Chapter 2

Not So Happy New Year

"Are you sure he said love?" Hiro asked Shuichi as the band's car drove away from the entertainment hall. They were on their way to their respective new years events after finishing the concert for Hyunna tech.

"That's exactly what he said" Shuichi replied in a raised voice, "This guy is serious Hiro, and I don't think I have what it takes to say no to him". Fujisaki looked at Shuichi a bit puzzled by this statement

"Why is that Mr. Shindou?" Fujisaki asked, expecting to get the usual I don't know, from Shuichi.

"I know what he's going through" Shuichi responded in a shallow whisper, "It's almost exactly like what I went through with Yuki". Fujisaki and Hiro were shocked that Shuichi had realized such a thing on his own. The group fell silent for a moment, then Hiro spoke up.

"Is the feeling mutual?" he asked knowing what the answer would be.

"Of course not" Shuichi shouted back at him, "or at least…I don't think it is". Hiro and Fujisaki looked at one another in disbelief then turned their attention back to Shuichi.

"I think your letting that kiss go to your head pal" Hiro stated quite bluntly, "Why don't you just forget about it for now? Yuki is waiting to celebrate the evening with you, are you gonna disappoint him because of one fan boy that happened to press his lips against yours?"

Shuichi looked up with a determination in his eyes. "Of course not" Shuichi replied as he raised his fist to his face, fire rising from behind him. "No one gets between me and Yuki, and I mean no one!"

"That's good to hear, now stick to that" Hiro exclaimed with a wide smile. Shuichi gave him a thumbs up, then looked out the window of the moving vehicle. He had said all of that stuff in front of his friends, but did he really mean it? He asked himself the same question over and over again. Shuichi's mind continuously flashed back to the moment when he and Natsume kissed, and his heart skipped a beat.

"What's the matter with me?" Shuichi thought to himself, "This isn't love, I know that I love Yuki…so I can't possibly love Natsume…right?"

The car pulled alongside Yuki and Shuichi's home and Shuichi got out slowly. He turned and waved a goodbye to Hiro and Fujisaki before turning back to his home and walking inside.

Shuichi stepped inside and took off his shoes, he stepped onto the wooden floor and made his usual route into the living room. There he found Yuki, sitting and reading a book while smoking a cigarette and watching T.V. Shuichi smiled at him and sat next to him. "I see you had your usual idea of a fun evening" Shuichi joked as he leaned near Yuki.

Yuki looked up from his book and smiled at Shuichi, he extinguished his cigarette in the ash try before speaking. "it could have been better, or it could be". Yuki raised a hand and ran it along Shuichi's cheek. Shuichi turned bright pink and looked at Yuki with a smile.

"So what did you have in mind for tonight Yuki?" asked Shuichi with an expectant yet innocent tone to his voice. Yuki rose from the couch and walked into the kitchen where a large spread of food was waiting for them, it was all still warm which meant that it was just recently made.

"I figured I would try something different" Yuki said as he motioned for Shuichi to sit and eat with him. Shuichi's violet eyes grew large and sparkled like the stars in the night sky. Little hearts fluttered above his head and he tackled Yuki into a hug.

"Yuki, you're so wonderful" Shuichi exclaimed happily as they lay on the floor still hugging. Yuki smiles slightly and sat up with Shuichi in his arms and kissed him lightly then without a word, moved to the table and began to eat. Shuichi got the message and smiled, he sat at the table as well and looked at the food with a grin. Shuichi took his utensils in his hands and began to ravenously pile food onto his plate then eat at high speed.

Yuki was slightly taken aback by this, but laughed internally and continued to eat. Actions such as these were typical for Shuichi, so it was no surprise to him. Things went on like that until they had finished their meal. Afterwards, Yuki and Shuichi went out to the park where the two of them had first met. They stood together and watched the fire works which were still being set off all over the city.

Shuichi watched the magical colors in the sky as if he were a little kid again. He cuddled up to Yuki, and Yuki wrapped his arms around Shuichi with a smile. Just as it seemed the moment couldn't be better, as it seemed that nothing could ruin it, a newspaper blew in on the wind. It wafted for a bit before smacking Yuki dead in the face. Yuki removed it in a huff and glared at it for a moment. As he read the headline his gaze softened and he crumpled it into a ball and removed himself from Shuichi.

Shuichi turned and looked at Yuki who's gaze had now reverted to the same gaze he'd given Shuichi near the beginning of their relationship. "Yuki" Shuichi started, "What's the matter?" Yuki merely turned away from Shuichi and started away.

"don't bother coming home tonight" Yuki said coldly as he threw the newspaper to the floor and walked out of sight. Shuichi was heartbroken and confused, he turned to the crumpled paper and picked it up. He opened it up and read the headline, his eyes widened with fear. The paper was an advanced copy of tomorrow's newspaper, the headline was clear as day, and even had a picture to go with it.

"Sensational pop star kisses new tech representative, does Eiri Yuki know?"

Shuichi dropped the paper and looked in the direction that Yuki had walked off in. he wanted to chase after Yuki, but he knew without a doubt in his mind, there was no way to explain this to him. He knew that Hiro had made plans with Aiyaka, and that Fujisaki had gone to visit with Tohma for the evening, so with nowhere else to go, Shuichi decided to turn to the one person he knew would listen to his problems. The one person who'd helped him every time he needed it, when Hiro wasn't around.

Ryuichi Sakuma.

End chapter 2

CW- well I know it wasn't as good as the first one, but I'm pretty sure that those of you who know gravitation, know that we must build up the tension a little more before we get to the hard core stuff, right?

Ryuichi- yay I get to be in the next chapter.

Shuichi- "laughs" this should be fun

Yuki- why are we telling this story again?

CW- because my ratings are down, and you guys are gold

Ryuichi- gold? "pulls out a gold watch" like this?

CW- yes Ryu, like that. Anyway, the next chapter should have you all laughing your asses off, so be sure to keep reading. Until next chapter!

Shuichi and Ryuichi- please review!

Yuki- and while you're at it, give me something to read, voice your opinion on how you think the next chapter will go.
