Chapter Twelve: You Belong to Me
Shuichi was incredibly sore the next morning as he lay beside Yuki in bed but he really didn't mind. Watching as he love continued to sleep he rolled over. Glancing at the clock, he groaned inwardly realizing that he would have to leave soon otherwise risk being late to work. Trying desperately not to wake Yuki, Shuichi began getting up until an arm wrapped gently around his waist and pulled him back into bed against a warm body.
"Good morning sleepy head." Shuichi said happily. Shuichi watched as Yuki opened a bleary eye at him as if to verify that it truly was Shuichi talking before closing it and pulling him even closer.
"I have to go to work soon."
"Just call K, he'll understand." Yuki purred in Shuichi's ear pulling him closer.
"What about you then? Don't you have a novel to finish?"
"I recently finished my latest novel."
"So I can spend time with you?" Shuichi asked nervously.
"As much as you want." Shuichi smiled warmly at Yuki knowing that he couldn't see from his perspective.
"I love you Yuki."
"I love you to Shuichi now let me sleep for another half an hour."
Shuichi couldn't help but giggle as the old Yuki resurfaced. Some things never change, he thought. Closing his eyes, Shuichi snuggled into Yuki's chest allowing him to wrap his arms around his waist pulling him closer however Shuichi couldn't sleep and spent the remainder of the morning watching and listening as his lover slept beside him.
Yuki was now busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast (more like lunch since it was already eleven o'clock) as Shuichi dressed. Shuichi jumped over the bed excitedly and grabbed his phone as it started ringing.
"Hello?" Shuichi answered.
"Good morning Shindo-san."
"Tohma you can call me Shuichi and what do you want?"
"K has been hounding at me for allowing you to spend your time with Eiri however I believe that it will be beneficial for both of you."
"That isn't the only reason you called me Tohma." Shuichi said even though he was glad that Tohma was now accepting his relationship with Yuki.
"I would like to offer you a contract either with the reformed Bad Luck or with Touching Darkness." Shuichi could hardly breathe. He never considered the fact that Tohma might be willing to offer him or his band a contract with NG however this would allow him to stay close to Yuki now that they were back together again. Shuichi stopped dancing around happily to answer Tohma.
"I would have to talk to my band first." He answered professionally.
"Very well I shall see you soon." Shuichi began jumping around excitedly. He was back in Tokyo and things were finally going his way!
"So you finally decide to show up Chaos and look you dragged in your new toy."
Shuichi couldn't help but smile at K as he walked into the NG building accompanied by Yuki. Yuki had is arm slung around Shuichi's shoulders as they walked into the band's room. Both Nittle Grasper and Twilight were seated in the room with his band all eyeing him as they entered. His friends smiled at him knowing that he couldn't really smile back with his band in the room. Obviously, Tohma had other business considering he wasn't in the room.
"I see you had some fun last night Chaos." Mello observed as he continued to read in a corner. Rage simply laughed at Sorrow's discomfort on the subject.
"He's only a toy and as soon as we leave Choas will have to leave it behind!" Sorrow said jumping up as if he succeeded in separating them.
"Actually Tohma offered us a contract with NG so we might stay here." Shuichi said before anyone could answer.
Everyone's jaws fell to the ground as he told them the news. After awhile Shuichi watched as his friends smiled warmly at the idea of him staying. His band members had different views though. Mello looked the same as always, expressionless. Rage was excited and looked as if he could smash anything. But Sorrow had a glassy look as if he were deep in thought.
"Of course we will have to discuss this in private but I think this could be a good change for us." Shuichi said watching the expressions of both his friends and his band mates.
"Well this is excellent news! We shall have to leave and discuss this!" K said excidtely.
"When will you be returning?" Daisuke
"We have a concert tonight so we won't be back today." Sorrow mumbled as he walked out the door followed by Mello and Rage.
"Good bye Yuki."
"I'll be at the concert tonight so we can spend more time together afterwards." Shuichi smiled to his friends as he left. Yes, things were defiantly going his way.
Shuichi was thoroughly excited. In exactly fifteen minutes he would be back in Yuki's apartment. The lights on stage were beginning to blind him however he didn't care all he had to do was sing one last song and then he could spend the entire night forgetting everything and just remain by Yuki's side. He wouldn't have to think about any decision or even Touching Darkness. He could simply be Shuichi.
"This song was written by Sorrow and I. For our final song I present to you, Heart of Misery."
I don't want to feel anything today
(I don't want to feel anything today)
Anything at all and just be alone
(I just want to know that you want to know)
I don't want to lie through another day
(I don't want to live through another day)
Meaningless to fight for the victory
I just want to dive in the heart of misery
One love, one life
Locked me in the heart of misery
One loss, one fight
Locked me in the heart of misery
I will never be anything again
(I will never be anything again)
I'm tired to give, I don't want to try
(I'm afraid to live, I'm afraid to die)
I just want to fly, throw it all away
(I just want to fly, throw it all away)
Meaningless to fight for sympathy
I just want to drown in the heart of misery
Shuichi looked over and smiled as Sorrow sang every second line. It was a change from their usual style but K had insisted on something different and Sorrow had decided to help him out. He knew why K had insisted on a change and that was because they could be staying in Tokyo permanently. Shuichi turned back to the audience and began to sing the rest of the song by himself.
One love, one life
Locked me in the heart of misery
One loss, one fight
Locked me in the heart of misery
One man forgot to breathe
One heart refused to beat
One live is incomplete
One loss, one fight
Locked me in the heart of misery
One loss, one fight
Locked me in the heart of misery
One love, one life
Locked me in the heart of misery
One loss, one fight
Locked me in the heart of misery
Ah ah, ah ah
In the heart of misery
Ah ah, ah ah
In the heart of misery
Shuichi thanked the crowed and ran backstage, excited to spend the night with Yuki.
"Chaos, move it or we'll leave without you!" Rage yelled.
"That's alright. I'm going home with Yuki anyway." Shuichi replied trying not to bounce around the room in joy.
"You know I think this Yuki person is good for you. He's bringing out the kinder side to you."
Shuichi smiled. No he's bringing out the Shuichi, he thought. Rage shrugged realizing that Shuichi had gone into a dream state and followed as Mello left the room. Only Sorrow and Shuichi were left in the room.
"Chaos please come back tonight." Sorrow begged.
"I'm sorry Sorrow but I've already told Yuki that I'd spend the night with him." Shuichi said turning to collect his belongings. Suddenly, Shuichi felt something heavy collide with the side of his head. Falling to the ground, his vision began to blur.
"Chaos, no...Shuichi Shindo...you belong to me." And with that Shuichi fell into the darkness.
