"Faust! What are you doing here?" Eliza asked, running up to him.
"I was just about to ask you the same thing . . . " Faust said, grimly.
Yoh and Lyserg looked on from behind Faust.
"Wow. I would never have guessed that they were married." Lyserg whispered to Yoh.
Yoh nodded. To a stranger's eye, they would seem like mere acquaintances.
"Well . . . " Eliza smiled, "I am here because I missed this city!"
"Really? I'm here with . . . " Faust stopped, seeing the hurt in Eliza's eyes.
"Yes . . . how is Yoh anyway?" Eliza asked.
"Oh, he's fine . . . he slept the whole way here!" Faust said.
They both laughed awkwardly. Yoh frowned.
They were married for God's sake! They should be able to at least talk to each other!
"Well . . . I'm going to be late . . . I'm going to find somewhere to stay . . . " Eliza said, looking at the floor.
"Oh, right . . . " Faust said.
"Well, if you need me, I'll be able to find you, don't worry!" Eliza said.
Eliza turned and walked away, stopping at the door to smile and wave. Faust waved back and turned to Yoh, a pained look on his face.
"Okay, let's go." Faust said, walking toward the door.
"Wait! Lyserg, where are you going to go?" Yoh said.
Faust turned back around.
"I don't know . . . " Lyserg said, grinning.
"Well . . . Lyserg . . . I'll buy you a room at the hotel we're staying at. Okay?" Faust said, wondering if that was the right decision.
Lyserg nodded, happily and skipped toward the door. He held it open for Faust and Yoh, hoping he would earn points with Faust.
Faust muttered a half hearted "Thanks" and kept walking.
He waved down a taxi and motioned for Lyserg and Yoh to get in. Lyserg dove into the taxi, sitting near the window. Yoh calmly stepped in and Faust followed afterwards. Yoh looked at Faust as he began talking to the taxi driver in fluent German.
"Where are we going?" Yoh asked, tugging on Faust's jacket.
"The Hotel Concorde . . . I think that's what it's called . . . " Faust said, lost in thought.
Yoh looked at Lyserg, who was humming happily.
Yoh scowled. After a moment, he was shocked by his own actions. Was he jealous that Lyserg was there? Yoh thought about it, Lyserg was almost as excited as Yoh was before the flight. It made Yoh angry. Where did his happiness go?
Faust opened the taxi door and pulled on Yoh's hand.
"Ready?" Faust asked.
Yoh nodded and stepped out. As soon as Yoh's feet touched the ground, Faust pulled Yoh close to his chestin one smooth motion. He leaned close to Yoh's ear.
"I love you."
Yoh could feel Faust smiling. Suddenly, his happiness came back.
Faust quickly stepped back and paid the taxi driver. He looked back at Yoh who had a silly grin on his face. He laughed. At least Yoh's mood was better.
I feel better now!
Yoh felt his stomach do somersaults. He didn't care about Lyserg anymore, Faust had just said the three words that made Yoh shake. He skipped to the door and swung it open. He stared in awe at the inside of the hotel.
"It's so . . . BIG!" Yoh exclaimed.
Faust laughed and walked to the concierge desk. Yoh and Lyserg sat on a couch, waiting for Faust to give them instructions. Faust came back and handed Lyserg a room card. Lyserg looked at it and blinked.
"What's this?" Lyserg asked.
"It's a key to get into your room." Faust said.
Idiot.
Lyserg breathed in sharply and ran to the elevator. Faust quickly ran after him, Yoh following.
Damn! It's going to be MY fault if Lyserg breaks something! I'm just going to take him to his room and make him go to bed!
Lyserg hopped into the elevator, closely followed by Faust and Yoh. As soon as the doors closed, Lyserg pressed all of the buttons on the elevator panel. Faust glared at Lyserg.
"Idiot. We're on the top floor!" Faust said.
Lyserg nodded.
"I like riding in elevators . . . "
Faust sighed and hit his head against the wall of the elevator. Yoh blamed it on Lyserg. It was his fault that Faust was getting so irritated. But, Lyserg was Yoh's friend, so Yoh decided to be tolerant.
After waiting in the elevator for more than ten minutes, they finally got to their floor. Somehow, Faust had managed to get their rooms next to each other. Lyserg stuck the card into the slot and leapt into his room.
"See ya later!" Lyserg said as he slammed the door.
Faust took the key card to his room and opened the door. He held the door open for Yoh and Yoh smiled.
"Thanks! You're so wonderful!" Yoh said, walking in the room and jumping on the bed.
Faust shut the door and looked at the clock.
"Whoa! It's time for you to go to bed!" Faust said, looking around the room.
Faust paused. There seemed to be a problem. A very big problem.
"Er . . . Yoh."
Yoh looked at him.
"There's only one bed."
Yoh's eyes became wide and his mouth dropped open. Faust nodded.
"I can sleep on the floor . . . " Faust said.
"Nonononono! You can't do that! It will be uncomfortable." Yoh protested.
"What are you saying? You want to sleep on the floor?"
"No." Yoh said, obviously hinting at something.
"Are you saying that we share the bed then?" Faust asked.
Yoh nodded. Faust just looked at Yoh.
Is that REALLY a good idea? I don't think it is . . . Nope, definitely NOT a good idea . . .
"Er . . . " Faust blushed.
Suddenly, he felt very uncomfortable. Yoh smiled.
"It's just for tonight! Tomorrow, we can get a different room, okay?" Yoh said.
After thinking about it for a long time, Faust finally said yes. Yoh laughed and lay on the top of the bed. Faust couldn't help but think about how much he was going to regret this. Faust slid into the bed and scooted as far away from Yoh as he possible could. Yoh looked at him.
"You're going to fall off! Come a little closer!" Yoh said, holding onto Faust's arm.
"Damnit, no." Faust said, turning his head away.
Yoh decided that if Faust wouldn't come to him, he would go to Faust. Not that he minded.
Yoh moved right next to Faust and lay on his pillow.
Damn, he's so close that I can feel him breathe . . .
Faust tried desperately to keep his hands to himself. But it was so damn hard! With Yoh being right there . . . it was more than he could bear.
"Y-Yoh?" Faust asked, shakily.
"Hmm?" Yoh asked, snuggling closer to Faust's chest.
Faust closed his eyes tightly.
Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn . . .
"I need to go . . . get something!" Faust said, jumping out of bed and walking to the door.
He opened the door and turned back to Yoh. Yoh looked extremely displeased. Faust smiled. He might as well give Yoh something.
"Come over here and kiss me."
Yoh's eyes lit up as he ran over to Faust and kissed him passionately. Faust held Yoh affectionately as all of his cares just floated out the open door. He didn't mind if they stayed here, in this moment, forever.
Faust heard a door open out in the halland he jerked away from Yoh. He looked at Yoh, a sad expression on his face.
"God, I'm sorry. When I come back, okay?" Faust said.
We always have to hide.
Yoh nodded, sat on the bed, and turned on the television. Faust turned and walked out the door. He shut it and walked quietly by Lyserg's room. Maybe not quietly enough.
"Faust!" Lyserg said, swinging open the door.
Faust cursed under his breath and looked at Lyserg.
"Hello . . . "
Lyserg suddenly leapt forward and hugged Faust. Faust jumped in shock.
God, he needs to take a hint.
"I love you! I love you!" Lyserg cried.
"Are you crying?" Faust asked, pulling Lyserg away from his chest.
He held Lyserg's shoulders and looked straight at him. It made Lyserg melt.
"Were you crying?" Faust asked.
Lyserg hung his head and cried. Faust wanted to make him feel better, but he didn't know how. Anything he did seemed to set Lyserg off on a "kiss-Faust" spree.
Lyserg hung his arms around Faust's neck and cried into his shoulder. Faust gently pulled him away.
"Lyserg. This needs to stop!" Faust said.
"No! I can't stop . . . " Lyserg said, looking up, "I just can't!"
His eyes . . .
"No! You don't understand! I love Yoh! I'm with Yoh! I can't let you keep doing this to yourself, it's hurting you, can't you tell?" Faust said, trying to let Lyserg down slowly.
"I can't stop loving you! You're asking me to do something that I can't do! Why? Why can't you love me the way I love you?" Lyserg cried, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Faust held Lyserg's head and looked at him in the eyes.
"I'm not trying to hurt you . . . but . . . I don't love you."
Lyserg felt like his heart had been ripped out of his chest and shredded into a million pieces. He wanted Faust to love him! He wanted it more than anything else. He didn't want to believe that the one that he loved with all of his being had just thrown his heart to the floor.
Lyserg held on tightly to Faust's jacket and pulled.
"NO!" Lyserg yelled.
Faust felt terrible. He had just crushed someone's heart. And by the looks of it, he had done a good job.
"Lyserg! Please try and understand . . . "
"I don't want to understand! I just want you to love me!"
Faust took a breath as if he was going to say something.
"No! I don't want to listen! You're going to regret doing this! You're going to wake up tomorrow and realize that you really do love me and that you've made a huge mistake! I'll make you regret this!" With that, Lyserg ran down the hall and disappeared into the elevator.
"There I go, hurting someone again. Damn." Faust said to himself, walking back to his room.
He opened the door and sat on the bed, his head in his hands. Yoh touched his back.
"Everything okay?"
"Yea, everything is perfect. Now . . . where were we?" Faust asked, grabbing Yoh's hands and pulling him close.
As Faust held Yoh, he kept thinking about Lyserg. A poor broken soul, wandering around, searching for something that couldn't be found. Faust hoped that Lyserg wasn't serious about revenge. Because if he was, Faust wasn't sure if he would be strong enough to protect Yoh.
