A/N: Hi guys, bisous to all my readers and esp. reviewers: TrunksBabyGirl (Whoa, you addicted? Me too.;), mirai aria (Well, Yuki didn't really get in trouble cuz of his phone this chapter. But just you wait until Mizuki founds out his new number…), Pato San (Hey, you're right. Didn't really thought about that. Only that Yuki for once has to work for the relationship.), KittyKitty (You have a good feeling. It'll happen next chapter I think.), Kaouru (Yup, poor Yuki. Go give him a hug. Actually I don't like the chara of Ayaka. That's why I made her so … stupid? Maybe it's hard to imagine that Shu and Yuki are so far apart now but Shu forgot Yuki. Would you just trust a complete stranger even if it's a friend of your friends? And suddenly he kisses you out of the blue and he obviously has secrets about your past? I don't know about you but I'd be rather suspicious and careful with my feelings.), Nyoko (I needed Ayaka to make a clean start between Yuki and Shuichi. Things were getting not so good between Yuki and Shu so now they can just pretend they just met and start anew with a white vest.), Inari K (Whaaa, too late. I decided now for a complete story plot and no surprise actions anymore – at least for me.), Dearest (I missed you reading it, too. *bawl* So sweet!), Showndra Ridge (Nah, Yuki is going to fix things in a major cool way next chappie – I think. He's Shu's hero after all.), Devona Wolfe (omg, everybody cries for Yuki. Don't forget he's a tough guy!!!! He can take on anything to get his baka back!)

Chapter 14 : Questions and answers

Tuuut tuuuut tuuuut. Click.

"Hello, Tohma Seguchi is speaking."

"It's me."

Silence. Yuki could practically feel Tohma's confusion.

"Oh, hello Yuki. Did you get a new number?"

A snort. "How about a new phone?"

"Oh."

Yuki rolled his eyes. There he was sitting in the dark of his appartment hoping the blonde could help out of his mess like usually and there the great Tohma Seguchi was baffled by the simple fact that he'd gotten a different phone not that he had much of a choice in it. The blonde had just dropped off Shuichi at Seguchi's mansion and was now hoping to find some advise in his older friend.

"So how did it go?"

Yuki sighed before he let it all out in a rush. "How did it go? First we're talking, then I'm kissing him because I thought he wanted it too but it was all a misunderstanding then Mika showed up and was getting all weird on us. Mizuki called me constantly about some important meeting I still don't know which one she was talking about. Then to top it of Ayaka shows up messing things totally up with telling Shuichi that I'm hiding things and well he got even more upset than he already was." Yuki took a long draw from his cigarette to calm his frazzled nerves.

"But you did manage to get along with him again, didn't you? I mean he was pretty content when I saw him in the living room some time ago."

"Really?"

"Hm."

Yuki let out a relieved breath thanking whatever god existed for his luck this evening. "I took him out to a dinner under friends to make up the afternoon to him."

"Under friends?"

Yuki could hear the astonishment in his friends voice. "Yes, we agreed to start anew and so we are friends now or at least he's getting to know me." Yuki rubbed his tired eyes then he asked quietly. "Do you think he'll ever remember? I mean sometimes I think he feels very content with me and he even remembered that I had another car before though it was rather unconciously."

"Don't give up, Eiri. I'm sure everything will work out. One could say now it's your turn to safe your relationship. By the way you kissed him?" Tohma asked incrediously. "I thought you agreed to be friends?"

Yuki was very grateful Tohma couldn't see his face right now. "That was before we agreed to be friends and I said we had a misunderstanding!!! I thought maybe he remembered or whatever, I just didn't think, I-"

"followed your impulse." Finished Tohma for him. "Well, obviously it speaks for him that he's not running from you now."

'Was that supposed to be a joke??!' Yuki frowned before saying seriously. "Tohma, he was freaking."

"That usually happens when you are confronted with feelings or things the human brain registeres as abnormal. Shuichi grew up in our strict Japanese society. Of course, he's horrified." Tohma concluded.

"Did you do some research?" Yuki asked amazed.

"Yes, of course. How can I help you otherwise?"

Yuki smiled shaking his head.'Trust Tohma to back me up and do everything to fix things. Like always.' He remembered his early teenage years. If the older blonde hadn't been there for him back in NYC it would be sure he wouldn't be sitting here today moaning over his love life.

"So Mika actually showed up?" Tohma inquired.

Yuki's ears perked up. "You knew about this?!"

"Not really but I suspected something. She was so upset about the havoc Ryuichi and Shuichi were creating together she had settled her mind on at least getting rid of one of them. She had already called Noriko, K, Sakano and whoever else but nobody had the time nor the space to take Ryuichi in. So she turned to Shuichi and decided to give you both a push in the right direction. At least it sounded like that yesterday evening. I was half asleep already so I'm not entirely sure."

Yuki frowned. "Typical, I was already wondering if she'd hit her head as well." He said sarcastically.

Tohma decided to ignore that and asked instead. "So what are you going to do now?"

"I invited him to come with me to Kyoto. Maybe it will help him things to remember. Though if there are anymore interruptions I'm sure I'll commit murder." Yuki ground out.

"Now now. I will make sure that everyone is occupied, okay?! When will you pick up Shuichi?"

"I guess around nine."

"By the way did he already told you he decided to sing at the charity festival?" Tohma inquired.

Yuki raised his eyebrows. "No, but I thought you cancelled all upcoming engagements."

"I did but he asked me to let him sing. Only this once. So I agreed. I mean sure he needs rest but he's not the type to sit around and wait around for a miracle and thanks god he didn't forget how to sing."

Yuki heard the relief and had to surpress a snort. "Okay, thank you Tohma. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Eiri." Yuki disconnected the call and typed in another number.

"Moshi moshi." A deep male voice greeted from the onther end.

"Say Nagano, did Ayaka came on her own behalf or is this your meddling?" Yuki asked coldly Shuichi's best friend he had accepted more or less friendly into a circle of people he had to share his baka with.

A sigh was heard. "Don't tell me she really showed up in the park?" Hiro groaned.

"Yes, she did. And with one hell of a temper. Just what is going on in that woman's head. She almost messed things up beyond repair." Yuki barked into the phone.

"Calm down, Uesugi. Maybe it was bad timing and she should have spoken to you in private but actually right now I think she hit a nerve, didn't she?!"

Yuki scowled. 'Damn that man. How does he always knows what's going on between Shuichi and me?' "How do you want to know that?"

"You forgot obviously I'm his best friend. Shuichi didn't forget about me meaning he still shows up on my doorstep moaning about you and whatever stupid things you did. Anyway I hope you remember what will happen when you make him unhappy again."

"Yes." Yuki rolled his eyes. 'Overprotective idiot.'

"I will take care of Ayaka. I have a notion about what she told you both and admit it Uesugi, she isn't that far away from the truth. Now, if you would just make the same effort Shuichi made for you I'm sure everything will work out just fine."

Silence.

"Goodnight, Uesugi." Hiroshi hung up.

Yuki let the phone fall beside him. How come everybody was so convinced that everything would solve itself? That might work for them or for Shuichi but had it ever worked for him? And can you fix a relationship if one of them doesn't even know he was in one?

The blonde shook his head. There were just too many questions and not one satisfying answer. 

********************

Hi guys, to those who have been moaning about my more or less absent plot line. I fixed this meaning I sat down and thought how to progress/end the story. If my calculation is correct the story will be over with the 20th chapter which will be the epilogue. So no more stupid fooling around. ^_^
