'Ros tilted his head, leaning down and pressing a kiss to the other's neck just above where the coon's hand was resting. But he also used it to mask what he was doing...a whisper...meant for Hikuzu's ears alone...a demonstration of his true attentiveness...something that he masked brilliantly. "Do you need to go home, my little troubadour?"
And he slipped then...away...and into the seat beside him, golden eyes watching for a reaction of some kind with what could almost be termed concern. This had been so important to Hikuzu...and to have it go this way was surely hard on him.
Worried? Yes he was...again...a thing he would not admit...even to himself.

"I won't, I was just cranky for some odd reason," Hiryo said giving his mate a soft nuzzle and sipping more of the deliciously spiced tea. His eyes flickered to Hikuzu. "Hiku, if you need a few minutes alone all you have to do is say so."
Aure closed the fridge sitting down and tended to his own cup of tea, adding a spoonful of sugar and sipping silencely. It felt repressive and made his skin itch slightly. This hadn't gone well.

For some reason Hikuzu really didn't want to hear his mother right now and he shot those crimson eyes at Hiryo, they were sharp as daggers. His face was pretty much emotionless as if he was empty behind the shell of his body. Sinking further and further and staring at his own cup of tea he sighed. He was loathe to even have 'Ros sit next to him when he wanted 'Ros pressed to him. He couldn't feel reassured like this but he knew it would be over soon so aloud he said, "We'll leave soon 'Ros. Might as well finish the tea my brother worked so hard to set up." It wasn't spiteful but it was empty, hollow as if he was slowly slipping. All the hard work of the last few monthes was amounting to nothing in the real world of pain and passion. It was depressing on a heavy level and he took the tea in his hands and sipped it, ignoring the fact he didn't want it at all.
Kudo had to blame something. Anything. So he blamed hormones and temperments and love. Hikuzu was too out of it with all the raging hormones and Hiryo had instigated it with his temper that was formed from love. The core of the entire problem was love and was the troubadour's fault alone. It was no one elses and his father knew that. He knew so much that it was hard to speak about where it started. Kudo kept an arm around Hiryo and he squeezed it then, "Shush love. Let him be."

He smiled faintly, though the expression could not be called happy. "All right, Hikuzu...we do, after all, have other things we must do today..." It was quiet, the words not meant to be hidden, just to indicate that they were indeed directed at the singer. Yes...he wanted to grab the other by the wrist and bolt right now...get this done and over with...and on to the next challenge, which he considered far less a threat than Hikuzu's parents and sibling.

Hiryo sigh and looked down into his cup blinking back teary eyes. His baby was leaving him and he had anger Hikuzu..he hadn't ment to but 'Ros was rubbing him wrong. Hiryo sniff and burried his face agaisnt his lover, well as best he could with the chair in the way.
"You..I guess it should of been know.." Aure sigh shaking his head, finger teasing a lock of blonde hair. "Hiku I'm happy for you. Really I am and I'm sure mama is too after he gets over his little mood swings. You know how Ma can get.." Aure smiled fondly at his mother. "He's a little mental but he means well..sometimes he just has trouble expressing it."
The angel fox scuffed his feet. "Don't bother drinking it Hikuzu..you don't want it..and I don't think you wanted to see me, so I'll just leave." A small shrugg of the thin shoulders. "Maybe..call me?" He mutter and twirled leaving on padding feet and burst into a run out of sight towards the bio dorm outside.

"Aure." Fonder words never left the singer's lips and it seemed in a golden moment, that he'd found his angelic voice again. And then, another moment later, it cracked, "...Everyone is always walking away from me. I'm sick of it." The words were to himself, but were audible so that everyone in the room could hear him. He sounded angry now, but really he wasn't. He couldn't feel anything, he couldn't even sense what he was doing and all he knew is that it was happening. "It's time to leave now. Goodbye mother, father..." He looked to 'Ros, knowing his coon friend would follow close behind, and then he left, waiting by the car. He wasn't up for tolerating much more today, it hurt too much to even breathe now.
Kudo watched the light tantrum with a frowning amusement. He was highly displeased at the commotion and knew naught what to do. Simply it was the end and shifting around so that he could hold Hiryo closer he shushed his love, "It's alright love... it'll be okay... go out and speak to Aure. I don't want this family broken." He didn't say much else after that, but sat there blankly staring at the discarded tea and cakes.

He knew something was quite terribly wrong...that things were falling apart as he watched...and for once that wasn't a good thing...not an instance which sparked amusement. It alarmed him...especially in Hikuzu.
So he was just behind the angelic fox...nodding a moment to the other's parents. The lack of an assured farewell indicated just what was going on inside 'Ros's head. Once they were outside, however, he wrapped his arms around the singer...pulling him to him and then...he put a finger beneath Hikuzu's chin, tilting his face upwards until the auburn-haired male could kiss him, which he did. A gentle reminder that...yes...he was here...he wasn't leaving...
...and the rest of the world could go screw themselves with a carrot.

Aure paused looking back watching his brother storm to the car. The angel fox ears flickered down for a moment. That...he shouldn't have done that, running away again from his brother. He pushed his hair back and started walking to the car..Might as well say good bye properly.
His right wing flickered foward and his hand ran over the metal feathers feeling and as he walked teasing one of them loose pulling it out with a small wince. Hell it was just going to fall off sooner or latter. Heaves know why he was chosen to be the one that molted. Sigh.
"Ummm brother?" He asked and paused as 'Ros forced his brother into a kiss..ooh dear..Umm. "This..this is for you," he muttered afterwards holding the smallest feather out. "Just so..well I'm always with you and so you know I do love you. Even if I don't say it or am there."
Hiryo sigh. "No, We'll leave Aure alone. With Hikuzu storming out like that Aure is bound to try and make things right.." He gave his mate a soft kiss. "We'll talk to him latter when this is less raw."

There was no dislike or unwillingness behind his lips or eyes as the coon kissed him gently and he rather liked it enough to peek out a bit from the shadows of his mind. However, when a voice brought his crimson eyes out of the fantasy of the man before him and into the reality of his brother holding out one of his metallic feathers, he hid again. The words didn't really reach him and they faded somewhere between his ears and the barrier of his mind. It hurt too much to accept them and as his fingers closed on the piece of metal, he turned away and walked to the passenger door of the car. He didn't look at either of them or say a word but his intentions were clear: he was leaving and nothing would be pulled from his mouth at this time (except stolen kisses perhaps).
Kudo nodded, "And there's goes the other son. Life is complicated, I hope they'll figure it out." He smiled a little to himself and returned his lover's kiss. There would be much discussion to follow... but it was all unimportant now. Nothing mattered for the moment because all he wanted to do now was push the problem away for it was not his to solve.

'Ros actually smiled at Aure. It was a look that said simply, 'I know what you're trying to do...and I thank you for it...but it won't help right now.' He didn't know if anyone could bring to cessation the things that had been put in motion in Hikuzu's life...but he was well aware that...if someone could...then it would be 'Ros...'Ros and 'Ros alone.
Walking over, he unlocked the door, opening it for the singer, and bidding him without words to get in. Hikuzu had oft surprised him...but he did not think that there would be any such surprises today. A quick kiss was pressed to the singer's temple, and the coon went to his own side of the car, shutting the door with a sound that rang almost ominously in sensitive ears.
Note:: He hadn't talked to the younger brother either...

Needless to say, he felt heavy. His limbs felt like lead weights attatched to his body and pulling him forever down. Struggling against the pain and weight that was all in his mind he sat in the car with a gentle albeit slow and creaky ease. His fingers delicately pulled the door closed as well and those hands placed themselves precariously in his lap, as if he was afraid to set them there but had to nontheless. Eyes focused downward and bulging stomach did not make him look any less solemn. The troubadour felt almost terrible for his actions, for his feelings and for the children he carried.
If he could not protect himself, and hid behind 'Ros... if he could not keep from getting sick at the slightest thing that didn't go how he wished it... he wondered how well off he'd be right now. If 'Ros decided to go away, Hikuzu would probably sit in a slump for a while slowly killing himself and the babies inside of him. Perhaps it was a freedom, to be allowed something as sweet as the coon. It was the one cherishable thing in his life aside from the twins and as he sat there he feared what he would say to them.

Dare to say...that Hikuzu would be the only one to use the adjective 'sweet' in referencing 'Ros in any way, form, or fashion. He was biased, heavily so, and he didn't mind flaunting it. There were ways he'd act, things he would do, words he would say...and they were only for the angelic fox.
Starting the car, he pulled away...not saying a word to the singer for a few, long moments. "Hikuzu..." He rested his hand between them, palm up, wordless invitation. "...well...that could have gone differently...but it's over." And there was no mistaking the fact that the coon was glad it was over.

It took awhile for the troubadour to react in any way to the other's words. It was so hard to hear that the deaf silence of the world he lived in muffled all but the beating of his heart which was slowly driving him mad. He knew not what to say or how to deal with it, knew not what he could do. Yes, he was suffering. Physical, mental. The whole shebang. However, the musician had to ask himself if he hurt the other as well and at that moment he realized the other had spoken and placed a hand between the two.
Eyes the color of blood-red roses watched that hand and then he slipped his own into it, clasping his slender fingers tightly about it. "Oh 'Ros..." He sighed, finally trusting words to come from his lips. "It's over for now, but mother doesn't like you at all and I know she's probably upset with me for doing this... for carrying the children of my friend." He fell silent again, words not clearly expressing the reality of how upset he truly was.

He nodded slowly, "I understand...but then...the fact that people don't like me is nothing new, you know..." Hell...he couldn't imagined what might have happened had he been his usual, sarcastic, scathing self...witty at everyone else's expense. He was fairly sure that a true fight would have broken out, and for some reason, Hiryo unsettled him.
"And honestly...I know it's important to you, but their opinion isn't going to change my actions." No...only Hikuzu's opinion changed his actions. Something he noted with not a little bit of chagrin.

"I know..." He responded almost too calmly and almost too quickly. His mind was perhaps elsewhere, but nothing could be done. There was problems all around him and he prayed going home to tell the twins would go smoothly. "'Ros, what will I do if they aren't happy with this?" Surely he was indicating the boys at home, but who's to say that was obvious? He was distraught and not thinking clearly and his only focus was the coon and it was a blurry insight.
Back at the apartment, one of the said boys was nearly in tears. His morning hadn't gone much better then Hikuzu's. He was certainly older then he'd been when the troubadour 'adopted' him and his brother, but now he was even more confused. The smiles never stopped though, he was never sad except for now. Now he'd woken up to find Hikuzu gone and suddenly and argument of tension broke out between him and Fhyst. Takiro was having trouble coping as he stood in the kitchen and looked at his brother, pleading, "Fhyst... come on..."
