Hiyo! This is my first Gravitation fic, so please be kind. ^.^; Ah well. Heck, this is my first yaoi fic too! So.
I was reading in school one of those Current Event magazine thingies, and it was about street children. And then... THE PLOT BUNNY ATTACKED!!! XD
Ahem. So yeah, that's kinda what this is based off of. It'll be AU, and will probably switch different views.
So, let's get started!
Oh yeah. SHONEN-AI SHONEN-AI SHONEN-AI!! Not so much in this chappie, but it WILL later. And if I'm brave it could switch to yaoi. If this offends you, please leave. But then I must ask: What the heck are you doing perusing the Gravitation section?? Boredom, perhaps?...

Shuichi lifted his head from his knees to stare blankly at the opposite wall of the side alley. He like the other street children were waiting for their "leader" to come back.
They were alone. Abandoned, disowned, or orphaned, they never really knew much of a life. They slept on the dusty streets or the safe, hidden side alley ways.
Shuichi had been disowned. His single Mother couldn't care for him anymore. She insisted it was alright, but he left anyways. At ten years old he was wandering the streets, looking for anywhere to stay. Finally he found the other kids, who welcomed him, because he was the second oldest of them all.
He was 19 now. He had become very good at street life, and was one of the sole providers for the small group.
*** Shuichi's POV ***
Ah, Ryuichi-sama is back. It took a little while longer than usual.
Ryuichi-sama is the 'leader' of our gang (if that's what you'd call it), and rightfully so. He's a 31 year old man who's been on the streets for about 15 years. He's got an old enough and clean enough apperance to be confused with another citizen here. He mostly does the stealing and caring for us.
We personally believe he's an angel. Why? Because of the fact he doesen't remember a THING about his childhood. He just knows when he woke up one day, he was far from home. So that plus him always having a cheerful outlook on the world.
Ryuichi was holding a few sacks, but that was about it. We gathered around as he sat down on the dusty ground.
"Good news," he said in perfect english, for he never really was that great at Japanese. " We will be out for selection again."
A few were excited while others weren't. When you were out for selection, they would put all of us before a crowd, who would be able to "adopt" us. This had happened for us once before. At that time, my then best friend Hiro was taken away. For some reason, Ryuichi had pulled me and another kid behind him. He would just glare towards anyone who looked at him. After when I asked him why he did that, he just responed "Not ready." Sometimes he didn't make sence.
The first selection lessened our group, so now there's six plus Ryuichi-sama. Seven. Kinda unlucky ne?
"Demo," Ryuichi stopped us, " this time around we'll be going on a train to the western area. You'll probably have a better chance over there. We leave tomorrow, so gather anything you have."
Everyone nodded. I decided to ask, "What are in the bags?"
He looked down at the two of them, then laughed, " I was able to get some money. I had to sell my blue headband, but I'll live," he explained winking.
We ate what little we could get, and after it got dark we began to snuggle next to Ryuichi, wrapped in one big, dirty blanket.
Suguru curled up next to me. He was my best friend, and was the other teen Ryuichi-sama had hidden at selection. Suguru Fujisaki was smart, proof he had about a two year education, but was also pretty quiet.
All of us exchanged a few whispered words before drifting off into a hopeful sleep.
--- Elsewhere, western area ---
** Eiri's POV **
" Are you going to the 'selection' tomorrow, Eiri-san?"
I looked up from some lyrics I was writing to be greeted by my friend's eversmiling face.
"Nani?" I asked.
Tohma just laughed. "Didn't you hear me Eiri-san? The selection! Ya know, it's what they call it when they gather street kids for people to care for."
I stuck my cigarette into the ashtray. "Really?"
Tohma nodded, then regained his hopeful look. I sighed.
"Fine, I'll go."
Tohma breathed a 'good' before walking off to the door of the office, but stoped in the doorway long enough to tell me, "Your brother's coming too."
I rolled my eyes. "We all know how he 'takes care of children'," I mumbled to myself, but I knew Tohma had allredy left.
Did he expect me to find some kid to take in? As a love interest? He had been hounding me for years, but finally gave up. But he didn't believe my 'boyfriend' now was suitable enough. Well.. he's not my boyfriend... I think....
No. That's not gonna happen. I won't just find some kid who's a little younger than me and fall in love with him or something.
Things just don't work out that way...
--- The next day, western area ---
** Shuichi's POV **
I don't think I want to ride on another train ever again.
For one thing, it was schorching hot. For another, it was crowded. I sat at first with just Suguru, Ryuichi, and another girl named Samantha from America that we knew. But then all four of us were squished together on a bench meant for only two people to make room for three other people across from us.
I finally stepped out of that godawful train into the clean air. We were in another city altogether, and this one had more buildings. We all were hurried into an air conditioned station, then right back out and over to the side. Already was a small crowd of people waiting. And once again I was pulled with Suguru by Ryuichi-sama, only this time we were shoved in front of him while he stood in the back. He muttered something along the lines of "destiny". I still don't understand him.
Some older guy is speaking with the group of people, and some of them are nodding and looking out here. I'm begining to get nervous, so I glance at Suguru. He's staring ahead with a determined look, but you can tell he feels the same way I do by the way he's biting his bottom lip and keeps giving involuntary motions every few seconds.
The adults file through us, and we gradually spread out. I'm pushed away from Suguru a little, but I can still see as a kind looking man comes to him and asks him a few things. My friend's face grows a noticable shade of red, but finally is taken away. We both look back to Ryuichi-sama who simply nods.
A few minutes later a mean-looking man comes to me. Just my luck.
"You look strong enough to do hard labor,"he told me. He obviously traveled here because there was no farm land in this area. He grabbed my arm and said, "Your coming with me boy."
Like before I looked back at Ryuichi-sama, but now his eyes were narrowed and filled with anger, and he looked about ready to kill. So I fought.
I pulled against the other man with all of my strength, which included punching and kicking, and basically making as much noise as possible to get him away from me.
"What are you doing??" he growled, and raised his hand. I continued to struggle, bracing myself for the blow that was to come, but it never did. Instead I just heard a voice.
"I wouldn't do that. I dislike people who abuse children."
** Eiri's POV **
"I wouldn't do that. I dislike people who abuse children," I said calmly as I held the man's wrist. He looked up to say something, but when he saw my glare he stomped away.
The unnaturally pink haired teen stared up at me.
"Hey, how old are you kid?" I asked, but the boy seemed offended.
"I'm not a kid," he grumbled, "I'm nineteen."
Great. I go for the attitudal one. "Would you like to come with me? I work in a recording studio, but when I'm not there I have someone who can look after you." He sounded like he would have a pretty singing voice really.
He looked behind him for some reason, then looked back at me with an adorable grin. "Okay."
"What's your name?"
"Ano, Shuichi."
I held out my hand for the street kid, which he took. "Eiri Uesugi."
I began to lead him back to where Tohma was standing with the cute kid he had got. The younger teen kept shifting or brushing dirt off himself. I really don't blame him; Tohma can do that to you.
When Tohma looked over to us he took one look at Shuichi and gave smile as to say "mission accomplished". He's too arrogant for his own good sometimes.
** Shuichi's POV **
I believe I'm lucky. I've been picked by a guy who is like an angel. Maybe Ryuichi-sama sent him here?
And now we've just stopped by this other blonde-haired guy, who isn't quite as handsome as Eiri-san. And Suguru's with him! We instantly give a friendly hug.
"You know him Shuichi?" Eiri-san asks me. I like his voice, it's very smooth yet powerful.
"Oh, hai, we're good friends." Than a thought struck. If Eiri-san knows the smiley guy ( I bet it hurts if you do that alot), who's taking Suguru, then... "Will we be able to see each other again?"
"Oh yes," the smilely guy says in english, "Eiri-san and I work together in the same building, and we don't live too far away from one another."
Yes, this is great.
"Can we go now?" Eiri-san interrupted impatiently. Smiley shook his head.
"No, Tatsuha-kun hasn't come back yet, I'm supposed to bring him home." The sun was going down and the crowd was diminishing, so it wouldn't be too hard to find him I would think. "Oh, wait, I see him. He's with the older brunette.."
Eh? Brunette? Sure enough, when I followed the others' gazes, they were set on Ryuichi-sama, with a black haired guy around Fujisaki's age hanging onto him. I could read Ryuichi's lips, something like "remove your hands this instant." And the guy, who I'm assuming was Tatsuha, removed his hands from where they had wandered down Ryuichi's backside, just.. lower.
"Tatsuha! Come on!" Eiri-san yelled, but didn't wait for an answer as he started to pull me towards them. When we got there Tatsuha started to cry.
"He won't come with me!" He yelled in a childish way. Eiri-san asked Ryuichi-sama if he thought he was a little too old to be a street kid, but Ryuichi-sama just shrugged.
"Won't you come with us? Onegai??" I pleaded to Ryuichi-sama. But he looked at me sadly.
"I can't. I need to take care of the other children who are left." He stooped down to my level, saying, " I promise we'll meet again. Tell Suguru-chan it'll be okay. Sayonara." He ruffled my hair, then left to board the train again.
I fought the tears that threatened to fall; I didn't want Eiri-san to think of me as a wimp. Then he'd send back.
But isn't that what I wanted now?
Why when everything is going great, things crumble? Just my luck.
--- Few minutes later, Eiri's car ---
** Eiri's POV **
The kid looks pretty depressed. He's trying to smile, but you can tell it's by an effort. I'm guessing the older guy meant alot to him, and his friend too.
And I'm also guessing he's never been in a car before either, or it's been a long time since he was in one. Shuichi said my car was awesome, then preceded to click buttons. The only way to stop him was to allow him to eat my strawberry shortcake. (A/N *shudder* ) Which I was going to eat. And was my last one. I'll have to pick some up afterwards.
I park in front of my apartment, it's not too crowded and not to small. Plus the people are friendly, but maybe TOO friendly. Ah well.
I let Shuichi out and led him up to the second floor, where my room is. I have a roomate, and we both pay some of the rent. Our apartment is pretty spacious, so there should be no problem with Shuichi fitting in.
"Oi, I'm going to the store, anything you like to eat?" I asked Shuichi when we were in front of my door. He looked up at me with those purpleish eyes of his, then looks thoughtful.
"I've tried pocky before, the strawberry kind." He says a little timidly. So we both have a thing for strawberry, eh?
"Okay. I'll be right back, just let yourself in, my friend will be there, just tell him who you are, he'll know what to do." I explained a little quickly. He nodded and I walked away at a quickened pace.
Truth was, I didn't want to leave them two alone together. But he wouldn't go to the store for me, he's so lazy. So if I just tried to hurry, maybe I could delay the chaos.
Maybe.
** Shuichi's POV **
I watched quietly as Eiri-san began to walk away. Once he was out of sight, I knocked softly on the door.
A voice came from the house asking, "Who is it?" It sounded male, and young too.
"Shuichi," I called back. There was shuffling but no answer. "Eiri-san said you'd know what to do..?"
The door opened and a man with orange hair stood before me. (A/n *runs before readers realize who it is*) His eyes were kinda droopy, and his smile was creeping me out.
"Oh. You're from the street gang, right?" he asked as he stood in the doorway. I've thought of that as rude: his action and and his comment.
"I wouldn't call it that," I managed to mumble. I hated being referred to a gang member. It's bad for reputation, you know?
"Whatever." He shook his head. "I'm Yuki. Yuki Kitazawa. Come in," he instructed as he stepped aside. "I'm Eiri's boyfriend."
'That's nice," I thought nonchalantly as I stepped into the apartment. Wait....
B-boyfriend?!?

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Please review. And don't kill me, okay? ^-^u I couldn't help but bring him in here. Also, I've used Ryuichi's mysteriousness (is that a word?) to my ebil advantage. He really doesen't make sence, yaknow?
If you want the pairings, here:
Eiri/Shuichi
Yuki/Eiri
Yuki/??? (muwahaha)
Tohma/Suguru
Tatsuha/Ryuichi (sooner or later)
And probably some K/Sakano.
The first person in each pairing is either the seme and/or the dude hitting on the other dude, if that helps. Take guesses for who '???' is. Once again, don't hurt me.
Thanks, and seeya!
