Hi all.
Here's something interesting: A non-lemon Yaoi fanfiction that I
whipped up for the ccsyaoi mailing list a while back. I'm posting it in two
parts because that's how it was originally written: I posted part 1 on
Friday, and then part 2 on the Tuesday following.
The characters herein do not belong to me, they belong to CLAMP, and my
use of them should not be seen as a challenge to their ownership of these
characters.

A Day in the Life
Part 1
Touya woke up. He blinked up at the ceiling, waiting a moment to see if
any wandering spirits or stray ghosts should want to show up and complain
about the afterlife.
Nothing. Good.
He sat up and stretched, using his normal ears to listen. Quiet. Father
was probably in the basement working on something, and the Monster was still
sleeping. So he grabbed his robe and ran for the bath.
Back from the bath he heard Sakura's alarm go off, and immediately shut off
as he quickly got dressed. His usual school uniform, plus the little pin
that Yuki had gotten him at the fair last year. He grinned as Sakura's
alarm again tried to wake her, and was immediately silenced.
Downstairs. Today was his turn for breakfast, so he started the rice and
then got going with the other ingredients. Nothing too fancy, as Father
never ate much in the morning and the Monster always bolted her food without
tasting it anyway.
Speaking of which, the explosion of thumping and shouting noises up above
drew his attention. The Monster had awakened, late as usual, and was once
again complaining to her 'Kero-chan' that it should have woken her.
Someday, she would have to learn that walls didn't make a room soundproof.
He
*would* tease her about talking to her stuffed animal, only he rather
thought there was something... special about it. And if she thought he was
paying too much attention to it, she'd clam up, and he wouldn't learn a
thing.
The 7:50 Monster Express left the upstairs station and rumbled into the
kitchen, stopping off at the table. "Good morning!"
Touya grinned. "A Monster hairdo for a Monster?"
Sakura glared, and then felt her head, eyes going wide as she obviously
realized that she had forgotten to comb it. Chopsticks in mouth she zipped
for the bathroom and back, hair neat. "I am
*not* a Monster," she growled
in a menacing voice.
Touya grinned, and let her finish eating.
As he unlocked his bike, he heard Sakura snapping on leg-guards. She
hadn't originally wanted to use them, but he had insisted. If she wanted to
follow him around on skates at his speeds, then she'd better be prepared in
case of an accident.
Sakura came out of the house like a cannonball, and so he started on his
way to Yuki's house. Down the street, around the corner, and....
"To-Ya!"
Yuki, unlike some species of Monster, was always on time. Touya stopped,
putting one foot down to stay balanced as his friend jumped on the bike and
put an arm around him for stability. A faint thrill went through him at the
touch, but he'd put in several hours in front of a mirror to learn how
*not*
to blush. Good, upstanding young men do not blush when their overly
affectionate friends give them a squeeze. Not not not.
At that point he realized that they were already on their way, and that
Yuki had asked him a question. He ran his memory backwards like an audio
tape, and remembered Yuki asking him if he could go for a walk after school.
"Sure. No problem." No clubs today, and he suspected the Monster wanted
to pig out on pancakes after school.
With that, they reached school. Sakura waved and turned into the gate for
her school, spinning about to expertly catch the candy that Yuki had tossed
her with a smile. And then they wizzed through the gates to their own
school, just in time.
Classes went well. He saw Sakura during lunch, and gave a scary look to
that Sayorlan brat who keeps following her around. Sakura may think that he
was a creep now, but he could see... a potential. It hung around them in a
way that suggested it might take Sakura away, and he thought it best if he
made sure it didn't happen too quickly.
Lunch with Yuki is always a wonder. As Touya munched on his sandwich, he
watched Yuki finish his third. How someone so feminine and graceful could
possibly eat like a pig was one of the mysteries that so intregued him.
More classes, and then he rode with Yuki to the park. After chaining the
bike to a rack, they wandered into the undergrowth.
"So, what's up, Yukito?"
Yuki bit his lip, giving Touya a look, and then looking off to the side.
Touya waited patiently.
Yuki sighed. "I guess it won't say itself, will it? You've known me a
while, right?"
Touya nodded, and shrugged. "Yeah. A few years."
"A few years... You're a good friend, To-ya. A good friend. But I'd like
something... more."
"More?" Touya felt himself growing tense, and remembered the thrill of
Yuki's touch that morning.
Yuki stepped closer to him, glancing around to see that they were alone.
"Yes." And then he kissed him. On the mouth.
Touya stood shock still. Yuki? Like this?
It is one thing to have a little crush on your friend, and to indulge it
from time to time. It is quite another thing to realize that the crush
could grow into something more, something that could lead to condemnation
and fear. Touya stepped back from his friend, his face frozen.
Yuki sighed, his face falling as his friend stepped away. He had been
wrong.
"I- I- I can't." Touya couldn't say any more. What few words he'd gotten
out had taken more work then he thought he could do. So he did the easy
thing: turning on his heel and fleeing.
