Love That Never Saved Me

Battle of the Exes

       N/A: This is the shortest chapter of the story. I'm sorry for the wait and maybe the quality but I wanted to get something out there for you guys. 

         "So, he just accepted it?" 

        "Yes, he did. How many times do I have to tell you, Kouyou?" Takanori lied. He felt horrible but he couldn't tell Kouyou what actually happened. That would've a serious problem  but Takanori was convinced that Akira was drunk though he never smelled alcohol on him. 

        "That just doesn't sound like Akira. To just give up someone he loves like that."

        "He did with you." Takanori said smiling. Kouyou was over his apartment and was in the kitchen, talking to Takanori who was in the living room until he came in after Takanori's last statement.

        "Okay, that's not funny." Takanori continued to laugh.

        "Hai! It is funny. Want to know why?" Takanori said, becoming serious. "Because you want to talk shit about my boyfriend all the time, I'll talk shit about your previous, one-sided relationship." 

        "Oh okay!? I came over here to ju-!"

        "I didn't need to come over and confirm what's going on in my life. Yes. Yutaka and I are together now that he's not with Akira. He broke up with him yesterday. Do I need to write it down for you?" Takanori was on the verge of tears because the plethora of emotions surging through him and Kouyou could see that but he was still too angry to care. Kouyou sighed and went to grab his phone and keys that were on a table by Takanori's door. "Yeah, just leave."

        "Well, I thought what you said was the equivalent of kicking me the fuck out. So yeah, I'm leaving." Kouyou opened the door, letting himself out. 

        "Kouyou, wait!" The door closed. "Damn it." Takanori sighed and sat on his couch in front of the TV. Koron came by sensing his distress and tried get Takanori's attention but he started to cry. Why did he have to say shit like that? He knew Kouyou and Akira's past was off limits, even for him but he still used it against him. His best friends. Or if they were still friends. He thought, friends fight all the time but Kouyou was quite sensative about that subject. Akira and him used to go out, before the GazettE started and they seemed happy. Until after some time Akira told Takanori that he had started to fall out of love with Kouyou and he was falling for someone else. He never told Takanori who the person was, and he doubted that there ever was such a person. It may have been an excuse to break up with Kouyou. They had a huge fight one night and Kouyou ended up staying with Takanori for a little while since he moved in with Akira. Takanori asked what the fight was about but Kouyou couldn't really give a straight answer. But whatever it was about, they refuse to talk about it or anything and after awhile they started talking like nothing happened. Koron started barking to try to get Takanori to stop crying. "I'm sorry Koron, I don't feel like playing right now." 

        He got up and went into his bedroom and closed the door. He wanted to call Yutaka and talk to him about what was happening, just to vent out to him. He took his phone off it's charger and dialed Yutaka's number in, hoping he'd pick up.

        "Hello, Taka." He said in a notably playfully seductive tone. But Takanori wasn't in the mood for games. 

"Yutaka, Kouyou and I just had a fight. And I don't think he'll talk to me for awhile. Could you please come over, if you aren't busy?" Takanori was surprised he was able to let all that out without bawling onto the floor. He could he background noise on Yutaka's end and he was sure that he was busy. "It sounds like you're busy, I can call ba-."
