Yes…but I'm going to try my best and keep going…try and fix things up so it looks better…sounds better…is the same story, but of just higher quality…that's my plan anyway. Let's hope it turns out that.

Chapter 1: Disaster Break Up

"Hey Yuki?" Shuichi asked somewhat quietly as he leaned up against the wall of Yuki's study. He wanted to know hwy Ayaka had been on the answering machine accepting Yuki's invitation to dinner that very night, Shuichi's birthday. He'd tried to convince himself that it was just a mistake. Yuki had innocently forgotten his birthday again due to the amount of work he'd been doing the past week. He was sure that if he just explained to his boyfriend that tonight was his birthday the novelist would change dates with Ayaka and everything would be just fine.

"What?" Yuki asked emotionlessly. He was of course shocked when he turned around to face Shuichi head on only to see nothing.

'I can do this,' Shuichi told himself as he took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the ceiling. He knew he had to be hopeful, to let himself keep beliving that Yuki hadj ust over looked the date and the month.

"Did…did you ask Ayaka out on a date for tonight?" He closed his eyes tightly fearing the answer that he was about to hear. Despite his attempts to keep his hopes up, there'd been a constant nagging at the back of his mind telling him something was wrong, perhaps Yuki was mad at him again?

"Yuki," Yuki replied as he turned his chair back to the computer. It was obvious that he was in one of his 'don't bug me unless it's important,' moods.

"Oh…" Shuichi's voice trailed off and his gaze dropped from the ceiling to the floor. He didn't want to believe it, but what choice did he really have? He could only turn Yuki's words around so much, but there was still a small sliver of hope, a chance Yuki meant no more harm than he usually did. If this was just all a big misunderstanding, if Yuki had just forgotten his birthday…

"By the way, I want all of your things packed and gone by tomorrow. I don't need someone like you driving me into the ground." If he hadn't been prepared, Shuichi would have had a much bigger reaction then a wince, but he'd been warned hours before. The problem was Shuichi hadn't wanted to believe it at all, had wanted to think that Tohma's 'advice' had been some kind of sick joke.

"Right…" The singer grabbed his book bag holding back his tears and looked at the back of Yuki's head one last time. IF Tohma hadn't threatened to move Yuki to New York, he probably wouldn't have been able to remain as calm as he was at the moment. Even so, he couldn't, didn't want to believe that this was happening to him yet again.

At the very least he'd managed to take precautions so he wouldn't have to stay at a hotel or bother anyone this time. Having actually thought things through for once, Shuichi had been renting an apartment on the other side of town for months just in case Yuki decide to throw him out again, like now.

His plan as well to guilt trip Yuki had been crushed. He'd thought by removing most of his things from Yuki's apartment before he even asked would make the writer feel bad, however it didn't even look like the novelist had noticed despite the fact, that Yuki's apartment was missing half of its things. Shuichi couldn't believe anyone could be that dense and so took it that Yuki was just glad that he'd begun moving out early.

"Sorry I bothered your life," Shuichi said as he grabbed his book bag from the hallway. The only thing keeping him going were Hiro's words from a few hours ago, words of encouragement that he'd received after he'd told Hiro what was going on. They gave him the strength to keep himself talking so he wouldn't break down in front of the writer. "I just thought I might be able to be your lover since I love you. Obviously though, it only means I get to play the role of your slut until Tohma tells me to go home!" Gritting his teeth he slammed the door to Yuki's office and then to the apartment when he got to it.

(X)

Wincing at the sound of the door slamming shut Yuki finally turned around from his computer screen. Upon leaving his office he looked around shocked that half of the things -Shu's things- were missing from his apartment already. This struck the author as odd given that the singer had stormed out quickly and only with his book bag.

"Better this way anyway," Yuki muttered turning away from the door and heading into his bedroom to change. He did have a date after all,

(X)

"YOU FUCKIN BASTARD!" Shuichi screamed out when he finally made it halfway down the street from Yuki's apartment. He'd hoped after screaming those words and acting angry would have gotten Yuki's attention, would have made him realize that listening to Tohma like this was stupid, but in the end his plan had failed horribly. He had already known in the end that Yuki wouldn't fall for such a stupid trick, yet he'd still wanted to attempt it. "Why couldn't he have just left me alone after he scared me into the hospital?!" Shuichi demanded, but of course there was no one around to answer, merely the dark night and solitude that was bound to follow. Not wanting to deal with said isolation, Shuichi decided to head to his best friend's apartment instead. He was sure that Hiro would be able to take his mind off Yuki like all the other times.

"HIRO!! Yuki and I broke up again!!" Shuichi whined from outside Hiro's door. "And this time he made me take all my stuff with!" As if just realizing the gravity of this statement he let out a loud sob and burst into tears. Hiro merely frowned at this leaning against his doorframe. He obviously didn't understand how serious the situation was as the singer knew it was.

"Just go back and tell him you're sorry," he sai plainly. Shuichi instantly went into super hyper cry mode and latched onto Hiro's arm tightly.

"I Can'te! H, HE!! HE HAS A DATE TONIGHT!" Hiro merely tilted his head lifting his free hand to his chin and rubbing it.

"Wow, he didn't wait long to replace you, did he?"

"HIIIRROOO!!"

"He say who?" The guitarist asked finally looking somewhat interested. Shuichi sniffed and nodded wiping a few tears away.

"A, Ayaka!!"

"Ayaka?" Hiro asked going silent. Shuichi watched him pale, twitch, open his mouth, close it, grab Shuichi's arm and narrow his eyes. "Where did they go?!"

"Umm. That one restaurant with the old Japanese setting, but western tables."

Hiro gave a swift nod and headed in the direction of the restaurant dragging Shuichi with him.

"Let's go catch us some dates."

So the two of them began their courageous journey to the restaurant in order to confront the two people who they'd thought they would share the rest of their lives with, or at least spy on them. Halfway there, they happened to run into K who gladly joined their party against Hiro's protests.

Finally arriving, they entered the old style restaurant with rice paper walls, decorated in ink paintings, and yet sat people in tables and in booths. All three of them were in disguises even Shu wouldn't have thought of.

Acting as the mother, K was now wearing to Shuichi's horror a short blue dress, his hair still up in its usual pony tail, blue nails, lipstick, eye shadow, blush, and a blue silk dragon purse containing his gun and a button for instant mass city destruction.

Hiro of course was to play the dead of the group, his hair pinned up and a wig over it so his hair looked shorter than it was not to mention black, fake glasses and to top it all off a business suit.

This left Shuichi, who was now dressed up as a young girl. Forced into a Tokyo elementary school girl uniform and a long brown wig with brown contacts, he was to act as the mute child of this odd couple. He'd protested this the entire way from the clothes store to the restaurant, but the other two agreed he'd just make a scene if he wasn't playing a mute.

They waited a few moments to be seated, K demanding a large booth near Yuki and Ayaka's table regardless of the waitress' protests, at least until she heard that their daughter was a mute and wanted to still near Eiri Yuki. Yuki and Ayaka of course paid no heed to the supposedly normal family and its mute child.

"Eiri-san, why did you break up with Shindou-san again? You both look so cute together and you told me yourself you loved him." Shuichi was ecstatic hearing this, especially since it was coming from Ayaka and did a small victory dance in the booth earning him more than a few odd looks from the other costumers, and a hit in the head with a purse by K.

"Because he--"

"Are those your words?" She asked frowning. "Or Tohma-san's?" Yuki of course had nothing to stay to this, so remained silent and turned his attention to the nearest window. "As I thought. Eiri-san! You have to stop hurting Shindou-san You can't just keep allowing him back into your life just to push him back out!" She said harshly.

Shuichi found himself liking Ayaka more and more even second.

"I called you for a date, not to get lectured about my love life," Yuki said in his usual arrogant manner.

"Then you wasted both our times. I'm already seeing someone from my school," she replied just as coldly as Yuki had. This answer seemed to shock everyone and Shuichi found himself slowly turning to Hiro, who looked like he was going to impale himself with his chopsticks. Shuichi was well aware of Hiro and Ayaka's relationship, the two had been seeing each other for a few months now, but recently Hiro had been having trouble getting a hold of the girl .Now it was clear to all of them why. Shuichi turned around again to see Yuki's reaction. The novelist seemed to be glaring for all that he was worth.

"Fine, go ahead and do what you want."

"You're blaming this on me and it's not my fault. You love Shindou-san and still you're allowing Tohma-san to keep breaking you up." The Kyokto beauty stood up from her chair and grabbed her coat. "You're a very sad person Eiri-san." That said she walked out of the restaurant. Yuki sat there his gaze locked on the door before he propped his elbows up on the table and dropped his head into his hands.

Shuichi wasn't sure of what to do, but wanting desperately to go comfort Yuki on the top of his list, he turned to Hiro to give him huge puppy eyes and beg, only to meet the top of Hiro's head. The guitarist had broken down into tears now as everything sank in. Shu didn't have the heart to leave his friend then, this entire thing being his fault.

"Sorry, dad," Shuichi said quickly only to freeze and go pale as the waitress walked over to the table frowning.

"I thought your daughter was mute," the waitress said her expression fast turning from a frown to a glare. K must have saw where the statement was leading, because he quickly jumped in.

"She is! She has a small tape recorder with simple, every day sentences, like sorry, thank you, and things like that! The newest craze among mutes!" Both Hiro and Shuichi looked at K, neither believing the stupidity of the answer. Shuichi was expecting to be thrown out, but the waitress happened to be a complete moron.

"Oh!! I'm so sorry! I had no idea! What would you like to eat?" She asked in an overly excited tone.

"It's okay, happens all the time. She's used to it." Shuichi just stared at K like he was mad, which he of course knew he very well was. "My husband has had a very hard day. His father just died," K said quickly on cue Hiro started to sob harder.

"Lucky Guy," Shuichi heard Yuki say before he stood up and walked over to the front counter and paid for the meals neither he nor Ayaka had touched.

"I'm so sorry for bothering you. I think we're going to pick up some bento and go straight home." K nodded sharply to Shuichi and the two grabbed Hiro and quickly dragged him out of the restaurant hoping not to cause anymore of a scene than they already had. The second they were outside, Hiro ripped the wig off and through it onto the ground.

"How could she!?" he screamed resting his head against the side of the building. There was no one of course to give him an answer, but before Shuichi could do anything, K was beside him, his arm around Hiro's shoulder.

"Hey come on! Cheer up, you're a great guy! You'll be able to find a girlfriend no problem!" He said cheerfully. Hiro gave him a look saying he was nuts, not that K seemed to notice.

"I really liked Ayaka. I thought she was going to be the one," he muttered looking down. This action actually caused K to drop his grin and he let out a sigh.

"Well than! We--"

"Consider yourself lucky." The whole group froze and turned to the source of the voice. Standing a few feet from the restaurant door was Yuki, smirking, a cigarette in hand.

"What do you want?" Hiro demanded coldly, this making Yuki's smirk grow.

"Doesn't seem like you have much room to talk," he said taking a drag from the cigarette.

"They're my cousins, this is Keira and her sister Tsukasa," he growled.

"Funny, could have sword I heard wife and daughter in the restaurant, but hey. I always knew that punk had weird tastes in friends, I mean come on," he said. Having heard Yuki talk so much, no doubt a tactic to buy time since Shuichi could tell he didn't want to be left alone right now, Shu completely gave in and ran over to the novelist latching onto him tightly. "What the hell?!" Yuki asked alarmed, dropping his cigarette onto Shu's wig and looking to Hiroshi. Shuichi quickly knocked the cigarette out of the wig and stomped it out.

"Sorry, she's a big Yuki fan," he said smirking himself now, but the singer could still see some tears in his eyes.

"Her parents let her read my books? How old is she, 12?"

"She reads mine," K put in quickly. "I just happen to have heard the stories about you. I know better than to latch onto cold heartless bastards that trade their lovers in for a good image." Yuki's gaze shifted from Hiro to K slowly giving K one of his most famous death glares. K, however, already insane to begin with didn't back down an inch.

"What does some transvestite know?" Yuki demanded catching all three of them off guard, but K as always was quick to recover.

"I know Shuichi called Hiro's apartment before we left telling us everything before saying something about going to Taki Aizawa's, since no one else would comfort him," he said with a cat grin. "They were going to some gay bar. We've been out looking for him until your date time so we could corner Ayaka." Shuichi fel tYuki's body flinch and would have done something if he himself hadn't been in so much shock. How K ever came up with these plans was beyond him. As such he was thrown into even more shock when Hiro joined in.

"I tired to talk him out of it…but he just kept saying how worthless he felt." He turned his own deadly glare at Yuki now. "He said he didn't want to be considered a whore, so the only other person he could be with is Taki since he went and raped him. This is all your fault!" Hiro screamed his fist hitting the building wall. This was obviously the guitarists way of venting form Ayaka's dumping him. "We try and try…but no one ever cares! Shu and I, we've been together a long time…if I'd had it my way, he'd have fallen in love with me!" He screamed tears pouring down his cheeks again. "But it's okay…because even if I can't do anything, Ryuichi can. IF you turn away to long and keep listening to Tohma, Shuichi won't be there for you when you conveniently need a fuck!"

Shuichi didn't know what to say, but he did slowly let go of Yuki and walk back over to the other two. What Hiro had said, no doubt something his friend had wanted to say for awhile given the length of the lecture, was al completely true. Yuki was constantly breaking up with him and every time he did it felt to Shuichi like he was dying.

Yuki merely stood there taking it all in silently as he usually did, something that made Shuichi want to run back over and comfort the novelist, but K noticed this and grabbed the back of his uniform. Yuki however didn't seem to be showing any signs of remorse or worry, rather to Shuichi it seemed like he was going to started laughing. Enraged, Shuichi ripped his schoolgirl uniform out of K's grip and stormed down the street. Hiro shook his head and followed, K tagging along seconds later.

(X)

Yuki however who was still standing by the restaurant entrance was staring at the near by vending machine, which contained the daily newspaper. The headline just happened to read "Taki Aizawa arrested for Rape and attempted murder.' No one had touched Shuichi, or so he was thinking until he remembered Hiro's warning about Ryuichi. Glaring he turned his attention to the retreating forms.

"Damnit!"

(X)

"Girls just want to have fun!!" Shuichi screamed into the mic drunk out of his mind. Hiro and Shuichi being heart broken and K just bored, the three had left the restaurant and headed straight to a karaoke bar. 'Some birthday this is turning out to be,' he thought to himself with a sigh. Yuki had dumped him, he had been the cause of Hiro finding out horrible news, he was drunk out of his mind and he was singing karaoke at some ungodly hour with Hiro and K Much fun indeed.

"Okay! What song do you want to do now Shuichi?" Hiro asked just about as drunk as Shu was. He curiously blinked when he dropped his mic, looked at K and laughed.

"I say we do something new! Something upbeat…like….Hamtaro!"

"Great idea!" Hiro started moving to Shuichi's other side to switch the song only to almost go head first off the stage. K caught Hiro only to fall off with him, both laughing loudly after they hit the floor. Hiro had managed to start the song though, only it wasn't the one Shu had requested. The music began playing, his mind starting to clear.

You look so fine

I want to break your heart

And give you mine

Shuichi's good mood began to diminish at a fast pace, this was honestly one of the last songs he needed to hear since this was the one he had begun to associate his relationship with Yuki. The words just seemed to fall into place perfectly especially when Yuki was mad at him. As such, he held the mic up and started singing along.

"You're taking me over, it's so insane, You've got me…tethered and chained. I hear your name….and I'm falling over…" He did a small spin on the stage, Hiro and K watching from the floor. Their mind seemed to be clearing as well, the looks on their faces going from insane to serious and worried. "I'm not like all the other girls! I can't take it like the other girls! I won't share it like the other girls that you used to know…" Shuichi heard Hiro curse then, but it was okay. He could use the song as a way to let out his stress. "You look so fine."

"Hey, let's go somewhere else," Hiro tried getting looks from the other two. K shrugged helplessly at him, Shu still singing.

"Just let him get it out of his system." K said sitting down at the small table in front of the stage and taking out another beer.

"Knocked down, cried out, been down just to find out…I'm through…Bleeding for you…"

The song had ended some time ago, yet the words remained playing through Shuichi's mind. He was currently walking down the sidewalk alone, back to his apartment having already split with Hiro and K after they'd finished at the karaoke bar.

I'm open wide

I want to take you home

We'll waste some time

You're the only one for me

"Yuki…" Shuichi frowned upon seeing Yuki's apartment. He was still going to be forced to pass it every day to get to his own apartment. Growling he kicked an empty can down the street as hard as he could. This had without a doubt been the worst birthday he'd ever had.

You look so fine

Shuichi's eyes snapped open in horror as he stopped dead in his tracks. Stanidng in front of the apartment complex was Yuki and some girl he'd never seen before in his life. There was a small conversation and then Yuki started kissing the girl.

I'm like the desert tonight

Leave her behind

Looking away from the apartment he slowly starting making his way to his own again. He couldn't believe how stupid he'd been. Yuki had no doubt never even given Shuichi a second thought, it was more than obvious now that he was looking at things from a distance. Shuichi was no longer, probably never, needed in the life of Eiri Yuki.

I'm not like all the other girls

I won't take it like the other girls

I won't fake it like the other girls

That you used to know…

Shuichi took in some deep breaths while passing Yuki's home. Though in the entrance, Yuki didn't even seem to notice him passing by. Wincing at the hurt that flooded through him he stopped just as he passed by. He was about to screaming something, but he decided against it. What was the point? Yuki had already chosen his path.

You're taking me over

Over and over

I'm falling over

Over and over

Shuichi unlocked the door to his apartment and staggered in. Glaring he slammed the door shut, proceeding to shove a bunch of boxes out of the way so he could make it to his couch. One box fell over, an enlarged picture of their photo club print falling out onto the floor. Sitting down on the couch he lifted the picture up.

You're taking me over…

Drown in me one more time

"Yuki…why do you always end up hating me so much…? Why do you trust Tohma over me? What did I do?"

Hide inside me tonight

Do what you want to do

Just pretend Happy end

Let me know let it show

Shuichi stood up holding the picture tightly in his hand while he stripped down to his normal t-shirt and boxer look for bed. Having nothing else to do and no one to talk to he left his cell phone in his pants and walked over to his futon falling down on top of it.

Ending with letting go

Ending with letting go

Ending with letting go

Lying there, Shuichi allowed his finger to trace over the picture a few times before allowing himself to kiss Yuki gently and put it down on the floor next to the futon. He grabbed his blanket and pulling it up closely in an attempt to stay warn. He did eventually fall asleep, but even his happy dreams couldn't hold back his tears caused by reality.

Let's pretend, happy end

Let's pretend, happy end

(X)

Yuki groaned a bit sitting up in bed and resting his head in his hand. He refused to look at the girl in bed next to him, wished for once that he'd ignored Tohma, and hadn't let things go so wrong. He missed Shuichi and begin with this girl only made him want the red headed idiot back even more.

"What did I do?" he muttered grabbing his cell phone. He hoped that maybe the idiot had tried to call, text, anything, but there was nothing. Angered, he threw the phone across the room and laid back down. "Shuichi…" he said in a lower whisper, but the name fell on deaf ears and faded into the darkness.

Let's pretend, happy end

Let's pretend, happy end

(TBC)

Alright! Rewrite of chapter 1, COMPLETE! Hell yeah. That feels good…only about 4000 more chapters to fix up when you consider all the other fanfics…and yeah. Eh this is going to take a while. I'd say yay summer, tons of time to work, but my college doesn't give you summer breaks, so…yeah.
