Hiroki froze cold when his eyes finally fell on Nowaki. It was really him; tall, lean body walking towards baggage claim with those shining sapphire blue eyes and soft, dark hair. It wasn't a mistake, it wasn't a dream, it wasn't a hallucination. It was really him.

Unyielding emotions suddenly began to build in Hiroki's chest, making his eyes sting and his throat nearly close up. The sudden overwhelming urge to close the short distance between then as quickly as possible—to run and fall forward into those warm, strong arms and to hold and cling to Nowaki for all he was worth, kissing those sweet, sweet lips until neither of them could breathe—was almost unbearable.

The only way Hiroki was able to overcome the crushing desire was to remind himself of all the sleepless nights he'd gone through while Nowaki was away.

Opportunity finally presented itself when Nowaki bent down to tie his shoe. Hiroki bit down hard on his lower lip and closed his eyes as he strode over to Nowaki, doing his best to put on the famous 'Demon Kamijo' scowl as he eyed his lover. (Could he even call him that anymore?) He stopped in front of Nowaki abruptly, putting his hands on his hips and glaring down at him.

Nowaki stopped tying his shoe when he noticed a pair of feet had stopped in front of him. He looked up at Hiroki, blue eyes glittering with wonder. Hiroki—though his view was slightly obscured by the white beanie he was wearing down over part of his eyes—nearly lost his breath at how gorgeous Nowaki looked. While Nowaki had been away, he'd resorted to looking at old pictures of the two of them together, looking as beautiful as ever—but he'd forgotten how stunning Nowaki actually was.

A simple question escaped Nowaki's lips, "Hiro-san?" Oh god, it'd been too long since he'd last heard that beautiful, low voice speak his name. He nearly lost it right then and there.

Hiroki held on to his resolve with the tips of his breaking fingernails. "Nowaki," he ground out between clenched teeth, pausing to take a deep breath and make sure he could say the next thing without his voice cracking, "Y-you…STUPID BLOCKHEAD!" he bellowed, picking his right leg up and quickly slamming it down on Nowaki's dark head.

Nowaki fell forward from the blunt force of the kick, his forehead hitting the harsh floor of the airport as Hiroki ran off faster than he'd ever run before. He didn't look back until he was at the turning point for exiting Narita. After stealing one last glance at Nowaki—although not a very good one, since people were surrounding him and he was clutching his face—Hiroki ran out the automatic doors and towards the train station as fast as possible. Any worries or any other thoughts Hiroki had about any thing in the world quickly evaporated, only to be replaced with the burning memory of those smiling blue eyes and jet black hair.

Ah…yeah, sorry for the serious lack of updates :/ (holy crap A MONTH!?! Shame on me…I'm a pitiful excuse for an author!) I've been really busy…well, that, and I tend to write things and then I'm terrified they're boring or they don't make sense, so I just never post them… :( But right now I'm working on 2 things—an ongoing fic (wow, first ever…) and another smut fic (I'm disappointed with myself…the idea/motivation for that fic came in October and I'm STILL not done…it's okay to shoot me, I deserve it for my lack of discipline. :/)

Oh, and this is the last 50scenes update…I'm still working on the challenge, but I'm just going to post it by itself. (well, if it's really really short, then I'll post it here…but I doubt that will happen.)

I'm sure lots of people were expecting smut (since that's what I mostly write)—sorry, no can do. Ideas come to me at random intervals, and this idea had no hopes of smut. (at least not yet—you people should know it's obviously from the canon storyline!!!)
