Oh, by the way, you all owe this chapter to my reviewers and the song Jet Black New Year by Thursday...

MENTIONS OF YAOI

Tala ran from the house, tears filling his eyes for he first time in years. Everything had finally begun to overwhelm him. He knew it would happen eventually, but why now? Why when he saw Spencer washing the cooking knives? Why when he was suicidal?...Why when Bryan had broken up with him?

He ran into an alley, and about half way through, he leaned against the wall. He looked up at the sky, at heaven, and let out the loudest scream he'd ever heard come from his, hell, anyone's, mouth. The yell was full of his pain, rage, sorrow...everything he'd felt for the past 14 (he's 17) years.

He opened his mouth once more, but this time the alley was filled with the sound of his crying. He didn't bother to sob silently, he didn't care who heard. It made no difference to him whether he looked weak or not. He'd had enough of holding back emotion.

He fell to his knees and banged his fists on the cold, rock ground a he felt rain drops begin to fall on his back.

"Hell's just going to open and swallow you if you keep that up."

"Why are you here?" barked Tala to the new voice, not looking at the older teen standing at he beginning of the alley.

"I was out for a walk. What's up with you?"

"Why do you care?"

"I can't have my captain crush his hands and fingers before the next tournament."

Tala scoffed. Of course. He was only worried about him because of the next tournament...

"And because I'm worried about you."

"Bryan!"

Time moved slow for said falcon master as his ex-boyfriend ungracefully got up from the ground and hugged him, holding on like it he was his life-support. Bryan, though hesitating at first, wrapped his arms around the redhead.

"It's all right..."

"Jet Black."

"What?"

"Your heart... It's jet black."

"Why?"

"The way your holding me...It's the same way you held be when we were going out...You're teasing me; showing off what I used to have, have no longer, and would die for."

Bryan's eyes widened at first before closing and he lowered his head to rest it on Tala's shoulder.

"I said that...in anger. It's hard to explain...I broke up with you because I needed to clear my head. Tala, I want you back. I want to hold you like this, but in a way that it means more. The way it used to be, but even more than that. Tala, I love you."

"Bryan," Tala lifted the lilac haired boy's head from his shoulder and looked into his light orbs.

"I love you too."

thnku4thevenom: Is that the end...or should I add another chapter. (sigh) I suck at endings...
