A Gravitational Series of Unfortunate Events

Rune Alchemist Kaori

Disclaimer: I have not owned, nor will I ever own (unless something really freaky happened) any characters from Gravitation.

A/N: Thanks for the reviews guys! They... hmm what's the word I'm looking for; inspire me to keep trying, even though half the stuff I write is crap... sweatdrop
Oh yeah, and just one other note. My sister mentioned to me that perhaps I should say that this roleplay really has nothing to do with the books "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket. Just thought I'd tell you that.

Chapter 4

Shuichi was bored. His day had been terrible. He had been scolded severely for being late and when he tried to explain that he had been up late helping Yuki he was only scolded even more and Seguchi-san had threatened to personally remove him from Yuki's home.

He had just finished supper, and even though Yuki had told him not to stay up and wait for him he sat in the living room anyway, waiting for his lover to come home. It wasn't really that late, only about 9 PM. He sighed heavily. Yuki had told him he would be home in time for supper but he still wasn't home yet... what if he was hurt? What if he was in the hospital! Shuichi bit his lip, terribly worried, until he heard the door open.

Yuki walked inside. What a rough day it had been. His editor had been very disappointed in him, and now he only had two weeks to fix the book and get it back to her. He was told that even that would be pushing the limits. As he walked further into his home, slipping out of his shoes he was greeted by getting attacked by his lover.

"Yuki! I was so worried about you! I thought that maybe something horrible had happened to you!"

Shuichi's arms were wrapped tightly around the author to the point that Yuki had to drag the boy along like a weight tied to him, as he tried to reach the kitchen.

"Please get off me," Yuki said after attempting to get through the doorway with another body attached to him. Shuichi nodded.

"I'm just so happy you're ok!" Shuichi said, looking so relieved that it was nearly impossible for Yuki to yell at him as he had been planning to do.

"I'm fine, just leave me alone, it's been a rough day," the tired young man stated calmly, and a little less coldly than normal.

"Yeah I know what you mean," Shuichi said nodding his head, "Everyone was mad at me for being late today, and then Seguchi-san said he'd make me leave because I was becoming too much of a stress issue for you. He's so mean to me."

Shuichi pouted. Yuki groaned and closed his eyes in exasperation.

"I did not need a summary of your bad day," he said, "I had enough of a bad day myself..."

"Oh... I'm sorry," the singer mumbled, which half surprised Yuki

"Fine, just leave me alone for a while," the blond said, going into the kitchen to get something to eat. He had finished eating and was just getting a good strong drink when he suddenly winced. Music blared through the apartment and heard two rather distinct voices. One was that of Sakuma Ryuichi, (which was obviously recorded because why the hell would Ryuichi be in his apartment!), and the other was his own little Shu-chan.

"Damnit Shuichi turn your damn music down!" the author yelled furiously.

"What?" Shuichi asked, not hearing him well enough.

"TURN THE DAMN MUSIC DOWN BRAT!"

"WHAT?"

Yuki got up angrily and went into the livingroom to see Shuichi doing an imitation of his formal idol's dancing. He paused briefly. Cute he thought silently. Not cute enough to be allowed to keep his music up that loud though. The older male walked over to the television and turned it off.

"Hey!" Shuichi said, looking up at his lover, but Yuki's lips then pressed against his softly.

"Shut up," Yuki said to the stunned vocalist, "You're being too loud and I have a headache."

Shuichi opened his mouth to apologize but Yuki placed a finger to his lips.

"Don't say you're sorry, just do as I ask," he said sternly. The pink-haired boy nodded, looking ashamed. Yuki collapsed onto the couch and leaned back closing his eyes. He felt Shuichi sit down beside him and then after a few more minutes he felt a weight on his lap. He opened his eyes and saw that the boy had laid his head lightly on his lap. Almost as if out of habit he gently stroked his lover's pink hair.

"Are you still mad Yuki?" Shuichi all but whispered to him.

"No, but be quiet a little longer," the older male said softly. Shuichi's eyes closed. He enjoyed the small attention he was receiving from his love. It was soothing to him after his rough day, and unbeknownst to him but it was also soothing to Yuki. The soft silence; not an uncomfortable one, just a mutual agreement to stay quiet and be together; it felt nice and the warmth that they gained from each other made it all rather cozy.

Yuki finished his drink and sat up a little more. He looked down at Shuichi with slight amusement.

"Don't you have a song that needs to be written by tomorrow." the blond whispered.

"Oh shit..." Shuichi muttered springing up from Yuki's lap and running to go get paper and a pen to finish the lyrics to his song.

A/N: Wow, I have so far kept my promise of updating frequently. Cross your fingers that it stays that way. ;-)
