RI-II-ING!

Konatsu sighed in relief. The school day was finally over. Ever since lunch he couldn't seem to pay attention; he would often catch himself staring into space, thinking about the kiss. Then came last class. He timed it so that he walked in just as the final bell rang. He walked in and sat down in the first seat he saw, since the teacher didn't have a seating chart. He casually looked around and found Hyuuga sitting a row ahead and two seats over. As the class wore on, he tried to keep his eyes off of him, but they kept wandering over to where Hyuuga sat. Twice Hyuuga would look over and Konatsu would blush and turn back to his work. When this happened, Konatsu would hear Hyuuga chuckling, which made him bush even harder. He was only too happy to hear the bell ring.

"Kona-chan!" Hyuuga called cheerfully as he picked up his bag. "Let's go to Mc Donald's." He was very cheerful and seemed to not notice, or ignored, Konatsu's awkwardness.

"Why?" Konatsu asked, knowing he might as well just go with the flow and walked out with him.

"'Cause I'm hungry. I missed lunch and only had Pop Tarts for breakfast. Breakfast was a forever ago." He sighed as his stomach growled loudly as if it was confirming his statement.

"But you eat sweets all day!" Konatsu accused him.

"Yeah, but they're sweets," Hyuuga smiled. "I want food. I love sweets, but they're not yummy food."

"All right." Konatsu consented. "I'll go to Mc Donald's, but you're paying! And I get 2 Big Mac meals." He held 2 fingers to accentuate his point.

Hyuuga laughed. "Okie doke!" He put his hand on Konatsu's head and ruffled his hair affectionately, but removed it when he felt Konatsu stiffen. They walked to Hyuuga's jeep in silence. Hyuuga pulled his keys out of his pocket and unlocked it, throwing his bag in the back along with Konatsu's. He got in and turned on the radio and, not wanting to talk right now, turned it up to a teeth rattling boom. Konatsu clenched his teeth and reached over to turn it down to a low roar. Hyuuga, thinking about something fun, reached over and switched the radio station to one that he knew Konatsu hated. Konatsu, falling for his trap, turned it back to the original station. They took turns fighting over the radio without saying a word until they arrived at Mc Donald's. They got out and went inside where, surprisingly, there weren't that many people. Normally this place would be crowded after school. Konatsu went and grabbed a table while he went to order. He went back to the table to wait on their food.

"Done?" Konatsu asked, sitting at a table with chairs.

"Yeah." Hyuuga smiled wickedly. He grabbed Konatsu and pulled him over to a booth seat in the corner, where the only people that could see them were the employees going in the supply closet. "Let's sit here!" He said.

"Wait! What?! Why?" Konatsu cried as he fell into the seat when Hyuuga pulled him down with him. Hyuuga had purposely maneuvered him to sit so close that there legs were touching. He squirmed and wondered what the hell was going on. "The other seat was perfectly fine!" he said.

"But in that seat we could have been seen when we kiss." he said.

"Wait! What?" Konatsu asked, wondering if he heard wrong and turned toward him.

"Kiss." Hyuuga said and kissed him. Konatsu automatically froze again and Hyuuga thought that he needed to fix that. His left hand went up and wrapped around the back of Konatsu's neck and he felt him start to relax into the kiss. Moving his hand behind to the small of his back, Hyuuga pulled him closer and ran his tongue along his lips and pushed it in without waiting. But Konatsu didn't seem to mind, his tongue eagerly met Hyuuga's and they battled together for a few minutes until Konatsu had to pull away. Hyuuga pecked him on the forehead and slid out the back side of the booth. When Konatsu, with the cutest blush on his face, looked at him questionally; he said, "They called our number." Konatsu nodded and started to fidget until he walked away.

He wanted to have a serious conversation with Hyuuga, but he didn't know where to start. And Hyuuga just kept kissing him. Not that he didn't enjoy it, he had been dreaming of this for such a long time, and now he wanted to do it all the time. But he was embarrassed whenever Hyuuga would surprise it on him. Not that he would be any better if it wasn't surprised on him; he would probably be more uneasy than he was now. He sighed and pushed his thought away, not bothering about his blush, since that wasn't going away anytime soon.

"Here." Hyuuga said setting the tray down with a couple of sodas. "Sprite or Dr. Pepper?" he asked nudging Konatsu over so he could sit down. Konatsu slid down and made enough room so that they could fit a football between them, but close enough to feel the others body heat.

"Hmmm, I'll take the Dr. Pepper." He smiled as he picked Hyuuga's favorite.

"Too bad." Hyuuga stuck his tongue out at Konatsu and gave him the Sprite and his food. He grabbed his own chicken nuggets and munched happily for a few moments. Finally, Konatsu couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hyuuga..."

"Hmm?" Hyuuga turned toward him. "Aww! Kona-chan, you're blushing!" He teased the fidgeting Konatsu.

"Sh-shut up!" Konatsu blushed harder and shot a quick glare at him. "I am trying to have a conversation with you!" He took a bite out of his burger and busied himself with eating to avoid making eye contact with Hyuuga.

"Ok." Hyuuga was surprisingly serious. "What do you want to know?" he asked, knowing where this was going.

"How did you get accepted into the Black Hawks" That wasn't the question burning in his mind, but it was the first one he was able to say without blushing. "Because there is no way in hell you willingly, or knowingly for that matter, applied there." He heard Hyuuga snort.

"Damn strait." He said. "When summer first got out, I was dragged along to this high class bullshit by my aunt." Konatsu knew that Hyuuga cussed more when it came to his family and their activities. Especially when it involved him. "So I went there and did the normal routine, only there was this guy there that was supposedly from our school. He was so out of place and scary that no one dared to talk to him. Everyone stayed at least 10 feet away and kept glancing at him as if he was going go on a murding rampage at any moment. It was awesome!" Hyuuga laughed and his happy go lucky attitude was back again. "You should have been there, Konatsu, it was hilarious."

"Let me guess." Konatsu said dryly. "You introduced yourself."

"Of course!" Konatsu mouthed 'of course' with a roll of his eyes as he reached for his Sprite. "He like glared at me and was totally scary, but when my aunt came around to show me off, he threatened to 'dismember her if she dared to disturb us.' She ran away so fast that she ran into someone!" He laughed at the memory. "Anyway, we talked awhile and found out we have a lot in common. After that we hung out a couple of times. It was only when I got the Acceptance Letter in the mail that I realized that he was Field Marshall of the Black Hawks."

"WHAT?!" Konatsu shouted. He stared at Hyuuga with his big, round, brownish-amber eyes. "You met Ayanami-sama!" Hyuuga nodded with a big smile on his face. "But-but-"

"And that's how I got in!" Hyuuga ended happily with a clap of his hands.

"But he's famous and-and-"

"Yes, he is famous, along with the rest of the Black Hawks." Hyuuga said with an exagerated sigh. "And you will be too, once you get in."

Konatsu sat back and thought about he said. Hyuuga was the type to get too luckky, too fast. And he normally didn't take any kind of offers unless he worked for it and felt he deserved them. Konatsu remembered that Hyuuga was planning on refusing, but accepted because of him. He suddenly felt self consious and regretted ever telling him about his goal to be in the Black Hawks.

"Look, you dont have to join just for me, okay?" Konatsu played with his straw to keep from looking at him. "Besides..."

"What do you mean by all of this?" he asked, gesturing at nothing particular. "You making me a Begleiter and..." he sighed in defeat. There was no way he was going to say it.

"Kissing you?" Hyuuga smirked at Konatsu's embarressment, even though his insides were squirming. "Jeez, Konatsu. Isn't it obvious?" Hyuuga regretted his word as soon as he saw Konatsu cringe in himuliation. "Look, if you don't like me, then fine. But I would just adopt you as a brother instead. I won't be the one that ruins your dreams, Konatsu." And with that said, he got up and left a confused and shocked Konatsu to finish his meal.

"Hey!"

"Hey kid!"

"Wait! Urgh! Turn around will ya?!"

"PIPSQUEAK!"

A hand stopped Teito as he was exiting the building. He quickly pulled his headphones out of his ear and turned around. "Huh?" he asked.

"Thats all you got? I just lost my voice from shouting for you and the most intelligent thing you have to say is 'huh'? Geeze-" Teito looked at the tall guy in front of him and wondered what was going on. "What's your name again kid?"

"Uh." Teito was surprised at how beautiful his eyes were. "Sorry, didn't hear you. I had earphones in." He showed his buds to prove his point. " And I'm Teito Klein." He held his hand out to shake, but let it drop after the guy rolled his eyes at him. "Should we move off to the side out of the way?" he wanted to move this along so he could meet up with Hakuren and Mikage.

"Nah. The crowd won't bother us." He smirked and stared at Teito. "So Teito, what do you like to do fo fun?"

"What?" Now, Teito wasn't expecting much, but that question threw him off. Like miles off. "Uh...I guess read and play with my serv- I mean friends." He caught himself just in time.

"Really? How lame? Whatever- I just wanted you to know that you really helped me out earlier and so I was going to invite you to a special screening of the new Avengers movie coming out. Me and my friends are going and I have two extra tickets, so you and a date can come with." He tossed an envelope to him and waved before taking off.

"Ah, thanks!" he called out to him. he looked in the envelope and saw 2 tickets with a note.

If you need a ride Castor will pick you up at 7:00. Txt him at (***)***-****. Look nice.

Frau

Teito stared at the note. Of course! Frau was the one who he helped earlier today. And now he was invited to a movie with the rest of the 4 ghosts! Mikage would never believe this!
