Disclaimer: I don't own Moon Child or any of it's characters. I just own the plot.
Sho was brain dead. 'Love? He...Kei is in love with me? No...no. He doesn't...feel like that. He...cant. He's not gay.' "Your...your not gay."
"I'm in love with you Sho. Nothing you think or say is going to change that."
Pausing, Sho grouped his thoughts. He couldn't think. So, he asked, "How long?"
"How long what?"
Glaring, Sho demanded, "How long have you bee in in love with me?"
"Let's see...you were...so that makes it...seventeen years."
"What!? That would make me fifteen! You've been in love me that long!?"
"Hai."
"What...No...Your...Your not gay! You couldn't have loved me that long! You never did anything to...I never knew...You didn't-"
"Sho! Think! What would you have done if I did anything? If I had acted on my feelings, what would have happened? I never told you because I knew you would take it this way!
"I knew you would never love me back!" He paused and sighed.
When he spoke again his voice was think with his fight to hold back tears. He whispered, "Do you know what that is like? Do you know what it feels like to love someone how would never love you? It kills you Sho. It ripped me apart inside every time I saw you...I died again every time I had to act like nothing happened. I had to pretend. Pretend! Like nothing was amiss and that I didn't have feelings for you besides friendship." The tears began to fall and he let them, not strong enough to hold them back. "Sho, pain beyond your imagination pierced me every time you looked at me as just a friend, When you said you liked Yei-chi, when you got married...when you had her child. I would gladly die a thousand deaths if it would mean that I could have you. Even if it was just a look in your eyes that said you cared for me like that."
Sho looked at Kei in utter disbelief. No. It couldn't be true. He...It wasn't true! Kei did not love Sho! Sho loved Kei. Sho had always loved Kei. But when he had told him to continue with his life without him, he knew there would never be a chance with him. He had always known. Since he was thirteen he had had feelings for Kei, stronger then friendship. He Had known that Kei would leave him if he ever found out so he trained himself to hide the looks of love and utter adoration from his eyes and features. He he was lucky that Kei had not spotted him staring longingly at him in all those years they spent together. And Yei-chi...He had never loved her like a wife. He had loved her a friend. And he was the only thing that he had next to Kei.
He let out a harsh laugh. "Kei...It seemes that we share the same blindness."
Kei arched an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"I do know what that pain feels like. It feels like your heart was ripped from your chest and that the one you love was stepping on it unconsciously because they didn't know."
Kei was silent. 'Yes...that was exactly what it felt like. How would he know?'
"Your blinder then me, Kei, if you haven't noticed by now."
"What are you...Yei-chi?" Kei's mind wasn't clicking. Did he mean that he loved Yei-chi when she didn't love him back?
"No. Not Yei-chan. You."
Before he could respond, a pair of lips were on his. His eyes grew wide when the mental slap came. He finally pieced together Sho's words. He tried to pull away, not believing what he was hearing or feeling.
Sho wasn't having that. He pulled Kei closer to him, kissing him with everything he was and had ever felt. All the pain, loss, love. He didn't want to let go, ever.
Kei felt it all. He felt the love Sho had for him. It was everything he had hoped for and more... He managed to escape Sho's hold on him, pulling back in his seat, away from the man opposite. "I-I don't understand."
Sho smirked. "Nineteen years."
"What?"
"Nineteen years." Sho repeated. "I've loved you for nineteen years. Since I was thirteen. Have you never noticed we watching you, love?"
To shocked to say much, Kei merely shook his head. "Y-Yei-chi?"
Sighing, Sho grabbed Kei's hand and began to play with his fingers. Not looking up he replied, "You. You told me to gone on with my life. I figured then that there would never be any chance for us. Yei-chan was my friend, she loved you to. It was... only friendship."
"But the look in your eyes. Every time you looked at her, talked about her... there was so much in your eyes."
Sho looked at Kei dead in the eyes and lowered the walls he had built to hide what he was letting out now.
Kei's breath caught at the sight. His eyes. His eyes possessed so much love...So much more love then he had shown about Yei-chi. "H-how?"
"Simple. you only saw what you and I wanted to you to see. You saw love, and I wanted you to see that. I wanted you to think that I loved her. But your the only one who saw that. Why? Because every time I looked at you and I told you how much I loved her, I was thinking about you. You and the way we always hangout. Everything about you I loved and, even though I dimmed it, it was what I felt for you. It was what you had to see."
"We really are blind, aren't we?" Kei asked with nothing but sad amusement.
"Not anymore."
Kei looked over at Sho. The way he said those words sent a shiver down his spine. He looked at Sho challengingly. "No. Not any more." And with that He lifted his leg and drapped it around Sho, straddling him.
His breath hitched. And he looked up at Kei.
Kei just smiled and leaned in to kiss him.
