[Little]

Nipo laid back down at looked at her. "Tahno?"

****

Yume frowned. "Then don't be an a**hole."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri frowned a little, "He's in the other room."

---

Tahno growled, "Tell your girlfriend not to be a b*tch then."

[Little]

Yume snorted. "She awas a b*tch to me too, you think she'll listen?" He snapped.

****

Nipo looked at her. "I'm sorry."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Tahno snorted, "Control your girlfriend Yume. What kind of man can't control his girlfriend?"

---

Eri shook her head, "What for?"

[Little]

Yume narrowed his eyes. "What kind of man goes and gets laid while his boyfriend is being used as a toy?" He snorted. "Oh that's right, that's all he is to you anyway."

****

Nipo aclosed his yes and tried to brush her hands off, taking her fingers gently. He looked at her. "I should....have told you..... I liked..him... I'm sorry."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Tahno growled, "He is not. You couldn't possible understand."

---

Eri shook her head, "It's nothing now... It doesn't matter. To be honest I'm glad you didn't, Tahno might not detest me now if you did. To be honest, all he'd have to do was ask and I'd go back to whatever it was I thought we had before." She glanced over him again, looking for more cuts and bruises. "I'm sorry... you don't need to know that. You just need to recover."

[Little]

Yume shook his head. "All about keeping up appearances then?"

***

Nipo shook his head closing his eyes. He tightened his grip on his hand. "I'm sorry. I should have...."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Tahno nodded, "Yes."

---

Eri sighed, "Are you hungry? When did you last eat?"

[Little]

Nipo shook his head. "I don't ...know."

***

Yume nodded. "Right." He said in disgust. "That's what's important right?"

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri nodded, "Does anything sound good? I'll get you something."

---

Tahno grit his teeth, "Nipo is important, but it's not good for either of us if I suddenly stop screwing around because I have someone."

[Little]

Yume shook his head. "And what good are you to him iif he isn't worth more to you than your reputation? How long until you lose interest?" He asked in all sincerity, the attitude gone. "How long until you move onto the next challenge and my brother is left wondering why the hell he isn't good enough for someone?"

***

Nipo looked at her. He blinked. "I... want to see Ilia. Will... you call him?" He asked not letting go of her hand. "and...maybe some sticky rice?"

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Tahno frowned, "He isn't more important than my reputation. This is for him too. Last thing he needs is getting caught in a gay scandal. And forgive for not thinking about breaking up with him when we're just starting."

---

Eri nodded, "Yes. I will call him, I'll ask him to come." She smiled softly, "Just rice?"

[Little]

Yume shook his head. "Whatever. "

******

Nipo nodded. "Yeah.. jUst rice." He moved to sit up.

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Tahno nodded.

---

Eri nodded, letting him this time, "Rest as much as you can alright. You need it." She smiled at him comfortingly and stood up, backing toward the door.

[Little]

Nipo nodded and pushed himself up. He moved and looked around standing up stiffly he walked over and pulled out a pair of boxers to put on. He was tired of being naked.

****

Yume looked at him. "The powder didn't work. You should get a scarf."
