Two
years have pasted since Ayumu and Kanone have left for England, Eyes
have done everything in his power to get Ayumu back. But know matter
how hard it seemed he had messed up some how in the long run because
a letter he got from Kanone told him that Ayumu and Kanone are now
together.
Now
Madoka's birthday is coming up and Kousuke had said he got a letter
saying Ayumu is coming home for it, but he hadn't said anything to
Kanone yet. Eyes might still have a chance to get Ayumu back.
In
a little two bed room apartment in England Ayumu Narumi sat on a
window seal looking out across the skyline. He sighed deeply to
himself, he was leaving tomorrow and still he hadn't told Kanone.
But that was because he new Kanone wouldn't let him go.
Also
because Kanone had been rude and abuses of these last weeks, which
meant he found out somehow that he was leaving. And he was pissed
because he hadn't told him that he was leaving. Kanone went through
a lot of trouble to go to bed early even. He didn't even try to get
sex out of him like he normally did; it was really weird and all.
He
sighed again as he heard movement in the other room. Kanone was
awake. Which meant he couldn't sleep ether, or he was reading all
this time and needs a drink. It didn't matter really which one it
was because at that moment Kanone walked out of his room. He took one
look at Ayumu and headed to the kitchen.
"Are
you going to at least fix something to eat for breakfast…before you
have to leave?" He asked without looking up.
"So
you do know…?" Ayumu said getting up, and heading for the kitchen
as well.
Kanone
didn't say anything he just got down two wine glasses and some red
wine. Then took a seat and watched Ayumu as he started to heat up the
stove and get out ingredients for chocolate chip pancakes. They were
Kanone's favorite.
Kanone
poured a glass of wine for his lover and himself. He was pissed and
he didn't care if he hurt Ayumu or not. The thought of Ayumu
keeping such a thing as in he going back home a secret, normal it
wouldn't brother him so much but Eyes was still in Japan and Kanone
new how Eyes truly felt about Ayumu. And that was the problem Ayumu
didn't know and Eyes has been waiting for the chance to tell Ayumu,
to get him back.
"Kanone…?"
Ayumu asked.
Kanone
looked up into sad light-brown eyes, he forgot everything he was
going to say and just stared. "Ayumu…." He whispered his name
as he reached out to him taking him into his arms and pulling onto
his lap. "I'm sorry…I just don't want to lose you to someone
else…" Kanone's lips were next to Ayumu's right ear.
Ayumu
wrapped his arms around Kanone's neck and kissed the side of his
neck. "I wouldn't want anyone other then you Kanone," He said.
Kanone
pulled him closer, and captured his lips with his own. "I'm
glad…so glad…" He said. "So when will you be back?"
"I'm
not for sure…but you can always come with me you know?" Ayumu
said.
"I'll
think about it…." He said. "Ok so I thought about it and I
would love to, but I have something's to do first so I will catch
up with you in Japan in about a week."
"I'll
be waiting for you love," Ayumu whispered before kissing Kanone
again. Then he got up and grabbed the pan off the stove and started
to put the pancakes on a plate.
After
he and Kanone eat their early, as in way early, breakfast, Kanone
wrapped his arms around Ayumu and pulled him to his room. "Your
mine for the rest of the night, Kitten," he said with a smirk.
Ayumu
smiled and let Kanone pull him into the room, the door shut behind
them…
- - - - -
Madoka
stood in the airport waiting calmly for Ayumu's plane to arrive.
She looked around to see if any of the blade children would show up,
but she didn't see any of them. She sighed; it felt good to know he
would be coming back and that he didn't leave her like Kiyotaka
did.
The
airport announcer came over the intercom announcing that the plane
Ayumu's on had just arrived. Madoka almost up and ran to the gate
to watch the boarders leave the gate. She kept thinking, "he wasn't
able to come Kanone found out and wouldn't let him come…" Then
at that moment Ayumu walked out of the gate. Madoka throw her arms
around him.
"Ayumu
you've come back!" She all but screamed.
Ayumu
hugged her back. "Yes I'm back Madoka…" He said.
"For
how long?" She asked.
"Until
Kanone comes for me." He said.
"Ayumu
are you and Kanone…?" She didn't finish. "Never mine. I don't
want to know."
Ayumu
smiled, "I love you Madoka it's so good to be home." He said.
The
two of them left the airport and headed to the apartment Ayumu grow
up in while he was in high school.
Four
figures watched Ayumu as he walked away with his sister-in-law,
Hiyono, Rio, Kousuke, and Ryoko all looked at each other worried.
"So
little Narumi is back." Kousuke said.
"Looks
that way…." Ryoko said.
"But
that's good," Rio said. "That means Eyes will be happy."
The
other three looked at her sadly, they knew that Eyes turned her down
because he's been in love with Ayumu all these years.
"Don't
worry, Rio, of course he'll be happy…" Hiyono said.
Rio
smiled at them, "I'm ok…as long as he's happy…let's tell
him that Ayumu's back. Come on!" She said and ran off towards the
entrances.
"Well
you heard the girl, let's go!" Ryoko yelled and grabbed Kousuke's
hand and took off after Rio.
"You
guys go on ahead!" Hiyono yelled after them. "I'm going to say
hi to Ayumu!"
"Alright
Hiyono!" They both yelled at her. "We'll see you later!"
Hiyono
smiled weakly and started towards Madoka's house.
- - - - -
Ayumu
walked into his old room and it was like walking into a time capsule.
Time stopped as he looked around, nothing had changed. The room was
exactly how he left it, all the pictures of the entire blade children
and him, all together happy. As he walked around a picture caught his
eyes. A picture of Eyes, Eyes was sitting at his piano looking as
sexy as ever.
"I
kept it exactly how you left it," Madoka said from the doorway.
"Yes…I
see that thank you, Madoka."
"Sure
just tell me if you go out…please?"
"Will
do."
"Ok…"
Madoka shut the door to his room and Ayumu heard her walk away from
the door.
He
looked around one more time then throw him self down on the bed.
"Hello bed…" He closed his eyes and sweet dreams came.
- - - - - -
Hiyono
arrived at Madoka's apartment and knocked on the door. Madoka
answered the door not at all surprised to see her.
"Hello
Hiyono," She said. "He's in his room."
"Ok
thanks!" She said and ran to the back of the apartment and knocked
a t the door. He didn't answer. "Ayumu!" She yelled. She opened
his door and peered inside. Ayumu lay on the bed asleep. "Oh!"
She shut the door.
"He's
asleep," She said with a smile. "I'll come by again tomorrow."
She walked to the front door, opened it and turned around, "You
know it's good to have him back." Then the door closed.
Madoka
sunk back and looked into Ayumu's room. "It's good to have you
home."
- - - - -
Eyes
Rutherford stared at his fellow blade children as they told him that
Ayumu was in back in town.
"Eyes
you know what this means you can finally tell him how you feel,"
Kousuke said.
"No…Kanone
is probably having him watched." Eyes said.
"He
wouldn't dear!" Rio yelled.
"Rio,
he would, to keep Ayumu away from me he would."
The
three looked around at each other sadly, "Ok Eyes we'll be going
now." Kousuke said and all three of them left.
- - - - -
Eyes
went for a walk like he always did, but this time he ended up out
side Ayumu's apartment. He looked up at Ayumu's bedroom window
and watched as Ayumu wake up though the bedroom.
Ayumu
heard his cell phone ring and his eyes snapped open. He dived into
the mess of stuff on the floor searching for his phone; he found it
in his coat pocket. He flipped open his phone and said "Hello?"
"Ayumu,
are you ok?" The voice asked on the other end.
"Kanone…?"
Ayumu asked. "Yeah. I'm fine, why?"
"I
haven't heard from you since you got on the plane…I was worried,"
He said.
"I'm
alright," Ayumu said. "I'm glad to hear from you."
"I'm
glad to hear your voice to Kitten," He said.
Ayumu
smiled and his eyes drifted out the window where they locked on a
figure in tight black leather pants and a sliver shirt, his breath
caught in his throat.
"Ayumu?"
Kanone asked after a bit of silence.
"Yeah…um…can
I call you back?" He asked.
"Yes,
sure, what's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing
I'll call you back…" Ayumu hung up the phone and ran out of the
room and head for the door.
"Ayumu
where are you going?" Madoka asked as he ran by.
"Out!"
He yelled and was out the door, it shut behind him.
Eyes
had just turned to leave when he heard his name; he turned around and
came face to face with Ayumu.
"Eyes…I
thought I was crazy," Ayumu said. "Hi…how are you?"
"Ayumu…?"
He asked. "So you are back?"
"Yes
Eyes, I'm back," Ayumu said.
"Is
he back with you?" Eyes asked.
"No,
but maybe he'll be down latter," Ayumu said. "I'll let him
know you asked."
"You
don't have to…"
"Don't
worry he'll be happy to know you asked."
"Sure…um…I
have to go…" Eyes turned and started to walk away.
"Wait!"
He
stopped but didn't turn back around, "What little Narumi."
"Little
Narumi, again and here I thought we were close enough to be on first
bases."
"Ayumu
what do you want?"
"I
want to see you later," Ayumu said. "Can I come to the studio?"
Eyes
didn't answer he just started to walk away again. Ayumu thought he
wouldn't answer but finally he did.
"Yes."
"How
about at the end of this week?" Ayumu called after him.
Eyes
never answered.
- - - - -
Madoka
watched from the widow, she smiled as she watched Ayumu look around
then kick the ground and head back towards the apartment. She stepped
away from the window just as the phone rings.
She
answered it, "Hello Narumi reradiates."
"Madoka
how is my Ayumu?" Kanone voice said on the other line.
"Ayumu
is…he is…Ah!" The door opened and Ayumu entered. "Oh! Ayumu
Kanone's on the phone." She said and handed him the phone.
"Kanone?"
"Ayumu!
Is everything alright?" He asked.
"Yes,
I just saw a old face…Eyes asked about you," Ayumu said.
"Eyes!"
"Yes,
he's the old face I was talking about."
"He
didn't try anything did he?"
"Kanone!"
"What?"
"Eyes
are my friends he wouldn't do that."
"You
don't know him the way I do, Ayumu."
"But
I do know him!"
"For
get it I just was calling to let you know I should be down in time
for Madoka's birthday party."
"That's
great…"
"I'll
call you back later."
The
phone went died.
- - - - -
A
week later.
Ayumu
walked to Eyes apartment he hadn't seen him since that day outside
his apartment. But he had seen everyone else they all wanted to ketch
up with him and find out how he'd been. Some of them seemed a
little shocked to learn about him and Kanone. But that didn't
matter to him. He just smiled and nodded agreeing with everything
they said about Kanone because he knew it was true. But now he was
going to see Eyes.
So
here he was standing in front of Eyes apartment staring at the door
trying to figure out if he should knock or ring the bell or just
changer his mind and leave. He leaned against the door as a sweet
sound came into the hall, Eyes was playing the piano. Oh, how he
missed playing. Even if it was only for secret, he still played. But
since he left he hadn't touched the keys. Will he ever touch them?
He did know…
He
pushed off the wall but lost his balance and fell. A loud "bang"
was heard and the piano came to a stop. The door opened and Eyes
stared out at Ayumu who lay on the ground rubbing his head.
"Ouch…"
"Ayumu…what
are you doing here?" Eyes asked.
"Well
I could be wrong but I thought I asked to come by to see you,"
Ayumu said. "And well I heard the piano so I didn't want to
bother you, so I was lessoning here in the hall."
Eyes
smiled and tilled his head to the side. "Please come in little
Narumi," He said offering his hand to help Ayumu up.
Ayumu
reached up and grasped his hand. He pushed himself up as Eyes pulled
him up.
"Thanks
for the help."
"Sure…now
come on in."
Eyes
and Ayumu went inside the studio; it looked just how it was two years
ago.
"The
studio hasn't changed…. I'm glad," Ayumu said. "Everything
has changed since I left. Kousuke and Kyoko are getting married in
about two years after Kyoko graduates. Hiyono is writing for a
newspaper and she's only in her second year of collage. I mean I
didn't even know that was possible."
Eyes
sat silently on the piano stool not saying anything, just lessoning
to what he said.
"So
what's happing with you?" Eyes asked when Ayumu stopped for
breath.
"Nothing
much," Ayumu answered. "I'm back just for Madoka's birthday."
"Are
you and Kanone together?"
"Yes…"
Silence.
"He's
really um…nice."
"Kanone?
Sure whatever you say… he probably won't let you even look at
another guy for fear you'll find someone better then him."
"Yeah…I
didn't tell him I was leaving to go home. He just found out. He was
really mad at me."
"Why?
He can't keep you away from your only family."
"He
knows that it's just that he was afraid, old feelings would come
back…"
"Old
feelings?" Eyes felt his heart skip a beat. "What old feelings?"
"It
doesn't matter…it's in the past…"
"Oh…alright…"
Eyes
started to play the piano to show he didn't feel like talking
anymore. Which was fine because Ayumu didn't want to talk ether.
They sat together for the longest time just lessoning to the piano.
"Ayumu
do you still play?" Eyes asked.
"No…"
Ayumu looked down at the keys wanting so much to reach out and play
but he gave the piano up for good when he went to England.
"Do
you want to play?" Eyes asked. He saw the look on Ayumu's face
and the longing in his eyes to touch the piano and make beautiful
music.
"No
I better not…"
"Kanone's
not here."
Ayumu
looked up startled, his eyes met Eyes's eyes and then he looked
away. "What makes you thank I quiet because of Kanone?" He asked.
Eyes
smiled and reached out and placing his hand under Ayumu's chin, he
lifted it until their eyes met.
"I
know Kanone."
"Well
your wrong! I quiet because I wanted too!"
"I
will not believe that."
"Why
not?"
"Because
you love to play, just as much as I do."
Eyes
still stared into Ayumu's eyes, and Ayumu into his. Ayumu couldn't
pull away from that gaze. The silence that filled the room was almost
to much as they stared at each other. It was clear to anyone that
there was still something they're hidden and about to be unlocked
after all these years.
Eyes
couldn't take it any longer if he stared into those light-brown
eyes any longer he would do something he might regret. He looked away
and back to the piano. Ayumu sighed. He liked looking into Eyes's
eyes.
As
the night ware on the two of them made plans to see each other again
before Ayumu went back to England. Then it was time for Ayumu to
leave, as he was putting on his coat and getting ready to leave the
studio, Eyes stopped him and just stared at him.
"Ayumu…I
have something I want to tell you before you walk out that door,"
Eyes said.
"What
is it?" Ayumu asked.
"Well
you see…um…this is so not easy…." Eyes muttered.
Ayumu
just tilted his head to the side confused. "Eyes…?"
Eyes
stared at him for what seemed like forever then muttered some thing
like, "Here goes nothing…" Then he reached out and grabbed
Ayumu pulling him into his body and kissed him.
Ayumu's
eyes widen and he gasped which just gave more access to his mouth for
Eyes. When they pulled apart it wasn't because Ayumu wanted Eyes to
stop it was because they ran out of breath.
Ayumu
looked at Eyes panting. "Why'd…pant…you…pant…kiss…me…?"
Ayumu asked.
Eyes
gave a little smile and said, "Because I love you little Narumi."
Ayumu
blinked and backed up to the door, "No… you can't…. why
now…?" Tears threatened to appear. Ayumu opened the door and was
gone.
On
his way to the apartment his mind kept asking, "Why?" "Why now
of all times? Why?" he couldn't answer. He was happy. He was
loved and then he had to come back here and get kissed…and he
enjoyed it too! He was evil! He said he would fall for Eyes and he
did. Well not exactly…he'd been in love with Eyes his whole life.
He just thought that he was finally over him, after two years with
Kanone you would thank he was over him, right? But he wasn't and
now he new it.
He
looked up just in time to see someone waiting for him in the darkness
up ahead, as he got closer, he recognized the figure.
"Kanone?"
He asked, the darkness.
Kanone
stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Ayumu and nuzzled his
neck. "I missed you Kitten," He whispered.
Ayumu
felt the tears finally fall as he hugged Kanone back. Kanone seemed
surprised by this and worried.
"What's
wrong?" He asked. "Why are you crying?"
"Nothing
I'm just glad to see you?"
- - - - -
Ayumu
avoided any talk of Eyes and stayed close to Kanone. He figured if he
could prove to himself that he loved Kanone he would feel better. But
Eyes wouldn't leave his mind. He felt like he would die if he
didn't talk to someone or something!
He
went for a walk telling Kanone he was going shopping and stopped by
Hiyono's. Hiyono was happy to see him and even happier to know he
was here to talk about Eyes. He told her everything that happen and
she told him that Eyes had been in love with him even before he left
to go to England. Which shocked Ayumu because he never new.
They
talked about him and Kanone too. By the time Hiyono was done hearing
everything she came to the conclusion that Eyes and Ayumu were made
for each other but she didn't tell Ayumu that she just told him he
had to figure out his true feelings and tell Kanone what they are,
even if they will hurt Kanone or not hurt him. Kanone needs to know
and so does Eyes. She said that would be the first step to getting
through darkness.
So
Ayumu went home and lay alone in bed thanking not sure what to thank
about or what's right. He stared at the ceiling. He knew right away
out of the two who was the better kisser, Kanone, but he also had
lots of experience and Eyes hadn't from what he new. Yet still
Eyes's kiss was a lot sweater then Kanone's ever was. So Eyes won
that…
They
both had sexy bodies, so they tied on that…
They
both liked him…
He
rolled over onto his side, "Why did they like him?" He thought.
It
just confused him more. He didn't know what he wanted anymore!
Eyes, or Kanone? Light, or Dark?
Hiyono
said he needed to get through darkness. He didn't understand what
she meant, but Hiyono was hard one to understand.
A
knock came at his door, "Ayumu, are you ok?" Madoka asked.
"Fine!"
He called through the door.
"Hiyono
told me you asked her some questions today…" She said. "I could
help if you want…"
Ayumu
got up and opened the door, "Can you tell me who I should be with
Eyes, or Kanone?"
Madoka
blinked, "Eyes."
Ayumu
stared at her, "How do you know?"
"I've
seen the way you to look at each other. You do not look at Kanone the
same way."
Ayumu
walked back into his room and lay back down. Madoka said from the
door way, "Thank about it Ayumu, he's loved you all this time,
and if Kanone really loved you he would let you go." She walked
away. Ayumu lessoned to her foot steps walk down the hall.
"Kanone…do
you really love me?"
He
picked up the phone and picked out Eyes's name from the phone book
on his phone and pushed 'call'.
Eyes
answered the phone "Hello, little Narumi?"
"Hello
Eyes? Can I come to the studio?"
"Alone?"
"Yes…why?"
"I
heard he's in to Eyes?"
"Yes
you can."
"I'll
be over in a little."
The
phone went died. Ayumu got up and left the house, he walked right up
to Eyes studio door and before he could even knock the door opened
and Eyes stood there.
"Is
something wrong?" Eyes asked.
"No,
I just wanted to come by."
Eyes
stepped out of the way and let him in.
Ayumu
walked over to the piano and ran his hands over the keys then looked
up at Eyes who was watching his hands and said, "Can I play?"
Eyes
almost tripped walking over to Ayumu when he heard this question.
"Yes."
Ayumu
smiled and sat down, then like his hands were born to do nothing but
play they danced across the key and music filled the room. When he
finished the song he looked up at Eyes and said, "Eyes do you love
me?"
Eyes
breath caught in his throat, "Yes."
"Good.
I choose you."
Eyes
stared at him, "And Kanone?"
"Will
be mad and most likely hate us for it, but I can't stay with him.
Even if in the end I was wrong I want to know how it feels to love my
first love."
Eyes
smiled and wrapped his arms around Ayumu, "Move back here with me."
"Maybe…"

Fin. Review and maybe I'll write another.
