"ooooookay, lets try this again." sigh
"Yuki san, will you read this aloud, to our fans" He glides over and takes the paper. He raises an eyebrow and asks
"Is your mouth broken? Do it your damn self" drops it and walks away. *Palm smack on the head and slides it down face*
"ok, maybe not the best person to ask." i stomp on the paper in a fit of rage. when im done, i sit on it and say tiredly.
"DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GRAVITATION, OR ANY BASSHUNTER OR KESHA SONGS I MAY USE. HOPE YOU ENJOY."
CHAPTER 4
Eiri POV: 8am
I slowly opened my eyes to a dimly lit room, the most wonderful ache in my lower regions and the most delicious aroma of sex, food and coffee. 'Wait...food?' I rolled over to see that my brat was gone. I got out of bed and found a pair of pajama bottoms on the chair next to the bed. I couldn't help the grin that crept up my face.
After putting the pants on, I followed the smell of food into the kitchen to find Shuichi cooking and dancing around to music, semi-softly playing in the backround, wearing nothing but a pair of boxers, his hair tied back at the nape of his neck. I leaned against the wall, enjoying the show, just to jump when he spoke.
"Good morning! Enjoying the show?" he turned and grinned at me, before turning back to the pan of food he was cooking. I came the rest of the way in and leaned against a counter
"You can cook?" I couldn't help but to sound incredulous. Shu just giggled and nodded
"Yup, the Food Channel(do not own) is an amazing thing. Your cigarettes and coffee are on the table. The breakfast will be out in a minute. I hear the view is great too" I smirked and nodded, then headed over to the table. When I sat down I noticed the ashtray, cigarettes, lighter and coffee were in the same place I have them every morning. Smiling softly, I thought to myself 'After all this time, he remembered'
A plate of food was set in front of me and I looked at the most delicious smelling hash browns with egg and sausage. I looked at Shu and he just smiled as he sat down acrossed from me, with his own plate of food.
"Hope you like it. I found that it was one of my favorite dishes in L.A." I took a bite and my eyes rolled back in my head. 'SOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD' I began to eat in earnest after that and before I knew it, the food disappeared. I sat back and sighed, before taking a sip of coffee and lighting a cigarette.
Shuichi POV
I refrained from giggling as Eiri practically inhaled his food. 'Well, glad he likes it' I thought amusedly. When he was done, I got up and grabbed our dishes, before heading back to the kitchen to clean up. When I started the water, one of my favorite songs on my ipod came on and I snagged the remote to turn up the stereo so I could listen while I did the dishes. I couldn't help it and started to sing along, not noticing Eiri standing behind me, listening in, as the song began. (Author note: Dancing with Tears in my Eyes, by Ke$ha)
Here we go,
Welcome to my funeral.
Without you, I dont even have a pulse.
All alone, its dark and cold,
With every move I die.
Here I go,
This is my confessional.
A lost cause,
Nobody can save my soul.
I am so delusional,
With every move I die.
I have destroyed our love, it's gone.
Payback is sick, it's all my fault.
I started to dance with the chorus and continued to sing, still oblivious to the man behind me.
(Chorus)
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losing it
With every move I die.
I'm faded,
I'm broken inside.
I've wasted the love of my life.
I'm losing it,
With every move I die.
When did I become such a hypocrite,
Double life, lies that you caught me in.
Trust me, I'm paying for it, with every move I die.
On the floor, I'm just a zombie,
Who I am is not who I want to be.
I'm such a tragedy,
With every move I die.
I have destroyed our love, it's gone.
Payback is sick, it's all my fault.
(Chorus)
This is it and now your'e really gone this time.
ooh
Never once thought I'd be in peices left behind.
I was so engrossed in the song, that I never noticed the tears running down my lover's face as he listened to me.
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losing it
With every move I die.
I'm faded,
I'm broken inside.
I've wasted the love of my life.
I'm losing it,
With every move I die.
As I began to put the dishes away, I felt arms wrap around me and I jumped, but managed to keep ahold of the dishes.
"Eiri! Hey are you alright?" his face was buried in my shoulder and he just nodded. Sighing, I put the dishes back on the counter and turned around, my arms going around his head.
"Eiri, what is wrong." I reached for the remote and turned the stereo off. He still didn't lift his head, but I felt his tears begin to run down my chest and I started to panic. I manouvered my hand and lifted his chin. Tears were streaming down his beautiful face, and a pained look of helplessnes marred his features. 'What the Hell is going on?' Then it hit me. The song I was just singing probably affected him and I didn't even think about it. Gently, I kissed him and held his head in my hands, as I tried to explain.
"Eiri I-" but was cut off by his lips crushing against mine. The taste of tears and coffee mingling with Eiri's own, unique taste invaded my senses as he plundered my mouth. I closed my eyes and pressed my body closer to his, needing the physical closeness between us. Unfourtunatly, we needed to breathe, and broke apart gasping for air.
Panting, I dragged him over to the couch and threw him down. I climbed over him, effectly pinning him beneath me, staring him straight in the eyes.
"Now you will listen and listen good. Understand?" at his slow nod, I calmed down slightly and continued
"That song was written shortly after I left. I thought I would never get better and by leaving the way I did, I thought I had ruined anything that existed between us." I sighed and pressed my forehead to his. My voice down to a near-whisper.
"That song was an apology, Eiri. I will never forgive myself for leaving you like that. What I did was childish, weak and did nothing but hurt you more than it should have. Thats why I kept that song, even after I healed. I dont deserve your forgiveness, and I will probably keep apologizing till the day I die."
I closed my eyes, trying not to let the tears fall, but abrubtly opened them in shock as I felt his lips ghost over mine. He pulled back and smiled softly and replied
"Baka, there's nothing to forgive. Its true, you should have just told me, but I probably would have done the same. So, just let it go...for me." the emotion was so overwhelming, and I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from my heart.
My lips crashed down on his and I roughly explored his mouth with my own. He responded in kind and as we came up for air, I began to grind my hips against his, moaning as I felt his growing erection against my own. I looked down at his lustful gaze and smirked.
"I will let it go, on one condition." I whispered against his lips
"Let me make it up to you." and with that, I ground our hips together again. Eiri smirked as well and replied in his sexiest voice
"Well, you better get to it. You have alot to make up for, Shuichi. About three years worth." heat immediatly pooled in my stomach and my dick twitched.
I began kissing down his neck, to his pulse point and started sucking and licking. After I left my mark, I slid down his chest, licking and nipping till I found the waistband of his pants. My hands ghosted their way up, till they found his nipples and tweaked them while I licked along his waistline. Eiri let out a strangled cry as my teeth grazed his clothed erection. I brought my hands back down, scraping my nails down his stomach, feeling his shudder as I did so.
I grabbed the elastic of his pants and slowly pulled them down, down, down, till I had them off completely. I made my way back up his legs and sucked on the inside of his thigh. His dick twitched and I relented on my torture a bit as I took his balls in my mouth and sucked lightly, holding down his hips so I wouldn't hurt him if he bucked. I let my tongue trace up the underside of his cock, before taking the head into my mouth. My tongue lightly dug into his slit as I grazed the underside of the head with my teeth, but let my mouth go completely slack as he bucked into my mouth.
I looked up to make sure he was watching me as I took him all the way into my mouth and down my throat. He began panting loudly, as I began bobbing my head up and down. His eyes fluttered closed and I stopped, waiting for him to open them again. When he did, I began to move again, swirling my tongue around. Eiri's hand came down and I felt the tie in my hair being removed. I went down again and sucked on the way back up. A loud moan escaped him and he buried his hand in my hair, pushing my head down as he bucked upwards. I moaned around his length and felt him harden even more.
On the way up this time, I coated him with as much saliva as I could and removed my mouth completely. A breathy whine was cut off suddenly as I slid my boxers off and straddled him. I took his cock and positioned it at my entrance. He looked like he was going to protest, so I impaled myself onto him before he could utter a word. 'That hurt a bit...' I thought as I started to slowly move on him, trying to ease some of the pain, when he bucked suddenly, earning a sharp cry from me and causing me to fall foreward, caging his head with my arms. He glared up at me as I grinned back at him.
"Don't do that again, Brat. I would have been more than happy to prepare you. Couldn't you have waited five minutes?" I only grinned wider and shook my head, making my hair fall in a curtain around our faces. He stared into my eyes and thrust quickly, making me moan. Satisfied, he began thrusting upwards as met him halfway. I began panting harshly as we picked up the pace a little. His long fingers wrapped around my erection and I bit my lip, I wanted to enjoy this for a bit longer.
I pushed myself into the sitting position once more, leaning back just a bit as he thrust, hitting my prostate. I cried out harshly and slammed myself back down again, seeing spots as he started pumping my erection. Instinctivly, I thrust into his hand, making his cock press against my prostate and I yelled his name as I came all over Eiri's hand and chest, the intensity of my orgasm making my whole body shake. I felt hands grip my hips and he thrust into me harshly a couple of times before holding me down and I felt warmth flood my cavity. Eiri moaning my name as he came.
I slumped over his chest, panting heavily. 'My body feels like jello' I thought languidly. I felt arms wrap around me as my lover picked me up, dislodging himself and carrying me into the bathroom. I slid down his body till my feet touched the ground, once we were inside and when the water was running, we climbed in. I took a rag and washed him as he did the same for me, parting only to wash our hair. Once we were rinsed off, we climbed out and I shook my head like a dog, before drying off, earning a glare before Eiri rolled his eyes and did the same.
Once in the bedroom, I went to my bag and pulled out some boxers, socks, South Pole Jeans(author note, do not own) and a longsleeved, black, button up shirt. I towel dried my hair, before brushing and braiding it. After I got dressed, I rummaged through my bag and pulled out my dog tags, before slipping them over my head. I looked over to see Eiri dressed in a pair of black slacks and a longsleeved, blue, button up shirt. I slipped my dogtags under my shirt and at Eiri's raised eyebrow, I sighed and shrugged
"More out of habit than anything. Someone's gotta know my important stuff if something happens to me." He scowled at me for that comment and rolling my eyes inwardly, I tried to placate him.
"Don't worry, I dont plan on dying anytime soon, but it's always a possibility in my line of work. Oh, that reminds me." I went over to my bag and fished out two click pens. I went over and showed them to him. Again, he raised his eyebrow and this time I did roll my eyes. I took one of the pens and clicked the end. A four inch ice pick slid out. I clicked it again and it slid back in. (author note: picture a sharpie retractible pen.)
"I designed these too, they are small, but are useful if you need to buy some time. Or if your really good, just stab it in the main artery in the neck. Anyways, these are for you." I handed them over and he took them warily. I sighed and took one back.
"look, there is a switch on the side, if you pull it down, it locks. See for yourself." I handed it back and watched as he tried it out. I rubbed the back of my neck, and added
"Please keep them on you, I'm pretty much always going to be around, but in case I'm not...well, you get those and this in case of that" I pulled out a case in my pocket and opened it, revealing a small, silver, stud earring, that had a celtic trinity on the surface. Eiri stared at it for a minute before narrowing his eyes at me
"What the hell is this supposed to do? If I dont like what it does i'm not wearing that thing" I narrowed my eyes right back and moved my hair from my ear to show that I was wearing the same one.
"Gee, thanks Eiri. Actually its a transmitter. If you get into trouble, all you have to do is push down on it and mine will send your location to my phone. If you dont like it, put it on your shirt cuff or something, I dont give a damn, but keep it somewhere on you." and I threw the box at him, grabbed my bag and took it out into the living room, mumbling about arrogant, irritating boyfriends.
Once in there, I put on my red converse(dont own) and took my shirt back off to strap the Katana on, leaving the opening at the top undone and putting the handle in my back pocket. I took out all my holsters and started to put blades and my gun in the various holsters. The knife holsters went on my wrists, the gun went on my ankle. My kyoketsu shoge was still in its case so I clipped it to my belt. Once done with that, I moved around a bit to see if they all fit comfortably and wouldn't slide off. Satisfied, I put my shirt back on and turned around to see Eiri, fiddling with the new earring he put in. I sighed and ran my and through my hair, looking at the ceiling.
"Look, I'm sorry about snapping at you, I'm a bit on edge. I have been since I got the profile with YOUR name on it." I sat down on the couch and closed my eyes. When I opened them again, I looked at him helplessly.
"Do you realize how scared I was when I saw your picture there with your name scrawled next to it? I thought I was going to puke. I already know you don't approve of what I do, and to be perfectly honest, neither do I. But what if I wasn't as good as I am, I wouldn't have had the perk of keeping an eye out for missions in Japan. God Eiri, if I hadn't been forced into this job, I never would have seen you again." My eyes started to sting and I pressed on them with my thumb and forefinger, willing them away. I pulled my hand away and saw it was shaking. I just stared at it until it was covered by a pair of larger hands. I looked up to see Eiri squatting in front of me, concern in his eyes.
"Why didn't you leave after you got better?" I laughed dryly and replied
"I had no choice. Once your in, your in for life...unless you can 'convince' them otherwise, thats why I trained so hard to be the best. And even then, your in for life. The difference is, how do I explain it...it's like I would be on call for only the really important, super dangerous missions and I can't say no. They are few and far between but still. There is no way out, Eiri. When I am home in Japan, I am The Shuichi Shindou, pop star and public icon. But as soon as I get a job, I am Aiden Greene again. Can you live with that? Because if not, I dont know what I'm going to do." My voice cracked at the end and Eiri just held me for a moment. When he pulled away he grinned.
"Dont think you can get rid of me that easily, brat. I waited three years for you and I will be damned if anything comes between us now." I smiled back and we hugged again before standing. I grabbed my wallet, ipod, phone, and keys, then turned and grabbed Eiri's hand before we headed out. 'Yeah, things would be ok, they just had to.'
Unknown POV
I opened my phone and dialed a number. After 3 rings a woman answered.
"What? Did Greene show up?" I rolled my eyes but answered respectfully
"Yes Ma'am, yesterday night."
"Then why are you calling me? You do realize it is 3am here right?" grinning at her discomfort I answered
"He was seen with Yuki, they seemed...close"
"Do you think he crossed me? Maybe he is just keeping his cover until the job is done." I sighed before I answered
"I don't know, I am calling to ask what course of action you want me to take." there was a pause before she spoke again
"Send in some of the boys. If he protects Yuki, we will have our answer. If he does, I want you to finish them both." I grinned maliciously
"Affirmitive." and I snapped my phone shut.
'How about some fun, Aiden?'
Shuichi POV
"Have you found anything new yet?" Tohma frowned a bit
"Not yet. It might take a few days." I fiddled with my braid and sighed
"Fine. Will you text if you have anything?" He nodded and I stood up, walking over to the window.
"Is there something else on your mind Shuichi?" the feeling in my gut prompting me to speak up.
"Actually, yeah. I want you covered by at least two capable guards at all times. Rose and K can handle everyone else" I turned to face him, leaning against the glass.
"I know once this chick knows she cant kill me or Eiri, she is going to come after you. At least till I can find her and stop it at the source. I will talk to K and Rose. Eiri will you stay here while I do that?" at their nods, I walked over, kissed Eiri on the forehead and left the room.
Walking down the hall to the studio I spotted the two people I was looking for, walking behind Hiro and Ryu. Rose was talking excitedly about something to K and he was replying, just as animatedly. 'Pfft dont have to be a genius to figure that out' I thought as I caught up with them. Sure enough, they were arguing about which sniper rifle is better, the Remmington MSR, or the Barrett M99. I shook my head and slid myself between them, wrapping my arms around their waists.
"I dont know about you, but I prefer the Barrett M99, its only a single shot, but hey, who needs any more than that right?" I grinned at them and asked micheviously
"So did anyone else have as much fun as I did last night?" and I wiggled my eyes at them. K grinned widely and nodded and Rose blushed furiously. I raised my eyebrow and stopped in front of her.
"Wh-what?" she asked as I looked at her with concern. I knew she was a self proclaimed lesbian because her first boyfriend tried to rape her. I also knew she was still a virgin.
"Are you ok?" I asked seriously. Her eyes dropped the guard around them and she smiled dreamily and nodded.
"Absoluuuutly." I smiled at that, satisfied my friend finally found someone. Suddenly remembering why I was looking for her in the first place, I looked over to see K standing by the wall. Grabbing Rose's hand, I pulled her over to him. Noting my serious face they were instantly alert.
"What" they asked at the same time.
"I need a favor. I need you two to guard everyone." at their questioning glance, I explained everything. From the hit, to my gut telling me that something bad was going to happen soon.
"I just dont want to take the chance. Are you guys ok with that?" they looked at each other for a moment, then back to me and nodded. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and grinned.
"HEY! whats keeping you?" I heard behind me. Turning, I saw my best friends waiting down the hall. I bounced on the balls of my feet and heard an 'oh no' before I took off, running at top speed and jumping. I was caught by Ryu, who twirled me around before setting me on my feet. I turned so I was looking at both of them.
"HI" I chirped, before narrowing my eyes and grinning mischeviously.
"So...have fun last night?" Hiro spewed the soda he was drinking, making me grin even wider, Ryu just smiled softly. My eyes softened and I gave him an understanding smile in return. By then, K and Rose caught up and K was in the midst of patting Hiro's back while he was coughing.
"What the hell did you say to him" I grinned lecherously and K scowled at me.
"You just asked me that, are you implying that I am bad in bed?"
"K, SHUT IT!" Hiro yelled, looking at me frantically. I just rolled my eyes
"Come on, Hiro, I'm your best friend and Im gay. I can figure things out. Its like, super obvious." Hiro just spluttered and K smiled gratefully. I smiled at him and turned to Rose who was currently encircled by Ryu's arms. I winked at him and said I would catch up. And with that, I wandered down to the recording room.
When I got there, I took a breath and opened the door. It was exactly the same as I remembered. I brushed my hand along the keyboard, over Hiro's guitar and finally, over to the mic, sitting in its stand. I picked it up and looked on the bottom. Tears began to form as I saw the S+H+F+R+K+Sa written around the base, coiling up. Then I noticed the +T and I laughed out loud. I had told Tohma that he should add his initial to our list of friends, but he never did. 'I wonder when he did that'
"He did it the day you left." I turned to see Ryuichi leaning against the door and smiled. He walked over to me and pulled my braid, hard.
"Ah! What did I do?" I rubbed the back of my head and looked up at him. He had tears running down his face and I had a flashback of Hiro looking at me the same, exact way almost 3 years ago. I pulled him to me and we fell to our knees. He cried into my shoulder and I cried into his hair.
"I know I said it would wait, but it just cant. You were gone for so long, you left me. We did everything you said in the letter. So why didn't you come back after you were fixed. You didn't even say goodbye to me." a sob escaped him and I held him tighter.
"Im so sorry, Ryu. I would have come home right away. I swear I would have, but my job wont allow me. I cant leave till I get good enough to fight my way out. You gotta believe me, I wanted to come back so bad I thought I was going to die if I didn't see you soon. I didn't say goodbye, because I saw that same expression on Hiro and I dont think I could have left if I would have seen you like that too. Im so soo sorry. Please forgive me, Ryu"
After awhile, his sobs died down to hiccups and I lifted his face to wipe his tears away.
"Please forgive me, I never wanted to hurt anyone. Let alone you." He sniffed and looked me in the eye.
"I will forgive you on one condition." willing to do anything to make it better I nodded.
"Sing one of your new songs for me, Rose let me listen to them and I already have a new favorite. I want to see if you know which one it is." I laughed and nodded again.
"I think I know which one it is" I got up, grabbed the mic and took it over to the keyboard. I situated it to my liking and turned the keyboard on, changing the settings. Ryu went over and turned on the record button on the wall, I looked at him questioningly and he just shrugged.
"I want my song to be recorded." I rolled my eyes, but smiled and said into the mic
"This song is dedicated to my best friend, Ryuichi Sakuma, because its his favorite." His eyes got all sparkly and took kumagoro out of his back pocket, squeezing it close. I closed my eyes and started to play/sing (Author note: All I Ever Wanted, Basshunter)
All I ever wanted,
Was to see you smilin.
I know that I love you,
Oh baby, why don't you see?
All I ever wanted,
Was to see you smilin.
All I ever wanted,
Was to make you mine.
I know that I love you,
Oh baby, why dont you see?
That all I ever wanted,
Was you and me.
All I ever wanted,
Was to see you smilin.
All I ever wanted,
Was to make you mine.
I know that I love you,
Oh baby, why dont you see?
That all I ever wanted,
Was you and me.
I opened my eyes to see Ryu smiling from ear to ear, bouncing his head to the music. I concluded that I got the song right and winked at him. He was getting ready to glomp me when the time "Thankfully" to sing came up again and he settled down to listen to the rest.
Im so alone,
Here on my own.
And Im waiting for you to come.
I want to be,
A part of you.
Think of all the things we could do.
And every day,
You're in my head.
I want to have you in my bed.
You are the one,
You're in my eyes.
All I ever wanted in my life.
All I ever wanted,
Was to see you smilin.
All I ever wanted,
Was to make you mine.
I know that I love you,
Oh baby, why dont you see?
That all I ever wanted,
Was you and me.
All I ever wanted,
Was to see you smilin.
All I ever wanted,
Was to make you mine.
I know that I love you,
Oh baby, why dont you see?
That all I ever wanted,
Was you and me.
I poured all the sparkles I had I had buried for three years, into the music for Ryu. This song was for him after all. As I played I thought to myself 'I wonder if he will sing this for Rose for a proposal, I will ask him after I finish'
All I ever wanted,
Was to see you smilin.
All I ever wanted,
Was to make you mine.
I know that I love you,
Oh baby, why dont you see?
That all I ever wanted,
Was you and me.
All I ever wanted.
Ryu turned off the Record button when the song was over and started dancing around singing my song. I stood up and went over to him, looking for approval. I got it when he got serious again and his tears started anew. He pulled me close to him, and whispered in my ear.
"You got it right Shu chan. Your forgiven. But if you ever do something like that again, I will hunt you down and drag you back myself." I nodded and was about to reply when my phone beeped 3 times. I dug it out and my heart stopped.
"Eiri." My eyes hardened and I looked over to Ryu.
"Go find the others and find somewhere safe to hide out. Do not come out for anything until I text you. Understand" After I got a nod, I was gone. 'Please let me be on time' I prayed as I ran.
AH HAH! FINALLY! im sorry about all the fluff, but i've been trying to get to a point where I can fit in some action...ooooooh i cant wait *rubs hands together and pops fingers*
