No way, Sage thought to himself. Before he got back onto his feet and followed the scent, sure smelt good though. Sage thought, as he then noticed a small pond, with fishes inside. Sage gave a light smile toward the pond, before he glanced around the small area where he was at, but there was just a fire pit with a cooked rabbit on it. Sage shrugged, as he took a piece of the rabbit and ate it slowly, as he watched his surroundings.
Though Sage didn't notice anything odd, but then again there was no one there. Just the cooked rabbit, Sage didn't question it, as he took another piece and ate that too. Sage sat there awhile, as he glanced up at the sky. There was a crescent moon out today, with a few stars. Rowen would love this, Sage told himself.
"Who told you to eat my food?" Cye asked.
"Huh?" Sage asked, then glanced over toward him slowly.
"Well?" Cye asked.
"Cye?" Sage then asked slowly.
"This is where I been. I cook my meals here, so no one bothers me." Cye replied.
"Are you still down?" Sage then asked him.
"A little." Cye told him, as he sat down then.
"Well, I was hungry and you weren't around earlier." Sage pointed out.
"So, that gives you the right to just take it?" Cye asked.
"No... I'm sorry I had." Sage replied.
"Oh well, I guess as long as it gets eaten." Cye pointed out.
"Shall we go back to the mansion?" Sage asked.
"I'm not going." Cye then said, casting his eyes on the ground.
"It can't be that bad." Sage replied, as he went a bit closer to him.
"You wouldn't understand." Cye replied.
"You can tell me." Sage told him.
"I don't want to." Cye then said.
Sage then slowly got more closer, before he even tried to kiss Cye's lips, but he was only pushed away. So Sage couldn't do so, as he sighed then. Wait, was he going to kiss Cye? Sage asked himself, as he blushed. Oh crap... was he blushing now? Sage asked himself this too. Cye sighed before getting off the ground, as he glanced to Sage.
"Look, you should head back." Cye told him.
"I... suppose." Sage soon said, trying to stay calm.
"I am sure they are worried." Cye stated.
"They are worried about you too." Sage remarked.
"Oh please... no one worries about me." Cye whispered.
"Mia was." Sage told him, but so was he.
"I don't care, please go." Cye told him slowly.
"Fine, but please come back to the mansion one day." Sage then said.
"Whatever." Cye said all sadly.
Sage got off the ground, as he patted Cye's shoulder, before walking off. Though he didn't really want to, since he started to think he had feelings for Cye. Well, this was new to Sage, if that was true. Though he felt a glow again from his back, as Sage pouted softly, what was with him? Sage asked himself, as he then headed back to the mansion. Rowen glanced at Sage when he returned back to the mansion, since it was after dinner.
"What kept you?" Rowen asked.
"I don't know what's wrong with me, okay." Sage simply put it.
"Mia was worried about you." Rowen told him.
Sage soon sighed, before he remembered what Cye just said, that one one worried about him. Sage didn't like that, but he worried of Cye, also why was Rowen around Mia more? Did he love Mia now? Sage didn't know, maybe he did and maybe he loved Cye then? Sage asked himself, as he just blushed, then went into the mansion. Mia glared toward Sage, as she pointed toward some new women who came by it seemed.
"Oh, welcome to the mansion." Sage told the new women.
"Thank you." Kim replied.
"Your welcome, now I am going back to my room." Sage pointed out.
"He's cute." Kim then told Mia.
"Oh, you like Sage?" Mia asked Kim.
"Yeah." Kim said slowly.
"Wow and you just met him." Mia chuckled.
Kento bonked Sage's head when he walked into his own room. Sage grumbled before he glanced at Kento, now wasn't the time. Sage even thought of zapping Kento, but that wouldn't be very nice to do, so he just sighed. Kento stuck out his tongue, before running down the hallway. Sage shook his head, before he opened his closet.
"Let's see, what can I wear." Sage said slowly, as he glanced to all of his clothes.
Sage then smirked, as he grabbed his purple shirt with lightning on its front out, then took off his other shirt. Sage then placed the purple shirt on, as he wondered which pants to wear with them. Sage then grabbed his black jeans and took off his old ones and put the new jeans on. Sage was so glad no one was watching him dress. Sage then smirked as he looked himself over.
"Yes, this outfit will do." Sage told himself.
Sage then blinked since he heard laughing, before he glanced out of his room. Mia seemed to be showing Kim around the mansion and all of the rooms. Sage soon sighed, as Mia and Kim entered into his bedroom. Really. He thought to himself, not like Sage actually didn't want to be with another women again, he actually, wait...
"Oh yeah he is still cute." Kim replied.
"Oh you." Mia chuckled.
"Wait what?" Sage asked, as he looked to them both.
"She has been talking about you, this whole time." Mia chuckled.
"Oh great." Sage replied.
"Oh come on give her a try, Sage." Beth remarked.
"Oh gah, now she is in my room too?" Sage asked.
"Maybe she's right Sage, maybe she'll be the one for you." Mia pointed out.
"Fine." Sage replied, giving a grumble to them both.
"Yay." Kim replied as she hugged Sage.
"What the hell?" Sage asked.
"I want a hug back." Kim pouted.
Sage sighed, as he hugged her back then, Kim seemed very happy now. Mia smiled too, as they finally left him alone, but with Kim. Sage sighed only more, as he wondered how to get out of this, maybe he needed to go find a nice cliff. Kim smiled as she hugged Sage again, Sage just rolled his eyes, this women was nuts, wasn't she?
"What do you want to do?" Sage asked.
"We can go dance?" Kim asked.
Oh great... Sage thought to himself, as he gave a deeper sigh. Sage looked toward her, he so wanted to say no, but guessed he had no choice now, since Mia and Beth would probably tell him he had to. But Sage wanted to follow his heart, he wanted to be with... Cye, yes that's who. Wait, Sage thought, as he tried to shake that from his mind.
"Well, come on, I know a club." Kim replied, tugging on Sage's arm.
"Fine." Sage said, giving a fake smile.
Kim smiled as she led Sage to a club she knew, before she placed her arms around him. Sage just sighed, as he tried his best to dance with her and to stay awake, she was rather boring. Kim then smiled again, giving him a hug while they danced. Was she for real? Sage asked himself slowly, she smiled to like to smile and hug a whole lot.
"I like dancing with you." Kim then said.
"I like dancing with you too." Sage said, though he lied.
"You dance so good." Kim said softly.
"Yeah... you do to." Sage replied, as he sighed more.
Kim gave him another hug, as Sage just sighed again. Sage didn't want this, he didn't want to be with her, he knew that for sure. Kim acted, well odd and he didn't know what to make of her. Kim smiled as they got done dancing now, as Sage slowly walked off with his head lowered, Kim didn't notice. She was way too happy, it seemed. Sage noticed that Kim headed toward the mansion, well he didn't want to follow her, or be with her.
Sage then had an evil plot, as he smirked, before he ran off up the road. Sage returned back to the pond where he found Cye the first time at, but no one was there, not even food cooking. Sage mumbled, before he heard, crying? Sage quickly followed it, as he went over to a tree nearby. Sage then peeked around the tree as he noticed it was Cye, whom was crying.
"Cye?" Sage asked slowly.
"What you want?" Cye asked, as he tried his best not to cry anymore.
"What is wrong?" Sage asked now.
"I had break-ups." Cye then replied, as he dried his tears away.
"I do too actually." Sage then said, as he went over to him and held him.
"Its not fair, you know." Cye told him.
"I know." Sage said softly, as he just kept holding Cye.
"Why are you here anyhow?' Cye asked him.
"I got no idea, plus I seem to have been giving a new women." Sage sighed.
"Then you should be with her?" Cye asked.
"But, I am worried about you." Sage whispered.
"You don't need to be, I am alright." Cye then said, but truthfully he wasn't.
"I can stay with you longer. Besides, I don't want to return right now." Sage told him.
"Wait..." Cye then said, as he glanced toward Sage's arms, finally noticing that he was being held by him.
"What?" Sage then asked, as he gave a blush.
"Why were you trying to kiss me that one time?" Cye then asked.
"It was... because you looked so down, so miserable." Sage pointed out.
"So?" Cye asked.
"I worried, just I did when you were crying just a few moments ago." Sage replied.
"But I am used to a women doing so." Cye then told him.
"Well, I can be better." Sage said, well he hoped he could.
"I don't want to be touched right now." Cye pointed out now.
"It might take time, I will give you plenty of it." Sage said softly, as he glanced into Cye's sea green eyes.
"I don't want anyone." Cye whispered, well at the moment he didn't since he kept getting heartbreaks.
Sage didn't know how badly Cye was hurting, all he knew was that Cye wasn't inside the mansion, which was unusual for him. Sage gave a light sigh then, before he decided to walk back to the mansion, as he hoped that Kim wasn't there anymore, she was so boring. Cye just stared and watched Sage leave, oddly he had. Sage slowly walked back down the road, with his head lowered, he only felt sadness right now. Sage gt back to the mansion as he blinked to find everyone standing outside of it.
"What's going on?" Sage asked them.
"I was teasing Rowen." Kento pointed out, as he stuck out his tongue.
"Is that an answer?" Sage asked, tilting his head to the side.
"We decided to be outside, its nice out today." Mia pointed out.
"Well, that's a better answer." Sage admitted.
"You lost." Rowen then said.
"Nah ah, you cheated." Kento replied.
"Are they always like this?" Sage asked Mia.
"I think so, when they aren't fighting bad guys." Mia stated.
"I don't want to do that again." Rowen said slowly.
"I can kick their butts." Kento grinned, as he sat onto a rock nearby.
"Oi." Rowen replied as he shook his head.
"Is that girl still here?" Sage asked now.
"Sage do you got a crush on Kim?" Rowen asked.
"No way... I..." Sage said slowly, well he wasn't going to tell them who he liked.
"She's playing a game in the mansion." Mia answered Sage.
"Gah, does she ever leave?" Sage asked then.
"You are rude." Rowen explained as he nuzzled Mia's cheek.
"Get a room." Kento replied from his rock.
"I'm not in the mood to be nice..." Sage replied slowly, before he walked toward the mansion's door.
"What's with him?" Kento asked.
"Who knows." Rowen replied.
"Maybe later." Mia said, as she stuck out her tongue at Kento.
Sage huffed as he entered the mansion, as he walked down the hall and into his room. He punched his bed lightly, before laying down onto it. Sage glanced at the ceiling, as he reached for his pillow and threw it at the ceiling.
"Stupid idiot, you won't find a date that way!" Sage yelled at himself.
Though awkwardly Kim heard him, as she stormed into his room. Sage then sighed as he saw her enter his room, he so needed a lock for that thing! Sage then mumbled before he got off his bed as he glared toward her now.
"What I do?" Kim asked.
"I am pissed okay?" Sage said, as he went over to a corner.
"You seemed so calm before." Kim told him.
"Not like you care." Sage pointed out, crossing his arms.
"Aww, poor Sage." Kim replied as she hugged him.
"Go away, leave me alone..." Sage told her.
"Want to go dancing again?" Kim then asked him.
"No thanks." Sage said all low.
"Okay, then I'll go ask someone else." Kim replied, before she ran out of his room.
Sage grumbled, she was annoying and they wanted him with her? What was wrong with them? Sage grumbled more as he picked the pillow back up as he punched it, then threw it onto the ground. Sage soon started to cry, he didn't know why. Sage just soon sat down by the corner, as he just cried there. Maybe it was too much to take in, maybe he will never feel the same way.
"Are you okay?" Mia asked now.
"Just... just go." Sage told her, trying his best not to cry in front of her, since most of the women he had met never liked him crying.
"Well, you made Kim worry." Mia pointed out.
"I didn't ask her too, besides..." Sage then trailed off, wrong person to probably tell it to.
"Besides what?" Beth then asked.
Sage blinked as he stood up from his corner, now why was he suddenly stormed with tons of people? Mia was there, Beth, Ryo who was close to Beth's side, Rowen, yes and even Kento too, well at least Kim wasn't in his room still. Mia then blinked toward him, wondering what he wanted to say.
"Nothing okay." Sage pointed out, besides he didn't even know why he had feelings for Cye to begin with.
"Tell me, Sage." Beth said to him.
"If I say it, you all will laugh or something." Sage then said.
"You know me better then that." Beth told him.
"I... got feelings for another man okay, happy?" Sage asked them, as some tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Are you turning gay on us?" Beth asked.
"I don't know, maybe." Sage replied, as he sighed.
"Eeww, Sage is gay... I better go hide." Kento said slowly, before he backed out of Sage's room and made a run for it.
"Kento took that well." Rowen said, as he gave a shrug.
"So who is this guy?" Beth then asked.
"Um... well..." Sage said, as he turned bright red.
"Yeah?" Beth asked.
"Hope its not me, I like Mia." Rowen pointed out.
"It better not be my Ryo, so help me." Beth warned then.
"No... its not you Rowen, Ryo either." Sage told them.
"Then who?" Beth asked.
"Oh yeah tell the world, why not." Mia said in a joking manner, as she chuckled.
Rowen just went dark red when she had said this. Sage gave a deep sigh, he guessed there was no way out of it now. Mia smiled as she held Rowen's hand now, she was glad it wasn't Rowen either. Beth kept close to Ryo, as Ryo just smiled and kept close back.
"Fine... its... Cye." Sage whispered.
They all gasped when he had said this, they glanced to each other a moment. Then they started to whisper amongst themselves, before just turning back to Sage not certain what to say. Mia didn't know why Sage would have feelings towards him for, since Kim obviously liked Sage. Though then again, Sage didn't seem interested in Kim at all and Mia noticed that. Rowen just shrugged, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Well, I won't go for it. You have to be with Kim, whether you like it or not." Beth pointed out.
"Hold on Beth, let him find out for himself." Mia told her.
"Fine." Beth said, before she glanced to Ryo.
"You want to go?" Ryo asked.
"Yes love." Beth replied.
Ryo and Beth then left out of Sage's room, Mia gave a light shrug as she tugged on Rowen's arm. Rowen then left the room too with Mia, Sage then sighed since they all seemed to leave now. Just great, he was losing his friends too? Sage asked himself, as he stared at himself.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" Sage asked.
"Who knows anymore." Beth replied, before walking away from his doorway.
Beth wasn't any help that's for sure. Sage then sighed, as he gathered a few things of his, as he decided to leave the mansion too. They certainly didn't want a gay man hanging around its walls, as Sage sighed more. Sage soon stopped in his tracks in the long hallway, as he gasped and was shocked. It seemed that Cye returned back to the mansion, but why?
"I am glad your back." Mia told Cye, since she was by the door.
"I just came to get the rest of my junk." Cye pointed out.
"Welcome back, buddy." Rowen told Cye.
"Wow, didn't know you all would care so much." Cye pointed out.
Though Sage slowly placed his stuff into his room, as he ran out. Sage went over to the others, as he smiled toward Cye. Though Cye didn't look to happy, to see any of them. Cye rather looked miserable and sad, just the way he did by the pond. Mia gave a shrug, as she glanced toward Sage a bit.
"Well go on, find out." Mia told him.
"Huh?" Sage asked, as he pointed towards him. "Me?"
"Yes you." Mia chuckled.
"Well even if its short visit, glad you are back." Rowen then said to him.
"I suppose." Cye replied.
"Can we like talk alone?" Sage asked Cye.
"I'm just here to get my junk, that's it Sage." Cye pointed out, as he walked with his head down.
"Geez, what got into him?" Kento asked.
"I don't know." Rowen replied with a shrug giving.
"Hey, maybe he wants to meet Kim." Mia replied.
"Good idea." Rowen said then, as he kissed Mia's cheek.
"I said get a room already!" Kento yelled at them both.
"Kento!" Rowen and Mia both yelled toward him.
Kento then shut up, before he ran outside and sat onto his rock. Sage shook his head, things never changed around here, okay Rowen was in love with Mia, Mia was in love with Rowen, Kento he was just the same as always, though Cye was a mystery. Sage sighed more, hoping that he can at least say goodbye to Cye, before he left for good. So Sage ran over to Cye's room, since that's where Cye had wandered off to.
