Konnichiwa! Thank you to all who read my story and reviewed, even those who are repulsed by the idea of any kind of Tohma x Yuki pairing. My muse is happy with the reviews, and so am I. Anyway, here's chapter two…but first, the announcements.

Rated M for lemony scenes and some language. Full out Lemon in next chapter. #

Pairing: Yuki x Shuichi, Tohma x Yuki (next chapter)

Disclaimer: I do NOT own these characters; I just use them for my own sick perverted mind. Don't sue me….I'm poor…T.T

Chapter Two

"-ki…Yuki…please…wake up…"

I don't open my eyes even though I'm now conscious. I want to listen to his words… His voice sounds higher than normal…not whiney…but sad. I slowly open up my eyes, and I'm met by two violet round orbs. I stare at him, and watch those beautiful eyes fill with tears. His face contorts as he begins to sob. He wraps his arms around my waist and hugs me tightly, burying his face into my neck.

I place my hand on his back and hug him tighter to me, placing my other hand in his hair, petting it softly as I try to get him to calm down. "Shuichi…" I drawl out in a low whisper. It seems my headache has gotten worse and judging from the tile I can feel on my back, I must have fallen into the wall and hit my head. I place a hand on the back of my head. Yep, there's the bump…Damn it…

I try to get him because of my brand new stiff neck but he won't move. I sit there for a while, listening to him cry, but my headache and stiff neck win the battle. I slowly try to stand, but as soon as I'm up, my world begins to spin. Shuichi catches me and he lowers me to the floor. He stares at me with his tear stained face and sad eyes. It makes me want to cry…

"Yuki…"

I gasp as his voice breaks the sickening silence. I brace myself for the whiney lecture that is sure to come.

"Yuki…"

"What?"

"…Do you love me?"

He's asked me this so many times, but I don't know how to answer him this time. He usually asks me this after we've had a fight, or after I've made love to him, and I always answer 'mmhmm' or 'yes'…but I've never said those three words he's so longed to hear.

"You do, don't you? I know you do. Deep own…in your heart, you love me as much as I love you…so why can't you tell me what's wrong? I can help you get through this, but you have to tell me what 'this' is…"

I sit up and capture him in a loving embrace. He gasps at the sudden gesture and shudders as I speak softly into his ear.

"Shuichi…if you truly love me… then you have to listen to me and try to understand my situation…you won't like what I say, and I don't blame you…but, please…I'm begging you to hear me out before you do anything…"

I pull back and watch as he nods his head in agreement. His eyes are pleading with me to tell him, but…something tells me he knows what's about to come…

I take a deep breath and gather my courage.

"Shuichi…The reason why I was late, why I wasn't there when you got home…it was because I went to see Tohma…We were just supposed to talk but…I don't even know how it happened…it just did…"

I watch as fresh tears fill his dark, violet eyes. The look on his face isn't one of surprise…just hurt…

"I'm so sorry, Shuichi…"

His mouth opens, as if he's going to say something, but nothing comes out. He stands up and turns, hand outstretched toward the doorknob. I quickly get up and grab his arm, careful not to lose my balance as my head swims. He isn't struggling to get out of my grasp; he just stands there with his head hanging. I see a tear fall from his face and drop to the floor.

I walk toward him, and press his body close to mine. I wrap my arms around his waist and chest, hugging him as close to me as I can. I bend my head down and speak gently into his ear.

"Shuichi…please forgive me…I didn't mean to hurt you…"

He places his hands on top of mine and gently peels them away from his body, then turns around to face me with those sad, dismal eyes.

"Yuki…I need some time alone…to think…and I believe you need to work things out as well. I'm gonna stay at Hiro's tonight…I'll see you tomorrow."

I watch as he turns and opens the door and for some reason, I can't just let him leave like that.

"I love you, Shuichi."

He stops and nods his head, then walks out the door. I'm standing still, until the terrible sound of the front door reaches my ears. I don't know why, but that sound makes my heart break. My legs buckle beneath me, and I crumble to the floor, sobbing quietly.

It's not because I think he's going to leave me…no, I can tell by the way he acted that he won't leave me. I'm crying because of the hidden message in my lover's words, 'you need to work things out as well.' In order for me to fix this, I have to go back to him…to Tohma…

AN: I'm sorry it's not as long as the last chapter, but it is damn angsty. My next chapter will be up soon. I haven't decided if I should make it the last chapter or not, but I'm sure everything will work out. Before I forget, my twin sister and I have a joint account called yaoitwinz. I'll tell you when we post so you can check it out. I'm writing the first chapter, she's writing the lemon.

Till next time! Oh! And check out psycho neko-chan. She's my sister, and she writes really well. She has a fic posted up under D.N.Angel. Check it out!
