A/N: Okay since I'm so desperate to get this chapter out but have limited ideas for it this will be the shortest chapter in my history of chapters. Please forgive the length. I promise to my readers the chapters following will be longer. I hit a huge writer's block again. But I hope you all will forgive me. And thank you to all who have stuck with me for this story. It makes me so happy! Also I will be deleting the author notes but when I do if I update the story again this site won't show when it happens. So if you want me to let you know when it is updated again let me know in a review please!

Disclaimer: I don't even own my keychain anymore (pouts) can't get any clearer than that.

Chapter 8: Chances for love range from low to high.

Yuki needed a drink. No he needed 5 drinks. No better yet he wondered if there was a pill he could take that would make him drunk in seconds. He had been so focused on finishing his novel, which was thankfully now in the hands of his editor pending approval that he hadn't even thought of how his life would be like without the presence of a certain pink-haired idiot. By this time he had picked up his phone and had it placed at his ear.

"Eiri, you need to decide if you're going to try to win Mr. Shindo back." Tohma said to him over the phone.

"That's not a decision that's so easily made Tohma." Eiri said quietly. "I know a part of me wants him back. But I'm adjusting to the quietness around here. But at times it feels a little too quiet."

"He's had quite an affect on you then." Tohma said softly. "Eiri , whatever you choose to do, do it quickly. Mr. Shindou may be looking elsewhere for inspiration in love songs."

Yuki rolled his eyes at the pun but then caught on to the meaning. "Tohma, you're not saying he's-"

"I'm only pointing out the possibility you may not be the only one he can feel this way about." Tohma pointed out. "I mind my own business unless it affect your or the company and this is a situation that involves both parties."

"Tohma, have you talked to him?"

"Not personally no, but I observe more from the sidelines than the average person. I will say from what I can tell it is not going to be easy for you to fully win back his heart." Tohma said, "You hurt him deeply Eiri, and you know I'm not one for taking sides, but I don't blame him for being upset."

Yuki sighed and fell back against his couch. He knew he had hurt the other boy but hadn't intended for Shuichi to feel like he was hated. "I'm going to talk to him."

"When exactly do you plan to do that?"

"When he's better. I don't want him to think I'm trying to take advantage of the fact that he's not clear headed enough to make any decisions." Yuki said.

"Would you like me to help you arrange a meeting? He may not be very keen on speaking with you." Tohma suggested.

"Since I know you're right I may have to take you up on that offer. But I think I should wait until the day after tomorrow."

"I have no arguments with that Eiri but may I ask why you are putting it off till then?"

"Because I have a meeting with my editor tomorrow. I'd go over today but I'm already settled in for the night. Besides I asked Sakuma to keep me updated on Shuichi's health. He's still not feeling to good or so he told me."

It was true, as requested Ryuichi had kept him informed on Shuichi's status as per his request. He didn't want to admit it but he almost felt jealous of the lead singer of Nittle Grasper for being able to spend that close quality time with Shuichi. But still he wasn't' sure if he would have been willing to actually look after Shuichi when he was sick like this. Oh he would have given him medicine and allowed him to sleep in the bed with him, well actually he would take the couch to avoid catching whatever it was Shuichi was sick from. But he wouldn't have done anything else.

"Well if you would like me to arrange a meeting let me know. I need to go." Tohma said snapping Yuki out of his thoughts.

"Okay thank you." Yuki said "Have a good night Tohma." He flipped his cellphone shut and walked over to grab a beer from his fridge. He didn't drink often but this was one of the times he would make an exception.

Ryuichi locked the door to his home studio and made his way towards Shuichi's room. The door was ajar so he knocked and peeked in. "Hey are you awake?"

Shuichi looked up from his lying position. "I just finished up a nap to be honest. Why?"

"Well I figured you'd like to do something besides be in bed. You should probably get up anyway so your legs don't lose feeling." Ryuichi said.

"Did you have someplace particular in mind?' Shuichi asked kicking off his covers.

"Well there's going to be a scary movie on. I want to watch it but I don't want to be alone." Ryuichi answered. "Mr. Bear gets scared too."

Shuichi moved to he was sitting up. "So we'll go out to the living room then and watch a movie?"

"If you want to." Ryuichi said.

Shuichi smiled. "Okay, let's go!" he followed his idol out to the living room where the two sat down on the couch a bowl of popcorn in front of them and the tv going with a movie that seemed promising. The two had jumped occasionally and laughed at the rare humorous parts.

As the climax of the film seemed to draw near the two boys were nearing the tv engrossed in the movie both not knowing what was about to happen. As the killer popped out from behind a tree Ryuichi felt Shuichi practically jump into his arms.

Their new positions was now Ryuichi on the edge of the couch with Shuichi sitting on his lap his arms wrapped around his waist and his face buried in the older singer's shoulder. Shuichi slowly looked up and for several moments neither boy moved.

But then Ryuichi did something he knew he shouldn't do.

Something he knew was practically forbidden.

Something he should have done a long time ago.

Ryuichi leaned in and captured Shuichi's lips with his own.

At first Shuichi was taken by surprise but nevertheless he returned the kiss. Everything under the sun was screaming at him to push Ryuichi away but his heart had told him to kiss back.

The kiss deepened when Ryuichi slowly pushed Shuichi down til they were both lying on the couch. After several moments they broke apart breathing heavily. Ryuichi finally came to his sense and scrambled off the other singer. "Shuichi I-" he ran towards his music studio slamming the door shut leaving Shuichi dazed.

"What the hell just happened?"

A/N: Yeah, I'm cruel I know. Again very sorry for the length adding to my writer's block is' almost 79 degrees Fahrenheit in my apartment so it's not exactly easy to think. Now as mentioned before 3 reviews = chapter 9 and if you want to know if I have updated let me know in your review because the site itself will not say if it has been.
