Well, I am back, now with chapter two! I'm so happy, I got five reviews the first day I put this up! So I was so happy I decided to post another chapter.

All warnings, disclaimers and stuff are on the first page.

Here is chapter two, so enjoy the title-less goodness!

Chapter 2

Shuichi stood at the foot of the hospital bed. Staring at its occupant he wondered. Why? Why'd he go and do such a stupid thing? He'd never seemed to be such a reckless person. Then again, maybe it was just an accident. Yes, an accident. He was never so careless. Someone else was driving drunk and he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Yeah, that sounded more like him.

He stared blankly at the one in the bed. Critical condition, though the doctors said he would recover in time. Personally the singer couldn't truly say why he was here. Tohma had called him just a few minutes ago with the news. For some reason he rushed right over... for some reason.

Ryuichi put his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Come on Shu... let's leave if it makes you uncomfortable. You weren't ready to confront him, even if he is asleep." The other nodded.

Turning on their heels, they left Yuki's room. One whole section of the waiting room was taken up by all their friends. Shuichi spoke to no one, only walked past. Ryuichi could merely offer a helpless shrug as he hurried after.

Scene change!

"Shuichi... you always ask me so many questions... well I have a question for you... why? Why the hell do you DO this to me?" Yuki Eiri sat at the very end of a bar. In front of him were three empty glasses and one half full that he held in his hand. Tears were streaking down his face. He couldn't say for sure how long he had been sitting there, but he could tell the bartender was getting ready to give him dirty looks. Bartenders didn't like it if you sat there without buying something expensive. Getting the message, the novelist stood up, placed money on the bar and left.

Thinking that four bars in one day was enough, Yuki set out on a very important mission, trying to find his car. He knew he was too drunk to drive, but maybe he could sleep in the back seat.

This task proved to be quite a difficult one, however. Yuki could hardly see, nor could he remember where he was. Tears still dripped off his chin but he wasn't aware of them. He stumbled always in a pattern, and he began to count his steps, to better hold his already tipsy balance. Three steps foreword.. one half step back, etc.. etc...

Why? Why did the boy effect him some much? How could he have let this happen? He was always so careful... never letting anyone, not even his own family, get close enough to hurt him again. And yet, when someone finally came into his life, someone that seemed obsessed enough to stay with him through all his faults, he just got hurt again.

No, that didn't sound right... he walked away, didn't he? He hurt Shuichi first. Right?

Confused over his own thoughts he never noticed where his feet were taking him. He saw the light a little too late, heard the horn blaring in his ears. After that, he knew nothing.

Yuki awoke to a white ceiling and the sounds of beeping. The luxury of sight and sound, however, was nothing without the ability of conscious thought. He lay still for many moments before he finally realized where he was and why. After remembering what had happened, nerves all over his body seemed to flare up and burn. Twisting in agony a strangled choke forces its way out of his throat. A nurse outside, mercifully, heard the sound and rushed in with a painkiller.

Breathing hard he stared around him. He was in a hospital, after being hit by a car. It was a wonder he was still alive. He made a quiet request and the same nurse helped him into a sitting position. "Don't worry Mr. Yuki, everything will be all right. You have a visitor."

Recovering from his shock, and gaining back a little of his dignity, he looked up. "Visitor?"

"Yes, a nice young man. He wanted to see you as soon as you woke. I'll go get him."

She left him sitting there to think. There was only one person in the world that he knew who would pull the kind of strings it took to stay and wait for him to wake. Yuki wondered if Shuichi was waiting for him as well. He would never admit it aloud, but the sight of the boy would make him feel a whole lot better.

No such luck for him, however. Tohma was the only one who walked through the door. The nurse left them in privacy, after pointing out the call button, and closed the door. The blond sat in the chair next to the bed, a very worried expression on his face. "Eiri?"

"He's not here, is he?"

"No, Eiri. But he did visit. I never thought this would happen. After I hung up with you, I was worried. You sounded so... heartbroken. It scared me. There was only one other time you sounded like that. That incident made you who you were last year. I don't like to admit it, but I was wrong about you two being together. You're a lot happier. So if it was anything I did, I'm sorry." Tohma looked down at his hands as they messed with his coat buttons. After a long silence he looked up and found Yuki smiling slightly.

"Tohma, it... wasn't your fault. It was mine. He pulled, and I pushed." Clenching the blankets in his fists he leaned back against the headrest. "Did I.. ever... treat him too harshly?"

Tohma frowned. "You probably shouldn't think about that right now. Concentrate on healing. The doctor said you'll recover nicely, but you'll be here for quite a while. So you're the only thing you need to concentrate on right now."

Yuki tilted his head and frowned as well. "Why?"

"What?"

"Why? Why do anything at all, if I'll just be hurt again. I'm afraid to admit it, but... I don't want to let him go."

Tohma laughed. "You really should stop drinking. It makes you say silly things. You're sounding like someone from one of your books. You worry about everything later and heal! Ok? I'll go and get you a bit of food. Something good. I don't care too much for this hospital food." Standing he put his hand on Yuki's shoulder. "Don't worry about it, I'm serious. If I come back and find you worried, I'll have to call your editor." He left the room with a slight wave. Yuki watched after him thoughtfully.

"You're right. I can't get him back like this. I'll have to think of someway to apologize. Something special. It looks like I'll have plenty of time for planning too." A doctor arrived with a clipboard. "Plenty of time."

Scene change!

Ryuichi set a glass in front of Shuichi. The younger vocalist taking it gratefully. "I spoke with Tohma just now. Yuki's woken up. Wanna go visit him before visiting hours are over?"

Shuichi shook his head and he drank deeply. Setting the glass back down he sighed. "No. I visited him already. I think... I think it's time to accept the fact that he doesn't want me."

Ryuichi frowned, "Yeah, I guess. Besides, you got me and Kumagoro-chan!" The bunny flopped out of nowhere onto Shuichi's head as Ryuichi circled his arms around his chest. "We'll take care of you. We promise!"

"Thank you Ryu. I appreciate it a lot!"

"Come on, Shu. Let's go get ice cream!"

Scene change!

Long days and nights passed as Yuki and Shuichi both healed. Ryuichi did all he could to bring back Shuichi's old attitude, and Yuki did all he could from a hospital bed to prepare himself for getting Shuichi back. A month has passed, and neither seen or even spoken to the other. Tohma worried that it'd be too late when Yuki finally got released, but everyone still held hope that their friends would be back to normal soon.

The day Yuki was released brought cheers, Tatsuha, Tohma (almost) and Mika. Only two people missed the party. Ryu and Shu were out at an arcade playing DDR. Uncaring on the outside, inside, Yuki was a determined mess. Half was afraid of what Shuichi would do when confronted, and the other, much bigger half said screw the reply and kidnap him! Tempting, Yuki thought, but no. He'll do it right this time.

Scene change!

"Look Ryu! I see it!" Shuichi pointed at the pond where a blue Angelfish was peaking out from under a rock. Ryuichi ran over and joined him. "See? I told you it was here!"

"I guess you showed me, Shu. A blue Angelfish. Who would've thought? Do you have any more pocky?"

"Uh, yeah... somewhere, hold on." He dug through his pockets and finally pulled out the box. Surprisingly, all the chocolate sticks were still intact, despite how easy they are to break. He handed one to the older vocalist and put one between his own teeth. "Ok.. now that we've spent three hours proving that there was a blue angelfish in this pond, what's next for today?"

Ryuichi tilted his head to the side. "I don't know. Hadn't gotten past proving you wrong. And since I didn't succeed in doing even that, it's your choice."

Shuichi grinned. "Very well then... I want to...-"

"Shindou."

Shuichi's eyes widened and he jumped. Shoulders tense, he didn't move until Ryuichi looked over his shoulder. Ryu's eyes widened as well. Shuichi, very slowly, turned until he was facing his caller.

"Yuki."

Yuki stood, face carefully blank. "Shuichi... I..."

"You know what you are, Mr. Romance Novelist? You're a cold-blooded bastard!" Ryuichi slipped his arms around Shu's waist and glared at Yuki. Kumagoro now protectively shielded the younger man's heart. "How dare you show up here! Well, let me tell you, he's mine! Got that? I won't have you hurting him again! He's too nice for you!"

"Ryuichi!" Blush lines appeared on Shuichi's cheeks and he was caught in the middle.

Yuki's eyes widened then narrowed dangerously.

Scene change!

Tohma nodded at K. "Ryuichi really is a very clever man. For all his air-headed attitude, he's much more clever than me. Not only that, but he is brilliant at acting, don't you think?"

K just stared in barely concealed shock at the scene playing out in front of them. In all his years of knowing the vocalist, he'd never known him to pull off something so dangerous. Could such feelings be fake? Impossible!

Tohma turned on his heel and began walking away. "Come K, we have work to do. I have a feeling we might be bandaging a few bruises." K wordlessly turned and followed, thoroughly shocked.

To be continued...

Well, please review and tell me how you like it. It's going a bit fast for me, then I decided to get it done as soon as possible so I don't get bored with it. So I'm all right with the pace.

REVIEWERS!

Wonder Chef's Cupcake: Thankies! Well, here's the second chapter. Hope you like this one as much as the first!

DarkMetalAngel of Destruction: Thank you. I hope this answers your question about Yuki. See, he really does care, he just doesn't like to show it.

sailorsaturncosmo: Thanks for your kind comment. Here's the next chapter for you. I updated two chapters in one day. I'm so proud!

SpiritsFlame: Fear not... I like Yukichi just fine thank you. My favorite pairing out of all of them. So no, it's not a Ryuichi/Shuichi fic. I think they'd get along TOO well to have a relationship so.. yeah. Don't know how anyone could really pull that off. I do love messing with the characters though.

Angelique Starlight: Yep, this is my story. It's based off a roleplay with my friend, with additions of course. Roleplays are a bit too lacking in description. I don't like my style, it's too simple for me, but I'm glad you like it. Believe me, I would get rid of the 'Scene change' thing if I could. I'm doing this chapter on Word Pad. They show up with Microsoft Word saved as a webpage. But this comp is crappy, and so is mine at home. Wish I could change it, I tried to. sowwy. TT I think I kinda prefer Nice Tohma. But I can't make him TOO ooc. I don't think he was really cruel in the manga,or the anime. I just think he has a big brother complex for Yuki. But I made him a little nicer here. Ryuichi's feelings aren't entirely real, but they're not entirely false either. He has actually started idolizing Shuichi, if you've noticed, so that's helped him. It's the only reason he came up with the idea. Believe me, he knew enough not to get too attached. Don't worry. He's just caring for Shu-chan like Tohma is for Yuki.

Well, it's 2:20... good night everyone!
