  Man, it's been quite a while, hasn't it? Anyway, here's the update everyone was waiting for! I hope you enjoy it!🧡

"Hey Honcho, who is that?" Rantaro looks toward the sleeping blonde in the corner. "You seriously haven't heard of him?"

Valt sweatdrops and giggles slightly. "Heheh. I haven't."

Rantaro shakes his head with a chuckle. "He's the number 1 blader in the world! He hasn't been defeated once."

"What of it?"

Rantaro and Valt shrieked, making the blonde cover his ears.

They screamed a bit too loud...

"Shut up! Why are you two screaming!?" Sisco shouts. Rantaro of course retaliates.

"Eheheh.. So your Free de La Hoya right?" The blonde shifts his attention towards the blunette. "Mhm. That's me." Valt's eyes began to sparkle. "Then let's battle! What do you say-"

The blonde fell asleep... Again.

"Stupid jerk! Back off!" Sisco yells pushing Rantaro off of him. "Two can play it that game!! Come here!!"

"I'll leave those two be."

Valt found himself wandering the halls of BC Sol, sighing every once in a while. "It's strange. Don't you think Valtryek?" The bey glimmers, making the bluenette smile.

"Talking to your bey again??" Valt turns to see a scowling Sisco. "W-why, nevermind that! What are you doing here?" Sisco opens then shuts his mouth, shaking his head. "I-I need your help! Dammit, how should I say this.." Valt chuckles.

"Um. You're gay right?" Valt tilts his head. "Why are you asking? Is there something wrong?" Sisco's blush became visible. "N-no! It's not like that!" He fumbles his words. "I- need advice..." Sisco trailing off at the end.

"What was that?" Valt grins cheekily, making the taller male blush harder. "I need advice!" Valt laughs at Sisco, wiping the tears from his eyes. "Don't be afraid, it's okay!" Valt laughs again. Sisco sighs and nods. "This is so stupid..." Sisco smirks and looks at Valt.

In Valt's Dorm

"First off-" Honcho wipes his eyes. "WHY IS HE HERE!??" Valt covers the blonde's mouth, shaking his head. "He needs help from me, " Rantaro began to smile, trying to suppress the laugh arising. "Don't say a word!" Sisco exclaims.

°•°

"So... Tell me what's wrong." Sisco sighs softly, gripping the tiny, soft pillow Valt gave to him. "I wouldn't say I am gay myself but, im questioning whether I am or not." Valt tilts his head. "I get how you feel, I-" Sisco looks away from Valt blushing again. "Can you not tilt your head like that?" Valt apologizes and continues.

"I felt the same way with a really good friend of mine, we are dating now, but that's beside the fact, " Sisco nods, listening to Valt's story.

"I fell in love with Shu Kurenai, even though it was there in front of me, I kept denying it. That love was eating away at my soul." Valt sighs happily. "I couldn't tell him, I thought he wouldn't want to be around me, but he completely accepted me." Sisco closes his eyes for a bit. "And what if the person I like rejects me?" That's when Honcho steps in and wraps his arm on Sisco's shoulders. "It happens, Valt had kept quiet because of that factor." Sisco looks at Rantaro. "Being gay... means to be who you are, like the gender preference of your choice. Some people are very open about it, some choose to keep it locked in a closet."

Sisco looks down, now resting his head on Rantaro's shoulder. "Was it like that for you?" Rantaro sighs. "Yeah, in fact, Valt was the only person I told." Valt smiles sweetly. "It's just, you stay strong... Even when you hurt so much." Valt looks down, chuckling. "It was... Terrible." Sisco looks at Valt, seeing the tears from his eyes fall. "Sisco, you won't be happy! It will hurt you to the point where you cannot stop crying! Please!" The male bit his lip, Valt's voice was shaky.

Before he could say a word, the door opens. "Am I interrupting something." Sisco turns and then looks away. "Why now!" He screams to himself. "N-no, not at all. What is it Free?" The golden boy looks at Sisco, tilting his head. "Hey, " Sisco was hiding his face in Rantaro's neck. "Yeah?" Free sat next to Sisco, resting his head against him. "Can we talk please."

Sisco lifts his head to see a drowsy blonde. "Shouldn't you be asleep by now?? Guys, I'll take him to his room." Free shakes his head. "You follow me." Valt pretends to sip tea, not doing a great job hiding his smirk. Rantaro unwraps his arm and nudges him. "Go ahead! You two have fun." Sisco bites his lip and nods. "Let's go, Free."

Free and Sisco left the room, leaving Rantaro and Valt.

"It must've been tough for you..." Honcho shakes his head. "Nah! I knew he had a boy crush." Valt shakes his head and pouts. "Don't be that way!" Rantaro laughs. "Valt, sure I thought I liked him. But I don't, so can we change the subject to your crimson knight??" Valt blushes hard, making Rantaro laugh.

°•°

The two boys talked about the upcoming tournament, boys (of course), and whet to train together. "Hey, you hear that?" Valt and his friend leave the room to hear the main phone ringing. It was downstairs. Ange answers the phone while the two boys run down. "Hey now! Be careful you two! Sorry 'bout that, they are a rowdy bunch." A chuckle could be heard as the two boys run-up to Ange. "Oh, Valt Aoi? Sure thing sweety." Ange hands the phone to Valt with a smile, she whispers to "do not be too nasty" making him burn up.

"H-hello??" Valt was nervous, extremely nervous. "Why is my baby so nervous to speak to me?" Valt's heart began to pound. "Shu!! I-its really you!!" He could hear his boyfriends chuckle from the other side of the phone. "Yeah, it's me, the one and only." Valt chuckles. "Oh, is Rantaro there?" Valt nods and hands him the phone. "Yo! What up!" Rantaro says into the phone. "Everything is going great, how about you?"

Somehow, the young prodigy got a hold of BC Sol and was able to talk to Rantaro and Valt. After a while, Rantaro left Valt to speak with Shu. "...you can let it out now." Valt was already crying. "H-how did you.. know?" He says in between sniffs. "It's my right to know...  My love." Shu says. "I miss you, your touch, those loving, beautiful eyes. I want to see you again and not just on Tv." Valt felt the same way, he's tired of sitting in front of a TV is boyfriend appears on.

"W-when is your next tournament?" Shu sighs. "Is something wrong?" The prodigy smiles to himself. "Nothing is wrong Valt, nothing at all. It's just-" he began to tear up as well. "I-Im just surprised.. That you kept me in your thoughts." Valt smiles, wiping his tears. "Of course you would be in my thoughts! To strengthen myself to fight you! Then, maybe then..." Valt trails off. Shu tilts his head. "What was that? I couldn't hear you." Valt takes a deep breath. "Maybe.. I could be strong enough to stand next to you, hand in hand, and have no worries in the world."

Shu felt his heart race, more than it has already. "Valt I-" before he could continue someone came into the room. "It's late Shu, you need rest. Stop talking to your man and dream of him instead." Valt began to frown. "Why are you so worried about my rest, I can handle myself. Oh, and don't tell me what I can and cannot do so leave." Valt heard the door close and heard Shu's sigh.

"I'm so sorry about that baby, I love you... So so much. Remember that you are always in my thoughts, my dreams, my prayers. Sleep for today, wake up energized and ready to take on your next challenge. I'll be waiting for you... Okay? Sleep well my love, and good night..."
