-- The next morning --

Zane wolk up on the couch and felt something on top of him. He looked down and Syrus was sleeping on him, his head near Zane's heart. 'Right where he belongs.' Zane thought, happily. Then he saw Angel sleeping on Syrus' stomach. 'I shouldn't move. I don't want to wake either of them up. I'll just stay here.' He thought, and tried to stay still, but it was really uncomfortable. So he did end up moving a little bit, and it was enough to wake both Syrus and Angel up. Angel went over to her doggy bed while Syrus stayed where he was.

"Sy... could you possibly get off me?"

"Why? I like it here. Why would I want to get up?" He said, and Zane blushed a little bit.

"Really, Syrus. You should get up now." Zane said as he wrapped his arms around Syrus' waist, his fingers tickling Syrus' stomach through his shirt.

"Hey! I'm ticklish remember?"

"Oh, you are?" Zane asked in a teasing tone.

"What?" Syrus asked. But before he could even react, Zane started to tickle him, both above and under his shirt. "No! Zane, stop it! That tickles! Stop it! Mercy! Uncle!" Syrus said, while laughing and tears started coming into his eyes. Zane stopped, but kept his hands under Syrus' shirt. "Zane?"

"Hmm?"

"Why do you still have your hands under my shirt?"

"I don't know." Zane said, then leaned over so his mouth was right by Syrus' ear. "Maybe it's because I like being able to touch your bare skin." He whispered, and Syrus blushed. Especially when Zane's hands began to caress and stroke the soft skin. Syrus couldn't help but close his eyes and start moaning. "You like that?" Zane whispered into Syrus' ear. Syrus felt his heart skip a beat when Zane kissed his neck.

"Y-yes." Syrus whispered, panting heavily and blushing madly.

"What was that, Syrus? I can't hear you."

"Yes." Syrus said, louder this time.

"Yes what?"

"Yes. I like what you're doing. And I don't want you to stop." Syrus said, and his moaning started to get louder.

'Now I got him right where I want him.' Zane thought with a smirk. Then he turned Syrus around and pinned him to the couch. Syrus couldn't help but cry out in pleasure as Zane placed a hand in between his legs and started stroking him. Zane put his mouth by Syrus' ear again.

"You're already so hard." Zane whispered, and Syrus' blush deepened, as impossible as it may seem. "So am I." Zane whispered. Syrus cried out in pleasure again as Zane started to grind up against him. Syrus could feel Zane's erection grinding against his and it just made him want more.

"Ohhhhh... Zane." Syrus moaned, breathlessly. Zane leaned down and kissed Syrus' neck again then licked it, making Syrus shiver.

"You're beautiful, Syrus." Zane whispered and Angel growled, which caused them both to freeze and the door opened. "What the hell?" He asked just as Luna came into the room. "What the hell are you doing here, Luna?! How did you get in here?! You gave me your key, remember?"

"Yes, but you don't actually think that I would give you that key without making a spare first?" Luna said as she showed them her key. "But it looks like I've interrupted some fun you were having." She said, coldly. (Note: Zane is still on top of Syrus.)

"What the hell do you care? You left."

"Yes, but I asked you to reconsider."

"And I said no."

"That does it! If you're not gonna take me back then I'm gonna ruin your job and life! Along with your little boyfriend's!"

"Syrus has nothing to do with this, Luna! Leave him out of it!"

"No! I will not leave him out of it! The both of you are finished!" Luna yelled, then Angel started barking at her. "Get away from me you filthy mutt!" She yelled as he kicked Angel across the room and Angel hit a wall with a wimper and fell down.

"Angel!" Syrus yelled as he broke away from Zane's grasp and ran for Angel.

"And that is where I draw the line!" Zane yelled. Then he grabbed Luna's arm, opened the side door, and pushed Luna out the door. She rolled down the porch steps, but still had enough energy to make it to her car.

"You're gonna regret doing that, Zane."

"I don't fuckin' care! I don't care what you do to me! Just leave Syrus and Angel out of it!" Zane yelled, then slammed and locked the door. Then he went over to Syrus, who was holding Angel in his arms, and hugged him. "I'm so sorry, Syrus. Is she okay?"

"I don't know. We have to get her to a vet." Syrus said. Then Zane looked out the window to see Luna driving down the driveway.

"Okay. Lets go." Zane said so they went out to the car and drove Angel to the vet.

-- At the Vet's --

The vet came into the waiting room where Zane and Syrus were after taking a look at Angel.

"Well?" Zane asked.

"I have good news and bad news."

"What's the good news?" Syrus asked.

"The good news is that Angel is not going to die and is perfectly healthy... except for one thing."

"And that one thing is?"

"Well that's... the bad news."

"Then tell us."

"She is perfectly healthy, but... she has a broken leg." The vet said. "How did she get hurt?"

"My ex-wife. She came into the house and while Angel was trying to keep her away... she got kicked by Luna and hit the wall."

"Your ex-wife could go to jail for that. It is animal abuse after all."

"I know... and I really wish she would too."

"Well... about Angel. We're casting her leg right now. You will have to give her medicine and it does require using a needle." The vet said as he handed Zane a bottle of clear liquid and a needle connected to a tube.

"Okay." Zane agreed.

-- That night --

Syrus was sitting on the couch looking at Angel who was sleeping in her doggy bed across the room. They had just given her the first dose of her medicine and she fell asleep. (another note: The Vet said that the medicine would make her sleepy.) Then Zane came into the room and sat down next to him.

"Hi Syrus."

"Hi."

"What's the matter?"

"I can't help but feel that you lied to me."

"About what?"

"You said that Luna wasn't going to ruin you."

"And she's not."

"Yeah, well... I don't think that's true. Please don't lie to me, Zane. It makes me feel like you don't like me when you lie to me."

"I do like you, Syrus. I love you. You know I do." Zane said, then kissed Syrus' neck.

"Zane, please... not now."

"If not now, when?"

"Look... I better go."

"Go? Where are you going?"

"Home."

"But Sy-"

"Please, Zane... you didn't expect me to stick around her forever, did you?"

"Well... yeah."

"Zane, don't you think it's about time we started our own lives?" Syrus said as he stood up and went to the chair where his coat was.

"We have. We're just still in each other's... that's all." Zane replied. Then he went over to the chair, wrapped his arms around Syrus' waist from behind, and kissed his neck again.

"Zane, please."

"You can't run forever, Syrus."

"I'm not running from anything."

"You're running from me."

"I am not." Syrus said. Then Zane spun him around and pinned him up against the wall next to the chair.

"Then what are you doing?"

"I'm going home! What do you think I'm doing?!" Syrus yelled. "Now let me go!" He yelled, broke free of Zane's grasp, and left.

'Syrus, is gone... and forgot Angel.' Zane thought, sadly. 'I'll never see him again.' He thought as a tear ran down his cheek. 'I wonder if I could forget if I got drunk...' He thought as he went over to the cabinet with all the acoholic drinks.

-- The next morning --

Syrus came into the house and Angel came running up to him. (Or as fast as a dog with a cast can run.) She looked a little worried. Syrus could see it in her eyes.

"Hi Angel. Where's Zane?" Syrus asked, and Angel whimpered as she looked in the direction of the bathroom. "In the bathroom?" He asked, and Angel nodded. "Okay." Syrus said as he got up, and went towards the bathroom.

When he got there he could hear Zane, retching.

"Zane, are you okay?"

"Sy?" Syrus heard Zane whisper before throwing up again. Syrus opened the door to see Zane leaning over the toliet with sweat on his forehead, still dressed in the same clothes he had on the night before.

"Zane, what happened?" Syrus said, concern in his voice as he kneeled down next to Zane.

"Hangovers suck." Zane whispered before shuddering.

"Hangover? But that means that you..." Syrus said, then sighed. "Zane, you didn't."

"I did."

"Did you do this because of me?" Syrus asked.

"I couldn't stand the thought of you leaving." Zane said. "I couldn't even forgot you while I was drunk." He said, and Syrus started crying.

"Sy?"

"I'm sorry, Zane. I didn't mean for you to get sick."

"Sy... it's not your fault." Zane said. "I was stupid enough to think I would forget if I got drunk. But... why did you come back?"

"I came back to get my things."

"That's it?"

"Yeah."

"Sy... why are you leaving me?"

"Zane... it's better this way."

"No, it's not." Zane said, then got up and brushed his teeth. "It's not better this way, Syrus. I got drunk and had the worst hangover in my life because you left for one night. If you leave for even longer what do you think is going to happen?"

"I'd hate to think."

"Exactly. So how is this better?"

"Zane... you know I love you, but this is what it has to be like. It's for your future."

"My future? I know what my future is. My future is gonna be you."

"That's exactly the future I want you to avoid."

"Why would I avoid it?"

"Because I don't want you to get hurt, Zane."

"Syrus, answer one thing for me. Do you really love me?" Zane asked.

"...Yes." Syrus answered, and Zane swallowed hard.

"Then... why do you insist on leaving me?!" Zane yelled as he grabbed Syrus' shoulders, roughly.

"I already told you! I don't want you to get hurt!" Syrus yelled back.

"I don't care if I get hurt or not! I just want you by my side!" Zane yelled, and Syrus started crying again. "What's the matter now?!"

"Why are you yelling at me?" Syrus asked, starting to sob, then felt Zane hug him closely.

"I'm sorry, Syrus." Zane whispered. "I just hate the thought of you leaving me and I guess I got a little too carried away." He said, soothingly. "I love you so much."

"I love you too, Zane." Syrus whispered. "That's why I have to leave you. I can't love you."

"Why not?"

"Because I just don't want to hurt you anymore."

"You're not hurting me. No matter what Luna does or anyone else... the only thing that would hurt me is you leaving." Zane whispered, and Syrus pulled back to look at him.

"Then... can I stay with you?" Syrus asked, then sniffled.

"Yes." Zane said with a smile.

"And... can I... move in with you?" Syrus asked.

"Huh? You want to move in with me?"

"Yes that. And the fact that I'm on the verge of getting kicked out anyway. My landlord hates me."

"Well, if that's the case then you can deffinately move in with me."
