Out of Bounds

Kippei hung up the phone, feeling guilty as hell. His mother’s slightly shrill tone had given him a headache, and he pinched the bridge of his nose. Dammit. He’d completely missed An’s birthday, and his mother was less than pleased. Why weren’t you here, she’d demanded, and implied, again, that he was letting the family [...]

Kippei didn’t think he should be nervous. Actually, he was pretty sure he wasn’t nervous, except he might be, a little. He had called Shinji’s dad, and asked him if it was alright to come over, that he’d like to talk to him. He hadn’t said why, and Ibu-san hadn’t asked. Kippei was rather glad [...]

It was early and Shinji supposed he didn’t really have a reason to be up, but Akira had rolled off the bed early and gone for a run and it had woken Shinji up. Shinji thought he was paranoid about falling out of shape now that he wasnt overworking himself into a stupor with the [...]

Shinji crept into An’s room and quickly shut the door, knowing he had managed to get in without Kippei or Akira seeing him and more than a little pleased with himself. “An-chan?” He crept through to the door of the adjoining bathroom looking for An. “You in here?”

Shinji stalked around the house and he didn’t like it. He didn’t like the stupid front lawn that needed mowing, or the stupid carpet that needed vacuuming, or all the stupid rooms that never got used. He really didnt like the hole in the bathroom roof that led to the room Tatsu called his own. [...]

Inui…Inui, Inui, Inui. Shinji sighed and kicked another rock, because he could. Inui’s apartment was just upstairs but he was having trouble working up the courage to go up there because he owed…one huge fuck off apology. Sighing yet again, he hitched his tennis bag higher and marched through the foyer, up the stairs to [...]

Kippei didn’t bother calling or saying anything to anyone before he headed over to Inui’s house, the first chance he got. Quite frankly he didn’t care if he came at an inconvenient time, that was just too bad. Inui was going to listen to him anyway. He wasn’t exactly sure why all he was so [...]

Ann glared at her computer screen, seething with anger. Shinji and Kippei needed to die horribly and they needed to do it now! How the everliving hell could they even think that she’d ever be with Atobe like that? Not to mention actually posting said thoughts in her own damn journal?! She could hardly believe [...]

Ann pressed the bell-button by the gates of Atobe mansion, shrugging her tennis bag into a more comfortable place over her shoulder. She hadn’t spoken with Atobe after the chaos that erupted in her journal the other day (thank you so fucking much, Shinji!), and was just a little bit worried about all of that. [...]

It was early. Not that early, and not so late that he had to get up, since it probably wasn’t six yet and he didn’t even have school anymore, but it was early enough that Shinji was starting to wake up, and it was early enough to untangle himself from the bed and go find [...]
