AN: This is late and SO sappy….But hey, it had to get romantic sometime ;)
Later that night, Ken and Takeru went to Koushiro's apartment. Ken knocked on the door and Daisuke let them in.
"Hi. Now all we're missing is Jyou. Have you seen him?"
Takeru was confused. "Jyou isn't here, but Yamato is?"
Daisuke nodded. "Yep. Yamato's about to fret himself to death over it."
Takeru sighed. "Where is he?" Daisuke motioned to the couch. Takeru went over and sat down beside his brother. "Yama, it will be all right. I just saw Jyou in the park an hour ago. I'm sure that he's coming."
Yamato put his head on Takeru's shoulder. "Why isn't he here now though? I need him, Takeru. I do."
"I know." Takeru held Yamato. "I know."
Ken looked at Daisuke. "Where is Koushiro?"
"He's working on his computer. He thinks he might have found something, but wants you to double check his work. I would, but I like to distract him too much." Daisuke grinned at Ken. "He thinks he would get done a lot faster if you help." Ken rolled his eyes. Daisuke winked. "But he's so cute when he's working on the computer."
Ken shook his head and went down the hall to Koushiro's room. Takeru was still trying to calm down the obviously overwrought Yamato. Takeru held Yamato while his brother cried. "Why did he leave me? Wasn't I good enough?"
"Jyou didn't leave you. He just isn't here right now. I know that he'll be back." Takeru felt at a loss about what to do.
Daisuke sat down on the opposite side of Yamato. "Maybe he went to go get you a present? Or something?"
"I don't need presents. All I need is him. All I want is him," answered Yamato.
"Ok..," said Daisuke. "So… Do you want me to go find him for you?"
Takeru looked at Daisuke over Yamato's head. "Can you do that?"
Daisuke nodded. "I can try. I know most of Jyou's normal hiding places since I started dating Koushiro. I can go look."
"Please," asked Takeru. "I think it would be a good idea for Yamato's sake."
At that moment a knock was heard on the door. Daisuke got up to answer it. When he opened the door Jyou was standing on the other side. "Sorry I'm late."
Just as he got in the door, Yamato had tackled him to the floor and was kissing Jyou all over his face. "I missed you. Don't leave me again," he kept saying over and over.
Jyou reached up and hugged Yamato close. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you worry. I just had something that I needed to go get. I won't do it again."
"Take me with you next time," pleaded Yamato. "I promise that I won't do anything to get you into trouble."
Jyou smiled. "I wouldn't think that anything that you would do could get me into so much trouble that I would leave you. I love you."
"You do?" asked Yamato.
"Yes. Of course I do. You're the one that said that we were soulmates. Doesn't that mean that you love me?"
Yamato wiped his eyes. "Yes, but I didn't think that you would understand what it meant."
Jyou pulled Yamato up and led him to the sofa. "I have something for you," he said pulling a box out of his pocket. Jyou took a ring out of the box. "It's for you. To help you remember that I'm not leaving you."
Yamato took the ring from Jyou. He put it on his finger and kissed Jyou. "I'll remember."
"No more freaking out?" asked Daisuke. "You really scared me there."
Yamato shook his head. "As long as Jyou is mine, I promise not to 'freak out'."
Jyou smiled and hugged Yamato close. "I'm yours forever, love."
AN: Oh and short too :p
