Disclaimer: I think I said this before, but Suguru would be gay!
I said I'd be writing Suguru again…I'm no liar.
"Into Boys"
Suguru stepped into the studio, not surprised to be the first one there. He walked over to his keyboard and began to play, closing his eyes and letting the music wash over him, preparing him for the day, so he would be prepared for anything, prepared for the word that they were leaving NG, prepared for-
"Morning, Fujisaki-kun."
Suguru opened his eyes and nodded as Hiro walked into. "Good morning, Nakano-kun." Hiro nodded back and picked up his guitar, beginning to tune it.
Suguru sat back and watched him for a moment, his face calm, but his insides bubbling with anticipation. So? What had Shindou chosen? Yuki? Or NG? Hiro was his best friend, right? He should know, right? So why wasn't he saying anything? Suguru stared at the back of Hiro's neck, willing him to turn around and say something, anything! But Hiro continued to tune his guitar. So Suguru continued to play the keyboard.
Finally, after a few hours passed, Suguru glanced up at the clock and scowled. "It's nearly noon already?" he said. "Where's K and Shuichi? They do know that it's not the weekend, right?"
Hiro glanced up, surprise on his face. "Oh…good point…where could they be? Maybe K forgot that Shuichi's not at Yuki's anymore."
"Not…not at Yuki's? Wh-" But before Suguru could finish the thought, Sakano burst into the studio, hair disheveled and face pale.
"Ah, Nakano-kun, Fujisaki-kun, there you are! Go home! You have vacation until…oh, God knows when…just go home. I…I've got to go to America right away, so while I'm gone, everyone…everyone has vacation!"
"Sakano, wha-" Hiro began to say.
"No time! Gotta go! Judy Winchester kidnapped Shuichi and Shacho just made me Shacho and-and I've gotta go!" And Sakano was gone.
Hiro and Suguru stared at the door, speechless, then they stared at each other, still no words passing between them. Finally, Suguru said, "So, did you…did you catch all that?"
Hiro nodded vaguely. "At least, I think he said something about Shuichi going to America…and did he say that he's shacho now?"
Suguru hung his head in disappointment. "Well, I wish Shuichi had taken us with him. Since when is Bad Luck just the singer? I thought we were a band…"
Hiro placed his guitar back in its case and stood up. "Well, shouldn't we get going? We have a vacation, Fujisaki-kun; let's not waste it here at work!"
Suguru stood and followed Hiro to the door. "Good point, Nakano-kun."
They walked out of the building together, again no words spoken. The silence wasn't entirely uncomfortable, and yet Suguru still felt the urge to break it.
"So, how was your date the other day, Nakano-kun?" he asked as the walked across the lobby.
Hiro sighed and ran a hand through his long hair. "Oh, I don't know…Shuichi kind of ruined it, you could say and…and I was pretty preoccupied anyway."
"Oh. With what?"
Hiro stopped walking, and Suguru stopped a moment later, puzzled and a little worried over his bandmate's silence.
"…I was thinking…about what you said the other day."
Suguru frowned. What had he said…?
Hiro took a step closer, a smile almost invisible on his face. "I decided…that…maybe…maybe I am." He looked up, and Suguru blinked. Hiro was close, very close. And he got closer and closer until, as Hiro whispered, "Fujisaki-kun," Suguru felt the word caress his lips, only a second before Hiro's mouth followed.
They were frozen in the middle of the hallway, mouth on mouth, Hiro not daring to pull Suguru closer, and the younger boy too shocked to push him away. Other employees, surprised by the sudden vacation, walked past them, but recognizing them as Bad Luck, did not even stop to question the two boys in the middle of the corridor, kissing.
Suguru, however, was screaming in his head that another boy was kissing him in the middle of the hallway! But when the screaming subsided, soothed by the cool touch of Hiro's lips on his, a little voice, that sounded much like his own, spoke.
"You wouldn't happen to be into boys as well, would you?"
End
The last line is a quote taken from Volume 8 of the manga, when Hiro and Suguru are discussing why Seguchi would make Shuichi pick between Yuki and NG. There's a part when Hiro says something that's romantic and shows what a true friend he is…and Suguru adds that remark as an afterthought, to which Hiro thinks, "I've said too much." The rest of that volume is his and Ayaka's date, which is the last time you ever see or hear of Ayaka…mheh heh, and this is my explanation why that is.
Note- to "me": You're right about that! However, perhaps because he would have introduced himself as "Uesugi Tatsuha" she would not have looked for his similarities to Yuki. Now, if he were to introduce himself as "Yuki Tatsuha", Maiko would have heard the "Yuki" and then might have seen how alike they are. But the "Uesugi" probably threw her off.
