Faux Pas [Kaede]

[Kamizuru Yuu]

it doesn't change the fact that

i was born to fly

A purplette bobbed his head in the kitchen of a Kamizuru bachelor, dancing to the tune of his own song. A chicken was in the oven, vegetables in a pan on the stove. Heterochromatic eyes peeked in the oven window every now and then to monitor the bird, not that the male really knew what he was looking for. It just needed to be brown, right? But how brown? He'd find out. At first glance, it would seem that Yuu was in his kitchen, trying to cook again. He never died from his own food, sure it wasn't... tasty... but no one had gotten horribly ill—aside from that time Yuu fed Okami that horrible stew. But if one looked closer, they would notice that the lilac hair was shorter, the features more defined, shoulders broader, and mirrored heterochromia. This was not Yuu in the kitchen, but instead his twin brother Kyo.

Kyo had been all over Yuu concerning bringing a stranger home—carrying that stranger no less! One with multicolored hair and piercings out the wazoo—not the sort Kyo could envision his medic sibling fraternizing with. But looks were deceiving, Kyo knew that. His twin was a perfect example of that. Yuu had run off to the store to buy a few things and left his equally kitchen-savvy brother in charge of the food he was to feed Kaede.

Probing the archer had given Kyo a good amount of answers as to Kaede's origin. A tokujo ANBU from Amegakure, a transgender like Yuu. He wasn't given details as to why the guy looked so beat up, but if Yuu wasn't sharing, then it was best not to ask. Hearing some stirring out in the livingroom where the guest sleep on the couch, Kyo popped his head out of the kitchen to check on Uchiha. He called out in a semi-soft voice that had more of a natural edge to it than Yuu's did.

“Oi, sleepyhead. You awake?”

lay still like the dead from the razor to the rosary

we could lose ourselves and paint these walls in pitchfork red this hole you put me in wasn't deep enough

Kaede had conked out while they were walking back to Iwa, happily drooling on Yuu's shoulder in his sleep whilst the medic carried him. He'd been dumped on the couch, and Yuu had covered his curled up form with a blanket that had puppy dog print and was covered in blonde cat hairs. The tokujo was snoring away, face-down in the pillow (and probably drooling on it, too) when a voice broke through the haze of dreams.

"Huhwhaa?" Cotton candy pink eyes blinked open and Kaede squinted at the figure presented. Looked like Yuu. Didn't sound like Yuu... not enough that he would think the guy was Yuu, anyway. He vaguely recalled something about a twin brother...

"'m awake. Now." He sat up and stretched, yawning, shaking his head to clear the sleep away. "I smell food..."

"Huhwhaa? 'm awake. Now.""

Classy.

"I smell food..."

Naturally the first words to fall out of this guy's mouth were about food.

“Yeah, there's some chicken and vegetables cooking in here. Need anything, Uchiha? Bath, clothes, something to occupy yourself until my brother gets back to help finish lunch?”

Kyo wasn't exactly the most tactful of babysitters, was he?
