"Sorry it took so long guys. I didn't mean to keep you hanging like that. I started school again so it's getting harder to sit and work on my story. I totally appreciate you reading it and encouraging me to continue to work on it. Anyway back to the story."

"I've noticed that you and Toboe are getting serious," Tsume said as he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

"Yeh I really care about him" Uri said as he looked at the soaked Toboe who looked back at him surprised.

"He cares about me," Toboe said to himself "But why is Tsume here and why does he need to talk to Uri about me?"

"I've also noticed you haven't made him yours, why is that?" Tsume asked looking around the room.

Toboe stood there thinking about what Kiba had said to him in terms of wolf relationship and ownership of each other. Toboe questioned why also.

Uri looked down at Toboe and smiled. "I want to wait until he's ready and I'm willing to wait for him no matter how long it takes" Uri leaned down and kissed Toboe lightly on the forehead.

"Toboe has always watched out for me no matter how tough I am and I've always looked out for him" Tsume said defensivly.

"I would never hurt him," Uri said apprehensively.

"I know because I would never let you" Tsume said

Toboe heard Tsume's voice and he listened contently at his words. "Tsume I never knew you cared so much about me" Toboe thought to himself.

"I can tell you care about him too," Uri said with a smile.

"Because he was the only one who cared about me." Tsume said before a flashback of his hand touching Toboe's face occurred. He remembered Toboe's words, "I will always be there."

"I just don't want Toboe to get hurt," Tsume said.

"I know that and I care about him too much to hurt him," Uri said looking at Toboe. The still running water splashed against their body as they stood there under the showerhead.

At that moment Tsume looked around the bland room and at the end of the bed he saw brown boots on the ill faded rug. They looked familiar until it hit him. "He's here but where? He just heard me saw all those things, what could he possibly be thinking" Tsume glanced over in the bathrooms direction. "He must be in there with him." Tsume said to himself taking a step back.

"I should leave" Tsume said, "I just wanted to know what you felt for Toboe."

"I feel things I never had felt before. He makes me happy just with a smile. I've always said I was looking for a place to be happy even if it isn't paradise and I think I found it with Toboe" Uri looked into Toboe's hazel eyes, the eyes that with a look made him feel like he could conquer the world. Who's touch made his body shiver and tremble. His lips that gave him so much hope and strength.

Toboe looked back into the same eyes that cared for him so much but so did Tsume's.

"I know what you mean he has that effect on people," Tsume said before he turned and walked out of the hotel room.

"Tsume" was all Toboe's mind could say.

"He really does care for you" Uri said

"I always knew he did deep down and I always knew you did too" Toboe smiled.

"I meant every word I said" Uri said placing his hand on Toboe's cheek.

"I know you don't have to tell me when you kiss me I really feel it." Toboe said looking up at Uri.

"Then let me let you feel it again" Uri pulled Toboe close to him and began to kiss him. Toboe kissed back passionately leaving them both without air until they reluctantly pulled away.

"I should go talk to him " Toboe said as he pulled away from Uri "He's my friend after all"

"Then go I already told you I would wait" Uri said handing Toboe a towel so he could dry off.

Toboe kissed Uri lightly before stepping out of the bathroom and drying himself off.

"I'll be back in a couple of minutes" Toboe said smiling at Uri as he step out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"And I will be waiting" Uri smiled.

Toboe opened the door and walked out of the room in search for Tsume. "I've always looked out for Tsume and here Tsume is looking out for me. Toboe told himself as he walked passed the balcony.

Uri lay on the bed back in his room he looked at the ceiling and closed his eyes. "I will wait forever for you ...Toboe" He fell asleep with his newfound paradise.
