Nothing Should Matter That Much

The sliding glass door slid open then slammed shut, the force easing it slightly ajar once more. The light-haired man swore under his breath as the wind blew and the small pulsing flame at the end of his cigarette rushed away. He tried again.

He inhaled deeply holding the smoke in a little longer, letting the nicotine scald the back of his throat. Exhaling, he slid his bare forearms along the damp banister not caring much for his expensive suit. The skilled and proficient sound of active computer keys assaulted his ears and slowly it faded into nothing more than mere background noise against his heavy thoughts. He rested more firmly along the balcony's railing putting his weight into it, flicked his cigarette and let the sprinkles from the dusty clouds play upon the back of his neck.

A sudden noise belted from the usual soft tone of the television, gaining the blond man's attention.

Welcome back! It's about that time for our viewer favorite part of our show, BRIGHT FUTURE! Every month, we will have an audience member catch a koi with a fortune attached and have fans call in if the fortune comes true, offering cash prizes and trips to exotic locations. Now let's get ready for 'Fact and Fortune.' The loud sound of clapping commenced.

The music got louder trying pathetically to sound edgy in anticipation of the fortune.

It is said that you will find eternal love through struggle in 12 weeks, A slight pause. Saa! That date is Halloween. We look forward to hearing from you.

The man dropped his cigarette not caring whether it fell on some passerby or lit a bush on fire. He didn't understand moronic television shows in Japan such as that. What purpose did it serve than to better inflict stupidity amongst the population? Who would watch such a program? He let his golden eyes fall shut as the rain began to pelt down on the back of his head.

/ Twelve weeks. /

"Yuki."

The man outside swiveled his body toward the calling voice.

"Yuki."

He turned and walked inside.

"It's on! It's on!"

"I'm coming already!

"Hurry Shuichi!"

Suddenly a body came sliding as if into home base, landing perfectly in front of the television without spilling a single kernel of the bowled popcorn he d brought along. Pink hair swashed as he situated himself.

A catchy tune blasted throughout the room.

'Never is there gonna be a time, tiiiiiiiiiiiime, when I'll leave you alone. Never gonna be a time,' the two boys looked at each other, bodies swaying and sang, "tiiiiiiiiiiiime." that I'll leave you hurt, even as the world falls apart. This is Lover's Promise.'

"I love this show. There isn't a better love soap opera than this." The purple-eyed boy said, scratching his nose and looking at his chestnut-haired friend, his face so close to the screen it was nearly touching it.

The other boy nodded.

The show continued and they sat enthralled until Shuichi got a dry feeling in his throat. Three bowls of popcorn would do that to a guy. He waited impatiently for a commercial.

"Want a drink Duo?"

"Punch?" Duo said, twiddling with his long braid.

Shuichi nodded, getting up. As the pink-haired boy fetched the drinks, the commercial ended and 'Lover's Promise' came back on.

"It's on! It's on!" Duo shouted.

Shuichi came running in nearly knocking Duo over in the process. Drops of punch dribbled down the cup and onto Duo's white shirt and jeans.

"Shu! Damn."

"Sorry, sorry!" Shuichi whined.

They fiddled around trying to clean Duo up, but just ended up getting in one another's way. And then they came to realize there was a game show song playing loudly and it was no longer their beloved weekly show.

"Shuichi, change it back! Why'd you go and do that?"

"I didn't! Where's the remote?" The boy said in a panic.

"You're sitting on it! If I miss Livia and Mac s first kiss " Duo trailed off, shoving Shuichi out of the way and nearly knocking over the punch in the process. Shuichi ended face flat in the carpet, ass high in the hair.

Duo tried frantically to change it back, fumbling between the purple-eyed boy's body, the popcorn, punch, and all over mess they had made. Shuichi stayed immobile for a moment, face to carpet. He often roughhoused with Duo and he always expected playful attacks.

The game show song blared through the television and the man read the fortune aloud. Shuichi s ears perked up at the sound of eternal love. He was after all a sucker for the soul mate ploy.

It is said that you will find eternal love through struggle in 12 weeks. Shuichi turned over, eyes rolling toward the television's sharp glow. Saa! That date is Halloween. We look forward to hearing from you.

Just as the last words came out from the man's lips it was switched back to the soap.

"You are one clumsy idiot, you know that Shu?"

Shuichi pulled his eyelid down and stuck out his tongue, "I've only been clumsy since I met you."

Duo gave an airy laugh and drank his punch even as his pink-haired friend attacked him. They tumbled along the carpet as their favorite show played on.

"That's for nearly knocking me out! And that's for calling me an idiot!" Shuichi yelled, pinning Duo's arms above his head and tickling him until he literally cried from an aching gut.
