Chapter 1
Reiji's Point Of View.
I am on his stage. I was one of those things he pushed away to the other side of his stage. I'm on the very, very edge, so close, the heels of my shoes were hanging off.
I think that if him and Yuki weren't kissing and loving each other on the other side of the stage, he would come over and knock me off himself. He did save me once before, but he didn't come to save me, he came to stop Yuki. Or maybe this time would be different and he would come running over here once I started falling.
I doubt it.
I looked over at the two lovers on the stage of Shuuichi's life, they were kissing like they were teasing me. Arrogantly and yet, so full of passion. I looked over at Hiro, who was more in the middle of the stage, with sad eyes. And I looked over at the audience, where everybody else who'd been thrown off the stage sat, hoping for a chance to come back.
It was like, if Yuki was around, everything and everyone else was meaningless. Yuki was number one.
But where was Hiro?
And where was I?
How can he reject two people who would give him the world and everything more to make him happy? And yet, he leaves us for a man, who told him to quit singing.
Hiro starts to cry, or rather, he tries to hold back his tears. I think he realized, what I just realized because now I'm crying. They're now nipping at each other, their clothes slowly coming off.
I look out to the audience again, where everybody is sitting, scattered in order of how meaningless they are to him.
I count, and I'm the third most important person to Shuuichi. I couldn't ask for anything more then being number three in his heart. And gradually, as their shirts come off, I slip.
I'm removed from the stage.
I now sit four rows behind Ryuuichi. I'm now less important then Ryuuichi.
Nobody is speaking, it's been quiet the entire time, except for the gasping and moaning of Shuuichi. The only person still up there, is Hiro. He's crying his eyes out and is moving further and further away from the middle. But it's not Shuuichi's will, it's his own.
I cry for Hiro.
I stand up in my chair in the audience and wipe off my tears. " I hate you Shuuichi! How can you leave the ones who care about you the most! Hiro and I would give anything to see you happy! Anything!" I scream. I take a few breaths. I know he isn't listening, but everybody else is.
"...And you'd leave us all dying in the middle of nowhere to just get a glance at Yuki. I don't think that's love, Shuuichi." I walk out of the stage, the audience, out of his life that is this place. I sit outside the door, with my head on my knees, crying.
He didn't even look at me when I yelled. It went in one ear and out the other.
I heard the door next to me creak open, and Ryuuichi walked out, with Noriko following closely behind. They looked at me with sad faces, but continued.
Next came Tohma and Sakano, Tohma nodded at me, and he continued on.
Then was K, Judy and Ark. " We'll wait for you outside." Judy smiled, leaving.
Yoshiki comes out next and bows to me.
Then comes Maiko and Shuuichi's parents.
Then finally, it's Suguru, holding the door open for Hiro.
I whisper to myself as Hiro walks past me, " Shuuichi, you just lost everything."
A/N: I came up with this strange little fic in my Algebra CD class, while I was supposed to be doing my warm-up. It turned out sadder then I meant it to be.
