A/N: Hello Minna!
I proudly present you with the prologue of my new multi-chaptered Takumi-kun fanfic. The story takes place during Takumi and Gii's final year as undergraduate students at university and I hope that you'll not only enjoy reading the prologue of this story but stay with me and follow it until the end.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank my friend 'Akkadia' who came up with the idea that I should use a French title for this story since Gii is partly of French descent. Thanks my dear!
The English translation for the story's title is "Laugh again tomorrow".

Last but not least I'd like to dedicate this story to the reader who requested it almost one year ago: Lady Xyenia this story is for you!

Announcement: I also updated my other Takumi-kun fanfic "Red Strings of Destiny" at last. If you have a minute, please have a look at the latest chapter and leave me a comment with yout thoughts. Every review is motivating and therefore highly appreciated.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Takumi-kun series. I only own this story and the original characters I've created for it.

Prologue

"Your 'Japanese Airlines' flight 'JAL 357' bound for Tokyo Narita is now ready for boarding," the flight attendant announced in a polite yet business-like manner. "We invite all first class and business class passengers as well as all passengers with 'JAL Club' premium status to proceed to the check-in gate. Please have your tickets and passports ready for inspection."

Upon hearing the announcement Saki Giichi, amongst his friends better known as 'Gii', rose swiftly to his feet and smiling politely at the young woman at the exit of the gate he showed her his travel documents before making his way through the glass doors and down the long, narrow corridor to board the aircraft, his smile growing wider with every step he was taking. "Takumi," the handsome upper-class man whispered inaudibly and his heart started inevitably beating a tad faster as an image of his beloved boyfriend, smiling brightly as if he had swallowed the sun, appeared in front of his mind's eye.

The four weeks of spring break had almost come to an end and much to his dismay Gii had been obliged to spend them in New York since he had been asked by his father to attend to some important matters related to the business empire he would inherit and be responsible for one day. 'Takumi, only a few more hours and then I can finally hold you in my arms again,' the amber-haired youth mused as he took his window seat in the first class and sighed blissfully, the mere thought of being soon reunited with his one and only making him feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

After four long, at times seemingly endless, weeks of deprivation from his ebony-haired sweetheart Gii was yearning for the young man and craving his warmth, his scent, his touch. He was dying to hear the sound of Takumi's soft, velvety voice, to embrace his one and only, to kiss and caress him, to hold him close, to feel soon-to-be musician's heart, whose rhythm was matching the one of his own so perfectly, beating against his chest and with a mild smile tugging at the corners of his mouth the handsome upper-class man shook his head, amazed, like so many times before, at the strength and depth of his feelings for the beautiful, almost twenty-two year old student who had been a shy, withdrawn loner at the time they had first met at Shidou Gakuin nearly seven years prior.

Sure, he had been harboring a serious and sincere affection for Takumi ever since the day he had first laid eyes upon him the day he had seen the ebony-haired angel perform at a violin recital he had been obliged to attend at the age of seven or eight, but even after he had finally met Takumi again at Shidou Gakuin, had become the other's roommate and ultimately his boyfriend and lover, Gii never would have dreamt that this timid, young man with his big, beautiful, dark eyes whose depths were seemingly endless and his captivating smile that could light up a whole room would become his everything, his whole existence one day.

'Soon my sweet Takumi, soon,' he shivered as he closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep, images of the one he loved more than anything else in the world lingering in front of his mind's eye.

oOo

Takumi was sitting on the sofa in the living area of the comfortable apartment he shared with Gii reading a book, but quickly put it aside and rose to his feet the moment he heard a key being inserted into the lock of the front door. "Tadaima," Gii exclaimed exuberantly as he burst into the living room, less than a thirty seconds after he had opened the door, where he dropped his travelling bags and pulled his boyfriend close before he lifted the young man up into the air and spun him around a couple of times while laughing wholeheartedly at him. "Okaeri," Takumi replied sweetly once his boyfriend had finally put him down, a gentle smile gracing his lips as he gazed deeply into the handsome upper-class man's gentle, hazel-colored eyes, relishing the feeling of being in the amber-haired student's arms again. "Welcome back."

"God Takumi, it's so good to be home again. You have no idea how much I've missed you during these past four weeks. There hasn't been a single day passing by without me thinking about you, wishing that you would be by my side," the so addressed man sighed softly and let one of his hands wander caressingly over his beloved's back. "My beautiful darling…look what you have done to me. You made me fall so much in love with you that I can't stand being without you any more, not even for such a relatively short time as a mere four weeks."

"G-Gii," the ebony-haired youth stammered blushing in the most adorable manner and before he had the chance to say anything else he was cut off by his lover who had leaned in and taken his mouth captive with one swift motion. With a faint sigh tearing from him Takumi let his eyes drift shut and as he eagerly responded to Gii's kiss, he wrapped his arms tightly around the handsome upper-class man's neck upon which he felt himself being pulled further into the other's embrace almost instantaneously.

Relishing the feeling of his beloved's lips brushing gingerly against his own Gii began to nibble and suckle the young man's bottom lip in playful, stimulating manner then outlined it sensually with the tip of his tongue, demanding entrance which earned him another breathy sigh from his one and only and unable to hold back a soft moan of his own when he perceived Takumi obligingly parting his lips just a second later, the amber-haired student lost no time to deepen the kiss and began to explore the moist, warm cavern of his boyfriend's mouth with ardent passion, the young man's taste gradually mixing with his own as their tongues swirled around each other in a heated, erotic dance.

How he had been missing those kisses during the past four weeks, how he had been craving his lover's lips, their soft sweetness and judged by the passionate way in which Takumi was kissing him back, the ebony-haired youth seemed to have had similar feelings. Moaning softly in pleasure as he felt Gii's tongue brushing repeatedly against his own in ardent caresses that were holding the promise of something much more intimate than the passion-filled kiss they were sharing the young man lost himself completely in the heavenly feeling of it, tilting his head a little to the side, thus allowing his boyfriend to deepen the kiss even further which the handsome upper-class man promptly did only all too willingly and once the two lovers finally broke the kiss several long moments later their breaths were ragged and their chests heaving.

"God, I missed you so much," Gii gasped out a second time and meeting his beloved's gaze once more he ran his hand gingerly over the youth's cheek. "I swear that next time I have to go to New York, whether it's on business or because of family-related matters, I'll take you with me, no matter what." "I missed you too Gii…I missed you too," Takumi replied breathy, smiling so beautifully that it caused Gii's heart to skip a beat, but there was something in the in the ebony-haired youth's smile that the handsome upper-class man couldn't put his finger on, something he couldn't quite interpret, something akin to a hint of pained sadness and on closer observation he also noticed that his one and only seemed a little pale as well as worn out.

"Takumi, are you alright," he inquired softly, his warm baritone voice laced with genuine concern as he gingerly cupped the other's face thus forcing the young man to meet his searching gaze before he finally took him by the hand and led him over to the comfortable sofa. "What's the matter my love? You look tired and exhausted. Has anything happened during my absence?" "No, no Gii, everything is just fine, so please don't worry," Takumi replied hastily and began to fidget a little. "Maybe I'm just a little tired because I've worked eight or nine hours almost every day at my part-time job during the spring break."

"I see, but promise me that you will take care not to overwork yourself," the handsome upper-class man stated firmly and pulled his boyfriend onto his lap, wrapping his arms around the young man's middle before he buried his face in the curve the ebony-haired youth's neck and began to nuzzle its soft skin in the most affectionate manner. "I know that you want to remain independent, that you don't want to depend on me financially and I've told you many times that I'm perfectly fine with it," he whispered quietly, "but you can't be reckless with your health darling. Next Monday we have to go back to university and that day marks not only the beginning of another semester, but the beginning of our final year as undergraduate students. Therefore this year is going to be a very tough one and it will require a lot of strength of us."

"I know Gii, I know and I promise you that I will always look after myself," Takumi answered huskily, "no matter where life is going to take me…I mean us." And with that he leaned in to place a sweet, lingering kiss onto his lover's lips before resting his head against the amber-haired man's broad shoulders, hiding his face in the folds of the other's shirt as he fought back the tears that had begun to burn in his eyes, hoping that his little slip of the tongue had gone unnoticed.

"Takumi, my sweet precious Takumi," Gii whispered endearingly and began to nuzzle his beloved's neck once more, his hands travelling slowly up and down the young man's back on their own accord and when Takumi felt Gii's warm breath tickling his sensitive skin, the handsome student's soft lips brushing against it in feathery, sensual caresses he nestled closer to his lover, a purr of contentment leaking from his mouth. "Unngh…"

Upon hearing the beautiful moan Gii couldn't help but smile victoriously to himself as he started to trail a series of soft, lingering, highly stimulating kisses down his boyfriend's neck, nipping here and there at the heated, sensitive skin in playful yet arousing manner which caused Takumi to let out another breathy sigh, Gii's sensual caresses sending delicious shivers down his spine that made his skin tingle and when heat began to spread slowly inside his body his breath gradually quickened, his lust and desire for his lover heightening with every single one of the handsome upper-class man's touches, kisses and caresses.

"A-Ah Gii," he moaned huskily and burying one hand in his boyfriend's silky, amber-colored hair he arched his neck, silently begging for more. The so addressed youth obliged almost instantaneously and trailed his tongue from Takumi's jaw slowly down to the curve of his neck knowing that it was one of the young man's most sensitive spots and once he had reached his destination he took some of the soft, yielding flesh gently between his teeth and began to suck, nibble and bite until a mark started to become visible, coaxing soft sighs and moans of pleasure out of his beloved in the process, driving him wild with need and desire. Enjoying the sounds tearing from his lover Gii continued his arousing ministrations and when he was at last satisfied with his work, he placed a lingering kiss onto the love bite before he trailed his lips back up to take the ebony-haired youth's mouth captive again with ardent passion.

Takumi immediately responded equal fervidness, soon allowing his impetuous lover to deepen the kiss and as their tongues kept brushing repeatedly against each other in the most erotic manner, Gii let his hands travel ever so slowly over his beloved's shoulders, down his back towards the waist where he finally slipped them swiftly into the young man's shirt, gingerly caressing the warm, soft skin for which he was rewarded with a faint yet sweet moan. "N-ngh…" Once the need for air forced the two lovers to break their passionate kiss at last the amber-haired student met Takumi's misty gaze and with a sultry smile playing about his mouth he began to brush up his beloved's top, his passion-glazed eyes never leaving the ones of his one and only.

"Takumi," he whispered in an endearing bedroom voice upon which the ebony-haired youth obediently raised his arms thus allowing his lover to swiftly take off and discard the disruptive piece of clothing. "Gii," Takumi breathed huskily and met the amber-haired student's eyes again as he felt the man tenderly outlining the contours of his face, finally brushing a finger gingerly over his lips and he couldn't prevent a soft sigh tearing from him at the sensation. "My beautiful Takumi," Gii breathed once more and placed a loving but innocent kiss onto his boyfriend's lips before trailing a series of feathery butterfly kisses along the young man's jaw and down his neck and when another moan of pleasure reached his ears he continued his sensual caresses.

Resting one hand at the base of Takumi's neck the handsome upper-class man brushed his mouth gingerly along the young man's collar bones while roaming the other hand over his shoulder blades and chest, letting it finally ghost over his highly sensitive nipples upon which the ebony-haired youth's head snapped back and his body began to twitch in response to the highly stimulating touch, several wanton gasps and moans escaping its owner as pleasure started to surge through him like the electric impulses. "Hmm-ah…G-Gii!"

"Let's go to bed Takumi," the handsome upper-class man breathed softly against his the velvet-like skin at the base of his beloved's neck and halted his sweet, sensual torture for a moment, leaning back so that he could face the other and once the ebony-haired youth whose eyes had darkened with lust and desire had wordlessly nodded his consent Gii wrapped his arms tightly around his boyfriend's middle as well as his upper thighs and rose to his feet, effortlessly lifting the young man up with him.

Blushing slightly Takumi buried his face in the curve of Gii's neck as the amber-haired student carried him, with the utmost care, over to the adjoining bedroom where he lowered him gently onto the bed then straddled his hips and offering his one and only an erotic smile Gii quickly discarded his own shirt before leaning in to claim the ebony-haired student's lips again and soon the couple immersed in heated and excited passion.

Takumi moaned and gasped out repeatedly at the sensation of the handsome upper-class man sucking and licking his hardening nipples then trailing hot, burning kisses all over his upper body while letting one hand travel slowly down towards his abdomen where it set to work on undoing his jeans. "A-aaah…Gii…p-please," he begged panting wantonly and arched further into his lover's ministrations, writhing in pleasure every time he was caressed by the amber-haired man, letting out a muffled cry when he felt the amber-haired man's hand brushing teasingly over the thin fabric of his boxer shorts before finally disappearing inside them.

"Do you want me," Gii asked huskily as he let his fingers ghost over his boyfriend's erect member a couple of times, driving the young man almost insane with need and desire. "Yes…yes, I do," Takumi gasped out and bucked hips to give point to his words. "I…I want you," he pleaded huskily, his lustful voice being barely more than a whisper. "I…I want you to…ngh…to make love to me…a-all night long."

"Did you miss me that much," the handsome upper-class man inquired velvety while gently stripping his beloved off his pants and underwear and once he had gotten rid of the clothes he quickly discarded the rest of his own garments. "Yes…yes I did," the ebony-haired youth whispered softly and placed his hands firmly onto Gii's shoulder blades to pull him down for another hot, passionate and lustful kiss, determined to conceal, at least for the time being, the true reason for his clingy behavior and his almost desperate need for love from the man he loved with all his heart, the man who had changed his life in so many ways.

A/N: Phew...that was a tough beginning to write. I never started a story with a love scene before and I hope you enjoyed this prologue.
What's wrong with Takumi? What has happened during Gii's absence? Why is he so clingy and emotionally unstable?
Questions, questions...

If you want me to continue this story so that you can get to the bottom of all this...
