DATE : June 04 DAY : Tuesday TIME : 06:00 a.m.
The former soccer player's room was a big disaster area . Everything was firmly out of place . It was all he could do to keep from smiling to himself . Sure , he did love Ken he had to admit , but the war zone he called his room was something just short of Armageddon . He shook his head in amusement , fond memories springing to his mind .
Ken had always been the messy one , the one who always forgot to close the refrigerator door when he was through , the one who'd always let their Labrador lick his rocky road ice cream as he was eating it .
He was the one who stashed a chocolate bar which he himself bought with his own lunch money under the pillow and forget all about just to remember three days after that he was going to give it to Nagi as a consolation for not being able to join the soccer team .
Ken was a scatterbrain , and Nagi loved him all the more for it .
Nagi resisted the impulse to crawl under the bedcovers and snuggle beside Ken and sleep cocooned in the warm den of blankets and lull himself to sleep .
He used to do that when they were young . Ken served as his safety , the symbolism of protection .
Nagi shook his head and muttered a reprimand to himself . He ought to tell Ken now, before Schuldich can take him completely .
" Ken ." Nagi whispered , shaking the sleeping bundle softly .
Ken stirred , his head appearing from under the mound . " Huh ?" he grunted groggily , with one grey eye open . He was obviously more than half asleep . " Oh . Nagi . 'sup ?" He lolled his head back onto the pillow and slowly attempted to be in a sitting position .
He shook his head to clear off the sleepiness and grinned at Nagi . " You're up
early ." he commented warmly .
Nagi tried to reciprocate the affability that Ken showed , but he was just too
nervous . He never thought that he'd ever say this . he had always decided that he would never tell Ken , and as long as Ken was happy , so was he . But all that has changed , Ken was never this near , so in his reach . Ken may be happy , but Nagi was 't - he was miserable .
" I h-have to tell you so-something ." Nagi stammered , he felt his cheeks flush .
Ken's eyes softened at the urgency in the younger brunette's voice . " What is it ? Are you feeling sick ?"
Nagi blinked , Ken was genuinely worried . he always was so protective even when they were young .
Ken went home that night bruised , wounded and muddied , his nose bleeding and a dark ring around his eye . He was obviously caught in a fistfight but he refused to tell Nagi or Nagi's parents what happened .
He was forced to stay home the whole week and he wasn't allowed by Nagi's parents to go anywhere and was under their caring eye every moment . Nagi remembered that fact because he had wondered why his parents never cared for him that way whenever he was sick , but he didn't mind since it was Ken whom they loved much more than him .
The next day in school , two boys approached Nagi and apologized , they were the kids who always took Nagi's lunch money and that day , they looked quite worn - they had been in a fight as well .
Nagi gathered that Ken had fought with them so that they would stop bullying Nagi , and succeeded in getting himself , as well as them beat up .
" Nagi ? Nagi ?"
The younger boy snapped out of his reverie and focused on Ken's concerned face .
" Ken . there's something you have to know ."
Ken looked at him expectantly , his eyebrow raised in a quirky manner peculiar to him .
" I . I was the Nagi you knew before . I mean . I am ."
He had never in his wildest dreams imagined that he was going to tell him , but he was desperate , Schuldich was gaining more and more weight on the scale , and Nagi was willing to pull all the strings to tip the scale to his favor . " Five years ago , you left our house with Kouchirou Kase ."

R_M : WAAH ! Another cliffhanger ! I know ! Gomen to everyone . I just couldn't help it ! I'm running out of pre-written chapters and I'm just too busy (or too lazy) to write out the next parts of the story . Don't you fret , however , because this story is just about to draw to close after a few more . uh . somethings .
Anyway , thank you's to everyone who has reviewed ! I can't post your names yet because the file I saved which contains the names of all those who reviewed is missing and I am apparently too stupid to be able to hunt it down . Next chapter is going to be longer and "funner" or more fun , I promise ! ^^, thanx and REVIEW !!! or you won't see the NagixKenXSchu AyaxAngsting fun ! ENJOY !!! LOL
