Disclaimer: Nope, of course they're not mine. Only Eve, and the baka named Jon.

'At some point in life. I have to stop and think. To call all things into question...'

Eve sighed, staring blankly at the crackling fireplace in front of her, she slid down further in her chair, relaxing at the feeling of the heat on her skin.

'To wonder... really, why I'm doing this. Why I'm here. In this life. At this moment. Why I did do everything. Why I am on this endless quest. How did I wind up here? Things are so simple anymore. Revenge was a very straight line. To me, it was all simple. I do these things, to get what I want... but now... what do I want? His blood on my hands? His hand in mine?'

Eve blinked a few times, shaking her head and attempting to clear her thoughts. She was unsuccessful, as more thoughts and questions came pouring in.

'Am I still fine acting only for myself? Am I okay justifying my actions with these selfish reasons? Is this alright with me?'

Blinking a few times, she sighed, rubbing her temples.

'What am I worrying for now?' She thought, standing wiggling her bare toes into the soft carpet. 'Why am I thinking about that now?' She reached forward, rubbing her stomach gently, and then smoothing out the wrinkles there 'What's done is done. And cannot be undone. These actions and choices I've made... will come back and haunt me...'

Reaching into her purse, she pulled out a pill bottle, and poured some into her hand.

'I take so many uppers, downers, and stabilizers it's ridiculous.' She thought, popping the pills into her mouth and swallowing. 'But they all serve their purpose... to help keep me sane. To help keep me together long enough to...'

Her thought's trailed off as she popped them into her mouth and took them, closing her eyes for a moment.

'What exactly... do I hope to gain... what will be gained? And what will be lost?'

Shaking herself out of her thoughts, she picked up her shoes that she had kicked off and walked out of the empty library she was in.

'This house... the's walls... they aren't mine. Nothing is mine. And the one thing that is mine, I can't seem to want.'

She forced her smile back on her face as she ran into Jon in the kitchen, and wrapped her arms around him, leaning her face into his back.

"Hey." He said, squeezing her hand gently, but not stopping peeling the pear that was in his hands.

"Hi." She replied back simply

"You're in a good mood. You seemed upset earlier."

"I did? What gave you that impression?"

"Um..." Jon said nervously "Well."

Eve looked up, her eyes meeting Jon's who was looking over his shoulder at her.

"What?" She asked

Jon didn't reply, but his eyes darted around the room. Eve took a step back from him, scratching her head, as she looked around the kitchen.

"Oh."

It was trashed. Everything was knocked off the table and out of the cabinets and was littered about the floor. Her eyes widened. She had even attacked the refrigerator too, as food lay littered about the floor, and was splattered on the floor. Glass was everywhere, even one of the sinks faucets were broken and was spouting water. Even the table was turned over and all of the chairs moved.

In fact, the only clean area in the kitchen appeared the small section where Jon was working, peeling a pear directly onto the counter because the trash can had been hurled across the room.

"Wha..."

'I didn't even notice...'

"You came in... and out of the blue started smashing things..." Jon said calmly "I guess you were having a bad day. Did something happen?"

Eve looked at him strangely, raising her eyebrow.

'How can he seriously be so calm? I just smashed up his house... how can he still love me after this?'

Jon took a bite of his pear, and licked at the juice as it ran down his fingers.

"After you did all this... you screamed that you didn't want anyone to touch anything, and stormed off into the library. You've been there a couple of hours."

'I have?'

"But did something happen?" Jon asked, standing next to Eve "Do you need anything? Are you unhappy somehow?"

'This baka. How can he be like this? This... stupid... but why... why does this make me smile?'

Eve shook her head and hugged Jon tightly, taking a bite of his pear.

"I'm fine."

"Good." He said, kissing the top of her head

'Is this... his feelings for me... is this what love does to a person?'

"Pretty soon, I'll have what I want..." She said

'What do I really want though?'

Shuichi Yuki.

Shuichi had read it a dozen times, and there it still said it. Shuichi Yuki. Shuichi Yuki. Over and

again, scribbled across the paper again and again. Some in cursive, some in print.

Shuichi smiled, clutching the paper close to his chest. He began to wonder when his lover had lost his train of thought, and started thinking of him. At the top of the page, there were scribbled lines and ideas, but as the page went further down, and on the back side of the page, it was scribbled.

Shuichi Yuki.

"Probably the most beautiful words I've ever heard in my life..." he murmured softly

"Baka. What are you doing?"

Shuichi's head snapped up, looking at his only towel-clad lover standing over him.

"Wow, Yuki! You're silent like the ninja!"

Yuki raised his eyebrow at him.

"You didn't answer my question." He responded, used to Shuichi's randomness.

"I... I'm sorry." Shuichi said, expecting Yuki to get upset at any moment "I was just going to pick it up... but I saw..."

Yuki was silent for a moment, until he let out a curt laugh.

"What?" Shuichi asked

Yuki reached down, gently thumping Shuichi on the head.

"Who said I didn't want you to see it?" He asked, taking the notebook from his hands.

"YUKI!" Shuichi shouted, hugging onto his lover's waist. "YOU LOVE ME!"

"Of course I do... I wouldn't have spent so much money on a damn blimp if I hadn't."

Shuichi smiled, pressing his face into Yuki's sweet smelling skin, his mind traveling back to that day. When the ordeal with Eve had finally been resolved, and Yuki had displayed his love for Shuichi on a blimp that flew over their favorite park.

"Hm." Yuki said softly, his tone gentle "Now let go."

"No." Shuichi said, sounding like a stubborn child, clinging tighter.

"Shu. Let go." Yuki said more forcefully, taking a step back

"No!"

Yuki sighed, annoying, and after a few moments of struggling, he managed to free himself from Shuichi... and his towel as well, and Shuichi sat on the floor, looking at his lover, naked as the day he'd been born.

"Shu... give me my towel."

"Nope." Shuichi said, holding onto it tightly

"Shuichi..."

"No..."

Yuki smirked, a devious look crossing his face.

"Have it your way then." He said, tackeling Shuichi to the ground, and wincing when he landed uncomfortably on his sunburns

"Yuki! Are you okay?" Shuichi asked

"No." Yuki said through gritted teeth "I'm in pain." But suddenly his voice grew seductive "I guess that means that you'll have to take care of me then... doesn't it?" He asked, laughing softly

Shuichi grinned and before pressing his lips to Yuki's murmured.

"This is going to be a long night."
