Chapter 11: From a Certain Point of View

�What a balled up pill,�
Shuichi exclaimed as the screen went dark.

�Wha-?� came the question.

Shuichi spared a glance over his shoulder as he reached for the remote sitting
on the DVD case on the coffee table.�
Sucking on a cigarette as he stood leaning casually against the doorjamb
in the open doorway that led to their daughter�s room and their respective
offices was Eiri.� �Kagetora,� Shuichi
answered.� He pressed the stop button
just as the DVD menu popped onto the screen.

Eiri raised an eyebrow.� �Who?� he asked against as he pushed away
from the door.

Having pressed the eject
button, the carousel slid out of the DVD player.� The television screen went blue.� Shuichi set the remote down on the table and
picking up the DVD case, he held it out to his husband.

Rounding the sofa, Eiri
grabbed the case.� Taking the cigarette
out of his mouth, he blew out a thin stream of grey smoke.� He stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray
then turned to regard the case.� Having
left his glasses back in his study, Eiri held it out at arm�s length.

Shuichi giggled at the sight.

Eiri ignored him.� �Mirage
of Blaze: Rebels of the River Edge,� he read as he took a seat on the
couch.

�In the series,� Shuichi was
saying as he sat back down next to his husband, �I felt bad for him.�� He took the case and replaced the DVD
inside.� Snapping it closed, he bent over
and set it on the table next to the remote control.� Settling back, he snuggled against Eiri�s
side.

Eiri draped an arm around Shuichi�s
shoulders and held his pink haired baka
close.

�I mean,� Shuichi continued,
�everybody was making him out to be the bad guy when all he seemed to be was
this innocent high school student who didn�t know from nothing (1).� And these guys came across as bent (2) pills
(3).�

Eiri raised an eyebrow at
Shuichi�s word choices.� Definitely too
much anime for the brat (4).� �And now?�

�Well,� Shuichi said as he
tightened his hold on his golden haired lover.�
�This time, Kagetora was just an ass.�
Now I understand why they said what they said about him.�

�..Hn��

He knew what that meant.� Shuichi pulled away just enough to gaze into
his husband�s face.� �What�s that
supposed to mean?� he demanded.

��Nothing��

Shuichi frowned.� �No, not �nothing�.� What were you going to say?�

Eiri heaved a sigh.� �I was going to say that you should see
things from his point of view.�

Shuichi rolled his eyes.� �You�re off your nut (5)!�� He settled back against Eiri, for which Eiri
was grateful.� His side had gotten cold.

�Shu, this guy spent his
whole life being used and betrayed over and over again and by people he should
have been able to trust.�

Put like that, Shuichi
thought Kagetora�s behavior might be a little better understood.� But still�

��He was afraid.�

Afraid?� Shuichi stared up at Eiri�s face.� It was hard and tense.� He suddenly felt like they were not speaking
about Mirage of Blaze and Saburo
Kagetora Uesugi anymore.� Shuichi
wondered suddenly if Eiri was a descendant.

�Afraid of getting too close only
to be betrayed yet again,� Eiri was saying as he stared blankly out the wall of
windows out at the Tokyo landscape.

�Oh.�

�And then after what happened
thirty years ago�It just confirmed what he thought all along.� That he can�t trust anyone.�

��Yeah.� I suppose so.�
I never thought about it like that.��
Shuichi snuggled deeper into Eiri.

He was starting to understand
Kagetora a little bit more.� You were
going to be betrayed repeatedly any number of times in your lifetime.� It was just something that happened.� Betrayal was the worst feeling in the
world.� Some people can deal with it and
move on, but for others, it was another wound that refused to heal.� Different people deal with situations
differently.

�People just don�t understand
how much being betrayed can affect a person.�

Shuichi glanced at Eiri
again.� He was sure Eiri was not speaking
to him about Kagetora anymore.

�Especially when that�s all
you know�It�s not something you can so easily get over.�

�Hm�I suppose the right
person just hasn�t come along then, huh?�

Eiri blinked, brought out of
his thoughts.� He glanced down at Shuichi
and met his wide grin.� A rare smile
crossed Eiri�s face.� �Or maybe he has,
but he�s just too stupid to realize it.��
He reached out and brushed a strand of hair off Shuichi�s cheek, �I�m
sure when he does realize it, he�ll finally start to heal.�� Just as you�ve helped me do, he added
silently.

Shuichi touched Eiri�s
face.� �I love you, Eiri,� he whispered
as if hearing the unspoken thought.

Dropping his head, Eiri
conked their foreheads together.� �Baka,� he chuckled lightly.

The tender moment was
suddenly broken by the sound of their daughter wailing from her bedroom.� Guess nap time was over.

�Didn�t know from nothing� � saying from the 1920�s
and 1930�s that means, �don�t have any info�

2.
�bent� � �drunk�

3.
�pills� � �an unlikeable person�

4.
These are all terms I took from Chrono Crusade the dubbed version of the anime.� The series takes place in the 1920�s so ADV
decided to change the speech to reflect it.�
There are some great lines in it.

�off your nut� - crazy
