I'm going to try this chapter a little bit different. Let me know what you think. Oh and warning it will be short only because it's the end of this mini series I have going. Well let's not hold you in suspense

Chapter Fifteen

The last part of my song ended with the crowd surrounding me, screaming our names and how much they loved us. I enjoyed singing for everyone since it meant hearing all their happy voices. I smiled and waved. "Thank you everyone for coming out! We enjoyed singing with all you." I turned around and instantly my smile faded. I haven't been myself since I was shot over two months ago.

After we vanished backstage, Hiro helped me into the dressing room. "Still not full of energy I see," he commented, handing me a bottle of water.

I shook my head. "Yuki's been helping me recover, but it just doesn't feel the same. I get scared every time I hear a loud bang. I mean Yuki dropped a pot, rare for him, but he did drop it, and I jumped almost out the balcony window, thinking I'm getting shot at. I don't know what's going on. K-san used to shoot his gun all the time and I didn't freak like this."

Hiro put his arms around my shoulders. "Don't worry. I believe you'll be back to your normal self in no time. I mean even the reviews are getting better. You went from the Playing Hurt Boy to Ever Lovable Shuichi again. People are starting to love you more and more. Don't let this fear get to you. Did you manage to go through all those get well cards yet?"

I reached for the brush and started to comb my hair. I was tired of it being so messy all the time. "No not yet. When I get home lately, I usually just fall asleep. It's hard to keep my energy going."

"Do you think it's also because of what those scientists did to you?"

"No, Mindy assured me that she healed that. Plus I got a secret get well card from them. She thanks us again and said that Lily and her were living happily in Hawaii. She also apologized for still causing me trouble."

"Did you answer her?"

"Yeah I told her not to worry so much because it missed every vital organ. She wanted to come to Japan and heal me, but I told her not to risk it. I recovered slowly, but at least it was naturally." I got up and grabbed my jacket.

"You want me to walk you home?" Hiro asked also grabbing his jacket.

"No I think I can manage on my own. Plus I saw Yuki out there. He's probably waiting for me."

"Is he worried about something happening to you?"

"I think he might be, but he doesn't really say anything. See you tomorrow, Hiro."

"See you tomorrow, Shuichi." I walked out of the dressing room and outside. Just as I thought, Yuki was waiting by his car. I moved through the crowd of people asking for an autograph and reporters asking me questions. I quickly declined the questions and signed only a few autographs. I couldn't put a smile back on my face only because I was growing more tired by the second and I just wanted to go home.

Eventually, I made it to Yuki's car which he let me in before getting into the driver's seat. "You're looking pale."

"That old fear of crowds is coming back. I think maybe I should take a break from singing. Maybe it was too soon to get back into the swing of things."

Yuki glanced at me for a second before looking back at the road. "I think singing is a way to get you back to normal. You just have to start to let things go. You're too emotional sometimes. And what was with that fake smile during the whole concert?"

I moaned. Of course he would notice me faking it. It was like Ryuichi. He could spot whenever I wasn't serious about singing. Was I that readable? "I'm tired today."

"You were the one that asked K for that gig."

"I know. I feel like I'm letting everyone down."

"You are."

I looked over at him shocked that he would say something like that. "What?"

"By letting these things bother you, you are not letting yourself recover and you're letting everyone walk all over you. Get a grip and go back to the way you were. You were the one that stepped on anyone and everyone in order to get to the top."

I smiled at him and leaned over the middle of the car so I could nuzzle his neck. "You're the best. I'll make you a promise. I'll do my next concert like I normally do if you can say those famous three words."

"You have zero talent."

"That's four, Yuki!"

Yuki smirked and turned into the parking lot to his apartment building. He leaned in and kissed me. "I love you," he said softly.

I was drowning in him again, but oddly enough it felt like I was getting back to normal. "I love you too, Yuki," I whispered, kissing him again.

"Now let's go upstairs. I'm hungry for something creamy and sticky."

I blushed and jumped out of the car quickly. Oh this would be exciting! I ran into the building holding the elevator door open for him. "Hurry up. You're the one with the craving."

I heard him chuckle as he leaned in to kiss me again. The elevator door shut and we began to rise up to his floor. I was so happy. This was the road of recovery.

The End

Sorry! Can't do it this time. Every time I tried to add another sex scene it didn't work so great. I don't want to ruin the end of the story so I'm going to leave it to your imagination. Thank you for sticking with me and reading all of this. Please review
