Disclaimer: I don't own Gravitation. A sad fact
'I can't believe it! It's my birthday and I'm all alone. Where is everybody? Yuki has to work until evening, he told me yesterday. But Shuichi told me he would be home at 12.00 p.m. And now it's already 12.30 p.m. and he still hasn't showen up.. Shuichi said he had a surprise for me. I really want to know what it is.' Tatsuha was lying on the couch watching TV. He stopped zapping around when he saw Sakuma-san. 'He is sooo great! He is the best singer in the world. And he's so sweet. What would I give to meet him once? But that's only a dream. Damn, he is so handsome.'
Tatsuha was interrupted in his thoughts when the door bell rang. 'Oh Shuichi has finally arrived.' Tatsuha rushed to the door and opened it "Shuichi why are you so." Tatsuha stopped. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He must be dreaming. "Hi. Are you Tatsuha?" Tatsuha didn't answer. He was thunderstrucked. 'This can't be true. It just can't be true.' "You are Tatsuha, right?" Tatsuha looked into bright blue eyes. Eyes he had seen a hundred times before. Everytime he stepped into his room these eyes looked at him from his wall. Tatsuha nodded. He received a big smile "My name is Sakume Ryuichi. Shuichi invited me. I hope that's o.k. It's your birthday right? Happy Birthday." Ryuichi pulled out a little present. Tatsuha took it with trembling fingers. "Hey what's wrong with you? Don't you feel well?" Ryuichi looked at him worried. He grabbed Tatsuhas hand "Lets go inside." And pulled him inside.
Tatsuha still couldn't believe it, but he slowly regained. Ryuichi had made him a cup of tea. Tatsuha drank a little. "I'm really sorry. You come here to visit me and also bring a present for me and I behave like this. It's my home so I should have offered you something. Gomen nasai." "You don't have to apologize. Please smile again. You look so nice when you smile." Tatsuha blushed, he was so happy to hear that , that he smiled on his entire face. "That's better. But where is Shu-chan?" "I don't know. He wanted to be hear at 12.00 p.m. and he still hasn't showen up. At that moment the phone rang. "Hello, Uesugi Tatsuha here." "Hello Tasuha, it's Shuichi, I'm sorry but I can't make it. I have to work and it will take several hours. I'm really sorry." "Oh, I see." "We see each other later and then we will celebrate your birthday. I promise. I have to hang up now. I will see you later. Bye." Tatsuha went back to the living room. Ryuichi was sitting on the couch laughing about a TV show. "It was Shuichi. He can't make it." "Oh that's bad." He thought for a second. "Well, than only we two go out and celebrate your birthday. Where do you want to go?" "You really don't have to stay with me. I'm fine. I'm sure you have better things to do. I don't want to be a burden to you." Tatsuha became sad. His chance to spend some time with Sakuma Ryuichi was fading away. "You are no burden to me. You are a very nice guy and I would like to go out with you today. It's your birthday and no one should be alone on his birthday. Come on lets go!"
They spend all day long together. Ryuichi had some free tickets for a amusement parc. They rode the rollercoasters, ate ice cream and had lots of fun together. They also took photos together. Tatsuha was very happy. 'I can't believe this. It's like a dream. Why can't I stay in this moment forever.?' In the evening they went to a karaoke bar. "Let's sing together!" Ryuichi enthusiatically yelled. He grabbed Tatsuhas wrist and wanted to go to the stage with him. "No." Tatsuha didn't get up of his seat. "I can't sing with you. You are so good. And I, I can't sing. It wouldn't be right." Ryuichi looked into Tatsuhas eyes, he took Tatsuhas hand in his own and softly pressed it. "You can sing with me." The moment seemed endless. Then Tatsuha followed him to the stage and together they sang Tatsuhas most liked Grasper song. "That was so great! Thank you. It's a real honor for me to be allowed to sing with you. It's the best birthday I've ever had. Thank you so much." "You're welcome. I had lots of fun today. And I hope you also had." "Of course." "I think we should leave now, it's already late. Shu-chan shouldn't worry about you." "O.k. Lets go."
It was already dark as they left the bar. They were walking along the street talking as suddenly someone grabbed Ryuichis arm. A middle aged man was holding Ryuichi tightly holding a knife in the other hand. Tatsuha stood motionless. "One move and this sweetie here will die." The man licked along Ryuichis throat. Tatsuha looked at them, he saw the fear in Ryuichis eyes. His hole bode started to shiver. "Let him go!" The man laughed. "No way. I want to get more. He tastes great." He turned around Ryuichis face and kissed him. At that moment Tatsuha went totally out of his mind. He ran towards the man and pulled him away from Ryuichi. "Don't touch him!" he sreamed as he punched the man in the face. A wild fight began. The man hit Tatsuha in the stomach. He tried to stab Tatsuha, but Tatsuha could parry. Tatsuha hit the man hard on the had and he fell to the ground. Tatsuha was breathing fast, wiping the the blood from his cheek. Ryuichi was shocked. "Tatsuha, are you o.k.?" Tatsuha sank to his knees. "Tatsuha!" Ryuichi ran to him and proped him. "You are bleeding!" Ryuichi sreamed in horror. The last thing Tatsuha saw were Ryuichis beautiful blue eyes wide opened, filled with fear, before he lost conciousness.
Slowly Tatsuha opened his eyes.'What happened? And where am I? Oh. What's this pain in my stomach?' Carefully Tatsuha palpated his stomach. A bandage? He looked around in the room. He was shocked, he was lying next to Sakuma Ryuichi. 'Oh yeah. I remember what happened. He must have brought me here after I fell unconciousness. He is so sweet when he's sleeping. He looks like a child, so innocent. I can't believe it! I'm lying in one bed with Sakuma Ryuichi!' Ryuichi opened his eyes and smiled a tortured smile at Tatsuha. "I'm glad you're awake again. You have been unconciousness for a long time. I must have fallen asleep. How are you feeling?" His eyes were filled with sorrow. "It's o.k. The wound is hurting a little bit but I'm sure it will soon be o.k. again." Tatsuha smiled. He tried to look as if he was really feeling well. He couldn't stand these sad eyes. Ryuichi turned away his head, he looked ashamed. "I'm so sorry. I can't tell you how sorry I am. It's all my fault." Ryuichi looked very sad. Tatsuha softly caressed his face. "It's o.k. Really. Don't be sad anymore." Ryuichi looked into Tatsuhas eyes. Slowly Tatsuhas face came closer and he felt Tasuhas warm and soft lips on his own.
'I can't believe it! It's my birthday and I'm all alone. Where is everybody? Yuki has to work until evening, he told me yesterday.
