Shuichi awoke on the couch to voices. Excited voices. And there were many voices.

He covered his head to drown them out so he could get back to sleep. Sleep was the one thing he still loved more than anything and anyone.

Untill he heard a female's voice. It wasn't his mom and it was to calm to be his sister. So, who the hell was it?

He finally popped out from under his pillow and looked at everyone around the room. He spotted Ayaka with a spoon in her hands and she smiled at him.

"Good morning. These noisy boys must have woke you up," She walked over to Shuichi.

"Yeah, kind of," Shuichi said, rubbing his eyes, "How'd you get here?"

"Oh, I got on the first flight out of Tokyo, so I made it at around six in the morning. Came straight here," she smiled widely.

"Yup, so, how you doin'?" Hiro asked as he put an arm around the girl.

"Uhm, shitty," Shuichi said as he rubbed his head.

"Well, wait 'till you read this," Tsuki said, handing Shuichi's cell to him.

Shuichi blinked a few times to correct his blurry vision and looked at the screen of his phone.

'Hey, Shu. I know last night was a bit of a let down. So, I was wondering if you'd like to go to the park to talk. Just you and me.'

Shuichi stared at the phone, mouth agape. This was unbelievable. Maybe last night did go well and everything was falling in his favor.

"Dude, you've gotta go," Oracle laughed.

"Yeah, you'd be crazy if you didn't after last night's nightmare," scoffed Raz

Shuichi gulped a bit but nodded. They were right. He would be insane not to take Yuki up on this offer. He'd never let himself live it down if he lets this fly by.

"But not before you eat. Raz said you didn't eat anything last night so I'm making breakfast," Ayaka announced as she cheerfully walked back into the kitchen.

"And trust me, her breakfast is one thing you don't want to miss, it's amazing," Hiro smiled, leaning closer to Shuichi, "That and she'll get extremely upset,"

"I heard that, Hiroshi!"

Yuki sat quietly on a bench in the park Ryo told Shuichi to go to. His whole body was shaking. His nerves were shot, and not to mention, he didn't get to have a cup of coffee or at least a beer before Ryo shoved him out the door and told him to march his ass to the park now before Shuichi gets there.

Honestly though, Yuki didn't know what Ryo thought was going to happen.

"Yuki?"

Yuki looked up to see Shuichi standing in front of him. He scooted over silently to let him sit. Shuichi took the seat without saying a word.

"So, what did you want to talk about?"

"Firstly, I wanted to apologize for last night. It was rude," Yuki gulped.

"It's alright, Raz didn't take any of it to heart. With the exception of you making fun of his name," Shuichi explained.

"Yeah," the blond got silent, "So, how long have you two been together? I forgot,"

Shuichi sat there for a while, thinking to himself before sighing, "We're not dating. It was a crackpot idea that Hiro came up with,"

"I figured as much, he didn't seem your type,"

They both went silent for a while.

"Yuki. Be straight forward. What was last night suppose to accomplish?" the pinkette looked over at the taller male.

"Honestly, it was also a crackpot idea at making you jealous so you'd confess how much you've missed me,"

Shuichi nodded.

"And, you thought that was going to happen, right in front of Ryo?"

"Yeah, pretty much. Not one of my best plans, I'll admit," he sighed.

"Yuki, Ryo is head over heels for you. I can tell. Why would you want to ruin it? Don't you love him?" Shuichi stared at him quizzically.

"At first. I will admit that. But, seeing you again. I don't know, things just changed," Yuki kept his gaze down.

"This is utter bullshit, Eiri. And you know it," Shuichi stood up.

"Bullshit? What's bullshit is you dragging some random dick to our dinner to play "house" with you,"

"House?! Oh, that's what it is now, I forgot, you don't take relationships seriously," Shuichi scoffed.

"God dammit, Shuichi! I'm trying to be honest with you! I just told you I wanted you back and now you're pissed at me?!" Yuki stood up as well.

"I'm not pissed because of that, Eiri, I'm pissed because you waited ten years before you said anything to me! You have a boyfriend, you can't just walk away from that!" Shuichi turned to face him.

"Want to bet?"

"Fine then, why did we divorce?" he crossed his arms, starring the blond man down.

"Tohma told me it would be the best for us if we weren't getting along,"

"Don't blame Tohma, you can make your own choices,"

Yuki stared at him for a bit. If Shuichi wanted honesty, then he'll get it. He did ask for it.

"Because you forced me into marrying you,"

Shuichi's arms dropped. He stared at Yuki with glossy eyes, his breathing hitching a bit in his throat.

"I what..?"

"Shu, I didn't even want to be with you at the time! I only married you so you'd be happy and leave me alone for a while,"

"You only married me because you thought I wouldn't bug you anymore?" Shuichi let out a quiet sob.

"As sick as it sounds. Yeah. That's right,"

"So, all of it was a lie? Why did I even bother coming?" Shuichi turned and started to walk down the path, wiping a stray tear that fell down his cheek.

"Shuichi, hold on!" Yuki yelled, running after him and grabbing his arm.

"Just let me go, please," Shuichi sniffled, turning to remove Yuki's hand from his arm.

"I'm not finished," Yuki tightened his grip, "Could you at least hear me out?"

Shuichi looked away but stayed quiet to give Yuki his time to talk. But afterwords, he was leaving.

"After our divorce, I never felt so unhappy. Ever. I regretted it, but I knew staying in the relationship was hurting both of us. We barely even yawned at each other, let alone had a full on conversation," he said, watching Shuichi's facial expressions.

"That could have been solved, and you know it," Shuichi sobbed, looking up at him.

"I know, and I didn't see that untill after it was all done and over with and you know I hate admitting I'm wrong," he explained.

"That's for damn sure," Shuichi sniffled again.

"So, I'm only going to beg you once. Please, give me a second chance?"

^_^ I like how this turned out, honestly. Even though Yuki was slightly mean v.v.

Well, hope you enjoyed! Don't forget to review! Good reviews inspire me!

Love, ShuChan
