~Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me~
~And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free~

Two strong hands gripped the manga gently as the Japanese man holding it read on. He smiled as he turned the page and glanced up at the clock. His face fell a bit as he read the time. He bit his lip and went back to the manga as the front door clicked and swung open. A smile overtook the young man's face as he saw who entered.

"You're late."

"As usual," the newcomer closed the door. "Reading your manga as usual, You." He grinned.

You laughed. "Of course, Gaku-chan." He used his pet name for the man as he set the book on the coffee table and rose to meet the singer.

Gackt smiled as his roommate strolled closer. "You're going to start seeing the world in pictures."

"I don't mind." The guitarist laid a hand on Gackt's shoulder. "Then I could savor certain images of you for a time." His hand moved to the singer's neck, stroking the skin gently.

~I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you~

Gackt's arms found their way around You's waist as the taller man guided the singer's lips to his own, his other arm wrapping around the shorter man's shoulders to hold him close.

"You look tired..." You touched Gackt's cheek before the singer buried his face in You's chest.

"I am," he replied muffled.

"Let's go somewhere."

Gackt looked up at the guitarist and shook his head. "I'm too tired, though I hate to admit it."

"I don't mean in town. Just away from here, away from everything." You grinned. "Go get changed. I know the perfect place."

"Are you sure you know? You're quite forgetful," the singer teased.

"Get on with you!" The guitarist grinned and pushed Gackt toward the bedroom. "And take off your makeup and those fancy contacts!"

"You're always caked in makeup and wear contacts too!" Gackt stuck his tongue out at the laughing man.

~And at sweet night you are my own~
~Take my hand~

When Gackt returned, he looked much less tired, and comfortable. He wore a pair of baggy jeans and a beeter as he pulled a sweatshirt on. His brown hair was messy and damp, hanging over his now makeup free eyes. They were a deep, puppy dog brown and lit up as he smiled at the guitarist.

"Better?" He asked quietly.

"Much," You replied, his casual attire similar to Gackt's clothing. "Are you still feeling sick?"

Gackt shrugged. "A little."

"Then we wont go far." You smiled and grabbed his two motorcycle helmets from the table near the door and stepped into his shoes, Gackt doing the same. "It'll be just us."

"Good," the singer murmured as he took the helmet, leaning up to place a simple kiss on the violinist's lips. "I'm sure it will do me a little good to get out without anyone else around, except you." He smiled softly as You shooed him out the door and locked it.

~We're leaving here tonight~
~There's no need to tell anyone~
~They'd only hold us down~
~So by the morning's light~
~We'll be halfway to anywhere~
~Where love is more than just your name~

"Gaku-chan," the guitarist murmured as they walked out to his motorcycle.

"Yeah?" The singer turned as You walked up to him, touching the small of his back affectionately.

"Make sure you have fun?" You grinned, a mischievous shiver running down his spine.

Gackt laughed as the guitarist climbed onto his bike. "With you, its impossible not to."

A smile took over You's face, though hidden by the helmet, surely Gackt could see the mirth in his eyes. He felt the bike move under Gackt's weight and the singer's arms wrap around his waist as he started the bike. He sped off down the block, to the place he had told Gackt of.

~I have dreamt of a place for you and I~
~No one knows who we are there~

You swung his leg over the bike as he got off, pulling his helmet off and shaking his head back and forth as he enjoyed the air flowing over it again. He glanced over to see Gackt already kicking his shoes off and trotting down the beach toward the water. You smiled and set his helmet next to Gackt's on the seat and jogged after the other man.

~All I want is to give my life only to you~
~I've dreamt so long, I cannot dream anymore~
~Lets run away, I'll take you there~

The guitarist came up behind the singer and wrapped his arms around Gackt's waist. "Trying to escape?"

"I wouldn't dream of it!" Gackt turned around in You's arms and captured his lips effortlessly. You held fast to the singer around the waist as he felt the man melting in his arms, the kiss growing deeper by the second.

When they broke for air, Gackt stole another small kiss and looked back at the ocean, resting his cheek against You's chest.

"The sky is so dark," he murmured. "The water too."

"There's the moon." You pointed over Gackt's shoulder at the bare sliver that hung in the sky, reflecting silver ripples on the water. The singer turned around in You's hold and the guitarist rested his chin on the shorter's shoulder as they gazed at the quiet scene together.

~We're leaving here tonight~
~There's no need to tell anyone~
~They'd only hold us down~
~So by the morning's light~
~We'll be halfway to anywhere~
~Where no one needs a reason~

"Sometimes I wish that we could just stay like this. Forever," Gackt told his lover.

You closed his eyes and nuzzled his cheek against Gackt's, agreeing wholeheartedly. "Your dears would be quite disappointed."

Gackt chuckled. "I have the right to be greedy sometimes, but I wont forget my responsibility to them."

"I never thought you would." You grinned.

"But you wish." Gackt turned to him, wrapping his arms around You's shoulders.

"So do you."

~Forget this life, come with me~
~Don't look back you're safe now~

"That doesn't mean I really would..." Gackt trailed off uneasily.

You smiled and touched his cheek. "I would never make you choose."

~Unlock your heart, drop your guard~
~No one's left to stop you~

You ran his hand through Gackt's hair, smiling as the singer bit his lip in contemplation. It amused him how cute the singer looked when he did that, especially when he didn't have his contacts in.

~Forget this life, come with me~
~Don't look back you're safe now~

"Gaku-chan..." the guitarist touched his forehead to Gackt's and smiled as he looked into the singer's dark eyes.

"Nnh?" Gackt glanced up at him curiously.

~Unlock your heart, drop your guard~
~No one's left to stop you~

"I told you that I would never leave you," You recalled as he lost himself in the eyes' deep depths. "Even if our world falls to ruin."

The singer smiled and pulled You closer in a loving hug. "Thank you," he whispered into the guitarist's ear before something else, which made You smile.

He pulled back and gazed into Gackt's deep eyes again, their darkness pulling him down again as their lips met. You savored the warmth of Gackt's lips against his own as his eyes slid shut.

~We're leaving here tonight~
~There's no need to tell anyone~
~They'd only hold us down~

You pulled his sweatshirt off and laid it on the sand before he and the singer sat on it carefully.

"Do you have to work tomorrow?" He asked, as he wrapped his arms around Gackt's torso from behind once again.

The singer shook his head as he stared out at the ocean. "The day will be ours."

"Then lets not waste one moment," You murmured as he checked his watch, the hour hitting midnight as the two settled to watch the horizon.

~So by the morning's light~
~We'll be halfway to anywhere~
~Where love is more than just your name~

"Gaku-chan," You whispered as he kissed the dozing man's cheek. "The sun is rising."

Gackt raised his arms above his head as he stretched lazily. "Beautiful," he replied as his eyes focused on the bright clouds in the distance. He interlocked his fingers with You's around his waist, bringing one hand up to kiss as he squeezed it.

"Shall we go?" the guitarist asked quietly, looking around, seeing no one at all.

Gackt nodded. "We have the whole day ahead of us yes?" He stood and held a hand out to You, helping him up. He stole a kiss from the taller man before plodding back to his shoes and the motorcycle.

You followed closely behind, smiling happily at the feeling that rose in his chest. To him, it didn't matter where they were, as long as they were together. As Gackt stopped at the motorcycle and turned to him, he recognized the same understanding in the singer's eyes.

"Where do you want to go?" You asked as he pulled on his helmet and climbed on the bike. Gackt slid on behind the guitarist, his arms sliding around You's waist securely.

"Anywhere."

You chuckled quietly and started the bike. "Anywhere it is," he said as they sped off into the distance.
