Dream/Letter
Ch 3: Letters
Watching Shuichi run out in tears shocked Yuki. He had a bad feeling that he may have just ran out the love of his life. He was expecting Shuichi to beg and plead to stay. He never expected for him to just run out ready and crying. When his shock finally died down, Shuichi was nowhere to be found. Yuki hoped that Shuichi just went to Hiro, but something was telling him that it wasn't that case. He decided to wait a day before calling Hiro in case Shuichi needed time to cool off.
The next morning after calling, he became worried. Hiro hasn't seen Shuichi since the rehearsal two days prior. He didn't appear for yesterday's practice. Yuki called up his brother-in-law, Tohma. He usually knows everything about his idols. When his call was a disappointment, he called everyone he knew and searched everywhere Shuichi would usually go. All of Shuichi's friends were also worried and looking. They called the police after the third day of looking.
A week passed since his disappearance. The police called them to all gather up.
"I am sorry to inform you that Shuichi Shindo is dead. We found a bag of his stuff with letters inside addresses to some of you. The others may have been destroyed in the accident. He was hit by a drunk driver against a tree, and then the car blew up from a gas leak. There were no survivors. We are really sorry for your loss and you have our condolences."
The whole group became hysterical. Some were yelling, others were throwing things, while the rest were crying. They could not believe that one of their friends is dead. They refused to believe it. The quietest person in the room was Yuki as he tries to process the information. He started to feel depressed and worst than when he killed someone. This time he led someone to their death. He blamed himself for what just happened.
Suguru Fujisaki the one to silence everyone for a moment, "Officers, you said you had letters for us."
Letters were distributed to their respectful owner.
Hiro's Letter
Hey Hiro!
If you are reading this, something bad must have happened to me. I just want you to know that you are my bestest friend and I want you to be happy. You are in charge of our dream band. Look for a new singer. Don't spend your time blaming yourself. You have been there for me more than anyone else has. I just want you to know you mean a lot to me. Please live a life looking forward and not back.
Shu
Hiro was on the chair crying. He hugged the letter but with a new resolve. He wanted to remember Shuichi has the hyperactive and caring person he was. He shouldn't taint his memory with tears. Hiro decided to let all his pain and sadness out for now. He will focus on the future after wards.
Ryuichi's Letter
Hey Ryu!
I am going to miss our sparkly time together. I am happy to have met my idol. You gave me the push I needed to do music and also the push to be true to myself. If you are reading this, it means I may have gotten in an accident, but do not cry. I will always rain sparkles with you when you think of me. Continue inspiring people with your music!
Your sparkly buddy, Shuichi
Ryuichi hugged his pink bunny, Kumagoro. He cried into its fur. He just lost the person who could understand him more than anyone has ever been able to. He was in his serious mood and crying like his child-like self just wasn't right. He would miss Shuichi, but he had a point. He inspires people by his music. He left the room to write a song as a reminder of what Shuichi has done for him.
Yuki's Letter
Yuki,
I love you and I am sorry if I was annoying. When we first met, I hated you. I became obsessed with proving you wrong. But after you kissed me, I became infatuated with you. You became my muse. Don't blame yourself for whatever happened to me. You can move on to someone else now. I will be happy for you as long as you are happy. You gave me a chance at love. Live and enjoy the rest of your life. I really did sincerely love you. Whether you feel the same, I may never know. Just forget me and move one.
3 Shuichi 3
Yuki slid down the wall and shook. He blamed himself more than ever. He felt that if he hadn't yelled, then Shuichi would still be alive. He really loved Shuichi and to discover that he is dead was just too painful. He would give up everything just to know that Shuichi was happy wherever he was. 'I love you too, Shu! More than you ever knew…' He whispered to himself. He nodded to everyone and left. He went straight home to have more time to himself and cry. He needed more free rein away from the world to cry and absorb the excruciating pain of his lost love.
Tohma's Letter
Tohma,
I just want you to know how appreciative I am when you took notice to Bad Luck. I know we had our differences, especially about Yuki, but I am glad you became my friend at the end. Make sure Yuki doesn't do anything drastic. He needs you to be there for him like before. I can't imagine how he is right now but I just know he won't take whatever happened to me lightly. After the New York incident, he has been more aware of his past and his feelings. I need you to watch him. I love him and I trust you to help Yuki get past this. I need everyone to move on. Thank you for everything you have done for me!
Bad Luck Forever, Shuichi Shindo
He held the letter and read it a couple times. Shuichi became one of his few friends he had and to find out he is dead took its toll to him. Tears fell down his eyes and his vision became blurry. He now understood why Yuki left. He promised to be there for him but he would let him have the night to himself. Looking around, everyone was either in tears or holding onto someone for support. This was taking a lot of emotional energy.
The officers had long gone. Everyone was a mess but they did everything they could to pull through. When the fans heard the news, more tears were shed. Shuichi touched many people's hearts.
3 and half years later
Most people have moved on, others still do a few minor things to remember Shuichi. Many people celebrate his birthday, mourn his death, or just listen to his music. Bad Luck got a new singer named Kyo Suzuki. He has blue hair, crimson eyes, and charismatic personality. At people were not happy that Shuichi was replaced, but over time they fell in love. When Ryuichi performed his song about Shuichi, everyone wanted it. The sale for the single hit record high levels. Tohma watches over Yuki every time and spends as much time as he can with him. Yuki wrote many books to drown in work. He missed Shuichi every day: his loudness, randomness, and his clinginess. A lot of his stuff was still lying around the place. He never moved on to anyone new nor did he stop blaming himself.
Tohma was in his office when he got a phone call from America.
"Hello, this is Tohma Seguchi from NG recording company. How may I help you sir?
"Good day to you too, Tohma. I can never get how you are so polite to your old friend."
"What do you want, Daniel Phillips? You know I am a busy man."
"You're no fun. I am calling to inform you that my top band, Illusionary Escape will be in your side of the world soon. I was wondering if you had any good bands to open and close for them."
"KL Records is sending a band over, they must be good. Anyways, I have two bands in mind. Either Nittle Grasper or Bad Luck."
"Very well, I will let the leader of the band decide. Please take care of them. This could work out for you as well."
"Daniel, you need to stop being a tease and player. I know your wife isn't happy about that."
"Ok, ok, I'll stop messing with you for now. I really want you to watch over the band though."
"I will! You are a good friend and business partner, I won't let you down."
