There comes a knock on the door. The two boys freeze. "Jou, its Sei. I need to talk to you," murmurs Sei through the door. Teki and Jou stare at one another for a moment. "Shit," mutters Jou. Teki rolls his eyes. The violet eyed boy jumps up from the bed and starts pulling on his clothes. Teki pulls the blankets over his pale flesh. He curls up, as if he were asleep.
Jou finishes pulling on his shirt and opens the door. He puts on a broad smile. "Sei! How are you?" he asks jubilantly. Sei's blue eyes look up at Jou. He studies his face. And then notices the black outline about his eye. "So the brute did punch you," murmurs Sei, looking off to the side and looking irritated.
The aurbun haired boy picks up Sei's hand. "Yeah, he did. I merely asked if you were in and he punched me. He's just jealous," says Jou softly. Sei nods his strawberry blonde head, and lets out a long sigh.
Jou brings Sei's hand to his lips, and kisses it gently. Sei looks back to Jou, and smiles. "You wouldn't flirt with him would you?" asks Sei innocently. Jou shakes his head. "Of course not. He's too stuck up," says Jou, making a face. Sei chuckles a bit.
Sei leans his head against Jou, and he closes his eyes. "He told me last night that you flirted with him. I can't believe he tried to break us up," says Sei, sounding very relieved. "Yeah," murmurs Jou. He rests his hands on Sei's waist. His face nuzzles the mess of strawberry blonde locks.
"Teki's sleeping. But we could wake him up," says Jou with a suggestive tone. Sei looks up at him once more. "Again?" he asks in an almost whimper. Jou tightens his grip around the other boy's waist. "I love hearing you scream and moan. Seeing you so exposed turns me on," says Jou into Sei's frightened eyes.
"But it hurts," murmurs Sei. Jou smiles deviously. "You'll get used to it," he smirks. Sei gulps, and with that Jou pulls him into the room, closing and locking the door behind them.
The night calls out to him in his sleep. Sei sits up abruptly. He glances to and frow. And then notices moonlight gleaming off of familiar shining strands. "Heizen, what are you doing up at this hour?" asks Sei between gasps of breath.
Heizen turns to the other Seme, holding a small bag over his shoulder. "I am breaking free," says Heizen. Sei gets up slowly from the bed. "You're what?" he repeats, sounding quite shocked. "I am breaking free. Leaving," murmurs Heizen. "That's impossible," says Sei. "Genmu almost fulfilled the dream of freedom," murmurs Heizen. He heads for the door.
Sei grips onto his sleeve. "And we both know what happened to him," says Sei sharply. Heizen looks over his shoulder at Sei. His silver eyes glow in the moonlight's rays. "And why do you care if I am beheaded?" asks Heizen.
Speechlessness overwhelms the other Seme. He bites his lips, then murmurs, "Because, you're like a brother to me," Heizen pulls his shirt away from Sei. "There is nothing for me here. I want to leave, and I will do so," murmurs Heizen. The blue eyes stand by themselves, staring at Heizen. Their gaze is half saddened, half lost.
Sei looks down, and then holds up his hand. He pries the ring off his finger, and holds it out to Heizen. "If your not coming back," starts Sei. "Stop trying to give me back that ring. I gave it to you, therefore you keep it," scolds Heizen, gripping tighter to his bag. "But," starts Sei again. "Keep it. Please. And when ever you look at it," Heizen says, his tone abruptly becoming soft. He looks over at Sei and reaches his hand over. Ever so slowly he drags his fingers through some of Sei's loose locks. "Think of me," he finishes softly.
Blue eyes become watery all of the sudden. Sei puts his hand over Heizen's, no words coming from his lips. Heizen smiles slightly. The darkness hides his expression from view. "Why are you not telling me to back off?" he asks. "Your touch feels nice. It always feels nice," whispers Sei. The silver-eyed Seme caresses Sei's cheek with his thumb, and then pulls his hand away. "You have Jou to touch you. I don't have that right," Heizen says flatly.
He walks from the room and Sei follows him. "Heizen?" he asks mournfully. "Yes?" replies the other Seme. "Don't get caught," says Sei. The light blonde Seme stops in his tracks. "Thank you," he replies gently. He then walks, once more, towards the crystal door. He puts his hand on the knob. "So long, Sei," he murmurs. The door clicks open, and he steps a foot out. "Good bye," says Sei quietly. The door closes with a similar click, and he is gone.
Sei feels himself fall upon the couch. The darkness blurs into an ugly mix of blacks and blues. He winces and lets out a snuffed cry, putting his face in his hands.
"He left?" asks Jou again. Sei nods, looking off to the side. Jou does not make a sound. He, instead, leans over by Sei and pats him on the shoulder. "There, there," he says gently. Sei replies with silence. "Look on the bright side. You have this nice room to yourself," says Jou cheerily.
Silence replies to Jou once more. He sighs. "You'll be fine in a day or so," murmurs Jou, pulling Sei to him. The strawberry blonde turns his head to the side, receiving a kiss from the other upon his cheek. "Since we're alone," starts Jou with a hint filled tone. "I am not in the mood," mutters Sei.
Jou looks at him oddly, his face contorted into a humorous mix of disappointment with annoyance. "Well I'll just have to fix that," replies Jou. He reaches his hand down along Sei's side and slips a few fingers down his pants slowly. Sei pulls away from Jou, freeing himself. "I told you, I don't feel like it," says Sei, a bit more forceful.
"You're being silly," says Jou, grabbing Sei by the arms. The blue eyed teen shakes his head and pulls away. "Stop it!" he yells. Jou stops finally, and looks at Sei, his expression becoming serious. "You're really bent up about him aren't you?" asks Jou.
Sei looks off to the side. "I had an attachment to him… Yes… not like you but… he felt like family to me," murmurs Sei. Jou rolls his eyes. "Seriously, forget him for now. Let me take your mind off him," says Jou, smiling seductively. Sei shakes his head again. "Why not?" asks Jou, sounding once more irritated.
"I just don't want to. You're always so rough," mumbles Sei. "I thought you liked it rough," says Jou. "Not till I am bleeding! Not till I can barely move! Not till my nipples are black and blue!" yells Sei. Jou displays an expression of surprise. "Alright, alright!" says Jou, putting his hands up in surrender. "I'll be more gentle,".
"Just go," says Sei, turning away from Jou. "But Sei," starts Jou, about to set his hands upon the blue-eyed boy's shoulder. Sei swats his hands away. "Go!" yells Sei. Jou silences his tongue. He steps back from Sei. "Feel better soon," he murmurs. He leaves through the door quietly, leaving Sei alone in the large apartment.
The door closes softly. Sei walks to the window, and looks out it mournfully. He sighs once more, and sits down on the couch. He puts his hand to his forehead, and closes his eyes. He sits in silence, ever surrounding silence.
