Ok so, I was reading a story by someone…. Can't remember who but I just loved the names, so I'm stealing one. Shhhhh You didn't hear that from me! (Joking, I know who it was. Yaminoko-Jeichan was the one who thought of the name first)
Also, sorry for late updates, this is basically being written at school during a 40-minute lunchtime.
Finally, happy to introduce my first ever story that is over 1,500 words without authors notes and what not!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravitation in any shape or form. Also, I have no evidence to prove that Tohma and Mika had a baby boy (My mind just went the wrong direction when I gave them a little girl.)
Shuichi sat, staring out the window of his best friends apartment. "Na, Hiro" he said finally.
"What?" the maroon haired boy said from across the room, plucking at the guitar.
"I can't figure him out. I mean, we have been together for a while now, but I'm lost! I beg him for a kid, but he always says no; that there is no way he will ever have a kid in there" he turned his head to look at his confused friend.
"I think there is a difference here. Toya is his nephew, not his son."
"…" Shuichi stared at him blankly.
"When Yuki gets mad at the kid," he sighed, "he can just send the kid back to their parents. But if you two have a kid he can't send it away."
Shuichi's violet eyes seemed to grow at the cruel words. Looking back out the window, he tried to stop the tears.
Hiro did have a point. With how often Eiri kicked out Shuichi for being annoying, having a kid around would drive him mad.
Looking at his friend carefully, he decided it was time to change the subject. "So have you told him?" Shuichi's head snapped back as fast s light. "Have you told Yuki about the dreams yet?"
Pink hair flying around he tried to form a reply. "I'm almost scared to. But I think I understand what Suguru was saying he other day." Sliding, he sat on the floor under the window that had held his attention for a time now.
"So you don't think anything will happen to Yuki like that…" he was cut off by the sound of one of their songs, "In the Moonlight", playing threw the room.
Taking out his phone, Shuichi sighed. "Yes Yuki?" he said holding it to his ear.
"Coming home tonight?" the voice on the other end said coldly.
"Hiro and I are just trying to get a song written so w can record it tomorrow. I'll be home soon though…"
"…" No reply.
"Yuki…? Are you there?"
"I don't know what to feed his kid. He wont stop yelling for food." Shuichi could almost hear his lover blushing.
"Give him one of my pops and a candy bar; I'll be right home" he hung up the as he stood. "I have to go help him. I'll keep writing this when I get home," he said gathering the pile of papers.
"Right, see you tomorrow. Try not to wake up too late, so K doesn't have to go looking for you" Hiro laughed.
"I will" he grabbed his bag, and darted out of the apartment. "Bye!"
K nodded in approval the next day, as Shuichi walked out of the recording booth. "How was that?" the singer beamed.
"You are getting better" K laughed.
"Shindo, do you mind if I tweak the music for it a bit more? You might end up having to record it again, but it kind of reminds me of "Blind Game Again"." Suguru asked, looking over the music sheets in his hands.
"Feel free," he said, grabbing a bottle of water. Chugging threw half the bottle he paused as the door flew open.
"Shuichi," the male voice said stepping into the light. Before the teen could even set down the bottle, he noticed something flying at him. Puzzled, he stared at the shape as it slowly took shape: blond hair and pale skin… a boy?
Eyes going wide, he was hit full force being pushed back onto the ground. Looking at the boy, he realized exactly who it was. "What the hell Yuki?" he exclaimed, crate ling the boy.
"I have no idea how to deal with the brat."
"Then you shouldn't have agreed to take Toya!"
Everyone stared at Eiri as he stood in the door way with a dumb look on his face. In the silence of the room, a soft whimper could be heard. Looking down, he noticed he small boy crying, tears dripping on his shirt.
"Toya… what's wrong?" Shuichi whispered.
"I…I want m-my Mommy…" the small boy continued to cry.
"Yuki, could you at least take him to see his Mother? I promise I will watch him tonight."
"…"
"Please."
"Fine. But I warn you now, if you aren't home by 4 to take this brat off my hands, you wont be able to get in" he said as he tuned to leave.
Looking over at the clock, the violet eyes noticed the current time: 1:43. So I just have to be home in 3 hours he thought looking down. "Wait, Yuki! You forgot Toya!"
Shuichi ran up the stairs, racing the clock. He tried his hardest to make it back on time, but now he was afraid. How was I supposed to know there would be a traffic accident on my daily route home! I hope Yuki will understand… What the hell am I thinking! He speed up, taking two steps at a time now.
Fifth floor, finally! He pushed threw, running the final stretch to the door. Gasping for air, he reached out to the knob. Slowly he turned it, just to find out it was locked.
He froze like a statue. Was he really that late? Pulling out his cell phone, he checked the time. He still had three minutes! "Yuki, open up! I'm on time," he yelled, pounding on the door. After a few seconds of no reply, he dug in his pocket for the door's key he had finally earned. Placing it in the lock, he was happy when he heard the clicking sound.
Proud of himself, he began laughing. Turning the knob again, he pushed on the door. It didn't budge. Pushing on it, he screamed in frustration. Yuki must be laughing on the other side, that heartless basterd! He thought, taking a seat across from the door.
Leaning his head against the wall, he looked at the white ceiling. After a few minutes, he turned his attention to the phone in his hand. Scrolling threw his contact list; he arrived a Yuki's name. Hitting the send button, he held it to his ear.
After a set of rings he hung up. He began banging his head against the wall forcing tears to gather in his eyes.
Not a second later, he heard a door open. "Yuki!" He shouted looking to see it wasn't the door to his apartment that had opened, but the next one over. "Oh, Ms. Shako! Glad to see you are doing better" he smiled, eyeing the elderly woman.
"Shuichi, why are you out in the hallway?" her calm voice asked, concern very active.
"Yuki locked all the locks, but only gave me a key to one" the singer began laughing at his situation to make it seem less painful.
"Oh, poor dear" the white haired woman reached behind her. Shuichi could hear the clinking of metal as he eyed her. "Here," she said holding out a bronze key.
His eyes went wide at the sight. "Is that…" he stood, walking over to her.
"Eiri gave it to me sometime ago, incase I needed anything" she gave a gentle, warm smile at the teen.
"Thank you very much," he said taking the key and bowing. Walking back words, he arrived at the door. Placing the key in the lock, he seemed to glow at the sound of the clinking of the lock going into the rested position.
"Better Hun?" she asked with a smile.
Nodding, Shuichi ran the key back over to her.
"Lets just say it's my way of thanking you for saving me a trip downstairs while I was ill" she said putting the key back.
"Any time you-" he was cut off by the sound of her phone ringing.
"I have to get that, sorry."
"If you need anything, don't hesitate to call" he said waving, as he ran back to his door.
Once inside he looked around. All the lights were off telling him Eiri wasn't even home. "Where did he go?" he pondered, taking his shoes off.
Looking around, he noticed something else. All of Toya's stuff was gone as well. As he kept walking, he noticed the blinking light on the answering machine. Pushing the gray button, he waited for the message to start.
"Mr. Yuki, this is June Totoyami. I'm just calling to make sure you are going o be able to make for our date tomorrow. It you can't, please call me back soon. I have set the reservations for the normal place, at 11:30am. I'll see you then, and please remember to bring all your documents with you."
"Next message" the dull generic voice said.
"Mr. Yuki, I'm calling with a curtsey call from Star Point Resort. This is just to confirm your stay from the 16th till the 20th of April. If this has changed in anyways, please call us back immediately. Thank you, and have a nice day."
Shuichi stood there, stunned. He… He is going off with some girl tomorrow… But tomorrow is my. His thoughts were cut short at the sound of a key being placed n the lock.
"I thought I locked that…" Eiri said as he stepped in, scratching his head. Looking up, he noticed his lover was still standing in the hallway. "How did you get in…?"
Shuichi turned to face him, violet eyes taking over his face as tears poured out. "How could you?" he yelled running past the writer.
"What…" Eiri yelled, turning but missing the teen as he ran by. "What did I do this time?" he pondered, walking deeper into the apartment.
"Would you like to delete?" The generic voice repeated. Confused, Eiri selected the option to repeat the messages.
His eyes went wide as he heard the two messages. "Shuichi…" he whispered, as he reached for the phone. After a second, he held it to his ea and waited.
"Hello?" the voice on the other end asked.
"Nakano, it's Yuki. Keep an eye out for Shuichi, he's probably on his way to your place as we speak."
"What did you do to him this time?"
Ignoring the sarcasm in he others voice, Eiri sighed. "He heard some messages on the answering machine that he shouldn't have. And one of them was from Totoyami."
"Great, this will be a fun night."
"He also heard the one about the resort," he said sitting down on the couch.
Blahahaha, don't you love me? I'm going t leave you hanging for another whole week!! ^_^
I didn't get a far as I wanted to in this chapter, but it will work. I mean, this keyboard I'm on is awful – It reads like every other letter.
But! Look forward to next weeks update, when you find out who June Totoyami (I come up with weird names at 3am o.O) is, and find out what Eiri's hue secret is!
Yes, I know it is obvious what the ending will be, but I'm sure no one knows who June is or her part. But hey, take a guess it you want!
My question is, why did Eiri warn Hiro that Shuichi was likely on his way to the guitarist place? Why would Eiri even call him . (It's sad when he writer doesn't know why – lol)
