Yuki's Confession
Yuki pulls into the driveway scowling . . . Tatsuha scolds "If you treated Shuichi better we wouldn't have wasted four hours looking for him tonight. What happened between you two anyways?"
Yuki glares at Tatsuha. . . "The baka overreacted and I guess I did too. He's never stayed away from home this long before. What if he's lying dead in a ditch? What am I going to do without him?"
"Eiri, you still haven't told me what happened." Tatsuha demands "Details, details, I want to know everything."
Yuki recalls the incident "Ayaka came over to visit me and told me she had some good news. She's finally gotten over me and wants to spend the rest of her life with Hiro. She got so excited that she hugged me and then kissed me on the lips when Shuichi came in the door. I got angry because he was throwing a scene so I told him to get out. You know I didn't mean it literally; I just wanted some time to cool down."
Tatsuha scolds "Does Shuichi know this?" Yuki hangs his head "No, Normally he doesn't pay attention when I tell him to leave. Hiro was with him too and he didn't seem to have a problem about Ayaka and me."
Tatsuha ponders "Hmm! I think you got that wrong. Now I understand why Shuichi and Hiro were crying in the bar. But I'm curious on why Sakano was drunk and crying? You didn't have anything to with that now did you Eiri?" While Tatsuha nudges Yuki in the ribs.
Yuki is confused at what Tatsuha is hinting at "Stop joking around! This is serious!" Tatsuha retorts "I am serious! I saw your little boy toy and his friend crying their eyes out at the bar and overheard something about an affair."
Yuki exclaims "What!! I think I really messed up this time. If Ayaka finds out we're dead!" Tatsuha screeches "What do you mean, we?"
Yuki threatens "If you don't help me straighten out this mess, Ryuichi-kun will have to find out about your bed wetting days. You catch my drift?"
"I'll help! I'll help!"
Yuki unlocks the door and notices Shuichi, curled up in a ball, fast asleep on the couch. Tatsuha chirps "It looks like I don't have to help you after all. Why don't I leave you two love birds alone and I'll try to find Hiro."
Yuki looks tenderly at Shuichi as he strokes his cheek. He whispers softly in his ear "Baka! You made me worry. I'm so sorry Shui-chan." as he picks him up and carries him into the bedroom and places him on the bed.
"I'm going to work on my manuscript for a little while. You stay here and I'll visit you later and then we can make up for lost time." He kisses him gently on the cheek and leaves the room.
