Kyo wouldn't eat anything. No matter how Ryu begged. He was fed up and angry, so he didn't realized what he was saying.
"Then get out, move out! I don't want to see you anymore!" Ryu shouted angrily. The pained look on Kyo's face stopped him and he realized now what he just said. He stopped and tried to reach out to Kyo as he tried to get up from what used to be their bed,
"W-Where are you going?" he asked, softly.
Kyo looked at him with tears in his eyes, "You told me to move out, right? You told me you don't want to see me anymore. Just give me a week when am strong enough I will leave you alone and take away your misery." Kyo said.
Ryu grabbed him, and embraced him, raining kisses all over his face, "Damn it, Kyo. Damn it!" Ryu shouted angrily.
Before they realized it, Kyo was kissing back, the argument forgotten, places, things and persons forgotten. This is Kyo and Ryu, the seme and uke of ten years ago, clothes peeled off, bodies intertwined, like a beautiful symmetry, these bodies belonged to each other, fit one mold, borne with familiarity, unspoken words, they answered the need that had remained unspoken.
When they broke away slowly, as each one settled down after they climaxed together, it dawned on Ryu what just happened. Tears fell.
"I'm sorry." Kyo said, wiping away those tears. "For stealing his heaven. It used to be mine but now it's his. I'm sorry if I have to steal it. I won't ask for it again."
Kyo got up weakly, almost swooned if Ryu didn't steady him. "Can you be mine when he is not here, Ryu? I beg of you, please? Even not like this. Just a kiss, a touch…kind words. That's all I ask. Let me look at you, feel your skin. Please let me stay." Kyo begged, his eyes full of hurt pleading.
Kyo dropped to his knees, holding on to his legs.
"Get up, please. Kyo. Please." Ryu said.
Kyo wailed, his heart is breaking. "Alright, Ryu. I won't touch you, never again. I won't kiss you. Just let me stay and look at you. I promise I won't go near you." Kyo begged, his voice breaking.
Ryu knelt in front of him, "Shhh….it's alright, Kyo. It's alright." Ryu whispered, taking his chin, making him face him.
"Okay…am yours, just like this. When Jin is not around, when he is away. But only when it's the two of us. When we're alone. I love him, Kyo, as I do you, I don't want to lose you but I don't want to hurt Jin."
Kyo smiled, Ryu smiled back at him. And then Kyo laughed, grabbed him in an embrace and kissed him all over.
Ryu feigned protest, "I thought you are sick?" he asked, laughing.
"You're my healing balm." Kyo whispered in a kiss.
"Enough for one more round?" Ryu asked, looking at him with a twinkle in his eye.
"As many as you want!" Kyo said, jubilantly, pinning him down on the floor, and they started making love all over again, this time more slowly, savoring the feel of each other, the taste of each other. The same way it used to be, when they were used to be just Kyo and Ryo.
