A/N: Rei deserves love too!

Rei's P.O.V.

"You three were always attached at the hip, now you're just letting those two run off on their own?" A good friend of mine questions. He had strawberry blond hair and beautiful violet eyes. He was a few inches taller than me, which was kinda terrifying. He was 6'5. Jesus Christ.

"Shut up Zero. You asshole." I grumble, downing another shot.

"How about we drink at my place, you don't really handle your liquor well." Zero gave me a worried look and I frowned.

"Fine. Just let me call, no, I'll just bug them. Let's go." I pay for my drink and leave with Zero. Zero was a friend I made during high school. I was close to Hiro then, but that was because we didn't really trust around Izumi. When we got to his place, a plopped down in his couch.

"Whiskey, beer, wine, or vodka?" He questions.

"Give me something strong. I don't care what." I say as I think about anything other than two of my childhood friends being together. I'm happy for them, I'm always happy when it comes to Izumi, but I wanted him for myself. And the guilt I feel in my chest is unbearable. My head spins at the thought and I can't concentrate.

"Here." A can of beer is placed in my hands and I glare at Zero.

"I said something strong." I complain. Zero sits besides me and opens his can, taking a giant gulp.

"I know somethings bugging you, and I would rather not have you vomiting on anything I own. So, depending on how bad this thing you're mulling over is, will determine how strong of alcohol you'll get." He prodded, seeing right through me. I sigh and open the beer, drinking it as quickly as I can to loosen myself up a bit.

"Well, my best friend got the person I loved, my older brother was going to rape Izumi if I hadn't stepped in, and I, being the stupid shit that I am, attacked him myself. I feel like an idiot, and playing it off as if nothing happened is so difficult. I hate seeing them together, but I want them to be happy cause they're my best friends!" I cover my face with my arm and try to calm down from my outburst.

"Rei?" Zero moved my arm down and gave me the most sympathetic look he can muster.

"I apologized and he did forgive me, but even so, I can't help but feel guilty." I didn't even realize I was crying until Zero pulled me to him.

"Hey, it's okay. If he forgives you, then don't feel guilty. And in sure you'll find someone who treats you right." I snuggle slightly into him and breath in deeply, catching a whiff and a damp yet pleasant smell. Like a fresh ocean breeze and an ice cold lemonade.

"You smell nice." I mutter.

"I do?" He questions. I nod and bury my face into his shirt.

"You know, you can be quite adorable." Zero sighs, running a hand through my hair. I wasn't drunk just yet, so I laid my head in his lap and took another sip from my beer. I have a low alcohol tolerance and I knew I was going to be drunk soon. "Your hair is soft too." Zero smiled kindly.

"Hey Zero, do you have anyone you like?" I question. Zero sighs and continues to stroke my hair.

"Yeah. But they're hung up on some guy, so I can't really do anything." Zero admits, taking another sip of his beer.

"That's unfortunate. Is she pretty?" I ask.

"It's a he, actually. And he is very beautiful. If only he would notice. I mean, I've been pinning for him since high school, but he's to ridiculously thick headed to notice." I sit up and turn towards him.

"Really? Do I know him?" I question curiously.

"You really are an idiot." Zero got up and went to get more to drink. I followed him.

"How am I an idiot?" Zero pours himself a shot of vodka and I frown. "Did I upset you?" Maybe I was drunk, I don't really know. Zero took the shot in one go and turned towards me.

"I'm not going to forgive you if you still don't get it after." I raised a brow.

"After what?" My question was answered as Zero grabbed a fistful of my shirt and yanked our lips together. Unlike when I kissed Izumi, a spark shot from my heart to my head and toes. Also to the tips of my fingers. It was an enjoyable feeling, and it had me wanting more. My knees buckled and I gripped onto him for dear life. It was so addicting.

"Do you realize now?" Zero questions softly after stopping the kiss. I was a loss for words.

"Why didn't you say something sooner? Maybe I would've given up on Izumi earlier and those two would've been happy earlier!" I exclaimed.

"I tried telling you, but you kept saying you were straight except for Izumi. You just wouldn't listen." I hugged Zero tightly.

"Im sorry." I really hope I didn't forget everything in the morning. That would be terrible. Zero kissed the top of my head.

"Don't worry. I'm just glad this day came. I'm so happy." He smiled and pressed kisses all over my face.

"I'm happy too." I was sure I was drunk, but I think I sobered up. "I was slightly drunk not to long ago but I'm sober now. If you forget anything you said or did tonight, I'm never going to be able to forgive you." I inform.

"I'm not drunk, and I don't plan to." I just cling to him and we go back to the couch, laying there in content, snuggled together.

"The media definitely won't be happy that all the hottest celebs are taken, and it will be even worse when they find out we're dating guys." I laugh slightly.

"I didn't even properly ask you it yet you know." Zero says with a raised brow.

"Then are you going to ask me?" Zero nodded and I looked up at him.

"Rei, will you be my boyfriend? I promise to treat you as best as I can. I may still be in college, but I'm becoming a writer and a model." I smile and kiss the top of his nose.

"Yes, I'll be your boyfriend." He smiles and grabs the remote to turn on the television. It was in the news channel and something popped up that I wasn't prepared to see. Well, multiple pictures. The first was my two friends at the beach, Izumi was putting sunscreen on Hiro's back, but I guess it looked kinda weird.

The second was of the two arriving at the coffee shop, another picture of them chatting with the Hollywood power couple and Savannah. The next and final one was on Izumi being held to Hiro's chest, an extremely tender moment. I was happy for them, but I knew what this meant.

"Shit. I think I have Savannah's number somewhere, if I call her she should be able to fix this! They just got together, if the media catches wind, everything for them will be ruined!" I exclaimed.

"Calm down." Zero pulled me back to the couch after I bounced up. "Call Izumi and Hiro first to warn them of the situation. They should be the first to know. And then let them take care of it. It is there problem, but if they ask for help, help them." Zero was making a lot of sense.

"Yeah, I suppose that's best." I pull my phone out of my pocket and call Hiro, getting an answer after the third ring.

"Hey Rei, what's up?" Hiro questions. I could hear a kitchen stove in the background. They must be making dinner.

"Someone was following you around today and took pictures. It's all over the news. If you want to clear this up, you should get support from Savannah or something. Clear this up as fast as you can if you want to keep this relationship the way it is now." I inform.

"Noted. One sec." I knew he was telling Izumi, I could hear him go to his own phone soon after. "So, you're not upset about those pictures?"

"Idiot, I said I'm moving on from Izumi, you two be happy. Besides, I got a boyfriend now." I admit with a giant blush. Zero smiled from besides me.

"No kidding? Someone we know?" He asks.

"Yeah. Our high school friend Zero." I admit.

"Oh yeah, I remember he told me he like you. Be good to him. And be careful about where you go. I've got to help Izumi solve this predicament." Hiro hung up and I sighed.

"It's getting a bit late, want to go to sleep?" Zero questions.

"Yeah. Let's hit the hay." Zero smiled and kissed me again.

"I don't think I'll ever be happier than I am now." I blushed.

A/N: short bonus chapter! If you want more Zero x Rei love, let me know! But it will only get extremely smutty from here.

"Idiot."
