Title :: Hide me within your Danger-Zone
Author:: Kiriyada
Rating:: M
Warnings:: Plot-twisting, yaoi, MxM, Oh noes! Gayness! Nudity, Sexuality of the homo variety, males playing with and screwing around with each others' nibbly-bits! Seriously...don't like it, don't read...
Pairings:: Shinji x Shuya, Insinuated Shuya x Nobu
Summary:: If only Shinji had been able to meet up with Shuya, maybe he could have given up his playboy-ways for one special guy. Maybe.
Author's notes:: Yey, my debut fic…well, for this account, at least //Cough// Anyway, yeah…I might love Kiriyama and Kawada, but I do love Shinji. I prefer Shinji's attitude from the manga, so that's what I went with, as for Shuya, it's mostly movie Shuya, but I gave his speech a little more slang than the movie did. I haven't written for either of these characters before, so we'll just have to see how much dignity they walk away with after this. More notes - In the novel, Shuya is commonly referred to as 'Wild seven,' and Shinji is known as 'The third man,' I really didn't pull those nick-names out of my ass. I take elements from all three media; mostly from the novel, then the movie, and then the manga.

One more :: Enjoy! And please comment / feedback for me :3 And also...I had intended to put this up all at once, but I got impatient with myself, oops....

Ever since this game had begun, Shuya had been determined to keep an eye on his closest friends –Since he clearly could not save everyone. Too many of them were playing this damned game forged by the government. Akamatsu, Toshimichi, and Motobuchi, just to name a few. Shogo had made it painfully obvious to the rather naïve junior high student that he would not be able to save everyone. So Shuya had narrowed it down.

His priorities now, were this;

Protect Noriko, for Nobu.

Save anyone else who isn't playing this game.

Find Sugimura, because he knew that he could trust him

Stay alive.

And also, find Mimura. Shinji Mimura. The third man.

Shuya had to find him. If nothing else, he had to at least protect Noriko and find Shinji. That was enough. If anyone could find a way off of this island, it would be Shinji. Sure, they had Kawada, but part of Shuya still didn't want to trust Shogo. He was apprehensive, and with good reason. He'd already seen too many of his classmates die and he didn't know how much longer he could hold himself together. If anyone could give him reason not to fall apart, it was Shinji. Well, now that Nobu was…

Oh god, Nobu.

Every single time that Shuya imagined his face, he felt his throat begin to tighten. How he missed Nobu already. They were everything to each other. Everything. No one would ever truly know what Nobu meant to Shuya, he was so much more then a best friend, and now he was gone. It was all because of Kitano, Kitano and this stupid game! Again and again, Shuya could see the collar that was snug around Nobu's neck flashing. The blinking had gotten faster and faster…

'What is this?'

'Help me!'

…Until finally…

'Shuya!'

With one last cry of Shuya's name, Nobu was gone.

…Goodbye, Nobu…and remember…I love you…
