Part 6

Shinya smiled as he woke, snuggling deeper into his blankets. Last 
night, Die stayed with him until he fell asleep, talking about almost 
everything imaginable, and yet, nothing at all. At the end, he left 
with only a kiss to Shinya's forehead. //Okay, so I wasn't 
asleep...// Shinya smiled. //I wonder if he's still here... or did 
he go home?//

A clang of a pan in the kitchen caused another smile. //He's 
cooking... wait--does Die know HOW to cook??// Shinya shot out of 
bed and rushed to the kitchen.

Die, hearing Shinya's approach, turned and smiled at Shinya. "Good 
morning, Kyo."

Shinya blinked. "Huh? Die, I--"

"Oh! It's YOU Shinya! Hard to tell with that messy hair ne..."

Shinya unconciously lifted a hand to his hair, feeling its disheveled 
condition. He frowned. "Yeah, good morning my ass." Shinya spun 
around on the heel of his foot and started to walk away, only to have 
Die chase him, wrappin garms around his waist and pulling the 
protesting drummer back to the kitchen.

"Come on, Shin-chan, you know I was just teasing." He began to kiss 
down Shinya's neck.

"Mmmm... Die...."

"Yeah?" His kisses reached to Shinya's collar bone.

"What are you making?"

"Breakfast."

"What is it?"

Die stopped and led Shinya to the table, making him sit 
down. "Omlete." (do they make them in Japan? I'm sure some do, 
so... ::waves an Artistic Liscense:: ) He went back to the 
stove. "Have any meat you want in it or are you satisfied with just 
egg and cheese?"

"In the fridge I have a plate with a bag of meat in it. Put some of 
that in there."

"Okie dokie." (Please, Die, say that someday? ^^) He got the meat 
and paused. "Is this fish?"

Shinya shook his head. "No... its some exotic meat my butcher gets."

Die nodded. "Sou." He cut a few bits off and put it into each 
omlete. He hummed as it cooked, causing Shinya to smile 
more. "Almost done."

Shinya nodded and got up, pouring drinks. "I hope you cook well."

"Not many things are on my 'can-cook' list, but what's on there I do 
well." He smiled and put the omletes on plates, then on the table as 
Shinya sat down with the drinks. "I hope you approve." He smiled.

"Doubtful." Shinya replied softly, eyes flickering up with a teasing 
smile.

Die pouted. "Mean, Shin-chan."

"Just getting yuou back." He pointed to his hair before sticking a 
forkfull in his mouth.

Die watched as Shinya chewed, hoping for some acknowledgement of his 
excellent cooking skills. When no reaction showed after swallowing, 
Die pouted more. "Well?"

Shinya slowly locked his eyes with Die's, saying in a serious 
voice, "You taste better."

Die paused slightly. "Do you mean I taste awful, so then my omletes 
are really bad?" He pouted.

Shinya smiled slyly. "No, I mean that these taste good, but, I like 
you better." //That was so corny!// Shinay scolded himself inwardly.

Die smiled. "Sou desu?" Shinya looked down, continuing to eat, and 
nodded. Die watched Shinya for a bit before eating his 
omlete. "Mmm.. this meat tastes like pork."

Shinya shook his head. "Better."

Die nodded. "Better." He kept eating, finishing before Shinya. He 
continued to watch Shinya s the younger man ate, watching as his eyes 
flicked up, watching Die as well. Shinya slowed in his eating, 
ending up stopping and staring at the guitarist. "Shinya?"

"Yeah?"

"Let's skip practice today."

"And do what?"

"What I wanted to do last night." Die smiled.

"And that would be?"

Die stood up and walked to Shinya, pulling him to stand up, and 
slowly kissing him. As their lips parted, Shinya's eyes drifted up 
to meet Die's. "Spend time with you."

Shinya's face softened. "Die..."

Die stroked Shinya's cheek. "We can rent a movie and sit on the 
couch together and when its done we can..."

Shinya put a finger on Die's lips. "Okay."

"I don't think you shoudl come to practice today." Kaoru's voice 
came over the phone.

"Why?" Toshiya asked, curling up on his couch.

"I don't think... its safe."

Toshiya frowned. "For who, Kaoru? Me or the band? You think I did 
it, don't you?" His voice raised, trying to conceal the tears 
starting to fall down his cheeks.

"Well, the evi--"

"What fucking evidence, Kaoru? They found my ring that I hadn't even 
seen before! Do you trust them or me?"

"I--"

"Them or me?"

"...Toshi--"

"You trust them, you bastard." Toshiya turned off his phone and 
threw it across the room, burying his face in the arm of the couch, 
letting his tears run freely.

"So, we won't be coming in today. Tell Kaoru, will ya?" Kyo could 
almost see the smirk coming from Die over the phone.

"You suck." Kyo frowned.

"I hope. Bai Kyo!" Die hung up.

Kyo blinked a couple times before hanging up the phone, covering his 
ears and saying, "My virgin ears! Tainted!"

"Virgin my ass." Kaoru commented as he came in, immediately going 
for his cigarettes. "Who was that?"

"Die. He says he and Shinya are too busy playing kissy-face to come 
into practice." Kyo answered, plopping into a large fluffy chair and 
curling up. "Can I just sleep then? We can't do much without a 
guitar or drum."

"Or bass."

Kyo blinked. "Totchi's not coming? Why?"

"He's sick."

"He was fine when I left the apartment."

Kaoru shrugged, looking out the window.

Kyo blinked. "Kaoru?"

Kaoru made a small noise of acknowledgement.

"What's wrong?"

Kaoru looked back. "Kyo, come with me to the bar, will ya?"

//He looks... hurt...// "Sure."
