CHAPTER 8: Surprise!
Shinori sat on the school rooftop again, munching some sushi that he have for lunch. He was looking at the sky, admiring it's beauty and forming a setting for a story he was writing. He got his pen and paper. The school rooftop was his favorite place in school. No one goes there, and is far away from the noise of students. Well, except for one.
"Hey, whatcha doin' Uesugi?" a female voice asked.
"Wha- hey, where are you?" Shinori asked. He heard the voice, but could not find it's owner.
"Hehe, psycho! I'm up here!"
Shinori looked up, and saw Kurosaki beaming down at him. She was sitting beside the school tank.
"Hey! That's dangerous!" Shinori shouted.
"Whatever!" Kurosaki jumped and landed perfectly.
"Totally like an amazon. Did you learn that from the jungle?" Shinori teased.
"Shut up brat. So, what are you doing here?"
"Maybe, I am the one to ask you that." Shinori said. "What are you doing here?"
"I was here first." Kurosaki said simply.
"But this is where I go during lunch time." Shinori defended.
"Yeah, I know that. But you didn't know that I was always a couple of minutes ahead when it comes to coming here." She stuck out her tongue.
"What, you mean you're always here, when I'm..
"Yes, I was the first one to discover this place before you Uesugi. I was always sitting beside the tank that's why you never saw me. How else could I find you that day you forgot your lunch?"
Shinori sighed. He thought he was spending a good time all by himself. "Then, why didn't you acknowledge me?"
"That's because you were just quiet, so I don't have a problem with you. I like quiet places." Kurosaki pointed out and sat on the ground.
"Hey, my lunch.. I can't finish it. so I think, you should be helping me." Shinori handed Kurosaki his lunch pack.
"Wow! I haven't ate sushi for a long time! Thanks!"
"For a long time?"
"Hai, unlike you. I bet you always eat these stuff. We can't afford it."
Shinori bowed his head down. It was true. They always eat at fancy restaurants, order the most expensive foods, buy elegant clothings, and many more. On the other hand, Kurosaki was just poor.. and adopted..
"Hey!" Kurosaki snapped. "Are ya listening to me Uesugi!"
"Wha- what? Sorry, I was thinking about something."
"I'm asking you, did you say sorry to Shindou san?"
"A- ah.. that's.. eh,..well, not yet."
"B. A. K. A !" she hit Shinori on the head and shove a rice ball on her mouth. "Hmm.. this one's yummy too."
"What's that for?"
"That's mmm.. for .. being a dickhead. I told you, mmm.. get a brain and apologize. Shit, who made this? It's really delicious."
"Chichi made that."
"See? He made this for you, and you can't apologize! I can't see why you have the guts to eat this. If I were your mother, I'll put poison on your food so I won't have a brat as my son." Her grey cold eyes narrowed at Shinori.
Shinori laughed. "Thanks Kurosaki san, you always make me laugh."
"That's not intentional, it just comes out naturally, because mom taught us to be happy with whatever we have. And I'm not joking, I'll really put poison on your food."
be.. happy.. with whatever you have..
The school bell rang.
"Thanks for the food Uesugi san." Kurosaki bowed. "Extend my thanks to Shindou san.."
"Kurosaki.."
She turned around and looked at Shinori.
"umm.. thanks also.. and.."
"And?"
"And, just call me Shinori. Uesugi is a little formal."
"Both names, they are formal. I prefer calling you jerk." Kurosaki smirked and hurried to their classroom, and Shinori followed, smiling, not realizing that he was blushing.
"Shinori! Dinner!" Yuki called.
They sat around the dining table, said their prayers and ate quietly. Shinori was nervous eating his food. He could recall Kurosaki's words.
If I were your mother, I'll put poison on your food so I won't have a brat as my son.
"Oi stinky brat! What have I been telling you! Chew your food properly!" Yuki scolded.
"S- sorry Dad."
Shuichi didn't look up.
"Shuichi, I'll be out after dinner, I have a meeting with my editor."
"Hai." Shuichi replied.
What the- it's unfair! Dad apologized already? He promised we'll apologize together!
Yuki smirked. He could see Shinori's reaction. "Well, I gotta go! Ja!" he kissed Shuichi, and crumpled Shinori's hair.
The door slammed shut. Shinori and Shuichi could hear the rumbling noise of Yuki's car.
They sat there quietly, finishing their meal, not looking at each other.
Get some brain and apologize! Say sorry from the bottom of your heart. Shinori recalled his dad and friend's advice.
Here it goes.. you just need to say those words.. sor.. sorry.
Screech..
Shuichi stood up, producing a screeching noise as his chair scratched the floor.
Oh geez.. he's .. he's standing! What will I ..
Shuichi was stopped by warm arms on his waist.
"Chi..Chichi"
There was complete silence, Shinori's arms were locked trembling on Shuichi's waist.
"Do you have something you wanna say Shinori?" Shuichi said darkly.
Shinori was surprised. Shuichi never talked to him in that way.
"I.. chichi.. I - I just wanna say.. I just wanna say.."
"You are wasting my time Shinori." Shuichi removed Shinori's arms on his waist and went to the kitchen. Shinori followed.
"Chichi, what I wanted to say is.. I'm.. I'm.. I'm sorry!" he ran again to Shuichi and knelt in front of him.
"Shinori. You don't have to kneel." Shuichi replied, softening a bit. He offered his hand to his son.
"Chichi, hounto ni.. hounto ni gomen nasai! I said really rude things. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean all of them! Gomen nasai!" he said crying, burrying his face on Shuichi's arms.
"Don't cry son. It's alright." He kissed Shinori's forehead. "Heh. You're a crybaby sometimes." He squeezed Shinori's nose.
Shinori laughed. Eventhough he inherited Yuki's coldness, his heart was still soft like Shuichi's.
"Gomen."
"I told you, it's ok. But Shinori, you have to know that Yuki and I loves you more than anything in this world. You really hurt my feelings when you said you were disgusted with me. I don't care if you are ashamed of our relationship. That's for you to understand."
"Hai. I understand."
"Your'e a grown up boy now, Shinori. I know you are tired of hiding with us. It's because, we don't want to cause you trouble. We didn't inform the media that we have a son, because we wanted to protect you. It's not because we were ashamed."
"Hai.. but..
Am I like Kurosaki? Am I adopted like her?
"But what Shinori?"
"In the back of my mind, there's something bothering me chichi. Am I adopted? Did you adopt me because my hair color is pink?"
Shuichi hit his son.
"Ouch! That's the third time this day."
"Baka! You are 100 percent ours Shinori. What makes you think you were adopted?"
"Eh.. it's because. it's .. not..
"Not usual for two good looking and famous guys to have a child?" Shuichi finished for him.
"Talk about bragging chichi." Shinori spat.
"I see. You were confused with that one huh? You, honey, are a hundred percent product of Shuichi Shindou and Eiri Uesugi. Talk about miracle wonders and technology kid."
Miracle wonders and technology.. oh geez, yeah, of course.. that's how I came..
Shinori smiled. At last, a thorn in his system was removed. Most of all he was happy to hear that he was forgiven and not adopted. He was happy, and satisfied with all that he have.
"Eh?" Yuki! You're still not coming on my concert? It's tomorrow! Bakabakabakabaka!" he punched Eiri on the chest.
"Hmph, I'll just waste my time standing with those female and male psychos who're crazy for you."
"Waaaaaaaah! Yuki doesn't love me!"
"Shut up! don't say that" he grabbed Shuichi and gave him his silencing kiss number 2. The rough one with an upcoming agenda.
"Jerk! Jerk!" Shuichi shouted, pulled away and ran outside that he almost bumped Shinori.
"Ouch chi- hey, dad, what was that all about?" he asked grabbing a box of pockeys lying beside the laptop.
"None of your business. Tsk.. that Shuichi! I was totally ready for him!" he muttered.
Shinori sat on the sofa, drinking soda while watching a music video.
"Hey Dad! Take a look at this! Chichi is so cool!" he pointed at a commercial of the upcoming Bad luck concert. It showed Fujisaki and Hiro on the background, while Shuichi was sitting on a stool. He wore a red tight sleeveless matched with tight leather and torned pants. He wore black lipstick, earrings, and black mascara. They were completely drenched with blue liquid, giving an angsty effect. Shuichi's hands were outstretched, telling the viewers to come and get them.
"Shit! That bastard! So that's why my earings were lost! And what is it with the get up?" Yuki fumed. "Trying to seduce his fans?"
"Dad! I think it's super cool! Hey, take a look at their poster! Oh! Gonna buy that one! It's freaking awesome!"
"There would be free posters for early comers! Plus a discounted new Bad Luck cd!" the announcer said.
One of the posters showed Fujisaki flashing a V sign. Hiro was munching on a pockey being munched by Shuichi on the other end.
That and other breath – taking posters to be released on their concert! So make sure you'll be there!
"What the fuck! Shuichi! He's flirting with that guitarist!"
"Dad, you're so funny. Uncle Hiro is chichi's bestfriend! Don't tell me you're jealous!"
And now for the celebrity news! It is rumored that Shuichi Shindou and Nakano Hiroshi of Bad luck are having a secret affair! They were seen embracing each other two weeks ago! Others said that they were also kissing at that time! As we all know, Shindou san is married to the novelist Yuki Eiri. The said singer avoided the interviews we offered. And for the next news..
Yuki was more surprised than Shinori. Of course he knew Shuichi loves him, and Hiro is only a bestfriend. But, two weeks ago, they had a fight right? And it was two weeks ago that they were seen kissing each other..
Don't you know how hard it is without a voice? I can't even tell Hiro how i feel.. Yuki remembered Shuichi's words.
how he feels? what does that mean?
"Hey dad! You're lost in thoughts! Don't tell me you believe that news! It's just a rumor right? And Uncle Hiro is chichi's bestfriend!" he repeated.
Hiro is just Shuichi's bestfriend. But we fought at that time and.. hey, speaking of that brat! Where the fuck is he?
The phone rang and Yuki answered it.
"Shuichi! Where are you! Go home now!" Yuki shouted.
"Ah, sorry, this is not Shuichi Shindou. This is K, his talented and most respected manager.!"
"Fuck, where is Shuichi? And explain the meaning of that shit on the bloody news!" Yuki fumed.
"Ah, sorry Mr. Yuki! I'm just here to inform you that Shindou can't go home now. We have a sudden rehearsal and change of plans for tomorrow so he is needed here."
"I don't care! Hand him the phone! I need to talk to him!" Yuki was almost flaming with anger.
"Sorry again! He can't be on the phone right now, we can't waste his voice. As for the news about him and Nakano, it's better to ask Shindou san himself –
"How could I ask him, if you won't give him the phone! Com'n K, hand it to him!"
"Sorry once again! Just ask Shindou san after his concert tomorrow! Gotta hung up! Have a nice evening!" with that, K hung up.
Yuki stared at the phone, as if disgusted with it.
First, the fight, then the stupid news, then, Shuichi's not going home.. it's all making sense! Yuki smashed the phone in his hands.
"Dad, I believe, you have to buy another phone." Shinori spat.
"Oh fuck.." Yuki stared at the now ashed phone. Why was he taking it too seriously. He knew Shuichi would never cheat on him. There was only one way to find out.
"Shinori! Dress up! We'll go to the ticket booth!
The day of the concert arrived. There was a long line, mostly composed of females. Some of them were wearing shirts with Bad luck's image on it. Some were bringing banners with them. One totally over reacting fan got a picture of Yuki and Shindou together, shouting Shuichi's name over and over.
"Give us Shindou san!"
"Bad luck!"
"Shuichi nanoda!" Sakuma Ryuichi was even in the crowd together with Tatsuha.
"Where's Bad luck! Don't make us wait for too long!"
"I went here early but didn't have the chance to get that poster with a naked Shuichi on it!" a fan girl whined.
Yuki smirked. As always, he hated being with the crowd.
"Wear your shades Shinori. This way, they won't know us." Yuki whispered.
There was silence and Bad luck appeared on stage. Fujisaki and Hiro was white all over. Shuichi on the other hand was really a rock star hit. He was all black, except for his trench coat which was white. He wore chains around his neck and wrists. His pink hair had highlights of blonde.
"Minna! Konnichiwa!" Shindou shouted and all his fans (including the author) shouted and drooled.
"Thanks for coming! We'll give you the best.. of.. Bad luck!" Shuichi was high spirited.
He took off his trench coat and threw it to the fans.
"Ahh! I got Shindou san's coat!"
"No! It's mine! Mine!"
"No! Remove your filthy hands from it! That's mine!"
The fans growled, fighting over who would bring home the coat.
An hour passed, and the concert went out well. But, as usual, there were still these fans who fainted, specially the part where Shuichi ripped his black leather shirt, exposing his upper body. He took a bottle of mineral water and showered it on himself.
"That brat! He's doing it on purpose!" Yuki cursed and Shinori sighed.
"Dad.."
Next, Shuichi sang seductively and swayed his hips invitingly, giving all his best in performing.
"Did you- did you see that? Shinori! He's seducting the crowd! That fucking prick! I'll let him sleep on the couch tonight!"
"Dad.."
Yuki panicked. He was very pressured just by seeing Shuichi perform. That's one of the major reasons why he doesn't want to go to his concerts. He was pissed with Shuichi's greatness.
"Dad, relax." Shinori patted his fuming father on the back. "Don't worry, he's yours."
"Are you still alright minna? We, bad luck had so much fun with all of ya.. thank you very much for supporting us!" Fujisaki shouted.
"Yes! We are very pleased. Please continue to support Bad luck. Buy original cds, and posters at NG corporation! Never before seen pictures of Bad luck!" Hiro offered.
"New songs! New image!" Fujisaki chimed again.
"And most of all, sizzling rare pictures – of Shindou Shuichi!" Hiro announced and Shuichi burried his face on his hand. He remembered too well the poses he was asked to do.
"AAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhh!" the female fans shouted, it was totally ear deafening. Yuki was 200 percent pissed.
Never before seen images huh? It's only me who can see Shuichi naked! Yuki screamed in his mind.
"And now.. minna, sad to say, this is the last song for tonight's concert!" Shuichi said and faced Hiro.
"Oohh, they're becoming sweeter!" a fan said.
Yuki's sweat dropped.
"Dad.."
"I would like to offer this song.." Shuichi walked towards Hiro and smiled at him. "to the man of my life."
"Aaahh! I knew it! They would be together all this time!"
"Eh? How about the novelist Yuki Eiri?"
And the conversations got louder and louder.
Shinori became uncomfortable at that moment, like there was something wrong.
Yuki was not cursing or flaming anymore. He just stood there, glaring darkly at the men on the stage. Someone else was flaming for him.
"Suddenly, it became very hot.." Shinori said and turned around. "Eek!"
Shuichi lickedand bit his lip which made another female fan faint. He held Hiro's hand and placed it on the left part of his chest.
"Hey! That's where the heart is located.!" A fan screamed
"Yeehah! I really love you Hiro and Shindou san!"
"Hiro, could you feel my heartbeat?" Shuichi smiled at Hiro.
"Remove your hands from my Hiroshi!" a voice said behind Yuki and Shinori.
"A – Aunt Ayaka!" Shinori exclaimed.
"Who do you think is the man of my life minna?" Shuichi asked, still holding Hiro's hand. Hiro on the other hand was smiling back.
"Ok! I'll let you guess!"
"Guess!" Yuki and Ayaka said in unison.
"Ok, his name.. has a letter 'I' on it!" Shuichi said.
Letter I.. of course. My name has an I! Y.U.K.I. Yuki spelled in his mind but.. wait.. Hiro has an I too..
"Next! It has the letter 'R' somewhere in the end.!"
What? Wait. Yuki doesn't have that letter.. oh.. what am I thinking? Of course there is! E.I.R.I. he spelled again. What the fuck.. Hiroshi has an 'r' also!
"Are you giving up fans? Here is the last clue! It has the letter.." he wrapped an arm on Hiro's shoulder which caused Ayaka and Yuki to roar on anger.
" – the letter.. 'S'!"
An ' s'... Yuki Eiri... You don't have an 's' on your name.
Baka! An 's'! How can I forget! My name is Uesugi Eiri! There is an 's'! Shit.. wait.. H.I.R.O.S.H.I... Yuki spelled. Another common letter?
"Still got no answer?" Shuichi was laughing and waved his mike on his fans. This last song.. is dedicated to.. wait.. another clue.. his name.. has the letter.."
Letter 'y'! Letter 'y'! Yuki chanted. It was the first letter that came to his mind. Say it Shuichi! Letter 'y'! or letter 'u'!
" – letter.. letter.." Shuichi's voice became louder.
"letter 'H'!"
"OhI knew it! I know the answer!"
"The man of his life is Hiroshi Nakano!"
Yuki's stare was blank. YUKI, EIRI, UESUGI. Those names doesn't have that letter.
"I'll fucking kill you Hiroshi!" he cursed with gritted teeth. His heart was breaking. After all the love they shared, Shuichi just replaced him because of a fight?
Shuichi and Hiro's face were just an inch apart. They looked at each other's eyes ignoring the noise coming from the audience.
"Aww! the rumor's true! They have an affair!"
Hiro placed an arm on Shuichi's shoulder.
"I dedicate this song.. to an important man of my life.." Shuichi said again.
Hiro and Shuichi's hands were clasped together with the mike.
"This is for you..
SHINORI!
They chorused and Fujisaki started the intro.
Yuki's shades fell from his face.
"Eh?" the fans rumbled.
"Shinori? Who is that?" they asked confused.
Chichi. You offer this song to me? You really love me! Thank you very much!
"You! You stole my Shuichi!" Yuki grabbed his son on the neck and shook him all over.
"Hey dad! Stop it! I can't breathe!"
The concert ended well. There was an autograph signing afterwards which made Yuki extremely impatient. They waited for Shuichi on the exit.
The drive home was silent. Shinori was on the front seat while Shuichi's on the back, sleeping, definitely exhausted from the event. It was past midninight when the signing ended, and Hiro have to carry Shuichi on the car.
"Please take care of him Shinori kun, Yuki san." Hiro said as he handed Shuichi to his real lover.
"I'm sorry to cause you trouble. Rumors are rumors, Yuki san." Hiro explained.
"That day, I was comforting Shuichi in my arms because of a fight you had. But we were not kissing. You should know that I and Ayaka.. are.. you know.. well anyway, I was only whispering something to him. Those jerks, they thought we were kissing.."
"Hmph.." was Yuki's reply to Hiro's long explanation. He positioned Shuichi on the back seat.
"Uncle Hiro, thanks for carrying him and no, you didn't cause us trouble. See ya!" Shinori said and hopped in the car.
Shuichi woke up from the sound of clanging metal. Yuki was on top of him staring angrily.
"Yu – yuki!" Shuichi shouted. "Wha- what's this?" he found himself chained to the bed posts.
"Had a nice dream rock star?" Yuki greeted while removing his own robe.
"W-well, yeah.." Shuichi replied sweating. "U – Uh, you see Yuki.."
"Who.. is.. that man of your life again?" Yuki whispered on Shuichi's ear causing the singer to have chills.
"E – ehh.. U – mm.." Shuichi's temperature was rising up. Yuki was stripping him slowly.
"Tell me!" Yuki shouted.
"Yyyyuuuuukkkiiiii! Yuki don'tshout at me! Yuki don't! Yuki don't - aahh!"
"What is that sound Shinori kun?" Kurosaki asked on the other line.
"Ah, that,.. probably my Dad taming our dog." Shinori whispered on the new cordless phone.
"Wow! You have a dog! How come you didn't tell me?"
"What? Didn't I? I must have forgot."
"How does he look like?"
"Uh.. he has pink streaks on his fur, wide eyed, totally cute and noisy, even eats a lot.."
"Kawaii! What is his name?" Kurosaki asked.
"His name? Uhh.."
"SHU – I - CHI! Come back here! Don't forget you're naked! Now, how did he escape those chains?" Yuki asked himself following his koi in the bathroom.

Extra:
Yuki: Shu-i-chi! You're hiding at the bathroom again?
Shuichi: Go away Yuki! You're not suppose to see me.
Yuki: But why? Is this what they call hide and seek? He swayed the shower curtains open. There you are Shu chan!
Shuichi: Waah! Go away! Shinori! Help me! he splashed water on Yuki's chest.
Yuki: Hey, does that mean you want me to take a bath with you? he hopped on the tub and carried Shuichi.
Yuki: Brat, you eat too much, you're becoming heavy.
Shuichi: honto? The truth is..
Yuki: Wait.. don't tell me..
Shuichi: Hai, I went to the doctor a week ago and.. it was positive.
Yuki: Shinori! Put down the phone! We're going to buy a new crib!
