AN) So here it is this chapter is mediocre at best. At most there are only five chapters left to this story. All the really bad stuff is about to go down. I fell bad for Shuichi I'm going to do horrible things to him and he's already been through so much.
Shuichi woke first the next morning. He pulled on one of Eiri's shirts as he made his way to the kitchen to get breakfast. The sound of the doorbell caught his attention and he dashed to the front door throwing it open, before the bell could be sounded again. Eiri was never happy in the morning even when he woke of his own accord. When an outside factor did the waking it was ten times worse.
Tatsuha stood posed to ring the bell again. He had frozen when the door had been flung open. He looked at Shuichi nervously.
"M-morning Tatsuha." Shuichi managed turning a bright shade of red. He'd just barely remembered what Tatsuha had seen the night before.
"Oh um hi. I just came to get my stuff." He said, trying to keep his cool.
"Okay" Shuichi stepped to the side and stared at the ground as the other teen rummaged for his stuff. Shuichi walked quietly into the living room and stared at the floor.
"You're not leaving because of me are you?" the singer asked softly. Tatsuha looked at him.
"No granted that was quite the shock. My train home leaves today." Shuichi still looked uncertain.
"Actually I'm glad you're here Bro seems to be doing much better. He's eating and sleeping more regularly. Not to mention he actually let me stay here this time. Before he always made me go to Mika's." Tatsuha stated stuffing his clothes into a backpack.
"Then our relationship doesn't bother you?" Shuichi asked surprised.
"Do you have short term memory loss? The first thing I tried to do when I got here was grope you. Of course," Tatsuha said smirking and approaching the other teen, "now that I know you and my Bro do it maybe you could let me have a little feel? I know you think I look like him so just pretend."
Before Tatsuha could grab the singer and arm slithered around Shuichi's waist and Tatsuha felt a fist connect with the top of his head.
"If you ever touch him I'll hunt you down and cut your dick off myself." Eiri growled.
"Come on can't we share him Bro?" Tatsuha whined.
"Go get your own singer." Eiri said pulling Shuichi close.
"I would but Tohma won't let me near Sakama-san! Say Shuichi since you work at NG if you ever score Nittle Grasper tickets bring me with you." Tatsuha cried bowing no his knees to Shuichi.
"Yeah sure thing Tatsuha." Shuichi could feel Eiri groping him and blushed. He tried to bat the hands away but he was being held to firmly.
"Well that's all my stuff." Tatsuha said tuning to face his brother. Eiri was currently to busy nibbling the back of Shuichi's neck to take any notice of his younger sibling. Tatsuha made his way to the door trying not to look.
Shuichi heard the door open and before Tatsuha had left yelled. "Visit anytime Tatsuha you're always welcome!"
"Like hell he is. Don't just go showing up here anymore or next time I'll have you arrested!" Eiri shouted. The door closed and Eiri turned his attention back to the little singer that was still trapped in his arms.
"What do you say we reclaim our couch?" Eiri said tossing the smaller male on it and pinning him down. Shuichi simply released a small shriek and resigned himself to his fate.
An hour later found Shuichi still laying on the couch and Eiri making coffee. The novelist brought a cup to his lover and sat down next to him on the couch. Shuichi was still completely nude and Eiri loved the view. It was quickly interrupted when the singer's face met his with an angry glare.
"Hmpf, now I'm going to have to take another shower!" He snapped taking his time getting off the sofa and on his feet.
"You don't have to work today?" Eiri checked the clock. Even if the boy did he was already late.
"No K gave us two days off to recuperate from the concert. He didn't seem too happy about it though." Shuichi said heading for the bathroom. Eiri smirked to himself; Tohma was probably the one behind the days off. Hearing the shower start Eiri made his way to his study to work on his novel for awhile. Shuichi took showers that were anywhere from half and hour to and hour. He could get out a few pages in that amount of time.
He'd only been working for about ten minutes when the phone rang. Ignoring it a first he continued to type. Whoever it was though kept hanging up at the machine and calling back. Finally Eiri answered it none to politely.
"Who the fuck are you and what the fuck do you want?" He shouted into the receiver.
"Jeez Bro wouldn't it have been easier to just answer the first time instead of getting all worked up?" Tatsuha snickered.
"For gods sake you where just here what the hell do you want? If you forgot something tough luck you'll just have to do without till you come back." Eiri resumed his typing, not for very long though.
"Well I was just thinking about how you said I couldn't just come to visit. But then I thought what would father do if he were to find out that his perfect son was playing husband to some boy?" Tatsuha was giggling by then.
"You really are a bastard. Well if you're going to blackmail me then at least tell me what you want. And no you're not under any circumstance getting one of my cars." Eiri snapped, he hated anyone having the upper hand on him.
"I just want you to promise that from now on whenever I want to visit I get to stay with you and Shuichi. Our sister is a nut case and her husband isn't much better. He spent the majority of last night telling me that if I breathed a word about your relationship he would have no trouble making me disappear. Eiri chuckled 'that's Tohma for you' he thought.
"Fine whatever just keep your trap shut or I'm sure Tohma really will kill you. He might even do it himself so I'd be on my guard if I were you." Eiri promptly hung up and leaned back in his chair closing his eyes. He cracked one open when he felt small arms wrap around him from behind.
"Who was on the phone?" Shuichi asked laying his head on Eiri's shoulder.
"Just my idiot brother he thought he forgot something but then found it while we were talking." Eiri pulled Shuichi around and sat him on his lap. "Two days off hun I bet we can find something to do for most of that." Eiri said kissing him softly. Shuichi didn't really seem to respond though and when he pulled away he looked at his younger lover.
"Well I thought maybe we could talk a little." He said quietly not looking at the writer.
"About what brat, is something bothering you?" Eiri asked genuinely concerned.
"I was just wandering where you really did get your pen name. I asked Tatsuha and he had no clue. But then I mentioned it to Tohma and he I dunno it was like he." Before Shuichi could finish Eiri's grip had tightened on his arms to the point of pain. Shuichi looked up to tell him but the look on the writers face halted him. He'd never seen Eiri look so mad and it was scaring him. It was very much the same look that Tohma had gotten when he brought it up.
"It's none of your damn business. Did Tohma tell you anything?" Eiri snapped shaking Shuichi when he didn't get an immediate answer. "Did he?"
"No no Eiri-san he just said I should ask you." Tears were forming in Shuichi's eyes.
"It doesn't matter so just let it go okay! Get out of here I need to get some work done." Eiri said pushing Shuichi away and turning to his computer. The singer stayed stationary next to him for several minutes before he ran from the room closing the door behind him.
Eiri stayed in his study all day and the majority of the night. He hadn't heard a word from the singer and was beginning to feel guilty for what he'd done. Opening the door he made his way to the bedroom expecting to find Shuichi peacefully sleeping in bed. There was no one there the bed was made, which must have been the singers work, but Shuichi wasn't there. Turning he went into the living room to find Shuichi curled up on the couch he was shivering slightly in his sleep. As Eiri looked at him he realized that the boy had been crying. He picked him up careful not to wake him and took him back to their bedroom. Even after tucking him in the singer was still shivering from cold. Eiri had intended to go finish working on his novel but instead crawled in next to the boy. He pulled him close and wrapped his arms around him to warm him.
"I'm sorry Eiri." The small voice of the singer whispered.
"You have nothing to apologize for brat I shouldn't have reacted the way I did." Eiri replied stroking the teen's hair.
"It's just I want to now about you Eiri." Shuichi's eyes were pleading with his in the dark.
"Why none of it matters so just drop it okay? There's no point in talking about things that are gone and done with." Eiri was trying his best not to get angry. He released the singer and rolled over on his stomach facing away. He could feel Shuichi shift on the bed eyes glued to him. It was silent for a long time before Eiri felt the bed shift again and heard a small sigh from the vocalist.
"Tell me who attacked you at your parent's house." Eiri stated.
"What?" Shuichi asked surprise evident in his voice. Eiri pushed himself up and leaned over Shuichi a hand on either side of his head.
"You heard me tell me his name, tell me what he's done to you, everything." Shuichi stared up at him horrified.
"This isn't about me it's about you." He said quietly.
"No it's about 'us' if there are things you wont share with me then it's only right that I too have the same privilege. So who was it?" Eiri was counting on Shuichi not being able to tell, and the look in his eyes said that he wasn't going to.
"That's what I thought; until you're ready to talk don't ask me again." God he didn't mean that to sound like such a threat. Turning away from the teen again he laid back down it was early morning before he fell asleep. Shuichi stayed on his side of the bed the whole night he didn't sleep at all.
Eiri slept until a little passed one the next day. He was on his way to the kitchen when he caught sight of Shuichi pulling his shoes on and getting ready to go out.
"Hey brat where are you going?" Eiri asked hoping everything would just go back to normal if he pretended.
"Work" Shuichi said softly standing up.
"I thought you had today off too?" Eiri asked coming closer.
"I did but Tohma called and said he had some papers that need my signature as soon as possible."
"But not today I'm sure so why are you going?"
"I don't have anything better to do." Shuichi replied and left. Eiri was a little more than ticked off that the two of them were fighting but he sure as hell wasn't going to be the one to give in. He stomped to his office after making coffee and locked the door. He could play this game ten times better then Shuichi could even imagine.
Shuichi took his time getting to NG and then made his way up to the studio. He found K and Sakano pouring over charts and graphs.
"Yes?" K said not looking up from his work.
'What are you guys doing?" Shuichi asked coming over to take a look. Sakano had jumped at the sound of his voice and then proceeded to go lie on the couch he was obviously hallucinating. K watched glad he'd asked Tohma to install the sofa. Sakano was reduced to laying on the couch and mumbling something about 'Never able to get him here on time this is some cruel joke.'
K cleared his throat and turned back to Shuichi. "What's wrong Shuichi?" The singer looked like he was having one of the worst days of his life.
"Nothing Seguchi-san just called and said there were some papers I needed to sign as soon as I could."
"So you came in on your day off? What happened with Yuki-san?" K asked there was obviously something up.
"Just a bit of a fight I wanted to get away for a while so I came here." Shuichi knew it was no use lying to his manager the American could see right through him.
"As long as you work it out I suppose. I do have some good news for you though. I was going to wait and tell the whole band at once but since you're having a bad day I'll enlighten you. Bad Luck has a gig and it's opening for Nittle Grasper." K said grinning. Now all he had to do was wait for the fan boy squeal.
"You better not be screwing with me!" Shuichi had suddenly become as scary as a pink haired man could get, and taken his manager by his shirt.
"You're already over half way to the million sales mark and after this there's no way in hell we won't beat it." K stated happily.
"Wait, so you mean I'll be on the same stage as Sakuma-san! No! There's no way I'll die!" Needless to say that wasn't the reaction K was expecting. He never thought the idea of singing with his idol would scare Shuichi.
"Well it's mostly Tohma's idea so if it bothers you that much you were headed to talk to him anyway. You'd be missing out on the chance of a lifetime Shuichi, at least think about it." Shuichi nodded as he headed out and up to the presidents office.
When he reached the top floor he found that Tohma's secretary had gone to lunch. He went up to the office door and knocked, as soon as he had though the door opened. Shuichi pushed the door open and stuck his head in to find the office empty, Tohma was apparently away for lunch as well. Shuichi decided to just go ahead and wait inside the office since he had nothing better to do. He was halfway to the small couch in the office when someone shouted.
"Who's there?"
Shuichi froze whipping around but finding no one, he continued to scan the office but didn't see anyone.
"Who's there!" The voice shouted again. This time Shuichi could tell the general direction it was coming from. He looked at Tohma's desk but there was no one there, it was definitely where the voice had come from though. He decided it was probably best he answered.
"Um it's me Shindou." He said waiting for something to happen. Suddenly a pink bunny popped up from under the desk. Shuichi was frozen to the spot he had no clue what was going on.
"What do you want with Tohma!" The bunny asked.
"Well he called me and, is this some kind of joke, are you trying to scare me Seguchi?" Shuichi asked coming closer to the desk.
"Stop!" The voice shouted. Shuichi obeyed and stopped about four feet from the desk, he still couldn't see behind it though.
"Why did Tohma call you?"
"He said there were papers I needed to sign so here I am." Shuichi said. He tried to look under the desk from the front but it was to close to the ground.
"Papers papers papers." The voice mumbled and the bunny disappeared behind the desk again. He could hear rummaging through drawers.
"What did you say your name was again?" the bunny asked popping up again.
"It's Shuichi Shindou sir." He was beginning to get irritated with this charade.
"Whaaa! Shuichi from Bad Luck Shuichi?" The voice cried. The bunny was now being waved around wildly. Before Shuichi knew what was going on someone had leapt over the desk and tackled him to the floor.
"You are him you are him! Wow I was at your concert it was so great! I wanted to go help you when you didn't sing but Tohma was mean and stopped me. That's ok though because I asked and Tohma said that you could sing with us!" Ryuichi Sakuma continued to talk but Shuichi didn't hear any of it. He was to busy staring at his idol to realize he was being talked to.
"Hey are you ok? You don't look very shiny I know lets color!" Ryuichi jumped back over Tohma's desk getting paper and crayons that the keyboardist kept for him. When he turned back around he saw that Shuichi had burst into tears.
"What did Ryu do? I know you're sad because I didn't introduce you to Kumagoro. I'm sorry I forgot please don't hate me. Here you can hold him I don't mind." Ryuichi said handing the bunny to Shuichi. He just began to cry harder causing Ryuichi to begin crying right along with him.
"I leave my office for ten minutes and you manage to cause this much trouble Ryuichi." Tohma said. He made his way over to the two crying singers.
