Saving Shu-Chan
I do not own this anime, no matter how much I want to. I have no copy rights to the characters either; otherwise the story line might be weirder.

Hiro's tongue explored the younger man's mouth, but it seemed as if Shuichi was doing nothing to stop him. He was taking them all in. Shu-chan was returning the kiss. It seemed to shock Hiro. If anything he had expected to be pushed away and told never to do it again, but this was encouraging to Hiro. His heart pounded faster in his chest. Slowly pulling away, Hiro looked up to see the smiling face of Shuichi. He stuttered, "Wh….what…was that?"
Shuichi smiled, "I should ask you that, but in reality, I want to know what took you so long?" Shuichi smiled with passion and love in his eyes. Was it true? Did the younger man love him too? How Hiro's ears longed to hear it was true.
"I love you Shu-chan. I always have." The red head blushed and bit his lower lip praying that this was no joke.
"I know." A hand raised his chin to meet the eyes of his band mate, "I love you too." The guitarist clung to Shuichi and felt his heart beating. He didn't want to let him go. Not now, not ever. Hiro had become even more afraid. The pink haired man was sick. He could not afford to loose him now. Not now that he knew how he felt, truly felt.
Hiro started to let a tear fall from his eye when Shuichi lifted his face again and asked in his wispy and weak voice, "What's wrong Hiro-kun?" Shuichi was still looking at him with love and tenderness in his eyes.
"Shuichi……you're sick." He rested his head against Shuichi's shoulder and sobbed…"You have cancer. It's not fair. Not now that I really know how you feel. I can't loose you." Hiro hugged his new found lover even closer and sobbed for a few moments more before deciding that it was helping no one.
When he looked up, Shuichi was still smiling. "I know…I've battled it before. It will take longer to go into remission this time, but if you're here, I can do it." Shuichi seemed to be holding Hiro tighter now, like he needed him, but also like he was offering some form of comfort to Hiro. Hiro didn't want to be comforted, he wanted to comfort. Now was not the time to ask Shu-chan about why he never told him, but it was the time to give him hope and strength. To give him something he could hold onto. Hiro had Shuichi and no way was he letting him go, but he did have one question.
"Shuichi, how do we tell Yuki?" Shuichi giggled.
"I told you that it was over between the two of us. I was not kidding and if he wants to try and make everything alright, he has someone to compete against. Someone who is better than him in more than one way."
Hiro felt like everything they were saying were right out of a crazy soap opera. Like everything they were doing was acting and like it was all about the drama. He knew this to be untrue, but still felt like some of the things they said were a little over the top. He laughed. "We are like a soap opera pairing." Shuichi laughed with him. They both needed the humor. It was a form of release and it eased the situation. Everything would be okay and Hiro and Shuichi were together. "Shu-chan, I've always dreamt about this day, but I never thought it would happened. Shuichi nodded and was about to respond when Eiri barged in.
"Shuichi! Are you okay? What did he do to you?" Eiri looked disheveled and like he had thrown any old thing on, matching or not. He had really come down here in that much of a hurry? Why should he be worried?
Shuichi responded bluntly, "He did nothing, but help me out. Why are you here…? I want you gone. I have no reason for you to be here. Go." his words were forceful and shocked both Hiro and Eiri. In his eyes hatred burned and Hiro could tell how angry he was about the whole thing. He still wanted Eiri, he could see that too, but was willing to give him up for Hiro and it was because he loved him. He felt loved in that moment and made a promise to himself in that moment: he would never hurt his partner. Never.
Eiri looked taken aback, but left anyways without saying anything. It was truly over. The love of his life had found someone else and truly no longer needed or wanted him there. It was weird. Never in his life had Eiri been turned away. Eiri had always been the dumping or telling people off. It wounded him and his pride all at the same time.
Hiro leaned forward and kissed Shuichi again. "I love you." Their tongues explored each other's mouth and he could feel the warmth coming off Shuichi. He felt weaker and smaller under him, but Shuichi's grip on Hiro was strong and firm. There was no doubt about it. The pink haired man wanted Hiro. He loved Hiro too. Their tongues wrestled for a little while longer before Shuichi pulled away.
"I love you too, Hiro-kun."

Wow, finally posted. I wonder when I will update my other stories.
I offer thanks to all who commented and all who added this story to their watch list. I know that this is not one of my better ones, but I was doing this for a friend. I think I will do ONE more chapter after this and then call 'Finished."
If you have any complaints, tell me. I might listen. Also, any ideas for another story, or if you want me to write you a fan-fic, let me know.
Au Revoir.
