... Writer's block really sucks.
Anway, I thought I'd post something so show everyone that I am alive. This is my first shot at a Gravitation story so I'm sorry if everything is too out of whack. Constructive criticism is complete welcome. This is actually a few months old and I haven't been able to write anything long and continuous for almost a year now… Oh well, hopefully I'll come out of this mini-slump this summer.
Random idea that stuck in my head; read at your own risk. I have no idea where I would go with this but I need to do something to clear my head.
Warnings: OOC-ness, Shounen-ai (duh), and all around crap.
Shuuichi slumped himself against the wall, his lead resting against the plain white wall as he tried to hold back the salty tears that threatened to spill form his amethyst eyes. He wouldn't cry... he couldn't let himself cry. No, not this time. Not this time.
Shuuichi cried about everything, giving him the regular titled of a crybaby (something that never fazed him). But for Shuuichi, crying was basically an emotional outlet for him; it showed that everything was fine, that nothing wrong had happened. When the pink haired singer cried/wailed, it was simply part of the daily routine.
But when Shuuichi couldn't (or wouldn't) cry... that was a big red flag right there.
'Why... Damnit, why? ... How... How could you...?'
Shuuichi opened his eyes slowly and looked around his brightly colored room. Shuuichi actually rarely slept here, much preferring to sleep in Yuki's bed but today... today Shuuichi had a feeling that Yuki wouldn't want him around.
Shuuichi mentally bitterly snorted at the thought, 'Yeah, a feeling all right. A very strong feeling that has to do with Seguchi sleeping with my lov-,' Shuuichi cut himself off, '...ex -lover.'
Shuuichi closed his eyes again, forcing his mind to remember exactly what had happened. He had only been away for a week or so for a concert in Kyoto, but it was still far too long for Shuuichi to be away from his novelist lover (as Yuki knew due to the fact that Shuuichi called him almost every day after practice). The concert had just been the other night and been a complete success.
Shuuichi stopped. He could almost smile as he remember the bright lights, the music pounding in his eyes as he opened his mouth to sing the familiar lyrics, and, best of all, the screaming fans with their eyes trained on them with adoration and slight envy. He could almost smile…almost.
But then, it was over. The quick-moving beat stopped and he opened his eyes to flash a quick smile at the audience while their screams still hung in the air. The heavy crowds moving closer in a futile attempt to grab something onstage. Hiro and Suguru were smiling behind him, waving at the crowd as the stage darkened and they quickly hurried off.
They weren't supposed to arrive back in Tokyo until two days later as K-san had planned for them to rest a day or two before heading back. However, Shuuichi managed to convince ("convince" being whining so loud about missing Yuki until everyone agreed just to shut him up) the rest of the group to head back a day early.
Suguru hadn't cared much but vaguely mentioned something about working on some new arrangements for an upcoming single. He most likely more than 'vaguely mention' it but Shuuichi hadn't be too bust bouncing off the walls at this point. Hiro agreed, knowing that Shuuichi was excited and saying that he was sure Ayaka wouldn't mind if he came back a day early. K-san had done the usual —point a possibly loaded gun to Shuuichi head— but the pink haired boy was not deterred by the threat. The reason was most likelyfound by the fact thathe was clinging to said manager's shoulders at the time wearing a pair of bunny ears to appeared from goodness-knows-where.
Therefore, they all drove back to town in the bus, in which, halfway there the band had ended up locking Shuuichi in one of the closets, bound and gagged. They had arrived later than they had hoped due to traffic but it wasn't long before they said their quick 'goodnight's before agreeing —Read: threatening— to meet back at the studio on Monday.
Shuuichi had walked back into the apartment quietly, assuming that Yuki had been asleep. After stifling an upcoming giggle at imagining Yuki's face when he jumped on him to wake him up, the pink-haired singer had (somehow) silently made his way over to Yuki's bedroom. And then…
Shuuichi had walked right in on them...and… neither seemed to notice. The kissing couple didn't notice as Shuuichi gave a strangled cry or as he simply turned around and left, the door shutting softly. No one. Then again; did Yuki ever notice him?
Shuuichi wouldn't lie to himself; he loved Yuki more than anything but seeing the blond novelist with Seguchi-san... The singer sighed again, shutting his usually violet orbs again. He was more hurt than angry. Actually he wasn't angry at all. He loved Yuki too much to be angry, and he really just wanted Yuki to be happy and if Seguchi-san made him happy then... then... Shuuichi would step aside. Permanently.
'Maybe its time to leave for good. Perhaps it's time to... time to go back where I belong.'
Shuuichi's eyes snapped opened, steadying himself as he made his decision; by the time Yuki would awaken the next morning, Shindou Shuuichi would have disappeared from Japan. By the time Yuki woke up, Shindou Shuuichi would be nothing more than a memory.
Eiri Yuki groaned as he sat up, glaring at the offending alarm clock that woke him up form his blissful sleep. He ran a hand through his ruffled blond locks as he looked at the sleeping figure next to him. He groaned inwardly as he saw the mop of blond hair that was half hidden under the covers.
Yuki didn't know what provoked him to sleep with Seguchi... again. But, when the blond showed up the night before things got... out of hand.
'Well that's a pretty fuckin' big understatement.'
Yuki sighed as he got out of the warm bed, slipping a soft white robe over his nude shoulders before walking to the kitchen to make himself breakfast. Shuuichi wasn't suppose to be back until the next day so Yuki wasn't worried at being caught in bed with his brother-in-law.
However, Yuki wasn't completely heartless and he knew if Shuuichi found the two, he'd completely break. Yes, Yuki did care about the pink-haired singer, and loved him to an extent but...
Yuki sighed as he stopped the thought. If he had to truly choose between Tohma and Shuuichi, whom would he choose?
'Shuuichi.'
Yuki blinked as his mind made the automatic decision on its own; would he really choose to stay with the pinked haired singer?
'Yes. Yes, I would.'
Yuki shook his head and ran a hand through his messy blond hair as he ran the thought through his mind again. He'd talk to Tohma today and hopefully he could end this, once and for all. Hopefully.
Despite what people though, Shuuchi wasn't an idiot. ... Well, not completely anyway. Academically, he was smart enough to pass classes without straining himself too much (had he wanted), but every once in awhile, he'd do something that was just so... dumb that it made him look overly stupid. Everyone thought they knew Shindou Shuuichi but...
Shindou Shuuichi doesn't exist.
Akino Shuuichi was another story altogether though.
Shindou Shuuchi could barely speak Japanese correctly. Akino Shuuichi was fluent in Japanese, Chinese and English.
Shindou Shuuchi's dream was to be a J-pop star. Akino Shuuichi's dream was to be a mediwizard.
Shindou Shuuichi was twenty years old. Akino Shuuichi was twenty-four years old.
Shindou Shuuichi had been at the bottom of the class at the local high school in Tokyo. Akino Shuuchi had been in the top 10 student at Imperial School of Magical Arts near Beijing, China.
Shindou Shuuichi was an ordinary singer. Akino Shuuichi was... Akino Shuuichi was a wizard.
Shindou Shuuichi doesn't exist... not anymore.

Everyone's OOC... Go away.
May 21, 2005- Wow… People actually like this. I honestly have most of the main kinks and details thought out and with reasoning and other stuff there but I can't get it into words without it sounding odd. Someone mentioned the whole thing about Shuuichi having a sister and family and I do have reasoning for that… which you'll find out eventually if I continue. Until then, just assume this follows the anime (which, for those who don't know, his sister and family never actually show up).
Since people did like this, I'll try my best to continue it as soon as I can as the reviews got me a bit of a writing mood. (Mind you, most likely not good writing.) If anyone has ideas, feel free to throw them at me (along with the rotten fruits). I added a bit more to it here and there and did some more editing and proofreading. I'll try to add more as I go along so if I get another chapter out, I suggest rereading this one quickly just incase I added something important.
Also, if this was a little too vague (I've had two people mention something like this to me), it's kind of meant to be that way. Heh… Hopefully it'll all make sense later on… (If not, I'll post the general summary and stuff so everyone doesn't come after me with pitchforks.)
