Disaster
Chapter 8

Standard disclaimer (still)

Reasons and Scenarios

Yuki was mostly over his break down. He still shuddered when he thought of Tatsuha, but he didn't go into total mass shock any more.

"Are you going to pay me off to keep quiet with this whole thing?" Tohma asked jokingly.

"What?" Yuki asked, driven from thoughts of Shuichi.

"Are you going to pay me off to keep quiet about your reaction after the club?" Tohma asked again.

"Ha," Yuki replied back bitterly.

"I'll keep it a secret," Tohma promised, "As long as a get a kiss."

"Dream on," Yuki shot back, getting up from his spot on the couch, "Are you staying for dinner?"

"I better not, I think Mika's starting to get jealous of all the time I'm spending with you," Tohma answered, standing up as well in order to follow Yuki into the kitchen.

"I suppose that would make sense," Yuki reasoned.

"Yes well, she started getting suspicious of my motives when you broke up with Shuichi for me," Tohma explained.

"I didn't break up with him for you, I broke up with him because the kid was getting on my nerves," Yuki contradicted.

"Right," Tohma agreed sarcastically.

Yuki just rolled his eyes as a response.

"You broke up with him because you knew your relationship worried me too much," Tohma continued.

"Mika'll be expecting you home soon," Yuki said, clearly changing the subject.

"Alright, I understand," Tohma nodded, "That subject is taboo. I'll see you later Eiri."

"Yep," Yuki said carelessly.

"Your friend's in a coma," a doctor at the hospital explained to Hiro and Suguru, "You can go into see him if you'd like."

A truck had hit the lead singer of Bad Luck.

"We're not sure if he'll ever wake up and even if he does his brain's condition could be very bad," the doctor explained with an indifferent and matter of fact voice.

"He could be a vegetable," Hiro realized.

"He'll be fine," said Suguru with confidence, "It'd be pathetic for the lead singer of Bad Luck to let a car stop him."

"Right," Hiro said with equal confidence, "A bulldozer couldn't even stop our Shuichi."

"Does that mean you want to see him?" the doctor asked them both.

"Yes," Suguru said at the same time Hiro said, "No."

"Why not?" Suguru asked, looking at Hiro.

"I've got to take care of something first. You go see him," Hiro urged, running out of the waiting room and into the elevators.

Bang bang bang sounded Yuki's door.

"What do you want?" Yuki asked, opening the door before looking at who it was.

"Why did you break up with Shuichi?" the visitor shouted suddenly.

"Hiro," Yuki stated, raising his eyebrows slightly, "This is a surprise."

"Why did you break up with Shuichi?" Hiro asked again.

"He was annoying me," Yuki answered, beginning to close the door.

Hiro refused his brush off.

"I don't believe you," Hiro said, wedging his foot in between the door and the doorframe, "There has to be another reason."

Yuki sighed, "You said so yourself that I make Shuichi's life harder, I though you'd be happy about this."

"I didn't want you to break up with him!" Hiro shouted.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Yuki shouted right back, "You were the one that originally broke us up!"

"Yeah but…" Hiro tried to explain, "that was only because I thought an overemotional Shuichi was bad but…he's ten times worse off without you."

"I don't care," Yuki replied indifferently, "Just leave me alone."

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you care at all?" Hiro continued to scream.

"I'm a cold-hearted bastard and Shuichi can't handle it," Yuki answered truthfully, "He wants someone to love him, and I can't do that. He'll be happier with someone else."

Hiro's eyes widened, this was a side of Yuki he had never seen before.

"Shuichi's asking for things I can never give him and yet he won't go away," Yuki continued, "so I made him move on."

"You care about him though," Hiro said in disbelief, "You care about his well being."

"Of course I do," Yuki replied carelessly, "But just because I care for him doesn't mean we belong together."

"That's exactly what it means!" Hiro argued, "I thought you didn't care about whether Shuichi lived or died. That's why I didn't like to see him so in love with you. If you care about him, then it means that you are good for him. I'm sorry that I didn't see it before."

"Tohma?" Suguru asked, sitting by Shuichi's bed, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to ask you a question," Tohma explained, looking poignant.

"What?" asked Suguru quickly from his worry.

"How much do you love Shuichi?" Tohma asked his nephew.

"A lot," Suguru answered with confidence, "He means more than I ever thought he might."

"Yet he still loves Yuki," Tohma reminded him.

"Yes, I'm well aware of that," Suguru answered back bitterly.

"So if Yuki asks for him to come back, he'll accept. What will you do then?" Tohma asked Suguru.

"…I'd give him up," Suguru answered despondently, "If Shuichi would be happiest with Yuki (and I'm sure he would be) then I'd give him up."

"I wish that was what I could do," Tohma admitted, "I know Yuki would be happier with Shuichi…but I just can't let him go."

"Then you don't love him quite as much as you thought, do you? Otherwise you would give him what would make him happiest," Suguru replied bluntly.

"It's harder than just saying you'll do it," Tohma defended angrily, "Let's see if you'll actually do it in the end."

Without another word between the two Tohma spun on his heel and marched out of the room.

Suguru looked down at Shuichi forlornly. Could Suguru really give up on Shuichi if he got back together with Yuki? And if he did, would he ever find a replacement for the pink haired singer?

"Hey, wait. Change it back, I liked that show."

"That show is complete crap. I refuse to watch it."

"Wait. That's Ryuchi in one of his past concerts. You have to at least stop to watch it for a minute."

"Tatsuha makes me watch that guy's concerts on videos so much I'm sick of all of them."

"You bastard! Change it back right now!"

"Try and make me."

"Fine!" Hiro screamed, jumping at Yuki who had control of the remote.

"AH!" Yuki screamed as Hiro bit the wrist that connected to the hand the remote was in.

"Give it to me, Asshole!" Hiro demanded, pushing into Yuki and knocking him on the floor. Yuki grabbed the boy's shirt and dragged him down with him, causing Hiro to collapse right onto Yuki.

"You might want to rethink that statement, it could make Shuichi jealous," Tohma said walking into Yuki's house uninvited.

"What are you doing here, Tohma?" Yuki asked, trying to pull Hiro off him.

"I thought you might want to visit Shuichi in the hospital and I decided to give you a ride," Tohma replied.

Alright, we're almost done! I'm not sure if you guys will think of that as a good thing or as a bad thing...
