"Thanks Hiyono. That's great! Yeah okay and really thanks a lot." Ayumu said, closing his phone and sliding it back into it rightful spot. This is great! The drug he used was rare and not many people need it. So the list of suspects is short, very short and only one of those people purchased it recently, his name is Kanone Hilbert. I knew Hiyono's information network wouldn't let me down. The brunette thought to himself as he continued down the street back to the apartment.

Blue eyes glanced across the room, hearing the form stir from on the couch. Kousuke yawned and stretched before swinging his feet off the edge. Now sitting, emerald eyes surveyed the area stopping at the silver haired boy, who sat at the kitchen table.

"Eyes, what are you still doing here?" He questioned, "Ayumu only asked you to check up on me not baby sit me."

Looking up from the game of solitaire he was playing, "You know as well as I the reason why I stayed. I may not have known you for as long as Ayumu but I do know you inside and out. And if I had left once you had fallen asleep, we both know that you would have been out that door right now going after Ayumu." Eyes smiled knowingly at the other.

Ayumu hasn't returned yet. Kousuke thought to himself as he checked the clock on the wall before speaking again, "You don't know anything about me."

Raising an eyebrow, Eyes stood and walked over to the couch, "What is it that scares you about others knowing the real you?" He asked, leaning down and placing a soft kiss on the others lips.

Emerald eyes stared unbelieving into blue ones, "Eyes…"

"We were together once too and when I got too close, you pushed me away, why?"

"Eyes I lo-"

Resting his index finger on Kousuke's lips, he hushed him, "I am not trying to complicate things between you and Ayumu or steal you away from him. I just want to explain why I stayed and express my concern for your safety." He hesitated, debating on how to proceed, "I have always wondered why you left me and I know you had your reasons for doing so but I have wanted to let you know for a long time now that my feelings for you never left."

Kousuke stared silently into the others deep blue eyes, unable to think of anything to say. Lowering his gaze, "I'm sorry, Eyes." Was all Kousuke could manage to get out. He was angry with himself, it was a long time ago true but that's no excuse. He was still in high school, the whole thing was new to him and he wasn't ready for a commitment.

"You don't need to explain yourself to me anymore, I understand." Eyes said, reading the others thoughts while he took a seat next to him, "It was Ayumu, wasn't it? It has always been Ayumu. I saw the way you looked at him even back then. I watched your feelings for him grow but denied that fact from myself; I didn't want to lose you to him. After you left me, I was bitter toward Ayumu I blamed him for your leaving."

"But it wasn't like that at all! It was just…" Kousuke trailed off, the words just wouldn't come.

"I told you, you don't have to explain." Eyes' expression changed slightly, "Let's just leave it all in the past alright?" He smiled sadly, slowly running his fingers through the velvety red spikes. Reaching the back of Kousuke's neck, he pulled in giving the other a gentle kiss. He then rose, "Now that is how you say 'goodbye' when you break-up with someone." Eyes smiled again and headed back to his game at the table. Kousuke sat speechless and unable to move as he watched the silver haired boy return to his seat. I truly am sorry Eyes. I didn't want to hurt you. He thought but his lips wouldn't say the words.

Ayumu was stopped, waiting for the lights to change when he heard his phone ring. Pulling it from his pocket he flipped it open, "Hello?"

"Hello dear."

Ayumu froze, that voice that accent it was him, Kanone Hilbert! But how did he know?

"How did you get this number? What do you want?"

"I heard you were looking for me and I wanted to save you the trouble of tracking me down." Kanone's southern accent rang in Ayumu's ear.

"You didn't answer my question and where did you hear that I was looking for you?"

"I have my ways just like you have yours. But let's get down to business…"

"I have nothing to discuss with you!" Ayumu spat, into the phone.

"Oh no, I was sure that you wanted to know the truth. I thought you had questions for me but if that's not the case then I'll just hang up now."

Ayumu could hear the smirk in Kanone's voice, he knew that Kanone was leading him on but he had to know the truth, "No… wait!"

After a short pause he answered, "… Yes."

"Just tell me one thing. I want to know why?"

"If you want to know the answers to your questions come to the restaurant by the pier in an hour." Kanone offered.

"How do I know you're even going to show up or that you're not leading me into a trap?"

"You don't. But don't you think that you've made that red head suffer enough. I mean I wouldn't want anything else to happen to that beautiful body of his."

"Leave Kousuke out of this! It's between you and me now." Ayumu shouted, "And what do you mean I made him suffer?"

"All the answers are at the pier. Be there in an hour."

The phone went dead; Ayumu listened to the silence for a moment before hanging up. Damn it! He knew Kanone had a trick up his sleeve but Ayumu didn't have a choice not when he's threatening Kousuke. There's no way that I can let Kousuke find out about this though. Ayumu thought as his feet finally began to walk again, taking him home.

Hearing the latch click, blue eyes looked over toward the door. It opened and Ayumu walked in, he slipped off his shoes and flung his jacket into the closet.

"Are you alright? You look exhausted." Eyes asked calmly from the couch. He had been lying there watching a piano recital on TV and upon Ayumu's return he sat and turned it off.

"I'm fine; it's just been a long day. So where's Kousuke?" Chocolate eyes glanced around the room.

"He is in the shower."

Ayumu nodded, walking into the kitchen. He opened the fridge, for no particular reason really; he wasn't hungry at all but maybe just to amuse himself. After scanning over the contents he closed the door.

Eyes rose and proceeded to where the other stood, "Did something happen after I left?"

"Not really, Hiyono found out some interesting information for me."

"Then why do you look so bothered?"

Ayumu shook his already messy hair, "I'm fine really."

Raising an eyebrow, Eyes shrugged seeing that he wasn't getting anywhere, he then headed to the door, "Well I guess I shall take my leave then. You and Kousuke should talk about this. I feel there is more going on here then meets the eye."

"What do you mean by that, Eyes? Did something happen to Kousuke?"

"Talk to him about it, it's not my place." Eyes said opening the front door, "And Ayumu, I am sorry. I have been trying to be better."

"Eyes… what are you talking about?" But his question went unheard as the door shut in front of him. Scratching his head in confusion, "What the hell was he going on about?" He asked himself, then after a moment shrugged it off and continued into the bed room.

Once in the room, Ayumu could hear the water flowing from the shower. He stood in silence, hearing Kanone's words running through his mind over and over again. Having the sudden urge to see Kousuke right away, Ayumu turned and left the room, heading down the hall to the bath room. He slowly opened the unlocked door and silently closed it behind him, so as not to disturb the figure on the other side of the curtain. Stepping closer to the tub, Ayumu stopped and just watched the shadow move about.

Sensing a presence, "Hey, someone there? If that's you Eyes, I'm going to kick your ass!" The voice said as he moved the curtain a bit so he could see. Emerald eyes scanned the room as wet red hair dripped water onto the floor. "Oh, it's you Ayumu. You're back!" Kousuke said smiling.

Ayumu only nodded in response. Lifting his hand and motioning, Kousuke urged the brunette closer, "What's the matter you look really upset?" He asked as his damp cold hands wrapped around Ayumu's arms, pulling him into a rough kiss.

Ayumu shook his head, "Nothing I'm just a little tired that's all." He said closing his eyes as Kousuke kissed down his jaw line and neck.

Kousuke's ever roaming hands found their way under the brunette's shirt lifting it up over his head. He continued to kiss along the soft skin while his fingers absently traced the curves of Ayumu's body. Reaching the hem of the other's pants, he quickly undid them.

"Have you come to join me?" Kousuke asked into the boy's shoulder.

Ayumu could feel a smirk spread across the red head's lips as the words left his mouth. He stood for a moment before nodding and letting his jeans and boxers fall to the floor. Upon entering the shower, Ayumu could feel the almost scalding water hit his skin. Damn! Kousuke likes his showers hot. He thought moving out of the way of the spray of water. The other's body moved closer and wrapped strong fingers around his hips, he then twist the brunette around forcing his arms out to support his falling body. Ayumu placed his hands against the shower wall holding himself up.

His hands still on Ayumu's hips, Kousuke pressed his hips into the others. Leaning his chest against Ayumu's back, he wrapped one arm around the warm body. Kousuke's mouth reached the ear of the brunette, licking at the lobe lightly he caused the other to squirm under the tickled touch. Then taking the flesh into his mouth he sucked delicately.

"Has Eyes left yet?" He breathed releasing the flap of skin but then retrieving it into his mouth again. A gasp was all that escaped Ayumu's lips followed by a weak nod. "Good." Kousuke smirked holding the lobe between his teeth.

Slowly Kousuke lifted his hand off the wall and slid it down Ayumu's side, stopping for a moment at his hip then continuing around. Reaching the brunette's entrance he teased the skin slightly before sliding a slick finger in. Ayumu moaned softly as a second finger grazed the sensitive skin prior to entering. Kousuke didn't bother to add a third finger instead he removed them and proceeded to aim his erection at the others entrance. Pressing gently he inserted himself into his other and began to thrust slowly at first then picking up speed when a low moan came from Ayumu. Sliding his other hand from its place on Ayumu's chest down to his arousal, he wrapped his slender digits around it and began to pump. Sensing the pleasure build inside himself, he thrust harder as he released into Ayumu's warm body. Feeling the body covering his shudder, Ayumu came onto the still pumping hand.

Breathing heavily, he fell slack on top of the brunette. Supporting the taller male for only a moment or two before Ayumu pushed himself off the wall, standing both of them up.

"You know I think we need to shower together more often." Kousuke sighed with a slight smirk tugging at his lips.

Ayumu laughed wrapping his arms around the red head's waist and pulling him into a tight hug, "Sure whatever you say."

Finishing in the shower, the two dried off and headed back to their room. Ayumu redressed feeling slightly better about everything but that sick feeling in his gut just wouldn't leave him. He checked the clock seeing that he only had fifteen minutes to get down to the pier, he decided that he'd better get going.

Kousuke had traveled into the kitchen searching for food; he always seemed to be hungry after sex.

Ayumu followed the hungry red head, "Hey Kousuke." He paused. Kousuke removed his head from inside the fridge and looked at Ayumu. "I have to go out again; I have another errand to run today."

"Did you want me to come with?"

Ayumu shook his head, "That's alright. Just wait here okay." He said a solemn smile crossed his face. Kousuke looked on in concern but said nothing and just nodded in agreement.

"I'll be back soon."

Kousuke walked over him, letting the fridge door shut; he wrapped his arms around the smaller body and pulled him close, "Promise?"

"What? Yeah sure I promise." Ayumu said quietly squeezing back. They parted slowly and emerald eyes watched as the brunette opened the apartment door and closed it behind him.
