Itadakimasu!

Part 2

"...bodies found with the muscle cut out, thus causing the police to 
point to the conclusion that canibalism was involved..." Kaoru 
frowned as he heard the report come from the TV. Ever since it began 
to happen, he feared for his bandmates. Who wouldn't want to have a 
bite of Toshiya or Die or.. even him? Even Kyo would make a nice 
little snack.. maybe not Shinya. Kaoru snickered at his own thought 
before he could stop himself, thinking of someone trying to find some 
meat on Shinya.

He walked back into the living room with some drinks for himself and 
Toshiya, who was watching the news report. He sat down next to the 
bishounen, placing the drinks on the coffee table before wrapping an 
arm around Toshiya. Toshiya snuggled up to Kaoru, hand over the 
guitarist's chest, and sighed. "Kaoru..."

"Mmmm?" He curled his fingers into Toshiya's hair, combing the 
strands softly.

"Can.. can I stay here.. overnight?" Toshiya closed his eyes 
softly. "I don't really want to be home with someone who thinks that 
cannibalism is cool."

Kaoru smiled, pulling Toshiya up and kissing his lips 
lighlty. "Sure."

Toshiya's eyes widened, fingers drifting upward to his lips, touching 
them softly. "Kaoru..." he whispered, almost unheard.

"I made us tea." Kaoru smiled at Toshiya, handing the startled man 
the warm cup. "It's still hot, so don't drink it too fast." When 
Toshiya didn't take the cup, Kaoru took his hand and wrapped it 
around the cup, smiling at himself before getting his own. "I hope 
you like it."

Toshiya's mind slowly ebbed back to reality and he sipped at his tea, 
eyes never leaving Kaoru. //He kissed me... he kissed me and.. and 
he's acting like it was nothing!// Tears pricked at Toshiya's eyes 
and he finally looked down, suddenly very interested in the 
tea. //Maybe he drugged it and wants to ravish me?// He giggled 
slightly. //Waa.. he doesn't have to drug me naaa....//

"Toshiya..."

"Hai?" Toshiya didn't dare look up.

"Are you gonna sleep with me?" It sounded innocent, but--

Toshiya choked on his tea, hurriedly putting it on the table and 
clutching his chest, coughing. "Whaa??" He coughed more, trying to 
catch his breath.

"Are you okay??" Kaoru touched Toshiya's shoulder, watching the 
younger man nod. "I'm sorry."

Toshiya shook his head. "No.. no..." he was regaining his 
composure, "I'm okay... what was it you asked again?"

"I uh.. asked if you were gonna sleep with me tonight." He smiled oh-
so-sweetly.

Toshiya blinked, trying to figure out if it really WAS an innocent 
offer. "What?"

"Tonight. Are you gonna sleep in my bed with me or out here? I'd 
prefer in my bed cuz you'll get sick out here..."

Toshiya sighed inwardly. //Innocent....// "Yeah, I'll sleep with 
you."

Kaoru smiled. "Good."

Kyo opened the freezer, looking for something interesting to eat, and 
saw it riddled with various sized Tupperware containers, labeled in 
Toshiya's scribble. "What's this stuff??" He pulled it out and 
shrugged, getting out some bread and flopping a couple pieces on a 
plate, spooning out some of the mystery substance on the bread before 
nuking it in the microwave.

He frowned at the look of it, but when it came out, he stuck it all 
together like a sandwhich and drenched it in barbeque sauce. //LA 
screwed up my food sense...// He took out a fork and knife and sat 
in front of the TV with his creation, eating so quickly he couldn't 
even taste it.

After his expiramental meal, Kyo felt quite heavy in the stomach and 
rinsed off his plate before walking to his room, stripping on the way 
and leaving his clothes on the floor. He flopped into bed in just 
his boxers, not even bothering to get under the covers before falling 
asleep on the comfortable mattress.

Shinya shook his head, listening to the news report. "Sickos..." he 
took out his vegetable drink and drank it in a few breaths before 
picking up his little puppy and walking to his room, curling up under 
the sheets and reading while petting his beloved pet. "Hmm.. I 
should go shopping tommorow, ne Puppy? I have no food left in my 
house!" He giggled, poking Puppy's tongue. "Maybe get you some more 
treats?"

Puppy barked excitedly.

Shinya smiled. "Okay! Tommorow after practice I'll go shopping and 
bring you back something yummy from the butcher!"

Puppy licked Shinya's face in thanks.

Toshiya gasped soundlessly as he felt Kaoru's arms wrap around his 
waist and his body press against the his own. "Kaoru?" Toshiya 
whispered, uncertain.

"Totchi?"

Toshiya's breath was shuddered, trying to keep it regular. "What.. 
what are you doing?"

"Just getting comfortable... you don't mind, do you?" He asked while 
squeezing Toshiya's waist slightly with his arms.

Toshiya shook his head, forgetting for a moment that Kaoru couldn't 
see him before saying, "No.. I don't mind... but..."

"But?"

"Kaoru... why.. why did you kiss me...?" //There, I asked...//

Kaoru smiled. "It just... felt right."

"Sou..." Toshiya's voice was just above a whisper as he shakily let 
out, "Can... can it just feel right.... right now?"

"I don't know... you tell me." Kaoru's voice was closer, brushing 
against Toshiya's lips.

"I..." Toshiya swallowed. "I... yes..."

"I see."

Toshiya closed his eyes.. but nothing happened. "Kaoru?"

"Yes?"

"Aren't you... aren't you going to.. kiss me?"

"No."

Toshiya's throat tightened.

"You're going to kiss me."

Toshiya's eyes widened again. "Kaoru?"

"Kiss me. I kissed you, now... if you want more, you have to 
initiate it..."

"Kaoru... I..."

"Goodnight, Toshiya." Kaoru smirked. //One... two.... three... 
four...//

Toshiya slowly brushed his lips against Kaoru's, feeling a rush of 
anticipation wash through his body. Kaoru's arms slid up to his 
back, pressing them close as Toshiya kissed Kaoru. Toshiya sighed 
into Kaoru's mouth, whimpering as he felt Kaoru's tongue slide along 
his lower lip before pulling away. "Kao.."

"Oyasumi, Totchi."

"Uh.. yeah.. oyasumi..."
