(((((((((((((((((((((((Kouya fumed as he stared out of his open bedroom window. His eyes blue flashed with an unknown emotion whenever he remembered the incident that happened earlier that day with Kumo. So deep in thought, he didn't even hear his apartment door open or the sound of footsteps coming into his small room. Kouya did feel someone embrace him from behind and a warm breath in his ear.
"I'm so sorry, Kouya."
The Japanese men keep still his eyes towards the window, but tilted his head slightly to show that he was listening.
"I overreacted back there over something stupid, again. Like I always do, Kouya." The last part said with a bitter chuckle. Arms tightened around his waist as the person continued. "I just ... it's been a bad week for me. I've been having these nightmares again. I can't help but feel guilty every time I think about HER."
Kouya knew didn't have to think twice to know who Kumo was referring to. Kumo's mother. The American had got into that car accident that almost killed her and Kumo had felt guilty.
"Maybe you right ... I do need help." Kumo said gazing out of the window, sad expression on his face. Kouya sighed, letting his body turn to face the other man and looked up at the redheaded American. "I don't think I can hold on to these emotions and be sane at the same time. It's just not possible."
"You don't need to this alone." The Japanese man smiled slightly, when eyebrows lifted in question. "You always have me."
Kumo's eyebrows raised more in surprise. He opened his mouth to reply, but his cell phoned starts to ring. He mouthed 'sorry' to Kouya and answered the phone, walking out of the room.
Kouya gritted his teeth in frustration, looking at the spot his crush was just standing in. Every time he tried to get close to Kumo, there was always someone ruining for him. It was like someone didn't want him to be with Kumo.
"Sorry, Kouya. I have to go Tohma wants to speak to me about something." Kumo came into the room with a sheepish smile, rubbing the back of his head. "I'll talk to you later."
The Japanese man opened his mouth to protest, but he heard his apartment door close meaning that Kumo already left.
The redhead American walked slowly down the street with his hands in his pocket, looking down at the ground. He was confused on what his feelings for Kouya were. He loved Kouya very much; it was a sibling love. Not like the one Kouya was feeling for him.
Kumo had lied when he said Tohma wanted him for work. He hadn't seen Tohma sense he was hired to work at NG. It was Shuichi asking to see if he would like to go to Bad Luck's practice concert next Tuesday, which he agreed to do. He just needed to get out of Kouya's apartment. Kumo know what would have happened if he had stayed longer in Kouya's bedroom. He knew one of them would have been hurt if he stayed longer.
He was too deep in thought to know he was going to bump into someone before it was too late.
"Oof-"
Kumo sat up from the ground and looked up to meet cold eyes glaring down at him behind black sunglasses. He felt a shiver go down his spine as he stared at the handsome blonde. It was almost like the blond was blaming him for the falling down! Which it wasn't.
"Sorry about that, sir." The American apologized with a sheepish smile. The little voice in his head told him, he should just walk away. "Can you help me up?"
"Hn." The stranger still glared at Kumo and ignored the hand in front of him and walked away. Kumo face darkened in anger and stood up ungracefully from the ground, glaring daggers at the stranger's back.
"Hey, Blondie!" Kumo shouted, causing the blond turn and glance at him. With a scowl on his face, Kumo gave the stranger the middle finger before running away, yelling about a lot of assholes being in Tokyo.
Kumo watched in amusement the audience as Bad Luck tried practiced one of their songs. It was kind of hard since Shuichi kept messing up the words and crying, Hiro trying to calm Shuichi down, Suguru muttering something about never being number one band, and K shooting his gun in the air, causing Shuichi to cry more.
"Hn, Idiot."
The redhead looked in surprise to see a familiar blond from the other day. Kumo couldn't help but cringe as he recalled the fact that he gave the blonde the middle finger. He hoped the man wasn't at NG for revenge.
"What are you doing here?"
Jun Kiyo hummed to herself as she looked for Senkai Mitsushi's personal file, deciding to take matters in her own hands. 'S…Sen…found it . .Senkai.' she thought looking at the folder in her right hand and shining the flashlight over it with her left.
She closed the cabinet with her hip and opened the tan folder, excitement on her young face with a smile. Leaf green eyes searched the papers sharply for important information, not wanting to miss anything that would give her clues about Mitsushi's parents.
Her smile slowly faded disappeared from her face as she read about Mitsushi's parents. Eyes widen in surprise as the tan folder slips from her trembling hands.
"YUKI! You came for me!" Shuichi yelled happily, jumping off the stage when realizing his lover was waiting for him. He stopped in his tracks in surprise to see Kumo and Yuki yelling at each other. Actually, it was more like Kumo yelling at Yuki and Yuki giving back sarcastic remarks.
"You know this jerk, Shuichi?" Kumo asked in disbelief pointing a finger at Yuki, who stood glaring at the redhead. Shuichi smiled happily attaching himself to Yuki's arm tightly, ignoring the look his lover now was giving him.
"Yuki's my boyfriend."
Kumo blinked before grabbing a fist full of red hair in frustration shouted. "This is so not fair! Everyone has a lover! Even Blondie over here and he's an asshole!"
He slumped down ungracefully on the floor and pulled his sunglasses over his eyes, blocking any emotion people could see in his hazel eyes. Shuichi unattached himself from Yuki's arms and patted the redhead on the back.
"Its okay Kumo, you'll find someone one day." The pink-hair singer said crouching beside the sulking artist. "Just think of this, Kumo. You could have been born ugly." This made Kumo sulk more as Yuki stared down at them. Shuichi looked up innocently at his lover," Did I say something wrong?"
"Idiot."
