Chapter 1: True Friend…
Shuichi's POV
Do you ever feel so sad that you would just like to curl up and cry? You ever feel like what you have to give is not good enough? Why do I feel lower than everyone else? Hell at this point I think the dirt is at a higher level than I am… maybe I am as low as the earth's mantle. Heh… this is what love does to you I suppose. Why do I look so happy in those pictures though when I alone I can't even fake a smile to myself? And this is how my story begins… were it ends… ironic…
Normal POVThe rain that was pouring down seemed like it would be endless. Once again it was going to be a long night. The streetlights flickered outside as the lights of nature flashed about in the sky, stirring children in their sleep. One lone boy paced the sidewalk, his pink bangs plastered to his forehead, fists tight with frustration. Each step brought forth a wave of water before him. He forced his hands into his already full pockets and pulled out a photo, he brought the object close to his chest and continued on his walk.
His eyes grew heavy and the sidewalk before him became nothing but a blur. He stopped briefly and looked down at the object that his hands treasured. His knees gave way and met the cement below them. He couldn't stop the tears from falling to the ground below him.
"All I wanted was to be happy!" He knew that no one would hear his cry. It was more of a confession that he made out loud. His body felt limp and the next thing he knew his cheek was pressed up against the cold damp ground. His ocean blue eyes were no longer in site; his pink bangs gracefully fell to cover their view. He grinned at himself before whispering under his breath, "Guess I am pathetic huh?" He heard the sound of light footsteps on the sidewalk before him before his eyes fell shut and his body grew completely limp.
Slowly his eyes opened to reveal their waves filled with sorrow. The figure that stood before him was nothing more than a blur. He slowly sat up hoping that it would bring everything into full view. Finally his view adjusted and the tall figure before him became very clear.
"Hi-Hiro?" He rubbed his eyes lightly as if to wake from a dream. A warm hand placed upon his forehead was enough to bring his eyes to a full wake. Startled by the touch he slapped away the warmth.
"Don't touch me!" The boy's scream was enough to shake back his tears.
"Shuichi, chill the fuck out. You have a fever… I was just checking your temperature."
But Shuichi just kept on screaming, Hiro panicked as he tried to take a step forward he tripped over his guitar cord. There was nothing heard after that. When Hiro opened his eyes he found himself staring into the great depths of Shuichi's. Hiro's body almost perfectly aligned on top of the younger boy's, his elbows were barely holding him above Shuichi's face. Hiro's face grew amazingly red and he quickly stood to his feet.
"I found you passed out on the sidewalk not far from Yuki's house. I brought you back here, and it turns out that you had a fever." Hiro tried to shake away the feeling he got from that slight touch of Shuichi's body pressed against his. He is just a friend, nothing more… he found himself chanting this over and over in his head even though his member was telling him different. If it weren't for that, he would have liked to lay there a little longer.
"Heh…" Hiro turned to meet Shuichi's distant gaze. "Why did you not leave me there?"
Horrified Hiro grabbed a hold of Shuichi's shoulders and shook him lightly, " What the hell are you saying? Why would I leave you out there? You are my best friend Shuichi also the lead singer of our band."
A smirked graced Shuichi's features. " Heh. Without Yuki, I am nothing…"
Hiro placed his hand under Shuichi's chin and brought his eyes up to meet his.
"What?"
" I am worthless and I get into everybody's way. I don't do anything right. Now that Yuki is gone there is no reason for me to stay strong." He tried to force another smile across his face but it didn't come. Seeing this frustrated Hiro to the point were he didn't notice that he tightened his grip on Shuichi's chin. He brought his finger across Shuichi's trembling lips. Why was he acting like this? Why did he find it hard to keep his hands off Shuichi? Slowly he released Shuichi's chin from his tight grasp and brought his arms around his friends back. Drawing him into a tight hug. Nuzzling his pink head of hair into Hiro's chest he grabbed tight to his friend's black sweater as he started to sob. Hiro didn't know what to say to this all. He knew that his friend would reject what ever he said right now as soon as it left his lips. But he still had to try right?
"Shu-Shuichi… I bet mister Yuki will come back…" His friend's sobs became more apparent now; Hiro couldn't help but think that what he said had made Shuichi feel even worse than he did before.
"For good… gone for good…" Shuichi mumbled under his breath. " Gone?"
"Shu-Shuichi stop talking like that. You know that Yuki always takes you back… you know that-"
"Just shut up! It is over! Yuki is not going to take me back!" Shuichi's voice shook Hiro from his state of mind.
"Shuichi you don't need Yuki say strong you know that… I know that you can stay strong with-" Hiro's voice trailed off he didn't want to any further with that topic right now. Shuichi's questionable eyes only looked up at his friend's for a split second before they lowered from Hiro's view.
"I think you should have a bit more sleep Shuichi. What do you say to that?" Hiro was hoping that there would be no problem with getting an answer from Shuichi. Slowly Shuichi released his grip on his friend's sweater and fell silent. From there Hiro helped Shuichi get his socks off and also his pants. Shuichi had no problem with this due to the fact that he was used to getting undressed in front of Hiro at countless sleepovers and such since they were young. Hiro slowly pushed Shuichi's back down again the softness of his king size bed and pulled the covers up.
"We will talk about this when you wake up. Please… get some rest… for me at least…" A sweet smile graced his features before he once again placed his hand on top of Shuichi's forehead. As if a signal Shuichi's eyes slowly closed as he felt Hiro's hand rest a top of his head. Hiro lifted his hand and looked down at Shuichi with worry in his eyes.
"You have your fever back. If you need anything just call me. I will be in the living room."
Shuichi didn't even open his eyes to respond, "Alright... Thank you Hiro, you have always been a true friend…" Shuichi's voice lowered into a soft mumble. Hiro felt a tight grip on his heart when he heard that. He left the door of his room open and walked into the living room where the television was still on from when he walked out the door to get a find Shuichi. He had a problem with remembering to turn things off before he left his house. He cringed just about every second when looking through his mail wondering what the electricity bill would look like, though this still didn't remind him to turn off things when they were not in use. He walked over to the couch and fell to the cushions below him. He let out a little yelp as he reached underneath him. Pulling out a remote he laughed slightly.
"You don't know how much household objects hurt until you sit on them I suppose." He chuckled to himself. He flipped through the channels in a rather hasty pace. His eyes weren't even on the television he was staring at his bedroom door wondering if Shuichi was alright being in there alone. He pressed the off button on the remote before slowly getting onto his feet and heading back into his room. When he got to the doorway he just sat there and stared. There was Shuichi half under the blankets, and some how his boxers were pulled up above his thighs. Hiro drew in a deep breath and continued into his room. Slowly he placed his hand on top of Shuichi's forehead, and it automatically snapped back.
"Jeez, he is freezing…" In attempt to sooth away his friend's chilled skin he pulled the covers up so that every part of his body was covered. Hiro sigh lightly for he could feel his erection become weak. "I swear you always have me worrying my head off it seems." A sweet smile graced Hiro's features as he leaned down and lightly brushed his hand against the chilling skin of the younger. "If you only knew how much I worried about you… maybe… maybe then you would become less reckless and think things through." A soft laugh escaped his throat. "No, that couldn't be true. Heh, if I was Mr. Yuki I could work magic on you huh? He can make you happy one minute and the next you are broken in two. If it were me, I would make you happy all the time and try my best not to make you cry. But then again that is a task in it's self." He paused when Shuichi started to rustle around in the sheets.
"Yuki…" Was all that escaped his lips before he stopped stirring.
Harsh reality hit Hiro again; Yuki was all that was on Shuichi's mind. Yuki would probably be the only one that he would love too. There was no room for him; he knew that could make things better. He pushed his anger aside and focused on Shuichi's health. Hiro traveled to the other side of the bed and slowly got under the covers. Moving closer to the pink haired boy he pulled the covers back over Shuichi and himself. Reaching forward he pulled Shuichi into his warm arms, with his back pressed up against Hiro's chest and Hiro's chin rested on top of Shuichi's shoulder.
"Yuki…" Shuichi soft moan made Hiro smile.
"No… but I will be taking his place soon enough."
