Normal POV
Takao was at his grandpa's funeral. he stared at nothing in particular. Then he felt a hand clasped onto his shoulder.
" Takao, I'm sorry." Takao did not turned to face Max. He just stared. Everyone tried to help him, Rei , Kai and even the ever happy Max but nothing had took him out of the trance.
Max looked down glumly. Rei noticed the state his blonde friend was in and pulled him in for a hug.
"Let's go to the park for awile." Rei whispered. Max said nothing but just let himself be dragged by Rei.
Rei walked past Kai.
"Kai, You can't expect for him to recover from this fast." Kai grunted and looked away as Rei and Max walked away.
He looked at Takao just under his grey bangs. Then he saw two figures walking towards Takao. He remembered that person as he had saw pictures of them. Takao's brother, Hiro and Brooklyn his assistant.
Kai turned and walked away. He can leave Takao to his brother, after yesterday he was not sure if he wanted to see Takao at the first place.
I can't love you. Kai was sure that Takao had said that too him...

Ray leaned onto the swing's stand while Max just sat there.
It made no difference of where they were standing coz neither was speaking anyway.
The wind rushed past them and they both sighed.
Max spoke first without lifting his head to look at Rei.
"You think Takao will be ok?"
Rei shrugged sadly.
"I don't know." Max nodded and kept staring at the ground. Ray looked ahead, away from the buildings the streets, the roads, the stress.
"But you're not only sad for Takao, are you?" Max nodded again barely lifting his head at all.
"What happen Max?" Max shook his head, not wanting to answer.
"Max, tell me what's wrong." Rei left his position from the stand and wrapped his arms around Max.
He could hear Max softs sobs and could feel him shivering.
But he just stood there embracing Max.

"Takao." A voice could be heard. Takao did not look away.
Hiro went up to Takao and shook him. Brooklyn just looked at them.
"TAKAO!" Takao did nothing. Brooklyn held his hands hoping Takao would answer.
"Takao, Do you know how much it hurts to see you this way." The sentence made Takao look up but his mouth sneered in anger.
"Hurts? Hiro? Does it really hurt?"
Hiro was taken aback by Takao unusual fierce voice.
"Yes, of course it does. I'm your-" Takao lashed out in anger.
"Brother? How dare you call yourself that! " This time Hiro was getting angry.
"I am your brother, Takao. I have and always will be."
Takao put his hands up to his ears and screamed.
"Shut up! Shut up!"
"Gramps died, Takao. But he was old it was his time to-"
"Shut up!" Takao gave a punch which sent Hiro flying. (Hiro was in front of him so he knew where to hit.)
"You never cared for me brother. You don't know how much this hurts."
Hiro was still on the ground. " I know how much this hurts. He's our grandfather, Takao!"
Takao just continued as though he never heard Hiro.
"He was the one there when no one else was." Hiro gave a surprised gasp as Takao came nearer.
"No one was there for me. Not father! And certainly not YOU!" Tears threatened to fall from Takao's eyes.
Hiro just stared at his younger brother. But he slowly stood up.
"At least father came when he found out I was blind. Where were you? Hiro! WHERE WERE YOU!"
Hiro wanted to speak but Takao slapped him.
"I tell you where you were. You were halfway cross the world! Father was there for me when I was blind! But YOU hid from me when I was GAY!" Takao gave another slap. Hiro held his hand.
"I know it's hard for you to accept grandfather's death, Takao but-" Takao pulled his hand away from Hiro.
"No you don't!" Takao took a step closer as Hiro backed away.
He had never seen his brother this angered.
"Do you know how scary it is? To always see black every where you go. It was cold and lonely. Hiro! It WAS COLD!" Tears cascaded down Takao's cheeks. His hair pooled all over his face. Hiro was shock and held his brother.
Takao kept beating Hiro's chest with his small fists.
"Do you know how painful it is? To walk down the streets and feel everyone's pity!"
Hiro hugged his brother tighter.
"Do you know how much it hurts to know that your brother own doesn't love you?"
"Takao I-"
"That he couldn't accept me being GAY!"
Hiro hung his head low.
" My own brother couldn't accept me being gay. Hiro! You couldn't accept me for being me!" Takao fists banged slower and with lesser force. His legs were giving in but Hiro's arms were tightly wrapped around his arms.
"Because of your own indescisiveness of me. You couldn't accept yourself could you?" Takao pointed his head to Brooklyn's direction. Then he turned back to Hiro and punched him.
"You couldn't accept yourself! And you hurt Everyone! Hiro! You hurt me! YOu tore me apart you didn't accept Kei! You couldn't accept me loving another from my own gender!"
"Because of that Hiro! Kei died! He took his own life! You told him we weren't meant to be Hiro!"
He slid down from Hiro's arm now on his knees. Hiro couldn't hold him anymore his own shock taking over him.
"You KILLED him! You killed the person I love! Because of that Hiro, you hurt Brooklyn too." Hiro turned his attention to Brooklyn. Tears welled up in Brooklyn's beautiful gem like eyes. He was hugging himself.
"He loved you Hiro but you couldn't love him back..." Takao was soft now. His tears softly fading.
Hiro stared in front of him. His brown eyes was blank. He spoke softly.
"What do you want me to do?"
Takao got up shakily.
"I want you.." His anger boiling again the tears falling down harshly.
"To walk out of my life just like you did those months ago!" Takao ran away.
"But this time never COME BACK!"
