It's Been a While.
Shuichi tried his best to convince himself what he was doing was completely innocent. He told himself over and over again that there was no way he would ever be with Yuki again. There was no way in Hell. Not after he finally got over the heartache and pain their four year relationship had caused.
He climbed into Yukis all too familiar Mercedes, and did his best to keep from looking at the stone cold novelist. They didn't speak one word the whole car ride. Yuki was in his own world, thinking what he could possibly say to his former flame, while Shuichi lectured himself.
What the hell am I doing?! The whole reason I left Japan was because of Yuki, and here I am in his car, on the way to his house! Shuichis eyes widened when he caught sight of Yukis apartment building. It was the very same on they had shared before the break up. It was strange considering they never seemed to stay in one place for very long.
"You're still living here?"
"Yeah." Yuki pulled the cigarette butt from between his lips and flicked it out of his window. "And don't be surprised to see not much has changed since you left."
To say he was surprised would be an understatement. Nothing had changed. It was almost as if Shuichi had never left at all.
"Wow .. you weren't kidding."
"You thought I would lie? Anyway, go sit down, I'll get you something to drink." Shuichi nodded, and watched as Yuki made his way into the kitchen. He then turned and walked into the living room. He took his seat on the old couch and smiled. He had spent quite a few nights on this couch back in the day. Whenever Yuki had one of his mood swings.
"Hope beer's okay." Before he could answer, the cold can was tossed into his lap. He instantly jumped up, sending a dangerous glare Yukis way.
"Dammit! What the hell!" Yuki looked to him and innocent smile on his face.
"Sorry. Didn't mean that." He plopped down next to the seat Shuichi had taken, and patted it. Shuichis whining instantly stopped, and his cheeks burned a bright red as he once again took his seat.
"Yeah .. sure."
They sat in an uncomfortable and long silence. Without Hiro around to be an ice breaker, they both felt stuck. Shuichis eyes wondered around their old apartment, while Yukis remained on him.
See, nothing's going to happen. This is really completely innocent. I shouldn't even tell Rage. She'll get crazy worried over something that isn't any- He froze, feeling Yukis hand on his knee.
"You know, I still don't understand why you left." Their eyes met, and it took all of Shuichis strength not to tremble under Yukis intense stare.
"I uh-"
"I thought I had changed. I thought I was treating you better. I wasn't yelling at you .. I wasn't calling you names .."
"A-and you d-did."
"Well then, what was it?" The cold can fell slipped from Shuichis fingers, his body shaking slightly as Yukis hand slid further up his thigh.
"It's over and done, why does it matter now?"
"Yeah, that's just fine and good for you, but what about me?" Shuichi slid off of the couch, heading for the door. "Where the hell are you going?"
"I can't take this. It took a long time to get over you and I don't want to do this-" Yukis fingers tightened around his wrist, and then he was forced against the door. He kept his eyes on Yukis chest. He wouldn't look into those eyes again.
"And like I said, What about me?" Shuichi said nothing, and it made Yuki even more upset that he wouldn't even look at him. Yukis fingers brushed over Shuichis cheek, and once again he found himself shaking.
"Stop .." Yukis thumb traced over Shuichis incredibly soft bottom lip. "Please .. Yuki .." His fingers slid further, cupping Shuichis chin. Their faces inched closer and just before their lips met Shuichi was able to come back to his senses.
"I'm with someone." Yuki opened his eyes, finally locking with Shuichis. "That girl Rage .."
"Yeah right. You couldn't stand her."
"Things change." He turned, wrapping his fingers around the doorknob. "I'm over you. I don't need you like I did back then."
"Shuichi I-" Shuichi closed his eyes, pushing open the door.
"Just leave me alone." He was sure to give the door a good slam on his way out, leaving Yuki completely stunned.
