting at.

“Well, I was wondering if you thought it was too soon.”

“Too soon?” Shiki’s eyebrows crinkled.

“Yeah,” Ichijou said, “I didn’t mean to rush it. I just thought it was the perfect opportunity, but I understand completely if you’re mad at me for taking the next step.”

“Wait…” Shiki said, putting a slender hand on the blond’s knee, “Are you talking about us having sex?”

Ichijou blushed internally and he wouldn’t be surprised if Shiki could see right through him. He gave a quick nod.

Shiki blinked a few times before slapping Ichijou across the face. Ichijou was a bit shocked at this, but when he turned back to Shiki, the redhead was smirking at him playfully. He knew that look all too well. Ichijou invited the redhead to pin him down to the bed and hug him tightly. Shiki moved his lips up the blond’s neck, lingering there for a moment when Ichijou reminded him that he had enough for tonight. Shiki moved upward and bit at the blond’s lip. Their fangs interlocked and soon what would have seemed like an innocent peck turned out to be a bloody massacre of locked lips. The red-haired vampire was now getting into it as he started unbuttoning Ichijou’s shirt. The blond did likewise for his partner and soon the two horny vampires were topless. Ichijou wondered if the time that it would take to finish reading his new manga would be equivalent to the time it took to have another go with his vampire companion. The manga lay helpless at the edge of the bed as it squeaked ever so often, indicating that the blond was too busy to bother reading it at this point. Maybe later. He thought.

“Wow. Was not expecting that to happen.”

Shiki scoffed. “I was.”

Ichijou turned to him, noticing the redhead’s crossed arms and indifferent expression. The blond sighed as he returned to his manga. Shiki was ticked at him for interrupting their time together to read his manga, which after much deliberation, he finally decided to pursue. After all, he eventually had to go back to his room.

“You could have waited another hour.” Shiki said out of the blue.

Ichijou regarded Shiki with a nonchalant expression as he said, “Not likely. Do you know how often these issues come out?”

Shiki sighed out of impatience and lay down on the pillow. “I thought you were too caught up with what Kaname and Zero were up to to read.”

Ichijou winced at the mention of the two of them. “Well, I hadn’t thought about them until now when you brought them up!”

Shiki groaned inwardly as Ichijou continued reading. But at this point, he couldn’t continue. He, himself, was curious what was up in his room. He didn’t want to disturb them anymore than he might have already, but at the same time, he had no desire to read any further. After all, he thought, Kaname wouldn’t quiz me on my manga or anything to make sure that I’ve read it.

Putting the book down, Ichijou turned to his companion as he said, “I’ve stopped.”

“So I see.” Shiki said in a bored voice. He had his eyes closed and wasn’t looking at the blond. Ichijou then brushed some of the redhead’s hair back and kissed his forehead. Shiki took the opportunity and moved quickly so that Ichijou was now pinned to the bed once more, Shiki resting on top of him. The red-haired vampire cupped his palm around Ichijou’s cheek as the blond exclaimed, “Again?”

Shiki laughed quietly and bent his head forward as he licked the blond vampire’s neck. “Mmm.” He savored. Ichijou didn’t bother telling him not to bite. He was surprised when Shiki didn’t sink his teeth in though. Instead, Shiki moved away, but in the process, he spread his legs out so that he straddled the blond.

“You must be enjoying yourself.” Ichijou said.

“Ha.” Shiki said, “Unfortunately, because of the interruption you made earlier, you’re going to spend the next hour screaming my name.”

Ichijou grimaced as he said, “Are you that upset?”

Shiki didn’t answer, but instead showed his anger in the lower abdominal area. Ichijou arched his back and screamed his boyfriend’s name.

A/N: Um...yeah, this was one of those chapters were the plot was again waning slightly...once I think of how to officially end this story, it'll get more exciting, but for now, I give you more romance. I can't help being a sucker for this type of thing. Hopefully you're still enjoying it even though most of the Shikijou stuff has been amended (whether it's fully amended or not I have yet to see...^^;).
