Chapter 2:
I didn't want to look up into those yellow eyes, I had no right to. I soon feel my eyes are starting to water again. We both stood there, not a slight move...it seemed like forever. Alas...he was the first one to move gently pushing my left shoulder with his arm. As he walked down the dim red corridor I was still at the door step standing the same position. I'd never expect him to say hi to me or even acknowledge that I was there, and yet I still don't understand...him still letting me stay at his place if he doesn't want anything to do with me. I slowly walked in the apartment; it's colder than the warm corridor. I closed the door behind me; I didn't bother to lock it.
Cigarettes. The scent of cigarette smokes filled the room, it disgusts me every time I smell it, as much as I wanted him, asked him to quit he wouldn't listen. I looked around the empty living room, it was dark and unfriendly. Everyday I come here it seems more harsh and insensitive. I wanted it like it was before, when things seemed normal, or what seemed normal to me. I know that is a foolish wish, and I know it would never happen but I can always have hope. Have hope that one day Yuki could smile warmly at me, one day where this place is warm and inviting. I went to take a shower so I wouldn't catch a cold. The water that came out of the shower was much softer than the rain that hit my body in the park. After the shower I felt better, but inside of me when I think about Yuki it still pains me. I put the towel on the rack and step out of the bathroom and looked at the time. 8:00 p.m. Yuki hasn't come back yet.
RRRINGG! RRRINGG!
The phone rang. "Moo...mooshi mooshi" I softly talked into the telephone.
"Mm, Shuichi how are you? I was driving home and I notice you were running and maybe crying while I was driving." Replied K.
"Ooh...K it's you, I was in a hurry to come back home to see Yuki and no I wasn't crying. Why would I be crying?" I lied.
"...Hmm...well I need to talk to you about tomorrow, can you come in early, We are going to record the rest of the album tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. try not to be late and President Tohma wants to speak to you." He said directly.
"Tohma?" I wonder what the President want with me. "Oh ok I'll come in early tomorrow you can count on it!" I try to force my self to chuckle.
"Alright then, I'll leave you get some good nights rest and don't come late, OR ELSE!" He threatened and hanged up.
"Well...I should listen to what he said before he threatens me with his gun again." I said to myself.
I grabbed a blanket and pillow out of the corner closet and place them on the couch and I lied there staring at the ceiling. My head was fuddled with so many things. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes and try to go to sleep. I toss and turn all over the couch as hard I tried I couldn't fall asleep. I glanced at the clock 11:34 p.m. I've been tossing and turning for 3 hours and I'm beginning to worry where Yuki went. He never goes out this late. Just as I was about to get up I heard footsteps in the corridor. I froze. The footsteps got louder and louder and seem to stop at the front door. Yuki.
The sound of a key clicking in the key hole and door swung opened. Yuki closed the door behind him and walked up to the couch where I was "sleeping." He didn't spoke, nor did he move...all I can hear is the faint smell of cigarettes on his clothes and hear his light breathing. I wouldn't open my eyes. I felt Yuki footsteps walk away from me and into his bedroom. The door shut behind him, and no noise but the ticking of the clock was heard. And then... I found myself sleeping later on.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!
The alarm clock went off. I didn't have the will to wake up nor did I get enough sleep, worrying about Yuki. I dragged myself out of bed and into the bathroom. I barley open my eyes nevertheless brush my teeth and get dressed. When I managed to accomplish it all I open the bathroom door and to the side leaned against the wall was Yuki. I stared at him for a minute or so, and vice versa. I managed to utter, "Good morning."
After two minutes or so he still didn't say anything and walked into the bathroom and starts closing the door behind him. At that moment I started to head out the door, Yuki opened the bathroom door and abruptly said, "Hey..." I turned backed shocked that he actually said something to me. "Yes?" I questioned. "Good morning." He said and closed the bathroom door quickly.
