Ritsuka sat sadly on his bed, tracing the stitching pattern in his bed comforter. Ever since Soubi left to go do a stupid art project in stupid America, he hasnt seen or heard from him in over two and a half weeks.

Sighing, feeling alone and defeated he fell onto his bed and cuddled a pillow. He rubbed the satin pillow to his cheek as small tears reached his eyes.

Not as soft as Soubi

Not as warm as Soubi

Not as loving as Soubi

Ritsuka couldnt lie to himself anymore. He missed Soubi. He looked sadly at hs phone. He had called a week before, but the phone was out of range. He almost left a message but chickened out.

But he was going to this time. He was. He called quickly not wanting to lose his nerve.

Click. Were sorry the phone you are trying to call is out of range. we will send you to this persons maiil box to leavve a message.

And then he heard something that surprised him.,

' Hello, youve reached Soubi's phone. I'm busy at the moment if you leave a message ill call you back as soon as I can...Oh and Ritsuka..I love you.'

Click.-H-he had said he loved him in a very public way. it slightly scared Ritsuka but he wasnt going to back down.

After a few seconds he said what he wanted to say to Soubi before he left.

"I..I love you too!" Quickly shutting the phone, he threw it across the room, quickly cuddling into his blanket, blushing.

After another week working on the art project Soubi was finaly home. Back in Japan, and going to his Ritsuka's home to see him. Checking his phone for the first time since he got back to Japan, he noticed two messages. He opened and listened intently. the first one belonged to his friend kio.

"Soubi! Where are you? When are you coming back? and what the hell is with your answering message, you pervert! Call mee!" Soubi sighed and waited for the next message to begin, waiting for more shouting from his friend, but instead, silence. He listened for a few seconds her heard the most loveley thing since he got home.

"Soubi..I- I love you too!" Soubi smiled and replaced the phone in his pocket.

He was going to see his Ritsuka

His precious Ritsuka
