False Hope with New Beginnings
Hi everyone, this story is going to be written by two people. One is me (Layn), which I will be doing Tohma PoV, and my friend will be Amanda will be Ryuichi PoV. We have completely different writing styles, so don't forget we are two different people; this will add more effect to the PoV. People always say I am like Tohma and they always say she's the naïve sort like Ryu, which I don't know if that is true but a lot of people agree. The chapters will be the dividers of the PoV. Ohhh one more thing, when PoV changes it will go back to the beginning of the last chapter, but in their point of view ohhh you'll get what I mean.
Anyway Enjoy!
Disclaimer: The story is ours, but the characters and Gravitation on a whole own by Maki Murakami.
WARNINGS: Yaoi (guy/guy) Content, pairings Yuki/Ryuichi Tohma/? (Not sure what we'll do with him). Shuichi is DEAD so if you don't like, read anyway you might like how this is done.
Plane Swept (Ch1) (Tohma PoV)
Running my finger over the cold rim of the whiskey glass, I look out the window of the plane. So much has happened in the last hours. Seems surreal, it really doesn't matter, if Eiri needs me I'll do anything, I love him too much not to. Continuing to look out over the sky, scanning the horizon seeing it's limitless infinite in its entire splendor, 'nothing compared to my Eiri' I think to my self.
"Tohma! You shouldn't be drinking so much! Bad, bad! You're not going to be able to help Eiri-san if you're toppled over!" I saw him look at me with concern. "Tohma…please, talk to Ryu-chan!"
I motion for a waitress with my head. "It's hard not to drink, when I think of my Eiri in such a state, but I will stop" setting the glass softly on the cart as it goes by. I look out the window.
"Thank you Tohma…" I start to zone out as he talks; going back to the moment I heard all of this.
Flash back
"Hello" I say groggily as I pick up the phone, wiping the sleep from my eyes.
"This is a Long distance phone Call, if you would like to accept the charges press 1" the operator said
Pressing the 1 on the pad, a frantic but scared voice comes on "Mr. President something has happened" 'hostile take over' I think.
"Mr. Sakano, I am not the President of NG anymore, you are" I hear Ryu rustling in the covers next to me. "This better be important, you are waking up Ryuichi-san"
"Shuichi-chan has committed suicide" I dropped the phone
"Tohma…?" Ryuichi in a meek voice
I pause and think of one thing and one thing only, Eiri. I whipped off the covers picked up the phone and set it gently on the base without saying goodbye. "We are leaving immediately" I set into motion, rushing over to the closet hearing Ryuichi agree. 'Walk-in closet' I think quietly to my self, what could be more me. Choosing a sleek, tight black leather trench coat; a pair of dress slack and an ocean blue dress shirt, a pair of Brono Magli Bishops, and a fine white silk scarf, which fades into a light blue at the tips. Slipping on everything a quick manner that I would criticize my self later for, I grab my prepared suitcase and leave to see Ryu working out stuff for his suitcase. "Ryu, we need to hurry, please" I say quickly, while walking to the phone to make arrangements. I call the only person I know who can get me to Japan as fast as possible, K.
"Tohma? What's going on? Why was Sakano-san talking to you?" I hear from behind me
"K, I will need what we discussed a while back" I say to the answering machine and hang up. Leaving the room I turn for a moment to regard Ryu, "I'll tell you on the way to K-san's, Ryu. Now please finish getting dressed. And don't worry about packing."
Sitting in the Mercedes, I think about all the stuff that has been laid in my lap to do, and the only person I am doing this for is my Eiri. I didn't like Shuichi at all, but he made Eiri happy, more than I could have done I guess, but not like he ever allowed me to try.
I start the black sports car waiting for Ryu… why now would Shuichi-san do this. He wouldn't, not to Eiri.
Ryuichi came barreling out of the door with his suit-case packed, a few clothes hanging out of the sides from the rush. 'I will have to prepare him a suit case next time'
I speed out of the garage barely missing the garage door as it goes up and continue to K's.
"Tohma…can you tell me what happened now?" Ryuichi says in a worried voice. Continuing to go through traffic like it's not even there "Tohma?"
My thoughts come at me trying to say the perfect thing to Ryu but to be truthful, maybe even blunt, it's hard to figure out to say something about a death about someone so dear to him "Ryu…it will be fine, no worries but, Mr. Sakano informed me that Mr. Shindou has committed suicide."
I have never seen his personality change so quickly at that moment, the sad look frozen in time. Something I never wanted to see again.
I count the seconds before he speaks "What…?" I see his hands move to his stomach, he is probably feeling a bit queasy. "Tohma…why?"
I take a moment to think, nothing seems plausible to him committing suicide, and he was too joyous. "I really don't know why he would do it, so I feel there is something not right in this whole situation. He loved Eiri too much to do something like that."
"…but…" the look on his face is still there, "Then what…then who…but…who would do that? …I don't understand…"
"Who knows the cruelty of man." As I turn into K's drive way.
FB ending
'Hmmm seems the phrase of man kind, very few truly do know another's cruelty unless they witness the person first hand.'
I look at my best friend, the bags under his eyes state his fatigue over his exuberance of energy. "You should get some rest, Ryu. We will need all the strength we can get."
"But what about Tohma!?"
"I'll be fine. No worries." My motto, my mantra.
He let's out a little pout, then falls to sleep almost instantly.
Staring out over the beautiful sky I realize the tribulations are only about to come.
