"A stolen kiss?" by Sara Jaye Yep, another AmiboshixSuboshi fic! ^^ This is more shounen ai than "Brotherly love", though. It's just a little something I came up with late one night while browsing through various fics and things... [Disclaimers: Fushigi Yuugi is the property of Watase Yuu. None of the characters belong to me. This is not only a shounen ai story, but it's twincest as well. You know the drill, don't like it, don't read. Otherwise, enjoy! ^^] ~ "Kawaii aniki-chan," Suboshi mumbled, pulling his brother against him. It was almost midnight, yet while Amiboshi was nearly asleep, Suboshi didn't feel tired at all for some reason. "Hmm?" Amiboshi looked up a little with half-closed eyes. "You say something?" Suboshi blushed. 'Idiot,' he mentally scolded himself. "N-nothing," he stammered. "Just go back to sleep, aniki." "Allright," Amiboshi mumbled, nestling against his brother. "'Night, Su- chan." His eyes closed as he fell back to sleep. "'Night, aniki..." Suboshi buried his face against his twin's hair and sighed. These...FEELINGS he had for his brother lately...he knew very well they were wrong, but the more he tried to deny them the stronger they were. 'He's so beautiful...' he idly thought, looking down at the sleeping form of Amiboshi lying against him. 'Don't think about it. You've cried enough lately,' he told himself. With that, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. But an hour later, he was awake, staring longingly at his twin once again. 'It's not fair. Why did we have to be blood-related? Why did I have to fall for him this way? If he knew...he'd be disgusted and never speak to me again!' Tears sprang to his eyes. 'No. You promised you wouldn't cry anymore, Shunkaku,' he thought. But the tears fell anyway, stinging his cheeks. "Aniki..." he whispered. His brother was still soundly asleep. Suboshi's gaze fell to Amiboshi's lips, which curved into a slight smile. He always did love Amiboshi's smile...so warm, so comforting, so... "Beautiful," he whispered, absently running his fingertips through his twin's hair. If he could just kiss those lips...just once... 'Baka!' he cursed himself. His thoughts were a mess, he felt like he was going to have a nervous breakdown! Damn it, why did love have to be so hard and hurt so much? He tried to force the idea of kissing Amiboshi out of his head, but it wouldn't leave! 'Maybe...I could just do it for a second...while he's asleep,' Suboshi thought. Maybe he wouldn't feel it...if he did, Suboshi could just convince him that he'd been dreaming... 'Yes...I will...' he decided. Heart pounding, he leaned his face in until his and Amiboshi's lips were barely brushing. Slowly, gently, he pressed his mouth to his brother's... 'Oh gods...' His lips were so soft, so warm...it was like kissing a sun-warmed flower! He found himself deepening the kiss a little, holding Amiboshi tightly against him. His lips tasted so good... 'Aniki...oh gods, aniki, I love you so much!' His eyes closed-only to snap open a second later as he felt something...something against the back of his head?! '...I knew it! I knew I wouldn't get away with this, Shunkaku no baka!' he berated himself. He began to break away from Amiboshi... Then realized the person holding the back of his head WAS Amiboshi! 'What?!' He broke off the kiss. "A-aniki...!!" he cried. "What...?!" "You didn't think I was going to sleep through that, did you, otouto?" Amiboshi laughed softly. "Remember...we're linked. And the look on your face before we went to sleep was a dead giveaway," he said. "...Aniki...!" Suboshi began to laugh, feeling as if a boulder had just been lifted from him. "Y-you mean...you...?" "I feel the same way, otouto," Amiboshi said softly, his eyes shining as he drew Suboshi into his embrace. "Why...why didn't you say anything, aniki?" "What, tell my brother I have romantic feelings for him? Sure, that was gonna be easy," Amiboshi said sarcastically. Suboshi sighed. "I know. I was afraid if you knew how I felt you'd hate me," he said. "Hate you?! Otouto, I could never hate you, never in a million years," Amiboshi reassured him. "I was afraid you would think I was a freak." "No way." Suboshi snuggled closer. "You'd never be a freak. You're my brother," he said. Amiboshi laughed. "Otouto..." he murmured, then yawned a little. "Tired?" Suboshi pulled the covers around the two of them. "Let's get some sleep," he said. "Yeah...but didn't we leave something...unfinished?" Amiboshi asked, a gleam in his eye. Suboshi grinned. "Oh yeah," he whispered. "Now...where did we leave off?" Amiboshi simply pressed his lips to Suboshi's in response. ~End~ As I said before, this is definitely more shounen ai than "Brotherly Love" was. My views on Amiboshi&Suboshi's relationship have changed considerably in the months between "Brotherly Love" and this story. Not that much, though-even with a more shounen ai feeling I still see em as "really close brothers...who get cozy and kiss occasionally". ^^
