Me: Ok I was listening to music all today and I was listening to a bunch of great songs. I started thinking Yusuke would be a great singer.
Yusuke: I'm just awesome like that.
Me: shut up! Anyways this chapter came from that.
Hiei and Yusuke both had very strong, dominant personalities and because of that often got into arguments. Most were trivial in nature and ended with them snuggled up in bed together. Both were stubborn so the other part of the time it started with a trivial argument that, through pride and stubbornness, escalated to to the point of one of them saying something hurtful and out of line. These arguments usually ended in a different way.
Hiei glared "Oh shut up you idiot!"
Yusuke glared right back "I'm not the idiot stupid!" Both boys had forgotten what had started the argument but neither of them were going to back down.
"Gah! You're so annoying sometimes I don't know why I put up with you!" Hiei shouted
"I'M annoying?! You're the one who gets upset over every little thing and that's not even the worst part! You complain all the time, you're always glaring, you hardly ever talk and when you do your being a dick! You drive me insane! I hate you!" Yusuke shouted back. Hiei's eyes widened and Yusuke automatically wanted to take back the statement but his pride didn't let him "I can't deal with you sometimes! I don't even know why I started dating you in the first place!" Hiei masked his hurt with anger "if that's how you feel then why didn't you say so! I didn't want to be in this relationship in the first place!" He turned and stomped out of the house. Yusuke sighed and collapsed in his bed tired. "I can't believe that just happened... Did I really just break up with Hiei?"
Hiei's POV
I went to the only place I knew I could go, to Yukina. She smiled at me when I walked into the temple "Brother!" She said happily hugging me. I hugged her back tiredly "Mind if I stay here?" I asked and she pulled back "Why? Did Yusuke do something?" She asked and since I wasn't in the mood to explain I just said "Yeah... I really don't want to talk about it." She smiled at me sadly and nodded "Alright brother. Come on you can stay in one of the extra rooms." I got into the room and collapsed into the bed. Memories of the argument flashed through my mind. "I hate you!" I closed my eyes tightly trying to block out the noises. "I don't even know why I started dating you in the first place!" I covered my ears with my hands. I felt sick and I just wanted the Yusuke in my head to shut up. I didn't know why he would have said that. He said he cared about me. My chest hurt and so did my head. I closed my eyes and buried my head into the pillow. 'He made you weak. You knew that.' Stupid voices in my head I just wanted to sleep 'You let him get close and just like everyone else he hurt you.' I felt tears spring to my eyes but I didn't let them fall. 'I guess you aren't completely innocent either... What did you say? I didn't want to be in this relationship in the first place?' I growled and grabbed my sword. There was only one way I knew of to get that damn voice to shut up. I pulled the sword out and pressed the sharp blade against my wrist. I felt my self start to calm down as I bled. I made several cuts each deeper than the last. Finally that stupid voice shut up. I wrapped my wrist and laid down. The blood loss made me tired and I fell asleep relatively quickly.
(Time skip! 3 weeks later. Summer vacation and the guys are getting together at Genkai's.)
Yusuke's POV
I haven't seen Hiei since the argument. I felt so bad. All those awful things I said... I already knew about Hiei's self-esteem issues so he probably believed I meant it. I felt like throwing up but I got up an got dressed. Today was the day Kuwabara and Kurama got back for the summer. Hiei would probably be there so I could apologize and make sure he knew it wasn't true. I hated the thought of him actually believing those words. I met up with the guys at the train station and we started towards Genkai's.
They knew something was wrong but we hadn't talked since the whole party at Genkai's. Finally Kurama asked "Yusuke... Are you feeling alright?" I sighed "Yeah... I'm fine just..." I didn't know how to say it. I couldn't just come out and say 'I've been dating Hiei for awhile but never told you. I was a total dick to him and now I'm guilty.' I'm pretty sure Kuwabara was homophobic. We finally made it to Genkai's and we walked in. Kuwabara automatically went to search for Yukina so Kurama and I followed. We saw her walk into the garden and we followed. She saw us and smiled but it was obvious she had just been crying. Kuwabara immediately ran up to her and grabbed her hands "Yukina, my love, what's wrong?!" She smiled "Oh it's nothing Kazuma. It's good to see you again, I missed you." He blushed and started trying to flirt so I went back inside. I sighed as more of my friends started to show up including Keiko and her new boyfriend. I avoided her like the plague. Hiei never showed. As the party started dying down and most people left it was just me, Yukina, Kurama, Kuwabara, Keiko, and Genkai. That's when it happened. Hiei walked down the stairs and I felt waves of guilt crash down on me when I saw what he looked like. He had gotten thinner if that was even possible, his eyes had dark circles under them from lack of sleep, he was sickly pale, and worst of all his red eyes were dull and tired. I knew I had to make it up to him but how? I looked around and saw the karaoke machine. I nodded 'I have a plan.' While Hiei was distracted talking to a worried Kurama and Kuwabara I grabbed the microphone and got on the stage. I cleared my throat to get everyone's attention. I took a deep breathe a giving Hiei an apologetic smile a hit the button to start the music.
"I guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before like how much you wanted anyone but me
Said you'd never come back but here you are again."
Hiei tilted his head. He knew I was singing to him cause I was looking straight at him. Keiko though, being the crazy person she is, thought I was singing to her.
"Because we belong together now yeah
Forever united here somehow yeah
You've got a piece of me and honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you"
He blushed slightly
"Baby I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Baby I was wrong for trying to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way I found out I'm nothing without you."
He looked at me with those beautiful red eyes and I smiled
"Because we belong together now yeah
Forever united here somehow yeah
You've got a piece of me and honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you"
Keiko looked on the verge of tears she was so happy. I didn't pay attention though, this song wasn't for her.
"Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you but I can't let you go
yeah yeah"
I saw that spark fill his eyes again
"Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you..."
I finished the song not really caring about anyone else in the room
"I'm so sorry..." I said. Keiko started walking towards me and opened her mouth to say something but Hiei used his speed and was suddenly on the stage.
I didn't know what to expect. Suddenly he shoved me down on the ground "You bastard!" He shouted collapsing in my lap. He clenched my shirt in his fists. "Dick... Fucker... I hate you..." His head stayed down so I couldn't see his facial expression. I ignore the others "I'm sorry Hiei..." I said cautiously wrapping my arms around his waist. He suddenly leaned forward and kissed me. I closed my eyes automatically kissing back. "I hate you..." He mumbled against my mouth and I smiled "I know." He pulled back and punched me in the shoulder "I can't decide whether I should stab you or kiss you again." He said and I gave him a grin "I vote kissing." He rolled his eyes and kissed me again. After he pulled back again I remembered we were with the others. "U-U-Urameshi?!" Kuwabara stuttered and Hiei smirked "I think you have some explaining to do Yusuke." I sighed "Fuck..."
After getting everyone to sit down I started my explanation. Kurama only seemed slightly shocked. He smiled "I'm happy for the two of you." He said. Yukina giggled and hugged Hiei "I'm glad you're feeling better brother." Kuwabara freaked out again "B-Brother?!" He passed out and Hiei smirked. Keiko was glaring daggers at Hiei "Yusuke... How could you do this to me?" She asked bursting into to tears. I rolled my eyes "You cheated on me Keiko... I had all the right to move on." Hiei wrapped his arms around my waist nuzzling against my neck. Keiko ran out of the temple. Probably back to her boyfriend. Hiei tugged on my arm "I'm tired..." He said and I smiled "Alright." I said picking him up bridal style. He struggled and I grinned "Bye Kurama see you tomorrow!" I shouted over Hiei's yelling.
We finally made it back to my house. Hiei stared at me for a minute after I set him down. "What?" I asked and he glared "Hn." He grunted and climbed into bed. I frowned knowing he was still mad. "Hiei...?" I asked and he ignored me. I sighed "Hiei you should change into something more comfortable..." I said and he sat up. I climbed into bed next to him as he pulled of his shirt. My eyes widened. Don't get me wrong, he still took my breathe away and he was still amazingly beautiful but... There were jagged cuts on his wrist. I grabbed his hand to get another look and even though he tried to pull away I managed to check. Yep definitely 7 healing cuts on his wrist. I looked at his face but his head was down. His shoulders shook and I saw three beautiful black jewels fall onto his lap. 'God he's crying...' I yanked him into a hug. "Hiei..." I said and after getting no response I pulled back just a little and using the hand that was holding him against me I grabbed his chin and made him look at me. "Hiei..." I said softly and he sniffled. I kissed him. Once on the mouth once on each cheek and after he closed his eyes once on each eyelid. I lifted his cut up wrist to my mouth and kissed each cut. After releasing his hand I kissed all over his face and neck. He smiled a little and buried his head against my chest. "Yusuke..." He said warmly. I shivered 'God I love the sound of his voice.' Finally I just laid down and held him close. It felt perfect, having him against me, like two puzzle pieces finally getting put back together. I had missed everything about him. The way he smirked, ate, slept, talked, hugged me, kissed me... He yawned and cuddled closer "G'night..." He murmured. I don't know what possessed me to say it but "Hiei... I swear I will never ever hate you."
Yusuke: Why am I always the Dick?!
Me: Cause I love Hiei and I don't want to make him the dick so... Yeah
Hiei: *Smirk*
