Title: Too Far
Rating: pg-13. The rating may or may not go up.
Warnings: Adult themes, angst. OOCness too.
Pairings: Yuki/Shuichi. A little bit of Hiroshi/Shuichi. Implied Shuichi/OCs.

Summary: Sometimes, you can't have what you want. And it hurts just a bit more than you'd like. Sometimes, you have to follow what you want to get it. And maybe, if you're lucky, confidence and – or intrigue will help you along the way.

Track 1

"Absolutely not. You're not going out there tonight in your condition. You're going to stay right here where you can rest up and that's that," Hiroshi Nakano ordered.

"B-b-but, Hiro… We need the money! Or the deal's off!" Shuichi Shindou, his roommate, weakly protested. "The rent for the studio's due and we barely have half of it!"

"Then I'll get it," the redhead whirled around to reach for his leather jacket, but a stubborn hand stopped him.

"No! I won't have it! We can't risk you getting caught again!" his best friend nearly cried. The young man stood up, trembling body and all.

"It's not all about whether you'll have it or not. I'm sorry. But, I'd much rather get caught than have you raped by some sadistic asshole again! Please Shuichi, for my sake?" he fell to his knees now, begging. Tears threatened to come out of his eyes, as they'd already fallen out of his friend's.

Shuichi shook his head dogmatically. "I won't stay, but I'll meet you half way. The gun's coming with me. My final offer. Take it or leave it." The pink haired teen stood his ground firmly. Hiro knew he had no choice but to agree.

"Just… be careful, okay?" he retrieved his childhood friend's jacket and received a hug before Shuichi headed out the door of their penthouse apartment. "I love you," Nakano whispered softly.

If only he could say that while Shu-chan was still there to hear him. Psh. Like that'd happen. He had a better chance of winning the lottery. Who ever would say that dreaming doesn't hurt must be out of their minds.

To be continued…

A/N: I know the chapter was really really short, but it's the only way I could come up with a decent ending. I promise the chapters will be longer if there are wishes for me to continue this. Reviews do help, if you please. And I'll try to update sooner. Getting hits isn't much encouragement because I don't know what you're thinking of what I wrote. Thank you for reading. And pleaseeeeee do review. Until next time! (if there is one at all…)
