Title: A Single Tear Disclaimer: I own nothing. The song is Avril Lavigne's and so forth.. Rating: PG just to be safe. Notes: Just a small songficish thing. The next chapter will be from Yuki's POV. I'm not sure how far i wanna take this fic. I suppose it depends on my responses. *winkwink* ___________________________________________

~*Why do you always do this to me Why couldn't you just see this through me How come you act like this Like you just don't care at all Do you expect me to believe I was the only one to fall.*~

Shuichi sat in the pouring rain, all cried out, but in need of another good cry. He sniffled, giving a small hiccup and looked up into the sky. Rain hit his face harshly, blurring his vision and a single tear slid down his cheek.

(One Hour Before)

"I don't care, leave if you want! It'll just make things easier on me." the blonde cried, letting his voice rise. "Your nothing, but a pain anyway."

"Fine! If that's the way you feel than maybe I'll never come back!" Shuichi hollered, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Yuki said nothing, but turned his back to the younger man and walked away towards his office. Shuichi watched him go, biting back a sob and turned towards the door, reaching for the knob he paused. Could this really be the way Yuki wanted it? Did he really feel that way? Feeling a fresh onslaught of tears forming, Shuichi threw the door open and ran out.

~*I can feel I can feel you near me Even when you're far away I can feel I can feel you baby Why*~

It was raining like mad outside and the cold autumn winds whipped the rain in every direction. The pink haired man mentally kicked himself for not bringing a coat and stared up into the endless skies. Perfect, Shuichi thought, a sky that reflects my feelings. The rain mingled with his salty tears and Shuichi wiped his eyes on his sleeve. Looking around briefly, he fled the sidewalk and ran.

He ran fast and hard, but to where he was going he hadn't a clue. He'd ran out like that plenty and more than half the time he seeked condolence from his long time friend, Hiro, but this time he wasn't going to. He'd go some place nobody would find him, somewhere that even he didn't know was. Though it would have sounded silly to any logical person, Shuichi wasn't a very logical person and the plus fact that he was upset improved this situation none.

~*It's not supposed to feel this way But I need you I need you More and more each day It's not supposed to hurt this way But I need you I need you I need you Tell me Are you and me still together Tell me You think we could last forever Tell me Why*~

Shuichi was starting to tire, but he knew there was no turning back now. He urged himself to keep going. Maybe, just maybe, if he ran fast enough and far enough he could outrun it all. He could outrun his pain, his suffering, his need-- Shuichi could only hope. Panting his violet eyes darted aroud to gather his surroundings and he came to the startling realization that he was now lost. Another wave over tears swept over him and they began to flow down his cheeks. That was what he had wanted right? He wanted to leave, to disappear from everyone and everything.

Fatigue finally overwhelmed him and he fell painfully to the ground, letting out a sob. Thankfully he had veered off the roadways a while back and was now in what appeared to be a park. Forcing himself up, Shuichi stood slowly and walked clumsily to a nearby bench. He collapsed on to it and pulled his knees to his chest with a sob. Why? Why did Yuki always do this to him? Why did he always do this to himself? Shuichi's tears stopped, a few still dripping down his cheeks. He was so exhausted he could cry no more.

~*Hey Listen to what we're not saying Let's play A different game then what we're playin' Try To look at me and really see my heart Do you expect me to believe I'm gonna let us fall apart

I can feel I can feel you near me Even when you're far away I can feel I can feel you baby Why*~

(Present)

Now here he sat alone. So terribly and painfully alone. He had no idea how long it had really been, but it felt as if an eternity had passed. He wondered what Yuki was doing right now. If he was sorry in the slightest for what he said. They fought a lot, but usually neither of them meant what they were saying. This time though, this time there was something in Yuki's voice that made Shuichi nervous. What would he do if Yuki didn't ever want to see him again? How could he survive?

Shuichi sat, his mind lost in question after question. They'd been through so much, it couldn't just end this way! No, it couldn't and Shuichi wouldn't let it. He'd apologize, beg to be forgiven and maybe Yuki-- maybe Yuki would be kind enough to give him his stuff. Shuichi sighed, there was nothing he could say or do. If Yuki didn't want him back, he wouldn't be able to convince him otherwise. Letting out a dry sob, Shuichi hugged his legs closer to his chest, the rain seeming to pound down harder. What was going to happen to him and Yuki now...?

~*So go and think about

whatever you need to think about

Go on dream about

Whatever you need to dream sbout

Then come back to me

When you know just how you feel

I can feel I can feel you near me

Even when you're far away

I can feel I can feel you baby

Why*~
