Disclaimer - I don't own Gravitation… T-T

AN - I've had this idea for a long time and I was gonna do Touma first, but Tatsuha seemed more interesting and I like him better, so, yeah… Hope you enjoy this.

Summary - The first encounter of Suguru and Tatsuha and what happened in the years after.

Pairing - Slight Tatsuha / Suguru, but only if you want it to be. I went with more of a friendship approach, why,'cause Shu/Su is so much cuter! Or how 'bout Taki/Su? ...Eh? Don't like it? Fine...just a suggestion.

The Years Past - Suguru and Tatsuha

Chapter One

A frustrated childish sigh amidst the laughing, talking and gossiping of adults, which was carelessly missed. The Seguchi family had once again thrown another one of their fancy parties, inviting all those famous or multi-millionaire style people and, for some strange reason, the little talked about Uesugi family, a family that certainly did not fit in any of those categories. Though, nonetheless, they came, but the little boy had yet to see them. His cousin had told him that only the youngest and oldest of the children were coming, the father taking to staying home and keeping the middle child, Eiri, with him.

The little boy sighed once again. His cousin, Touma, didn't mind being smothered by all those stuck-up, rich people, but Suguru sure did. Being pulled along only to meet smelly and make-up plastered people at every step was not how he'd like to spend his night. No, he could have been watching cartoons at home, with his friends, which reminded him…why couldn't they come! They were even older than him! Suguru was just a small five-year-old, what did people want with him?

But, though he thought all these things, he said none aloud, knowing his cousin would be very disappointed with his whining. But, that still didn't stop him from groaning and sighing and doing anything and everything that showed he did not want to be here. It went unnoticed and Suguru wasn't surprised. Who'd listen to a little five-year-old an- Hey…What was that?

…(Tug) … (Tug) …

"What?" Suguru muttered, twisting his head around to look behind him. His vision was immediately filled with light blue eyes. Suguru blinked. "Wha!" He cried, jumping back in shock, after the long delay.

His cousin immediately set him right softly and went right back to his conversation.

Suguru glared at him a moment, before sighing and looking back down, this time seeing a boy not much bigger then himself standing before him.

He blinked as did the other boy.

"…Hey there!" The boy replied cheerfully, waving slightly. "What's your name?"

"Uh…it's Suguru." The green-haired boy replied, staring at the other black-haired boy suspiciously. He subconsciously gripped his cousin's hand tighter.

"Oh…that's a cool name!" The boy replied, just as cheerfully as before. "Mine's Tatsuha. Tatsuha Uesugi. Mika's little brother."

"Mi…ka?" Suguru muttered, testing the name out.

"Uh huh." Suguru said, nodding rapidly. "Do you know her?"

"Yeah…" Suguru stated, smirking slightly. "She's the one my cousin likes."

At this moment, Tatsuha smile faded into a look of confusion. "Your Mr. Seguchi's cousin?"

"Uh…yeah…" Suguru replied nervously, smirk now gone.

"Seriously?" And you could see Tatsuha's eyes light up.

"Um…yeah…" Suguru mumbled nodding, a bit afraid of what the boy would do next.

"I can't believe I'm finally meeting you!" Tatsuha cried happily as he glomped Suguru, causing them both to fall to the ground.

"Uh…uh…" Suguru muttered nervously when the boy had showed no signs of letting go or getting up.

Tatsuha looked up at the other, chin on chest, arms still around the other's waist. "Are you okay?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.

Suguru turned face, gently trying to ease the other, hyper boy off. "Yeah, I'm f-fine." He stuttered.

The other gave him a look. "You don't look fiiiiine! Hey, what the!" Tatsuha cried as he was pulled off Suguru by his collar, landing him on his bottom on the floor. "Hey-" He started out angrily, but when seeing the frown on his sister's face, stopped. "M-Mika." He stuttered nervously. "H-How ya doing, sis?"

"Tats." The brunette nodded. "Now, what were you doing to that poor boy?" Mika asked, nodding towards Suguru, who was now sitting up while watching curiously.

Tatsuha blinked. "I was hugging him." He answered simply.

"But why?" The sister asked, resisting the urge to roll her eyes

"Why? Well, 'cause I was glad to see him, of course."

"Yes, I'm sure he's glad to meet you, too, but are you sure he wants to get hugged, especially when you just met." Mika explained, now kneeling in front of her brother.

"But…everyone s'possed to like hugs!" Tatsuha cried, defending himself.

"Eiri doesn't."

"Oh…oh, yeah."

"Good, now apologize."

"Okay…" Tatsuha muttered, sighing before turning to the young boy in front of him. Bowing, with hands by his sides, he apologized. "I'm really very sorry. I did not know you would not have liked what I had done. Forgive me." The boy spit off, almost mechanically, like he'd done it a million times before. Though, he still said it in an sincere tone.

"Uh…it's o-okay." Suguru muttered, sweat dropping slightly.

The head snapped up. "Re-" But before he could even get another syllable out, his sister pushed him back into a bow. "I'm mean…No, I really mu-" He got cut off, most likely because he had added a sarcastic tone.

"Tats…" Mika warned.

Tatsuha sighed. "No…I really must say sorry."

"Uh…all right?" Suguru muttered, sweat drop growing.

"All right." Mika said finally. "You may stand."

Tatsuha sighed as he stood back up, rolling his eyes. "Finally…"

Mika smiled, said something to the male blonde she was talking to and walked off, leaving the boys in complete silence. Tatsuha refused to meet the others eyes in embarrassment of his sister's intrusion and Suguru was inwardly debating about what to do next. Well, as much as a five-year-old can debate.

Finally, he sighed. "Uh…Tatsuha?" Suguru asked reluctantly, still a bit embarrassed at all that had happened.

The bigger boy, in height of course, seemed to brighten slightly at his name and he turned slowly to Suguru. "Yeah…?" Tatsuha asked, hope shining clearly in his voice.

He received no answer, instead was given a hug.

Tatsuha instantly began grinning again, hugging the green-haired boy back.

"Thanks…" Suguru mumbled sincerely, but quickly added. "For taking my cousin away."

Tatsuha smiled, never once looking towards the boy as he remained in the childish embrace. "Does this mean we're friends now?" Tatsuha asked softly.

"Yeah…Tats-kun."

The boy nearly burst with joy and showed it by hugging tighter and crying shrilly. "Sugu-chan!"

"Uh…Tats-kun? L-Let go! It h-hurts!" Suguru cried out, trying to wiggle out of the others vice grip.

"Oh! Sorry!" Tatsuha cried, quickly letting go of the boy and commencing to bow very quickly. "Sorry!"

"Yeah…" Suguru muttered, trying to get the feeling back in his arms.

…

…

…

"Sugu-chan?" Tatsuha asked meekly, now standing straight, though with his head bowed.

"What?"

At the slightly soft, normal tone, Tatsuha peeked up at his new friend. "You know I love you…right?"

He was greeted with a grin and a shake of the head.

And thus began the friendship of the clones of the future Eiri Yuki and Soujiro Hawasaki. Let their friendship be better than the afore mentioned and one that doesn't cause as much destruction. Though, seeing as how the first thing they did was make a stink bomb and set it off, probably not. (sweat drop)

To Be Continued

AN - Just got two things to say. One, I've already finished the whole story and I'll be updating weekly and two; if you wanna know who Soujiro Hawasaki is, read my other story, 'The Sakis'. Oh, one more little, tiny thing...Does Taki/Su really sound that bad?
