Ugh...have to go back to school tomorrow...that sucks. Oh well, I suppose it's for the best, and I get to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail in english class, so yay! Heh, that movie is the best. If you haven't seen ti, I would highly recommend going out and getting it...now. Believe me, it'll change your view on rabbits forever. Unless you see them as vicious, man-eating dragons already...Heh, nevermind, enjoy!

"Justin?" Callia asked, confused by the shocked look on Kanone's face, "Who's Justin?" Obvoiusly, whoever he was, he meant a lot to Kanone.

"You're here." Kanone said, still ont believing it, "You're...alive."

The blue eys boy smirked at this, "Really, did you think I would go down that easily? Kiyotaka's just a big softie, really."

The mention of his brother's name brought Ayumu to attention, "Of course, now I remember him. He was the boy that Kiyotaka took away from Kanone. He was just like Eyes is now to Kanone." Then, Ayumu shook his head, "No, I think he meant a lot more to Kanone than Eyes could." and it was true. While Eyes was Kanone's world now, Justin had shown Kanone so much more. He was the first one Kanone ever loved, and he had taught Kanone how to love. Kanone had been devestated when Kiyotaka took Justin away, and actually attempted suicide once.

Ayumu sighed, his brother had no idea about that. Ayumu had actually been the one to find Kanone, and finally convinced him that slitting his wrists wasn't a good idea. Kanone had of course asked Ayumu not to say anything about it to anyone, and thier secret had been kept from everyone (even Eyes) to this day. Justin looked past Kanone to the small group, "Hey, Ayumu." he said, raising a hand, "Long time, no see." Ayumu smiled back, but said nothing. Then, Justin frowned, "Wait, if you're here does that mean Kiyotaka's here, too?"

"Why, yes, it does." said the man himself, finally joining the others, "Justin, I'm suprised to see that you're still around."

Justin glared at the older man, "Yeah, I am. No thanks to you." he said, then turned back to Kanone, "So, what brings you around here?" he asked, smiling.

Kanone was still in utter shock of seeing his first love at Chase's, and smiling nonetheless. He shook it off, though, "I need to speak to Chase." he said, "Now."

Justin frowned for a second, "I...don't think he's here." he said, then turned around to face the inside of the house, "Chase?" he called, and waited for an answer. Hearing none, he shook his head, "Nope, not here. Actually, I thought he said he was going over to your place..." he trailed off, not sure if he'd heard the other man right.

"He did," Kanone confirmed, "but he left before I got there, and I need to talk to him."

Justin shrugged, "I guess you can wait for him if you want to. Besides, it would be great to catch up. It's been a while." he said, a faint smile on his lips.

Kanone shook his head, "You have no idea." he whispered, "I need to find Chase now, though."

Justin bit his lip in thought, "Well..." All of a sudden, the phone rang, "Damn phone. Why don't you all come in?" Kanone was about to object, but Justin got a hurt look on his face, "It'll only take a muinute, and it might be Chase, who knows?" At hearing this, Kanone agreed, and Justin wondered what exactly was so important that Kanone couldn't spend a ew minutes to talk with him.

It had been forever since they last saw each other, and Justin knew that Kanone missed him just as much as he missed the older one. So what was so extremely urgent that could keep Kanone from talking to him? Whatever it was, Justin wasn't sure he woud like it. Usually things this urgent weren't good. If it was even a thing, perhaps it was a person. Justin shook his head of that thought, Kanone was nearly suicidal when he was taken by Kiyotaka, he couldn't have possibly gotten over him just like that, could he?

Kanone sighed as he sat down in the all too familiar living room. After a moment of silence, Callia spoke, "Who exactly is that boy, Kanone?"

The golden-eyes boy glanced up with the saddest eyes she had ever seen on him, full of regret and pain, "He was my first boyfriend." Kanone explained, "He was also the first person I ever fell in love with, and the only one other than Eyes."

"And that's putting it mildly." Kiyotaka said, no sarcasm or teasing in his voice, "Kanone was near obssessed with the boy."

Kanone shot a glare at Kiyotaka, "You keep your mouth shut about him, you hear me? Just because you broke us up does not mean that you have the right to talk about how you think I felt for him."

The room fell into a sort of shocked silence after this outburst, it was very rare for Kanone to be this angry with someone, and Callia wondered exactly what happened between Kanone and Justin. Now, though, wasn't the time to ask, so she stayed silent. Justin entered the living room, and hesitated at the tension he felt. It looked like Kiyotaka had made some sort of comment, which pissed Kanone off, and Justin was almost afraid that the latter was going to go after the former. He cleared his throat and every eye in the room turned on him, "Um...that was Jack." he said, unsusre of who exactly Jack was, but saw that Kanone recognized the name, "He said that he just got to your house, but he'd be here in a little bit."

Kanone sighed, "I suppose we should wait for him then." he looked up to Justin expecting eyes, and nodded, "If you'll all excuse me for a few minutes." he said, then followed Justin to a room far away from prying ears. The room just turned out to be Justin's, and Kanone looked around, "I'm very suprised Chase lets you sleep inside, and that you called for him by his first name." Kanone observed, wondering if Chase really was taking Eyes' advice. If so, then why would he take the younger one?

Justin shrugged, "He's been acting a lot different these past couple of days." he explained, "He's been feeding us decent food, letting us sleep inside, he's stopped beating us for no good reason, though sometimes he still goes off on someone, but it's a lot better than how it used to be. I don't know what made him change so suddenly, but I'm thanking the heavens for whatever it is right about now."

"Eyes." Kanone whispered, then looked up to Justin, "How long have you been here?" he asked.

Justin bit his lip in thought, "Let's see, Kiyotaka brought me here not even a year after he took me. So, I guess it's been about 6 years."

Kanone's eyes widened, "6 years?" he repeated, "I'm sorry." he said, looking down, "I never meant for any of this to happen to you."

Kanone had taken a seat on Justin's bed, and now Justin joined him. He grasped Kanone's chin gently, and turned his head to face the bonde-haired boy, "Don't you dare apologize for that." he said, "You couldn't have possibly known how Kiyotaka would react. If you're going to blame anyone, blame him, but not yourself."

Kanone smiled faintly, then nodded, "So, you probably saw him around here, then." he said, getting back on track.

"Who?" Justin asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Eyes." Kanone repeated, "He's the reason that Chase has changed so much. He used to live here before I found him. He has the softest silver hair, and his skin looks like porcelain," he said, smiing as a picture of his current lover popped into his head, "and he's got these beautiful, vibrant blue eyes that just look right through you."

Justin raised an eyebrow, and his hand fell from Kanone's chin, "New boyfriend, I take it? he asked, not at all pleased with how Kanone was talking about this boy. He remembered him all right. He remembered that he was the one that Chase repeatedly absued and raped for the fun of it. He remembered that the boy never cried once, no matter what he went through, and he most definitely remembered those eyes. He'd never thought the kid had a name, but then again, he never said one word to him, so how would he?

Actually, from what Justin remembered, he'd never even heard the boy talk, or have anyone talk to him. Other than Chase, that is, but that was hardly considered talking. Just the older man barking orders, and the younger one following them, apologizing endlessly. Justin turned his attention back to Kanone, who was nodding, "The only one I've had since you." he told Justin, "The only one other than you." he corrected himself.

Justin nodded, then asked the question he wanted to the least, but knew that it had to be asked, "Do you love him?" Ever since he and Kanone had been split up, Justin had cut himself off from loving anyone. He didn't want to be hurt like that again, and he didn't want anyone other than Kanone. He knew that no matter how much he told himself he could love someone else, the truth was, he didn't want to. He only wanted Kanone, and knew he couldn't be happy with anyone other than the boy next to him.

Kanone sighed, he had really hoped that Eyes wouldn't come up at all, he didn't want to hurt Justin, not like that. Of course, seeing as how Eyes was the reason he was here, it would be pretty difficult not to talk about him. More than that, though, he hated what he was about to say, "Yes, I do, but I could never love him as much as I loved you." he said, looking up and into Justin's pale blue eyes. So much different from Eyes' vibrant, kind of eery gaze, but still just as captivating, "You were the first boy I ever loved, and nothing will ever change that." Kanone told him, "I wouldn't want to change that." he added.

Justin nodded, "You do love him, though?" he asked, just to clarify.

Kanone nodded, "I never thought it would be possible to love anyone after you were gone, so I wasn't afraid to open myself up to everyone. Then he came along, though, and proved me wrong in so many ways. Still, as much as he's done for me, and as much as he's shown me, you'll still always be my soulmate."

Justin smiled, and hugged Kanone tightly, "I'm glad you haven't forgotten about me." he whispered.

Kanone smiled, "Not on my life." he whispered back. He knew the saying went 'not on your life', but when he really thought about it, he wouldn't bet Justin's life for the world.

Justin knew this was Kanone's way of thinking as well, and smiled into the hug, "I missed you." he said, unwillingly pulling away from the hug.

Kanone seemed disappointed at the loss of contact as well, but smiled nonetheless, "I would say missing you is an understatement." Kanone told him, running a hand through his hair. Their eyes locked, and Kanone's hand unconsciously pulled Justin's face closer to his. Not at all objecting to the action, Justin went along willingly, never breaking eye contact, and soon they were millimeters apart.

Justin could feel Kanone's breath on his lips, and finally gave into temptation. He closed the miniscule gap in between thier lips, and pressed the flesh together in a heated kiss. Kanone went right along with it, and wrapped his arms around Justin's waist , bringing him closer. In turn, Justin brought his arms around Kanone's neck. Their tongues wrestled for dominance, and it was no suprise to either of the boys when Kanone claimed victory. He massaged Justin's tongue with his own, baiting the younger one into a rematach. Justin smirked into the kiss, and smiply enjoyed the feeling of being in Kanone's arms again.

After what seemed like only seconds, their kiss broke too soon due to a need for air. Gasping for the much needed oxygen, Justin grinned at Kanone, "You have no idea how long I've been wanting to do that again."

Kanone smirked, "Actually, I think I have an idea. I've been waiting just as long, you know."

Justin tried to smile, but it was unsuccessful, "You've had Eyes, though." he pointed out.

Kanone frowned, and brought Justin's face up to his, "Don't think for one second that means I haven't thought about you." Kanone told him, deadly serious, "You're on my mind all the time."

Justin smiled and nodded, convinced that Kanone was telling the truth. After all, he'd never lied to him before today. Before their conversation could go any further, though, there was a knock on the door. Justin sighed, "That's probably your friend."

Kanone nodded, and stood up, with Justin following suit. Before they left the room, though, Kanone pulled Justin close, "I still love you, you know that, right?"

Justin smiled, "I was hoping you'd say that." he replied, and sighed as Kanone brought their lips together once more in a searing kiss that Justin seemed addicted to by now. He'd just been going through 6 years of withdraw, but now he had Kanone back. He didn't know how involved Kanone and this other boy were, or how much the younger one loved Kanone, but he did know one thing. There was no way Eyes was getting his Kanone.

Ooh, Justin's a little possessive, isn't he? Well, if you had Kanone you'd be possessive, too. I should know, he's mine! That's right, Justin and Eyes can both back off, Kanone's mine! You ever notice how people only ever pair Kanone with Eyes? I mean, there are plenty of Eyes pairings with other people, but Kanone is pretty much exclusively Eyes. That's strange...Well, I've, of course, put him with Ayumu and Kousuke, but that's just because I'm obligated to as the queen of yaoi. Well, the queen of spiral yaoi, anyway. you can't deny it! Oh, review!
