Summary: Tegoshi had experienced broken heart twice and he didn't want to have it again for the third time. (My summary sucks)
Notes: Just a short one shot. The title doesn't have that much to do with the content. :)
There was this time during my high school day when I had a girlfriend. She was cute and fragile, made me wanted to protect her in every chance. I gave my love to her, my care, my everything. I devoted myself for her.
My friends told me that I overreacted. But I didn't care. I thought it was the best way to reciprocate my love to her. Yes, I loved her, and I was sure that she loved me too.
I remember how I skipped classes just to see her or even how I neglected my own works just to do hers. I shrugged every warnings my teachers gave, while still acting as a good boy in front of my parents. I could maintain my grade just fine so I had the winning cup in my hand.
But it didn't last that long. Instead it was shattered quite fast. She was the one who ended it. You are too feminine to be a guy. Each of the words she used pierced straight to my heart. Am I really that unmanly? -- that question was echoing inside my brain on and on. It hurt. After all I have given to her...
There was this time when I met this guy. It had never reached my mind that I actually had more interest towards guys more than girls until my encounter with him.
He was not that bright compared to other. Just some normal guy. But then he caught my sight more than others. When I realized it, I always blushed whenever his eyes met mine.
I really couldn't believe it when he confessed to me. Was it just a dream or the reality? I was too happy when I confirmed that his words were for real. There was no answer other than a yes of course. I was so sure that it would work out this time.
He was so caring to me. What could make me happier than meeting him? That was the thought I had that time. Unfortunately, my exclamation was proven wrong once again.
He came to me that day. I didn't notice anything wrong since everything just seemed to go as usual. He told me that he wouldn't be long. That was when I realized that something was fishy. You are a guy, after all, no matter how feminine or how beautiful you are -- another hurting words were popping inside my ears. There should be something wrong with my hearing, I though. But when I looked upon his cold expression, I knew instantly that he really meant it. My healed heart was once again torn...
There shouldn't have been the third. I had decided it. But he came.
I remembered it was during suspension days. He was the one approaching me to give me comfort. It was pretty much unexpected. Band mates, right. That was the only tie we had at that time.
But something grew slowly inside my heart. No, it shouldn't have, I thought. I had been hurt twice and that was more than enough. I didn't want to experience the same thing again. That was why I put a border around me.
But he tried to break the wall. Slowly, but sure. I could feel how I started to feel something else. It sometimes felt strange whenever I wasn't able to see him. But then, he was way too far from my reach, at least that was what I thought.
I decided to give him the chance at last. But I should have known that he couldn't avoid interacting with other, sometimes rather intimately. He flirted with other, kissed, hugged. It hurt. Even if it was just an act, it hurt.
He said he love me, he said he would protect me no matter what, he said he would die if it meant for me.
Is that the truth?

Tegoshi tip-toed his way through the apartment corridor. A small box was being hold as he was humming some random tune. He kept walking until he reached a certain room number.
"Yuya - chan. Come on in." Yamapi said with a wide smile.
Tegoshi stepped into the apartment room and claimed the white fluffy couch immediately. "Ah here, I bring you some sandwiches, Tomo - chan." he handed his small box to Yamapi while waiting for his lover's return.
A ringing voice of the telephone was heard.
Tegoshi was about to accept it before Yamapi put it on loud speaker first and returned to the kitchen.
Girl's voice...
If only Tegoshi could think rationally, he should have been able to notice that it was only their manager's voice reminding Yamapi's schedule. But the worry inside his heart made him unable to think clearly. What should he do? That left him stunned for a moment, uncertain of what to do.
Slowly, Tegoshi stood up and walked leisurely to the kitchen. There he saw the older man's back, probably busy with preparing. The expression in Tegoshi's face was unreadable, as he reached his lover and hugged him from behind.
"What's wrong, Yuya - chan?" Yamapi looked back worriedly, stopped doing whatever he was occupied with earlier.
"Hmm..." Tegoshi shook his head slowly. He could feel the older man's hand patting his head and was somehow relieved by it.
Relieved? It didn't take another second until a thought reached his mind.
"Nee, Tomo - chan, do you love me?"
Yamapi raised his eyebrow as he had completely ignored his earlier work. "Of course, Yuya. I love you." he said in a daring tone.
"Really? You said that you would die for me, right?"
Yamapi thought that it was strange enough for Tegoshi questioning his love which was confirmed as he heard his lover's next question. "Are you ok, Yuya?"
"Answer me..."
"Yes..." Yamapi let out a sigh.
"Nee, we'll be together forever, right? You want to be with me always, right?" Tegoshi threw another question.
"Of course, Yuya." Yamapi tightened his embrace.
"Really? Did you really mean it, Tomo - chan." Tegoshi's right hand reached something behind Yamapi.
"Y-, ugh..." Yamapi felt the immediate stab on his back before falling down to the floor. The last thing he did was staring at Tegoshi in disbelief before closing his eyes forever.
"We'll be together, right?" Tegoshi's mouth was curving up widely. "I'm coming soon, Tomo - chan."
And with that, the headline for the next day's newspapers was decided; Shocking death, popular idols Yamashita Tomohisa and Tegoshi Yuya.
E/N: The author is asking for forgiveness for making Tego like that... *bleh*
