Eijun didn't know where he was. He remembered the conversation with that mysterious man, and then everything went black. However, that mysterious man was familiar.

Eijun couldn't help but remember those golden eyes, eyes that looked just like his. Eijun felt that the mysterious man was the Eijun that Miyuki had lost, his future self.

It had to of been his future self that tried and give Miyuki closure, it must have been hard seeing the one he loved suffer for so long. So he must have tried to give him another chance in order to help him find happiness again.

It was the only explanation, his future self never would of hated Miyuki for what happened. No, in fact it almost seemed like his own future self was in pain. It seemed like he blamed himself more than anything else.

Eijun could understand that feeling all too well, in fact he knew exactly how his future self must have felt. In a world where Miyuki was unhappy, suffering, and alone was worse than ones own death. At least to him.

He prayed that neither of them had to suffer anymore, that they could finally break free from this cursed road fate seemed to have thrown them on. No more death, and no more separation from one another.

Eventually, Eijun felt something tug at him and the darkness faded. A scene flashed before his eyes. Where was he?

…

When was probably the better question here. How far back did he go? His eyes widened as he felt a tugging sensation on his sleeve.

His eyes turned to meet another pair of familiar eyes. There was a look of desperation, and maybe even relief laced in them. Why?

Why was there relief in these eyes he knew all so well? It was Miyuki staring back at him.

It took only seconds to realize where he was.

No… no it couldn't be! They were at the same spot where Miyuki pulled him out of the way.

He didn't go far back enough to prevent this from happening. Tears stung his eyes, was he going to let this scene happen again? Was he going to let Miyuki die in his place again?

Would he have to suffer the agony of seeing Miyuki lying in a hospital room slowly dying all over again?

He was warned that he could end up anywhere, that he may not even go back far enough to stop anything from happening. Right now if things stayed as they were nothing would change. Fate would remain the same as before, with one of them dead.

NO.

Eijun refused to believe that he could do nothing, that he was helpless once again. He refused to think that he couldn't stop this from happening. It felt like time slowed down.

Eijun could hear the rapid beating of his heart, as he stared at Miyuki's form that seemed to be moving towards certain death. His eyes landed on both of their hands.

Close. Miyuki's wrist wasn't that far from Eijun's own hand, could he somehow use that to his advantage?

Eijun calculated it in his head, his eyes lighting up with desperation. That was it!

Quickly, he twisted his flexible body to the side and launched his hand forwards. He reached as if his life depended on it. He would not miss, he would reach Miyuki's wrist he had to!

He struggled, and shouted out as he managed to grip Miyuki's wrist wildly. Eijun felt himself falling backwards out of the trucks way in the process.

His breathing hitched and he yanked the catcher's body towards his own. He watched as Miyuki's body stopped falling towards the truck and seemed to be crashing into his own body.

He heard the older boy gasp in pain, but Eijun didn't hesitate to wrap his other hand around Miyuki's waist as they fell backwards together.

With a loud thud and a few gasps of pain from both boys, time seemed to speed back up. The truck had missed both of them, and swerved to the side.

Eijun's head hurt, more than it should. Then again, he did land head first into the ground. He didn't think much of it after all he had bigger concerns at the moment. Ignoring the pain that shot up his head, he looked at Miyuki who was on top of him.

Safe.

Not dead.

Safe.

Those were the only thoughts that ran through his head. Tears that threatened to fall earlier were now pouring down. He cried, and despite the pain hugged the elder boy closely to him.

Miyuki seemed to stare at him bewildered, wincing at the sudden embrace. Eijun could easily see that the other boy was shocked at what had just happened.

Miyuki seemed to be in pain, but that didn't stop the other boy from lovingly returning Eijun's embrace.

Eijun buried his head in the nape of Miyuki's neck, as he listened to the elder boy.

Miyuki seemed to be hysterical as well "you… you moron! What where you thinking running off like that and then walking in the middle of the road without thinking?! I thought… I thought that I was going to lose you again" he said emotionally, running a hand through his hair.

Eijun nuzzled him, but stopped as Miyuki pulled back and looked at him carefully "I thought that I could save you… but it looks like you saved me again in the end" he muttered softly.

Eijun looked at him fondly and shook his head "no, no Miyuki it was my fault I should never have run off… you had your reasons for not telling me, I just… I just wanted to be the closest to you, so when you told Kuramochi about your injury before me I thought… I thought you didn't trust me, I'm sorry" he explained, chewing the inside of his cheek.

Miyuki rolled his eyes "are you a moron? I trust you so much… it's just that I… I didn't want to worry you. You know how fussy you can get and I, I didn't want my injury to depress the team. I'm not so good with emotions alright, I should have told you… I should have just told you the truth" he said, sighing.

Eijun shook his head "It's ok, I was just impatient. I was anxious, and I should have trusted you more. If anything it's both of our faults this happened. No more secrets ok, no more hiding things from each other" Eijun said, caressing Miyuki's cheek softly.

Miyuki leaned into Eijun's hand, before kissing the other boy softly. Miyuki then sighed once more "no more secrets huh… will you…. Will you listen to my story? It might sound unreal, but if you'd just bare with me?" he asked.

Eijun nodded softly, he had a good idea what Miyuki was going to tell him. He knew about it already, but still he'll listen to him.

With that Miyuki explained the reason behind his actions, as well as the reason that Miyuki seemed to be on edge. Miyuki also told him how he murdered him in the future, and how he wanted to make things right.

How the story he told that one night to him wasn't a made up story, but was in fact all true.

Eijun simply remained silent as Miyuki finished up. Miyuki seemed depressed now, and when he spoke up Eijun started getting mad "now that you know… now that you know that I killed you, it's ok if you hate me… I deserve it" he said sadly.

Eijun clenched his fists, before grabbing Miyuki's face and shoving their lips together. It was a rough kiss, and their teeth clashed. However, Eijun didn't care. He wanted Miyuki to know just how he felt.

Their lips pressed deeper together, as they melted into one another. After a few minutes of kissing, they broke apart to breath. Eijun's eyes softened "I don't hate you, and don't you ever think that you killed me. I know that I wouldn't have blamed you for it, ever. If anything I would be blaming myself, so stop torturing yourself like this. Please stop hurting yourself!" he cried out.

Miyuki was crying himself now; something that Eijun thought was a rare sight. He hugged the boy closer. No secrets huh? He should tell him, tell him everything. However, Eijun had made a promise not to tell. The words the man said rang in his head:

"my only condition is that you tell no one of this future you came from… not a soul that has no idea of the entire situation that has occurred, do you understand?"

Eijun blinked. Not a soul that had no idea of the entire situation? Eijun's eyes sparkled, and he smiled.

Miyuki looked at him strangely, about to open his mouth to speak but was silenced as Eijun spoke over him "No secrets, it's my turn now" he said.

Eijun looked at him shakily, tears slipping down his cheeks. He felt Miyuki slowly brush them away with his thumb as he motioned him to continue.

Eijun took a deep breath "you died… Miyuki you got hit by the truck instead of me" he blurted out.

Miyuki frowned "what?" he asked.

Eijun gulped "I… in order to save me you pulled me out of the way. By the time I came to, you were surrounded by blood and… and you were injured really badly.

We went to the hospital, but you wouldn't wake up. You just slept on and on, and no matter how much I called out to you to wake up you wouldn't. You were dying and I couldn't do a thing. It was my fault, you gave up your life for mine." He said, chocking up a bit.

Eijun wiped his eyes with his sleeves "I thought… I thought I'd never see you again. That I would never get to pitch to you or go on dates with you… that I wouldn't get to see that stupid smirk or hear that annoying laugh of yours again… I… I felt so lost without you," he sobbed.

Miyuki remained silent, rubbing small circles around Eijun's back as the tried to comfort him. Eijun took that as a sign to continue. "Just when I thought I'd never see you again, that I would lose you forever that's when he came" he whispered.

Miyuki raised a brow, as if this all sounded so familiar.

Eijun looked at him seriously "the man told me that… that your story from that one night we were together was true and that you had come back to save me. I was shocked at first, and that's when I thought what if I could have the same chance you did? I could change what happened, I could save you. The mysterious man refused at first, but eventually caved in.

I think… I think the mysterious figure that gave both you and me another chance to save our future was my future self. The me that died that fateful day. He regretted what had happened, and was suffering from seeing you so broken. So he did what he could to change our fate." He explained.

Miyuki grabbed his head a bit "so… so that's how you saved me, I wondered how you could have possibly grabbed my wrist so quickly even though you weren't aware of what was happening… so you knew about me then?" he asked.

Eijun nodded slowly, "I came back the same way you did, in order to change what fate had written for us" he said. Miyuki hugged him tightly.

Eijun did the same, and they came to an understanding. They would work together, no more secrets.

Their reunion was shattered by a loud voice "You two idiots! I nearly had a heart attack! What if either of you had gotten hit by that truck huh?!" Kuramochi shouted, panting a bit.

Eijun looked at him sheepishly "s… sorry" he said.

Kuramochi glared "sorry my ass! You cost me ten years of my life each! Fuck man, you're even flirting after a near death experience, someone kill me" he said, flinging his hands up in the air.

It was soon that they could all hear alarms blaring as a medical team appeared on the scene. Miyuki and Sawamura were separated and examined. It seemed the Eijun had a mild concussion as well as an ankle sprain.

As for Miyuki, well they found out about his earlier injury as well as some bad scraps on his legs. Other than that, the two of them would live.

After a week went by, Eijun was more of less healthy. He needed to be careful, but other than that he could do some light exercises. As for Miyuki, well he was out for longer. However, whenever Eijun had free time they were always together.

It didn't take long before the team pretty much knew they were an item, not the either of them minded. They were simply basking in the presence of each other.

It was fun, but there was still the Kuramochi issue. Every time Eijun thought he had alone time together with Miyuki, Kuramochi would show up unannounced and ruin everything.

It was like the guy knew exactly when to walk in on them. They'd be kissing, touching one another. Sometimes they'd be so lost in each other's eyes that they'd ignored him. That resulted in making Kuramochi grab Eijun's ear and drag him off of Miyuki and onto the seat beside him.

He'd always lecture about how Eijun shouldn't climb on top of Miyuki and suck on his lips like they were candy. Eijun tried to tell Kuramochi that is was Miyuki's seduction, but that didn't seem to do much.

Damn four-eyes would just laugh, stupid boyfriend!

However, even if it seemed like Eijun was mad he wasn't. He was happy, and relieved that he was together with Miyuki once again. No matter what hardships they faced, as long as they could be together nothing would stop them.

Eijun smiled to himself, there was nothing better than the feeling he had right now. Miyuki stopped cracking jokes as he looked at Eijun "hey what are you daydreaming about? Are you dreaming about me holding you and doing naughty things to you" he asked teasing, a smirk making its way to his lips.

Eijun just smiled as he rolled his eyes "In your dreams, I think it's the other way around senpai… and I wasn't thinking about anything in particular" he said, whistling.

Eijun couldn't help but smile even wider. There was just one thing that he was thinking of. That as long as they were together, nothing could stop them. Not even death, and not even fate.

Because together they only had one chance, one life, and one goal: To be together no matter what, and to survive together.
