How far have I walked?
When I look back, I see tear tracks
Yabu was trying to escape the loneliness, he cornered Takaki after work, “Takaki-kun, do you want to go out for a bite to eat…” he dangled his credit card in front of him.
Takaki was hungry; a meal Yabu paid for was always good…
Chinen overheard them and watched them leave together. He was angry…when would they learn…that Yunyan was his…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hikaru was standing in the shower, his head pressed to the wall as he attempted to keep the tears from falling. He didn’t cry…not when anyone could see or hear him…he wanted to make things right but he was afraid. He didn’t know how…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yabu bought them food at an elegant restaurant, and then invited his bandmate to his house for a drink. He grabbed them both a beer and sat down on the couch next to his friend.
Takaki was a bit of a lightweight and the beer quickly went to his head.
Yabu was still hurt and angry, he wanted to see if Hikaru still cared and was determined to make him jealous. He felt so guilty when he woke up in bed with Takaki…in his head he knew he and Hikaru weren’t together anymore but his heart still hurt. He felt like he had betrayed his lover…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've hurt and been hurt, but I finally got here
And you're here now
Hikaru’s heart was torn in two once more when he saw Yabu walk in with Takaki and they were holding hands. He bit his lip and went to steal smokes from Taisuke…
What's love? Just you
I always want you too much
Yabu saw the pain in Hikaru’s eyes as he watched him walk away and dropped Takaki’s hand…why wouldn’t he talk to him? Didn’t he know that the silence and running away was killing him?
What's love without you?
It's meaningless; I just can't live
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shoon had been trying to call Taiyou for days with no luck…his friend was not answering…he threw himself on the bed, what had he done wrong…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taiyou stared at the wall, he ignored the phone as it vibrated across the room…he knew it was Shoon. He called everyday for the last few weeks and he wasn’t in the mood to deal with reality right now…
Can I really love you with all my heart?
I'm still worried
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hikaru was drinking again…trying to drown the pain of breaking Yabu’s heart again…he didn’t think there was anything he could say to change reality. He wanted to go back to way things had been before he talked to Shoon but he didn’t believe in miracles anymore…
He saw a picture of them together and it broke his heart. He threw the empty bottle across the room and went to pour himself a cup of coffee. He drank it and then tried to get the alcohol taste out of his mouth. He ran to Yabu’s…his heart in his throat…he knock on the door gently.
Yabu opened it slowly, he looked down to see Hikaru and felt his eyes fill with tears.
Hikaru wrapped him in his arms.
All alone in a dream, I finally got here
And you're trembling
Hikaru whispered,
Don't cry; I won't let you go
Even if I throw everything away
What's the future without you?
I can't see it; I don't need it
Yabu nodded tearfully responding,
The morning sun on your sleeping face
And your shy smile make me happy
So I want to keep feeling these days forever
They stood there, exactly where they belonged…together…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shoon was tired of being ignored and tired of pretending that he didn’t care if Taiyou ignored him…
What's love? Just you
I always want you too much
Taiyou woke up to find Shoon sitting next to him on the bed, he saw a softness in Shoon’s eyes that he’d never seen before…
What's love without you?
It's meaningless; I just can't live
Shoon cupped his check and whispered,
I love you, but I can't love you enough
What's the future without you?
I can't see it; I don't need it
Taiyou nodded, “I know what you mean…” he pulled the older one into his arms, “Don’t ever throw Hachibee at me again…”
Shoon smiled, “I think I’d be too jealous…”
