Gender Confusion
People often wonder what it is like to be with superstar novelist Eiri Yuki.
They think, wouldn't it be nice to be in that singer Shuichi Shindou's shoes?
Wouldn't it be nice to be loved by someone so sexy, kind, and rich?
But they don't know Yuki. He isn't kind at all!
"Yuki.. where are you going? Come on Yuki, tell meeeee!" A rather flamboyant Shuichi entered the scene, arms spread out to exaggerate some point only he needed to exaggerate. "Shouldn't I know? I'm your lover right? It isn't fair that I don't get to know!"
A dark glare was sent in the direction of the young singer from a mister Eiri Yuki, who like always, was pretty annoyed with Shindou's actions. What a bothersome eyesore Shuichi could make himself when all he wanted was some peace and quiet. "Being your lover has nothing to do with you needing to know where I'm going twenty-four seven. Besides, maybe with me going means you get a gift." The man joked cruelly, knowing full and well that the boy would jump all over it.
Shuichi practically beamed at his love's words. Gift? When had he last received a gift from Eiri?! Was it quite possible that he had broken through yet another layer of onion the man had wrapped himself all up in?! Could it finally be true that Yuki thought him worthy of gift-giving?! He smiled ecstatically for the other, arms held out to give a stranglehold hug only to common of the boy.
"Yuki! I'm so happy! Is it tru-" The over hyperactive singer took a quick glance around the room for his partner. "Yuki..?"
Of course. Of course he'd just leave.
I mean, I should have expected that.
But, here I keep thinking that he'll treat me just a little better.
Is that so hard to ask?
There was no point in getting down on this latest development, but he couldn't help it. "The fourth time..!" Shindou whined, frustration overtaking his pretty facial features. "The fourth time this week and it is only Tuesday!" The boy sniffled, turning away from the spot his lover had just been standing. Sometimes he wished he was strong enough to drop Yuki and just give up on the cold novelist, but he knew it was impossible. For all the pain the twenty-something year old man gave him- when they made love.. "Ugh! I HATE YOU YUKI!"
This time a rough sigh escaped his peachy lips as Shuichi began his crawl towards the restroom for a little freshen up.

"We're going to see Shuichi today, Kumagoro! Doesn't that just make you happy? It makes me happy!" A delighted Ryuichi Sakuma gave a loud smile to the pink stuffed bunny, his arms extending the toy above its owner's face. "Don't you think he will be happy to see us too?" He smiled again at the creature before placing it on top of his head for safekeeping. No amount of running or jumping could remove the plush once it had settled there. "I hope he likes these cool tickets I got from K.." As if summoning the two tickets out of thin air- the man's sapphire eyes gave them a once over in examination.

Apparently, it was some new popular karaoke joint in Japan. Real nice, fancy, expensive, and you had to buy tickets months in advance. Honestly, he didn't know what all the rage was about, but the last part had him hooked. Sing with your loved ones. Now that was something to rage about.
Ryuichi grinned in silent joke to himself as he approached the building Eiri Yuki and Shuichi Shindo lived in together. Ever carefully, the idol reached into pocket of his black leather jeans, pulling out the tiny metal key he had bribed Tohma into handing over. It was so worth putting in a couple extra working hours writing another few songs for his former keyboardist to market off to Japan if he got to see Shindou for the entire day. The entire day! Just thinking about it brought the life back into him.
Without further ado, the thirty-two year old man twisted the key into the lock and let loose with a wild scream as the door flew open. "SHUICHI! RYUICHI IS HERE TO SEE YOU!" And- and..
No reply.

"…Umarekawari no anata yo hitori hohoemanaide hitomi o irodoru
Nozonda sekai ga totsuzen hai ni natte mo kiseki wa mada megurikuru
Todokanu hikari no yukue azayaka ni mau omoi o egakou
Michibiku kotoba ga koborete shimawanu you ni utsuru toki o osorenaide…"
Shrouded halfway in steam, the figure of Shuichi Shindou sang the words to Ryuichi Sakuma's immensely popular song Sleeping Beauty as the young idol showered. It brought back good memories of the first time Shindou saw the group Nittle Grasper play after their three-year break. Not even the span of time could stop them from rocking out! In a way it made the youth jealous, but to see the god Ryu play live and in person.. A shiver of delight ran up Shu's spine at the thought. Even if Bad Luck and Nittle Grasper were rivals, Ryuichi would never lose his place as the one and only rock god.

"Shuichi?" The singer called, darting in between rooms to find the younger boy. It was no secret to Sakuma that the romance novelist was gone, so he didn't bother not destroying the house while searching for his loving friend. "Shuichi!?" Ryu cried again, checking under the sink for good measure as he explored the kitchen. "Aww, Shuichi, are you playing hide n' go seek? Me and Kuma will find you!"
With an ease that shouldn't belong to a thirty year or so man, each room was thoroughly examined over in a matter of seconds. Although the bathroom from which singing could clearly be made out behind, apparently had been missed. Ryuichi paused his frantic search to scoot closer to the wooden door. "That's my song.." he muttered, placing his ear to the frame. "And that's Shuichi's singing.."
Standing at the doorframe for a few seconds, Sakuma could hear the young boy get ready to switch tunes for another one. With a whopping grin, the elder singer grabbed the handle, throwing the bathroom door asunder. "SHUICHI ARE YOU TAKING A NICE AND RELAXING SHO-" Immediately the man's vocal cords clamped shut as he caught glimpse of his naked friend. It was not like that wasn't to be expected but..!
The door swung back on its hinges, closing the space between the lead singers.
