Shuichi entered the NG Studios, and was greeted by Hiroshi, Suguru and Sakano.

\"Shuichi! Oh thank goodness you\'re back!!\" Sakano squealed as he hugged his long lost vocalist. Suguru smiled, but Hiroshi merely stared at his best friend.

\"Yeah, er sorry. I\'ve been quite sick, and I thought I asked Yuki to call, but obviously he didn\'t...\" Shuichi managed a smile, as Sakano escorted him to his office. Suguru looked at Hiroshi as Shuichi and Sakano disappeared.

\"You don\'t look too thrilled, Nakano,\" He noted, trying to figure out the older man. Hiroshi looked at Suguru.

\"There\'s something wrong.\" Hiroshi looked away as he entered Sakano\'s office, and Suguru followed, quite confused. Sakano and Shuichi were sitting at his desk with K, who was twirling his gun around his index finger. Shuichi was weakly smiling, talking to K about new lyrics.

\"The new cd is planned to be released quite soon Shuichi. You up to writing lyrics, and fast? Not to mention, making them good?\"

Shuichi nodded. \"I can do it.\"

K smiled, as they continued their conversation. Suguru would occasionally peep in with his opinion, while Hiroshi kept quiet. No one seemed to notice except Shuichi, who would occasionally look in his brown eyes. After about an hour, the group decided to give Shuichi a month or so to write songs for the new album, and to get Suguru and Hiroshi plenty of time to get the tune perfected. As Shuichi walked out of the studio, Hiroshi stopped him.

\"Hey Hiro!\" Shuichi smiled, but the only response he got from Hiroshi was him crossing his arms. \"Hiro?\"

Hiro shook his head, and then took his best friend\'s hand.

\"We need to talk, Shuichi Shindou.\"

Shuichi\'s heart yet again stopped. It had only been a mere three weeks since Yuki said those exact words. He looked at the ground, and nodded. Hiroshi led him to the parking lot, and Shuichi saw Yuki waiting. Before Shuichi could tell Yuki anything, Hiroshi stepped in. \"Shuichi is going to hang with me for a bit, Eiri-san. I\'ll make sure to get home before bedtime,\"

Hiroshi winked playfully to Yuki, and began walking away. Yuki gave Shuichi a weak smile, as he got back into his car and drove away. Shuichi soon broke the contact with Hiroshi, and merely walked behind him. They soon came to a park bench, and Hiroshi sat down. \"Sit, Shuichi.\"

Shuichi did as he was told, and he hugged his knees. \"There is something wrong Shuichi. It\'s not like you to disappear for weeks at a time, and especially to not tell anyone. And you\'re not...you. Talk to me?\"

Shuichi shook his head, trying to hold back tears. He felt Hiroshi brush his pink hair back, and he cupped his face like Yuki did. Hiroshi looked at Shuichi\'s face, then look away. \"Alright Shuichi. I hope this secret is important.\"

Hiroshi got up and was about to walk away, when he heard Shuichi speak.

\"Hiro...\" Shuichi whispered. Hiroshi turned around and saw Shuichi beginning to cry. Hiroshi immediatly sat back down and let his best friend curl into his side.

\"Shuichi, can you please tell me whats wrong? Or at least if you\'re going to be okay?\"

\"I don\'t know...I don\'t know anything anymore...\"

Hiroshi had never seen his best friend so broken before. Not even when Yuki would break up with him every two weeks in the beginning of their relationship. But that was a long time ago. He knew that Yuki and Shuichi were steady, and everything seemed okay between them... \"Does it have to do with Eiri-san?\"

Shuichi merely nodded, and continued to curl into Hiroshi. Hiroshi just sat their, not questioning him anymore. He just comforted his best friend, wondering what in the world Yuki could of done this time to hurt Shuichi so. A few feet away, a young girl quickly jotted down notes on a pad of paper, smiling.

A few days passed, and Shuichi was slowly returning to his bubbly self. Yuki climbed out of the shower, quickly drying off. He walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist, and looked around trying to spot Shuichi. He found him rummaging through the mail, looking for something.

\"It...can\'t...be...true!\" Shuichi spat as he picked up a magazine in anger. Yuki looked at his lover, and tried to see what he was so angry about. Shuichi\'s eye brimmed with tears, and he looked at Yuki. He then threw the magazine on the floor, and stormed into the bedroom. Yuki approached the magazine, and picked it up. It was the latest edition of Rockstar Weekly!, and he gasped as he saw the front page headline.

Does Eiri Yuki still love Shuichi Shindou? New information stuns fans!

Yuki\'s hand began to shake, as he flipped to the article.

Late Monday afternoon, Shuichi Shindou, lead vocalist of Bad Luck, and Hiroshi Nakano, guitarist of Bad Luck, were spotted on a local park bench. Shindou was in tears as his friend comforted him, as Shindou told Nakano about his troubles with his and Eiri Yuki\'s relationship. Has all hell finally broke loose?

The article continued on with some obvious flaws with their relationship, and Yuki, like Shuichi, threw the magazine on the ground. He threw on a pair of pants as he tried getting into the bedroom, but it was locked.

\"Let me in!\" No answer. Yuki began pounding on the door. \"Let me in!\"

There was a long silence, and then Yuki heard a whimper. His heart raced. \"LET ME IN!\"

Yuki finally managed to bust the door open, and ran in. At first, he didn\'t see Shuichi, but then he spotted him between the bed and the wall. He was cradling his arm. Yuki ran to his side and saw his letter opener a few feet away from Shuichi. Yuki looked back at Shuichi, who was trying very hard to hide his arm. Yuki pulled his lover into a hug, and then removed Shuichi\'s hand from his chest to see the cut. It was fairly long, and very thin. It was not as deep as the other cuts, as it did not bleed so freely. Yuki sighed, and looked at Shuichi. He was looking down, face hidden. Yuki pulled him up, and brought him to the bathroom, where he washed Shuichi\'s cut. The entire time Yuki was attending to him, Shuichi kept quiet, and his face low. Yuki noticed this, and after he bandaged his arm, he pulled Shuichi into a kiss. Shuichi barely responded at first, but as the kiss grew, so did Shuichi\'s confidence. Yuki then broke away, took Shuichi\'s hand, and brought him to the couch. He let Shuichi lay ontop of him, as Yuki stroked his hair. Shuichi began to shake, and Yuki heard him sobbing. He let his lover cry, and just continued to stroke his hair. With his other hand, he got his cell phone, making sure not to disturb Shuichi. He began dialing a number, but Shuichi got up and looked at him before he finished dialing.

\"W-who are y-you calling, Y-Yuki?\" He sputtered. Yuki continued stroking his hair.

\"I\'m going to call a therapist. You need help-\"

As soon as Shuichi heard therapist, his eyes got bigger than they usually were, and he knocked the cellphone out of Yuki\'s hands. Yuki jumped at the action, and gave Shuichi a concerned look. \"You need help. Seriously. I\'m not going to let you slowly fade away from existence because of us.\"

Shuichi shook his head. \"The press will have a hay day with finding out that I have gotten a therapist!\"

Yuki sighed. \"Then what do you suppose we do?\"

Shuichi layed back down on Yuki\'s lap, and a long silence came. After a while, Shuichi whispered something. \"I don\'t know...\"
