Chapter # 2: My Memory
It was happening. As much as I hated the facts. It was really happening. Tohma sat there, smiling at me and I felt my cheeks burn even more as I looked away, staring at the bed sheet. Tohma's smile changed slightly. He placed a hand on mine.
"I was very worried about you Shuichi, you're lucky you were found when you were…"
"I…I just…" I sighed,
"I don't remember what happened to me last night…"
He seemed shocked by this, but hid it with his smile.
"I don't remember anything…Except for the fact that Yuki kicked me out again…Because of his new boyfriend…'BAD LUCK' can't be a band anymore…Not after that…Not after I saw that…" I stated tears trailing down my cheeks.
Tohma sighed,
"I understand…I actually gave up on Yuki because of his new boyfriend…Thought I knew about it long before you did…"
"You mean…He was cheating on me!"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me!"
"I knew you'd figure it out on your own…And I couldn't have a private word with you even if I tried…Not with K-san and the others always around you eavesdropping."
I sighed,
"That makes sense…"
I still couldn't believe that Yuki had betrayed me like this…With Fujisaki, Suguru of all people. My band mate. My friend.
'Then Tohma gave up because it angered him that Yuki would rather be with Suguru?' The thought ran through my mind suddenly.
"Did you give up on him because…He'd rather be with Suguru?"
"Because Suguru took him when he knew how much a chance would've meant to me…So I decided, if he wanted Suguru…I didn't want him…I like someone new now…And it's all thanks to something they've done for me…"
"What did they do for you?"
Tohma froze, thinking of something to say,
"They helped me out…" He said simply.
Tohma's Flashback (Tohma's POV)
I stared at the brunette who refused to leave my office. I wished she'd leave already,
"So, I suggest you leave my brother alone, got it? Just because I'm gone, doesn't mean you should go after him. Besides, you know he's dating someone new…Behind Shindo's back of course…"
"I know," I groaned.
"Don't use an additude with me, now listen up—"
"I think he heard you the first five times you said it Mika-chan," a voice said suddenly.
I looked up from staring at my desk, to see a pink haired male, with his back to me, arms crossed over his chest, staring at Mika. He was trying to get rid of her.
"So why don't you leave?" He questioned sternly,
"I'm sure Seguchi-san, has plenty better things to do then listen to you."
'Damn,' I thought suddenly,
'He's different when he's forceful…Interesting…'
I leaned back in my chair, watching as Mika's expression changed. She went from looking strong and tough to looking like she might just drop her jaw onto the floor.
'Very interesting indeed.'
Soon Mika stormed off and out of the room. I sat back up in my chair, hands together on my desk. Shuichi turned around and faced me,
"Sorry for interrupting sir."
"Not at all…In fact, you just relieved me of some stress."
"Oh. So, you're not mad?"
"Of course not. Now, what did you need?"
"Oh! Right! Uhm…I just…I came because of…"
'He's stuttering?'
"…Suguru told me to give you this…" he stated holding out a note to me.
"I…I really didn't want to."
I took the note and looked it over,
'Bet you're jealous now huh?'
I sighed and shoved the note away, into my desk. Shuichi stared at me, concerned.
"Are you alright Seguchi-san?"
I looked up to him and saw all of his concern for me and for what I was feeling at that point in time. And that's when the feeling began.
End Flash Back (Tohma's POV)
Return to Shuichi's POV
I could see him reflecting on his past and almost swore I saw my name written in his eyes. Was he thinking about me? Was he thinking about the time when I had help him to get rid of Mika? With Tohma…It was hard to tell.
