I am super sorry that its taking me such a long time to update this, but we're getting towards the end of the story and I just wanna make sure I do it right since the original one's ending was so rushing and lame.

I really appreciate all the reviews and messages! Thank you!


Hikaru enjoyed Maggie, Garrett's twin sister, a lot. She and Garrett shared the same eyes, but other than that she looked nothing like him with her short pixie cut purple hair, bright pink lips, and gap between her two front teeth. Her personality was almost a complete one-eighty from her brother as well, which wasn't that surprising to Hikaru since the two didn't share the same interests.

She actually reminded Hikaru of Xavier and Stella, maybe that was why he took an instant liking to her? She was fun and free and was strong with her personal battles that Hikaru understood because they were similar to Xavier's problems. Being around her gave him a burst of energy at times, and made him exhausted sometimes too. Plus, it was amusing that she was practically in love with Xavier and the others, and didn't know Hikaru was good friends with them.

He shifted in his seat, watching Maggie and Garrett argue about what to watch on tv, happy he and Kaoru never argued like that. He went back to his phone, not interested in the argument. Haruhi was texting him about meeting up for lunch next week and was letting him decide where they eat, which she never let him do.

"Hikaru!" Maggie exclaimed, making him look up at her pouting face. "Please side with me. Lost In Translation is about to premiere their newest music video and I want to watch it!"

"Let's watch that." Hikaru replied instantly, making Garrett roll his eyes. Garrett hated Lost In Translation, specifically Xavier, which was awkward.

"Thank you!" She snatched the remote out of her brother's hands and flipped channels, squealing when the commercial break ended and the program resumed.

"Hey, we're Lost In Translation." Hikaru moved to sit beside Maggie, smiling when he saw the four on the screen, listening to Isaac speak. "We're about to premiere our music video for 'She's Got A Boyfriend now' and we really hope you enjoy it."

"And we're also announcing our next tour, 'Summer Heartbreak' Tour! We'll be hitting up all around North America first, then head over to Europe. All the information including dates and tickets is on our website now." Vinny announced and Maggie almost screamed, getting a glare from Garrett.

"Oh, yay, more money wasted on them." He rolled his eyes and Maggie sighed through her nose, irritated.

"Look, they mean a lot to me, okay?" She told him and Hikaru saw Xavier in her with the way her shoulders straightened and her eyes read 'they've done more for me than you'll ever know'.

"Emails with the special presale code will be sent out tomorrow! Presale starts next Tuesday and normal sale starts next Wednesday, so make plans with your friends to join us this summer. We're so excited to meet you guys, especially me!" Stella smiled, her bubbly personality lighting up the room.

"Can't wait to see you all again this summer. Without further ado, here's 'She's Got A Boyfriend Now'." Xavier smiled at the camera before it faded to the music video.

"They look so cool." Maggie said in awe as they watched the video. Hikaru shrugged but he was thinking the same thing. He turned his attention from the music video to his phone, going to check the tour dates for the concert. They had a few dates in New York City, which meant he would have time to hang out with them.

"They'll be here May twelfth through the sixteenth." Hikaru said and Maggie smiled at him.

"You're going to go?" Garrett asked and Hikaru nodded his head and chuckled inwardly because Garrett was going to go too, he just didn't know it yet.


"I think his dislike for Xavier just stems from his sister's obsession with him." Haruhi told Hikaru as they ate pizza together. Haruhi was the go to person for unbiased advice. "I'm sure once they met they'll get along. That is a tough situation though. I would want my boyfriend to get along with my best friend."

However, Haruhi didn't fully understand the tension that was bound to be there because of Hikaru and Xavier's past relations and his and Garrett's current relations. Still, listening to her advice eased his nerves. She was right, Garrett's dislike of Xavier most likely did come from Maggie's obsession with them.

"How are you going to introduce him to them?" Haruhi asked and he stared at her. "You haven't thought this through all the way, have you?"

"I guess him just showing up isn't a good idea." Hikaru muttered, wondering if he should be gentle with the introduction or not. "I've been busy with school so I haven't really put much thought into it. I should probably introduce them at my apartment so we're not in public causing a scene, because Maggie will cause a scene."

"Either their apartment or yours would be the best choice. You have time to plan it, just be gentle with it."


Hikaru didn't use his time to plan it.

At all.

He was currently standing at the airport, waiting for them. He had told Garrett that his friend Xavier was coming into town and that caught Garrett's interest since he had been wanting to meet Hikaru's mysterious friend. Xavier had talked Jackal into getting them an earlier flight so they had today as a free day before starting their concert days in New York. He was going to go with Hikaru to Maggie and Garrett's apartment while the others would go to the hotel and join them for dinner so it wouldn't be too overwhelming.

"Hikaru!" He heard Stella shout but it was so crowded, he didn't know where she was until she was hugging him tightly, rambling about how much she missed him.

"Give him some oxygen there, Stella." Xavier said and Hikaru saw them standing around him with their luggage. Hikaru didn't know why, but he felt relaxed with all of them near him.

"I don't need oxygen when I have Stella hugging me." Hikaru replied, hugging her back and smirking at Xavier.

"I'm so excited to be meeting your boyfriend tonight! You're going to come to all of our shows, right? I really hope so!" Stella moved a mile a minute and Hikaru had missed that. He agreed to come to all their New York shows as Isaac patted him on the shoulder, his own way of saying he was happy to see him, and got Stella to give Hikaru a break.

Vinny pulled him into a side hug and ruffled his hair, making Hikaru whine but Vinny just laughed, hugging him tighter before releasing him. "I need a nap, so we're shovin' off to the hotel. Text us and we'll meet ya'll at the restaurant, alright?" Vinny said and grabbed Xavier's suitcase, rolling it off with the others.

"I told him to sleep on the plane, but what do I know, yeah?" Xavier joked and smiled at Hikaru, his beanie pulled over his head despite it being May and sunglasses covering his eyes, trying to keep a low profile in the busy airport.

Hikaru hugged him tightly, not able to resist the urge any longer. "You don't know anything." He teased, breathing in his scent and trying not to melt into Xavier's arms as he hugged him back.

"I know that you missed me." Xavier said in a soft voice, making Hikaru grip him tighter. "Because I missed you." Hikaru's heart raced at this and he wanted to deny it but all he could do was continue to hug Xavier.

Nothing felt simple around Xavier but it sure as hell felt right.


"Okay, uh, there's something I probably should have told you a little earlier." Hikaru muttered as they stood outside the apartment door. "Maggie is in love with you and Garrett hates you."

"Ah, so my odds are decent here." He mumbled, looking at Hikaru with raised eyebrows. "Explain?"

"Maggie is obsessed with your band and that makes Garrett hate all of you, specifically you. Plus I haven't told either that you're….you know…."

"That Xavier?"

"Yeah, they just know you're my best friend and that you're busy a lot of the time." Hikaru admitted sheepishly and Xavier only rolled his eyes, not seeming irritated with him.

"Well, this will be quite the shock to them, yeah? Let's not put it off any longer." He nudged Hikaru, who unlocked the door with his spare key and peaked in, seeing Garrett on the couch, flipping through channels.

"Hey, I'm here with Xavier." Hikaru greeted and walked in with Xavier and shut the door behind him. Garrett turned and stood up, smile on his face until he looked at Xavier and Hikaru could see the process his brain was going through. Maggie bounded into the room and froze, then looked at Garrett, then looked back to Xavier.

"Hey, mates, thanks for keepin' Hikaru in check. It's lovely to meet you two." Xavier greeted and Maggie let out a weird noise. It sounded like a squeal, but a panicked one. Hikaru was panicking on the inside while Xavier just stood there and smiled, used to this.

"You're Xavier Labelle!" Maggie exclaimed, finally getting her words together to form a sentence. Garrett was now staring at Hikaru, who was avoiding eye contact. "OH MY GOD! Hikaru! Oh my god, I—oh my god!" She hurried over and stood in front of Xavier, looking to be shaking. "I'm Maggie! I'm a really big big fan! I'm sorry!"

"Hey, Maggie. Hikaru told me, thank you for enjoying our music, I really appreciate it. Sorry the little shit didn't warn you." Xavier handled it so well, but Hikaru wasn't all too surprised. Xavier dealt with fans all the time. Xavier chuckled as she stood there and opened his arms, motioning for a hug. Maggie instantly reacted and hugged him, looking like she wanted to cry.

"Ah, it's really nice to meet you." Garrett started, walking over to them. "Maggie, please, relax."

"It's Xavier!" Her voice came out muffled as she continued to hug Xavier, who was amused at the whole situation. He moved an arm from around Maggie to shake Garrett's hand, smiling at him.

"It's cool, mate. It's great to meet ya, Hikaru talks about you a lot." Xavier said, wanting Garrett to like him. He hadn't gotten to meet any of Hikaru's past significant others, so he didn't want to fuck this up, plus, Garrett already hated him, so he had to make a good first impression.

"I'm sure not as much as he talks about you." Garrett shook his hand back and Xavier could already tell it would be difficult to win Garrett over. He could also tell that Garrett was not pleased with this surprise and was mad that Hikaru didn't warn him, which Xavier couldn't blame him for, but it wasn't that big of a deal.

Maggie let him go and looked to be calmer now, but still excited over the turn of events. Hikaru smiled at her, loving her reaction. He knew Garrett was angry at him, but it was worth it to make Maggie so happy. He felt like she needed someone in her corner.

"I love your hair, by the way. Stella is going to flip when she sees it." Xavier started and Maggie looked shocked once more.

"She's going to see it?" She asked and looked at Garrett as if he had the answers.

"We're getting dinner together tonight." Hikaru added, having mentioned dinner with Xavier, but not with his friends. "Yeah, Stella, Isaac, and Vinny are joining us."

"They're excited to meet you, they wanna make sure Hikaru's boyfriend is top notch. Told them not to worry about it but like they listen to me." Xavier joked with a shrug while Garrett nodded his head, looking more relaxed now that he thought he had Xavier's approval so quickly.

Yeah, like he'd have Xavier's approval so easily.

"I can't believe this is happening." Maggie mumbled and for once, Hikaru noticed, Garrett looked like he agreed with her.


Dinner went far better than Hikaru had prepared for. He had to thank Vinny and Stella for keeping the conversation rolling and for Xavier for asking Garrett so many questions about himself. Hikaru knew Xavier wasn't all that interested in Garrett's life, because Garrett and Xavier were opposites, but he acted interested in anything Garrett said which pleased Garrett and hopefully made him like Xavier more.

Maggie almost died when Xavier kissed her cheek and told her he'd see them tomorrow at the concert before he and the others left for the night. Hikaru was happy to hear about how excited she was for the whole walk home, listening to her ramble happily made him smile.

"Hikaru, I just…thank you." She told him when they got back to the apartment. "Well, time for bed! I gotta be ready to rock tomorrow!" She hugged him tightly and ran off to her room, squealing the whole way. When Hikaru turned to Garrett, his smile dropped.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me." Garrett started, irritated. "I looked like an idiot. All those times when you could have mentioned it, and you didn't? Did you not trust me to keep it a secret or whatever?"

"No, of course not." Hikaru mumbled, understanding why Garrett was upset, but thinking he was being a little over dramatic. "I don't tell a lot of people honestly. I had been planning to tell you but then you talked about how much you hated them and I wasn't sure if you'd ever meet him so…"

"You weren't sure that I'd be around long enough to meet him?" Garrett asked and of course that was the part that he hung onto.

"No, not like that. Xavier is really busy, he never met my past boyfriends or girlfriends. I barely even get to see him. It's something that's just kept between the gang and I." Why was Garrett so angry about this? He should be over it, it wasn't that big of a deal. "Would you be so eager to tell your boyfriend that the guy he hates the most is his best friend? I doubt it."

That shut Garrett up.
