Hey, I know I uploaded this already, but I caught a few of my mistakes and someone pointed one out to me (Thank you Moi Dix Mois!) So now it is more understandable. Hope you like this chapter!

Love,

Victoria Faust

Yoh sat up in his bed. He looked, panicking, around his room. Then, remembering what had happened before, he relaxed. Hesitantly, he touched his hand to the top of his head. He felt a surge of pain rush through his body, freezing up his every limb.

Suddenly, all at the same time, he was angry, sad, hurt, and worried. All of his feelings burst out at the same time in hot, angry tears. The first thought that crossed his mind was about Faust.

Where is he? Shouldn't he be here by my side? Does he care?

Yoh looked, tears still flowing, at the clock. It blinked "12:00 a.m.". He recalled Faust saying something about Yoh being able to walk at "11:30 p.m.". He also remembered Faust saying that he didn't want Yoh walking at all. Yoh considered this. He could listen to Faust and stay here or…he could disobey Faust and run the risked of being whopped on the head by Anna.

I'll just go check on him…

Yoh crept silently down the hall, ignoring his searing headache. But, if Anna heard or saw him, the headache would be twenty times worse.

Opening Faust's door as quietly as possible, he looked inside. He didn't see Faust anywhere. Yoh stepped in. He heard soft, rhythmic breathing coming from his left. Looking to the side he saw Faust slumped against the wall, asleep.

Yoh didn't know what to do. If he woke Faust up, Faust might get angry and Yoh didn't want Faust to get angry at him again. But...on the other hand, that position can't be comfortable.

Yoh knelt down beside Faust and looked at him. He was sleeping so peacefully. Yoh put his head on Faust's lap and shut his eyes.

Almost as soon as his head was rested on Faust's lap, Yoh had drifted into a dreamy state. So comforted and relaxed. His mind was so at ease, that his headache had gone.

Faust opened his eyes and looked around. He laughed. He had slept off and on for almost three years, but never a whole night, and to think that he had fallen asleep on the floor of all places. He had almost forgotten sleep. It was so relaxing; all of your cares were gone. Faust tried to shift his legs to a more comfortable position, but he couldn't. He took a sharp breath.

Oh hell, I'm paralyzed!

He tried to shift again; it was then that he realized that there was something on him. Faust let out the breath he had unknowingly been holding. He wasn't paralyzed, but there was something on him. He just couldn't tell what it was, it being pitch black inside his room.

What the hell, we don't own a dog. We don't have anything that could lie on your lap…

He paused. There was one thing that could lie on Faust's lap in this house. Yoh. Faust put his hand down. His hand was resting on a head. He smiled gently.

Yoh just doesn't know how to listen…

Faust just stopped. It was probably around two in the morning or something like that.

Yoh really should be in bed. With an injury like that…he needs sleep.

He gently picked Yoh up and took him back to his room. Yoh's eyes slowly opened.

"W-what..?" Yoh stuttered, sleepily.

"Shh…you need sleep." Faust answered, sadness coating his voice.

He set Yoh down in his bed and covered him up. Faust looked at him for a moment and then turned to walk away.

"Where are you going?" Yoh said, quietly.

"As much as I want to mein liebe… I can't stay." Faust whispered into the brunette's ear.

"Why?" Yoh asked.

"Because…I can't have you. You are off limits to me. Anna is your fiancée, so I….just can't." Faust whispered, walking away.

Damn! Don't let the boy see you cry!

"No. I'm not off limits! I chose who I am off limits to! Not Anna or Manta or anyone else!" Yoh said, his voice rising.

Faust felt the tears. They were threatening to fall and take his sanity with them.

"N-no, you can't do anything, Anna will have a fit." Faust said, voice shaking.

"Faust…are you crying?" Yoh asked.

"N-no…good night, Yoh. I'll see you in the morning." Faust said, trying to escape as quickly as possible.

"But, Faust! I really lo-…"

Slap!

Anna had slapped Faust as hard as she possibly could, leaving a red mark that was rapidly turning purple.

"FAUST!" Anna stood in the doorway, fuming.

Damn. She found me.

"Weren't YOU the one who said he needed REST! Just how does making out with my fiancée qualify as REST?" Anna yelled, face turning bright red. Yoh opened his mouth to protest, but Faust shushed him.

"I was just on my way out, so don't burst a blood vessel." Faust said coolly.

Anna watched Faust walk back down the hall and shut his door. Then she turned back to Yoh.

Uh-oh…my turn.

"YOH! Just what were you doing?" Anna said inching toward Yoh.

"Trying to sleep. Good night." He said, turning over.

"You were obviously doing SOMETHING!" Anna protested.

"You know what? Whatever, Anna. I'll explain in the morning, I'm tired and I need to think." Yoh said.

Anna let out a frustrated moan and walked out the door.

Faust's words ran through Yoh's head over and over.

"You are off limits to me…I can't have you."

A tear fell down onto Yoh's pillow.

The sound in his voice. Such pain. Why is it always innocent hearts that are broken? It's not…fair.

Yoh cried himself to sleep, saddened by the fact that it is always the innocent that pay.
