Monday morning
We find Ayame in the kitchen pouring him a cup of coffee. Hatori walks in, swiftly takes the cup from Ayame just before his lips met the edge of the cup.
"No." He told his cousin sternly.
"aawwww…" Ayame pouted. "Tori-san, I need to wakeup." At this Hatori smirked and threw Ayame some lemon pouches. "Hmm?" Ayame examined the package given to him.
"You said you needed to wake up, right?" Hatori explained, lemon juice will definitely do the trick." (A/n: no joke my cousin actually uses lemon juice to wake up.)
"Tooooooooooooriiiiiiii-saaaaaaan!" Ayame whined. Shigure decided now would be the time to enter the kitchen.
"Aya darling, what's wrong?" He asked fluttering to his cousin's side.
"Tori-san won't let me drink my coffee." He whined.
"Well you're not supposed to drink coffee dear." Ayame glared at Shigure for his comment then stomped over to the table and sat down.
"Hmph…" Ayame snorted.
"soooo… Haa-san, what's for breakfast?"
"That depends on what you're making." Hatori joked with his cousin. Ayame got up and walked out of the kitchen in aggravation. He walked to the door, slipped on some shoes and slammed the door. Hearing this Hatori and Shigure looked out the kitchen door towards the front door. Not seeing Ayame they ran to the door and opened it hurriedly then saw Ayame's retreating figure.
"Aya!" Shigure called, Ayame stopped. "Where are you going?"
"Out." Ayame told them not tuning around.
"Out where?" Hatori added.
"Out to eat!"
"Good! We'll come too!" Shigure and Hatori had their shoes on and were out the door quick as a flash.
"Sigh." No, literally he said 'sigh'. Shigure giggled lightly then wrapped an arm around his waste.
"I love you Aya." Shigure said and again Ayame stopped. "What's wrong Aya?"
"N-nothing…" he stammered. "I just think we should go back and get our back packs. I mean, we don't know how long we'll be so…"
"He's right, we should get our things so we're not late." Hatori commented walking back towards the house.
"Okay, now everyone's ready to go right?" Ayame asked tapping his foot. "I'm hungry." He once again whined.
"All right we're leavin', we're leavin'." Shigure hopped out the door trying to put his shoes back on. And so they walked to a part of the city the most restaurants were.
"So where do you want to eat?" Hatori asked the shorter boy in the middle.
"I don't know," Ayame answered.
"Then what do you feel like? And we'll go from there." Shigure tried to help.
"I feel…"Ayame put a finger to his chin in thought. "Pregnant." Ayame lazily let his arms fall to his side.
"Where do you want to eat?" Shigure chuckled.
"I told you. I don't know…" Ayame said exasperatedly.
"Well pick something quick." Hatori looked at his watch. "We are on a time limit you know."
"Okay, okay, ummm…" Ayame's finger again rested on his chin in thought. "How about…Italian!" he exclaimed looking towards an Italian restaurant. (More like small diner)
"Okay." Hatori said whilst they all walked in the direction of the little diner.
Once inside and seated the trio looked over the menu.
"I want…" he looked through the menu. "Pasta."
"For breakfast?" Shigure looked up from his menu.
"Alfredo pasta!" He added.
"That's not for breakfast." Shigure sweat dropped.
"You can have whatever you want Ayame." Hatori glared at his puppy-eyed cousin.
"Except coffee!" Ayame piped.
"Yes, except coffee." Hatori sounded like he was talking to a child.
"So what do think the baby will be?" Shigure asked after everyone ordered.
"OH! I hope it's a girl!" Ayame clapped his hands together.
"Why?" Shigure asked smiling.
"'Cause! It would be so pretty if it was a girl!" Ayame squeaked.
"How do you know?" Hatori asked joining the conversation.
"She would be the three most handsome men put together!" Ayame put his index finger in the air pointedly.
"Of course she would have Ayame's feminine features." Shigure said matter-of-factly.
"And Hatori's dazzling eyes." Was Ayame's input.
"Shigure's hair." Hatori said quietly.
"Color maybe, but cut like Aya's!" They ate their breakfast and Hatori kept his eye on the clock. While they ate Hatori thought of a good question.
"What are you going to name it?" He asked looking up from his food.
"Hmm?" Ayame swallowed his pasta he was currently chewing. "A name?" He asked. Hatori nodded.
"Hmmm…" Ayame tapped his eating utensil to his chin in thought. "I don't know… I haven't thought about."
"Well that makes sense." Shigure stated. "After all it's not like you actually expected this to happen." Ayame looked down with a sad look on his face. "Aya?"
"I'm sorry…" Ayame said quietly. "I didn't mean to…"
"We told you," Shigure lifted Ayame's head by putting a hand under his chin and lifted it slightly. "It's our fault."
"It's no ones fault." Hatori said. Ayame looked to Hatori then…
"Buuuuuuuuuuuuuurrp!" The three's eyes went wide as well as a waitress cleaning a table behind them. (The belch was Kera's idea!) "Umm…" Ayame looked around "excuse me?" He squeaked.
"I don't think that's a name aya." Shigure and Ayame giggled.
"It's time to get going." Hatori checked his watch.
"Right!" Ayame said getting up. Shigure however stayed, and scarfed down the remains of his food.
"Shigure, you look like a dog." Hatori told his cousin calmly.
"That…" Shigure swallowed the last of his breakfast. "Would make sense!" Shigure winked and whipped the crumbs off his face. They left the diner and headed to school.
SMALL TIME LAPSE
IT'S NOW ABOUT MID-SCHOOL-DAY
Ayame is in his fourth hour class, drama. Where they were split into groups; the trio had been split.
"C'mon President Ayame-sempai! This is where you come in!" A boy with short black hair tugged on his sleeve.
"mmmph" Ayame whined fanning himself. "How can anyone think in this heat…"
"It's not hot." The boy said.
"Kinpachi-sensei!" Ayame whined. "Can you turn the air down?" He fanned himself.
"All right?" She said in more of a statement than a question. Upon turning the air down, cool air rushed onto the snake making his hair sway. Then a shiver ran down his back. "Feel better?" She asked smiling at him.
"Yes, thanks." He smiled with his eyes closed.
"Is there something wrong with you Ayame?" The boy asked in a whisper.
"N-No!" Immediately Ayame's arm graced his stomach as if to protect what was there.
"Good!" He said and took Ayame's fan.
"Hey, give it back!" Ayame whined. (A/n: he whines a lot ne?)
"No… I don't think so." He said playfully. It was at this time Hatori looked over to the group. Ayame and the boy seemed to be the only ones off-task. As long as the boy was only teasing the hebi it was okay; but if things got out of hand Hatori would be the first one on the scene.
"uuh!" Ayame held his hand out pleadingly.
"What?" Was the boy's chuckled reply.
"uuh." Ayame repeated.
"What does 'uuh.' Mean?" His lips curling into a smile.
"Give it!" He demanded. The boy felt a small tug at the paper fan as it slipped between his fingers and into the hands of another student.
"I think it's time you gave Aaya his fan back. Don't you?" Shigure smiled and placed the fan into Ayame's slender hand.
"Shigure-sempai?" He questioned. Shigure didn't reply, only strode back to his assigned group.
A/n: okay blah, blah, blah! Couple months later.
Ayame's pregnancy is now becoming a bit obvious and he's having to buy bigger clothes. It is now Saturday evening, Ayame is in his room getting ready for bed.
"I don't know how much longer I can keep this up…" he sighed reaching up his shirt and pulling out something akin to the things someone in a movie wears when their character is supposedly pregnant. "I still can't believe Tori-san's dad talked Akito into this…" he sighed again. Or that Tori-san's dad actually came up with this… he closed his eyes, leaning against the door.
FlashbackAyame awoke to a foul smell. With his blurry vision he could only make out a retreating figure. Once his vision cleared he was Hatori's father sitting next to him.
"Can you tell me what your name is?" He questioned.
"Ayame Sohma." Really no point in me pointing out who said that now is there?
"Can you tell me what my name is?" He asked.
What was his name? Ayame asked himself trying to remember, which only gave him a headache. "No." was his final answer.
"Good." The older man said turning around. "I never told you my name… so you shouldn't remember it."
"Oh…." Was the snake's quiet reply.
"Is something wrong?"
"My head hurts…" one of Ayame's hands (a/n: excuse the pun) snaked it's way through silver locks in an attempt to relieve the pain.
"That makes sense." He gave Ayame a small glass of water and two pills. "You just had a concussion. These will help with your headache." He referred to the small tablets in the slender boy's hand. "Now, I have a proposition for you…"
End flashback!And that's how it all started. Ayame sat there not wanting to leave his thoughts about how much kinder the other two members of the trio were to him now. Ayame was brought abruptly back to reality by a knock on his door.
"Ayame?" Shigure called from the other side.
"U-um…N-no! Don't come in yet! I'm not decent!" Ayame ran to the bathroom connected to his room and shut the door. "Okay you can come in now." He called hearing the door slide open then shut shortly afterward.
"whatcha doin'?" He asked.
"I was just about to take a shower." Ayame called back.
"Oh? Mind if I join?" Shigure asked jokingly.
"NO!"
"Good!" He smiled.
"No! I meant… that…." He stammered.
"I was just joking Aaya, lighten up." He smirked.
"You lighten up." Ayame mumbled to himself.
"What was that?" Shigure tilted his head.
"N-nothing!" Ayame squealed.
He's been acting so strangely… Shigure thought to himself. He opened and closed the door allowing Ayame to believe he had left. Hearing the door close Ayame sighed.
Hmm I wander why! Shigure's mind told him.
No, it's no that. He argued he acts like he's hiding something…
Ayame doesn't hide anything…Exactly! He heard Ayame climb into the shower and turn the water on. Shigure sat down next to the bathroom door putting his back on the wall. It was then he heard Ayame humming.
"hmmm?" he listened carefully to make sure he was hearing right. Sure enough Ayame Sohma was singing in the shower.
"La di da di da di da di da
La di da
La di da." He sang
Is that the music man? He chuckled. It is! It's kind of catchy actually. He started humming along with his cousin. The stopped abruptly and the water turned off. CRAP! He scrambled to his feet and stumbled out the door. Ayame opened the door to the shower room and thought he saw something flash by and out the door.
"Huh?" He asked no one. "What was that?" He shrugged it off and walked to his closet with the towel around his waist. His hair glistening and dropping cold water down his bare creamy white skin making him shiver. (A/n: okay before I make myself blush.)
Shigure sat outside near his cousin's door.
That was too close. He thought between breaths.
No that was the chance of a life time flying 80 miles and hour out the window…
Shut up…
Now why would I do that?
Grrr…
You'd better hurry up and get outta here before he sees you… he's coming… the voice in his head sang as Shigure looked franticly for an escape route. Alas, his efforts were in vain; he was caught.
Unless, he thought. I could always pretend to nave fallen asleep…
That's just stupid. The voice rang through his head as he heard the door begin to slide open. Shigure's head immediately dropped and his body relaxed. Ayame, now clad in his pajamas looked at the seemingly sleeping inu.
"Shigure?" He mused out loud. "But what's he doing here?" He continued. Ayame kneeled down and poked Shigure in the shoulder making him fall a little, in the opposite direction of Ayame.
"Shigure!" Hatori's voice bellowed through the hall.
Gure must be in big trouble to make Tori-san yell that loud. He thought looking back towards the source of young seahorse's voice. Shigure took this time to look at Ayame, he was kind of hoping he would still be wrapped in a towel.
You stupid mutt! You missed you chance and you're gonna get yourself caught!
What the…
What?
His stomach… he explained. It's flat. It's back to it's normal size…
That means…He was never pregnant to begin with.
Ayame turned around and saw Shigure staring up at him.
Damn. He thought.
"Ayame?" Shigure asked out of shock.
This was about the time when Ayame got up and opened the door only to be grabbed by his surprised cousin.
Hatori fumed down the hall in search of his black haired cousin. He stopped upon seeing Ayame halfway into his room, Shigure latching onto his arm while still on the floor.
"Leave Ayame alone. Mutt." Hatori gave his cousin a death glare.
"B-but h-Hatori…" Shigure stammered. Hatori was so infuriated that he didn't notice how much skinnier Ayame looked. "But Haa-san, Aaya… He-he's not."
Hatori looked the hebi up and down before it struck him. "Ayame…" he said in his stoic voice. "Dry your hair before going to bed, you'll catch a cold." Both Ayame and Shigure seat dropped.
"Not that haa-san!" Shigure pulled on Ayame's arm sending him to the ground with a 'thud'.
"ow!" Ayame yelled as he was brought to an awkward sitting position on the floor.
"Ayame…" Hatori stared in awe at his cousin, waiting for an explanation.
"Um, well, you see Tori-san, your father asked me to play a joke on you to find out what happened to us after that party. It would seem that he went to pick us up but we weren't there so when we told him that we spent the night… well he knew something was up. So he came up with this whole thing to make me trip and have a slight concussion then after I woke up he told me his plan and of course I had to modify it a bit but anyway…" this is the part where Shigure, Hatori and the authoress space out and ignore the rantings of the young snake. "And that's how we ended up here and you both looked at me like you wanted an explanation so I told you 'um, well, you see Tori-san'…"
"Okay!" Shigure pressed a finger to Ayame's delicate lips. "We get it…"
"So does that mean you're both mad at me now?" Ayame asked with a quivering voice.
"Why would we be mad at you… if anyone we should be mad at my father or ourselves." Hatori kneeled down to be at eye level with the snake.
"First of all, for being tricked by an old man…" Shigure piped in. "And second of all for getting ourselves into this mess in the first place." He let his finger trail down from Ayame's lips and cup his chin. At this Ayame smiled and sniffled a few tears away.
"I've always liked killing two birds with one stone." A young voice came from the shadows watching the three.
"Ha…" an older man chuckled. "Yes, I've always preferred to use as little input as possible." He said putting the thermometer into the younger boy's mouth. "I just hate saying it that way…"
A/N: ha ha ha! Finally I'm done! I had this whole thing written out I just didn't have enough time to type it! Yay! Tell me if you want me to continue… I'm not sure if I should or not. I'm out of school now! Yay! Summer break!
