Chapter # 3: Phone Call
Another day. Another boring day with Suguru. God I was getting sick of him.
"Eiri?"
"What?" I growled, typing at my laptop even faster then before.
"What are you working on?"
I looked at him like he was an idiot.
"I'm a famous novelist…What the hell do you think I'm working on?"
"A novel…So…Why does it say 'Shuichi' in it?"
I froze and stared at the screen.
"Damnit." I muttered.
"You miss him, don't you?"
I don't answer and yet that seems to answer his question. He sighs and doesn't speak for a moment,
"Eiri…It's over…You and me are done alright?"
"Whatever." I said as I continued typing away. My wishes were coming true. Suguru was leaving…My novel was coming along quite nicely, despite the fact that it read 'Shuichi' instead of the proper name. The only thing bothering me now? Shuichi was still with Tohma.
As if on cue, his phone rang.
"Suguru and you broke up Eiri-san? Might I ask why?"
"Because you cousin's a loser." I stated simply.
"Well, I hope you realize that Shuichi will not come back to you, just because you are single again…"
"…"
"That's what you were thinking Eiri-san? You're sadly mistaken…"
(Switching to Shuichi's POV)
I got up and out of bed and walked into the living room.
"Tohma? Who are you calling so late?"
"I'm sorry Shu-chan…Did I wake you up?"
I yawned, rubbing at my eyes lightly,
"It's ok…I'm used to it by now…"
He gestured for me to come sit by him and I walked over, lying out on the couch, my head rested in his lap.
"Yes, he's right here…He's very tired though…I don't think he's ready to speak to you right now in his current state, he just got up…"
"Who is it?"
"It's Eiri-san."
I groaned, really not wanting to talk to him,
"What's he want?"
"To talk to you."
I held out my hand for the phone, Tohma handed it to me.
"What?" I said into the phone.
"Shu…God I'm sorry for what happened with me and Suguru…I really am…"
"I'm not coming back to you just because you apologized Yuki…I'm…I'm happy, here with Tohma…He's really nice to me…"
"I was nice to you!"
"Only sometimes."
"I'm sorry…I wish it had never happened…Then I wouldn't have to be alone…"
"I can't change that Yuki, sorry…I need to go to bed now, ok? I'm sleepy…Goodnight Yuki."
"Night Shu."
"Have sweet dreams, ok? That'll cheer you up a bit…That's what Ryu-chan always says to me."
"Thanks Shu…You have sweet dreams too."
"Bye."
"Bye."
He hung up so I hit the "end" button on the phone.
"Can I go back to bed now Tohma?"
"Yes, of course you can…"
I sat up and faced him,
"Good night…I love you…"
"I love you too Shu-chan," he said placing a hand on my cheek and leaning his head down to mine. His lips were soft and brushed against mine gently. I loved him so much. He was my everything. That much I knew would never change.
…
Would it?
