A/N: (^^) this is inspired by 'It's Okay' sang by Nell, I've used the lyrics to the song in this update ♥

Atsushi strummed the guitar on his lap while waiting for their turn to come on stage for today’s gig.

“Atsushi, someone’s here for you!”

He glanced up and when he saw the person at the door, his lips automatically curled up in a little smile.

“Yo!”

“Yo!” he replied back and excused himself from the room.

“Atsushi, you have 15 minutes,” one of his band mates reminded him.

“We won’t take long,” he replied, giving his friends a little wave before following the other out from the room.

“Why?”

Atsushi was lighting his cigarette when the other promptly asked him the question. From the way the other man was looking at him right now, he knew that the man in front of him was mad at him.

“I’m not you Pi…” he simply replied, puffing out the smoke and sighing loudly.

“But why did you do this? Why did you-…”

“Why did I tell you to bring him here?” he cut his friend off. “To bring Jin here?” he asked again and Pi nodded his head slowly.

“I got to know that falling in love could break you into pieces, and I don’t want it.” Atsushi inhaled his cigarette for the last time and threw the cigarette butt onto the ground, before stepping on it.

“Don’t tell me that you…”

Atsushi flashed Pi a smile and he could feel his mouth ache by it. “No.”

His friend looked at him with a worried expression on his face and he scoffed loudly, “No… we’re just good friends and he made me promise not to tell you and Jin.”

That was a lie… he promised to not tell is not because of Kazuya had told him not to… he was selfish…

“Why are you telling us now?”

“I don’t want to listen to him crying every night anymore…” he replied softly and when Pi was about to ask further, a knock was heard at the door and his band mate peeked in.

“It’s our turn already.”

“I need to go, we’ll talk later okay?” he gave Pi a pat on the shoulder, and when the door closed behind him with a dull thud, the smile immediately left his face.

I’m not a good friend like you Pi…

He cleared his throat and glanced at the empty table right in front of them. He smiled slightly, remembering the times when Kazuya would sit there smiling brightly at him.

He closed his eyes and whispered, “This is for you…”

I’m happy… I’m happy enough that we had those kinds of moments…
I understand… I understand enough that all meetings have ends…

“I like your voice…”

He glanced at the other, who was sitting beside him and rolled his eyes. “You’re not going to buy me with that kind of compliment. I would call and tell-…”

“Don’t…” the other man was tugging at his jacket, eyes wide and pleading.

He sighed, “I don’t want to get involved with your love problems,” he told the other, pressing the call button.

“Please…” Kazuya whimpered softly.

“Why?” he asked.

“I love him…”

He didn’t know why he had pressed the cancel button when he heard the declaration leave the other’s lips and he didn’t understand the way Kazuya was thinking. If you really loved the person, why would you leave the person you love with all your heart?

“Thank you…” the smaller man said softly, “Thank you…”

So don’t lie to me… please don’t lie to me… that’s what’s hurting me…
Love’s no sympathy…

“Are you happy?”

Kazuya stopped laughing and gave him a strange look. “Of course I am… why are you asking that kind of question?”

“I’m just curious…”

Kazuya gave him a warm smile and he felt fuzzy and warm inside, that somehow it got him tongue-tied.

“I think I’m happy when you’re around…” the other man said earnestly that he almost got fooled by it.

But why are you crying every night?

I’m happy… I’m happy… that we even had those kinds of memories…
I understand… I understand everything even if you don’t say those words you mean…

I’m happy… I’m happy enough that there was that kind of laughter…

“What…” his voice trailed off when he saw the decorations in their gig room.

“Happy birthday!” shouts and cheers filled the room and he looked around him in shock.

“Eh?”

“Happy birthday!” Kazuya’s voice brought him back to reality. He gaped at the smaller man, who was beaming brightly at him.

“It’s Kamenashi-kun’s idea,” Naoki, the bassist of his group informed him with a meaningful grin and he could feel himself blushing. Ignoring his band mates’ wiggling brows, he pulled the smaller man to a corner.

“What are you doing? And how did you know?”

“Ah…” Kazuya smiled guiltily, taking something from his jeans’ pocket and showed it to him.

“You dropped your student card last night at the bar…”

He stared at the card in the other’s hands, wide-eyed, before snatching it from Kazuya’s hands.

“Well… I didn’t expect that you’re still in your first year in college. You’re younger than me… and I thought…” he could see the teasing smile on the other’s lips.

“Shut up…” he murmured and his ear was filled with Kazuya’s hearty chuckle. Although he was annoyed, he couldn’t help smiling when he heard it.

I’m happy… I’m happy… that we even had those kinds of memories…
I understand… I understand everything even if you don’t say those words you mean…

And if you have to go… then I will let you go…
And if you have to go… then I will let you go…

He gazed at the sleeping man curled on the couch in the living room. He knew what he was doing right now was wrong. He knew about the other and his own friend and that both of them were hurting, but yet, he didn’t want to let go just yet…

“Now I understand how Pi feels…” he said to himself, but he was not Pi. Pi was the good guy, the unselfish good guy that sacrificed his own love for his friend but he wasn’t. If he could, he wanted this to never end. But he knew very well that someday that he would have to let the other go….

He knew that he had to…

But not yet… not now…

I’m happy… I’m happy… that we even had those kinds of memories…
I understand… I understand everything even if you don’t say those words you mean…
I’m happy… I’m happy… that we even had those kinds of memories…
It’s okay… it’s okay… there’s no need for you to try so hard to make an effort…

Atsushi opened his eyes while a tear rolled down his face… he had let the other go… and his heart ached… but he had never felt so contented when the thought of Kazuya’s genuine smile filled his head.

I’m happy… I’m happy enough that there even was that kind of a blessing…
I understand… I understand enough that we’ve come to this end…
It’s okay…

The crowd had given him a loud applause but the only thing that he could think of in his head was the other man.

I hope that you will be happy…

……………………………………………………………………..

“Okay… I get it…”Kazuya quickly made a move towards his door when the person at the other side of the door wouldn’t stop pressing the door bell.

“Can’t you be patient for a-…” Kazuya couldn’t finish his sentence when he saw the person at the door.

“How could I be patient when the whole of this year, all I could think of was you?”

A tear trailed down his cheek and they just wouldn’t stop. His tears kept on falling and he didn’t even know how to stop them and he didn’t care about it anymore.

“You’re not coming to me… so I came to you…” the taller man at the door moved closer.

Kazuya gazed at the other’s face and hesitantly reached out to touch the man in front of him. And when he could feel the warm skin, he gasped softly.

“You’re real…” a choked sob, “You’re real…”

He watched the man place his hand atop of his, whispering, “I am real…”

“I am real…” Jin whispered softly, placing a soft kiss on his palm. “I am real…”
