Warning: This story is YAOI, and if you don’t like it
than I suggest reading another fic. Also, the main paring will be Yusuke and
Kuwabara it’s just taking a while. Prepare yourselves your major character
OOCness, and there may be some offensive language. Lastly, I am terrible at
grammar and spelling so try to over look the mistakes.
Chapter Nine
By nature Yusuke Urameshi was a suspicious man, some might
have even called him paranoid, but in the end of every doubt Yusuke Urameshi
was always proven right. When he was a
boy he knew every winter Kurama would be the first child in his family to be
sick. After Hiei and Keiko had gotten
married Yusuke knew that after a year of marriage they would expect a
baby. And Yusuke knew it was only a
matter of time before Yukina ended up in the same family way as Keiko.
his doorstep he knew something must have been wrong.
When something was wrong with Kuwabara, Yusuke knew it was
only a matter of time before something was wrong with him.
it and he tried his hardest to stall Kuwabara, if he distracted Kuwabara long
enough eventually he would forget, and the world of Yusuke would remain
untilted. Unfortunately his best friend
seemed to be determined, that not even pancakes would distract him.
sort, when Kuwabara threw the words “life changing” he couldn’t help but freeze
up. Kuwabara wasn’t known for being
overly dramatic so when he said something was going to be life alternating he
knew to believe. And so Yusuke Urameshi
had prepared himself for the worst.
“Life changing huh?
Well it must be good, so spit it out.” Yusuke hurried out.
“When you say good, it can be, I
guess. It’s just really important that I
have to tell you.
was scared. And you know me Urameshi I’d
rather jump off a bridge before admitting I was afraid of anything.”
“Right I know that.” Yusuke was starting to get a little
more uneasy, his restless feet was proof enough.
“Yeah well…you’re my best friend. If it wasn’t for you I’d
probably still be a mute orphan or something.”
“Yeah right. We both know your big mouth could never stay
shut.” Yusuke tried to joke one of his most famous defense mechanisms when
feeling uncomfortable.
“Don’t interrupt me Urameshi or I’ll chicken out. I just
want to let you know that ever since we were kids you’ve been a big part of my
life. We’re like brothers and I really
appreciate that connection. So I hope
that whatever happens we can please keep it like that. Because I’m not going to
make you make any promises. I hate when people do that and I won’t become a
hypocrite right now.”
“Damn Kuwabara just spit it out. You’re making me all
anxious.”
“Right I forgot. Okay
remember some weeks back I had a meeting with a guy named Sensui?”
“Sensui? Tall guy with millions of wrinkles? I remember the
ass.” How could he not remember him, just mentioning his name still got
Yusuke’s blood boiling.
“He doesn’t have wrinkles, Urameshi. He’s only twenty six.”
“Whatever. What about him? He do something to you, he need
to be taken care of or something?” He could only hope he did, Yusuke would love
an excuse to pummel the guy. There was
just something about him that pissed Yusuke off.
“He didn’t do anything wroth fighting over.
dates with girls than I do?”
“That’s cuz you’re picky. I tried hooking you up with Botan
before she started to date Koenma, but you ditched out.”
“Urameshi I am picky, but not about what girl I want to
date, it’s more like what person I
want to date. You get me?”
“What, you want to date two girls? Damn Kuwabara I didn’t
know you had it in you.” And here he thought Kuwabara was going to change the
world according to Yusuke.
“Damn it Yusuke! Listen to the fuckin’ context clues would
ya? I said person damit! As in
change in gender, as in not girls but boys! Men to be more specific!”
Yusuke could only look at his friend in shock as the red
head jumped out of his seat turning redder with each exclamation, turning pale
as soon as he was finished. While
Kuwabara made himself clear Yusuke couldn’t wrap his mind around it.
that would mean he was gay. There was no
way Kuwabara was gay that’s the kind of thing one notices about their best
friend. Besides Kuwabara wasn’t all limp
wrested and high voiced, he was Kuwabara and definitely not gay.
“Sure you are, gay I mean.
Hell I’m gay too and I’m pretty sure Hiei is maybe even Father
Peacock. Fuck you’re so full of shit
Kuwabara. Gay yeah right. Now that
that’s out of your system I’ll make breakfast than we’ll go out to do
something. I got the day off and I feel
like we haven’t done something in weeks.
Sides my birthday’s coming up, the big one nine, and I need to tell you
what to get me.”
When Yusuke looked at his best friend he had to keep himself
from apologizing. The look on Kuwabara’s
face was one of anguish and disbelief but Yusuke couldn’t believe Kuwabara was
serious.
“Urameshi you can’t be serious.
“C’mon Kuwabara you
don’t expect me to believe that? I’ve
known you for a long time, I would know if your gay and you’re not, so stop
messing around.”
“Yeah you’ve know me that’s why I expect you to believe me
when I’m telling you the truth. I don’t lie so you know I’m not lying about
this. I’m fuckin’ serious and you go
into denial. Look I’m gay, I have been
for a long time and I’m never not going to be gay.
everybody’s expecting you to be at my house tonight. If you got some questions
ask one of your brothers cause to tell you the truth I don’t want to be near
you right now.”
The tone that Kuwabara addressed him with was well known but
was not well used. Kuwabara only talked
to someone in a calm whispered manner when he was extremely hurt and pissed,
and knowing he was the cause of Kuwabara’s mood made Yusuke feel like a
traitor.
“Kuwabara wait a minute.”
“No. Just leave me alone for right now Urameshi.
I already spent too much time here. I’ll see ya.”
There really wasn’t anything he could do but watch his best
friend leave him a lone in the kitchen.
Yusuke knew he screwed up but he didn’t know how to fix it. Well he did
know how to fix it but he wasn’t sure he wanted to.
if he apologized than that meant admitting Kuwabara was gay and he couldn’t
be. If Kuwabara was gay it meant
acknowledging things, like the hope in his heart and the anger over Kuwabara’s
first attempt at conversation. He didn’t
want to think about what Sensui had to do with Kuwabara, because in the end Kuwabara
was still he’s best friend, his brother and there was no way he was going to
let Sensui into their lives.
A/N: Just a little note I changed Sensui’s age in chapter
three from twenty-three to twenty-six for two reasons. Someone motioned his
true age in a review and also because I think it fits the characters a bit
more. I like the drama.
