It had already been two months since it happened… since Shuichi had made his decision to leave both the men he had feelings for and returned to Japan. He was upset at first, once he realized that they were passing up a once in a lifetime chance to become famous in the United States. It would have set them up for taking the globe by storm… guilt rode hard on the pink haired singer but his band mates wouldn't allow something else to get the peppy musician down. They told him that it was all right, that they were homesick anyways
Within that two-month span, they had grown even more popular within their home country. Everything seemed to be looking up after that terrible time in the States. Even Shuichi's spirits were picking up and he seemed genuinely happy. He no longer pulled his inspiration from lovers that come and go, he picked it out of just the things around him that made him feel worth something.
It was on the day that they were getting ready to tour the country after the release of their new album. Everyone was excited, even Sakano seemed to be looking on the more positive side of things. The lead singer and main writer of the lyrics had decided at a point that he needed a breath of fresh air. Leaving the studio and stepping into the lobby, his thoughts were full of what ifs and a possible happy future. He'd learned so much in so little amount of time, Shuichi was positive he probably didn't even look the same-
Thoughts were cut off as he bumped into someone who was walking in the opposite direction of him. The boy's books were dropped to the ground, and when he glanced up at him, he couldn't see the face past the hat that covered his head.
"I'm sorry! I really need to watch where I'm going!" Shuichi laughed nervously as he helped pick up the books that he held, straightening up he offered them to the stranger he'd bumped into. But once he saw that pair of light blue eyes, he nearly dropped them again. He felt the blood run cold in his veins, saw his hand shaking in surprise and shock.
"… I'm sorry. It just took so long… for me to bring my parents around… you know?" The musician barely comprehended the words, he was just too happy on actually being able to hear it again, slowly Shuichi shook his head and took the smaller male's hand, leading him toward an empty conference room and closing the door behind them.
"Why Rin? Why are you here…?" He had put down the books he held, and made Rin drop his own so that he could hold onto those slim and perfect little hands. Their eyes locked. After so long… after all that resolve. A small smile turned up at the corners of those sweet little lips. Shuichi felt such intense happiness on getting to see that smile again.
"I needed you Shu. I guess I got pretty dependent on you…. Umm… I talked to your writer. He's okay now. The guy is in jail. No bail, so no one can get him out…. So he's safe… umm…. I talked to Hiro. Before I came… so I know your reasons but… will you please… forget them…?" Tears started to pour from those pale eyes, striking down the fair skin unattended.
Those tears took away the last of Shuichi's resolve to keep to the promise he made in that hospital. That promise that he wouldn't allow himself to break and run back to Rin and beg for forgiveness. But then again… he hadn't been expecting Rin to come to him and beg him to take him back. It was so unreal.
The pink-haired singer took his old lover into his arms, holding him tightly, his own tears falling from his eyes, he was laughing while he cried. "Of course Rin…. I'd do anything for you. I love you… so much…. Thank you… thank you for forgiving me!"
Rin smiled, closing his eyes as silent tears of happiness slipped past them. He gripped his lover's shirt tightly, not wanting to let go. "No… thank you." He murmured softly, so glad that everything had returned the way it was supposed to be.

Can I be bricked now:3 Heh. I was bored in the school computer lab and I decided to actually listen to the fact that quite a few of you were going "omg that can't be the end." Heh :D So here's a more satisfying ending right? Kitazawa's in jail, so Eiri's free of his reign. Shuichi and Rin are together happily. It's a happy ending I wasn't really planning but hey, I put these guys through enough angst. Why not a little bit of happiness:)
Now for a sequel, I might be able to pull one out. But it might prove a little difficult. I don't want to be unoriginal and I also don't want to make a boring sequel that really sucks xD So I'll think about it. This might be the true ending, might not. Keep an eye on my work, you might find something new in the Gravitation section.
Okay and finally, Kingdom Hearts is god. XD. If any of you readers like the pairing of Axel and Roxas you seriously should check out my story Another Life and my drabble. :)
