Touya's eyes snapped open suddenly; he recalled what had happened earlier. What he had sacrificed in order to protect Yuki from vanishing. His body had recovered from the initial shock but he still felt somewhat weak. He had just drained an immense amount fo magical power from himself; its not like he would be fine within five minutes.

He looked around to see that Yuki was gone; a feeling of dread washed over him. He knew that Yuki was very self conscious and often suffered with self blame. The very idea that his beloved blamed himself hurt him deeply. He had done what he had for Yukito's sake as well as Yue's and he didn't regret it one bit; if it meant they could still exist he was happy.

"Yuki..." He said worriedly. He sat up quickly which he immediately regretted; his head was light and he felt slightly dizzy. It seemed giving up his powers had affected him more than he thought. The feeling was similar to that of low blood sugar but not as serious of a hangover; which he was grateful for.

However he wouldn't let that deter him from seeing Yuki; he needed to know he was ok. He had to make sure he was still here and hadn't vanished. He would do anything to make sure his beloved snow rabbit still existed. He needed to know what had happened wasn't a dream and his beloved snow rabbit was still here and still breathing.

He threw off the covers quickly and dashed to his feet; he opened the door and rushed outside quickly. He sped downstairs desperate to find his beloved; he had to know he was still here.

However what he saw shocked him; he had expected Yuki to be sleeping or have gone out. But this was not the case; Yukito was sat on the couch drinking tea and reading a book.

"Yuki" he repeated slowly relief washing over him. Joy and love filled him as he was able to look upon his snow rabbit again. He had such a content and peaceful expression that it eased any worry from his heart.

Yukito looked up from his book; an expression of relief washed over him. His powers had been returned as Yue so he wouldn't disappear. However he had been worried that he might have done great damage to Touya in the process.

He smiled fondly at the brunette "Touya; I'm glad to see your feeling better" he said gently. He was relieved to see Touya had recovered; the idea of Touya suffering because of him angered him.

Touya's eyes widened slightly; Yuki had been worried about him? But wasn't he the type to be so laid back and relaxed. He worried about others yes but he never really showed his emotions much. Then again Yukito was so complex in both forms that it was hard to know what was on his mind some days.

Yuki bowed his head gently "I'm sorry Touya; now that I've taken your powers you can't see your mother anymore. You had to sacrifice something so precious in order for me to live" he apologized gently.

He loved Touya so much and couldn't put into words how grateful he was for what he had done. However he had taken something dear from Touya which he hated himself for; but thanks to him he could still stay beside him.

Touya felt anger and frustration fill him; he was sad he would never see his mother again. However Yuki was the single most important person in his life; without him he would be dead inside.

He stormed up to Yuki and grabbed his shoulders firmly; he stared into Yuki's brown eyes with his own intense dark brown orbs. "Yuki understand this; It was worth giving up my powers if it means you continue existing" he said solemnly.

To him Yuki was more important than breathing, than sleeping, than eating. Without him in his life he would be miserable and fade away. He had growing feelings for Yue as well but couldn't decide if they were also love. However what he did know was that he couldn't live without either of them that was for damn sure.

Yukito blushed intensely gazing into the tanned boy's eyes. He had loved Touya for so long know but kept it to himself. If anything were to ever happen to him he would never forgive himself. Every time Touya had been hurt or Nakuru went near him he felt pain in his heart like nothing he had ever felt before; and the idea of losing someone so precious would destroy him.

Touya swallowed nervously; he had wanted to say this for so long but had never found the courage. However after nearly losing Yuki he had somehow found the courage to say the words he had always longed to.

"Yuki; I don't know if you've ever been aware but I've been in love with you since before I can remember. Without you my life would have no meaning and I wouldn't be able to have the courage to keep going. If anything were to ever happen to you I don't know if I could live with myself" he said solemnly his eyes genuine and filled with love.

He didn't know if Yuki also felt the same way; but he wanted him to know. He wanted him to realize that no matter who confessed to him; he would be the only person in his heart.

"Touya" Yukito said gently his eyes gentle and filling with tears. His cheeks heated with a gentle blush and happiness filled him up. He too had loved Touya for so long but had believed him to not feel the same.

The fact that he was so dear to Touya as he was to him made him happy. The fact that he was the only one in his heart filled him with joy. He couldn't bare to imagine Touya loving or embracing someone else other than him.

Touya pushed Yukito onto his back pinning him against the sofa. His brown eyes were glazed with desire and love. He had been holding back for what seemed like forever; and now he wanted to kiss his beloved snow rabbit.

He perched above Yuki his arms held either side of Yukito; while the rest rested above him. He took in all of Yuki's features; his brown eyes, his gray hair and his beautiful face. He was so in love with this boy it drove him insane. He was an angel in human form (Literally) but he was his angel and his alone; he wasn't going to share him with anyone.

Yukito stared back into his beloved's eyes; Touya was the single most beautiful person he had ever met both inside and out. The love he carried for him and those dear to him never failed to surprise him.

What the teen was willing to sacrifice or give up for the sake of others was unimaginable. What he had given up to save his life was beyond believable; but it only made his love for him deepen. There were times he felt such love for Touya it took up most of his thought process and even affected him Yue; which showed their hearts were connected.

However he felt bad that Touya was always looking after him; he wanted to show he was capable of looking after him too. He wanted to give Touya some relief showing that it was his turn to rely on him. Which meant he would have to start being more affectionate in that sense to ward off competition.

He raised his hands gently and cupped Touya's cheeks with his own pale hands. His skin was so soft and warm; and his face was so beautiful. He loved every part of Touya; his dark tussled locks, his deep intense eyes, his luscious lips, his well built frame, his long legs all of it. But he mainly loved Touya's heart; the kind, understanding, gentle, mature and caring heart that belonged to him.

He would never give him up to anyone even if it sounded selfish. He wouldn't allow Nakuru or any other person to have him. He wanted Touya to belong to only him and him alone forever. "I love you Touya" Yukito said gently his eyes filled with tender affection. He would never stop loving him; not even god himself tried to make him.

Touya smiled fondly; he had longed to hear those words from Yuki for what seemed like forever. It didn't seem real that he was finally hearing them but it wasn't in his dreams. However he hoped Yue would also return those feelings; since the angel was so stubborn it was hard to tell if he felt any emotions whatsoever.

"I love you too Yuki" he said fondly. He lowered one arm to an elbow and leaned forward slowly. He closed his eyes gently and locked lips with his beloved Yuki after what seemed like forever.

Yuki pulled Touya's cheeks closer to him with his hands; he closed his eyes slowly a single tear spilling over. He was so happy he couldn't really believe it; after all is dreams and wishes his love was returned.

"Touya-chan...Touya-chan loves me too. I'm so glad" he thought tearfully. The very thought that his love wasn't returned didn't bared thinking about.

Touya pressed deeper into this kiss entering his tongue into Yuki's willing mouth. He wanted this moment to last forever; he was finally with Yuki. After all this time he had finally told him how he felt.

"Yuki; I don't care if god himself resents me. All I need is you and only you forever" Touya thought deeply as he kissed Yuki harder.

The pair sat where they were revelling in their love and requited feelings. It had been a long road to get here but finally after all this time; they were together.
