~Eiri's POV~

Why do I feel like this? There is a horrible pain in my chest. I feel like someone, (Shuichi) ripped open my chest, and pulled out my heart.

I've never had these kinds of feelings before. I haven't felt the need to cry for so long. The last time I was this vulnerable, was when I was with…Yuki.

My Shu-chan cheated on me, and he doesn't even have the guts to tell me who it is. I knew I shouldn't have gotten involved with him.

Tohma and Mika were right, only hurt and pain could come from this relationship. I only wish I had listened.

~Shuichi's POV~

Why does he make me feel this way? And why am I pulled to him like this? If I were smart, I'd run like hell far, far away from here. Away from him, and never come back.

He thinks that I cheated on him. I would never do that. I thought he knew that I loved him too much to ever hurt him.

I guess now he'll expect me to just leave him alone. But I can't. I love him too much to let him go.

I'll find him, and make him listen to me. Make him hear my side of the story. Make him understand. I want to be with him. Forever.

~Eiri's POV~

I once said forever. At the time, I meant it. And perhaps I still do.

But it hurts.

I allowed myself to love. To love him. To be in love with him.

No, I didn't open up to him. I'll admit that, but I did share with him more of myself, than I have shared with most people.

Maybe he didn't know. Maybe I didn't tell him enough. Maybe I should have told him that I loved him, but I thought he knew.

If he forgives me for my stupidity, and comes back to me again, I'll never let him go. I promise.

~Two days later~

Shuichi again stood before a sleeping Yuki. He looked at his older lover in awe. Yuki was so beautiful when he slept. You could almost believe that he was a kind and caring person.

Not that Yuki wasn't a caring person when he wanted to be. It's just that he normally wasn't all too kind. He often said hurtful things, whether or not it was purposely, Shuichi had yet to discover.

Shuichi moved over to his lover's side, and bent down to hover over the blonde. He lowered his head, and gently kissed the writer's soft lips. "Why don't you believe me, Yuki? I'd never cheat on you. Not in a million years." He whispered.

"Then why didn't you call me baka? Who were you with? And what were you doing?" Yuki's voice actually seemed kind.

"Yuki…you should have told me if you were awake."

"I acted wrongly. I jumped to conclusions. I now realize that. So tell me Shu-chan, who were you with? And what were you doing? I waited for you to call, but you never did. I want to know."

"Okay Yuki. I was with…Ryuichi."

"Why couldn't you tell me before? We wouldn't have fought, and we'd both be happy. I know you like him. So what were you doing with him?"

"It's not like that Yuki. We're friends. You're right, I do like him. But I've never liked Ryuichi in that way, Yuki. He was my role model when I was growing up. I wanted to be just like him. I never wanted to be with him. It was never like that with Sakuma-san and me. We never had what you and I had, Yuki."

"Shuichi…you're avoiding my question. And from what you just told me, I still don't know anything. All I know is that you were with Ryuichi. I don't know why, and I certainly still don't know what you were doing. You keep speaking about the past. Everything you just told me is in past tense. You're not telling me how you feel now Shuichi. Come on, I'm not yelling. This is an adult conversation, so join in anytime now."

"…"

"Did you sleep with Sakuma Ryuichi?"
