Date: The night Shishido finds out about Ohtori sleeping with Kite
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Shishido needs a break from the safehouse and a friend so goes to visit Yuushi. The two of them talk and relive some memories.
Shishido: *Decides he needs some time away from Chotuarou, Kite and the scene of the crime and heads to where he considers home and to a good friend flying to Oshitari's* This is so lame... *notices that Oshitari's offic e light is on and decides to head there, making his entrance through the balcony window*
Yuushi: *looks up immediately at the sound of the window being opened, hand already wrapped around gun hidden in his desk* ...Ryou?
Shishido: *takes in Oshitari and his posture and frowns as he walks in further* If you shoot me just make sure to take me out of my misery, not add to it. *sighs as he folds his wings up behind him*
Yuushi: *releases the gun and stands, taking in the defeated air of his friend* You never come in through the balcony. I do like to stay prepared, if at all possible. *crosses over* Is it Ohtori-kun?
Shishido: *shrugs and feels that the window isn't so foreign an entrance* It seemed easier than going through the door. *fidgets* And yeah...
Yuushi: Mm. At least you aren't begging for a password...*momentary lapse involving au memories* Has something happened?
Shishido: Tch I don't beg. *doesn't know why he'd need a password but doesn't care enough to ask, instead he moves to flop on the couch* You can say that again...
Yuushi: Of course not, no...*sits on the arm of the couch, looking down at Shishi* Did it involve Kite?
Shishido: Fuck... who else would it involve? You have Choutarou practically quarantined there. It's like asking for something to fucking happen. *huffs and ruffles*
Yuushi: *eyebrow raises* So I am to blame. I see. Would you prefer he was locked up here?
Shishido: *would really like to blame someone for this mess...* I don't see how that would help.
Yuushi: Nor do I, seeing as that would put three of us in danger should he snap. *reaches down and puts a hand on Shishi's shoulder* Tell me what happened, Ryou.
Shishido: *tenses but then relaxes as he takes a deep breathe* It's so uncool... I don't even know if he did it because he hates me that much or because he loves Kite that much...
Yuushi: They slept together...
Shishido: *mutters into the couch* More like had kinky sex when I wasn't home...
Yuushi: *shakes head but squeezes Shishi's shoulder* Would you like me to unload my clip into this Kite's skull?
Shishido: *chuckles slightly as he leans into the touch* Tempting... but it would probably just cause more problems... especially if he lives and gets all pissy about it
Yuushi: True...you didn't happen to walk in on them, did you?
Shishido: *growls and ruffles* No. It took me a whole fucking day to find out about it.
Yuushi: ...They told you?
Shishido: They didn't have a choice.. *shifts so he's sitting up a bit and facing Oshitari* There were marks all along here. *reaches out to trace a finger along Oshtiari's neck and collar bone where there was someone else's mark other than his on his mate's neck
Yuushi: *just makes him think about the marks on several parts of his body, reaches up and takes Shishido's hand* I see...
Shishido: *looks at the hand on his and back up to Yuushi's face* Do you?
Yuushi: *nods* You're in pain and unhappy. This Kite and the other part of Ohtori obviously took advantage of you being away. And in this situation, there really isn't a clear solution or resolution to what you're feeling. *slides down so he's sitting next to him*
Shishido: *ruffles at it being put so bluntly* It hurts and I don't even have anyone to blame... it's not like I can just lock up Choutarou when I'm not around or something
Yuushi: None of it is your fault either, Ryou. You can't be there every second to watch them. *thinks about it* Perhaps I should have installed security cameras.
Shishido: O.O What?! *ruffles and flaps* The last thing I need is someone witnessing THAT!
Yuushi: *raises an eyebrow* Perhaps not. But it might help in preventing such an...event.
Shishido: Yuushi... do you really think that? I mean in the time it takes someone to spot something going on and getting there I think most of the damage would be done. Besides, Choutarou's evil twin would probably just blow them up everytime
Yuushi: I *could* affect Ohtori-kun's mind, even from such a distance...but you're probably right. It was just a thought.
Shishido: Don't suppose you can affect it to make him not want to tie someone down and fuck him again can you? *joking but vaguely hopeful*
Yuushi: If I could do that without damaging his mind irreparably, we would no longer be fighting a war, Ryou.
Shishido: This sucks. *half flops against Tari in defeat* I seriously need to find a cure
Yuushi: For mutancy or infidelity? *slightly amused, letting an arm slide around Shishido's shoulders*
Shishido: *gives him a look at his suggestions* For Chotuarou. What would I do with the other two?
Yuushi: Accomplish world peace? *smiles just a little before sobering* If we could understand what is happening to him, it would be easier to help him.
Shishido: I don't need world peace. I just need peace of mind. *sighs* Kite thinks it might be him not being able to differntiate between memories and reality...
Yuushi: *interested* Do you think that could be possible?
Shishido: >.> Maybe. *wings ruffle slightly* I mean it happens to you sometimes right? What with all of the hugging
Yuushi: *blinks* ...Perhaps. But I am still aware of myself. It seems to be an involuntary reaction by my body now, at times.
Shishido: Well we think it's that with Choutarou but on a bigger scale... so we need to get him to control those memories or erase them or something.
Yuushi: ...Ryou-kun is not avaliable for that. He can't control his power yet.
Shishido: I wasn't even going to suggest it. Give me a break. I'm not that lame. I want Choutarou fixed desperately but I won't risk a friend for it.
Yuushi: That would risk Ohtori-kun as well. *relaxes though* If we cannot erase his memories, what chance do we have that he can learn to control them? If indeed that is what is happening to him...have you had such a difficulty yourself, Ryou?
Shishido: Yeah... was thinking I might talk to Ryoma about helping... *ruffles at the question and wonders why everyone always asks him about his memories* I think I'm pretty good at my control
Yuushi: That is good, at least. It certainly makes it less complicated for you, not being confused between two mates.
Shishido: I know who my mate is Yuushi. *frowns* not that you were really my mate there anyway
Yuushi: Hmph. As though that inferior version of me could ever be a viable mate.
Shishido: *laughs* Is this where you start the presentation on why you'd be a better mate for me? *from what he can remember he doesn't think the other world Yuushi was that bad*
Yuushi: *smirks* I could, if you give me an hour to assemble a powerpoint presentation complete with graphs and pie charts...
Shishido: I think there's more productive things you could do instead of slides and graphs...
Yuushi: Do tell...
Shishido: Tell what?
Yuushi: What other productive things I could do.
Shishido: *ruffles* I don't know... stuff.
Yuushi: *pats his shoulder* You shouldn't bring it up if you don't want to play, Ryou. *gives him a little hug*
Shishido: *automatically hugs back now* ... I didn't say I didn't want to play
Yuushi: *chuckles* Then you should probably demonstrate what you mean.
Shishido: *pulls back slightly so he can look at Yuushi better but moves his wings partially around them as he tries to figure out what he should do*
Yuushi: *minor memory glitch causes him to smile and ruffle Shishi's hair just a bit as the au version of himself would do on occasion*
Shishido: *lets out a breath and hugs Oshitari tight at the hair ruffling letting out a pleased hum not even realizing how bad this could look* Thanks Yuushi... for the distractions
Yuushi: You're quite welcome, Ryou. *hugs back, brushes a kiss on his cheek absently*
Shishido: *is practically snugging against Oshitari now and hums more at the brushed kiss turning his face to return it against Oshitari's cheek* I miss when things were simple between us...
Yuushi: *leaning back a bit now with Shishido curled up in his arms* Things aren't simple between us now?
Shishido: *shifts so he's comfortable in Yuushi's arms and thinks about that and wonders* I don't think things have been simple in our lives for quite some time.
Yuushi: You're probably right. What can we do about that?
Shishido: Order up tons of food, lock the door and pretend nothing else exists? *chuckles slightly*
Yuushi: But then there's the complication of deciding what to order. *chuckles with him*
Shishido: *shrugs* We'll just have to order everything... especially the really unhealthy things... or cheese covered things.
Yuushi: And plenty of grapes, hm?
Shishido: Now that, dear Yuushi, goes without saying. *smiles slightly*
Yuushi: *laughs softly, this feels...familiar...very familiar* And what else goes without saying?
Shishido: That you're obsessed with work and my love life is completely fucked up...Neither of which will be allowed to come into the room with the food.
Yuushi: *starts to absently stroke Shishi's hair* Agreed. I don't like to see you upset, Ryou.
Shishido: It makes two of us. *enjoying the petting and lets his eyes close* You're good at that...
Yuushi: Hm? Good at what?
Shishido: This.
Yuushi: Talking to you? *not exactly aware of what his hand is doing atm*
Shishido: I really don't think it takes a skilled person to talk to me. *would roll his eyes but can't be bothered when he's finally starting to get comfortable and relax*
Yuushi: I would have to agree. *notices how they're positioned* We haven't done this in awhile...have we?
Shishido: We've been busy... and it's not like we're doing anything wrong.
Yuushi: No...of course not...
Shishido: Good. Then don't stop, I'm finally starting to lose my desire to punch someone
Yuushi: You wouldn't lose my respect if you did. *practically cuddling him now*
Shishido: And who am I supposed to punch? You for deciding we should all stay together away from everyone else? Choutarou for having an evil twin living in him? Kite for being tied down and not being able to say no or myself for somehow not being able to stop it? *accidentally getting himself worked up again over it*
Yuushi: Well, Kite....
Shishido: *chuckles at Yuushi's tone and answer* I'd probably just end up breaking bones in my hand and he'd be perfectly okay.
Yuushi: Akira may have some brass knuckles...
Shishido: I'd rather take one of my knives and gut him. *grumbles* But it won't help anything and won't make the pain stop....
Yuushi: *sighs* Once Ohtori-kun is better, I think a vacation may be in order for you both.
Shishido: ... Hawaii? *hopeful as he looks up at Tari*
Yuushi: I suppose I could arrange that...*smiles*
Shishido: Cool... bet I can even take in a few hours of sunshine fun the first few days too. *smiling slightly at the thought again of him and Tori on a nice warm beach alone as he shifts to cuddle more into Yuushi enjoying the comforting contact*
Yuushi: You will bring us back souvenirs, won't you?
Shishido: If we ever manage to get to a shop. *winks and chuckles* Might have to be something from the airport
Yuushi: Acceptable. I'm sure Shuusuke would appreciate that too...
Shishido: I'm not gonna forget Shuusuke. You and him are top on the list.
Yuushi: So long as you aren't bringing back anymore sex toys...
Shishido: What? You think you couldn't find a use for them?
Yuushi: You don't think we have enough?
Shishido: *pauses and then ruffles when he thinks about that* Errr... I'll stick to the cheesy things... besides, I doubt they have sex toys with Hawaii plastered on them
Yuushi: In this day and age? I'm quite sure they do...*drops an absent kiss on Shishi's forehead*
Shishido: I'm sure I don't need to find out. *blinks at the kiss but doesn't comment* My sex life isn't that desperate yet
Yuushi: It shouldn't be desperate at all...*has forgotten the context they're talking in, momentarily lost in memories that aren't his*
Shishido: That's what I think too. But I guess fate disagrees.
Yuushi: *hugs him closer*
Shishido: Better be careful... don't want me to think you're offering to tempt fate here
Yuushi: *laughs* I thought you said I was always tempting...
Shishido: *chuckles* Tch like you need the ego boost
Yuushi: Maybe I do? *grins and tickles Shishi lightly down the feathers, actually reliving an old au memory to the T*
Shishido: *laughs at the fingers since it tickles more than arouses along his wings and makes them shake* You're not going to get it by tickling! *doesn't even realize anything is odd about this conversation* You have to earn your ego boost.
Yuushi: I guess I'll have to earn it the way I do everything else...*tips Shishi's head up more to seal his lips over the other's*
Shishido: *eyes go wide a moment before he decides to just go with it and to kiss back, enjoying the feel of his lips and being held*
Yuushi: *deepening the kiss, very much enjoying the making out, after all this is his boyfriend, yes?*
Shishido: *not nearly lost in memories as Yuushi is but was hurt and is enjoying this and can't seem to find anything wrong with kissing Yuushi right now enough to stop and so fully encourages it with a slight hum in the back of his throat* mmm
Yuushi: *continues until there's a musical beep from his laptop, indicating that he has email, jarring him from the memories, disorientingly breaks away from Shishi* Ryou...what...*blinks*
Shishido: *was content to ignore the sound until Oshitari pulls away from the kiss* Huh? *lazily opens his eyes* ignore it. *leans back in to kiss him*
Yuushi: *can quickly seperate the memories now that he's aware and breaks the second kiss* Ryou. We can't.
Shishido: *frowns* Why not? It's just kissing... *was enjoying himself and was distracted from Choutarou and doesn't see a problem with that*
Yuushi: I wouldn't mind if I thought we wouldn't regret it later...perhaps there is something to this Kite's theory about our memories...
Shishido: You were only kissing me because of that? *ruffles slightly and starts to withdraw from Yuushi's hold*
Yuushi: For some reason, I assumed we were dating...*keeps Shishi still with arms still around him* Stop that. I have nothing against kissing you. I would just rather do it of my own free will than because I am lost in some strange memory that is not my own.
Shishido: *lets himself be held in place with a long sigh before muttering something that sounds like sorry* didn't mean to take advantage of you... Kite did that to me and it sucks.
Yuushi: He what? *eyes narrow*
Shishido: *doesn't notice the eyes narrowing* He wanted to know if his theory was right and kept pushing me for answers I couldn't give... *shrugs* Decided to push to see for himself.
Yuushi: He touched you?
Shishido: Yeah... it wasn't a high point of my day let me tell you that.
Yuushi: *frowns, this is another black mark on Kite* I can imagine. *lays back* Kissing me isn't likely to make you feel better, however.
Shishido: At least he stopped before going too far. *makes a face at the thought of not being in control that much and feels sorry for his mate* And the kissing wasn't hurting.... was a nice distraction.
Yuushi: Well then...so long as you never breathe a word of it to anyone in this house...
Shishido: I'm not desperate enough to be suicidal.
Yuushi: Good. I happen to like my skin unbranded.
Shishido: You should just get a tattoo that says property of Akira and Koujiro and beat them to it.
Yuushi: *smirks* I have enough tattoos.
Shishido: Guess it's for the best anyway... who knows if you'll all be together ten or twenty years down the road. I hear tattoos are a bitch to remove.
Yuushi: *frowns* Of course we will be. I could have the tattoos I have no removed if I wished, but at the moment they serve as a reminder.
Shishido: You hope... but people rarely stay together nowadays *still in a pissy mood about finding out his mate had slept with Kite* And reminders for what?
Yuushi: *ignores that, there's no reason to think they won’t be together later* Reminders...of what lengths I can go to do what I need to do.
Shishido: *doesn't think he's ever seen the tattoos and is now distracted from kissing and Kite by wanting to know more* Can I see them? What are they of?
Yuushi: *Shishido's the only one he trusts almost as much as Akira and Koujirou so he shrugs* You will have to move...they are on my back.
Shishido: *hesitates a moment before pulling back and moving to perch on the arm of the couch* When did you get them?
Yuushi: *sitting up, slowly unbuttoning his shirt* When I was in New York.
Shishido: *nods and watches with interest as Yuushi removes his shirt*
Yuushi: *turns so Shishi can see the marks on his back, the black king chess piece in the small of his back, along with a black secret design from Tessa of the New York Hellfire Inner Circle. There are also several small scars dotted down the length of his back from Tessa's torture of him*
Shishido: Looks at them before leaning forward to trace a finger along the tattoos and then the scars, understands the chess piece but doesn't get the other design* Looks like something did a number on you. *fingers tracing over the scars* And what does the other tattoo mean?
Yuushi: It's an eye. A watching eye.
Shishido: That's a bit weird... *traces it again* What does that remind you of?
Yuushi: That I'm being watched, of course.
Shishido: By who?
Yuushi: *looks over his shoulder* Does it matter?
Shishido: *shrugs* Not really, but thought if you're sharing there's no point stopping now
Yuushi: *shrugs, reaching for his shirt* I suppose, then, that you could say I was a pet of sorts while I was in New York...and my 'master' is always watching.
Shishido: You? Playing pet and having a master? Why do I find that hard to believe.
Yuushi: Most likely because I prefer to be the master myself...*shrugs his shirt back on*
Shishido: Yeah that would be exactly it. *sits back on the arm of the couch properly now that there's no tattoos to play with* So if your master's always watching... that mean they're watching the rest of us?
Yuushi: I'm sure she has better things to do than watch me. The purpose was to make me paranoid, I'm sure. She's no telepath. *snorts*
Shishido: She made you get it? *chuckles slightly amused by this woman*
Yuushi: She would have done it herself, I'm sure, if she was as good with a tattoo needle as she is with her stillettos...
Shishido: Stiellettos?! Tell me those scars on your back aren't from heels... *doesn' t know if he should be impressed by her or not if it's true*
Yuushi: *looks at Shishi with an air of indifference* They should be. She did walk up and down my back repeatedly.
Shishido: *chuckles and decides that he's had enough information about this woman for one night* Bet your boyfriends would just love her huh?
Yuushi: Akira swore he would gut her. *smirks* But I doubt I will ever see her again.
Shishido: Really? Maybe it's for the best...
Yuushi: Of course. She won't live long should I ever cross paths with her again...*smirks*
Shishido: See, I knew you and masters didn't go together
Yuushi: I don't mind having a master...so long as I agree with it beforehand.
Shishido: And you didn't agree? *is curious because he knows he only got the super edited cliff notes abridged version of what happened in New York*
Yuushi: No. I did not.
Shishido: Interesting... One of these days I'm gonna have to get the full story out of you about your trip there.
Yuushi: *chuckles without much humor* Is is not exactly a bedtime story, Ryou.
Shishido: I didn't mean tonight. But one night. *looks out the window and sighs* Is it okay if I stay here today? Don't feel like going back...
Yuushi: Of course. This is your home too.
Shishido: Thanks... I appreciate it. *stands and stretches out his arms and wings* I guess I should head over to my room and let you get back to work. *doesn't really want to but doesn't want to bug Yuushi anymore with his crap either*
Yuushi: If you'd rather stay and be distracted more...*smirks, half teasing Shishi about the kissing*
Shishido: *eyes drift to Yuushi's lips and his wings ruffle slightly* ... I wouldn't mind the company... *sits back down on the arm again* but if you have a book or something that would be cool.
Yuushi: If that's all you want..*gestures to the bookcases in his study* Feel free. Perhaps I'll just take a nap...*lays back on his couch*
Shishido: The book's safer *looks at Yuushi as he sprawls and rolls his eyes* If you're tired just go to bed, I will survive on my own you know... *walking over to the shelves to find a book that catches his eye and that will kill the last couple of hours before he can actually get to sleep*
Yuushi: *cracks an eye open* I'd rather be nearby, if its all the same to you. You may read at the desk if you want. *laptop is on screensaver, not concerned about it, nothing Shishi would understand since his notes are encrypted*
Shishido: *acts like it doesn't matter to him but appreciates the gesture* Whatever you want, the desk chair looks comfier anyway. *grabs a book and sits, looks at the computer a moment before deciding it's not worth messing around with and pushes it aside before settling down on the chair careful of his wings and preparing to read, sneaking glances over at Yuushi*
Yuushi: *occasionally opening his eyes to look at Shishido before finally closing them and dozing lightly*
Shishido: *once sure that Yuushi's asleep he puts the book down and just stares off into the distance, eyes occasionally drifting back to Yuushi as he thinks about what's happened lately and what he should do and if things will be alright in the future* ...
