Lalala... I\'m bored, I LOOOOOVE Nadesico, and I have Yurika\'s Akito squeel down pat. That doesn\'t matteres ies it? wtfever. Anyway, I was bored. I like Akito and Gai. I think Yurika needs to take a long walk on an unfinished bridge with a brick tied around her waist. Lalala... (Muse Kaizer: Incohearnt.) Shaddap. Enjoy Minna!

DISCLAIMER!: Oh yes, I make no money, cause I dun own it. ^.^;; Poor me, ne?

Akito rolled over and stared forlornly at the model sitting on the table. All that was left of Gai. He sat up and leaned over, the cool sheets pooling around his waist. The air was sharp and bitingly cold on his skin. He lifted the model up and looked at it.

\"Gai...\"

He lay back down and tucked the model next to him. It took him hours to fall asleep.

Tenkawa Akito was rudely awakened by a familiar, shrill squeel.

\"AKIIIIIIIIIITOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\"

He picked up the model from his pillow and rubbed the plastic gently, making it shine softly. His door slid open and Mizumaru Yurika, his childhood best friend and captain of the Nadesico, stood there, smiling.

\"Akito! Time to wake up! We have work to do!\"

\"I\'m coming. Go away will you.\"

\"Okay. I\'ll see you later Akito!\"

The blue haired girl left and the door slid shut. Akito glared at it and then violently flung his pillow at the traitorous peice of metal. He slid out of bed and went into the bathroom, turning on the shower. He brushed his teeth and then stripped off his boxers. He stepped into the warm water and let it drown out any other sounds. He rubbed shampoo through his hair and rinsed it out. Then he let the wapounpound down on him, feeling every trail it marked down his skin. There was a angry pounding on the door.

\"Tenkawa!!! Get out here!\"

He sighed and ended his shower. He wrapped a too small towel around his waist and walked out into the room.

\"What is it Ryoko?\"

Subaru Ryoko was a new pilot. She glared at him in exasperation.

\"We\'ve been yelling for an hour!\"

\"So?\"

He turned and pulled out a fresh pair of boxers and simply ignored Ryoko as he dropped the towel. There was a stammer in her voice.

\"We, we needed to, um, a-ask, ask you about, umm...\"

\"Ask me about???\"

He pulled out his clothes and pulled on the fitted pants, leaving them unfastened. His yellow shirt with the NERGAL symbol on the side went on next so it could be tucked in.

\"Ummm, about that other pilot. See, I found this in the hall.\"

Akito turned and saw the photo in the outstreached hand. His eyes widened and he reached out shakingly, taking it back. He held it to him tightly.

\"What about him?\"

\"Well...\"

Akito held the photo in his mouth while he tucked in his shirt and fastened his pants. Then he took it out and looked at it.

\"Well what?\"

The photo was old. Of course, Gai had been gone a long time. It was both of them, Gai was laughing. He\'d loved that laugh. So full of life. It started slow and built easily. The way half his mouth turned up and the other part curled only a little had always been Akito\'s favorite part of his smile. Gai was behind him, one arm around Akito\'s waist and the other over his shoulder, flashing a victory sign. Akito had been laughing up at Gai. Gai had been pretending to be one of the Gekigenger guys again. Jun had shown up and asked if he could have a picture and Gai had accepted then pulled Akito into the photo.

\"...-thing between you.\"

\"What? I wasn\'t listening.\"

Ryoko sighed and looked at the wild haired guy.

\"Izumi, the idiot and me were wondering what was going on with you two. I mean, everytime you mention him, you get really sad. There had to have been something between you.\"

Akito breathed.

\"It was complicated. Don\'t worry about it.\"

\"Tell me Akito.\"

Akito sat down on the edge of his bed, staring at the photo.

\"I just miss him, thats all.\"

\"Why? He was just another pilot.\"

\"He was more than that Ryoko!\"

Akito sprang up, yelling in anger. His eyes flashed and the photo in his hand trembled.

\"There was more to Gai than you\'ll ever know and the entire world should be sad that he\'s gone!\"

\"Whoa, I\'m sorry, I didn\'t think he would mean that much to you.\"

\"He does.\"

\"Did?\"

\"DOES!\"

Ryoko eeped and left the room. Akito snarled softly after her. Then he lay on the bed, curled up around the photo.

\"Gai, I miss you...\"

~~~dream~~~

\"Akito. Come on cooking boy, wake up.\"

Akito looked around. It was warm. And cool. It was inbetween. A tall figure walked out from no where.

\"Hey, cooking boy.\"

Gai grinned at Akito. Akito\'s eyes widened to immense proportions.

\"GAI!\"

The taller man grinned more and cross his arms.

\"Of course its me. Who else did you expect? Yurika?\"

Akito dashed over and wrapped himself in the other man\'s arms.

\"No... I just didn\'t expeou..ou... God... Gai.\"

\"Well, I\'m not God, but, if you wanna make me YOUR God...\"

Akito laughed and hugged Gai tighter.

\"Your an idiot.\"

\"You love me anyhow.\"

Akito smiled and looked adoringly up at Gai. The taller man was smiling down at him. Akito leaned up, tempting his boyfriend. The temptation worked. Gai leaned down and captured Akito in a sweet but demanding kiss that left them both panting.

\"Akito, I\'m sorry.\"

\"It wasn\'t your fault.\"

\"I was careless. I left you alone with that leach and now there are three more leaches.\"

Akito rubbed his cheek against the red material of Gai\'s shirt, the snug fabric outlining firm planes of muscle on Gai\'s chest. The man\'s arms tightened.

\"I\'m not interested in them like that Gai. Yurika is just an old friend. I don\'t love her like I love you. Please, don\'t leave me again.\"

\"I have to babe. Its the rules. Dead Gai\'s can\'t come back to life in their boyfriends arms.\"

Akito laughed at the joke.

\"I wish you could.\"

~~~into reality~~~

~~~into real reality~~~

Akito woke up panting. Beside him, a dark form stirred and another pair of eyes slid open.

\"Nnn, wassa matter babe?\"

\"I just had a dream. You were dead.\"

Akito let himself be pulled back down against his boyfriend and lover. The other man sighed as they rested under the cover of night.

\"I\'m not dead so don\'t worry.\"

\"Yeah.\"

Akito smiled at Gai who smiled back. Akito just loved the way the right side of his mouth turned up while the other curved slightly, in a sort of lopsided grin. He leaned forwards and kissed Gai gently. The taller man kissed him back then pulled away.

\"Sleep. We have things to do. Like avoid the leach.\"

Akito nodded and curled up against Gai.

\"Yeah. Good night Gai.\"

\"\'Nite cooking boy.\"

Lalalala... call it AU and be done with ialalalalala... Thank you Mrs. Tadpole...

Muse Kaizer: The onna has become incohearant so I shall resume her monologue. We hope you enjoyed this bit of angistish fluff as the misstress would call it. Kaire blames it solely on cheese and PEPSI, neither of which are her creation-

ONE OF THESE DAYS I WILL OWN THE CHEESE COMPANY! ... Kumbiya my Lord, Kumbiya!

Muse Kaizer: As I was saying before I was so rudely intterupted. This was made for no specific reasons that Karie-sama can think of at the moment. And Jenna-kun, one day, I will get you. And your sexually confused dog and homosexual, incestuous rabbits too.

Whatever, leave the gay incest bunnies alone. I don\'t care so much for the dog. Ja!

KARIE *muah!* <3
