Chapter 12
“But
I can’t.”
…and
shattered.
“Not
yet at least.”
Eiri’s
ears perked up. The tiniest flicker of
hope fluttered to life.
“I
hate you for what you said,” Shuichi told him.
His tone was neither accusatory nor hateful. But neither was it stated
matter-of-fact. The hurt he felt at the
abuse he had suffered at the hand off the man who claimed to love him was
clearly conveyed though.
Guilt
ate away at Eiri.
Shuichi
focused his gaze on Eiri. “You made me feel
like an idiot for wanting to believe in my husband,” he accused. His voice wavered slightly but remained hard.
“That
wasn’t my intention,” Eiri admitted in an apologetic tone.
Shuichi
gave Eiri a small smile. “I know.”
Maybe
not all was lost after all. That tiny
flame started to grow. Eiri found
himself returning the smile almost unconsciously.
He
regretted the hard words he spit at Shuichi earlier only in so much as they
caused him so much pain. Eiri wanted
Shuichi to always be smiling, to always be happy and remain the carefree,
innocent guy he met the previous year.
But as guilty as Eiri felt for being the one responsible for wiping that
sensuous smile from Shuichi’s face, his long angry speech had been a necessary
evil. Though in hindsight he could have
gone a little easier on the vocalist.
But on the other hand, if he had not been so “forward” and “open” there
was no telling where they would be right now.
The
falling smile on Shuichi’s face caught Eiri’s eye.
Shuichi
dropped his gaze, his brow furrowed in thought.
Worry
gnawed at Eiri’s heels. Doubt flowed
through his veins. He suddenly worried
that he had misunderstood Shuichi and their chances. That flame flickered as a breeze brushed by
it. It was on the verge of being put out
forever.
It
was now or never, Shuichi thought, trying to psych himself up. Inhaling deeply, he blinked long and
slow. Lifting his gaze, he stared at the
man watching him with guarded expectation.
“Eiri.”
That
determined glint was there once again, though this time it was somewhat
subdued, Eiri noticed. His heart beating
erratically, Eiri’s nervousness grew and his fear rose. He was not sure what to expect. Dozens of different emotions and thoughts
swirled through him.
“Before,
you asked me to give ‘us’ another chance.
You asked me to return to Japan with you.”
Eiri
did not like where this was going.
Shuichi
dropped his head, momentarily lost in thought.
“But before I can do that, there’s something that I must do,” Shuichi
confessed.
Eiri’s
heart thumped heavily in his chest.
“I…I
must…I have to ask him…that is…”
Even
through Shuichi’s sputterings, Eiri knew what the boy was trying to say. He was not happy about it, but he guessed it
was inevitable.
Shuichi
paused to gather his thoughts. He was
afraid of what Eiri’s reaction to his decision was going to be. “I’m sorry Eiri, but before I can decide
anything, I need to talk to Ryu.” He
searched Eiri’s face closely.
Eiri
sighed. He took comfort in the fact that
Shuichi had not rejected his affections.
Yet, he added. “I never liked
that guy,” Eiri muttered.
Shuichi
blinked. “Yuki?”
“Do
what you must,” he said reluctantly.
A
grin split Shuichi’s face. “Thank you
Eiri.”
Eiri
smirked. He tugged the hand still
clasped lightly within his, pulling Shuichi towards him. Wrapping his free arm around the boy’s tiny
waist, Eiri held him firmly against him.
Letting go of Shuichi’s hand, he cupped the hot, red cheek. “You’re going to owe me big time though,” he
told Shuichi suggestively.
Shuichi
blushed fiercely. He dropped his gaze in
embarrassment. “Then…”
“Hm?”
Eiri cocked an eyebrow.
If
possible, Shuichi’s face grew even redder.
He bit his lip. Did he have the
right to ask this of him? “Then that’s
two I owe you.”
“Two,
huh?”
“…Yuki?”
“Hm?”
Shuichi
lifted his head and gazed deeply into the golden eyes watching him. “Can I ask…a favor of you? I need…I need you to do something for me.”
Eiri
dropped his brows. A favor? Where was he going with this? What was he thinking?

It was
nearing midnight when a cab pulled up in front of the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The man inside handed the cab driver a wad of
cash. Gathering his bag, he opened the
cab door and stepping out onto the sidewalk, shut the door behind him. As the cab pulled carefully into traffic, the
man tipped his head back and glanced up at the hotel. “Shuichi,” he whispered.
