Sanity's Boundary
Part I: Discovery – Chapter 3
Crimson-colored eyes glared into the sky from a balcony's view. He smiled, noticing that his plans were going better than ever.
Soon, his lovely child of darkness would be awaked. His beautiful, now pale, skin would be stained with the blood of unsuspecting victims. He would be horrified and try to kill himself…but it wouldn't work. With first drink he would become immortal and be his forever.
He chuckled at the thought of the strawberry-tasting boy being his for eternity.
Eternity and beyond …

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
Someone knocks on the door and Yuki frowns, looking up from his laptop. "Answer that!"
"I can't! I'm in the shower; why don't you answer it for once?" Shuichi's voice rings from the bathroom. Yuki sighs; at this rate, he wasn't going to get his newest book finished by the deadline. He gets up out of his chair and walks to the door. "Who is it?"
"Asagawa Yukito. I'm here to talk with Shindo-san."
Yuki opens the door and heads back to his office, "It's for you!"
Yukito steps into the apartment and removes his glasses, revealing beautiful crimson eyes. He shuts the door behind him and pockets the sunglasses, waiting for Shuichi to appear. Yuki, before entering the office, turns around towards the other man. "He's taking a shower. He should be out soon enough." Yukito nods and the office door closes. Making himself at home, the silver-haired man takes a seat on the couch, checking out his surroundings.
Soon enough, Shuichi emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and his skin slightly damp. "Who was it at the---" He stops his sentence when he spots Yukito sitting on the couch, staring at him. Blushing he retreats to the bedroom to put on something more appropriate. Yukito grins as the sight sinks through his mind. The boy looked relatively better with the towel he thought.
"Ah…gomen ne. I didn't know anyone was out here." Shuichi says as he emerges out of the bathroom.
Yukito shakes his head and smiles, "I didn't mind in the least…Shindo-san."
Shuichi coughs lightly and flushes, "Ano…is there any reason for you being here, Asagawa-san?"
"Yukito"
Shuichi starts, "Eh?"
"Call me Yukito. I don't like formalities, even with my fellow employees." The man states, smoothly.
Shuichi grins, "If that's the case then my name is Shuichi."
Yukito grins, "No deal. Well, getting back to the point, I came here to ask if we could perhaps go out to lunch. Maybe we could discuss the rescheduling of your band's photo shoot? That is, if you want."
"No problem. I'm getting bored sitting out the house anyway. Yuki's got a deadline for his novel so he's no help. I'll go tell Yuki that I'll be out, just wait here for a moment." He exits the room and Yukito smiles to himself.

The two co-workers stop at a new fast food joint named 'The Chicken Shack' [1] and walk in.
"This is the newest restaurant in town. I try to drag Yuki here when I don't feel like eating at those fancy restaurants or his home cooked Italian and stuff like that. He hates fast foods though; says they're unhealthy. How can food be unhealthier than all those bears, wine, and cigarettes?! I try to make him quit his bad habits, but he just doesn't listen!" He stops for a second and blushes. "I must be talking too much, ne?"
Yukito shakes his head, "Not at all. I find your musings quite entertaining, Shindo-san."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Shuichi and Yukito laugh as they approach the apartment building in which Shuichi lives with Yuki. It was early afternoon and they'd just returned from a lunch at a fast food restaurant. During the time, they had rescheduled BAD LUCK's photo shoot, planned for others, and even had a nice time talking about subjects other than work. They stop in front of the building and Shuichi smiles gratefully.
"Thanks for the lunch, Yukito."
The photographer flips a lock of silver hair over his shoulder. "No problem Shindo-san, the day was pretty enjoyable," he smiles. "Especially with you around…"
The vocalist flushes and puts a hand behind his head. "Erm…yeah. See ya…" He turns around and was about to open the door when a pale hand grabs his wrist. "What---" His words are cut off as a pair of lips falls down on his own. The lips trail down his jaw onto the nape of his neck, lapping at the flesh. The vocalist's eyes narrow and he pushes Yukito away from him.
"Wha..what the hell are you thinking?!"
Yukito grins and licks his lips, "Did you know that you taste of strawberry, Shindo-san?"
Shuichi flushes and backs away slowly, "I should get going now. See you at work…" With that, he opens the front door and rushes inside.
Yukito just chuckles to himself and puts on his sunglasses. "I'm rather hungry now…time to go eat."
That's it for that chappy…. -.- I've been so busy all this time…
