Bffimagine: LAZY today.

Ban: Shouldn't you be at school?

Bffimagine: I already went. Look at the time. But what about YOU? You guys are only teenagers anyway.

Ginji: She has a point…

Ban: Don't agree with her!

Ginji: puppy eyes

Ban: Sigh… If you weren't so cute, I'd be mad at you.

Ginji: Hey! I said you were hot! You have to do the same for me!

Ban: NO WAY!

Ginji: Puppy eyes

Ban: Sigh Fine. You're hot.

Bffimagine: He said it! Not me!

Himiko took a deep breath and explained, "When Ban over-uses the Evil Eye, he goes into a coma. When he wakes up, he's temporarily blind for about six months. I've never seen it happen, but Ban told me about it once."

Ginji looked at the ground, then glanced at Ban. 'Why did you sacrifice your sight for me?'

"So… why did he use the Jagan four times today? He's smart enough to know his limits," Himiko almost snorted at the last comment.

"He did it," Ginji whispered guiltily, "To save me."

Flashback

"RUN GINJI!" Ban shouted to his blonde companion.

Ginji hesitated barely a moment then followed Ban's instructions to run.

Then Ban laughed.

"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?" The scary man demanded.

Ban looked him straight in the eye, and Ginji paled. 'The Evil Eye… Ban-chan… don't… I love you too much to let you go like this…' Ginji was almost brought to tears by his thoughts.

Once the Yakuza was off in dreamland Ban turned to Ginji.

'Don't have such a sad face… I hate to see you sad… I love you Ginji. You have to know that before I go blind…' Ban thought.

The former client writhed in his illusory pain, pupils rolling into the back of his head.

Then he woke up.

"Have a good dream?" Ban asked with a smile.

"B-But…"

"But I was dead, right?"

The man nodded.

"You look like your in pain sir," Ginji grinned widely.

The Yakuza paled.

Ban sent a glance Ginji's way. 'Just play along…'

"I only gave you about 20, 000 volts. You shouldn't feel sick or anything."

Ban and Ginji's former client head drooped and lolled limply to one side.

"We're done now Ginji," Ban whispered and smiled weakly, "We won."

"But Ban-chan! You used your eye FOUR times today? What's gonna happen?" Ginji's carefree smile was replaced by the grimace of worry.

'I feel it… now is the time…' Ban's mind told him.

"Just listen Ginji. I… I love you…" Ban lost consciousness and fell into Ginji's arms.

"BAN-CHAN!" Ginji yelled, as if he thought that if he was loud enough he could wake Ban up.

'You don't know how long I've waited to hear that…'

"I love you," Ginji whispered into Ban's ear, hugging his fallen partner.

"So that's how the invincible Ban Mido went down for the count huh?" Himiko mused softly.

She glanced at Ginji's face and frowned.

"Ginji, Ban's going to be fine. He should wake up in a few weeks and he'll be able to see in six, maybe seven months. He'll be okay." Himiko nodded in Ginji's direction, trying to make him feel better.

"Thanks Himiko-san. I think you should go home now and stop worrying about me and Ban. We'll be fine, just like you said." A fake smile twitched at the edges of Ginji's mouth.

"Alright."

Himiko closed the door behind her and leaned toward the wood. She heard Ginji's muffled sobs and sighed.

'I hope they'll be okay…'

bffimagine: MUAHAHAHAHA!
