Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Birth-Dazed ❯ A day in the park ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter Two...

"Will you hurry up." Hiei crossed his arms after planting himself atop of the counter. "The park is probably filling with ningen as we speak."

Hiei was growing impatient waiting on Kurama to finish his lunch. The two of them had spent the morning out training and.... enjoying themselves and now just getting back they had decided on lunch- well, Kurama had decided on lunch while Hiei sat back- impatiently- watching and waiting.

"Then perhaps you should head out without me," said Kurama. "I'll catch up when I'm through." He then continued eating the lunch at his set pace.

Hiei only seemed to strengthen his sitting position as if silently saying, 'He'll wait.' Kurama smiled knowingly and tried, for Hiei, to eat a little faster without rushing food down his throat.

Bbrrrrring!!

Kurama turned his vision to the phone, then pushing his hands against the table his seat moved back a bit and he stood from the chair. Going over to the phone he picked it up at the third ring. "Hello?" He answered.

"Hey Shuuichi! You won't believe how tough practice is, I can't wait for the big game. You're coming aren't you? It's this Wednesday."

"Of course, Hatanaka."

Hiei watched Kurama a moment, then he slipped off the counter walking over to the kitchen table. Picking up Kurama's chopsticks the fiery youkai began to eat the remaining food from the kitsunes bento box.

Kurama laughed about something as he talked to his brother over the phone about something Hiei wasn't sure of. Making a face behind the boys back he continued eating.

"Alright Hatanaka, I'll see you later." He listened as his brother said something else to him, then with a quick nod Kurama replied, "I'll remember to. Goodbye." Hanging up the receiver, he turned around just in time to see Hiei swallowing the last bite of his lunch.

"You're through now, let's go." The youkai said.

Kurama laughed softly agreeing with Hiei. "I see, let me clean up the dishes first and then we may go." He walked over to the table picking up his lunch box. "Unless of course, you'd like to do it for me?" He teased.

"Hn. Nanra."

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

"You know when I said I was still hungry I was hoping that maybe we'd be eating inside." Complained Yusuke as he and Kuwabara entered the park. "You know, like normal people."

Kuwabara ignored him continuing a steady pace through the park looking for a nice shady tree to sit under. Seeing that he was being ignored, Yusuke began his complaining again in hopes that the red head would listen to him so they could turn around before someone saw them.

"Come ooon this is lame..." No response. "It's not like we're some straight couple that needs to go on a date or something."

Kuwabara stopped under a tree serveying the view from that point and he smiled saying. "Perfect." Crouching down, he opened the basket to reveal a blanket.

"And a blanket too! Couldn't we just eat at your house?"

Kuwabara turned his head and snapped at the person responsible for the constant shrill complaining in his ears. "Are you gonna complain the whole time?"

Yusuke's face scrunched and he narrowed his eyes replying, "I might."

Kuwabara briefed a staring contest with his hot headed lover then blinked saying. "Well go ahead cause it's not gonna bother me ooone bit." He sat himself down taking a sandwich from the basket and then began to eat.

Yusuke threw his arms up in defeat and sat down grabbing something himself. "Sometimes I hate giving into you."

"Yeah, yeah," replied Kuwabara, leaning over to give Yusuke a kiss.

One of the boys from the rival school just happened to be walking by at that very moment baring witness to the two. With a sneering smirk on his face, he brought his hands up to his mouth and called right at them, "Fucking faggots!!"

"What?!" Yusuke stood, fist clenched and ready to fight.

"Ha ha ha ha haa!!" The boy ran off.

"Come back here asshole!" He shook his fist in the air. "I dare you to say that again! Hey!"

"Sit down Urameshi," Kuwabara said between his disgruntled lovers shouts.

"Be a man and fight!" Yusuke went on.

"he's not worth it anyways." Continued Kuwabara.

"Cowaaard!"

Throwing his hands up into the air with exasperation. "Geez, why're you so wound up lately?"

"I'm not wound up!" Yusuke flopped back down beside the red head and crossed his arms.

The sympathetic red head, rubbed his lovers shoulder with his free hand while feeding himself with the other. "You seem wound up to me..." Though he trailed off at the end. 'Hope it's not 'cause of his birthday, I've been planning a party for weeks, and he's gonna have fun whether he likes it or not.'

"Who cares about him anyway," Places his hands to his mouth and calls after the retreating boy. "At least I'm not the one flossing my teeth between-..."

Kuwabara began to laugh pulling Yusuke towards him for a kiss, but as their lips met something was obstructing them from connecting. "Huh?" They looked down between their bodies.

"Aside from that acorn, you don't have a nut between you." Said a low familiar tone.

A subtle low laugh followed. "Come now Hiei, I think it's sweet."

"Hn, to think thirty more seconds and we'd of been gone long before the first one." One, meaning 'the kiss'.

Looking up the two confirmed the faces to the voices. With a smile on his face Yusuke greeted them but spoke with his usual cool tone. "Hiei and Kurama, why am I not surprised." Waving a hand. "Come down and join us."

"Yeah there's plenty to eat." Chimed Kuwabara.

"I'd love to." Said Kurama.

"But we'd like to keep our food down once we've eaten it." The youkai shifted his sitting position on the branch and tossed a look over his shoulder to Kurama who was then moving out of the tree. In one quick drop the kitsune was on the grass joining his friends.

"Hiei?" Asked Yusuke, thinking his friend would cave since Kurama had joined them. But the fire demon was reluctant and stuck to his reply.

"Stay if you want Kurama," He said pointedly to show that he was ignoring the spirit detective. "but I've got better places to be." With a blur of black the young demon was gone.

The three of them watched until Hiei was completely out of sight. At least to Yusuke and Kuwabara, Kurama knew better and glanced off in the direction of a nearby tree where the youkai had actually gone to.

"So anything new with you guys, where were you this morning?" Asked Yusuke, ressuming his lunch.

"Hiei and I were out training until mid-afternoon, why do you ask?" Kurama wondered helping himself to a bag of potato chips.

"Oh, I just came by and you weren't at home... kinda thought you were ignoring me I guess."

Kurama looked a little startled by that. "Why would I ignore you?"

Yusuke grinned jabbing his elbow into Kurama's arm. "You know because of that whole made for tv ignore the guy when his birthday's coming thing."

Kurama laughed shaking his head. "That's not it at all, Kuwabara's actually been..." He suddenly looked past Yusuke at the other boy who is waving his hands frantically, alerting Kurama to keep quiet.

Yusuke noticed Kurama's face and looked to where Kuwabara sat and the red head instantly stopped waving but not fast enough for it to have gone unnoticed. "Kuwabara's been what?" Asked Yusuke looking from friend to lover.

"Uuuhh...?" Kurama didn't know what to say. He thought Yusuke knew he was getting a party, after all everyone knows when their birthday is coming. Most people wait for it. The only surprise to that party is that it's a day before his actual birthday, Kuwabara planned it like that so that the two of them could have privacy on the actual day.

Seeing that Kurama was pleading the fifth, he turned to his guilt stricken lover, who placed a hand behind his head and laughed.

Feeling a sweat drop Kurama stood saying, "I think I see Hiei, I'd better go." Kurama lied, and turning to leave he said. "Good luck, Kuwabara." His face displaying his deepest sympathy and apology. "And, happy birthday Yusuke."

"Yeah thanks," The less than stunned boy answered. After his friend distanced himself from ear shot, Yusuke turned to his boyfriend. "Hey!"

The red head froze in his retreat. With one foot in the air and his arms in the ready to run position looking rather animated. Kuwabara dropped his pose, shrinking it into a slumped over position. "Can't blame a guy for loving you." He said lamely as his defense.

Yusuke grabbed a handful of Kuwabara's shirt pulling the red head down onto the picnic blanket harder than Kuwabara would have liked. Straddling him, Yusuke then leaned over to the boys face saying. "If you ever want me to play with you again, you'll cancel whatever birthday plans you made and just leave me alooone."

Kuwabara sighed knowing that this was his defeat. "But I don't see what's the big deal, most people like birthday parties."

"Well I'm not most people, so I don't want a party." Said Yusuke, moving back from the closeness of their faces.

"But why not. You're always so thrilled about other peoples birthdays... and this'll be your first one with us as a couple. I thought that meant something." Kuwabara frowned.

Yusuke's face softened and he mumbled. "It does. But can't we just spend it together- alone," He quickly added.

"But-.."

"No but's, me and birthday parties only reminds me of how depressing they can be. Remember two years ago...?"

Their faces distanced as though they were watching the moment unfold before their eyes. "You me and my mom," Yusuke explained. "Musical chairs, pin the tail on the donkey and a stupid empty pinata because my mom spent all the rest of the party dough on herself."

"But your mom's not drinking anymore- much- but she wouldn't do that again." Explained the boy.

Yusuke shook his head. "Just... don't. For me."

Kuwabara nodded though he looked away from him. "Alright Urameshi, no on your birthday."

"Thank you." Smiles, backing off. "Now, let's hurry up and eat so we can get out of here." He sat on the blanket digging into what was left in the basket.

"You mean to burn those calories we didn't get to before?" Asked Kuwabara digging in as well.

Laughing, Yusuke replied."Hey would you really wanna do it with your sister in the house?"

The two of them laughed at the idea, and Kuwabara quieted silently thinking. 'Sorry for lying Urameshi, but I'm gonna break this bad birthday curse, and give you the birthday of the year.'
