Chapter 1

Yuki had tried to understand Shuichi. He really did. When his lover didn't come home when he said he would, he forgave him. When they set dates to make up for lost time and Shuichi turned up hours late, he showed little irritation and then forgave him. When Shuichi forgot their anniversary because of some lame reason of being too busy that he can't think about anything else, he gritted his teeth, bore with it and forgave him. But Yuki was only human. And he finally reached his limit.

Last night was the last straw. Yuki once again thought of giving Shuichi another chance to redeem himself. So he set a date between them. And he made sure that Shuichi knew that he'll be doing the cooking and that the night would turn out very special for the both of them. He even smiled and kissed his lover goodbye that day to show that there will be more good things to come. He thought for sure that Shuichi will remember this date and be decent enough to come home early or just in time for it.

Yuki went home early from work – he had an interview. He prepared the dishes whilst stopping himself from whistling a happy tune. He finished all dishes in time and prepared the table. He looked at the clock and noticed that it was quarter to 7 pm. He quickly showered and dressed himself in his best suit. And then he waited for his lover to return home. Fifteen minutes passed by 7 pm. Then thirty, and then an hour. Yuki realized gravely that Shuichi must've been tied up in work again.

Deeply sighing, Yuki decided to call NG corps to check on Shuichi. There was really only one person in NG Corps that Yuki would have the guts and the patience to call to. Seguchi Tohma. And so he dialed Tohma's number.

His sister's husband seemed very happy to have heard from him. He told Yuki that it was ages ago since he last heard from him. And then Tohma went on and on about how Yuki forgot all about them since he hooked up with Shuichi and other really nonsensical things. Yuki coughed to interrupt the other man.

Tohma's cheery voice switched to his cold professional one when Yuki had asked him if Shuichi was still around NG Corps. Tohma told him that Bad Luck was busy working on their sophomore album which he might add, had its deadline on the end of the month. And that, by the way, Aizawa Taki of ASK was also working with them tonight since Mr. K commissioned a collaboration between the two lead vocalists.

Yuki had barely managed to hold onto his temper as he properly thanked and bid Tohma goodbye. When he replaced the telephone down, he saw red. He will only admit this to himself now. That even if he won Shuichi's heart that day on that concert - he still had lingering doubts in the inner recesses of his heart that Shuichi might have made the wrong decision.

Yuki was insecure of Aizawa because he had more in common with Shuichi than him. Yuki was jealous of Aizawa because he gets to spend more time with Shuichi than him. In summary, Aizawa Taki and Shuichi in the same sentence almost always make him saw red. And then when the novelty of being angry had worn off, he'll be feeling green with envy. And when he was done feeling jealous, he'd be feeling depressed.

And then Yuki decided to just give up trying to understand. He needed to put his foot down. He needed to confront this problem with Shuichi. He needed to do it soon. Because if this goes on, he can't guarantee being amiable once again with Shuichi. His patience and understanding had been worn thin as it is. But he really wants to salvage whatever that is left between them.

After that conversation with Tohma, he suddenly lost the energy to try and wait for his lover to come home. He redressed to a more comfortable outfit before plopping down unabashedly on the bed. And then he thought of things he wanted to talk with Shuichi about – when he finally decides to return.

After pondering about their situation, he realized that their relationship was in bliss the first couple of months. Everyday since the concert had been a day to look forward too - because each new day brings new things to learn about Shuichi. He chuckled when he realized that their getting to know stage had been a bit late by proper standards.

And then, the relationship just spiraled down. Shuichi had more and more work to attend on as Bad Luck's popularity grew and grew. Yuki was also busy, being popular himself. Writing new novels, appearing every once in awhile in interview shows… But he never once lost time to spend with Shuichi. His lover on the other hand, didn't seem to be handling his time very well. And even though they live in the same house, they see each other so infrequently.

Yuki was still thinking about what to say to Shuichi when he heard some noises in the kitchen. He got up and stealthily sneaked on the intruder. He realized it was his lover going on about the house. He hid his presence at first. He wanted to see Shuichi's face without him knowing.

And then he sees it. Shuichi was feeling guilty by the looks of it. Yuki's overactive imagination, fueled by Tohma's unfortunate information about the collaboration, runs wild. Instead of interpreting the guilt as being that of forgetting the time of their date, it had been interpreted as being guilty because of the time he spent with Aizawa. And before Yuki had known it, he had transformed once again to his cold, unfeeling self. He decided to reveal himself to Shuichi then.

"So you finally decided to come home?" Were the words that left his mouth. Even Yuki had surprised himself at the coldness of his voice. After being so long with Shuichi and being so in love with the guy, he almost forgot that he had this personality. Needless to say it wasn't that difficult to switch back to his old mask. And that it wasn't that hard to hide the pain again.

Shuichi pleaded like mad with him, and no matter what his lover did, Yuki just can't seem to give in. Maybe Yuki realized that if he forgave Shuichi once again, he'd be in too deep. That he might never want to let Shuichi go.

Yuki realized that he was starting to feel possessive once again. And he didn't like this feeling. Not at all. Because the last time he didn't want to let go, he was left behind cruelly. Yuki knew he was on the verge of being hurt once again. And he didn't want to feel that helpless, useless and desperate once again. He's had enough of it. Enough of it.

So when Shuichi promised he'd spent the whole day with him tomorrow, he decided to work. Even if he didn't need to. He had to break this feeling of possessiveness and too much wanting of Shuichi. He didn't want another heartbreak. He better avoid it while still early.

But even Yuki knew that his counter measures were too late.


Shuichi hadn't slept a wink that night. And no, it wasn't because the couch was lumpy and uncomfortable. But because of the fact that he was stressed and feeling guilty after his fight with Yuki. And as far as he can tell, this had been the first real argument between the two of them… And Shuichi didn't have any idea on how to handle this problem.

They had petty fights before. Like how Yuki would get irritated at Shuichi who liked interrupt him during work or when Shuichi would snap at Yuki for being such a prissy at times. But it always ends up nicely. They would apologize to each other and then they'd kiss and make up. And more importantly, Yuki didn't turn cold on him, like this time around.

After tossing and turning for a couple of hours, Shuichi finally gave up trying to sleep. He decided to busy himself by doing house duty - such as washing the dishes left from the night before – while thinking of a way to make it up to Yuki.

He knew that a simple sorry wouldn't cut it. And even if he were to dedicate a whole day to spend with Yuki – like he promised the night before - it wouldn't nearly be enough. He knew he had hurt Yuki deeply by continuously putting him in the backseat. And it hurt him too to see Yuki acting that way. Even more so, because of the fact that Shuichi was the one who caused that pain.

After washing the dishes he collapsed back on the sofa and held back tears. He still didn't know what to do. Would he act all cheery tomorrow and act like nothing happened? Or would he abandon all pride and dignity to drop down to his knees and ask for forgiveness at Yuki's feet? Promising to make it up to Yuki wouldn't work, as he had his records against him… so Shuichi guessed that begging would be the best choice.

Shuichi lay on his back on the couch as the tears he was holding back fell from his eyes. He hiccupped for a bit trying while to get the hopelessness and the helplessness he felt out of his system. Once he felt lighter, he angrily swiped at his tears and vowed to himself that no matter what, he'll make it up to Yuki and that everything will be okay once again.

He'll do everything in his power to bring the Yuki he loved, back. He wouldn't dare surrender on the situation. No matter what the consequences, no matter what the actions that needed to be done, he'll do it. Because he loved Yuki so, so, so much that he wouldn't give him up without a fight.


Shuichi must've dozed off, because next thing he knew the sun was hurting his eyes. He puts a hand over his eyes to protect it. Feeling annoyed at the damned rays of the sun for waking him up, he sat up and rubbed his eyes. He yawned and sat there without moving. It was, after all, still too early to start moving about.

And then with a jolt of realization, Shuichi bolted to his feet and smacked his forehead. He should've woken early and prepared some breakfast for Yuki! It wasn't much but it's a start, right? Shuichi rushed to the kitchen to prepare something. But he happened to pass by their bedroom.

Suddenly feeling curious, or rather, just wanting to see Yuki, Shuichi tiptoed close to the door and held his breath. He remembered that Yuki wasn't much of an early person and at this early hour, he'd still be in bed. He slowly placed his hand on the doorknob, twisted it carefully and softly pushed the door.

Still holding his breath, he stuck his head in. He glanced towards the direction of their bed and saw… that it hadn't been slept on. With a start, Shuichi pushed the door hard and barged inside. He looked around the room frantically and for a moment he swore his heart stopped breathing when he saw the empty dresser and the hangers discarded on the floor.

Shuichi laughed bitterly to himself. Yuki would return home, right? He just left for work and needed some change of clothes that's all. He'll come back and… Shuichi didn't finish that train of thought. He dropped down to his knees and started wailing his heart out.
