Noir walked down the street alone. Egypt was hotter than what he was used to but he wouldn't complain. There were markets out by the street, people yelling, people that looked sneaky. But no one paid any attention to the dark haired man, who- as he said- didn't stick out at all. His skin was as dark as theirs, his hair as black. There were so many people trying to ignore the shop keepers that they wouldn't have noticed him even if he were walking down the street talking to himself.

He'd left this morning and had arrived around noon. Now it was about 6pm and he was on his way back to his apartment. Noir had rented a small, kind of old apartment. He had no need for anything special, seeing as how he wouldn't be here long. Just as he was beginning to get bored of all the conformity down here, of all the look-a-likes, he saw blonde hair.

The blonde walked along, looking quite interested in his surroundings. A few people glanced at this man. Not because he was so different and stuck out like a sore thumb-as the saying goes- but because he was simply eye-catching.

Florian walked along, wondering if he'd see Noir anytime soon. He knew, of course, where Noir was staying. He knew Noir's whole schedule, since he'd helped make it. A dark man walked up to him and grabbed him by the upper arm. Florian tried to get away but could not escape the man's steely grasp. He was pulled into an alley and slammed against the wall. He glared at the other man then gasped suddenly.

"N-Noir?" He asked, looking at the familiar emerald eyes.

The other man rolled his eyes.

"Who the hell did you think it was?" Noir said, annoyed. Without waiting for an answer he asked another question.

"And just what do you think you're doing here?" He demanded.

Florian gave the brunette defiant eyes. Noir sighed and looked around. Those that had looked at the two jerked their heads to face another direction or hurried away. This man was obviously dangerous. Florian looked at the observers. You don't know the half of it. He silently told them. Noir's hand fell away from the blonde's arm.

"Come on. We will discuss this further in my apartment." He said.

Florian watched a few Egyptian girls blush at that. He imaged what they must be thinking. If only it were something not wrought from pain and anger. His mind said. He sighed and followed Noir. He's probably going to yell at me and whip me… Florian stared at the back of Noir, as if trying to read the younger man's mind. Noir had certainly looked mad about seeing him here. Out of nowhere, Florian was wondering if Noir had ever been in a relationship. The thief was a charmer- that he'd seen with his own eyes. But had he ever kissed, hugged... loved anyone?

Noir led the way into the apartment room. He frowned when he saw that Florian had already been in here and had put a bag in the floor near the bed. Right, he helped me plan all of this so he knows my schedule… Noir sighed and turned to face Florian. The blond stood his ground, held his head high, and waited for Noir to carry on.

"Why are you here?" Noir asked.

"I…," Florian began but swallowed and continued.

"You shouldn't be here by yourself. And besides what else am I going to do? Did you think about that? It's boring without you-" Florian stopped and looked away slightly.

Noir looked away, blushing slightly.

Why the hell am I blushing?

He said it's boring without me…

But that doesn't explain the blush... it's nothing special…

It is though…

I should go somewhere or at least stop blushing…

So Noir turned towards the bathroom and kicked off his shoes. Florian was now blushing slightly, but Noir couldn't see it. He watched Noir. This is awkward… do I say something? He ran his hand through his hair.

"I'm going to take a shower." Noir announced.

He went into the bathroom and left Florian to stand there wondering if he should be embarrassed too badly or not. It's not like… He tried to defend himself but there was nothing to say. It was boring without Noir. He suddenly felt as if life had gotten more complicated.

A/N: Ok, I'm running out of time today so I'll write more tomorrow. Sorry if you don't like how short the chapters are. I promise I'll write a big long steamy chapter in a few days or so. First I have to get a few short chapters down. And if you like yaoi you are in luck because so do I and I love to write it. I'm going to have Kingdom Hearts, Gravitation, Loveless and maybe more yaoi stories up someday. Best of wishes!
