Part 27

Die walked to the couch Shinya was on and sat sideways on it, 
bringing Shinya to lay back against his chest, playing with the 
blonde's hair. Kaoru sat in a corner of the studio, playing random 
tunes on his guitar with a solid frown. The tunes were low and 
angry, but sad at the same time. Eventually, Kaoru pushed the guitar 
off of his lap and stood up, grabbing his keys. "I'm going to find 
them."

***

Kaoru knocked at the door to Kyo and Toshiya's apartment, but no 
answer came. He frowned and tried the door, seeing that it was 
unlocked. Slowly, he walked in and didn't see anyone. //Probably 
still asleep...// he walked to Toshiya's room and didn't see anyone, 
only clothes on the floor and an abandoned bed.

He sighed and walked to Kyo's room, seeing Toshiya huddled in the 
sheets. He smiled slightly and walked to the bed, stiing on it and 
stroking Toshiya's cheek until the bassist woke. "Kyo?" Toshiya 
muttered, causing Kaoru to draw back. Toshiya's vision cleared and 
he saw it was Kaoru instead. "Oh..." he said softly.

"Toshiya..."

Toshiya struggled to sit up and looked at Kaoru curiously. "What are 
you doing here?"

"You're late for practice..." //Toshiya's not wearing anything... 
he's in Kyo's bed....// Kaoru bit his lip.

"Oh.... Let me shower and get something on..." he slowly slid out of 
the bed and took small steps to the shower. 

Kaoru noticed a slight limp in Toshiya's gait and he turned 
away. //It doesn't mean anything...//

***

Kyo gazed up at Hakuei when he answered the door before hugging 
him. "Hakuei... arigatou..."

Hakuei frowned and pulled Kyo away. "For what?"

Kyo hung his head. "For... for dealking with me... but..."

"But?"

Kyo slowly looked up. "I'm leaving."

***

Kaoru heard his ceel go off and he took it out, answering. "Moshi 
moshi?"

"..."

Kaoru frowned. "Hey?"

"... *click*"

Kaoru blinked and looked at the number listing, but it was 
unfamiliar. "Who?"

***

Kyo sighed after hanging up the pay phone, pressing his forehead to 
the plastic glass of the booth. //I wanted to remind you... that I 
love you.... but...// Kyo parted his lips slightly in shock. //I 
don't...//

***

Shinya turned around in Die's embrace and pressed the guitarist 
against the couch, crawling on top of him and kissing deeply. Die 
smiled against Shinya's lips and held him close. "Die..." Shinya 
sighed while pulling back. 

Die hugged Shinya tightly. "Want to go home now?"

Shinya nodded. "Let's go home."

***

Toshiya wrapped the towel around his waist and walked out of the 
shower, combing out his hair and putting it in a ponytail before 
walking out to his room and putting on some clothes. Kaoru was 
sitting on the bassist's bed, watching as Toshiya dressed and 
sighing. //Toshiya... are...//

Toshiya didn't even look at Kaoru, his heart pained at Kyo's 
reluctance due to the guitarist. //Why did you fall for Kaoru, huh 
Kyo? Why?// Toshiya gasped as Kaoru's arms wrapped around his waist 
from behind and Kaoru began to slowly kiss his neck. "Kaoru...." 
Toshiya sighed.

Kaoru ran his tongue up Toshiya's neck, feeling the bassist 
shiver. "Toshiya--"

A knock at the door sounded and Kaoru groaned as Toshiya slipped away 
to answer it. Hakuei stood in the doorway and Toshiya 
blinked. "Hakuei?"

"Toshiya... a little birdie came and told me that you'd better go to 
the airport... gate 235..." Hakuei grinned as he saw Kaoru come 
in. "You too."

***

Kyo sighed, trying to stay awake as he waited for his boarding time. 
People passed by constantly, but he didn't even take notice when 
people sat next to him. It wasn't until his hand was enclosed by 
another that he turned and saw Toshiya. "To... how?"

Toshiya brought Kyo's hand up to his lips and kissed it 
softly. "Kyo..."

//Toshiya.. don't do this... you're making me want you so bad...//

"Kyo.." Kaoru's voice came from behind him and Kyo shot his gaze to 
the guitarist.

"Kaoru?"

Toshiya wrapped his arms around Kyo's body and rested his forehead on 
the vocalist, causing Kaoru to draw back a bit. //Toshiya... do 
you... love him?// "Why are you leaving?"

Kyo turned away slightly, but Kaoru grabbed his chin and brought 
Kyo's eyes to his own. "Whatever it is, running won't solve 
anything. Tell me what's wrong."

Kyo shook his head, closing his eyes. "No..."

Kaoru put a hand on each of Kyo's cheeks and forced him to look at 
his face. "Kyo... is it me?'

Kyo nodded numbly.

"What about me?" Kyo didn't say anything. "Does it have to do with 
Toshiya?" Kyo waited a bit before slowly nodding. "Does it have to 
do with this morning?" Kyo nodded again. "Well, come on, speak... I 
won't get mad. I promise."

Kyo lifted his gaze to Kaoru's. "Hounto?" Kaoru nodded and Kyo 
nodded again. "A... anou... Kaoru... last night, Toshiya and I... 
slept together. I just lost control! I wanted someone warm, someone 
who loved me, and... he was there. But.. but I felt guilty because I 
fell for him during that and you think that Toshiya loves you but he 
says he loves me and I thought if I lfet then from being away from me 
Toshiya would fall in love with you and my promise to you would be 
fullfilled and I'd forget I fell in love with Toshi..." Kyo's speech 
was fast and he ened up bursting into tears, trembling in Toshiya's 
arms.

Toshiya held Kyo, but was frozen in shock. //He... fell in love with 
me?// Toshiya's eyes met Kaoru's, feeling Kaoru's hand cup his 
cheek. "Kao...."

Kaoru smiled sadly. "You two... figure things out, ne? Forget about 
me." He lightly kissed Toshiya and pulled Kyo away, kissing the 
vocalikst as well. "Kyo... forget that promise, ne? I'll find 
someone..."

"Kaoru?"

Kaoru put a finger on Kyo's lips. "Nope. No arguement. Now, you 
and Toshiya patch things up, ne?" Kyo nodded and Kaoru 
smiled. "Well.. I'll leave you two alone." He ruffled Toshiya's 
hair and turned around, walking until he he turned around, sadly 
watching the two begin to talk.

Kaoru heard someone stop behind him and he turned slightly, seeing 
Hakuei. "My little brother is all grown up and breaking hearts!" He 
said a bit dramatically, throwing an arm around Kaoru. "He grew up 
so fast!"

Kaoru laughed a little. "Yeah..."

Hakuei started walked, amr still around Kaoru. "Let's go. I heard a 
new bar opened on Fifth Street."

Kaoru nodded, smiling. "Hai."
