*Hey I just came back from Uwajimaya (for those who don't know it's a chain
of Asian food stores) I bought a crap load of Ramune drinks. I can't
explain if you don't know what they are. If you do then this fic will make
sense....... well..........sorta. Heh heh Ja!*

"YUKI!" The voice of the pink haired whirlwind echoed through the apartment. When nothing answered him Shuichi began to roam the area looking for his stoic lover. He knew that Yuki was home. He just was being himself and shutting himself off. Shuichi peaked into the study and noticed the cold eyes of Yuki focused on the laptop in front of him. He was most likely working. Shuichi just leaned on the wall and smirked. "Yuki wa Yuki." Then he decided he needed a shower. He had been "working" all day and he was quite sweaty. Plus the little stop at the store for his favorite drink.
Yuki heard the door slam and he winced. He knew what was to follow. It was the yelling of the pink baka. Why he had taken the loud mouthed singer as a lover he still didn't know. Still he found himself feeling alone when Shuichi wasn't around. Shuichi had brought more then just noise in the apartment. He brought the sound of laughter. Something Yuki thought he had long forgotten. The sound of Shuichi's voice brought Yuki back to his right state of mind. He continued to write the newest chapter of his new book.
At first it started out as mindless drivel that would make the fan girls drool. Only he changed the subject of the book at the last minute. Time for his romance novels to take a twist.
Shuichi came out of the shower toweling off his hair. He noticed that he had left his drinks out. He quickly put them away thankful that they were still cold from being in a cooler. One of them he opened and drank it. Soon he had become sleepy. The day had become a blur. Singing was harder then most people thought. He changed into his night clothes and unfolded his blanket. He still slept on the couch. It's not like he ever asked. He was sure Yuki would reprimand him for asking to share a bed with him. It was a little too personal. Even Shuichi had to admit it would be rather odd. He knew that he was the only person close to Yuki's heart.
He didn't question it. Despite the sugar in the drink Shuichi drifted off into the world of nod as Yuki watched from a safe distance.
The next morning things had seemed to twist a little. Instead of Yuki grumbling about Shuichi waking him up Shuichi was grumbling about Yuki waking him up. "Breakfast is ready brat." Yuki hissed at Shuichi who grumbled. "now you know what it feels like." he thought inwardly. Shuichi blinked at Yuki's tone of voice.
Shuichi made a run for the bathroom throwing his clothes on. He feared that he was running late. Yuki watched with fascination. "I didn't think that people could move like that" Shuichi was about to bolt out the door when Yuki stepped in the way. "Where are you going?" Shuichi blinked he hadn't noticed when Yuki had gotten to the doorway. "I'm late for work!" Shuichi cried as he shrugged a coat on. "I woke you up early brat. I made breakfast." Yuki's voice hadn't changed. He still sounded the same. Shuichi however knew that inside Yuki was showing he cared. Shuichi had learned to read Yuki. Still this was a bit of a surprise.
Yuki smirked at the look on Shuichi's face. Shuichi turned and marched to the table and plopped himself into the chair. Yuki sat down and sipped at his coffee while reading the newspaper. Shuichi on the other hand was stuffing food into his mouth while reading the comics and laughing. After a few moments Yuki was aware that it had become quiet. Half scared he looked over his newspaper to see Shuichi looking at him. He wasn't making any odd faces at him. Just watching him. "Do you have a problem brat?" Yuki spoke a little harsher then he had wanted but people staring at him was one of his pet peeves. That and squeaky doors. "Oh it's nothing. I was just admiring you. You look sexy in glasses." Shuichi replied. "Do you really think so? Yuki asked. "Yea!" Shuichi chirped back. "In that case....." Yuki removed the glasses and smashed them in his bare hands. The whole time he looked at Shuichi who's mouth was wide open in horror and shock. Springing across the table Shuichi opened Yuki's hand which was now bloody and cut. Shuichi quickly removed the glass and bandaged the hand. "Yuki! You could have really hurt yourself!" Shuichi cried at Yuki who looked unmoved. A unbandaged hand snaked it's way up to Shuichi's face. "You're cute when you worry brat." Shuichi closed his eyes as he saw Yuki leaning over to kiss him. Yuki however missed and ended up near Shuichi's ear. "Look at the time." he whispered "You're late brat" Shuichi's eyes widened and he jumped to the door and got his things ready. He picked up a piece of toast for the road. Just as he was about to sprint out the door he stopped and kissed Yuki on the cheek. "Don't hurt your self anymore please?" With that he ran out the door. Yuki walked to the door. He touched his cheek. Then his eyes went cold again and he put the boy out of his mind for the rest of the day.
The day had past. It was uneventful for both the men. Upon his arrival home Shuichi did the same ritual. Tonight though Yuki was in a good mood so he was actually out of the study and roaming the apartment. Shuichi smiled and went to the couch to watch T.V.
"Oi Yuki. Did you have anything planned for dinner?" Shuichi spoke as his tummy growled. Shuichi had only been home for 10 minutes and Yuki was already annoyed. "No. What do I look like to you brat? I'm not a chef." Yuki grumbled. He was already grabbing a few beers to take with him into the study. "I….I just thought maybe…." Shuichi cut himself off. He already looked stupid. "Nothing never mind." Shuichi then stood and pulled his coat on again. "Listen I'm going out to eat. I'll bring you something back ok?" it wasn't even a question. With that Shuichi left and closed the door and Yuki was left sitting in the room alone. He smirked and went to work. Finally some peace and quiet.
Two hours later Yuki had about as much peace and quiet as he could handle. In fact he was throwing things around to cause some sort of noise. That and he was angry at himself. He shouldn't have yelled at Shuichi like that. "Stupid!" he screamed. Then he opened the refrigerator to grab himself another beer. 7th for the night. When he reached inside his hand connected with a long thin bottle. He pulled it out to notice that it was one of Shuichi's ramune drinks.
He studied it for a long moment. The bottle was simple. Yet He could tell that it had to have something special about it. Or else Shuichi wouldn't keep buying them. He couldn't tell how to open it. Finally he read the instructions." I'm suppose to push the lid down? " He finally did what it said. The was pushing ever so gently. Finally he gave up and slammed the plug down into the bottle. It cause the liquid to flow over and go all over the counter. Yuki mumbled a few curse words "leave it up to that pink haired baka to like something like this." Finally after cleaning the mess up he finally took a drink. The drink was sweet yet not overly sweet. The marble clanked around until Yuki figured that the little bumps in the side of the bottle were meant to keep the marble from moving about. After a few tries he was able admit he liked the drink. Then it hit him like someone had thrown a rock at him. It hit so hard that he dropped the drink causing it to shatter all over the floor. "Shuichi….. Shuichi is like the drink." He stared at the broken bottle. "On the outside it's simple. But on the inside he's sweet and refreshing. He can only take so much pressure until he explodes. Even if he's hurt it's not violent. His sweetness is gone and it leaves everything sticky. He watched at the marble rolled to his feet. Then after a moment he picked it up and watched it crumble in is hands. "I've broken him. The only person that would stay with me no matter what and I've caused him to run." His eyes widened. "Shuichi!" He cried out to the room. The thumping of feet came to him when he heard his named cried.
Shuichi had gone out for a "walk" which equaled that he went to Ryuuichi's place. Although when he got there the door was answered by Tatsuha. "Shuichi? What are you doing here?" Ryuuichi then pushed past him and shook Shuichi "Shu-chan I'm so glad you came!" Shuichi found himself in a hug that threatened to cut of his air. "Sakuma-san I can't breath." Ryuuichi dropped Shuichi and glared at him. "What did you call me?" When Shuichi didn't respond Ryuuichi went serious and picked up Shuichi and carried him into the house. Setting him down he just looked at Shuichi until hoping that Shuichi would say something. Tatsuha knew right away what the problem was. "It's Eiri ne?"
Shuichi bit his lip. "That bastard! Did he hit you?" Shuichi's head shot up "NO! Yuki would never hit me! He just yelled at me. I don't know why it bothered me. He was so nice this morning. Then when I got home he was mean and yelled at me. It wasn't more then normal though. I just didn't feel like I wanted to put up with it." Tatsuha leaned down and kissed Shuichi on the forehead. He signaled for Ryuuichi to get something from the kitchen. "Shuichi. I don't care who you are. You don't dissever to be treated this way. Eiri is stupid. He doesn't know how lucky he is." Shuichi burst in. "No I'm the lucky one. Out of all the fans he has he chose me to be the one that got to live with him. I'm the one that he makes love to!" Tatsuha put one of his fingers over Shuichi's lips. "You chose him. He would never have gotten anywhere if you hadn't pushed." Shuichi stood up. " I have to go back. I have to fix it." With that Shuichi ran out the door. He stopped at a restaurant to pick up some food for Yuki.
When he got home the house was silent except he saw various items thrown around. It was a mess. He feared that someone had broken in. He heard Yuki scream out his name. It sounded like Yuki was in pain. Screaming out he ran into the other room to see Yuki sitting on the couch with a broke ramune bottle at his feet. Shuichi rushed forward to clean up the mess. Then he looked at Yuki. "Back to normal I see' Shuichi dumped the remains into the garbage and warmed up the food for Yuki. Shuichi decided that he needed to take another shower. He started to cross the room when he saw that Yuki was staring at him. He smiled then moved around Yuki.
Yuki had had enough. About a few hours ago he yelled at Shuichi for being hungry now Shuichi had brought him food and cleaned up the mess that he made. He reached out and snared Shuichi's wrist. "Stop it Shuichi. Stop pretending like nothing is the matter." Shuichi whipped around to look at Yuki. "Why? I treat you like crap Shuichi and you still come back." Shuichi flew off the handle. "Why wouldn't I come back? I love you Yuki I don't care what happens as long as I can be around you!" With that he sprang forward connecting his lips with Yuki's
