Fools Like Us *+A BoyxBoy Romantic Drama+*

*+Chapter 1+*

Cookie: Welcome! This is a new boyxboy by moi! So please welcome Kai and Cedric into the fold :D

Got this story idea while writing HSS and listening to Adele's song "Someone Like You". If you're familiar with High School Scandal then you'd know what Evan's always been worried that Derek would leave him for another woman so I thought...DING! Why not write a boyxboy relating that...and add a brother to spice things up a bit. LOL so thus "Fools Like Us" was born! :D

I wanted to try something different ^_^

Cedric will be played by Sam Way! Pic on the right----->

 "Never mind I will find someone like you, I wish nothing but the best for you too, don't forget me, I beg! I remember you said, 'sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead'..." -Adele

*+Kai's POV+*

The Winter Wonderland before me strongly resembled the cold desert in my heart...or maybe I'm just being too fanciful. My heart couldn't possibly be as beautiful and pure like the snow fall...no, inside my heart is cold, ugly...and alone.

      I stared out at the soft blanket of snow, not truly quite seeing it. Instead with each snow flake what I saw were memories from the past...memories that were bitter sweet. Memories I once cherished, memories that I now wish didn't exist.

      Because I wouldn't be hurting like this if they didn't exist.

      I leaned my shoulder against the pillar and absently raised the champagne glass to my lips only to lower it again. This was my fourth glass. I couldn't afford to get into the habit of drinking my sorrows away. Besides, it wouldn't do any good anyway. No matter how many times I could drink myself to oblivion tonight, my troubles would still greet me in the morning.

      There's no escape for me.

      "I'm getting married," my lover had told me one unfortunate day. Unfortunate for me that is...

      "Married?" I stared confusedly at him. "Wha...? But I thought..."

      "We both knew that this relationship wouldn't last," my lover had said and curse him for sounding pained! ""Kaito, we wouldn't have been able to last. You know that don't you?"

      Curse me for loving him....he hadn't even given us much of a chance.

      "I'm a fool aren't I?" I said aloud to the snow falling from the dark starless sky. "I'm a fool...and that's why I'm even at his wedding." And the fool that I am, I even agreed to be his best man...as if I'd only been his best friend and not his lover since high school.

      The merry laughter from within the grande house behind me deepened my depression to the point that I just swallowed the remains of my champagne without second thought. I couldn't even enjoy the taste of it. Ever since John told me he was getting married, nothing tasted right. Nothing.

      "You should be inside," a voice said from behind me, "you'll freeze out here."

      I glanced back and found twin pools of ice blue eyes focused on me. Those eyes unnerved me but I didn't comment on it. Instead I smiled wanly at my intruder. "Hello, Cedric."

      Cedric, John's younger brother. He looks good in a suit, I thought with half amusement, half bitterness because Cedric looked so much like John when he was that age. Sweet Seventeen. But there was nothing really sweet about Cedric. He acted much older for his age. He was too mature even as a small child. John and I often called him "Pappy" to tease him.
