Authors Notes: Ok, so you are most likely going to not be so happy with me for this chapter becuase it sort of doesn't continue the dream. Though there is a good reason for this. we got new computers for Christmas and we set them up. Unfortunately the one with my story and the next chapter is currently unplugged and doesn't have a monitor. But I said I'd have something on Christmas day and you might be able to get something about the next part of the dream from this chapter. Plus not much angst at all! We may be getting to actuall romance soon! Yippee ne? Anyway as soon as we get another monitor I'll finish the second half of the dream and try to get it done before I go back to school which is around the second week of January. So see you then. Also thanks for the reviews as always. It makes me happy to know that people actually like my story.
Disclaimer: Don't own Gravitation or characters. They belong to someone else...Rats. And don't bother suing me 'cause I don't own much poor pseudo college student here. heh. Well enjoy this chapter.

Interlude
It was after rehearsal and Shuichi and Hiro were leaving the building to go to lunch.
Hiro looked over at his friend who after only one night went from as depressed as he could get to
his old happy and bouncy self he used to be. Something major had happened and he was incredibly
curious.
"Alright Shuichi, what happened last night?" Hiro said as the two of them sat down at
the table in the restraunt.
"What do you mean what happened?" Shuichi asked with a quiZical look on his face. He
actually had no idea what Hiro was talking about.
"Why the sudden change in your attitude? One day your miserable, the next your happy."
Hiro was starting to get impatient. He wanted to know what was going on.
"Oh, that. Well, last night a had a really nice dream that's all... speaking of that I
need to remeber to go talk to Sakuma-san later. I have to ask him some questions. You know he
makes really good hot chocolate? I forgot to thank him for it before I left and now I feel
awful." Shuichi replied definitely seeming to want to get away from his dream. Which
unfortunately made Hiro even more curious.
"Shuichi...." Hiro said trying to get more information out of him. He wasn't sure if it
would work or not but he could at least try.
"Sorry, Hiro. It's just it was an odd dream that ended even weirder. Maybe someday I'll
tell it to you, but I just don't think I could right now. Please forgive me." Shuichi pleaded
with his puppy dog eyes. It was true that he had an odd dream and he didn't want to tell Hiro
but for more reasons than he would ever state. He just really needed to talk to Ryuichi about it
first. So Hiro and Shuichi sat in the restraunt and ate peacefully without discussing the dream
he had. However, it was on both of their minds and would probably stay there for the rest of the
night.
Hiro and Shuichi finished eating without too much problem and said goodnight. Hiro asked
Shuichi if he wanted a ride but Shuichi declined saying he'd rather take a walk before going
home. Apperantly Hiro didn't remeber the fact that Shuichi talked about seeing Ryuichi, which he
was quite grateful for. More interogation from his friend may have been too much for him. So
Shuichi started walking towards Ryuichi's apartment to speak with him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ryuichi was sitting in his living room coloring in a coloring book while watching a
random show on tv. He did this because he didn't want to think and it was a nice escape from the
reality of having responsibilites. It took him a couple of minutes to notice that there was a
noise coming from outside door. He quickly got up and hid the coloring books and crayons and
walked over to the door.
"Who is it?" Ryuichi asked into the speaker with a quizical look on his face trying to
figure out who would want to come see him at this time of night, most people didn't even know he
lived here outside of his close friends and most of them should have been at home.
"It's Shindo Shuichi." Replied to Ryuichi's questioning voice. He had hoped Ryuichi
wouldn't be mad at him for showing up uninvited but he REALLY needed to talk to him. The dream
that he had was so odd that he couldn't just ignore it. Plus he had felt so good after it he had
just had to figure something out. If nothing else then for Yuki's sake, well dream Yuki's sake
anyway.
"Alright, come on up." Ryuichi said trying to keep the excitment out of his voice. He
knew he shouldn't be quite so happy to have someone come see him. But truth be told he was
lonely and bored and wanted someone to talk to. And Shuichi was a definite joy to have around.
Just being around him was enough to boost Ryuichi's spirits. He just hoped that Shuichi wasn't
as sad as he was last night. He would feel bad that he couldn't do anything to help the boor boy
out, there was just something about Shuichi that made him care for the boy.
Shuichi headed up the stairs to Ryuichi's apartment, feeling lighter each step closer. He
would finally be able to talk to the person he had been thinking about all day. Though he wasn't
sure how exactly he would explain why he came without seeming too strange, but he'd figure that
out as he went along. Hopefully that would work.
Shuichi entered the apartment and all the thoughts he had suddenly disapeared as he saw
Ryuichi. Though this time he saw him alot differently than last night. Amazing how one thing
could change his entire perspective about a person.
"Hi Shu-chan! How are you? Are you feeling better? Would you like something to eat I
was just about to make dinner, or we could color, that could be fun or did you have someting else
in mind?" Ryuichi asked at about a million miles an hour, or at least that was what it seemed to
Shuichi barely catching any of his questions.
"Um, hi Sakuma-san. How are you doing?" Shuichi asked slowly and cautiously, not sure
how to answer Ryuichi's questions.
Ryuichi seemed to pick up on this and slowed himself down and started acting a bit older.
"Well I'm pretty good. How are you? And would you like something to eat or drink?"
"Water would be nice if you don't mind Sakuma-san. And I'm doing a lot better. Oh
I would also like to thank you for last night and the hot chocolate. You really made me
feel better." Shuichi said
quietly while staring at the floor.
Ryuichi beamed at the comment. He was happy to make his friend feel better. And it was
even better that he came back to thank him. Ryuichi skipped over to the kitchen and grabbed a
glass and filled it up with water. He handed it to Shuichi and had him sit down.
"I'm glad that I could help Shu-chan. It makes me sad to see you that way. It's
always nice to see my friends happy. Was that the only reason you came over today, so you
could thank me?" Ryuichi asked silently hoping it wasn't. If it was Shuichi might want to
leave sooner and
he didn't really want to be alone again.
"Actually I wanted to talk to you about something. I had a dream last night and I
wan't you to hear it and tell me what you think. It kind of involves you and I thought you
may be able to clear something up for me."
Ryuichi was delighted. He was in one of Shuichi's dreams. There had to be something
special about that! He collected his thoughts and spoke carefully. "Alright, go ahead."
Shuichi then began to recall his dream to Ryuichi in as much detail as possible trying
not to miss anything.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ryuichi had listened to every detail closely trying to understand the pink haired boy's
dream without tearing up too much. It was such a sad image to see and he could do nothing to
help him. But because of the boy's disposition the dream apparently got better.
"So what happened after you stepped through the darkness?" Ryuichi asked unable to keep
himself from doing so. He wanted to know how it got better and what roll he played in it.
"Well...." Shuichi began.
TBC...
Well there you go. One more chapter for the dream and then things start to get much happier! ^_^ Should be fun. And please whatever review you have for me I'm willing to take. Also thank you for the people who read this story but don't review. I know you're out there and I'm grateful for any kind of audience!
~Ja.
