Once he'd closed the door, Yu exhaled loudly and went to his bedroom, finding Bill applying his make-up. They were both quiet for a minute. Yu just stood watching Bill perfectly put on a heavy amount of black eyeliner.

“I'm sorry you had to hear all that.” Yu said, looking into the eyes of Bill's reflection.

Bill set down the eye pencil and did the same. “Don't you think you were a bit harsh?” he asked.

“You wouldn't understand.”

Bill sighed. “I wish you'd let me in on whatever this is. I don't know what to think when it's brought up since you won't tell me anything. My mind wanders to a lot of scenarios and they're all pretty bad.” he said, carefully brushing out the knots in his hair.

Yu let out a chuckle with no real amusement behind it. “All of them are probably better than the real thing.”

Bill quirked a brow, almost imitating the chuckle. “My theories have included drug trafficking, gang affiliation, pyromania, cancer, and murder. Can you top any of that?”

This time Yu couldn't help but laugh. “Would you feel better if I promised you I wasn't dealing drugs, in a gang, setting fires, under chemotherapy, or hiding a dead body?”

“Yes.” Bill replied, turning around. “But I'd feel a lot better if you told me exactly what's wrong.”

“...you're parents are probably worried. You should get home.” was Yu's response.

Bill sighed heavily, his arms falling to his sides. “Fine. I need to feed the twins and pump some milk anyway. But I'm not gonna let this go, Yu.”

Yu smiled knowingly. “I know. You've never been one to do so.”

“Hey, beautiful. How was your night?” Strify asked, placing a loving kiss on Bill's cheek.

Bill gulped. Cheater, cheater, cheater. “Uneventful. We talked, had dinner, put the twins to bed, and watched a movie. Nothing major.” Except that he fucked you.

“What was wrong with him anyway?”

“Kiro is giving the baby up for adoption. He said he doesn't trust Yu to raise her.”

Strify's eyes softened with sympathy. “Damn. I think that's pretty selfish. We all know Yu isn't perfect, but in the end he is a good father. Did he say why Kiro doesn't trust him?”

Bill shook his head. “No, but he came over this morning and they fought. It wasn't pretty. Yu basically shut him out of his life.”

“Whoa, what? They're best friends!”

“That's what I said, but I don't really have any business poking around, I guess. It's between Yu and Kiro.”

“It's not like you to not snoop.”

Bill's tongue shot out at the brunette. “Shut up. I'll do anything I can to help, but until someone asks me to step in...I think I've had enough drama for a while.”

Strify smiled, taking Bill's waist and kissing his forehead.

Bill smiled shyly. “What was that for?”

“Do I need a reason to kiss the person I love?”

It took Bill all of his strength not to frown. “I guess not.”

Strify smirked, pushing away the fabric of Bill's shirt to press a kiss to his boyfriend's shoulder. That kiss turned into another, which turned into a small nip, which soon left a small bruise on Bill's collarbone.

“Oh, now I get it.” Bill said blankly.

Strify couldn't help but chuckle. “Not in the mood?” he asked, pulling Bill's shirt back over the mark.

Bill instantly felt bad. “No, I just...I don't know. I want to, it's just I-” he stopped rambling only when Strify put his index finger to his lips.

“Bill, you don't have to explain yourself to me. If you don't want to do anything, then we won't.”

The raven-haired teen immediately cracked a beautiful smile and practically pounced onto his boyfriend, wrapping his long legs around the boy's waist and kissing him hard on the lips.

Strify looked stunned to say the least. “Um...alright, certainly not complaining here, but what was that for?”

“I love you so much.” was all he said, then eagerly went back to planting kisses all over Strify.

Strify merely smiled, resisting his own urges to kindly get Bill off of him.

Bill's brows furrowed. “What's wrong? I thought you wanted to.” he frowned.

Instead of answering, Strify swept the young mother into his arms and made his way to Bill's bedroom, gently lying the boy down on the sheets. He took a moment to close the door, turning back around to see Bill's shirt and jeans gone, the boy working on removing his bra. Again, Strify only smiled and joined Bill on the bed, batting away his hands from the pesky clasps.

Bill sat and waited for his bra to be taken off and thrown across the room, but was surprised when Strify didn't even touch him. He turned and gave him a very confused look, especially when he saw him already lying down.

“Come here.” Strify whispered, wiggling a finger.

Bill smirked, mistakenly taking the gesture as something else. He took Strify's hand and guided it downwards, directly on top of his slowly growing arousal.

Strify shook his head, pulling the hand away to wrap an arm around Bill's torso. He sighed contently when Bill was lying beside him, enjoying the calm quiet surrounding them. Though, it only took a few moments for Bill to break the silence.

“Uh...Strify?”

“Hm?” Strify asked, a tiredness hinted in his voice as he shut his eyes.

“I don't know exactly how familiar you are with it, but I don't know jack shit about mental masturbation, so...this is kind of one-sided.”

Strify laughed, opening his eyes to look at his half naked lover. “Neither do I. I wasn't getting off. I'm just...enjoying.”

“Enjoying what exactly? I mean, I'm half naked, but you're more than welcome to do something with it.” Bill stated.

“I'm enjoying spending time with you. That time doesn't need to be sex, or making out, or some fancy date. Just lying here with you is heaven itself.” he explained.

Bill's eyes softened and he couldn't help but blush. “You really mean that?”

“If I didn't, we wouldn't be dressed and talking about, now would we?” Strify inquired.

Bill's smile widened. He made himself comfortable and laid on Strify's chest, looking at the boy's beautiful eyes. “What made you suddenly just want to lie down? When you got here you seemed pretty eager to do...other things.”

Strify lovingly caressed Bill's back. “Well...honestly?”

Bill nodded, worried he'd done something unattractive.

“You don't seem yourself today, Billa. I didn't notice at first, but...now I'm worried. Is everything okay?” he asked, sincerely seeming worried.

Nope. I may or may not have had hot sex with my ex-boyfriend at his apartment when I was supposed to be consoling him. Then I lied this morning. I wasn't tired, I was wallowing in self pity and didn't want you to suspect anything. Need me to spell it out for you? Yu. Yu as in my ex-boyfriend who left me pregnant, the guy that broke your arm, the guy whose mess you cleaned up, fucked me last night and I'm too much of a pussy to tell you.

“Everything is fine.” Bill managed to choke out, faking a smile.

Strify sighed, a deep frown appearing on his lips. “You can talk to me, Bill. What's going on?”

Bill frowned. “I...I don't know. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you, I just...don't feel quite like myself today.” he said, forcing out the lie.

Strify put on a small smile. He reached up, letting his hand cup Bill's cheek. “Then how about this...you, me, and a nice dinner? Just the two of us, a nice restaurant, and you being you.” he suggested.

“That sounds really nice.” Bill smiled.

“Go get ready, and take your time. I'm going to go home and change, and I'll be back to pick you up in an hour, okay?”

Bill bit his lip and nodded.

“Wonderful. I will see you in one hour, beautiful.” Strify whispered, kissing his boyfriend goodbye before leaving the room.

Once Strify was gone, Bill sighed heavily just before smacking himself. “You're such an idiot, Bill! Why would you do something like that to him and completely lie to his face? Fuck!” he hissed, scrambling off of the bed to take a shower.
