A/N: I'll be reffering to Joe and Cherry as Joe and Cherry, since it'll be easier to keep track on who is who.

Reki yawns as he walks downstairs. Immediatley, he is welcomed by the sounds of bickering. "I swear, if they really are-" he thinks as he continues walking. He enters the kitchen and sees Joe and Cherry bickering, as always. "You never wanna listen to me! Your always moody and never wanna go out!" Joe yells silently. "Well if I'm like that, then why don't you go date one of those annoying fangirls?!" Cherry yells back, quietly. "Are you guys seriously fighting this early in the morning?" Reki says, staring at the couple with tired eyes. Cherry sighs. "Did we wake you?" Cherry says, sounding annoyed. Reki nods a no. "I don't have the energy to deal with this. I'm going upstairs." Cherry says, walking upstairs. Joe rolls his eyes. "You guys are forever bickering." Reki says, chuckling. "So, what were you guys fighting about anyway? It sounds kind of serious." Reki asks. "It's nothing serious, he's just jealous and moody." Joe says, crossing his arms. "Well, I think you should try and fix this. Whatever it's about." Reki says. Joe doesn't respond. Reki gets up and heads to the living room to watch TV. A few hours later, mostly everyone is awake. Cherry and Joe were still not talking, trying to avoid any eye contact. "Are Joe and Cherry fighting again?" Miya asks, taking a seat next to Reki. "Yep." Reki sighs. "What a bunch of slimes. They're like little kids." Miya says, watching with Reki, too. "Yeah. Though this fight kinda seems off." Reki says. "Why do you think that?" Miya asks. "Because. Normally in a few hours, they'd be fine with eachother. But look at them. They aren't even making eye contact." Reki says. Miya grunts. "It does look like it." Miya says. "I'm going out." Joe says, grabing his jacket to leave. "Where are you going." Cherry says, quietly but loud enough for Joe to hear. "It's none of your business." Joe says, shutting the door behind him. "Jeez, they really are little kids." Miya says. Reki agrees. "I wonder where Joe's going. It's a weekend, so he doesn't have work." Langa says, taking a seat next to Miya and Reki. "Your right about that." Reki says. Cherry started cooking, muttering to himself angrily. "I've never seen Cherry so mad." Langa says. Reki nods. "Hey, you think we should follow him?" Miya says, quietly. "What, why?" Reki says. "Because. I really wanna see what Joe's doing." Miya whispers. "I agree with Miya." Langa whispers. Reki sighs. "Alright, fine. But if we get caught, I'm blaming it on you guys." Reki whispers. They grab their jackets and begin to head out. "We're going out, too! We'll be back in a few!" Reki yells. They head outside and grab their skateboards. They skate around until they're in town. "Alright. Where do you think he could've gone?" Reki asks. "I don't know." Miya says. "Really? Then why did we come?" Reki sort of yells. "We'll find him eventually." Miya says. "Man, I'm thirsty." Langa whines. "Then let's go to that concenience store." Reki says, pointing at a little shop. "Do you guys have money?" Reki says. "Yeah" Langa says. "Nope." Miya says. "Really Mya?" Reki says. Miya giggles. "Fine. I'll pay for you." Reki says. They carry their skateboards in and pick out some drinks and a snack. They pay and eat it. Alright, let's go." Reki says, getting on his skateboard. They skate around for a while. "Look! There's Joe's car!" Langa says, pointing at the familiar car. It was parked outside of a bar. "Why would Joe have to come here?" Reki says. They walk to the entrance and see that there was no guard on duty, so they just walked in. They were met with loud music, lights, talking and yelling. It was pretty dark inside, so they tried to make their way without getting lost. They spot Joe at the bar, so they walk over there. When they get closer, they see Joe with a random girl. They seemed to be enjoying themselves. "What the hell." Reki says, pissed. They were all thinking the same thing: Why would Joe do this? "I'm going to give that guy a piece of my mind." Reki says, walking towrds Joe. "Wait! Don't be careless, Reki." Langa says, grabing his wrist. Joe sees the three boys and freezes. They see him do so. But Joe seemed to be looking at someone else. They look behind them and see Cherry, standing there. He was also in shock. They never had seen Cherry look so hurt before. He started for a moment, and made for the exit. "Che- Kaoru!" Langa, yells, running after him. Reki does the same. Joe makes for Cherry, too. But Miya walks up to him, and slaps him. Reki and Langa look to where Cherry went, and see his sitting in an alley way, back against the wall and head in in his arms. Langa and Reki immediately go over to him and comfort him. "I knew he would do this. I knew he wouldn't stay forever. I knew well one day he would get bored and leave. Because that's how he is. That's how he's always been. I know that so damn well, and I was ready for it. So why, why does it hurt so much now that it actually happened? Why now? Why does it feel like I've been stomped and kicked a million times? Why does my chest and stomach ache so badly? Why do I feel like this? Why, please explain why.." Cherry mumbles. Reki and Langa look at eachother with a sad and concerned look on their faces. Cherry never talked like this. None of them were very good with words, so they didn't know how to respond. Cherry knew this, so he didn't expect them to say anything back. "It's because your in-love with him. Even though you knew this woud happen, you didn't want it to happen. Your hurt." Langa says. Cherry looks up at Langa. His sleeves were stained with tears, and his eyes were red. Just as Cherry was about to say something, Miya, Joe, and the unkown girl came out. Reki and Langa looked at Joe with anger. Cherry tried not to look at him. Joe looked worried for Cherry. Reki slaps Joe. He rambles on and on about what happened. "Just let me expla-" Joe says before being cut off again. "Explain what?!" Reki says, pissed. "She's my sister-in-law. We met up because I wanted to make it up to Kaoru and came to her for advice. I swear, there's nothing going on between us. I would never do that to Kaoru." Joe says, putting a hand on his heart. "He's right. My husband told me he wanted help so of course, I helped. I know this is a weird place to meet up about this kind of stuff, but he's telling the truth. You can even ask my husband." she says. Langa looks at her. It looked as if her eyes were saying "I mean no harm at all". He trusted her. Reki looked at Langa and Langa nodded. Langa told what he thought to Cherry. Joe walked over to Cherry and hugged him Cherry cried again. "I'm sorry, Kaoru. I'll never leave you, I promise. Your special to me." Joe says.
