Chapter 12

 

Everything was different now. It was so different that it scared him shitless. Mu was being distant and cold and Shiryu didn't know what to do anymore. Only two days had passed by since the kissing incident (it was now Sunday) and even though Mu had `forgiven' him, his lavender haired lover still remained distant. When he had tried to touch him, Mu would cleverly avoid his touch. Kissing was out of the question.

 

Maybe he felt he was being paranoid but he couldn't help but think that Mu was still angry at him. He could see it clearly sometimes when Mu looked at him, the anger present in those gorgeous teal eyes.

 

And now they sat together on Mu's sofa. It was the usual Sunday routine, but this Sunday was very different from the rest. Mu sat at the far end of the sofa, engrossed in a thick hard covered book, while Shiryu sat at the other end, staring at Mu from time to time.

 

“Mu…do you want to…” Shiryu trailed off as his turned his face away in embarrassment. This was also part of the routine. Shiryu would stutter out a `hey, can we be together for a while?' and Mu would look at him with heavy lidded lust filled eyes and then he'd shift himself around until he sat beside the younger boy, and then they would make-out for the entire afternoon.

 

“I'm reading.” Mu said coldly. Shiryu stared down at his lap in frustration. Frustration quickly turned into anger and before he knew it, he had knocked the book from Mu's hands. Mu stared at the coffee table before them with dead eyes. “How dull.” He remarked as he rose from the sofa. He bent over to pick the book up from the ground but a foot quickly kicked it away.

 

“What the hell's wrong with you Mu? What did I do wrong?” Shiryu asked with wide eyes. Mu did not look at him as he rose but Shiryu could just imagine the look on his face. “Why are you treating me like this?”

 

“Kids lately…have no respect for their elders.” Mu said as he walked away from his lover. His ponytail swung as he walked away, the lavender strands greatly contrasting against the navy blue shirt he wore.

 

“Oi! I'm talking to you!” Shiryu yelled as he grabbed a hold of the dark material of Mu's shirt. Mu stopped as Shiryu grabbed fistfuls of his shirt roughly. “Are you still angry at me?” He asked softly. He pressed his cheek against Mu's broad strong back as he fought to regain control of himself. “I only love you Mu.”

 

“Do not say that!” Mu yelled as he jerked away. “Do not say that to me!”

 

“Why?”

 

“You don't mean that. You shouldn't say things you don't mean Shiryu. It's bad manners.” He gave him a side way glance before walking off. “Go home.”

 

“No…I won't leave here until you explain yourself to me!” Shiryu cried as he darted towards Mu. Mu grabbed him by his shoulders and shook him roughly. It surprised Shiryu greatly, how rough Mu was handling him. Where had the gentle and kind Mu gone?

 

“How…how could you think things would be resolved so soon after what happened? You think we'd kiss and hug and things would be fine?”

 

“Mu.”

 

“You kissed him, Shiryu. Even if you claim that you don't like him like that, even when you knew it would cause him more pain, even when you haven't completely given yourself to me, you kissed him!” Mu yelled. “I love only you Shiryu! I want us to be together but you do not give me your entire heart. I can't work with just a piece. I'm selfish. I want it all.”

 

“But Seiya is my best friend! What was I supposed to do? Are you saying I shouldn't have even tried?”

 

“A different kind of attempt should have been made!”

 

“I didn't mean that kiss Mu!”

 

“Then you shouldn't have done it!” Mu roared. Shiryu stared at him in shock. He had never seen Mu so pissed off before. “You know, Aldebaran has always loved me.” Mu said softly.

 

“What does that have to do with anything?” Shiryu replied angrily.

 

“But because I never liked him the same, I never lead him on. I tried my best not to mislead him. I knew how it felt, to love someone but they didn't feel the same way.”

 

“Mu…”

 

“I always knew that he liked me. I could tell right away.” He lowered his teal eyes before narrowing them at Shiryu. “You knew all along, that he loved you. You knew.”

 

“…”

 

“Yet you lead him on, you smiled sweetly at him, you acted like you were his lover most times. You began a relationship with me but continued with your cruelty anyway.”

 

“…”

 

“It's cruel, too cruel.”

 

“No, I always loved you. I always thought only of you! He knew I liked you.” Shiryu replied in his defense.

 

“Wasn't that the cruelest part? You knew how he felt yet you flaunted your so-called love before him?”

 

“…”

 

“That child, he's like I was, like Aldebaran was. Now he's all broken inside.” Mu said softly. “I don't know if it makes me strange, but that's sadder than what you've done to me.”

 

“…” He could say nothing as Mu stood before him, his heart bared for the entire world to see. He allowed the tears to stream down his face. He didn't care. He felt like dying. How could he have been so cruel? He did not understand before. He thought he could remain clueless in his false bliss. He thought things could remain the same.

 

“Please go home.” Mu said softly as he turned to walk away once again.

 

Shiryu gritted his teeth as he held back a sob. Why did his dream world have to come crashing down? Couldn't he remain in his paradise forever? He wiped at his face as he walked towards the door.

 

“Shiryu.” Mu called. Shiryu stopped in front the door. “I will always love you. I will wait for you, even until I fade away. I will wait for your love to finally reach me. If it is your love, I'll wait forever.” With that said, Shiryu rushed out of the apartment, running blindly towards some place only his body knew of.

 

 

0000000

 

 

“Shun, why are you here?” Seiya asked from his spot on the bed. After Saga had carried him home that evening, he had developed a terrible cold. He had remained in bed for the entire weekend, unable to walk or stand for long.

 

“I heard you were terribly sick.” Shun said softly. Seiya noticed the paleness of his close friend and the bags under his eyes.

 

“I heard you were sick too. You shouldn't worry about me and get some rest.” He said as he adjusted his shirt.

 

“Is it true…is it true Shiryu kissed you?” Shun asked with narrowed green eyes.

 

Seiya sighed as he pulled at his blanket. He patted the spot beside himself and smiled at Shun softly.

 

Shun accepted his offer and sat beside him.

 

“You don't worry about that now. I'm fine. I cried and I bawled my lungs and eyes out. I even hit Saga in the face but I'm okay now.” He stared down at his hands with a soft smile, remembering how Saga held them gently but firmly. “I've never felt so refreshed in my life. I finally got everything off my chest. It felt so great.”

 

“You must have locked those feelings inside of you for so long. I can understand.” Shun said as stared up at the ceiling. Seiya's smile faded when he saw the river of tears streaming down Shun's face.

 

“Shun! No, don't cry!” He said panicking. He cupped Shun's cheek in his hand gently in an attempt to offer some form of comfort but Shun's tears only increased. “What's wrong?”

 

“I don't know what to do Seiya. I feel like I'll explode and this time I won't be able to put myself back together.” Shun cried. He couldn't tell Seiya the reason he felt so stressed was because an old split personality suddenly resurfaced.

 

“Ja…what about Hyoga? Why don't you talk to him?” Seiya asked as he pushed away the hair falling in Shun's face. “He's always helped you out before.”

 

“I don't want to cause him any trouble. Besides, he's busy entertaining Isaac.”

 

“Isaac… the person who took Hyoga's virginity?”

 

“I don't think he likes me very much either.” Shun hiccupped.

 

“You met him already?”

 

“Yeah, Hyoga brought him over yesterday.” Shun squeezed his legs as he remembered the day before. Ikki had been seriously pissed at Hyoga and Shaka seemed to be greatly annoyed as well. Isaac wasn't very pleasant to his ex lover's new boyfriend it seemed, because Shun had been frazzled out after their visit. Maybe it was his stern green eyes, or maybe even the frown plastered on his face. Yeah, it definitely had to be those things, because Isaac's personality was one of a kind.

 

FLASHBACK

 

Shun pulled at his hair distractedly as he lay in bed. He was bored out of his mind and also somewhat horny. He had tried to contact Hyoga but his flaxen haired lover did not answer his phone.

 

`Maybe he's still sleeping.' He thought to himself as he rolled over on his side. A lovely silence settled in the room, only to be disrupted by loud obnoxious knocks on the door.

 

“Shun!” Ikki yelled loudly.

 

“Yes, yes. Don't destroy the door.” He sighed before getting off his bed and walking over to the door to open it. “What is it?”

 

“Hyoga's downstairs.” Ikki said in an annoyed tone.

 

“Really?” Shun said excitedly. `I don't like to do it when Ikki's around but I guess I'll just have to keep quiet.' He thought to himself as he rushed through the doorway and down the stairs.

 

“Oi! Shun, wait a minute!” Ikki called after him. Shun ignored his brother's calls and rushed down the stairs and into the living room.

 

“Hyoga!” He called out happily; ready to jump into his lover's arms. His sharp green eyes caught sight of a tall boy standing in the corner of the room and he stopped abruptly in his tracks. He turned to look at Hyoga, who looked rather irritated, and then he turned to stare at the stranger standing in his living room.

 

“…Shun.” Hyoga said stiffly. His blue eyes wandered over Shun's body, taking in the sight of the long creamy legs that were exposed, and normally he would have been immediately aroused but instead he frowned unhappily.

 

“Oh…I'm sorry! I didn't realize that you had a guest with you.” Shun said softly, trying in vain to cover his legs. He had slept in one of Hyoga's shirts and pair of shorts, so most of his long, shapely legs were exposed for the world. His cheeks burned in embarrassment as Hyoga gave him a semi glare. Hyoga didn't have to look so upset. After all, if he had called before his arrival, Shun would've known to put on a pair of jeans. “I'm very sorry. Please excuse me for a few minutes while I go get properly dressed.”

 

“It doesn't matter.” Hyoga said in an irritated tone. He shook his head with a sigh and then shrugged his shoulders as though he was admitting defeat. “Shun, I'd like you to meet someone. This is my best friend I told you about, Kraken Isaac.”

 

Isaac gave Shun a lengthy glance, his sharp green eyes traveling over Shun's petite frame. He twisted his mouth in a manner one would if they found something disgusting, and then he stepped forward to say his greetings.

 

“I'm pleased to meet you.” He said in perfect Japanese. He however, did not bow politely as he was supposed to.

 

“I'm pleased to make you acquaintance. I've heard a lot about you from Hyoga.” Shun said with a forced smile. Hyoga was giving him the most intense stare down of his life.

 

“Really? I haven't heard anything about you from him. It's a pity really. You seem like a rather open person.” His green eyes fixed themselves upon Shun's halfway buttoned shirt and then he gave Shun the hugest false smile of the century.

 

Ikki, who was standing in the doorway, narrowed his cyan eyes at Isaac. He didn't like him. He was rude from the moment he had taken a step into the house. Also, Hyoga seemed to be in a horrible mood and was treating Shun rather coldly. He didn't like what was going on at all.

 

“Would you like something to drink?” Shun asked in English.

 

“What did he say Hyoga? His accent is weird.” Isaac asked rudely. Shun's face heated up in embarrassment while Ikki fought the urge to strangle the Russian.

 

“He asked if you wanted something to drink.” Hyoga said slowly.

 

“I doubt they have San Pellegrino here.”

 

“I'm sorry. We don't have that brand of water. Would you like some Ramune instead?” Shun tried to look as though he was unaffected by the rude comments but he failed miserably.

 

“It tastes very good. You'll like the flavor.” Hyoga said softly. The hurt look on Shun's face was too much. He couldn't act like this for too long.

 

“I'll have it then.” Isaac said before turning his face away. This Shun, he was really vexing. How could Hyoga fall for such a weakling?

 

“I'll go get some. Hyoga, would you like one as well?”

 

“Ah! I'll come help you!” He said brightly. He followed after Shun as the green haired boy made his way to the kitchen. When the couple finally reached their destination, Hyoga wrapped his arms around Shun's waist and snuggled against him. “I'm so sorry about this Shun. Isaac is…he's a bit bossy.” He said as he squeezed Shun tightly. Shun unwrapped the hands around his stomach and stepped away from the blond.

 

“You can say that but you don't know how embarrassed I feel right now.” Shun said with a red face. “And you certainly didn't help with how you were acting.”

 

“…”

 

“You acted like you were embarrassed that I'm your lover. Is that how you truly feel?”

 

“Never!” Hyoga yelled. “I'll never be ashamed of you.” He said with stern eyes. He held Shun's face in his hands and stared into the worried green eyes of his lover. “You're the one who should be embarrassed. I'm awful to you.” When Shun gave him a small smile, he sighed in relief. “I'm sorry about Isaac. He's always been headstrong but usually he's very polite. I don't know what has gotten into him. I can tell Ikki wants to strangle him.”

 

“I wouldn't blame him.” Shun said with pink cheeks. “I've never met someone so rude in my life!” He puffed up his cheeks and Hyoga gently slapped at them playfully. “And you! You could've called me and told me you were coming over!”

 

“Isaac took my phone. He was calling his uncle in Russia. When I finally got it back, we were already on your doorsteps.”

 

“Did he boss you around like this when you were younger?”

 

“Somewhat. He's a bit arrogant but he's very kind.” Hyoga didn't bother to tell Shun that Isaac had never wanted to end their relationship. It was Hyoga who had called it off, right before he moved to Japan. “Besides, back in Russia, the people consider him royalty.”

 

“Really? Then what about your family?”

 

“Umm…well I'm no different from Isaac. Mother did marry that rich bastard.” Hyoga said with a red face. He had never said anything much about his family before.

 

“I get the feeling your some kind of prince.” Shun said suspiciously. “Well…it doesn't matter really. I just love you.” He said with a gentle smile.

 

“…Shun.” Hyoga took hold of him again and held him tightly in his arms. “I really don't deserve you.”

 

“Don't say things like that.” Shun said into his chest. Really, there was no feeling he loved more in the world. Nothing compare to the warmth Hyoga offered him. If he were to ever lose it, he would surely go insane. “I guess you can't stay over?”

 

“No, Isaac and I have a lot of people to visit, including Camus.” He leaned down to place a kiss on Shun's forehead before he brushed away the hair from his face, cupping the soft cheeks in his hands gently. “If it were up to me, I'd be forever by your side Shun.” He leaned in to give Shun a kiss but someone coughed loudly and ruined the moment.

 

“I believe you have someone waiting in the living room.” Shaka said a hand on his hip. Ever since he and Ikki had gotten together, it seemed Shaka had gotten unbelievably sexy. It probably was because Ikki was always doing naughty things to him.

 

“Ah! The Ramune!” Shun yelled in panic. He rushed over to the refrigerator and took out two bottles. “Come Hyoga, we better get back out there!”

 

Hyoga followed after Shun but before he could leave, Shaka grabbed a hold of his arm. “What's wrong?”

 

“You know, I thought you were a bit different.”

 

“What are you talking about?” Hyoga asked with wide eyes.

 

“You're obviously hiding something from Shun. There's no way you would act the way you did in the living room if Isaac always acted like that.” Shaka's eyes shone brightly in the suddenly darkened room.

 

“…”

 

“He may not be my brother but Shun is precious to me. Don't fuck around with him. You'll regret it.” He grabbed him roughly by his collar and shook him. “I'll make you regret it!” He said darkly. His normally calm blue eyes shone with anger and he looked crazed. Hyoga, in short, was terrified beyond words.

 

“I know that. I know that if I hurt Shun, I'll not only have Ikki to deal with but you and everyone else.” He stared down at Shaka with impassive eyes, a sad expression etched on his young handsome face. “I'll try my best. Please believe in me a little.”

 

“…”

 

“Only a little bit.” Hyoga said softly as Shaka let him go. Hyoga scurried back into the living room. Shaka narrowed his eyes before clinching his fists. He had an idea of what was going on and he didn't like it. He didn't like it at all.

 

There was a loud crash in the living room and Shaka raced over to see what had happened. Shun stood before Isaac, his right hand outstretched as though he still held the glass bottle in his hand. Said bottle had fallen to the floor and broke. The fizzy liquid had splattered all over Isaac's shoes and messed up the rather expensive rug.

 

Hyoga stood a few feet away behind Shun while Ikki had made his way across the room and currently stood behind Isaac.

 

“What is going on here?” Shaka asked as made his way over to Shun. “Shun, it's just an accident. The bottle slipped from your hand right?” He asked with a small smile, trying his best to offer some comfort. The expression he saw on Shun's face surprised him greatly. He looked pissed off for some reason. His normally gentle eyes were now cold and dark.

 

`You don't like this guy do you Shun?' the voice echoed in his head. `I'll get rid of him for you. Just let me wrap my fingers around his neck and squeeze the life from him.'

 

`Be quiet!' Shun yelled in his mind. He stood within the dark room, his eyes catching sight of a grand gold chair in the center of the room. A figure shrouded in darkness sat on the chair, his long legs folded in a princely fashion.

 

`I'll get rid of him for you! He'll be out of your life so quickly you wouldn't even realize he was there to begin with! Let me rid him of his life for you!'

 

`Noisy!'

 

`Are you scared? Don't be! I'll do it in a way that no one will find out. You'll never get in trouble!'

 

`Shut up!' He roared. `I'll decide what I do! Not you! Stay out of this! I will fight my own battles!' He yelled at the person. His eyes widened. The person wasn't seated in the chair. Where had he gone?

 

An arm snaked around his waist and held him tightly while the other gripped his chin. A firm, broad chest pressed itself into his back as the arm around his waist tightened. The boy buried his head into the crook of Shun's neck.

 

`Are you sure about that? I am here to protect you. I will do anything for you, Shun. I love you that much.' He whispered into Shun's ear. Shun found his body weakening. Poisonous words had just been spoken. `I'll make everything better. Now…just give yourself to me!' he said before taking the soft earlobe into his mouth. Shun's eyes drooped as he leaned into the embrace. This person's words were like some sweet opiate that promised nirvana. He had to get away before he was completely entranced.

 

`Ne…onii-chan?' He said softly. The boy stopped sucking on his earlobe and pressed his cheek to Shun's cheek.

 

`What is it?'

 

`Who are you, onii-chan?' Shun asked with a smile. `Tell me who onii-chan is and I'll let you have me.'

 

When he was shoved roughly away, Shun smiled triumphantly. It had always worked when he was younger. He did not like to be asked who he was. He would always pull away and then escape to somewhere else in Shun's mind.

 

“Shun?” Ikki yelled loudly.

 

“What is it, Ikki?” he said softly as he looked at his brother. “More importantly, I don't think Isaac likes where you chose to stand at all!” He said with a smile. Ikki had seen that smile before. That smile meant trouble.

 

“I-I'll go get something to clean the mess up.” Hyoga stuttered out. He ran off in the direction of the kitchen and Shaka followed behind him.

 

“I'm sorry.” Shun said as he bent over to touch the black leather shoes. “I've ruined them haven't I?” He looked up at Isaac with narrowed eyes. Isaac took a step back.

 

“N-no, not at all.” He stuttered out. That look in those eyes, this kid wasn't a pushover after all. He was dangerous.

 

“But you know…if you had held the bottle properly it wouldn't have…”

 

“I brought some towels!” Hyoga said loudly, interrupting Shun's speech. The blond Russian stared at the pair in surprise. Isaac looked as though he had seen a ghost while Shun had a dark look on his face. “H-hey Shun, why don't you go wash your feet?” Hyoga gulped when Shun ignored him an continued to stare at Isaac.

 

“I'll take those towels, Hyoga. Didn't you say that you two had to visit Camus at one o'clock?” Shaka said as he took the towels from Hyoga's slack hands.

 

“Ah yes. But I really should help you with the clean…” He stopped his statement as Shun turned to look at him. It was the coldest glare he had ever seen. The glare however was replaced by a bright smile and happy eyes.

 

“Don't worry about it! We'll take care of everything!”

 

“Oh…okay then.” Hyoga stuttered out. “Come Isaac, let's go now. Shun, I'll call you later okay?”

 

“Of course!” Shun said with a smile. He got up from kneeling down and bowed politely. “It was a pleasure meeting you, Isaac-san.”

 

“No…the pleasure was mine.” Isaac said softly before coughing. He gave them a little bow and then the two Russians left.

 

“Shun, you didn't get a cut did you?” Shaka asked as he took a step towards his lover's brother.

 

“…He didn't want to accept it.” He said to himself.

 

“What?”

 

“That's why it fell. He didn't want to touch me.” Shun said as he clutched at the shirt he wore. “He thinks I'm dirty.”

 

“Shun, I don't know what he's thinking but you're not dirty!” Ikki said as he closed the space between them. He wrapped his arms around his brother's shoulders in comfort. There were only a few things that really upset Shun, and the thought of someone thinking he was dirty or not wanting to touch or be near him, was one of those things.

 

“Why don't you go take a nice warm bath and go back to bed? I'm sure you're still feeling weak from yesterday.”

 

“Yeah…I'll do that.” He said as he pulled away. Ikki watched forlornly as he made his way up the stairs and away from his sight.

 

“That Isaac, I'll definitely kill him if he hurts Shun.” Ikki said darkly as he went to help Shaka clean up the shards of glass. Shaka gave him a bright smile as he knelt down. “What?”

 

“I'll help you get rid of the body.” Ikki stopped to stare at him before he grabbed Shaka's free hand and laced their fingers together.

 

“Yeah.” Ikki said softly. “We'll go to jail together right?”

 

“Definitely.” Shaka replied as he placed his towel aside. Ikki leaned in a kissed his forehead before burying his face into his neck.

 

END OF FLASHBACK

 

“So I'm guessing he's a major asshole huh?” Seiya asked as he patted Shun's back gently.

 

“Major asshole isn't strong enough. More like a nasty cunt!” Shun said angrily. “He was so rude I wanted to slap him across the face!”

 

“Maybe you should've?” Seiya said before shrugging his shoulders. “Assholes like him, you have to deal with them quickly.”

 

“You're right. I'm definitely going to deal with this. It hurt me to see Hyoga following after him like that but after that incident, I didn't even want to see Hyoga.”

 

“You two have had it so good so far. It's only natural that some problems would arise. Do your best Shun!” Seiya said cheerfully. Shun smiled at him before punching the air.

 

“I'll do my best all right…and if that's not good enough, I'll simply knock the shit out of Isaac!” Shun said with an evil glint in his eyes. Seiya wiped some sweat from his brow. Shun could be scary sometimes. “Talking to you really helped a lot. Thank you for listening!”

 

“No problem! You've been there for me ever since you moved here. I'm only returning the favor!” Seiya grabbed a hold of Shun and messed up his hair playfully. Loud beeps interrupted the silence in the room and Shun scrambled to get his cell phone.

 

“Ah, Ikki's downstairs! I'll call you when I get back okay?” He said as he rose from the bed and straightened himself out. “Thank you again!” He bent over and kissed the top of Seiya's head and then winked impishly. “It may be bad luck to say this but, if somehow our two hearts are broken again, it might be fun to go out ne?” He gave Seiya a peace sign and then ran out of the room. “See you!”

 

“Shun!” Seiya yelled with pink cheeks. “That damn crazy boy!”

 

“I don't know what to do Seiya. I feel like I'll explode, and this time, I won't be able to put myself back together.” Shun's words from some moments ago echoed through his mind. `Even more than me, that boy is hurting. He's such a kind fool, smiling so happily when he still feels pain.' He wiped away the tears that ran down his cheeks quickly. “You'd better be okay you kind fool. If you were to go away, I don't know what I'd do anymore.”

 

Shun may not have been the one he was in love with but to see someone so kind, so gentle, someone most deserving of happiness, so broken and torn inside really hurt him. It was like watching a mockingbird be torn apart. It was just sad.

 

“Seiya!” Aiolia called from behind the door.

 

“Come in!” Seiya said as wiped at his eyes furiously. “What is it?”

 

“…Marin and I are going to the market. You'll be okay by yourself?” He was going to ask why Seiya's eyes were so red but he stopped himself.

 

“I'll be fine. Seeing Shun really made me feel better.”

 

“That's good. He's a good kid.” Aiolia said with a smile. “Would you like anything?”

 

“Ah…can you buy me those chewable vitamin c tablets? They're working great!”

 

“Sure. We'll try to come back quickly.” Aiolia said as he ruffled Seiya's hair playfully.

 

“No, take your time. You and Marin haven't been alone together for a while right? Why don't you go have some fun today?”

 

“…”

 

“Go on! Have a great time and bring me back some food!” He winked at Aiolia and the sandy blond rolled his eyes at him.

 

“Don't cause and trouble and don't move about too much!” Aiolia said with pink cheeks. “Seriously Seiya, don't get out of bed. You scared us yesterday with that fever.”

 

“I'm alright now. I'll just sleep or something.” He pulled up the covers around him and then grinned broadly at Aiolia. “See? I'm ready for bed now!”

 

“Be a good boy while we're gone.”

 

“Sure Daddy!”

 

“H-hey!”

 

“I'm kidding! Now please leave before I force myself to vomit all over you!”

 

“That's not something to joke about Seiya!” Marin said sternly as she entered the room. “Are you sure you'll be alright by yourself?”

 

“Yes, yes! Now please go!”

 

“We'll be back soon!” She said before kissing his forehead. “Be a good boy!”

 

“Dammit! Stop saying that!” he yelled as he flung a pillow in their direction. Luckily it hit the door just as it closed. “Damn lovebirds!” He said with a scrunched up face. He smiled as he turned over on his side. Marin and Aiolia's relationship was quite admirable. He wished his relationship could be like that. “So lucky!”

 

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

 

“What the hell?” He said as he jumped up from bed. Someone was knocking on his window. He made his way over to the window and opened it.

 

“Is that really wise to open the window after someone knocked so violently?” a cool voice laced with humor said.

 

“Saga!” Seiya said angrily. “If you're complaining then why did you knock so hard in the first place?”

 

“Are you going to let me in? It's chilly outside.” He said as he leaned against the window frame.

 

“Fine.” Seiya said with red cheeks as he opened the window completely. “What are you doing here in the first place? And hey! Didn't Aiolia and Marin see you?”

 

“I'm a master of evasion.” He said as he climbed through the medium sized window. He walked right up to Seiya and stood before him with his hands on his hips.

 

“W-what?” Seiya asked as he took a step back. Saga grabbed his hands and held him against his broad chest. A firm hand made its way to his forehead and then his neck.

 

“Not as bad as I thought.” Saga leaned over and pressed his cheek against Seiya's forehead. “You still have a fever though.”

 

“…Saga.” Seiya breathed out as he let himself be held. It felt nice being held by such strong arms.

 

“I would kiss you but you have the cold. I don't want it!” He said before kissing Seiya's neck.

 

“Then why are you kissing my neck? There has germs too!” He said as squirmed around.

 

“Are you angry because I don't want to kiss you?” Saga asked before moving down to Seiya's shoulders. He kissed and lic

ked at the collar bones and Seiya cried out.

 

“Yes! I mean no! Stop that!” He pulled away from Saga and then fixed his shirt. “You're moving too fast!”

 

“Am I? I wasn't going to fuck you, you know!” He said casually. Seiya's face heated up in embarrassment. “But…if you continue to make such sexy faces, I might not be able to hold back.”

 

“It's okay with kissing, but not that kind of kissing as yet. We only agreed to be together on Friday.”

 

“Why? Many couples get to stage three on the first day of getting together.” He walked over to Seiya's bed and sat down on the edge. Seiya turned even redder when he noticed how handsome Saga looked in his clothes.

 

`God! He's just so bloody sexy! Is this what it's like being with someone older?' He thought to himself as he took a seat next to Saga. “Why did you come over?”

 

“Hmm? I felt like I needed to check on you.” He leaned back into the mattress and spread his arms. “So this is your room huh? Very tidy for a teenage boy. So…where do you hide your porn?”

 

“…!”

 

“I bet you have a whole pile!” Saga stared up at the ceiling and then closed his eyes. “Mmnn…this bed is comfortable! I think I'll sleep here.”

 

“You can't! Saga!” Seiya cried as he touched his broad shoulders. Saga pulled him down on top of him and then wrapped an arm around his waist to ensure he could not escape. “What are you doing?” Saga ignored him and closed his eyes. Seiya gave in and buried his face into Saga's neck. “This feels nice.” He whispered in Saga's ear.

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Can I get a kiss?” Seiya said softly before kissing Saga's ear.

 

“I thought you said not to kiss you?” Saga sighed happily as Seiya took his ear into his mouth. He really liked that sensation a lot.

 

“Still…I feel like kissing you right now.”

 

“Then kiss me.”

 

“…” Seiya pulled away so that he could look at Saga's face. Saga stared back at him with a smile in his eyes. Saga's hand found Seiya's cheek and cupped it gently. Seiya couldn't hold back anymore. That look on Saga's face, it was torture to look at it any longer. He lowered his face until his lips brushed lightly against Saga's. He slowly nibbled at the chapped firm lips before deepening the kiss. It wasn't long before Saga's tongue probed at his lips which he happily parted. Their tongues wrapped around each other and probed at every corner of each other's mouths. Saga rolled them over so that Seiya lay beneath him in his rightful position. They continued to kiss deeply before pulling apart to catch their breaths.

 

“Saga!” Seiya moaned out as Saga bit down on his neck. “You're really good at this.”

 

“So are you.” He said before devouring Seiya's mouth once again. “You taste like oranges.” He said as he broke apart for some air. Seiya pulled him back down and kissed him roughly, tugging on his lips and then licking the bruises his teeth made.

 

Saga pulled away abruptly, leaving Seiya confused.

 

“What's wrong?” Seiya panted out.

 

“We should stop.”

 

“Why?” Seiya asked with wide eyes.

 

“Why? This is why?” Saga said as he took hold of Seiya's right hand. He pressed it against his erection and Seiya turned even redder than before. “If we continue, I'll devour you. You said you didn't want to move too fast right?”

 

“That doesn't matter anymore.” Seiya said with a smile. “I want to be with you as soon as possible.”

 

“…Seiya.”

 

“You're my first. Please be gentle.” He said softly.

 

Saga hesitated before he closed the space between them once again. He would make sure Seiya never forgot this moment.

Aldebaran pushed his trolley down the wide aisle of the canned food section, picking up a few items that he wanted to try or he thought he needed. From the moment he had entered the market, a pretty little blonde in knee high black boots and a rather tight pair of jeans had sashayed around in front of him. He had only caught a glimpse of the woman's face but she seemed really gorgeous and the suggestive way she walked only helped to hypnotize him more. He found himself following the blonde all around the supermarket, wanting to see more and more of what she did.

 

Now, Aldebaran prided himself in his free choice of who he chose to date and fall in love with, and certainly he had been attracted mostly to males, but this blonde woman had certain flair to her that he just loved. She was confident, he could tell from that strut, and sassy. It didn't help that her ass looked amazing in those jeans.

 

“Excuse me sir.” A lady dressed in a bright outfit said loudly.

 

“Oh! Sorry.” He said with pink cheeks. He pushed his trolley out of the way and continued down the aisle. The blonde female was busy reading the label on a can of tomatoes. He parked his trolley opposite hers and busied himself with examining a can of pineapple chunks.

 

“Excuse me, but is that you Aldebaran?” the blonde asked from beside him. He turned to examine the woman's face and his eyes widened. The she was actually a he! He also knew the he!

 

“M-Misty?” He stuttered out in disbelief. Never in a thousand years would he think that he's been lusting over Misty. You see, back in high school Misty was a rather snobby pretty-boy whom disliked anyone whom he thought wasn't `beautiful'. He was a mean little blond who tortured the living daylights out of Aldebaran, and on several occasions he had been humiliated in front of his `friends'.

 

“Oh my! If it isn't Alde! It's been ages since I've last seen you!” He said with a huge smile.

 

“S-same here. You look different.” `Yeah, totally different! When did he get so shapely? His ass is amazing and I just did not think that disturbing thought.' He thought to himself as he tried his best to smile.

 

“Yeah, I just put in highlights today!” He said brightly. A lady passed by them and threw him a dirty look. “Heh, it's not my fault you don't look this great!”

 

“Misty…you…”

 

“Oh yes! Alde sure has gotten handsome!”

 

“W-what?” Aldebaran stuttered out.

 

“You've grown into a real hunk, just my type too!” `Besides, I remember your cock size from in school days. I really like your type.' Misty thought lustfully as he looked Aldebaran up and down. Defined muscles and smooth tanned skin, exactly what the doctor prescribed.

 

“I'm flattered.” Aldebaran said with rosy cheeks. He knew he was supposed to loathe Misty from the very depths of his soul, but he just could not help but feel happy that someone, someone, found him attractive. From a very tender age he had been told he was ugly and he always believed it. The only person who made him feel like he was human was Mu. That was probably why he loved him so much.

 

“Well, I used to be a mean asshole back in high school. I said some really horrible things back then didn't I?”

 

“…”

 

“You're still as kind as I remember. Its okay, I've been reflecting on what I've done. It's hard to get over vanity though.” He said with a lop-sided grin. “But when you're born this beautiful, what are you supposed to do? Hate yourself?”

 

“Ahahahahahahahaha!” Aldebaran held his stomach as he laughed his life away. Misty surely still was the old vain person he knew, but he had changed for the better.

 

“What's so funny? Aren't I gorgeous? Isn't that why you were stalking me all over the market?”

 

“What?” Aldebaran turned red to the very roots of his hair. He had been noticed.

 

“Thought I didn't realize? I'm used to being stalked you know. Anyway, I was so surprised it was Alde.” He said with a gentle smile. Aldebaran's face heated up once again. “Say, can Aldebaran give me a ride home? My car's at the mechanic's.”

 

“That won't be a problem. Where do you live?”

 

“Oh, I'm moving into this new apartment complex in the Sanctuary area.”

 

“Ah, I live in Sanctuary District. That's right there for me.” Aldebaran said with a smile.

 

They continued their shopping and then left together. The sun had just begun to set, so the sky was a beautiful crimson and yellow color.

 

“What a lovely sight!” Misty exclaimed from his seat beside Aldebaran his car. “A walk on the beach with that beautiful sight in the distance would be really romantic!” He said with a squeal.

 

Aldebaran smiled warmly at his childishness. `He's really cute.' He thought to himself as he stole a glance at the blond. He had the cutest look on his face as he stared awestruck out the window.

 

“Alde, have you ever walked on the beach at sunset with your special person?”

 

“Ah, no I have never done that. Have you?”

 

“No! I want to try it soon though!” he pulled his hair into a pony tail and fixed his top. “Ne, has Aldebaran ever had sex on the beach?”

 

Aldebaran nearly ran off the road with that question. Misty had actually gone `whee! Do it again!' as he straightened up again. “Um…no I have never done that.”

 

“What are you talking about? I'm talking about the drink! You're such a pervert Alde!” He said with a chuckle.

 

“Oh that! It's okay but I don't really like alcohol so much so…” He trailed off as he turned a corner. “I'm going in the right direction?”

 

“So, have you really had sex on the beach?”

 

Aldebaran almost ran over an old lady this time. “Why are you asking me this?”

 

“Have you?”

 

“No I have never had sex on the beach!” Aldebaran yelled as they came to some traffic lights. The couple in the car in the next lane turned and stared at him strangely. Misty had turned the window down to admire the sunset, so his outburst was heard by everyone.

 

“Dude…we so didn't need to know that!” The driver yelled. When the lights turned green and the car drove off, the car behind it slowed down and a girl stuck her head out the window. “You should try it! It's great!” she yelled. Her lover (and driver) laughed hysterically as they drove by. Aldebaran turned the window up and switched on the radio.

 

“Oh my!” Misty said before covering his mouth.

 

“Am I going in the right direction?” Aldebaran managed to force out. He felt like flinging Misty out of his car and onto the side of the road. Why was it that he always felt embarrassed when Misty was near him?

 

“Yeah. The name of the place is Sakura Complex!”

 

Aldebaran ran over a trash can before he parked. “What? That's where I live!”

 

“Really? That's great!” Misty said cheerfully. “My apartment number is 116! What's yours?”

 

“118.”

 

“I'm opposite you! This is so cool!”

 

`So he's the person with the leopard skin furniture that was moving huh? Good god! What am I in for?' Aldebaran thought to himself as he drove off.

 

“This is fantastic! Now I won't be as lonely anymore!” Misty roared.

 

Aldebaran remained silent the rest of the ride home. They parked in the garage downstairs and then made their way up to the fourth floor. Misty had jumped in the elevator until they reached their destination.

 

“I guess this is good night then.” Aldebaran said sourly. He totally cast aside the earlier feelings he had felt this evening. Misty was still a little pest!

 

“Yeah! Thanks for giving me a ride!” he said before he tip-toed and placed a kiss to Aldebaran's cheek. Aldebaran turned red and something resembling steam flew out of his ears. “Have a good evening!” Misty disappeared behind his door and closed it with a soft `click'. The number 116 stared at him in the face.

 

“This is going to be so much fun isn't it?” He asked himself aloud before sighing. He turned around and stuck his key in the hole and turned the lock. He picked up his grocery bags and carried them inside. He prepared dinner and took a bath and settled himself on the sofa with all the intentions of resting himself. His plans were ruined however, when Misty busted through the door in a pair of leopard print short and a t-shirt.

 

“Neighbor! I smell lasagna!” He chirped as he flopped down beside the tall Brazilian.

 

“What are you doing in here? Most importantly, how the hell did you get in here?”

 

“Oh that? The landlord gave me a copy of your keys just now when he came to welcome me!”

 

“What?!”

 

“Hey, where's my present! You're supposed to give me a welcoming present!”

 

“Misty…”

 

“Oh! Your place is just like mine but uglier!”

 

“Misty…”

 

“Why aren't you getting me a plate of food? I'm your guest! Guest!”

 

“MISTY!” Aldebaran roared. Misty stopped his jumping around to stare at him.

 

“That's my name, don't wear it out!” He said with a wink.

 

Aldebaran wished more than ever he could teleport to somewhere faraway. He really envied anime characters sometimes.

 

“Have you fallen for me yet?”

 

“GET OUT!”

 

TO BE CONTINUED…

 

A/N: It's been a while ne? I really fought hard to write this chapter. I hope you all like it. I've finally written a scene with Isaac, Shun and Hyoga! That will be the love triangle from now on! Poor Shiryu! He had it coming didn't he? He's a sharp person, so of course he would've known Seiya loved him. He did like Seiya in the beginning but when he met Mu, those feelings were easily blown away! Did you guys like my scary Mu? Wasn't he just lovely being cold like that? I actually cried writing that scene you know. I just felt bad for everyone but fear not, Mu and Shiryu will make amends!

 

This chapter really has a lot of scary uke in it ne? Shaka threatened Hyoga, Shun's got a psychotic split personality and Misty's just…crazy! I really like writing Misty! He's so fun. He's going to torture poor Alde-chan!

 

I shall try to update before May but that's not a promise. I have exams coming up and I don't know if my computer will crash again like it did for New Year. Oh yeah, and I'm trying to edit the older chapters, so if it seems like I updated, it's because I fixed a chapter. My grammar and punctuation back then was really horrible. I think I've improved somewhat right?

 

Thank you for reading! Please review!
