well, here's the first chapter of my first Gravitation fic! w00t! it might take me a while to think of more to write for the next chapter, but (i think) i've got the basic plot all figured out. so you should be expecting the next chapter soon! and for all you Yuki/Shuichi fans out there, don't worry, i'll write a fic for just that couple someday, causeeven ihave to admit, they ARE pretty cute together (but i'm technically a die-hard Ryu/Shu fan XP)
and btw, in case you all haven't noticed yet, all the chapter titles for all of my fics have and are going to have song titles. so, who can figure out what band they're by?


He was sitting on an empty bench in the park, crying quietly to himself about everything in general, his soft sakura locks swaying with each sob. His huge violet eyes were brimmed with tears that were constantly streaming down his pale skin. Everything in Shuichi Shindo's life was completely falling apart, including his career and his best friendship. And just when it seemed things couldn't get any worse, life went from bad to extreme. When he cried to his lover Eiri Yuki, he gave him the cold shoulder telling him to "fuck off, you annoying little brat." So there he was, trying for all he was worth not to take his own life, walking around the park that held so many memories. The thought of his first encounter with Yuki make him sob even harder, as he fell half-heartedly to his knees. He didn't want anything more than to be held which, surprisingly, he found he was. He stared up into concerned azure eyes, taking a moment before realizing who they belonged to.

Sakuma Ryuichi rocked the small teen back and forth, comforting him the best he could. He whispered soothing words into his ear and, eventually, Shuichi calmed down. He still hung onto the older singers' jacket and wouldn't let go, so Ryuichi carried him out of the park and placed him in the backseat of his car, not bothering to buckle him up. All he wanted to do was get the cold, and by this time sick, lead singer of Bad Luck back to his place to take care of him. He knew how harsh Yuki could be, and he also knew Shuichi would accept any comfort he was given.

By the time they arrived at Ryuichi's house, the younger of the two was fast asleep. So Ryuichi resorted to carrying him again, shifting his slight weight to unlock the door. As they stepped into the darkened room, Shuichi stirred slightly and mumbled something that sounded vaguely like, "Where am I…?" before his body went limp again. The older vocalist smiled at him softly, planning on explaining everything when he awoke again. For the time being, he let the small teen take his bed, more out of his fondness for him then customary politeness. He simply took a pillow and blanket and slept on the couch.

When Ryuichi woke to the soft sunlight hitting his skin, he realized he wasn't alone. Apparently, Shuichi had joined him during the night. He was cuddled up to him in a scared manner, as if he only wanted the older man's protection. He was also half-hanging off the couch. Ryuichi laughed silently at this. The sakura-haired teen never failed to amuse him.

When the older singer moved slightly to see who was next to him, Shuichi woke slowly, blinking sleep away. He couldn't think very clearly -his cold had turned into a slight fever during the night- except for notice the fact that he was lying next to his idol, Sakuma Ryuichi. At this thought, he jumped slightly, concerning the older vocalist. When the older of the two cupped his chin to look him in the eyes, he very nearly melted, getting this glazed-over look. This caused Ryuichi to laugh, this time audibly, at the younger singers' obvious infatuation with him. He wrapped his arms lightly around the slender waist next to him, giving all the comfort that was needed. Shuichi calmed down at this, realizing for he first time that morning why he was there. He snuggled up to the man beside him, tears threatening to fall once again. Ryuichi ran a hand up and down the small spine, making the younger one want to cry even more. He wanted to talk, to tell the older man everything that was happening wrong in his life, but he didn't want to ruin this brief moment of comfort that he rarely ever got from Yuki, if at all. At this moment, in Ryuichi's arms, it seemed nothing could go wrong ever again. And that faerie-tale was all he needed to feel better.
