“I can’t believe I have to wake you up.”
Kyou cracked an eye to see Yuki glaring down at him. “Wha-?” he muttered thickly. He glanced around the room, he wasn’t sleeping in the living room. Why was the Rat in his room?
“Honda-san is going to be on soon.” Yuki crossed his arms and tried to look nonchalant. “Shigure said you spoke to her last night.”
Finally awake, Kyou sat up and his phone clattered out of the futon. He snatched it up. “Yeah so?” He glared at the rat, embarrassed and not wanting to share the conversation he’d had with her last night. He blushed at the memory. She said she liked it when it was just the two of us.
Yuki watched the cat’s cheeks redden with irritation. “So… is she okay?” He blurted.
“You saw her on TV last night. What do you think?” Kyou said standing up and glancing at the clock. “Out of my way, she’s going to be on soon.” When the other boy didn’t move he relented enough to say, “Didn’t the damn dog tell you? He’s sending Hatori over to look at her today. ”
“He didn’t.” Yuki frowned, knowing Shigure had kept that from him so he’d be compelled to wake up Kyou to find out about Tooru. He turned and stalked out of the room. Damn dog.
Kyou followed closely behind, just pausing to plug his phone into it’s charger. It was nearly drained after being left on and open all night. He’d fallen asleep holding it.
“They’ve mentioned her in a couple of the “in the next hour” bits, but she hasn’t been on yet.” Shigure said as they entered the room.
“When is Hatori going over to see her?” Yuki said after glancing briefly at the tv.
“Mmm.” Shigure checked the clock. “He’s probably at her apartment now. Hiromi-can called this morning, and I told her he’d be waiting for them to get back.”
“When did she call?” Kyou looked away from the TV. It wasn’t even six yet. He couldn’t believe he’d slept through the phone ringing. The house phone was loud enough to wake the dead.
“About a half hour ago,” Yuki answered. It had woken him up, but he hadn’t gotten downstairs before Shigure had hung up.
