Triangular: 21

Author's notes: I gave consideration since I'm going to be away for two days, so I hope you guys review up to 230. Thanks.

Hehehe…I usually do chapters extra early so that I don't have to fuss around when the reviews get 210 or something, also for me to update extra fast (to me I seem to update like everyday…). So here I am panicking (since I always want to meet my deadlines [i.e. whenever you guys reach 220/230/240 etc.] and the reviews reached 215) and hoping that by the time I upload this piece of crap you guys haven't hated me at all.

Okay, here we go!

***

He felt his heart just break into two.

***

He couldn't stand seeing someone he loved so much being kissed by someone else. He couldn't stand a single second that he kept on wasting on watching them. With dazed emerald eyes, he silently turned around and walked through a faraway door, feeling at that very moment that his soul was taken away from him.

Sumeragi Subaru closed the auditorium door behind him, a dazed look pasted on his now snow-white face. He continued to walk morosely down a snow-covered pathway, not minding the harsh, winter wind that slapped against his exposed cream-colored skin. His clothing didn't help much – for he felt that his whole body was as cold as ice for no exact reason. He continued on trudging silently until he met his twin and her boyfriend, but someone else was there too.

"Kakyou, it was really great! Especially Kamui-chan's performance!" Subaru heard his sister say, smiling happily at the silver-haired teacher and the assassin-like vice-principal.

Just hearing his angel's name brought another pang of guilt, loneliness and pain nagging at his heart, making his emerald eyes widen and remember the scene he saw before him. It was all too much…too much for him to bear.

"Subaru-chan! Subaru-chan, what did Kamui-chan say?" Hokuto asked, hopping to her twin and stopping him from going on.

"…get away from me…"

Hokuto's eyes widened in surprise, for Subaru never acted this way before. "Subaru-chan?"

"…I said get away from me…"

By this time, Hokuto was really nervous and concerned for her brother. In curiosity, Kakyou and Seishirou looked at the two of them, eager to know what has happened to the math teacher.

"Subaru-chan, doshite na no?" Hokuto asked quietly, pure concern and worry etched on her face. "Did Kamui-chan say –

Subaru looked sharply at his sister, making a cold chill run down her spine. Indeed, Subaru has never ever acted like this before. Hokuto took a step back as she observed that Subaru's eyes looked glazed.

"Get away from me." He murmured one last time, now gently pushing Hokuto out of the way as he started to amble to his car. Subaru was almost successful at doing so until a man clad in black blocked his way.

"I said get away from me!" Subaru screamed, completely disillusioned as he stared angrily at the person who decided to stop him from doing what he wished to do. "What part of that don't you under…stand…" His dazed emerald eyes widened as tears started arise in his orbs. "Seishirou-san…"

Sakurazuka Seishirou smiled a fake caring smile, placing his arms around the 25-year old Sumeragi. Hokuto held her hands clasped in worry as Kakyou neared her, complete worry etched on her face. What in the world made her brother be like this? As far as she could remember, Subaru called Seishirou 'Sakurazuka-san' and not by his first name…and more importantly, Subaru let Seishirou embrace him. And another thing: Subaru seldom cried. Something was definitely wrong about Subaru and Hokuto was going to make sure she'd find it out.

"Seishirou-san…" He murmured once again, now burying his face on Seishirou's black coat. He had been trying all this time not to let his tears flow, not to let them cascade on his pale cheeks like rivers. He hadn't cried in years! But he couldn't help it – the pain was too much for him to bear, Kamui meant too much for him to lose. It was as if he died when he felt that Kamui's love for him died too…and he blamed himself for everything. Deep inside him he was scared of what people would think if he loved his student…of how Hokuto will react if she found out that he loved Kamui…deep down inside of him, he was insecure and scared of loving his student. But right now, at this very moment…he knew that nothing was wrong with him loving Kamui. And he regretted the fact that he didn't tell him earlier…before Fuuma did.

He blamed himself for every single thing; he believed that it was his very fault why this happened to him.

And maybe that was the reason why he let Seishirou hold him close like this. For him he felt like there was no one to turn to anymore. No one to run to, no shoulder to cry on.

Just like how Kamui felt before.

But to Seishirou, this was very good.

"Seishirou-san…"

"Subaru-chan…" Hokuto murmured to herself worriedly. "Sei-chan, will you take care of him? I'll just…I'll just take his car home." She volunteered, smiling concernedly as the vice-principal held her twin in an embrace. Seishirou nodded and silently but stealthily got the keys from Subaru's coat pocket, handing the keys to Hokuto with a free hand before saying goodbye. Hokuto only nodded, feeling that Seishirou was up to something that wasn't right.

"Ano, Kakyou…" Hokuto started, smiling sheepishly as they stopped, the streetlights illuminating their way.

"I know, I know." Kakyou smiled, kissing Hokuto before parting with her. "He's more important now. I'll just call you later."

Hokuto blushed and smiled again, this time smiling earnestly. "Arigato, Kakyou."

Kakyou turned around. "Iie, nandemonai." He smiled again. "Take care of him for a while."

She nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, I will. Subaru-chan really needs me at this kind of situations…" she prevented a tear from coming out of her eye. "My brother…really…" She sniffled a few times, now unable to get the words out of her mouth.

"I understand. I'll just call you, okay?" Kakyou remarked, hugging her close. He let her go after a few seconds.

"Okay. Thank you." Hokuto sniffled, smiling. At that, the two parted ways.

He broke the kiss, permitting the two of them to breath in fresh air. He looked down at the angelic-looking student and smiled, seeing a stupefied look on his face once his pupil opened his purple eyes.

Kamui never imagined that Fuuma's lips were that soft and warm. He never thought of how sweet and gentle his History teacher could be. For a year ago his kisses were intense and felt like Fuuma needed to take him more than anything else, but now…

The amethyst-orbed teen couldn't find words to describe the wonderful feeling that suddenly burst up inside of him. It was like what he felt the first day he saw…he saw…

~Who did you see, Kamui…?~

Kamui shook his head lightly, intent on making the thought of his math teacher go away. Subaru didn't love him as far as he knew, and tonight was his chance to make up for his own mistakes of making himself believe that in some little way…in a tiny glimmer of a moonbeam, that Sumeragi Subaru loved him.

But what he didn't know was Sumeragi Subaru DID love him.

In fact, Subaru loved him more that his own life.

He thought that this was the night wherein he could change the pathetic way where his life has been walking on by loving someone else.

"Fuuma…" Shirou Kamui whispered, looking up at his teacher in surprise. Monou Fuuma did nothing else but smile and chuckle as Kamui mentioned his name, taking his glasses away from the table. He put them on and smiled again, making Kamui blush a few notches.

"Well then, Kamui-kun," Fuuma said, taking Kamui's hand as the purple-eyed teen hopped off the table. "Will I drop you off with your presents, or will I be waiting for you outside your house?" Fuuma asked, raising his eyebrows.

"For what…?" Kamui asked back, clueless.

"For the party…you know, after the play." Fuuma said, now gathering a bunch of the bouquets and the huge box in his arms. "Judging by the look on your face, no one told you, right?"

"You know, even though I'm the main character, I don't know anything." Kamui remarked, making Fuuma chuckle slightly before continuing to walk to the door. He gathered his bag and the rest of the gifts in his arms. "I think I'll just change back home." And with that, their arms full of flowers and other tokens of appreciation, the couple walked out of the theatre and to the parking lot.

But something unusual caught Monou Fuuma's eye.

"Kamui-kun," Fuuma started, looking back at Kamui who went farther ahead, seemingly not noticing what Fuuma was staring at.

"Yes, Fuuma-san?" Kamui asked, looking at Fuuma with adorable purple eyes.

"You go ahead and load your presents in the backseat of the car, alright?" Fuuma said, smiling as he did so.

"But what about Kotori…?" Kamui questioned, now curious on where Kotori went.

"She went ahead of us to the party. Go on…I have something to do, alright, Kamui-kun?"

"Alright." Kamui answered, turning to Fuuma's car. Once the white-clad angel walked a few strides away, Fuuma walked into a cluster of trees to gain eye contact with the assassin-like vice-principal. As he leaned on a huge tree, he narrowed his eyes as he saw Sakurazuka Seishirou with his arms around an unusually quiet Sumeragi Subaru. Well of course, Subaru was quiet, but the math teacher was quiet with the supposed-to-be Sakurazukamori embracing him.

Seishirou continued to soothe Subaru's aching soul as he silently turned, making the two of them exchange places so that Subaru's back faced Fuuma, and that he himself faced the history teacher. His honey-brown eyes widened, as if asking on how their plan went.

Fuuma nodded, affirming the idea that he has executed their plan well. Seishirou nodded in a form of thanks and triumph, signaling that Fuuma should leave before Subaru calms down. Fuuma followed the vice-principal's request, walking out of the cluster of trees to his angel-clad Kamui.

"What did you do?" Kamui inquired once Fuuma was in sight. Seishirou, meanwhile, silently took glances of the two faraway.

"Oh nothing." Fuuma answered, loading the huge box and the flowers in the backseat of the car. "I dropped a bouquet."

"You should've left it there."

"How can I? It's from a fan of yours."

"Fuuma…"

The aforementioned man laughed as he approached the driver's side of his car. Without another word, Kamui and Fuuma entered the car and drove off to Kamui's home before Subaru calmed down.

"Nee-chan! Nee-chan!" a little girl on a balcony screamed, calling for her older sister.

"What?"

"Look, an angel!"

"He's not an angel."

"But nee-chan, he IS! He's so pwetty and he's dwessed like an angel and he has WINGS! He's an angel, nee-chan!"

"Silly, do you think angels come in cars?" the older sister asked, ruffling her younger sibling's hair.

"But the car's pwetty too!"

"He's Kamui-chan, don't you remember?"

The little girl stared at Kamui for a moment. "Oh wight! KAMUI-CHAN!!!"

Kamui turned around and flashed a smile at the two sisters, making the older one blush. He waved before entering his house with Fuuma.

"You are right, Ayaka…he IS an angel…"

"Demo nee-chan…you just said that Kamui-chan's not an angel…" the girl pouted, looking up at her older sister.

Kamui gratefully stepped into his welcoming home, greeted by warm smiles of his sister and mother. Fuuma followed him, smiling as well.

"Konbanwa, Kasmui-san." Fuuma bowed in front of Karen, careful of the packages he held in his hands.

"Konbanwa, Monou-san." Karen repeated the gesture. "You can place the gifts in the living room. Yuzu-chan, help them, alright?"

"HAAAI!" Came an enthusiastic reply, with Yuzuriha hopping down the stairs, Inuki following her footsteps.

Author's notes: I am absolutely sorry about the fact that you guys are starting to hate me because of what I make Kamui and Subaru go through. I am also so sorry that this chapter came in a little late or a little shorter than the other ones. Please, I hope that you guys understand what I'm saying; because we have planned that they will to go through a lot of suffering. I also hope that you guys won't hate me because of what I have been doing to Subaru and Kamui, and that you great people won't lose interest in this story. I promise, and I will stop making this fanfic if I don't make this promise come true, that this fic would end Subaru/Kamui; and that Kamui would also get his fair share of the pain of being heartbroken (not like he hasn't); Subaru would suffer through another dose of heartbreak; and that they will definitely get together.

Please, R&R. Thank you. I really thank all of you.
