Chapter 9: The red heads regret

The sun was shining. Birds were singing, insects were hovering over newly bloomed flowers and the heat had finally returned to the air. It was the middle of May and soon June would be there, and with June, the final weeks of the school year. Kai and Tala were sitting and eating breakfast. The mood had improved since they confronted Garland.

"Now do you understand how it hurts?" Tala walked out from behind the corner and looked at Garland. The silver haired boy stared at him before his eyes fell on Kai. Then sobbed and returned his eyes to Bryan who almost looked just as hurt.

"I'm sorry Garland," he whispered. The silver haired male sobbed again, before turning around and walking away. Bryan reached out his hand to stop him, but didn't reach him, and didn't follow. The four boys stood watching the other male walk away, broken and regretting.

But today the mood wasn't that great. Tala had seen a depressed Bryan earlier that morning and even if Bryan wouldn't tell him what was wrong, Tala knew it had something to do with Garland.

"So you think Bryan really did fall in love with Garland?" Kai asked looking thoughtfully at his room-mate. The red head nodded. He had a troubled look on his face, which made the blue haired teen wish he could do something to cheer him up.

"He used to be in love with me you know," Tala said as he stared at his plate. Kai didn't reply to that, just looked at his friend.

"He told me. Bryan knew he was gay since he was quite young, and I've always known. That's why many guys wouldn't play with him when we were younger, but I did, because I liked him. So he fell in love with me and told me. Of course he knew I wouldn't return it, but he still thought I should know. I respected him for that. That's why we're still such good friends. He had never fallen in love before me. I tried to help him find someone else, but it didn't change anything, not until recently. It was right after he started hanging out with Garland that he told me I shouldn't worry about it anymore. Now I feel bad because I believe I did more than just teach Garland how it feels. I think I really hurt him and Bryan too. I even used Wolfram to do all this."

The red head sighed heavily and looked out the window. For a moment they were silent. Then the blue haired boy spoke;

"You didn't do anything wrong Tala. If they didn't want to help they wouldn't have done it. And if you think you hurt Garland and Bryan doing it, why don't you put them together again? You only taught Garland not to cheat on people, you didn't teach him not to love anyone."

While they were walking down the hall the two friends talked about how to get Bryan and Garland back together. Even if they hated the silver haired guy for what he had done to Kai and tried to do to Tala, it didn't make them heartless. Kai knew Garland could be a great guy if he wanted to, and Tala trusted his blue-haired friend on that, because in the end they both knew Garland just wanted someone to make him loyal.

"How about we show Garland that Bryan really loves him?" the red head asked as an idea formed in his mind.

"That would be wise, then he would understand that he should be loyal too. But first of all we should make him understand how much he loves Bryan." Kai replied. Tala blinked in confusion at his room-mate.

"What do you mean Kai?" he asked.

"Garland told me he never loved anyone like he loved me. But I doubt he would cry if he found me kissing someone else. Yet he cried when Bryan did. Garland really loves the guy, he just needs to fully understand that," the blue haired guy continued.

"What do you suggest then?" Tala questioned and looked suspiciously at his room-mate, with a feeling that he knew what Kai was thinking of.

"That I seduce him," Kai replied.

Tala stared at him. His ice blue eyes were serious and cold.

"Are you sure you can handle this?" he asked the male in front of him. Kai nodded. They were standing in the school park behind a tree. Not too far away from them Garland was sitting on a bench reading. He seemed lost and gloomy and Tala was certain that if everyone at the school knew what happened, he would be hated by everyone. Kai's eyes were locked on the silver haired male, his breath was heavy and the red head could see a slightly nervous sweat form on his friend's forehead. What they were about to do was extremely delicate for both parties. If it didn't work out as planned, things would get even worse than they were.

"Kai..."

"I'm fine Tala. As long as you're watching me I'll be fine," he said and looked at his room-mate. The red head didn't like this situation. Kai was hurting himself to help fix something he had made happen. With a deep breath Kai turned and walked over to Garland.

"World history for second year high school," Kai read the title on Garland's book as he approached him.

Garland hates history. He thought as he reached him. He stood there looking at him for a moment. The silver haired male didn't even notice he was there.

"Hi Garland," the blue haired male finally said. The other male looked up and their eyes meet. At that moment Kai knew everything would be all right. He was no longer attached to Garland like he had been; kissing him would be no problem. The silver haired boy no longer looked at him the way he once did.

"I thought you needed some comforting," he continued, more confident now.

"I didn't ask Tala to do those things to you," he said. Which was true, he hadn't asked for Tala's help, even if he was grateful he got it. Garland blinked at him. It was then Kai sat down on his lap, their chests against each other and with his legs on each side of the silver haired male's hips. He also wrapped his arms around his old lover's neck, like he knew Garland had loved when they were together. The other male automatically wrapped his arms around the blue haired males waist and looked hopefully at him.

He needs this, Kai thought

He needs to have someone loving him. Just not me. He leaned down and kissed the silver haired male who returned the kiss hungrily.

You don't want me anymore, do you Garland? Kai mentally asked and as he did his old lover's enthusiasm faded, before he pulled away. The blue haired male looked at him, the other male stared back at him.

"You want Bryan back don't you?" Kai asked. Tears formed in Garland's eyes.

"I love him," he whispered.

"I know. I've known for a while actually. But I wanted to make sure you knew as well," Kai replied. His old lover stared at him, surprised. Kai smiled.

"Let's get you back with Bryan," he said and got off of Garland's lap and held out a friendly hand.

Tala sighed in relief. So far everything had gone as it should. Now it was time to make Bryan realise his feelings. The red head hurried ahead to the other side of the park where the lilac haired male was. Kai lead Garland the same way.

"Hi Bryan," Tala said and sat down beside his friend.

"How are you?" he asked.

"Okay I suppose," Tala replied, dully.

"You know, I've been thinking about something," the red head continued now getting a bit nervous. Love had never been his field of speciality. In fact he never really kissed anyone. Now he was doing this. But it was to help a good friend so he had to pull through. The lilac haired male looked at him.

"About what?" he asked.

"You know you once told me you loved me."

Bryan's eyes widened, "Yes..."

"Well I figured that...I love you too."

Technically it wasn't a lie. Tala was fond of Bryan, as a friend, and love could mean so many things. The lilac haired teen stared at him, shocked.

Kai and Garland must be watching us by now. The red head thought as he leaned closer to Bryan until their lips touched. The kiss wasn't that wonderful. Tala didn't really know what to do, and since Bryan didn't respond...

Kai and Garland watched the two boys kiss. Both of them wanted to switch places with one of the kissing boys, and Kai hoped Bryan would end it soon. He did. The lilac haired male pulled away and stared at Tala.

"You know that has changed don't you," he said, looking the red head in the eye.

"I didn't tell you because I know you don't like him, but I..."

"Fell in love with Garland," Tala finished for him with a smile.

"Yeah I know. We just wanted to make sure Garland realised his feelings."

The red head turned and looked at Kai and Garland, who were now standing in front of them. The silver haired and lilac haired males looked at each other. Then a smile spread across their faces and Bryan got on his feet and into Garland's arms. The room-mates watched as the two of them made out.

"Feeling better now?" Kai asked. The red head grinned.

"Yeah, much better," he said, before the two of them left the two lovers alone.

AmTheLion: That was chapter 9. And finally the story is back on track.

Now I might as well tell all of you now, I'm already thinking of having a sequel to this story, Sakuro High School Graduation. But you don't need to worry, there's still a lot left of this story. But I thought I should let you all know anyway. So what do you think of the idea?
