Dammit Tia, keep the characters in ROLE! Gah! Anyway…I'm SO sorry that I took so long to update, I feel really bad about it But I was a little upset a few minutes ago over a friend at school, so I figured I should write something. Don't ask how that logic works, because you're getting an update. Okay…first I need a vague plot….

Day Seven

The curtain in the window twitched and a flash of pink could be seen before it disappeared and the curtain was replaced.

Damn, Shuichi was bored. Bored, bored, bored, bored, BORED! He figured that he shouldn't really be complaining seeing as Yuki had actually threatened his editor into giving him an extra week so that he could spend some time with Shuichi, but they'd been at home for a day and the pink haired singer was already bored.

He peeked out of the window again, watching for any sign of Hiro, but his friend didn't seem anywhere in sight. Shuichi frowned; he'd left hundreds of messages on his answer phone, but no matter how many times he called, the guitarist didn't seem to want to see him.

"What can he be doing that's more interesting in me?" Shuichi wondered, sighing and walking into the living room to flop down on the couch. Picking up the phone he dialled Hiro's number, waiting for the usual 'Sorry, I'm not at home, leave a message and I'll call ya back'.

-Moshi moshi.-

Wow…computers sure were polite nowadays.

"Hi Hiro, it's me…again, just wondering where the HELL you are and why you aren't coming round like you promised, and why you aren't answering my calls, and why you don't love me anymore, and why you left me all alone like this, and why you left the band, and why you're being so meeeeean!"

-Stalker much…-

Shuichi blinked and pulled the phone away from his ear.

"It still looks like a phone to me," came a voice from the doorway. Shuichi looked up and saw Yuki standing there with a bag of groceries. He mouthed a hello and put his ear back to the phone.

"Hiro?"

-Yes, Shu, this is my house, remember?-

"HIRO! I thought you'd abandoned me!"

-That much is clear. Nah, I lost the key to my apartment but I found it at the studio. It hasn't even been a day yet, Shu, but I listened to the first fifty messages you left…then I got bored, hope you aren't too offended?-

The singer grinned and threw himself off the couch as an expression of how happy he was. Lying on the wooden floor with his feet still on the couch, he clutched the phone tightly to his ear.

"So, are you gonna come round now? Are you? ARE YOU?"

There was an almost audible wince on the other end of the phone.

-YES I'm going to come round! I miss you too, you know. I'll see you in a minute.-

Shuichi whooped and put the phone down, running into the kitchen to attach himself to Yuki. The blonde raised an eyebrow but didn't seem to mind as he continued to put away the groceries, absently resting a hand on one of his lover's arms that was wrapped around his waist. Shuichi smiled but decided not to rub it in, he'd probably get a slap if did. Having said that…Yuki was being really nice to him today, and Shuichi wondered if perhaps his lover had changed slightly. He really hoped he had – he could get used to mutual hugs that weren't followed by a period of Yuki pretending he didn't exist.

When the last thing had been put away, Yuki turned around in Shuichi's arms and wrapped his own arms around his lover. It felt so much better to love someone properly, and show them that you loved them…being happy was certainly a more appealing thought than being a cold and moody, arrogant bastard. Of course, his fans wouldn't think so, but he didn't really care. He'd never been so scared in his life than when Shuichi went missing, and the relief and happiness he'd felt when he found him was probably the happiest he'd ever felt.

"Love you," he murmured, rocking his lover gently as they stood in an embrace.

A knock at the door echoed through the apartment, but Shuichi had the decency to kiss his lover quickly and smile at him before tearing to the door to open it. He practically dragged his friend inside, grinning and jumping around him whilst Hiro stood patiently, waiting for his Shuichi to calm down. Once he had, he gave his friend a hug and called a polite 'hello' to Yuki, his resentment for the author having disappeared once he'd learnt of his 'plight' to save Shuichi.

Shuichi dragged his friend into the living room and sat him down in front of the table. Before Hiro was a board game that he'd never seen before.

"What's this?"

Shuichi grinned.

"Something Yuki bought for me to play with. It's got all these places, see, and some are nicer than others, and you have to buy them with the money that you're given, and if someone lands on one of your places, they pay you, and you can put these hotels on them which make them have to pay LOADS!" (1)

It took a few seconds for Hiro's brain to catch up with his ears. When it had, he smiled slightly and nodded.

"Okay then, let's play. Who goes fir-"

The lights went out.

"Don't panic," came Yuki's voice from the kitchen, and the two musicians could hear him fumbling about in the dark trying to find the electric metre. They heard a switch being flicked but nothing happened. "I think it's a power cut, I can't turn it on from here," Yuki said, making his way into the living room and walking to the table. He looked between where he knew they were sat, wondering which one was his lover. Shuichi reached out and took his hand, smiling when his lover squeezed it and picked him up, sitting down in the chair and putting him in his lap.

"Well," the author said, wondering whether he was talking in Hiro's direction or not. "Seeing as Shuichi ran the torch out a few weeks ago, we have no light until the power comes back on."

"We can play a game," Hiro suggested, knowing that Shuichi would probably get bored if they just sat and talked. Yuki nodded…then remember that Hiro wouldn't be able to see him nodding.

"Yeah, but what?"

"The supermarket game!"

Yuki frowned and looked down at his lover.

"The power could take ages…"

"Well we can change the topic. Like, we can say 'I went to the beach and I saw,', that sort of thing."

"I guess…okay. You can start, Shu. Hiro, you can go next."

Clapping joyfully, Shuichi started the game.

---------------

The blonde sighed. The latest one was 'I put on a Nittle Grasper album and I heard…'

"Be there, Shining Collection…um…" The author faltered. What else had his brother-in-law done? Yuki couldn't remember. Suddenly, the lights coming back on blinded them all, and Yuki swore as he covered his eyes. Dammit, that had hurt. I need a drink, he thought, waiting for Shu to get off his lap before making his way to the kitchen.

"Well," Shuichi said, grinning slightly. "That was fun." He got down from the table and started telling Hiro what he was going to do and where he was going to go with Yuki next week. The topic of new songs also came up in his little rant.

The guitarist listened to his friend, adding in his own comments from time to time. Hiro sat on the sofa and Shuichi sat on the floor next to his legs, flicking through channels on the TV whilst he talked rabidly. Yuki entered a few minutes later with a cup of hot chocolate for them all, and sat himself down next to Hiro on the couch, resting his hand on Shuichi's head and running his hands through his lover's hair. He too added his own contributions to the conversation, sometimes making an unsuccessful grab for the remote that was in his lover's hands before settling back down again to watch whatever "mindless crap" Shuichi wanted to watch on TV.

After a while, there was no talking. Shuichi had crawled his way into Yuki's lap and was now asleep. Hiro was also asleep, his head resting against the sofa. Only Yuki was awake, holding onto his lover while he slept and learning to enjoy all of the mindless crap that TV had to offer. There was this one anime that he was rather taken with, something weird about a high school student turned pop star and this freaky blonde dude that kept insulting him. Heh, he loved these real life programmes.

The End
