Mouse Trap
Chapter Three: Family Bonding
"WHY can't everyone just shut the hell up?"
Kyou slams the door of his room, sending vibrations throughout the house. He throws himself onto his bed. Why is this such a damn big deal! It's not! Shut up, Kyou!
"Kyou-kun, are u alright?" Tohru calls from the other side of door in her sweet and sincere way.
Hell no! Kyou suppresses the urge to scream. "I'm fine!" For some reason, Kyou could never get mad at the girl though. His feelings for her is unexplainable in that whenever Tohru smiles, Kyou would feel like he could somehow smile along with her and when Tohru is crying, it's one of the most miserable moments in his memory. He couldn't admit it but she is important to him.
"But won't you come down," the girl suggests nervously, "the party has started."
The party started long before this...
"I don't care!" Somehow Kyou knows that even he would not believe himself. I'm an idiot!
"But Kyou-kun..." Tohru sounds worried, as if she is about to cry any minute. Kyou has learned through the times he's experienced with her when tears are going to flow from her eyes. And this is one of those times.
Damn it!
Kyou walks over to the door and opens it abruptly. True enough, he sees a worried looking girl with wet eyes. God!
Tohru, seeing that the neko has come out of his room steps away. "Kyou-kun..."
The cat, seeing the distraught look on her face, makes an 'hmph' sound and walks downstairs. This is as nice to her as he can make himself be.
Tohru follows down the steps without a word, knowing that she has already done what she could and that her friend would not like it if she asked more from him. Her next task would be to do what she does so good at in the kitchen, to cook for the family she has so miraculous acquired. And that's not until later on in the evening.
Feeling regret for coming down, Kyou debates on whether to go back upstairs or to enter the noisy living room. Are you stupid! You're not a scared of them! You can handle it! Plus, she'll just get you to come back down anyway!
Finally decided, the neko opened the door with his grim and angry poker face on.
"KYOU! YOU'VE FINALLY JOINED US!" the silver-haired man greeted. Now everyone's attention is on the cat.
Kyou sees Shigure whisper on Hatori's shoulder softly, "Didn't I tell you Tohru will be able to bring him down..."
Crappy dog! The neko feels slightly exposed, having been revealed that he has a weakness. But what makes him feel even worse is the grin he sees on his rival's flawless face. Kyou looks at the Prince with utter dispassion. What are you smiling at? Damn Rat!
"COME ON, MY DEAR COUSIN! WE WERE JUST GOING TO START SINGING!" Aya pats Kyou hard on the back energetically. The cat looks up at the creepy smiling man with hatred. You better stay away from me!
"Ayame, I suggest you calm down," Hatori, the life-saver, pitches in.
"Ha-san, we're here to have fun!" Shigure, who is sitting next to the dragon, comments, putting his arms around the other man.
The doctor makes a face, wishing for the dog to remain distant again. "GURE-CHAN, AND WHAT ABOUT ME?" Ayame pops out from behind the two.
Shigure unlatches Hatori. "AYA! IT WILL ALWAYS BE YOU AND ME!" The two men hold hands while the back ground around the two has become unexplainably pink and sparkly with hearts floating about.
"AND TORI-CHAN, DON'T FORGET ABOUT TORI-CHAN!" the snake beams with the light of self-confidence.
Shigure puts his arms around Hatori again. "Ah! Of course not! Ha-san!" Ayame does the same, choking the dragon whose expression is something like: 'get your hands off me!'
Jesus, I'm going to barf! With unspeakable disgust, Kyou looks away.
"Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! Let's sing this!" a high-pitched and cute voice rings through the atmosphere. The neko let's his curiosity open his eyes. He sees that Momiji and Haru are getting Yuki to sing while the three older men are doing...whatever they're doing at the moment. Kyou feels slightly annoyed by this and tries to take it jealousy away by scanning the room. Only Hiro and Ritsu are quiet, sitting at their own corners. Hiro has on an I-don't-care-you-guys-are-so-immature look, while Ritsu's face is none other than a I'm-so-sorry expression.
At least I'm not the only one hating this family night...
It was of course Tohru's idea to have this little get together, which was seconded by Shigure, Ayame, and the girls who want to spend time with Tohru. Kyou can imagine the girls at the mall, having ice cream and all that. Why the hell did it have to be a family thing? This is stupid!
Kyou takes his seat, crossing his arms and determined to remain this way until the day is done. Unfortunately for him though, this is not what is going to happen.
After a few minutes and Ayame has finally stopped fondling over his two best friends, Kyou is unlucky to be the first thing the snake sees.
"KYOU! WHY ARE YOU JUST SITTING THERE?" the man approaches the cat who only wants to be left alone. The snake has his hands on his hips and in a commanding tone he points, "I WANT ALL OF YOU TO HAVE FUN! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!" Of course, he is referring to the three who is off in their own worlds. "WE'RE ALL FAMILY! AND I WANT US TO ACT LIKE ONE!"
Actually, it did not make sense even in Aya's sense, but what the heck, Aya never makes much sense.
When the hebi is done with the strange serious act, he returns to his smiling dramatic self. "OH, RITSU! YOU'RE ALL BY YOURSELF! COME! LET'S SING!" he grabs the sitting blond by the elbow and drags him to the place where Momiji has just resumed singing.
"I'M SO SORRY!" Ritsu does a thousand bows before Shigure pokes him and he lands lightly on the floor with a whiz.
"HOHOHO!" Ayame's laugh can be heard throughout the house. He proceeds to his next victim. "HIRO-CHAN!" The small boy gives him a glare. A sparkle just appeared in Aya's eyes. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE DON'T DO AS I SAY!"
Eeekkk...
Now, even for Kyou that was scary. Aya can be very, very scary...
The little lamb has an express like this: O.O He couldn't even respond.
Aya smiles again. He takes the boy's hand and drags him to the singing corner where Ritsu still lays 'dead'.
Kyou can sense the danger. The snake turns his head towards him. CRAP! He doesn't like the look that man is giving him. "NOW, KYOU-KUN, ARE YOU GOING TO COOPERATE ON YOUR OWN OR WILL I HAVE TO MAKE YOU COOPERATE!" Aya is super creepy now, his whole body emitting fire.
The neko's mind is completely blank. He won't admit it but he is a bit scared of this man whom he doesn't know what he is capable of. He peers at the corner to see happy smiles from his other cousins. He catches a glimpse of the mouse. He is smirking at him again, knowing that Kyou is in a position in which he is helpless. He can't just let that rat grin at him!
With that, Kyou willingly takes his place next to the out-like-a-light cousin. Damn him! However, he can't help noticing that Yuki is watching him. Look away! You creep!
But even though Kyou is sitting there he will only listen to the others sing. Aya's voice is something Kyou will not be forgetting any time soon, or his ears won't let him forget. But even worse is Yuki's voice; he actually sings and it is so hard for the neko to admit that the Prince is that good at it, that good at everything. Plus, Yuki's voice is too beautiful to forget.
Kyou himself doesn't notice it but when Yuki is singing, his entire mind is lost, pieces of it scattering and floating away from him. He is so focused on Yuki that he can't see the sly mouse notice that Kyou is noticing him, which is exactly what he wants.
"Yuki, sing with me again!" Momiji pouts adorably.
The Prince smiles charmingly, "Sure."
"No way! Yuki is singing with me now!" Haru intercedes, taking the mouse away from the boy.
"Wah!" the bunny whines.
Yuki comes immediately to calm the crying one. "I'll sing with everyone." Momiji smiles at this.
Why is he so nice? So nice to everyone! Everyone but me! Shut it, Kyou! Ignore him!
"Yuki!" Momiji takes his chance to hug the very handsome boy.
Hands off! No! I don't care!
"Hey, you!" Haru is the one who actually stands up to this. Of course, this is when they fight some more.
"Yuki, mine!"
"Brat! He's not yours!"
Stop fighting over him! He's not either of yours! Why am I caring?
"Ah, reminds me of us..." Shigure comments nostalgically, looking at Aya and Hatori.
Of course, it is only Aya who agrees. "HOHOHO, I AM SO THRILLED TO SEE US GETTING ALONG."
Hatori only sighs, "This is not right."
Hiro scoffs them, "What a bunch of idiots."
Ritsu has already regained himself and he looks worriedly at his cousins. "I hope no one gets hurt."
Damn demented family!
Kyou tries hard to dismiss his petty relatives. Only Yuki notices his distress.
"OK, THAT'S ENOUGH!" Aya commands and as expected they stop. Who would want to be the first to see Aya's wrath?
"I suggest we stop the singing," Hatori puts in his sincere opinion.
And we all know Aya only listens to Hatori. "SURE, TORI-CHAN!" he beams at his friend. "WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE WE DO NEXT?"
Evidently, the dragon has nothing in mind. He'd rather be in office solving some mysterious disease or something along the lines.
It is Shigure, always Aya's supporter, who answers, "How about Spin the Bottle?"
The only two in the room who is not horrified is obviously Aya and Shigure. "SOUNDS LIKE A WONDERFUL IDEA, GURE-CHAN!" They hug each other again. "JUST LIKE WHAT WE USED TO DO!"
The younger ones' expressions are like what-the-hell and what-did-you-guys-do.
The only one who understands the whole situation without misunderstandings is Hatori. Surely, he is ashamed all the same.
Miraculously, Shigure holds up a bottle. "OH, WOW! YOU'RE PREPARED FOR THIS!" The hearts and kisses around them are threatening to suffocate the poor others.
Shameless...I'm not going to be apart of this! Kyou starts to stomp away, heading towards the door. He regrets though because he didn't run instead. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING, KYOU-KUN!" Aya intercepts him in front of the sliding door.
Shit! Kyou stomps, putting a fist up. "I AM NOT going to stay for this!"
Ayame gives the kitty a glare that is his natural skill of authority. "SAY AGAIN, KYOU-KUN? I'M SURE YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS!"
Kyou backs away. Everyone else looks scared again. Only Hatori and Shigure is slightly unaffected. Even Yuki is a tad intimidated by his brother's display of power, but if this is what it takes to make Kyou stay then by all means.
For some seconds, everything is quiet. Kyou can only focus on the ringing in his ears caused by the man in front of him and he is sure that everyone is feeling the same thing.
Damnit! It's no use! I can't win against him!
Stubbornly enough, Kyou doesn't budge. That is until, Aya transforms again into his cheeky form and drags him back to the others with a huge smile. "COME ON, KYOU-KUN, YOU'LL MISS ALL THE FUN!"
With that, Kyou is convinced that fate is so twisted.
"ALRIGHT THEN!" Aya places his relatives in a circle like little dolls. "GURE-CHAN, WILL YOU EXPLAIN THE RULES FOR US?"
"It'll be my pleasure."
Would you please give me a break?
"It's very simple," Shigure places the empty bottle in the middle of the circle.
I can't believe this! What is this? We're all guys here! Has no one noticed that?
"Spin the bottle, and whoever it points to, you have to come up with a dare or question for that person, so it's kind of like Truth and Dare too," Shigure explains, smiling.
Everyone's expression is this: O.O with a bit of relief especially Kyou. Hatori, of course, already knew this and probably has a lot of experience as well.
"NOW, LET'S BEGIN!" Aya is radiating again.
"Right! You first, Aya," Shigure hands the man the clear bottle.
"NO, NO, YOU DO THE HONORS."
"It would only be right if you start."
"BUT IT'S YOU WHO SUGGESTED IT."
As much as I don't want to play this game I don't want to hear you two babble of something this stupid. Kyou crosses his arms and looks away from the two who are generously handing the bottle back and forth from each other. The others are getting annoyed as well. Yuki tears his attention from his older brother and his cousin to catch a glimpse of an irritated kitten. To him, it's pure delight to see the cat in this uncomfortable and dislike state.
Kyou seizes the rat's gaze and looks back at his rival with distain. Damn Rat. This only serves to make Yuki wish that he was closer to the cat so he could tease the other even further.
"Will you two stop it already?"
The two fondling men stop. It's a seriously incredible miracle that Hatori is the balance in their relationship.
"Right! Ha-chan, you start," Shigure hands his other best friend the bottle.
Hatori sighs with exhausted amazement. "Fine." He takes the glass and spins it.
Everyone watches as the clear thing goes around and around, each anticipating. This is possibly what makes it better than just Truth or Dare; the anxiety.
Kyou tries not to be too interested in the round spinning object, but it was out of curiosity that his eyes will not remove themselves. (What's with curiosity and cats?)
And as it gets slower and slower, the anxiety throughout the circle increases. It finally stops at Aya. The snake is dramatically surprised but he is still in his cheerful form.
Hatori looks tired as he conjures up something to ask his childhood friend. It's not easy when you've played this so many times that he just ran out of things to ask even out of necessity. But finally, "Aya, why don't you tell these young ones about your first date?"
There's a slight giggle from Shigure sitting next to Aya who jumps from his seat. "TORI-CHAN! YOU ARE SO CRUEL!" He covers his face with his hands, crying dramatically. "I SHALL NOT HAVE TO BRING THAT UP!"
"But it is you who want to play this game, and you should follow your own rules, my friend," Hatori says cunningly.
Wow, he's good...
"SO CRUEL!" Aya lays his head on Shigure's shoulder. "GURE-CHAN!"
"Come now..." Shigure coos his cousin while still grinning at a forgotten memory of the said occasion.
"NO. NO. THE ICE CREAM. THE WIG. THE COFFEE. THE GLASSES. THE RIPPED PANTS. DON'T STEP ON GRASS...blah blah blah..."
Right now, Aya is just ranting about stuff only he and his two friends know of while the other six are completely lost. Ritsu looks worried with confusion. Hiro looks like he is about to call some help. Momiji looks completely adorable still even though he has no idea what is going on. Haru is somewhat agitated, the black Haru almost threatening to come out due to his lack of patience with the situation. Yuki appears mystified yet again at his brother's behavior. And Kyou, Kyou well is looking at them in a very dumb and stiff expression. No one knows what is happening as it is happening.
And when that is finally finished, the game continues but not without Aya's pitching into everything. He and Shigure are practically ruling the game. This goes on for quite a while until it is time that they stop on account that Tohru has finished preparing their dinner together. They eat with much, much more noise and pain than before, this all accredited to Aya.
But finally, when there is nothing Kyou can be held back for, the cat is free to be alone in his room. He takes the chance wisely after eating, saying he is tired. However, he only gets about three minutes alone when someone knocks on the door and before he has the chance to yell the hell out of the person who dares to disturb him now, the door is opened and he is thrown onto the bed. What the hell?
The neko struggles at the weight on top of him. Unfortunately for him, he is in the same position as he was some days before. Damn him! "Get off of me now!" he growls commandingly.
But certainly, the Prince does not agree with what the other wants. "I don't think I want that."
"The hell I care what you want!" Kyou tries to move his arms but only gets them pinned to the bed. Why can't I beat him?
"I'm sure you don't, but I know what you want," Yuki comments in a knowing smile.
"The hell you do!" the neko tries hard to push the other body away from his, fighting with his own body. But it doesn't take him long to realize that if he moves he will only be touching the other boy even more. He stops. "Get off me!" he says again, knowing that it will not work but that is the only thing he could say.
"Now, I know you don't want that." Yuki presses his own body against Kyou's, the heat of both their flesh penetrating through their clothing. The Prince finds something hard against his knee. Grinning, he rubs against it more. Kyou let's out a suppressed moan. The mouse can see clearly the change in the other's facial expression, the defiance gone for the moment, defeated. He does it again, intrigued and wondering what other faces might the neko make. But this time, he can see that Kyou is trying to change his expression, denying what is natural to him. Yet, this face is even better than the other. "Fight me," Yuki purrs softly while rocking his body to stimulate Kyou's struggling form. He then presses his lips on the cat's neck that is exposed while Kyou tries to control himself.
Stop it! Damn rat, stop! Ah!
The battle between his body and his mind is intense as Yuki starts to remove articles of clothing and flesh meets flesh. Kyou's body burns. He can't help writhing. "Stop..." he manages weakly. But surprisingly, it works!
Yuki stops but he is still on top of the cat. "I want a kiss."
"What?" Kyou asks, confused, disbelieving.
"I'll stop if you kiss me," the Prince offers tactfully.
Hell! No! I won't!
Yuki smiles, leaning forward, closer to Kyou than he already is. "Well?"
You'll regret this! You'll regret this! Don't do it! But I want him to stop, don't I? Yes! Of course I do!
Kyou closes his eyes and stretches his neck up. His lips catch something soft and smooth. It presses him down. Something wet crosses his lips and forces them apart. Yuki's tongue finds Kyou's unwilling one, but it makes no difference to the Prince.
When it stops, Kyou realizes just how tense his body was, his fists clenching. He watches as the mouse lifts himself up and stands, he perfectly composed while the cat knew he himself is disheveled. You damn damn damn mouse!
Yuki grants one last comment and smile before he leaves the room. "You need to work on that a little more."
Kyou grabs a pillow and aims at the door in which the other has already left. Shut the hell up! You damn fucking tease!
The neko would have liked to scream, and his desire is heightened when he notices that he is still hard. But he doesn't allow himself to. That will only let Yuki know how he has succeeded to mess Kyou up. But it is the truth...Yuki won again...
Now, there's my hard work. I won't be uploading for a while due to my vacation to China. Ja, but feel free to tell me if there's any ideas you have for this story. I know I made Aya the life of the party here. But hey! He is the life of 'my party'. I love Aya so much and he is just the one to take charge. You know it started out as a birthday but then I changed my mind because then everyone will have to be there, including the girls which I have, sorry, no interest to write about. - This took me such a long long long time too...
