Chapter 9

Tuesday morning Shuichi woke up on the couch, tired and sore. He had gotten very little sleep. The memory of Ryuichi's kiss burned in his mind. The look on Yuki's face struck him hard each time he thought about it, to the point that he felt he would be sick. Slowly the singer walked into the kitchen and then jumped in surprise when he saw a blond that definitely was not his Yuki.

"S..Seguchi-san.." he said, still rather startled

"Good morning Shindou-san."

"God! Don't you even knock?!" Shuichi snapped angrily at his boss.

"I did knock, but no one answered so I let myself in," Tohma replied, his usual soft smile in place.

"Well what do you want? Yuki's asleep..."

"I'm not here for Yuki, Shindou-san, I'm here to tell you that you're taking today off to move into your new apartment. Here is the address and Mika-chan has kindly offered you her time and the use of her car to transport your things."

Shuichi stood there stunned so Tohma continued.

"Eiri has a meeting today at 10 AM and it will give you two hours to move all of your things into your new apartment Shindou-san. It shouldn't be a problem. Here is your key and I'll see you at N-G tomorrow."

The blond smiled cruelly, but as he passed Shuichi's now trembling form, he couldn't keep it up. He sighed and gave the boy a slight pat on the shoulder, to which the singer flinched under.

"You'll get through this Shindou-san." he said, then left. Shuichi fell to his knees, tears falling from his violet eyes. That was easy for him to say, "Mr. Almighty God." He could snap his fingers and whatever he wanted was done. He was only Shuichi Shindou. He was a half-rate singer who (according to Yuki) had zero talent and now he had to leave the person he loved most.

The trembling boy walked quietly into the bedroom and crawled under the blankets, sniffling sadly. He didn't get too close to Yuki, since his lover was probably still mad at him. Shuichi had thought maybe being close to the blond would help ease some of the pain he was feeling, but he was wrong; it only made him feel worse. The pain he felt in his stomach was intensely hot until he felt warm arms wrap around him. He gasped softly and then, it all broke apart and he began to cry.

"Idiot.." Yuki mumbled affectionately, "What's wrong this time."

"I love you Yuki," Shuichi sobbed softly, "Are.. Are you still mad at me?"

"No, I'm not mad at you brat," Yuki whispered, "Is that why you're crying like this?"

The boy shook his head, burying himself into Yuki's shirt sadly as he trembled.

"Do you... Yuki... do you... love me?" Shuichi asked tearfully. The author blinked. He paused for a long time. Had he ever said it? Had he ever told his little lover that he was loved. No.. but he would fix that. Gently he tilted Shuichi's head up to look at him. He wasn't sure if he could say those three small words, so he decided to shorten it to one.

"Yes," he whispered, before he kissed him sweetly, holding his little lover tightly. Tears rolled down Shuichi's face and continued to do so even after Yuki broke the kiss.

"Now why are you crying?" Yuki asked him, more gently than usual.

"B..Because... that's the first time you've ever admitted that you love me."

"Well," Yuki said, lightly playing with soft pink hair, "Don't expect me to blurt it out all the time like a love-sick schoolgirl."

Shuichi nodded. He didn't care. Yuki loved him, that was all that mattered. He felt Yuki's lips press against his forehead.

"Alright Shu, let me sleep a little longer."

The boy smiled and nodded, sliding off of the bed. He quietly snuck into the kitchen. He remembered his last attempt at making breakfast and decided to keep it simpler this time. He poured cold cereal into a bowl and made coffee. Slowly he took it all into the bedroom.

"Yuki... I made you breakfast.." Shuichi mumbled and saw Yuki wince before opening his eyes. He blinked, surprised there wasn't a mess. He slowly took the bowl in his hands and started to eat the cereal.

"Thanks," he said softly after draining the bowl of milk and starting to sip his coffee. His lover just watched, knowing that after Yuki left today for his meeting he would never get to see him again. He bit his lip, trying desperately not to cry. If Yuki figured it out Seguchi-san would fire Bad Luck.

"You certainly are weepy today," Yuki commented.

"I love you," Shuichi said again, laying his head on Yuki's lap. The blond responded by lightly stroking Shuichi's pink hair.

"I have to go," Yuki said, but Shuichi clung to him.

"Yuki please don't go yet," Shuichi begged.

"What the hell has gotten into you?!"

"Yuki please! I love you!"

Yuki squirmed out of Shuichi's clutches then kissed him.

"You idiot," he said, "Do you think my trying to work means I don't care about you?"

"Please, don't go," Shuichi begged.

"I'll see you tonight."

Shuichi's heart sank and he nodded sadly as Yuki dressed, slipped his shoes on and left. Sadly the younger man began to pack his things to take down to Mika.
