SAP. Incredible amounts of sap. Nataku x Taiitsu, I guess... eheh. Shounen ai/yaoi, if it
wasn't obvious. Did I mention sap?
autumn smiles
Deep in the mountains of the New England Berkshires, it was prime leaf season, right in the
middle of October. The trees were painted in shades of rich reds and yellows. A small purple
car careened violently around the unusually deserted highway. From it emitted the sound of
someone singing "Born to Be Wild" loudly and with a large degree of inaccuracy.
Abruptly the singing stopped. "Don't you ever smile?"
"... Don't you ever stop singing?"
"Aw, come on, Nataku, don't be such a grouch! Enjoy the sights! Aren't the colors
beautiful?"
A glare. "I don't like this world. You won't let me blow up anything here."
Sweatdrop. "You wouldn't want to blow up all the pretty trees, would you? Nataku..."
"..." Another glare.
An especially crazed turn, swerving around the road. "Whoops."
"Learn to drive, you idiot."
"I can drive just fine! I'm the genius, remember?"
Long silence. Snort of disbelief.
Glare. "Oi. I created you."
"Tell me what I am. I'm a paopei, but I'm human, so what does that make my life? What if--"
Suddenly the car curved again and pulled over. "You aren't allowed to angst on this trip.
It's a vacation, have fun! The weather's great and it's the peak time of year for fall
colors. I'm your master, now this is the rule as long as we're in this car: NO ANGST."
"Hn." Stoic silence.
"Temeee..." Sudden quiet. Pounce.
"O... oi!!"
"HAH! I put those nerves there... I know EXACTLY where you're ticklish!"
Crazed, unwilling cackling. "Noooo~! Stop, you maniac!"
Finally, fading laughter.
"You liked that, didn't you." Snicker.
"Did not." Yet another glare.
"Did too."
"Did not!"
"Want me to do it again?"
"I hate you."
"... Ack! Nataku - put your hands down - don't point those paopei at me!" More sweatdrops.
"Hn. I'll kill you."
"Errr..." Slight panic. "Wait, you can't kill me, or else you'll be stuck on this world."
"..."
"Nyeh." Raspberry.
"Hn." Icy stare. "You're an idiot."
Indignant sniff. "How dare you call m... mmm!" Surprise.
Heavy breathing. Long silence.
Finally, self-satisfied "Moron."
Panting. "W- why'd you do that?"
"..."
"... Nataku?"
"Sometimes I don't hate you so much."
Astonishment. "Nataku, you... Heeyyy... YOU SMILED!"
Instant glare. "Did not."
"Yes you did!" Unhidden glee. "C'mere!"
"Don't touch me."
"But... but... Don't you love me anymore?!" The car started up again, speeding onto the
highway once more.
"Hn."
"YOU kissed ME." Pause. "Hey, look over there! There's a stream... Isn't it nice?"
Prolonged stare. "..."
Sigh. "I should have given you some sort of sense of beauty." Surprised pause. "Umm, maybe
you shouldn't do that while I'm drivi--" Abrupt silence.
The car stopped in its tracks.
More heavy breathing. And other sounds. At last, "Not a good time, Nataku. But any other
time is fine..."
"You're such a flake." Tiny, real smile.
Big grin. "And I love you too."
Once more the strains of some offtune song were heard from the depths of the violet-colored
vehicle as it drove erratically along into the distance. "Because you're near me and - I
want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life - oh just to be with you is having
the best day of my life..."
