The second part. I'm not sure why I wrote this since there is no reviews... Ah, well. It doesn't matter.

Warnings: Spelling and grammar; mostly grammar. I have problems with past and present tense and a lot of other stuff so please ignore.

For the past two weeks, Shindou Shuichi left non-stop messages on Uesugi Tatsuha's answering machine. After the third day of the singer calling, Tatsuha came to rely on the calls. They always came at 5:30 PM, an hour after Shuichi got off of work and about the time Tatsuha's dinner began. Tatsuha doesn't know what the pink-haired man did in the hour between but if it has anything to do with the calls, then Tatsuha is sure he doesn't want to know. At least, part of him is.

"Tats, listen. I know you told him that you agreed but I know you didn't. Since Ryuichi told me I haven't been able to think about anything else and believe me, my songs reflect this. Have you heard "Do You" with me and Hiro? What do you think that song is about? I'll give you one guess? Well? ANK! WRONG! It isn't about me and Eiri, but you and Ryuichi. Seriously, Tatsuha, call me!"

"HEY! YOU THERE, TATS? Aw, c'mon man! I know you're there. You're eating, right? Stop chewing and start answering! I really, really need to talk to you! And I know you know what it's about. So, call me!"

"Tatsuha, must we play this game over and over? You haven't even called him and didn't you two promise to still be friends? Yes, I know; it works both ways but did you honestly expect him to call? He's hurting, you know. You are too, right? That's why you're not answering, right? Think about this, Tatsuha. Call me."

"Uesugi Tatsuha!! If you don't answer this damn phone in the next five seconds, I'm going to be very, very mad at you! One... Two... Three... Four... FIVE! ARGH! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG...! You know what, FINE! YOU WIN! I will quit calling. Who cares that you're losing the love of your life? Who cares that you're bleeding inside? WHO FUCKING CARES?!"

'What am I doing? We both agreed to this, so why am I trying again?' Tatsuha sighed as he leaned against the brick wall of his brother's apartment building. He had pushed the doorbell five minutes ago and when Eiri answered, his brother told him to wait. 'I really must be stupid.' Pushing away from the wall, Tatsuha began pace in front of the main door. "If no one comes down in three minutes, I'm gone. Why did I come here anyway? Why didn't I go to his apartment?"

The thought of the apartment they had shared until a month ago brought pains through his heart. Tatsuha remembered clearly the many pillow fights, the bubble baths shared, the food fights in the kitchen when they decided to cook instead of order out, and... and the bedroom. The place they shared many moments in: sappy, sloppy kisses, intense tongue wars, completion of becoming one with each other.

Tatsuha quit pacing. "No. We agreed on this. We did. It's for the best. It really is."

When Shuichi ran around the street corner to the shared apartment he had with Eiri, five minutes later with his hand tightly around Sakuma Ryuichi's, there was no one by the main entrance.

Ryuichi blinked. "Shu?"

Shuichi nibbled on his bottom lip. "Yeah?"

"Why am I here?"

"To become one again."

"I don't get it," Ryuichi answered, letting go of his friend's hand to stretch his arms. "What do you mean?"

Shuichi sighed, raking a hand through his tangled hair, "You would have got it, Ryu. You really would have."

The song mentioned by Shuichi is "Do You" by Ne-Yo. The one I have in mind is the remix with Utada Hikaru.

There.

Obviously a third part is in works.

Thanks to all that read. Even if you don't review, I will always love you.
