 Matsumoto Jun walked to the churchyard hugging the flowers to his chest lightly, the summer sun seemed to light the well-trodden path for him and soon he was standing in front of a well-polished stone. He took the flowers out of the plastic wrapper and lay them at the base while cleaning out the dead ones.

“Here again, Jun-kun” A voice sighed sounding completely disappointed in him and Jun looked around though he knew he wouldn’t be able to see the person that had spoken. It had started four months ago, at first he was terrified that he could hear that beautiful breathy voice again, it had been almost two years since the last time he had heard it. Now though he would do anything in his power to keep hearing it even when it was disappointed in him, like it was now “Ne, Jun-kun, don’t you think it’s time that you forgot about me?”

“I don’t want to… I never want to forget you, Masaki” Jun said in a whisper his voice shaking as he gripped at the locket that hung around his neck. The locket had been given to him by a strange man with a tanned sleepy face. He had been leaving the graveyard and the stranger had popped up from nowhere and pushed it into his hands. At first he hadn’t known what to do with it but as much as he tried he hadn’t been able to find the tanned man again and by chance he had put it on and that was when he had first been able to hear the voice in his mind again

“Just because you move on doesn’t mean you would stop loving me...” Masaki was telling him and Jun felt a stab of pain in his heart. How his boyfriend could be trying so hard to get him to see other people when the only person he wanted was him.

“Nobody could ever replace you, Masaki” He murmured, and there was another breathy laugh and Jun felt surrounded with love like he had been with they were dating.

“Baka, this isn’t about replacing me, but this is about letting you be happy… Remember what you wrote on my stone…” Masaki laughed breathlessly and Jun started crying as he stared down at the black stone with gold writing

 ‘Aiba Masaki… If you lie down and wait for a miracle, nothing will ever happen…’

“See, Jun-kun… You have to make your own miracles in this world…”

“I did, I got you to fall in love with me… You were my miracle…”

“You were mine too, Jun-kun but now it’s time to make a new miracle… I’m glad that you love me so much but because I love you I need you to be happy…” Aiba told him. Jun never doubted for a moment that the voice was his Aiba, his Aiba would be forcing him to be happy and that’s what hurt so much. Being able to hear that the person you loved so much wanted you to be with someone else was a hard thing. He sat in front of the gravestone and as soon as that thought came into his mind he felt Aiba let out a sigh “Jun-kun, It’s not that I want you to be with someone else, but I’m dead and I’m not going to get better… You have to accept that and move on…”

“But as long as I wear this we’re together” Jun said running his fingers over the front of the locket.

“That would make me selfish, ne? It wouldn’t be real…”

“But I would still have you…”

“You’ll always have me, even if you have someone else, Jun-kun…I want to move on too… I can feel myself being pulled away, I know I no longer belong here but I can’t leave until I know you’ll be okay…”

“Masaki… Please don’t keep saying this…”

“It’s the truth, I had my life I lived every moment I had and because I had you I was happy…”

“Why did you leave me?” Jun asked

“Because it was my time, you still have so much longer left… You should be happy and I should be allowed to go…”

“Me clinging on to you, is hurting you?”

“It hurts me to see Jun-Jun like this” Aiba agreed and Jun felt a stab of guilt realising that he hadn’t been thinking of how this was affecting Aiba. “So will you try? For me?”

“I can try…” Jun mumbled reluctantly and he felt Aiba being pleased. He left the graveyard, unconsciously looking around for the little tanned man that had given him his second miracle. The street was empty and slowly he made his way towards the apartment until he remembered that he still hadn’t been shopping with a sigh he changed his direction and went into the first department store he could find. He was so busy thinking about what Aiba had said that he didn’t notice a small guy until they had crashed into each other and landed in heap on the shiny surface.

“Crap” The small guy said grabbing the video game that had slid out of his grip and getting slowly to his feet

“You could watch where you’re going…” Jun snapped before he could think and the small guy’s eyes narrowed quickly.

“I was until some idol wannabe marched into me without looking where he was going… Do you see that?” He asked showing him a slight scuff mark that was barely noticeable “You scuffed my game”

“Aren’t you too old to be playing games? Jun scoffed, though looking again the guy could be in university.

“Aren’t you too much of a man to be wearing that shade of purple as a shirt?” The short guy asked back quickly and Jun ignored the breathy laughter that came into his mind, surprised when the guy grabbed his hand and pulled him into a game shop.

“What are you doing?”

“You’re going to replace my game…”

“Aww come on, it was only a little…” Jun said trying to get out of the small guys surprisingly tight grip. “You can hardly see it…”

“Little or not, it’s no longer in mint condition… And I know it’s there” He snapped back pulling him into a row of games and Jun watched as he made sure to pick one from the back. The small guy studied every inch of the case, his finger running around the plastic to make there were no chips. Apparently the first one didn’t come up to standard because he put it back with a cute frown.

“You thought ‘cute’” Masaki giggled in his mind and Jun stiffened for a moment

“No I didn’t…” He snapped softly, obviously though he wasn’t soft enough when the small guy looked up at him with a smirk.

“You know, if you’re gonna talk to yourself you should hold a phone to your ear so you don’t look crazy…” He said and then waved the game in front of his face “Come on…”

Against his better judgement he followed the short guy to the cashier ignoring the howling laughter that was filling his mind.

“Hey, Toma”

“Nino… Didn’t you already leave?” the cashier asked looking surprised.

“Yeah, Idol-san decided to knock me over and ruin my game”

“Ruin? There was only a slight scuff mark…” Jun muttered looking uncomfortable when the cashier looked at him with an amused smile “And I’m not an idol…”

“So why dress like one? To get girls? I bet it’s to get girls”

“Yeah, like you’d know anything about that, Nino” The cashier said with a laugh as he took the security tag off of the game, ‘Nino’ joined in the laugh with a nasally voice and even without Masaki’s gentle nudging in his brain he knew that that meant they were the same. “Anyway he’s paying for a new one…”

“No I’m not…Why should I pay for a whole new game, give back the scuffed one on a return and I’ll pay the difference but I won’t pay for a completely new one”

“I won’t accept a return if it was okay on purchase… And knowing Nino that case would have been perfect…”

“Just pay the money and then ask him out on a date!”

“No way!” Jun shouted with more force than was needed and he was thankful that the store was half empty.

“Why not? He’s perfect! And you already said he was cute!”

“I said no” Jun muttered uncomfortably aware that Nino and Toma were giving him concerned looks. Nino relaxed first and gave a short laugh

“Okay… Okay… How about I pay half and you pay half? I’ll even give you the game you scuffed you can use it to calm down…” he said pulling out a wallet that had a cute princess peach design on the front.

“You thought ‘cute’ again”

“I thought the wallet was cute!” Jun snapped and again Toma looked at him strangely while Nino grinned

“You know we talked about that phone idea…” He mumbled softly and Jun couldn’t help but be relieved that he was taking the ‘talking to himself’ so lightly, even some of his closest friends had stopped talking to him when they noticed that. He pulled out his own boring wallet and paid his share. They walked out of the store slowly and Jun realised that they were heading to the same shop

“Are you following me?” Jun asked without thinking though it did seem rather strange.

“No, I have to get some food… You’re the crazy guy maybe you’re following me… I know you fell in love with me at first sight but didn’t know how to make a move so you decided to literally sweep me off my feet” Nino said with another one of those smirks that Jun was surprised to find irritatingly cute

“Hehe, I like him… You should ask him out!” Aiba said and Jun felt as if he was bouncing up and down in his head little a child trying to get attention. Jun frowned just because he had agreed to try and let go it didn’t mean he was prepared to jump on the first cute guy he saw.

“I didn’t I just didn’t see you because you’re so short” Jun snapped and to his surprise Nino let out a loud laugh

“I’m not that much shorter than you Idol-san…”

“Will you stop calling me Idol-san?”

“I might do if I knew your name” Nino shrugged picking up a basket waiting for Jun to do the same

“Matsumoto Jun” Jun said stiffly as he looked around, this really wasn’t his regular store and he had no idea where anything was. Nino gave another grin and motion for him to follow and they walked to a bunch of pre-cooked food,

“Okay, Matsumoto-san, I’m Ninomiya Kazunari most people just call me Nino so have you just moved in around here?” He asked as he put a load of the dried noodles into his basket, Jun shook his head “Hmm that’s weird… I haven’t seen you around here before…”

“Are you trying to say that you know everyone that lives around here?”

“I know all of the crazily hot guys” Nino nodded “Though you’re the first I’ve seen that is ‘Crazy and hot’ are you on meds or um talking to someone… A professional…”

“I’m not crazy… I just have a lot on my mind…” Jun mumbled though he did wonder if maybe he was a little but crazy more so when he heard Aiba screaming at him to just asked him out. Nino relaxed again

“Really, that’s good…”

“If you thought I really was crazy why did you stay with me?”

“Hmm… Maybe I would just feel guilty if someone beat you up for talking to yourself or maybe I like crazy” Nino shrugged “Aren’t you getting anything?”

“None of this processed crap, do you know how bad it is for you?”

“Yeah… but it’s cheap and I can’t be arsed to cook…”

“But you can be arsed to buy video games?” Jun muttered starting to take the food out of his basket and Nino looked at him with a strange glint in his eyes.

“You know if you want to treat me like your girlfriend you can at least ask me out first, until then I’ll eat what I want” He muttered piling the food back into his basket and moving to walk away. Aiba wasn’t going to let that happen and suddenly Jun heard him screaming

“DON’T YOU DARE LET HIM LEAVE!”

“Um… Wait… Would you go on a date with me?”
