Prologue
The sun was shining brightly, but even if it was as cloudy as it had been a couple of weeks ago, Kyo wouldn’t have let it get him down. In fact, he was feeling so good when he came into band practice on Monday morning. He wouldn’t really admit it to himself, but he liked Mao a lot, and he’d had one of the best weekends of his life with him. Sex aside, of course-because that was hardly what Kyo cared about most-Mao was easy to talk to, and they had enough common interests that there was never a lull in the conversation. Plus, there was just something about the other man’s smile, the way he looked up to Kyo, how he was working so hard to fulfill his dreams… Kyo smiled in fond recollection. He jaunted up the steps, and was practically grinning as he slid into the studio.
His band mates were already present, each one fiddling with his own instrument. “Hey, Kyo,” Kaoru said absent-mindedly as he came in.
“Hey,” Kyo chirped, going up to his mic and starting into the chorus of DISABLED COMPLEXES. Die looked up. “Hey! I’m trying to tune my guitar here!”
“What has you so perky?” Toshiya asked, eyebrows raised in question. “Usually you won’t even crack a smile until after twelve.”
“Do you really want to know?” Kyo said, fighting off another irritating smile.
He had everyone’s attention now. “Okay, spill it!” Die burst, setting aside his guitar for the time being.
“Is it a girl?” Shinya asked, a shy smile dancing on his face.
Kyo shrugged. “Not exactly. You see, I met this guy in-“
“A guy!?” Die practically bellowed.
“LET ME GET ON WITH IT!” Kyo exclaimed, running a hand through his bangs. “Jesus Christ… Okay, I met this guy in a sushi shop a few weeks ago. He was obviously a fan, but I was in a bad mood so I acted like a jerk to him. Obviously I was upset and disappointed with myself so I apologized and had him over for tea. Long story short…he came over again Friday night and stayed into Saturday. I really-“
“He stayed the night?” Toshiya interrupted, wriggling his eyebrows suggestively. “Did you fuck him?”
Die laughed, but looked a little awkward at the thought of Kyo fucking a guy. Shinya sighed and shook his head. Kaoru had been bent over his guitar during Kyo’s entire story, but looked up with a raised eyebrow at that. Kyo frowned at Toshiya. “We had sex,” he said, careful not to use the word “fuck.”
“Awww, that’s precious,” Toshiya said, grinning.
Kaoru rolled his eyes and went back to his guitar. Kyo put his hands on his hips. “ I’ll have you know, it wasn’t a one night stand for me! I’m not like you.”
Kaoru cleared his throat loudly before Toshiya could say anything, and exclaimed, “So Kyo-kun has a boyfriend?”
Kyo glanced at Kaoru. “You know, I actually really like him!” He laughed, a little shocked at himself. “I seriously think I want to pursue something with him. I talked to a few people, and found out that his band is playing this Friday night. I’m going to go and surprise him.”
“He’s in a band?” Kaoru asked, suddenly taking more of a serious interest.
Kyo nodded. “Yep. I know I’d heard of them before, too. They’re called Sadie.”
“Aw, they’re the little copycats, aren’t they?” Toshiya asked with a snigger.
“Kawaii,” Die added.
Kyo opened his mouth to defend Sadie’s honor (for Mao’s sake), but Kaoru spoke above him. He set down his guitar and turned his gaze to Kyo, looking at him intensely. “Well, Kyo, I’d have thought you of all people would have remembered one of the rules we set down when we started-namely because you were the one who adamantly insisted we have this rule.”
Kyo swallowed, instantly remembering, instantly realizing what his friend was talking about. “But Kaoru… These are different circumstances. And you know I was acting in anger because of those circumstances.”
Kaoru nodded, and sighed. “I understand that, but we didn’t bend the rules for Shinya, so we really can’t bend them for you either.” Then, looking as though it caused him great pain to say what he had to say, he added, “It’s your moral duty to make sure things don’t go any further with this guy.”
Kyo looked around at his band mates helplessly. Only Toshiya looked sympathetic, but he didn’t say anything. Shinya wouldn’t meet his gaze. Die still looked slightly weirded out, and he picked up his guitar to ignore Kyo as he continued tuning it. Kyo set his jaw and left the room to call Mao.
* * * * *
“And then I ended it,” Kyo muttered to himself in the early hours of the next morning after recalling the situation in vivid detail for what seemed like the hundredth time. “And I did it the most cowardly way imaginable-by breaking his heart over the phone.”
He found it was impossible to get any sleep. He couldn’t understand how he’d grown so attached to Mao after spending only three days with him (and one of those days was almost a month ago, in fact!), but somehow he had. He felt horrible about calling him and breaking it off. He’d done awful during the rest of practice, and then he’d skipped dinner when he got home because he wasn’t hungry. He proceeded in spending the rest of the night drifting in and out of sleep, yelling at himself to stop thinking about some guy he’d only just met.
He sighed and got up; although it was much too early for him to consider being awake, it looked like sleep was going to continue to be elusive. It was time to start another day of practice, whether he felt like it or not.
Part 1

Notes: 1) The title of the fic is the name of the song from the end of the two parter. Oh yes. I went there.
2) Aw, no Sadie in the prologue. D: Fear not, they're most prominent in chapter one! In fact, Mao's band mates have a much bigger part this time around. I'm going to use this fic to get myself comfortable writing them so I can write non-crossover Sadie fics. 8D
3) As you can see, there's an awful lot of hinting going around at things that have happened in Diru's past, at different personality quirks (Kyo subtly implying that Toshiya is a slut, for instance), and stuff. Everything serves its purpose eventually. After all, I don't think Toshiya is a slut, and I don't want people flaming me because of Kyo's comment to him. >_>
4) By the way, for those wondering why my updates have been so odd lately, I've left a post unlocked on my personal journal explaining things and offering a little notice about fanfiction. I felt it was better to leave so much personal information in a personal journal. XD;
