Sunrise cast the sky in an orange glow.

As they stepped through the doors, cool wind blew through damp fuchsia locks, causing a shiver to run through the slim form. Covered in goosebumps Shuichi sat on the rocky steps of Hiroshi's apartment building, the mysterious author standing tall above him.

Typically clad in neat, professional attire, said man now wore simple black jeans and a T-shirt that seemed a bit large on him. No matter how different he looked, Shuichi still saw him as the most beautiful person that ever lived.

Emotions taking over again, he wrapped his arms tightly around himself.

I don't want to be without you Eiri, I love you too much...

"I'm sorry."

Surprised, his grip loosened, but his body was stuck to the spot.

Gently running fingers through mauve hair, the author repeated himself "I'm sorry". He was the cause of all of the heartache and turbulence for them both this past week- no, their entire relationship.

Weight of regret pressing on his shoulders, "I can't even explain why I reacted that way when you-"

A smaller hand rose to his "I shouldn't have just brought it up like that, those memories are hard for you".

Shaking his head, "I should have at least said I didn't want to talk about it".

Frowning, "I shouldn't have been such a baby about it"

"You didn't, it was your birthday and..."

"I've been so confused"

"You deserve an explanation"

Meekly he admitted, "I've only been part of your life a few months..."

"Nearly one year"

"Only a year, I didn't think about how you need time to... to start trusting me... to love me"

"Shuichi"

The younger male looked up.

"I do love you, and from now on, call me Eiri. That other name doesn't sound as cute when you say it."

Lilac smiling into indigo, "I love you Eiri".

That night both Hiroshi and Tohma received text-messages from the source of their worries. Despite the pain the couple endured, being together was the best method of healing and safe growth for them both.

"I'm glad for you two", each said aloud.

In their apartment, laying in the arms of the man he loved, Eiri softly kissed his warm perspiring forehead.

Wrapping bare legs around the sweat covered skin of his boyfriend, the fatigued pop-star whispered "Eiri I'm so happy we're back together".

"Me too Shuichi".
