Chapter Eight

 It had started raining again. Light at first, then it turned into a gray sky down pour. Kiba looked on out the large over head windows of the cafeteria, mesmorized by the sight- hoping that it didn't turn into a storm.

Sighing in frustration, Kiba leaned his head on his hand. I can't believe I have detention today- I've never had detention before, what do you even do in there?

 Hige had finally come to the table after loading up his lunch tray. Even though, he has already eaten the lunch he had brought to school hisself. The boy had an insatiable appettite for food. And for the fact that Hige goes into full snack mode when he eats only makes Kiba find this habit of his, adorible.

Watching him, the Wolf boy smiled as he reached out tapping his shoulder. "Hige?"

"Mmm?" He asked with a mouth full of mashed potato's covered in a meat gravy, not even turning Kiba's way.

"I need you to pick up Toboe after school," Said Kiba. "I got detention today and I need you to drop him off at Cheza's house then come back for me when it's over."

This got his attention. "You got a detention," He looked at his boyfriend. "What'd you do, not say bless you when somebody sneezed- Ha, you never get in trouble!"

"Well I did, Yuji Hamasaki started it." Kiba shook his head at the situation. "It doesn't make any sense though, he's usually a really nice guy,"

"Maybe he's got a pebble in his shoe," The boy shrugged hearing his lovers chuckle. "Whaat he might, most people in cartoons and stuff get major attitudes about that kinda stuff."

"You may be right." Kiba said humoring the boy.

"Uuummn." Hige jabbed Kiba with his elbow. "What if he got taken over by those alien things over night- maybe even just this morning when every one was coming to school."

Cocking an eyebrow, Kiba returned to his lunch. "Just pick Toboe up from school."

 The two of them ate in silence until Hige had broken it saying. "About that, why not just ask Mrs. Cher to bring him home with her. He's going there anyway." He leaned over close to Kiba's ear. "Besides, I'd rather wait for you to get out of your sentencing so I can drive you home."

Kiba scoffed. "You're too kind."

"I know." He replied with a casual squeak in his voice.

 The two of them were silent again. Hige finishing his lunch, Kiba listening to the thundering sound of the rain pounding on the roof and garbage cans outside. Yuji walked by as casually as anybody finding a table to sit at and dropped a note beside Kiba.

"Huh? What's that about?"

....................

 Toboe loved the rain. It made a nice sound over head not to mention it was great at putting you to sleep. He liked to think, that if he had a mom or a dad and he was afraid of a storm, they would come into his bedroom and hold his hand through it. Like he's seen on tv. Sure he didn't mind being the one to do it for his brother but still, it would be really nice if someone would do something like that for him.

 "Hahaha." He smiled looking down at his lunch. "Look Cheza," he continued what he was saying when his friend turned her head. "I made it smile." He was refering to his fudge round, little Debbie snack. With his finger he had poked two holes for the eyes and he ran his finger across it for the mouth.

"It knows I have good hygene."

Cheza laughed and taking an M&M from the bag she was holding, she placed a yellow candy on top of the cake. "Now it has a nose."

"Hee hee, yeah." The young boy plucked it off and ate it.

"Toboe wants some more?" The girl asked. "This one is full."

"Sure," He held out his hand. "thanks."

 The two of them ate their lunch with the loud sound of children around them filling the gap of silence. Some kids were already planning on jumping through puddles, while some of the girls were complaining about how long their mothers took doing their hair.

"Cheza?" He looked at her. "What's it like having a mother and father?"

The girl seemed to be thinking it over. "This one... is happy."

 "Huh....." Sure he loved Kiba, and he thought of Mrs. Cher and Mr. Hubb like his parents when he needed them but something inside of the boy selfishly wanted some of his own. Not just for him, but for Kiba too! Then he wouldn't have to worry about him so much and he could spend more time with Hige if he wanted to.

"Is Toboe unhappy with Kiba?" Cheza wondered.

"No no! Nothing like that- I just wondered what it was like that's all." The boy waved his hands. "I love Kiba, and Hige and everybody."

Cheza smiled. "Toboe has a lot of love to share."

The boy smiled cheerfully, placing an arm behind his head. "Yeah, I guess I do. Heheheh."

The lunch bell rang telling the kids to pack it up and get back to class. "Finally schools almost over. I can't wait to get home. I don't have any homework, so I'm gonna play video games right until dinner."

The two kids stood from the table bringing their lunches with them. "What are you gonna do?"

Cheza thought about it and shrugged. "This one does not know."

"Well, maybe you can come over and play games with me- I'm sure Kiba won't mind."

 Throwing away their lunch bags, Toboe and Cheza left the cafeteria holding hands. It was a natural thing they did, maybe it was because they had almost been plowed down by seventh graders one time but either way they always do it.

I wonder if I'll see Tsume again. Toboe couldn't help but wonder. Nah, he's probably got better things to do than hang around some kids school all afternoon- but still... it'd be cool.

* * *

 Tsume checked his watch again. "Four minutes left." He looked at the front of the school. Ha, and with any luck that stupid kid did what I told him to. Tsume opened the door of his car and opened an umbrella to avoid the rain. I've gotta make this believable.

Going up the stairs of the school, he pulled open one of the large doors and walked inside. Where the hell is the office? Looking around for labels, he didn't see a front office anywhere.

"Sir?" A man called to him. He looked like a fancy pants kind of guy, with his suit and tie so neatly pressed and his blonde hair combed just so. "Can I help you?" He asked.

"Uh, yes. I'm looking for the main office."

"Oh that's right around the corner, but I can just as easily help you. What do you need?"

"And you are?" Tsume looked the man up and down with a bored _expression.

"Mr. Hubb Lebowsky. School principle." Hubb reached out for Tsumes hand, but it wasn't taken.

 "I'm here to pick up Toboe Wolf from school today," He replied calmly, even though this guy didn't look smart enough to tell a lie from the truth even if you said the sky was falling. "His brother has to stay after and he asked me to bring him home for him."

"Yeah, Toboe. My wife and I are practically like their second family." Hubb was saying. "We take care of them all the time when they need it. Good family."

"Yeah." Tsume looked impatiently at his watch, then turned to the door. "I just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't think he was going off with a stranger."

"Right." He watched as Tsume left for the exit. "Oh wait! I didn't catch your name!?"

"It's T.C Freemon." Tsume lied.

"Okay, see you around."

 The model waved a hand leaving with his perminant scowl plastered on his face- Damn he hated stupid people. All I have to do now is wait for Toboe. Three minutes later the bell rang letting the children out of school. Toboe was the first boy he saw in the crowd of people and he smiled. He looked as good as he always did.

 Toboe had spaced a moment while he was leaving the building. Cheza had stayed after class with her mother so he was alone today to wait for Hige's car. Returning to earth when someone brushed past his shoulder he looked out the windows of the large door and smiled when he saw Tsume.

Running out the door he gave him a full on grin. "Hi Tsume!"

The models heart sang. Toboe actually didn't seem to mind that he was there again. He actaully seemed really glad to see him. "Hi." Tsume greeted in return with a smile.

"I saw you on tv last night. I never knew you were a model." Toboe was going on. He hadn't realized that when Tsume began to walk that he was following him.

 The two crossed the street as Toboe spoke about the interview on the talk show. Tsume listened to the boy quietly saying whatever he thought was neccessary. He held his umbrella over Toboe's and his own head so neither of them got wet from the rain.

"Is it fun being a model?"

"It's the best." Tsume answered looking around once they stopped.

"Then how come you quit?" Toboe wondered.

Tsume shrugged. "I guess I just got bored with it."

"Oh," Toboe noticed that they had moved away from the school now and his eyes widened from the realization.

"I gotta go wait for my brother." He said. "See you later Tsume."

"Wait," The boy froze. "Take my unbrella. I have plenty."

Toboe looked as though he were thinking about it but then he shook his head. "I can't, but you can walk back with me if you want."

"How 'bout we sit in my car instead. It's nice and dry in there and I've got sodas."

"What flavor?"

"Why not come inside and look for yourself." Tsume offered. "It's better than standing around in school watching everyone else leave."

"Yeah.... I've seen those comercials, it looks like that really sucks." But something was nagging at the boy telling him not to get in the car.

"Besides, we won't go anywhere." Tsume assured. "It's just until your brother comes."

"Weeellll....." Shrugging, the boy nodded. "Okay. I don't see how it could hurt."

Tsume had already pulled the door open, gesturing for the boy to get inside. Looking around a moment, he climbed inside himself and closed the door.
