A little sidefic to spice up the day!
Enter a girl with blonde, below the shoulder length hair, royal blue eyes, wearing a white tank top with sports bra underneathe and leather pedal pushers and rubber shoes.
Iceladys: I kinda forgot to describe myself… Ehehehe… So there! Welcome to the 2nd chapter! Our guest for today is… Hoshiro-chan!

Hoshiro: FYI for everybody. Hoshii + Shiro = Me.
Iceladys: Ah… hehe… he… Okay. This i-
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Iceladys: Who could that be… *opens an icedoor to see…* RUKAWA!
Rukawa: Oi. Your fics's ready?
Iceladys: chibi mode Why are you here?! You jumped 80 titles again!
Rukawa: …But it's fine with you.
Iceladys: *moves aside and lets Rukawa enter* Unfortunately… yes.
The two move over to the ice chair where Hoshiro is sitting, while sipping on a Coffee Experience cup…
Iceladys: Aaah… Warmer drink. What flavor?
Hoshiro: …Cold Choco.
Raven hair and Iceladys sweatdrop… -_-;;
Rukawa: And I thought I'd escape insanity by going here.
Iceladys: Well… Lets get on with the fic. Rukawa, do the honors!
Rukawa: Everyone, please look down.
Under this floating chunk of ice that caused Titanic to sink, the fic takes place…
"Please Here What I am Not Saying"
Chapter 2: Heard at last, by you.
After a month, Bad Luck's new single was released. A man with bond hair was browsing around a music store… He stopped beside a row of Bad luck albums and saw the new single…
Artist: Bad Luck
Please Hear what I am Not Saying.
A week later, Yuki heard that Bad Luck's promoting a new album, "Missing You". They will be on this place at this time…
"Wait for me."
Yuki entered the store and saw the row of people there. Someone recognized him for some reason and shouted his name. Suddenly, the string of people leading to Shuichi Shindou, Bad Luck Vocalist, parted like the Red Sea, thus giving way for Yuki to move towards…
"Shuichi."
Shuichi, in sheer trepidation wanted to run, wanted to hide. He didn't know what to feel but fear. /After the days we've been separated. I've seen you… again./
Yuki shoved his single, Please Hear What I am Not Saying, to Shuichi and said, "You know I did. Why didn't you?" Yuki felt his eyes fill with tears. He took out his shades /Thankfully, it's in the afternoon/, and took off. Shuichi's eyes also welled up with tears. He knew that for some reason, Yuki was right. /I admit… I still love you. I know you know that. I can't help this… This feeling…/ With Yuki still shoving his way out of the crowded store with little success, Shuichi stood up and sang:
Can't you see?
You're the clouds of my rain
Blocking the sun away
Using me
To rid of all the pain
That life is throwing you.
I can be the one you lean on
When at the same time
You make me bleed more
But it doesn't really matter to me now
You're the true love that I have found
But please hear
What I'm not saying
It's not easy giving and giving
At the same time never receiving
Anything
Hear the sound
My heart's whispering
Every word emanating
I'm still hoping and hoping
You'd hear
What I'm not saying.
Yuki stopped at his tracks. He wanted to look back. He wanted to hug his lover tight, once again, be reunited with him. /It's not too late. Go on!/ He clenched his hand into a fist and went back with Shuichi taking off to meet him at the middle of the way. Yuki felt the urge to kiss him then and there but instead, he just whispered to Shuichi, wanting to take it slow, "If you're not busy… can you meet me at the park? I really miss you and I…" Shuichi's mind was racing. He wanted Yuki to say it, but settled to think that no, Yuki can't do it.
Yuki on the other hand, clenched his fist tighter and said, "…I… I love you." Shuichi, overcome with happiness, confusion, excitement, loneliness, and doubt took hold of his composure and said, "Sure. See you then." He decided to be more private since he didn't want an unexpected commotion there. They parted ways, with hopes in their hearts.
/I did it. I hope I'm still Yuki when I meet… Shu-chan./ Yuki laughed at the thought… He's never called Shuichi 'Shu-chan' for a long time now.
Shuichi regained energy to sign more autographs and have more pictures taken of him and his fans. He smiled wider, wrote autographs longer. /I was the one who decided not to stay… Yet I'm so happy… That he came…/
Hiro noticed the change in Shuichi. In fact, everyone noticed. But that didn't matter to anyone. At least he's got more energy for autograph signing!
At long last, the 5 hours of waiting came to an end. It was 9 in the evening. The Bad Luck Members parted for their hour break and Shuichi finally walked towards the park. The place… where they first met. /Wait for me Yuki…/
Shuichi eventually reached the narrow path. It brought back sweet memories that Shuichi so often missed. He was mocked, brought down and hurt by the words spoken that night. Yet… it can't be denied that because of those bittersweet words, he met his lover.
Shuichi walked along, strolling slowly then briskly… slowly… then briskly. He can' decide wether to go fast, because of his extreme happiness, or slow, because of fear. Fear of again, rejection, which he doubted a bit. /Yuki… Where are you?/ Just when Shuichi was about to quick andstop at the next bench, he saw the silhouette of a man. The man was as tall as Yuki and was smoking a cigar. /The… The smell… Why is it so familiar to me?/ As he walked closer, he saw the person he was looking for.
"Yu… Yuki…" Shuichi fought the urge to scamper away. /I've been waiting for this! Why am I going to run away?!/, he thought. actually… Shuichi isn't the only one feeling this way.
Yuki himself was having some trouble on his own… /Damn… He's here! Well of course he is! You asked him to come all the way down here! Stupid! Sheesh… you can be so idiotic at time Yuki!/ Yuki, himself, was struggling. He wanted to, just like Shuichi run away! But he thought not.
"Uhm… Shuichi… I… I'm sorry. I haven't been more vocal on you." Yuki was turning a bit pink, feeling embarrassment. He never really planned on anything to say and because of the lack of planning, his mind was racing, thinking of something (and anything, for that matter) to say.
"I… I should say sorry too. I should've been more understanding towards you. I mean, you've gone through a lot and I should understand tha… that you can't help but be secretive. I… I'm so sorry, Yuki." Shuichi waited for a reply. /Please say something Yuki! Damn! I didn't think this is going to be THIS hard! Yuki!!!/
"No, it's my fault. I was so harsh on you. My acts of rudeness… it's unforgivable. Please, please forgive me Shuichi. I swear to try and be open to yo and to be true to myself, just please… please… don't leave me…" Yuki bowed down, trying to not show that he's crying. He was crying because… because he'd said all he needed to say. Of course, that wasn't all, but that's the best he could think of at that time. He was afraid though, that Shuichi would not accept his apology.
Shuichi, on the other hand, was so happy. It was probably the second bestd ay of his life. If not second, one of the best. It was the first time Yuki brought himself down to his knees, way below Shuichi. /Yuki…/
"Yuki… What happens now?", Shuichi asked.
"It's up to you." Yuki wipes his tears away and managed to smile a bit. "Either we… part ways or… or…"
"Or?"
"…or…uhm… well… NOT part ways… Sorry!" Yuki laughs a bit… /Shit. What am I doing?!/ "I guess I'm starting to sound like an idiot to you!"
"No, of course not. Uhm… Yuki… I really… missed you… a lot for that matter!" Shuichi was smiling when he said this. /Ahhh… I'm so relieved! He even called himself… Idiot…!/
"So… I'll see you home?" Yuki moves to Shuichi and wraps his arms around his waist, gazed to his eyes and smiled… a REAL smile this time!
"Yeah… I'll see you home!" Shuichi was amazed at the sight. Yuki was smiling like a kid. Like the pictures he'd seen of Yuki when he was a child. Innocent. Before that day his life was shattered to bits.
Shuichi hugged him tightly. Firm but with love. Yuki returned the hug.
It seemed like time stopped for the two as they remained still, savoring the moment of bliss. They've never felt so much love in their life. It wasn't like the usual everyday hug they had every morning, not like the hug they did when they do the 'deed' and not like the other hugs left unsaid. This one was unique and special. This hug proved that Yuki truly loved Shuichi and Shuichi truly loved Yuki.
After a couple of minutes or so that they've manage that long hug, they looked at each other.
Yuki moved his head beside Shuichi's ear and whispered, "I feel like I can't separate from you today… Can I at least bring you to the studio?"
"Well," Shuichi said, thinking and at the same time, teasing.
"Please?", Yuki somehow managed a little, but not so pitiful pout.
"For that, you get to bring me to the studio and a kiss!" Shuichi gave Yuki a light peck at the cheek and they walked off…
…I guess they heard each other crystal clear now… don't you think so?
