Shuichi sat against the wall trying in vane to think of a new song, but he kept think of Eiri, and his nightmares. He shivered, at the thought of the frightened look that appeared in his lover's eyes, when he woke from those terrors that plagued his sleeping world.
He could hear the clicking of computer keys down the hall. Eiri had been in there for days. "I hope he isn't turning back into his old cranky, workaholic self again. I was just getting used to this new Yuki....Eiri."
Eiri sat before his computer, his fingers raced across the keys as if he were possessed. The flashes of hands all over him. Evil hate filled eyes. The pain. They all filled his mind. The only way he knew how to get rid of them was to get them out of him. It's what he had been doing for years. "Wait, how do I know that?" His fingers paused for a moment, before they started moving again, this time faster then before.
He didn't know how long he had been in there. His back was stiff, his fingers cramped, but he didn't care. He barely even knew what he was typing.
People laughing, at a younger form of himself, his mother dieing. Pain, loneliness, hatred, anger, fear. All these emotions washed threw him, as his fingers pressed small keys.
He stopped suddenly, for the first time he realized, truly realized that the things he was seeing in his mind eye, were himself. They were his memories. As the sorrow washed over his soul, he wished to once again forget.
The door slid open behind him, "Eiri, are you alright. I was wandering if you were hungry? You've been here for almost 4 days."
Eiri jumped, turning in his chair, he smiled. "I'm starving. What do you say we go out to eat? I have something to tell you."
Shuichi returned his loves smile and the two walked out of the apartment together. Shuichi couldn't help but smile the whole night. Everything seemed so perfect.
