Chapter 5: Flight
--author's comment--
Hi there! Chapter 5 of Black Silk Red Roses, I'm starting to think that the title doesn't have much to do with the story, . Oh well, as least as your enjoying it. Umm...I'm wondering about something, sometime during chapter 6 and 7 I was thinking bout adding a lil' risqué scene between Yuki and Shu, but I don't know. If you guys want it, I'll add it in. Alright enough of me, here's the stoy.

chapter 5:
I grabbed my old suitcase I left in the closet of my room, and started to pack. I still don't know where we are going. Yuki's in the living room writing his novel. He mad a dinner reservation at the Saki at eight. I'm going to dress formal because I think that's a fancy restaurant.
Eight o'clock crept around the corner, so I showered and started to get dressed. I couldn't find a white shirt. I didn't want to bother Yuki, so I went out bathroom topless, I only had my black pants on. I went into my room and looked through my closet and draws. Nothing. Where could it be? AH! I packed it in my suitcase, but it was way in there, I didn't want to mess everything up again. What to do? I wonder if I borrow a shirt from Yuki he wouldn't mind.
I quietly walked into Yuki's room. I didn't look where I was going I was watching if Yuki is still at his desk typing. I turned my head and faced Yuki's room, and walked in and to my left was Yuki.
"Oh hey Yuki, umm...I was wondering if I can uh..." I stumbled to say. There goes my plan, but I was going to ask anyways if I couldn't find his.
"Come here." He said indifferently.
I approached him, and he told me to have my back face him. I didn't know what he was doing, but there was a mirror in front of me. I saw Yuki rumble through the his closet, he grabbed something white out. It was a shirt. He put the hanger back in the closet and unbutton the shirt.
"Arms up." He ordered.
I put my arms up and he slipped the the shirt on. The sleeves nicely sat at the palm of my hand. I smelled like Yuki, not the cigarette stench, but the lovely scent of his body when I slept with him the other day. I was caught by surprise when Yuki put his arms around me. I couldn't help but jump a bit. Yuki hesitated but he grabbed the bottom button and button his shirt up. It was so sensual, I felt his heat, his skin, and his presence, I closed my eyes; I was safe in his embrace. His arms gracefully slide up my chest and buttoned the last one, and he just stood there. I opened my eyes and stared at the mirror. He stared at me and I stared at him at the mirror. He was still hugging me and my arms around his. Suddenly everything felt awkward.
"It's almost eight Yuki, we should get going." I whispered and softly pushing him away.
I went into his car and buckled up and he got in second and started the car. He drove swiftly on the highway. I notice that I didn't tuck in the shirt so I started to and when I was finished we were there.
Yuki got out the car first and I unbuckled and I reach my hands to open the door, but it suddenly opened by itself. I stepped out and saw Yuki holding the door. I felt a little embarrassed he did that. He closed the door and we both walked in the door.
"Welcome to Saki, how may I assist you?" The pretty waitress asked.
"Reservation for Two, the name is Yuki Eiri." Yuki replied. The waitress stared at Yuki for a moment in complete shock it seems. Perhaps she was one of his fans.
"Right here please." She pointed at a table seated for two outside the restaurant, around was lit by rose scented candles. and the moon was dimly glowing in the sky, everything was enclosed in the magnificent black fence that surrounded all the tables and candles.
Yuki sat down on the left and I on the right. A waiter came and gave us our menus and Yuki ordered food for us. I personally didn't mind. I didn't know what to get. When our food started to come, I can feel the delicious aroma. He got himself a nice medium cooked steak with rice and vegetable and he got me chicken alfredo pasta. We started to eat in silence like we usually do. I was halfway done with my meal, and Yuki looked up at me.
"Don't you want to know why I brought you here?" He asked.
I put my my utensil and wiped my mouth and took a sip of water. "Yes" I replied.
There was again a moment of temporary silence.
"We are going to New York, I had to do something there and I also thought that you and I should have some time to spend together. That's what I brought you here to say." He stated and start cutting his steak.
It seems in one sentence all my questions, all the doubtfulness of Yuki's action disappeared. Yuki wanted to spend his time with me, the more he say these little things and do the things he do, I fall more deeply for him time after time.
"Shuichi...I noticed you gotten more mature." Yuki said.
"Oh..." I responded. He was right, I didn't whine and say the foolish things that got him made once before.
After we eaten, Yuki paid and we got into his car. He started to drive, it seemed much longer going home then coming here. The night sky was full of bright and dim stars and the bright full moon on the left. I opened the window a little. I could feel the wind blowing against my face. I looked over at Yuki to see if he minded me opening the window, he was still concentrating at getting home. I again looked at the stars and moon, lost in star fever. I could hear the wind howl, the car was going pretty fast.
I felt a warm hand on my left hand, I snapped out of my moment and looked at Yuki. He was still concentrating on driving but his hands was on mines and he picked up my hands and placed it on the stick and he placed his hand over mines and our fingers interlocked. We went under a tunnel, the lights shone a orange red color. I was so happy, I couldn't hold it in, but I had too, Yuki said I was mature I had to keep it in. Yuki parked in the driveway. Our hands had to part because we had to exit through separate doors. Soon they were again joined as we walked up the stairs. Yuki handed me the keys to open his apartment door. The fluorescent light above flickered on and off, it was telling us that it needs to be fixed. It flicked off so I had a hard time opening the door. Yuki placed his hand on my shoulder and turned me to face him. I stared at him. His yellow eyes. He leaned in. I felt his lips touch mines. I froze and drop the keys, it made a clink sound the re-echoed through the hallway. The light flicked on and off. On and off.
It's on my lips.
It's in my dreams.
It's a story told by two.
You say you want to be happy.
You've already been so many times.
What do you want?
What's lacking?
Where will you turn?
Even if you ask,
I won't have the answer.
