Its been two weeks since Koki’s kicked his drug addiction. He no longer needs nor wants the vile the very thing that in the beginning helped him to deal with his problems. He’s found a new addiction, a safer addiction...well unless Kame wants to do something really kinky bed involving pain. But even with that Koki prefers the touch of his lover, Kazuya. The feel of being inside of him or Kame being inside of Koki..depending on the night, him and Kame have become addicted body and soul to each other. Guys and girls still hit on Kame right in front of Koki, but Koki knows he can trust Kame to be faithful and that he will always be there for him no matter what. Koki knows he’s turned into a hugging monster, he can’t stop touching the younger one. He just never knew Kame was just as much as a hugging monster as he is and that makes Koki happy.

“ You ready Koki? I mean this meeting has been coming for quite sometime now.” Kame asks as they are standing outside Maru’s front door, after Koki called and asked if he could stop by so they can clear the air and work on getting their friendship back.

Koki grabs Kame’s hand and with a reassuring squeeze he says, “ I’m sure baby. Despite everything that’s happened between the three of us, I do miss Maru and you do as well, don’t you?”

“ Yeah I do.” Kame says with a smile as Koki knocks on the door.

A few minutes later Maru opens his door...

“ Hey Koki, Kame. Come in.” He turns and goes into his living room so his friends have room to take off their shoes. They soon follow Maru into the living room and sit down on the couch.

“ I just want to say again how sorry I am for the things I’ve said and done. To be honest Koki, I was jealous of Kame. I was jealous because you allowed him to help you without fighting him over it when every time I tried you got angry and put quite a few holes in the walls. I was angry and jealous that Kame was the first one you trusted enough to come clean to about the drugs, I always felt like you didn’t trust me. But I can now understand why you went straight to Kame, he knew how best to help you kick your addictions. But what hurt even more was that you wouldn’t open up to me about how you were feeling when your grandfather passed away. I was naive about drugs and how to treat drug addicts. I always thought that you could just them all cold turkey, but after seeing what happened to you when you cut back like you did...I knew that if left in my care...you wouldn’t be sitting here. Now, I am glad Kame was there, not only the day we almost lost you, but for helping you every step of the way to getting clean. I don’t think I would be strong enough, unlike Kame, my feelings would’ve have gotten in the way.”

“ So that’s the reason why you blamed Kame and always called him names?” Koki asks interrupting Maru.

“Yes and that was wrong of me.” he turns to Kame and says, “ I’m sorry Kame. None of what happened to Koki was your fault and I was wrong to constantly blame for what Koki decided to do and I shouldn’t have reminded you of what happened two weeks ago. I forgot that you almost him as well.”

Kame just nods and says, “ He didn’t open up to me about his feelings over his grandfather right away either.”

“ Listen Maru, I knew that for the last three months of our relationship that neither one of us was happy. I could tell that there was someone else that you were thinking about and due to the drugs intensifying my feelings of abandonment I was just too afraid to let you go. Which only wound up by hurting both of us even more and for that I’m sorry. Like you, my feelings changed from Lover to friend when I realized I was developing feelings for Kame after I noticed his before I confessed to him. We both made mistakes and we can get passed this. Friends?” Koki asks.

“ Friends.” Maru smiles back and looks at Kame after letting Koki go.

“ So where’s my hug at Maru? I still want to be friends too.” He says and pouts cutely. An action that cause Koki to giggle and plant a light kiss on those pouty lips. Koki pulls away and Maru gives Kame a hug as well.

“ So are you doing?” Maru asks.

“ I have been completely clean for three weeks now and I’m doing good. I even found a new but safe addiction.” He answers as Kame turns a light shade of red.

“ Don’t tell me..I can guess.” He laughs as his friends tie their shoes. “ But I’m proud of you Koki. See at work tomorrow.” he closes the door.

Kame and Koki head back to Kame’s place, Koki not saying much. Its not until they get upstairs that Koki says whats going through his mind.

“ That was actually more difficult than I thought it would be. But he was honest and sincere when he was talking, while it always will bother me that he said those things to you I don’t get angry anymore over something that’s now in the past.” He says while he helps Kame with dinner.

“ I’m glad Koki. Maru’s been an important part our lives for a long time now and I didn’t want us to lose our best friend over something like this...now do you want peppers on your steak or just mushrooms?” He asks turning his attention back the task at hand.

“ Hmm...just a little.” Kame nods and asks Koki to set the table when he goes to put the salad out.

They just get started on dinner when Koki says, “ I love you Kazuya and I really couldn’t have gotten through any of this without you. Now I know you said that I already repaid you by giving you my heart, but I wanted to do something else for you as well.”

“ Which is..?”

Koki reaches into his jacket pocket, which was hanging on the back his chair, and pulls out a box. He hands said box to his partner and says, “ I saw this the other day when we were out shopping for your little brother’s birthday and I bought while you went to use the bathroom.”

“ What is it?” Kame’s curiosity was peaking at this point.

Koki says nothing and just motions for Kame to open his gift. Kame’s eyes go wide as he sees the expensive watch Koki gave him.

“ Wow Koki!! I love it! Thank you! Wait..what’s with the date on the back along with our initials?” he asks as he finishes his food.

“ Well...the date is the day that of our very first kiss and the night of our very first date. You know, the night that you brought the pizza to the hospital.” Koki answers while as he too finished eating.

“ Koki...I...” he doesn’t finish, instead he starts crying at the fact that Koki remembers such things. He clears his nose after a few minutes and flings his arms around Koki’s neck and guides him backwards towards the bedroom.

He pulls Koki down on top of him and says, “ I love you so much, Koki. I love the watch thank you.” He smiles and with so much passion and love for the man hovering above he pulls Koki’s head down and bites his bottom lip asking for entrance. Smiling as well Koki obliges and they spend the rest of the night never leaving the bedroom or each other’s arms.
