The Talk

Now, Shuichi was nearly at the park. He's already sighted some of the lovely flowers that were beguiling, enthralling, and glowing with beauty as the sun spelled the end of the day, leaving the novelist and him alone since the chastely crescent moon will fill the night with full of entice and captivating charm.

The pocky-lover arrived at the park having the novelist blank on his sight. He waited for a few more minutes, and then sat down on one of the benches that are just parallel to the endearing sunset. Still, the novelist was animated only in his dreams of coming to talk with him; he even doubted if his lover would come. Sure, he would think, that this talk was just another talk of getting their relationship back, but for the vocalist, this was one big hit of a talk.

"Hey brat." The singer continued to stare blankly at some space until he heard the cold voice that he was yearning to hear. He jumped from the tone of the voice and felt a shiver from his neck down to his spine. He looked up, only to comprehend with the fact that the novelist was on the back of his left side, standing, with his hands on his pocket.

His purple orbs met with the glare of the novelist's vicious golden eyes, swallowing the thought that it really was, in the flesh, his Yuki-darling. He stood up surprisingly from the thought, and he backed away his orbs because of his varied, rather, wide-ranging emotions he felt just from looking on those eyes. He felt a mixture of sorrow, worry, fear, anxiety, and anguish rise from the depths of his soul. He wasn't sure if he could still stand the thought of being with him yet again, just to talk about their dilemma, even if he's in a catch-22 situation. (A/n: meaning he's in a no-win situation.)

"Doush'ta? Why are you freezing up like a stoutly little brat?" the novelist said in his normally cold voice, while one of his eyebrows rose from the ridiculous act that his lover was doing.

Shuichi looked up unease, laughing idiotically. He paused, hid his hands and gallantly said, "Well, I'm your brat, am I not?" and he grinned humbly.

Yuki smirked, amazed by the fact that his brat still has the guts to say things like those. He heaved his arm up and placed it on the boy's head and caressed it gently. He grunted and said, "Sorry brat, but whether you like it or not, ---- YOU'RE MINE."

--You read that right. He said those words compellingly but with more commitment. Now that's our Novelist.

From his head, Yuki moved his arms down to his lover's arm and pulled him into a tight hug. For a moment, Shuichi felt his body stiffen. He felt like he was being reawakened and felt a strong sensation that stirred him up a bit. The novelist's arm, now on his waist, gave him a sort of calming feeling. He felt so loved in a way. He felt his body softened and rested his hands on his novelist's chest and let the sweet moment elapse.

I could get used to this. He thought.

After sometime, the novelist pulled away, leaned to his cute lover for a kiss, and then again said, "You're mine. Got that?" Yuki smirked. Shuichi nodded and also leaned on for the kiss. They stood there for a minute or so with the moon's shaft of light glistening at them. Shuichi wrapped his hands around Yuki's neck and they stood there like couple that hasn't seen each other for decades. No, not decades, but ages. Shuichi felt his tears streamed down his cheeks, for he was so overwhelmed by the fact that his lover was formally accepting their children.

- WAIT. I did not mention about our babies. Shu thought.

Shuichi immediately pulled away from the kiss and asked Yuki, "UH, Yuki, about our babies, I mean, my babies….." Shuichi didn't know how to continue saying it anymore. His body was trembling and he felt like he wanna faint right know. After realizing what he has done, Yuki felt guilty. Very guilty. But Yuki wasn't to let this go. He promised himself to protect his lover by any means, and he will not let himself be defeated by his alter ego. Right now, all he has to do is to get his lover back.

Shuichi was still trembling. "Uh…" He was feeling uneasy about the thing he was going to say. He really wants to cry. He can't take this anymore. It's just too much. "About… the babies…d-d-do you want me to…uh…g-get r-r.." he paused, unable to continue. God, he couldn't just say the word. He loved them. His children, he loved them dearly, so how could he let go?

Yuki understood right away. He felt very disgraced of what he has done. He wants to tell Shuichi that it's alright, but he just couldn't utter the words. And also the very three words that his cute lover was longing to hear.

Does this mean that he really is deeply, madly, and TRULY in love with SHUICHI SHINDO? Hmmm…

"Yuki, I can't get rid of them… It's just too hard!" He burst up into tears. His hands now on his face. "I-I-sniff-I p-sniff-p-ity them Y-y-uki…I want them to –sniff- see the l-l-ight that I'm –sniff-sniff- longing for them t-t-to see…sob-sob…" "I don't want them to suffer Yuki…that's w-w-why I-I-I thought of –sniff- raising them up…I thought you'd be happy at first –sniff-sniff- but –sniff- but y-y-you're n-n-not –sniff- so… I-sniff-I-sniff-I tried to brought them up on my own…" Shuichi continued to cry.

"Oi." Yuki removed his lover's hands from his face and cupped his chin up.

Shuichi was still snuffling. His eyes were into Yuki's and he looked so exhausted from all the sacrifices he have made to save both his babies and his bond to Yuki.

"Like I've said, You're mine. No one gets you from me. I'll accept whoever, whichever, and whatever possible creature you may be. Clear? The babies, fine. Stay with them in the house until the time has come for you to have them out. And rest. I will talk to Tohma about the other details concerning you and.. our children."

Shuichi was enlightened by the fact that his Yuki really was, caring for him.

- Starting NOW.

"And if I said rest, you rest ok? No walking around, No cooking, No lyrics, No shouting, No Nothing. Understood? Just rest on our room." said Yuki, emphasizing the word "our" from the rest.

"Oh Yuki…Thank you soOo much…" said the singer, at the same time hugging his lover as tight as he could.

"I promise to do those things w-w-hen we…" Shuichi was feeling weak.

"when we … get back …" Shuichi held Yuki's face before everything went out. He fell slowly against Yuki's side and fortunately, Yuki had encircled his arm on his back and he scooped his lover back in his car and into their home to have some good night.

And they drifted off to sleep.

That night, Yuki felt he couldn't sleep anymore. So he went to kiss his lover on the forehead before going to his office.

And he typed.. and typed... and typed… and typed… in just one hour he finished his story and, guess what's on the preamble of his story?

Several months have passed since Yuki finished his story, and of course, it's already published. It's also the time for Shuichi's maternal leave. P

Then again, the sun shone shined brightly, indicating that a new day is up to come. When, the lovers are done eating breakfast, the Novelist, now retarded, formerly frustrated, is really focusing on his work coz it's going international. Well, what can we say on our novelist? That's life.. )

Anyway, for the thrill, Yuki left a book on the dining table for Shuichi to read. It's regarded as his most best novel recently. Shuichi wondered what's it all about. He thought Yuki have forgotten his "guide book" for writing his stories.

But, with a sense of curiosity, he opened it. He was supposed to give the book to his lover right? Well, no. It's on the hands of its rightful owner. Why? because Yuki left a note saying:

Shuichi,

"Thank you for coming into my life."

Yuki

Awwww… Ain't that sweet?

And, guess what's on the preamble?

To the cutest brat in the world: (Shuichi)

You are the sweet ray of sunshine in my life. I would've told you many times if only you are not the cutest pouting, noisy little monster you are now. But I'm thankful because you always give me inspiration, and strength. You always try to make all of the people around you happy, even if it means you being sad. You always had that kind of attitude when, you are in high spirits and you always try please me, following that you always cry in the end because you failed. What you don't realize is, having you by my side is already enough to make me the happiest and the luckiest person in this world. I'm thankful that you're a part of me until now. Your winsome smile and positively cheerful ways make me feel that no matter how tough things may seem, it will see me through… everything will be okay. Thank you for being a beautiful reminder of the God's assuming love. I wish that you'd be the same beautiful reminder to our children and I, without end.

Thank you for all that you've been, you are, and you will be. I Love You.

Yuki

After reading it, Shuichi was very shocked and fell onto his knees and cried because his darling really loved him that much, ever since they met. Well, not to mention the kicked-outs he got from his darling, and the hugs and kisses they shared.

"Oi"

Shuichi jumped.

"Are you just gonna cry there like a drama queen all the time?"

"----" Shuichi made no response. Instead, he stood up and just stood there. )

"Mind if we go out for a while?" Yuki smirked.

"-----"

"It won't take long…" said Yuki, while encircling his hands on his lover's waist. Just before Yuki could rest his chin on his lover's shoulder, Shuichi made a turn, giving Yuki a sloppy kiss and placed his hands on Yuki's cheeks.

"Yuki, is this all true?" said Shuichi while lifting up the note Yuki left with him.

"What, you don't believe it?" Yuki leaned forward.

"I…Of course I do..it's just..uuhh…." Shuichi looked very uneasy and he was unable to make eye contact with his lover.

"What?" Yuki waited patiently for the answer. –ooh, nice change.. or novelist is being patient now. Good dog…I mean, boy..Good boy..)

Shuichi pouted. He could not find the right words to express what he is feeling right at the moment. It felt like a leaping moment. A happy feeling. Maybe I'm just overwhelmed by all of this. He thought.

"Oi"

Shuichi came back to reality. "Huh.."

"You were about to say something."

"Oh..that..i forgot.."

"Brat."

"Well at least I forgot because you're looking pretty gorgeous this time." Shuichi smirked.

"Hmm..Only this time? I beg your pardon, but I look gorgeous all the time."

"Oh yes..I forgot.. I'm soOo sorry.." said Shuichi while he leaned forward.

And Yuki ended the conversation with an affectionate, really, really long kiss.

End
