Prologue
Who would have thought that one moment of pleasure, one moment of weakness would have changed my life forever. I had resisted for so long. Fought him off. Telling him that I didn't love him and never would. Finally he caught me at my weakest. The weakest I'd ever been. The one that I loved had left me and I didn't even get the chance to tell him that I loved him. I felt so guilty and so distraught that I would have said or done anything. Anything to feel love.
When he had leaned towards me for that one kiss that he had wanted for so long, I didn't push away. I didn't hit him to get him to stop. I was numb. I closed my eyes and imagined it was him. The thought of it being him made my stomach churn. I deepened the kiss and so did he. Just as I started to feel the tip of his tongue on my lips I could hear the squeal of tires on the edge of my hearing.
I took no notice of it and grabbed his royal blue shirt. I always loved royal blue. In my mind it symbolized a new beginning. I had always gotten a cake with royal blue icing when I was younger for my birthday. It was the beginning of the coming year. A year that would be full of sadness, anger, betrayal, and disaster. But also give happiness, bliss, excitement, and peace. I never knew why the color royal blue sprung out of my mind as a "new beginning" color…but it did. Ironic that he would be wearing a shirt that was of that color.
Suddenly he pulled away and his pleasured face turned to one of horror. The squeal of tires I had heard earlier was now bursting my eardrums. For a moment I wondered why tires would be squealing, but then I realized that we had stopped at the side of the road after I started tearing up from our recent send off of our friend and my love. That is when things got serious. He had told me that he would never leave me and that he loved me with his every fiber. I took the bait and told him to kiss me. I guess I was so heartbroken that all I wanted was to feel another man against me.
Now we were both hearing another car screech toward ours, and he could see it. I wanted to turn around but I couldn't take my eyes off of his emerald ones. They held fear and I realized he wasn't staring at the car coming at me at 75 mph. He was staring at me. Suddenly I realized he feared for my safety. And I feared for his. Just as I heard metal collide against metal, I surged towards him. I covered him with my own body, knowing it wouldn't do much but at least I tried to protect him.
His body under mine was the last thing I felt before my vision went black. The last thing I thought before I succumbed to the darkness was that I had kept him safe. At least the one person that truly loved me was safe. I just wish I would have had the strength to tell him my realization of those few seconds. The one thing he had told me so many times, expecting for an answer that I never gave. All I wanted to say was…
I love you.
Chapter 1
Darkness. That's all I know now. Who was I? Where did I come from? I don't remember. I can barely make out the beep of some machine. It almost sounds like a metronome. The steady beep…beep…beepis almost like music for what I am now. I'm cold and I feel like I'm floating in a dark abyss. But I don't see anything. I only feel it. I feel the darkness, the sound of the beep reverberating through me. It's so loud, but comforting. It's my only tie to whatever world I came from. Whoever I was.
I also hear voices. Faint and blurry. But there. I think I can make out some words. "…in a coma…when or if…wake up." "…let him rest." "Why is he…he protected me…Kazuki!"
Was that voice calling out to me? Am I Kazuki? Oh, now I remember. My name is Kazuki Saito. Who was that? How did it know me? Who were the others? Do I know them? They must be from where I came from. But where was I now? I had no clue.
Rest? Yes…I need to rest. Sleep would be good. Sleep…
"Kazuki...please wake up. I don't know what I would do without you. I'm already a wreck and it's only been a couple days. I want to see the way your blue eyes shine again," I smiled a bit as I looked down at Kazuki's pale face. He looked so peaceful. So innocent. I wanted to kiss him awake like the prince did to Sleeping Beauty. I wanted him to wake up!
I scooted my chair closer so I could lean against the bed he had been laying in for the past two days. I bit my lip. He didn't smell like Kazuki at all. He smelled like the hospital. Curse the doctors for taking away that musky scent that he always had. My heart sped up as I remembered smelling that as I leaned in for that kiss. The kiss that he returned. My body slowed back down as I remembered what happened after that fateful kiss. If I had just kept driving until we got off the highway Kazuki would be awake and smiling.
"I'm sorry," I breathed into the patient gown he wore, "It's all my fault."
"Mr. Yukimura!" A female voice sounded behind me. I didn't bother to look up. "You need to rest! Your leg and your arm need to heal." The nurse said again as she gently pushed me to sit up. I looked at her with my green eyes. A worried look crossed her face. I knew she wasn't worried for my arm and leg. She saw my dull, scared expression I had been wearing for two days. She knew I was more worried about Kazuki than myself.
She sighed and gently spoke, "Haruto, he will be fine. I'll watch over him while you sleep. If he wakes up I will personally come get you." Her eyes seemed sincere. I nodded and grabbed my crutches. She helped me to my feet and before we slowly made our way down the hall I stole one more glance at Kazuki. I pleaded to whoever was listening for Kazuki to be fine. To wake up tomorrow and be totally fine. To run into my arms and kiss me like he had never had before. I missed him.
When I opened my eyes I saw brightness for the first time in what felt like years. I moaned and closed my eyes again. I shifted away from the source of the light and tried to open my eyes again. What I first saw was easy to describe. Pale white walls and a window with the blinds closed next to a door. I glanced to where the light was coming from. It was another window, bigger than the first. Once my eyes adjusted I saw an outstretch of city. What city? I had no clue.
I then heard a strange noise. It sounded like a snore. I looked back to the dark side of the room and saw a man just a couple years older than I was, which was 19. That was one thing I remembered. I couldn't remember anything but my name, my age and the simple things like schooling. I don't remember actually being in school though.
I squinted, trying to make out the shadowy figure of the man sitting in the chair next to the bed I was lying in. My eyes adjusted to the darkness and finally I saw him. I blinked. He was fairly good looking. He had jet black hair that came to his eyebrows in the front and the middle of his neck in the back. His eyes where closed and if I saw right in the shadows, he had tan skin. Why was this man here? I don't remember ever meeting him.
I tried to sit up, but the moment my muscles tightened I let out a grunt of pain. Next to me, the man sat up from his slouched sleep and blinked open his eyes. They were a bright emerald. Like jewels. He looked over and me with a shocked expression.
"K–Kazuki?" he breathed. I looked over at him confused. How did he know my name? "Kazuki!" he exclaimed as he practically jumped in the bed with me. He hugged me and pain shot through my abdomen. I let out another grunt, but this time it was closer to a cry. The man quickly let go as he heard my outburst of pain. "I'm sorry," he said, still breathless, "It's just…I'm so glad to see you awake." He leaned in to hug me again, but this time it was very gentle. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and buried his face in my neck. "I missed you," he whispered.
I squirmed uneasily under his embrace. "Wh–What are you doing?" I asked him, very confused and very uncomfortable. The man withdrew his face from my neck to look me in the eyes.
"I thought because of what you said in the car we would be..." As he trailed off his sentence he leaned down to me. He touched his lips to mine.
What the heck? With all the strength I had as I ignored the pain, I pushed the man away. "Get off of me!" I yelled. The man looked at me confused.
"What?" he asked; hurt clearly in his voice and eyes.
Before the man could say anything, a nurse came into the room. "Is something–" she cut off as she saw me. She brightened up. "Mr. Saito you're awake!" she said, "I'll inform the doctor." Before leaving she gave a friendly smile to the man. "See Haruto? He was going to be fine," she said as she left.
I looked back to Haruto. He was avoiding eye contact. "I–I'm sorry for that," he stuttered, "I'll go call your parents to tell them you are awake." With that he walked out of the room and I noticed he had a slight limp to his right leg. I sighed and wiped my lips as if to get rid of Haruto's lip germs. God I was so confused.
