-I don't own Gravitation. I just write fanfics. Here's another one about Fujisaki Suguru. But I'm afraid this is going to be too close to "The World Seen from Fujisaki-san". If you liked that one, I hope you like this one. -

Too Busy for Love

Chapter 1

My schedule: School, work, homework, practice, bath, bed. Lately my work has taken over my life. Being the keyboardist for Bad Luck is really hard work, especially since the lead singer is a stubborn idiot.

I see Nakano-san isn't here today. I look around, sitting at the conference table. It's odd for him to skip. I wonder if he and Shindo-san got into a fight again.

Shindo-san is here. A fight didn't happen. I look at him. Shindo-san looks a little upset. He didn't have a fight with Eiri-san, because he's not crying like a moron. I wonder what's going on.

K-san asks Shindo-san, "Where's Hiro? He's never absent. Did he quit, again?"

One thing I hate about this band, if someone doesn't like something they threaten to quit. Let's see, in my metal tally, Shindo-san quit 17 times, this is only Nakano-san's second, I'm yet to quit once.

Shindo-san replies, "No, he's sick." I could tell by the look on his face Nakano-san isn't sick. But what is going on?

I'm not at all close to my band mates; they knew each other since middle school. Nakano-san and Shindo-san have been best friends for at least 5 years now. I just meet them earlier this year.

K-san lets us go early because we can't do any work today without Nakano-san. I'm gladbecause I could get an early start on homework. Shindo-san walks up to me and smiles. What is he going to do?

"Hey." He says to me.

"Hello." I say back.

"I don't think we're going to do work for a few days." He tells me.

"What does he have?" I ask to see what lie Shindo-san answers back with.

Shindo-san's face is blank, he can't think of anything to say. He finally says with a frown, "I don't think I'm supposed to tell you but… he just broke up with Ayaka-chan. And he's really upset about it. But when he comes back don't tell him I told you."

I smile and say back, "Don't worry I won't." I'm surprised that Shindo-san was truthful to me for a change. I guess he's starting to think me as a friend.

"Tell him I hope he gets better from his 'cold.'" I tell Shindo-san.

Shindo-san smiles and tells me that he will. Then he leaves.

I pick up my bag and go out the door. I start to walk home. It's a nice day today.

I get home and start my homework. I have an essay on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. It's about love.

I don't understand love that much. I'm too busy for love. I have too many things to think about, to think of love.

I had a girlfriend once. That was in seventh grade, in the whole "I like you, you like me, so we're dating" thing. Her friends came up to me and said that she thought I was cute. I said I was flattered and they took that as in I liked her. So I had a girlfriend and didn't know it for a couple days.

The whole thing lasted a week. We didn't even kiss or anything. I walked her home once, that was the most we did. I didn't even like the girl. So a week after she said she liked me she got sick of me and we broke up. She's still going out with the next guy she picked.

I never really fell in love with anyone. I was always thinking of my school work and my piano. My piano is my one and only love.

I stare at the blank computer screen in front of me. Luckily I have a week to do this. Also, this is my only homework.

So instead of starting the essay, like I should, I start to play my RPG.

In the game, I just got married and I'm on a quest to save my new wife.

When I'm playing I think of my essay. What is love? Is love saving the one you care about from the evil dragon? The thought of love messes me up so much, that I lost the fight. I'm going to try again another day. Now I have to practice my piano.

After I play my piano for an hour and take my bath, I go to bed. I can't sleep. I can never sleep. I've gotten stress induced insomnia. My doctor said that I should take it slow and relax. I usually follow doctor's orders, but I have no time to relax or take it slow.

So I'm lying in bed. Thinking of all the things I have to do tomorrow, all the things that happened today, and of other random things. My mind all of a sudden goes to love. Then I think of Nakano-san and his breakup.

I turn on my light. I pick up a piece of paper and write, "Love leads to heartbreak." Then I put the paper on my desk and go back to bed.

-There's the first chapter. It's a little slow. But I promise it will get better! If you like it, hate it, please review. And please don't just write a review calling me and my readers bad names. It happened to me before to another story. So I hope you enjoyed!-
