I do not own Gakuen Heaven or any of its amazing characters.

Summary: Bell Liberty Academy is home to the most gifted boys in Japan. All of the students possess a very special ability, making them outcasts from the rest of society. This school is their haven, their heaven. This story will contain male/male parings, and some strong language here and there. This story may even remind you of X-Men. I’m not really sure if this will be a crossover or not, since there will be no characters from X-Men in it. It might even remind many of Heroes, too. Hmm, such a dilemma this is. Oh, well, enjoy the story, ya’ll.

Chapter Ten

The sun was slowly sinking into the shimmering green water in the distance as Keita sat on the rocky shore with the blonde tennis god. He was watching how he was carefully sorting through all the pretty stones and other treasures they had discovered while playing on the beach.

“What do you think, Honey?” Naruse asked, holding out his hand filled with shiny treasures. “Will this do?”

Keita gave him a very warm smile, nodding his head. He didn’t have to look at them. He knew they were all absolutely stunning.

“Just knowing that you’re my friend is all I really need.” Keita told him, loving how good the cool breeze off the darkening water felt on his skin. It made his red locks dance around his petal smooth white face like licks of flame.

Naruse smiled. He felt so warm and happy on the inside. He felt acceptance from this wonderful blue-eyed deity, where all others had turned from him in horror. He wanted to decorate his whole body with nothing but his affection.

“Hey!” A voice called out from behind them. “So, this is where you two have been!”

The two of them turned their heads around to see that it was Kazuki making his way down to them. He had changed into a pair of faded jeans and had on a thin white sweater.

Keita’s heart started beating like the wings of a hummingbird that had an outrageous sugar-high. The same could be said for his feelings towards Naruse as well. He felt like he was going to faint at any moment. All these super sexy guys were going to give him a nosebleed.

He watched how the lavender-eyed stud kicked off his shoes and ran barefoot towards them, hopping from rock to rock like some graceful feline. It was so sexy to watch.

“Hi,” Keita smiled with white teeth when Kazuki sat down right between the two of them. He didn’t hear the near silent growl from the blonde.

Kazuki gave him a pearly white grin and turned to look at Naruse. Those emerald eyes were filled with acidic jealousy.

“May I speak with you?” Kazuki asked the tennis god. “In private…”

Naruse narrowed his eyes to poisonous slits and slowly nodded his head. The two of them got to their feet.

“We’ll be right back, Keita,” Kazuki told him and Keita saw that there was some kind of sadness lingering in those wondrous eyes.

He nodded, catching the playful kiss Naruse blew to him. It made the blonde chuckle with joy when Keita acted like it was trying to escape from him.

He watched the two of them walk off into some gathering shadows and he lied down on his back. A few stars were starting to light up over his head. He hoped to see a shooting star.

Naruse followed Kazuki over behind some trees and knew they were about to fight it out, again. He really was getting tired of it. Why couldn’t Kazuki just let him be?

“You showed him.” Kazuki said, keeping his back to him. “You showed Keita your true face.”

Naruse glared daggers into his back. He was really pissed. Why was this jerk always spying on him?

“He accepts you.” Kazuki said, turning around, looking at him with wet eyes. “He didn’t run away.”

Naruse gawked. Why in the nine hells were there tears in his eyes? He didn’t look like the icy Kazuki at all. He looked like a lost teen with such a deep sadness. It seemed to mirror his pain as well and he hated it.

“He’s so innocent,” Kazuki whispered and the soft breeze vanished from the still air. “And he’s as pure as fresh fallen snow.”

Naruse noticed that some leaves were frozen in the air. What in the world was going on?

“I won’t hurt him.” He said, holding up his hands. “I…”

“You love him.” Kazuki said, stepping towards him with glowing eyes. “We both did…do.”

“What are you doing?” Naruse asked, taking a small step back from those spooky advancing eyes.

“I want to show you,” Kazuki said, tears streaming down his face. “Let me show you?”

Naruse was seriously freaking the hell out now. Had the guy lost his mind? Kazuki didn’t cry. He made others do the crying for him. This was so wrong.

Naruse put his hand on the slightly shorter man’s muscular chest, stopping his blind advance. He looked into those spooky lavender jewels and could literally see the pain swimming in them.

“Fine,” he said, removing his palm. “But, don’t you dare grope me.”

Kazuki grinned, putting his hands on either side of Naruse’s temples. “That’s your job.”

Naruse was about to retort only for his head to be thrown back as the images and voices assaulted his mind. His knees trembled and he was holding onto Kazuki’s wrists with his talons. He wanted to scream in horror, but he was mute.

Suddenly, it was over, and tears were flowing from his eyes. Kazuki slowly removed his palms, sliding down the taller length of Naruse’s body, wrapping his arms around his trembling knees, sobbing. He rested his head against his upper thigh.

Naruse was shaking. How could he have forgotten all that? Keita? How could he have forgotten his Honey?

“Please, forgive me?” Kazuki whispered, looking up at him in pain. “It was too much for you. I had to take it away.”

The shining crystal clear tears dripped from Naruse’s golden cheeks to land on Kazuki’s smooth forehead. He wanted to punch the bastard’s lights out. He had made him forget all about his Honey.

“Why?” He asked, wondering why he wasn’t using him as a scratching post.

“I cared about the two of you too much,” Kazuki cried, squeezing his knees, wanting him to understand. “You would have died. I couldn’t let that happen. I couldn’t…”

Naruse trembled. There was so much blood and so many screams. Kazuki loved him? He had forgotten that as well.

“Please,” Kazuki begged. “Help me keep him safe. Help me protect him from the evil and the hate that pollutes this world we’re forced to crawl in. He’s the only one that keeps me sane…you…I had to keep you close…I had to protect you, too.”

“Let me go,” Naruse whispered.

Kazuki gasped, looking at him in pain. Why was he doing this? Why was he opening up to him now? He slowly let him go. He needed his help. He couldn’t be with Keita all the time. The elder was going to push Keita to his limits to determine how much power he possessed.

Naruse looked down at him. He could see Keita covered in blood, lying in his arms. He was screaming for Kazuki to stop.

“KAZ!” He was screaming in fear, trying to wake Keita up. “STOP!”

Kazuki had lost it and was killing everyone in his lavender sights. Blood was flowing from eyes and guts were coming out of mouths.

“HE SHOT HIM!” Kazuki wailed, hair flapping around his face violently, causing limbs to tear themselves off of running bodies in bloody snaps of bone and tearing flesh. “THEY ALL HAVE TO DIE!”

The blood-filled screams were terrible to hear.

He snapped out of it and gently pulled the trembling teen to his feet. “I love him.”

“I do to,” Kazuki whispered, knowing he would fall should he let go of him. “I love him so much…I love…”

“You’re heavy,” Naruse suddenly complained, pulling him over to a fallen tree. “Sit down.”

Kazuki bit his tongue and did so. His pride was gone when it came to this guy. He felt like he was a little kid again and wanted to hit him for being mean.

“I love him and you love him,” he said, sitting down in front of Kazuki on his knees. “What do we do?”

“We keep him safe,” Kazuki said, drying his eyes with his sleeve. “And we let him choose should he decide to.”

Naruse frowned. “What if he chooses me?”

“I’ll let it be,” Kazuki said, and it was a lie. “And what if he chooses me?”

“I’ll strangle you, hide your body, and comfort him when they finally discover you.” Naruse told him matter of fact.

Kazuki snorted, wiping his nose, saying in jest, “I really don’t like you.”

Naruse shrugged. “I know.”

Kazuki looked at him, pulling a twig from a golden lock. He closed his eyes, listening to Keita’s heartbeat in the distance.

“Umm,” Naruse asked, and Kazuki saw that he was blushing. “I know this is a long shot…but, what if he was to choose the both of us?”

Kazuki blinked. Was such a thing possible? Would he be all right with that?

“Well, if he should do so,” Kazuki said, suddenly frowning. “What side of the bed do you sleep on?”

“The right,” Naruse said, shivering.

“Oh, dear,” Kazuki said, shaking his head. “We’re going to have a problem.”

Naruse narrowed his eyes and punched him right in the nose.

Kazuki’s head snapped backwards, and he fell off the log, landing flat on his back with his feet up in the air. He grabbed his nose, hissing in pain. His eyes were watering like a mother. “What the fuck, Nar?”

“You deserve that, you asshole!” Narsue hissed.

Kazuki’s eyes glowed and he suddenly pounced up into the air with kinetic force. He landed on top of Naruse and they both fell with hisses and snarls.

“I’ll strangle you until you piss on yourself!” Naruse yelled, punching him in the ribs.

Kazuki cried out, head-butting him in the nose, flipping him over so that he was on top. He slapped him across the right cheek and then bitch-slapped him across the left even harder. “And I’ll pull all your hair out by its black roots!”

“Bring it, whore!” Naruse snarled, kneeing him in the groin. “I’m a natural blonde, you ass!”

Kazuki fell over with a hiss, holding himself. “You’re so dead!”

Dust and leaves filled the air.

Keita’s molten blue eyes flickered open and he was gazing up at a deep violet sky which was littered with trillions of glittering diamonds. He could not help but smile when he spotted his shooting star. It simply blazed across the sky, leaving a sparkling silver trail of dust in it dazzling wake. He made his wish, noticing that there were two people sitting on either side of him.

“Kazuki?” He asked, looking over, turning his head to the other side. “Naruse?”

They both grunted in answer and he moved to sit up.

“Sorry for falling asleep,” he said, stretching like a kitty. “Why didn’t you wake me? It must be so late…”

“You simply looked too adorable to disturb, Honey,” Naruse told him.

Kazuki nodded.

“Oh,” Keita smiled, looking from one to the other with a petal pink blush. “Shall we head back then?”

The two of them nodded.

Okay, Keita thought, what the hell is going on?

“Oh,” he said, getting up, too. “What about the picnic stuff?”

Naruse held up the basket, offering his free hand for him to take. Kazuki did the same.

“It’s dark,” Kazuki said, not looking at him. “We don’t want you to fall.”

“Ah,” Keita muttered, taking both their hands, walking in the middle.

Okay, he thought, why won’t they look at me?

“I had a lot of fun today,” he said, squeezing their hands in his.

Naruse nodded. “Wait until you see my picnic spot. You’ll love it.”

Kazuki rolled his eyes.

“I heard that!” Narsue snapped in irritation.

“Heard what?” Kazuki asked.

“You’re eye-rolling over there,” he hissed.

“Uh huh, sure you did,” Kazuki teased. “I always thought you were a little crazy.”

The two of them bickered backwards and forth as they made their way through the darken forest. There were lightning bugs all over the place. It was so pretty.

“Oh, yeah!” Naruse roared. “Well, your sister is so fat, when her ass rolls over in bed, she’s still on top!”

“I don’t have a sister, you idiot.” Kazuki deadpanned. The blonde was so noisy. “And just for the record, eww, gross.”

“Hey!” Keita snapped, finally able to see their faces in the lamp lights. “What the hell happened to your faces?”

Kazuki’s left eye was black and swollen. Naruse’s right eye was black and his bottom lip was busted. The two teens looked at each other in sudden fright. What were they going to do?

“Oh, Honey!” Naruse wailed, suddenly getting an idea, and went with it. He threw his arms around him ever so tightly. “It was just plain horrible! This big bad wolf came out of nowhere and tried to make off with our leftovers while we were cleaning up.”

“Uh, yeah!” Kazuki said, scratching his head. “But, we beat him up and sent him howling with his tail between his legs.”

The two of them looked at each other and laughed nervously.

Keita just stood there. They had been fighting. So, he went along with it.

“Oh, no!” He cried, snatching the basket from the blonde. “Is my leftover chicken all right?”

“Hmm?” Narsue asked. “What are we?”

Kazuki nodded. “Chopped liver?”

“Oh!” Keita smiled, looking up at the two of them with big blue eyes. “That sounds super yummy.”

The two of them collapsed on the bench that happened to hop in from out of nowhere, sitting beside each other. They had been spared from the Storm.

Keita put a finger to his bottom lip and giggled. His heart was beating a million miles an hour. Had the two of them been fighting over him? He was so going to have to do something about that.
