Zabuza lay in his bed, injured. Haku came in. Zabuza shut his eyes. Haku stood by the bed
"You're ashamed, right?" he said. Zabuza pretended to be sleeping. "Zabuza, I know you're not asleep."
"What would I be ashamed over?" Zabuza muttered, eyes still closed. Haku sighed. "That I am a boy"
"Nothing to be ashamed of" Zabuza mumbled, still not opening his eyes. "Yes, because you sleep with me! And… people know it…" Zabuzas eyes shot open.
"Haku, please! We don't discuss such things!" Zabuza shouted.
"But why Zabuza? I knew it… You are ashamed!" He saw tears forming in Hakus eyes. Zabuza took him by the arm.
"Haku… honey… come here" he whispered and drag Haku down on top of him. He kissed Hakus forehead, then his soft lips. "Oh Haku… I may be ashamed… but not of you. Of myself." Haku got up from the bed.
"I gotta go… somewhere…" Haku said.
"Please stay…" Zabuza whispered. Haku turned around and faced him. "Why?" he looked sad.
"Because I love you" Zabuza breathed.
And so… Haku stayed.
