Mizu: Me got it done! Yay! Second chapter to my first crossover is done! *happy dance* Disclaimer time! I don't own Gravitation or Junjou Romantica. If I did…Actually, I probably wouldn't change a thing with them. Guess I'd just be an extremely happy person if I did.
Just Coincidence:
Chapter two: My Cousin's First Love.
"Thanks for letting me borrow some clothes, Misaki-kun," Shuichi said happily as he walked down the stairs for the second time that day.
"N-No problem, Shindou-san!" Misaki beamed from the kitchen, "Is there anything else I can get you?"
"Hm…Nope!" Shuichi smiled, walking into the kitchen, "I must say I'm surprised to hear that Aki has a lover."
"H-He told you?" Misaki gasped.
"Yeah," Shuichi sighed, still smiling.
"I-I don't know why everyone thinks that Usagi-san is such a bad guy. He's always been really nice to me and would never do anything to hurt me," Misaki pouted, trying to keep his focus on their supper.
"Usagi-san?" Shuichi exclaimed, busting out in laughter, "What a perfect name for Aki!"
"H-Huh?" Misaki gaped.
"Sorry. I didn't think anyone other than me would ever call him something other than his real name," Shuichi explained, "He must really love you if he lets you call him that."
"What are you talking about? I've always called him Usagi-san. Ever since the first day I met him," Misaki stated defiantly.
"Ah, then you're a weird one," Shuichi chuckled.
"What?" Misaki gasped.
"Just kidding," Shuichi gently laughed.
When he stopped laughing, Misaki turned to face the pop star. He had slid down onto the floor, legs brought up to his chest with his arms draped over them. His chin rested on top of said arms as he stared in Misaki's direction. Misaki's breath caught in his throat. Never had he even imagined for the singing to have such a look. A look a extreme happiness for another yet loneliness and longing for what the other possessed.
"You're right. Aki is a wonderful person. He's always been kind to everyone. No matter what, he tries his best. Even if most don't understand him, he still stands tall and manages to face the day no matter what the rising sun brings to us," Shuichi said, still staring at Misaki, "But it's because of those people that Aki had to set up a barrier to keep everyone out. No one understood him. They tried to force things upon him."
"Wh-what are you talking about, Shindou-san?" Misaki stuttered, "Are you implying that I'm trying to force Usagi-san into something?"
"No," Shuichi said, a sad smile still present on his lips, "What I'm saying is that's why everyone thinks Aki is a coldhearted bastard when he's not. They never tried to understand him. But…"
Shuichi smiled warmly at Misaki, causing the slightly younger man to blush a bit, "But you did. You probably don't know much about his past but you don't care, right? You only care about the Aki that's right here and now. And that's good cause that means you actually know the true Aki."
"Shindou-san," Misaki whispered.
"I'm jealous of you, you know?" Shuichi said, burying his face into his arms and legs.
"What?" Misaki asked, slowly walking over the pop star.
"You don't care about his past or money or anything like that. The only thing that you care about is that you love him with all your heart and would do anything for him," Shuichi muttered.
"But isn't that how you feel for Yuki-san?" Misaki questioned, sitting next to Shuichi on the floor, "Don't you love him that much too?"
"Yeah," Shuichi sighed, "But you have a man that tells you willingly that he loves you. He's not afraid of showing it. Yuki never tells me anything he's feeling…"
"Surely that's not tru-" Misaki started to say.
"It is," Shuichi said, shoulders slightly shaking, "You want to know a secret, Misaki-kun?"
"S-Sure…" Misaki mumbled.
"Truth be told, Yuki and I have been together at least three years or so," Shuichi said, finally looking up to reveal his tears.
"But then why did it say first anniversary on the calendar?" Misaki asked.
"Because that day, a year ago, was the first time Yuki ever told me anything even close to love," Shuichi stated, the sad smile returning to his face once more, "He told me that he needed me and didn't want me to go anymore. That he wanted me to stay with him.
"That's why, at least to me, that day should have been our first anniversary," Shuichi sniffled, "Cause it was the first time he ever said anything to me other than me being a convenient hole to fuck."
"Eh?" Misaki gaped at the use of words, "S-surely you don't mean that-"
"I do. Yuki even told me so himself once. That I was just a hole for him to fuck whenever his desire got too much to bare," Shuichi whimpered, "Guess I was a real idiot for deciding to stay with him even after he told me that…"
"B-But surely after that time he told you he needed you, he started to say lovey-dovey things to you, right?" Misaki asked, not believing his ears.
"No. That was the only time in the past year that he's ever said anything like that," Shuichi said, trying to ignore the tears that kept running down his cheeks, "I know that I'm an annoying, stupid, hyper, jumpy, clingy, crybaby all of the time. I can see how he can get frustrated with me. It's just…I've never thought that I was a bad person for how I act until recently."
Shuichi stared straight into Misaki's eyes, "I'm not a bad person for doing what I did, am I?"
Misaki was stunned for a second, caught staring into the singer's deep violet eyes. Then, after snapping himself out of his trance, the brunette quickly wrapped his arms around the distressed singing.
"You're not a bad person, Shindou-san," Misaki comforted, "In fact, I think that you're a great person."
"…Shuichi."
"Hm?"
"Call me Shuichi," Shuichi said, slowly pulling away from Misaki, "Anyways, my point is that you shouldn't take for granted that Aki tells you he loves you all of the time. You don't know how good you have it till it's gone."
With that Shuichi headed back into the living area to collapse on one of the couches. But before he let himself fall into the tempting cushions, he looked back at Misaki with the saddest look yet.
"By the way, Misaki-kun," Shuichi said, ignoring the fact that Akihiko was at the top of the stairs, "I'm not a great person. I'm a horrible, terrible, dreadful person that really shouldn't plague this world anymore with his existence."
That said, Shuichi plopped face first into the couch and let his fatigued heart, mind, and body fall into the welcoming embrace of oblivion.
"Wh-What?" Misaki gasped, once he realized what the singing had said.
Akihiko slowly made his way over to his cousin with a blanket. He slowly covered the pink haired man's body and stuffed a miniature Suzuki-chan into his arms. After slowly petting the vocalist's pink hair for a few seconds, the novelist made his way over to his stunned lover.
"He still hasn't totally gotten over her. She still haunts him every waking moment," Akihiko stated, leaning on a counter.
"Usagi-san," Misaki whispered, "Who's "she"?"
Akihiko sighed, "His first love and…fiancé…"
"What do you mean Shuichi isn't here?" K snapped at the blonde novelist.
"That he isn't here!" Yuki snapped back, trying to shut his front door, "He's staying at his fuckin' crazy cousin's place!"
"Why's he there?" another man, one looking much like Shuichi asked.
"Cause a damn idiot for making such a big deal over something so stupid as an anniversary!" Yuki shouted at the near perfect clone.
"You forgot your anniversary!" K shouted, "Well, it's no wonder that the boy's pissed at you!"
"What you say!" Yuki demanded.
"You're the freakin' idiot!" K snapped, pointing his magnum at the writer, "You know better than any of us that that idiot thinks that those things are important to him!"
"It's just a fuckin' date on the calendar!" Yuki shouted as loud as he could, batting the gun out of his face, "Now get out of here before you draw the fuckin' media's attention!" "Wh-Where is his cousin's place?" the other man sniffled, squeezing onto a pink bunny.
Yuki glared at the men at his door, "If I give you the damn address, will you leave me the fuck alone?"
"Of course," K spat.
Yuki quickly scribbled out the address of the man that he now completely hated on some random piece of paper that he found on the side table, "Here!" The other man took it and looked it over before he flipped it over. Yuki watched as tears started to fill those damn deep eyes.
"Yuki is such a mean person!" the man screamed as he ran, with the paper in hand, away from Yuki's place of residence.
K glared at the man, "Now look what you've done. First you almost totally ruin Shuichi emotionally thanks to you coldness and now you made Ryuichi cry! Are you going to set fire to Hiro's guitars and music next?"
"Whatever," Yuki scoffed, ready to shut the door on the gun happy American.
"Mark my words, Yuki Eiri!" K shouted at the blonde man, "If you don't at least attempt to change how you act, Shuichi won't be coming back to you. Even he isn't so stupid to stay with a man that really doesn't own the emotion that makes us human!"
With that the manager of Bad Luck stomped off to catch the wailing Ryuichi, leaving Yuki to his thoughts. The novelist slowly shut his door. He leaned against it with his back as he slid down to the floor, placing his head in his hand.
"You don't think I know that already?" Yuki sighed.
"Open this damn door!" K shouted, pounding Usami Akihiko's door as loudly as possible.
"Shuichi! It's me, Ryuichi!" the older vocalist called out to the door, "Please come out! K is being scary again!"
"What the hell do you want?" Usami Akihiko shouted, throwing the door wide open.
"Huh?" the two other man gaped, "Who are you?"
"I should be asking you that!" Usami snapped at the two.
"Hm?" Ryuichi said, staring straight into Usami's eyes, "Hey, K~! I think this is Shuichi's cousin!"
"Huh? Why do you think that?" K gaped at his former client.
"They have the same eyes~!" Ryuichi cheered.
"That doesn't mean anything!" K snapped at the brunette.
"Shuichi? What do you want with my cousin?" Usami growled.
"You mean you really are his cousin?" K questioned.
"Yeah, what of it?" Usami sighed.
"Where is he? He hasn't been answering his cell and he doesn't have his tracking bunny on him," K stated coolly.
"K-san?" Shuichi's voice called from inside.
"He is here!" Ryuichi cried, forcing his way passed Usami.
"Hey, get back here!" Usami shouted, trying to grab onto the brunette man.
"Shuichi~!" Ryuchi shouted, flinging himself on top of Shuichi's drowsy person.
"Ah! Sakuma-san!" Shuichi gasped, "What are you doing here?" "Hiro told me that you ran from Yuki!" Ryuichi cried, clinging to the pink-haired boy, "So I made K-san help me find you!"
"Finally found you, brat!" K shouted from the doorway, "Let me in, damn it! I'm his manager!"
"I don't care who you are! You aren't coming into my home yelling like that!" Usami shouted quietly, "You'll wake-"
"Usagi-san?" Misaki called from the top of the stairs, "What's going on? What time is it?"
"Misaki! Go back to bed," Usami tried to reassure.
"Sakuma-san, I'm fine. Now please leave. I don't want to burden Aki," Shuichi pled.
"You're not a burden!" Misaki said, rushing down the stairs and to the couch Shuichi was stuck on.
"Huh?" Shuichi gaped at the younger man.
"You were hurt by the man you love and you needed some place to turn. So you came to your cousin's, right?" Misaki questioned, grasping one of Shuichi's hands in his own.
"Y-Yeah…" Shuichi muttered.
"Then how can you think of yourself as a burden! It's not like this happens often. You haven't done anything to warrant such a thought!" Misaki scolded.
"A-ah…um…eh," Shuichi tried to say.
"Shuichi! Leave Yuki!" Ryuichi snapped, "Look at what he wrote this address on!"
"He told you where I lived!" Usami snapped, stomping over to the group.
"What is it, Shuichi?" K asked, walking up behind Usami.
"L-Lyrics th-that I w-wrote for Yuki," Shuichi stuttered, trying extremely hard not to cry, "f-for our an-anniversary…"
"Shuichi…" Usami stated, kneeling in front of his cousin.
"I-I knew it…" Shuichi whimpered, curling himself into a ball, "I knew I was cursed…"
"Cursed?' K and Misaki repeated.
"Cursed by what?" Ryuichi screamed.
"She cursed me…I just know it," Shuichi cried silently to himself.
"Who's her?" Misaki ordered from Usami.
"I told you already," Usami sighed, rubbing his cousin's knees, "His fiancé."
"F-Fiancé?" K and Ryuichi gasped.
"Wh-Why?" Shuichi whimpered, "Why'd you do this to me…Kiyomi…Why?"
Mizu: Am I making this a little too dark? I hope not cause I like it.
Shuichi: …Really? Why are you making Yuki so mean to me!
Mizu: Cause that's just how he is!
Misaki and Usagi-san: She does have a point.
Shuichi: *pouts* who asked you two anyways!
Mizu: Awww, don't be like that, Shuichi. Look, you'll end up with Yuki in the end and he'll be nicer, okay?
Shuichi: Okay!
Mizu: Anyways, on a random side note. I have just now started to read the Gravitation manga so I might have some things wrong. I hope you guys forgive me if I do. Reviews still completely welcome. Alright, I think that's it. So, ciao for now!
