animefan rikku- Well, here's the next chapter.
kasia- Thanks for reviewing. I'm glad you like the story so far. Don't worry, they'll both get out eventually, Rei sooner than Kira as you'll see in this chapter.
kitsunia- I thought it was cute too. Rei and Kira are the greatest couple! Their love is as solid as a rock. There's some Akira and Hideaki stuff in here, so enjoy! Yay, my ninth chapter has been Kitsunia proofed. Here's my next chapter, I hope you like it.
optical illusions- Agreed, the review button is sexy. Thank you for reviewing!
Moonmaiden625- Woe is the life of a student... I'm glad you liked the chapter. Don't worry Hideaki and Akira work things out later in this chapter. Kira's dad will get what's coming to him, don't worry! Can't wait for your next review! I'm glad that you're enjoying both of my Mars fanfics.
man- There wont be much yaoi after this chapter. Thank you for the compliment and the review. Thank you for bringing the rating thing to my attention. See, I've changed it ::points upwards::.
Enjoy!
Rei stopped in his tracks when he spotted his father sitting at one of the desks on the other side of the glass window in the guest room. He was the last person Rei expected to see here. He soon got over his amazement and continued forward, he had to keep up his tough uncaring facade.
He sat down in front of his father and stared over at him coldly. Rei watched his father carefully, waiting for him to pick up the phone. Rei's father looked as he always did, he wore a suit and kept his briefcase nearby. His short blond hair was gelled back carefully, that his cold blue eyes and glasses made him look cold and very serious. Rei picked up the phone after his father did.
"Good morning Rei," his father said professionally, there was no warmth or love in his voice. "How have you been?" he asked as he pulled out his briefcase and took out a few papers.
"Just fine... no thanks to you," Rei muttered.
"That's nice," he hadn't even been listening. "Well, I've got great news for you. I've settled a deal with your officer and the police department. You'll be out of here by next week," he said proudly, for it was all his own doing.
Rei's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe it, he truly thought that he'd rot in here. It was impossible to think that he'd only get a year and a half for drug use, possession and sale, grand theft auto, assault, and a two page list of other offenses he couldn't remember.
"Now you know what this means don't you?" his father continued, his slightly wrinkled face was tight and very serious.
"What?" Rei choked out. There were always rules and conditions with his father. It was impossible for his father to allow him to just skip out of juvie and live his own life. That was one of the things Rei detested about his father.
"You'll live with me..." he was cut off by Rei.
"No, forget it. I'd rather rot in jail and in hell afterwards than move in with you!" Rei exclaimed, his face growing hot with anger.
His father's face went completely serious, showing Rei that there would be absolutely no room for argument. "Look, you're seventeen, a few months from being eighteen. A couple of months with your old man aren't going to kill you. After your eighteenth birthday you can move out and do whatever you please with your life," his father said. "Or you can stay here for the few months and then have them transfer you to real jail, which is harder to get out of. You really should be thanking me."
Rei clenched his teeth, the vein in his left temple was pulsating. "Fine..." he mumbled. "Whatever..." Rei said, his father always got his way. It would be something he'd have to get used to again.
Hideaki jumped slightly when he felt someone grab at his wrist. He should have known better than to wander around the facility by himself.
"Hideaki can I talk to you?" Akira asked softly, looking into Hideaki's eyes pleadingly.
"We have nothing to talk about," Hideaki said coldly despite the shivers going up and down his spine. Although he didn't want to admit it he was glad that Hideaki wanted to talk to him.
"I think we do," Akira replied strongly. He wasn't going to let Hideaki get away from him. He was determined to set things the way they were supposed to be.
Hideaki clenched his jaw and pulled his arm away from Akira and took a few steps away from him.
"Please, just come with me to the cafeteria and listen to what I have to say. After that I'll never ask anything more of you," Akira said desperately. He really wanted to win Akira back, but wouldn't blame Akira if he never spoke to him again.
Although his brain was telling him not to he followed Akira to the cafeteria. It was dinner time so it was very crowded.
After weaving in-between tables they finally found space to sit in the center of the cafeteria.
"I'm sorry Hideaki. I've been acting like an ass for months... There's no excuse for the way I've been treating you. It's just... I love you Hideaki I really do. I don't want to lose what we have. You mean the world to me and I'd do anything to have you back in my arms," Akira said nervously, hoping that Hideaki would accept his apology.
Hideaki thought about what Akira just said. He knew that it probably took a lot of courage for him to come up to him and plead for forgiveness like this. Perhaps it was a sign that Akira really could change. "Okay," he said simply.
"Huh? Just like that?" Akira asked, his eyes wide with surprise. Akira didn't think that it would have been that easy to get him back.
Hideaki smiled, leaned towards Akira and placed a hand behind his head. He watched as a blush slowly creeped upon Akira's face, and then gave him a sweet kiss on the lips. It was his turn to be surprised when Akira deepened the kiss.
Moments later Hideaki pulled away for air.
"I love you," Akira said softly, not caring who may have been watching.
"I love you too," Hideaki replied with a weak smile.
"Hey Kira," Rei greeted her as he did everyday, although things seemed infinitely different between them now. They did after all exchange 'I love yous' two days ago.
Kira sat up on her bed and looked over at Rei. The light that poured out of the window behind her and landed on Rei made him look like a golden god, it made it hard for her to act like she was mad at him.
He gently shut the door behind him and sat next to her. "I'm sorry about yesterday," he said gently. The last thing he wanted was for Kira to be angry at him.
She hung her head low, she could tell he genuinely felt bad about it. "I missed you," she said, her voice breaking. She felt a bit shy confessing these kinds of things to him.
"I missed you too," Rei said truthfully as he placed a hand on her knee. "There's something I want to tell you," he said, taking a deep breath and preparing for what he had to tell her.
"What is it?" she asked, looking up into his deep blue eyes. She wondered if it had something to do about why he wasn't here yesterday.
"My dad came to visit me yesterday. Thanks to him I'll be out by next week," he paused, waiting for Kira's reaction. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out. "I'll be living with my dad until I'm eighteen, which will be a couple of months...."
Kira blinked at him a couple of times. She didn't expect him to be out so soon, not after all he told her he'd done in the past. It made her wonder about how much power his father had, and why he'd hate him that much if his father did all that for him.
"I'm happy for you. That's great!" Kira said once she got over her shock, a wide smile plastered on her face.
"What's the matter? You don't seem so excited," she commented.
"It's not that I'm not excited, it's just that I'll have to move in with m controlling father, go to a new high school and all that. What's the point if I'm going to leave as soon as I'm eighteen," Rei explained.
"Where will you go?" she asked.
"Anywhere, I don't care as long as I'm not with him..." there was a long and uncomfortable moments of silence. "I wont be able to see you as often as I am now," Rei admitted.
Kira looked down and nodded her head slowly. "I know."
"I'll come as soon as possible though. I promise," he said convincingly. "And every moment that I'm not with you I'll miss you like crazy." Rei gave her a small smile and gave her a reassuring kiss on the cheek.
Kira closed her eyes and inhaled his scent. She secretly worried that once he left juvie he'd see tons of girls that were better than she was, and that eventually he'd stop visiting. She felt like a caged bird.
"What's wrong?" Rei asked when he felt her tense up.
Kira shook her head. "It's nothing, really."
"You're a horrible liar, tell me what's bothering you," Rei urged her. "Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then it's okay," Rei said after she refused to respond.
They sat there with each other in silence until it was time for Rei to go.
"I've got to go. Bye Kira," he said simply, hoping she'd tell him her thoughts before he left.
"Bye Rei, I'll see you tomorrow," she replied. She sighed when she thought about how much she'd miss saying those words. She scolded herself for taking Rei for granted like that.
"Love you," he said.
"I love you too," Kira said with a small smile as she felt his press his warm soft lips on her forehead. Her smile slowly faded as she watched him walk out of the door.
