A story request from Nagareboshi-Lover. :3 And of course it's for all of you as well. Hope you enjoy.
I only see you.
The sun shone brightly in Shirou's room that Monday morning. And the sun made him smile as he woke up and stretched. Ordinarily, Shirou couldn't stand mornings, let alone Monday mornings. But this last week had put him in a great mood. All because of him...
Shirou hugged his knees and stared at his wall for a few moments, running his hands through his hair and suddenly stopped, feeling slight panic. He had only just released his true soul a few days prior and it still made him a little fidgety. Being a wolf spirit was still coming as a bit of a shock, even if he inwardly knew this whole time.
After a few moments, he stretched his arms again, feeling his back pop and got out of bed, grabbing his clothes and quickly got in the shower. He might've been in a great mood this morning, but it didn't mean he was wide awake for it. The hot water would do him some good, if any.
After his shower, he got dressed and walked into his kitchen for something to eat. An apple would do for now. Shirou sighed and looked at the clock. School today. Always a big fun experience...not. Shirou chuckled, grabbed an apple and his stuff and walked out the door. He passed by many people, chewing on his apple and eventually tossing it in the trash bin. Not 3 feet from the school and when he looked up, he was greeted with an interesting sight.
Norio was peeking over the gate, a look of preditorial anger and fear written all over his face. Shirou tilted his head and walked up next to the boy, calmly asking,
"Tsuburaya-kun, what are you doing?"
Norio looked up and pulled Shirou down by his sleeve, saying,
"See that girl over there?"
Shirou looked over the gate and saw a blond haired girl with dark blue eyes talking with Kunimasa. He looked back at Norio, nodding, understanding a little where this was going.
Norio said,
"She's a new student here and apparently, she's gotten a lot of attention from the other students, if you know what I mean. Plus, she's spending too much time around Kunimasa and Yonekuni-senpai. And that really bothers me."
He slid his head around to see what they were doing and all they really were doing...was talking. Shirou scratched his neck and said with a nervous laugh,
"Tsuburaya-kun, you need to have more faith in Kunimasa. I seriously doubt he'd leave you for her."
Norio looked at him with a look of sheer sadness and nodded.
"I know that, but you know the way they are. They have us, yet they constantly go around flaunting themselves with other girls. To be honest, I'm sick of it. Why aren't you?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, how can you be so calm with Yonekuni-senpai and his undying attention towards girls? If all things, it should make you at least a little peeved."
Shirou opened his mouth, in an attempt to say 'That's just how he and Kunimasa are. We can't change them unless they're willing to change for us.'
However, that's not what came out. In fact, nothing came out of Shirou's mouth. He gapped for a moment, running Norio's statement through his head. He finally shut his mouth and blinked.
By god, the kid was right. He could be mature about it or not, but Norio was in deed right. In all honesty, even before that day Yonekuni finally came to his senses, Shirou was a little peeved to see all of Yonekuni's attention directed towards girls.
Granted, this was still after Yonekuni broke off their so called 'friend ship', but Shirou just couldn't sit back and pretend it never happened. And after that day in his house, Shirou was sure that something in Yonekuni's eyes had changed. Sometime after Kunimasa and Norio left, Yonekuni tackled Shirou to the bed and stared into his eyes, kissing his neck. He had whispered something into his ear and up until now, Shirou never remembered what it was. Now he remembered and it made him a little uneasy about the truth of it
I only see you.
Four words and that day, they made Shirou's heart explode in his chest. All of his junior high and high school life, he had waited for those words.
And now that he heard them from the one he had loved for so many years, he wasn't quite sure how honest Yonekuni was being.
It was break time in the class and Shirou spent it reading a new book he had purchased Saturday. He sometimes expanded his mind by taking notes about the book, if there was nothing else to do. And for at least the third time, he looked over at Yonekuni, who was staring at the board, very...very...bored. Shirou smiled and continued writing his notes, unaware of another blond coming up to his boyfriend...ok well, secret boyfriend.
At the corner of his eye, he saw her. The same girl Norio was talking about this morning. And she was getting dangerously close to what Shirou dubbed as his, as preditorial as it seemed.
The aura was growing thicker and thicker as she sat on Yonekuni's desk, chatting about a random nothing. Of course, Yonekuni was staring up at her smiling and rubbing her hand, an annoying trait. Most of Shirou's control had snapped.
By lunch, it was getting, a tad worse. She spent more and more time around Yonekuni, much to Shirou's dismay. Now he was seeing why Norio was so worried this morning. This girl was switching from Kunimasa to Yonekuni and it was making both Norio and Shirou very...very...aggressive.
Last class of the day and all of Shirou's pencils had fallen under his merciless snapping. Lessons were done and everyone was just waiting for the bell to ring. What a grand Monday this turned out to be. Shirou had woken up in a great mood and was about to go to bed ready to murder someone.
Yonekuni looked over at the other and saw his aggressive writing on a piece of paper. This wasn't good. And the aura radiating off him wasn't good either. The blond man looked up at the girl sitting on his desk and said,
"I'm afraid I can't go with you tonight. Something's just come up and it needs my 'full attention.'" Inside Yonekuni's head, all he could think of how stupid that statement sounded. But then, it was for a good reason. Shirou was pissed. And he was either pissed at him or pissed at the girl. Either way, he was mad and when Shirou was mad, it was for nothing stupid.
The girl pouted and crossed her legs, her skirt riding up a bit.
"Oh come on, Madarame-kun...just this one night and I promise...I'll make it uber fun."
Yonekuni heard another one of Shirou's pencils snap and fall to the floor with a plop. He had to find a way out of this mess. He had never really said no to a girl before, but this was beginning to get irritating. This girl was just asking for a death sentence.
Again, he said politely,
"As I said before, something needs my attention and I'm not about to give that up. I'm sorry, but I have to say no."
Shirou heard that and suddenly felt a little better. The urge to kill was gone, only slightly. He set his ink pen down, trying to calm his erratic heartbeat.
Until a sudden crash drew his attention (and the attention of others) to the sight. The girl had fallen on top of Yonekuni, a hidden stare on her face and had planted a large kiss on his lips. Yonekuni was more than surprised. This was down right attacking. His eyes latched onto to Shirou and saw black ink covering his hands. He also saw tears running down his face.
This was more than Shirou needed to see. He got up, grabbed his bag and ran out of the class, ignoring his teachers calls and the calls of other students.
Yonekuni pushed the girl off and got to his feet, staring at the door. Now it had just gotten ten times more serious than it already was. He hated seeing those tears on Shirou's face. It made him disgusted...disgusted with himself. He grabbed his bag right as the bell rang and just before he made his way to the door, the girl stopped him and said,
"Oh leave him. He's probably fine. Now come on. Let's get going."
In the years Yonekuni spent being the center of attention around girls (and vice versa) never in his life had he felt more angry with this one girl. He raised his hand and slammed in on his desk, his dark aura radiating off his body.
The girl suddenly got nervous. She had heard the Madarame brothers were the heart throbs of the school and wanted a chance with both of them. She was also informed they'd never yell at a girl. Well, whoever told her this was about to get a run for his or her money.
"You listen to me and you listen good. There are many things I hate in this world. One of them is men. Everyone knows that...:"
He pointed to Shirou's desk, which had a smudge of ink on the top.
"But this man is the biggest exception. He's the only one whose ever shown me the slightest bit of care even though I continuously hurt him over and over. Now I hurt him in the worst way and given the circumstances...I need to talk to him. I'm done with you...and stay away from my brother."
He walked to the door and was hit with,
"Why do you care that the president is upset?"
Yonekuni didn't turn and he smiled, feeling his heart throb.
"Because in this mad world of people...I only can see him."
With that, he slammed the door shut, knowing that people had some of the weirdest stares plastered on their faces. But he didn't care. He said his peace and went on to find Shirou, knowing all to well where he might be.
