I don't know how to take that :/

Do you really like the filler better then the plot? (I mean this fic is pretty much nothing but filler, but still...)

I do like the plot, I just enjoy reading some of the filler chapters more. Like the catnip chapter and the chapter where Netto dyed Enzan's hair. I wouldn't want so much of them that they appeared to be your priority, though.

It might be just me, but the last wo chapters seem kinda... jumpy.
"Okay let's go home! Okay let's go on a mission! Okay it was a trap let's go to headquarters! Okay we have a new nission, oh no there's a new evil group oh-no-there's-the-lady-thatwantstokillus..."
And it was annoying not knowing where they were going, just out of the blue: MISSION! FACTORY! EXPLOSION! Rockman says he hasn't read his e-mail yet, so why didn't he do it in the car a nd clarify for the reader...? Eeh.
BUT! Nonetheless, veeery good as always. I adore protective Enzan, so cuuute. It counts as semi-fluff, so you still got your quota in. ^_^

[Neko]

I needed a plot.

I'm aiming to end this fic, I'm sorry but it really needs to end @_@

So sorry if it's jumpy but I can't help it.

Things will smooth over soon, I'm just aiming for an end in sight.

*I'm revising the chapter. I re-read it and hated it >.<*

I really need a beta reader.

Netto made his way back to Enzan’s mansion slowly, mulling over what had just happened.

“Think we can trust Delilah?” Rockman asked.

Netto shook his head, “I don’t know,” he said. “What do you think?”

“I asked first,” Rockman said.

Netto sighed, “I want to believe her.” He thought silently for a few minutes, “Yeah, I think we can trust her.”

Rockman nodded, “I agree. She doesn’t seem to be the kind of person to go back on her word.”

“So we won’t tell Enzan?” Netto asked.

Rockman nodded vigorously, “Not yet.”

“He’d probably ban me from ever going outside again,” Netto said dryly.

Rockman laughed, “Probably not,” he agreed.

They talked about net battling techniques the rest of the way to Enzan’s house. When the large building loomed into view both of them sighed at the same time.

“He’s going to guess something happened as soon as we walk in, isn’t he?” Netto asked.

Rockman nodded, “Probably. At the very least he will ask what we did today.”

Netto made a face, “He like a mom.”

Rockman laughed, “You better not tell him that.”

Netto smiled and walked up to the door, “Don’t worry. When I want to die I’ll say that.” Netto opened the door and walked inside the mansion.

“Hello?” Rockman called out.

“In here!” Enzan called from the living room. Netto went into the living room to find Enzan sprawled across the couch, very un-Enzan like.

“You okay?” Netto asked tentatively.

“No,” Enzan grunted.

“What’s wrong?” Netto asked, sitting next to Enzan on the couch.

“Ever since you left the Net Police because of you current,” Enzan paused. “Issues, there have been a lot of missions.”

Netto frowned, “Maybe I…”

“Don’t finish that,” Enzan said. “You do not need to be out anymore then you already are. Much less in the open around people who know you.”

/We’re not mentioning Delilah,/ Netto said to Rockman.

/Nope,/ Rockman agreed.

“Well, if you’re so stressed then maybe you need help of some kind,” Netto suggested.

Enzan raised his eyebrow, “You really care that much? That’s rare.”

Netto blushed and looked away, “Not really, you just work too much. It makes you less fun to be around.”

Blues smiled and Rockman caught it. “Rough day?” he asked quietly.

“Try rough week,” Blues said.

“Crabby?” Rockman asked.

“Let’s put it this way, his attitude is like Netto-kun just waking up, only all day,” Blues replied.

“Ouch,” Rockman said.

“Come on Enzan, this pace is going to kill you,” Netto said, genuinely worried.

Enzan shrugged. “I don’t care, I’ve handled worse.”

Netto put his ears back and pinned Enzan to the couch. “So what!” he said. “You can’t laugh it off like you’re okay. Want to know why you got sick? It’s because you do nothing but work!”

“He’s probably right,” Blues muttered.

Enzan pushed Netto off of him and glared at the brunette. “I can do whatever I damn well please. I don’t need someone telling me how to live my life.”

“Yes you do!” Netto hissed. “You think I live dangerously. You should look at the way you live from an outside view; if I did half the things you did would you yell at me?”

Enzan looked startled. He thought about it and agreed with Netto mentally, however he was not going to loose this argument. “No, because what I do is for the better of other people.”

“Really? If that’s so, then let me go on a mission. That’s for the better of other people as well,” Netto said crossing his arms.

Enzan opened his mouth and gaped like a fish.

“My god, Netto-kun won an argument, against Enzan-san of all people,” Rockman said to blues.

Blues smiled sadly, “I saw this one coming from a mile away.”

Rockman nodded, “He kinda did walk into it, didn’t he.”

Enzan looked annoyed, “Listen, that’s different…” he said.

“How!” Netto asked before he could finish.

“Because, I don’t need a babysitter, unlike you!” Enzan yelled.

Netto looked at him with a brief hurt expression in his eyes. “Fine, do whatever the hell you want. I’m going upstairs,” he said and walked out of the room.

“Way to go Enzan-sama,” Blues said to his operator.

“I didn’t mean it like that…” he said.

“Enzan-san, Netto-kun isn’t one to take insults like that lightly. Maybe you should apologize?” Rockman suggested gently.

Enzan’s eyes hardened and he crossed his arms. “Like I would ever apologize to him,” he said.

Rockman shrugged, “Suit yourself.”

Blues put his hand on Rockman’s shoulder. “Maybe we should leave for a little while,” he said silently.

“But they’ll kill each other!” Rockman answered.

Blues shook his head, “Trust me, they need to be alone.”

Rockman looked at Blues’ face and sighed. “I guess you’re right.”

Blues smiled and the two navi’s left the house to let their operators sort out their problems.

Netto had flung himself on his bed and he waited for his brother to come console him. Rockman never came and Netto was even more hurt then he was before. Didn’t his navi care?

He flipped onto his back and stared at the ceiling. “Stupid Enzan,” he muttered.

It’s not like the jerk was worth his thoughts anyway. Right?

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Enzan lay on the couch with his arm over his eyes. He knew he hurt Netto when he said that, but it was true, right? Why should he apologize for simply stating the truth?

Besides, he had said much meaner things to other people. It wasn’t like being rude was new for him.

But, those people didn’t matter.

Netto did.

He sat up cursing himself, as much as he hated to admit it, the younger boy mattered to him very much.

“Curse my conscience,” he said.

Enzan found Netto lying on his bed muttering to himself. The one thing he could make out was, “That stupid Enzan.”

“I’m not that bad, am I?” Enzan asked, coming into the room.

Netto sat up, startled. “E-enzan!” Then his expression darkened. “What are you doing here?”

Enzan gave him a crooked smile. “I guess I deserved that.”

Netto glared at him and flopped back on his bed. “Here to babysit me?”

Enzan winced, Netto really was hurt by that remark. “Sorry about that.”

Netto’s ears flipped to Enzan’s voice. “Does my hearing deceive me?” he asked sarcastically. “Is the almighty Enzan-sama apologizing?”

Enzan glared at Netto. “Hey, I came up here to apologize. I’m trying to be nice!”

“You’re not just doing what Rockman and Blues told you to?” Netto asked a little surprised.

“No, I haven’t seen them since the argument,” Enzan replied.

Netto sat up and Enzan joined him on the bed. “So, you really mean it?” Netto asked.

Enzan nodded, “Of course I mean it. You mean a lot to me, Netto.”

Netto gave him a goofy smile, “Really?”

Enzan rolled his eyes, “Yes.”

“Really really?” Netto giggled.

Enzan sighed and pulled Netto into his lap and started to play with his ears. “Really really, now will you shut up about it?”

Netto leaned into Enzan touch, purring. “Sorry, I’m just getting over the shock that you actually apologized on your own.”

“You’re worth it,” Enzan said.

“Really?”

“Shut up.”

~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry for the double post. But this chapter is SO much better :D

Aww, feel the love.

Awww....this is very cute! And I'd be glad to beta read for you if you'd like.

[Neko]

The routine of normalcy returned to the household for a few precious days. Enzan went to work, Netto stayed home. Rockman listened to Netto complain and in turn he complained to Blues who in the end tried to make things as fair as he possibly could.

It wasn’t exactly the ideal way of life but it was enough that it let Enzan and Netto mull over their ever growing emotions. Rockman and Blues were definitely more in tune to what was going on, but that was always the case so it didn’t bother them all that much. What was annoying was when it seemed that the two would have nothing to do with each other just for the sake of an argument, which they had been having a lot of lately.

“Can’t they just not argue, for one day,” Rockman sighed to Blues one night.

“Rockman, it’s in their personality to argue. I think it’s why they became friends,” Blues said with a hint of a smile.

Rockman crossed his arms. “But it’s getting really annoying,” he said exsperatedly.

Blues frowned. “You’re not this stressed very often Rockman, what’s wrong?”

“Netto-kun,” Rockman said darkly.

Blues raised an unseen eyebrow.

“Don’t misunderstand, he’s not doing it on purpose, but…” Rockman tried to explain it.

“His thoughts?” Blues asked.

“Yes and no. More so his emotions. I can tell when he’s upset, sad, scared, or really if he has an extreme emotion then I can feel it. Same goes with him for me, it’s kinda like our thoughts but not really,” Rockman said.

“So, you can sense his emotions for Enzan?” Blues asked, a little surprised.

“Kinda,” Rockman said. “I mean it’s not like I’m hypersensitive to him. It’s just when he’s really upset or really happy. Most of the time it’s fine,” Rockman said.

“So when they argue,” Blues mused. “Netto-kun gets really upset and you have to help calm him down or you feel it too,”

Rockman nodded. “It’s not quite that black and white, but it’s close enough.”

“That’s what the link does?” Blues asked.

“That, and it saves our lives when we fight,” Rockman smiled.

“Ah,” Blues said. “Well, I can’t really tell you anything but to wait it out, maybe something will happen soon that will calm them down.”

“I hope so,” Rockman sighed.

“Hey, Rockman, can I ask you something?” Blues said suddenly.

“Aside from the question you just asked me?” Rockman smiled. “Sure.”

“Do you ever regret having the link?” he asked.

Rockman shook his head. “No, first of all it wasn’t my decision and it was made to keep me alive. I can’t regret something that was done to save my life. Second of all, I like being close to Netto-kun in some way. Because he’s human and I’m a navi we can’t really be together. I guess the link is as close as we’ll get.”

Blues nodded, “That makes sense. You’re very calm about all of this.”

“You mean all of the arguing?” Rockman asked.

Blues nodded.

“No so much calm as hiding it well.”

“Then why don’t you tell Netto-kun?” Blues asked. “I’m sure he would understand.”

Rockman shook his head. “No, I don’t want to put that kind of guilt on him. He doesn’t even realize he’s doing it and he has enough problems right now.”

“Who has problems?” Netto asked from the com link.

Rockman and Blues jumped at the intrusion. Netto smiled slyly. “Oh, am I intruding on something?”

“Don’t be silly Netto-kun,” Rockman said. “We’re talking about how annoying you and Enzan get when you argue.”

Netto stuck his tongue out at them and crossed his arms. “He starts it.”

Rockman sighed. “Netto-kun, no one starts anything. You two just argue. It’s the way you talk for some reason.”

“Well if he would just stop being so,” Netto searched for the right word. “Annoying, then maybe I wouldn’t be so…”

“Annoying?” Rockman asked.

“Shut up,” Netto muttered.

“Netto-kun, if Enzan-sama is being as annoying as you say then maybe you should just try and talk to him instead of picking a fight,” Blues said.

“I don’t pick fights with Enzan…” Netto said.

“Yes you do,” Rockman and Blues retorted.

“And he does the same with you,” Rockman pointed out.

“Whatever,” Netto said and walked away from the monitor.

“Think he’ll listen?” Rockman asked.

“Who knows? Maybe Enzan-sama has already come to the conclusion himself.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Netto walked down the halls muttering to himself. He didn’t pick fights with Enzan, he just said stupid stuff that makes him angry.

‘Then why are you the first one to talk most of the time,’ a tiny voice in his head asked him.

Netto brushed that thought away and walked towards his room. Before he could make it Enzan caught up with him and put his hand on his shoulder. “Netto, we need to talk,” Enzan said.

“I don’t feel like it,” Netto said and walked towards the door.

Enzan sighed and grabbed Netto’s tail making the smaller boy spin around and glare at Enzan.

“What the hell was that for?” he yelled.

“I want to talk. Were you aware that you’re driving your brother insane by being mad at me all the time?” Enzan asked heatedly.

Netto blinked, “N-no… who told you that?”

“Rockman did, well, he told Blues and I happened to overhear,” Enzan said.

“You were eavesdropping,” Netto said flatly.

“You’d be amazed at what our navi’s tell each other about us,” Enzan said.

“What do you mean by I’m driving him crazy?” Netto asked.

“I mean, when you’re mad at me he feels it. Netto, arguing like this isn’t being fair to our navis. I just want to know here and now, what’s wrong?”

Netto’s eyes flashed angrily. “Enzan, I know you tell me that you don’t want to ruin our friendship or whatever the hell we have, but you have to back off. I want to try and do whatever I possibly can while this stupid virus is out and you’re making that very difficult. I can’t go on missions, I can’t hang out with my friends, I’m even starting to miss school.”

“Is that what’s been bugging you?” Enzan asked.

“For only the past month, yes,” Netto said.

Enzan sighed. “Would it make you feel better if I let you take a mission?” he asked.

Netto’s eyes widened. “Really?” he asked.

Enzan grimaced and nodded against his better judgment. “But only if I’m with you,” he added quickly.

“Yay!” Netto cheered and glomped Enzan.

Enzan looked kindly at the younger boy in his arms. “I take that as a yes?” he asked.

Netto nodded happily and Enzan relaxed for the first time in days. “Good,” he said.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

With all disagreements aside the four decided to have a movie night in celebration. “What are we gonna watch?” Netto asked.

“Well, that remains to be seen,” Enzan replied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

YES! It's a cheap ploy to get reviews!

Tell me what movie you want them to watch and if I've seen it then they'll watch it. *depending on majority*

Great chapter as always Neko! keep up the great writing!!!!!

[Neko]

“Why are we watching the second movie?” Netto asked as Enzan put ‘Two Towers’ into the DVD slot.

“Because I like it,” he said.

“Oh,” Netto replied and leaned back into the couch as the movie started. “What’s this one about?”

Enzan rolled his eyes. “It’s the transition movie. It sets up for everything that happens in the third movie and it has more dialogue then fighting.”

Blues smiled, “Enzan-sama just liked the Ents,” he whispered to Rockman.

Rockman hid a smile behind his hand.

The movie started and soon everyone was captured in the special effects and overall coolness of the movie.

When the orcs came up on the screen Netto jumped and Enzan gave him an amused look. “Scared?” he asked.

“Surprised,” Netto muttered as he crossed his arms.

“I’m sure,” Enzan smirked.

The movie progressed and Netto became very sleepy. Sitting still for three hours wasn’t something he normally willingly did. However Enzan seemed to be enjoying himself and that’s all that really mattered.

Enzan noticed Netto’s yawning and smiled. “Tired?”

“No,” Netto said.

“Then why are you yawning?” he asked.

Netto didn’t have an answer to that and he didn’t bother to make one up.

Enzan smirked and watched and Aragon made yet another amazing entrance onto the movie.

Netto didn’t last to the end of the movie and Enzan didn’t expect him to. In fact he was planning on the brunette to fall asleep.

“Nothing like a good movie,” he murmured.

“Enzan-sama?” Blues asked.

“Yes Blues?”

“What are you planning to do?” he asked.

“Put Netto in bed and work for a bit. Then tomorrow I’ll see about an assignment,” he sighed.

Rockman smiled, “He’ll like that.”

Enzan leaned back in the couch to finish the movie. “I’m sure he will,” he said.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

The next morning Netto woke up sprawled on the couch. His navi saw him wake up and hailed him from the monitor. “Morning Netto-kun.”

“Morning?” he asked sleepily.

“You fell asleep while watching the movie,” Rockman said.

Netto sat up and yawned. “Where’s Enzan?” he asked.

“He left for work about two hours ago,” Rockman said.

“Oh,” Netto replied, sounding a little disappointed.

“Hey, you still have me,” Rockman said in a joking voice.

Netto laughed, “Yeah, I know. What do you want to do?”

“I want you to do your homework,” Rockman said.

Netto winced, “I walked into that one.”

Rockman nodded, “Yes, yes you did. Now, let’s finish it before Enzan gets back. Unless you want him to proofread it like last time.”

Netto shuddered, “No thanks. He’s worse then you!”

Rockman nodded, “I know. So, do it now or wait till later, your choice.”

Netto sighed, “Might as well get it over with.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Enzan continued to relay the latest stock trends into his computer with the help of Blues. The day wasn’t exactly going by quickly and he couldn’t think of anything but being home.

“Tired Enzan-sama?” Blues asked.

“No,” Enzan said.

“Are you hungry?” Blues asked, who noticed his lack of breakfast that morning.

“Not really,” Enzan yawned. “I just want to get this over with.”

“Yes, Enzan-sama,” Blues replied and sent the next file to the e-mail that was specified on the document. Then he made his own e-mail, to Rockman.

“Blues?” Enzan asked suddenly.

“Yes Enzan-sama?” Blues replied, hoping that Enzan didn’t catch him.

“What do you think of Netto and Rockman at this point?” he mused.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, I don’t know,” Enzan sighed. “I just seems sometimes I think…”

“Yes?” Blues asked.

“I don’t know,” Enzan sighed. “I don’t know what to think anymore.”

“Enzan-sama?”

“Yes, Blues?”

“Maybe you should talk to Netto-kun and not me,” he said softly.

“Who said this was about Netto?” Enzan asked a little to quickly.

“Who said it wasn’t?” Blues replied.

Enzan stopped typing and groaned. “Ever since Valentines Day…” he started.

“Yes?” Blues pressed. He didn’t know what happened but he suspected something.

“I don’t know, I just don’t know how to say it,” he said.

“Again, maybe you should be talking to Netto-kun.”

Enzan looked at the bright computer screen thoughtfully. “Maybe I should.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

“Netto-kun?” Rockman asked.

“Yeah?” Netto called from the kitchen where he was making himself a sandwich.

“Blues sent us an e-mail,” Rockman answered.

“What’s it say?” Netto asked.

“It says that Enzan went to work without a lunch and he didn’t eat breakfast. Any suggestions?” Rockman replied.

Netto growled. “I go there and kick his butt?”

“Any other suggestions?” Rockman sighed.

“Hold on, I’ll make something. Geez, you’d think after living by himself for four years he’d learn how to take care of himself,” Netto muttered.

“Don’t make anything to complicated, you don’t want to make him sick again,” Rockman said.

“Rockman?”

“Yes Netto-kun?”

“Shut up.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Later that morning Enzan was finishing up one of his project over views when he received a call from his secretary. “Enzan-sama?” she asked.

“Yes?” Enzan asked in a bored voice.

“There’s someone here to see you,” she replied.

“Tell whoever it is I’m busy,” Enzan sighed.

“I will do…” she started but she was cut off by another voice.

“Enzan, get your butt down here,” Netto growled into the receiver.

“NETTO?” Enzan yelled.

“Young man, that’s not a toy. Now Enzan-sama said he’s busy…” she started.

“Netto, you stay right there,” Enzan said into the com. “Don’t move.”

“Yeah, right,” Netto quipped.

Enzan quickly dashed out of his office and into the main hallway where he saw Netto standing there in his baseball cap and hoodie. “You forgot something,” Netto said holding up a lunch knapsack.

Enzan walked over to Netto. “What are you doing here?” he hissed.

“Making sure you don’t get sick again,” Netto hissed back. “Does it ever occur to you that you get sick so easily because you skip two meals?”

“That is none of your concern,” Enzan said.

“Well, it’s Blues’,” Netto replied. “He was worried.”

“E-enzan-sama?” the harried secretary looked from boy to boy with a puzzled look on her face.

Enzan sighed, “It’s all right Jene. He’s my friend.”

Netto smiled at the secretary, “Netto Hikari,” he said holding out his hand. She smiled and hesitantly took his. Netto pulled out his PET, “Oh, and this is my navi Rockman.”

“Nice to meet you,” Rockman said from his PET.

“Likewise,” she said.

“Okay, come on,” Enzan said. He grabbed Netto’s arm and dragged him down the hall. He pulled him into his office and shut the door tightly. “What is the meaning of this?”

“I thought we already explained that,” Netto muttered.

“Not nearly enough Netto. Blues you get out here too,” Enzan snapped.

Netto sighed, “Look Blues sent an e-mail saying you didn’t have any lunch. So Rockman and I made one and came here.”

“So? I could just go to the café across the street!” Enzan said.

Netto glared at him, “You wouldn’t go there and you know it.”

Enzan opened his mouth but no sound came out.

“Enzan-sama, it was for the best,” Blues said.

Netto nodded and smiled. “Yeup, now come on. You need to eat,” he said pressing the box into Enzan’s hands.

Enzan was enjoying the attention given to him by Netto and obliged. “Is anything cooked?” he asked warily.

“No, they’re sandwiches,” Rockman said.

“You two can both be quiet,” Netto said.

Enzan smiled, “You can never be too careful.”

~~~~~~~

Oh my god am I tired. Okay, I'm going to take a nap now.

[May]

Missed so much of this ^^; A very amusing read. I look forward to more~

[Neko]

Enzan took the first sandwich out of the box and chewed on it carefully. “Peanut butter and jelly?” he asked.

Netto blushed, “It was the best I could do on short notice.”

Enzan smiled, “Okay, okay, it’s not that bad.”

Netto stuck out his tongue at the skunk haired boy. “No one is making you eat it you know.”

Enzan nodded, “I know.”

“Enzan-sama, you have a phone call on like three,” Jene’s voice came over the com.

To Netto’s distress Enzan picked up the phone and abandoned his lunch. He started talking very fast in a different language which Netto could tell was Mandarin Chinese.

Blues sighed and Rockman patted his shoulder in a silent effort to comfort him. Sometimes Enzan could be just as thick as Netto. Not in the same way, but the oblivion was still there.

Sighing Enzan hung up the phone and picked up his sandwich thoughtfully. He looked up to see three eyes glaring at him. “What?” he asked.

“You’re on lunch break,” Netto said. “It’s a break. Meaning you don’t work, you take a break and eat.”

“That was a very important phone call, I’ll have you know,” Enzan started but he was interrupted by Jene.

“Enzan-sama?”

“Yes, what is it?”

“You have a phone call on line four.”

Netto glared at him.

Enzan’s finger hovered over the receiver button, then he said, “Tell them I’m on my lunch break.”

“Yes, Enzan-sama.”

“There, not was that so hard?” Netto asked.

Enzan glared at Netto and took a bite out of his sandwich, choosing not to answer.

“I thought so,” Netto smirked.

After Enzan’s half hour long break he returned to work and Netto left the building. Before he did Enzan made him promise to call him once he got home which Netto obliged too half willingly.

“He’s like a babysitter,” Netto muttered on the way home.

“Well, he cares about you,” Rockman said.

Netto sighed. “I know, but he doesn’t have to be so…” he struggled as he searched for the right word.

“Overprotective?” Rockman offered.

Netto nodded, “Yes! Overprotective. He needs to relax a little. A learn how to take care of himself.”

Rockman shrugged, “You don’t always take great care of yourself either, Netto-kun.”

“I don’t work until 2 am and not eat two meals,” Netto retorted.

Rockman shrugged. “Well, you do play video games until 2 am.”

Netto flinched.

“And you put off studying for tests until the night before when you panic and stress out about it.”

Netto’s ears went back under his baseball cap. Which was saying something because they were pretty much pinned in that position to begin with.

“And when you get a new mission from Mejin-san you don’t rest until you’ve completed it.”

“All right! I get it!” Netto said exasperatedly.

Rockman smirked. “And you don’t do your homework.”

“That doesn’t have anything to do with this topic. Besides, I’ve been doing my homework lately,” Netto replied haughtily.

“Only because you’re bored,” Rockman said.

Netto looked to the side and scratched his check. “Well, at least I get it done,” he said sheepishly.

Rockman sighed. “That’s not the point, Netto-kun.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Enzan came home to Netto sprawled out on the couch fast asleep and Rockman in stasis mode in his PET. He sighed and set his empty lunch box and briefcase in the kitchen. He wanted to join Netto but he still had work to do.

“Enzan-sama?” Blues asked.

“Yes?” Enzan replied.

“Maybe you should take a little break. So you don’t get sick again,” the red navi suggested.

Enzan blinked, “Since when the show of concern, Blues?”

Blues coughed embarrassedly. “Well, it was just a suggestion.”

“Do you wish to go see Rockman?” Enzan asked slyly.

“Rockman is currently in stasis mode,” Blues replied.

Enzan blinked, “Oh.” Just once he’d like to trip his navi up.

“But, if it would get you to rest, I wouldn’t mind a stasis cycle myself,” Blues ventured.

“Are you making a suggestion Blues?”

“Only if you wish to take it,” Blues replied.

Enzan smiled, “Fine. Blues, you can rest for now. I think you’re right, we need some rest.”

Blues smiled. “Enzan-sama?”

“Yes, Blues?”

“Netto-kun certainly has changed the way you think,” he smiled.

Enzan pondered this. “Rockman has done the same for you,” he replied.

Blues ducked his head and pixilated from his PET into the area where Rockman was sleeping.

“Enzan giving you a hard time?” Rockman asked sleepily.

“Surprisingly, no,” Blues answered. “Did we wake you?”

Rockman shook his head and lay back down. “No, I heard you come in.”

“You were eavesdropping then,” Blues said.

Rockman smiled, “You could say that.”

Blues lay down next to Rockman. “What did you think?”

“I think, I’m very proud of you for talking to Enzan like that,” Rockman answered.

Blues smiled, “Thank you, Rockman.”

Rockman didn’t answer. He was already fast asleep. Blues smiled and put his arms around Rockman, then went into stasis mode himself. It had been a long day.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Enzan walked into the room where Netto was sprawled out on the couch. He looked adorable when he was asleep and Enzan was no longer afraid to admit it. He went over to the couch and poked Netto in the side until he was half awake.

“Whatzit?” he babbled sleepily.

“Move, I’m going to take a nap too,” Enzan said.

Netto smiled and obliged. “Long day?”

“You could say that,” Enzan murmured and he lay down next to Netto.

Netto immediately snuggled into Enzan’s body. “Did the lunch help?” he asked.

Enzan was at first surprised, then he relaxed and pulled Netto further into his embrace. “Yes, thank you.”

Netto smiled, “Any time.”

Enzan lifted one hand and started to scratch Netto behind his ears. For the first time, Netto didn’t protest, but instead leaned into the touch. “You’re awfully cuddly tonight,” Enzan said.

“It feels good,” Netto sighed.

“Not that you’d ever admit this again,” Enzan smiled.

“Tell anyone about this and you’ll find something really soft and squishy in your bed the next morning,” Netto replied.

Enzan smiled and said, “I won’t then.”

“Good.”

Enzan continued to scratch Netto’s ears and after about five minutes, Netto began to purr. Enzan smiled and felt good that he was the only one who as of yet had made Netto purr. Not that Netto was around anyone else enough to purr, but still, it was a good feeling.

“Netto?” he asked.

“Yesm?” Netto said sleepily.

“Do you like me?”

Netto paused, but continued to purr.

“Netto?”

“Yes,” Netto said.

“Yes, what?”

“Yes, I like you,” he said softly.

Enzan smiled. “Good, because I like you too.”

Netto smiled and snuggled deeper into Enzan’s arms where he feel asleep for the rest of the night.

Enzan stayed awake for a bit longer to listen to Netto purr and ponder their words. He felt very good about himself just then, and he too fell asleep, with his arms around his neko.

*SQUEALS!*

Fluff fluff fluff, ahhhhhh how I loveses it! \o/ Oh, joy.

BTW, I don't think of shounen ai as any different kind of love then soujo ai or just plain ai. Love is love, so there will be no "gay" problems in this fic. I mean, yes it's a problem but this is just a simple love story. Besides, that's a plot point I don't want to touch cause it involves angst, and my angst sucks horribly. Ask Yue.

Netto woke up the next morning on the couch and in the arms of Enzan. It was very comfortable and he was vaguely surprised that he was the first one up. He glanced at the clock and blinked.

“Enzan?” he asked.

“Hmm?” Enzan asked, being pulled from his sleep.

“Do you know what time it is?”

“No… why, what time is it?” Enzan asked.

“11:34,” Netto replied evenly.

Enzan’s eyes flew open and he sat up like a rocket. “What?” he yelled.

“Good morning?” Netto tried.

Enzan cursed silently and ran into the kitchen. Netto sat on the couch looking very dazed and slightly confused.

“Blues!” Enzan yelled. “Blues! Where are you?”

Blues came down into the kitchen monitor. “Yes Enzan-sama?” he asked.

“Why didn’t you wake me up! I’m almost 5 hours late for work!” he growled.

“Enzan-sama…” Blues started.

“I mean, yes I was comfortable but 5 hours is 5 hours. Shuuseki is going to kill me!” Enzan yelled.

Blues sighed, “Your father will not kill you Enzan-sama.” But his plead for logic fell of deaf ears.

“I’ve never been late for anything in my life!” Enzan said.

Netto came into the kitchen. He laughed and Enzan glared at him. “Just what is so funny?” Enzan hissed.

“Enzan, you are aware it’s Sunday, right?” Netto asked.

“Of course I’m… wait, what?” he asked.

“I asked if you knew what time it was because you don’t strike me as one to sleep in till noon,” Netto said while trying to keep a straight face.

“Blues, why didn’t you tell me it was Sunday?” Enzan asked.

“I tried to, Enzan-sama, you were too busy ranting,” Blues said.

Enzan blinked then looked at Netto and Blues who he could tell that both of them were trying not to laugh, or at the very least smile. “I need coffee,” he muttered.

“Yes, Enzan-sama,” Netto said mockingly.

Enzan turned on the water faucet and picked up the sprayer that was used to clean out dishes. It hadn’t been used in years but Enzan found that it still worked quite nicely when he chased Netto out of the kitchen with it.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Once Enzan had his mandatory cup of coffee, he was in a much better mood. And once Netto was dry he was in a better mood but that wasn’t saying much.

“Coffee at noon?” Rockman asked in a quiet voice.

“Enzan-sama just woke up,” Blues said.

“No way,” Rockman’s eyes widened. “He just woke up?”

“That’s what I said,” Blues replied.

“But…” Rockman blinked. “That’s a very un-Enzan-like thing to do,” he said finally.

“I found them asleep together on the couch this morning,” Blues said.

Rockman smiled, “Really?”

Blues nodded.

“It’s about time,” Rockman laughed.

/I heard that,/ Netto said.

/Good, because seriously, it was about time,/ Rockman replied.

Netto grumbled mentally and ignored Rockman’s statement.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Netto yawned and curled back up on the couch and Enzan went upstairs to check his e-mail. He only found to messages which greatly surprised him, then he read the content of the second message and his expression darkened. He stood up from his computer and quickly deleted the e-mail then he went quietly down stairs and tried to sneak out of the house.

“Where are you going?” Netto asked sleepily.

“Out,” Enzan said simply.

Netto sat up, “You wouldn’t have happened to get a new mission, would you?” he asked suspiciously.

“No,” Enzan said rather quickly.

Netto got up and walked over to where Enzan was standing in front of his door. “You know, for being one of the world’s best business men,” Netto said. “You are a horrible liar.”

Blues nodded silently.

Enzan scoffed, “Who said I was lying?”

Netto raised an eyebrow.

Enzan sighed, “It’s a hard mission,” he said. “I don’t think you should take one quite like this.”

Netto’s eyes narrowed, “Enzan we had a deal, you promised I could go on the next mission.”

“But…” Enzan started.

“Enzan-sama,” Blues said quietly from the monitor.

Enzan sighed, “It’s a replicating virus,” he warned.

Netto winced, “Ouch.”

“Told you, do you really want to take this on?” he asked.

Netto nodded, “Since when have I ever backed down from a challenge?”

“Never,” Enzan groaned. “That’s what makes you dangerous.”

“What did you say?” Netto asked.

“Nothing, nothing at all.” Enzan picked up his PET. “If anything happens, we’re coming right back.”

“And we need to be back by five, mama’s coming over,” Rockman reminded them.

Netto’s expression brightened, “Yay! She said she would make meat spaghetti tonight!” Netto cheered and ran out of the door with his PET.

“Wait, Netto!” Enzan called. “You don’t know where it is!”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Enzan finally caught up to Netto and pulled him towards where the virus attack was taking place, in Densan National Bank. Netto looked at the tall building and sighed, “When are the banks never not attacked?” he asked.

“When they don’t have money,” Enzan said dryly.

Rockman sniggered and Netto tired to figure out a way to mentally glare at his twin.

Enzan sighed heavily. “Okay, let’s plug in on the north side and see what we can do.”

“All right!” Netto said happily. “Plug in, Rockman.EXE, transmission!” he yelled and plugged in his PET.

Rockman went into the computer and Blues appeared right behind him. Rockman surveyed the damage, “Level 8 reproductive virus, huh?” he asked.

Blues looked around and nodded heavily. “This might take awhile to get rid of,” he said and summoned a sword. He launched himself into a group of viruses and started to delete them. Rockman followed suit and summoned his buster and started to delete the viruses as well.

“How many do you think there are?” Netto asked.

Enzan shrugged, “With how late we got here, I’d say possibly hundreds.”

Netto groaned.

“You didn’t have to come,” Enzan reminded him.

Netto snorted, “Yeah right.”

“Netto-kun!” a voice came from his PET. Netto looked on the screen and saw that Rockman was surrounded by the virus. “Konguesten,” he yelled, “Slot in!” Rockman slammed his hand palm down on the ground and water sprung up around him at the same time pushing the viruses back. “Elec sword, slot in,” Netto yelled and Rockman deleted the now drenched viruses with the electric based attack.

“Not bad,” Enzan murmured.

“Heh, I’ve missed this,” Netto said.

“Obviously,” Enzan said back.

The two boys caught one another’s eye and smiled then went back to battling the never ending virus.

Three hours later Rockman and Blues were very tired as was the entire Net Police force. Netto was starting to feel Rockman’s fatigue but made sure not to show or say anything that would suggest so lest Enzan become the mother of all mother hens.

There were technically only three viruses left but because of the reproductive viruses nature of reproducing its self, there were three then six then if they weren’t careful twelve making it very difficult to end the battle. Netto groaned and slotted in yet another mini bomb chip. He was starting to run out of those and soon Rockman would have nothing to rely on but his buster.

“Ready, go!” the captain of the special force yelled. All of the team members pulled out a battle chip and slotted it in. They were all spread gun chips and they managed to delete two of the viruses and injure the last one. It tried to escape but Netto and Rockman were too quick.

“Sword battle chip, slot in!” Netto yelled and Rockman sliced the virus clean through.

Commissioner Oda smiled and clapped his hands. “Good job,” he said. Then he went over to Netto and clapped him on the shoulder, “Good to have you back,” he smiled.

Netto gave him a large grin and nodded. It felt good to be battling again, regardless of what Enzan might think.

“All right, we’ve got five minutes to get back if we’re going to meet your mother on time,” Enzan said looking at his watch.

Netto eyes widened and he grabbed his skates. “Then what are you waiting for!” he yelled and took off down the street with Enzan desperately trying to catch up.
