GX – GX
Everyone was at Amanda's house having a 'go away' party for her and Syrus since they were moving to Colorado the next day. (A/N: I really am moving to Colorado with my brother, Kyle and my parents in January!)
"I can't believe you're moving, Sy!" Jaden said as tears rolled down his face.
"I know. I really don't want to, but my momma says that I have to!" Syrus replied as tears rolled down his face too.
"Why isn't Jazz and Zane moving with you guys too, then?"
"Jazz is marrying Kaiba and carrying his child so she's moving in with him. And Zane… he's got his own job and place now, so he's staying here too." Syrus said, sounding more upset about Zane.
"I'm sure they're both gonna miss you so much, Sy, just like I will!"
"Well, I hope so! You've been like a brother to me!"
"You are my bro, Sy!" Jaden said. "Nothin' or nobody is ever gonna change that, right?" Jaden asked with his trademark smile and hand signal.
"Right! Best friends and bros forever?" Syrus asked as he held out his hand, which Jaden ignored and hugged Syrus instead.
"Forever and ever!"
"Sweet!" Syrus said, and hugged Jaden back.
On the far side of the room, Zane was sitting on the railing of the stairs and watching Syrus hug Jaden. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous. 'I know that I shouldn't be jealous, but I can't help it! It's… hard to see Syrus being so close to someone else. I mean-' Zane's thoughts got interrupted by-
"Zaney!" Someone yelled right in his ear, and he screamed while falling off the railing.
Zane looked up and saw Amanda standing there, looking innocently back at him. "Amanda, don't do that!" He yelled.
"Sorry, bro, but I gotta tell you something."
"What?"
"Before Sy-Sy and I leave… you've really gotta tell him that you love him!"
"He knows I do!"
"Really? You've already told him you loved him?"
"Of course I have." Zane said as he sat, Indian-style with his arms crossed over his chest.
"What did he say?"
"He said he loved me back."
"Aw! That's so sweet! So, are you guys like a couple now?"
"What?" Zane asked, and looked up at Amanda. "No!"
"But you said that you told each other that you love… each other!" Amanda yelled.
"I didn't mean it like that!" Zane yelled back as he stood up. "If you'd shut up for a minute and let your yaoi-obsessed mind stop for a second, you'd know that I didn't mean it like that!"
Amanda glared at her brother before pushing him out in the middle of the living room and walking away a bit.
"I don't get it!" Zane said.
"Sit, Zaney!" Amanda said, and Zane got pulled to the ground. (A/N: We all can make our siblings do that! They're under our power! Muwhahaha! …Anyway… back to the story!)
"Hey! What did you do that for?!" Zane yelled.
"Why don't you just tell Syrus you love him for real and just quit it with all this 'brotherly love' bullshit!" Amanda yelled.
"You know, Amanda-chan…" Victoria started. "Syrus is right here." She said as she pointed to said boy who was standing right next to her.
"Good! That means that I just helped break the ice!" Amanda yelled. "Now, tell him!"
"No! I am not going to tell my little brother a lie!"
Syrus looked upset and bowed his head as he walked upstairs.
"Now look what you did, you pea brain!" Amanda yelled, then grabbed Zane's shirt collar and picked him up. (A/N: Yeah right… like I'm really that strong.) "You better march up those stairs right now, mister, and apologize to Syrus!"
"For what?! Saying I'm not in love with him?! It would be better than lying to him!" Zane yelled back.
"Just go up there and fuckin' apologize to him!"
"Alright, alright! I'm going!" Zane yelled and ran up the stairs. He got to Syrus' room and heard his brother softly crying from inside. "Sy… Sy, can I talk to you… please?"
"…Alright." Zane heard Syrus say.
Zane entered the room to see Syrus sitting on the bed, crying. He sighed and closed the door behind him before walking over to the bed himself and sitting down next to Syrus. "Sy… I'm really sorry about what I said down there. I just got a little mad and… said some things that I shouldn't have said. What I'm trying to say, Sy is… I love you." Zane said.
Syrus stopped crying and looked at Zane. Then, wiped away the rest of his tears and asked, "Really?"
"Yes… really." Zane replied, and Syrus' heart swelled with happiness, but soon crashed and burned when Zane said his next words. "…As my little brother."
Syrus could feel tears in his eyes again and he started crying again.
Zane obviously noticed. "What's wrong, Sy? I told you I was sorry."
"No… it's not that." Syrus said. "These are tears of joy." He lied. Syrus then flung himself on Zane and cried into his chest.
Zane was surprised by Syrus' outburst in 'happiness', but hugged him back anyway, just wanting to hold his brother close. Then, he felt a few of his own tears slip from his eyes. "I'm sure gonna miss you, Sy!"
"I'll… miss you too, Zane! It just won't be the same without you!"
"I know. I love you," Zane whispered into Syrus' ear, and then regrettably added, "Little brother."
-- A few minutes later --
Zane and Syrus came downstairs and saw everyone in front of the stereo.
"There you guys are!" Jaden said. "We're just gonna play a little song for Sy and Ama!" He said, then pressed the play button on the CD player and playing the song, Here's to the Night. (A/N: That's my sister's graduation song!)
So denied, so I lied
Are you the now or never kind?
In a day and a day love
I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had?
Are you cool with just tonight?
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Put your name on the line
Along with place and time
Want to stay, not to go, I want to ditch the logical
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's gonna come too soon
All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go
Don't let me let you go
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Too soon
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's gonna come too soon
By now… everyone was crying.
