CHAPTER Nine: Attainment
Disclaimer: I do not own anything having to do with Gravitation.
Shuichi rang the doorbell, no one answered. His car wasn't in the driveway. Shuichi kicked the door. "Huh? Oh…" he pulled his keys out of his pocket. He hadn't thrown any of them away, so it should still be on the key ring. He opened the door. "Yuki?" no one answered. "Fuck, man." He walked into his study, he looked at his vacant chair, then down at the empty spot beside it. He sat down in 'his' spot, as his eyes sifted through out the room "He kept everything the same…Every little detail."
The bedroom was the exact same too; his pillow was still on the right side of the bed, a few pairs of his shoes were still by the closet. He smiled, comparing his old shoes with the ones he had on, the size difference was obvious. He glanced up at Eiri's nightstand, and then looked again; the photo that they'd taken at the amusement park had been framed. Shuichi sat on Eiri's side of the bed and picked it up. He studied the photo, 'I used to look so happy back then." He blushed slightly, thinking about the few times they cuddled after making love. He laid down, recalling the warm fuzzy feeling he used to get just laying so close to him. The heat from Eiri's breathing tantalized his senses, it never mattered how tired he was or what time it was, when Shuichi wanted something, he got it.
Shuichi leaned close to Eiri and kissed him softly.
"Go jerk off." Eiri muttered, half sleeping.
"But I want it…" he took Yuki's hand and showed him.
"Shuichi, its 3:30 in the morning…No." he rolled over.
He crawled off the bed to Yuki's side. He pulled down Yuki's pants a little and wrapped his mouth around him. He quickened his pace after about a minute, Yuki groaned. Shuichi loved to please him, and Yuki really enjoyed bjs.
"Mmm, okay -you win." Yuki grabbed him by the hair and jerked him into a kiss.
Shuichi was jerked from the dream world when he heard the door shut and keys drop on a glass table. He heard Yuki sigh.
"Yes I'm sure; he said 'I hate you'. I think that pretty much sums it up."
Yuki paused for a minute.
"No…That was probably the nicest thing he said."
Shuichi frowned, leaning against the wall so Yuki couldn't see him 'Damn… I can't believe I was so mean to him…"
"Of course I do. I always have." He paused again for a second "-That is not true. I thought he knew… But I fucked up. I fucked him up, too." Another brief pause "No. I can't do this anymore. It's just too hard, you'd understand if you saw the way he looks at me."
Yuki's footsteps grew louder, but then stopped at the door "Fine. I'll try to talk to him again. But I'm going to get the exact same reaction."
Tears formed at the corners of Shuichi's eyes as he took a deep breath. He turned and leapt into the hallway, throwing his arms around Yuki's neck and kissed him passionately.
Yuki stood like a stone, not sure if he was real. He ran his fingers through Shuichi's hair. He was real. Yuki tilted head, gripping the back of the young man's neck to deepen their kiss.
"Mister Yuki," Hiro's voice was on Eiri's phone, he was still on the line "are you okay? Helloooo?!?!? Whats going on?!"
Shuichi pulled away breathlessly, taking Eiri's phone "Mission accomplished."
Eiri smiled, leaning closer to the mouthpiece "We'll call you back in about an hour."
Click.
Hiroshi grinned, shaking his head at his phone. "Impeccable timing..." he said aloud. He and Ayaka were getting married next month, and it wouldn't be right if the best man didn't go.
Ayaka walked in the room, "What's so funny, Hiro?"
He wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her forehead "We've got our friend back."
Yay, they're back together and Shuichi's not emo anymore! This chapter was hard to write. Especially since I wanted to keep it short, but I think it works.
