Are You Still Mine?
By Ivy Part Four
Rowen walked across the kitchen and picked up the phone.
"Hello."
"Rowen?" Sage said with uncertainty in his voice.
"S...Sage?" Rowen asked, amazed and surprised to hear Sage's voice on the other end of the line.
"Rowen, we need to talk."
"But Sage it's two in the morning," Rowen said as he sat down on the couch. He noticed a picture frame on the floor. He sighed as he saw the picture held inside. It was taken last summer down by the lake. Both he and Sage were shirtless and in their swimming trunks. Sage was sitting behind him with his arms wrapped tight around his waist. A lonely tear slipped down Rowen's pale cheek.
"Please Touma, it's important." Sage said with a note of urgency on his voice. Rowen was shocked to hear Sage call him by his Japanese name. He had stopped going by that name years ago, and Sage only used it in the tenderest moments shared between the two of them. So he figured that Sage had something really important to tell him.
"Okay Sage, we can talk," Rowen let out the breath that he hadn't realized he was holding.
"Meet me at Laurence Park by the lake," Sage said in a hurry.
"When?" Rowen asked but was answered only by the dial tone of the phone.
Rowen walked into his room and pulled on a pair of black jeans and a soft blue sweater, almost perfectly matching his hair. He walked over to his mirror and ran a brush through his hair. He tried unsuccessfully to straighten it. He sighed and put the brush down. *Why am I going along with this? I'll probably just get hurt even more* Rowen thought as he angrily pulled on his coat. *I'm doing this because maybe Sage will take me back into his arms* Rowen snorted. *What am I kidding myself. He probably already has someone new* Rowen held back a sob as he locked the door to his apartment and made his way out into the dark night.
As Rowen pulled open the door of the building, cold air rushed into his face, taking his breath away for a moment. He turned and quickly made his way towards the park.
Sage stood by the lake watching his breath swirl around his face. As Sage watched Rowen walk towards him, he suddenly became very nervous. *How am I going to tell him how I feel?* Sage asked himself as he let his eyes run over Rowen's broad chest and slim legs. His eyes cam to rest on his soft lips, as he tried to bring to memory the way they felt beneath his.
Rowen caught his gaze and stared into his blue-violet eyes. Seeing pain and longing hidden in their depths.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Rowen asked as he began to nervously bite his bottom lip.
"Must we talk?" Sage asked as he lifted Rowen's chin and lost himself in his eyes. Sage leaned down and captured Rowen's lips with his own. Rowen was to shocked at first to respond to the kiss but as his confusion cleared he wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled Sage in closer. Sage suddenly pulled and blushed deeply across his cheeks.
"I'm sorry, I...shouldn't have..." Rowen silenced Sage with a finger to his lips.
"I love you Seiji." Rowen said, passion filling his blue eyes. With those words Sage pulled Rowen to his chest and wrapped his arms around him and held him in a tight embrace.
"I love you too, Touma." Sage brushed his cheek against Rowen's silky and breathed in Rowen's scent. Rowen brought up his face and brushed his lips lightly across Sage's.
"I'm sorry," Sage brought his finger to Rowen's lips.
"Shh, it's okay," And with that Sage replaced his finger with his lips.
The rest of the night they caught up with what had happened in each other's lives over the past few weeks. Rowen pointed out more constellations to Sage, giving a little history behind each of them. But Sage still managed to get him to shut up for awhile with a few passionate kisses.
Sage picked up of the boxes lying around Rowen's apartment and carried it out to the van. After he and Rowen had made up, he had bagged Rowen to move back in with him and the other Ronins, and finally he had given in laughing the whole way. Rowen had never seen Sage beg for anything before. Sage loved the way that Rowen's eyes lit up when he laughed.
"Hurry up Rowen!" Sage said as he walked out the door with another box.
"Coming!" He yelled back, his voice full of laughter. Rowen picked up the picture of him and Sage and hugged it tight against his chest. He had never realized how much Sage had meant to him till he had almost lost him. Rowen sighed and carefully placed the photo in the last cardboard box waiting to be taken down. He taped it shut and picked it up. Just as Rowen reached the door he glanced back at the empty apartment. He had spent so many lonely nights here and he was happy to be leaving and going back to be with his friends and lover. He closed the door behind him and hoped that the next person to live there had better luck then he had.
