A/N: KYAAAAAAAAAA! (dies) Yes, I've changed my action... thing. But... (continues screaming) I got Gravi #12 after crashing the Otakon with Neko-chan on lastSunday! YYYYUP... we crashed Otakon. XD (hyper-mode) I understand! Ryu isn't evil! (grin) Yay!
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravi. And now I understand how far off this is from the ending of the manga... oh well. I've been looking for the Gravitation Remix online... I just hope it isn't what I've been finding. (sob)
Drop Dead!
A yawn escaped from two rose lips, as a mass of hair hit the pillow softly. He'd been fishing out so many words and throughts from his head, that he was too tired to go on. He felt the world fade away, and tenderly reached for the sheets. But no smile was hinted upon his face. His azure eyes were closed under lids and tears, the lyrics still fresh upon his silent tongue.
In the quiet den, Eiri continued to drink from the can of beer, working on the ending of his latest novel. For some reason, he wasn't happy with the ending. Usually, he liked his endings. The kind that left the reader with a heavy heart and thoughts of realization that not all conclusions happy. So, then what was wrong with this one? Half the people either gone or dead, leaving the protagonist cold. That wasn't a terribly harsh ending... right? He pulled up a document on his laptop and began to change his plot.
It was then he realised that it seemed too quiet, even though the rain outside provided some background noise. Leaving his work where it was, he walked about the apartment, until he found a bundle snoozing in the sheets. He picked up the tablet, and began to read what was scribbled across the pages.
I know that you care for me
But the words do not exist to describe
So I'm left with the feeling of wonder
Maybe you'll figure it out with time
Hold me the way you do
Because it feels like love
Don't leave me
This is enough
We'll make it
We won't be in mystery forever
Don't stop now
The pieces are finally coming together
Your eyes are flooded with tears
Hold me, kiss me
Let me be your restoration
You'll see, clearly
The rain is falling
But the sun still has shine
Both cold and warmth bind
And colors paint the sky
Hold me the way you do
Because it feels like love
Though we have our rain
We also have our sun
The blonde blinked. Had Shuichi just written this? And if so, was he talking about their relationship? It seemed to make sense. He remembered that he had quickly ran back to his room when an apparent thought crossed his mind. But then that brought him back to what the uke had said before.
"Yuki, there's something I'd like to ask..."
Eyeing his can quickly and peering up at Shuichi before he had a chance to taste, he replied, "Well, ask it."
"Do I... no, never mind. I'll ask later." Something seemed to bloom in his mind, and he ran off from Eiri's sight, whom shrugged and headed for the den.
"Do you what?" he whispered outloud. He jumped when the sheets began to rustle, and Shuichi's head popped out from underneath. "Are you awake?"
"Nngh... Yuki?" His eyes were half-open, but they were wet. Tears were spilling down his cheeks. "Is that you?"
The green eyes were wide-open. What had upset his lover once more? He hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, right? So, then, why was he crying? "What's wrong?" he asked, walking closer to the bed.
"Nothing," he replied sleepily, "It's nothing."
"Shuichi..." The novelist sat on the bedside, his hand playing with the soft bangs hiding the singer's saddened eyes. "Something always makes you upset. So, what is it this time?"
The room was silent for a few seconds, which passed like minutes. Then Shuichi blurted, "Do I only exist to be Kitazawa?"
Eiri's expression became open. "Kitazawa?"
"Why is he always there?" His tears ran faster than the rain outside. "I think that you're only in love with him still! That... I'm only here as a replacement. Is that it? Or... you'd know that this is love! But my love is unrequited, isn't it?..." His sobs became louder and harder, his throat tight and his precious vocal chords scratching inside. His face dug into the nearest pillow to control his weeping.
The man immediately pulled his lover into an embrace. His face sought the warm chest, lying a coat of fresh tears onto the front of his gray shirt. A hand held his head closer, and an arm wrapped the body to his. "You're wrong. You may be like Kitazawa, but you're not him. The reasons why I've kept you by my side so long is because of the way you are and the things you've done. Kitazawa has nothing to do with the idiotic stunts you pull, or the way that we make love. Shuichi... sometimes, well, I question whether or not this is really love. But your feelings are never completely one-sided. Don't you ever doubt that." And the muffled cries of young adult became quiet, occasional sobs.
"I understand, Yuki. We'll figure out everything--"
"No." He looked up at him, confused. No? "We may solve some of our puzzles, but some of the things we've gone through will be forever a mystery, as they were meant to be." Only the rain was heard as Shuichi fell asleep in the arms of his comfort, and Eiri watched him, his face soft, lines curved perfectly to make him look beautiful: much like an angel.
And later that night, Shuichi once more grabbed his tablet, ripped out his old lyrics, and wrote the revised verses...
There's something in the air
It's something I can't describe
The wonder in our hearts
If we could ever stop time
Hold me the way you do
Because it feels like love
Don't leave me behind
What we have is enough
We'll make it
Don't think about our troubles for ever
Don't stop now
The pieces are coming together
Your eyes can't mask your pain
Hold me, kiss me
Let me be your restoration
You'll see, clearly
The rain is pouring from the clouds
But the sun still has it's shine
Both the cold and the warmth bind
And their colors paint the sky
Hold me the way you do
Because it feels like love
Though we have our rain
We also have our sun
"Zero talent." Shuichi looked behind him to see the blonde, his straight face hiding the smirk. "Just give it up."
"Yuki! I can't believe you!" He pouted, arms crossed in front of his chest. "Why do you always--" But his yelling was interrupted by a pair of lips, and his sentence was never finished.
A/N: (snnnnooooorrrrrre) Ehh? O.o Oh... uhh... yeah. I was too lazy to add more. I cheated the length with the (sucky) lyrics... mwehehe. (And you can't deny they suck!) Eiri said I had zero talent. ;.; He's right... T.T
Anyway, if you, as the reader, have read all 12 volumes of the manga... well... yes. I sorta stole the theme for my own usage. But... eh. This is a bases from the anime, and none of this happened... so... I'm retelling it. NYEAH! But it wasn't a complete imitation... it wasn't like Eiri started crying again and Shuichi threw a fit about Kitazawa (not CRIED about it, mind you). Hm. That wasn't much of a spoiler. ...meh.
Yeah, yeah. That's not the end. The point of the story was Shuichi dropping dead. Yes... he's gonna die. JUST kidding! Eiri still hasn't said those three words! ...and no, they're not, "Vinni vinni vichi!" ...I was a stupid kid.
About the Remixes... please tell me that they're not so graphic, and I found the wrong things! Please tell me that Tatsuha doesn't... (ahem) Eiri, and PLEASE tell me that ASK doesn't have a threesome! (Yeah, I saw... stuff O.O; ) Ugh... I don't enjoy explicit content... BLECH! Oh... and Eiri/Tohma/Shu wasn't suiting my fancy as well...
