Chapter 2

"I… love… you…" Shuichi whispered, feeling everything drift away into the warm, comforting darkness.

----

He was surrounded by a thick fog.

What's going on? he wondered. Why does everything seem so slow?

"…just mild hypothermia and a fever, after a few days rest he should be good as new."

Shuichi wondered at the identity of the unfamiliar voice.

"Thank-you, Sensei." Replied another voice, one that Shuichi would recognize even deep in the throws of his fever induced dreams.

"nn… Yuki…" he mumbled, trying to open his eyes, but to no avail.

"Shh…" He felt a hand gently stroke his hair.

Sighing softly, he felt himself sink back into the dark fog…

----

"mmm…" he moaned, snuggling deeper into the softness. It was so warm and comfortable he just wanted to sleep forever and not return to the aches and stiffness he knew were awaiting him.

Giving a soft sigh, Shuichi opened his eyes blearily, feeling a headache throbbing just behind them.

He groaned as light from the open windows shone into his eyes, worsening the dull pain in his head.

Looking around, he suddenly realized he was in his and Yuki's bedroom.

"How'd I get here?" he whispered softly.

Shuichi thought it over for a few minutes, trying his hardest to remember. He could vaguely remember falling forward and feeling Yuki catch him. After that though, everything was a blur.

Giving it up (thinking made his head hurt), he closed his eyes and settled back in, listening to the silence.

A slight breeze drifted in through the small window, bringing with it the faint sounds of many cars. A soft clicking could be heard from the next room. Quiet prevailed.

After a while, as sleep continued to evade him, Shuichi began to feel lonely.

"I think I'll go find Yuki…" he murmured, knowing very well where the blonde author would be.

Pushing his aching body up with his elbows, Shuichi rolled to the edge of the bed, wincing a little at the chill of the floor.

He groaned, his sore muscles protesting as he stood up.

Weak-kneed, Shuichi stumbled to the wall, bracing himself against it while he fought off the sudden dizziness.

After a minute or so it passed and he began walking slowly towards the door, still holding onto the wall.

Staggering slowly down the hall, he finally reached the door to Yuki's study. Pausing to rest a minute, he reached down and opened the door as softly as he could.

Creak….

So much for softly.

Yuki jumped at the unexpected sound. Whipping around, he stared blankly at Shuichi for a second, surprised the boy was awake, much less up wandering around.

"What the hell are you doing up?" he asked crossly. "You should be in bed."

Shuichi flinched, the man's voice grating painfully on his headache.

"I'm sorry Yuki, I was… lonely…" he replied softly.

Yuki stood up, frowning.

"I'm busy brat, now go get back in bed. You're sick and you're only going to make yourself worse."

"I-I'm fine Yuki! See?!" the singer cried out softly, walking towards the annoyed blonde.

"I'm fine…" he mumbled again, suddenly lightheaded. He staggered and Yuki grabbed hold of him, stopping him from falling.

"Fine my ass." growled the author as he lifted his little lover, heading towards the study door.

Shuichi struggled to remain conscious, but he lost the fight as Yuki carried him down the hall.

Click click click click

Shuichi groaned.

Click click click click

He was laying propped up against something warm. Sighing softly, he did his best to snuggle deeper into whatever it was.

Meanwhile, the soft clicking noise continued somewhere close by.

Opening one eye slowly, he waited impatiently for his vision to come into focus.

The warm something he was laying against shifted slightly, cursing.

Blinking, he opened both eyes wide, trying to make sense of what he saw. Then all the puzzle pieces finally snapped into place.

The warm something he was leaning against was in fact, Yuki's muscular chest. The author was sitting on the couch, his arms wrapped around the small boy curled up on his lap to work on the laptop sitting atop his knees.

"Yuki…?" he mumbled softly, slightly confused.

Yuki glanced down and hid a smile when he saw the boy looking up at him with a dazed look. He could be so cute without even realizing it, not that Yuki would ever tell him that.

"Ah, you're finally awake. I was beginning to wonder if you'd ever rejoin the land of the living." He said with a smirk.

"Y–Yuki!" Shuichi gasped, sitting up suddenly. "What're you– Why am I–"

"Shut-up brat," Yuki frowned, irritated, "this is the only way to stop you from getting up and running around like goddamn monkey. You said you were lonely so I'm here."

Yuki took hold of the boy and pulled him back against his chest. "Now go back to sleep."

Shuichi pressed his face into Yuki's shoulder. "I'm sorry…" he mumbled, beginning to cry. "I just cause you problems! If I hadn't run off like that–"

Yuki grabbed his chin and forced it up, brushing his lips gently against the little singer's.

"I'm the one who should be sorry," he growled, staring intently into the smaller boy's eyes. "I shouldn't have said those things."

Sighing, Yuki leaned back and closed his eyes, sliding his left arm around Shuichi's waist.

"Promise me you won't do that again brat, you had me worried."

Sniff

Yuki opened his eyes again, staring back down at his lover.

Sniff

He watched in horrified fascination as Shuichi's eyes nearly doubled in size, swiftly filling up with tears.

"WWAAAHHHH!!!! Yuki loves me!!!!" he shrieked, throwing his arms around the startled blonde's neck, completely oblivious to the older man's desperate struggle for oxygen.

"Let go of me brat!" Yuki yelled back, trying to free himself from the human burr's death-grip. "I didn't say that!"

----

Outside a single bird chirped.

The rain had finally stopped.

Unknown to the two inside, the sun reappeared from behind the clouds.
