Let my heart wonder into the dark,
I don't need it anymore.
Let your arms embrace me,
do we still have to play silly game?-(Scar-Let Love)

After the short incident, Rei never was himself again. The Talent Show was one day away and there was no practice, no music, nothing. It's as if Rei gave up all hope in his career of becoming a singer when Kai said those words to him. The words that would bind his heart in chains forever. A single phrase of heartache.
Aki was starting to worry about his best friend. Nibbling on a pocky stick, glancing out the window, and dazed, Aki started to re-think about the whole event yesterday.
'That asshole. No, should I be saying that to Rei or to Kai? Whoever. They're both asses. Rei, you damn idiot. You fell in love with Kai years ago, and because he comes back you go crazy and try to win him back. Haven't you learned anything?' he sighed at the heavy thought on his mind.
Rei was his best friend. The day Rei got transferred into a new school, Aki couldn't stop bothering him. He was always quiet and deep in thought, that was until Aki managed to change it all. During the couple of years together he made the old memory of Kai go away. He wouldn't fell in love again, or remember about it. But one day it all went wrong. Rei did start to remember, and he didn't want to forget....His best friend was always there for him. Aki always helped him out in any situation, so why couldn't they be something more? Why couldn't they be-? The whole thought was stopped by a huge fist breaking a desk in half next to Aki.
"AKI!!!!! When the hell are you two going to get off your lazy asses and work for your damn career!? You stupid asshole! I should have killed both of you on day one! Now you're going to ruin this whole show I've been working on for months!! You....you....BASTARD!!!!!" cried out Mariah who drew everyone's attention in the classroom.
As if the pink-haired girl wasn't anger enough. Her face was turned red from all the anger she wanted to throw out at him.
"Calm down, Mariah," he said calmly," Rei hasn't been doing too well lately-"
"As if I care! Rei never does well! He's always been lazy!"
"He's not being lazy this time....It's a matter of depression.."
"If he's so depressed I don't care! Maybe it'd do us all good if he happened to make that depression lead him to dying!"
Aki rapidly stood up and smacked her," Shut your fucking mouth, you bitch! You call yourself Rei's old girlfriend when you don't even pay attention to him!? Is the Talent Show more important to you than he is?! He's not himself! Give him sometime to recover! Or are you too stuck-up to even give him that!!?"
"Aki...," mumbled Rei at the foot of the door watching the event.
His eyes widened in shock," Rei...."
"Stop trying to protect me....No. Stop trying to pity me," his voice changed into rage then left the classroom stomping down the hallway.
"No, Rei! Stop trying to run away!" yelled Aki who started to chase after him.
Mariah just sat on the ground shocked about the slap she just received. Maybe she was thinking too much about herself. The Talent Show was the thing on her mind, not Rei, or Aki, not even herself.
"Aki...thank you..," she quietly said to herself in a low voice.
Rei rushed out of the classroom, down the stairs, and out of the school grounds into the rain.
"Rei! Stop! Wait up!" yelled Aki.
"Leave me alone!" replied Rei.
Rushing up to his side, Aki managed to grab his shoulder, and push him against the nearest wall.
"No! I won't leave you alone!"
Aki's face was close to Rei's and he couldn't stop staring into his blue eyes. They were always mysterious to him, because they never reflected what Aki was always thinking. But Rei's amber eyes were filled with fear and pain. The event wouldn't leave his mind and he just wanted everything to end.
"Aki...Leave me alone. I...I don't want to even be here. I don't even want to live. Why was I born?" Rei started to drop down into depression thinking about Kai.
"Shut up...What kind of lead singer says that about himself?" small droplets of rain started to fall down his hair and on to Rei's face.
"I don't deserve to be the lead singer, Aki. I don't deserve anything. I always keep receiving the same punishment. Someone I loved left my life once, and now again. I can't take it. I don't want to be hurt again....I just wanted to be with them. With the person I love the most." Rei gripped on to Aki's school shirt and started to kneel down on to the concrete. Aki kneeled down too.
"Rei...listen to me. Just because of one major incident between you and Kai isn't going to cut it. You have to gain your confidence again. I don't want to see you hurt like this...."
Almost breaking into tears Rei stopped to look at Aki's face again," How....how did you know? How did you know I love Kai?"
Aki frowned slightly and his eyes changed to a sad look," Reason why is....Rei I won't lose you to anyone! I don't want anyone to hurt you! Not even Kai! You may have loved him before, but you're not going to love him again! Because....because...," Aki stopped.
Now it was Rei's turn for his eyes to widen," Aki...you lo-"
Before he could say another word, Aki's lips touched Rei's to create a strong kiss between the two friends.
'Aki...no. You can't love me. No..,' Rei said in his mind.
The thoughts of Kai started to disappear, the event of yesterday, his dream, and his world all went black. The rain continued to fall, and in a small puddle Rei's body lay motionless because he had fainted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Okay....Everyone can kill me!!! X.x I don't know where my mind was going when I was writing this, it wondered off topic and lead to this! Don't hurt me! T.T I just wanted to add a lil more excitement into the story and more pairings. Making it even more yaoi. XD Lol. Well, shonen-ai, but same difference. Oh, forgive me. Now that Aki finally showed Rei his feelings, how will our singer take it? Will he accepted Aki's feelings of love, or reject them so he could go back to Kai(who doesn't love him). Hm...tough. You'll all find out in a week or two from today. XD Lol. Plus coming really really soon will be a new shock to Rei when his other old time friend comes back to Tokyo, Japan. wink wink Lol.
