The beginning of the end.


The door to the Koneko was shut quietly despite the loud almost drunken actions of the occupants. Shoving off his rain painted jacket Ken looked shyly toward Aya, The redhead was leaning against the wall just watching him, eyes softer than Ken had ever seen before.
"So…"
"So…"
Smiling Aya held out a hand, the pale flesh looking eerily unreal in the darkened hallway. Placing his own hand and clasping his fingers Ken allowed himself to be gently steered toward the living room.

I, played the part of a broken heart upon a show,
I played that part so lonely and so well,
Thought that love belonged to someone else,
Not me and you.

Sighing softly as the smooth material of the couch sunk in around him Ken closed his eyes for a moment, laying his head against the darkened fabric.
"Why didn't you say anything before? I don't understand"
Raising an eyebrow Aya seated himself next to the brunette mentally scolding himself as his fingers twitched, longing to brush away the chocolate strands now falling between Ken's eyes making the orbs almost hidden.
"I didn't think you would return my feelings"
Nodding Ken shifted slightly the small movement bringing him close enough to place his head on Aya's shoulder. Closing his eyes again he allowed his mind to drift back through memories. Back through the heartache of the years, back through the countless times he had tried unsuccessfully to wash death off his hands.
"Ne, Aya?"
"Hmmm?"
Hearing the small tremble in his partner's voice Aya brought his hand up to gently stroke Ken's hair lightly, fingers tracing across the shell of his ear and down his neck.
"Do you ever think? We'll be able to live normally?"
At this Aya shook his head slightly, gently sliding his hands down to rest on Ken's waist, pulling him onto his lap.
Burying his head in the crook of Aya's shoulder Ken smiled slightly at the intimate gesture.

Yeah, I know that you've been shattered
You've been bruised,
We both know what it feels like when you lose,
But I'd bet my life on a roll of the dice for you.

Leaning over Aya brushed his lips against Ken's not wanting to directly answer the question that both of them knew the answer to. They could never forget, move on yes, but in during the night images would still return to haunt them.
Shuddering into the kiss Ken lifted his arms slightly, wrapping them around the redheads neck trying to pull him closer still, tongue flicking out quickly to run across his lower lip while his hands trailed down to trace patterns down his back.
Opening his mouth slightly under Ken's ministrations Aya welcomed Ken's tongue into the cavern of his mouth, both exploring each other with gentle curiosity.
"Mmmm..Aya."
Breaking from the kiss and gasping for air Aya pressed Ken into the couch, denting the cushions as he climbed half on the brunette while placing small butterfly kisses down his neck.
"What if Youji walks in with Omi?"
Aya chuckled quietly as he began to nibble on the smooth tanned skin of Ken's neck. This was only one of the reasons his world belonged to Ken, he never thought of himself. Compared to himself Ken was everything innocent, everything pure, Aya didn't care about the amount of blood constantly dripping from Ken's soul, even angels loose their way sometimes.

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
Tonight's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you,
Do I have to break down? Baby just to breakthrough,
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
If that's what it takes…

Closing his eyes Ken allowed his mind to fall into a humming blank, purring softly in the back of his throat as Aya's hands wandered over his body with almost feather-light touches. Snapping his eyes open as the hands stopped Ken whimpered in protest, arching his body up against Aya's yearning for more of the warmth spilling from him.
Hovering over Ken's face, Aya took a moment to study Ken's face, kissing the edge of his nose Aya pulled Ken into his arms once more, leaning his head on the silky strands and rocking back and fourth slightly.
"How do you think Youji and Omi will take this?"
"I don't know, I guess we'll find that out when it happens"
Smiling Ken lifted his head to catch another kiss from his lover's lips, arms wrapping around in a possessive grip.
"So Im taking it, it's safe to say I love you?"
"What kind of question is that?"
Giving out a small yelp Ken fell to the floor with a thud, standing up and fixing a small glare on Aya who was now smirking and fighting laughter.
"Well usually no-one could get away with saying something like that"
"Are you implying im dangerous?"
Ken snorted, irritably brushing the falling bangs away from his line of vision.
"No.Im just saying, I don't really fancy having a katana shoved up my."
Easing himself up Aya continued to watch Ken, the ghost of the old deathglare skimming his face. Slowly walking toward Ken he allowed himself a mental smirk as ken gulped slightly and began backing himself toward the wall.
"Shoved up where Ken?"
Arching an eyebrow toward the brunette Aya quickly dived, pinning the smaller body against the wall, a small smile playing on his lips.
"No…no-where! Man! Since when did you get so…un-Aya like?!"
Aya laughed as he pulled Ken into another hug, chuckling softly as at the small moan emitted from Ken's mouth as their bodies were pulled roughly together.

I bet you counted all the tears; I bet you've cried,
I bet you swore, you'd never let love back inside,
'Cause it hurt you way too bad, to say goodbye.

"So…can I?"
Leaning down slightly to place a chaste kiss on Ken's forehead Aya nodded.
"Im not even sure why you feel you needed to ask me that"
"For the safety of my ass"
"Ahh I see, Well im sorry to disappointed you, I can guarantee the safety of your heart, but not that"
"Your making me blush! Stop it!!"
Laughing and taking Ken's hand Aya began to lead him through the hallway toward his room, fingers trailing across his hand in silent reassurance. Smiling to himself Ken followed, knowing he wouldn't be spending much time in his own room anymore.
"Aya?"
"Hmm?"
"That's the first time I've heard you laugh since I've known you"
Choosing not to say anything to Ken's statement Aya just nodded, echoing the smile on the brunettes face as he slowly closed the door behind him.

Now, there'll be times, when I might put us to the test,
And it's hard, for broken hearts to just forget,
But im driving blind, I'll lay it all on the line for you.

The hospital was quiet when Omi finally opened his eyes, blinking to help clear the many dancing dots before his eyes he slowly moved his head around to study the room. The tubes that were once attached to him had been removed, leaving his body with only a memory and a few nasty bruises to prove he had actually been hurt. The room was dark, the cold marble floors echoing with footsteps outside. Shuddering slightly and pulling the thin blanket around his shoulder's he struggled to sit up, over-bright orbs trying to adjust to the dim light and make out the figure slumped against the wall obviously sleeping.

So, when you feel like jumping,
Just when your heart starts thumping,
When you're standing out on that ledge,
Staring over the edge,
I'll be there to talk you down,
I'll be there, before you hit the ground.

"Youji? Youji?"
Groaning quietly and shifting his position against the wall, Youji made small batting motions with his hands, trying to curl up and returning to sleeping.
"Youji?"
Giving out a heavy sigh Youji slowly opened his eyes, moving his neck from side to side to ease the ache running underneath his skin. Easing himself from the ground and taking his place on the chair next to Omi's bedside Youji took the younger boys hands, bringing the fragile fingers to his lips and kisses each tip in turn.
"Your finally awake…. how are you feeling?"
Omi smiled, leaning over the bed to press his forehead against the blonde's shoulder.
"Much better now. A few bruises, nothing I can't handle, how are Aya and Ken?"
"They're fine. Worried about you, but okay"
Giggling quietly Omi fell back against the white pillows once more, hand still gripping Youji's, massaging the skin lightly.

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
Tonight's the night, Im gonna prove it to you,
Do I have to breakdown? Baby just to break through,
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
If that's what it takes…

"You planned this didn't you? The accident?"
"What makes you say that Youji?"
Youji shrugged, eyes never leaving the innocent looking boy in the bed.
"You just seem too happy, I know I wouldn't if I were sitting where you are"
Tugging on Youji's sleeve Omi pulled him close, breath lightly fanning his cheek as he caught the blonde's lips with his own, sighing in contentment as strong arms wrapped around his neck.
"Do you trust me?"
"Of course I do Omittchi."
"I reason's for everything I do Youji.."
Youji frowned while stroking the fine gold strands of Omi's hair.
"What do you mean? You had reason for getting yourself almost killed"
Letting out a breathless chuckle and curling his fingers over the collar of Youji's shirt Omi pulled him in for another kiss, hands cupping his cheeks to hold his face in place.
"I wouldn't of been killed, im tougher than that. As for my reason…Well, you'll find out when we get home."

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
Tonight's the night, Im gonna prove it to you,
Do I have to breakdown? Baby just to break through,
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
If that's what it takes…

Owari.
