SICK OF SECRETS- ch. 18

 

YUKI

 

Well… it's not as if I didn't know that I would see Kyo a lot more. Which sucks. But oh well…

We were in my bedroom. Normally I wouldn't let anyone in here. Except maybe Ms. Honda… wait, no! I did not mean that. Anyway, we were in my room. I was doing my homework and he was cleaning my room.

 

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

 

 

I can't figure out this problem… skip it. I haven't been paying much attention in class today… or rather all week.

I heard a loud crashing sound.

“Aieeeeee!!” Kyo yelled.

“Kyo!” that idiot got himself buried under the stuff in my closet. I walked over to him. “Kyo…” I poked him, “… You dead?”

He got up in rage. “What the hell is with you?! What's with all this junk?!”

“Just stuff… but what where YOU doing in my closet?” I asked.

“Hah! I could ask the same of you, you damn rat!”

“Huh?”

“Oh, c'mon! you are SO gay, askin' me to do your dirty work!” Kyo sneered. “Just say it. YOU LOVE ME!!” Kyo yelled sarcastically. “Is it my hair?” he stroked his orange hair.

“In your dreams.” I said. “Your hair looks like throw-up.”

“Yea, well yours looks like… CONCRETE!!”

“oh, good comeback” I rolled my eyes.

 

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service

 

That night…

 

It's cold tonight. I'm thinking about going downstairs to the laundry room to get an extra blanket. I sit up from my bed and walk to the door.

“Hey.” Kyo said. I jumped out of fright.

“What the hell are you doing outside my door this late at night?!”

“I brought you this…” Kyo handed me a blanket.

“Why?”

“Cause... you know… your asthma and stuff.” Kyo looked down. “Besides, I was going downstairs anyway… so yea.” I gave him a weird face.

“Thanks… I guess.”

“AND… I know what your hair reminds me of…” It took him this long…?

“what's that?” I sighed.

“LINT!!” Kyo laughed and walked into his room. What a weirdo!

 

That morning at school…

 

“Kyoooooooooooo!!Yuuuuuuuuuuuki!!” Haru smiled.

“Hey!” Kyo replied. Is it just me or does he seem happier these days?

“Kyon. Today.” Haru said sternly.

“Fine… And don't call me that!”

“Yuki, you can come too.” Haru said.

“Where?” I asked.

“Oh… here and there.”

“Not another club, right?” Kyo whispered.

“Nah.” Haru smiled. “Let's all go to… the woods!”

“The woods… right by our house?” Kyo asked.

“Is there another woods?”

“You're an idiot. What kind of `hangin out' is right outside their own house?”

“Uh… well… then how about… Oh I know!” Haru clapped his hands. “meet me after school!” he walked off.

“Where do you think…?” me and Kyo asked in unison.

 

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

“You remembered!” Haru smiled waving.

“Yea. Now tell us where we're going!” Kyo said.

“Patience my friend, patience.” Haru patted his shoulder. We started walking.

 

I wonder how Kyo started being so close with Haru? At first, It was I who would always be with Haru…Is this some sort of pay-back?

 

“Yuki, I miss you. How've ya been?” Haru asked.

“Um… fine. You?”

“I've been good. Except with Kyo always bailing on me!”

“Excuuuse me. It wasn't MY fault. Blame HIM!” he pointed at me.

“Eh? Yuki?” Haru looked at me curiously. That idiot cat!!

“Uh… no. Not him.” Kyo looked around. “The guy behind him!”

I reverted behind me really fast. No one was there. If another person surprises me one more time…

“No one's there.” Haru said.

“Um… there's… a cat?” Kyo said. He's so dumb.

“Yea okay. If you see a cat, I see a cat.” Haru shrugged, backing away from Kyo like he was crazy.

 

We walked for 20 minutes…

 

“Here we are.” Haru said turning into an apartment building.

“Um… where are we?” I asked. Kyo had a curious face.

“Just follow moi.” Haru smiled.

 

You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

 

We stopped at a door and Haru knocked 20 times. Then the door slowly opened.

“Yes?” asked a slightly femine voice.

“Hey hey hey! What's up what's up what's up?” Haru squealed.

“Ri… Ritsu!” I said shocked.

“Eh? Yuki?… Kyo? What are you two doing here?”

“Why are we at RITSU's house?!” Kyo asked.

“Just chillin. Come inside.” Haru said.

“Um… excuse me. I haven't properly invited you in yet, so…”

“What's that? You hurt my feelings Ri…” Haru made a sad puppy face.

“I'm so sorry, Haru. I didn't mean to offend you…”

“Good, then its settled. Get in here you two.” Haru pointed at us.

 

Inside…

 

“Er… nice place, Ritsu.” I said looking around at the dark apartment. “But why are the window shades closed?”

Ritsu looked pale and scared. “Those kids…”

“Huh?” said Kyo.

“These kids… come and knock on my door… and when I check… they're gone.”

“Oh…” the three of us said.

“Why are we here?” Kyo whispered in my ear. I blushed and shrugged.

Why did I just blush?

“Hey, you two. Stop snogging and sit down.”

“Haru, what are we doing here?”

“You'll see…” Haru looked over to Ritsu. “Ritsu, you got the stuff?”

“Um… yes. But I shouldn't…” Ritsu stammered.

“Hey! It's my money that paid for it, ya know!”

“Oh… yes, but… it's not right.”

“Just get it…” Haru sighed, seemingly annoyed.

“Haru. It better not be alcohol.” Kyo said.

“Aw, c'mon. Yuki's never been drunk yet. We must break this cycle.” Haru said.

“What?” I said.

“Hey! No way are you getting' us drunk!” Kyo yelled.

“Kyon, calm down. You'll scare Ritsu.”

“I don't care! Don't tell me to shut up! Yuki doesn't havta do whatever you want!”

What? Is he… standing up for me?

“Kyo! It's hardly your concern.” I said. If this is some feeble attempt to throw me out of the group and just let the two of them get closer… then forget about it.

“I'm back…” Ritsu staggered. I grabbed a bottle and drank it down. The liquid fumes burned through my throat. I coughed and gagged. How terribly gross. The taste in my mouth feels like it will rot a hole in my jaw.

“Yuki!” Kyo yelled and helped me stand. “What were you thinking you idiot?”

“I don't…” what's this? This feeling? My body grew warm being so close to Kyo.

“Alright! Go Yuki!” Haru laughed drinking some. “More, more! Drink some more!”

“Stop it! It's not right!” Kyo yelled.

“Kyo… you've no right to tell me what to do.” I said. He looked shocked.

“I'm telling you! Stop drinking that shit!”

“You dirty little hypocrite.”

“What?”

“You got drunk with Haru that time… why cant I? You seemed to have fun. I'm sick of being so… boring!” I yelled. Finally, the truth that I couldn't admit until now, was out.

“Yuki… you're so stupid! How can you think you're bor…” Kyo stopped and grew a deep red.

“See?” I said. I grabbed another bottle and put the disgusting liquid up to my lips.

“No!” Kyo swatted it away and held me in a warm embrace.

“My carpet!” Ritsu screamed.

“LET GO OF ME! STOP TOUCHING ME!” I yelled pushing Kyo off me. He wouldnt budge. No matter how hard I'd push. We were stuck like glue.

He looked at me with sad eyes.

“Don't look at me like that!” I slapped him. Then he slapped me back. “Ky…” wet lips held up my sentence. Kyo's lips. Kyo is kissing me.

“WHOO HOO!! GO KYO!!” Haru yelled.

“Oh my god! Not in my house!!” Ritsu screamed.

 

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
