Title: Good Charlotte's The Chronicles of Life and Death; I Just Wanna Live.

 

AN: This story is turning out to be a bit AU considering that Iori's dad is still around and some other little things that are popping up.

 

CHAPTER4

 

“… and so I'd say that we're finally bringing Iori-kun out of his shell. I'll bring the pictures we took up the hospital tomorrow so you can see our blossoming hottie for yourself. So Dai-chan what are you doing besides sleeping and being annoyed by me?”

 

“Well I tried watching some TV but as usual when you're looking for something interesting to watch there's nothing on. So I bugged my parents into going out and getting me some new mangas and magazines and that's keeping me entertained for now but by the time I'm released they may just transfer me straight to the psychiatric ward because I've gone stir crazy” Daisuke answers Takeru's question while laughing lightly so as not to disturb his aching ribs. “The worst part is I can't even play with my Game Boy Advanceâ„¢ because of this stupid broken arm. Arghh, I want another go at those stupid jerks for doing this to me, they tell me now that I am going to miss the entire soccer season because of my injures. You're going to miss the rest of the basketball season too aren't you, damn this sucks big time. Oops sorry about that Janice, you didn't hear that. What? Oh I'm talking to Takeru. Yeah he's the other guy who was beaten up at school. Wha… Okay… I will. Heh, Takeru sorry about that, my newest adoring fangirl, fan lady, fan whatever, told me to tell you to remember whatever it was that Carol talked to you about and to hurry up and say something, whatever that means. Also I have to say goodbye, she's telling me that its time for all good little future psychiatric patients to go to bed, so I'll see you tomorrow right?”

 

“Yeah, my mom and I will be up to see you in the morning. She's going to come up and see how you're doing before going to work. She's letting me stay with you during the day then Yama's going to come by later to see you and then take me home after visiting hours are over. So you will definitely see me. Bye Dai-chan, sleep well.”

 

“Bye Take-chan you get some sleep too, see you tomorrow.”

 

~Back to the Mall~

 

Iori pushed through the double doors into the food court area where he was to meet his date. It took a minute of wandering around before he was able to spot Scott slowly walking in front of him and scanning the crowd. Iori grinned at seeing that he was not the only one tonight who was sporting a new look. Scott was still wearing his long bangs down in his eyes but someone had cut his dark brown hair on the back and the top of his head shorter and used something to make it stand up hap hazardously. Instead of his normal school clothes he was wearing a pair of tight really dark blue jeans and brown Doc. Martins. He was also wearing a tight white long sleeve shirt made out of a material that seemed to shimmer as he moved. To round out the ensemble he was wearing a silver watch on his left wrist and a simple silver bracelet on his right. Around his neck he wore a woven black leather necklace with a Chinese coin hanging from it.

 

Scott turned to scan the area behind him just as Iori was approaching. “Iori!” he called out upon seeing his date and pulling him into a hug.

 

“Hi Scott,” Iori answered back after being released from the slightly embarrassing hug. “You look good” Iori told him gazing into his hazel colored eyes “really sexy.”

 

Scott laughed and shot back “yeah well look at you, hell I almost didn't recognize you what with the new hair cut and all. You look really hot.”

 

The two of them just stood there for a few seconds admiring each other before Scott grabbed Iori's hand and the two of them began wandering the mall together. “So Iori what do you want to do tonight, I figured that since this is a date we'd skip the fast food places and instead go eat at either that Mexican restaurant, Hispania, or we could go across the street to Chilesâ„¢ or one of those restaurants, your choice.”

 

“Mexican sounds good and this away we don't have to fight the traffic going and coming back. Lead the way my good man.”

 

The boys put their names on the waiting list for a table for two, and after being told that it would be a thirty minute wait they walked the short distance to the movie theater to decide on a movie that might interest them both.

 

“Man there is not much choice right now. I don't know about you but even if we are on a date romance movies hold no interest for me, especially het romance movies.”

 

“Me too, so that leaves an action movie with some unknown actors or a stupid sci-fi comedy, not a whole lot of choice.”

 

“Lets try the action movie and if it's no good we can leave early and go wander around the stores, maybe tell each other about ourselves, and enjoy each others company. How does that sound?”

“Sounds like a plan to me” Iori said as he used their still connected hands to lead Scott towards the ticket counter. They ignored the look the girl behind the counter gave them and paid for two tickets. They then went back to the restaurant to wait. After a few minutes they were surprised to hear their names called but made no comment as they were lead to a table. Before they could give their menus more than a cursory glance the waiter came to their table. “What can I get you gentlemen to drink tonight?”

 

“Coke for me” Scott answered before looking at Iori questioningly.

 

“Water with lemon please” Iori informed the waiter. They waited for the server to walk away before picking their menus back up to find something to order. “I have had Mexican before but there's some stuff on here that I haven't seen before, like this p word for example.”

 

“Lets see… p-word, oh you mean paella¹; yeah I think that this restaurant serves traditional Spanish food as well as Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. According to the menu the paella is a dish of saffron flavored rice with shellfish, chicken, and vegetables; hey that does sound pretty good what else is in here.”

 

“I think that I'm going to stick to what I know and order the beef enchilada platter” Iori told an amused Scott.

 

“Okay then I'm gonna order the (a Mexican dish)” Scott announced as the server returned to their table.

 

While waiting for their meal to arrive the two dug into the complimentary chips and salsa and made small talk trying to get to know one another better. They enjoyed the atmosphere and again ignored the few stares they received when they held hands across the table and jokingly feed each other chips and bites of each others food after it arrived. Their waiter got a kick out of serving such a young openly gay couple and even `forgot' to add their drinks to their ticket giving the two of them a small discount which they added to the generous tip they left.

 

Having just eaten they felt no need to visit the concession stand at the movie theater. Instead they spent a couple of dollars trying to win a stuffed animal from a crane drop machine and just as they were about to give up Scott came up with an orange cat plushy that was obviously meant to represent Kyo from Fruits Basket. Scott presented his prize to a blushing Iori with a kiss on the cheek and the two happily made their way into the nearly empty theater. After the two of them had taken seats near the back they sat watching the previews and commercials that precede every movie. They keep trading shy glances until Scott muttered out loud “this is stupid.” He then leaned over and pressed his lips against the slightly startled Iori's. Iori quickly recovered and to his own amusement he began to enjoy the feeling of the other boy's mouth against his. He too began to participate fully, moving his lips and trying to memorize the feel and feelings that this seemingly simple action was producing. The two of them broke apart for air after a few minutes and leaned back to fully gaze upon each other. Suddenly they realized that they were in a public place but after glancing around they noticed that no one was paying them any attention. There was an older couple with several kids sitting way towards the front and several other couples doing exactly what they had been doing a few minutes ago but that was it. Happy to have the now dark theater to themselves the two snuggled back down close together and proceeded to practice their newfound kissing skills on each other through most of the movie.

 

After making out for what they figured to be three-fourths of the movie the two of them left to wander through various stores enjoying each others company.

 

“Okay I have to admit, that was about the most fun I've ever had at a movie and I don't remember any of it” Iori laughingly told his new boyfriend. Yes boyfriend they had decided to try dating. “Well I suppose this brings the number of out students up to ten including us.”

 

“Te-ten who else do you know of besides your friends Daisuke and Takeru?”

 

“Well there's Taichi Yagami and his boyfriend Koushiro Izumi. They have had to stay in the closet for the past few years because Tai is…”

 

“Hikari's older brother, of course, knowing her that makes sense. I guess the rest of her family is just as homophobic as she is huh?”

 

“Worse, Tai finally had enough and came out to his parents Thursday night and they tried to kill him. He has several bruises and they actually cracked two of his ribs. They then threw him out of the house and destroyed most of his belongings. He's now staying with the Izumi's.”

“Wow that's rough, so what's going to happen to him now?”

 

“Well the hospital has pictures and the doctors description of the injures on record as well as statements from some of the witnesses. They are not pressing charges right now but if Tai's parents decide that they want Tai back only to hurt him some more then the Izumi's should have enough evidence to prevent them from succeeding. It sad but none of us believe that Tai's parents will ever come to accept that their son is gay so Tai loses either his family or Izzy and he is not giving Izzy up without a fight.”

 

“So now that I know about Taichi's situation who else do you know that is gay?”

 

“Sora Takenouchi is dating another friend of ours who had to move to America. They're open to dating other people but Sora is trying to get into an American university with Mimi. Jyou Kido and Yamato Ishiida have been together since they were thirteen and twelve. They have had to keep it a secret because of Taichi's situation but now that Tai is out I'm sure that they will waste no more time being open about their relationship.”

 

“So what about you and your parents how are they taking this news?”

 

“They are not ecstatic about it but they want me to be happy so they are trying to adjust to the idea of their only son bringing guys home instead of girls. Actually they are being great about the whole situation, I mean no parent really wants their kid to be gay but thankfully Tai's parents are the only ones that have flipped out about it the rest of my friends families have been really accepting.”

 

“That's good to hear, I have been out to my own family for a while now. For the most part they have accepted it and support me. My parents are always worrying about me getting beat up because I'm gay. The attack on your friends hasn't helped their paranoia any either. I just hope that justice is done and those creeps aren't allowed to get away scot-free.”

 

“From everything I've heard they are getting the book thrown at them hard, and even if the criminal justice system doesn't put them away the school is finally starting to act like they care. We won't have to face them in school again and their friends have been warned against approaching any of us. I feel a bit bad about their scholarships being revoked and messing up their future, but then again they might have easily destroyed any chance of Takeru and Daisuke playing sports again with their attack so I can't feel too bad about it.”

 

“Okay how's about we forget about those low life's and talk about something more important, like how would this shirt look on me?” Scott asked Iori in a obviously deliberate attempt to turn the conversation to much less depressing topics.

 

~Hikari's POV~

 

Hikari watched as Iori and Scott continued to browse through the clothing racks of the Aerostale store they were in. It almost made her sick to watch the two of them exchange caresses, small kisses, and especially those smoldering looks that made it seem like the two of them were going to have their way with each other right in the middle of the store. (AN: visualizing that scene, drool)

 

Humph, I guess Iori really is going along with his threat. He and his little flaming outfit, and his little flaming boyfriend over there are going to get it someday soon, just like Daisuke and Takeru. It didn't take much to convince those muscle heads that Takeru and Daisuke had probably been checking them out in the locker-room this whole time and then they of their own initiative go and pound a little sense in those two idiots' heads. I hate that they were hurt so badly but if it helps them see the dangers of being gay and brings them back to the side of rightness then it'll be worth it. Only now Iori's joined them in their perversion and even my own brother has been corrupted into that lifestyle. God it makes me angry to think that sweet little Koushiro could become the one who drags my brother down to hell with him. I have to convince mom and dad that they have to bring Taichi home so we can cure him of this sickness he's contracted. Boy do I have my work cut out for me, sweet little Takeru and the adorably hyperactive Daisuke, innocent little Iori, my own dear brother, and Koushiro who should be smarter than this, all of them have to be made to see that what they're doing goes against everything the Light stands for. And I'm the one who has to do it, alone if necessary.

 

TBC…

 

AN: Sorry about the delays but I'm in the middle of getting out of college, finding a full-time job, working at my part-time job and a dozen other things that I have to do right now, so if my updates are a little sporadic please forgive me.

 

1: paella (pronounced pi-a-ah) is just as I told you up top a rice dish flavored with saffron and containing shellfish, chicken, other meats, and various vegetables!
