[Tsu Ryu]

Tsu walked around his college looking around before his next class started. He was in all honor classes for the his first year at college. In his mind it was just another day at school...every class seemed to bore him. Maybe he was too smart for his own good? He wasn't sure though he was a shy and polite person no one at his school ever really knew about his hard childhood. Though it was his first year at college he already seemed to be the school model. He just continued to walk down the halls as if he was looking for something.

"Hey, Tsu-chan!" His older sister yelled to him waving. Tsu turned around to see his sister; Eliza running towards him. "Hello, Eliza," He said politly to her stopping to wait for her. Eliza finally cought up to Tsu and gave him a sisterly hug. "Dear brother I need some help with homework," She said lightly to him still hugging him. "Yeah, yeah later today." Tsu said gently removing his sister's arms. "Oh by the was Cliffy-chan needs help too." She said happily to her younger brother. "Okay later," He said as he started to walk away from her, waving as he left.

'Man sometimes she's just annoying. Ugg this is really annoying me, to be pretty smart.' He though as he continued to walk. He never really payed attation to anyone around him, he didn't even know any of the students at his school other then his sister and brother. He heard the bell ring for the next class to began or at least for people to go to class. He sat down beside the wall and watched everyone walk by him as if he wasn't even there. 'Good thing no one other then my brother and sister know I'm smart, He sighed lightly still watching the people walk by. It felt like someone was standing over him but it never bothered him before...it could have been his brother or his sister again.

[ritsuka]

Though most people didn’t know this, Ritsuka was the type to panic easily. When he was caught in a situation he didn’t understand or felt threatened, he panicked. Of course, the boy’s panic was different from everyone else’s. Instead of freaking out and mumbling random things, Ritsuka swore and snapped at anyone that passed by. So far, this hadn’t turned out to be a good day at all. To begin, this fifteen year old Zercan had never been a morning person. In fact, he hated morning people or anyone else that thought morning started before noon. The teen liked his sleep and waking to the sound of something exploding was never a good way to start the day. Ritsuka Taichibana was a scrawny boy standing at 5”8. He had one green eye and one blue eye, which was odd since he was the only one in the family with this combination. He had short black hair and pale skin that came from never going on into the sun for more than ten minutes at a time. The boy looked every one of his fifteen years and sometimes seemed intimidating because of his angry scowl and menacing glare. Right now, the boy was going to kick someone’s ass because no one disturbed him from his sleep. The boy reached into the closet and pulled out a change of clothes. He quickly changed into a black T-shirt a pair of jeans. There hadn’t even been any time to put on some make-up or properly fix his hair. The boy slipped on his combat boots and was about to leave the room when his door was suddenly opened.

Ritsuka was startled for a second until he noted that it was only his cousin Rei, a nineteen year old male with dark brown hair and green eyes and while he usually looked calm and collected, the man before him was panicked and scared. The black haired boy was about to ask what was wrong when he was suddenly pulled forward as his cousin grabbed him by the wrist. Ritsuka was dragged out of the room and only managed to grab his backpack before the door closed behind him. Rei was muttered curses as they ran down the hall and as more panicked people ran around the ship, the teen became more and more worried. He didn’t even get to ask what was wrong and his cousin’s expression told him he probably didn’t want to know anyway. More people ran down the halls and soon, the teen found himself shoved into a smaller ship. It was becoming obvious what was going on. The ship was being evacuated and everyone was getting away as soon as possible. The reason for this was still unknown to the younger boy, but he hoped he could figure this all out soon. He groaned as he saw what the closest planet was. His day had gotten from bad to worse.

Out of all the planets he wanted to see, Earth was not on the list. He’d heard nothing but bad things on the list and knew the situation was bad if Rei was considering landing there. Ritsuka gave a yelp as something hit the side of their ship, sending them crashing towards the savage planet. Well, he certainly hadn’t seen that coming. The boy took a seat and secured his seatbelt. He kept his eyes closed as Rei steered the ship and tried to keep them from dying. The whole ship rattled and Ritsuka was getting dizzy. That’s when everything shook violently and the boy heard the sound of metal being scrapped. He blinked when he noted the ship had stopped moving and noted they had crashed into the ground. Of course, no one had seen the ship since it had been cloaked he had was glad for that because it wouldn’t have been good if the natives had seen them. He looked over at his cousin who only sighed in relief and took off his seatbelt. Ritsuka followed the other when he got out of the ship and wondered what they should do next.

“We were attacked,” Rei said simply.

“No shit,” growled Ritsuka. “I couldn’t tell by the firing or the way the way our ship went down. What do we do now dumbass? We’re in the middle of nowhere in a planet full of hostile beings!”

“I doubt there’s anything more hostile than you…” muttered Rei under his breath.

“What was that?!” Snapped Ritsuka.

“Let’s move,” muttered Rei as he started to walk.

“Fucking prick…” Ritsuka grumbled as he trailed behind the other in hopes of getting home soon.

[Tsu Ryu]

Tsu stood up after a minute or two as everyone went into their classes. Of course none of teachers cared if he was late since he was their favorite student out of everyone. Tsu thought he heard a faint boom in the distance but of course it was probably something he just thought up in his head to get away from reality for a while. He walked to his next class, slowly grabbing his books on his way. There were always a reason someone hated him but he never really knew any of them.

Around lunch time he decided to go for a walk hoping to find out if what he heard was real or not. He moved some of his red bangs out of his green eyes as he walked. Even though Tsu's hair was short, his bangs were still pretty long, long enough to get in his eyes anyways. He stopped by the tennis courts just to see if anyone was playing, but with his luck like aways no one was there. He stopped for a moment and sat down just to look around at everyone that passed him by. Tsu never really go much privitcy at home because of his older brother and sister bugging him all the time to do their homework for them. He enjoyed just sitting alone with out anyone bothering him but of course those moments never last forever.

[ritsuka]

It seemed like the more he walked, the angrier Ritsuka became. He hated not knowing things and he knew his cousin was hiding things from him on purpose. It wasn’t like he was a child! He was already fifteen and worked on a trading vessel, which was much more than most people did at his age. Why did he still get treated as though he were a five year old?! Ritsuka glared at the man walking in front of him and wondered if they were every getting home. This planet was known for having hostile life forms and was avoided by most people. Not only that but the planet itself was polluted and pretty much poisoned. Everything about the place made Ritsuka want to gag and it didn’t help that the place they were in stunk. It was some sort of forest but there weren’t that many wild animals around. Most of the things he saw were small animals like rabbits or squirrels, nothing worth seeing. Ritsuka muttered curses he was sure Rei could hear as he continued to walk behind the other. The bag he was carrying wasn’t heavy, which meant it didn’t have much in it and wouldn’t really help them. Eventually, the forest turned into a park. Rei had been hesitant to continue, but moved on anyway. Ritsuka didn’t like what he saw. There were humans everywhere. With their round pupils and loud voices, they scared the teen slightly.

It was a stroke of luck that the people didn’t spare them a second glance and continued to chat with one another. Their clothes seemed to blend in quite nicely and that was something else to be grateful for. Ritsuka was simply wearing a T-shirt and jeans as well as combat boots. All his clothes consisted of only black, of course. Rei was wearing a navy blue dress shirt and black dress pants with a pair of sneakers. The two averted everyone’s gaze and continued to walk away from the crash site. Their communicators weren’t working at the moment and they’d have to lie low until they fixed them and were able to contact the rest of the crew. Ritsuka picked up the pace and latched onto his cousin’s arm. It wouldn’t do good to split up now or cause problems. The boy walked past a strange looking place and stopped in his tracks. The ground was green and there was a net running across it. Lines were all over the floor and there was a discarded green ball on the ground.

Ritsuka went over and picked up the ball. He turned it over in his hands and stared at it for a moment. It was kind of soft, yet hard at the same time. The boy wondered what it was for. Obviously it was some sort of game, but he didn’t know what sort of game or the rules to it. He suddenly felt someone grab the beck of his shirt and glared up at his furious cousin. Rei could get dramatic over the smallest things. The man didn’t look happy that he’d wandered off and seemed pissed at the moment. Even though Ritsuka knew he shouldn’t cause a scene, he couldn’t help it. Besides, he could take on any human that tried anything.

“Dammit! LET GO REI!” Shouted the black haired boy.

“Shut it! Let’s go! Now!” Demanded Rei as he began to drag away his struggling cousin.

[Tsu Ryu]

Tsu stared at the ground for quite awhile. Most things never really bothered him...well at least that's what he thought. He glaced over a bit to see two people he'd never seen before. May be they were new around town? It wasn't like him to ponder on such an obvious question. He stared quietly at the black haired boy, who had picked up a tennis ball that had been laying on the ground most likely from an earlier game. Tsu wanted to ask the boy if he had ever played tennis before but it seemed pretty obvious the boy had no idea what he was looking at to begin with. He turned back around taking his green eyes off the boy.

Although not a few minutes later and he was looking back in that direction. He noticed someone dragging the black haired teen away from the tennis courts. "Umm...hey if he wants to stay there...I think you should let him," Tsu said unsure of what the hell he was getting himself into. Okay maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to do but he wanted to try and help the boy. He stood up staring at them for a moment hoping they weren't going to decide to beat him up since he butted into what was happening between them. Tsu fell into a long silence waiting for the worst to happen which seemed like it would be coming soon to him.

[ritsuka]

“This isn’t your concern,” snapped Rei. “Stay out of things that aren’t your concern. Let’s go Ritsuka. Move it. Now. I’ve had enough of your childishness. Don’t run off like that moron.”

Rei didn’t like being told what to do. The guy didn’t take well to suggestions or even advice. Everyone had learned early on that the man was someone you didn’t want to piss off. Now, the man wasn’t violent by nature, but he wouldn’t mind kicking ass if he got pissed off. You never knew what set the guy off, so no one ever tried anything with the guy. Ritsuka was the same way sometimes. Both of them were fickle people and you never knew what to expect out of them. Out of the two, Ritsuka had to be the most complex. There were so many sides to the boy and not only that, no one actually knew him that well. Even though Ritsuka had been working on Rei’s ship for a while, no one had ever really taken the time to get to know him. The boy had never been one to have lots of friends or go out to places in groups. The boy pretty much avoided everyone and had always remained friendless. This had branded him as antisocial and not someone worth talking to unless you wanted to be insulted. This suited Ritsuka just fine since he didn’t like to be around people anyway. The black haired boy growled as he was dragged away from the tennis court. The boy wasn’t used to being manhandled like this since Rei and the crew usually left him alone for the most part.

He wasn’t used to being disciplined and most of the time; he could do what he wanted. The boy looked up at the stranger to snap at him, but froze when he got a better look of the other. A blush spread across his face and he couldn’t find words to speak. This man was the most beautiful person he’d ever seen. The boy found that he couldn’t take his eyes off the other and that his cheeks just reddened more and more as time passed. He knew he should say something. If he didn’t say anything now, he’d just continue to look like a fool, but somehow, he couldn’t stop staring silently at the other. It was like he couldn’t look away and even though he knew the man would want to know what he was staring at, the boy couldn’t make himself care whether the stranger knew he was staring or not.

“Hell no!” Snapped Rei.

“Eh? What?” Asked a confused Ritsuka, having no clue as to why his cousin had just yelled. “I didn’t do anything!”

“Stop staring! Out of everyone in this universe, why this human? No. I forbid it!”

“Shut up Rei! I…he…you can’t just…”

“We’re out of here!” Yelled Rei as he began to drag his cousin again once more.

[Tsu Ryu]

Tsu backed down a bit at the sound of the older man’s angry voice. Sure it wasn’t any of his concern but he wanted to help the younger teen out no matter what the cost. To him the other seemed like the most beautiful person he’d ever laid eyes on…but really what could he have been getting himself into? It really wasn’t like him to get in the way of someone else’s problems but there was just something about the teen, which he’d never seen before that drew him to want to help him. It seemed to bother Tsu that he couldn’t help to other with out getting hurt by the older man, who was pulling the younger teen away. He blushed a bit looking at the younger teen slightly trying not to get caught by the older man.

Tsu really wanted to say something to the younger teen but couldn’t think of what to say to him. He stared off with a blank look on his face knowing that sooner or later he was going to get yelled at by the man again. The red head just looked still afraid he’d get caught. Though for a brief moment he heard the younger teen snap at him…but that was all he heard come out of the other’s mouth. Tsu was completely confused on why he would snap at him one moment then not do anything the next. Maybe he should have said something to try to stop the older man from taking the younger teen away from him. Of course he was still afraid that if he did anything else he’d get the man so pissed off that he would attack him. After a moment or two he heard the man snap at the younger teen about looking at him.

“What…” Tsu questioned lightly still look at them. “I…there’s nothing wrong with me!” he hesitated for a while.

Tsu was completely confused on why he used the term ‘this human’. Really weren’t they human as well? It all very much confused him he desperately tried to understand what the man was talking about. “I’m telling you should let him stay, I don’t care if you have to kill me, or persuade me for a while just to kill, and I will not let you hurt him.” Tsu said angrily to the man, of course he just realized he had just got himself into deep shit with what whole sentence, so he covered him mouth trying to pretend he didn’t say a word.

[ritsuka]

Rei was annoyed with the human male. When he looked the man over, he noted that the other’s appearance wasn’t so special. He really didn’t see what Ritsuka liked about the guy. There were better mates on Zerca or even on another planet. The man didn’t think he could deal with a dumb human aboard his ship. It was one thing to see one on this planet and quite another to have one mate with his little cousin. Rei wasn’t stupid. He knew what it meant to be someone’s mate and that such a thing could not be changed. A person’s mate was the most important thing and separating his cousin from this man would be cruel. Now that he’d met his mate, Ritsuka would instantly want to be with that man. The boy was acting like a lovesick puppy and Rei didn’t like it. He wasn’t used to seeing his cousin act like this. In fact, he had always figured Ritsuka would die of old age or marry someone to argue with. The boy just hadn’t seemed like the type to like committing to others, not because he had issues with it, but because he always seemed like he hated being around others. The kid was antisocial and pretty much liked to run his mouth. All of a sudden, Rei felt pity for the clueless human. The guy was going to spend the rest of his life with Ritsuka, which meant…FREEDOM! That’s right; he could dump Ritsuka on this poor unsuspecting guy! When the kid got to bitchy or annoying, he’d just send him to the human. It was the perfect plan!

Of course, it wasn’t like Rei was going to leave Ritsuka here on Earth or anything. Leaving his cousin on his hostile planet would be cruel, even by his standards. He’d have to figure out a way off this planet with Ritsuka and his mate. The guy was practically a babysitter now. Even though Ritsuka wasn’t a child, he could be annoying like one. Since this was going to be the guy’s mate, perhaps it was best to let the guy get used to being around Ritsuka. Even though they were now mates, they knew nothing about each other. Not only that but the guy had to claim… Wait a second! The man was going nowhere near Ritsuka’s pants! He’d let them hang out and maybe share a few kisses, but there was no way he was letting the guy take Ritsuka’s virginity. Rei knew the urge to do so would be strong and if Ritsuka remained unclaimed others would challenge his mate for him, but there was no way he was letting his cousin become pregnant at such a young age!

“I will leave you here for an hour,” Rei stated calmly as he set down the younger boy and began to walk away. “You have one hour and nothing more. I’ll be right back, so don’t wander off and don’t let the guy do anything inappropriate and by inappropriate I mean anything that involves touching.”

[Tsu Ryu]

Tsu kept his hand over his mouth as he looked at the two guys in front of him. He most defiantly couldn’t believe he had said though types of things especially with the way he was towards people. Though there was just something about the man the got on his last nerve. Tsu was a bit relieved when the man didn’t beat the shit out of him for saying such things to him. He smiled a bit, but no one could see since his hand was still covering his mouth. He only smiled because the man was going to let the boy stay with him for a while…even though it only be an hour. Tsu was a bit confused, why would he touch the boy inappropriately? Though it didn’t matter just as long as he was able to hang around with the boy and get to know him a little better, well Tsu hoped he would.

After the man had left them alone and told them not to move Tsu looked over at the boy. “So uhh…where to you want to go,” he asked quietly though remembering he didn’t even know the younger teen’s name. “Oh wait a minute how about before we start talking, what’s your name?” he changed his question pretty fast, hoping the boy didn’t hear the first one he asked.

Tsu walked back over to the bench he was sitting at hoping the boy would follow him so that they could talk just little more…even know they really didn’t talk. “So who was that guy, who tried to drag you off,” he asked crossing his legs lightly still keeping eye contact with the boy. All Tsu wanted to do was be friends with the boy, even though he seemed a bit strange. Maybe it was because he had never seen the boy before or maybe it was because he might have fallen in love with him without even knowing him? Tsu wasn’t so sure now a days, always completely lost in what he thought anymore. He dealt with a lot of problems put onto him…like his older brother and sister asking for help with their homework and not having any friends made him feel like a loser. Though more importantly what would his parents, older brother, and sister think if they saw him with another guy? Okay, maybe now wasn’t the time to think about that and continued to look at the boy.

[ritsuka]

Rei was trying to embarrass him, or so Ritsuka thought. The guy kept making weird comments and saying such odd things. The boy didn’t like it at all. He was being made fun of in front of his mate and it made him angry. Of course, he probably already looked like a fool in front of the older boy. For some reason, when he talked to that man, his mouth didn’t seem to work right and he stumbled with what had to say. This was certainly a change from how things usually went. The boy usually didn’t have a nice thing to say about anyone and ended up snapping at others instead of becoming flustered like he was right now. Still, it had been good that the other had left because he felt even dumber with Rei around. The man always pissed him off and he didn’t want to argue in front of this person. Ritsuka knew first impressions were the most important, so he was trying his best to look like a nice person in front of his mate. Ritsuka didn’t like others seeing how flawed he was. He had a bad temper, never thought things through, argued a lot, and most of the time wasn’t listening. Those were just some of the small things he had wrong with him. Ritsuka didn’t want the other to hate him or something right now. He wanted the other to get to know him before he actually chose whether he hated him or not. He already liked the other a lot, but he didn’t know if the other felt the same way and somehow, Ritsuka couldn’t find the nerve to ask him. It should have been easy to ask such a simply question, but it wasn’t.

“I’m Taichibana Ritsuka…” muttered the boy. “W-We can go…wherever you like…it…doesn’t matter…”

He took a seat next to the other and tried not to do anything stupid or clumsy. He didn’t want to look like a moron. Still, though, it felt nice sitting outside like this. Even though he was worried about acting in the wrong way, he was still happy he was outside. He hadn’t been outside in a while and had started to forget what it was like. On some days, he wished he wasn’t on a ship. It passed when he thought of where he’d be if he wasn’t here. Anywhere but home was good enough for Ritsuka. That place was the one place he couldn’t go back to. No matter what, he’d never go back to that house. There weren’t many things this boy was afraid of doing, but going back to that house was one of them. Mostly it was because he was afraid of facing a certain person. But that was something he wasn’t going to tell his mate until much later, if this man accepted him as his mate that is. There was a chance the other would reject him and Ritsuka didn’t like thinking about it. It was quite scary to think about how the other could leave him behind. It was easy to leave someone, even if that person loved you. That’s why Ritsuka was scared the other would leave him, but he smiled at the man and simply answered his question.

“He’s my cousin Rei…” the boy sighed. “We’re looking for some of his friends and that’s why he’s in a hurry. We got lost and we’re trying to fine someone who will help us… This might be a while thought…so don’t worry about it…”

[Tsu Ryu]

Tsu looked at the boy lightly wondering why he was still standing up. He held back a chuckle since the younger teen looked pretty stupid standing there like that. Of course in the older teen’s opinion he found it rather cute. Most people get nervous when people stand in front of them, though he was very much used to people doing that to him. Tsu couldn’t help but not take his eyes off the other standing in front of him.

Tsu heard the boy say what he name was, though he blushed a bit when he heard it. God he had a cute name, just like him. Of course most people wouldn’t think much about a person’s name sounding cute then thinking the person was cute as well. He was glad when the other sat down next to him. He looked over at him with a smile on his face. The older teen moved so of his red hair out of his green eyes just so see Ritsuka. He blushed a bit but then remembered that the younger teen had never asked him for his name.

“Well since you didn’t ask it of me, I feel it’s fair that you should know my name as well and its Amanu Tsuzuku or Tsu for short.” He said with a smile on his face looking at Ritsuka.

He enjoyed being around this boy, though he really didn’t know why. In that moment it got the older teen questioning his own sexuality. Most men on Earth didn’t really attract themselves to other men, but rather to women. Though Tsu wasn’t like most men he seemed to have fallen in love with the boy next to him. He lightly began to caress the younger teen’s cheek but pulled away.

“Heh that’s right the guy you were with said no touching,” Tsu chuckled lightly before bringing his hand back down.

The older teen raised a brow when the other said about the older man being his cousin and then about them looking for their friends and getting lost. Tsu couldn’t see how you could get lost doing that but he didn’t matter, he was glad that he ran into Ritsuka. For some reason the older teen just wanted to hug the boy next to him but remembered that Rei would have cow if he did so. So the older teen just settled for going back to caressing Ritsuka’s cheek with hand.

[ritsuka]

Ritsuka thought the other was being very odd. He looked nervous and shy for some reason, which Ritsuka didn’t understand. All the dominant mates he’d met were aggressive and had had an unbelievable desire to ravish their submissive mate. Ritsuka wasn’t sure whether to be glad or disappointed. Sure he was glad the other hadn’t tried to undress him, but it made him worry that maybe he’d made a mistake. If the other wasn’t all over him, did that mean the man wasn’t really his mate? If the other wasn’t trying anything, did that mean the other wasn’t sexually attracted to him? Had he done something wrong?! Ritsuka knew the other was supposed to at least like him a lot. The other was supposed to be his mate and therefore want him and only him, but then again, Ritsuka had never asked what it felt like to have a mate, so he supposed he could be wrong. It felt like his heart was being crushed or that he was being rejected without the other having to say anything. Ritsuka had never confessed his feelings to anyone before or even shown interest in anyone. He’d always been a reserved type of person and therefore had no idea how he was supposed to go about all this. Somehow, it felt like he had done everything wrong and that he had screwed it all up.

It wasn’t in his nature to worry or care about people. He was the type of person that snapped at people when they came to him with their problems or yelled at those that couldn’t take care of themselves. Sure it was a rude thing to do and he wasn’t that great of a person, but that’s just how he was. He admitted it, he had a terrible personality. It was only around this person that he acted like a moron. That’s why he wanted to get to know the other better. He wanted to know what it was about the other that made his heart beat so fast and his cheeks become stained with red. This had to be love because nothing else could describe the feeling. He wanted to tell his feelings to the other, but he was afraid of hearing the man’s reply. If the other didn’t feel the same way, he’d be crushed. There was a chance the other didn’t feel the same way and right now, Ritsuka wasn’t sure he could risk it. It was odd. He had taken risks his whole life. He’d gambled his life once or twice and even almost died once, but nothing compared to this. It was nerve wrecking to be here next to the other and to be so close and yet so far away from the other.

“Tsu…” repeated the boy. “That’s…a really cute name. Ah! I d-didn’t mean anything weird by it, I just like your name! Don’t take it the wrong way or anything and don’t think I’m some weirdo either! I just…”

It had startled him when the other touched him. He hadn’t expected that but he had liked it anyway. The other had a nice touch and he hadn’t let anyone touch him so gently before. It was weird how the other sent chills down his spine and made his cheeks warm up as though all the blood in his body was rushing to them. He’d been rather disappointed that was all he was able to get out of the other. It all came back to Rei. The man was a nuisance really. He didn’t want this to stop, but he also wasn’t sure if he wanted it to go any further. He was a rather inexperienced person and hadn’t even kissed anyone before, but he wanted to try. Though he had never done anything, he wanted to try. Without a second thought, he leaned forward quickly and pressed his lips against the others. He wasn’t sure if the kiss was any good, but it was his first so it wouldn’t be his fault if it sucked. He tried to pry open the other’s lips to put his tongue inside and used his hands to cup the other’s cheek. Maybe having a mate wasn’t so bad after all.

[Tsu Ryu]

Tsu looked at the boy for a moment or two trying to understand why he was so startled all of a sudden. He didn’t quite understand it at first and probably figured it was because of him touching his cheek. Tsu just wasn’t sure anymore about Ritsuka or even to fact on why he was so accreted to him in the first place. It wasn’t too long after that, that the older teen had felt the other’s lips against his own lips. Tsu wasn’t quite sure if it was okay to kiss someone of the same gender in front of everyone but he really didn’t care at all since it was Ritsuka he was kissing. He felt the younger teen trying to open his mouth as if he was trying to stick his tongue side of his mouth. The older teen pulled the other closer to him and opened his mouth to allow Ritsuka to explore it.

Though it didn’t last too long for him, since he released the boy’s lips and looked at him for a moment. Tsu could have swore that Rei had said something about kissing as well but wasn’t quite sure about that anymore. The older teen blushed furiously thinking of how many people just saw them making out in front of their eyes. So in the eyes of everyone around them two guys making out was probably a very wrong thing to do. Tsu stood up and stretched before turning to look at the other with a light smile on his face.

“Hey maybe we can forget what your cousin said and we can go to my house.” The older teen was suggesting something to do…even if it was just going to his house.

He was certain that no one would be home by this time since his sister and brother normally went out with their friends after school and his parents went out to his grandparents house. Tsu thought that they would have more privacy at his house then they did outside the open were everyone could see them. The older teen could probably have the other back before his cousin even noticed they had left sometime earlier. Though they only had an hour so that wasn’t much time at all. Though what the hell would he be planning to do with Ritsuka that would take over an hour? Tsu was just confused so he decided to hold out his hand for the younger teen to take if he wanted to leave the bench or not.

[ritsuka]

“To…your house?” Questioned the boy. “A-Are you implying you want to sleep with me?! You want to claim me?! My cousin will be back soon! Um…I’ve never done that kind of stuff before! B-But…you…and…”

He had known that doing those kinds of things was natural between mates, but he hadn’t expected the other to suddenly ask like that. After all, he had never even kissed before, so he was going to be inexperienced. What if Tsu had already done those kinds of things before?! The other would laugh at him or something for being a sucky kisser and not knowing anything about mating! What if the other decided not to claim him once he found out just how naïve and stupid Ritsuka was at this kind of crap? Man, he was screwed, and not in the good way. There was no way he could bullshit his way through this. It wasn’t like he knew how to fake it or even pretend he knew something. Now he wished he had listened to his cousin when the other had tried to explain mating to him. If only he hadn’t kicked the other out while calling him a weirdo pervert… But oh well, you couldn’t change the past. Still, he wasn’t sure what to do right now. If he didn’t go with the other, it’d seen like he didn’t want to be with him, but if he did go, he’d be confused as to what to do and probably make a fool out of himself.

“Hey, what are you two doing?!” Snapped a voice Ritsuka recognized as his cousin Rei. “What did I say about touching?! Hey you punk, who do you think you are?! You can’t go around feeling people up like that! Have you no shame?! What were you planning to do? Take my cousin home and deflower him? You’d better not be doing anything weird! I’ve been suspicious of you for a while and I don’t like how you’re looking at my cousin right now! You’d better back off buddy or else I’ll have to do something you won’t like! Come on buddy, step away from my cousin right now!”

Ritsuka was glad the other had showed up, but also a bit disappointed. For one thing, he had been close to being with the other, but also close to running away. He had almost run away from the other because he’d been scared to what it meant to be claimed. It wasn’t just about joining their bodies together. This meant something. Ritsuka wouldn’t just be pregnant with the other’s child; he’d have to be with this person forever and forever was a long time. It was scary to think about it like that. For one thing, he’d never even been in a relationship before. He knew he’d screw this up if he wasn’t careful and Ritsuka didn’t want that. He wanted to be a good mate for Tsu and he didn’t want to disappoint the other. He was always disappointing people and he didn’t want this to be one of the times he ended up making things worse. He always did that, make things worse even when he didn’t mean to.

“H-He didn’t do anything!” Insisted Ritsuka. “You’re always such a damn asshole! You’re not my father Rei, nor are you my brother! We’re just cousins and you always act like you know better, but you don’t! You’re just as clueless about this place as me! It’s not my fault we’re stuck on this planet or that you’re in a pissy mood! Just fucking stop it already and think about how we can get off this planet instead of bitching about a bunch of crap! Let it go! You already know he’s my mate, so there’s nothing you can do about it. You know the rules.”

[Tsu Ryu]

Tsu raised a brow lightly at what the other was saying. Was he really implying that he wanted to sleep with the younger teen? Well last time he check that’s not what he was doing but it seemed that’s what the younger teen was thinking. “Wha?… I don’t quite remember im…” he started before trailing off to try to understand the situation a little better then before.

He snapped his head quickly at the sound of a familiar voice that he had only heard about an hour ago that day. Tsu looked over at Ritsuka’s cousin, Rei, who began to yell at him for something that didn’t even happen yet. It seemed like the other was always accusing him of things that he never intended to do at all. Sure it was true that he liked…no loved Ritsuka but he would have taken it slow with the boy. The older teen hated the fact that the other was always quick to assume that something was about at happen. “I never…” he said lightly before trailing off again. He sure as hell didn’t want to get himself into any more trouble with Rei that he already was.

He listened to the younger teen speak to his cousin about what didn’t happen thought it looked like Rei wasn’t going to believe him anyways. Tsu personally was confused by what Ritsuka was talking about. Why was he taking about how to get off this planet as if they weren’t from it? What about being mates? The whole thing confused him more and more each time he heard the younger teen and his cousin arguing with each other. Though for some reason every time it felt like Tsu was going to say something to defend himself he was too afraid that the other’s cousin would hit him or do something terrible to him…like take Ritsuka away from him. He couldn’t help but want to be close and not way from him.

“Whoa what the hell are you taking about?” he started not sure of what to say. “What the hell’s with this getting of this planet and mates thing?! I don’t understand it why doesn’t someone tell me about this before I go insane and it bugs me for the rest of my goddamn life! And you, Rei I don’t understand why you have to so controlling over Ritsuka and I didn’t do anything to him and I wasn’t implying that I was to deflower him at the moment…anyways! Though I don’t understand why you can’t see that Ritsuka is in love with me and that I love him!”
