Slowly and filled with doubt, Yue moved to the corner of his bed. He expected Touya to wake and see him but he desperately and silently wishing that no disapproval would follow. He never thought that he would be welcomed, or ever held in the same way that Touya had held Yukito so many times before. Yue had seen it, through Yuki's eyes. There was so much raw emotion and knowing behind those hazel eyes.

Yuki and Touya had a secret relationship that was hidden away from the world. Not even Sakura had known about it. But he knew and he indulged. Yue began to place his consciousness ever closer to Yuki's in the hopes that he could feel as Yuki felt and play as Yuki played. This strange feeling in his stomach and in his heart urged him not to wait. What Yue thought was a deep admiration for the man who so closely resembled his former master began to take a turn for more intimate musings. He looked over at Touya's slim but athletic build with desire in his eyes. Emotions were pouring out now, things that he hadn't felt since Clow had kissed him that one and only time, long ago under the safety of the full moon. Yue smiled almost as lightly as his other half. Why did his heart tug at him so much over this person... this being? Why was his eyes thirsty for his form, why was his fingertips tingling with the thought of them on his strong frame, why did his lips ache to fit together like a puzzle piece with his even when all Touya had to do was lay there.

Touya was quiet and serene, his dark hair lightly shifting to cover those sleep dewed eyelashes, his mouth slightly open and his hands resting softly on his stomach. Yue's head swam with thoughts and burdens, but all he could do was take in Touya's form. Yue's legs gave out right were he was standing, the moon guardians facade was slipping.

His wings had long since disappeared and he trailed his pale slender fingers down along his soft hair to the clasp that restrained it and he forcefully abandoned it. As he pulled himself up with the help of the corner of the bed his long silver strands fell in almost every direction. Weighed down by his own hesitation. Yue slowly moved from where he was to Touya's side, letting the extra cloth on his shoulder to be pulled away by the corner were he once stood so dazed. He crawled quietly until his eyes were directly above Touya's, looking down onto his face Yue saw the light peace of sleep.

It was then that Touya caught the familiar scent of Yue's silky hair billowing around him, encasing him in an unavoidable rouse. Touya opened his eyes and saw those cat like orbs, the ones that had absorbed him the first time he laid his own upon them that night at the temple. Yue's eyes widened as Touya lifted his hand up to slightly touch the moonlit cheek of the guardian.

"Touya.." Yue whispered, those cold and lonely eyes reflecting him like water.

"hmm?" He asked, as he floated his fingers though the soft currents of Yue's loose hair and closed his eye's once more. There was no need for a reply as Yue finally relaxed and comfortably rested his head on Touya's chest. Yuki may be upset in his decision to love Yue because he was a quiet and stern counterpart of him, but it was a halved relationship and not all decisions lay solely on Yukito.

'I love all of you Yuki, and Yue is part of you, maybe even a huge chunk of you and I hope you realize that."

The next morning Yue woke in the same spot he had finally settled the night before. He looked up to find Touya still sleeping, but with a hand rested on the arch of Yue's back. Heat began to rise in his face and he shifted slightly. The light of the clock read seven and he sighed in relief. Yue pulled himself up reluctantly and got out a piece of paper. Writing Yukito was a force of habit now considering that he couldn't see what Yue saw when he took control, it was only fair. He left the note on the floor before his feet and after a good long look at the sleeping Touya, began the swift process of changing back. The warm aura of Yukito's arrival had stirred him and he slowly opened his eyes to find him reading the note that Yue left behind with concern in his heart. Hastily Yuki glanced over at him. What was there to ask, what did he have to say? All of it had been explained in the tiny note, but it didn't explain the emotion behind it, Yue was and is still lonely and in the brink of Yuki's mind he reached out to Touya, but shrank back until he sat in the one silent corner he had occupied for so long.

Authors note: I understand that in here I'm making Yue seem like a loveless child but to me he is, and is condemned behind his solid emotionless mask. Which he isn't suppose to be. Honestly I think that Clow wanted Yue to discover the joy's of love, feelings and emotions, and now through Yukito he is.
