Usagi POV

I was on my way to Takahiro's house to celebrate his birthday. He had said that he wanted to tell me and his little brother something and I let myself wonder about what it was. Even though Takahiro was pretty normal, somehow he was always unpredictable.

By the time I got to his apartment it was already dark which hid the scowl that was on my face when Takahiro's girlfriend opened the door. Manami smiled at me falsely while I didn't bother to hide my displeasure. She already knew how I felt about Takahiro but she also knew that I could never have him. This was something I myself had realized long ago and that just fueled my hatred for her.

"Takahiro." I said smiling as he came up behind her.

"Usagi-san, its good to see you. I'm glad you could come, I have BIG news." Takahiro chattered on excitedly.

Normally I would have hung on to every word but I noticed that Manami was smirking at me from across the room.

"What kind of news is it?" I asked Takahiro.

"Life changing news." he said "Wait one second, I'll go get Misaki so I can tell you both."

I grew a bit nervous as I watched him walked down the hall then hear knocking on a door followed by "Misaki."

A few minutes later Takahiro came back with a young boy that looked rather bored.

"Misaki, this is my friend Usami Akihiko, and this is my little brother Misaki." he said introducing us. I shook hands with the teenager who immediately tensed at my touch before pulling his hand away.

"So what's this big news?" I asked too preoccupied to wonder about the boy's reaction.

"Me and Manami" Takahiro said "are getting married."

At those words my fragile world shattered. But I put on a smile Takahiro, congratulating him on his engagement. Everyone else was smiling (even though Misaki was only smiling slightly) but I felt like I could cry. Cursing myself for everything I was feeling I was forced to endure the rest of the night with a smile on my face talking about how happy Takahiro would be with Manami.

I relieved when it was time to leave but unfortunately Manami was leaving with me. I tried my best to ignore her and quickly slipped out of the door.

"Usami-san." she called as I was walking away.

"What?" I growled.

"It couldn't have turned out any different. He was going to marry someone someday, you must have known that from the beginning." she said.

I turned around to face her "I'll keep that in mind." I said.

"But really" she said "you don't even know him that well. You've been with him longer than me and you're just now meeting his brother. You may be in love with him but we're getting married now, its time to give up." She started walking the other way leaving me alone.

"I know that already, I've known that for a long time." I said to myself.

I really should give up on Takahiro, I have to now. I'll try to again.

Misaki POV

He's weird. Usagi-san is weird especially his nickname. He has been clinging onto Nii-chan all night. He keeps shooting Manami dirty looks. And he's smiling even though he's sad, I wonder why. For a moment it all adds up. He's sad because Nii-chan is getting married. I think he loves Nii-chan. I brush the thought away thinking it impossible for two very good reasons. 1.) Because they're both guys and 2.) Because I don't believe in love. Still I can't help but think that its true.

While Nii-chan is trying to pry Usagi-san off of him I went over to Manami

"Can I talk to you?" I asked.

She nodded and led me away from the others. She waited for me to talk.

"Does Usagi-san love Nii-chan?" I asked bluntly.

She smiled at me and said "As in…"

"As in romantically." I finished for her.

"Yes." she said.

"That's weird." I said and walked away.

Behind me I heard Manami say "I know Misaki, but its true."

"Yeah." I said, but I didn't believe it, even if Usagi-san did.

When we walked back to Nii-chan he was chatting with Usagi again, both with huge smiles on their faces.

I thought "There is no such thing as love, especially gay love. Its all false."
