Chapter # 4: Heartaches

We were all sitting around in a small restaurant. Shuichi sat between his band mates. He was smiling, laughing. He'd ordered himself a pepsi. Hiro had what appeared to be Mountain Dew and Suguru had a coka-cola. I looked at my drink. Pepsi. It figures Shuichi and I drink the same type of sodas.

"Right Seguchi-san?"

"H-Huh?" I said looking up at the three.

"Sorry, I didn't quite hear you."

"I said, that first band sucked, ne?"

"Hm. They weren't any good." I responded, taking a drink of my pepsi.

"When I think about it…None of tonight's performance's were any good except for Bad Luck's. The guitarist had the instrument very well tuned and knew what he was doing."

Hiro grinned.

"The keyboardist knew all his keys and was prepared to play."

Suguru smiled.

"And the vocalist…" I looked up to face Shuichi,

"…Was an amazing singer."

Shuichi went slightly pink at this. I took another drink of my pepsi.

"Common now, I'm not that good," Shuichi said rubbing the back of his head slightly.

"No, I never said you were good…" I stated simply. His eyes widened and he stared at me.

"…I said you were amazing…There's a huge difference."

Shuichi went pink again.

"You're really nice Seguchi-san."

"Feel free to call me 'Tohma,' no need for formalities…"

"R-Really?"

"Yes. Call me 'Tohma,' I'd much prefer that."

"Oh, ok then…Uhm, you can call me 'Shuichi,' or if you want to, you can do what Hiro, Suguru, Ryuichi, and Yuki do and call me 'Shu.' "

"Yuki? Yuki who?" I questioned.

"Didn't I tell you?" Suguru questioned me as he looked over at me,

"I could have sworn I told you he was dating Eiri-san."

"E-Eiri-san?"

"Yeah. I could have sworn I told you." Suguru stated more to himself then to anyone else.

"No. No, you didn't."

Someone walked into the restaurant. Hiro looked back at the sound of the bell and got out of the booth,

"Shu, come here."

Shuichi stood up confused, staring at Hiro with question marks plainly seen in his eyes.

"What is it Hiro?"

Hiro sat back down again and slid over by Suguru. He pointed a thumb in the direction of the door.

Shuichi looked.

"YUKIIIIIIII!" He announced taking off running. He practically leapt onto the poor guy before he even knew what was going on.

"Shu?"

"YUKIIII! YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI,YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI, YUKI YUKIIIIII!" He announced in one big breath. Eiri, Yuki the golden blonde, romance novelist sighed.

"Stop screaming in my ear Shu."

"Sorry Yuki!"

Yuki set his amber eyes on Shuichi. Shuichi smiled,

"Yukiii! I love you!"

"Don't over-do it."

"Aww! Yukiii! Why won't you be nice to me?"

Yuki sighed and un-attached the whimpering chibi form of Shuichi from his chest, walking over to the booth. Suguru and Hiro moved down in the booth a bit further. Shuichi climbed in and Yuki slid in after him. The whimpering Shuichi tried to move down to sit by his band mates but was caught by Yuki who pulled him close. He wrapped an arm around Shuichi's waist and leaned his head down by his ear.

"I love you Shu," he whispered lightly.

He looked up.

"Why are you here?"

I smiled,

"Nice to see you too, Eiri-san."

I stood up,

"I was just leaving actually."

"Awww! Don't go Tohma!" Shuichi whined.

"I'm a very busy man Shuichi…I have some work to get back to I'm afraid."

"Oh…Ok…"

I payed for my drink and walked out of the small restaurant, as I walked past one of it's windows I looked inside and saw Shuichi leaning into Yuki's arm, Yuki still had it wrapped around Shuichi. Shuichi picked up his pepsi and took a drink through the straw. He handed it to Yuki who took a sip of it through the same straw and put it back down on the table.

Shuichi looked to the window and saw me walking by, sadness clearly written across my face. I looked away and continues walking.

(Switching to Shuichi's POV)

I made Yuki move from the booth and I rushed out of my seat and out the door, standing just outside the door, I called out to Tohma,

"TOHMA! TOHMA, WAIT!"

He didn't look back. He didn't stop walking. He didn't say anything other then,

"I'm sorry."

I fell to my knees, tears slipping from my eyes.

"No Tohma…I'm sorry…" I whispered, though I knew he wouldn't hear me. I had just screwed it up big time. Tohma had treated me a lot nicer then Yuki did. Yuki was nice now and again, but Tohma had seemed ful-out nice. And I had just…Lost my chances. Things would never be alright again now. They couldn't possibly change at this point. …Could they?
