Chapter Five – True Identities

The sun came shinning through the window brightly as ever that morning. Tsuna was lying next to Rosuto with his arm gently wrapped around him, both still naked but were beyond warm. Tsuna laid silent taking occasional glimpses out of the window and back at Rosuto.

The sound of a constant beeping noise disturbed the silence. Tsuna loosed his grip around Rosuto and took out a small blue device from his shorts pocket and answered.

"Hikari-san" He wasn't looking forward to this conversation…

"Have you had any luck Rockman? It has been ages since I contacted you, I'm getting even more worried…"

"I know, sorry… nothing, I have no clue where he is" Rockman's face changed, turning sad and distraught just as he was a few days ago mostly because he was still not over Netto running away.

"Okay, well keep looking Rockman. He has to be around there somewhere…" He said and waved before closing communication.

Rockman placed the device which was Netto's pet back in his pocket. Tsuna lay down fully on his back and tried to sleep a little more.

On the other side of him however Rosuto's eyes widened.

The guy next to me… isn't Tsunagari but… but Rockman! What?! What is he doing here?! No wonder why I liked him so much… it's friggin Rockman!

Rosuto started to stir a little more, he needed to talk to him, but not bring it out immediately that we was actually Netto.

"Hay, Tsunagari… are you awake?" Tsunagari my arse He thought afterwards.

"Yeah" He answered nervously.

Rosuto gulped, unsure whether to continue or not. No… he had to, he needed to. Even if he didn't want Rockman back, there wasn't much he could do now; he'd shared a bed with him, kissed him and slept with him, like he could turn back now. "What is the name, of the person you are looking for?" He was hoping Tsuna would reply…

"He's called Netto. He was a close friend of mine who ran off when he was here a while back and we haven't seen him since, I was sent here to find him"

How should I continue, should I let him figure it out on his own… or should I just tell him? Actually no. I think I'll have some fun with this first. For him not telling me who he really was! "So, does Netto mean anything to you?"

Tsuna's face turned, he had no clue what to say, anything he could say could make the situation worse or better. "Well I did feel something strong for him, but after he went missing I think it just died down" He said sadly

What?! "That's horrible, he sounds like a bad person for making you suffer like that…" Rosuto was still facing away from him. He didn't feel like it was good doing this, but it was mostly revenge he was doing this for… oh and himself.

"So… um, who's Rockman?" Rosuto asked.

"Oh… um... his um navi, Rockman's a net navi" He said almost chocking on his worlds.

"Ah I see…" Don't play dumb with me, I heard father call you Rockman on the pet.

"Why Rosuto, why do you want to know this, have you seen him?" Tsunagari said, his spirits rose "Please if you have seen him, please tell me!"

Rosuto turned to face tsuna and sat up. "Does Netto by any chance have a father who's a scientist, named by Yuichiro; a mother named Haruka, and had a thing with Meiru at one point?"

Tsunagari's looked at him suspiciously confused… "How do you know all that? Who the hell are you!" He shouted.

Rosuto rose from his bed and went over to his draw and pulled out a small cloth that looked like it was wrapping something. "Give it up, Tsunagari, I know that you're actually Rockman, Netto's navi, it's amazing how you managed to appear in the real world though" He said smirking at him.

Rockman's face lit up, he had been found out. He sat up and changed into his normal net navi suit "So, you caught me, but please have you seen Netto or know where he is?" He pleaded once more.

Rosuto shook his head "You're such an idiot Rockman" Rosuto handed him the hanky. Rockman stared down at it and wondered what it was at first before he un-wrapped it.

"Wait this is… this is…" A small blue headband with his emblem on it "This is Netto's, where did you find it?" He asked, he looked like he was about to attack him.

"What? You still haven't realised!" This is getting kind of boring now... He took the headband from Rockman...

"Hay wait give that back!" Rockman screeched.

Rosuto tied the headband around his head. To reveal the same person Rockman was looking for "Netto…"

"That's right, now… why didn't you tell me who you really where and that you were looking for me!" He shouted

"Because I was told to make a fake name, in case anyone had heard of me and wondered why a net navi was in the real world, I was hoping it would be easy to find you!, plus you told me a fake name and you've changed so much!" He replied.

Netto folded his arms. "I didn't want anyone to find me, my life is going pretty great here and I was hoping not to be bothered"

"What are you saying? What about your family, your friends back in Akihara?" Rockman looked as though he were about to cry his innocent eyes out, seeing how Netto had changed…

"What friends? And family? Yeah… a failing one… Akihara means nothing to me anymore. This is my new home."

Rockman sat down on the bed, looking out the window... Netto however looked over him with rage on his mind… but still he had one last question.

"So then… Me or Rosuto?" He asked.

Rockman looked at him. Hopefully hoping that question was part of a dream, Rockman couldn't possibly reply, if he said Netto… then if Rosuto had actually been someone else and this was a different situation then Rosuto would probably hate him, even though he didn't particularly have any feelings for that half of Netto, sure he seemed like a nice kid, except it had been Netto the whole time, that being why he was so drawn towards him…

But after still no reply, Netto grew impatient. "I see, you actually love Rosuto, you never cared for me, even though I always cared for you, even if Tsunagari was real, id still choose you, id still go to you because you were always the one for me" He said, tears formed In his eyes and he ran out from his room, nearly falling down the stairs as he ran out into the town. Rockman tried desperately to follow him, but lost sight of him.

Oh Netto…I was going to say you, even if Rosuto actually existed, id still choose you because I only love you.

Netto ran and ran without stopping, trying to get as far away from Rockman as possible, blind because of the tears in his eyes, at least it was still early in the morning and the sun had barley raised yet. Netto found himself back at the beach where he and Rockman had first kissed.

He found himself snivelling; his tears could barley be held back.

I thought he had gone for good. And then he comes back and almost tricks me into falling in love with his fake…

"Why does everything I don't want to happen, happen" He screamed. He looked down at the water "I try and get away from it all, and it all manages to come back. I was just getting over him and then he comes back" He started to slowly walk towards the water.

That's it. Im ending it, I'm ending my suffering and probably his, He can move on... not that he can because Rosuto's going down with me… But my second chance is up. I thought it was going so well... But because of him, because of the memories he brought back, because of last night. It's ruined.

He gritted his teeth and started running towards the ocean and stopped at the sea edge. He placed his small toe in the ocean and quickly pulled it away. "Its freezing, even if I survive, there's nothing that can save me, even Rockman."

This was it. Over for him. The end.

Hmm. Bit of suicide there for you. I know, pretty pathetic that he's killing himself because his love returned. But if you think about it, he wanted to move on because he wasn't happy being the person he was in Akihara, but Rockman brought it back. So... I would be pissed if it happened to me.
