Fighting or Loving Chapter 14: Music Nest, a gravitation fanfic

Was the last chappie confusing? Don't worry, it'll be explained better in this story. I've been told that it's taking to long for Eiri and Shuichi to get together, well I like a challenge but maybe we'll have some boy/boy action since I feel sorry for the people waiting on it (not really)

Disclaimer—the thing that belongs to me is the plot!

After Shuichi had ran off from Eiri, Eiri went home. He threw his car keys on the floor and he kicked off his shoes.

"Hard day?"

"Don't you ever go home?" Eiri asked his brother while going to his fridge to get a beer.

"There's nothing to do at my house, plus if I hang out with you all the time I'll have a excuse to see Tohma, and then I can meet Ryuichi."

"Why don't you just go bother Mika?"

"Because you are more fun, so how goes it with Shuichi, did you get him doggie-style yet?"

"That brat has more emotions then Ayaka, I don't have time to deal with him."

"Ha! Bullshit! You are just saying that because you hate to wait. Just seduce him, be creative, if you knew all the things I would to do Ryuichi when I see him--!"

"I don't want to hear it, Tatsuha." Eiri sighed as he drained the beer in two gulps.

"Take it easy man. Where's Ayaka?"

"She's crazy and I let her run off. She'll come back sometime tonight."

"She's going to be sad when you don't open the door for her. I'm so glad father expects nothing of me."

"That's not a good excuse to lay around like you do." Eiri got another beer.

"Whatever, I need a place to crash, so I'm staying here tonight."

"No the hell you aren't. Go home now."

"Fine, I'll just go to Shuichi's house, I know where he lives."

"You wouldn't." Eiri glared at his brother.

"Shuichi looks a lot like Ryuichi, ya know?" Tatsuha laughed.

"You can sleep on the couch, but only for tonight."

"Aren't you protective of the boy, I wonder what Ayaka will do to him when she finds out how fond of him you are."

"You come over to torment me, don't you?"

"You guessed it."

"I don't have time for this. I'm going into my office, try not to make to much noise, please."

"I can't promise anything." Tatsuha said winking. Eiri rolled his eyes, went into his room and slammed his door.

When Shuichi got home, he went into his room, lied down on his bed, and put his face in his pillow screaming.

"What was I thinking?" Shuichi yelled pulling his hair. I'm so stupid! Shuichi said as he continued to harm his self. Eiri had basically threw him self onto Shuichi, and what did the BAKA do? He turned him down!

"But I had to make him understand!" Shuichi said to his pillow. "I have to make him understand that I could like him without a reason, I don't expect nothing of him yet he thinks I do. Can't I love without justice?" The pillow didn't answer Shuichi. Shuichi threw the pillow and buried his face in his hands.

The night of the performance Shuichi was a nervous wreck. He couldn't eat, sleep or even think straight. Bad Luck would be picked up in a limo provided by Nikka who was more excited then they were, if that was even possible. Shuichi had spent hours getting his outfit together but when he started to get dressed his father knocked on the door.

"Son?"

"Yes father?" Shuichi said quickly hiding the clothes as Shindou-san let himself in.

"I just wanted to see what you were up to. I haven't seen you in a couple of days."

"I've been busy. I've got my friends Suguru and Nakano to help me with home work."

"Those kids are the brightest of that school. You are getting good help, although I would prefer it if I got you a private tutor."

"Why?"

"I don't want anyone to think that my son is a invalid. It would be better if I got you a private tutor so no one will know that you need help in school."

"But Father. Isn't that normal?"

"Not for a Shindou it isn't. I know that your sister is very smart, so you must have a brain under all that mush."

"Well sir, Hiroshi and Fujisaki invited me to go to a chess club meeting, so I'm leaving with them."

"Son, it's pretty late."

"Smart people never worry about time." Shuichi said his smile twitching some. Shindou laughed and patted his son on the back.

"You have a sense of humor. I like that, you can go far in the world, Shuichi." Shindou said getting up to leave.

"Yes, sir, I'm sure I'll get far in the world." Shuichi said going to lock his father out of his room. Shuichi when he heard his foot steps fade away. Shuichi quickly put on his clothes. (A/N: Remember the outfit that he wore when he was performing for the first time?) When Shuichi had finished preening himself he heard a horn honk. Shuichi quickly went downstairs before his father could question him as to why he was being picked up in a limo.

"Hurry up, slow poke!" Nikka said opening the door for Shuichi from inside. Shuichi smiled as he got into the car. Everyone was looking super cool.

"Wow! You guys look awesome!" Shuichi said in delight.

"We could say the same thing to you!" Nikka said laughing. Nikka had on tight white leather pants and a matching sleeveless vest.

"We are going to have fun tonight!" Hiro said.

"Yea, I know we will win. I can feel it in my bones."

"Right!" Shuichi said laughed. "Nikka, we are under age kids, how did you get the booze?"

"Ask no questions, get no lies." Nikka said coolly opening up a bottle of champagne. Shuichi looked at Hiro and Fujusaki who both shrugged their shoulders.

"You guys don't want anything to drink?" Nikka said pouring herself a glass full. Nikka poured the wine for Bad Luck and they drunk it greedily down.

"Are you guys nervous?" Nikka asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Of course not." Hiro said already holding his glass out for more. Nikka poured it for him and rolled her eyes smiling.

"You guys will do fine. Don't worry, be happy!" Nikka said in a vague attempt to cheer the boys up. They all nodded their heads slowly not really feeling her words. Nikka rolled her eyes. "I swear." Nikka said as she turned up the radio full blast. Nikka started dancing wildly to the music. Bad Luck didn't have a choice but to start laughing and joining her.

"Come Eiri! You have to hurry up or we might miss their performance." Ayaka yelled to her fiancé. Eiri rolled his eyes for having the mistake of telling Ayaka about being invited to their show.

"Ayaka, we are not going to be late."

"I wonder if Nikka will be there."

"Probably, she is their best girl friend."

"Ha! To Nakano and Fujisaki but not my Shuichi!"

"If I were you I would be trying to push Shuichi away instead of bringing him closer." Tatsuha said as he came into the living room and sat next to Ayaka.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ayaka said smiling at Tatsuha. Ayaka had always liked the youngest Uesugi.

"Anything you want it to." Tatsuha said smirking at Eiri who was slightly seething at the boy. Ayaka looked puzzled at the look that passed between them.

"What's going on?" Ayaka asked.

"Nothing really, are we leaving or what?" Tatsuha said getting up.

"Who invited you?" Eiri said. Eiri said stepping to his brother.

"I did, I'm doing you a favor, I'm keeping Ayaka away from you while you do your thing with Shu-chan." Tatsuha whispered in Eiri's ear. Eiri frowned at this thought but didn't say anything. Tatsuha had apparently thought this night out more then what Eiri himself did.

"Fine." Eiri said. "Let's go."

"I'm driving!" Tatsuha said grabbing the car keys and running out the front door. Eiri sighed as he followed after his younger, slightly stupid brother.

"We are going to kick ass tonight!" Ken said to Ma-kun.

"Yea, I know. That idiot doesn't know whom he is missing with. We are the best group around and Bad Luck better recognize!"

"Kids calm down." Taki said laughing at his friends eagerness. "We will get what we want tonight, there is no doubt about it." Taki said laughing as he grabbed on to one of his groupies and kissed her in the mouth.

"Here we are." Nikka said as she got out of the limo with the help of Hiro's hand. Bad Luck took a very, very, very deep breath and walked into the Music Nest. The music was so loud even the ground was thumping.

"This place has no class at all!" Nikka said in distaste.

"Look, there's ASK, bathing in their false glory." Fujisaki said. Sure enough the idiots were making out with girls and being loud.

"I hate them." Shuichi said, cracking his knuckles, he would love to punch Taki, right in the stomach with all of his might.

"Stop having the dark thoughts I know you are having." Hiro said.

"I'll try." Shuichi said grinning evilly. Fujisaki and Nikka looked at each other but didn't say anything.

"Shuichi!" Called out a voice. Shuichi turned around to find Ayaka and Tatsuha standing behind him.

"Hello Ayaka."

"You don't know Eiri's younger brother, Tatsuha. Tatsuha this is Shuichi." Ayaka said completely ignoring the rest of Bad Luck and Nikka.

"Nice meeting you Shuichi." Tatsuha said winking at Shuichi who blushed.

"Since Ayaka is a little b—rude, my name is Nikka and this Fujisaki and Hiroshi."

"Nice to see you again cousin. Hello, Hiroshi. Mademoiselle." Tatsuha shook their hands and he kissed Nikka's hand causing the girl to giggle.

"So where is Eiri?" Nikka asked.

"He was here when we got here but he decided to take a little break." Tatsuha said causally.

"You don't need to know his whereabouts anyway." Ayaka said glaring daggers at Nikka.

"I promised Hiroshi and Fujisaki I would be nice so I won't start with you."

"Just like you to follow every commend like a dog." Ayaka said under her breath but Nikka heard it anyway.

"You bitch!" Nikka said starting to come at Ayaka. Hiro and Fujisaki both grabbed Nikka by her arms, pulling her along. "We'll see you in a few minutes!" Hiro said.

"Why must you say things like that? You probably will hate to hear this but Nikka is a lot more stronger then you and we can't stop her all the time."

"Shuichi, how can you say such things? I thought we were close." Ayaka whined. Shuichi wanted to yell, "We can never be close because you are getting married to the man I'm falling for." But he instead settled on a nonchalant shrugged of shoulders.

"Ayaka, let's go get something to drink. See ya later Shu-chan!" Tatsuha said. Shuichi blushed at the name because he hadn't been called that since he left his sister. The lights around him went dim and some beautiful fake blonde walked onto stage.

"Ladies and Gents," she said in thick British accent, "today we are having a Battle -Off! ASK vs. Bad Luck! These two bands have been slowly making a name for themselves, and tonight will determine which band should stay and which will be packing their bags!" There was a loud applause. "Tonight we shall have ASK perform first since they are veterans of the place!" Another loud applause.

"Those lying fucks!" Shuichi said out loud. They had already played at this place before which gave them a better chance of winning!

"Shuichi, did you hear that?" Nikka said, coming to him calmer then what she was before.

"Yea, I heard it." Shuichi said. "But that doesn't mean anything because they still haven't been picked up. So we still have a slightly fair chance."

"Sometimes it's not always about fairness." Hiro said. "We will still beat them, right Shuichi?"

"Of course." Shuichi took a deep breath as he watched ASK give it their all. Grudgingly he had to admit that they were pretty damn good. When they had finished, everyone clapped loudly.

"Wow! Like always they are always the best!" The announcer said. "But then again I shouldn't be so biased, now let's have Bad Luck and hope their luck will be good since it will take something amazing to beat ASK!"

"Go ahead guys!" Nikka said grabbing on to Shuichi's arm when she noticed that he was trying to run away. "Shuichi, you are a way better singer then Taki! You have to prove it!" Shuichi nodded his head slowly, going on the stage with Hiro and Suguru following behind him. Shuichi went to the mike and held it in his hands, shaking slightly. Why was he so nervous now? Well because if he lost then he wasn't really made to sing and that scared Shuichi. It brought a cold fear all over Shuichi's heart.

Just when Shuichi was about to drop the mike and run off stage he saw Eiri, his Yuki, leaning against the farthest corner with sunglasses and a long black over coat. Yuki pulled his sunglasses down to the bridge of his nose, and he winked and smiled at Shuichi. He then started to do some hand gestures that said, "Don't win, don't talk to me." Shuichi did a slight nod of his head and started to sing.

When you feel it in your body
You found somebody who makes you change your ways
Like hanging with your crew
Said you act like you're ready
But you don't really know
And everything in your past - you wanna let it go

I've been there, done it, fucked around
After all that - this is what I found
Nobody wants to be alone
If you're touched by the words in this song
Then baby...

U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad

Shuichi started back singing in a stronger voice as he felt his confidence go up.

When you say that you love 'em
And you really know
Everything that used to matter, don't matter no more
Like my money, all my cars
(You can have it all back)
Flowers, cards and candy
(I do it just cause I'm...)
Said I'm fortunate to have you girl
I want you to know
I really adore you
All my people who know what's going on
Look at your mate, help me sing my song
Tell her I'm your man, you're my girl
I'm gonna tell it to the whole wide world
Ladies say I'm your girl, you're my man
Promise to love you the best I can

See I've been there, done it, fucked around
After all that - this is what I found
Everyone of y'all are just like me
It's too bad that you can't see
That you got it bad...hey

Hiro then started to do his guitar solo, which blew everyone's minds.

Shuichi finished his song and the whole place was quiet. Shuichi had once again stunned everyone with his amazing voice. "Bad Luck! Bad Luck! Bad Luck!" Nikka started to chant and soon everyone joined in. Shuichi smiled happily and high-fived Hiro and Fujisaki. He jumped off the stage and run into the arms of Nikka and the both and them jumped wildly up and down.

"Well, that was a awesome performance! Sorry ASK, you guys are good, but not as good as Bad Luck, who are our winners, hands down!" Everyone started cheering loudly and Shuichi saw Taki. Taki glared at the boy and Shuichi stuck his tongue out at him. Taki stormed off with Ma-kun and Ken following him.

"We won the contest but now we have to win the bet." Hiro said to Fujisaki and Shuichi.

"Piece of cake." Fujisaki said taking Nikka by the arm and going off to dance with her.

"Want to dance hottie?" A beautiful girl asked Hiro. "Sure." Hiro said happily going off with the girl. "See ya later Shuichi!"

"Yea, bye." Shuichi said laughing as Hiro went off to the dance floor. Shuichi sighed, feeling slightly lonely.

"Hiya!" Shuichi turned around to find Tatsuha smiling at him.

"Oh, what's up Tatsuha?"

"Nothing really, just hanging out." Tatsuha smiled at Shuichi. "Want to know where Aniki is?"

"He is probably off somewhere with Ayaka and I'd rather not disturb them." Shuichi said not keeping the bitterness out of his voice.

"Man, you just sounded totally bitchy, now I see what Aniki means."

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing really." Tatsuha said. Shuichi realized that he was starting to hate that comment, 'Nothing really.'

"Was there something you wanted to tell me?" Shuichi said somewhat coldly.

"I just wanted to tell you that Ayaka is off somewhere and that Aniki is alone, if you want to talk to him. I'll be seeing you later Shu-chan." Tatsuha winked at Shuichi and left. Shuichi sighed after the confusing younger boy. Shuichi was going to go dance but some—one more interesting caught his eye. YUKI! And the best thing about them is that he was alone! No Ayaka! Shuichi went over to the older man and smiled at him.

"So how did I do?" Shuichi asked the boy smiling slightly.

"You can rival the talents of Nittle Grasper."

"Are you sure about that?" Both Shuichi and Yuki turned around to see Tohma standing there in all his glory.

"What are you doing here?" Yuki asked coldly.

"I had some news that two great bands would be playing tonight and I decided to see how they sounded. I must admit they both sounded good but I can only chose one." Tohma turned to Shuichi and smiled. "You were very good tonight, you remind me of someone I know. What is your name?"

"I forgot." Shuichi said, so surprised that his idol was talking to him.

"That's all you came here for Tohma?" Asked Eiri, rolling his eyes at Shuichi.

"Well yes, but I decided to stay longer when I saw you watching this boy." Tohma said, speaking like Shuichi wasn't standing right there.

"He invited me to come, so here I am. Why are acting so suspicious? Ayaka is here with me."

"But I don't want to have a repeat to what happened with Kitazawa."

"That doesn't have anything to do with what I'm doing now. Why must you always bring up the past?"

"I'm only trying to do what is best for you Eiri."

"I rather you wouldn't, seems like you only ever succeed in pissing me off."

"What's all this about?" Taki asked coming to where Shuichi was standing. Shuichi heard Eiri curse.

"I think you've just won the bet." Ken-chan said in awe. Taki sent Ken a glare.

"How the fuck can he win so quickly? No one can have that good of luck, What the hell is going?"

"Come with me Shuichi." Eiri whispered as he started walking away.

"Hold on Shuichi! You piss me off so much! You are such a fucking spaz yet you get your way all the time! What the fuck is up with that?"

"Back off Taki!" Shuichi hissed, his hands clenching together as he got ready for the fight.

"No I won't back off! Stupid fag!" Taki tried to hit Shuichi but Shuichi dodged his punch and kicked him swiftly in the stomach. Soon everyone was fighting.

"Tohma you realize that this is all your fault." Eiri said.

"I'm only trying to help, but if you feel it is what you must do, then by all means don't let me stop you." Tohma stepped aside with his head bowed.

"We'll talk about this later."

"I'm pretty sure we will." Eiri grabbed Shuichi by the shoulder and pulled him away from the fight.

"Wait! I was just about to knock him to kingdom come! Just one more hit and I promise we can leave!" Shuichi protested as Yuki dragged him to his car.

"Shuichi calm down. You had the whole place fighting!"

"So?" Shuichi said with that crazed look in his eyes. Yuki rolled his eyes and started his car.

"Where are we going?"

"To my place, then I'll take you home if you want." Eiri said, speeding off Shuichi was silent for a few minutes as he looked at Eiri.

"You've thought about what I said."

"Correct." Yuki said.

"And you understand what I mean, right?"

"Yes I understand."

"Good, tonight I want to stay the night with you." Shuichi said. Eiri almost went off the road.

"What?"

"Eiri, I like you." Shuichi leaned over and kissed Eiri on the cheek since he was driving. "I can't hide my feelings any longer. Sure you pissed me off when you thought I wanted only one thing, well that is the thought. I only want you. I know you don't believe no one can love without justice but that is not true, just being near you is enough for me."

"Shuichi, you know nothing about me."

"But I will in time. You'll tell me about yourself and I'll tell you about me. We can truly have fun together. I promise you."

"Why are you acting like this?"

"I don't know, I guess it is to make you understand. Plus it seems like everyone is trying to get us together anyway. Except for Ayaka, who will be mad that you are going to cancel your engagement. Right?"

"I suppose."

"Good." Shuichi noticed that Yuki was a lot nicer to him since the thought of sex came up. Shuichi reached for Yuki's hand and kissed it. "Just promise you will be gentle."

TADA! NEXT CHAPTER IS DONE. Guess what I heard, I heard the only reason why Maki quit writing for Gravitation is because she wanted to continue on her other story, which I don't even know the name of it. Gravitation is such a big hit but she wants to continue on some bull shit story that no one cares about but herself. IT'S NOT FAIR! I want more Gravitation and I'm afraid I won't get enough and that scares me! I'll update when I can because we all know that I am lazy.
