Short Chapter, I know. But it's late and I have work tomorrow. Thanks again
for all the responses. I really enjoy them. And now.number three.The Larch!
Shuichi and Hiro walked into the NG building iin silence. What Shuichi had told Hiro made sense, if someone else had been speaking the words. It just sounded...different coming from Shuichi.
Perhaps he's finally grown-up, Hiro thought.
Just then a screeching comet flew out of no where and glomped Shuichi.
"SHU-CHAN! SHU-CHAN!" it shrieked.
"RYUICHI!" Shuichi shouted back in the same high pitched tone. The two men were bouncing off the walls in such glee at seeing each other.
Maybe I spoke too soon about the "growing up" thing, Hiro thought with a sigh.
"Shui-chan, guess what Kumagoro and I saw up a tree this morning?" Ryuichi said, barely containing his glee.
"What did you see?"
"A Monkey, Na No Da!"
"A Monkey?" Both Shuichi and Hiro were confused.
"Hai Hai!" Ryuichi said smiling. "A big blonde monkey. Me, Kuma and Tohma were walking by the cherry blossom tree outside when a big blonde monkey appeared in the tree. Tohma tried to talk to it, but it was mean." Ryuichi pouted and held onto Kuma tight. Shuichi stood there, stunned.
"A mean, blonde monkey?!?" Shuichi turned around to face his friend. "Hiro, you don't think it could have been-"
Hiro was baffled. All he could do was just shrug. Shuichi looked anxious, a bit scared and...was that a glimmer of hope in his eyes? Was Shuichi hoping Yuki was the monkey Ryuichi was talking about? The idea seemed ridiculous.
"Come on, Shuichi. It couldn't have been him. Yuki Eiri doesn't climb trees."
"You're right. I'm stupid to think he would care enough to come down here in the first place, not to mention evesdropping in a tree. It's just.." Shuichi stopped and looked down.
"Just what?" Hiro prompted.
"I was just hoping he heard what I said. Maybe...maybe it would change things."
Hiro didn't know what to say. There was nothing he could do to help his friend. So he just leaned over and gave Shuichi a hug.
"I'm sure everthing will work out for the best." Hiro whispered into his ear.
"I hope so." Shuichi started to sniff. Hiro knew he was crying.
"Come on Kuma, let's give Shu-chan a hug too." Said Ryuichi a bit more serious then before. For a few moments the three stood in a tight embrace. Shuichi felt safe. He had two friends that would love and support him no matter what. Why was it, then, that he chose the exact opposite type of person to fall in love with?
"Ahem" a deep voice said. There was a 'click' sound heard.
The group turned around to see a tall blonde man pointing a gun at all three of them. "I hate to break up this party, but Seguchi Tohma wants to see Shindo in his office." The man said briskly.
Shuichi gulped. "Hai, Mr. K. Hiro tell Fujisaki that I'm going to be late after all."
Hiro nodded. Shuichi turned to walk away when-
"WAIT UP! Ryuichi and Kuma want to come too!!!" Ryuichi launched himself in Shuichi's direction. All of a sudden there was a loud bang and smoke filled the room.
When the smoke cleared, Ryuichi lay on the floor, stunned. Mr. K's gun was still smoking in his hand. "Tohma said Shuichi was to come alone. Be thankful those were just blanks, Ryuichi."
K turned and walked out leaving behind two frightened musicians and one dazed pop star.
I walked around Tokyo aimlessly before I headed back to my apartment. I was so exhausted. I just needed to take a little nap. So I climbed into my cold bed and quickly fell asleep.
I can't wait til I get home. I have so much to tell him! I'm so excited! I can't keep myself from bouncing up and down. Wait til he sees what I wrote. He's going to be so proud of me. He's going to take me up in his arms and say, "What a good job you've done today. You deserve a reward!"
I'm smiling. The thought of him always makes me smile. It's this wonderful warm feeling I have in the pit of my stomach. Like everything is beautiful with the world. Nothing is wrong or broken. It's just, happy.
I walk into our apartment. I love saying 'our' apartment. Even though I sort of moved in on my own, he didn't kick me out. Now it's our home. I look around and I hear noises coming from the study room. He must still be working, I say to myself. Hehe, I'll sneak up on him and give him a great surprise.
I tip toe into the room. His back is to me. Hehe, I laugh to myself. I'm sneaky. I run up behind him and glomp him as hard as I can.
"SHUICHI!!" I scream.
He doesn't even flinch. In one quick move he manages to un hook my arms from around his waste and push me to the side. "Baka." He says in a cold tone. "What are you doing here?"
I giggle. "Oh, Shuichi! You know what I'm doing here. I had such a fun day at work today. Me and Tohma were working on this chapter, and I think it's the best yet. Could you read it for me?"
He turns around and stares into my eyes, his cold purple meeting my warm yellow. "Why on earth would I want to read your pathetic attempt at writing?" he spits out at me. I gulp. I hate it when he gets like this.
"Shuichi" I whine.
He ignores me and stands up to go to the kitchen. I follow, of course. I can't leave my Shuichi alone. "Well, if you won't read it, would you at least come to the book sigining today?" I ask nervously.
He grabs a beer from the fridge. He shouldn't be drinking. The doctor said it wasn't good for his ulcer. "Shuichi, you shouldn't really be-"
He glares in my direction. I stop. He hates it when I tell him what to do. We stand there in silence, the air getting uncomfortable by the minute. "So, uh.will you come tonight?" I ask him again.
"No." is all he says as he walks back into his study.
"Shuichi, but why?"
"I hate your books. I hate your writing. It's childish and worthless, not to mention trite and unoriginal. So leave your whining outside this door. I have more important things to do than worry about your silly book sigining." He slams the door in my face, leaving me by myself in the cold living room. I slump down to the floor, my tears already flowing down my face.
"Shuichi" I whimper. Why does he do this to me every time? Why can't he just say a few kind words every now and then? Why does he have to put me down? I love him, but is that enough? All I want is him. Each time my Shuichi does this I lose a part of myself. I begin to cry louder.
Suddenly the door opens and Shuichi walks over to me. "Baka." He whispers to me, gently. He dries my tears with his fingers. "I didn't want to hurt you, but you're pretty when you cry." He sings softly to me.
"Shuichi" I look up into his purple eyes, a little softer than before. "Is that a new song you're working on?"
He just looks at me intensely, my knees start to shake. "What do you think?" he asks, continuing to hum the song. "If you knew how much I loved you you would run away." He starts to kiss his way down my neck. I shiver. I loved when my Shuichi sang to me. "But when I treat you bad it only makes you want to stay." He started to take off my shirt. "I didn't want to hurt you baby but you're pretty when you cry."
"I love you Shuichi." I whispered into his ear before we made it to the bedroom.
"You're mine." He whispered back more aggressively. "Yuki Eiri."
P.S. The song Shuichi is singing is "Pretty When You Cry" by Vast. I suggest you all check it out. ^_~
