The next few days went by slowly. With Yuki's help, Shuichi gradually got better. Four days later, things went back to normal, or as normal as it got. Shuichi still had something on his mind, but he became happier everyday. Usually, when Shuichi got home for work, he would get the mail. So, like always, he opened the mailbox and grabbed the letters. As he walked into the apartment, he saw a one addressed to him. Putting it in his pocket for later, he went to take the rest of the mail to Yuki. While Yuki looked through his mail, Shuichi took out the letter. It had no information on who sent it, making him a little uneasy. He opened it. Staring in shock at what the letter held, he quickly stuffed it back in a pocket. Yuki watched the movement with a questioning look.
" Who sent the letter?" Shuichi just stared in shock, not noticing Yuki's question. He slowly got up and went into the bedroom. Yuki followed. He knew that look. Shuichi had that look when he got sick. Walking into the bedroom, he saw Shuichi putting the letter in the top dresser drawer. That's when Yuki started thinking. ' Recently, he's been afraid of the dresser, but he's putting the letter in there. Why? Is Shuichi hiding something else in there? It's about time I found out.'
Yuki walked up behind the still shocked Shuichi, looking over his shoulder. He could see him holding two letters. Thinking quickly, he grabbed them, making Shuichi snap out of his shock.
" Give those back, Yuki!" Shuichi practically yelled. Before Shuichi could snatch them back, Yuki sprinted into the bathroom, locking the door behind him. Leaning against the door, he took the older letter and started reading it. Once done, concern etched his expression. Swiftly, he read the newer letter, more concern showing. After stuffing the letters back in the envelopes, he opened the door to find Shuichi, sitting against the wall, crying. Just then, he looked up, tears streaming down his face.
" Yuki, I didn't want you to know."
" You should have told me. What were you thinking, you damn brat?" Instead of hearing harsh words, Shuichi heard calm and gentle ones. Yuki turned his head, looking straight at Shuichi. Concern, anger, and worry. That's what Shuichi saw in Yuki's eyes.
" I didn't want anybody to get hurt. When I got the first letter, I told myself I wouldn't get anyone else involved, but now," he turned his head away from Yuki's gold eyes.
" You should have told someone when you got the first letter. You should have told me." He bent down and hugged Shuichi. " Don't worry. I'll protect you. Your friends will protect you. We'll all protect you." He helped Shuichi up and led him over to the couch. Smiling, Yuki asked, " So, what do you want to eat, damn brat?"
" Whatever you want," he replied, smiling back.
" Let's go out to eat. How about a sushi bar?"
" That would be great! Let's get ready!" Shuichi grabbed Yuki's hand and led him into the bedroom. While changing, Yuki thought. ' Well, at least he's a lot happier. When I find whoever typed those notes, I'll make sure they'll never be able to type again.' Soon, they found themselves in the car, driving to a sushi bar.
An hour later, they finished eating. After paying for their meal, they left. A comfortable silence filled the car. When they got home, there was still silence. So, once in bed, Yuki asked, " Shuichi, do you know who sent the letter?" Shuichi thought about it, and couldn't come up with anyone.
" In high school, I wasn't very popular. I did get along with everyone, though, even if they didn't get along with me. So, I can't really think of anyone who would want to hurt me. Also, Hiro and I entered some band competitions, and we always won. Everyone we defeated congratulated us, and didn't hold anything against us. Except, this one band took it really hard. I don't know why. They kept glaring at us while they walked away. Maybe it had to do with the money we won. Of course, Hiro and I never kept the money. We always gave it away to homeless shelters and charities. I haven't seen any of them since that day, so they probably don't have anything to do with this."
" We can't rule them out yet. Hopefully, the person behind this will get caught without anyone, especially you, getting hurt. Lets go to bed now. Goodnight."
" 'Night, Yuki." He snuggled into Yuki's chest, while Yuki put his arms around him, the letters forgotten for now.
Somewhere unknown, a light flickered in a dark room. A man sat in a wooden chair, smirking. " It is almost time… Shindou." Evil laughter filled the room, and then the light went out.
Okay, here's the second chapter. I feel like it's better than the first. Please review and thank you for reading! If you look below, you will see what letters one and two said.
Letter 1: Blood and death. They are the two things that I want to see most. I want revenge. I want to see your blood everywhere while you die. You'll pay.
Letter 2: Soon. Soon I will get my wish. Soon your blood will spill as I watch you die. Nothing will get in my way of taking your life.
