Chapter Seventeen: Unfaithful
Sakano was tired. More so then he had been in a long time. He looked at the paper in his hand and bent his head back. It was the recommendation from Seguchi. Bad Luck was going to be in the festival. He had worked to hard for that piece of paper. He touched his face and winced. Seguchi had hit him hard this time. He didn't know why Tohma found it necessary to hit him and abuse him the way he did, but if that was what he wanted, then Sakano didn't mind. He could take the pain...his day in the sun was long gone. It was Shuichi's turn.
He walked out to the parking lot and noticed that his car was one of the last ones in the lot. He had no idea what time it was. He didn't think that it was safe for him to drive that night, he was so tired, but he had no choice. He would look like a drunk. He was so tired that he didn't even feel the vibration of his phone in his back pocket. Maybe he did feel it, but he didn't care. He wanted his bed...he wanted sleep.
He opened his car door and when he was all settled inside, he locked his doors. It was dangerous not to. People were abducted in parking lots all the time, or so said the hosts of all the cheesy talk shows he watched. He buckled his seatbelt and pulled the car out of the lot, rushing to get home. He was completely unaware that he would not be alone that night. And he so wanted sleep...

He walked up the stairs because he was too anxious to wait for the elevator. Sakano was a very careful person. Just because he was a guy didn't mean he was out of reach for a rapist or kidnapper. He felt his heart skip a beat when he slid his key in the door and it opened on its own. He never forgot to lock his door. Ever. So when it opened, he knew that someone had been in his house. He should have left, called the police...but for some reason, he was drawn inside. He dropped his briefcase next to the door and examined its knob. It hadn't been forced open...someone got in with a key. Or maybe because of the going on, he had just forgotten to lock it. It didn't seem possible, but nothing else seemed to fit.
"You're home late, Sakano-san..." Sakano's whole body froze. He knew that voice, he loved that voice...what was that voice doing in his home? "Why are you so nervous? It's just me..."
Sakano turned to face K and shock ripped through his body at the sight. K had been crying. His face was red and puffy and he looked tired and upset and ruffled. His hair was messy and his shirt was untamed. It looked as though he had been drinking but Sakano knew that wasn't true. K wasn't a drinker. Even in bad situations, he didn't drink. No, he was just tired and sad and for some reason beyond Sakano, he had sought out his comfort.
"K..." he said as the man stood from the chair he was sitting in and walked toward his on and off lover, "W-w-what are you doing here?"
K didn't say anything. He just stared at Sakano. He was so wonderfully beautiful physically. He was perfect in every shape, way and form, but it didn't matter when everything that had come from his perfect mouth was a lie. Sakano knew something was terribly wrong by the way K was acting. K was normally the lovable and perky one of the two. He was never moody and angry and sad the way he was right then and if he was, he never let Sakano see it. Sakano couldn't begin to comprehend what was wrong...
"So...how is Seguchi?" Sakano felt his whole body rip apart and his heart shatter on the floor. He knew. K knew about him and Seguchi. K knew that the realization had hit him, "How...could you? How could you...do that to me? After what we had been through in the past, how COULD you?"
Sakano couldn't answer him, he had nothing to say. What could he possibly say?! Um, yeah, sorry? Sure, that would work. He lowered his head and almost died of fright when K grabbed his face and brought his eyes back up. Sakano had never been so frightened in his life. K saw the fear in his eyes and released his grasp, only a little...touching him a bit more tenderly, brushing a stray hair from his face. Sakano's eyes were wide with anxiety and fear...he couldn't speak.
"I have done everything to make it work with you, Sakano! What else could I have done?! Tell me! What do I have to do to please you?! Why did you run to his bed...JUST TELL ME!!" he screamed as Sakano winced.
"I don't know..." and he didn't.
"You don't know..." K laughed, letting Sakano's face go. Tear began to stream down his face...he had been crying all day. Sakano went to say something, but he never got to. K couldn't help himself. He swung around and sent Sakano sprawling to the ground with his smack. His glasses went flying and he landed on his bed with a thud, the air getting knocked out of him. K walked over to him, "I gave up everything for you...I left my family for you, my wife...I thought that we loved each other. I thought that we-"
"I love you," Sakano sobbed, holding his face, "I don't love him...you don't understand what is going on at all-"
K grabbed him by his jacket and stared deeply into his lover's dark, sad eyes and for a moment they didn't speak. They just stared at each other for a while. Remembering the intimacy they had once shared. K wanted nothing more then to embrace Sakano right then and to tell him that if he promised to never ever do it again that he would forget all about it. It wasn't that simple though. K knew that anytime that he tried to touch Sakano, he would feel Tohma Seguchi. Sakano was waiting for another slap...he deserved it, but it never came. Instead, it was just K's soft whisper.
"Then explain it to me. Explain why you are running to Seguchi's bed. Explain it in terms I can understand, because I am at a loss. I thought we were getting better. We made love just a few days ago! My God, doesn't that constitute anything?" Sakano had nothing to say. He didn't have a defense. Things were over between him and K and that was that. K would never forgive him and he didn't expect him to. He didn't expect him to understand that he was a slave to Seguchi. He didn't expect him to-
K's expression changed from sad to confused as he held up one of Sakano's wrists, "Where did you get these cuts?"
Sorry, I know it's short. But I couldn't write a lot for this chapter. K slaps Sakano was all I had in the form of an outline. I'll make the next chapter much longer Cause K is gonna have a chat with Tohma and bring the mo fo down. Hehehe, im such a thug. Anyhoo, please review. Ciao!
