Chapter 10

Yuki walked into his house. It was so quiet, far too quiet for the author's liking. Where was the usual annoying sound in his ear? Slowly Yuki walked into the kitchen for some water. It was now that he first began to feel concerned. Sitting on the counter was Shuichi's key. The blond picked it up and looked at it.

That idiot," He thought, He forgot his key again.

Yuki set it back down but his hand brushed against a note on the table. He picked it up to read it.

I love you Yuki

Shuichi

The blond just rolled his eyes. Shuichi was such a little romantic. He folded the scrap of paper and shoved it into his pocket. He sat down with a strong drink and turned on some light music. Time wore on slowly, but Shuichi didn't come home.

"Where the hell is that brat?" Yuki muttered, "He should have been home hours ago..."

The blond suddenly froze. The image of his little lover sobbing in his arms, pleading for him to stay home, came to Yuki and stuck there. The keys on the counter, the note on the table. Yuki found that he was beginning to have difficulty swallowing as he walked into the bedroom and looked around. He then went through the entire apartment, but it was all gone. All of Shuichi's clothes, his papers and songs, his Nittle Grasper stuff; it was all gone!

The blond author sat down completely stunned. The little brat had moved out! He hadn't even said anything! He just... left. Yuki couldn't think straight. What the hell had happened? Yuki flopped back down on the couch and began to think carefully.

There's no way that Shuichi would move out... Half the time if I want some peace and quiet I have to throw him out...He's so... clingy. So... why'd the brat up and leave without saying anything? If his junk were here I'd think he'd been kidnapped or something... It's been known to happen after all, but... it's all gone so where the hell is he!

Yuki was brought immediately out of his thoughts by a soft knock on the door. Of course he thought that it must be Shuichi and his fears began to subside as he stood up. He heard the door open.

"Eiri?" a soft voice of his brother-in-law called to him. Yuki's eyes widened.

Seguchi... Seguchi made him leave!

He walked over to Tohma who only looked concerned and caring as always. Yuki glared.

"You certainly have some courage for coming here tonight after what you've done."

"Eiri..."

Tohma's expression went from concerned to shocked as he felt Yuki's hand come in contact with his face in a fierce, angry, slap. A small red mark flushed over Tohma's skin and his mouth just hung open to stunned to say anything at all. Yuki grabbed him angrily, ruffling his crisp dry-clean only shirt.

"Where is he damnit!" Yuki yelled. Tohma got over his shock, lightly touching the spot on his cheek that was still slightly pink from being struck. If it had been anyone other Eiri they'd have been done for, but the blond just smiled softly.

"Eiri, you know that this is what's best for you; it's what's best for Shindou-san as well."

"How so?" Yuki asked bitterly, infuriated by Tohma's smug little smile that he always had plastered on his face.

"He'll finally be able to get over the irrational thinking that you actually love him," Tohma said reasonably, "That is what you want isn't Eiri? You did tell me once that you wished he would realize that he doesn't really mean anything to you."

"SHUT UP! I... I never said that.." Yuki said, "TELL ME WHERE HE IS NOW YOU BASTARD!"

Yuki's thoughts spun. Did I ever say that about Shuichi? I didn't mean it, I swear to god I didn't mean it. Damnit why is life so complicated!

"I don't know," Tohma said simply, though it was a lie, "Did you ever consider maybe I have nothing to do with it?"

"Stop lying! He wouldn't leave! I know it's your fault bastard! He was crying all morning because of you now tell me where he is damnit!"

Tohma smiled and shrugged simply saying, "Who knows?"

And with that the suave older man left.

"Damnit Tohma I didn't say you could go!" Yuki yelled, but the older blond had already left. The author sat down. He hadn't gotten this worked up in a very long time. Perhaps he should just calm down. Shuichi had never been able to leave him alone for long. Surely he'd come back.

Tohma walked home. Since he had finally gotten Shuichi away from Eiri he was now permitted in his house again. He picked up the phone and dialed the number for Shuichi's new apartment.

"H..Hello?" Shuichi mumbled from the other end, obviously having been crying.

"Good evening Shindou-san, how are you feeling?" Tohma asked in a friendly tone.

"Like you care," Shuichi muttered, "What do you want Seguchi-san?"

"I want you to take a week or two off, consider it a vacation," Tohma said.

"B...But.." Shuichi stuttered, "If I do that we'll have to delay our new single!"

"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of that Shindou-san, I realize you're probably not up to singing right now anyway."

"I.. I guess..."

"Excellent, goodbye," Tohma said, hanging up. Well that take cares of Eiri trying to meet up with Shuichi at work for a while. By the time he comes back Eiri will have calmed down... hopefully, otherwise I guess it's back to Ryuichi's apartment for me.

Tohma sighed softly. No, he was definitely not going back to Ryuichi's house.

End Chapter 10

A/N: And all of you mean Tohma-haters are probably all like "Yay! Yuki smacked Tohma he deserved that!" You're all so mean! Poor Tohma. If anyone has any sympathy for Tohma then stab his wife with a spork again (So I can have him!). Or you know, you could whack Tohma with a spoon, but don't kill Tohma! Because remember: IT'S STILL ALL MIKA'S FAULT! XD Anyway, I hope you enjoyed chapter 10.
