Disclaimer: Kaiya Keitaro is mine, but I'm not very fond of her... maybe I can trade her for Shu or Yuki...

Beta-read by: Clari-chan. She's so patient with me, I don't know what I would do without her.

Chapter two: The Fight

Shuichi walked towards the elevator and took it without looking at anyone around. There was only one thought on his head and that was to talk to Tohma Seguchi. He heard Kaiya's voice asking him to wait for her, but he didn't really pay attention to it.

In the mid-time, Shuichi wasn't the only one that wasn't listening well.

-Ex-girlfriend? What the hell are you talking about?

-... Well you couldn't have possibly thought Shuichi hadn't like anyone before you, could you?

As a matter of fact, yes, I did. Yuki manage to keep quiet and then asked –I don't care about that, what I want to know is what's her problem?

Hiro looked at him and smiled inwardly. So the cold 'I-don't-give-a-damn-about-you' novelist is jealous of her. I hope he'll show that to Shu and maybe prevent a mayor problem here.

-She was his first love. I was never sure if he had truly gotten over her. Maybe working together will bring some of that love back.

Yuki glared at him and Hiro smirked. He was hoping Yuki could convince the president to send that... to send her back to the hole from where she had crawled from.

Just as expected, seconds later Yuki was walking towards NG Records' entrance. Hiro reached his pocket and taking out his cell phone he dialed his manager's number.

-K-san? Could you do me a favor? I'll make sure Shuichi arrives on time for a month if you can stop that new singer in our studio and entertain her for a while.

As one of the members of Bad Luck, one of the top bands at NG, Shuichi had no trouble on arriving at Tohma's office. There he stood at the door, trying to calm himself. He had to make Seguchi understand he couldn't work with her, so he should talk as mature and responsible as he could.

At the same time Yuki was on the elevator, wondering why the hell he was so upset by hearing his lover had been in love with someone else before him. In the first place the brat was only a ... what was he anyway? He was just someone to have sex with; it wasn't like he loved that pink haired annoying singer.

Also it was logical that the boy had liked someone before, Yuki himself had had many ... well, no girlfriends, but he had had many relations with women before he had allowed Shuichi to enter his life. So what was the problem? What if he hadn't seen Shuichi so affected by anyone before? He didn't give a damn, right?

Shuichi inhaled deeply and knocked on the wood door in front of him. The same door he had destroyed on his first days at NG. He heard a 'Come in' and entered.

-Shindou-kun? What are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be with our new singer and showing K-san the lyrics for her?

-... Seguchi-san I... I came to tell you I can't work with her.

-Mm? What are you talking about?

-I... well, I feel very honored because you asked me to write the lyrics for her, but... I'm afraid I can't write anything appropriate for her.

-What's the problem, Shindou-kun? You can't or you don't want to work with her?

Shuichi looked at him surprised. Tohma was giving him his 'I-know-everything' smile, which usually made him extremely nervous. But this time it wouldn't work.

-It doesn't matter, either way I won't work with her.

-You don't have much choice now-. Tohma felt annoyed that the singer wasn't cowering, as he would normally do. Also he didn't feel like pleasing the boy after all the trouble he had brought into his life.

-What?

-She is programmed to sing at your concert and the announcement of Bad Luck's singer writing the lyrics for her has already been released.

-Bu-but... can't someone else write-

Tohma cut him off rudely. He had no idea why the boy was being so difficult at the moment after he had practically jumped from happiness and pride when he had asked him to write those lyrics.

Shuichi couldn't believe it. He had to not only work with her, but also sing with her at his next concert? What had seemed like an extremely exciting fact an hour ago was now becoming his worst nightmare. Well, extreme situations called for extreme solutions, and Shuichi's calm demeanor disappeared.

-I don't think you understood me, Seguchi-san. I won't work or sing with her, it's not negotiable.

-What?!-. Any other time Shuichi had paid to see the surprised look on the blonde eyes. But right now he only cared to finish it as soon as possible so he could leave.

-I said I won't fucking work with her. Not now, or ever, and I don't care about any announcement you've made. Sure the almighty president of NG can fix that.

Tohma's mouth was wide open now. He couldn't believe the shy and cheerful singer was speaking at him like that. No one had ever insulted him like that before and he felt anger rising immediately. No one was allowed to talk to him with so much sarcasm unless they were Eiri or Mika. And Shuichi was definitely neither.

-Shindou-kun, I would watch that mouth of yours if I were you. Also I recommend you to leave this office before you screw things more than you already have.

-But you aren't me, even though you wish to. And I'm not leaving until you understand I won't work with her.

-As I said you don't have a choice. You are starting to annoy me, and I'm sure you know what happens to people who do that.

-Listen to me you ass hole! I. AM. NOT. WORKING. WITH. THAT. GIRL. And I don't give a damn on what you do! I'm not scared of you. So fire me if you want, I won't be your toy to play with and you can't certainly force me to do whatever you want!!

Yuki had arrived moments before, but it wasn't until hearing what his lover had said and looking Tohma's incredulous face, that he realized how serious the situation was and understood why Nakano had been so worried about it.

That moment Shuichi turned around to leave and saw him. Anyone that had expected Shuichi to relax and smile at the sight of the blond man would've been seriously disconcerted when instead of running towards him Shu glared.

-What?!

-Hey! Don't talk to me like that, brat!

Wrong answer. Shuichi was already pissed off, and unable to control himself, he began yelling at him.

-I'll look at you whatever way I fucking want to, and if you don't like it you can come kiss my ass!!!

-What!?-. Yuki couldn't believe it. Not even during his worst fights Shuichi had talked to him like that.

-You heard me!! I have no idea why you came here, but if it was to start insulting me or teasing me you should've better left!! After all that's what you do the best! Watch the super cool Yuki Eiri run away!! He's not man enough to face his own emotions, less face his lover!!!

And with that he stormed out of the room. Both Yuki and Tohma were speechless. After a moment the younger man shook his head.

I've never seen him like this. He didn't mean it Tohma. I have no idea what's wrong with him. Those were the things he should have said, but instead Yuki just looked at his brother-in-law and said.

-Let me talk to him.

Shuichi was in front of the elevator, pressing the down button like a maniac. Patience wasn't definitely a word that could be applied to him today.

-So are you mad at the world or just at the two of us?

-Go to hell.

-Hey! I have no idea what happened between that friend of yours and you, but don't take it out on me.

-Fuck Eiri, can't you shut the hell up for once?! Don't talk about something you don't understand about. Shit, I have enough without having to hear from you.

-Listen to me moron. If you don't want to sleep on the street tonight you better calm down and apologize-. Yuki's voice was now serious and threatening, but Shuichi was way too upset to care.

-Really? Is that a promise? Because I'm not sure I want to live in that screwed up apartment anymore. Not until you learn some courtesy anyway.

-You are reaching my limits boy.

-You think I give a shit about your stupid limits? Go fuck someone else Yuki-san, I'm out of here.

With that Shuichi went to the stairs and left. A few seconds later the elevator doors opened.

--

Two floors later Shuichi was still cursing the two blond men. Four floors later he was regaining his senses and realizing what he had said. Six floors later he was beginning to panic. By the time he reached the first floor he was crying.

What have I done? I told Seguchi-san I didn't care if he fired me! Hiro and Suguru are going to hate me! K is gonna kill me! And Sakano... well he's probably just gonna freak out, but he'll be so disappointed of me!

And...and Yuki! I can't believe I told him I didn't want to live with him! What am I gonna do? He's gonna hate me! I love him, how could I've been so stupid?! I don't want to be apart from Yuki! I- I- I can't live without him!!

Shuichi was already freaking out, and ready to find Yuki and apologize and then go to Seguchi and apologize to him too. But first he needed to calm down. He stepped out of the building and inhaled deeply. Why had he gone berserk like that was beyond him. He had never talked to anyone like that before in his life.

-So you are going to stay there or what?

Shuichi looked up at Yuki. He was in front of his car, smoking and looking at him with an impatient look.

-Yu- Yuki... I- I have no idea what...- Shuichi's voice was replaced by his sobs. He was so sorry about what he had said and couldn't even finish the sentence. He was ashamed of himself.

-Shut up and get in the car. It took you long enough to get out of that building. Baka, only you would think on taking the stairs from the eleventh floor.

With that Yuki entered the car. Shuichi wasn't sure of what to do, but decided to go with him and entered the car as well.

The way back to the apartment had never been so tense before
