Soubi smothered his face into the pillow, sighing happily. Ritsuka was happy with Soubi today, no yelling at him to go away or glares of anger. Just Ritsuka sitting down with Soubi in the park and enjoying the day. Everything seemed perfect today, there wasn't any need for a love in between them, just their friendship was all.

Sometimes Soubi wished he knew what to do when Ritsuka was having those troubled days. Though sometimes he didn't even want to help him cope with this pain. It was mainly over his precious Seimei right? The jerk who leaves you when you need them the most. Yeah, that's all Seimei was, a con artist who takes what he needs and when he gets it he leaves you to perish.

"Ritsuka, you're still in pain from something that shouldn't. Seimei wasn't all that his appearance gave you to see." Soubi tossed the locket against the wall, watching it break in half and the pictures falling out. "I give up, Ritsuka. I'm not falling with you." Soubi stared up at the ceiling, a glint of tear in his eyes.
