The Price I Pay: Tatsuha/Ryuuichi version
Chapter Five:
After a twenty minute drive Tatsuha pulled into his brother’s driveway, sighing and taking out the key his brother gave him to housesit while he was out of town. He was about to unlock the door when it opened, startling him to almost jumping back.
“I thought you’d show up.”
“A..Aniki? I thought you were at a book signing out of town…why….?”
“Today’s signing ended early.” Yuki stepped aside to allow his brother in, and closed the door after the younger man entered. “Also…Tohma called me around fifteen minutes ago…it concerned you.”
“Uh…I think I’ll leave now, there’s something I forgot to do….”
“I’d say there’s plenty you forgot to do.” Yuki glared at Tatsuha. “When were you planning on telling me or Mika about your HIV? You know my cell-phone number; you could’ve called me anytime during the past three days.”
“Well, I…I didn’t think about that…I….”
“You didn’t think about telling someone? You didn’t think about telling anyone? Not even family? Tatsuha….”
“I…It’s just…I’ve been worried about how I would tell Ryuu….I was planning on doing so today, but Seguchi showed up and….”
“....ah….” Yuki breathed. “I completely forgot about you being with that singer…shit….”
“What am I gonna do, aniki? I need to tell Ryuu, but then Tohma will find out…and how do you tell someone something like that?”
“Simple…if you don’t tell that singer, I will tell Tohma—by tomorrow.” Yuki paused and placed his hand on his forehead, massaging away a headache. “And don’t worry about telling Mika…Tohma already has….”
“So by the end of the day everyone in the family will know….shit…they’re gonna give me a lecture just like Seguchi….”
“Maybe not—Tohma didn’t tell Mika how long you’ve known…so the rest of the family won’t know you waited three days to say anything.” Yuki walked into the dining room and sat down at a chair with a cup of coffee on the table in front of it. “Come sit down. I made fresh coffee while I was waiting for you to show up.”
“…How did you know I would come here?” Tatsuha asked as he stepped into the dining room.
“Tats, you always come to my place when you want no one to look for you…especially when I’m supposed to be out of town.” Yuki watched as Tatsuha skipped the coffee, opened the fridge and took out a can of beer. “You drove here, you shouldn’t drink. Especially since you still have to tell Sakuma about your HIV.”
“I just want to get plastered.” Tatsuha paused, looking into the fridge to hide his slight tremble. “God…I just turned nineteen three months ago…I shouldn’t have to….”
Suddenly he felt Yuki’s hand on his shoulder—he shifted his gaze to stare into his older brother’s eyes, surprised to see the worry in the light brown orbs.
“I know you shouldn’t have to deal with this, Tats.”
“God…I’m so stupid! I should’ve thought of this before—” Tatsuha cursed, trembling and feeling like hitting something to relieve his stress. “I should’ve been more careful…I…now Ryuu could….” ‘I’m nineteen fuckin years old, I shouldn’t have to deal with having HIV…I shouldn’t…And Ryuu might have it too now…god…I don’t know what’s worse….’
“Tatsuha, come sit down and relax.”
A/N: End Chapter, short yes, but at least I finally updated this story. YAY! I updated! YAY! I have Wednesday and Friday off this week—so I can update more! I hate work, especially work that deals with food…I can’t wait until I find some job where I can write all day—I’d be able to do that all day every day…trouble is, I’m too lazy to look for work…aw well, at least I can write fanfics forever….
