Title: Yuki's Revelation

Yuki busily typed away in his office, enjoying the peace and quiet that the place was providing. Completely unaware of what was really going on the other side of the closed door. When he was finally working on the last chapter, he decided to take a little brake and get something to drink as well see what his pink-haired lover was up to, for he knows a quiet Shuichi equals problem or something he'd rather not deal with at all. After saving the drafts, he then grabbed his cigarette and light one up as he then made his way out of his office only to be met by complete darkness. Trying to adjust his eyes to the sudden darkness, he then went to switch on the light.

He didn't notice anything amiss as he threaded towards the kitchen. Once he grabbed a can of beer off the fridge, he then made his way to the living room thinking Shuichi may have fallen asleep on the couch. Not bothering to turn on the lights as there was the light illuminating from the outside, even though there was a storm brewing outside. He was surprised when he saw no body on the couch that he then made his way to the bedroom. Finding the bed empty, he took a long hard look around the room that he then noticed that the room seems emptier, like there were some things missing in the room.

It didn't take him long to realize that it was Shuichi's things that were missing from where they once were placed. Walking quickly to the closet that they shared, he noticed that the other half of the closet was empty where Shuichi's clothes should be. Alarmed as he doesn't recall anything that may cause for the brat to leave and bring allhis clothes. Yuki ran around the condo looking for Shuichi's things, but it was to no avail. Not one thing that belonged to the pop star was in sight. It was like Shuichi was never in the condo to begin with.

Realization hit him like a ton of bricks at the idea that the one person who fought tooth and nail to be with him, to love him unconditionally, has finally left him like he had told him so many times before. He shut off the lights as he made his way to the couch, slumped down and sliding all the way to the floor. Taking a swig of the beer as he started to reminisce the past as another flash brightened the sky outside…

Broken hearts and last goodbyes
Restless nights
But lullabies helps make this pain go away
I realize I let you down
Told you that I'd be around
I'm building up the strength just to say

A clear night sky as Yuki held Shuichi into his arms and kissed him under the moonlight. Sensing the passion from that one simple kiss escalate as they laid on the floor, unable to go to the room as they touched and kiss, holding onto each other as they passionately made love to each other. Yuki allowed himself to smile a sincere genuine smile as he starred at his lover.

I'm Sorry
For breaking all the promises that I wasn't around to keep
It's all me,
This time is the last time that I'll ever beg you to stay
But your already on your way

Shuichi stood on the balcony looking at the beautiful scene in front of him. Yuki came out of his room to be met with a breath taking sight of his young lover just standing there barefoot, only wearing a silk short matched with a long sleeved button-up silk shirt. After just standing there watching the sight before him that he silently walked up behind the young singer, careful that he would not be noticed by the other. Gently wrapping his arms around the slim waist as he kissed the juncture between hiss lover's neck and shoulder, surprised was the singer as he quickly turned around giving easy access for the novelist to capture those soft luscious lips with his own. Under starry sky and the illuminating lights of the city that the two kissed passionately.

Filled with sorrow, filled with pain
Knowing that I am to blame
For leaving your heart out in the rain
And I know your gonna walk away
And leave me with the price to pay
Before you go I wanted to say

Taking another swig from his drink that he then slowly turned his head facing the door towards his office where so many nights had kept him away from his love. Finally admitting how importantShuichi is to him by losing the singer. He knew these feelings signifies the high price that he had to pay as he lost the one he loved to fear, denial and most of all to pride. He was to proud of himself to admit that was actually losing the ice around his frigid heart, allowing to beat once more for the one person who went through hardships and more for him.

I'm Sorry
For breaking all the promises that I wasn't around to keep
It's all me,
This time is the last time that I'll ever beg you to standing
But your already on your way

"YUKIII!! TADAIMA!!" Shuichi yelled in his usual voice as he barged into Yuki's office. Not slowing down as he went to hug and kiss his precious Yuki. Showing that bright smile carved on his face. "Are you ready Yuki?"
"Ready for what brat?" was Yuki's reply as he continued to work on his novel.
The smile faltering a bit, feeling that this would be another broken promise, just like the rest of the other promise the blonde novelist had made with Shuichi only to brake it in the end right in front of his face without any sympathy nor a trace of guilt at all. Shaking his thoughts away, Shuichi continued to smile and look happy to his blonde lover.
"Remember Yuki, you promised that we would go out for dinner together, remember." Shuichi explained hoping that his Yuki would change and actually keep his promise this time, but it was futile in the end.
"Can't you see I'm busy?" Yuki asked sounding irritated. "I need to finish these last few chapters in time for next week's deadline."
"But-" Shuichi tried to argue but was cut short by Yuki's next words.
"Next time alright brat." Yuki said in a tone that meant no arguing. "But if you're that eager, why don't you call Nakano and you two just go out and eat." He added in.
Shuichi stayed silent as his head hung low, not saying a word as he tried to conceal the tears making their way on his face. Turning to walk out of the room in a sluggish manner, failing to catch the short glance that was directed his way as he closed to door behind him.

Can't make it alive on my own
But if you have to go,
Then please girl, just leave me alone
'Cause I don't want to see
You and me going our separate ways
I'm begging you to stay
If it isn't too late

As the thoughts fade away at the back of his mind, Yuki finished the remains of his beer before making his way back into his bedroom, it never came to his mind even once before now that the bedroom was never theirs. It was always been since the beginning his bedroom. Lying down on his bed that he was unable to block the nauseating feeling as memories bombarded his thoughts as he closed his eyes. Not bothering to wipe the tears that escaped his eyelids.

I'm Sorry
For breaking all the promises that I wasn't around to keep
It's all me,
This time is the last time that I'll ever beg you to stay
But your already on your way

As the past played out like a broken record over and over, one answer became very clear to him in the end. No matter what happens, he needs to get back his Shuichi back. Follow him through that door…

But your already on your way
