~Banana Fish Fanfiction~ Eiji often found himself without companionship. He woke up alone, he worked alone and he fell asleep alone. One day, something inside Eiji clicked. He wasn't sure if it was the daring smirk, the unwashed lemon hair, or the simple body language of the other man that told Eiji that he was free- that something, anything had to change. Eiji though fearful of his life, followed that man into a dark world. He didn't want to be just another burden to him, what Eiji wanted- was the secret to a life not written alone.

Marco loved him when they first met on that cold, autumn day. Marco always loved him, but was too scared to admit it... Too scared of his new best friend becoming his new worst enemy. Jean was never sure of anything in his life, but could the thing that seemed utterly wrong be totally and completely right? Jean started falling in love with the freckled boy, but frightened for all the same reasons plus worried of what his mother would think, he never confessed. If either confesses, well it's hard to say... If everything will be alright...

Everything is now over and everything will be back to normal. That should go for all who suffered the long time of war and pain, wins and losses, gains and loses. But Eiji is an exception. It's now time to return to his homeland, Japan. He feels a void in his heart as he boards the plane and he knows very well what can fill that void. It's that person he shared all his pains with. The only person he can't bear to lose, the only person he desires to see before he leaves. But he can't turn back now. He's made up his mind and he knows what he's doing is for the best. "Eiji." A voice rings in his ears. He knows that voice. He knows who called him and he listens to it. "I'm sorry Ibe-san but I'm going down." He doesn't want to leave and regret this for the rest of his life. He needs to see Ash right now. He needs to be with him. So he makes a decision and takes the risk. But, did he make the right choice? Or did he make a choice that will make him want to reset time and wish he never went off the plane?
