Prologue

The Koneko could have been a normal shop where people went just to buy flowers, it could have been but it wasn't. The reason why was the four young men who worked there. All of them attractive in their own personal ways.

One was small and cute, one was silent and mysterious, one was tall and seductive and one was charming and innocent. With those four men there it was no wonder that 99 % of the customers were girls who didn't need any flowers at all but bought them anyways.

The shop was flooded with chattering fan-girls, the pale sun shone from a cold sky that promised snow before nightfall. As far as anyone knew it was a rather normal morning but that was about to change.

One of the four men who worked there was in a real pissy mood. He glared at anything and anyone who dared approach him and he was about to snap. When yet another girl 'accidently' brushed against his behind the last of his tightly held control slipped.

"BUY SOMETHING OR GET THE HELL OUT!!" His deep baritone echoed through the shop and the chattering stopped immediately. With ice and promises of torture in his eyes he stared down the sea of girls. A shudder went through them before they ran out.

"Ano Aya-kun," a soft voice mumbled from somewhere behind him. "You're scaring them." Amethyst eyes glared into large blue ones.

"Hn," was the snorted reply that came.

"Seriously speaking, you can't keep doing that you know." Green eyes got the same treatment that blue had gotten seconds ago.

"Shut up and get back to work!" Aya barked and turned his back to them.

"Yes Captain I-have-ice-riding-up-my-butt, Sir," the green eyed man huffed with sarcasm, saluted his frosty friend and strolled over to the door.

"And no smoking in here Kudou," Aya added without even looking. The fourth young man came out from the back room and sighed slightly.

"Omi, could you please take care of that arrangement?" He got a nod and Omi disappeared into the back room. "Yoji please go outside." Yoji gave him a leveled look. "Please?"

"You know Ken you shouldn't stick up for him all the time! Not when he's been…"

"Please?!" Ken pleaded firmly and gave his friend a begging look. A huff and then Yoji was gone. "Aya?" The amethyst man turned around and frowned.

"What?" he snapped and glared at the brunette before him who seemed to shrink slightly.

"Aya I…"

"Not now!" the redhead spat out and glared harder.

"But I just wanted to…"

"I said not now!" Ken lowered his head with a defeated look in his brown eyes. Aya groaned inside. "I'm going out," he muttered darkly and took off his apron.

"When will you be back?" the brunette asked softly and Aya could feel his eyes on him.

"Hn."

"Please Aya we really need to talk." Ken rushed the words out before the redhead could interrupt him. Fuck! Aya cursed to himself. He hated being forced to do things but he couldn't get out of this.

"Not now, later!" he snapped harshly and turned around just in time to see the brunette wince from the tone in his voice.

"Yes, Aya," Ken agreed obediently and hung his head. The redhead glared at him for a while longer before he grabbed his coat and left the shop. Outside the air was crisp and the streets somewhat calm. Aya was lost in thoughts as he strolled aimlessly down the streets of Tokyo.

He was annoyed and irritated that he was forced into doing something that he didn't want to do at all. Growling to himself he kicked an empty bottle over the ground and gritted his teeth. Why the hell should he change things? He was perfectly happy with the way things were but of course it could be that way, oh no.

One little mistake and now everything was slipping through his fingers. He knew the truth would hurt people he was supposed to care about but hey you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. There was nothing he could do about that now and he had always known that secrets never stayed hidded for very long. He had made his bed now he would just have to lie in it.

Aya smirked slightly. The past few months had been so damn good! He had been on top of the world with everything within comfortable reach and he had loved it even if he had known it wouldn't last forever.

Even knowing that he still didn't want it to change, though. But apparently he couldn't have his cake and eat it too. No, things had to change whether or not he wanted them to. He regretted his actions… That was a big fat lie and he knew it. He didn't regret what he had done for even a second, didn't regret a single one of the lies he had told. But he DID regret that he had been caught. The redhead grumbled.

This was going to destroy something that he enjoyed, someone who did exactly what he told them to do and that was what he mourned. Not the person but the fact that the person would leave him now. That was a pity because from that very person he got what he wanted when he wanted it, how he wanted it.

Aya growled in annoyance. God how he hated one of his team-mates! Damn him for sticking his nose into business he had nothing to do with. Maybe the way the redhead had been acting wasn't fair but that was his concern and his concern alone! So what if he walked all over a few people? It wasn't like he was the only one doing that, now was it?

Without looking up he left the safe sidewalk and walked right into the street. Moments later his head snapped up as his ears caught the unmistakable sound of tires trying to stop against ice-covered asphalt. An impact sent him flying up through the air and he landed with a sick thud on the hard cold ground.

This is actually an old fic of mine that I couldn't get out earlier. At the moment I'm rewriting what I have and I'm posting this prologue to see if you guys like it or not.

Oh and no Aya is NOT dead! This is not a death fic so nobody is going to die, I promise. To some this part might seem rather pointless but trust me the whole story is built upon what is said here.

As you probably noticed there's no Yaoi warning in the beginning but if you've read anything else I've written you probably know that there's no need to worry right? The fact that I don't warn about it is because at the moment there's no need for it *S*

If you liked it please let me know, if you didn't like it let me know too and tell me what I can change. Ja/Atsureki
