Touya still sobbed, still shook, but as he began to still, he looked up at Yusuke's eyes and saw how full of hate they were. "You're angry Yusuke. Don't do anything to him, please. You swore you wouldn't! I loved him once too! A part of me still does, though it hurts. Like the song goes, 'I'd give it all to have, A day alone with you. A day for me to learn, A day for me to know, Are you a blessing? Are you a curse?. I love, I hate' you can't try to find him, can't hurt him, please!" Touya begged, tears falling again.

Yusuke looked at Touya's fragile face, so full of repressed pain, and gave in. "Whatever you want, Touya." He let his hand cup Touya's cheek, covered in ice-tears; the one with the red mark, the mark he finally knew to be Jin's doing, and sighed, that he would never be able to do anything to avenge the blemish, the one thing that kept Touya's face from perfection.

Touya released the breath he'd held, relieved. "Thank-you Yusuke. I'm so glad," he smiled weakly up at Yusuke, shifting slightly to wipe off the thin layer of tear ice that coated his cheeks. He then slid up and brought his mouth to Yusuke's once again, this time parting his lips in a discrete invitation, trembling slightly as he felt Yusuke's tongue inside him, sending waves of heat he'd never felt before through his slight body. They kissed again and again, each time softer than before, till they each fell asleep, Touya covered protectively by Yusuke's arms.

A/Ns!!!

I actually wrote the lyrics for the song Touya wrote ((remember? Chap. 18-Touya's song?)) though there is no music for it, since I only played flute for one school year and sucked so much at it. So anyhow, that's part of the lyrics to it and the full lyrics will be put up. somewhere, sometime. yeah. probably on anyhow, I'll give you guys a linkie for it later, once it's up, or I might make a chappie on here just his song. If you send in a review, tell me which you'd prefer, otherwise I'm probably going to put it here since I haven't technically joined yet. -;;

Btw, sorry for the short chappies, but I always seem to be finding these places that just scream NEW CHAPTER! Yup. But since I tend to put up several at a time, you really can't complain, can you? Cuz I tend to break it up after I write it. Yeah, that.

Touya - smiling at Yusuke So. what are you doing tomorrow evening? Yusuke - 0.0;;
