A/N: Well, here you guys go. I hope you liked Malachite's POV... that was the first one I've ever done in my good... three years of doing fan fiction. Actually, this is the longest chapter story I've ever done as well. Well damn... surprising myself with new things every day... (LOL). Some parts of the story will leave you out in the cold because you really won't hear about it until the prequel. And some parts of this story will be told over (you know, since it was in the chapters or in Malachite's POV). And some parts will be very new. This will, most likely, be the longest chapter in this story. Just like Malachite's POV, the lines represents time changes. On with the story...


Pleasures For You:

Nephrite's POV:


Current time...

I love him with all my heart, but I love her, too. Maybe, this will bring us all closer...


Senior year in high school... (6 yrs. Ago)

"Hey, have you noticed the way Makoto looks at me when we see each other?"

"Mally, I don't take notice to juniors... you know that."

I knew that was way past a lie. The truth was I was in love with Makoto... and it was ever since her and I...


Prom night... (A month before the conversation above)

"Nephrite... I have a confession," a semi-drunk Ami said.

I smiled at her, knowing I shouldn't take advantage of this blued hair beauty but I knew I had to if I wanted to get her. The truth was, I loved Ami like a sister... but nothing more and she didn't realize that. I knew that I had to get to Ami first before I was able to get to Makoto.

"And what's that, Baby?"

"I've always wanted to have a threesome."

I didn't know what to say to that, so I just gave her a surprised look. This was working way too well way too fast. I hadn't expected her to want to do anything like that. This was turning out to be a wonderful night.

Makoto and Jadeite came to the prom, mainly because they were best friends. Jadeite was long gone and passed out on my couch. My parents wouldn't be home for another three days, so I took every advantage I had of that. Malachite and his date, Amira went to some hotel. Mamoru and Usagi went back to his place. And Rei... I'm not sure where she was, but I hope out of danger. She was basically like my kid sister after her grandfather died of cancer a few years back. He was a great man and since my parents respected him so much, we took her in.

"And who do you want to have it with, my dear?"

As I asked that, my penis sprung up. There was only one other person in the room and it was Makoto. She was drunk... maybe a little too drunk to remember anything that was going on... or what was going to go on.

In a slurred voice, Makoto said, "I think she wants to fuck the both of us."

In my years of knowing Makoto, I don't think I've ever known her to be so bold. Of course she always spoke up, but I've never heard her be bold about sex. This was getting me going.

"Is that what you want, Ami?"

"Yes, sweetie... I know you want her and not me."

I looked into her eyes and I didn't see the Ami I knew. Yes, Ami was always smart, knowing way more than anyone her age. The Ami I saw was the regal one from her planet, Mercury. She may have not been in that form, but what I saw made me want to run because she knew that truth. She knew that I didn't love her like she loved me... she knew it all, while I thought she was totally oblivious to it.

Well, a man is going to be a man... especially with two enticing sexy women to have sex with. Makoto, with her sleek, almost sheer, short dress was looking ever so sexy with this Cheshire smile... most likely because of the alcohol. Her sexy, exotic look turned me on every second.


Thoughts end...

I took her virginity. I always thought she wasn't, especially because of her sex appeal. It was a wild and crazy night between us. I'm not sure if Ami remembers or not, but I know Makoto doesn't. She apologized for anything that she might have done that night because of the alcohol in her system. I was kind of glad because I didn't want her to know how I feel about her... at least, not just yet.

"Neph, you can't tell me you haven't looked at Makoto in a sexual way. No man can lie on that one."

"Mally... alright, sure; I'll admit that I have. I'd be crazy not to. But c'mon; Ami and I just broke up... what is it? Drop one junior and pick up another? I don't think so... plus, they're best friends. I couldn't do that."

"I'm not asking if you slept with the girl or anything. I'm just asking if you've noticed how sexy she is."

"Like I said, I'd be crazy if I said I didn't."


Last month in senior year...

"Man, can you believe what she just did?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry, Mally."

"Neph... do you know how much this hurts?"

Malachite had just found out Amira was cheating on him and he needed a shoulder to cry on. I'm his best friend, why wouldn't I be there. But for some reason, I felt more than just friendship between him and I. It went way deeper than brotherhood, as well. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but I envisioned him naked and got a stiffy.

To hide the boner I just caught, I got up and went to the bathroom. I had to talk myself down from it. I mean, me... gay?! It sounded so bazaar in my head, but something felt right about it. Of course, I shook it off. I mean, even if I did feel... feelings towards men... he was like a brother to me.

After I came back out, Malachite was crying. He lied on my lap the whole night until he fell asleep. It took so much, feeling like too much, restraint to keep from getting a boner. I don't know what's happening, but I wish it would stop.


A few days later...

"Hey, Mally; you want to go to this party? I heard everyone who's everyone would be there."

"Yeah, Neph; and so will she."

Even though we were in the middle of a conversation, I asked him if he wanted a beer.

"Neph, you know I don't drink that crap. I don't even know how you can 'cause it's just gross!"

"Hey, don't knock the hustle! Look, after what happened with you and her, you need one."

We made it official that we wouldn't say Amira's name anymore, so we simply settled for "her". He was right; I knew she would be there, but I knew that he would have to face her again one day, and damnit, today was that day. I know it felt a little too soon for reunions, but he need to be a man and stop bitchen up because the more he did that, the more shit he will go through in future relationships.

"Yeah, but I deserved it... I was horrible to her." Malachite said.

"How do you figure? You gave that girl the world and she cheated on you. You need someone who's going to love you for you, man."

"Neph..."

"Don't argue... shit... if I was a broad, I'd fuck you... not even just that. You're a really great guy."

"You really think so?"

"Yeah, if I was gay, I think I'd tongue you down right now."

I couldn't believe I said that shit!! It wasn't like me... at least, he didn't know that it was like me. I saw him blush and couldn't help but to wonder if maybe he felt something. We looked each other in the eyes and I turned away first. I couldn't help it.

I just cleared my throat to get back to the topic on hand.

"Look, she may be there, but there will be plenty of other females there... someone with shapely legs, gorgeous ass, titties for days..."

"Neph, who the hell are you talking about?"

"The beautiful brunette we both know as Makoto."

SHIT! Why did I just do that! Makoto's mine... maybe he won't go for her.

"Yeah, she is very beautiful... but I'm not ready."

I think I let out breath I didn't know I was holding... until...

"Malachite, what's with the smile?"

"You know what... maybe I should go after Mako-chan. She's very beautiful and we have so many things in common..."

I started to panic.

"Um... now that I think about it, Makoto's out of your league, don't you think?"

"No... hell no! You mean to tell me you can't feel the spark between us."

Think fast... think fast...

"Yeah, but you know we're leaving to go to college in a few months... in America, might I add."

"Yeah, that's true." Malachite said, sulkily.

I, mentally, gave myself a pat on the back for that one and literally gave Malachite a pat on the back since I busted his bubble.

"Don't worry; maybe you'll find a nice American girl."

"Yeah, maybe Neph... just maybe."

Well, a little after that we went to a party. Of course we saw Amira, but Malachite tried his damnedest not to notice. She tried playing him like a sucker, but I put a stop to that.

"Mally, baby..."

"Bitch, only his closest friends call him that... people who love him. And Amira, you don't love him."

"Nephrite, you don't know how I feel about him. I love him... I really do."

"No you don't. If is wasn't for Benyshuto fucking some other girl, you'd be at home kissing his ass."

"Fuck you!"

"Nah, you did that to Malachite... too bad you're slutty ass won't be able to that anymore. You ain't shit, Amira. Get your skank ass the hell away from us!"

She ran off crying. When I looked over to Malachite, I could tell he was blushing. I gave him a look, kind of asking why he was, but then he ran off in the bathroom. I went to see if he was alright, making sure not to mention what I saw. He told me he was cool, but he wanted to go home. I offered to drive him, but he told me to have fun. And have fun, I did.

"Mako-chan, how are you?"

"Hey, Neph! How are you, sweetie?"

"I'm fine, baby. Ya wanna dance?"

"Sure!"

We danced the night away. I got a few feels here and there, but not as much as I wanted.

"Hey, Mako-chan, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes... what is it?"

"Do you find me attractive?"

"Of course... who wouldn't? I mean, look at your eyes... they're something you can get lost in. Your body is... so built and muscular and oh so very sexy. Your lips are so... luscious..."

I kissed her. I couldn't help it. We kept kissing and swaying to the beat of the music. I opened my eyes to see Ami standing there... She wasn't sad or happy. She just gave an acknowledging look and walked away. I didn't want to stop, but I wasn't sure that I should keep going.

Moments later, Makoto pulled back.

"You know... we shouldn't do this... at least not here..."

I looked at her. We looked eyes for a minute and I realized what she was asking me. I grabbed her hand and led her through the crowd, trying to make sure we didn't see Ami. I knew Makoto wanted this, but I knew if she saw her best friend, nothing would happen between us.

We kissed through the whole parking lot to get to my car. Since the party wasn't far from my house, it took no time to drive there. Makoto played with my dick throughout the whole time. I thought for sure we would crash. I could hardly concentrate on my driving.

Once we arrived in front of my house, we were kissing again. I, hurriedly, got out and opened her door. Once we were out of the car, we kept kissing. We kissed down the driveway and up to the doorstep. I got out the keys, opened the door, and tackled her to the couch.

Very quickly, maybe a little too quick, a mixture of clothes was on the floor. We kept kissing and feeling all over each other. I picked her up to take her to the bedroom when she wrapped her legs around my waist. I thought I would bust a nut right then and there, but I was able to hold off. When we got to my bedroom, I grabbed a condom out of my dresser and slipped it on. I through her on the bed where we started kissing again. I ate her out to get her ready. I remember from the first time that I had sex with her that she was really tight. Once she had her first of many orgasms that night, I entered her, getting a nut-worthy moan from her.

About four hours later, we both collapsed from fatigue. She fell asleep in my arms and I knew that she had to be mine for the rest of my life.

After I fell asleep, I had a dream about Malachite. He and I were making love on the sand... It felt so real... so relieving. I felt at so much ease... When I woke up, with Makoto still in my arms, I realized that I had just nutted. I couldn't believe I just had a wet dream about my best friend... about another guy. For some reason... I liked it and wished I could do it for real.

Once I realized what I was thinking, I got out of bed and went to rinse my face off with cold water. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and realized I had a lot of thinking to do. There was just so much that I didn't understand about myself yet, but I knew, for the sake of my friendship with Malachite, I had to find out.


(Five months later) Freshman year in college...

"Mally, I want you to..."

"Neph?"

I woke up... realizing I was talking in my sleep. I blushed a deep crimson red... With one slip of the tongue, he would have know what I was dreaming about. He would have known what I was thinking for the past five months.

"Oh, sorry... I was dreaming, I suppose... but I don't remember on earth it was about."

I had to add that last part in just in case he had asked me what it was about.

"I guess I was in it, though, 'cause you said that you wanted something, but I woke you up before you finished... Well... whatever. It's not as if you were gonna say you wanted me to fuck you or something."

He laughed and smacked me on my knee. I just chuckled and got out of the bed.

We had been sharing the dorm room for the past two months and I had been having that same dream, if not a little more detailed here and there. This was the first time it had ever gone that far... that I would be talking in my sleep and about to reveal something I wasn't sure of myself. Even though it had been five months ago since I had that first dream about him and I, I wasn't sure of what I felt. I wasn't sure if it was just a phase or if I really was bisexual. I don't know, but I need to find out before anything goes on between my sleep talking and Malachite.

I know that I can't figure this out on my own, so I'll go to see Setsuna... she is an oracle.


A week later...

"Hello Nephrite. What brings you to my realm?"

"Setsuna... I need your help."

"What do you feel?"

"Wa-what? Feel about what?"

"About your white haired partner... what do you feel?"

"That's what I came to you for."

She turned to me.

"You know..."

"I-I... I love him."

"Are you sure?"

"Y-yes... I think..."

"No! Are you sure?"

"... Yes. I love him with all my heart."

With the blink of an eye, I wound up back in my dorm room.

"Gees... goodbye, Setsuna."

Sophomore Year in college...

"Nephrite, Malachite, Zoisite, Jadeite, and Mamoru!"

We all looked up from the t.v. and saw Usagi, Makoto, Ami, Rei, and Minako standing in the doorway of the student hall. We rushed to each other. All you were able to see and hear was bodies hugging together and kisses. I totally forgot they were going to come here.


Weeks later...

We taught the girls English on a daily basis. We were in the Big Apple and you couldn't get very far without knowing a little bit of English.

Makoto and I didn't exactly exclusively see each other, mainly because of Ami and Malachite, but also because I still wasn't sure of whether I wanted to tell Malachite my true feelings. I did love him, but the longer I saw Makoto, I started falling in love with her, too.


Junior year in college...

"Nephrite! Makoto!"

Damnit! Makoto and I looked up from kissing, only to see Usagi, Rei, and Mina in the doorway. Little did anyone in the room, other than me, know that Ami didn't care. She knew how we felt about each other for the past two years. Everyone else was totally oblivious to it, but she wasn't.

Makoto looked at them then looked at me. She panicked and I can't blame her. She ran out the room, leaving the other three girls to give me the death stare. They looked at me for a second and then ran after Makoto.

Just when I was getting really close to her, they had to mess it up. I felt so much contempt for them, but I couldn't blame them. They didn't know how we felt. I'm not sure if Makoto feels the same way, but...


Senior Year in college...

Ok... today is the day. Makoto and I haven't been really talking for the past year. We talk we we're in our group or something, but we don't talk exclusively. That gave me time to think about everything. Everything down to my feelings for Makoto to my feelings for Malachite. And I realized that... I wanted... no, needed Malachite in my life...


A few hours later...

"Malachite... I've been thinking about something. Now if you start to feel uncomfortable, we don't have to talk about it, but..."

"Neph... please say what you have to... I'll listen. You know we're like brothers."

With a big breathe, I said, "Malachite, I don't know if you've noticed, but I think there are strong sexual feelings between us."

I could see his eyes balloon up and he looked like he was all chocked up.

I could tell he was thinking, so I decided to continue.

"I know that you like Makoto and I know that you wouldn't dare appear any other way than straight in front of anyone else, but I can't help but to ask you if you possibly want to experiment with me. This would be my first gay experience as well... look; you don't have to if you don't want to... Look, why don't I give you awhile to think about because I can tell you're a bit shocked. If you don't, we won't have to ever talk about this again."

After I told him that, I walked out of the room. I knew I had him because I could see the love in his eyes. It took me four years to realize what I felt and I wasn't going to let him go that easily. Call me selfish, but if I can't have Makoto, neither can he. She can't have him if I can't either. Maybe I could have them both...


A month later...

"Nephrite, are sure about this?"

"Mally, look... we should explore these things... we have been talking about this for awhile now..."

"Nephrite... alright, but this doesn't leave this room, ok?"

"You have my word, Mally."

I knew it. We talked about it for the past four weeks, but now, the time has finally come.

I held my arms out to him and like a moth to a flame, he came to me. He and I hugged for a minute. I moved back a little and tilted his head up to mine, speaking that I'm a bit taller than him.

He looked into my eyes and I looked into his. He came closer to my lips and I came closer to his. Once our lips touched, our hearts danced... it was just blissful. He seemed very shy, so I probed his lips so that our tongues could dance the same dance that our hearts were.

I felt his insecurity slip away as his tongue and my tongue met. We kissed like that for a few minutes. When I pulled back, I smiled at him, but I didn't get a smile in return.

"Nephrite... I don't know if this is wise. I... I think I'm on the verge of falling in love with Makoto."

I wanted to say something, but had nothing to say. I didn't think it would happen this way.

"Mally, we were only experimenting. We never have to do this again if that's what you want."

"Neph... I do want this... us... but I want Makoto as well. This won't be fair to either one of you, so I need to think about this whole situation."

I was still at a loss for words, so I simply kissed him on his cheek and left the room.


The next day...

"Damn it all!"

"What's wrong?" Ami asked.

"This is the 20th letter I tried to write to her, but it's just not working."

I knew I would have to try and hurt the could-be relationship between Makoto and Malachite, so I decided to confess my love to her.

"Well, Nephrite, why don't you just tell her how you feel? I mean, you don't know if she'll like you or not."

"I don't even know why I'm bothering, Ami-chan; she'll probably see it as a sign of betrayal since you and I were together."

"Yeah, but... maybe if I tell her how you feel and that you and I are best friends and that I won't feel offended if you two get together."

"Ami, you would do that for me?"

"Yes, Neph... I love you... you know that."

"Yes, I know."

I held and we kissed for what I knew would be the last real kiss between us. I can't just keep stringing her along like this. She deserves much better; something I just can't give her. There was so much passion held in that one kiss that made me wonder why I didn't love her for her. I did love her, but not the way that she wanted and needed me to. I got a bit misty eyed and so did she. I felt her first tear fall on my cheek and when we pulled back I could tell there would be plenty more. Not in front of me, though. When you have Usagi as a friend, you tend to learn how to be strong.

Without saying a word, Ami left so that she could go talk to Makoto. When she came back a few hours later with an exhausted look on her face...

"Don't ask, Nephrite. Just know that Malachite and Makoto are going on a date tonight. You were minutes too late... I'm sorry."

She looked like she had just went at it in the bedroom... mentally and physically, I shrugged my shoulders and realized defeat. I had failed myself. I couldn't even get Malachite. Now, I have no one. I feel as though I'll be alone for the rest of my life...


Three years later...

These dreams have been tormenting me! It's the same dreams I had before Malachite knew how I cared about him. They just won't rid me! I need him! I can't function right without him. I've been feeling so lonely lately.

We have been out of school for three years now, so I was able to get a house with Jadeite and Zoisite. It's a big two story house and even with them living here, I'm alone. I need Malachite back in my life. We are still best friends, but because we never extinguished the sexual feelings between us, there is a bit of uneasiness. It's not about Makoto and it's not about not having either one of them. I... just... need... Malachite.

I think I'll decide to invite him to lunch...


A few hours later...

I had him right where I wanted him.

"Mally, you can't deny the sexual tension between us during these past two years... you know, I can't believe I let you get out of my grasp before, but I'm not gonna let it happen again."

I had him pinned up against my office desk. We planned that afternoon to have lunch, but I told him to meet me in my office first.

"Neph... you know we can't do this... not here, not now."

I kissed him. I knew he wasn't suspecting it, but hey, I could do what I wanted. I had him right there at the right time. This kiss... this kiss was even better than the one we shared so long ago. I could feel him melt against my body, but not a moment too soon, I felt him tense up and push me back a few steps.

I couldn't believe it! After all of this... no... it's really over...

"Malachite... tell me you don't want this right now and I will never again..."

"Neph," he put his hands on my face, "I do want this, but this isn't fair to Makoto and this isn't fair to you."

"I know, but... if I can't have you all to myself... I can just share you."

"Nephrite..."

I put my finger up and covered his lips to silence him.

"Listen, I know this isn't right, but... I just can't let you go and I don't want to have to. Now, do you want this?"

It felt like an eternity before he answered...

"...Yes."

Victory is sweet...


Eight months later...

Malachite met me at the spot were we always have lunch. I sat there calm, cool, and collected... but I just knew this was the calm before the storm.

"You have to stop calling me like this. Makoto may find out."

I was wearing a big hat and sum sunglasses. I knew Malachite was never comfortable admitting that he liked men... at least to other people, so I disguised myself as a woman.

"Don't worry; she'll never suspect you're cheating on her. She's too in love with you to believe you'd cheat on her with another woman... let alone a man."

Malachite grabbed my hands... I knew it was the calm before the storm... I just hope it's not too bad of a storm.

"I know, Nephrite, but you never know. We have to keep this low-key... which is why I don't think we should see each other for awhile."

I grabbed onto his hands tighter. In that one moment, I saw our whole relationship crash down on me. It made me remember the first time we made love in my office eight months ago. I remembered all those lovely nights we spent together in my room... and now, everything was coming to an end. I couldn't let this happen.

"Mally... I love you... I need you... Don't get me wrong, I like Mako-chan just as much as the next person, but why do I have to come second to her? You and I were together before you even know her."

"Neph, I know... and as much as I love you, I love her a lot... I want to marry her."

I couldn't keep the anger repressed anymore. I stood up, ready to raise hell.

"What the fuck! No... hell no!! It's out of the question!"

"Neph, please calm down... just sit and listen."

I started catching a terrible migraine.

"Look, why don't we talk about this later."

Malachite stood up, I guess to calm me down. He put his hands on my shoulders, which actually reassured me.

"I love you... never forget that."

He smiled at me then and I knew it wasn't over. But... I was still just so pissed. I decided to just smile back at him anyway, even if I wanted to kill him, and Makoto, for that matter.

"I love you too, Mally."

I leaned in and gave him a kiss. At first, Malachite was stiff against me, I have no idea why. It's not like it was the first time we kissed in public. Eventually, he melted into in the kiss. My love fed at my tongue, hungrily. A few minutes later, we parted from each other.
Hours later...

I tossed and turned in my bed that night thinking about the last time Malachite and I made love. It was a month prior, the fourth of July, to be exact. We faked an argument so that they could go back to my house and "discuss it".

While we were going up stairs, since Malachite was a bit tipsy, he stumbled a little. I wanted to laugh at him for drinking so much, but that would have killed the mood. He kissed me then. We kept kissing until we got to the bedroom. It, sort of, reminded me of when Makoto and I made love.

Once we got into the bedroom, we took off each other's clothes and kept kissing. I grabbed a condom while we finished kissing. I grew bigger in anticipation of things to come after I entered Malachite. With every thrust of my manhood, Malachite let out moan after moan. After about an hour and a half of love making, we climaxed at the same time while looking into each other's eyes. We fell asleep in each other's arms, wet and sweaty.

After my thoughts of Malachite and I, I realized that I had some options. I could either let Malachite go, share him, kill Makoto, or kill myself. I sure as hell don't want to kill anyone, especially myself. I guess I have no choice... then again... If I jeopardize their relationship

First thing the next morning when I knew Malachite wouldn't be home, I called Makoto so I could invite her to lunch.

"Hello?" Makoto asked out of breath because she had was just doing Tae-bo.

"Mako-chan... it's Nephrite. Am I interrupting anything?"

"Oh, hi, sweetie! No, it's ok; I was just doing some Tae-bo... is everything ok?"

"Why would anything be wring, dear? I just wanted to know if you wanted to join me for lunch this afternoon?"

"Oh, ok then. You just seem a little distraught. You sure there's nothing wrong? Are you sure everything is ok?"

"Yes, Mako-chan; everything is fine. I'll come and pick you up at noon. Is that alright?"

"Sure. Just ring the bell when you get here."

"Ok then. See you in a little while."

"Bye, Neph."

At twelve o' clock on the dot, I arrived at Makoto's house.

"Hey, baby! How are you?" asked Makoto, giving me a hug.

"Hey Mako-chan. It's nice to see you, too. Are you ready?"

"Yeah, let me just get my keys and purse."

I decided to take Makoto to the little café Malachite and I always go to. It was the closest, plus, I love their cheese cake.

"Mako-chan," I grabbed her hands, "is there anything the matter? What are you thinking about that has you so perturbed?"

"This feels like dejavuu... except, not with me. You ever had that feeling?"

"Once or twice maybe. You look saddened, though. Stop thinking about whatever it is because it's bringing my Mako-chan down."

We smiled at each other. After the waiter came and we ordered our lunch I decided to tell her everything here and now. I was a bunch of jumbled nerves. I mean, how do you tell someone you love that you're sleeping with his or her man... especially when you're a man yourself.

I held onto her hands again.

"Mako-chan, there's something I need to discuss with you."

"What is it, 'hun'? I knew there was something bothering you earlier! Who is she and what has she done to you?"

If she only knew...

"Well, it's not actually a girl... it's..."

"Everyone listen up! There's a fire right next to here! I want everyone to evacuate as quickly as possible!" yelled the store manager. A few of the waiters and bus boys were trying to help the elderly evacuate while the other employees were all for themselves.

I can't believe this... just as I was about to say it...

"Nephrite, snap out of it! We have to leave... NOW!" Makoto yelled, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I grabbed her by the hand and we went to get away from the fire. The only thing was the street and blocks were backed up.

Just my luck... every fucking one has to be out on a day like today...Then I realized that some jackass double-parked in front of my car.

"Mako, we either have to take a walk for a little while and sit here and wait or we have to take the train. What do you want to do?"

"We can take a little walk; it's such a nice day anyway."

I just realized that all my nerve was gone and I had to find a way to get it back and quick!

As we walked through he park, my courage came back, but I began to think of her reactions to this. Two things can happen. A: she can except it or B: she'll want to kick my ass... I'm hoping for the first...

"Earth to Nephrite!" Makoto exclaimed just before I bumped into a pole.

Shit... just what I needed...

"Sorry Mako- chan... what were you saying?"

"I said so who is she?"

"Who is who?"

I felt confused. Not only was I thinking about what to say to her

"This woman that you came to ask my advice for."

I looked around to see if anyone may be watching or listening.

"It's not a woman..."

She looked like she was in denial.

I cleared my throat so that I could say it louder.

"It's not a woman."

She looked at me... very strangely. Who wouldn't? Wouldn't you if you found out that your ex-fuck-buddy was queer?

"Makoto... please, can we sit down. I have a lot of explaining to do to you."

She nodded and we walked to the back, more secluded part of the park.

This is it...

"Makoto... Mally and I..."

'Thwish!' It started pouring down rain.

I can't believe this!!!

"Whatever it is, it can wait! We have to get out of this rain!" Makoto yelled over the noise while getting up.

We ran with the speed of light to get to the car to see if the jackass left. I started thinking more about my strategy. Maybe if I include her, she won't be as angry... Or maybe I should just talk it over when Malachite... No! I've come this far; I can't hurt her anymore! Malachite hurt her and I've been hurting her... No, she must know today! Great... the jerk-off who parked in front of me is gone.

I fumbled with my keys as we continued running through the sudden rain shower. As soon as we got inside the car and was about to drive away, it stopped raining.

Ain't that a bitch...

I realized there was no better place to tell her than right here...

"Neph... what's the matter?" Makoto asked with much concern.

I slowly turned towards her, putting my keys in my lap.

"Mako-chan... I need you to listen to me. If you never want to talk to me again, I'll understand."

Makoto grabbed both of my hands. "Listen to me... what ever it is, it can't over-ride our friendship."

Yeah, she says that now...

With an exasperated breath, I gathered courage to tell Makoto.

"Mako-chan... Malachite and I... well..."

Makoto grabbed my hands harder.

With another deep breath, I said, "Mallyandihavebeensleepingtogetherforeightmonthsandweareinlovewitheachother. "

Makoto looked at me and she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"Neph... I know this is hard for you, but you're gonna have to repeat yourself and talk a bit slower."

"Malachite and I... have been... sleeping together for the past eight months... and we love each other..."

First, she gave me this unbelievable look. Then one tear fell. Than two... so on and so forth...

Through her tears, she said, "What a cruel joke to play on me, Neph!"

"This is not a joke... I'm sorry. We never meant to hurt you. That is why I had to come out and say something to you. I couldn't just let you go on not knowing. I'm not sure when Malachite planned on telling you, but it isn't fair to either one of us."

"To either of us? What about me? I was with him way before you! I can't believe you would backstab me like this!"

"Mako-chan..."

Slap!

Before I could even recover from the impact of Makoto's right hand, she was out the door. I was steady behind her, and boy, could this girl run fast. She ran and ran. She looked back and saw me chasing after her. She ran faster, a pace I couldn't even catch up to. I just stopped and let her run.

I knew I did it... but now, I had to deal with the consequences of it with Malachite. I'll be in for it...


A few hours later...

"NEPHRITE!" Malachite yelled toward my window.

Oh boy... here we go...

"Oh, hey Malachite. How are you?"

"Don't be fucking coy with me... come down here, now!"

"Alright, hold on."

I hope he doesn't do anything drastic... I love him, but I don't want to have to hurt him.

"Malachite, I know why you're here, but I can explain."

"Explain this!" Malachite said as his fist made contact with my face.

Hold up! No he didn't just punch me!

"Malachite! That wasn't called for!"

"Oh, I'll tell you what wasn't called for. Why the fuck did you tell Makoto about us?!"

Just as I was about to answer, Malachite jabbed me in the jaw. I coughed up a little blood and declared that I could not... would not... get beat up by my love... my best friend. I called upon my power and he followed my league. Our skins glowed together looking like the moon had just come out. We stood there for a second, just staring each other down. I didn't want to hurt him, but he started this whole thing. He was being selfish... Had he not been with the both of us, this wouldn't have happened! I know it was wrong of me to be with him when he was with Makoto, but he was mine first!

I charged at him and he tried to jump out of the way. He didn't make it in time, so I tackled him to the ground. We struggled, wrestling, for about a minute. Malachite finally punched me in the chin. Yeah, he got me, but it wasn't over until the fat lady sung. I faked him out, got him with a jab, and left hook combination. He didn't know what was coming to him once he took that first swing. I love him... I really do, but he was about to get his ass kicked.

As soon as my hit was finished, I could feel his nose bone break under the impact of my punch. Pound after pound... I was really mad now. I was straddling Malachite and realized that I was beating him to a bloody-pulp. I didn't care; the hurt I felt with having to share my one and only with my ex-significant other. I wasn't sure how I felt about either one of them anymore...

After a minute of continuous beating on Malachite, I snapped back to reality and realized how much energy and power I had used. After all, I hadn't exerted that much energy since we fought with the Sailor Soldiers. I felt so tired and drained that I practically fell on Malachite.

I rolled off Malachite.

"You're not worth this energy. ...It's over, Malachite... it's over."

I staggered inside my house, leaving Malachite outside, bleeding. I didn't care about anything. I just needed to rest.

Once I got in the house, Jadeite saw me and he rushed to get ice and such for my wounds and bruises. I didn't care... everything I knew and love had just changed.


Current time... (Sunday when Malachite was supposed to be out of the house)

Well... there's only one thing left to do. Talk to Makoto... but how??
