Disclaimers: Does not and will not ever belong to me, unless someone wants to give it to me for Christmas. *Innocent smile*
Warnings: Um…once again attempted LIME ACTION!!! (It's best not to ask)
Notes: Umm…Yeah. It's a YukixShuichi interlude. Don't kill me for lack of Tatsuha and Ryuichi action.

I sighed happily to myself as I lied on the floor of the living room I shared with Yuki, head rested on his shoulder comfortably as he continued to stared up at the ceiling. It was around ten PM, but neither of us had to work tomorrow, so we didn't have to worry about it. I lived for moments like these, the ones where we just lied around and held each other, it was nice. Yuki would never admit to it, but I think he liked it too. He even bought a bunch of cushions so we could lie together like this. I didn't like lying on the couch with other people; it made it really uncomfortable and squished.
I ran fingers through his hair lazily and he did the same with mine. However, no matter how much I was enjoying every minute with Yuki, I still couldn't help but be a little uneasy. I'd just sort of ditched Tatsuha on Ryuichi and run back home. I should have at least told Ryuichi to call Tohma or something. I would feel bad if Tohma, Mika, Yuki, or whoever worried about him because I wanted to go home. Then again, why wouldn't I? It was the longest break I was going to get for a while, I wanted to enjoy it.
"What's wrong?" I blinked a couple times and stopped moving while I thought about what was going on. "You're thinking about something, that's not normal. So, what's wrong?"
"Just because I'm thinking why do you think something's wrong? I think sometimes, too," I asked quietly, not wanting to ruin things. Really, did he have to bring it up?
"You don't bother dwelling too much over the good things, you tell me about one and then go on to another. So, what could have your attention so badly that you're actually dwelling on it?" I sighed and squirmed a little so I could get closer to Yuki, moving my head between his shoulder and neck, causing him to squirm a bit to get comfortable again.
"Nothing, really. I was just wondering if I should have told Ryuichi to call Tohma and tell him Tatsuha's with him. We kind of forgot to call Tohma last night. I don't want him to worry." Yuki sighed and moved his arm to wrap around my waist instead.
"I should have known. Tohma won't worry. Tatsuha's 16, he can take care of himself, Tohma knows that." I sighed and continued to play with Yuki's hair. Tatsuha'd taken a picture of us like this once, as a bribe, but I stole it from him. It's my favorite; Yuki looks so sweet and adorable in it. It's a one of a kind shot.
"If I was gone for two days without calling, would you worry about me?" I asked softly. I wasn't sure if I wanted Yuki to hear me or not, so I'd be satisfied if I got an answer or not.
"You'd call me if you were going to be ten minutes late." I pouted and tugged on his hair lightly. I'd grown into the habit of doing that when I was angry with him, but not enough to really be MAD, you know? "Yes," he finally answered and I smiled happily, hugging him as best I could without moving too much.
"You're not just saying that because you think I want to hear it?" I asked, a little skeptical. Yuki gave into me sometimes only to get me to shut up, especially at times like this. I wanted a TRUTHFUL answer this time.
"I'd worry about you," he answered after a while, tightening his arm around my waist. "Would you worry about me?" I smiled and nodded happily, kissing his cheek. I could have sworn he was smiling but I doubted it. Yuki just didn't smile like that; he had to be REALLY happy. "Then let's leave it at that then," he offered as I lowered back down to rest my head on his shoulder, his hand burying itself in my back pocket as we lied there, daydreaming. At least, I was daydreaming. Who knew what Yuki was thinking? "Shuichi?" I blinked a couple times before leaning up on my elbow's to look at his face. The moon was fairly full and the window was large enough that it lit the room considerably. At least, it was enough for me to see him, seeing as we had the lights off. "Tell me you love me," he almost ordered and I smiled, sitting up and moving to sit on his stomach. I hadn't gained all THAT much weight, but it was enough for me. However, I didn't think Yuki would notice it.
"I love you and you're perfect and all I want in the world is to be near you…and to be able to continue singing forever," I finished truthfully. It didn't sound half as sweet with the little add on, but Yuki formed the smallest, most adorable smile on his face afterwards and I knew he understood. I couldn't lie to him, ever. I hope he knew that.
"Thank you." he took my face in his hands and ran his thumbs over my cheek gently. It was wonderful, having him touch me so gently. It was like nothing else in the world mattered, or ever could again. I hadn't even noticed I'd been moving until his lips covered mine and my eyes slid shut softly on their own. I opened my mouth for him when he licked at my lips softly. It was perfect, slow and gentle. I knew he was watching me the whole time, but I couldn't open my eyes. I'd much rather enjoy things through the feeling, not the sight.
"Yuki…" I couldn't help it, I was happy. There was NO describing just how perfect things were at that moment. He didn't say anything, just sat there. HE wasn't waiting for anything more, and he wasn't doing anything more. He was just looking at me, almost like he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Was my shirt on backwards or something? I looked normal when I looked in the mirror this morning.
After a small bit of peaceful silence I pressed my face against his palm gently. "I love you so very much, I don't know what I'd do without you." I felt like crying, for no reason in particular. Things were going perfect, so why were the tears welling up when I spoke? Why was there that lump in my throat?
"Me either…" he offered softly, almost a whisper as he wiped at the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes any second. "Don't cry." I didn't. The tears stopped and I just sat there with my face pressed against his palm. "I won't leave you so long as I can help it, Shuichi. You couldn't survive by yourself."
"Could so," I offered just above a whisper and kissed him softly, covering his hands with mine. "I just wouldn't want to," I finished, as we pulled apart, smiling slightly. We stayed like that for a while, just staring at one another and kissing each other softly whenever we felt like it.
Not to long after we'd started the phone rung and I sighed again, getting up to answer it. I was in no rush to answer the phone, but I did want to go back to what I'd been doing, so I bet I sounded a little bit rude when I answered the phone, crawling and sitting backwards on the couch to do so.
"Hello?"
"Hiya Shu-chan!" I heard the cheerful voice announce through the other end of the phone. Only ONE person…
"Hello Ryuichi," I greeted and he giggled a little bit.
"Hi. Um…I know it's late and I'm sorry since I probably woke you, since you sounded upset when you answered the phone na no da. But, I just wanted to tell you that Tatsuha is staying with me tonight. I already called Tohma and he said I should call Yuki and Shuichi to make sure they don't worry na no da." I nodded and glanced over my shoulder at Yuki, who was already standing and looking rather displeased about the phone call.
"Nah, we were awake. Just a little bit busy, sorry. Thanks for calling, though." I could almost see Ryuichi nodding happily from the other side of the phone line.
"No problem na no da! He's asleep right now and I think I'm going to go to bed too," he answered and something finally clicked in my head.
"Ryuichi! Did you two…?
"No na no da!" he cut me off, sounding almost panicked. "I wouldn't DO that na no da! Not to Tatsuha! He's being so very very NICE to me na no da. I really like him," he answered softly from the other end.
"That's good to hear. He's a nice person. Um…Ryuichi, I have to go."
"Okay. Talk to you later Shu-chan!" he cheered and I just nodded before hanging up the phone.
"That was…the brat?"
"No, Ryuichi. He wanted to tell us Tatsuha was staying over at his place, just in case we were worried about him," I answered, turning and sitting on the couch right ways. Yuki didn't really like it when I sat backwards on his couch, he said it ruined it. I blinked as he reached a hand out to me and took it slowly.
"Come on," he stated and pulled me up off the couch, leading me to his room. I let him lead me there. I made a mental note to pick up the cushions later as we walked over them.
I couldn't stop myself from giggling even the tiniest bit as he laid me down softly, hovering over me.
"If he's not coming back here this time…" I smiled and reached up to run fingers through Yuki's hair softly. I loved the feel of it, for some reason. I'd have been afraid to touch him like this when we first met. Anything soft and sweet like this was forbidden to me at first.
"…then we can do anything we want," I finished for him and he nodded, brushing my own hair back from my eyes. I blinked a couple times as something shined in the corner of my eye and I looked over at it, reaching for it when I found I couldn't see what it was in the lack-of light.
"What's that?" he asked as I tried to examine it, flicking on a light so I could see it better. It was a picture (I'd figured that out a while ago) of what looked a little bit like Yuki in that photo he'd shown me and someone else.
"A picture," I offered as I turned it to face him and I watched his face go blank before softening again, taking to picture away from me gently. "What's it of?" I asked after a short while, tugging on his sleeve to get his attention as he sat up.
"Me and my brother when we were little. That used to be our hide-out when we were little," he pointed out as I stared at it. To me it looked like nothing more than a couple blankets draped over chairs, but I guess it must have been more than that. "We'd build it and pretend we were out in the middle of the wild. Surprised he still has this. Mika took it one day, she said we were being 'too cute' in there." I smiled happily and ran my finger along the frame, as close to Yuki's face as I could get.
Sighing he placed the picture frame back where I'd found it and turned off the light, laying down next to me and wrapping an arm around my waist. "Can we just sleep tonight?" He asked softly and I nodded, making myself more comfortable and resting my head on his shoulder again. I was perfectly content the way I was.

Why is this here, you might ask? Well, EVERYONE needs their daily amount of YukixShuichi, right? Besides, I was hoping to torture you all with a bit of non-TatsuhaxRyuichi buildings. ^_^ I'm just evil like that. If you want more TatsuhaxRyuichi/RyuichixTatsuha you'd be better off reviewing. Reviews give me motivation to write faster…that and ukyou's threats… *Feels bad begging for them but is desperate for reviews*
And yes, I know this chapter is very short…
