Author's notes: Don't want to hear it, don't want to hear it, don't want to hear it. I wanted to write this, so I don't care who hates it, Yes, it's Shounen-ai. Pai X Kisshu to be exact. EACH chapter is a songfic. When I upload this to fanfiction, the lyrics will be removed. For the full version and the full effect, I'll have the link on my profile. It might take a bit to get up, but please don't review with, 'Can't find the full version. Screw you.' It'll be there, sometime.

*****************************************************************
I hear your whispers
Break the Silence, and
it calms me down.
Kisshu's eyes fluttered open. Where was he? He sat up groggily and looked around. Once he did, he realized what had happened. He had fallen asleep in the living room of the spaceship, listening to Pai typing on his computer in the next room. It was happening a lot, lately.
Kisshu stood up and stretched. he was still tired. It seemed like he never got enough sleep lately.
'I'll go check to make sure Pai hasn't fallen asleep at the keyboard,' thought Kisshu. 'He works too hard. It can't be good for him. Not that I don't know what it feels like, but still.'
When he arrived at the doorframe, Kisshu peeked around the edge. Sure enough, the room was empty.
'Pai must be sleeping in his room, then,' thought Kisshu. Good. His comrade was finally getting some rest.
Suddenly, though, something caught his eye. It was a piece of paper by the computer. Kisshu's curiousity got the better of him, and he couldn't help but edge closer. When he was what was on the paper, he felt a twinge of pain form in his chest.
It was a picture of the porpoise mew.
Your taste on my lips;
Your Salty kisses
Gingerly, Kisshu set the paper back down and backed out of the room. A weeks worth of sleepless nights seemed to catch up with him the minute he backed out the door. He sank to the floor, too exhausted to move another step.
'I can't help but remember... I don't know when. I don't know why. But when Ichigo left, I honestly thought I couldn't continue to live. I was heartsick. But then... Love saved me. No. HE saved me. I remember the long hours I spent, just watching him work. I remember how he would try to get me to eat, saying I needed to have something in my stomach. I remember when he told me I should forget her. I remember. I remember everything. Every lingering glance of concern. The sounds of his fingers as they pressed the keys of the computer. The long hours I spent, just watching him. All that time I spent near him. Slowly, I began to heal. I didn't even know it until one day, I realized with a start that my appetite had returned. After that, it became my habit to watch him. When I can't sleep, I go and check on him. I just need to know that he won't leave. I know I would die if he did.'
They say I'm seeking up the danger;
That one day you won't let me go
"Kisshu?" Someone called from above the green-haired alien. Kisshu immediately opened his eyes. Pai was standing above him, looking puzzled.
"Yea?" said Kisshu, stretching out again.
"Why are you sleeping in the hallway?" asked Pai.
"I'm not," said Kisshu. "I was just headed to my room, and I got really tired, so I sat down." A lie, yes, but less painful than the truth.
Pai just sighed. "You need to sleep more," he said.
Kisshu just shrugged and stood up, heading for the kitchen. He needed something to eat. Suddenly, though, he heard Pai speak up.
"Kisshu," he said. "I'm going to earth again. I want to study the DNA of an endangered species. Can I trust you not to crash the ship, or get us stuck in a gravitational warp like last time?"
Kisshu felt his heart fall to the soles of his feel. "Of course," he said, trying for nonchalance. After all, what did he care?
I'll drown,
You'll take me down
Pai nodded, and turned away from Kisshu. The minute he was gone, Kisshu sank back to the floor. He knew what was going on. He wasn't as stupid as everyone thought. Pai was going to watch the earth girl, Lettuce.
'Damn it,' Kisshu thought. 'Why can't I just DO something?! I always say the wrong thing."
He allowed himself a small sigh, before standing up and heading back towards the kitchen. Upon entering the room, he was greeted with a smell that reminded him of... Ichigo!?! Immediately he stood stock still. It couldn't be, could it? No! Kisshu couldn't bear to see her!
"Look what the cat drug in," said Tart condescendingly. Kisshu surveyed the kitchen, ignoring his young companion. He didn't see Ichigo anywhere. Good.
"I bet you want one of these," said Tart, shoving a bag in Kisshu's face. The older teen leaned backwards to avoid being hit in the nose. "Too bad. Pudding cooked them for me, not you."
Kissgu allowed himself to relax. It was just a bag of strawberry tarts. "Whatever," he said. Grabbing a slice of bread, he shoved it into his mouth and floated back out. He wasn't very hungry, after all.
I need you Aquarius.
Enchanted I will have to stay.
Settling himself down in a quiet corner, Kisshu's mind began to work overdrive.
'I wonder what he's doing right now. Is he with her? Is he watching her? Are they talking, or telling jokes?' he wondered idly.
Suddenly, a scowl broke out on his face. He slammed his fist into the ground once,
"I can't live like this!" Kisshu snapped at nothing. He clenched his fist, feeling his nails dig into his palm. The pain calmed him down for a second. With a sigh, he let his hand fall limply to the ground.
"No use crying over what wasn't mine to begin with," he muttered to himself, leaning into the wall. He allowed his eyelids to flutter closed for a second. He could almost pretend that Pai hadn't left like this. Almost. But not quite.
'I wish he didn't have feelings for her,' Kisshu couldn't help but think.
I feel you Aquarius
'Cause you don't see,
Set me free.
"Why did I have to fall in love with him? Why?" he asked.
You call to me,
You set me free.
Pulling his knees to his chest, Kisshu allowed to bread to fall, forgotten, from his hands. What if this whole thing was going to be a repeat of his love of Ichigo?
'Then I'll die,' Kisshu thought. He remembered when his companion first became his saviour. The second day after Ichigo left, and Kisshu was so upset he couldn't eat.
FLASHBACK
Pai walked in, carrying a tray of food. Setting it down at the foot of Kisshu's bed, he also sat down.
"Kisshu," he spoke. His companion didn't move. "You need to eat something." It was a statement, not a question or a request.
"I'm not hungry," muttered Kisshu. Just the smell of the food was making him nauseous.
"You can't just waste away in here!" said Pai, starting to lose his cool for the first time.
"Why not?" asked Kisshu. "It sounds like a good plan to me."
Pai reached out and grabbed Kisshu's arm, digging his fingers into the soft flesh. Kisshu's mouth opened in surprise.
"I'm not going to let you die in here," said Pai angrily, eyes flashing. "Now eat."
End Flashback
That was the first time Kisshu realized it. Someone would care if he died. Someone would cry at his funeral.
I relinquish
to your powers
"I better be strong," said Kisshu under his breath. "For Pai's sake. Otherwise... Otherwise, who would worry about what would happen to him if that green girl broke his heart? And who'll check to make sure he doesn't fall asleep with the keyboard as his pillow again? And who'll tell him to eat when he works straight through lunch?"
From your grasp,
I just can't hide.
With that, Kisshu plucked the piece of bread back up. It was stale and unappetizing, but Kisshu ate it anyways.
'Serves me right for letting it get cold,' he thought. With that, he shoved the last bite in his mouth and swallowed it half-chewed. The taste wasn't that great, and the texture reminded Kisshu of cardboard, but if Pai were here, he would be nagging Kisshu to eat. And he had. All by himself.
Kisshu let out a snort. "What a lonely accomplishment," he said. It really was lonely.
I miss the Danger,
I had to conquer.
You make me feel alive.
'I might as well wait for him to get back...,' thought Kisshu. With that, his weary eyes closed.
They say I have to be aware,
That one day you won't let me go.
Take me down.
I need you, Aquarius.
Enchanted I will have
to stay.
I feel you, Aquarius.
Cause you don't see.
Set me free.
I long for you, Aquarius.
I need to be with you again.
I fear you, Aquarius.
My destiny till the end.
I need you Aquarius.
Enchanted I will
have to stay.
I feel you, Aquarius.
Cause you don't see,
set me free.
I need you, Aquarius.
Enchanted I will have
to stay.
I feel you, Aquarius.
Cause you don't see,
Set me free.
(I'll drown;
Take me down.)

Well, I guess it could have been worse, right? Ah, probably not. Whatever. Review please. Seriously. If I get no reviews, I will be so unhappy.
