Ultimate Betrayal by Yaoi Girl

"I'm sorry, Ken. I'm in love with someone else. I mean, I used to love you, but then I met him and everything changed. He's a person that I can get along and communicate well with. You just always seemed so, I dunno, distant, like you were afraid of me. You never let me get close enough to you to show you how I really felt, and now it's too late...I'm sorry it had to end like this..." Daisuke said as he ran out of the boy's apartment, leaving a heart-broken Ken to fall to his knees and cry.

'I tried to let you in, but I'm so afraid of people coming in contact with me. It seems that every time they do get near me, something bad happens...But when I was 'him,' nothing scared me. Back then, I wasn't afraid to let people get near me because I could simply push them away and keep going, not caring what happened to them. But that was then...' the indigo-haired boy thought as he wiped the tears from his eyes and stood.

"You told him that?! Dai...you really are a dumbass when it comes to relationships, you know that? Instead of breaking his heart easily, you tore it into shreds and threw it back in his face."

"What? Was I supposed to lie to him? I know how much I hurt him, Takeru, but he at least deserved the truth. If he plans on being with someone, he's gonna have to learn to open up and let them near him, otherwise he'll just end up with the same result over and over."

"I see your point, but still you have to take his past into consideration."

Silence fell upon the two households, both boys lightly breathing into the phones in thought of what to say.

"So, who are you in love with?"

"The new kid," Daisuke said a moment later.

"You mean your former crush from America?" Takeru huffed, still upset at how he went about breaking up with Ken.

"Yeah. It's Willis," Daisuke said softly, as if his soft voice was enough of an apology for his guilt.

"I can't believe you! Willis has only been here, what, a week? And you claim you're in love with him?! You and Ken have been going out for three months, and it wasn't until two weeks ago you told him that you loved him. So how can you fall in love with Willis and out of love with Ken in a week?!"

"I'm sorry..." the auburn-haired boy was barely heard saying, his voice cracking as he was on the verge of tears.

"Whatever. I got to go," the blonde said and hung up in disgust. 'Daisuke, you can be such an ass...Now what am I going to do about Ken?'

~*~

"Ken! Takeru is here to see you."

The indigo-haired boy didn't emerge from his room, so Takeru walked to it, knocking lightly on the door.

"Go away! I just want to be alone right now..." he was heard crying through the door.

Ignoring the command to leave, Takeru gently opened the door and went it before shutting it behind him, receiving a glare from the room's occupant.

"I said go away," he said coldly.

"I know what happened, and I want to help if I can," Takeru said softly as he stood beneath the boy's loft bed, staring up at him.

"Who says I need any help?"

The blonde became a bit nervous at the boy's tone. 'He's starting to sound like 'him' again.'

"What else is wrong with you besides Daisuke? You're not acting like yourself, even if you are in pain."

"Nothing! Now leave!"

"Or what? What are you going to do? Come down here and make me?" Takeru smirked.

Ken looked to the other side of his bed in defeat, still glaring at whatever his eyes came in contact with, fighting back the tears.

While the boy was distracted, Takeru climbed up the ladder and crawled up to sit on the end of the bed, looking sadly at Ken, who looked back at him with the same eyes.

"You're closer friends with Daisuke, so why are you here with me?" the indigo-haired boy asked as he again looked away from the boy's azure eyes, his tone back to normal.

"I'm upset with him myself for the way he treated you earlier. No one deserves to have their heart broken like that," the blonde said as he leaned forward slightly, cupping the boy's cheeks, gently forcing him to look into his eyes. "Especially you."

Wide-eyed and not sure about the current situation, all Ken could do was blush, unable to move any further back, due to the walls. "Takeru...?"

Azure orbs began to slide shut as he leaned closer to Ken, and just when there lips were about to meet, Takeru let go of him with an agitated sigh, sitting up, and fishing around in his pocket for the cause of the disturbance: his cell phone.

Ken pressed himself as far back as he could against the wall, staring with still wide eyes at the blonde who had just come so close to kissing him, a boy he barely knew. His head was spinning from the close proximity the boy had just come to him while his heart was pounding in his chest and ears.

Despite the fact that he was scared out of his mind and just recently broke up with his three month boyfriend, Takeru was the first person to ever get that close to him, in any way, and he actually felt, deep down, that he wanted the boy to kiss him, to hold him. He knew, even though he didn't know Takeru as well as he did Daisuke, that Takeru would never hurt him like his ex did.

The blonde hung up his phone and put it back in his pocket, now avoiding eye contact with Ken as he climbed down the ladder and walked towards the door. Once he got there, he simply stared at the door knob and said, "That was my brother; he said I had to stop by his place to get something. Sorry."

And then he left, leaving behind a confused and somewhat scared Ken.
