Chapter 3

"Shuichi, if you don't wake up, I'll never forgive you." Hiro said in a whisper as he sat beside Shuichi's bed, holding his hand.

"But Hiro, I didn't mean to take the cookies from the cookie jar." Hiro stared at Shuichi, shocked to hear the young boy's voice. Shuichi had been in the hospital for three days—unconscious. Hiro thought he was never going to get up. Soon happy tears filled the guitarist eyes.

"Hiro? I couldn't see you, I ran for so long but I couldn't see you until..." Shuichi started but was cut off when the door flew open.

"YUKI!" Hiro yelled in shock.

"Yuki..." Shuichi whispered slowly. He was happy to see Yuki—he can never lie about that, and maybe he was even happier to see Yuki than he was to see Hiro.

"Well, I'm glad I wasn't forgotten."

"Yuki your..."

"Hiro! Please I want to talk to Yuki." Shuichi signaled for Hiro to leave.

"But Shuichi!" He protested, but agreed and as he walked out he stared at the novelist while he di the same then walked out.

"Yuki... I love Hiro and I will never be in your way again... I don't know how long I've been here, but I know that Hiro has been here the whole time. Yuki, I'm leaving you."

"Why? Do you love him more than me?" He clenched his fist.

"..."

"I never meant to hurt you... You already should know that-" He started but was cut off.

"So, why did you hurt me? I never cared that you never said I love you. I never cared when you would force me to sleep on the couch. I didn't care..." He trailed off. "All that meant anything to me was that you were with me. And even after you broke up with me you still affected everything I did."

"Well, I guess my being here is a problem for you now. I...I didn't know! I didn't know you were going to get hurt..." He trailed off, walking up to the bed where Shuichi lay. "How do you know that he's the one?"

"Because he was the one that found me... he saved he." He eyes becoming watery.

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you... But I tried!" Before the singer could take another breath, he felt warn arms wrap around his body, crushing their forms together. "I went out looking for you, I tired to bring you back... I can't let him take you away because he found you first." Shuichi knew he still loved Yuki and most likely always will, but he couldn't help Yuki because Yuki never let him. "But you have to know that I did try. I tried so hard it hurts to see you like this now."

"Yuki, I want to be your friend... and a friend is what I should be, not a lover." He spoke into the broad shoulders that held him in place.

"I can't think of you as some fling that didn't last. And if we can't be lovers, we can't be friends." Finally, he released Shuichi from the hug and turned away.

Yuki turned and headed for the door when Shuichi called out to him. Shuichi got up and limped over to Yuki who still had his back turned.

"Yuki I'm not mad you. I love you and I always will. I still want to be there for you." Shuichi hugged Yuki from his back. Yuki was now glad he didn't turn because a single tear seemed to slip and fall from his eyes. Yuki hadn't cried since he was young when he shot his first love.

"Shuichi I'm okay, really. I won't hurt you any more... I promise." Yuki took Shuichi's slender hand and tenderly kissed each fingertip sending jolts up the singer's spine.

"I'm not going see you anymore. I'm leaving for New York. Tonight." Yuki turned around to see Shuichi's beautiful eyes one final time and leaned forward kissing Shuichi, for a short moment, to savor his beautiful lips for the last time. Shuichi was frozen. Yuki walked out the door.

"What just happened?" Shuichi stared at the closed door trying to figure out what he just heard. Before long, Hiro walked in with a frown.

"He's not coming back... I'm sorry." Hiro came up behind Shuichi and placed his arms around him.

"I...I didn't want him to leave!" Shuichi felt tears threatening to pour.

"Shuichi, please. You'll faint if you don't calm down!"

"I'm sorry Hiro, but, I see now that I never wanted you to save me. I wanted Yuki." He cried out.

- Moments Later -

A tall blond stepped into a stylish black Mercedes. Flooring it, he pulled out his cell phone.

"Tohma..." He whispered. "I'm leaving tonight... permanently."

'But Yuki, you cant!' Could be heard on the other line.

"There's nothing left for me to stay anymore." With that he pressed 'END' on his phone.
