Phew! I think…yeah…that this is the hardest fic I've ever written. I tend to write, usually, light shonen ai…and this one was just too much for me –sighs- But well, you're the ones up to read it and tell me what you think about it… RabixKanda. I think Kanda's a bit OCC…and Rabi too, but as I said, you're the ones telling me.
I don't own anything…except for the idea and the apologies… I remind you: I'm not a native English speaker, so spelling and grammatical mistakes may be up ahead… It's the first chapter. And this one goes for Ahiru-tama, because she kind of…encouraged me to post it and to put my heart in this! For you, Ahiru-tama!

Their breathings were heavy. He soon managed to calm down his own a bit, but he could still hear his comrade's pants behind him. He closed his eyes, and then he opened them up again.
Kanda looked around. Half the town was almost completely destroyed. Those akumas were really up to something. He deactivated his Mugen and kept it on it's sheathe, safely, as he turned to see Rabi, whose breathing was returning back to normal. The red head was lying flat on the floor with his arms wide open, staring at the dark blue sky. Kanda went near him and kicked him hard on the ribs.
That made Rabi yelp in pain.
"Oww! What was that for?!" he asked the Japanese exorcist as the last one turned again and left Rabi rubbing his pained ribs.
"Stand up…" Kanda simply replied "You're losing time as always. We're returning to the Order tomorrow…"he added stopping and waiting for the other to catch him up.
Meanwhile, the young Bookman apprentice sat down and tried to get up as fast as he could with his injured body.
"Yeah, well, you could've done it kindly, you know? I would've stood up anyways…" he pouted, still hurt and walking to get to the sword wielding exorcist.
"I know…" said Kanda, stiffly once Rabi was next to him and started walking again.
"Then why did you do it?" asked Rabi tilting his head, apparently, confused.
"Because it's fun to tease you…" Kanda's voice was tuneless, but this answer almost makes Rabi slip and fall.
A sweat drop ran down Rabi's face.
"You're just so mean with me, Yuu-chan!" he started faking sobbing and sniffing noises. Kanda rolled his eyes at that, but didn't say a thing.
They were walking to the place they were staying in. The town's ruins were immersed in a gloomy silence. The only things that could be heard breaking the cold silent atmosphere were their steps.
Rabi couldn't stand it anymore and remembered something that made him smirk with glee and then let out a joyful little laugh.
And Kanda found that annoying.
"What are you smirking at?" he asked out of curiosity, but with a vein throbbing dangerously on his temple.
"Oh, well… I just remembered something that could make up for you being such a meanie…" Kanda raised an eyebrow, looking back in his thoughts and wondering what the hell was he talking about. He didn't like the evil tune and grin he used when he said it.
It simply wasn't a good omen.
"Explain yourself…"asked Kanda giving up because he couldn't find anything.
"Oh, Yuu never remembers anything…" said Rabi, smirking in mischief. "But, you know? Now you really should try harder and remember…so you don't get all fussy or mad when the time to do what we agreed to do last night comes…"
"What d' you…?" and then a rather cloudy, confusing memory came to him. His eyes widened as it became a little bit clearer.

He was really tired. His eyes were closing automatically so he dozed off as soon as he plopped on his bed. He was already dreaming when he suddenly heard someone knocking at the door. He tried to ignore it as it sounded so distant, but then he heard something else that made him let out a sleepy, annoyed grunt.
"Yuu…" a known but, at that moment, unrecognizable voice said at the other side of the room's door. " Yuu…"it insisted. Kanda didn't want to answer. His mouth could barely move, his voice was already sleeping and he had no intentions of waking it up. Maybe if he didn't answer, the one out there would desist and leave.
But that wasn't Rabi's way of doing things.
The eye-patched teen took the door's knob and opened it almost tenderly. He saw the lump Kanda's body formed under the clean white blankets. Rabi had a pillow against his chest and hid half his face with it. He stared at Kanda for a while, trying to make him notice he was there.
And he actually noticed. But he also was half sleep, so he just waited for him to leave.
"Yuu…" Rabi repeated. His voice was quiet and his tune was so sweet, anyone would have melted. "Yuu…d' you mind if I sleep with you tonight?"
And that forced Kanda's automatic words to come to his defenceless body.
"No… you can't…" he said through a muffled voice.
"Oh, but Yuu…you're going on a mission tomorrow…"
"So what?" he spat.
"Well, I don't know when I'll get to see you again…and I wanted to be the first one to see you leaving and to tell you to take care. And I…" Rabi went on, smirking under the pillow but trying not to laugh so Yuu wouldn't notice that his lips we're already tilting up " I thought the best way I could make sure to do so was to sleep with you tonight…"
There was a moment of silence. Actually, Kanda was falling asleep again, but once he realized the red head had already finished, he reacted and answered.
"No…" he had no idea, though of what the hell Rabi just told him.
"Oh, please…"
"I said 'no'…"
The Bookman apprentice sighed, but then, he had another idea, because he noticed Kanda was just answering mechanically since he was half asleep.
"Well, then…you wouldn't mind if I sleep with you next time we're together, would you?"
"No…" Rabi smiled frankly. He took that as a 'No I wouldn't mind at all', obviously, for his own convenience.
"Really, you wouldn't mind if we sleep together the very next time we find ourselves in the same place even if that's tomorrow? Insisted the mischievous teenager in an amused tune.
"No…" replied again poor unconscious Kanda.
Rabi's lips formed a wide grin. He had just managed to get what he wanted.
"Fine, then! Have a nice day tomorrow, Yuu!" he said, happily and turning to leave the room when Kanda repeated "No…" Rabi tried not to laugh and Kanda fell asleep again, not knowing what he had just agreed to do.
Next day, first thing in the morning, there were not only one, but two exorcists heading to that mission were Kanda Yuu was supposed to go on his own.

"You bastard…" said the Asian under his breath, disgusted at what he had remembered. " You set me a trap!" he shouted out as he tried to catch Rabi who was already running and laughing, apparently, having fun at Yuu's reaction.
"I didn't! I asked you twice to make sure! You could've told me you did mind but, as you didn't, now we'll have to sleep together!"
"But you weren't even supposed to come to this mission in the first place, you idiot!" said Kanda really annoyed, still running behind Rabi "And I was numb!"
"Come on, Yuu. People have to keep their promises…and they say 'the sooner, the better'"
"I NEVER PROMISED YOU ANYTHING!" a slight shade of pink coloured Kanda's pale features. The red head said nothing else, but he was still smiling, amused. He thought it best to let him calm down…but he wasn't giving up.
He was going to fulfill his plan even though he had to make it by force.
They were still running and then they realized that they were at the entrance door of the place they were staying in. They entered, separated, as Kanda was still full of grudge.
The night was only about to start and lots of things were about to happen…
