Summary: The boys finally wake up. But they end up having to make a get away in the night. Who's sneaking up on the two and why? Uh oh, flashes?! What kind of flashes?! (OK, most of these questions will start in this chapter; answers will come when I feel the torture of waiting is over).
Beginning Note: This idea came to me pretty quickly; the posting was the hard thing with limited time on the computer lately and my own laziness. I also wanted to wait because no one had read chapter 4 yet (yeah, gave up waiting for that). I wanted something a little more humorous and shorter. Sorry, but that last chapter could have been three, considering it came out to more words than the first three put together. So enjoy the hilarity and maybe ideas for the next will come just as fast as the ones for this and hopefully posting will be faster. Ok, maybe it won't be that funny, maybe more playful. But I'll let you guys decide.

If Only I Could Tell You - Chapter 5
They zipped through the midnight shadowed streets. Both were smiling in their deep thoughts. Suguru kept having this tingling feeling, with his arms tight around Hiro. His mind was jumbled, but he was happy. He closed his eyes a laid his head against Hiro's back. They were both still pretty tired and just wanted to get back to the apartment and sleep.
Hiro placed one hand over Suguru's, rubbing it tenderly. The other boy's hands were so small in his. The skin was so much lighter and the fingers so much more delicate. It made him feel protective over the other. Hiro cupped the hand looking at the flashing light on his bike. He was running out of gas.
"We're going to have to make an unexpected stop," Hiro announced, headed towards the nearest gas station.
They pulled up to the station, both getting off as the tank was filled. Suguru headed for the small convenience store, suddenly craving snack food. Hiro leaned against a poll whistling as he waited for his money's worth. Suddenly a jeep pulled up, packed with girls. Hiro shook his head sadly as he looked over at them. It was the middle of the night with a chilly breeze building up and those girls were running around in mini skirts, shorts and tank tops. He couldn't help but flinch thinking how cold they must be. He rubbed his arms; he had given his jacket to Suguru. He didn't mind the slight chill much and the smaller boy looked better in it anyway. The way it hung off him due to it's slightly larger size made Hiro smile.
The girls formed a stampede, heading into the store, giggling and gossiping. Hiro didn't think much of it. He looked through the glass at Suguru paying for his food, but he noticed one of the girls looking at him strangely. Probably admiring how adorable he was, girls had a thing for adorable, no matter what their age or type. The girl signaled her friends over whispering to them. Suguru put the food he just bought into his bag and headed back out where Hiro was waiting. The guitarist noticed the girls following. He was getting suspicious. It suddenly hit him and he began feeling pain and fear in his chest as the girls pointed at him blushing and whispering.
"Oh shit!" cursed Hiro. Those girls recognized them. He called out to the other boy with urgency. "Suguru, hurry!"
Suguru turned around, but the girls were already on his tail. He jumped in the air and ran towards the bike. As soon as he hopped on, Hiro hit the gas, speeding away from the group of girls. The girls ran back to their jeep and followed them. Suguru looked back terrified as he spotted them following, hollering things at them.
"Damn, just what we needed at this time of night!" Hiro sneered.
"Hiro, you're so hot!" one of the girls shouted. The guitarist blushed with embarrassment clenching his teeth.
"Holding pretty tight there Suguru!" another shouted. "I knew it! I knew he had a thing for him!" She was shouting like a wild hyena, announcing it to anyone in hearing distance.
Hiro turned into a narrow alley. The jeep followed, just barely fitting, that included the space taken up with garbage cans and such before they were run over. These were obviously desperate fans chasing them. Suguru turned around noticing the front of the jeep covered in disgusting waste that was giving off a rancid smell.
"They're crazy!" Suguru cried holding his nose. "What if they have rabies Hiro?!"
"Wouldn't surprise me. They look like they would pet a few too many squirrels."
The bike took a zigzag direction, screeching at each turn. The jeeps bulk was hard to make sudden turns with and the girls were slowly falling behind.
"Where the fuck are they going?" asked the girl driving. "I can't follow!"
"You're not driving fast enough!"
"I'm driving the speed limit!"
"Well drive faster than the speed limit, or we'll loose them!"
The girl sighed and sped up to keep on their trail. Hiro looked in his mirror noticing they were catching them. Probably wouldn't even stop from running them over if they could keep their bodies as souvenirs. But an idea came to mind. The path stayed straight as Hiro headed to his destination. Soon they passed by the police station. Hiro hoped someone would spot the girls and stop them, but no one did. His brow furrowed as he headed to the next best place. But no one was at the doughnut shop either.
"Was worth a shot," Hiro commented. "Where are all the cops?" Hiro asked himself before suddenly hearing a screech and crash. They stopped and turned around. The girls had crashed into the one thing the two boys had been looking for; the police. They both looked around and noticed the coffee shop. "Figures they were here at this time of night. Why didn't I think of that?"
"Let's just get out of here," Suguru suggested. "Those girls will probably just pay them off and continue after us if we stay around here."
Hiro drove off towards the apartment. All this chasing and running made his body even more tired. They made it, only to collapse on the couch. Hiro sat there tipping his head back. Suguru removed the coat, placing it on the chair nearby. He was then pinned beneath the half a sleep Hiro.
"I don't think I'll make it to the room," Hiro stated, nuzzling the younger boy's neck. "Goodnight."
"Wait, Hiro!" Hiro's soft breathing was all that followed. "Goodnight."
Suguru laid there a while staring at the ceiling before drifting himself. They were too far gone to notice the person sneak into the apartment and their eyes shut too tight to see the flashes. The person snuck back out snickering. They had gotten what they wanted.
(Next Morning)
Hiro woke to the warm sun shinning down on him and a sweet smell floating in the air. He sat up, his head a little soar, to see Suguru sitting at the table reading the newspaper. There was food placed all over the table. He smiled walking over and taking a seat next to the younger boy.
"Don't hurt your head with all that reading this early in the morning," teased Hiro.
"Hey it might do you some good," replied Suguru caught up in a story.
"What's that suppose to mean?"
Suguru pushed a plate towards Hiro. "French toast?"
"Don't try to butter me up with … oh coffee."
"Hey that's mine."
"You're too young and energetic for coffee, adorable one."
Suguru blushed with frustration and embarrassment. "No I'm not!"
"Of course you're adorable." Hiro leaned in kissing the teal haired boy gently on the cheek. "I should know."
"That's my coffee Hiro!"
Hiro took a sip, eying Suguru with one open eye. "Sorry sweet, you'll just have to lick the cup. Or if you prefer, kiss off what's left when I'm done."
Suguru lifted up the newspaper in front of his face. Hiro snickered as he took another sip of coffee and fixed a plate of food. This was nice. Having the one he cared for by his side all the time, eating breakfast together and even having a little tease-fest. Guess this made them a real couple.
"I'm going to take a shower," said Hiro. Suguru gave him a sweet kiss. "Tisk, tisk, you're already hooked."
"I was not kissing you for that. I can stop drinking coffee when I want to."
"I meant hooked on me." Hiro smirked as he made his way to the bathroom. Suguru took back the cup, sipping from it with a defeated pout. "I know you're finishing off the coffee too."
Suguru almost choked. "So what if I am?" He didn't hear anything but water running.
He finished the cup of coffee, and went for his bag. He had the week off from rehearsals and was able to spend it all romantically with Hiro. But he still couldn't calm his determined nature, even when there didn't seem to be anything to work on. He pulled out music sheets and song books. He had some things that weren't done and he thought he might try to finish them now. Why now? New inspiration seemed to have popped its head out to him. Yet with pen and paper in front of him he still couldn't bring them together and do anything. Maybe his muse preferred being in his head and head alone. He sighed, putting everything back in the bag. Sitting there he stared at the hall, listening to the light sound of water.
"I guess I'll sit here till he comes out," Suguru thought out loud. "Damn! I am hooked." He turned and looked at the door. It was cracked open slightly. He walked over, looking out into the hallway both ways. He saw nothing and closed the door. "Did we leave that open?"

Ending Note: OK, sorry this chapter is a little short. But it shows the importance of not stopping anywhere when you're famous without disguises (no matter how ridiculous) and never leaving your door unlocked, no matter how tired you are. The reason things are sort of left this way is I plan for 6 to make a big time jump that I don't want to do in the middle of the chapter. So imagine some sugar sweetness between this chapter and the next with Hiro and Suguru. I wasn't ready to try another lemon, but you sure can, in your head.
