I am back from MyEscape and I am ready for the next chapter for this story for Aiball Week! I will be using two of the prompts. For Past, Ai will be looking at some photos of Yusaku when he was a child before the Lost Incident happened, and for Future, Ai will probably get worried about the future if the simulation comes true and he loses Yusaku for good. So, let's get on with the story!

Ai lays around Yusaku's bed in boredom as he waits for his partner/lover to come home for school.

There wasn't anything Ai can do to entertain himself since Yusaku doesn't own any video games like all boys do and the new soap opera won't have any new episodes for 4 months now. Plus, he can't talk to Roboppy anymore because of… uh… what happened.

Speaking of what happened to Roboppy, when was the last time this apartment was cleaned? Maybe Yusaku would be happy if his apartment is all cleaned up. Ai gets up from the bed and walks over to the closet to get some cleaning supplies.

He opens the closet door, but some stuff came falling towards Ai and buried him. Ai manages to get himself out of the situation. "How did Yusaku-chan manage to keep all of this crap in one closet?!" He asked himself with no answer at all.

Ai picks up all the stuff that was shoved into the closet and puts them all back in the closet in a neatly order. Once he was done putting all of the stuff back in the closet neatly, he was about to pick up some cleaning supplies, when he notices a book on the floor.

Ai picks up the book and examines it for a bit. Then he walks over to Yusaku's bed, sat down, and opens the book. When he opened, all he sees in the book are pictures. Pictures of Yusaku when he was a baby and as a kid, way before the Lost Incident happened.

"Aaaww! A mini Yusaku!" Ai cooed when he sees the photos. He goes through the photo book with all of photos of Yusaku as a baby and a child. He was so tiny as a baby and very cute too.

Yusaku was such a happy child. He loved his parents. He had so many friends. He loved playing Duel Monsters for fun with his parents and friends. But the Lost Incident took all of that away from it and it led to what Yusaku was used to be, probably because of Ai.

…

But… what if the simulations would come true and Yusaku dies because of Ai. That is he biggest fear of all time and that what led him to be the bad guy and wanting to kill himself because he doesn't want the future to happen.

Ai closed the photo book, placed it on the computer desk, and lays on Yusaku's bed to think about the future in worry. Then, without realizing, Ai fell asleep.

Ai didn't know how long he was asleep, but he heard the door opening and closing that made him wake up.

"Ai. I'm home." He heard Yusaku's voice when he came into the room. He slowly gets up and is now sitting on the bed, looking down at the floor, still thinking about the future.

Yusaku notices Ai looking like this. He goes up to him. "Ai? Is something wrong?"

Ai didn't say anything. He's still looking at the floor.

Yusaku knotted his eyebrows in concern. Then he notices his old photo book on his computer desk. "Ai? Where did you find that book?" He asked him.

"Um… In your closet. I wanted to clean your place up a bit before you got home since Roboppy is gone and then I was buried underneath all the crap you have in there, but I manage to get myself out of there. Then I put all of the crap back inside the closet neatly and that's where I found the photo book of you. I looked through it for a bit and you were a cute baby and a happy kid back then. After looking through the photo book, I… started wondering about the future…"

Yusaku didn't say anything. He just lets Ai talk.

"What if… the simulation did come true and you died because of my existence? I don't want our future of us being together finally be gone…"

Ai looks up at Yusaku and there are tears in his eyes. "I love you so much to lose you from something horrible in this den because of me…"

"Ai. I already told you that we won't let the simulation come true. We'll make sure that won't happen and killing you won't be an option." Yusaku told the Ignis. "I am still here and you are here too. No mater if the past comes back to us or what the future hold for us. We will still be together no matter the cost."

"Yusaku…"

Ai was quiet for a moment, but then he gets up from the bed and hugs Yusaku. "Thanks. I feel a lot better now."

"No problem."

After that hug, Ai pulls away from Yusaku and gives him a big wide smile. "So, now that you're home, Yusaku-chan, do you think you can help me clean up your apartment for a bit?"

"Not a chance."

Ai pouts when Yusaku said that. "Aaawww! You're no fun at all!"

Yusaku laughs for a bit at Ai's pouty face. He loves that goofball so much.

And that's the end of chapter 2! Tomorrow I will be posting chapter 3, which may or may not freak you guys out for what I am about to write for Day 3. Anyway, see you guys tomorrow and let me know what you all think of this chapter!
