:D Hey! Thank you Chibi Tetra and Rin! You guys rock! .

From last chapter!

"What you do should be with your family… we'll be seeing eachother for a long time after this… so go ahead. I'm sorry for being so selfish." Muffin watched him sadly, wanting to be with him, to hold his hand and sit under the moon, sharing the last night at their village together. He longed for it to be romantic, to be open and to be free with his emotions instead of keeping them bottled up inside him. He wanted to hold Rikaku, to be with Rikaku, to kiss those lips in which tempted him every single day, but he couldn't bring himself to do it because he was afraid of rejection.

And so was Rikaku.

Chapter one – Confessions of the Yaoi

"I wonder what Rikaku's doing right now?" Muffin thought aloud to his mother, who was sobbing and trying to get the elder to send someone else. His mother grabbed him by the collar and shook his quickly.

"YOU'RE MOTHER IS DIEING HERE! MY LITTLE MUFFIN! DON'T GO ON THIS CRAZY ADVENTURE BECAUSE IF YOU DO I'LL"

"Die?"

"I would rather die than let you die before me." She said in-a-matter-of-factly. Cutting a slice of cake off for the thinking boy, she smiled.

"Now EAT! This will probably be the last time I see you in a while, and I want to-" She stopped. Muffin shot her a glare that said clearly 'I want to be with Rikaku so let me go right now.' It's amazing how someone's face can say that….

"Mom, can I please be excused?"

"What about your party…? You at least have to clean up."

"Clean up now? But I was just leaving! No! Mom! Get over it!" He said, his temper rising. His mother was taken aback and stared for a few minutes before turning around.

"Come home before you leave and say goodbye to your poor old mother, alright?" She said with a weak smile and a small wave as she watched her son get up and walk out.

"He's growing up. Too fast." The mother said, her hand falling on her cheek. Muffin's father wrapped his arm around the female, smiling.

"Muffin doesn't grow… he kind of shrinks." The couple laughed and walked to the kitchen, where they cleaned up the mess from the small party they had.

"Muffin…" Rikaku sighed out, his eyes scanning the sky from behind a tree (he was hiding from his folks who wanted him to come home XD). Holding his breath, he crossed his fingers and looked at the stars that shone in the sky. 'A wish!'

"I wish…" 'that Muffin would come and find me… to hold me… and fight with me and even against me! I just want Muffin… right here… right…'

"…now? But I was just leaving! No! Mom! Get over it!" Rikaku turned around to find Muffin, running out of his house and looking around. Rikaku stared for a few moments before falling against the tree and acting like he was asleep.

"Rikaku! There you are! We need to talk!" He started, but stopped and sighed as he found Rikaku 'asleep'. He blinked a few times and smiled, finding a place next to him. "There's something I need to tell you."

"I was afraid."

'Of what? Muffin? What were you afraid of?' (Thoughts XD)

"I was afraid I'd never get to come here again with you. So many memories." He stated, smiling up to the skies. "When Kebori ran away, when we found the stray kitten, when we found travelers from a distant town… so exciting!" He said, giggling. Rikaku, who was doing a great job at acting, slowly formed a small smile.

"If you were awake… I would tell you… that I…. Love you very much." He said, a small smack following. "But that would ruin our relationship, wouldn't it? God… this is silly…I'm talking to someone who's asleep…"

"Not quite." Rikaku stated, his head turning, a shimmering tear slowly sliding down his happy face. Muffin stared and blushed heavily. "You mean you-"

"I… heard you. I heard it all." Rikaku said, his back now fully leaning against the tree. "And I have to say, talking to someone who's asleep has many advantages." Rikaku said, pulling his hand together with Muffin's.

"Am I right?"

"Rikaku…" Muffin said, sighing and smiling softly. Rikaku's eyes glimmered with tears that slowly fell down his cheeks. "Don't cry…" He said, placing a thumb over Rikaku's cheek and wiping the tears off.

"But I can't…" he said inbetween sobs. "I'm just… so happy! I love you too…!" Rikaku said, throwing his arms around Muffin and holding on, not wanting to let him go. Muffin's hand slowly came to Rikaku's back and he smiled as well, pulling his face back to find those moist, pink lips he only dreamed of having.

"I love you… Rikaku…" He said gently as he placed his lips on Rikaku's, tongues intertwining, emotions flying rapidly, and two very happy boys smiling at eachother.

"I can't… Breath…" Rikaku said helplessly as Muffin pushed him down to the ground.

"Then don't."

And so ended their lovely night.

Okay! First of all, I couldn't find a place to put the phrase I was gonna use from the last chapter… and any Ceres fans would recognize that last statement… no… before they ended the night. Yes, that one. . I'm sorry this chapter was so short! The next one will be longer! Honest! ;.;

Well, this is Rikky, signing out!

PREVIEW OF NEXT CHAPTER

"Who are you…?" Muffin asked the blue haired girl before him. The girl smiled and winked.

"I'm Kebori! Don't you remember, Muffin?"
