Hokuto's voice: I bet you've heard the usual love stories between a man and a woman. The ones where they meet, fall in love, and then they live happily ever after? Sounds like old, classical fairy tales, don't they?

Well, this shy young man right here is going to ask you a question. *Hokuto looks at the blushing Subaru who is cutely pouting and has turned his head so you can only see his left profile* Okay, so _I'm_ going to ask you a question: Ever met someone that you didn't think you'd ever fall for?

Well, he did. *points at Subaru* As he ran and fell face down on one of Japan's train stations, he met that 'someone' about one month ago. *laughs as Subaru pulls his trademark black hat cutely over his face*

Only, there's a few problems...
and of them is...


...he's a guy too. *big sweatdrop from Subaru* *Hokuto giggles*


But hey, this isn't a fairy tale. And this a'int EVER going to be your 'usual love story', now is it?

*looks at Seishirou* Well, not with Sei-chan around. *laughs hysterically and madly* Ohohohohohoho!

*Seishirou smirks*




You drive me crazy
by Miyamoto Yui


Day 1 - I don't need luck.


Again, she had tricked me. I stood there in her room watching her as she finished packing.

I shook my head mercilessly as my cheeks became red with warmth and crimson. "But Hokuto-chan!"

"You will be fine~!" she said as she picked up her bags. She then dropped them again as she hit my shoulder and put her hands on her hips. Then, she sighed as she put one of her hands on her forehead. "Subaru. I need a break. It'll drive me nuts if I don't get out."

"But you go out all the time." Subaru blinked with his pleading eyes.

"I know, but this is different. I need to get away from Tokyo." She sighed as she put her hands on his shoulders. "And, I've been putting all this effort for you to say something to Seishirou and it's not getting anywhere. It's driving me nuts. I need to flee this madness for a week. And maybe you might get _somewhere_. 'sides, there's a sale and I need more clothes to sew."

I nodded. I understood all the reasons she said and the ones she didn't. But it wasn't that. Not that at all. I still stood there blankly with blinking eyes. "You can't leave me with him."

I searched around for an answer as my eyes looked from side to side. I don't know how to lie though...
"How about...how about if he jumps me?"

"Wonderful! I knew you'd see it my way eventually!" Hokuto-chan rubbed my head with a smile of delight upon her face. "I'm so proud of you!"

A bead of sweat fell from my forehead.

"Sei-chan will be here any minute."

"Why does he have to live here with me?" I asked as she took up her bags again. "I'm sorry for whining, Hokuto-chan. But I don't see the point of him living here for the week that you're gone."

With much sincerity, she glanced back at me. Putting her bags down again, she put her hand on my cheek. "You'd be lonely without me. We've never been away from each other for so long. Remember what happened last time?"

I nodded and began to smile as we touched forehead to forehead. "Yeah, you drove grandmother's helper crazy that she quit the next day."

"And I didn't even open my mouth."

I gave her a Look as one of my eyebrows went up slightly. "Must have been a miracle."

"Hey!" She then kissed my forehead and took up her bags again. "You know I love you, Subaru. I only tell you ten million times a day."

"And I'll take over that for the next week starting now?" Seishirou's voice interjected as he closed the front door behind him. "Maybe I won't stop even then?"
I stood there blushing as my eyes scrunched up in the hallway as Hokuto-chan laughed.

Great, perfect. This is going just great.

Rushing down the hallway, she grabbed Sei-chan's head so that she could kiss Sei-chan on the cheek. "Great timing! And Thanks!"

"Oh!" She turned around as she ran back to me. "I forgot something. Here."

Pushing it into my hands, she winked at me. Then, she smiled and kissed me on the cheek.

"Bye!"

The door slammed behind her and I still looked at the whoosh that had left the apartment.

Seishirou and I looked at each other. He smiled at me with a mischievious grin.

I don't like the looks of this already...


"I think this arrangement is just fine," Seishirou said with that same grin on his face.

Could he read my thoughts so well?!

He came closer to me with his two bags to his sides. He then bent down a bit so that we could look at each other face to face. "So, where do I put my things?"

I gulped. "O-over there."

He instantly dropped his things and took my wrists as he pressed them gently on the wall behind me.

"Umm...Seishirou-san?"

He leaned closer to me. Close enough that our bangs touched. Then, our foreheads touched lightly.

I protested lightly by trying to get away.

"Subaru-kun?"

He has really nice eyes...

Doki doki doki...

"H-h-hai?" I gulped again as I tried to back away into the darn wall. Of course, it was futile.

Dokidokidokidokidoki...

I could feel his breath on my face as my temperature rose higher and higher.

"You're so fun to tease." He then closed his eyes and smiled his fabulous smile. "You're so cute, Subaru-kun."

Seishirou then let go and laughed as he went down the hall with his bags.

I rarely get upset, but...
I'm going to kill you, Hokuto-chan!!!!!!!!!!

"Remind me to thank Hokuto-chan later!" Seishirou called from 'his' (thank god, temporary) room.

Are you reading my mind?!


I stood there traumatized against the wall huffing and puffing. I didn't know if I was white from shock and fear or blushing like there was no tomorrow.

Then, I opened the little 'present' my sister had given to me.

My face went even more pale.

"A charm for relationships, huh?" Seishirou said as he took the charm from my hands.
"How nice. Your sister is so thoughtful."

"I..I..." I stammered not knowing what to say. My mind was really messed up at that moment.

But, Seishirou, being the devil that he was, tilted his head at me and once again grinned with obvious mischievious intentions in mind. "But we don't need charms, now do we, Subaru-kun?"

He gave me a serious look as he looked me straight in the eye as he said,

"I don't need luck."

Author's note:
The title will speak for itself. ^_________^ I'm sure there are many that would like to raise their hand or nod with me about feeling this way for Seishirou and Subaru. Or for an unrequited love? Hey, I'll raise my hand there too...*sighs*

Okay, so Subaru is kind of-no, really-ot, but have fun with him. I plan to! *blinks, drools, wipes drool* I swear I didn't mean it in some sick way until I read what I just typed right now.

WAI~! I didn't expect such great feedback about the waffy fics. *winces* THANK YOU SO MUCH! It's entirely Hiki-chan's fault though, so you can thank her. I remember her saying something about how I 'moved onto' X and then I thought, "That's right. I don't see many tb fics out there. They're mostly X Sei-chan and Subaru." And you can thank Adri too. She's been encouraging me since I started this fandom and I love her for it.
And dammit, I was feeling down so I needed something nice and waffy to pick me up! And what better than my two adorable, twisted anime men from TB? *grins widely and grabs her chibis from her bedroom*
