A Coffee to Reunite

Slouching nonchalantly in his chair, Shou let the warm liquid run down his throat, soothing the annoying thirst in his stomach.

"It's been a while since I've drank one of these." Shou thought, gesturing to the large mug clutched in his lightly tanned hands.

"I have no idea how you can stand that kind of drink." Suguru commented raising an eyebrow and looking oddly at his companion's beverage.

"But it's my favorite drink." Replied Shou with wide eyes glancing down at his strawberry and cream Frappechino (copyright Starbucks XD) and causing the keyboardist to roll his eyes in an exasperated manner.

"So what brings you back to Japan Shou? I thought you were going to be permantly staying in America?" Suguru inquired.

"Just some things went wrong in the planning and my mum decided she didn't want to live there," came the muffled reply from behind the huge cup, "personally I like America, it's really cool, but it is good to be back home where I belong." Shou grinned whilst placing his drink on the small table they were sat at. Stretching his arms upwards and causing a small popping sound from his back, it was then that Suguru took in the others appearance.

Big 50's style white framed sunglasses obscured Sugu's view of Shou' eyes. A black t-shirt with a skull and cross bone design on the front. For his bottom half Shou wore black baggy jeans trailing to the bottom of his slip on black and white checkered vans. Small silver chains trailing down the side of his leg, with a white belt complete with round studs hung loosely at his hips. Just below his elbow a white and black-checkered sweatband was situated while on his wrist was a black wristband with three rows of spikes.

'Shou sure likes his checkers,' Thought Suguru, as around Shou's neck was a black and white checkered bandana trailing down his front giving of a V triangle effect. Whilst his hair had turned back to his original black seeing as the last time the keyboardist ever saw the other was when he had decided to experiment ending up with mostly violent red hair with electric blue streaks. Now it was shorter then it used to be and was spiked up. To be honest, Sugu thought he looked very…very nice.

"Hey…? Earth to green haired martian?" A rather expectant-sounding voice flitted through Suguru's thoughts, whilst Shou was clicking his fingers softly in front of his face. What a surprise, he'd drifted off into his thoughts again.

"Don't call me that." Suguru groaned at the others choice of nickname.

"Okay, okay." Surrendered Shou. "Well anyways back to the matter at hand anyway, how's things with Hiro and Shu-chan?"

"Hiro to be honest is the only sane person to talk to ... and that's kinda not helpful. Shu ... is either a nutcase or not talking." Replied the one nicknamed 'Martian.' Why did everyone have to point out his hair color anyway?

"Shu-chan... hmm... I worry about the little guy, I mean, Hiro can handle anything you can throw at him really, but Shuichi..." Shou trailed off, concern evident in his voice, brows furrowed slightly.

"I know, I know. Something's up… I think... I mean I was trying to talk to him after class and he ran away, for a little guy he can run really fast. Then I lost him because you came and jumped on me." Suguru emphasized this by pointing a finger at Shou to show it probably was his fault.

"Ack! Sorry about that! But you wouldn't have even noticed me if I hadn't jumped on you!" Defended Shou, taken aback a little at this sudden verbal abuse.

"You were in a tree! How the hell would I see you?!" Exclaimed Suguru.

"... Well... well... well maybe next time I'll drop an anvil on you from the tree huh?"

"Or you could just tap me on the shoulder like a normal person?"

"Pffffft tapping is for wimps and snobs" Shou rolled his eyes with this statement.

"And jumping out of trees is for the mentally challenged." The keyboardist shot back.

"Ah I give up!" Waving is arms about seeing as he was losing in this conversation.

"You giving up? Oh my God it must be the end of an Era!"

"Pfft as if! I meant... I'm just saving my sparkling wit for another time..." Shou paused "... or something..."

"Code for 'I give up cause I've just been blown out.'" Grinned Suguru triumphantly.

"...mm... ah! EHH? No! Never! Nope"

"Yeah sure." Sighed Sugu.

"Grrrr" Shou mock growled. "So ANYWAY…Ahh! Kuso! Oitoma, I got a drum lesson at 5:00 and it's on the other side of town." Shou explained whilst frantically downing the rest of his drink and standing up. "Well, nice seeing you again Sugu-chan!" With this he ruffled the other boys hair and ran off, chains jingling around his legs loudly.

"Don't ever do that AGAIN!" Yelled the green-haired boy, putting his hair back in some sort of normal shape as he watched the other disappear round a street corner with an ironic salute in Suguru's general direction. The keyboardist laughed and shook his head fondly.

Flashback

The room was starting getting more crowded by people by the minute. The dancing bodies, music blaring from the speakers and drinks being served all round.

Oh yes, not another high school party.

Feeling slightly claustrophobic Suguru made his way through the dancing bodies until he made his was into the living room, which was currently being used as a dance off area. Everyone pressed up against the walls to make sure there was enough room for the dancers. Suguru had to be honest these guys were good but he really didn't have much of an interest as he made his way around the room wanting to escape into the kitchen. Walking through the door he was unaware of a certain pair of eyes on him.

Sighing deeply Suguru made it into the kitchen, which was quite deserted apart from one or two people either on their own or connected at the lips with someone. Finding a glass the highschooler switched on the tap letting cool clear water be gathered up before taking a sip. Still standing at the sink looking out the window he let his eyes slide closed as he leant on the basin in front, taking in the sounds and smells that hung in the air. Although not being able to notice someone creeping up behind him. Slowly and gracefully the figure snaked his arms around the frame in front wrapping themselves around his middle. Gasping Suguru placed the glass on the side as he slipped forward a touch, the arms around his waist tightening.

"Whoa there." The unknown figure whispered. Head leaning on the juncture between the green haired boy's neck and shoulder. "It's just me." You could just hear the smile in his voice and Suguru didn't dare open his eyes but leant back into the embrace.

"How are you doing then?" The voice whispered again his lips barely touching the sensitive skin of Suguru's neck making a shiver run down the shorter boy's frame. Just about to answer the question the other pressed his lips against the smooth curve. Letting them glide up to the ear,

"Never mind ignore that." With that Suguru's head lolled to the side resting on the others shoulder. Once again the one holding Suguru attached his lips to the others neck earning a gasp from him.

"Shou..." Suguru protested, the fear of someone seeing them overpowering his mind.

"Don't worry no one is here. Even if they were they would be too pissed off their heads to realize what's going on." Shou laughed gently.

"Nnnnngh..." Suguru groaned.

"I'm leaving this week." Shou sighed leaning his cheek on Suguru's shoulder, his breath tickling the younger boy's neck.

"I know." Suguru sighed resignedly, his eyes opening then closing half way to look on the floor.

"Hey." Smiling sadly Shou unhooked one arm bringing a finger up to the youngers chin, gently forcing the other to look at him. Turning his head from the contact, Suguru kept his eyes downcast.

"Sugu-chan..." pouted Shou, making the other to actually look at him, taking his attention off the floor. "Look at me."

"You'll find someone better who'll treat you right." Whispered Shou, "But hey, we still have tonight...and the next few days. Let's make them the best before I leave."

The year before they left school for good and Shou's dad was shipping him off to some oppressive school in America to concentrate on his studies. His dad was also suspicious about Shou's relationships too.

"I know but..." Suguru sighed again.

"I know it'll be hard but we can still be friends." Shou reasoned unwrapping his arms to turn Suguru round, his back pressing against the sink. People kept walking in and out not really paying attention to the two stood against each other near the sink or the fact they were both male. Also, as Shou said, they were all too drunk to realize.

"Maybe we can work things out if we meet again… wait no, when we meet again."

Suguru was a bit confused about the changed train of thought, before he had chance to question; Shou had moved closer capturing Sugu's lips with his own.

Suguru moaned tilting his head backwards obligingly as Shou reached for his hands intertwining their fingers. Their eyes locked on each other until Sugu couldn't keep them open any longer and let them slide closed as he felt...

End of flashback

Sighing, Sugu stood up after finishing his drink getting ready to leave.

'I wonder if we'll ever start talking about what happened again.' Thought Sugu realizing ever since Shou actually left he's being feeling insecure, too busy with all his self-inflicted work to forget the feeling of loneliness. Wandering out of the cafe Sugu made his way home his head buzzing with thoughts.

Author's notes: The outfit Shou was wearing is actually a Baek Kyoung outfit. So I don't own the idea even though I would like to xD (a very amazingly cool friend of mine suggested it.) The red hair and blue streaks was …for some strange reason…

Yah ok I forgot if shou was younger or older but ... I've decided Suguru is younger now xD

'Oitoma' – informal slang for 'I gotta go now!'
