Chapter 2
I can't believe this. Hime is being irrational. He's so angry, just because he has to sleep with me. Well, he doesn't have to sleep with me. I mean, just in the same bed. But, doesnt that make it worse? He won't even sleep in the same bed as me! Well, not that I want him to or anything. I mean, but, it's not like I'd hate it eith--
"Ryo! What do you mean, 'with me'? Are you even listening to me?!" Hime shouted. We were still sitting on the couch from before. Except, now, Hime was shaking me by the shoulders, out of my stupor.
"Yes, I'm listening!" Hime flinched when I'd shouted, so I calmed down. "My parents have this thing about wake-up calls. They--well, my mom-- loves seeing people in love, and my mom said she wants to be the first person to see me and my boyfriend sleeping in the same bed. I'm sorry."
"Oh, sorry. But, can you actually explain this whole thing? Why do we have to pretend we're in love, and dating, and about to get married?" Hime asked me.
I sighed, and tried to explain as best I could. "Okay, listen. My father wasn't allowed to take over Nishikido Corp. until he got married. Same with his father, and his. Until I get married, I cant take over the company. This is something I want to do, though. I can run it while I work at the Jimusho, and it's the first thing I've wanted this much besides being what I am today. My parents called me while you, me, and AKame went out to the beach. Apparently, the last thing he wants to do is merge Nishikido and Ueda Corp., before he...dies." My voice caught on the last word, and I could feel tears streaming down my cheeks.
Hime puts his arm around my shoulders, holing me tightly. "But Ryo, why me?" He asked softly, so as to not get me angry, I supposed.
I sighed, sniffling. "I told them that I had met someone at the Jimusho,--on the phone, by the way-- and I was lying, of course. Then Jin dragged you into the room just as they asked me who. Jin said, 'Hi, Ryo-chan', I waved, you nodded, and I said, 'Hime'. My parents assumed you called me 'Ryo-chan' because you loved me, and I called you 'Hime' because I love you." I breathed in and out slowly, waiting for Hime to explode, but he just nodded, and stared off into space. He tightened his grip on my shoulders, and loosened it again.
"Well, Ryo, shall we go check out the room then?" Hm. I'd expected more than that. that's when I noticed.
"Wait a second. You've been calling me 'Ryo' this whole time now! Why?" I asked, leaning forward, so out faces were only a mere two inches apart.
Hime wiped the remaining tears from my face, and blushed as he pulled his hand away. "Guess it... sorta... comes naturally." He looked at the floor.
My heart skipped a beat. He... blushing, staring at the floor, our faces inches away. He looks adorable. Maybe... If I kissed him right now, would he mind? No! I cleared my throat. "Well- ehem. Let's ah, go, shall we?" I asked, trying to shake those though from my head.
+~+~+~+~+
We walked throughout the house, Hime following close behind me, most likely trying not to get lost.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it, okay?...Okay?" I turned around, expecting an answer. Yet, there was nothing there. "Hime? Hime?!" I spun continuously, searching for the one I was supposed to marry in two and a half weeks. Oh, did I mention the wedding was in two and a half weeks?
I ran throughout the halls. I searched in the bathrooms, guest rooms, and I finally ran into the security rooms. It had a bunch of televisions, all displaying the security camera's views. I searched, searched, and found him. In my room. I ran out the door, up the stairs, down the hallway, and into the room.
"Ryo? Are you okay?" He asked as I fell onto the ground, breathing heavily.
"Do you think I'm okay?!" He flinched. "Sorry. I'm just-- How did you get here so fast?" I asked, breathing normally now.
He helped me up and we sat on my bed. "I took the elevator."
I fell backwards onto the bed, laughing. "Do you have any idea how worried I was?!"
"Worried?" He asked, with a curious expression.
"Yeah, I mean, you're the only person who puts up with my teasing, and that makes you special." His face fell.
"Ah, so it's just for teasing." He stood up. Ah, I didn't mean it like that. You're special to me, even if i say it's for teasing, don't listen to me!! I'm an idiot! The voice inside my head yelled. I grabbed him by the wrist, stopping any further movement.
"I..um... sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I just, um." I pulled him pack to sit on the bed. For some reason he was crying. "Ah! I mean-- I didn't-- um. Uhhh..." I pulled him into a hug. Rubbing his back, I mumbled, "Don't cry. Everything's alright, it's okay, don't cry, I'm sorry."
"Ryo..."
I pulled away. "Yeah?" His tears continued to fall.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? About the wedding? This is all really confusing, and I know that I acted cool out there and all, but this is really sudden, and I feel like I'm obligated to... I want to help, but... I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm thinking. Just... forget I even said anything." He pulled me back into a hug.
This is bad. The phone call was a long time ago. I should've at least told him something. He must be really flustered. "Are you uncomfortable with this? With, having to live with me and sleep in the same bed and stuff? If it's too uncomfortable, that's okay--"
"It's not that. it's just," he pulled out of the hug. "I don't want this to feel too real. I mean, what if I forget it's all fake, and start to think that I'm really in love with you? And then... having to be turned down by the man I'm married to... And besides, what if our friends won't accept it? What if they think we're weird because we're getting married? That'll be-- so-- horribleeee...." He began to sob again, and for the third time, we hugged. I mean, how could you not hug a sobbing Tatsuya? Wait. Since when do I call him 'Tatsuya'? And why are we hugging? I thought I hated him? Isn't there that saying, "Like your friends, Love your enemies*?" That must be it. Definitely. It's because he's my enemy, so I love him.... Love? Hime? Love... Hime? I... love Hime? I love Hime. Oh, no. I realised that Hime had fallen asleep while I was ranting in my head. I slowly laid him down, and ran out the door.
I ran down the hallway, down the stairs, out of the back door, and into the back yard.
All before I screamed, "I can't believe I love Hime!!!!!!!!"
Little did I know, there was a certain KAT-TN with a side of NEWS at my door, and they heard everything.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well? Here's Chapter 2!! For some reason, I've titled this, "Realization" Because Ryo "Realized" that he loves Tat-chan!! Yay!! Also, "Like your friends, Love your enemies" is NOT the real saying. It's "Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer" But I had to make Ryo an idiot for this chapter, because I'm feeling like writing angst, so someone has to love someone, and we always need KAT-TN and NEWS to retarded-ly get two people together, right? In the worst means possible, to make them hate themselves, before they "realize" each others' feelings, right? *smiles a Shige-like "fake" smile*
Anyway, Comments are, all together!!
