Sol Invictus and InuKai

[prillalar]

Here's hoping the sun will rise tomorrow. I am an atheist, but if I were to worship something, it would be the sun. I fear it when it's here, I pine for it when it's gone. I hate it and I crave it.

The rising of the sun,
The running of the deer,
All merry people rise and greet
The turning of the year.

I promised myself that when I finished my Yuletide story I could write some InuKai fluff. So here it is.

Hal's Fluffy InuKai Story by Hal
Pairing: InuKai
Summary: Fluff

[ also posted to inu_kai and tenipuri_yaoi ]

Kaidoh Kaoru had a problem. He was in school, but that wasn't the problem; he always did very well in school because he studied hard. He was in the tennis club but that wasn't the problem; he always did very well at tennis because he trained and practiced lots every day.

The problem was his senpai. Actually, the problem really wasn't his senpai. Inui helped Kaidoh a lot by making special training menus for him and working out with him and giving him lots of good advice.

The problem, the real problem, was inside Kaidoh. Whenever Kaidoh saw Inui-senpai, he felt like Inui was wearing an undershirt made out of magnets and Kaidoh was wearing one made out of metal and the magnets were pulling the metal. Whenever Kaidoh didn't see Inui, there was this sort of odd scrunched up feeling inside his chest that was like a pain but not quite.

The problem was that Kaidoh liked Inui-senpai in a special way.

Kaidoh tried ignoring the special feeling. It was special in an inappropriate way and so he couldn't let it change the way he acted. But it was really hard, with the magnet magnetizing and the pain hurting and Inui telling Kaidoh about aerobic and anaerobic exercise in such a low and gentle voice.

He couldn't take it anymore! "Senpai," he said, "I like..." But then his throat closed up, sort of like it had that time when he was eight and a bee stung him and he went into anaphylactic shock.

"What was that?" Inui said. "You like cheese?"

Kaidoh's face got all hot and prickly and he looked down at Inui's shoes. "No, senpai, I--"

"You don't like cheese? Kaidoh, I have to tell you that according to my data there is a 96% probability that you like cheese."

"No, I like cheese," Kaidoh said, "but that's not what I meant." This was getting all tangled up and confused. "But I also like..." And then mouth dried right up.

"You like Katamari Damacy? I play that all the time. In fact, I stayed up until 3 AM last night because I was doing so well and I just couldn't quit. I know this great website with strategy tips that I could give you the link to. Sometimes when I'm walking to school, I think that I'm still in the game and I run into things trying to roll them up. Does that ever happen to--"

"You!" Kaidoh yelled. He grabbed Inui by the shoulders and shook him. "I like you!" He was pleased that he had finally got the words out. But then he realised what he had done. He would have to apologize a bunch of times, then run off. He dropped his arms and moved back so he would have enough room to bow without banging into Inui. "I--"

"--like you too."

Kaidoh stopped half-way through his bow and looked up at Inui. There was a tear trickling down Inui's cheek from behind his glasses. And he had a smile on his face, not the kind of frightening smile he sometimes got when he was handing out his juice to people, but a soft smile, a happy smile.

"I like you too," Inui said again and there was a sort of explosion inside of Kaidoh, like fireworks going off in all colours, and he smiled back at Inui.

And then Inui kissed him. They were still in the park and anyone could come along and see them but Kaidoh didn't care. Being kissed by Inui was the most amazingly magical experience of his life, except for when Inui put his tongue in Kaidoh's mouth, which was kind of gross.

When Kaidoh went home after training, he wondered if it was really just all a misunderstanding but then he got an email from Inui with about three pages of super-embarrassing love talk and also the URL to the Katamari Damacy site. Kaidoh printed out the email and slept with it crumpled up in his hand. And he asked his mom to buy him Katamari Damacy.

In the morning, Kaidoh went to school and Inui gave him a sweet good morning kiss without any tongue and told him that they would both work very hard and become tennis pros and live together and adopt three children and be in love forever. Kaidoh blushed and hugged Inui-senpai tight.

They both worked very hard at tennis and went on lots of dates and Kaidoh got even better at Katamari Damacy than Inui. Kaidoh even started to like tongue kissing after a while. And they were very, very happy and Kaidoh had no problems at all.

Until he started having those dreams about Momoshiro.

I should be off packing, but, OMG, so cute. I'm giggling hysterically, and I don't think it's from sleep deprivation.

"You don't like cheese? Kaidoh, I have to tell you that according to my data there is a 96% probability that you like cheese."

Oh, Inui.

[prillalar]

If Inui says you like cheese, then you probably like cheese. I'm glad this made you giggle. :)

[akatonbo.livejournal.com]

I've never met a cheese I didn't like.

*SCREAMS* AHAHAHAHAHA. HE SO WOULD, too. Ahahaha, my ex-housemates and *their* housemates are so addicted to Katamari Damacy and you just KNOW Inui would be all over that. Ahahahaha, this is so awesome. Poor Kaidoh and his special magnetized feelings!!!! ♥!

And it's a good thing that you depicted Inui's single tear so beautifully, because he will need to make very good use of it after Kaidoh leaves him for Momo. BWAH.

[prillalar]

Poor Kaidoh, having inappropriate special feelings for such a total game-addicted DORK! *g* My theory is that all through middle school and high school, Kaidohh bounces back and forth between Inui and Momo, with perhaps a two month period where Fuji steals him away.

[insaneneko.livejournal.com]

Even though I don't read InuKai, I couldn't help but click on the lj cut as it read "Look on my fluff, ye mighty, and despair!" And boy am I glad I did. I feel like flailing...

*flails*

And throwing my favorite lines at you with no commentary or explanation...

Inui telling Kaidoh about aerobic and anaerobic exercise in such a low and gentle voice.

"You!" Kaidoh yelled. He grabbed Inui by the shoulders and shook him. "I like you!"

Being kissed by Inui was the most amazingly magical experience of his life, except for when Inui put his tongue in Kaidoh's mouth, which was kind of gross. (Last bit, of course)

he got an email from Inui with about three pages of super-embarrassing love talk and also the URL to the Katamari Damacy site (trust Inui to not forget the link!)

Kaidoh even started to like tongue kissing after a while. (awwwww)

Until he started having those dreams about Momoshiro. (bwahahahaha!)

(Okay, so I lied and made comments. I couldn't help it.)

[prillalar]

Hee! Your flailing is so cute. :)

Inui telling Kaidoh about aerobic and anaerobic exercise in such a low and gentle voice.

I secretly like that whole line in a non-ironic way.

[insaneneko.livejournal.com]

Actually, so do I. It's really sweet, in that dorky Inui and Kaidoh way.

[disutansu.livejournal.com]

Inui, I love you and your uber random dorkiness. And Kaidoh, I love you and your directness to any problem. It all works out! And just what is it about the game that is so addicting? *must find out someday when she buys it*

I sense a sequel... an angsty sequel where Inui is betrayed about Kaidoh's new feelings about Momoshiro and everything goes downhill Or it could just work at as a threeso-- *bricked*

Yesh, Ignore me. >.>

[prillalar]

They are both so adorkable. :) Maybe Inui won't notice Kaidoh going off with Momo because that's the day that We ♥ Katamari is released and Inui doesn't emerge from his game-haze for two weeks.

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

"You don't like cheese? Kaidoh, I have to tell you that according to my data there is a 96% probability that you like cheese."

*rolls around on the floor* XDDD

[prillalar]

You know Inui's data never lies!

[heart-of-butter.livejournal.com]

See, this is what happens when nobody posts an Inukai fluff fic in the comm for a while. :) You just have to go all-out to make up for lost WAFF-ing.

Being kissed by Inui was the most amazingly magical experience of his life, except for when Inui put his tongue in Kaidoh's mouth, which was kind of gross.

I love the nice dose of reality, there. Tongue kissing is always gross the first dozen times; I'm glad you made note of that. And the Katamari nod makes me give you snaps. (((snaps))

[prillalar]

I just wasn't able to restrain myself. *g* And yay for snaps!

[histoirede.livejournal.com]

Have I already said how much I worship you ?

[prillalar]

Aw, thanks, sweetie. :)

My report on Hal's Fluffy InuKai Story by Hal by cellia

[cellia.livejournal.com]

he felt like Inui was wearing an undershirt made out of magnets and Kaidoh was wearing one made out of metal and the magnets were pulling the metal

heh. metaphors.

I love the style tone of this. (Especially this line: But then he realised what he had done. He would have to apologize a bunch of times, then run off.) It's almost meta in its ringing of the changes and your simple style amped up to almost children's book level parody. And that's what makes the last line so funny and killer instead of it breaking my heart. :) (hm, has there ever been a Momo vs Inui duke-'em-out fic for Kaidoh? Must scour ff.net)

hee. The title! "Hal's Fluffy InuKai Story" by Hal. I cannot stop grinning. :)

Hal's Responst to My report on Hal's Fluffy InuKai Story by Hal by cellia by Hal

[prillalar]

It cheered me up so much to write this. I'm glad it cheered you too. :) I wish I could get away with using this style more often -- it's very fun.

I don't think I've seen an all-out Inui vs Momo story -- there should totally be one. I'd be scared to be Momo in that case, though. *g*

[xsmoonshine.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha. So cute. Thank you so much, I needed this fluff after all the yule stress. =)

[prillalar]

I'm glad it helped with your stress! It really worked wonders on mine. :)

[trinityhelix.livejournal.com]

oh HAL. hal hal hal.

*dies*

you kill me dead every. single. time.

this was awesome. XDDDD thank you so much.

[prillalar]

Aw, thanks, honey. :) And the dancing banana! Whee!

[laylah.livejournal.com]

When Kaidoh went home after training, he wondered if it was really just all a misunderstanding but then he got an email from Inui with about three pages of super-embarrassing love talk and also the URL to the Katamari Damacy site. Kaidoh printed out the email and slept with it crumpled up in his hand. And he asked his mom to buy him Katamari Damacy.

I defy even Inui to come up with an equation that can express how *adorable* that is.

Hooray for celebrating Yuletide completion with fic. ^_^

[prillalar]

Hee! I've been thinking a lot lately about the insane sappy in-love-ness that we feel at that age (well, at other ages too *g*). They are both such sweet boys.

Hooray for celebrating Yuletide completion with fic.

There's something illogical about the concept, but it sure made me feel better!

[akatonbo.livejournal.com]

Hooray for fluff! Other people have said the things I would have said, were I capable of meaningful feedback right now, better than I would have said them. But silly fluff is exactly what one needs after finishing challenge fic.

[prillalar]

*laugh* Fluff does not require meaningful feedback at any time. :) "Hooray for fluff!" is perfect.

My brain is so dead now! I'm trying to brainstorm a plot for the longer story I want to start over the holidays and it's just not working. Maybe if I spend the whole day lying on the couch watching toku that will help.

[chzbrgr-of-doom.livejournal.com]

XDXDXDXD oh, this gave me the giggles. ♥

[prillalar]

Yay for giggles!

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, last line. :D I adore you.

But Katamari Damancy is fun! And, yeah, Inui would be right up in there with the three page love notes and links to helpful data-filled websites.

[prillalar]

Hee! I don't think Kaidoh has yet figured out why Momoshiro makes him so *annoyed* all the time.

[meemobunny.livejournal.com]

the whole style of this fic gives me the giggles, but what really does me in are the metaphors. ^0^ oh, those metaphors<3 (magnetic and metal undershirts indeed!) your kaidoh and inui are simply the cutest things ever~

[prillalar]

Thanks so much! The metaphors were really fun to think up.

[eternalsayonara.livejournal.com]

You do fluff so well. ^_^

Kaidoh printed out the email and slept with it crumpled up in his hand.

*melts*

In the morning, Kaidoh went to school and Inui gave him a sweet good morning kiss without any tongue and told him that they would both work very hard and become tennis pros and live together and adopt three children and be in love forever.

Superdork!Inui to the rescue. But of course that's exactly what Kaidoh needs. ^_~

[prillalar]

I love them when they're fluffy, I love them when they're not. :) Inui's pretty optimistic, but maybe he'll turn out to be right. *g* Thank you for your comment!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_shuuki/]

i hope you don't mind that i'm commenting on one of your older inukai instead of new but i just had to point this out..
was that magnetizing feeling kaidoh mentioned supposed to be in anyway related to inui trying to katamari things in real life? XDDD

i love all your inukai hal~ they make me want to cry and laugh. and i end up being more in love with inukai haha. =] ♥
