Wolf's Rain Fan Fiction ❯ Love Object ❯ Chapter 27 ( Chapter 27 )

Chapter Twenty Seven

"So what's an old dust ball like you up to lately?" Asked Faye in her usual lazy, bored with the world, drawl. "Because my week has been nothing but hell on wheels."

Tsume laughed politely. "I take it Thailand is anything but inviting for you?"

"Hmm, no. It's not so much Thailand as it is...." She paused her words for a few moments, it sounded as though she swore at someone around her. "I'm sorry, this idiot keeps giving me peas in my rice when I told him about- seven times-" She stressed mostly to the man making sure to say it loud enough for the man to know she was talking to him. "I wanted it without."

"I see, so it's the people pissing you off." Tsume laughed again. "But isn't that always the case with you Faye- have you ever stopped to think that maybe it's just you?" He got off his couch, walked over to his computer pressing 'stop' on the recorder. Then clicking 'save' he went back to the phone call.

"You can keep that up and I won't call you anymore." She mock threatened.

"You say it but you don't mean it." Teased the model.

"But anyway, I asked you what you've been up too" the singer commented. "have you done your last photo and runway yet?"

"No, that's next week.... But, in the mean time I've been keeping myself busy."

Faye grinned on her end of the phone. "Aaaw, you dog. You sound like you've found a little play thing of your own."

"I do NOT take play things." Barked Tsume. That was one joke he didn't really care much for, even though Faye was the only one who ever really said anything about it, because she was the only one who knew. "But if you're asking if I have a boyfriend than- yes."

"Woo hoo! I knew it!" She cheered, hardly phased by the mans words before. "So come on, who is he- what's he like?"

Tsume thought a moment. He told Faye everything- even about Darcia, and she's always seemed to understand and not judge him for it. Tease him to no end sometimes, but never judge. So sure, why not? "Actually he's a fourteen year old boy, his names Toboe and he's..." He looked to the heavenly night sky as he spoke. "The world to me."

"He sounds special... but you said fourteen?" She paused as though waiting for an answer which she didn't get. "Uh huh. So your cel block is which one? I'll be sure to bring you a fruit basket."

"I haven't done anything wrong, we just kissed." He explained, though not in self defense, because deep down he did plan to do something- and sooner than later. "It was harmless, I said he was my boyfriend because it was sort of... wishful thinking."

"Ha," Faye teased. "Since when did Tsume Keina wish? If you say he's your boyfriend than he probably will be."

"Yeah if I can get past the brother. ...-Guy's like a fucking fortress."

Faye laughed on the other end. "Can you blame him, I can see it now twenty five year old man seen dry humping the hell out of a fourteen year old in a public park."

"Tell the world why don't you." He began to pay attention to the computer screen again. Trying to get a frozen picture of himself so that he could snip it and attach it to Toboe's photo.

He heard the singer sigh on the other end of the phone. "Tsume... don't tell me you lied about your age again?"

"Not by much this time." She was silent. "...I said I was twenty two." He confessed.

"Hm. Who am I to complain, I think you could pass for eighteen myself."

Tsume smiled sweetly. "You always say the nicest things."

"So do you plan on telling the kid that little feature about yourself?" Her mind had to know.

"Yeah..." He sighed out. "eventually. Maybe even the next time I see him."

"You'd better, honesty is the best policy."

"I know..."

"He still asks about you- ya know?" She said referring to a HE that only the two of them knew of. "He even wrote a song about you. Have you heard it?" She went on. "It's all the rage in Italy, the girls think he's singing it to them and any gay male thinks that they might have a chance with him- but there's only you, huh Tsume?"

"I told him before I left- I'm no ones play thing."

Faye shrugged, "I know. I told him the same thing.... Guy won't listen, though." There was a tight silence for a moment or two, then Faye broke it with a sigh. "Listen, don't get yourself arrested on someone who isn't a sure thing, I care too much about you Tsu'."

"I'll be careful." Though he shrugged it off, callously.

"Well, I have to eat now before my next show," With that she hung up her phone. Faye was never really one for goodbye's.

Tsume pressed the 'off' on his phone and dropped it into his desk drawer. Hn, He thought with malice. Darcia can just forget about me. I don't want him anymore and I never will again. His eyes looked onto his computer screen and he smiled at the young boy that was displayed there. His fingers reached up caressing the young boys virtual cheek.

"What am I doing?" He wondered out loud. "I love him... I shouldn't keep letting this weird habit of mine get in the way of that." The picture he had up of Toboe fallen to the ice was staring at him, and the clipping of his self on the couch practically gave him a wink to at least 'see' what it would come out looking like. "....Fine, but this is the last time." The model grumbled in defeat.

Pasting the pictures together it honestly looked as though Tsume was behind the boy in a sexual manner. He smirked a moment at the sight and thought of it all coming true someday, before clicking the screen off and deleting the saved files.

"I'm sorry Toboe, for disrespecting you like this." He said to no one. "But from now on, I won't use you as my kinky muse. You're too innocent for that- that's what I love about you, ya know. You don't expect anything wrong with anyone, you give them a chance for a new start and I won't blow it by scaring you."

Flipping down the computer screen, he sighed and glanced at the clock. Nine already? He stretched his arms over his head then stood up. I'd better shower before I neglect it all together.

"Can I come with you Tsume?" He heard the young boys voice.

Smiling, he held a hand back to the child. "Of course you can."

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

"Hige what did you think you were doing?!" Kiba raised his voice at the other teen. "I asked you to watch him and you.... you do this?"

"I didn't...." He paused, searching for a way to explain. But it was true, it was his fault. But he didn't know what temperature the water was supposed to be at. It was his first time watching over the kid! What was he supposed to do?!

By the time he had phoned Kiba, his manager said he was already on his way home. So Hige called him on the cell phone he had given him incase of an emergency. And the Wolf teen was less than happy when he heard what had happened.

"You did!" Kiba was saying toward Hige's weak attempt to explain what happened.

"Didn't you hear me when I called the first time?"

"Huh?"

"I had told you to make sure that the water was luke warm, not too hot or cold just warm....?" Kiba stared his boyfriend in the eyes. "Don't you ever listen to me?"

"Yes Kiba but- I didn't hear that part, I must have moved the phone away from my ear when you had said it." Hige lowered his head. "I'm sorry... It'll... never happen again."

"You're right it'll never happen again, because you're not welcomed in this house ever again."

"What?" He couldn't believe his ears. Kiba is breaking up with him over something that- now that he thinks about it- wasn't his fault?! If Kiba didn't think he had heard him, he should have called again.

"Kiba," Toboe began. "it's not Hige's fault- honest!" The young boy frowned, blinking up at his brother with huge, sad, eyes.

"Toboe go back to bed." He ordered in a quiet tone.

"....." He started to leave but then he turned around. "No! Nno, I won't!" He marched back in front of his brother, though he were mostly standing in front of Hige. "Hige didn't do anything wrong, I.... I should have checked the water first and asked him to run it again if I didn't feel that it was right. So if it's anyone’s fault it's mine!"

Kiba's face turned into a full frown as he shook his head, he wasn't buying it. Toboe wasn't old enough to do those things on his own.

"Kiba..." The boy went on. "I'm old enough to take responsibility for my own actions and decisions. You can't just go around blaming and punishing everyone else for my mistakes and I know you think that I'm wrong but you are!" A pout marred his lips. "If you keep doing things like this, I'm gonna get the impression that I can do anything I want without punishment... and I know you're smart enough to realize that... so act like it sometime."

With that the young boy stomped off to his bedroom, slamming the door behind him.

Hige kicked his foot against the rug, keeping his head down. "I'd listen to the kid." He said, meekly.

Kiba sighed, dropping his posture. He hated when the people he loved double teamed him. He especially hated it when his little brother was mad at him. "...I'm sorry. I was just... taking my anger out on you from earlier." He closed his eyes waiting for Hige to shout at him next.

The moon teen smiled jokingly, taking a step forward, he wrapped his arms around his lover. "Hey, that's what I'm hear for. If you don't shoot your mouth off at me, you're gonna have a whole lot of people mad at ya, buddy."

Kiba smiled fondly at that, "I know." nuzzling into the red heads thick hair he relaxed into the embrace. He didn't realize how stressed out he had been until he was in the car coming home, then Kiba got that call from Hige and it all went down hill from there. "Thank you." The Wolf teen whispered. Taking his boyfriends arm he walked him to the front door.

"Uuhh, I'm really glad you're giving me a second chance Kiba.... I won't screw up again, I swear."

"I know... you didn't know, I understand." Kiba said quietly.

"You're awesome Kiba, I always love that quality about you." But he couldn't help but feel as though he were being pushed out. "Kiba are you throwing me out?"

"No." He opened the front door and followed the red head out, closing it behind them. "I need to talk to you."

"About Tsume? Yeah, I forgot all about that. But I was thinking about that creep after you told me what happened at the store." He walked to his car. Kiba at his heals. "If he ever shows up there again he's gonna have to answer to me." The boy informed.

Kiba paid him no mind as he walked to the passengers side of the car. "Did you get a chance to talk to Toboe?" He opened the passenger side. "Did you find anything out?"

"Well," He closed the door to the drivers side. "he saw you and me shacking up in my car. But other than that he was really vague."

"Vague how?"

"Like... he was dancing around something the entire time."

"O- okay- okay... what'd he say?" Kiba questioned, moving a little closer to his boyfriend as though the very person they were talking about might over hear them.

"Well, we started out talking about you and me." He gestured with his hands, alternating them back and forth between them. "How I..." He mumbled out the masterbation part, then went on. "And then I asked him, who do you do it to."

"Hahaha, that's good."

"Yeah, 'cause he figured that you told me about what he did, so he leveled with me and said that... he was only doing it because a friend from school had talked about it."

Kiba narrowed his eyes. "What?" He hadn't been sure he'd heard right.

"Some kid in class was going on about it, I guess when the teacher had walked out or something." He shrugged. "But the kid went off on it and Toboe found his self alone sooo heee...."

"...-Tried it out." Kiba finished his thought. They were silent a moment. "Okay, what else?"

"Ssshh, let me think...." Hige began to bite the side of his bottom lip as he pondered their conversation. "What else-... what else- Oh! He said that someone had kissed him!"

Kiba's heart felt as though it had just exploded right then. "...Alright Hige, I trust you to tell me the truth about this-..."

The red head put his hands up to silence the other boy. "Don't bother he didn't say, that was kinda of when you called," He mumbled in defeat. "I got distracted."

"Later tonight I have to go to my second job.... when Toboe wakes up I need you to still be here, I'lllll???" He thought for a second. "Drive around for a while."

"Ha, no way!" The red head argued. "You stay at my house, you have a key. I'll tell the runt something came up so I have to get him ready for school."

Kiba's smile couldn't have been brighter and he grabbed the boys cheeks pulling him to his face for a kiss. "Mmmmua." He imitated the kissing sound. "Hige you're the best."

"I know. There's one in every relationship."

Kiba only laughed, with a shake of his head. "I have to go eat, and tuck in the 'runt' as you so colorfully call him."

"Haha, okay." Hige pulled out his car keys sticking them in the ignition. "I'm gonna go get my night clothes, say good night to Toboe for me. And tell him that I'm sorry about the tub thing."

"I will." He leaned over giving Hige another kiss. "See ya."

"Uh huh." Kiba climbed from the car, closing the door. With one last wave he walked back into his house.

Hige smiled, glad that Kiba wasn't really going to break up with him. He needed him, the way he was sure Kiba needed someone and not just in love but in sharing that big secret of his. And he was sure that being there in the morning he could ask Toboe about it.
