Chapter2) Should have told you

Rowen sighed walking down the stairs. This will be the most interesting conversation of my life. He mused seeing Kento in the kitchen, like always, enjoying a sandwich of some sort. Surprisingly Sai wasn't there but it gave Rowen the chance he needed. "Kento." Rowen took a seat at the table across from Kento. "Is Sai gay?" Rowen asked. Kento looked like he was going to choke on his food, which was quite amusing.

"What?… Why are you asking me?" Kento shot back. "Keep your voice down… I figured he'd tell you something like that." Rowen shrugged.
"Yeah, but why do you want to know?" Kento eyed Rowen. It would make a pretty interesting picture if Rowen were gay too.
"Just curious." Rowen said hoping to leave it at that.
"Bull shit. If you were just curious than you would have asked Sai… You like him?" Rowen shook his head waving his hands in the air gesturing no.
"No. I'm…"
"Who asked you to do this?" Kento sprung out of his chair and grabbed Rowen in a headlock planning on getting answers. "I'll let you go when you tell me."
"I can't I promised." Rowen gasped trying to get away. "Alright, I'll tell now let go!" Rowen gave up fighting his big friend. "Sage did… You better not say anything or he'll kill me!" Rowen hissed. Kento let him go a little shocked by what was said.
"Sage! The Sage that's dated every girl on the planet Sage! Sage is gay!" Kento yelled.
"Yes now just tell me if Sai likes men or not." Rowen hushed him.
"Yeah he does." Kento nodded and Rowen smiled wide he had to tell Sage this.

(Mean While In Sage's room)

Sage sighed his worst nightmare was a possible reality. Damn Rowen, and his stupid bet, he was positive rejections from Sai would kill him. Sage flipped through the pages of his journal stopping on one of the pages he had used to write about the time Sai and him were locked up in the dungeon.

(Flash back)

Sage was roughly pushed into the dungeon the door slammed shut behind him. There was little light but Sage could tell some one else was here than and they had called out. Sage's head felt fuzzy and he couldn't tell who was in here and if he knew them. Sage groaned and leaned back against the stone cold wall. "Hello?" The tenor voice called out again. Sage looked around trying to pin point the voice.
"Sai?" Sage looked around he was positive that Sai was in here or he was hearing things.
"Sage? They got you too? How? I don't understand." Sai rambled on.
"They won't stop till they have all of us here." Sage finally spotted Sai over in the corner on the other side of the cell. Sage moved over to where the littler warrior was sitting. Sai looked up at him, somewhat happy that he was no longer alone but sad that Sage had been captured.
"Sage? What are you going to do when the fighting done?" Sai asked hugging his knees to his chest and rested his chin on his knees.
"I don't know finish school and go to college." Sage answered. Sage couldn't help but feel anxious around Sai. He couldn't shake the feeling. Every time he was with Sai he wanted to touch him and caress him, but that was wrong wasn't it? Sage jumped when Sai's hand landed on Sage's shoulder.
"Are you alright? You were ignoring me." Sai said looking concerned.
"I'm fine." Sage got up to move but froze when Sai's hand latched on to his.
"Please stay over here with me. I'll be quiet if I'm bugging you. I just don't want to be alone." Sai's voice was much quieter than normal by the time he finished. Sage swallowed hard and sat back down, he couldn't upset Sai. "Thank you." He muttered looking back down at the floor. For a little the two of them just talked about nonsense and about them themselves in a truth or truth sort of way. Finally Sai had fallen asleep and gave Sage time to think, and calm his heart beat or so he thought. Sage stiffed when Sai fell over on to him his head resting on his shoulder and his hand had manage to intertwine with Sage's. Sage felt the heat rising to his face. Why do I feel this way when he's touching me or close to me?… It's never like this when I'm with a girl… I can't stop thinking about him and now that we're alone… Oh god what am I thinking? Sage glanced at Sai again images that he wanted to stop and yet wanted to see flooded his mind. I love him.. I do I love him. Sage shuttered, he could tell Sai when he woke up but what if Sai didn't feel the same or didn't even like men? But it's the same with girls… I wish I knew how he feels. Sage brushed Sai's unruly bangs away from his face memorizing every little detail. It was most likely the last time Sai would be so close to him. Sage stiffed and pulled his hand away as Sai began to stir. For a minute or two Sai mumbled in his sleep beads of sweat formed on his brow, but Sage didn't really have any idea on what to do. Sage began to smooth out Sai's hair and hushed him even though he was a sleep. It wasn't long before Sai had bolted to an upright sitting position and was apologizing.
"It's all right." Sage said. "You seemed like you were having a nightmare." Sage said, avoiding Sai's gaze. Sai nodded and looked down at his hand which was entangled with Sage's.
"Oh I'm sorry. I must have…" Sai pulled his hand way from Sage's; his voice was drowned out by Sage's own thoughts of Sai's reaction. "Sage what are you thinking about."
"What!" Sage asked startled.
"What are you thinking about?" Sai repeated his question.
"I…I…" Sage swallowed hard, part of him wanted to tell Sai but he couldn't. "I was just worried about you. You seemed a bit warm."

(Present)

Sage shut the book with a sigh as some one knocked on the door. Sage slid the book under his pillow. "Come in." Sage called. Rowen opened the door a wide grin lined his face. "What do you want?" Sage glanced at Rowen.
"You better keep up your end of the deal now." Rowen grinned, but Sage just stared at him.
"Oh come on Sage. The deal, I ask about Sai then you tell him. And he is gay." Sage gulped. He was relieved in a way to know that he had a chance with Sai but on the other hand it was his worst nightmare.
"All right I'll tell him."
"Today!"
"Fine I'll tell him today." Sage left the room, a bit annoyed with Rowen. When he made the deal, he didn't actually really think that Rowen would do it. Sage started to walk down stairs when Sai opened the front door.
"I'm home." He called arms full with grocery bags. His was happier then usual and much more giddy. Sage walked down the stair, Kento was already taking bags from Sai. Ryo and Rowen also came down to see the commotion.
"Hey Sai where do I put these?" A man asked following Sai in. He was probably Rowen's height with black hair with red tips. His eyes were deep brown and he was far too close to Sai for Sage's taste.
"I'll take them." Sai smiled taking the bags and heading into the kitchen.
"Hey Sai who this?" Ryo asked. Sai came out of the kitchen and walked over to the man.
"This is Paul my boyfriend. He'll be spending the night." Sai smiled lacing hands with Paul. Sage froze, masking every feeling but shock which was shared by every one, well except for Kento who was choking on a potato chip. Sage felt a deep pain worst than anything he'd ever felt, he looked away from Sai unable to look at him.
"That great." Ryo said breaking the silence. Kento and Rowen joined in welcoming the visitor but both a bit worried about Sage.
"Sage are you alright?" Sai asked catching Sage's eyes.
"Yeah I'm fine, and hello to you Paul." Sage said than slipped back up stairs but not before seeing Sai and Paul exchange a kiss. Once inside his room he shut the door listening to them laugh down stairs. A tear slipped down his face everything had shattered right before him. He slid down on to the floor hugging his knees to his chest and resting his forehead on them. He couldn't tell Sai now. Why hadn't I told him sooner? Now I'll never get a chance with him……I Should have told him all those years ago, then maybe I could have brought him that happiness…I could have been the one able to kiss him. Sage let the tears spill from his eyes as Sai's voice saying that awful sentence played in his head.
