I. CHAPTER 1

/ i can vividly remember the day i realized our relationship was fading. the day i saw the love in your eyes completely vanish. but i sit here, going through old photos bringing back those memories of when we were perfect. everyone loved us together. do you remember, wara? /

"babe, have you seen my Metallica shirt anywhere? i cant find it." wara yelled down the long hallway of his shared apartment. "babe?" he called again after not hearing a response.

he decided to walk into the bathroom where he suspected rooki to be. after taking a quick glance, he hadn't seen anyone.

"BOO!" a shout came from behind him and he shot back around, seeing his boyfriend in — of course — his Metallica shirt. "Damn rooki! you'll cause a heart attack one day." he breathed.

"sorryyyy~, i knew it'd be funny." he chuckled. wara admired how amazing rooki looked in his shirt. "oh, do you want it?" he asked.

"no, it looks way better on you. i have others." wara winked.

/ the thing i admire about you the most, is that no matter how long we're together you're always such a flirt. no day was ever boring with you, i always expected that bright smile and a million compliments. /

the boys headed out for the day to hang with friends and whatever else they would come up with in the city. it was a warm friday night with no worry in the world, the options were infinite to them. rooki loved the feeling of the warm breeze flowing through his hair, fingers linked with wara's as they strolled the sidewalks.

they walked in silence for a moment, listening to their footsteps sync. wara inhaled deeply, "it feels great out here. but where should we go?" they both thought about places to go and who to invite. "why don't we grab something to eat," rooki insisted. "and invite the rest of the guys?" wara liked the idea and they headed to their desired restaurant and called up their friends.

"can i get some more lobster with extra dipping sauce? OH, and more water." huke asked the waiter. its like he had a pit in his stomach, he was never not hungry. rooki sat silently finishing up his ramen and shrimp while the rest of them chatted away about anything and everything. He took the time to observe the guys as they eat, laugh and talk away like there was no problem in the world. he loved that feeling, he never wanted to lose a single friend in that group, especially wara. rooki knew he was a real keeper the moment he first saw him.

/ ahh, those days where we were all together and never had a problem. you remember those days, dont you? if we weren't stealing glances at each other at a restaurant, you were holding me in your arms while we all sat at home playing games or watching TV. i couldnt have asked for anything better. /

The two enjoyed the late night walk back home after filling up on their most favorite foods.

"wara?" rooki squeezed the brunette's hand.

"what, babe?" he looked down at rooki who was almost pouting.

"would anything make you love me any less?" wara was puzzled by the random question, but he smiled and stopped rooki in the middle of the sidewalk, right in front of their home.

"ill always love you, rooki. you could shave your head and lose a leg and id still love you with my entire heart. you could rob a bank and go to prison, and id be home waiting on you, loving you more and more each day." He finished with a kiss on rooki's forehead and he smiled the biggest smile. they both went inside to relax for the rest of the night.

rooki knew nothing could get in the way of their love. at least, that's what he wanted to believe.
