Love Staged

Is it time to end?

It's been two weeks since Ryoma left Izumi with no explanation on why he left. The only time Izumi comes out of his room is when Rei forces him to for any acting job he has. He just sits in his room all day, everyday he cries, you can hear it through the house.
When Ryoma left he left his belongings at the house but today he asked Rei for them to be delivered back to his apartment.
Just as Rei finished packing the last of Ryomas boxes into the car Shougo got in the car.

"What do you think you're doing?" Rei asked as he got in the driver seat, starting up the car.

"I'm getting answers for my brother." Shougo crossed his arms and scoffed.

Rei looked at Shougo for a moment then drove off.

"Anything to get Izumi better and out of his room is fine with me." He stared at the road,focused.

He pulled up to the apartment building, Shougo got out of the car and immediately walked into the building, leaving Rei with the boxes.
Shougo knocked on the door as hard as he could until Ryoma answered.
Ryomas panicked and tried to close the door but Shougo stopped it from closing.

"I'm not here to hurt you. I just want you to tell Izumi something,anything, give him some answers."

Ryoma sighed and opened the door,"How's Izumi?"

"How do you think? You left him randomly and didn't even explain. Not a call or even a text!"
Shougo slammed his hand on the wall.

"When can I talk to him?"

"Now." Shougo grinned.

Ryoma was shocked, "okay, lets go."

Ryoma and Shougo rushed down the apartment building and got into the car.

"Rei change of plans, I'll be back with Ryoma soon enough. When you're done with these boxes give me a call and I'll pick you up."

Rei waved his hand and laughed, speeding off with the car leaving Rei.
They pulled up into the front of the house and entered.

"Izumi?" Ryoma yelled as he started walking up the steps. The minute he heard Ryomas voice, Izumi began to shake.
He put his face in the pillow and tried to cover his body with the blue blanket.

"It's Shougo and Ryoma, can we come in?"

Izumi started hysterically crying, Shougo heard and rushed into the door.

He hid his face in the pillow yet again but Shougo pulled the covers off of Izumi which caused him to cry more and louder.
Ryoma slowly walked up and sat down on the be, he touched Izumis shoulder.

"What do you want?"

He asked crying and sniffling.
"I hope you don't hate me, I came here to talk about us."

Izumi wiped the tears off of his cheek.

"Paparazzi have been taking pictures of us and that's ruining my career."

Ryoma kissed Izumi on his forehead but Izumi pushed him off.

"You care about your career more than us!?"

He sat up quickly. His eyes were extremely red, the bags under his eyes were worse than usual.

"I won't make any money and I'll have no where to go."

He tried to avoid eye contact
"Of course you have somewhere to go. You could've stayed here and you knew that! We just moved in together the day you left. Even without a job, you still could've stayed!"

He put his head back down into the pillow.
Ryoma didn't say a word. He knew that he messed up but he thought about what he should chose.

"Please give me another chance. I'll make it up to you."

"Why should I?" Izumi continued to sob.

"I'll take you out to dinner, if paparazzi come or anything happens I'll let everyone know we're dating."

He put his hand on Izumi's cheek, looking him in his eyes.
All Izumi did was nod his head while he wiped his tears away. He smiled a bit, he still had his doubts.

"I'll pick you up in two days, be ready by seven pm. Okay?"

He kissed Izumi on his cheek.
"I'm ready to go back to the apartment."

He looked at Shougo.
Shougo took a quick glance at his brother and walked out of the room.
Him and Ryoma walked out of the house and into the car.

"Thanks."

Shougo drove off to Ryomas apartment and as he pulled up Rei came out with the phone in his hand.

Back at the house Izumi could only think and question everything, what if Ryoma would make a fool out of him? What about moving in? If it doesn't work out will it be time for them to end?
So many questions yet Izumi tried to look on the bright side of it. He smiled thinking about if things were going to be good.
