Kaito leans against the balcony, gazing at the moon and the shiny stars glimmering in the night sky, as he waits for a certain blonde guy to arrive.

Soon after, Ryo sneaks into the bedroom, surprised to see his roommate awake in the middle of the night. "Where have you been?" The intellectual asks the blonde without turning around.

The blonde boy jumps, startled to see the crimson-haired guy standing outside on the balcony at 3am. He turns around to face the surprised male, awaiting for an answer, although he already knows.

"Well... (Y/n) had a bad dream, so I told her a bedtime story." Ryo states simply, and the intellectual smirks.

"You told her a bedtime story?" He repeats mockingly, and the blonde nods, yawning.

"Yeah dude... I'm going back to bed."

Anger and jealously bubbles inside of Kaito, and he yanks his friend harshly by the arm, dragging him back for more answers.

I should have been the one to comfort (Y/n), not him. Damn... I lost my moment yet again.'

The intellectual simply pushes his glasses up, hiding his feelings, as the blonde shuffles free from his grasp, laughing carelessly.

"So," Kaito carries on, his blood-red hair glinting beneath the moon "What was (Y/n)'s so-called bad dream about?"

Ryo's careless expression suddenly turns serious, and once again, his fists tremble with burning hatred, as his brown eyes stare down at the balcony floor.

He wavers a little with hatred as he speaks.

"I could see it through her head..." The blonde barely whispers "That guy... That idiot... His hands were wrapped around her neck, s-she couldn't breathe..."

Kaito raises an eyebrow at the brown-eyed guy, who is busy shaking in fury.

'Ryo looks so angry...' The intellectual notices 'I've never seen him so angry before, interesting.'

His thoughts are broken off again as the blonde continues.

"He kept on strangling her... Shouting in her face... When s-she woke up, she looked so.... Frightend. Frightened of me." All the while, Ryo looks down at the floor, his brown eyes hidden behind his blonde hair, but suddenly, the tears begin to prick at the back of his eyes.

The red-haired male stares in shock at his childhood best friend, the emotional state he is in, and his teal-eyes flash a little as he panics.

'Damn it... Is Ryo going to cry?'

Ryo continues with his story as the intellectual listens silently, his teal eyes fixed on him.

"S-she... Wouldn't even l-look at me, she was so a-afraid. And... It was because of... M-me."

A single, sad tear escapes from the male's brown eyes, still hidden beneath his hair, and drops on the patio. Kaito watches in horror as another tear falls, then another, and soon the brown-eyed has a river of tears rolling down his face.

He shakes and sobs uncontrollably, falling to his knees as he wipes his face, forgetting about the happy moment he'd had encountered with the female before. All the while, the panicked intellectual stares at the broken younger male on the floor.

Kaito scratches his red-hair awkwardly, glancing around him in case some sort of saviour would come to help the crying blonde. Of course, that doesn't happen.

"Snap out of it, Ryo." The teal-eyed male crouches down to grab Ryo by the shoulders, shaking him as if to get some sense of normality through the guy again. Ryo quietly sobs, ignoring the helpless male's efforts. He considers slapping the blonde on the face to snap him out of his crying state.

"M-My angel i-is going to l-leave me, Kaito." The blonde male wails like a child, and Kaito feels his temper and panic rising. He attempts to remain calm as he adjusts his glasses, and tries to reason with Ryo again.

"Don't say that, Ryo. She won't do that." Kaito reassures the blonde through gritted teeth as a means of comfort. The intellectual watches the crying guy below him with his arms folded, but yet again, his efforts are wasted. With Kaito's childhood having hardly any comfort or affection, he is mostly incapable of giving it to others properly.

"Damn it, SHUT UP!" The infuriated intellectual screams at the broken Ryo, finally losing his short temper. The crimson-haired male kicks the blonde angrily, who remains curled up in a sulk.

Eventually, Kaito's temper dies down like a raging fire burning to mere ashes, and he sighs. He bends down to face the blonde on the floor, his teal eyes softening a little.

"Ryo?"

No response.

'God... I can't believe I'm about to do this...'

Kaito winces as he flops down on the floor, restless and defeated. He leans forward, over to Ryo, and awkwardly wraps his arms around the emotional male.

Suddenly, Ryo flings himself on the red-haired male, sobs slowly subsiding as he is wrapped in the older guy's warm embrace. Kaito flinches at his friend's sudden encounter in his personal space, but annoyed, gives in as the blonde burries into his shoulder.

"There, there..." The intellectual mutters tiredly to the male in his arms, as the moon and stars shine down on them.

"S-she... was so scared of me." Ryo murmurs sadly into his friend's shoulder, and Kaito hushes him, rocking the Ryo gently as he cradles the guy in his arms.

"Shhh, you did your job." The red-haired male whispers, finally relaxed. "You did your job, you made her happy."

~Bonus scene~ ;)

"Aww, they are so cute!" (Y/n) squeals as she takes out her phone, snapping a picture at the two sleeping guys. "I already shipped them before, so I was one step ahead of all of you all!"

The other four males stare at their two friends in disbelief: Kaito is lying on the floor, his glasses slightly askew on his red head, and his arm is wrapped lazily around Ryo, who is sleeping next to him, curled up under his shoulder.

Bako starts to smirk slowly, but Ren, Jin and Alex are too shocked to react properly.

"Should we wake them up?" Jin asks precariously, his green eyes still fixed on the two males on the floor, as the sun shines down on the balcony where they all are standing. "We're going to miss breakfast."

A wide grin forms on the coal-haired male's lips, and he joins in with he laughter of his azure friend. "Let them wake up by themselves," Ren smirks, his dark eyes glinting.

Alex shrugs, as he tries to drag (Y/n), busy in her fangirl state, away from the scene as they make their way downstairs for breakfast, along with the other awake males. They leave the other guys sleeping on the Room 1 balcony floor together.

A/n notes: Skip if you want.

Sooo this chapter is mainly just Kaito and Ryo fluff, I guess? I'm sorry that this chapter is short, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway XD

Until next time, bye ^^
