Chapter Four: Plans

Shuichi tried to sleep, but sleeping in the unknown couch didn't give him much comfort. The bed wasn't the only thing that he missed; he missed the warmth of his lover's body. His arms wrapped around him, that was what he missed the most. He missed Yuki.

Shuichi had listened carefully to the doctor's explanations and to everyone else. He understood that amnesia was a normal reaction after an accident like that. Shuichi knew that he was lucky that he hadn't lost Yuki. He just didn't know what to do, how to react, and the feeling that there was something really wrong happening didn't help either.

He sighed and turned for what seemed to be like the tenth million time, and closed his eyes. Shuichi had been confused he hadn't know what to do or what say to Yuki. Shuichi just left and now he regretted it. Mika and Tohma had immediately taken all the responsibility into their hands. Finally, Hiro had managed to convince him to leave and to return in the morning, when his head and his thoughts returned to order. But the second they arrived to Yuki's place Shuichi realized he couldn't bring himself to enter. Shuichi didn't want to be alone in that huge apartment, so Hiro took him to his house. The only thing was that he had to sleep on the couch…alone… without Yuki.

He gave up thinking about how lonely he was and concentrated on what he would do the next day. Tohma told him that Yuki would need clothes and offered to go get them himself, but somehow Shu didn't think that would be a good idea. So he decided to go to the apartment in the morning to get clean clothes for Yuki and for himself, of course. Shuichi also wanted to take Yuki's computer to fix. Everyone had been so busy dealing with the reporters and hospital paperwork that the laptop had been left into oblivion. A nurse had given it to Shu with other stuff, like his cell phone, which was miraculously intact.

Shu began to think what he would say to the blond man when he saw him and sighed. Yuki didn't remember him at all! All the time that they had been together, all the love and the discussions, all the tears and the laughs, all of it lost in a second! 'Material for a novel,' Yuki would say. Shu smiled a little at the thought of it. Maybe he could write a song about it…

-------------------------

"Hey, Shu!" Hiro said, patently to the boy behind him, "If we are going to go see him you have to let go!" They had been at the parking lot for the last twenty minutes and people were already starting to look at them. Shuichi refused to let him go so neither could move nor climb down the motorcycle.

Hiro was getting tired, not to mention embarrassed, and really tempted to kick Shuichi out of the vehicle. He understood it was difficult, but after waiting hours outside Yuki's apartment, and thirty minutes until Shu finally let the computer go to a really upset guy to fix, he was definitely out of patience. Hiro sighed and spoke again, last card he had before he really began to consider getting away, with or without his friend.

"I can call Seguchi-san and ask him to come down for Yuki-san's clothes, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to do it. Then we'll leave". At the mention of this Shu climbed down the motorcycle and before Hiro could blink he called to him from the entrance "Hiro let's go! We are already late!"

The man smiled and walked behind the pink haired boy in front of him. Shuichi hadn't changed in the last two years, and even though he was already twenty, Hiro still thought that Shu was a little boy. He wasn't the only one that thought so, since Shu acted like one, everyone thought the same. Shuichi was more mature now, of course, but his personality remained the same. Hiro had begun to wonder if he wasn't doing it on purpose.

They took the elevator towards the sixth floor. Shuichi was whistling a tune that Hiro had never heard before. "New song?" he asked. Shuichi nodded and continued whistling. The moment the elevator stopped Shu did as well. "Let's go, Shu", the guitarist said and stepped out into the hall. His friend didn't move, just stared at the hallway that led to Yuki. Hiro was about to talk when Shuichi inhaled deeply and started walking.

"Hn, Hiro?" Shuichi was staring at the floor in front of Yuki's room. Hiro understood and said, "I'll go for a soda, want one?" The boy shook his head, and knocked on the door softly. He was scared, after thinking about it all night he had decided he needed to explain everything to Yuki. He didn't count on what Tohma and Mika had done...

Tohma opened the door. He looked at the singer and stepped outside. "Shindou-san. I need to tell you something." Shuichi looked at him intrigued by the look on his face, "after you left, Eiri asked who you were and how did you two know each other and…well, we decided that it was best for him not to know." Shu's eyes opened wide and stared in disbelief at the man in front of him. How could he? How dared he? Shuichi had known for a long time now that Seguchi didn't approve of him as Yuki's lover, but to do this…and Mika agreed?? After she had called him family just the day before???

The blonde watched Shu's face change quickly from disbelief into confusion and then in anger. Before Shuichi made a scene he talked again, "We thought it was for the best, just for the moment." He made emphasis on the last words, he didn't want or needed Shuichi screaming. Then he added, "We want him to rest for a while and give him time to adapt. You don't want to upset him with too many memories he can't remember, do you?

Shuichi tried to make sense of what he was told. How will telling Yuki the truth upset him? Shuichi sighed, he didn't understand, but he knew that it was already too late to change it. He looked again at his boss and nodded; if he wanted things to go back to normal, he needed to cooperate or otherwise, Shuichi suspected that they wouldn't let him see Yuki. And he hated being away from Yuki; he couldn't stand a day without him, and if they took him he wouldn't be able to see Yuki for months!!

"What did you tell him then?" He felt tired, he just wanted to see Yuki and hold him... "That you are roommates". Shuichi's mind screamed at that moment. Roommates? But- but they were more than that! He thought they had told him at least that they were dating or something, but roommates? He was about to complain when an idea hit him. If they were roommates that mean they will continue to live together. And if he convinced Yuki that going back home was the best way to get his memories back...

Tohma didn't like the way Shu was smiling. Mika and him had already made the arrangements to translate Eiri to a hospital in Kyoto. If the boy interfered things could get ugly. And the boy seemed to be planning something already. That second Shu entered the room and told Tohma, "Yu- Eiri and I need to talk". And with that, he closed the door.

-----------------------------------

Yuki was watching TV when he heard the door close. He turned around, expecting to see that weird guy again... what was his name again? Tohma? Who cared? Instead it was that guy from the day before. The boy looked, if possible, weirder than Tohma. Pink hair and huge purple eyes, orange jacket and khaki trousers with black sneakers; yeah, he was definitely weirder. Still there was something familiar and kind of comforting about him.

The previous night, when the boy had left, Yuki wondered for a second if he should ask him to stay. It was strange, he didn't even remember him, but wanted to have him around. He had asked his sister who he was, and she and her husband told him that the boy was his roommate. They had also explained that he was a singer and that they had begun living together some months before his career started. That was why they lived together: cheap rent and location. However, Yuki wasn't really sure that that was the truth. He was convinced that there was something else and thought he could find out if he asked the boy.

For a moment neither of them spoke, they just stared at each other; Shuichi thinking about how much he wanted to hug him and kiss him, and Yuki wanting to know why he felt happy by just seeing him. After a moment, Shu started walking towards him. Each step seemed to take longer than the previous one, he was so nervous about it…

Yuki was nervous as well, but was the first one to talk, "Shuichi, right?" He looked at the boy until he nodded and then continued, "Hey, I'm glad to see you…I…well, yesterday you left really fast and I didn't have the chance to talk to you." Shuichi stared at Yuki. The blonde man was smiling at him and being nice. He always complained about Yuki's coldness, but this was something he wasn't used to. After a moment he realized that he had his mouth opened and that Yuki was looking at him strangely.

"Are you ok?" Shu blushed and nodded, then after taking a deep breath he spoke, "I'm sorry, I- well, I just didn't know how to react. I- we were so worried about the accident, I…" The singer found himself not knowing how to explain his concern, so instead he changed the subject. "Hey, I brought you some clothes, I thought you might need them." He, of course, didn't mention it had been his boss' idea. He needed to give a good impression.

Yuki noticed the change of subject, but seeing how the boy was doing his best, he decided to drop it. "Thanks, that was really nice." Shuichi blushed harder, and remained quiet for a moment, then he asked, "How are you feeling?" Yuki was about to say 'fine' when he saw the worry in the boy's eyes. He really looked concerned, not like those nurses or the doctor, Shuichi looked like he hadn't slept all night wondering how he felt. Why did he care so much?

Shu noticed that the blonde was staring at him and out of custom he apologized, "Gomen! I know it's a stupid question!" Damn, why am I always like that? Yuki had been in an accident, how was he supposed to feel? No question why Yuki was always calling me a baka… Shuichi was expecting some yelling or at least an ironic retort, but instead he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to meet a pair of golden eyes looking directly at him.

"It's ok, I know it must be weird to talk to me after what happened..." the man smiled at him encouragingly and Shu couldn't help but laugh. He was supposed to give Yuki comfort, not the other way around! "I'm sorry er-... should I call you Eiri then?" He waited until his lover nodded and then continued, "I should be the one to support you! After all I'm your " Shuichi said the next words as fast as he could, "friendandthat'swhatfriendsdoright?"

What was that again? There was something really suspicious on the boy's behavior, but before he could say something the pink haired boy asked, "When are you leaving the hospital? I need to have everything ready for you." Shuichi smiled as well as he could, trying to hide his nervousness. He wouldn't know what to do if Yuki didn't want to go with him.

Yuki didn't know what to say. His sister wanted him to go with them back to Kyoto, where he could rest and recuperate near his family. What should he tell this boy? He suspected the boy would be disappointed if he informed him that, and for some reason he didn't want that. Instead he tried another approach "But wouldn't that be too much trouble? I imagine you have a busy schedule and I don't want to be in your way..."

Shuichi almost screamed at this. Yuki being a nuisance for him?? Like that could ever happen! "But I thought you'll like to come back to the apartment, after all it's yours". "Mine? I thought it belonged to both".

Shit! Now how do I fix that? I was doing so well and then I had to open my mouth... Think, Shuichi think!... "Eeh, well yeah, but you found it and…well... it is your house" Yuki looked at him, still not convinced... "And the doctor said if you wanted your memory back you should do all the things you used to!" There! If that didn't work he would have to do something more... drastic, and risky like telling him the truth...

Fortunately for him this made an immediate effect on Yuki, who asked him "Really? Well that does make sense, and I suppose it would be easier to do it... But are you sure it's not a problem?"

Victory! "Of course not! I'll tell Mika-san about it and we'll arrange everything! No worries here!" That moment Tohma entered the room. Shuichi got up and grinned at him. He had won the first battle. Tohma didn't like that smile. It was a victory smile. And he hated loosing, especially if Eiri was involved.
