Naofumi broke up with L'Arc. Neither of them is happy about it.

They're subjected to making up when a curse affects Naofumi, making him more tired than usual as it drains his energy, his life force even. L'Arc unintentionally cursed him.

L'Arc asks him, "Why?" while putting on a scary face.

Naofumi shudders, trembling under the pressure before finally giving him an answer, "Because I'm scared, OK?!"

L'Arc's shocked speechless as Naofumi continues to rant.

"We have no idea what will happen after the Waves are over…if I even get a choice of going home or being with you! If we…are torn apart… I don't think I can stand it…" He starts crying, tears rolling down his cheeks, "Plus, you're a freaking King! You have a lot more to worry about than me… Work, getting married, having an heir…! You won't have time for me… I can't…" He sadly smiles, "You're better off without me."

L'Arc absorbs this information, realizing that Naofumi's just as heartbroken as he is. He pulls Naofumi into a hug, just holding him as Naofumi sniffles and sobs, leaning into his warmth. L'Arc rubs circles into Naofumi's back, calming him down.

L'Arc asks, "Can we…try again?"

"Hm…?"

L'Arc smiles, "Can we try being together again?"

Naofumi stares at him, still scared, "But…"

L'Arc knows what he's going to say, "We don't know for sure… and it's pointless to worry about it right now."

He cups Naofumi's cheek, "I just want to be with you for as long as possible. We'll burn the memories of each other into our souls…so can we please try one more time?"

Naofumi starts crying again, hugging him tight, "Un!"

L'Arc smiles as he brushes the tears away, "Don't cry Nao…" before he kisses him.

Naofumi smiles into the kiss…and stopped crying.
