The sun was just about to set as Rai sat in the city park watching it disappear through the tall trees. He often came here to clear his mind and think when his overwhelming loneliness struck him. Today he'd been here all day, watching people go along there way with the people they cared about. He couldn't seem to escape today like he had all the other days. A constant sinking feeling seemed to plague him, and he felt sick. Rai repositioned himself, he was now bent over with his face in his hands, he didn't care to see the lovers around him any more.
Rai felt that he needed to get up and leave, but sat there still feeling unable to move, weighed down in a way. His stomach was yelling at him to get food, and his body begged him to move from his seated position. Ignoring the urge to get up and get something to eat he did however lift his head and peered through his parted fingers. The sun was half gone, and even against his better judgement he was prepared to sit here all night. He had no inclination to go back to his empty apartment to sleep on an empty king bed. A heavy sigh escaped his lips, at this point he didn't know how much more he could take.

Konoe felt a bit woozy today, so he decided to come to the park. This place always made him feel better. It made him feel happy and at ease. He had come here many times with his parents, and they had taught him so many things here. The sakura trees weren't in bloom, which made him a bit sad. But when spring came around they would flourish and come to life. As Konoe walked through the park on the path, he spotted a figure on a bench up ahead.
It seemed whomever it was was upset. Naturally willing to help others, Konoe walked up to the figure, being careful to make sure it wasn't one of those seedy types. He knew how to take care of himself, but he hated being taken advantage of. He bent at his waist, tilting his head down so it was level with the man's. "Um...excuse me...White-san? Are you alright?" He naturally gave the man the name that was the color of his hair, which was an enchanting white.

Rai had been lost in thought before another face blurred into his line of view. Blinking he sat upright again, trying to process if he knew this younger man. He had never seen this face before, he felt like he would have remembered such a face immediately. Oddly he felt a strong draw to the stranger already. Whether it was his depression or something else he didn't know, but he had a strong urge to embrace the man before him. Rai's dry mouth forced down a swallow before attempting to speak. "Y-yeah I'm fine." he said his voice cracking from not being used.
He had felt like his whole world had gone to hell just a moment ago, but now he felt okay. At ease. Rai straightened himself out a bit more, running a hand through his white mane trying to fix himself. "Thanks for asking though." he smiled "I'm Rai by the way, nice to meet you..." he stretched out his hand for the other to grasp it in a handshake. A surge went through him, he realized how desperately he wanted to touch this man and a pale shade of pink graced his face. He might be losing his mind after all.

When his eyes met those of the man before him, he felt strange. It was like a missing peice of his life had found it's way to where it belonged. He felt like kissing this handsome man before him, and turned beet red, standing up at full height. "Um...well...that's good I suppose." He muttered as he studied the white-haired man, noticing he still had his ears.
"I'm Konoe. It's nice to meet you Rai...-san." It felt strange using an honorific with this man's name. "You can just call me Konoe. Have I...met you before?" He asked curiously. He took the man's hand and immediately a resonance went through him. This man before him was amazing. Just by touching him he felt this wonderful feeling. His face turned a bold red. He felt the urge to just sit with this man, to be close to him.

Reluctantly Rai slowly let go of Konoe's hand, although he wanted to pull him closer. Seeing how red Konoe got his own face flushed Crimson. "I'm positive we haven't met before... I feel like I wouldn't have forgotten if we had.." the last part came out quietly. "There's no need to put 'san' at the end of my name either, Rai is fine." The sun had disappeared behind the trees completely, leaving the two in the midst of twilight. A long pause had gone between them but to Rai it didn't feel like an awkward silence, but instead he enjoyed Konoe's presence.
"...Would you want to come back to my apartment with me...?" Rai's ears twitched back, he felt a twinge of embarrassment at asking a perfect stranger that, he felt his cheeks burn. He added more in an attempt to make it sound better. "It's getting late, and I haven't eaten all day... it's okay if you don't want to I'd understand." He was sounding more like a creeper by the minute and it was upsetting him, he didn't want to end this meeting but had a feeling the boy wouldn't want to sit here all night with him.

Konoe smiled, he simply beamed brightly. "Rai." Saying that name made his heart soar. What was this feeling he had building inside him? It was like he had fallen in love at first sight. Rai was extremely attractive, with his pure white hair, and the way his ears seemed to glow whenever he spoke. Konoe's tail twitched happily.
"B-Back to your place?" He blushed, but looked up with a smile. "I'd love to." He felt like he was floating on air, just being around this person made him feel complete and whole. Were they...soul mates? He flushed once more at the idea of such a fanciful concept. He and Rai, a man who he had just met and knew little about, being soul mates?
"I-I go to college. I'm a performing arts major." He offered, trying to get to know him better.

Rai beamed, his smile wide on his face, he couldn't believe Konoe had accepted his offer. "O-Okay then." he said still smiling. He stood slowly, he was feeling slightly light headed and feared if he stood to fast he would fall. "Performing arts huh? I was never very artistic myself. I own, and am CEO of, a pharmaceutical company." he said finally fully looking over Konoe. Rai tried to search for a word to describe the sandy blond... perfect kept coming to mind. A light blush crossed his cheeks again, he felt like a kid again with a bad crush.
"It's not to far from here, just a block or so." Rai pointed off into the dark locating his apartment of in some nearby skyscraper. "I hope you don't mind walking Konoe..." he had to suppress his want to take Konoe gently by the hand to lead him down the street. Deciding to take a small lead to get them going Rai took a few steps forward, careful to wait for Konoe. "So what brought you here at such an hour anyway Konoe?" he asked placing his hands in his pockets, so they wouldn't wander any where they weren't supposed to go.
