Chapter 8

Disclaimer: I am poor as a church mouse and own nothing including these characters.

The next morning came with a thump, and an "oh shit", Suguru had fallen out of bed. Hiro looked in the floor at the adorable lump rubbing his head and reached his hand over the edge of the bed and said, "come here sweet one and I will kiss it well." So Sug climbed up in the bed and snuggled into the arms of his lover. They lay in bed and snuggled for a long time and then Hiro remember about Shuichi and decided to get up.

"Where are you going?"

"I thought I better check on Shu."

"That's a good idea, I'll help." and Suguru got out of be to go check on his band mate.

Luckily Shu was still asleep and snoring up a storm. Hiro laughed and said, "this reminds me of the old days when we slept over, Shu can out do a freight train. Gee whiz, get up Shu!!!"

There was a mumble and a squirm and the figure under the covers just snuggled down more in them.

"You sure you didn't give him too much?" asked Suguru

"I am sure, but he should be waking up soon though."

Hiro took a running jump on the pile in the floor and began to wrestle it up. The pile of covers just began to laugh and scream, "Get off me you idiot!"

"When you get up and have some coffee I will."

"Okay, I'm, up." And he sat up. As soon as he sat up his mind remembered what he had seen the night before and began to tear up.

"No, you are not going to cry over that asshole so stop it right now!" exclaimed Hiro.

"But Hiro I know something must have happened because Yuki wouldn't do me like that."

"That's not what you said last night."

"I know but I have had a good night sleep and I am convinced that Tohoma did something to him and it is his entire fault."

"What are you going to do then?"

"I am going to call Yuki and ask him the truth." said Shu.

"And will he tell the truth…I doubt it."

"At least I want to hear what he has to say for himself."

"Okay, I will leave you alone and you can call and find out what you want or at least what he wants you to know." He got up and grabbed Suguru in a hug and left the room with breakfast in mind and a side order of tasty Sugar. Man how he was beginning to love his life.

After he left Shuichi took out his phone turned it on and it rung. He answered it. "Hello Yuki." He answered very glum. "What do you want?" he continued.

"Oh my sweet boy I have tried to call you all night and you had your phone off. I am so glad you turned it back on. I am so sorry. What you saw was just Tohoma trying to break us up. I could kill that son of a bitch. Do you believe me?"

"I don't know. I guess so because I know Tohoma."

"Oh, where are you? Will you come back home? I will come and get you if you will and I promise I will never do anything mean again."

Of course, Shu knew that was a lie but Yuki believed it for now and he wanted to believe it, too. So he told Yuki how to come and get him and he hung up and went out to find Hiro scrambling eggs with Suguru's arms around him.

"Well?"

"I am going home."

"You are stupid Shu." Hiro said.

"I know but I love him too much to be apart. I guess I have enough love for the both of us."

"That's just silly," said Suguru.

"Guess so but I can't help it he is my life, my reason to live so I guess I will take what he offers and let it be enough."

"Well, Good luck. You want some eggs before you go?"

"Guess I got time for some eggs." He sat down and there was a screech at the front of the building. "Guess not." He laughed so hard. "Yuki must be more apologetic than I though, see you guys later." And with that he ran out the door and to the sleek car waiting for him. He got in and Yuki grabbed him up in a hug he thought would put him in the hospital.

"Oh, Shu, I am so glad to have you in my arms again. I missed you so. I am so sorry for everything that happened. I am an ass I know but you got to forgive me or I will die. Come back home?"

"Yes, my love, I will come home with you."

Yuki began kissing Shu all over his face and only stopped to say how happy he was. Finally he reached a point he thought he was ready and turned to drive the car but he kept one hand on Shu's and caressed it as they went.

He looked over at Shu and said,"I love you Shu, will you marry me now?"

"Guess I am going to have to before Tohoma steals you away."

"The gods would have to make that one happen because I am never speaking to him again except to give him that black eye I promised him."

"You were going to give him a black eye for me?"

"You bet. You are the one I love and he better not get in the way."

Shu snuggled up to Yuki and said. "I love you and yes, I will marry you."
