As hours turned to days, and days turned to three weeks, Janos grew antsy. The boy he loved was still trapped under the icy front Lucifer placed him under.

Feeling trapped in his own skin, Janos left the house with a sigh. His mind lit up in a blazing fire of past memories of the beginning of the two of them. Everything had begun and ended in the same location.

A small child of twelve years had eyes glazed over with worry as he wandered through the huge forest. He tightly held the small dog plush to his chest, as though if he let go he would perish.

Tears quickly rolled down his pale cheeks as he stumbled. He fell over a rotting log with a loud wail as he held his bleeding knee. He feebly held his scratched knee with one hand as the other still held onto the plush.

"Are you okay?" A fourteen year old boy asked as he slowly knelt beside the crying younger boy. He gazed over the smaller boy with a kind smile that reached his eyes.

"No Thane, I'm not. I've never been okay." Janos's eyes filled with tears. He mindlessly rubbed the scar on his knee as another memory surfaced.

"No son of mine will be a faggot!" Janos's father yelled. The man could not believe his only son would bring home another boy with a romantic interest.

"Dad—"

"I want you out by tomorrow. I'm done with this, Janos!" He barked to the eighteen year old. His eyes were blazing with an anger Janos had never seen before.

Janos stood up from his bed that next morning, feeling numb. He knew though that Thane was worth losing his father. He blankly exited the house he grew up in and wandered to his boyfriend's house.

As he softly knocked on the door tears rolled down his cheeks. He had always been a buy who wore his heart on his sleeve, today being an example.

"Thanie," He sniffled, "I need you." Said boy had opened the door and quickly threw his arms around his sobbing boyfriend. He softly brung the younger male close to him and laced his fingers through his brown hair soothingly,

"Come inside, Jaejae, I'll make some tea." He spoke, still combing his fingers through Janos's locks. He softly pulled Janos into his living room, where he lead him to sit.

"I-I don't want tea, I just need you. Please, stay with me, you're all I have." He whined and buried his tear-soaked face in the side Thane's neck. He wrapped his arms around Thane wherever his arms could reach.

"Jae, baby, what happened? Why are you crying this hard?" Thane asked, his heart wrenching and breaking with each sob his lover let out. He held Janos back tightly and lovingly.

"My father found out about us, Thanie. He- he kicked me out! He said he didn't want a faggot of a son, so he kicked me out!" Janos stuttered through tears. He calmed down slightly in the older male's hold; Thane''s hands rubbing soft circles on his back.

"Things may seem dismal now, but what rainbow comes without any rain?" Thane whispered as he rubbed his nose on Janos's cheek. He kissed his cheek and pulled Janos to face him.

"What good happens without any bad? Now, come on, smile! I don't like seeing your tears, baby." Thane says as he wiped the tears away on Janos's puffy cheeks. He blew a raspberry on Janos's neck, knowing it would bring forth a giggle.

"Stop, it tickles!" Janos laughed and tried to slide away from his boyfriend. Thane only tightened his grip on the younger with a sweet smile.

"No, you're mine, Jung Janos!" Thane exclaimed and let his fingers tauntingly tickle Janos's sides. Once he figured he had abused the younger enough, he leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.

Before Janos's could respond, Thane had already bounced up from the couch and ran towards the door.

"You have to catch me if you want another one!" Thane laughed then joyously shrieked as Janos stood up from the couch. Janos quickly tied his shoes before racing out of the house. He shut the door and turned to face the woods; his eyes gazed over the trees in search of the sweater-clad older.

He spotted a mauve colored figure running, and his eyes lit up, a smile that reached his eyes. He chased after Thane with a happy grin.

After running for a few minutes, Janos finally caught the older male. He wrapped his arms around Thane's waist and lifted him into the air and spun him around.

"I caught you~" Janos smiled. He leaned in for another kiss, only for Thane to pull away quickly.

"Best out of three!" He shouted. Thane once again ran away from the younger.

"Aw not fair!" Janos jokingly huffed as he began to chase Thane again.

"Catch me, Jae!" Thane sneered and dodged Janos's arms.

"I will!" Janos promised. His blood then ran cold as he noticed the cliff behind Thane.

"Tae, baby , watch out!" Janos shouted. However, he was too late; Thane had already slid down the hill.

"Thane!" Janos shouted down the hill.

"Thane, I'm so sorry." Janos weeped, his cheeks staining with tears as he looked over the cliff. From the two centuries that had passed, the sharp rocked had eroded, green moss grew at the bottom.

"A Love so true, it blinds the weak." Yao's words resonated through Janos's skull. Janos has wracked his brain day after day, hour after hour in hopes of finding a way to break his lover free.

"Oh my god, that's it!" Janos exclaimed as he gazed down the cliff. His eyes watered with happiness as his brain became chaotic with hopeful thoughts.

  "I'm coming, Thanie. This time, I'll catch you, I swear it!"
