Solemnity
Disclaimer: I don't own the character…I wish I did though.
Rain poured from the gray sky above as the casket which held Shuichi lowered into the ground. He knew that the people around him were speaking, trying to comfort him but their voices didn't carry.
Hiroshi Nakano stood beside his now pregnant wife, Ayaka, with tears in his eyes. His long hair was pulled back and away from his face.
Eiri could not look at him, too many memories...his eyes drifted to Suguru. How the boy once disliked Shuichi cried for him at that moment.
"Shu-chan…"
Ryuichi Sakuma was dressed in a dark suit, he was crying and not carrying around Kumagoro…he was not childish at the moment, only sad and Yuki wanted to comfort him.
"I can't take this." Yuki said pulling away from the familiar group of faces. He walked past Tohma and his sister, past Tatsuha, past Shuichi's mother and father, past K.
He couldn't handle this, it was all too much.
"I can't do this…it's too much."
He had walked blindly deeper into the cemetery, crying as the rain began to fall harder on him. He didn't care.
His legs finally gave way after hours of pacing as he noticed where he was, this time however there was no one there with him. He could tell it was dark as the stars began to shine in the sky beautifully.
He was back at Shuichi's grave.
"Oh God…" He said touching the head stone. "No…this has to be some joke. Not this, damn it…God Damn it! No, not Shuichi!" He fell on his knees, his hands on the cold wet ground, digging into the grass and dirt. "Why not me? Don't I disserve to die? Don' I disserve to be the one in the ground, rotting?"
Suddenly he stood, his eyes facing the magnificent stars and moon. His eyes narrowed.
"No…not a beautiful night, don't give me that! Not stars, don't show me stars not after you took mine! Damn it!"
He held his face in his big hand.
"Damn it…why show me stars when you took my star away? Why let them shine at all when you killed the brightest one?" He asked himself, asked God, asked anyone who would listen.
He never expected to get an answer back however.
"He was my star too."
Golden eyes opened wide, Yuki flung his head back and stared into eyes so like his Shuichi's and yet so very different. Her hair was light like his, not pink yet the style was the same only longer. Obviously a woman yet her body type was the same as Shuichi's had been.
Violet eyes starred into gold.
"Mr. Yuki…Eiri…" She said as unshed tears fell and she flung into his arms a weeping mess. "Shu…he always loved you…" She began babbling. "He regretted hurting you, he missed you so much…I miss him so much!"
He held her, standing there in front of his lovers grave.
In front of her brother's grave…
Both loved him more then anyone and they held one another, trying to heal…
She needed to know why her brother loved him so much so that she could understand him better…understand how her brother could love someone so much that caused him pain.
He needed to be near her, to look into eyes that looked so much like ones he took for granted.
They would find solace in each other…
