Who: Ritsuka no_no_badtouch and Haru skater_lynx
Where Outside at the venders
When: After the Alice Event 8/19/09
Rating: PG-13 (Haru's a whore~)
Summary: Ritsuka is looking for a special thing for Soubi. He runs into someone he doesn't like. They don't like him either.


the Story:

Ritsuka was standing at one of the vendor stalls looking at a strange assortment of men's rings. They all seemed too ... big. Too clunkey to be something that would be right for the person he was buying for, not to mention he wasn't sure what the vender was going to ask for it. He was doing his best to play th whole situation off as something even and boring, but inside he was a nervous wreck. He'd never done something like this. Never made such an overt gesture of affection to someone who wasn't Seimei.

Everything he'd said to Soubi the night of their fight had been true. They were things that he'd felt since their relationship had changed, but they were also things that he felt were private and didn't need to be expressed. Apparently he was wrong. Sometimes he forgot how feagile Soubi could be, how apt he was to see the worst in himself rather then anything else. To Ritsuka Soubi was a good person. He was kind and loving, pushy, but still giving. It wasn't something he wanted to tell anyone about, but that didn't mean he didn't feel that way all the same.

He picked up a silver band that looked as if it had a bit of an ornate design on it. It seemed simple, but in it's simplicity it was elegant. It reminded him of Soubi.

"My mistake~"

Haru smiled a little amused by how the boy held the ring. Perhaps it was time to call it a day. Already the quarter was feeling better about himself and Ritsuka didn't seem have the same intensity he had a moment earlier.... However Haru couldn't just leave things alone.

"I've been meaning to ask you who's Seimei?"

[no_no_badtouch]

His grip around the ring tightened, causing his knuckles to grow white. Seimei. That boy shouldn't be saying his brother's name like that. Soubi was his friend. He'd take whatever he said about Seimei without reaction, but he didn't know Seimei. He shouldn't be talking about Seimei. "None of your business." His words here almost a hiss. Threatening the other to keep talking.

Now this is was fun moment. The quarter licked his lips unable to resist pushing forward. Curiosity might kill a cat but would it kill a lynx?

"Aww~ Did I hit a tender cord? Well how am I suppose to know unless you tell me? Would you prefer if I ask Soubi? I'm sure he would know why. Did you even tell him what happened? Or is this 'our little secret'?"

[no_no_badtouch]

Ritsuka's eyes turned cold and dangerous. There was an element of his brother in him that showed itself in the form of possessive and protectiveness. Posessiveness of the two people who meant the world to him. "He wouldn't tell you."

Ritsuka had nothing to hide from Haru's threat. Soubi knew about what had happened in the Mansion of Sleep. He knew that Ritsuka had been chasing after Seimei and he knew why. Haru couldn't get his way with threats like that.

Haru shrugged. He had been threatened before and it only made Ritsuka more interesting for all effort.

"What a shame~ I guess." The quarter leaned down close to the younger boy's face. "I almost wish my son was as cute you~"

Haru reached for the ring in Ritsuka's hand. "So! Are you going to buy that or just stare at it forever?"

[no_no_badtouch]

The boy's hand curled tighter around the ring. This one he'd decided to buy. He wasn't going to let the other boy take it from him. "Why are you really here?" he didn't look away or anything. He kept staring straight ahead, unafraid of the other.

Well telling the truth didn't do him any good. Especially when it came to Fire Candy.

"I sensed you were near and knew it was very important for me to come out and bother you. I think we're connected somehow~"

Obvious sarcasm was obvious.

[no_no_badtouch]

"That's a dumb lie." Ritsuka didn't like liars. People lied to him enough already.

"I thought you were a smart kid. I didn't think you were that smart." Haru rolled his eyes and stood up. "Hmmm. Well, I have no reason to tell you that now do I?"

[no_no_badtouch]

"You stole the ring I was going to buy." His words were flat and factual. He didn't really care what the other was doing, but if he was going to be insulted he'd rise to the challenge.

[skater-lynx.livejournal.com]

"Yep. It'll be a nice item to remember you two by don't you think?" The quarter shrugged. "Anything else you'd like to tell me?"

[no_no_badtouch]

"I'm sure you have somewhere else you need to be instead of stalling here." He turned around, ignoring the other again.

[skater-lynx.livejournal.com]

"Actually~ Not really. It can wait. It's not like there's much to do around here."

[no_no_badtouch]

Ritsuka continued to ignore the other. It was better to do that then to feed into his annoying.

[skater-lynx.livejournal.com]

Well with that Haru was bored. He paid for the ring he had managed to steal from Ritsuka and headed back towards the mansions. It was of course too chancy to buy the Fire Candy now..

[no_no_badtouch]

Ritsuka watched the other go out of the corner of his eye. Good. He noticed that he was walking away from the kiosks. Part of him was satisfied that whatever the boy wanted he wasn't going to get, while Ritsuka managed to get exactly the ring he'd wanted. He'd even managed to keep it from being dirtied by that boy.

He talked with the kiosk owner for a few moments before handing over a small and battered camera. It was his camera from home. Onec his deal was done he pocketed the box with the ring in it. He'd have to find a time to give it to Soubi.
