When I Don't Remember

Disclaimers : I'm thinking about turning my hair color into red but that won't change the fact that I don't own the boys! Ah and the song used in this chapter is Written In The Stars sung by the handsome lads in Westlife. Irish accents *drools* Hrm well *cough cough* I don't own this song nor do I own the lads *damnit!* Don't sue me because well let's face it, I'm so poor I can't even afford to pay attention *faints* Okay that joke was sooooo old and sooooo very very lame!

Warnings : Yaoi, OCC, might be some sap and stuff like that here. Oh and of course this is the last chapter *phew* Never thought this damn thing would get done *ARGH*

Notes : Stuff written in Italic are thoughts.

Chapter 17. Written In The Stars

Ken waited impatiently for someone to show up and tell him that he could go back into Ran's hospital-room. He didn't want to be apart from his lover for two seconds so he kept on pacing the long corridor. What was taking so long?

"Hidaka-san?" The brunette jumped in surprise and turned around.

"Hai?"

"You can go in now," a nurse said and smiled at him. Ken almost ran into the room and straight up to his lover. The redhead seemed to be asleep but it didn't matter to him as long as he could see him, feel him. Ken sat down beside the bed and gently took Ran's hand.

"What took you so long?"

"Blame the nurses," the brunette smiled and hugged the hand tighter. "Did I wake you?"

"I was just resting," Ran murmured and opened his eyes slightly. "And waiting for you." The door opened again and the two blondes came in.

"Ran-kun!" Omi exclaimed and ran up to their leader, giving the somewhat shocked redhead a hug.

"Easy there Omi," Ran chuckled and ruffled the little blonde's hair. Omi blushed and let go.

"Sorry I'm just so glad that you're okay."

"We're all glad," Yoji grinned and patted the redhead's shoulder. Ran gave the lanky playboy an amused look.

"I'm glad to be back," he admitted and returned his attention to his brown haired lover. "Very glad." Ken blushed a little and intwined their fingers.

"Come on Omi let's leave them alone before they get even more mushy," Yoji snickered and winked at the brunette.

"Shut up Kudou!" Ran barked but there was no anger or annoyance in his voice.

"Yes oh fearless leader," the lanky blonde grinned and saluted him.

"Baka!" Yoji wiggled his butt at the redhead and strolled out the door. Ken smiled after him and carefully took a seat on the bed.

"You okay?" He turned to his lover and nodded.

"I'm fine Ran, you?"

"Still feel like I could sleep around the clock but other than that… I just want to go home with you koi," the redhead murmured and pulled Ken closer.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Fujimiya-san?" Ran opened his eyes at the sound of his name and blinked a few times. He must have fallen asleep and Ken was still lying beside him. His sleepy gaze landed on the face of an old man. At first he didn't recognize him. Ran licked his lips and swallowed.

"Oyabun-sama," he said respectfully and lowered his head. The old japanese man returned the greeting and stepped into the room, followed by two bodyguards.

"I'm glad to see that you're doing better."

"I don't mean to be rude but what can I do for you?" Ran asked evenly. The leader of the clan yakuza gave him a small smile as one of his bodyguards fetched him a chair.

"Nothing, Fujimiya-san, nothing. I believe that you and Hidaka-san have done more than enough already," he nodded and sat down. "I'm only here to make sure that we understand each other." Ran narrowed his eyes.

"Understand each other?"

"Hai. I understand that I can't go after you without having Kritiker all over my family and you understand that if you decide to put the blame for this on me I will have no other choice than to take actions," the old man said calmly. "I am correct when I assume that we understand each other?" The redhead smirked. It was a threat, a promise, but it worked both ways.

"Oyabun-sama we understand each other completely," he said with a slightly amused tone in his deep voice. "I also hope that we both understand what will happen if someone from your… 'family' decides to hurt someone from mine."

"Trust me Fujimiya-san none of my family-members are out to get any of yours. Actually most of us are grateful for all the problems Hidaka-san solved for us. May I ask you a question?" Ran nodded. "What happened to the man called Schuldig?"

"I'm not sure actually. All I know is that he helped us for some strange reason then he chose to disappeare," the redhead shrugged.

"Ah, well then." The old man rose and sighed. "I do apologize for all the problems this has caused you and your family. This was not meant to happen at all." Ran raised an eyebrow in shock.

"Apology accepted," he mumbled with a nod. The man who probably had more power than anyone else in Tokyo lowered his head before he left.

"That was quite um interesting." Ran chuckled softly at his lover's words.

"Quite interesting indeed," he agreed.

Stay with me
Don't fall asleep too soon
The angels can wait for a moment
Come real close
Forget the world outside
Tonight we're alone
It's finally you and I

It wasn't meant to feel like this
Not without you

Cos when I look at my life
How the pieces fall into place
It just wouldn't rhyme without you
When I see how my path
Seem to end up before your face
The state of my heart
The place where we are
Was written in the stars

Ran looked at the man resting against his chest and smiled. He had only been home for a few hours and hadn't left his bedroom yet. Ken insisted that he'd stay in bed just for a few more days to make sure the redhead was really okay. Although Ran suspected that his lover had a hidden agenda since he probably wouldn't get much rest there anyway. Not that he cared, they were finally at home again, together.

"Ken? Koi don't fall asleep yet," the redhead murmured and caressed Ken's cheek.

"I'm awake, sort of." Brown eyes opened a little and looked at him.

"Good." Slender pale fingers ran over sun-kissed skin. "I never thought I would be here with you again." Ken brought his lover's hand to his lips and kissed it.

"You weren't the only one Ran."

Don't be afraid
I'll be right by your side
Through the laughter and pain
Together we're bound to fly

I wasn't meant to love like this
Not without you

Cos when I look at my life
How the pieces fall into place
It just wouldn't rhyme without you
When I see how my path
Seem to end up before your face
The state of my heart
The place where we are
Was written in the stars

Ken pulled himself further up and sought out Ran's lips. It almost felt unreal to be back in their bed, in their room again. He sighed into the kiss and drew in the redhead's spicy scent.

"I love you Ran," the brunette said softly when they broke apart. Ran wrapped his arms around him and let out a contented sigh.

"I love you too Ken, always." Those words would always be the ones Ken loved to hear the most. Relaxed and happy he cuddled closer. He had never been meant to love like this, not without Ran.

"Can I go to sleep now?" Ken asked and placed a kiss on the redhead's chest.

"Hm? Oh of course."

"And you'll be here when I wake up, ne?" Fingers ran through his hair.

"I'll be right here by your side Ken," Ran answered quietly. The brunette relaxed again. They were both safe but inside he still had a flicker of fear left, a fear that his lover would disappear. "Ken…"

"Mm."

"Stop that! I'll always be here, I don't want to be anywhere else." The brunette chuckled softly. Ran knew him too well sometimes.

"Sorry koi. I'll go to sleep now." He got a soft kiss on the hair.

"I'm right behind you," the redhead mumbled with a yawn.

Ken closed his eyes and listened to his lover's heartbeat. They had been there for each other through laughter, pain, love, amnesia, confusion, happiness and even though they had been separated several times they had always found their way back to each other again. Almost asleep the brunette couldn't help to think that something like that had had to be written in the stars.

I made a few mistakes, yeah
Like sometimes we do
Been through lot of heartache
But I made it back to you

Cos when I look at my life
How the pieces fall into place
It just wouldn't rhyme without you
And when I see how my path
Seem to end up before your face
The state of my heart
The place where we are
Was written in the stars

The state of my heart
The place where we are
Was written in the stars
