"Keigo…Keigo!" Saeki called his name.
Slowly, blue eyes shone itself, seeing the blue sky above him as colorless cotton candy clouds float unknowingly by. Eyes shifting, looking towards his beloved boyfriend sitting beside him as he lay, he spoke, "Kojirou…is there something wrong?"
"Meh, Keigo, you keep daydreaming when I talk to you these days. Is there something wrong?" Saeki asked.
Atobe Keigo and Saeki Kojirou had met when both of them were arguing about who bumped who into the cold sea water. After being challenged to a beach volleyball game by a pair of friends on that same day and winning it, the two of them had become enemies. Eventually, the tension between them had grown too great and so Atobe and Saeki had fallen for each other, but never did they admitted it. In the end, their relationship had started with Atobe's desired kiss on Saeki, both of them eventually falling in deep love for one another afterwards.
"No…" Atobe answered in monotone to Saeki's question.
"You know I don't like to be ignored…" Saeki informed. "Besides, this had been happening since last week. Is there something wrong, Keigo? If there is, please tell me…"
Atobe's arm wrapped around Saeki's waist, pulling him closer until he was able to lean his head on his lover's hips. "I don't want to go," Atobe admitted suddenly, his eyes halfway closed.
Saeki's head shot down to look at Atobe, unable to understand. "What do you mean?" Saeki asked, confusion written all over his face.
"We weren't meant to be," Atobe answered, not moving from his former position.
"What? Why are you saying this to me all of a sudden!" Saeki stood up, looking down at Atobe who now lye in the healthy green grass, staring right back at him with pained blue eyes. "What's going to happen?" Saeki asked, feeling hopeless.
"I'm going to Germany…" was the Hyotei captain's quick reply.
"Then I'll wait for you," Saeki said in a gentle, quiet voice, fiddling his fingers.
"No, I'm going there for good."
Bright blue eyes opened wide, wind blowing gently at his bleached hair. "How come?"
Now standing beside the Rokkaku vice captain, Atobe answered, "Because, my parents are not very proud of the person I had chosen to love, so, now, they had decided to keep me away from you and ending our love." His hand reached for Saeki's, holding it dearly and tightly, not wanting to let go. "Whatever you do, Kojirou…Don't wait for me."
"Keigo…" Saeki looked upon the face of the man he loved, seeing tears roll down his cheeks. "When do you leave…?"
"First thing in the morning…I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner…"
Freeing his hand from Atobe's, Saeki stood before him, staring passionately into the blue eyes filled with pain. Just then, he threw his arms around Atobe and wrapping it around his waist, laying his head on his beloved's shoulder. "It's okay," Saeki reassured Atobe, tears streaming from his eyes as he felt Atobe's arms wrap around his shoulders. "I love you, Keigo…" Saeki whispered.
"I love you, too…." Atobe replied, burrowing his face into Saeki's soft hair.
Holding onto his lover tightly, feeling his warmth for the last time, Saeki told him, "If only time would stop…"
