Who: Seimei Aoyagi two_in_eden  and Hibari Kyouka hi_blog 
Where Tam's Clinic (Fourth Floor) to Seimei's room (8th Floor)
When: July 20th Afternoon
Rating: PG for possible cursing
Summary: Having their normal routine canceled due to random mischief, Hibari and Seimei change location and have a date.
the Story: Seimei looks up at the light fixture as it blinks on and off caused by something that he's not quite sure what is the cause of it. However whatever has done it. It is unsettling and a bit annoying. It might be time to move location if only to see if this is a minor thing, the problem of course might be convincing Hibari to come. Seimei puts down his book of plays.

"Let's have a date Kyouya."

"I'm guessing whatever you saw would ruin my appetite. But I won't advise you in either direction. I don't play match maker; I'm not interested in the affairs of other people." Hibari happily munches on his food.

"I don't really want your advice, I just wanted to know what she was like. Ritsuka doesn't need more complications. I think she's a positive influence. It's been forever since he's been a child, a real child not one...who's been.." He struggles to think of a word to describe the Aoyagi household. "disturbed."

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

"Then she's nice and well liked by most of my students. Just never forget who she's related to." Hibari doesn't even want to picture Ritsuka and Kyoko together. Somehow that just makes Ritsuka seem closer.

"Things have been better between Ryohei and myself. I think the family event cleared some of the air between us. That and the medication makes some things more tolerable."

He shudders a little as he remembers the phlegm incident.

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

....

"You and Ryohei get along now? What exactly did you do during the family event?"

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

There's a very long pause as he tries to figure out what he means. The the ears go back and his eyes are very wide.

"Hibari. It's not like that. You were the only person I touched during that whole event. I talked to Ryohei about the fact that I didn't like him and I tried to teach him how to make origami kangaroos."

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

"... Nn."

He's not sure which of those two is luckier that that's the extent of it.

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

"My eyes are on you Kyouya. I don't want your friend. He's far too..extreme."

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

"Nn... Events make people do crazy things." He pokes around at his food. "At least there is no animosity."

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

"I keep my word when I can." Seimei watches him. "Have you lost your taste for my food?"

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

Hibari shrugs and eats some more. "It's good. My mouth just gets tired of chewing it."

Truth? Aversion? Who knows.

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

"I'll take that into consideration next time. I've been meaning to ask you something that I've realized recently."

Seimei picks up his tea and takes a sip.

"Will you go out with me Kyouya?"

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

Hibari shrugged. "I'm out with you right now."

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

He makes a face and the ears are flattened. "You know what I meant."

Seimei sighs.

"I want to try again. I'm sure now more than ever. During the last event I spent my time trying to find you. I felt that it was my place to be there beside you when I found you. If someone asked me out today I wouldn't be able to accept because I would say that I have someone. There's no point in pretending it's not defined as such anymore. The same rules are in effect."

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

Hibari sat still for a minute then crossed his arms over his chest. "On the condition that things stay the same, I'll accept. I don't want to move back in together and I want as few people to know as possible. I just happen to agree that... our actions and intentions have been as thought we were together so it's reasonable to accept it."

He looked off to the side, looking perhaps as though he were searching for something to say that wasn't akin to a business venture rather than romantic interest. Instead he came back with, "And don't forget: you mess up on that scale again, I will kill you."

Somewhere between the lines there was an admission of affection but it would take a keen Hibari observer to track the thoughts that brought about the defensiveness.

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

"I haven't forgotten, Kyouya. I accept the terms of the title and the responsibility that comes with it."

Seimei smiles. Oh yes he's teasing you a little Hibari. The sacrifice can see Hibari's inner emotion far clear than he might have in the past.

The sacrifice leans over and tries placing a kiss on Hibari's forehead. Of course if the other reacts badly he will understand, that he may be pushing his luck a bit.

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

Hibari scowls slightly with the teasing but doesn't bat an eye at the kiss.

"Can I make an amendment for catering?"

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

"You'll have to bring it up with the committee which only meets every Thursday from 1 pm to 1:01 pm."

Seimei looks down and grabs Dorine before she can steal a snack. She hisses at him and struggles to get away a bit.

"Keep it up and I'm sticking you in the ball. This isn't good for you."

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

Hibari smirked and went back to his food. "That's why she ends up in your shoes."

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

He makes a face at Hibari.

"The only reason I put her in a ball is to keep her from the various pets in the mansion. She's walking meal with quills."

Seimei sets Dorine on his knee and tries to pet her. It's a marvel to him that he likes this little animal. She's self willed, disobedient, and if she hadn't been a gift from Ritsuka he wasn't sure if he would have kept her.

"It was a joke....Kind of."

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

Hibari shrugs. "Anyone who wants a piece of her will have a hard enough time. She's fine."

He finishes his mean and stretches out. "So. What do you make of the current situation?"

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

"I hope so. I don't want to loose her. Perhaps I should put you in a ball as well."

Seimei shrugs.

"I'm not entirely sure. The Queen has never been a personal focus of mine. The Major is a far larger concern. The only person I knew from those she punished was Jack."

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

"Put me in a ball and I'll bite you to death."

Hibari watches as Boushi pecks at his leftovers. Yeah, go ahead.

"None of the names really stuck out to me. I'm really not impressed with her skills in discipline."

Yeah, someone doesn't know the names of his victims.

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

"As if you would stay in it."

Seimei stares at Hibari. "Jack is one of the men you disciplined. The one with the wrench. He's actually a good person which is rather unfortunate."

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

"Oh. That Jack." He shrugs. Doesn't make too much of a difference. "Either way, I'm disappointed. Finally get to see the woman responsible for all this and she's.. tame."

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

"She is but perhaps there's a way to make her power someone else's. Assuming that we want her power of course."

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

"I don't care. I just want to be left alone by these things."

He looks at the ceiling. "Seimei. Does this make you happy?"

[two-in-eden.livejournal.com]

"It'll go away just like everything else. If it doesn't well learn to ignore it. The only permanent thing that's ever happened are the chess board hills."

The sacrifice watches him.

"It makes me happy. I had forgotten what it meant to be content. You remind me of things I lost and things I never thought would be mine. It would be easier if I could live without you. I love you."

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

Hibari smiles a little. He likes to hear it.

"Good."
