Under the moonlight, feeling the cold breezes on his skin while gazing at Yusaku, the smile on Yuya's face slowly faded away.

"You two look alike but you aren't him. There was only one Yusaku Fujiki. And to me, he's dead."

"Then you and me of this world...?"

"Surprising isn't it? A criminal likes me pairing with the most clumsy person there is."

"Not at all. Everyone desires to be happy."

"I wish I never met him. Maybe then...he would still be alive."

"What do you mean?"

"My Yusaku has always been a sweetheart. He fulfilled my every wish to silliness, so when I wanted to install some hidden cameras in his home, he nodded his head, agreeing right away."

"As long as it makes you happy."

Yuya said on the day of the incident, he was on Earth 354, stealing this beautiful sapphire necklace. Since he wanted to visit Yusaku right away after he returned, he checked the cameras to see if the teen was home. That was when he saw the criminals whose plans failed miserably because of him corning the teen in the living room. He didn't know how but they managed to figure out Yusaku was connected to him. Leaving the necklace behind, Yuya opened a portal and headed straight back. However, there was a unexpected problem. By the time he got there, everything was too late.

"He...doesn't know I was the famous thief or rather, he didn't care. I can see it in his eyes, he knew for a really long time. Till his very last breath, he was still trying to protect me." His tears started to fall. "I don't desire his love..."

At that moment, Yusaku heard a voice coming from behind him.

"Hey."

When he turned around, his eyes widened in shock as the other person smiled.

"Mind if I borrow your body for a bit?"

...

Yuya was still crying. Looking at him now, one would imagine a scared child who got separated from his parents. It got to the point where he started to hiccup. Then suddenly, a warmness fell on him. Hard to believe but Yusaku was patting his head, appeasing him.

"There, there. Don't cry."

"What do you--"

"Like I thought." He smiled awkwardly. "I can't see a thing. You brought my glass, right, Yuya? Can I have them?"

"You..." His voice trembled as he called out that name. "Yu...saku...?"

"It depends on which Yusaku you are referring to. The one who follow you here? Or the one who got his heart stolen by the famous thief?" He smiled.

At that moment, Yuya hugged him tight.

"Yusaku! It's you!"

"Mhm, I'm here, Yuya." The teen hugged him back. "So don't cry anymore. It's kinda weird to see you like this considering you are older than me."

"Stupid Yusaku! You ruined the moment!" He pouted.

"Sorry..."

"How is this possible? You have already..."

"I asked the other Yusaku to lend me his body. Right now, he's having the questioning face because he doesn't understand what I meant by you're older. Well, at least that is what I'm expecting."

"For a guess, you are correct."

"Don't worry, he will explain it to you later."

As soon as he finished, Yuya put a pair of black glasses which he pulled out from his inner jacket on him.

"Better?"

"Yeah. Clear as day." He stroked his cheek.

"...Why are you here? It has been three years already. You should have...crossed over."

"I can't just leave knowing you're blaming yourself over my death."

"You idiot! You could have turned into an evil spirit! Or worse, lost your chance to be reincarnated!"

Yusaku tilted his head, thinking for a bit than answered with a smile.

"It didn't matter to me."

"Why you...!" Yuya really wanted to give him a beating but what the teen says next froze him.

"...What could be more painful than seeing the one you love the most suffers?"

"..."

"Yuya, none of this was your fault. It's just my bad luck. I wasn't even supose to be home that day."

"But..."

"The other Yusaku told you, everyone desires to be happy. And the times I spent with you was truly the best times of my life. Even if I had a chance to go back in time, I wouldn't change a single thing. Because Yuya, I love you."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Earth X's Yusaku heard a familiar voice calling out to him, one he hadn't heard in years.

"Yusaku."

"Ai?"

"That's my name. You sure have grown. I would love to give you a pat but I can't reach your head anymore."

Upon hearing that, he kneeled down, leaning forward.

"You can reach it now, can't you?"

"Yeah." The boy was surprised but smiled anyways as he reached his hand out, patting the teen's head. Feeling the warmness he longed for, Yusaku could hardly contain his tears as he hugged the little one tight.

"I miss you so much...Ai..."

"Idiot. That's my line."
