Chronicle One
Shuichi sat up in bed, then yawned and stretched. And then he put his hands behind him, resting his palms on the mattress, and look to his side, where the love of his life slept. Shuichi blushed. He...he's so cute! Shuichi suddenly hugged the person he loved so much.
"Shuichi, can you get off of me?"
Shuichi jumped. "Yu-Yuki, you're awake?" Yuki pushed Shuichi away. "Why are you still here?" asked Yuki. Shuichi smiled. "Remember? Yesterday you said I could stay over for a bit"
Yuki stared at Shuichi. Shuichi looked at him. "What?" Yuki suddenly kicked Shuichi.
"Ow! What was that for!" Yuki looked angry. "I said a bit, not the whole night." Shuichi looked at him, innocently. "B-but we were having so much fun last night."
Yuki blushed, remembering about the night before. Shuichi had simply come over to rant about how mad he was at a TV station which canceled Bad Luck's show. Yuki didn't want really want to hear him complain anymore, so he kissed Shuichi, which forced him to shut up. A few seconds after moving their lips apart, Shuichi glomped Yuki. A minute later, they started to make out. Shuichi wanted a yaoi moment, but Yuki refused to give him one. Yuki concluded that they must have fallen asleep.
Yuki looked at Shuichi. "Leave. Now." Shuichi looked up at his lover with a sad look in his eyes. "Why, Yuki?"
Yuki threw Shuichi out. Before he slammed the door shut, he said, "If you would like to, you can over tomorrow night, okay?"
Shuichi stayed silent. What did I do? Yuki...
Shuichi wandered aimlessly down the road, having no clue where he was going. His thoughts were empty (Wow, that's a first!) and he stared into space.
"Shuichi?" asked a familiar voice. It was Maiko, Shuichi's sister. She walked over to him and leaned forward.
"Oh...hey Sis," Shuichi murmured. No sign of life seemed to exist in his eyes. He continued walking, as his sister followed him down the road. "Why?"
"Why what?" asked Maiko, starting to worry about Shuichi's blank expression. Shuichi suddenly collapsed to the ground. "Shuichi!" she exclaimed, kneeling on the ground, trying to lift up her brother. She had only lifted half of his body off of the ground, but not much.
"I don't think..." whispered Shuichi, so quiet that his sister could only hear. Maiko looked down at her poor brother. "I don't think..." Shuichi looked at his sister, helplessly. "I don't think Yuki loves me!" he cried, tears forming in his once blank eyes. Maiko rubbed Shuichi's back.
"Don't cry, it'll be fine Shuichi! I'm sure he loves you"
Shuichi sat up quickly. He wiped his eyes. "I-i-if Hiro sees me like this...he'll...he'll...hurt Yuki!" Shuichi looked down into the ground. His hands rested in his lap.
"Hey...Maiko?"
Maiko looked at her brother and nodded. "Yes?"
"Does mom and dad...know...that I'm a homosexual yet?"
She looked at him. "No...why?"
Shuichi looked over at his sister. "Because...well..."
Maiko stared into his eyes. She wait for him to say something. "Because, well...at the next conference or interview is at...I'm gonna...I'm gonna...tell everyone I'm one." Maiko's eyes widened at what Shuichi was saying.
Unexpectedly, she grabbed Shuichi's jacket collar and dragged him close. She shook him back and forth. "Are you nuts! You know, that can ruin your whole career!" Shuichi just stared at her.
She let go of him. Out of no where, Hiroshi Nakano; Shuichi's best friend; appeared. "What are you guys doing?" He asked, a smile on his face.
Maiko looked at Hiroshi. "Shuichi's talking nonsense."
Hiroshi got down to Shuichi's level. He saw faded blotches of red on Shuichi's face. "Shuichi...were you crying?" Shuichi looked over to the side and reluctantly nodded.
"Who...who made you cry?"
"It was Yuki Eiri..." Maiko casually announced.
"No! Sis! You trader! You b---" Hiroshi covered Shuichi's mouth.
"What did he do to you?" asked Hiroshi.
"He...he..."
"He what?"
Shuichi stuttered. He suddenly curled up into a tiny ball. "He kicked me out again!"
Maiko looked at her brother. "Again? How often does he kick you out?"
Shuichi and Hiroshi looked exchanged looks. They looked at Maiko. "A lot." Maiko looked at them with a sweat drop behind her head. "Then you shouldn't act like it's new!"
Meanwhile, Yuki sat away, typing on his laptop, trying to finish a manuscript. Words raced across his mind as he tried to finish the last five pages.
Yuki paused for a second and looked over at his door. He slowly started to type again. Yesterday was still bothering him. His right hand slowly closed, shaking, forming a loosely held fist.
Yuki wanted to give Shuichi that 'yaoi moment' he wanted so badly that day, but didn't. Another thing that was bothering him about the day before was that he couldn't figure out how they got into Yuki's bedroom. (Don't ask; I don't know either.)
Shuichi laid down on the ground. He was at his parent's house. Shuichi's mother peered into the room. She slowly entered. "Shuichi, you seem quite lonely. Are you okay?"
Shuichi just shrugged, looking sad. She went over to him and pat his back. "You should get yourself a girlfriend. You'd be less lonely."
He looked to the side and twitched. His mother had suggested that Shuichi should get a girlfriend many times before. He wanted to shout at her that he was already in love with Yuki Eiri and that they are a couple and he'll never get a girlfriend because he likes boys, not girls! I'm only lonely because I don't think Yuki loves me and kicked me out again. I thought we lived together too...
Maiko entered the silent room as their mother got up and left.
"So, did you tell her?"
"...tell her what?"
"You and Yuki are lovers?"
Shuichi looked at his sister straight in the eye. "No." Shuichi was scared that his parents might get a heart attack from the shock. Shuichi laid on his back. "Hey Sis, do you have any of Yuki's works?"
His sister looked at him, surprised. "Um, h311 yeah!" She exclaimed. "Of course I do. You know, I worship him."
Shuichi looked at her. "So do thousands of other girls."
Maiko smiled and looked at her brother. "And so do you." She looked away. "So many girls would be so jealous if they knew that you two were going out!"
Shuichi looked at his sister and blushed deeply. "Um...they might...also...be jealous...because..."
Maiko walked up to her brother and sat down on the ground. "Because?" She stared at him for a few minutes.
Finally, Shuichi blushed with delight. "Love..." was all Shuichi could say through his spark of happiness. Maiko gave her brother a strange glance before she caught onto what Shuichi was saying. Her eyes opened wide. "Is something wrong?"
Maiko opened her mouth, but nothing came out. They stayed silent for a moments, then Maiko finally spoke up. "That's enough to make girls hate you!" She turned pale. "I c-can't even imagine...that..."
Shuichi looked at his sister, who seemed to be disgusted by his and Yuki's actions. Tears formed in his eyes. "H-homophobic!" shouted Shuichi. Maiko looked at him.
"I'm so sorry!" She said, hugging her weeping brother. "Don't cry! I was just shocked!" Maiko suddenly was in Shuichi's face. "So, tell me more about your lover" Shuichi smirked, ready to brag.
Yuki laid on the couch, puffing away on his cigarette. He just finished his manuscript and was tired. He looked over toward the glass door. On top of the coffee table was a very cute mug. It was Shuichi's. Yuki got up and grabbed the mug.
Maiko and Shuichi walked all the way back to Shuichi's apartment. "Shuichi, I need to go pick up Yuki's latest book. I'll be back in an hour, okay?" Shuichi nodded and Maiko left.
There was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" shouted Shuichi.
"Me! I forgot my purse!"
Shuichi fell over, grabbed Maiko's purse, opened the door and handed it to her.
"Thank you!"
A few seconds later, the door bell rung again.
"Who is it?"
"I'm so sorry Shuichi too bother you again, but do you want me to bring home dinner?"
Shuichi shrugged. "Sure?"
"Okay!"
Once again, the door bell rung. "Who is it?"
"Shuichi, I forgot the house keys on your table."
Shuichi opened the door and threw the keys at her. He was getting mad.
Several minutes later, the door bell rang again. "WHAT!" shouted Shuichi. He stomped over to the door. "Maiko, if you come back here one more---" He stopped talking when he opened the door.
"Err...you forgot your mug."
Shuichi's eyes went wide and starry. "YUKI!" he shouted as he glomped his lover. "C-c-come inside!" He stuttered with joy, getting off of Yuki while motioning his hand to tell Yuki to come in.
"You forgot your mug." Yuki said, holding out the mug.
Shuichi stared at Yuki. Suddenly, he started to smile. "You're lying." Yuki looked at Shuichi. "No." Shuichi walked closer to his boyfriend. "You're lying I live with you now Of course I can 'forget my mug' there."
Yuki put his left arm around Shuichi's back and his right over Shuichi's shoulder. Shuichi blushed. There was no need for words; Shuichi's and Yuki's lips moved together just like a magnet would.
The door knob turned. Suddenly, there was a drop of a bag. "Oops! I'm sorry! I didn't know!" It was Maiko. Shuichi and Yuki stopped kissing, and looked at her.
"Who are you?"
"Maiko!"
Shuichi looked at Yuki. "That's my sister, Maiko."
Yuki and Shuichi looked behind each other and quickly moved apart from each other. They couldn't help but blush. Yuki peered down to the book that was in Maiko's hands. He snatched it from her. He looked at the name. He knew it! It was his newest book.
"Shu-chan, do you have a pen or a marker?" asked Yuki. Shuichi looked at him. "I think so." Shuichi quickly ran into the next room to get one.
Shuichi came back in a matter of seconds, handing the pen to Yuki. Yuki quickly jotted something down on the inside of the book.
He handed it back to Maiko. She opened it. It read: To Shuichi's beautiful sister, Maiko. From Yuki Eiri. She smiled with glee.
Yuki walked up to Shuichi. He put his face really close to Shuichi's and slid his hand into Shuichi's back pocket, making him stand up straight. He grabbed Shuichi's left wrist and forced Shuichi against the wall. "Yu-yu-Yuki?" Shuichi murmured. Yuki took his other hand and used it to hold Shuichi's right wrist against the wall. He licked Shuichi's neck. "Yuki! Don't! Not in front of my sister!"
Maiko stood at the door, with her mouth open. One of the most sexiest and talented writers of love stories had her brother backed against the wall and was playing with him. She turned pale. What...the...h311?
Yuki kissed Shuichi and let go. Shuichi fell to the ground in shock, shaking. "Don't EVER do that again!" shouted Shuichi (who doesn't mean it, just to tell you P) Shuichi got up and walked over to Yuki. "Why'd ya just do that anyway!" Yuki grabbed Shuichi's chin. "Because you looked so cute."
Maiko started to back away, slowly, kind of scared of both her brother and Yuki. "Oh no! I forgot to pick up some food!" Maiko exclaimed. (Note that it's not a lame excuse; she literally forgot the food.) Maiko turned to hurry off and get some, but Yuki stopped her.
"You can come back to mine and Shuichi's house; I'll cook something." Shuichi's eyes glittered at Yuki's response to Maiko leaving. Why? Dude, it's 'cause he gets to go back home with Yuki! Maiko's mouth dropped open once again, and she bowed deeply. "Yes please!"
Shuichi locked up the apartment, and they all made their way down the stairs, Shuichi clamping to Yuki's arm the whole way down and into the car.
Yuki started to drive, but Shuichi didn't let go. "Let go." Shuichi looked up at Yuki. "Why?"
Yuki stopped the car. "Because if you don't, I can't drive." Shuichi let go and slouched in his seat. "Well, I'm sorry." Yuki leaned over and bit Shuichi's ear. Shuichi smiled and shouted, "I LOVE YOU, YUKI!" Maiko laid down in the back seat, in shock of everything she was witnessing.
"...and this is where Yuki and I sleep, unless Yuki is p'oed at me." Shuichi explained, showing his sister around the house. "And where do you sleep when he is?" Shuichi pointed to the couch. "There."
Maiko sniffed the air. "Mmm. What's that smell?" She sniffed the air again. "That smells really good."
Shuichi smiled. "Yuki is a wonderful cook!" Shuichi looked out the glass doors. "He cooks for me like this each time I'm over here." Shuichi looked down and blushed, again. "Actually, we do a lot while I'm here," Shuichi looked at his sister with loneliness in his eyes. "I love Yuki a lot. He teases me, bullies me, he's cold to me. I don't care. I still love him." Shuichi looked up at the ceiling.
Maiko looked at her brother. She touched his shoulder. "He's cold to you? How?" Shuichi looked down. "He just is. He also always in his office, typing away, trying to finish a new story. The only time he has with me is when he's on breaks or when he's finished with the manuscripts. He also said I have zero talent and always tells me the truth."
Maiko asked where the kitchen was and Shuichi showed her to it. Then he left the room. Maiko walked up to Yuki. "Spend more time with him!"
Yuki looked at her. "With Shuichi?" He was putting food onto some plates.
"Yes, with Shuichi." She looked Yuki straight in the eye. "He's lonely. You know, if you don't spend anytime with him...you're going to lose him."
Yuki looked at her with an uncomfortable expression on his face. "Don't say that." He looked back at the food. "Besides, I spend enough time with him." Maiko looked at him. "Doing what?" Yuki smiled. "Make love."
Maiko looked at him. "You guys...seriously...do that, huh?" Maiko walked up to Yuki, with her heart pounding, and slapped him.
"What the h311 was that for!" shouted Yuki at Maiko. Shuichi rushed into the room. "Yuki, Maiko what..." He could see that Maiko and Yuki were mad at each other.
"Spend more time with Shuichi! He's so lonely! Yet, he loves you so much! You don't love him back, do you!"
Yuki looked at her, horrified. "Why would I make love to him if I didn't love him?"
Yuki looked over at Shuichi, who was standing in the door way. "Shuichi," he said. "Are you really lonely?" Shuichi looked down and nodded slowly.
Yuki walked over to Shuichi. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Shuichi looked up into Yuki's eyes. "I wasn't sure if you loved me. You always said I was bothering you. You're always inside your office, working on a new manuscript. We also never do anything couples do."
Yuki felt horrible, but it didn't show. He loved Shuichi more then anything, but his work kept him away from him. "Shuichi..." was the only thing that could come out of his mouth.
Yuki let Maiko stay over to eat. She left shortly after.
Shuichi stood in front of the door way. Yuki grabbed him from behind and shut the door. "Shuichi, I...I love you," whispered Yuki. Yuki started to play with Shuichi's hair. "Don't leave me."
"Why would I ever leave you!" exclaimed Shuichi, grabbing Yuki's collar and kissing him.
Yuki never answered.
