…Atsuro…

Atsuro slowly opened his eyes and saw he was enveloped in darkness.

…Atsuro…

He sat up and turned to the direction of the voice calling his name.

…Atsuro…

The cherry-haired guitarist's eyes grew large as he saw Towa at arm's length. He gasped as he saw Towa smile at him and whisper his name.

…Atsuro…

The said young man opened his mouth to say something but his words were nothing but silence.

…Atsuro…

To his horror, Atsuro's knees buckled as he started to walk towards the bassist and he found himself on the ground limp and numb. He fought to move his head to where Towa was only to see the image he has been afraid of.

…What do you think Atsuro?

Tears found their way to the fallen child's cheeks as the helpless watched in utter silence and agony the person he felt affection for be wrapped tight in the arms of the man he respected as a musician and as a friend.

…Aren't we just perfect together?

He heard his heart pounding in his chest as he looked on with misty eyes. Slowly and ever so slowly did Yuki turn Towa's smiling face towards his and absorbed the latter into the blissful state of kissing. Atsuro felt his heart stop completely as he saw the two joined passionately. He closed his eyes tight to block the picture he disliked only to open them abruptly at the feel of his body plummeting towards the eternal darkness.

Sakuya rushed towards his bedroom as he heard Atsuro scream in the middle of the night. He moved towards the body thrashing about the bed and shook the boy by the shoulders.

"Atsuro!!! Atsuro, wake up!" But the boy still refused to rouse and kept on screaming. The dark-haired man gritted his teeth together and his slapped nightmare ensnared friend awake.

He watched as his friend hastily open his eyes and rush towards his chest as soon as Atsuro realized his presence. He placed his arms around the ruby haired boy and hummed a song to comfort Atsuro's troubled heart.

The younger one continued to sob and clutch at his cotton shirt for a good period of time but the vocalist continued to hum only to stop to occasionally drop feather-light kisses on the desolate one's head.

When Sakuya was sure that Atsuro has returned to slumber he moved the quiescent boy to lie on the bed. He was about to move out of the room but Atsuro continued to grasp onto his shirt and would not let go. Sakuya let out a sigh and shifted to rest and sleep beside Atsuro.

+++++++

Atsuro carefully opened his eyes and found out that he was alone on the bed. He sat up warily and noticed the pad of paper and a pen on the bedside table. He reached for the paper and the pen and started writing.

With a sigh Atsuro put the pen down and looked out the window. He stood up as he felt the tears forming in his eyes again. Out of Sakuya's bedroom he paced and ended up on the vocalist's kitchen where he saw the said man cooking what he assumed was breakfast.

"You better take a bath. We're going out after eating." Was all that was heard from the cook.

"Where are we going?" Atsuro watched as Sakuya turn around with plates on both hands and place one of which in front of him on the kitchen counter he stood behind of.

"Out. Eat you good while it's still warm. I'll just get something from the room." Atsuro nodded and started on his breakfast.

+++++++

Sakuya was about to put the clothes he took out of the closet on the bed when he saw a piece of paper just lying there. He placed the clothes down on the bed, sat down and picked up and paper and read its contents.

UNTITLED

Confined inside this darkness...

Can't see...

Can't hear...

Can't feel...

Suddenly I'm falling...

Falling into the oblivious void of darkness...

I screamed in the hope of someone would come and help me...

But I screamed to no avail...

I open my eyes only to be blinded by a bright light...

And find myself inside a room...

That consisted of nothing but four cold walls...

I pound my fist on one of the walls...

Screaming to the heavens to let me go...

Instead the heavens held me with an iron fist...

And pain shot through my whole...

To the cold floor I fell...

And to the cold floor I couldn't do anything but succumb to the tears...

The pain...

The sorrow...

The loneliness...

And the cold, unfeeling darkness that started to envelope me

As if to devour me and erase me from humanity...

To the very last moment I reached out...

But no one came...

Sakuya rushed out of the room, the poem still in hand and went to stand beside Atsuro. He slid the paper on the table beside the guitarist's plate. The younger one stopped eating and slowly moved to look at the raven haired vocalist towering over him.

"Good poem. It didn't have to sound so sad though." The vocalist whispered as he focused his eyes on the set of russet pools before him.

Atsuro turned his head away from the enigmatic singer and said;

"But it's true. I'm all alone and there's nothing but pain, emptiness and sadness in me right now."

"Ch. I didn't realize you were this stupid…" Sakuya said as he gazed on his band mate's form.

That's the end of chapter II. Do tell me if it's gotten worse or if it really hit rock bottom this time. Umm, the pairing is still on a subject-to-change state so please let me know how you think this fic should end up.

By the way the poem found in this fic is mine. ~scarlet_bliss
