So quick funny story. My Mother got on the 50 Shades of Grey bandwagon, and made the funniest comment to me about it. "You wouldn't understand it" she said. I stared at her for a moment, thinking of all these stories I have on my computer that I've never uploaded and thought to myself "Oh no, I understand it" then made the comment "You're right, I don't understand stupid waste of paper, poorly written books."
"Shuichi, please open the door," Maiko called out from the bedroom door. "You haven't eaten anything all day," she added.
No reply came from the other side. The thing that bugged her was that it had been quiet since Shuichi came home that morning.
She sighed as she heard a knock on the door. "At this hour," she asked walking towards it. Slowly she opened the door to see who it was. "Can I help you? Oh, Mr. Uesugi," she said as she opened the door all the way. "Why are you here?"
"Is he here," Eiri said as he looked both directions in the hallway of the apartment complex.
Lowering her head, she led him into the apartment. "He's been locked in his room since this morning. He hasn't even come out to use the bathroom."
"Maiko, tell me the truth. Has Shuichi been using drugs?"
She nodded. "He started about two months ago. I don't know what he's using, but he's changed. He's not my brother anymore," she said as tears built up in her eyes. "Shuichi really misses you."
He set his hand on the wooden door. 'This is all that keeps him and I apart right now,' he thought. Turning the doorknob, he was annoyed to see it was locked. "Cover your ears," he said as he pulled the gun out and aimed it at the knob.
The shot came right as she cupped her ears. "Mr. Uesugi…."
"I'll pay for it later," Eiri said as he out the gun away. He pushed opened the door and was hit by the intense smell of stale alcohol and body odor. "Wow," he mumbled as he covered his nose.
Maiko looked away. "You get used to it after a few months."
He shook his head and he turned on the bedroom light. He was shocked by the amount of filth in the room. The teen was never really one to clean up after himself, but he was never this bad. "Shuichi," Eiri called out, not wanting to enter the mess.
Realizing there was no movement, he sighed. On the end of the bed he noticed the coat, sitting open to show its treasure. "Fuck he did really steal it."
Maiko looked at Eiri with wide eyes. "What? What did my brother do?"
Carefully Eiri walked into the room. "This coat was a delivery he was assigned to make. Looks like most of it is still here though," he mumbled as he looked around. "I thought you said he hasn't left this room."
She scratched her head. "Well he couldn't have left it. He hasn't left the apartment, and I'm sure his door hasn't opened yet."
"Well he isn't here. Where else would he go?"
"When he gets high enough he'll go to a club to try…" she looked down at the floor. "To try to find someone to replace you. Most the time he doesn't come back for a few days."
Eiri rolled his eyes. "Brat doesn't have a few days," he mumbled as he grabbed the coat and walked out of the room. "If he comes home, give me a call," he said as he scribbled his number on a piece of paper.
Maiko nodded. "What kind of trouble is Shuichi in?"
He stopped for a second. "If I don't find him in the next 23 hours, a hit will go out on him," he replied as he turned to face Maiko. "He's really messed up this time. Rarely do people live after stealing from the Yakuza."
Nodding she sat down on the couch. "Will you help my brother? He really loves you so…"
Eiri started walking away again. "I'm trying to help him," he said as he closed the door. Silently he walked down to the car and tossed the coat in the trunk. "Freaking brat," he mumbled as he got into the car.
Driving down the street, he decided he needed a new plan. If Shuichi didn't want to be found, he was going to die. But…what was Tohma planning to do to him? Probably something perverted but still…there was no way to really know.
He pulled up to a red light and waited patiently for it to change. Deep in thought, he didn't notice the person walking up to the passenger side window until they tapped on it. Eyeing the person, his face went pale. "Shuichi," he whispered. "Well that was easy," he mumbled as he rolled down the window.
"Nice car," Shuichi whispered. "Give me a ride?"
Eiri closed his eyes as he unlocked the door. He waited for the teen to get in before driving off down the street. "Where to," he asked, trying to see how responsive Shuichi was.
"Any where's fine with me," he said as he rolled the window up. "You kind of look like this guy I used to date," Shuichi said as he leaned on the center console.
He eyed Shuichi. "Oh yeah?" He had to figure out if it was the drugs or sarcasm leading this conversation.
Shuichi licked his lips slowly. "Yeah, and he loved it when I did this to him," he said as he reached his hand towards Eiri's groin and started rubbing it through his pants. "Oh? You're already starting to get hard?"
Eiri blushed a bit. In truth it was just the sight of Shuichi that made him hard. Luckily the darkness was able to hide the change in color on his face. "What can I say, it's been a boring night," he said as he pulled into an empty parking lot.
The 'click' sound from the doors locking made Shuichi stop what he was doing. Sitting up, he looked around outside of the car. "I don't like having the doors locked," he whispered.
"Sorry to say but you're stuck with it," Eiri mumbled as he dropped the keys onto the floor of the driver's side. "Shuichi."
Shuichi leaned against the door, trying to open it. "How do you know my name? What are you going to do to me?"
"Relax Shu, it's me," Eiri whispered as he turned on an over head light. "You do remember who I am, right?"
He stared at the blond for a few minutes, scared of what might happen next. Finally he replied to the question. "No," he said softly.
Tears started falling from Eiri's eyes. "Brat…why did you have to turn to drugs? Fuck," he said as he bashed his hand against the steering wheel. "Why the hell did you even have to get involved with the Yakuza…there was no reason to subject you to this life."
Slowly Shuichi lowered himself onto the front seat. "Could you be…it's hard for me to put a face to him now, but the man that I once loved."
"Yeah Shu, that's me," he whispered as he raked the finger on his right hand through Shuichi's pink locks. "The way I hear it from Maiko is that you still love me as much as I love you."
"Yuki?"
Eiri smiled as he leaned towards Shuichi to kiss his lips. "Shu, you did something really stupid. You can't just steal from Tohma and think everything will be alright," he whispered directly into Shuichi's ear.
"Are you going to turn me over to him? I thought you loved me," he cried, shaking his head.
He pulled back as he looked out the front window of the car. "If I don't take you to Tohma then he'll order you to be killed. But since you have a drug problem…since they had you transporting the very drug you're addicted to, I can talk to Tohma about sparing your life. But…."
Shuichi started shivering. "I want to be with Yuki. I don't want to go anywhere else but with Yuki. I finally have you back and I don't want to be without you again."
Eiri nodded as he started the car. "Trust me I know the feeling. I would rather have you around than anyone else," he whispered. "For tonight, let's go get something to eat and then go to a hotel. You really look like you haven't eaten since we parted ways."
Carefully Shuichi sat down and buckled his seatbelt. "Na Yuki," he said after a few minutes. "Why did you make a deal that would pull us apart like that?"
He thought for a bit about his answer. "We were already at each one another's' throats about you not wanting to leave Japan. When I found out your sister was mixed into it, I knew you wouldn't forgive me if anything happened to her. It was easier to sell my soul to a devil than force you onto a plane." Slowly he looked at the teen. "We both said a lot of things we didn't mean."
"I don't remember," Shuichi said as he laid his head on the blonds arm. "I'm sorry I hit you."
Eiri smiled as he parked the car. "Not like you left any marks," he said as he turned the car off again. "Come on, let's go eat."
Shuichi shook his head. "I'm not hungry…just tired."
"I'm not giving you a choice, Shuichi. That cocaine you've been abusing acts as an appetite suppressant. You need to start eating or you'll die," he whispered, letting his hands run to the teens sides. "No one wants that…well, no one that cares for you wants that."
Nodding Shuichi sat up. "Alright, I'll eat for you," he said as he removed his seatbelt. "I love that Yuki cares about me so much," he added as he opened the car door.
Eiri watched as Shuichi got out of the car. He paused when he remembered that Shuichi was still dressed in clothes that would be easy to get out of. "Shu," he called as he got out and locked the doors. "Let's walk over to that store and get you some proper clothes first."
He looked down at his clothes. The lack of cloth from the short shorts was making his legs slightly cold. "But I don't have any money to buy more clothes," he protested.
"Stupid brat," Eiri mumbled, wrapping his arms around the teen. "I'm paying," he whispered.
Shuichi looked down. "I don't want Yuki to spend all his money on me."
"You already know I have more money than you could ever spend," he mumbled. "Come on," he said as they started walking into a store.
…
The area was silent even as people moved about the estate. The dark blue car pulled into the driveway before the grand stairs.
"I'm scared," Shuichi whispered as he gripped his former lovers hand. "Please can I have a baggy before I go in?"
Eiri sighed as he shook his head. "You need to get off that stuff," he replied before kissing the teens head. "I love you, Shu."
Carefully he opened the car and stepped out. The black knee high boots seemed to blend into the black asphalt of the paved driveway. So much so that it made Shuichi dizzy. Standing up finally, he fixed the loose pink tie that hung over his white shirt. "Yuki," he whispered, looking up at the manor.
He walked over to the teen and pulled the leather shorts down so they covered a bit more of his thighs. "You'll be fine," he mumbled as he opened the trunk. Carefully he grabbed the coat and started walking inside.
"Welcome back Mr. Uesugi," the woman at the counter said with a smile. "Have a good night out," she asked, looking over at Shuichi.
"Could say that," he said, placing the hand gun on the counter along with the keys and cell phone. "Come on," he whispered to Shuichi.
Shuichi nodded as he followed Eiri into a large room. He froze when he was Tohma and Mika sitting at the dining room table.
Tohma looked up surprised to see the teen there so soon.
"Eiri what's the meaning of this," Mika said as she stood, slamming her silverware on the table.
Tohma smiled softly as he sipped a cup of tea. "It's alright, darling. I approved Eiri to go out and find him. Though I didn't think it would be done so quickly."
Stepping back, he tried to hide behind the blond. "I'm scared again."
Eiri tossed the coat on the floor. "There's only an ounce missing," he proclaimed as he stood his ground. "What I want to know, is how a user from Tokyo became a transported for Kyoto and how he was cleared to even get near it."
"So that's why Mr. Shindou stole from me; to feed his habit," Tohma said as he stood up. "Mika dear, you don't have to worry about anything," he said with a smile as he walked towards Eiri and Shuichi. Reaching forward he mixed his fingers with the pink strands and pulled causing Shuichi to yelp.
Mika wiped her mouth before standing. "We have a meeting in town in less than an hour," she said plainly. "We don't want to be late."
He smiled. "Don't worry, Mika. We'll be on time. What I have in store of Mr. Shindou won't be here until this afternoon."
Shuichi looked up with scared eyes. He wanted to start begging but the words couldn't be formed in his mouth.
"Tohma, what exactly are you going to do to him," Eiri asked as he watched Shuichi fall to the floor.
He looked up at Eiri with innocent eyes. "That's just something you will have to wait to see," he said as he looked at Shuichi who had curled into a ball on the floor. "Eiri, how about while Mika and I are gone, you wash him up. The outfit is fine, but I could see dirt on his skin," Tohma said as he walked over to his wife. "Shall we get going Mika," he said softly.
The room was silent as the couple left for parts unknown. "Shuichi," Eiri whispered as he kneeled down next to him. "Come on," he whispered as he rubbed a hand up and down the teens spine. Carefully he picked the teen up and carried him towards his bedroom.
"Eiri…he's going to kill me, isn't he," he whispered as he was set on the bed. "I mean, he already doesn't like me because I tried to take you from him, now I've stolen drugs from him."
Eiri kissed the teens head. "I don't know, Shuichi. For now don't think about it," he whispered as he kissed the teens lips. Slowly he pulled his head back, looking at the teen before him. "I wish you and I would have just left Japan," he said softly.
Slowly Shuichi nodded before kissing the blond again, wrapping his hands around the older man's neck. "Please don't let me go, Yuki," he cried, tears streaming down his face. "When I'm with you I know I'm safe. So please…please protect me."
"I'll do everything I can," Eiri said as he pushed the teen back onto the bed. Carefully he started nipping at the teen's neck, stopping to suck on his color bone. "I love you Shuichi," he said as he started unbuttoning the white shirt.
Shuichi closed his eyes as he felt the gentle hands caress his skin. This is what he wanted; he wanted to know that Eiri was still in love with him even after all this. He wanted to be in the blonds arms forever and always. "Yuki," he cried out when he felt teeth attacking his exposed chest. "Wait Yuki, don't," he cried.
Eiri stopped and looked at this idiot. "What's wrong?"
"I'll take care of you, but please don't…I don't want to give Mr. Seguichi more reason to tear us apart," he cried, sitting up. "Please?"
Eiri smiled as he closed his eyes. Carefully he picked the teen up and laid him in the middle of the bed. "Fine, just don't start crying brat," Eiri mumbled as he pulled the boots off. "You're really annoying," he said as he laid next to the teen.
I was going to put the next scene in, but it needs a big edit. Don't know how I missed that one haha. So it will be up in the next few days.
