-Chapter One: Cor-

Pale blue eyes blinked sunlight out of them as an arm was lifted up to shield the eyes from the golden rays of the sun. Those eyes now scanned the sight before them, an unfamiliar sky, with unfamiliar…suns.

Robin sat up suddenly, his eyes trained on the two burning orbs in the sky above him. His mouth hung open in shock for a moment before his mind went back to something that Okami had once told him. The sun was merely a star, not even a very big one when one was to compare it to the other stars in the sky. Even if this were true, and with Okami telling him, he knew that it was-but even so, how could there be two suns-stars-this close to Weyard?

The Venus Energist finally gave up and looked around the landscape, only to be met with the same unfamiliarity that the sky had given him. He had traveled all over Weyard, not one island untouched in his voyage with his friends. However, here he was now, in a strange, foreign land, all alone. Or so, he thought at first.

His chest felt light, Robin noticed, and when he looked down to see why, he spotted Ivan lying on the grass next to him, unconscious. Robin's heart caught in his throat, something it had not done since Ivan nearly died on him after they first met.

Robin turned hurriedly and picked the Jupiter Energist's wrist up, checking it for a pulse. He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the vein beating against his index finger. Robin leaned forward, slowly, and placed a light kiss on Ivan's forehead, 'He is so adorable when he's asleep like this…so peaceful. I feel guilty for putting him through all of this.' thought Robin as he watched his lover sleeping, 'Maybe if we had not asked him to join us he could have lived a normal life and maybe even have fallen in love with a woman instead of me.'

The thought pained Robin as soon as it crossed his mind and he felt Ivan stir in his lap. Just as he looked down to see if Ivan was waking up, the Jupiter Energist grabbed the sides of Robin's face with his hands and pulled the Venus Energist into a sheering kiss.

They had kissed many times before, but never like this. Neither of them had wanted to let their relationship get out of hand because of their age and what other people would think. They had not found the time to do anything either. Towns were spread out far apart and sometimes it took weeks at a time to go from one town to the next.

Ivan laced his fingers through Robin's hair as Robin wrapped his arms around Ivan's waist, holding him up.

They finally broke apart, gasping for air. Ivan threw his arms around Robin's neck, holding him close, "I wouldn't give this life up for anything." he said, his voice coming out in sharp gasps, "I love you more than anything else in the world, Robin. I would not trade my relationship with you for a normal life even if I could. I need you."

Robin tightened his grip on the Jupiter Energist, "Oh, Ivan…I love you, too."

They sat there for a while before Ivan blushed lightly, glancing down at the ground. He hopped off Robin's lap and looked at Robin's clothes, "Robin, what happened to your armor? And your gloves and scarf?" Robin lifted a hand to his neck and noticed that his scarf was missing. When he looked down, he also found that his armor and gloves had disappeared as well. Ivan's cape and chest armor was gone also.

"I don't know…I don't even know where we are, Ivan." The Jupiter Energist looked around at this statement, puzzled by their strange surroundings.

"What happened? We were on the Mars Lighthouse before," started Ivan, rising to his feet. Robin stood up after him, stretching his arms for a moment, "Where are the others? Gerald, Mary, Kanata, Aoshi, Yoru, and Okami…? And Mamoru and Amiko?" Ivan turned to Robin and gripped his arms, "Robin, what if Mamoru and Amiko are alone? They have only just learned basic Psynergy. I have a feeling that the monsters here are very powerful."

Robin shook his head, placing a light kiss on Ivan's forehead, "I am sure that the two of them are just fine."

"Teleport to them." begged Ivan, now gripping onto Robin's tunic, "Please, Robin. I am sure that they are scared." Robin bit his bottom lip at the pleading look in Ivan's violet eyes and the Jupiter Energist knew that Robin would not turn him down now.

"Fine, but you have to find them so that I can teleport." Ivan smiled and closed his eyes, searching for Mamoru and Amiko's auras.

He could feel a glimmer of something in the distance but as soon as he tried to figure out to whom the aura belonged to, it disappeared. Ivan opened his eyes, frowning, "I can't…I can't sense anyone here." Robin blinked down at Ivan before searching himself. He suddenly felt four powerful energies come together in a giant explosion of power to be replaced by an even stronger energy than the pervious four powers combined. However, this power quickly disappeared, so quickly that Robin was unsure he had felt it in the first place.

"I just felt something," he whispered to Ivan who looked back up at him, "It was strange, though, there was suddenly four energies…that came together in this giant explosion and then there was an even stronger power."

"Bit I didn't feel anything," mused Ivan, leaning against Robin as his eyes suddenly lolled, "Robin…I'm tiered." Robin nodded and leaned down, taking Ivan into his arms, "Robin, I didn't mean for you to-"

"Hey, you haven't let me carry you while you were conscious since that storm near Vault, and even then I had an excuse." said Robin, grinning down at Ivan, "Not this time. You are perfectly healthy."

"Tiered, though," blushed Ivan.

"Don't ruin my fantasy," Ivan rolled his eyes, but he could not help but smile at the Venus Energists holding him.

Robin was adorable when he was being romantic; he even tried to be romantic when they were around other people, especially if some girl tried to hit on either of them. Moreover, he could be serious one moment when he was either talking to Okami or Mary and then goof around with Gerald the next minute or tease Yoru about his hair. He would always find time to do something for Ivan, though.

There was one time when Yoru caught a cold and they had to stop in Xian and wait until he recovered. It was late and they had already stayed in the oriental town for two nights, but Robin had suddenly pulled Ivan away from his book and took him out to the lake.

By the time, they had been together for nearly a month and the others still had no clue about their relationship.

No one was out but they could hear families talking within their homes and laughter carried down from the hill from the Inn. Robin made Ivan sit on the edge of the lake and covered his eyes before saying something in a different language that Ivan did not understand. Then the Venus Energist uncovered Ivan's eyes and told him to look up.

Puzzled by the older teen's actions, Ivan did as he was told and looked up. There was a strange sound off to the left as something shot up into the sky and then exploded. Ivan was about to get up but Robin laced his arms around Ivan's waist, stopping him from rising from the ground.

"They're called fireworks." Robin breathed into Ivan's ear as the Jupiter Energist looked back up at the exploding lights in the sky, now mesmerized by the bright colors.

"D-did you do this?" asked Ivan, looking back to see that Robin had been watching him the whole time, "For me?"

Robin smiled, leaning down and kissing Ivan lightly on the lips, "Maybe, maybe not." He turned away and looked up into the sky as Ivan watched him for a moment before returning his gaze to the sky and leaning against Robin's chest.

He smiled, "Thank you, Robin."

"I'm glad that you like them."

~-~-~-~

Ivan smiled to himself and wrapped his arms around Robin's neck, resting his head on the hollow of Robin's neck, "What did I do to ever deserve you?" asked the Venus Energist in a whisper, holding Ivan tighter.

"Funny," whispered Ivan, "I was just thinking the same thing myself. You are one of the nicest people that I have ever met, Robin. You are so brave, honest, and…you make me feel like I am important, like am I wanted."

"You are important to a lot of people, Ivan, not just me," said Robin, pausing in his movements. They had reached the edge of a vast lake, the light from the two suns shielded from them by an oak tree. Robin set Ivan down on the ground next to the tree, letting the Jupiter Energist lean against the oak tree.

Robin leaned against the trunk of the tree and laid his head on Ivan's shoulder, taking a deep, relaxing breath, "I want to thank you, Ivan."

"For what?" asked the Jupiter Energist as he stroked Robin's sandy blonde locks.

"For what you said to Felix back on Mars Lighthouse," whispered Robin, closing his pale blue eyes and taking another deep breath, this time picking up Ivan's scent, "I know that my Father was part of the Doom Dragon, but…I had to fight, something was telling me that that was the only way to save him and Felix's parents. That was why I fought so hard…no there was another reason why I fought as hard as I did. I did not want you to get hurt, even though you can more than take care of yourself [1].

"Yes, but you are much more stronger then I am." tried Ivan, blushing at the attention Robin was giving him. He should have been used to all the attention that he received from the Venus Energist, but it still seemed a little new to him.

"The power is not my own…the Wise One, he said that I received most of my power from the Mars Star."

"Even so, I think that most would have abused that power, but you used it properly." comforted Ivan, leaning his cheek against the top of Robin's head, "Please do not feel bad, Robin. Whenever you are sad, I am sad." Robin smiled.

"And your happiness is my happiness." returned the Venus Energist, taking Ivan's free hand in his own, "But I feel safer around you, Ivan. I never truly understood my feelings for you. All I knew was that I wanted to stay near you, no matter what it took, regardless of what other people thought. And for the first time in my life, I actually feel complete. Like the hole in me has been filled."

Ivan blushed and smiled, "I never knew that…that I was that important to you, Robin."

"I haven't gotten the chance to tell you just how important you art to me, Ivan." muttered Robin, sitting up and looking down at Ivan, "We are always on the move and we are always surrounded by people. But we are done now. All four elemental lighthouse beacons have been fired, the yamis of the four Legendary Warriors have disappeared completely and everyone is safe."

"Robin, we don't even know where the others are. We don't even know where we are." started Ivan, sitting up on his knees and leaning forward, "We aren't in Weyard anymore, and you know it. Something happened when Felix fired the Mars beacon, something that transported us to another world-or another plain. We could be dead!"

Robin smiled to himself, "Well, if we are dead, at least we are together." He laughed softly, his shoulders shaking with the joyous sound, "If we are dead, explain to me why you can hear my heartbeat?" The Venus Energist grabbed Ivan gently and made him lean forward more, pressing Ivan's ear against his chest. Ivan blushed as his hands went to Robin's chest to stop himself from falling, but he could hear the soft beating of Robin's heart in his chest. The Jupiter Energist pulled away reluctantly and nodded to Robin.

"But…where are we if we aren't dead?"

"We could be trapped in our own consciousnesses and still standing on top of Mars Lighthouse Aerie, only in a comatose state." suggested Robin, "But I don't think dwelling on that is going to help us out any. If we are here, we are here for a reason. Maybe because someone wants us here or because someone needs us. Besides don't you think that we deserve a break after all the fighting and traveling we have been doing lately?"

"Yes…" Robin turned Ivan around and made him lean back against him, "Wha-?"

"Relax," breathed Robin into Ivan's ear, "I want you to relax now, Ivan. You're so tense." The Jupiter Energist blushed as Robin began to massage his shoulders. He relaxed into the Venus Energist's touch and closed his eyes, contented on staying that way forever.

'As long as I am with Robin…I will be safe and I will never be alone again," thought Ivan, drifting in and out of consciousness as Robin began to hum to him, 'He will get us home in the end. He always comes through. This time will be no different.'
