Chapter 10: An Unusual Turn of Events
"Hiro…" Shuichi said softly.
"If Hiro and Shuichi are meant to be together then let them be together and I'll marry Ryuichi today instead!" Shouted Tatsuha who jumped up.
"Sit down!" the Uesugis' all told him in unison.
"Well this is certainly dramatic" Yuki mumbled as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
'Yuki…' Shuichi thought to himself. 'You're smoking now? You usually only smoke when you feel relieved like after you've finished writing for the night or something like that. Is the fact that you're smoking now a sign that you're relieved that Hiro said something?'
"Well we can't very well have a wedding without the blessing of the best man now can we?" said Ryuichi with a half hearted sigh.
"Ryuichi?" Shuichi questioned.
"There's no way I can get married without a perfect wedding and there's no such thing as a perfect wedding with an objection to the union in question so how bout we do this Hiro, we won't marry today. We'll go back to Japan and have a three month waiting period. In those three months Shuichi can date who ever he wants free of being accused of cheating. At the end of those three months Shuichi will give me his answer on whether or not he wants to marry me or you or someone else he sees in that time and at that time who ever he picks gets to be with him and all other parties must accept it, deal?"
"Sounds good to me, in three months if I haven't won Shuichi's heart I'll give my blessing to the man he chooses" replied Hiro.
"Sorry for calling you all here for nothing everyone! But we'd be more than happy to sing for you to make up for your travels!" Ryuichi called in his chibi voice.
Everyone applauded and then left to gossip about the turn of events and helped themselves to the buffet of food behind them.
"Sorry about this Shuichi, it's not that I don't love you. I just want a perfect wedding and so long as someone in our lives objects to our union we won't live happily ever after and I won't let that happen. If nothing's changed between us in three months then the two of us will be here again and have our happy ending ok?"
"Yeah, it's only a change in the date right? No biggie!" Shuichi smiled and waved his hand in a gesture suggesting everything would be fine when deep down he was worried.
"Alright, now go get something to drink to wake your voice up. The least we can do is have a top notch concert right?"
"Right!" and with that Ryuichi headed over to the buffet table.
"I meant what I said Shuichi. No one could love you more than me and by the end of these next three months you'll be marrying me. So when we get back to Japan you better be ready to go on a hot date with me got it?" Hiro said while pointing a finger at him. Once he was done he left to go freshen up for the concert.
"Ohh…why can't anyone who falls in love with me just confess to me in a normal way. Yuki kissed me in an elevator before he agreed to date me and everyone including me found that out by means of reporters. Ryuichi didn't even let me know the karaoke was a date and we slept together the same night while I was dating Yuki and he took me by surprise with an engagement at a concert in front of millions of people and now Hiro's gone and made a scene out of it…Why can't they just sit me down at a nice restaurant and say I love you Shuichi let's start seeing each other…" Shuichi whined to himself with a chibi like flow of tears coming from his eyes.
Shuichi grabbed a cup of punch and went behind a giant set of bleachers that would soon be full of people waiting to hear him and Ryuichi sing. He sipped the punch slowly, almost playing with it. He didn't really want it but his voice needed to be in tip top shape if he was going to start singing his heart out.
"Shuichi…" came a low but very familiar voice. Shuichi glanced up from his punch to see Yuki not even 2 feet from him. He jumped slightly upon seeing him.
"Yuki! Don't sneak up on me like that!" Shuichi yelled at him surprised.
"I didn't sneak up on you, you're just not paying attention to your surroundings!" Yuki snapped. "But that's not why I came here."
"Are you going to yell at me for making you fly half way around the world for nothing? Because it's not my fault. I don't plan for these things to happen you know" Shuichi started but what subtly interrupted.
"That's not why I came looking for you. I came to tell you that I didn't mean to chase you out that time."
"What?" Shuichi asked him shocked. "Are you apologizing?"
"Don't play dumb, why else would I track you down to say that? The truth is that I've missed you. Now that you're free from any relationships I want to try and get back what we had"
"Yuki, you're not making any sense" Shuichi told him become extremely confused.
"Shut up, brat" Yuki blushed slightly before grabbing a handful of his hair and pulling him into a deep kiss. Shuichi could taste the bitter taste of the cigarette Yuki had just smoked. He may have hated cigarettes but he so missed be kissed like this. He didn't particularly like Yuki's attitude towards him most of the time or the fact that he was so rough when trying to make up with him but deep down he knew he had missed Yuki and the fact that Yuki had missed him too sent him into a brief state of euphoria.
"Yuki" Shuichi tried to call his name but his was muffled by their kiss. Shuichi tried to break off the kiss and speak to Yuki but the moment he created a gap between their lips, Yuki had grabbed both of his hands and pinned him up against the bleachers. Shuichi's punch had fallen to the ground and Yuki continued to passionately kiss him, first on the lips and then he went to his neck.
"YUKI!" Shuichi called trying to get him to focus.
"What!" Yuki demanded impatiently.
"You're engaged to Ayaka. I may be a free agent but you're not and this is wrong."
"Heh, we had slept with each other before while I was engaged to Ayaka so what's the big deal?" Yuki laughed.
"I didn't know about Ayaka the first time and I don't want to start anything with anyone till I'm back in Japan. It would be improper to start something in the wake of my wedding and I most certainly have no intention of getting together with someone behind a set of bleachers right before I'm about to sing that's the big deal! Now get off!" Shuichi screamed. Yuki growled at him but let him go. Shuichi face turned red as he walked off towards the stage. He had no idea that he could speak to Yuki like that and that scared him a little.
