Disclaimer and Author's notes: Chapter three! Wow! Just to think this was going to be a oneshot just that first chapter.
I really want to thank my reviewers:
To my reviewer who reviewed for each of the last two chapters, Guren: Thank you so much for reading this fic and staying with me on all of my grammar and spelling mistakes. Hope you are enjoying the way I have the charries reacting to the tragedy. Thank you for giving me the encouragment to write further onto this story.
Ladyrave: Thank you Thank you Thank you. I am so glad that Stars gets to be your first Shuichi dies fic. Or at least I think that I am glad. In this chappy you will get a glimpse into how Ryu-chan feels about taking over Shu's place. Afterthought wasnt really the feel I was going for but the more I think about it I think it was cause I wanted to show that Eiri is really confused about how everyone fits into his life. He knows the people but he has no clue on his relationship with them.
And to the people who are reading this and not reviewing, thank you for reading and I hope that you are enjoying this. I know I am enjoying writing this fic.
As always Maki Murakami owns Gravitation. Blame it on the Weatherman is by BWitched (am I the only one to actually remember this group?)
Now please excuse me while I plug my other fic Voices of the Lost. It is another Gravi fic with sad undertone starring Suguru Fujisaki (he's adorable) Confusing at first but give it a chance.
The rain poured over pale skin but he didn't mind. It made him feel better. Cleansed. All at the same time his thoughts wandered to the boy who was said to be his lover. 'I don't really remember you, I see your face, yeah. But the emotions are not there.' Eiri sighed feeling tears well up into his golden eyes again.
"Eiri-san."
"Hiroshi-san."
Hiro smiled. "Just Hiro please, Eiri we are not strangers. You visit here alot rain or shine."
"Hn..." Eiri made no eye contact with the other man. He didn't know why but he knew they had quablles and didn't get along.
" Eiri, lets just get along. We have both lost someone really close to us both. I loved Shuichi very much. I know that you did as well." Eiri stared, shocked at the darker eyed man. 'I loved Shuichi?'
"Really?"
Hiro smiled. "Yeah, you loved him."
It's just one more day
No one said there would be rain again
Won't blame it on myself
I'll blame it on the Weatherman.
"It's not your fault. That Shuichi's gone. I know you think it was." Hiro broke the silence that had been between them for a few minutes.
"I was driving Hiro-kun. I crashed my car into that tree." Eiri muttered.
"What?"
"I killed Shuichi."
"No you didn't you were trying to save him."
"Than who's fault is it?" Tears rolled down the novelist's face.
Ryu didn't know what to do. He was in the middle of an epic battle between the President of N-G Records and a one Suguru Fujisaki. He didn't want to be the one to break the family up, just because of this stupod fight.
Get away for a while
Here I am
Out on my own again
Won't blame it on myself
I'll blame it on the Weatherman.
"Na no da, Kuma-chan?" he said clutching the bunny tightly. "Yeah, lets get out of here."
Ryu retreated to the park where he always found inspiration.
"I don't want to sing anymore." He sighed 'Shuichi' "I really loved him. I couldn't do this to him." He leaned against the railing.
"You do know that it is raining, right?"
"Yeah." Ryu replied not bothering to turn around.
"Ryu, it's not your fault, I want you to understand that. And I love you too." At those last words Ryu turned around to find, he was still alone.
Standing at the shore
Calling out your name
I was here before.
The rain never let up not even for a second. For weeks after the vocalist's death the rain continued. Still everyday even through the gray skies of rain, Yuki Eiri continued his daily trips to the place where he felt most at ease. He leaned ontp the railing watching the rain fall onto the water below.
I can see your face
Only coulds will see
Tears in my eyes
You're always in my heart
The water reflected his image back to him.
"Eiri, I've been looking for you. Nakano-san told me you might be here. It's where you and Shuichi went on you guy's first date." The N-G president stepped up behind Yuki and wrapped his arms around the novelist's slim waist.
"Tohma. I don't even remember things that we did together, but I do know now that I miss him. I still can see his face sometimes it's so happy, others it's so sad. I break down crying myself. I don't know what made him so sad." Yuki trembled under Tohma's small arms. Tohma still stood behind Yuki, his aquamarine eyes begining to cry, he looked up into the sky only allowing the clouds to see his weakness. The truth. He was beginning to miss Shuichi too.
