Chapter 8:

He looked into those purple eyes…they were cold now. He started to back away…he needed to apologize. "I'm sorry Shuichi…I didn't mean it, I love you, you must believe me…" but Shuichi advanced, his purple eyes still cold and expressionless. "I hate you. You never loved me…you did for the sex…you cold bastard…I hate you." Shuichi started to laugh maniacally and Yuki found himself backed against a wall. "We'll kill you Yuki Eiri…we'll haunt you, you ruined our lives!" Shuichi began a slow morph into Kitazawa Yuki. Mid-morph they pulled out a gun…still laughing they pulled the trigger, Yuki shut his eyes tight and…the door bell pealed.

Yuki's eyes snapped open, as the door bell rang for a second time. He wiped the sweat out of his face with his sleeve and opened the door. He looked into two bright purple eyes. "Ohayo!" for a few minutes Yuki was back in time opening the door for Shuichi yet again when he had kicked him out.

"So are you going to keep holding the door open all day?" Yuki looked around to see the pink haired man already making himself comfortable on the couch. He sighed and shut the door. "So what do you want?"

"Nothing really. It's about Wan. He's starting school tomorrow. He just wanted me to see you and fix up some timings for when he could come and see you after school on certain days." Shuichi stretched a little on the couch, he'd missed this couch he realized.

"Which school? I know Wan's Japanese is good, but shouldn't it be one where they speak English? He might have a hard time adjusting to the new methods of teaching and stuff." Yuki looked at Shuichi concern written all over his face. Shuichi bit back a sigh; it had been only twice that he'd seen Yuki so concerned.

"Well. They do speak English and teach in English. Japanese lessons are there too, so you needn't worry. I think he'll adjust pretty well; Tohma's Hikari attends it as well. So at least he'll have some one to fight with!" Shuichi smiled at Yuki. "I'm his father you know, I do think of things like that!"

Yuki nodded absently. "How bout I meet Wan five days a week? Three weekdays for about a hour and two hours on weekend…and I could help him with the small projects he'll get, apart from finger painting you sucked at the other stuff!." Shuichi frowned looking annoyed. He wanted to tell Yuki to mind his own business and stick to being Wan's friend only, but he stopped himself. If he wanted Yuki back then he'd have to stop creating arguments.

"Ok. I guess that should do. Tohma's driver is picking them both up, so on alternate weekdays he can come straight here and I'll come and get him after work." Shuichi commended himself on keeping his voice level.

"Yes. I heard that you were reforming Bad Luck. Tell me Shuichi, what did you do in England?" Yuki asked lighting a ciggie. The pink haired man looked a little pale. "Am I prying?"

Shuichi looked back at him like he had been jerked back into this world. "No. it's not that, its still a little hard for me to think about England, I've just buried it at the back of my memory…Nina…I miss her. Wan's kind of over it now, except for the occasional nightmares. I need to thank you for that, you've kept his mind of it. I'm trying to concentrate here on other things, but the memories come back sometimes." He suddenly looked up and flushed slightly. "Gomen, I was rambling. I worked for a small music company. I managed a couple of bands, rated some music…mostly managing. It was fun…I have an idea now why K likes his job so much. I tried to find a magnum too, but I had to make do with a big kitchen knife. Don't worry I didn't kill, just threatened!"

Yuki smiled before looking at Shuichi with a hint of concern. "So you miss Nina? Tell me about her…they say it helps to talk about it." Shuichi looked at him confused.

"Well…she was working with the bank that worked with my company. We met at a party…it was about four months after I'd left and I still wasn't over you. We became good friends and started spending a lot of time together. She was very pretty; she had black hair and Wan's big green eyes. She was also shorter than me…a plus point! An year after I met her, we went on our first date…a French restaurant. Then I took her home, and we slept together. Another year later I asked her to marry me. Then we had Wan. By then I thought I was over you…"he stopped suddenly. "I mean I was over you by then. So four years of absolute happiness and then some bastards decided to run over her! So now she's gone and I'm back here."

Yuki looked back at him expressionlessly. They continued to look at each other for a while, and then Shuichi suddenly stood up and walked over to the blonde. "I can't take this anymore. I didn't want to meet you again…fate plays some weird games, my son had to befriend you in the end. And now…now you just sit talking to me about my wife, say something god damn you."

"I'm sorry." Yuki stood up as well and got himself a glass of water. "I didn't mean to hurt you, but it's also weird for me to be hearing about all that. Shuichi, I didn't want to meet you either, but since this for Wan, I'm willing to keep meeting you. So lets just be friends?"

Shuichi looked at Yuki, unaware that he was mirroring the pain in the blonde's eyes. Friends? He went up to Yuki and kissed him. The blonde kissed back passionately, before breaking away. "No…friends. I don't think I could handle more than that."

Shuichi left the apartment for work. He didn't look back. "Fine then."

---------------------------------

A/N: sorry for not including Wan. I will in the next chapter but this was mainly supposed to be about Shuichi. And Yuki's decisions.
