Silent Night

Prologue

---

It wasn't Christmas.

As a matter of fact, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing softly at everyone.

It wasn't silent.

The sound of the busy urban streets filled his ear with buzzing noises as he trudged through the sidewalk, unmindful of anything aside from the throbbing in his head that was accelerating and wasn't stopping…

It was morning.

But he intended it to be his last…

I really need a break, Yuki decided, clicking 'save' and turning off his computer. He had been meaning to talk to Shuichi these past days— but something always came up.

And the pink-haired brat never stayed long in the apartment anymore… not that it bothered him much…

Yuki got off his chair and walked into the kitchen, deciding that worrying on his lover wasn't going to make his situation any better. He fixed coffee and read the newspaper, just like he would in any other mornings.

He didn't hear the sirens racing through the streets… he was too busy cooking his breakfast.

He didn't hear the telephone ring… he was in the shower.

He didn't hear the message…

The message he would have wanted to hear.
