They both walked out to the car, careful to avoid the still blemished carpet in the entry hall. It was slightly chilly, so Gackt offered to run back into the house to get their coats while Hyde got into the car.

�Here you go,� Gackt said when he returned to the car.

He opened the passenger door and handed Hyde his coat as he sat down and closed the door behind him. He placed his own coat across his lap and rolled down the window. Resting his elbow against the door where the glass disappeared and leaning against his hand, he gazed out the window. As they pulled away from the house, he heard his CD begin to play, but this time he was not surprised. He wondered if his CD was the only CD Hyde had in his car.

He looked over at Hyde and saw that he was contently humming and drumming his fingers on the steering wheel along with the music. When the older man noticed that he was being watched, he looked over at Gackt and smiled. Slightly flustered, Gackt hastily smiled and turned to look back out the window.

They drove around for a little longer than Hyde expected because he wasn�t sure exactly where he had seen the park. They had actually driven near it a few times, but turned before it came into view. When they finally reached the park, and realized that they had almost passed it more than once, they started to laugh. Even though it wasn�t really funny, because Gackt saw that Hyde was amused, he laughed, and when Hyde heard Gackt laughing he laughed even more. It made Gackt happy to see the older man enjoying himself so much, especially when he was so frustrated with him home life.

�Let�s go sit on that bench over there,� Hyde said, regaining his composure, as he pointed toward a bench that was almost completely hidden behind a few large trees.

They both got out of the car, looked at each other, and then sprinted toward the trees. Gackt pulled at Hyde�s coat to slow him down; Hyde had a head start because of the way he parked the car. Hyde grinned wildly and let his jacket slip off his shoulders.

Gacket smiled to himself and admired the older man�s body, encased in clothes from his own closet. The way his muscles tightened and relaxed under the thin cloth was completely mesmerizing; Gackt almost forgot that he was racing Hyde to the bench, and not chasing him down to molest him once the older man was in his grasp.

With the large head start he had, Hyde got to the bench first; he slid down the wood a little before he stopped moving all together and started laughing gleefully while he caught his breath. Gackt was right behind him, sliding onto the bench only seconds later. He leaned into the shorter man and draped his arm around his shoulders, catching his breath and laughing along with Hyde.

Gackt didn�t realize exactly how close he was to Hyde until he relaxed against Gackt�s shoulder. He stiffened up slightly, wondering why Hyde was being so affectionate. He didn�t want to say anything incase he made his feelings known and Hyde didn�t feel the same way, or scare Hyde off if he did have feelings for him.

They sat in silence like this for quite some time, just looking around the park. It was actually fairly private; the park was bigger than they both first thought and because all the trees and bushes concealed it from the street.

�I want to leave my wife.� Hyde said suddenly. He didn't move when he said this, nor did his voice waiver in any way.

Gackt looked at Hyde in complete shock, ��What? Why would you want to do that? You have a kid, and a happy marriage. Where would you go?�

Hyde leaned closer to him as Gackt spoke, as if the vibrations coming from his chest would help him find and answer to the questions.

�I�m not happy. I was, but not any more. When I first met Magumi I had been so impressed and blown away with her character and her spirit, but recently everything that I loved about her doesn't seem to be there anymore. I don't know what happened�it�s almost like she is a different person. After the baby I thought things were going so well, we were both so overjoyed, but it�s almost like she has lost her respect for me and I can�t understand why. I do work, but no more than she does, and even when she isn�t working, the caregiver that she insisted on having looks after the baby, not her. We don't ever have sex anymore; well, to be honest, we hardly had sex in the first place. She always was so unimpressed and didn't seem to care one way or another, and if we did have sex she always seemed so disgusted that we would� that we would give into our basic human desires. It was so ridiculous. Then she would complain that I never paid any attention to her, that I was always working or with the baby, �Why wasn't she important any more?� I just� I�ve had enough Gackt, I�m done. I�ve tried to reach out to her, I tried being there when she needed me, or just standing silently by to give her my support, but it�s not enough, nothing is ever enough. I�m tired of feeling so inadequate, like everything I do is the wrong thing.�

Again they sat in silence. Gackt had no idea how to respond. He was deeply worried about his friend and hated learning that he was so miserable, but he didn't know what to do. He had been married once before, but that fell apart almost before it left the ground, so he wasn't sure what kind of advice he should give. He could feel that Hyde was very tense, almost shaking, so he did all that he could: he pulled Hyde closer to him and further into his embrace. This movement prompted Hyde to speak again.

�I called you yesterday in hopes that you would allow me to recharge, so that I could return home with a new outlook and maybe try and make this work again. When we shot MOONCHID I could never have been happier. Everything was new and exciting and brought you so much joy I couldn't help but feel the same way. These hours I�ve spend with you are just like I remembered. I�ve enjoyed myself more than I have in ages; I�ve been more relaxed here with you than I could be with anyone else. The more time I spend with you the more I realize what it means to be happy, the more I realize how happy I haven�t been, the more I realize that being near you is all that I need. I think I�m falling in love with you, Gackt.� He got up as he spoke the last sentence and walked forward a few feet, the tone in his voice and gaze on the scenery unchanging.

Neither spoke for what seemed like hours. Gackt didn't know how to express himself, how to express that he felt exactly the same way. His mind was racing, -- had Hyde just really confessed; was he dreaming; shouldn't he say something? What should he say? What could he say? This was more than he could have hoped for, but even still, he didn't want to rip apart Hyde�s marriage; the last thing he wanted to do was destroy the life he had built for himself.

While Gackt was trying to figure out what to do, Hyde walked back over to him. He put his hand gently on Gackt�s shoulder, and this suddenly brought him back to reality, causing him to jump with surprise. Hyde took this reaction not of one as surprise, but as one of disgust and immediately pulled his hand away.

�I�m sorry,� Hyde stammered, �I shouldn't have unloaded like that on you, I didn't even consider your feelings. If it really bothers you that much you can just forget I said anything. Its ok, its not a huge deal.� He turned to walk back to the car, �I�ll take you home and then you never have to see me again. I thought that maybe... because of the things you have said about me� But its ok, I�ll be ok� I�ll figure out something.�

Gackt reached out and grabbed Hyde�s arm, maybe a little too tightly.

�Are you blind?� He began, almost whispering, �All the things you said about being with me, and those times being some of your happiest memories, I couldn't have thought of a better way to express myself, �I�ve enjoyed myself more than I have in ages; I�ve been more relaxed here with you than I could be with anyone else. The more time I spend with you the more I realize what it means to be happy, the more I realize how happy I haven�t been, the more I realize that being near you is all that I need.� I�m falling in love with you too, Hyde. Keeping that thought tucked away inside myself was all I could do to keep myself under control.� Gackt was standing now, smiling warmly to a wide-eyed Hyde.

He slid his hand down Hyde�s arm and laced their fingers together, gripping the other man�s hand tightly. Hyde seemed to be in a bit of a daze, not being able to believe what the man before him was saying. Not being one to take advantage of another quite so easily, Gackt gently embraced the shorter man and tilted his head up so they were looking at one another.

�I just want you to be happy, whether its with me or not. Seeing you so miserable used to tear me up inside because I thought I couldn't do anything to help you, but if you want me, I�m here to make you happy.� With that Gackt leaned down slightly and pressed his lips against Hyde�s.

Gackt�s brain was going wild; he couldn�t believe he was actually kissing the man he had lusted after for so long. He pulled the other man against him more to make sure it wasn't a dream and Hyde was really standing in his arms. When he did this Hyde let out a small whimper and at that Gackt panicked. Had he simply squeezed the smaller man too hard, or is this not what Hyde actually wanted? He looked down only to see Hyde�s lust filled eyes. Suddenly he grabbed Gackt�s lapels and pulled him into a much more passionate kiss. After a few moments they broke the kiss, panting and breathless.

�Shall we continue this back at home?� Gackt asked smoothly.

Hyde just smiled in response and took Gackt�s hand as he walked to the car. The ride home was quiet, both were two nervous to speak let alone keep up conversation. Gackt kept his eyes glued out the window, but once in a while he looked over at Hyde, who was intently driving. He couldn�t help but admire how his lips were perfectly pursed and his eyes glowed with intensity.

When they pulled into Gackt�s driveway again they both calmly rushed to the door. Gackt fumbled with the key slightly when he tried to open the door, but as soon as they got inside, almost before the door could close, they began to strip each other of their clothes. Their lips and hips crashed together as they franticly unbuttoned each other�s shirts, eager to touch the flesh hidden beneath. Gackt could feel Hyde�s hardening member straining against his pants where their hips touched. This only made his own cock jump to attention. They slowly made their way to the bedroom, leaving a trail of clothing behind them.

Gackt stumbled slightly as his pants slipped down his legs in front of his bedroom door. They separated for a moment, just so they could sit on the bed with out incident. Gackt looked over at the other man who wasn't quite as undressed as he and began to kiss the flesh between his neck and shoulder.

"Would you suck my dick?" Gackt whispered hesitantly.

"I� I've never done anything like that with a guy before," Hyde confessed blushing deeply and pulled away slightly so he could look at the other man.

�You don't have you if you don't want to�� He stammered, worried that he had scared Hyde away.

�No, its ok. I want to try,� Hyde swallowed nervously, but kneeled between his legs.

Gackt smiled warmly but spread his legs insistently. He leaned back on the bed more, making his chest and pelvis look more prominent.

He gave Gackt the once over and helped him discard the rest of his clothing and began running his hands over Gackt�s newly exposed flesh.

Gackt inhaled sharply, now that he could take the time to really appreciate the other man�s touch he couldn't believe how good it felt; everywhere Hyde touched the flesh began to tingle. When Hyde began to gently kiss the inside of his thighs he couldn't help but let out a low moan. Gackt reached down with one hand and began to run his fingers through Hyde�s hair. The other man looked up and smiled as he timidly moved his hands around Gackt�s cock. He gently squeezed and pulled the flesh between his fingers and watched as the flesh continued to get impossibly hard.

Gackt moved his hand from the other man�s hair to his chin and brought his face closer to Hyde�s and gently pressed their lips together. He didn't want to rush this; he wanted Hyde to thoroughly enjoy himself.

Hyde sped up the movement of his hand as they continued to kiss. Gackt pressed his tongue against the shorter man�s lips and he eagerly parted them for him. As the kiss intensified so did Gackt�s need to watch Hyde suck him off. He ended the kiss as gently as he could and glanced down toward his groin, hopping Hyde would get the message.

Hyde inhaled deeply and nodded slightly as he bent down and coyly licked the tip of the flesh before him. Gackt couldn�t believe that it felt better than he could have ever imagined. He gently placed his hand on the back of Hyde�s head as encouragement as he watched, totally transfixed as Hyde took more of his manhood into his mouth. He moaned loudly and couldn't tear his eyes away from his flesh disappearing then reappearing from between Hyde�s perfect lips.

So wrapped up in the sight and sensation of getting head, he just barely noticed that Hyde was stroking his own cock. When he was able to register what Hyde was doing he gently pulled his cock out of his new lover�s mouth and coaxed him to sit on the bed again. Hyde seemed a little disappointed but complied nonetheless.

Gackt took Hyde�s place on the floor and scooted between his legs. He began just as slowly as Hyde had, first taking the other man�s member between his hands and stroking it gently. The older man was surprised at first but as the moments passed he simply moaned softly and enjoyed the sensation. To surprise Hyde, Gackt suddenly took the length of Hyde�s cock into his mouth and as he pulled back along the shaft he licked the spots that were more sensitive to him, hoping the other man would like it as well. Hyde flopped back onto the bed and arched his back in pleasure, moaning constantly now.

Gackt continued enthusiastically, loving the sounds that emanated from the other man. He moaned and writhed under Gackt's oral onslaught, occasionally bucking his hips to get more of his dick in his lover's mouth. After only a few minutes Hyde�s whole body had a slight tinge of pink and he was panting loudly.

�Oh god� If you keep doing that I won�t last much longer�.� Hyde whimpered, barely able to get the words out.

The only notable response from Gackt was a smile as he focused all his attention on making the other man cum. He reached up Hyde�s body and played his fingers over the flesh he found, taking special interest in his nipples. That was all it took to send Hyde over the edge. Within moments Hyde arched his back and moaned loudly, flooding Gackt�s mouth with his seed. Gackt swallowed, enjoying the salty taste of his lover and then began to craw up onto the bed over the other man, kissing all the flesh he could reach on his way.

�You drive me wild, you know that? Ever since I first met you I couldn't help thinking about you.� Gackt growled as he hovered over the other man, pining him to the bed with his lustful gaze.

He lifted Hyde�s legs and arranged himself so he just brushed against Hyde�s delicate opening. Gackt looked down at the shorter man, wanting to make sure it was really ok. With the permission of a slight nod and the seductive biting of the lip Gackt pushed forward gently but forcefully. The two men moaned and gasped in unison, each loving the sounds and sensations the other provided. With each thrust the moans grew louder and more passionate. Finally after what seemed like hours each man gave the other sweet release.

They curled up next to each other and sat calmly for a while, completely content with each other. Finally Hyde broke the silence.

�I really missed that� well not that exactly, but being able to truly connect with someone who you care about deeply. This was a whole different experience for me, but I think I enjoyed it more than any of the times I had sex with Megumi.�

All Gackt could do was smile in return and pull his new lover closer to him.

�Do you think we can really do this, or, well, I guess the question really is can I really leave my wife for you?� Hyde mused, sitting up slightly.

�Don't think about things like that, at least not now. Who cares about your wife, or what anyone else would say? Just ignore it and stay with me�� Gackt let his voice trail off hoping that every thing could be as simple as he wanted it to be.

�You�re right,� Hyde said with a sigh, �We can deal with it when we have to.�

�That's the spirit! Now come here, I�m all cold now.� Pouting slightly he made a �come hither� motion to Hyde.

Hyde rolled over onto the taller man and hugged him tightly. The two of them eventually dozed off, totally exhausted both mentally and physically from the days activates.

However unbeknownst to either man, in the pocket of Hyde�s pants that had been left in the downstairs hall, Hyde�s cell phone rang over and over and over; the caller ID flashing �Wife�.
