Give Me A Reason by AngelicHana
Sayonara
"Honto ne!"
Shuichi look at Yuki with bright eyes. Yuki can't help but to smile at Shuichi's excitement.
"Would I lie? Now go get dress before I leave without you."
Shuichi smile at Yuki sweetly. "I know you won't do that. I'm going to dress now!" Shuichi reach up and bit Yuki's ear before dashing into the bathroom. Blushing, Yuki glare at the close door of the bathroom before breaking into another smile.
"Baka."
"I wonder how the amusement park is like. I never went there before. Nee, Yuki. Why are you taking me there?"
Yuki's smile drop. Why Shuichi asked. Because he wants to make the last day with Shuichi memorable. Today he will either make a memory or convince the real thing to stay.
"Don't you want to? I could always go finish my book."
Shuichi rush out of the bathroom, fully clothed, and glomps onto Yuki.
"Iie, Iie Yuki! I wanna go!"
Yuki chuckle and ruffled Shuichi's hair affectionately. "Then lets go."
---------------------------------------
Yuki listen with patience (AN: o.O' Yuki patient? *_*) to Shuichi's mindless chatter as he drives to the amusement park. Once in a while Yuki would glance at Shuichi, who glued himself onto the window to admire the flying landscape. Yuki sighed in regret as he saw the entrance of the amusement park.
"Shuichi, we are here."
Shuichi squeals in delight while bouncing excitedly in his seat. "Hurry Yuki!"
Yuki smile slightly at Shuichi's enthusiasms. Carefully Yuki pulled up to a free parking space. Shuichi jumped out of the car once it stopped while Yuki took his time. Yuki put on his sunglass while Shuichi look, eye wide, at the various ride he never seen before. From the corner of his eyes a ride caught his sight. Excited Shuichi ran over to Yuki and drag him toward the ride.
"Yuki! Yuki! Lets ride that!"
Yuki glanced at the ride Shuichi pointed to and sweatdrop.
"You want to ride the merry-go-around?" Yuki ask in disbelief.
Shuichi nod happily. Yuki sighed.
"Okay. Lets get it over with."
"Yay!" Shuichi cheered. Shuichi took Yuki by the hand and proceed to drag him to the merry-go-around. The rest of the day was like this, Shuichi dragging Yuki everywhere.
"Lets go to the House of Mirror!"
"Lets go to the Haunted House!"
"I'm hungry. Lets eat!"
"Win that pink bunny for me!"
"Lets go to the roller coaster!"
"I'm thirsty."
Yuki felt a headache coming on in full force from all these rides.
"Yuki."
"Nani?"
"What is that?"
Shuichi was pointing to a small stand with curtain as doors. Yuki look at it, trying to remember what the stand does.
"I believe this is where something like pictures on stickers are taken."
Shuichi's eye lit up. "Ne ne, Yuki! Can we go take our picture? We never got our picture taken before!"
Yuki thought about it and warmed up to the idea. He did want a picture of Shuichi beautiful face...
"Ok. Lets go."
Shuichi was about to drag Yuki again but instead he found himself being drag impatiently by Yuki to the booth. Reaching the booth Yuki let Shuichi enter the before him. Staring at the screen Yuki scroll thought the various frames before choosing the one with a blue border and to Kumagorou look-a-like at the top-right and bottom-left corner. Sliding a few coins into the slot, he presses the button that starts the machine.
"Get ready."
Shuichi frowned. He was too short. He can't fully see himself on the screen. Shuichi decided there is only one thing to do. He jumped slightly. Yuki unconsciously turn his head slightly toward Shuichi.
*Snap*
----------------
Shuichi admires the newly taken pictures happily. Yuki look at the sky, admiring the sunset while unconsciously fingering the snap-shots. Though it was too silent, it was a comfortable kind.
"Shuichi, it's getting late. Want to go home?" Yuki ask, breaking the silent.
"Ok..." Shuichi trail off when something caught his interest. "Matte Yuki! Lets go on that wheel thingy before we leave!"
"Yuki look at his watch. "Its late though..."
"Onegai Yuki! I might not have another chance again." Shuichi plead with desperate eyes.
"Yuki felt his heart constrict when he caught Shuichi unconscious slip. Swallowing the lump that formed in his throat, Yuki gave in and nodded in agreement.
"Ok. Just one more ride."
Shuichi brightens and drag Yuki to the Ferris wheel. The line was pretty long and took almost an hour until their turn. Getting on one of the cart (AH: Is it call a cart?) they were slowly being lifted to the sky. Shuichi sigh happily.
"Yuki. This is so romantic..."
Yuki had to agree. The stars are shining brightly and everything is quieter high up here. Yuki look at Shuichi, who was looking at the night sky with a dreamy expression.
"Shuichi."
"Hmmm?" Shuichi turn to Yuki and smile. "Nani?"
Yuki stay silent for a moment. Then gently Yuki took Shuichi hands into his and held it tightly. Shuichi look at Yuki in surprise, for Yuki never shown such... tenderness. Recovering Shuichi smile widen and he squeeze Yuki's hand back lightly.
"What is it Yuki?"
Yuki stared for a moment longer before speaking.
"Shuichi, do you want to come again tomorrow?"
Shuichi tensed. He almost forgot that Yuki didn't know that he is leaving tonight. And he can't tell him! What should he say? Carefully Shuichi replied, praying Yuki won't notice anything wrong.
"We just went today. I don't need to go here everyday."
Yuki refuse to give up. "How about next moth then?" Yuki persist.
Shuichi is beginning to feel desperate. What should he do now? If he doesn't find some way to get out of this his secret will come out! Shuichi look at Yuki's handsome face. Truthfully he really doesn't want to leave Yuki, especially after all the time he had spent with Yuki. But he can't defy Tenkai. Not only will he get punished Yuki may too!
Yuki look sadly at Shuichi's panic and sad face, angry that he was the reason that Shuichi was in such a state. Maybe he should give up. After all it was a sin for a mere mortal to keep such a beautiful heavenly creature. Yuki could feel tears welling up in his eyes. No, he can't give up! He loves Shuichi too much to give him up. Beside he doesn't believe in God to begin with. Even if there is one he is willing to commit the sin. But now he will retreat until later tonight. Yuki finger a box inside his pocket. Turning back to Shuichi, he decides to end Shuichi's inner torment.
"Ba~ka. With a slow brain like yours you'll probably can't answer me until whenever. Tell me some other time.
Shuichi look up at Yuki with teary eyes. "Yuki..."
"Baka, what's with the sad face. You are so weird." Yuki pulled Shuichi into his embrace. "Baka..." Yuki whisper lovingly.
Shuichi sniff and hug back tightly. He whimpers slightly into Yuki's chest.
"Lets go home Shuichi."
"Hai."
--------------------------------------
Shuichi snuggle closer to Yuki, loving the warmth that Yuki gives which contradicts his cold attitude. Shuichi glance regretfully at the digital clock next to Yuki's bedside. It's 11:30 P.M. Shuichi sigh. It's time to go. Shuichi choke back his tears. He mustn't cry! He mustn't wake Yuki! Calming down Shuichi lift up his head to look at Yuki. Shuichi couldn't help but smile. Yuki look so sweet and innocent when he sleeps. Shuichi reach up and brushed back the strands of hair that have fallen on Yuki's face. Leaning up, Shuichi kiss Yuki's forehead softly before tenderly kissing his lips. He stare at his koibito's a moment longer before slowly getting up. After putting on his clothes he head toward the door. Before he left Shuichi look back.
"Gomen ne Yuki. Sayonara. Aishiteru, zutto."
As softly a possible Shuichi closed the bedroom door. Taking one last look at his 'home', Shuichi sighed. Silently Shuichi slip out of the house and into the darkness. Unknown to him he was being followed.
-----------------
Shuichi took a breath of cold air as he walk to what look like a park of some sort. (AN: The park where Shuichi and Yuki met in the TV. series!) Shuichi look at his watch. Eleven-fifty. It's almost time. Shuichi look bleakly at the sky. So this is where everything ends. Shuichi stare blankly at the moon, which was shining brightly even though some night clouds covered it. Shuichi sigh heavily. Might as well prepare.
Shuichi set himself in what look like a praying position. Slowly, glowing encryption start to surround him. Pure white wings reveal themselves from its long period of hiding, enclosing Shuichi within them. A burst of light erupted from the complete encryption. When the light fade Shuichi was left standing in the same outfit he wore when he first came to earth. Staring at his wings Shuichi reach to brush it.
"This is what I am. Nothing can change it..."Shuichi whisper sadly. Shuichi broke into a sob, his long suppressed tears falling down his delicate cheeks. He looks back at the almost clear view of the moon. "Now I have to leave in the place which I wish I belong."
"Then don't leave."
Shuichi started. He recognizes that voice! Turning around, he came face to face with the last yet first person he wants to see.
"Yuki..."
Yuki didn't say anything. He just keeps staring at Shuichi. Shuichi shook himself out of his shock.
"Yuki! What are you doing here?"
Yuki stayed silent. Instead of talking he walk up to Shuichi. Carefully Yuki hug Shuichi, as if afraid Shuichi would run if he was too forward.
"Shuichi, don't go back. Stay with me."
Shuichi eyes widen in realization. "You knew?!"
Yuki nodded. "I overheard you and your friends talking."
Then need to cry tenfold. Hot tears leak out of Shuichi eyes, dampening Yuki's coat.
"I'm sorry Yuki... I'm sorry..." Shuichi choke out over and over again.
Yuki tighten his hug. "Then don't go."
Shuichi froze. "Yuk..." Shuichi frown when something wet hit his neck. Looking up he gasp when he saw Yuki crying silently. Lifting up one of his hand Shuichi caress Yuki's wet cheek. Yuki caught Shuichi's hand and rub his cheek against it.
"Please understand. If I don't go back you might be punished. I love you too much for you to get hurt."
"I don't care. F@#k God. I choose death rather than live without you. I... I love you." Yuki whisper brokenly but fiercely.
Shuichi look at Yuki in happiness. This was the first time Yuki said 'I love you' to him. Shuichi blink in confusion when Yuki drop his hand. He watched curiously as Yuki reach inside his pocket and took out a white box. Yuki open the box, revealing a full-bloom amethyst rose with diamond wings set on a thin platinum ring. Yuki took the ring out and place the box back into his pocket. Kneeling down on one knee Yuki took Shuichi's left hand and slide the ring onto his ring finger. Shuichi breath was caught in his throat as this event unravels. His heart was pounding so fast that he thought it will leap out of his chest. Yuki kissed Shuichi's knuckles before looking back at Shuichi lovingly.
"Shuichi, you know I not the kind of man that can speak of love freely. But for you love need no word because that is all I have for you. With you life is perfect. So please don't leave or else you are taking 'love' away from me. I need you, my other half. Beside you I need nothing else. Please Shuichi. Marry me. "
Shuichi look at Yuki with happiness. Falling onto his knees, Shuichi hug Yuki by the neck.
""I also want only you. I want to stay with Yuki. I feel my soul dying at the thought of leaving you. I would rather defy heaven then to leave you. I love you too much. I want to be yours (AN: 'yours' and in husband and 'wife' relationship).
A little hope spark in Yuki's heart. "Does this mean you will stay?"
Shuichi nodded. Yuki smile, happiness filling him. Yuki kissed Shuichi softly. Be known to then their happiness was short-lived.
--------------------------------------------------
"Sir. Missionary Angel Shindo Shuichi has cut off all contact. Apparently he refuses to return back to headquarter. He sends a message saying he wishes to remain on earth with a human. Without his acknowledgement we cannot open a portal to get him back."
"Does he know what he is doing?! His defiance shall be punished!" Silence. "We have no choice but to use the TSUKI. Get it ready. Prepare to beam him up."
"Yes sir. Preparing TSUKI. Homing the target. Target locked and ready. Initiating the process in 5 4 3 2 1..."
-----------------------------------
Shuichi and Yuki were still hugging when bright light fell upon them. Surprised, Shuichi look for the source for the light. Yuki also follow the action. He blink in wonder when he saw it was the moon that causing it, more like the moonlight. Suddenly Shuichi whimpered in fear.
"No, no." Shuichi whispered fearfully.
Yuki tense when he saw a hole forming where the moon is.
"Shuichi, do you know wha..."
Yuki never got to finish when Shuichi start to levitate. Being pull out of Yuki's grasp, Shuichi start to flow with the light to the hole. Yuki stood paralyzed.
"Iya! Yuki! Tasukete!"
Yuki snap out of his stupor at Shuichi's desperate call for help. Unfortunately by that time Shuichi is in a short distance away. Seeing this, Yuki broke into a run, running after Shuichi as fast as he could.
"No. Shuichi!"
As the distance closed Yuki desperately try to reach for Shuichi outstretched hand. Yuki attempt to grab Shuichi's hand but missed. This keep happening until, finally, their fingertip touched. Their joy didn't last long as Shuichi fingers slid away when the hole gravitational power increased. Shuichi screamed for Yuki when he enters the portal. Yuki can only stare numbly as Shuichi disappeared into the hole and the portal closed.
Yuki sink onto his knees in despair. He hugs himself tightly. Shuichi is gone. Forever. Tears flowing freely, Yuki sob brokenly, calling for Shuichi to come back.
The clock struck twelve. Midnight.
