End of It All
Disclaimer: I do not own Gravitation or any of its characters. This fic is written for purposes of amusement only. I am not gaining any profits from this. Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda...
Warnings: Shounen ai Eiri+Shuichi, SERIOUS angst and a really really bad simile cause I ran out of phrases to use and I want to finish this.
Author's Note: I'm sorry about taking so long between chapters. And I'm sorry about the shortness of this ending. I'm allergic to angsty endings even though I'm at my best when the mood of my writing's at it's worst. If you want a happy ending, then I suggest you skip this altogether and go read the happy-sappy version of the ending (which is longer, and better written IMO). This is the sequel to "Back to the Beginning".
Here's the fic: ~*~*~*~
The cold tiles of the kitchen floor were not comfortable by and stretch of the word and before long, Shuichi's body was aching from being curled on top of it. Forcing his body to obey, he got up and placed the rapidly cooling cup of coffee on the counter and turned to settle things once and for all with Eiri.
Shock and fear no longer gripping his heart, Shuichi was rational enough now to realize that Eiri no longer posed a threat to him physically. How he would feel emotionally during and after confronting Eiri on the matter at hand, was another story.
Shuichi stepped around his luggage and opened the front door. The man he was seeking was sitting against the wall beside the door, knees drawn up to his chest looking like a lost little boy.
Not leaving the safety of the front door, Shuichi spoke up. "Yuki, I can't take this anymore. I never knew what to expect from you, but this is too much. I...I'm leaving, for good."
Forcing his tears back, Shuichi grabbed his luggage, walking out of the apartment and out of Eiri's life forever, his footsteps echoing down the halls like whispers from the past.
~*~*rare middle of chapter scene change to Hiro's apartment*~*~
"Eiri was looking for you." Hiro told his best friend, not sure if it was what Shuichi wanted to hear.
"I know." Shuichi replied, "I met up with him back at his apartment." All this time and he still only thought of the apartment as Eiri's, never his own and now that would remain forever.
"And?" Hiro asked knowing that he should pursue the subject, but not being able to stop himself.
"It's over," came the answer. "Yuki and I are over. Things were never very happy between us and it's just gotten worse. This may have been said once too many times already, but perhaps Eiri and I were never meant to be. Just...perhaps."
