Chapter 9

Only a lamp
in the far corner was on, dimly lighting the hotel suite and elongating the
shadows.� The sun had vanished from the
sky, slipping out of view behind the horizon of a metal and glass
landscape.� Through the open balcony
doors, the first stars twinkled to life in the midnight blue sky.� A hand unseen fingered the textured gauzy
curtains, making them rustle.� The
vertical blinds slapped together silently, their whispered chiming filling the
darkened suite.� The breeze enveloped the
couple entwined together in the middle of the living room, two large shadows in
front of the sliding doors.� They stood
in a square pool of light, their shadows creating silhouettes on the
floor.� Into the silence soft muffled
sobs rasped.� Salty drops of water
congealed into a heavy torrent that poured down Shuichi�s face.

Eiri
tightened his hold on the trembling man, running his hands up and down
Shuichi�s back.� He buried his face in
the burgundy hair tickling his chin.�
Strangely, despite all the chemicals, gel and hairspray polluting it,
Shuichi�s hair was unbelievably soft.� A
tiny smile crossed his face as he inhaled the sweet, intoxicating scent that
was Shuichi.� It was a mixture of
strawberry and vanilla.

This was so
unlike him.� Eiri felt like those
lovesick fools he wrote about in his novel.�
What happened to that heartless eligible bachelor, that cold, stoic man
who did not care about anyone or anything and who would bring home a different
person every night but found no pleasure in the act; just went through the
motions in an effort to forget?� That man
for the past year has been gradually disappearing and now that the object of
his affection was back in his arms, he could feel his old self, who had been
trying to hold on for dear life, lose his grip and vanish into oblivion.

�I saw
you,� he whispered above the younger man�s sobs.� He gripped Shuichi and held him firmly
against him.

His mind
muddled, Shuichi�s mind blanked.�
Confused, he tipped his head back to peer up at Eiri through glistening
red-hazel eyes, his hands coming to rest lightly but firmly on Eiri�s broad
shoulders.� A stray tear whispered down
his flushed, drenched cheeks.� �What?� he
asked.� His voice was tight.� Shuichi watched as Eiri reached up and trapped
the droplet with his finger.� Bringing
his finger to his mouth, he licked the tear slick digit.� A hot blush reddened Shuichi�s face.

Chuckling
softly, Eiri brought one hand up to cup Shuichi�s face while his other hand
gripped his narrow hips possessively.

Shuichi
leaned into the warm touch.� A gentle
smile was on his face.� His eyes
fluttered closed.

�A few months
back you were playing at a charity event.�

�I
remember,� Shuichi said.� He covered
Eiri�s hand on his cheek.� Opening his
eyes, he stared lovingly into those beautiful eyes.

�Seguchi
dragged me into going,� Eiri admitted.

Silence enveloped
the couple.� Shuichi blinked stupidly for
several long seconds.� His face was
neutral.� Then what Eiri just said
finally penetrated the thick layers of fog in his head.� �What?!� Shuichi exclaimed in disbelief.� �You were there?�

Eiri
nodded.

�At the
concert?�

Again, Eiri
nodded.� He was slightly amused by the
incredulity and astonishment on the singer�s face.� �I was not going to go, but then I learned
you were going to be performing and I found I couldn�t turn him down.�

Stunned,
Shuichi stumbled backwards.� Eiri�s arms
fell away.�

Eiri had
been there.� He had come to see him.� He could not believe it.� Nobody had said anything to him about Eiri
being at the concert.� Why had nobody
said anything?� Shuichi felt a little
hurt that he had been left out of the loop.�
Why had he been kept in the dark?�
But then, he thought gloomily, why would anybody tell him anything?� It was not as if Eiri and he were
together.� Eiri could do whatever he
wanted with whomever he wanted; even go to a Bad Luck concert, not as if he had
to answer to him or anything.� That
realization made Shuichi feel suddenly very sad.� With a grimace, he clutched his chest as his
heart gave a painful lurch.� Tears
prickled his eyes.

Eiri
watched the different emotions swim across Shuichi�s face.� A fist tightened around his heart as he
watched Shuichi�s face fall.� He did not
like that expression on his soon to be lover�s face.� It did not suit him.� Reaching out a hand, Eiri cupped the side of
Shuichi�s face and brushed his thumb across his cheek, sweeping over a lone
tear that traversed down the damp hill.�
�What�s this for?� he asked in a soft voice.� �Huh?�

Shuichi
gave him a forced watery smile and shook his head.� He did not trust his voice.

�Dummy,�
Eiri said lightly.

Shuichi bit
back a smile that threatened to split his face as a rosy blush tinted his
cheeks.

�Beautiful,�
Eiri whispered before he could stop himself.

The blush
deepened.

Eiri
chuckled softly.� Wrapping his arms
around Shuichi�s shoulders, he reeled him in.

Shuichi
hugged his arms around Eiri�s chest and nestled against him with a contented
sigh.� Smiling, he closed his eyes

�I learned
something that day.�

�Hm,�
Shuichi hummed as he burrowed further into Eiri�s body.� He loved the feeling of being wrapped within
Eiri�s arms.� All his worries, fears, and
inhibitions evaporated.� Being held like
this by Eiri made him as if he was protected and that nothing else mattered.

�I
learned,� Eiri continued, speaking softly into Shuichi�s ear, �that I was a
fool to let you go.�

Shuichi
inhaled sharply and his eyes popped open.�
He stared slack jawed and speechless at the far wall hidden deep within
the shadows.

Eiri found
all of it tumbling out quite easily.� �I
felt something that night�the night we met.�

So did I,
Shuichi thought with a tiny smile, tightening his grip.

�But it
scared me,� Eiri confessed.� He laid his
cheek upon Shuichi�s head.

Shuichi
frowned.� �What did?� he asked curiously.

��What you
were making me feel.�

Shuichi
blinked.� What he was making him
feel?� What did that mean?� Was Eiri saying that he�that he�loved him?� Confused, he pulled away from the man and
searched his face carefully.� �Yuki,� he
whispered.

Unable to
hold that penetrating gaze, Eiri turned his head to stare blankly over
Shuichi�s shoulder.� ��I told you about
my parents, right?�

�Oh, Yuki,�
Shuichi whispered.

He
remembered.� It was the one subject that
Eiri had refused to go into any great detail about accept to say that it had
been a bitter and ugly parting that
had affected him greatly.� That still
clearly affected him to this day nearly twenty years later.� He had not understood at the time how
something like your parents� marriage breaking apart could have such a strong
influence on the rest of your life that you would be afraid of allowing
yourself to fall in love.� Then again,
his parents were still together.� They
would be celebrating their twentieth wedding anniversary in September.

�And
now�now I�� The rest was choked back.

Shuichi
smiled sympathetically.� He reached up
and caressed a hand down the side of Eiri�s face.� �It�s okay.�
Yuki.�� He may not understand the
turmoil waging through Eiri�s head, but he did know that there was one.� And that he understood.

Eiri
grabbed the small hand stroking his head and linked their fingers
together.� Raising their tangled hands,
he pressed his lips to the back of Shuichi�s hand, which caused Shuichi�s face
to burn hotly.� With a smirk, Eiri
continued.� �But despite everything, I
found myself�falling in love�with you,� he confessed.� His face felt hot.

Shuichi
gasped.� Tears gathered in his eyes.� �Yuki.�

�I have no
excuses for what I did other than to say that I was a complete and utter idiot
for letting you walk away. �I won�t
apologize because I don�t deserve your forgiveness and I have no right to ask
you for a second chance, not after everything that�s happened.�� He paused to take a breath and gather his
thoughts.

Shuichi
waited patiently for him to continue.

Lifting his
head, Eiri stared into those rich hazel eyes that had hints of red.� �I don�t deserve you, Shuichi Shindou.� You are too good for me.� I have nothing to offer you that you couldn�t
find somewhere else.�

�Yuki?�

�And
that�s�that�s why,� Eiri continued, �that�s why I was all right with letting
Sakuma have you.� I thought�I believed
that he was a much better man for you, that he would be able to give you what I
couldn�t.�

Tears
trickled down Shuichi�s face.

Eiri�s eyes
darkened as he thought over what that idiot Sakuma did give him.� Apparently, he had placed his trust in the
wrong person.� If he ever got his hands
on him�!

Concerned,
Shuichi lifted a hand and it laid it gently on Eiri�s flushed cheek.� �Yuki?�

Instantly
his murderous thoughts slipped to the back of his mind and his eyes
brightened.� �Shuichi.�

Shuichi�s
heart skipped a beat.

�I know I
have no right to ask you this, but��

Shuichi
waited anxiously.� His pulse started
beating faster.

�But do you
think we could�?�� Eiri felt his face
grow hot.� �I�m not asking you to forgive
me.� I�m just�� Eiri struggled with the words.� This was definitely not his forte.� �Or to give me a second chance.� I just want��
Eiri was growing frustrated with himself.� �Will you come back to me?� Could we try again?� he forced himself to
say.

No sooner
had those words left his mouth than he found himself with an armful of purple
fluff.� Taken aback, Eiri blinked,
uncertain about how he should react or proceed.�
He held his arms out around them, his fingers twitching.� Sweating, he wracked his brain as he tried to
straighten out his thoughts and figure out what to do.� Damn this lousy brat, confusing him to no end.

Fed up with his indecision, Eiri�s body relaxed, the tension
dissipating and drew his arms about Shuichi.�
�Shuichi,� he sighed.

He
tightened his hold around the shaking boy, burying his face in his hair.� He hushed Shuichi quietly as he tried to
comfort the crying singer.� He was not
sure what to do in situations like these.�
He opened and closed his mouth several times, feeling like a complete
fool, unable to think of anything to say.�
Instead, he kept his tongue and just held Shuichi.

+---+---+

After
awhile, Shuichi�s sobs began to lessen and his tears slowed.� Lifting his head, he wiped his wet face with
the heel of his hand then rested his cheek against Eiri�s chest and stared
blankly out into the shadow-strewn room.�
A lone tear rolled down his exposed cheek.� �I was waiting,� he said into the silence.

�For what?�
Eiri asked softly.

�You.�

Eiri�s
stomach twisted.

Shuichi
clawed at the back of Eiri�s shirt.�
Fresh tears clouded his vision.�
�All this time,� he wept, his voice thick with tears, �I�ve had this
secret hope that you would come for me.�

�Shuichi.�

�But you never
came!� he cried accusingly.

As a rule
he never apologized, but this time as Eiri watched the tears stream down
Shuichi�s face, heard the bitterness and the resentment in his voice, he could
not not say something.� �Gomen nasai,� he apologized with a tight
his voice.

�Why,
Eiri?� Why now?� Of all times?�
Why?�

Eiri
tightened his hold.

Shuichi
lifted his head and stared into those hazel eyes golden like the sun eyes.� A stray tear trickled down his face.� �Why?��
He grabbed fistfuls of Eiri�s shirt and shook him using all his bottled,
pent up emotions.� �Why!� he practically
screamed.

Eiri
growled, suddenly angry, but at whom he was not sure.� �Because I couldn�t sit idly by and watch as
that bastard continued to make a fool of you!�
I entrusted you to him, believed he would be able to take care of you
and look what he pulls!� He goes and has
an affair with my little brother!� Not
once, but twice!�

Shuichi
stood in stunned silence.� �E-Eiri,� he
whispered.

Eiri�s face
softened.� All the anger rushed out of
him at once.� Reaching out, he caressed
Shuichi�s cheek.� �There were so many
times I just wanted to go to you and take you back, whether you wanted to or
not.�

A smile crossed Shuichi�s face.

�I had so
many opportunities and chances to just snatch you off the street and drag you
home with me where I envisioned spending the whole night making sweet, sweet
love to you.�

�Why didn�t
you?� Shuichi blurted without thinking.

Eiri
snickered.

A blush
tinted Shuichi�s cheeks as he realized what he just said.� �I-I-I, uh, I mean, I didn�t-�

Eiri shook
his head in amusement.� Then with a sigh,
his smile slipped off his face and was replaced by a grim expression.

Shuichi
felt the sudden shift in the air, sensed the heaviness.� A serious mask slipped over his face.� �Eiri?� he called softly.

Eiri
sandwiched Shuichi�s face between his hands and gazed deeply into Shuichi�s
eyes.� �Does it really matter why?� he
asked, searching the man�s face.� He took
a step towards him, swallowing what little space there had been.� �I�m here now aren�t I?� he said, his voice
barely a whisper.� He dipped his head.

Shuichi�s
breath hitched.� Breathing heavily, he
licked dry lips and gripped Eiri�s shirt with sweaty palms.� His pulse was racing.� He could feel his heart beating painfully in
his chest.� �Eiri,� he whispered faintly
right before Eiri�s lips pressed into his.�
His face was all Shuichi could see.

Shuichi
froze.� He stared blankly at Eiri�s
forehead, confused as to what he was supposed to do.� Should he kiss him back or push him
away?� He did not know!� Oh, he was just so confused.� This whole thing was so confusing.� Why did Eiri have to show up now of all
times?� The only thing that was going
through his mind was, �He tastes of tobacco�.

Eiri pulled
back, frowning deeply when he felt something wet drip onto his face.� �Shu?� he called uncertainly.� Had he pushed things too far too fast?� He opened his mouth, but Shuichi�s soft,
trembling voice cut him off.

�Why?�
Shuichi whispered.� �Why?� I don�t understand.�

�Don�t
understand what?�

Shuichi
jerked Eiri�s shirt.� �This!� Us!�
You and me!�� Sobbing and blinded
by his tears, Shuichi collapsed to his knees at Eiri's feet.� Burying his face in his hands, he cried
silently.

Eiri watched
the boy in growing sympathy.

�I never
stopped loving you,� Shuichi confessed, weeping.

Crouching,
Eiri folded his hands between his knees.�
�Then come back with me.�

�Huh?�� Shuichi lifted tear filled eyes.

�Give us a
chance�to try again.� Allow me the
opportunity�to try to win you back.�

Shuichi
opened his mouth, but when nothing came out, snapped it shut.� His mind was a maze and a jumble of thoughts.

Eiri
watched those large beautiful eyes cloud over in confusion and felt like he had
been kicked in the gut.� �Do you love
me?�

Shuichi
lifted his head and gazed at Eiri.�
�Yes,� he admitted without any thought.

Eiri
smirked.� �Do you want to be with me?�

��Yes.�

Eiri caught
that moment�s hesitation and frowned angrily.�
He fisted his hands and clenched his jaw.� Damn that man!� Even after everything he did, Shuichi still
feels some loyalty to him!� �Why?� he
growled.

Shuichi
blinked in surprise at the angry tone.�
�Eiri?�

�That jerk
cheated on you!� He lied to you!� He used you!�
And yet you still love him!�� His
voice broke.� �Why, Shuichi?� Why do you stay with him?�

A sad
little smile crossed Shuichi�s lips.�
�Because he�s my husband.�
