CW- ok, so to everyone who has been waiting for the story to move on, I apologize. My family and I are in the process of moving to a new house so I don't have the luxury of free time right now, but once it's all done things will move much smoother.
Yuki- excuses
CW- what?
Yuki- you're just making excuses
CW- hey, hey! That's not true and you know it! You're holding one of the boxes that needs to be pout in the tuck!
Yuki- it's still an excuse "walks outside with the box"
Shuichi- sorry about him, he's not exactly happy about having to do manual labor
CW- who is…where did Ryuichi go?
Ryuichi- I'm up here "smiles as he sits on top of the truck"
CW- what the hell? Get down from there!
Shuichi- I'll get him, you answer the reviews
CW- fine
Em-Chan15- thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you like the story so much.
Madelynn- thanks for the review, sorry I didn't include your emoticon in there. I'm guessing you're looking forward to the Ryuichi chapters huh? Well, I will not disappoint you.
Kitty in a box- thanks for the review, and welcome to the fan base. I like it when Yuki gets jealous too, plus it just wouldn't be a story unless he was jealous.
CW- ok, that's all of them
Shuichi- come on Ryuichi, get down
Ryuichi- wow, I think I can see my house from here
Yuki- your house is to far away
Ryuichi- ok then never mind
CW- ugh forget it, I'm starting the chapter, just get him down!
Shuichi- right
Yuki- "glares and sighs"
Chapter 3
Ryuichi's Help, And His Love Too?
Shuichi wandered through the streets at 3 in the morning. He was still upset about what Yuki had said to him, and he was on his way to consult his only hope on this matter, Ryuichi. He knew Ryuichi wasn't the smartest person in the world , but if there was ever a person that cared about Shuichi, it was Ryuichi.
"I still don't understand though" Shuichi muttered to himself as he walked along. "Why didn't Yuki give me a chance to explain myself?" Shuichi mused over this for a little while. "He's never been one to listen to stories, but he did always give me a slight chance".
Random people looked at Shuichi from their windows as he walked down the street. They were all too drunk to care though. Shuichi finally came upon Ryuichi's home, which was lavish yet simple, as was Ryuichi's taste. Shuichi nervously approached the door and knocked. A few moments passed and not a sound was heard, then , the doorknob turned, and Ryuichi's little bunny, Kumagorou, answered the door.
"Hi" came the little bunny's high pitched voice, Shuichi looked at it quizzically for a moment then smile.
"Hello Mr. Sakuma" Shuichi replied politely.
"Oh, Shuichi" came Ryuichi's voice as he came from around the corner of the doorway revealing himself holding his bunny, "I wasn't expecting to see you tonight". Ryuichi smiled his usual cute smile, Shuichi took that, and his complete sentence, as a sign that he was having one of his intellectual moments. This meant that it was the perfect time to ask Ryuichi about the problem. "Please, come inside" Ryuichi motioned for him to enter the house, and Shuichi entered slowly.
Ryuichi's house was quaint yet elegant, decorated with bunny wallpapering in certain rooms, just like a child's play room. Ryuichi brought Shuichi into the living room where there was a large TV set up with a Karaoke Machine attached to it. A small couch and a coffee table in the center. Both of them sat on the small couch facing each other.
"So, what brings you here Shuichi?" Ryuichi asked, his serious expression still on his face.
"Well" Shuichi started as he wove his tail to Ryuichi's ears. He went on for about 15 minutes at a very fast paced speed of talking before he finally concluded with "so I came here to ask for your help..I hope you don't mind".
Ryuichi paused for a moment with slightly widened eyes. He looked to be deep in thought about the whole thing. Suddenly he got to his feet, leaned over Shuichi and put his hands on Shuichi's shoulders. He began shaking him violently "someone else kissed you?" he exclaimed in his child like voice, signifying that his serious mood had now reverted back to its usual childish form.
"I-it wasn't my fault" Shuichi replied in a shaky voice while Ryuichi continued to shake him. "He kissed me, and then Yuki got mad". At this statement, Ryuichi stopped shaking Shuichi and looked him in the eyes.
"Of course he got mad" Ryuichi went on, "Mr. Yuki isn't good enough for you". Shuichi's eyes widened at this comment. "I knew it the whole time" continued Ryuichi, "He's to cold, and uncaring, not worth your time at all". Shuichi was now resisting the urge to burst out yelling at Ryuichi. "I'm so much better for you" exclaimed Ryuichi, at this Shuichi was completely shocked.
"What did you say?" Shuichi whispered in shock. Ryuichi removed himself from Shuichi and looked at him a bit more seriously.
"Yuki isn't good enough for you Shuichi" he stated once again, "he doesn't have the same love for you. that I do…". Shuichi went completely silent and was unable to move or speak for a few moments./ "I'll prove it" Ryuichi said with a less serious tone. "I'll fight Yuki for you and if I win, you can be my boyfriend.". Ryuichi dashed into another room and came back into the living room wearing a karate master's outfit.
He proceeded to make several martial arts-like movements and then bowed to Shuichi. Shuichi looked at him awkwardly, wondering if what he was saying was a joke, or actually real, but he decided it would be best to detour the subject by playing along.
"If you wanna fight Yuki, you'll have to be at your best" Shuichi said as he stood and removed his cloths to reveal a martial arts outfit similar to Ryuichi's. "Show me what you've got". The two of them went on to laugh and have fun as they play fought around the house. All of the exercise and enjoyment helped to take both of their minds off the matter at hand, though it was easier for Ryuichi then it was for Shuichi.
Around 4 in the morning, both of them were exhausted and were resting in the living room once again. Shuichi smiled at Ryuichi and managed to speak through his heavy panting.
"Man, I'm beat" he said with a panting laugh. Ryuichi looked at him awkwardly for a moment then smiled and pulled a bag from under his couch.
"Beat" repeated Ryuichi as he dug through his back, "you mean like this?" he pulled a beat out of his bag. CW- for those of you who don't know, a beat is a weird purple fruit that is sweet in taste yet sometimes sour, I'm not completely sure about it being a fruit, it might be a vegetable
Shuichi looked at Ryuichi with a wide smile and laughed out loud. "Any chance you could make that into juice?" Shuichi asked jokingly. Ryuichi smiled and pulled a blender out of his bag.
"Sure thing" Ryuichi replied as he plugged in the blender. He threw in some ice cubes with the large beat and blended them into an ice cold drink which he poured for the two of them. "Drinky, drinky Shuichi" Ryuichi exclaimed as they knocked the glasses together and drank the juice in once gulp.
The two of them sat there in silence for a little while, until Ryuichi broke the silence wit a question. "So Shuichi" he began, "What are you going to do about Yuki?" Shuichi paused at this, a little distressed, but his cleared mind allowed him to come up with an idea.
"There's only one thing I can do" Shuichi replied as a determined look grew on his face. "I'll go and find that Natsume guy, and get him to tell Yuki himself". Ryuichi smiled slightly, it was more of a half smile really.
"I'm glad you figured it out" Ryuichi replied as he got to his feet. "If you want, you can stay here tonight Shuichi, I have a spare room you can use. Or you can sleep in my bed". Shuichi's eyes widened for a moment, then he realized that Ryuichi's serious moment had once again ended.
"I think I'll take the spare room" Shuichi replied with a small laugh. Ryuichi smiled and nodded before showing him to his room for the night. As Shuichi entered the room and turned to close the door, Ryuichi gave him a serious look and spoke.
"Remember Shuichi" he started in a serious tone, "no matter what happens, with Yuki, with Natsume or anything else, just know, I'll still love you, and I'll fight for you". With that, Ryuichi took his leave and left Shuichi to contemplate the matters at hand. As he climbed into the bed and lay down under the covers, the words that Ryuichi left him with seemed to ring in his mind. It suddenly occurred to Shuichi what had just happened. He had just been put in the middle of a triangle of men who all had feelings for him.
"The worlds weirdest love triangle" Shuichi muttered as he settled into bed and yawned, "or something like that". Shuichi slowly drifted off to sleep, knowing that the next day, he had a long adventure ahead of him.
