Hey guys. Long time no see, huh? Yeah, things around here have been.. different. But peaceful. I m out of school now, until I apply for college, and I m working part-time too. So my life is going through a lot of changes, plus I've recently lost a few people that were important figures in my life, so that drained me for a while. But hey, life goes on.

I just wanted to say thank you for sticking with me, and being amazing reviewers and everything! You guys really give me motivation for writing more. Thank you all~

QueenHelba- Thank you! I like to think I do my crazy Kiryu well ;_; And yes, I find it harder to write when I m feeling rushed, but I got this~ Thank you for the constant reviews!


Crow swallowed, and winced as he tried to stretch. "When did I pass out?"

"Right after you Kiryu.. Walked away from you."

Crow's eyes widened. "Th…that.. bastard.." He grabbed on to Yuusei's shoulder, shaking him, which cause pain for the both of them. "Y-You saw what he did! Didn't you?" Yuusei pushed Crow's hands down carefully and nodded sadly.

Crow pulled his hands back and clenched his fists. "He was all over you! He ran to YOU first!" He said, and Yuusei looked away, nodding at everything he said.

He was quite shocked too. Crow hopped out of bed, exclaiming the fact that he was going to fucking kill his significant other before falling flat on his stomach. "Crow!" Yuusei yelled, pulling him up. "Your ankle is still sprained, you need to stay in bed." He said, but still Crow kicked and struggled. "I need to fucking punch that fucker's lights out, Yuusei!" Yuusei pushed him forcefully to the bed and shook his head. "I'll get him for you," He stood up and left the room, leaving Crow sprawled on the bed and ready to punch the hell out of something.

Kiryu entered a few minutes later and Crow delivered a punch to his face as soon as he was close enough. Kiryu stumbled back and held his bruised cheek. "..What the hell was that for?"

"What do you think?" Crow huffed, not feeling very satisfied after just one punch.

Kiryu stared at him. You could see one and two being put together inside of his head via his golden eyes. Kiryu ignored the pain in his cheek and hopped on to the bed and quickly gathered up Crow in his arms. "Crow.. I'm so sorry.. I'm sorry.."

Crow placed his hands on the taller boy's stomach and tried to push him away. "'Sorry"'s not gonna cut it!" He said, not wanting to be touched, even if it was Kiryu. "You fucking left me! I couldn't walk and you just left me! And you fucking went after YUUSEI before you even LOOKED at me!" Crow screamed, his throat becoming raspy at the last syllable. He had his hands on Kiryu's chest, tightening around the fabric of his shirt. Even though he was telling him to leave him alone, Crow wanted him so bad to stay by his side. That's all he's ever really wanted all this time.

"I..I know.. I'm sorry.." Kiryu lowered his head and placed his hands on Crow's fists that balled up on his shirt. "I.. wasn't thinking.. My mind just went blank.." He shuddered. Crow sighed and nodded. He 'zoned out' again.

"J-Just…" Crow was done screaming. "Don't do th-that again.." He placed his forehead on Kiryu's collarbone and bit his lip. "I was f-fucking s-scared.. You dumbass-!" He choked out a gasp as tears sprang from his eyes. Crow didn't like to cry often. But after his heart being stepped on, and being shot twice..

Kiryu wrapped his arms around him and pulled the boy into his lap. Kiryu would do this when Crow was upset, angry or hurt. Kiryu hadn't done this in a while, so Crow's heart skipped a beat when he was pulled so close. Kiryu didn't say a word and just held him tight while Crow cried. Crow might've even thought that Kiryu was zoning out again. At the moment, he didn't care. He just wanted to cry.

_

Crow overestimated the guy's strength, for he was able to walk, barely, on his sprained ankle the next day. Crow liked to think his bones were made of steel. He still had to cling on to a wall or furniture to get around, but it was better than nothing. He walked, or more like limped, out of his room and down the hall to the living room. He found Yuusei and Jack sitting down together. Jack was sitting on the couch, with his leg over the other like he usually does. Yuusei was on top of him, straddling his lap comfortably as Jack's higher knee kept the boy from falling back. Yuusei held on to Jack's shoulders softly, running his thumb affectionately over the skin.

The scene didn't look sexual or anything of the sort. It looked cozy. Yuusei had his eyes closed with a big smile on his face, while Jack had the same expression. Yuusei leaned in and nuzzled Jack's cheek with his, causing a small snicker from the larger one. The bi-colored hair boy was usually never the one to make the first move or initiate anything, but he seemed very elated today. Maybe it was a "Thank God I'm alive" feeling and he was taking advantage of it. Either way, Yuusei was still nuzzling.

Jack leaned in and ran the bridge of his nose up Yuusei's jaw line, and then to his cheekbone, caressing him softly. Jack had his hands locked in fingers behind Yuusei's lower back, as a way of saying "You're not getting away from my snuggles" While Yuusei had his body pressed to his, as a way of saying "I wouldn't even think of doing such a thing."

This whole scene was so sensual and intimate. They were nuzzling and cuddling like lovesick kitty cats, just enjoying each other's presence and thanking God that the he or the other was still with him.

Right, speaking of sick. Crow looked on in envy. It was as if there was love and fluff and everything cute radiating from the couple. Crow missed lovey-dovey and affectionate Kiryu. Crow sighed and left the room. Only in his dreams, he guessed.

Crow limped into the other room, where Kiryu was sitting at a desk with his deck laid out. Kiryu looked up from his cards and ran to Crow. "You should be in bed, Crow!" He exclaimed, embracing Crow and holding him up, being mindful of the bullet wounds. Crow grinned and shook his head. "I'm fine, don't worry." Kiryu lifted him up and sat him on his chair, running his hand down Crow's cheek once he was sitting. "How are you feeling today?"

Crow nuzzled the hand. "I'm feeling alright." He said, leaning his head in for Kiryu, expecting a kiss. Kiryu pulled back, standing up and looking down at Crow.

He had that blank look in his eyes again. That same look that reminded Crow of that night a long time ago.

Thump thump thump-!

Screaming.

Kiryu.

Nights were filled with Kiryu's fists banging against the wall, Kiryu's cries, begging for Yuusei to come back to him, and that he was sorry. It had been a few months since Yuusei had broken up with Kiryu. And Kiryu was a wreak. During the day he would be fine, but at night, when things started to settle down, he would break. He would hit the wall, break things, scream and shout and cry.

Crow would be there for him, picking up the pieces of whatever broke, wiping his tears away, calming his sobs. Every night.

But for the past few nights, things were quiet.

This could be very good, or very bad. Kiryu could be gone. Kiryu could have gotten over it. Whatever it was, Crow was enjoying a quiet night.

He was suddenly shook awake. Crow groaned and swatted at the one above him. "Nnng.. Go away, I'm sleeping.."

"Crow.." His name slipped past Kiryu's lips and left chills.

Crow sat up and yawned. "Hey.. What's wrong?"

"Come with me.." Kiryu whispered, taking Crow's hand.

The boy nodded tiredly and followed Kiryu into his room. Crow figured that he needed someone to cry on again, or to just talk to, like he did many nights before.

The last thing Crow heard was a door shut and lock. Then he felt lips against his. Crow mumbled and pushed Kiryu back. "Ki-Kiryu! What are you doing?" Oh, but he didn't want Kiryu to stop. This was his dream come true. Who wouldn't want to be kissed by their crush? But something didn't seem right about this.

"Crow.. Please.." He muttered, slamming Crow against the wall. He pressed his lips to Crow's neck and sucked gently. He grabbed Crow's crotch and squeezed, causing the smaller one to let out a yelp. All of this seemed to happen without hesitation.

"H-Hey! Kiryu! St-..Aahhh!" Crow moaned as Kiryu rubbed small circles of his palm into Crow's groin. Crow placed his foot to the wall and pushed away from him, but Kiryu just slammed him back to the wall, roughly. Crow winced and shook his head. "What the fuck are you doing?"

Kiryu kissed him softly on the lips. Just softly. "I don't want the other to wake up.." He whispered, placing loving kisses to his lips. Just loving. Which was confusing the hell out of Crow. "N-No.. Kiryu, stop.." He mumbled, trying to push away from the taller one as he began to tug at his shirt.

"We both know you want this,"

Crow froze and he felt his stomach drop. "Wh..What?"

It all seemed to happen so fast. Crow was pushed against the wall, holding on to Kiryu's shoulders as he pounded into him. In and out, in and out, occasionally stopping to rotate himself inside of Crow's body, causing the other to scream in pleasure. All that was heard was Crow's yelps and moans, and the sound of slapping skin. Kiryu was completely silent.

Kiryu took Crow in his arms and gently placed him on the bed. Crow felt a hand trailing around his face, measuring every curve and contour, and staring at him, admiring his face and the beauty of the boy recovering from his orgasm. Crow swatted the hand away, mumbling something in annoyance.

The next morning, Kiryu woke up to the feeling of being punched in the face, by actually getting punched in the face. Kiryu growled and opened his eyes, seeing a half naked Crow above him, holding his fists up and ready to give out more of those punches. "You jackass! What the hell was that for?" Crow yelled.

Kiryu blinked lazily and looked around. "…I think I should be asking you that."

"I… you… we….. Yeah.." Crow mumbled, hiding under the covers. Everything came back to Kiryu and he just smiled. He pulled Crow in his arms and slid the covers under the boy's chin. "I'm sorry if it caught you off guard, it was just something I've been holding in for a while.." He whispered as Crow moved to snuggle against him.

"I like you, Crow."

"Crow?"

And just like that, he was snapped out of his thoughts. The man he had been thinking about was back at his desk and looking at him. "Do you want to lay down?"

"H-Huh? ….Oh.. Will you come with me?"

Kiryu smiled and let out a soft sigh. "Sure." He set down his cards and helped Crow to the bed. Crow flopped on the bed and snuggled into the pillows. It had been a while since he laid down here. The last time he was here, Kiryu was upset about Yuusei. But that hadn't happened in a while, so in a way, he was thankful that he didn't come back to this bed.

Kiryu laid down next to Crow and pulled him into a loving embrace and kissed his forehead. Crow felt butterflies in his stomach, as he leaned up and pressed his lips against Kiryu's. The taller boy accepted the kiss and pulled Crow in closer, tilting his head to the side and deepening the kiss.

Crow was overjoyed, and just clung on to Kiryu, wishing this moment would last forever.
