  ☆ I don't mind if you come home late
And I don't ever ask you where you've been
I just assume if there's a problem, you'd tell me ☆  A painful tug in his gut woke Koty from his rest against the mattress in the floor and the jock groaned lifting his torso careful not to wake the tiny animals beside his pillow. A smile crossed the jock's lips when the scene with Keiji passed through his mind causing his body to slightly arouse when his senses remembered the intense tingles rushing through his veins at Keiji's touch and gentle kisses. The sound of his prepaid phone rang through his ears and his smile spread once he pulled the phone from his pocket seeing the new number flash onto his screen. Instantly Koty's heart fluttered knowing it had to be a text from Keiji and he quickly pressed the button opening the message. At first glance the teen's smile faded and Koty felt the need to re-read the text six more times before he dropped his phone onto the floor and his entire body started shivering. What had he done? That was the only question stirring in Koty's mind and for the better part of an hour the teen sat in a numb paralysis replying the day's events though his mind seemed to skip over the rude kiss from Cordelia. After the boy shook from his memories and steadied his shaking legs enough to stand from the mattress, Koty walked into his kitchen and poured a little more milk for his animals. The jock slowly shrugged off his jacket revealing the sweater vest and long sleeve dressy shirt beneath. Deep breaths rolled from the boy's lips before Koty stepped from the apartment locking the door behind him. Koty didn't know exactly where he was going, but he set off towards town hoping to eventually run into Keiji. The plan, though full of discouragement, seemed the most reasonable to the tearful teen while he walked downtown.  ☆ But listen and think when I say-

 ☆ This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life ☆ Keiji knew his daily routine - two weeks had molded him into a daily habit of wiping the tables before the customers started arriving and then heading off to the kitchen once the orders were in. His employer nodded to him curtly as Keiji bustled out of the employee's room with a table cloth in hand. "Make sure to clean well" his employer called out to him behind the counter. Keiji never liked the man's attitude too much; he understood though why the employer treated him that way. Keiji's foreign accent along with his lack of experience made him an easy bullying target. "Yes sir" Keiji replied, heading over to work on the first table. The hours ticked by, and Keiji observed the customers flooding in. Sighing to himself quietly, he slipped back into the kitchen. While waiting for the orders to arrive, his mind wandered to the jock again. He didn't know whether he had been too harsh with Koty, but the thought of that girl touching Koty...it really disgusted him. His perfect image of Koty had been shattered just like that. "Keiji!"' his employer barked in his face, shaking him slightly. Keiji snapped out of his daze, realizing that there were already several orders on the counter that he had neglected to take out. "S-sorry sir, I'll get to it right away" he muttered, grabbing a tray and placing the plates on it. By the time he returned to the dining area, more customers had arrived. It was definitely going to be a busy night. And that's when Keiji's eyes fixed on the person who happened to just walk right by the restaurant window. "K-koty?" Keiji gasped. ☆ The one we all dream of, but dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing ☆

☆ I don't mind if you come home late
And I don't ever ask you where you've been
I just assume if there's a problem, you'd tell me ☆ The pain in Koty's stomach churned once again and he slid his hand over his chest. The painful cringe of hunger crossed the teen's face and the scents from the restaurant only intensified the feeling. Koty sighed deeply and for a moment rested his head against the brick on the side of the building before turning the corner into the alleyway where he sank down to his knees with his back to the wall and began to weep openly with the shield of the restaurant behind him to keep him from any bystanders catching sight of the jock crying. Koty eased his head back against the brick and gulped repetitively trying to choke back his sobs but the ache in his stomach, the pain from his father's recent death, and the heartbreak established by Keiji all mixed into a pool of emotion pouring through his throat while tears trickled down his defined cheekbones from his piercing sapphire eyes. ☆ But listen and think when I say-

☆ This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life ☆ Keiji wasn't sure if Koty had seen him working inside; he guessed probably not. The man had passed the restaurant and moved on without even a glance. If Keiji excused himself for a few minutes, he could probably still catch up to the jock. Pondering for a moment, his anger from earlier hadn't completely faded yet but a part of him wanted an explanation from Koty. At least if Koty was that kind of person, Keiji wanted to hear it from the jock himself. And in the end, the decision to chase after Koty dominated. Dropping his tray on the counter, Keiji pushed past the incoming customers towards the front door and headed outside. Glancing to his left and right, Koty seemed to be out of sight. "How can he disappear that quickly?" Keiji groaned, smacking his forehead with his palm. He decided Koty must've gone forward and headed in that direction. It didnt take long before he spotted Koty in the alleyway next to the restaurant, slumped on the ground in tears. His anger dissipating at the jock's unfortunate state, Keiji strolled over and folded his arms across his chest. "Why, Koty-san?" was the only question that escaped his lips. ☆ The one we all dream of, but dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing ☆

☆ I don't mind if you come home late
And I don't ever ask you where you've been
I just assume if there's a problem, you'd tell me ☆ A series of coughs and sniffs came form Koty when he heard the familiar accent penetrate his sobs. The jock instantly jumped his his feet and turned his back to Keiji while he feverishly wiped the tears from his face and choked back more sobs. "What are you asking me why for? You're the one that text me." Koty's words barked through another sob causing his tone to whine from his lips and the teen leaned his weight against the building still turned away from Keiji in fear of fully breaking down if he saw the beautiful man's face. "I should be the one asking the questions. I thought you liked me." Koty coughed from the tickle of mucus sliding down his throat from his sniffing and his fist pounded once against the hard brick by his head letting out a bit of the frustration he felt. Koty shifted his weight from one foot to the next suddenly unable to find a zone of comfort and continued fighting his tears despite their constant stream. ☆ But listen and think when I say-

☆ This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life ☆ Keiji felt another flash of anger sweep through him when he heard the jock reply in a defensive tone. "I do like you, Koty-san" Keiji growled under his breath, clenching his fists and trembling slightly. "But apparently you don't feel the same way," he continued, his voice raising uncontrollably, "the way you were acting with that girl. Can you even tell me with a straight face that you give a s**t about me? I thought you were different Koty from the rest of them. I thought you were serious when you said you would be happy to be mine. So what the hell were you doing kissing her? In public too!" Keiji felt the steam rise to his cheeks, his eyes glaring dangerously at the man that he liked so much. "I'll answer any questions you have now," Keiji huffed, slowly relaxing his fists, "but after that I'm gone. You're no different from the rest of those jocks. If you love playing aroud with people's feelings, then you can go find someone else to bother." ☆ The one we all dream of, but dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing ☆

☆ I don't mind if you come home late
And I don't ever ask you where you've been
I just assume if there's a problem, you'd tell me ☆ Her? Kissing her? What is----Cordy. Wide eyes befell Koty's face and the jock turned in a whirl with his hands instantly locking against Keiji's shoulders. "No. No. I didn't kiss her. She kissed me. I---Keiji, I want to be yours. I will do anything to be yours. She's nothing. She's just a little brat. SHE'S like the rest of them. Keiji, I swear, I'm different. I want to know you. I want to be with you in every imaginable way." Koty's voice cracked, tears rolled in a flood down his jaws, and his body trembled looking deeply into Keiji's eyes with a deep feeling of fear and rejection. Without much warning Koty's knees faltered weakly and the teen lunged forward dropping to his knees with his arms tight around Keiji's waist. The fall was half from hunger, and more from the weakening he felt having heard Keiji's words so clearly. The text had been enough for Koty's depression to worsen but hearing the rejection spoken from Keiji's graceful lips made Koty feel like breaking down and never getting back up. ☆ But listen and think when I say-

☆ This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life ☆ Keiji blinked momentarily, not quite sure if he had heard correctly what Koty was telling him. So Koty didn't kiss her, the girl just threw herself on the jock. Instant regret washed through Keiji; he had misunderstood Koty and blamed the jock for something that was out of his control. Keiji closed his eyes, letting tears freely roll down his cheek. Then he should've been the one asking Koty for forgiveness, not the other way around. He had probably really hurt Koty tonight when the jock had sincerely loved him all along. Watching Koty fall to his knees in front of him churned Keiji's heart, his heart that already ached from hurting the man who was so incredible to him. "K-koty san" Keiji choked through sobs, grabbing Koty's shoulders and pulling him up off the ground. "I didn't know...I'm so sorry..." he pulled the jock into a warm embrace. Without thinking, he took Koty's hands in his own and tugged Koty to follow him. "It can't be comfortable here, I know a fast food place nearby where we can talk" Keiji said quietly, hoping Koty wouldn't reject him. The thought occured to him that he had just walked out on his employer, but it didnt matter to him now. Even if he was fired, he still had to clear things up with Koty. The man meant too much to him. Seeing that Koty was in a rather fragile state, he wrapped one of Koty's arms around his own shoulders and helped support his friend. "Lean on me Koty-san," Keiji whispered without looking at him. ☆ The one we all dream of, but dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing ☆

☆ I don't mind if you come home late

I just assume if there's a problem, you'd tell me ☆ Panic struck Koty's heart the moment Keiji began to speak but he slowly submitted to the man's change in tone and allowed the other to lift him from the ground. A frown pressed over Koty's lips like a scar and the teen slowly walked with his friend leaning into the embrace more for comfort than support. "Keiji, my place isn't far from here. Can we go there instead? It's a lot more private than a restaurant." The offer was only partially for the reason Koty offered of course, but he felt it reasonable enough for Keiji not to inquire further. "I just live at the end of the main street." The teen added with a gesture just to show exactly how close they were. ☆ But listen and think when I say-

☆ This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life ☆ The offer to head to Koty's place instead of the restaurant came suddenly and unexpectedly. It wasn't that Keiji was remotely afraid Koty would take advantage of him; Keiji just wasn't sure if it was appropriate to visit Koty's home after all that had happened tonight. But Koty's voice carried much sincerity; in fact so much sincerity that Keiji didn't have the heart to refuse Koty's offer. "Koty, from now on can you call me Kei instead of Keiji?" Keiji's cheeks tinted slightly, looking at the ground in front of him. He sincerely hoped without answering a yes or no that the jock had understood him. It was Keiji's own way of communicating with Koty that he did really like the man. He allowed Koty to lead the way, a small smile forming on his own lips. The man's warmth radiated , and despite how cold the night was, Keiji didn't feel the coldness at all. ☆ The one we all dream of, but dreams just aren't enough

☆ I don't mind if you come home late
And I don't ever ask you where you've been
I just assume if there's a problem, you'd tell me ☆ Kei. The teen repeated the other man's name over and over in his mind and smiled softly taking his own posture before he began walking towards his home. The cool night air was almost comforting to Koty's warm flesh from the heated frustration and overwhelming sadness heating him. The walk to the run down apartment building seemed shorter than ever with Keiji in his arms and Koty's smile never left him. The teen's face was slightly puffy and flushed from his tears but he didn't care as long as Keiji really had forgiven him. When they arrived at the door, Koty unlocked the first door and let Keiji into the musky hall before leafing the other man into his home. The only other room in the apartment was the bathroom tucked in a far corner behind the free standing counter and sink in the 'kitchen' area. Koty glanced around before gesturing to the sofa by the door and the mattress in the farthest corner not quite sure if Keiji would want to be comfortable on the mattress of play it safe on the couch. ☆ But listen and think when I say-

☆ This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life ☆ Keiji looked around the hallway, still supporting Koty with his shoulders as they approached the man's apartment suite. It didn't seem like the best place in the world, but Keiji had to honestly say his own place wasn't much better either. He noticed that Koty's eyes were still puffy and red from crying. He made a mental note to comfort his friend once they were inside and settled. Somehow the jock's tears and pained expression felt like a thousand stabbing needles in Keiji's heart. Sighing to himself softly, he stepped inside and removed his shoes carefully before walking barefoot onto the cold ground. Keiji chuckled to himself slightly, watching the jock gesture to the mattress or the couch. Not really delving too much into it, Keiji bowed slightly to Koty and headed over to the mattress. "Is it okay if we sit on your mattress Koty-san?" he asked quietly, looking around him. The jock certainly kept the place clean. Keiji's eyes swerved towards the little animals who were lapping milk from a bowl. Turning to smile at Koty, Keiji spoke up nervously, "You have really beautiful pets Koty-san. They're adorable." ☆ The one we all dream of, but dreams just aren't enough

I just assume if there's a problem, you'd tell me ☆ A smile pressed over Koty's lips and the jock slowly lowered to his knees on the mattress, dropping his keys on the floor. "Um, yea. The kitten was a gift from my father. Her name's Jack. The hedgehog was actually bought by the school. He's our own little 'Razorback' but the health department said he couldn't stay in the school so I brought him home for Jack. they get along really well." The jock spoke about the animals like a parent would their honor roll child and a twinkle sparked in his wet eyes. A deep sigh rolled from Koty's lips and the teen slowly leaned back resting his weight on his elbows in an unintentional suggestive pose. "I'm sorry, Kei." ☆ But listen and think when I say-

☆ This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life ☆ "Jack and Razorback huh?" Keiji repeated softly, holding his knees close to him on the mattress and smiling warmly at the adorable animals. The way Koty spoke about his pets was full of warmth and compassion, something that Keiji had never expected from a jock. Keiji's impression that jocks were arrogant and self-centered was shattered when he looked at Koty again. Koty was indeed different from the rest. Something stirred in Keiji's heart, something he couldn't even understand himself. "Sorry?" Keiji said, shaking his head fervently, "Koty-san I was the one who misunderstood you. I should be asking for your apology." He couldn't even look at Koty, his face flushed with shame. He had put all the blame on Koty without even hearing the jock's explanation first. "I-I'm sorry Koty" he said again under his breath, his tone sincerely apologetic. ☆ The one we all dream of, but dreams just aren't enough

The teen turned his head when the man spoke to his apology and the jock frowned when the stutter chopped through his ear. "Kei. No. You shouldn't say you're sorry. It was a misunderstanding." Koty turned from his spot beside of Keiji to a crouch in front of the man with his palms sliding over Keiji's knees. Koty nudged his nose against Keiji's and smiled playfully. "Come on. Cheer up. We both made a mistake but everything is ok now" ☆ But listen and think when I say-
