Chapter 13:
Yuki stared at the pink haired man next to him. "W…what?" He could feel the fear washing over him. This wasn't supposed to happen! Shit what had he done? What was he supposed to do? Should he say yes? Some part of him yelled wildly at him. Say yes says yes! (Reminds me of Roxie!) Another part of him screamed too. You'll get hurt again!
"Yuki?" Shuichi looked at him, hopefully. He slipped out of bed and pulled on his clothes. "Um…I need some water and well you should rest. You are really sick you know." He walked out of the room, trying to ignore the stare he knew Shuichi was giving him. he pottered around in the living room doing some night time cleaning, when he returned to the bedroom, Shuichi was sound asleep, Yuki could see tear tracks down his face.
"I'm sorry, Shu. But this might end hurting all three of us." Yuki went back to the other bedroom and climbed into bed. He had a lot to do tomorrow. He really felt like a house wife.
----------------------------------------------------
Shuichi woke up to the sound of Wan in the living room. He was telling Yuki about his day with Ralph. But unusually, Yuki's voice was not to be heard. He always spoke and joked around with Wan. Shuichi slipped out after washing his face. He saw Yuki on the couch with Wan sitting on top of him. The blonde looked at him and smiled. "So how are you feeling?" Shuichi tried a smile, but he was feeling too hurt. He'd asked an important questioning and Yuki was acting like he'd never said anything.
"I'm fine. I'll go home I guess." Shuichi got some hot chocolate and sat down on a chair. Yuki frowned a little. "No you can stay here till you're really ok. I don't like the sound of that throat. I'll ask he doctor if you can today alright." He got up to make the lunch. "What do you feel like eating? Wan let Shuichi choose."
"I'm not hungry." Shuichi stared out the window. Yuki bit back a sarcastic comment. Why couldn't the idiot act normal? He didn't like this kind of pressure. "You have to eat. So what shall I make? All your favorites are cold and sweet and ruled out. So what else can I make?"
"Anything you guys want. I told you I'm not hungry and if you're going to force me to eat, I don't care what the food is!" Shuichi stomped off to the bathroom. Wan looked after him puzzled. "Daddy's mad!" he stated for Yuki's convenience. Yuki sighed, he considered apologizing, but that meant he was going to have to bring up 'that' subject again. He just cooked some macaroni and cheese. The scooped some into a bowl for Wan. And then went to give Shuichi his lunch.
------------------------------------------------
Shuichi looked up as Yuki entered. The blonde put on his fake cheery smile. "Lunch is served…" he placed the tray on Shuichi's lap. Shuichi ate slowly. He was considering what to do next. Yuki sat there staring at him, watching him eat like a hawk.
"I'm eating alright! Normal human beings do that! Yuki, just leave me alone all right…I'm really not in the mood for this!" Yuki nodded a little sadly before exiting the room. Shuichi sighed. It was always like this. Yuki started all the shit and then wound up acting like the hurt one. He picked up the phone, time to put an end to this.
-------------------------------------------------
"Yuki! You have to buy some cereal! My favorite one is over and if I'm staying here for longer, I'll need it! And we need pocky! And the new gummy bloopies that have come out. Please get them…" Yuki sighed, he couldn't resist those eyes and he had to go.
"Fine, kiddo. I'll get them for you, let me get my wallet. Take care of daddy ok?" Yuki went into the room once more. He walked up to Shuichi. "Hey, I'll be doing some shopping ok. I should be back in about forty five minutes. Call if you need anything!"
Shuichi watched him walk out. Yeah, he needed something…Yuki. But now it was time to leave. He slipped out of bed and hurriedly dressed. Another phone call and Hiro was on his way. He bundled Wan up and waited.
Hiro arrived at the doorway in ten minutes. "Shuichi, yeah all the bags are packed, I'll send the furniture and stuff later. You have enough summer clothes here to start your own shop. Why India?"
Shuichi smiled. "I need a change in climate. India's perfect, everyone almost speaks English. There are lots of Japanese living there. And there are no cold winters! Wan will fit into any international school there easily. And the standard of work is as high as in Japan!" Hiro smiled. "Ok, so you've brushed up."
Shuichi picked Wan up. "Wan we're leaving now. We'll be going to India. You'll like it there." Wan stared at him. "is Yuki coming?" Shuichi winced. "No Wan. Yuki has a lot of work here and he doesn't need us holding him up. And well, the band will be touring India for a while so it'll be fine. Hiro and Suguru will join us soon!"
Wan started to cry softly into his father's shirt. "I want Yuki!" he whispered as the car drove away from the apartment.
-------------------------------------------------
Yuki was walking back when he noticed Shuichi and Wan get into the Hiro's car. It looked loaded. No, they're not leaving! Shit I can't lose him again! What kind of a fool am I? Yuki picked up his phone and called Seguchi.
"Tohma, I want you to find out exactly where Shuichi is going. You have to do this for me Tohma; I don't think I can go through that again!" Yuki ran back to his apartment. Well he needn't have bothered Tohma. Shuichi had left a note.
Dear Yuki,
I am leaving. I don't think the friendship thing is going to work and we have to go our own separate ways… you ignoring my question gave me all the answers. I will e-mail you or more like Wan will e-mail when we reach our destination…India. We might even visit sometimes…miss you, love you
Shuichi
Yuki called Tohma again with a few plans.
----------------------------------------------------------
Shuichi hugged Wan trying to console him. How do I explain to him that Yuki doesn't want us around? "Wan, it'll be fun. Yuki will visit okay. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before…please understand…"
The announcement to board came through all the noise. Shuichi stood up and held onto Wan's hand. There was such a long line. Part of him hoped Yuki would stop him, but he knew it was no use. They entered the plane and Shuichi settled down comfortably, trying not to cry himself. He looked out the window dolefully…maybe Yuki would pull a Jim Carrey stunt like in the movie "Liar Liar." And ride a stairway next to the plane. The plane took off and Shuichi closed his window. He settled down to get some sleep.
A while later the airhostess woke him up. "Excuse me, Shindou-san?" He nodded. "This is for you, the man up front asked him to give it to you." Shuichi tried to look at the guy, but he wasn't looking back and in first class the seats were so big that you couldn't see the others. He opened the brown paper wrapped parcel. Strawberry pocky fell out. He scrabbled inside and found a note. Stay with me. Shuichi's eyes went wide. He beckoned to the air hostess and asked her which seat. She pointed it out to him and he ran towards it. Shuichi skidded to a stop and looked at an empty seat. He sighed looking at all the other seats in the front. Sighing in dismay he walked back.
In his seat he found Wan hugging someone tightly. When he let go Shuichi almost fainted. "Yu…Yuki?" The blonde smiled. "So, Baka…missed me?"
Shuichi looked at him in disbelief. "What are you doing here?" Yuki smirked. "Um…Let's see going to India…because I have a family I need to live with?" Shuichi jumped on to of him kissing him softly. Yuki hugged him bag. "Oh by the way, the answer to your question? It's yes."
