Lies

Shuichi awoke suddenly, feeling the couch sink. Yuki had sat beside him, staring at him.

\"Morning, Yuki,\" Shuichi smiled, stretching. Yuki was about to grab Shuichi\'s arm to pull him into his embrace, but Shuichi snatched himself away. Yuki shot him a confused look. \"Uh..I need to get going,\" Shuichi stammered as he ran into the bedroom. He could feel Yuki following him, so he quickly closed the door. Yuki was surprised at Shuichi\'s shyness. Usually he invited Yuki to come in with him.

\"Are you feeling alright? And where are you going? I thought today was your day off?\"

\"Er...change of plans, I have to go do another recording,\"

\"Do you want me to pick you up?\"

\"No, that\'s fine. I\'ll be fine,\"

Shuichi came out of the bedroom with yet another long sleeved shirt and shorts. Yuki looked at Shuichi sternly.

\"Whatever happened to the high rise tank tops?\"

Shuichi shrugged, as he pecked Yuki on the cheek.

\"See you later Yuki,\"

And with that, Shuichi ran out of the apartment, leaving a confused Yuki.

Shuichi ran out of the apartment building, and tried finding a place he could waste an entire day in. He just couldn\'t stand looking at Yuki without tearing up inside. He wandered down the street until he came to a quiet looking bar, and entered it. A few random people were sitting at the bar table, and others at the tables surrounding the tv. Shuichi found himself a dark corner to sit in, and a woman came and smiled.

\"Would you like anything, love?\"

Shuichi nodded. \"What do you reccommend?\"

The woman smiled some more. \"Alcohol is always nice,\" She winked playfully, and Shuichi nodded. \"Alright.\"

The woman nodded and scurried away, only to come back seconds later with a tall glass filled with a foamy beer. As Shuichi rummaged around to find some money, the women shook her head. \"It\'s on the house, love. Don\'t worry. Refills are free too. Enjoy,\"

She smiled, and went back to the bar table. Shuichi stared at his glass. Well...this week has been full of firsts...hasn\'t it.

It was 1 am, and Shuichi still wasn\'t home. Yuki was getting really worried. Recording never was this late. Just as he was about to go look for him, or call Hiroshi, he heard a door swing open, and Shuichi walked in.

\"And where the hell have you been?\"

Shuichi looked up, and shrugged. \"No where special.\"

Yuki went towards Shuichi, and instantly smelled alcohol and smoke emitting from his little lover. He gave Shuichi a questioned look, but Shuichi must of missed it. Shuichi wandered to the couch and yawned. \"Night Yuki,\"

In a matter of seconds, Shuichi was out cold. Yuki frowned. He had no idea what was going through Shuichi\'s head, but he wasn\'t too worried about it. He proabably went out to a party with Hiroshi after recording, he thought. Nothing too bad. Yuki was tempted to curl up with Shuichi, or bring him to his bedroom and change him into pj\'s, but instead he went into his bedroom, cuddled with a pillow, and tried to sleep.. He still hadn\'t figured out anything about his new novel, but his thoughts slowly faded as he fell asleep.
