Hello everyone again!
I'm probably going to be SO roasted for doing this, being so unfair to Roy, but I can't help it. And maybe I should try to get to the Bold and the Beautiful as a scriptwriter too… Oh, whatever, I guess I should be as glum as the text, but I'm not.
Please forgive me and I hope you enjoy!
Thank you, reviewers! I'm kind of confused to receive so many on this story!
RavenGhost: Hoo, you're so right. Of course, who wouldn't be, finding their boy/girlfriend trying to make out with someone you just tried to ward off? I'm so mean towards him…
Black Triforce: Well… erm… Vyse's in this story because I like him a lot and he's cute and so on, but why is it so bad? And besides, shounen-ai's just so cute, ne?
PikaPower: A mean twist, it is. I don't know how I even came up with such a sad idea. But I guess, yeah, it is interesting to see where the story goes now…
sagesumi: It's hard for me to write this, because I love each three so much and hurting them hurts me, but what would this story be if it would always be happiness and joy and no pain or sadness? And don't be sorry for the short review, it's not that important! *laughs*
Bishie Me!: I can't say much to that except that everyone has their own opinions and I understand if you don't want Link to be called gay, but some people like shounen-ai. If you don't like it, I think you shouldn't read it either.
And Mewlon, I don't know are you reading this, but I'm sorry. I forgot to thank you for saying so kindly about me and my stories. I'm very flattered. Thank you! I'v ejust been incredibly absent-minded because I have some problems at home.

"Vyse!!" Roy got up, his face once again as red as a tomato, grabbed his shirt and ran after his love.
Love?
Love. He assured his subconscious. How could he have been so totally enchanted by Link that he hadn't even noticed that he had actually tried to make out with him? He was in love with Vyse, not with Link! Hell, he felt awful. The disappointed face of Vyse's was burnt to his mind, how his nougat eyes were watered, how his whole body had stopped for the moment in shock. Roy could feel the horrible pain Vyse was probably feeling as he thought what he would've done if he would've found Vyse on top of Link, sharing just as passionate kisses with the elf than with him. It woulde've hurt like hell. And even that wasn't enough.
"Vyse!!" he shouted as he ran behind the Blue Rogue. He had to get a chance to explain, to make everything right again. The way it was. Just then he realised that he didn't know how to explain. He didn't know what to say. There wasn't anything he could explain so that Vyse would understand and forgive him. He had found Link and him on kissing on the couch, and that was pretty hard to understand wrong. Roy felt tears in his eyes, but held them back.
"Vyse!! Wait!!" he tried once again, knowing that the pirate wouldn't stop for him. He had to stop Vyse, just to talk to him, try to make him understand. Even though he wouldn't want to see him ever again, he at least had to apologise. And maybe Vyse would someday be able to forgive him for what he had done, but he knew inside that it would take time. If he would ever be able to do that. Roy ran even faster, knowing that he would eventually catch Vyse, and then what? What would he say? He decided not to think about that before he had caught the Captain of the Swan.
He didn't reach Vyse before the docks and grabbed his arm, knowing that if Vyse wanted he could pull his hand off because he was stronger. But instead, he stopped and turned to look at him with eyes flooding with tears. His expression was both, sad and angry, so hurt it made Roy feel the same tears in his eyes he had held back not long ago. Not knowing what to say, he tried to wipe off the tears as he held tightly to his love's arm, not wanting to let go.
Finally Vyse said angrily:
"What?"
"I… I… I need to… talk to you… I… I…" The general sobbed, trying to hug the pirate, but Vyse swung his arm, throwing him on the pier on his back gently. He was really angry, but obviously didn't want to hurt him, only to push him away to tell him that he couldn't hug him. "Do you think I gave up sailing to see you screwing Link the first time I'm not with you!?" He said, his voice more than furious and extremely sad, although he wasn't shouting.
"Do you think I gave up everything in my life to be with him? Do you think left my country, my position, my father, everything behind because I wanted to be with him?" Roy answered with questions. He had to try, he knew he loved him. He really did. But Vyse remained silent, turning his now sad and disappointed gaze away as he turned to go to the Swan, leaving the redhead behind.
"I love you, Vyse!!" Roy shouted, letting his tears flow down his cheeks freely. It didn't matter anymore if someone saw him crying. He didn't care. He was loosing his whole life, everything he had lived for for the last year of his life. Being without Vyse was like being without legs or hands, something you needed every day.
"I love you, Vyse, no one else!" he said again, said the three words he had never said to anyone. Those words, he knew they showed his whole weakness, his whole fragile self was now like a wine glass on an edge, waiting for someone to pull it back or to push it down to the dark empty gorge.
The other boy stopped, probably thinking of what to say. "Roy…"
"I… I'm sorry… I…" The redheaded teen said, quickly continuing: "Please, forgive me!" It sounded like he was begging. He still hadn't moved, waiting for Vyse to say something.
"Shh…" The Blue Rogue said gently over his shoulder, his brown bangs covering his eyes so that Roy couldn't see was he crying or not. "I forgive you, Roy, although I can never completely in my soul forgive." He seemed to collect himself for a while before saying:
"But there's no way I'll never know if you cheat on me. I'm just protecting both of our hearts. If we stay together, we'll eventually break each other's hearts and crumble of the sorrow like a cookie. A--"
"Vyse!! I… I… No!" Roy protested.
"--And, Roy, I want to love someone I can trust. Someone who won't cheat on me. Never." With that he walked onto the deck of the Swan, half wanting to be stopped and turn back to Roy, love him like everything was like it had been, but it wasn't possible. His trust had already crumbled and he would crumble completely if he would stay with Roy and doubt everyone getting near him.
"Vyse!! I love you! I love you too much!!"
"I loved you too." The brunette answered from the deck as the engines of the ship turned on, moving the ship slowly off of the pier, his eyes glittering with tears. In those eyes was nothing but pain and sadness now. "I really did."
"No! No, Vyse!! NO!! Don't!!" Roy ran to the end of the pier as the Swan glided away, Vyse standing on it's deck, the wind playing with his brown hair, the setting sun as his background. The general fell on his knees, lifting his hands on his face and cried, utterly defeated and crushed, all because of what had happened in just five minutes. He hadn't even thought that something could be yours and then, the next moment it would be gone. Now his love, the one he had ever cared for was gone from his life and would never return. It hurt, it hurt so much.
He felt how the fragile wineglass on the edge was leaning over the empty, booming darkness, about to fall into the endless pain where his heart would never be whole again. As it fell, he cried even harder, feeling the coldness of being alone, being uncertain, being abandoned, all alone.
Then something reached out for that glass and brought it back, over the edge again as he felt someone's arm on his shoulder and knew that there was someone who wanted to be with him and share his time with him. He looked up at the person, his vision blurry because of the tears, but he recognised the golden bangs and the cerulean eyes that were looking down at him, worrying would he be okay. He took the hand and pulled him down, burying his head in his chest and crying out all the pain he felt.
And Link held him, caressing his back with his hand and holding him close agianst him, whispering comforting words to him as best as he could. If not love Roy, he could at least give him a shoulder to cry on as the world tried to break him.
The Swan sailed to the horizon painted by the sun with thousands of shades of red and orange, its once beautiful, billowed sails were hanging from the mast like dead white birds.
