Ketsueki and Aisoku 8

Ketsueki lightly taps on the door to Aisoku's room, calling out quietly. "Ai...?"
Aisoku, who had been sprawled out on his bed reading a text book replies, "Hai?" There is a chipper ring in his voice, making it very apparent he knows who's at his door
Ketsueki slowly opens the door, glancing in, though he's silent.
Aisoku sits up on his bed, sitting the book into his lap. "Konnichiwa!" he chirps.
Ketsueki can't help but smile slightly, "Konnichiwa.." he murmurs quietly, stepping into the room and shutting the door behind him.
Aisoku points to a tall dress dummy near the wall, wearing an evening blue kimono of perfect stitching. "You like?"
Ketsueki looks at the kimono quietly for a long while, giving a small nod. "Hai...you..made that?"
Aisoku nods, smiling broadly, "Hai! Just for you."
Ketsueki looks at Aisoku. "Arigatou, Ai.."
Aisoku smiles, "I think you'll look nice in it..." he blushes a little.
Ketsueki smiles, blushing slightly himself and nodding in silence.
Aisoku smiles, holding up his hand to Ketsueki, "Sit?"
Ketsueki gives a small nod, moving over to Aisoku and slowly sitting down.
Aisoku smiles, hugging Ketsueki. "I missed you at school today."
Ketsueki turns an intense shade of red. "Did you...?"
Aisoku leans closer, "Hai...I don't really have any friends at school....they all kinda ignore me..."
Ketsueki frowns slightly. ".......but are they mean?"
Aisoku flinches, "Iie...not mean exactly..." he leans back a little, "They just..."
Ketsueki frowns, his body tensing slightly. "They just..?"
Aisoku releases Ketsueki fully, shrugging and trying to smile, "Nothing."
Ketsueki watches him. "Tell me."
Aisoku bites his lower lip, "Well...it's because of what they all heard about my father...and about me...mostly from Karusu-san..."
Ketsueki holds back his quiet growl at the sound of Karusu's name. "I see..."
Aisoku shakes his head, "Just....forget it."
Ketsueki hms quietly, after a moment lying back on the bed, the small scowl still present on his lips.
Aisoku grins, shifting and laying down on top of Ketsueki. He smiles, "Ket-chan.....don't be upset."
Ketsueki turns bright red again, looking at Aisoku.
Aisoku sighs, leaning down into Ketsueki. "I really did miss you.."
Ketsueki continues to blush. "..I still don't see why you have to go to school.." he mutters
Aisoku sighs, "Gomen...But it's law."
Ketsueki continues to watch Ai, giving a small nod. "Yeah.."
Aisoku smiles, "Don't worry though....winter vacation soon..."
Ketsueki cocks his head slightly. "Does that mean they don't make you go anymore?"
Aisoku smiles, "We always get off for a while during the winter. But we have to go back within a few weeks."
Ketsueki gives a quiet sigh, but says nothing.
Aisoku sighs, "Don't be upset....."
Ketsueki shakes his head. "I'm not upset..."
Aisoku frowns, "Then what is it?"
Ketsueki gives a small shrug. "I don't like you gone."
Aisoku smiles, blushing, "That's so sweet, Ket-chan....."
Ketsueki blushes himself, scowling. "No it's not."
Aisoku laughs, jabbing Ketsueki in the forehead, "Is so, is so, is so......"
Ketsueki twitches. "It is not!"
Aisoku laughs, snuggling Ketsueki, "Is...." he purrs.
Ketsueki turns even redder. "Is not...."
Aisoku smiles, "So...why don't you come to school with me if you miss me so much?"
Ketsueki blinks. "...go to school with you..?"
Aisoku smiles, "Sure! Who would know the difference? And it would give you something to do all day."
Ketsueki frowns slightly. "..I don't think that would be good.."
Aisoku blinks, "...Why not?"
Ketsueki slowly shakes his head. "..I don't really like being around so many people...plus...I wouldn't know what to do.."
Aisoku smiles weakly, "Suppose you're right."
Ketsueki hms quietly. "..if you really want me to, I can go.."
Aisoku shakes his head, "Do what you want, Ket-chan."
Ketsueki frowns slightly, closing his eyes.
Aisoku blinks, "What's the matter.....?"
Ketsueki slowly shakes his head. "Nothing."
Aisoku sighs, "You can't lie to me."
Ketsueki shakes his head again. "Nothing is wrong."
Aisoku frowns, "Ket-chan...."
Ketsueki gives a small smile. "Why are you worrying, Ai? Nothing is wrong."
Aisoku shakes his head, "Never mind....."
Ketsueki puts his arms about Aisoku's waist, remaining silent.
Aisoku blushes, "Ket-chan....Seki said you and he had a nice talk..."
Ketsueki opens one eye, nodding. "Yeah, I don't hate him."
Aisoku smiles, "Thank you for trying to be nice....Seki doesn't have many friends. I'm sure he appreciated it."
Ketsueki gives a small nod. "He doesn't deserve my hatred..."
Aisoku smiles, "I'm glad."
Ketsueki smiles slightly. "Yeah, well, he's not a jerk like.." he trails off.
Aisoku frowns, "...Like....?"
Ketsueki hns. "Karusu."
Aisoku sighs, "Ket-chan...please try to understand Karusu-san...."
Ketsueki growls. "Try to understand what?"
Aisoku frowns, "Well....K..Ket-chan please, just....."
Ketsueki doesn't move, nor does he speak.
Aisoku's shoulder's slump, "Gomen...."
