Summary: They always stuck together through thick and thin, the good times and the bad. All different personalities, but they share one thing in common: love can't be masked and gave up on by admitting human frailty...rather by following what their heart says, not their heads.

Chapter 9:
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing
Shuichi opened his eyes slowly, the ring growing louder in his ears. He looked around the room to find himself on his bed in his dorm. He figured Yuki must have brought him there and he fell asleep soon after that. He looked to find his cell phone lying beside him near his head. He lifted himself on his elbows and took the phone in his hands to see who was calling him.
It showed an unknown number.
Feeling giddy he opened the phone and slowly put it to his ear.
"H-hello?"
"Shuichi?"
"Ryuichi? What time is?"
"I know it's late, but I have to talk to you."
"About what?"
Shuichi was getting annoyed. What in the world did Sakuma want in the middle of the night?
"It's about Kai. I know him, and I know him well."
Shuichi felt his chest twist in an uncomfortable way. He wanted to throw the phone down, but he thought against it.
"You see, Shuichi...I'm a relative of Kai's. A close relative."
"Okay..." That didn't really make things any clearer.
"I'm his brother."
"His brother?!"
"Yeah..."
Shuichi felt light headed. The Sakuma Ryuichi was brother's with the sick maniac Kai? What was the world coming to?
"Shuichi, I'll make sure he doesn't bother you anymore. For such a long time I have been kept in the dark about who it was that Kai had under his wing. He would come home sometimes and talk about some kid being his 'pidgeon'. I had no idea that the kid would be you."
Shuichi buried his head in his pillow. Sakuma seemed like such a nice guy... Why did he have to be relatives with Kai?!
"I hope you won't judge me for being brothers with him."
"No." Shuichi said hoarsly. "I wouldn't do that."
"That's good. But, I will make sure that he stays away from you. He's a sick man, Shuichi. He needs help. There is only so much that I can do."
"Don't worry about it, Ryuichi..."
"I will worry about it. I won't let my brother keep going and hurting people. Especially people that I care about."
Sakuma cared about Shuichi? Shuichi removed the phone from his ear and stared at it before placing it back on his ear.
"Yuki-san seemed pretty angry. Will he be okay?"
Shuichi felt relief at hearing Yuki's name.
"Yeah, he'll be fine."
Yuki came face to face with Shuichi's worst enemy. All this time Shuichi had been so afraid of Yuki finding out his past, and there he was facing it. He had been so afraid that Yuki would leave him after that, but obviously not. Shuichi let the relief relax him. He began to feel lazy again.
"If you ever spot Kai somewhere, just let me know, okay?"
"Okay."
"Good. Sorry to bother you so late, Shuichi. Hope to see you at work. Good night."
"Good night..."
Shuichi closed his phone and reached over to place it on the bedside table. There, was a note. Shuichi grabbed it, opened it, and unfolded the paper inside, immediatly recognizing Yuki's hand writing.
Shu,
I took you to bed because you fell asleep on the way back to the university. I would have taken you to my room, but the headmaster was patroling the place and saw that we were safe in our dorms. Why, I don't know, he's crazy anyways. Call me in the morning. You, Hiro, Suguru, and I will go out and do something, alright?
I love you,
Yuki
Shuichi smile lightly at the note. He wanted his Yuki right at that moment, but he would have to wait. Sleep overtook him. He forgot to read the P.S.
P.S. There is something that I need to tell you. I know of your past, so it's time you know about mine.
(A/N): Omg, guys I apologize for the cliffhanger! This one was really rushed! I need a whole chapter to go over Yuki's past! Don't hate me! Please review!
