Welcome to Gaia! ::

Takeru shrugged a bit. "Eh the same as always. Im just a naturally lazy person.." Takeru rubbed the side of his neck for a moment as he just looked down at Haruka once more.

Takeru laughed a little bit before he was pulled a bit down the hall by Haruka. He soon pulled Haruka back into him and hugged him for a little bit. "Someone likes to break the rules huh?" Of course he was just pickin on him like he always did.

(( sweatdrop I suck, sorry...))

Haruka looked away, his cheeks warming, "Whats that mean? I'm not doing anything." he chuckled, smiling as his eyes wandered across the baseball field. His eyes narrowed on the group of men practicing. His eyes narrowed, pupils catlike, and he simply watched them, walking slowly beside Takeru, his ears pinned, straining to listen to the footsteps around them.
Haruka stopped suddenly, looking back over his shoulder at the demon that was now leaning against the wall just behind them. His normally brown eyes were crimson, and locked on Harukas gold.
"Hey, Haru, whats up?" he said, his lips curved into a smile, his eyes moving only briefly to Takeru.
When did he- how could i have not have noticed him?! How long has he been there?! Haruka panicked, but only for a moment,
"Joe..." he muttered at first, his eyes returning to normal,
"See something your interested in?" Joe asked, looking out the window at the players.
"No..." Haruka countered, looking away quickly, his grip tightened on Takerus hand, though not enough to hurt him. He doubted his hand was strong enough to hurt anyone.
Joes cool gaze returned to Haruka,
"Haru... your eyes say otherwise..." he said, wondering why he'd lie about such a thing, "Whos your friend?" he asked smoothly, looking at Takeru.

Joe cocked his head, "Now, why say that? I haven't even done anything..." he protested, "yet..." he smiled, amused by the way Takeru thought Haruka was his. He then sighed, and shook his head, "Geez, man, can't someone even be friendly? I've done nothing that wasn't polite." he looked back, frowning.
Haruka realized that Joe was right, he really hadn't done anything wrong. Perhaps it was the tones he used that set people off. Haruka blushed as he was pulled into Takerus arms, his heart skipping a few beats.
Joe's eyes narrowed, as though he could hear Harukas heartbeat sped up, and he only watched, wondering how the other demon would react.

Joe sighed, "Well, I feel the same way about you. So i guess we're going to be just fine." he chuckled, eying Takeru, he then looked back out the window, "So... Haru, do you like the gifts i gave you?" he asked, his gaze moving back to the couple, his eyes had a strange warm glow that didn't fit him, then looked back out the window.
Haruka pulled away slowly, his eyes narrowed, and he looked over at Joe, his hand digging in his pocket. He tossed the phone at him quickly. Joe caught it without looking, and tossed it back. Haruka had to step away from Takeru to catch it, he fumbled with it for a moment, "I don't want-"
"You'll keep it." Joe snapped, looking over at him, "And the other?" he asked, his voice had softened again.
Haruka gave him a confused look, and shook his head.
Joe walked past them, "You don't know? I'll ask later." he chuckled, ruffling Harukas hair as he passed, "I'll see you after class, Haru." He eyed Takeru, and vanished down the hall.
Haruka was frozen in place.

Harukas eyes widened as Takeru spoke, "W-why?" he asked, then noticed he was still holding the phone, and blushed, "Its fine... I'll give it back to him later..." he realized that it wasn't a cheep phone, having seen an advertisement for it before, "He was just trying to apologize..." he muttered to himself, staring at it. He blinked, shaking his head quickly, and looking back up at Takeru, "It doesn't matter anyway, he's always like that..." he said, "Last time he bought me a bike.... forgetting that i cant ride a bike..." he chuckled, "I guess its the thought that counts right?" he smiled brightly at Takeru, "Lets go." he gently reached for Takerus hand, wishing he could calm him down somehow.

Haruka bowed his head, his ears pinned flat against his head, "T-Takeru..." He knew he shouldn't have been scared, it wasn't like Takeru was going to hurt him. Or at least he hoped he didn't, he really didn't know for sure. He was to scared to reach forward and stop Takeru, or look at his now bleeding hand. Instead, all he could do was watch, and fight the reflex to run away. "Why are you mad? d-did i do something wrong?" he asked, biting down hard on his lip.

Haruka bit his lip, and slowly reached for Takerus hand, his own hand trembling. He winced as though someone had stabbed his hand with needles, and pulled it towards him to examined the wounds, "T-Takeru..." he said, mustering up the best voice he could, which turned out to be even more shaky then him, "We should have this looked at..." he said, though he couldn't look up at Takeru, could barely hold himself in place.
Joe'd done this on purpose, Haruka realized, Joe knew him better then anyone else in the world. So he'd known exactly what to do to make Haruka doubt his reasons for being near Takeru.
Haruka, suddenly as furious as Takeru, which was rare, pulled Takeru down the hall to the nurses office. Haruka looked much older, his features had matured considerably, and for once he looked the same age as everyone else. Not a child.
"I'll be back." he said, his voice had changed too, releasing Takerus hand, "Please get your hand looked at." he said, and stormed off down the hall.




Joe smiled, watching them. So he's mad now... Joe thought to himself, his eyes narrowing on Haruka, then moved to Takeru, "Lucky b*****d..." he muttered, and let out a heavy sigh.
