Quarter Eight

One broken heart gets two people together...

It took a lot of courage for Kouki to answer Akashi's call and not just ignore it and now he is facing another dilemma knocking at the door where Akashi is he's been telling himself to do it to get things over with but no matter what he can't get himself to do it. After club activities he had rushed to meet up with Akashi's driver who's already at the entrance. The driver had drove him to the hotel where he was told Akashi's waiting for him.

Its been six months since he last seen Akashi and now they're one door apart from each other he didn't know if he could take to see his ex boyfriend again.

"If we see each other now what should I even say to him?" Kouki thought to himself. After seems like an eternity he steeled his heart and his resolve lifting his hand to let Akashi know about his presence when the door open itself and on the other side of it was the man he once loved. And maybe still loves.

Once he saw the glimpse of his face Akashi's face he immediately notices the red heads mismatch eyes...

Kouki's tears started to gather at the side of his eyes his heart starts to beat faster and when he started to speak he almost forgot how to breathe.

"I've been waiting."

it was Akashi but he wasn't his Sei-chan...

"A-Akashi-kun."

"Come in Kouki." Akashi said as he step away from the doorway to let him in to which he did.

Kouki stepped into the room his heart beat furiously he look back at the closing door at the corner of his eye and once the door close it wouldn't open again till morning.

"I thought I told you not to bring me anywhere you please." Kagami said in irritation as Nina drag him by his arm.

"What's the big deal? Let's just hang out like we used to do before I mean it's the weekend Taiga no school no practice so let's just enjoy!" Nina said as she tighten her hold on the red head's arm leading the tiger as they walk down the grand hallway of the hotel. "You've been so irritable since last night what's gotten into you?"

What's gotten into him? Kagami scoffed, he was pretty tick off that ever since last night after club activities he had hope that he could talk to Kouki but he was told by their coach that the brunette had already left and when he tried to pay him a visit on his apartment he wasn't there he also tried to call him but Kouki wasn't answering. It's easy to say that his night had been full of frustration. And now Nina is dragging him wherever she please.

"Taigaaa~" Nina sang.

"Whatever." Kagami shrugged his shoulders he had gave up getting her arms off him its a useless struggle since the more he pry her arm away from him she just tightening her hold around him like a snake will do to his prey.

"Okay we're here!" Nina announce happily as stopped in front her hotel room.

"Finally." Kagami grumbled as he massage his aching arm he had lost the feeling of it since Nina kept on tightening his hold on it.

"Wait just a bit I'll get my key card." Nina said more to herself as she started to search for the key of her room inside her bag.

Kagami sighs as he stand next to his childhood friend and wait for her to find the key to her room from the corner of his eyes he saw a familiar figure coming out of room next door. His heart beat quicken once he has full view of Kouki coming out of the room. And what's got his full attention is the visible tears coming out Kouki's already swollen eyes.

"Kou...ki?" Kagami said slowly.

"K-Kagami-kun?" Kouki stuttered as he sees the red head with Nina.

"Kouki." Kagami's crimson eyes widen as another red head come out of the room where the brunette is.

His confusion turn to anger the next thing he knew surprises the two other teen and even himself as he grabbed the other red head's collar upwards his dark crimson eyes meets the mismatch hues of the red head.

"Let go off me." Akashi gave him a dangerous look.

"Taiga what are you doing?!"

"K-Kagami-kun it's fine let him go please!" Kouki begged.

Kagami growled but he let go of the red head roughly if it wasn't for Kouki begging he would have done much more.

"Taiga hey what's going on?" Nina demanded as she stand next to the taller red head.

"I'll call Chusuke to bring you home." Akashi said to the brunette.

"N-No its fine I can go home by myself." in shame Kouki left in a hurry.

"Why did you even consider meeting up with him Kouki? You're so stupid!" Kouki scolded himself as he remember what happened last night.

...

"Come back to me..."

"Eh?" Kouki's eyes widen in surprise, did Akashi just told him to come back to him?

"Come back and live with me in Kyoto." Akashi repeated as he sits down the couch his crimson eyes focus on the brunette's hazel once.

"W-Why?" Kouki wanted to know why Akashi wants him to come back to him...
He wanted to know why.

"What do you mean 'why'..."

"I want to know why you want me come back...I-I want to know..." Kouki said quietly while he play with his hand on his lap. He was getting nervous so nervous for Akashi's answer. But what if Akashi told him his reason will he agree to come back to him? Does he want to be together again? Or not? if Akashi told him he still love him what will he say? Then there's Kagami...he's so confused...

"You know why Kouki..."

"A-Akashi-kun...I..."

"Akashi-kun? Is that all I am to you Kouki?" Akashi said as if he was hurt.

"P-Please Akashi-kun d-don't change the subject." Kouki said timidly he didn't know why Akashi's prolonging this matter he wants to know his answer now.

"W-What am I to you Akashi-kun."

"I love you Kouki..." Akashi sighed.

"E-Eh..." Kouki's heart quicken hearing Akashi said those three little words to him made him tear up.

"That's what you wanted me to say right?" The red head continued.

"A-Akashi-kun?"

"Don't get me wrong I still love you Kouki but you understand why we can't right now.." There are two reasons why they broke up one was what happened back in Teikou and second was... Kouki shook his head forcing himself not to think about more depressing thoughts. The most important thing was he concluded that the man who's standing next to him was still not the man he loves but the reflection of the man he once was.

And that broke his heart once again.

Kouki didn't know how long he had kept on running from that horrible, awful place. His legs were protesting against the unbearable and unexpected pain, his heart felt like it will break any moment, and salty tears continued to stream down his cheeks. He felt helpless as he finally collapsed onto the ground, hugging his knees close to his chest. I probably look like a lost puppy in the middle of a crowded street, he thought miserably. If only things didn't change if only his Sei-chan was here to tell him things are going to be alright his Sei-chan will tell him what to do...

If only he didn't change...they'll still be together...

It was a big mistake meeting Akashi last night it was a huge mistake if he didn't met up with him he wouldn't have feel this pain again. It was Akashi but it wasn't his Sei-chan how can he be so dumb? He knew this already from the start but his dumb naive heart just wouldn't listen to his brain. And now look at what happen...

"Kouki?"

He froze. He knew that voice.

"K-Kagami-kun?"

Indeed, it was the glowing Kagami kneeling down before him like he was Prince Charming.

"Are you alright?" Kagami smiled, handing out a wrinkled tissue from his pocket and began wiping the tears off of Kouki's cheeks. With this free hand, he rearranged his auburn locks, wet and sticky on his face, and brushed it behind his ear. The gentle act of kindness from him made his heart ache even more. He couldn't help himself but to hug him for support and comfort; right now at this very moment he didn't care if they were in the middle of the sidewalk, or that bystanders were scrutinizing and bad-mouthing them for publicly displaying affection right now. Right now, he's the only person who understands him in this world.

Right now he needs a shoulder to cry on.
