I can't believe I'm actually typing this...

When I said four chapters, I meant altogether. I had no intention of posting the fourth chapter the same day or even in the same week. That's why it wasn't completed yet...

I don't mean to attack you in anyway, but... I'm not a good updater. And I'm super sorry, but that kinda just blew my mind after a long day at work. I even debate on taking your post down, but I chose to leave it up because, even though you confused me, I am still really greatful that you took the time to review.

This is the final chapter. I do have one-shots planned for other character relationships.

Thank you everyone who reviewed. Um, and to people who favorites and followed.

Disclaimer- ...No.

Bleeding hearts

There were a lot of things Ren did in his life that he wasn't proud of. And the few things that he was proud of were pushed so far back in his mind, he could hardly remember what they were. Yet one of the few things that he forced himself to remember, to love, presented himself in a new way.

Ren wasn't stupid. The first day he walked through those classroom doors he saw it. The blue eyes of the boy he had once held dear were gone. He had easily gotten the information about his old friend's school from his father. And although he could have gone to a more privileged school, he chose this one to hope for a glimpse of the biggest mistake he every made.

How he longed for the days when Masa looked at him with simple innocence. Naïve trust. The days that he had called Masa his best friend. After seeing him with that girl and a horribly dressed Otoya, who had confessed to Ren after being asked, he wished for the days of childhood back. Although, that moment of them meeting had gotten them talking again. But not like the old days.

It was obvious that what he had said that day, in both anger and hurt, had wounded Masato's heart. And there was nothing more in the world that Ren wanted to do than to take back those misplaced hateful words.

He never thought of the blue haired male's feelings as a game, like he did with so many women. He never wanted to break his heart. For years, while he had studied abroad, he had placed the blame solely on Masato for everything that had been said. After all Masato had pushed him away.

But he never told Masa he was leaving. When he had pushed his feelings on the boy of only twelve, he hadn't though it might shock him. Times that he and Masa had together before were simple and fun. But right before leaving he had thrown love into the equation things had changed. It was his first time telling the blue haired boy he loved him.

As he sat at his desk, eyes wandering over to Masa, he knew he had said it to soon. If only that day he would have told his friend that he was leaving, not forcing his feelings onto him, things would have been different. Of course, back then he was a kid and didn't think it would hurt so much.

His much did he have to suffer. Those eyes that looked at him that day by the gate, they were filled with lust, but also hatred. Ren let out a sigh, he wanted his friend back. Eventually he would find away to secure Masa's trust again.

With the boring male teacher spewing words that meant little to him, Ren let his heavy eyelids close as he dreamed of a better time. His soft blonde hair brushing against his cheek reminded him as he drifted of the one time he had touched Masa's hair. It was like blue silk.

Masato watched Ren lift his head after the final bell had rung. He smiled kindly at the redhead next to him, that Nanami knew as Tomo. Not wanting bare having to see him flirt with the girl anymore he roughly grabbed his bag of the table, stomping off towards the door.

"Masa." Ren's voice called to him. Despite his better judgment, he stopped.

"What?" He called out annoyed.

"It's been so long since we went home together." He purred, raising from his seat. The blonde clenched the strap of his bag in his hand, pulling it with him as he moved to approach his old friend.

Masato, thinking only of his revenge, seized the opportunity. His smile was sweet, his glare cold as ever, and words bitter. "Of course, that sounds great. Nanami was just telling me how she had to go to the library to meet up with Nagi for a tutoring session."

"I was?" Nanami asked tilting her head in an innocent way. Her brain took a few minutes to realize that Masa wanted alone time with the blonde. "On that's right. He asked me for help with his, uh, English? Yeah, English!"

"I hope you don't mind it being just you, me and Tomo.". Masa tried to hind the annoyance in his voice.

"Oh, Tomo is going to the mall with, uh..." Ren looked over at her for help.

"Ai-chan. He says that he wanted a new look." Tomo finished honestly.

"So it's just you and me?" Masato asked barely bringing his gaze back to the blonde from Nanami.

"Yes, just you and me." Ren smiled.

Exiting the school was awful and awkward. In fact, neither spoke to one another until they were a few blocks from there homes. For once, Masato was glad he walked to school and back. This moment, he wanted it to go perfectly. But seducing people was Ren's thing, not his.

"I meant it." Ren said suddenly halting his pace. "Six years ago, when I said I loved you, I really did mean it."

"What?" Masato was taken aback. Okay... maybe seducing people wasn't that hard...

"It was never a game. Not to me." Ren spoke softly, letting each word sink in. "I tried so hard to hate you, for so long. But everyday, seeing you in class, I can't... Masa are you still the same person I loved, somewhere deep beneath all that hate?"

"You said you were never coming back." The bluenette said quietly.

"I wanted to see you." Ren advanced, drawing closer to Masato. "If only just for a moment."

"I hated you." Masa took a step away.

"There's a fine line between love and hate." Another step closer.

"I'm serious. I hate you now too."

"Oh, I can feel my heart bleeding." The blonde purred.

"If that's all it takes to break your heart, I've been wasting my life for nothing." Masato said, taking a step into the seemingly empty road. "This whole time for three words."

"It's natural. I don't blame you. But I think I can change your mind." Another advance.

Another step back. "No, I hate you."

"Like you could ever ha-" Ren jumped forward.

Masato's mind didn't grasp what was happening. Why was Ren pushing him? Why hadn't be bothered to finish his sentience? His brain didn't function until after the car's breaks screeched and a crumpled body lay limply in front of him.

A woman cursed, a baby cried, and a frantic man shouted in his cell phone. Masa's eyes widened as he let a small whisper, so quiet in the fuss that no one could hear, escape his lips. "But... wasn't I supposed to break your heart?"
