"Mask-chapter 6"
-courage and doubts-
Ryuichi slowly made his way out of the building, still holding Kumaguro in his arms. He looked at the clear blue sky and smiled. 'No one will hurt you anymore Shuichi' he whispered gently into the air.
Yuki walked around and went to places where Shuichi usually went, hopefully he'd be there. He had been walking for almost an hour now, he was about to give up he saw a pink-haired boy walking down the street. Yuki without wasting time immediately chased after the boy and managed to catch up with him.
"Shuichi?"Yuki spoke out. The boy spun around demo he wasn't Shuichi.
"Gomen demo I'm not Shuichi"the boy replied.
"Go-gomen" Yuki apologized and walked away.
' God I' think I'm going crazy' Yuki though as he sat down at a bench and rubbed his temples.
"Onichan!!" a voice called out to him, a voice which was truly familiar to him.
'Chikuso!' he cursed mentally as he turned around and saw him brother Tatsuha.
"Oi!why are you here?did that old fart forced you to take me home?" Yuki asked.Tatsuha could only chuckle.
"Iie, I'm just dropping by to see how you were and hopefully be with my honey Ryuichi" he answered. Yuki just snorted,stood up and started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Tatsuha asked.
"To find Shuichi" was Yuki's only reply as he started to walk away once more, Tatsuha grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him back. "What happened?" Tatsuha said with concern. Yuki was froze and remained silent.
Tohma fixed himself up and was still a bit stunned oh how Ryuichi acted towards him today. He sighed and decided to give Yuki a call. The phone rang but sadly no one picked up. After 7 rings it was the answering machine's job. Tohma sighed once more and hung up.
'Where could you be at this time Eiri-san?' Tohma thought.
Ryuichi decided to buy some gifts for Shuichi, hoping that it will make him feel better. He spotted a bunny plushie that is the exact copy of Kumaguro. He immediately went inside the store and bought it for his pink haired 'friend'. He decided to go home and check up on Shuichi.
He went inside his house and peeked in. He again, saw Shuichi curled up in a ball crying his heart out. He quickly rushed over to Shuichi and held him in his arms.
"Shu , what happened?" Ryuichi asked.
" I called Yuki, I'm so stupid… I don't know how I feel right now Ryu-san. I hate him for what he did demo deep inside I still love him" Shuichi answered and broke into more tears. Ryuichi hugged him tighter and rubbed his back.
"Shhh…everything will be alright I'll see to it. Maybe you should try to move on, look at me I lived even without Tatsuha in my life and I know you can too Shu-chan. You are strong, I believe in you" Ryuichi comforted. Shuichi just nodded and snuggled into Ryuichi some more, remaining in that position.
"What happened?" Tatsuha asked once more. Yuki tried to keep his cool by lighting his cigarette and puffed on it.
"The brat ran away. It's not like I really care on anything" Yuki lied.
"Mou..that's enough Aniki, are you too proud to admit that despite Shuichi being annoying he changed your life" Tatsuha said.Yuki just snorted and continued to puff. Tatsuha sat down and looked at the ground sighing.
"Ryuichi left me" Tatsuha began.
"Because you're such a pervert" Yuki retorted.
"Mou…I'm not that perverted. Well okay I am but god he was just so irresistible…that I..I"Tatsuha continued.Yuki raised his brow.
"That you what?" Yuki asked annoyed waiting for an answer.
"I almost raped him" Tatsuha said sadly.Yuki's eyes widened. He actually felt sorry for his brother. He moved closer to him and gave him a pat on his back. Tatsuha smiled a bit but still could not hide the pained expression on his face.
"We'll have them back" Yuki said. Tatsuha looked at his brother oblivious to what he was trying to say. Yuki turned to face his brother.
"We shall have them both back"Yuki restated, Tatsuha just nodding in reply. They stood up and decided to go home.
"Yay! Aniki will cook.. I want ramen and curry" Tatsuha genkily said. Yuki bonked him on the head.
"Don't get too comfy" Yuki shot back. Tatsuha smiled 'Typical Aniki'.
