A/N: First off I'd like to start by saying I'm so sorry it's been forever! Real life has not been kind to me for the longest time now. Between trying to stay sane amongst fights, lack of internet, worrying about work, and having a bad a health diagnosis as of late it's been a weird and daunting year. But hopefully the worst is over. I have the internet back so my goal is to update at least every two weeks. If anyone is still reading please R&R! This is going to be a filler chapter just to get into the swing of things. I will update by Sunday with a long chapter!

A Million Little Lies

Horo sighed as he shakily picked up his cell phone.

"Hey you" he said, his voice cracking a bit.

"Hey yourself. Are you alright, Horo?"

Horo's cerulean eyes darted to the dimly lit bathroom causing his stomach to wrench in guilt.

"I-I'm find babe….Just tired….and lonely….I miss you so much"

"I miss you too, love. I'll be home by nightfall tomorrow. I can't wait to see you"

The tears fell down harder as his body began shaking.

"I-I can't wait Lian. I really can't…"

Ren quirked an eyebrow in concern as he laid down in his old bed.

"..Are you sure you're ok, Horokeu?"

Horo furiously rubbed his eyes as he willed himself to calm down.

"I'm sure hon."

"Alright. I'll see tomorrow Horokeu. Wo ai ni!"

The Ainu punched the mattress in anger.

'….Lian…..' he thought, depressed at the events that he allowed to transpire.

He didn't deserve to hear those words come from his love's mouth.

"Aishiteru Yo"

But he'd be damned before he stopped hearing those words.

After hanging up, a petite redhead exited the bathroom. Her emerald eyes shined wickedly as she looked at his exposed chest.

"How about we go for the Hat Trick?"

A/N: Once again this is a semi-filler. The continuation will be posted by Sunday. As always I own nothing.
