The call came to an abrupt stop...

Shu's voice could no longer be heard through the phone. It was complete silence in the room Valt was present in.

"T-thats weird... He wouldn't just hang up suddenly, would he?" The smaller male questions himself, clearing his head of the worst-case scenarios he came up with.

"Maybe he had to leave, they probably have a curfew or something." Valt sighs to himself and hangs the phone back up.

...

"So, what happened?" A quiet, monotone voice asks.

Valt turns to see Free, wearing Sisco's fur jacket.

"Oh! Hey Free! Um, nothing happened, Shu and I just had a conversation and-"

Free yawns, tilting his head

"Did I wake you up..?"

...

Free shakes his head no, pulling the jacket up more. "No, don't worry. Im just waiting for Sisco."

The two males sat in silence, casually speaking here and there until Sisco arrived.

"H-hey! What are you two doing up!?" Sisco exclaims towards the two males.

"Free was waiting for you slow butt to hurry up," Valt says shaking his head. "Tsk tsk tsk, you shouldn't keep a man waiting for so long."

Sisco's face became flushed, causing the blonde to blush slightly. "A-ah... I'm sorry for keeping you waiting... Baby."

Valt's eyes lit up, looking towards Free to see the slender male covering his face. "It's fine, can we go to sleep now?" Sisco smiles weakly and walks to the blonde.

"Yeah, let's go. You going to bed Valt?" He says picking Free up bridal-style. "Y-yeah I'll go to sleep in a bit. You and Free hurry along."
The couple left to go to their room, leaving Valt alone.

With a sigh, the bluenette got up from the chair and made his way towards the stairs. Before he could take the first step up, the phone began to ring once again.

In a flash, Valt ran to the phone, answering quickly. "H-hello?"

"Oh, so this is the boy he speaks to every night?"

Valt stays on the phone, not saying a word. Even though he had so many questions, he remains silent.

"Hi, my name is Theodore Glass, manager of the Raging Bulls,"

Valt then spoke, "Hello, my name is Valt Aoi. Is there something you need?"  The man on the phone chuckles, sending chills down Valt's back.

"It's good to know that Shu has a goal he's thriving to achieve... All I ask is that you and Shu talk less. Is that Al-"

"Shut up!! Just go!"

That voice... Shu? Why does he sound like he's in distress? The bluenette tried to remain calm, hearing the screams on the other end.

"Baby don't listen to him! He's just being annoying!"

"Baby? Oh, I see now."

With that, the phone hangs up again...

"What is going on..? Should I wait..?" Valt sighs, waiting by the phone

Hours...

Upon Hours

Still no call

~~~

"Valt? Hey, wake up hon." Ange says softly. Valt didn't budge, that's when Ange noticed. Dry tears on his cheeks, he has been crying...

"GOOD MORNING!!!" Rantaro exclaims rushing down the stairs. "Valt! Wake up sleepy head!" Rantaro says, walking up to him.

"Wait, why was he sleeping here? Did something happen?"

A soft sniffle could be heard from the smaller male. "I-i don't feel well. Can I go to my room.." Valt lifts his head, smiling weakly.

"Of course hon, I'll let Chris know how you are feeling alright?" Ange helps Valt up and acted as his support up the stairs.

"What happened to you, little buddy..."

Last Night

"What is wrong with you! Do you have any idea how long we have been apart!"

The prodigy exclaims, anger filling his body. His crimson eyes glowing as each word flooded from his mouth.

"He needs my support... And I need his, to give me hope, comfort, everything above that! So why would you-"

All Theodore could do was laugh seeing how weak this male was.

"You must think his love alone will get you far, no wonder you are so weak." His sharp eyes stared through Shu's soul, piercing whatever hope he had.

"Free De La Hoya will soon be transferring here, have you heard of him?"

The prodigy remained silent.

"Seems like you do know, who wouldn't? As stated, he will be transferring here, do you really think you have what it takes?"

Shu scoffed, "I could beat him with my eyes closed. I could care less if he's the top blader in the world!"

He looks at Theodore once more...
A smile plastered across the male's face.

"I will not lose, not to the likes of you, Free, or anybody!"

"When were you planning on telling me Free?"

The blonde just looks up at Sisco, his muscular arms tightly wrapped around his sides.

"I didn't know how you would react. If I were to tell you with everyone around.. It would cause a scene-"

Sisco sighs and kisses Free's forehead, leaning his against it after.

"Of course I would cause a scene... My boyfriend is transferring to another place far from Spain."

Free looks down, taking a deep sigh.

"But," the blonde looks back at him to see a toothy grin on Sisco's face.

"If Valt is strong enough to be away from his beloved, I can do the same... But better." The blonde chuckles.

"Righhtt, because you are better at everything?"

"Damn right!"

"Heh... You idiot." Free places a kiss on the tall male's lips, smiling afterward.

"We should check up on Valt, I heard he wasn't feeling well." Sisco nods, the blonde gets up from his lap and towards the door.

"Slowpoke~"

"H-hey! Free!!!"

~~~

"S-should I even bother...? Should I be doing anything at this point?" Valt questions himself.

"Is he complaining about me..? He could have hung up the phone if I was annoying him."

The male tightly hugs his pillow and began to cry softly... Alone in his room.

"I'm so sorry Shu.. I really am. Please don't let me go..!"
