"I don't know what happened. All I know is that it didn't only hurt me, it also hurt Muro-chin. I really don't know what happened… hey, where are my bag of chips?! I didn't even open it yet!"- Murasakibara Atsushi

Chapter 4: Who Said You're not Mine?

Winter was already in full bloom. Everyone around Tokyo were enjoying themselves to their fullest extent, but not these two.

"Muro-chin, give me a hug."

"No."

"Muro-chin…"

"No…"

"Please, Muro-chin."

Himuro banged his fist against the table lightly, to not disturb the other customers. He couldn't take it anymore. "Atsushi, I said no! Can't you see we're in public?!"

Murasakibara took a spoonful of his vanilla and watermelon with chocolate sprinkles ice cream and shook his head with disbelief. "So what? You always used to kiss me and hug me in the park on Saturdays. What's the problem?"

"That's because we were the only ones there! And today's Tuesday, after school, remember? Only if you stop eating so god damn much and begin to THINK once in a while, maybe you would have been able to figure that out on your own!," Himuro retorted harshly. He didn't mean to, or at least that's what he thought.

"What? You said that I eat too much? You never said that to me before Muro-chin. Are you feeling well?" the giant with purple hair asked cautiously.

Himuro was lost in thought as his boyfriend proposed that question. He had planned for them to meet at Miyoki's Ice Cream Paradise. He had something to tell Murasakibara, and the only way to accomplish that was to talk over something sweet to digest. Himuro wasn't really a big fan of sweets, but when it came to the giant, he had no other choice.

"Muro-chin, did you hear me? Muro-chin?" He waved his hand in front of Himuro's face, only for it to get slapped away.

"Don't do that Atsushi. And I did you hear you; of course I'm fine-"

All of a sudden, Himuro's cell phone rang. A cheery, girly tone more like it.

"Oh my god," he muttered under his breath. He took it out and glanced at the caller ID. His eyes flew open in disbelief, this "person" texting him at this time.

"Sorry Atsushi, but I need to go. I've been summoned by my friend." Himuro got up and gathered his things, not even bothering to explain.

"Okay. See you tomorrow, Muro-chin," Murasakibara deadpanned. His eyes were lifeless as if seeing Himuro leave was going to make him cry. As his friend gave him a quick wave and departed, Murasakibara leaned forward and took Himuro's remaining amount of ice cream. "Well, if he's not going to eat this, I might as well help myself," he said and dug in, but without any emotion behind it like he usually did when he ate sweets.

THE NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL…

As Murasakibara walked down the elegant school hallway onto his last class of the day, he reminisced about the event that occurred the other day with Himuro. He wanted to find out why he was acting so strange, so afraid, but most of all, the name of the person who texted Himuro and why he had to leave so suddenly.

"Well Atsushi, nice "bumping" into you here," said a familiar voice.

"Huh? Oh Muro-chin, I'm so sorry!"

Murasakibara had been so deep in thought while walking that he had accidentally knocked into Himuro when he wasn't paying attention. Reaching out a hand, Himuro grabbed it and pulled himself up. The purple haired teen was fully expecting a smile and a cute complaint from his friend, but everything was exactly the opposite of what was bound to happen.

"Atsushi, though I am glad you apologized, I still recommend for you to pay more attention to where you walk. Something bad could happen for all you know." There was a stern look in Himuro's eyes, one that Murasakibara was not expecting.

"Muro-chin, are you sure that you are fine? You've been acting a little strange lately. Are you sick?"

He stepped closer to Himuro and Himuro backed up. "Don't come near me! And of course I'm fine. No need to worry." He took a deep breath and started to walk away. "Stay away from me for a while. When I feel like talking to you Atsushi, I'll tell you. But for now… please keep your distance."

Murasakibara pouted at the look on Himuro's face. He's never seen him like this before. It greatly saddened him. He put his head down and sadly walked away, leaving his friend alone in the hallway. But he turned around and a tear fell down. "Himuro, if you don't want to be together anymore, I understand. You don't have to give me anymore clues. We can break up right now and this will be all over with. Do you accept?"

"Atsushi… You're right. I have been… cheating on you. With a girl. I never expected for this to happen between us. We had such a great and strong relationship between us. And I ruined it. This girl from another school called Hurueki High somehow knew my phone number and she sent me a picture… of her in a bikini."

Murasakibara's eyebrows rose in shock.

"As I was saying, I couldn't take my eyes off her body. But I didn't even know her, but she somehow mysteriously knew of my sexuality. That I was gay. In a text message, she told me that she had been single for 17 years, (no, duh -_-) and that she always wanted a man. I tried to calmly reject her since I was in love with you. Then all of a sudden, something hit me-"

"Himuro, shut up. I don't want to hear anymore. I've been scarred for life," Murasakibara said, his face darkening.

"Why? I want you to understand why this is happening to us. Please, let me continue, Atsushi."

"I told you shut up, remember?" Murasakibara said, clenching his fists.

"No! Let me fini-"

The giant had let all of his anger and sadness out, in a slap to Himuro's face. He slapped him so hard, Himuro fell down in one second. Murasakibara knew that it was the wrong thing to do. But he still couldn't get a grip on the fact that his boyfriend had done this to him. It was unbelievable; disgusting, he had labeled it. "I'm not sorry for what I did to you."

His face straightened, his expression expressing extreme pain. " Himuro Tatsuya aka Muro-chin, from this day forth, thou and I shall be separated. We will no longer like, or love each other. We may no longer be in bed having "fun" together. We will no longer laugh or walk together. We will no longer do homework together. We will no longer live together. This is the only way to solve this problem. I'm afraid we have no other choice. I guess… here's where it all comes to an end."

Murasakibara turned and walked away, knowing that he missed his last class. Still thinking about what to say, he blurted, "Nice meeting you, Muro-chin. Sayonara, Himuro Tatsuya." He let out a sniff, and let all the tears loose. He couldn't hold it in anymore. This was the end, wasn't it?

"Murasakibara! Don't do it!" Himuro cried. He had to act fast, or he would regret this forever. "Murasakibara, please! I'm sorry! Please stop and don't do it!" He walked closer, lending a hand to his friend. He knew he should have kept Murasakibara's phone number, but it didn't come to mind. He was having so much fun with his new pace of sexuality and girlfriend, that he forgot about what his old boyfriend might do. This whole thing was all his fault, and it was nobody else's guilt except his own that made him feel weighed down.

Murasakibara had texted him one last time. 'This is the end of the world for me. Sorry.' Himuro did not understand what that had meant so he didn't mind… until he heard a random pedestrian say that he saw a giant weirdo with purple hair on top of a roof with something shiny in their hand. At that moment, Himuro dashed to Murasakibara's house, not bothering to knock on the door and flew to the roof. He was fuckin' lucky that he made it there on time, or else something bad could have occurred.

Standing at the edge of the roof was Murasakibara Atsushi. The tallest member of the Generation Of Miracles. The one who loved to eat almost anything, especially sweets and chips. But nothing could satisfy his taste buds, except for one person. Himuro Tatsuya. He was always filled with a new flavor every day, and Murasakibara was always happy to get a free sample. Sweet, salty, sour, bitter, caramel, strawberry, vanilla and so on. Himuro was a different one each day, not saying that they had sex everyday. They shared a couple of deep kisses and hugs now and then. On days when Murasakibara was feeling down, Himuro would invite him to his house and they would have fun in bed. He would chuckle internally at how his giant friend cried out in pleasure. It was never a bore. Their hair would be all messy. Murasakibara on the bottom, Himuro on top. It was never a bore, never.

Sadly, that was no more. It was all going to end, and Murasakibara knew precisely how to do it. He… would end his life right now, right here. This way, he wouldn't have to deal with the loneliness, pain, sadness, anger, and regretfulness Himuro had poured upon him. He replaced his hands on the nine inch knife that he had bought and pointed it directly at his heart. He wanted a knife that has never tasted blood, specifically from a legendary like himself. Abruptly, he positioned his body in the opposite direction, suddenly feeling Himuro's presence.

"Murasakibara, please don't do it! I didn't mean for it to turn out like this! Don't kill yourself! Don't commit suicide! Please!"

" Oh, be quiet Himuro. I knew that you wanted this to happen from the start. Stop pretending that you didn't predict this. Besides, this is the best for both of us. Once I go, neither of us will feel this throbbing emotion. You will live in peace witho-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, MURASAKIBARA! I DON'T WANNA HEAR ANYMORE! WHO THE HELL SAID THAT I WANTED THIS?! I DIDN'T! WHY DID YOU TAKE THIS DAMN SITUATION TOO FAR?! DON'T YOU HAVE ANY REGRETS ABOUT THIS?! WILL KILLING YOURSELF DO ANY GOOD TO ME OR YOU! HUH? DON'T JUST FREAKIN' STAND THERE; ANSWER ME!" Himuro screamed/cried. He had never raised his voice this high, and it sucked all the energy out of him. Resulting in him falling to one knee intentionally, staring into his friend's eyes.

At that rant, Murasakibara's face turned soft, then automatically turning around and with a brave voice he said, "No. I don't have any regrets about this. And no, I did not take this situation too far. Killing myself is the right thing to do, is it not?" He took one step closer to the end of the roof and looked down. He regained his grip on the shiny metal object and aimed it much more closer to the place where all his emotions were held: his heart.

"No," Himuro whispered quietly. "No, please." He got up and marched slowly towards Murasakibara, who looked like he was about to stab himself and jump. Just thinking about that, Himuro started to sprint to him as fast as he could. Would he make it in time? He hoped so.

Murasakibara didn't want Himuro to stop him. He took a deep breath and smiled. "Bye world. See you in the afterlife… where I belong." His body stealthily heaved upwards along with his wrist, the knife about to rush in and take his life.

"ATSUSHI!" Himuro yelled, running at full speed. His legs were on fire, but this wasn't the time to take a break and rest.

Just as Murasakibara was about to die, he stopped. Nothing happened. He just stopped. "A-Atsushi?" he repeated with fear. He realized that Himuro had called him by his first name Atsushi, not Murasakibara. Strangely, there was a certain feeling of warmth in his soul. Something touched him and it felt warm. He jerked his head around, to see Himuro holding his wrist and waist awkwardly. He was panting and sweating. His chain around his neck had vanished, probably dropped to the ground somewhere.

Himuro's grasp on his wrist was super strong. It pained Murasakibara, and he wanted to let go.

"Let go of me," the giant complained and began to fidget frantically only causing his friend's clasp to increase.

"No!" he retorted, and he tackled Murasakibara to the ground. Himuro fell on top of him, throwing the knife away and holding his old boyfriend's arms on the ground.

"What are you doing?! Let go of me! Get out of here and go fuck your new girlfriend! I know she's waiting for you back home!"

"I broke up with her. Her named is Namida Fujiwara and I broke up with her," Himuro said softly and calmly, laying on top of Murasakibara a bit more.

"Lies, lies you're telling," the purple haired teen wailed, tears flushing out of his eyes.

"I'm not lying Atsushi. If I was, then why would I be calling you Atsushi then? Can you answer that?"

Murasakibara was silent for a second. That was a question that couldn't be answered by him; he did not know it in the first place.

"I thought so. That proves that you can't kill yourself if you don't know the answer yet. Besides, I have something to tell- no- show you," Himuro honeyed.

"What are you rambling on about-" *chun*

Himuro had leaned down even closer, lifted Murasakibara's head, and their lips connected. Warmly, smoothly.

"I love you, Atsushi. Who said you weren't mine?"

"N-Nobody," Murasakibara responded, blushing brightly.

"Precisely. Now, will you be mine once more, Murasakibara Atsushi?"

The giant laid still. What was going on? Was Himuro playing another trick on him, or was he telling the truth this time? Instead, he shook all those questions out of his head and got up and pulled Himuro up also.

The hint of approval appeared on Himuro's face made Murasakibara smile. As a result, the giant grabbed his friend close and their bodies touched.

"Yes. Yes, I do," Murasakibara said.

Tears of joy fell down Himuro's cheek and he began to wipe them away.

"Atsushi, I'm sorry for all I did to you. I broke your heart little by little and ruined our relationship. Baby, I promise that will NEVER happen again, okay?"

"Alright," Murasakibara agreed rubbing Himuro's back and petting his sleek black hair. They both looked up at one another, smiling. Then, Himuro adjusted his height on his tippy-toes but he still wasn't tall enough. Luckily, Murasakibara did the honors, bending down a little bit.

Their tongues stuck out first, but Himuro shook his head. Instead, they pushed their lips together, sharing the most cleanest, deepest, passionate, loveliest, and beautiful kiss they ever had since they both met. As sunset came, they released and stared into each other's crystal clear eyes before returning inside to spend the rest of the evening and night together. Hand in hand, arm in arm, they slowly descended . *Camera goes to sunset sky*

'I love you, Atsushi.'

'I love you… Muro-chin.'

This chapter was so sad, I was crying halfway. I hope you thought so too. Please review! *Runs away and cries*
