So me being me decided to continue this. As if I didn't have enough fics waiting to be finished. This one however is going to be short and light, so don't get mad at me for the lack of long chapters. It's just the way it is.
Disclaimer: Don't own them. Still, they are very kidnappable and so, a fic.
Shuichi got a letter from a fan. A real true love letter... something he wished Yuki would tell him but never does. How is he reacting to that?
Chapter Two: Strange Behavior
Shuichi had been acting strangely. It wasn't the fact that he had been quiet during dinner, or that he hadn't complain when Yuki had disappeared in the studio, or that he left the next day without waking him up.
It was in the fact that he arrived on time to work the next morning, and didn't even tried to have a break every couple of hours. It was in the way he smiled when Suguru suggested a different approach to one of his songs and the way he laughed politely at K's jokes.
It was reflected on the fact that he hadn't paid much attention to his idol when they had had lunch together, or that he didn't accepted Hiro's offer for a ride.
Shuichi was acting strangely and everyone around noticed the change. No one said a word though, no one tried to figure out what was going on, no one questioned him when he left by foot the building where he worked.
No one saw him entering the postal office disguised, or heard him when he asked for some stamps for Yokohama. No one saw him writing a letter, and sending it under a fake name to an address in a place he had never been, where no one he knew lived.
He returned to normal the next day. Perhaps with a little less concentration than usual, but so little no one really cared at all. For a week and a half nothing unusual for them happened. One day Shuichi left early, saying he had some errands to do, but besides that, everything seemed fine.
That went on for a couple of months until finally, his best friend noticed the subtle change in him. Perhaps it had been the guilty look he had when he had been asked what kind of errands he did every Friday on the afternoon. Or maybe on the sarcastic tone he had when he had answered that Eiri and him were fine. But most likely, it had been the way Shuichi avoided eye contact with the writer at the last party they had organized.
Yuki seemed to have noticed too, as he had interrogated Hiro a few days latter, only to find out he knew as much of what Shuichi was doing as himself. For a moment they had only stared each other, until finally a thought struck them both. Realization appeared in their eyes, but none of them dared to make the question, because say it aloud would mean the lost of something bigger than themselves.
However, the thought stood there and in that instant began to consume them. Shuichi was cheating Yuki.
You think Shu would never do such thing? Ha, the naivety of the world...
