Chapter 2

Hiro leaned over the sink splashing his face with the cold water he sighed looking up at the mirror looking at his reflection his eyes were still red. He leaned over grabbing a towel drying his face and hands. He grabbed his glasses sliding them on he reached behind him grabbing his black gloves in his back pockets slipping them back onto his hands leaving the bathroom.

Past:

Hiro stood in the corner of the room watching Sebastian socializing with the guest he invited to his wedding.

"He's a goof huh?" the voice asked making Hiro look over.

"Maya." He smiled.

"Enjoying the after party?" Maya asked leaning against the wall keeping him company.

"Y-yeah." He replied a moment of silence passing them.

"You love him too, don't you?" Maya asked making Hiro jump with flushed cheeks.

"Haha what are you talking about?" He asked laughing at the question.

"I've seen the way you look around him Hiro." She added Hiro stood looking away unsure of how to handle the topic at hand.

"It doesn't bother me."

"Huh?" Hiro asked looking at her confused.

"Make me a promise will you?" Maya asked looking up at him.

"If anything happens to me, take care of him ok?" Maya smiled Hiro stood frowning.

"Mayra, don't say such things." Hiro replied.

"Hehe we put our lives on the line everyday Hiro. We never know when it will be our last day." Maya explained Hiro looked down at his drink understanding her point.

Hiro sat at his desk looking over at the paper in his hand, he wasn't actually reading it just staring at it. His mind wondering back to the incident with his partner. Sebastian had walked out on him leaving Hiro alone in the room. Hiro jumped as Sebastian set the coffee mug down in front of him.

"Sebastian…?" Hiro called out looking up at him, Sebastian had his back turned to him leaning against Hiro's desk.

"I wanted to ask, what are you doing here anyway?" Sebastian asked taking a drink from his mug Hiro sat frowning looking up at his partner.

"He's acting as if nothing happened…." Hiro thought to himself lowering his gaze away from Sebastian.

"Just working on some cases..." He replied looking back at the mug on his desk reaching for it.

"It's late you should get rest, you're no good to me tired." Sebastian replied Hiro sat holding his mug in hand.

"R-right…" He replied taking a sip.

Hiro laid in one of the beds at the station he laid looking out the window the moonlight shining in he sighed closing his eyes trying to best to sleep.

"Did he go home?" Hiro wondered opening his eyes a bit till the door to the room opened Hiro laid listening to the footsteps his heart racing knowing who it was. He shut his eyes pretending to listen he felt extra weight on the bed but still he kept his eyes shut and back turned. Sebastian had sat down next to him.

"I'm an ass…" Sebastian spoke.

"I know you're only looking out for me… you always have but what you said today made me remember something… something that Mayra told me…." Sebastian spoke.

"If anything were to happen I want you to still be happy, it will be painful but please live a happy life…"

"I didn't think anything of it at the time, it just didn't ever cross my mind that something would happen, but the jobs we do puts us a risk everyday…"

"So I guess what I am trying to say is…" Sebastian paused looking back at Hiro who still had his back turned. Hiro could feel the weight on the bed shift he could smell Sebastian's scent close to him. Sebastian leaned in place a kiss to his cheek.

"Thank you for loving me…" He whispered Hiro clenched his fist under the sheet still keeping his eyes shut. Sebastian leaned away getting off the bed.
