Poor Shuichi!
The Next Day….
Shuichi's POV
When Shuichi went to work the next day, he was extremely bright and shiny. No one could take the smile off of his face. Last night had gone perfectly. Yuki and he had done "that" for four hours and then they had both gone to his concert together. Then afterwards, they did "that" again until they couldn't do "that" anymore. He had fallen asleep and woken up in his lover's arms. All in all, nothing could ruin Shuichi's day.
Yuki's POV
Yuki woke up to the telephone ringing. He groaned and reluctantly got out of bed. He was exhausted. He didn't think he had ever had that much sex in his entire life. And it all had been in one night. He hadn't been able to help himself though. Shuichi had been so sexy on stage, that afterwards he had to make sure Shuichi knew exactly who he belonged to.
"Hello?" Yuki said into the phone gruffly. If it was Mika or Tatsuha or his editor, he was going to kill them.
"You must be either very sure of yourself or very stupid, Eiri Yuki," said a rasping voice that had become all too familiar in the past few months. Yuki froze, anger waking him up faster than the strongest coffee.
"What the hell do you want?" Yuki barked into the phone. He was so fed up with this shit. Why couldn't this person leave him alone and get a life?
"You know what I want. I want you away from Shuichi," the voice answered and Yuki could hear the grin that was on the man's face.
"Why?" Yuki asked for the first time. He really didn't know why he hadn't asked before.
"Because I want him for myself, but since you did not leave him last night like you were supposed to, I can see that you will not give him up. Therefore he will die. It may be clichéd of me, but if I cannot have him, no one can," said the voice and then the phone went dead.
Yuki stared at the phone, as if it would give him answers. Fear was making his heart thump painfully in his chest. The man was going to kill Shuichi? No. Yuki wouldn't let that happen. Even if that meant he would have to leave him. Yuki put his head in his hands and cried for the first time in three years.
Shuichi's POV
Shuichi's cell phone started ringing. His eyes lit up as he realized it was Yuki's ringtone.
"Yuki!" Shuichi yelled into the phone, too excited to keep his voice down.
"Meet me for lunch at the top of Tokyo Tower," was the gruff reply before the phone went silent.
Shuichi blinked before jumping in the air, which was accompanied by a fist pump. "Yahoo! Yuki asked me to lunch! Bye!" he yelled, much to the dismay of Hiro and Fujisaki. His voice had gone supersonic on them. He also then proceeded to run out of the studio.
He managed to get to Tokyo Tower in record time. He even scaled the building because he thought the elevator was going to take too long. When he reached the top, he immediately spotted Yuki.
"Yuki!" Shuichi called, an enormous grin on his face. When Yuki turned, however, the grin faded. Shuichi knew the look that was clouding the other man's face. It was the look that Yuki had had when they first met. The angry, closed off face.
"Yuki?" Shuichi asked, unsure why that look was back. He couldn't recall doing something to make the novelist mad.
"We're over, Shuichi. I don't want to be with you anymore. Don't try to get me back again. It won't work," Yuki said, causing Shuichi to take step back. Why was he saying this? They had been through so much together and Yuki had pretty much confessed his love to him last night. He might not have said the words, but Shuichi had known.
"What?" was the only word that Shuichi could manage to say. Tears began to form and he knew it wouldn't be long before they spilled over.
"You heard what I said. We're done. I've found someone new," Yuki said and that did it. Shuichi dropped to the ground, tears flowing freely down his cheeks.
Yuki's POV
He hated seeing Shuichi like this, but he didn't know what else to do. He didn't want Shuichi to get hurt because of him. Even though this was hurting him, at least he would live. All he wanted to do was to go to the younger man and put his arms around him, but it was too dangerous. Yuki would not allow someone else to lose their life because of him.
"Who?" Shuichi asked in a whisper, not bothering to look up him.
"Ryuichi Sakuma," Yuki said before he could stop himself. He didn't know why that had been the name to pop into his head, but he would stick to it now that he had said it.
"S-Sakuma-san?" Shuichi asked and this time he did look up. Confusion was shining through his violet eyes. He stood up, walking toward Yuki.
"You're lying. Sakuma-san wouldn't be with you," Shuichi said and Yuki mentally slapped himself. He had forgotten that the other man was in love with Shuichi. How he had forgotten, he wasn't sure. Ryuichi Sakuma was his biggest rival in love, after all. Maybe it was because he knew that Shuichi wouldn't leave him.
"Ryu never loved you. He only said that to get closer to me," Yuki said, lying through his teeth. Shuichi took another step toward him. Yuki needed to take a step back, but he couldn't. He needed to stand his ground if he was going to pull this lie off.
"I don't believe you," Shuichi said and took another step. Yuki did the only thing he could think of. He hit Shuichi for the first time in three years.
