Loneliness and Happiness

By Acuamaine

================================================================ =======

The full moon is rising in the night sky; she's white and candid, like every night. Tonight though, she is shinning much brighter and making it impossible to view the stars. One lone person gazes up at the sky and sighs, sadden that he cannot see his lovely friends. The stars, the one thing he loves more then anything... His stars.

Touma's eyes scan the woods with their shadows and hidden secrets and then looks upward toward the nighttime sky once again. Only a few stars are visible tonight, the moon's light hides the others. There are only a few of them to look down at him to wish him a goodnight and to give him strength.

Sighing heavily, the archer returns to the safety of his room as he quickly looks around. This room, the one that he once shared with his best friend and secret love is now nothing more than four walls. They hold nothing for him but loneliness and sorrow now, a far cry from the joy they once held.

It was several days ago that Seiji had decided to move in with Ryo, 'Our lifestyles just aren't compatible.' Seiji had remarked, trying to justify his decision when questioned but the guys all knew the true reason.

/// It was a month before that, that Touma had spent the day alone while his friends spent the afternoon at the mall. When they had returned, Seiji had gone off in search of his best friend, finding him practicing his archery down by the dock.

"There you are! I've been looking for you for nearly fifty minutes... I was beginning to get a little worried. What are you still doing down here anyway? It's starting to get dark you know." Seiji commented as he drew closer, the smile on his face nearly took Touma's breath away.

"Hey Seiji! Did you have fun today?" Touma marveled at the gracefulness of his friend, even when doing something as simple as walking.

"Yes, I guess I did, now stop answering a question with a question. Why are you still practicing when it's getting too dark to see?" Seiji found it all so odd, Touma always packed it in before nightfall... for safety reasons.

"So it's getting dark, I just feel like practicing." Touma shrugged his shoulders. "Now if you're finished, you can go on up to the house, I'll be in later." Touma turned his attention back to his task, letting an arrow fly and hitting the bulls eye dead on.

"Touma what's wrong? It's obvious that something is bothering you, so talk to me. You know you can tell me anything." Seiji replied, sensing that something was indeed amiss with his friend.///

Bullshit! That's not true! I can't tell you everything, after all look what happened the last time I told you everything? Why did I even say anything, why didn't I just lie to you that time?

/// "I'm fine Seiji, nothing is bothering me. What more do you want?" Touma looked over at him, then wished he hadn't.

"Touma don't you dare lie to me! There is something the matter, I can tell just by the look in your eyes." Seiji sighed; Touma could be so headstrong at times. "You say that you're fine but considering the way you've been the past few days... It's obvious that something is bothering you." Seiji stepped a little closer and spoke softer. "Why won't you tell me? Maybe I can help you?"

"It's nothing. Just that there's this person... I...I... I don't know what to do..." Touma's voice trailed off and he lowered his head, fearing that Seiji would somehow see what was lying behind his eyes.

Seiji quickly grabbed Touma by the shoulders and forced him to sit down with him. "Don't tell me that our bookworm has fallen for someone? Who is it?" Seiji looked at him trying to figure out who it could be.

"W... What? No, I... I don't think so? I... well ... maybe..." Touma's cheeks turned a shade of red that almost matched the armor of Rekka and he quickly turned his head.

"Aha! I knew it! So who is she? Anyone I know? Do you want help from me?" Seiji rapid fired questions at his friend. "Let me know what I can do to help you, I want to help."

"She? Her? Oh I... I don't t...that I should s...say anything e... else." Touma stuttered and blushed even more. "Look it's dark we really should get inside..." Touma got up and quickly began to gather up his arrows and placed them back into his quiver.

Picking that and his bow up he started for the house only to have Seiji grab him by the wrist and pulled him back so that they were face to face.

"You're not going anywhere until you talk to me. If it's not a girl then what is it?" Seiji looked at him compassionately. "There is something bothering you and I want to know what it is! Just tell me Tou... Allow me to help you." Seiji pleaded feeling concerned and worried about his friend and fellow trooper.

"Seiji? If you want to know what's bothering me, fine! I just worry about what it'll do to you, the others our friendship and... And... Oh I don't KNOW?" Touma turned to face the lake, feeling frustrated and unsure.

Seiji put his hands on Touma's shoulders and made him turn around to face him. "Touma our friendship is safe; there's nothing you could say that could break that. Please tell me what's wrong so I can help you. You're my best friend and it bothers me to see you like this." Seiji felt helpless not knowing just what it was that had Touma so bent out of shape. He wanted to help, but until the archer told him what it was that was bothering him, he was powerless to do anything.

Touma let out a long sigh, hoping he wasn't making a mistake by confessing but Seiji was being persistent and he knew Seiji wouldn't ease up until he did say something. "I think I've... fallen... in love with someone." Touma quickly turned his back to the swordsman and began to tremble, hoping he had done the right thing.

"So who is it? Who's the lucky girl?" Seiji asked as he stood behind Touma and tried to rub the tension out of the archer's shoulders. "You can tell me who she is and if you want to keep it from the guys, I'll respect that. Your secret is safe with me."

"That's just it Seiji...." Touma sighed and then took a deep breath. Here goes nothing... "I think I've fallen in l... love w... with a b... boy, n... not a g... girl." Quickly he shut his eyes and waited... ///
