Thanks to the people who reviewed for chapter 4, and as promised, this chapter is dedicated to you guys (I got more than my goal of 5 reviews for ch4!!). A reviewer suggested I put up yukixshuxryu in my summary, so I did! I will take many of my reviewers suggestions and consider them, so review please!!
Sorry for the long delay, but I wouldn’t post this at 1500 words. I was thinking it’s too little since my other chapters were 3000+ words. So once again, SORRY!!
This chapter is for people who reviewed for chapter 4.
Since I can’t seem to get italics to appear, I’ll capitalize parts that are supposed to be.
Chapter 5: Sleepless
Yuki frowned at the small form in his arms clinging to him, crying. What did they do to him?! Sure, he didn’t visit Shuichi for the past couple months even after Ryuichi’s concert, but that was because his editor, Mizuki, was out for his blood if he didn’t complete his next chapter.
Shuichi was shaking. He could still imagine the cruel smiles and lustful eyes of men leaning over him and violating him violently, whispering poisonous words into his ears. He shivered, pulling at Yuki’s shirt harder, and nuzzling deeper into the smooth chest.
Yuki sighed. “Would you stop trying to melt into me?” Shuichi didn’t answer, he sniffed. “Yuki, don’t leave, let me hold on…just a little longer…”
Shuichi hadn’t been able to sleep the past weeks. He had nightmares every time he closed his eyes when his body was about to shut down from the torment it went through. Then Yuki came back. As much as he was happy to see him, that didn’t mean other customers stopped coming for him. But it was nice that Yuki’s back- he can have a break from abuse whenever Yuki bought him. He smiled, which was strange considering the state he was in.
Yuki closed his eyes and relaxed. He did, in fact, want to see this boy during the time he was gone. Shuichi shifted in his arms, causing Yuki to move as well to better accommodate him. “Yuki, do you love me?”
Yuki started. Did he? Well he knew he was at least a little bit attracted to the child. But love…? He was about to say that he’d never love anyone, when Shuichi got up to kneel before him so he could look Yuki in the eyes while he answered. Shuichi’s eyes were sad- beyond sad actually. The previously glowing happiness in them dissolved into dull, unpolished amethyst, if it could even be described with the name of a jewel. No they can’t, Yuki thought. They were no longer twin orbs of amethysts, Shuichi’s eyes are just dark purple now. Sadness, loneliness…Yuki was sure Shuichi was experiencing all negative emotions right now. No, he can’t destroy the boy even more by answering in the negative.
“…I like…you…”
Shuichi didn’t say anything yet. He just looked down, disappointed. He loved this man though! But of course Yuki wouldn’t like him. Yuki’s famous, he’s handsome, rich, smart, and he has everything that a mate would want, why would Yuki choose him?! Silent tears ran down his round cheeks.
Yuki was surprised that Shuichi didn’t come up with anything to yell at him with. He couldn’t see those tears- Shuichi’s head was down. What was there to say? He could get rid of the brat anytime he felt like- all he had to do was stop coming to this place, stop paying for him. But he hasn’t done that yet. Why? Yuki really didn’t know. Maybe he did love Shuichi? THAT’S NOT POSSIBLE, he thought. I CAN NEVER LOVE AGAIN, NOT AFTER THAT. Shuichi brought himself off his knees and stood. He didn’t want Yuki to see his tear-streaked face. Shuichi felt absolutely disgusting in the presence of Yuki, who always appeared to be clean.
He headed towards the door, only draped in the towel he brought out after showering and sitting with Yuki. “I’m going now, I’ll see you next time.”
“Wait-“
The door slammed shut, the echo resonating in the strangely quiet room. Yuki narrowed his eyes in anger. What made the kid think he could leave, he was never dismissed! And what makes him think that he’s so special that he’d be paid for by Yuki once again? Yuki seethed.
---------------
Shuichi hurried down the corridors, finally bringing himself to the door of Tatsuha’s room. He knocked in quick raps.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BA-
The door flew open, revealing a Tatsuha who was just in the middle of servicing a client. He was about to scream- his mouth already in the shape of the first word- at his guest until he saw who it was.
“Shu?” Tatsuha’s face scrunched up in worry, taking in the enormously swollen eyes. “Never mind, come in first, I’m almost done here.” Tatsuha moved aside, waiting for Shuichi to go in, which wasn’t long considering this was what he came for.
The man that was Tat’s client didn’t seem to mind what was going on outside, or that someone else was brought in.
Shuichi sat down on the couch, watching Tatsuha get back to his job, occasionally blushing and realized that he was being a voyeur. The man was of European descent, pretty hot too. Dark brown hair clung to the neck, as he moved his hands over his chest and moaned as Tatsuha pushed into him. He moaned with a higher voice than Shuichi thought he would have possessed.
Tatsuha groaned when the passage his penis was stuck in suddenly tightened as hot white ‘milk’ sprung from the tip of the one under him, he came soon after.
--------------
“Shu, what’s wrong?” Tatsuha had just finished wiping off the mess covering him and motioned for Shuichi to join him on the bed. Shuichi complied, but blushed once again when his hand touched sticky something on the bedsheets. Then any traces of embarrassment faded as the question reached his ears, tears made their way to his eyes once again. He covered his face with his hands and sobbed.
“Your brother!”
Tat frowned. “What about Eiri? Did he hurt you?”
Shuichi shook his head rapidly. “No! It’s just…” Shuichi told him how he felt when he asked if he was loved by Yuki, the desperation he felt needing to know that someone loved him, only to have that dream shattered.
“My brother was never good at expressing his feelings, I’ll tell you that.” He didn’t know idea how to comfort his friend, that’s a job for Hiro- whose existence he learnt about from said friend.
“But…I feel so…inferior…when I thought about how much Yuki deserves someone better, not a prostitute! Yuki had many girlfriends and boyfriends before, all of them were all good people! They were famous. But I’m…”
Tatsuha waited for the end of Shuichi’s rant.
Tears had finally allowed themselves to freely find their ways to his chin as Shuichi finally concluded in a whisper, “But I’m…nobody…” He closed his eyes at the confession, his chest clenching in pain. Sobs wracked through his petit frame when arms found their way around him.
“Shu, you aren’t nobody…” How could he even think that! Shuichi is pure and kind, unlike those snobby, good-for-nothing celebrities Shuichi mentioned. Tatsuha’s seethed. Why would he feel that way? “Shu, just because they are famous, doesn’t mean they’re good people. Just because you aren’t as famous, doesn’t make you a bad person either.” Tatsuha chastised him gently for even daring to think that way.
“Really? You’re being honest…right?” Shuichi looked behind him at the guy comforting him. He had lost all confidence as he was here- destroyed by the lusty monsters that called themselves human.
Shuichi rested his head on Tatsuha’s shoulder, feeling slightly better when he told him he’s not bad either, he sniffed.
“Shuichi, lie down. Sleep here tonight.” Shuichi nodded, slowly lowering his body until it met soft, 600 thread count sheets. “Good night,” he whispered, and closed his eyes.
Tatsuha lay awake long after Shuichi had fallen asleep. He didn’t know what he could do to ease his friend’s pain. This kind of frustration made him want to rip his hair out. He glared at the ceiling, expecting it to give him an answer on what he should do. When it didn’t, he flipped over, disappointed, to Shuichi’s sleeping form.
The moonlight shining on Shuichi accentuated his smooth features. It made him look…ethereal. But Shuichi always looked like an angel, with or without the moon, and asleep or not.
---------------
The next day came around, the sun sat proudly in the afternoon sky, overlooking all those below it. Tatsuha was one of those it overlooked. He was watching Shuichi miserably blow his nose so full of snot from the previous night’s share of crying.
Shuichi fed another tissue to the garbage before grabbing yet another one and started assaulting it. Tatsuha was just staring at him, amused. It irritated Shuichi to no end, and at the same time, unnerved him. What’s so interesting about a guy so miserably clearing their stuffed nose?
Tatsuha spoke. “You sure have a lot of snot packed in such a small nose.”
Shuichi flushed and was going to retort, when something stirred inside his nose. He sneezed before Tatsuha.
HAAA…CHOO!!
Shuichi closed his eyes as strings of STUFF flew out of his nose. He didn’t see where they landed. He was just glad to be free of it now. Using the tissue already in his hand, he wiped off a little moisture from his nose, and wiped off saliva on the edges of his lips. He finally opened his eyes after cleaning off.
The first thing he saw was a really pissed Tatsuha. He was about to ask what made him so mad, when he noticed multiple strings of still-wet snot clinging to his face. It was from him, he realized. Shuichi knew he was supposed to be afraid of Tatsuha pummeling him, but strangely enough, he wasn’t. A giggle left his lips. Tatsuha’s snot-covered twitching eyebrow made a fit of small laughs leave him. Tatsuha twisted his mouth upwards into a half scowl, and also grimacing at the mess at him. The expression sent Shuichi over the edge.
He burst into laughter, rolling over and clutching at his stomach as it started to ache.
Tatsuha blinked as he watched Shuichi howling happily. True, Tatsuha was angry- and shocked- when he got covered. He planned on scaring poor Shu when he finished cleaning off after sneezing for dramatic effects. But seeing Shuichi like this, it was as if he’s staring at two different people- the frightened, sobbing Shuichi of yesterday and this laughing, maniacal…thing right now. He didn’t have to even think, he prefers this Shuichi. He’ll let Shuichi go this time. He rid his face of the stuff and waited for Shu to calm down, he already started.
The loud laughter faded back into giggles, and eventually died off. Now what? Tatsuha didn’t hit him, and is instead…holding out a hand and helping him up?
Shuichi accepted the hand, and stood. “Glad to see you back to normal.” And Shuichi completely understood what Tatsuha meant by that. He smiled, “See you later, ok?” Tatsuha led him to the door, holding it open for him. “Come to me anytime, okay, Shuichi?”
“Of course.” The door closed.
---------------
Shuichi skipped back to his room, feeling physically a lot lighter than yesterday. He shoved the key in and twisted, swinging the door open, completely not prepared for who waited inside.
“Y-Y-Y-Yuki?” Shuichi looked at the man he poured tears over last night, his eyes wide and unbelieving. Yuki stared back. There was no anger in those eyes he loved so much, Shuichi realized, and breathed a sigh of relief. Yuki’s face was still indifferent as Shuichi calmed his nerves.
GOOD THING I DIDN’T WAIT UNTIL I GOT BACK TO BLOW MY NOSE! Seconds passed, turning to minutes. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HORRENDOUSLY DIGUSTING! Neither moved. An eternity moved by without either knowing, all they saw were each other.
Finally, Yuki ended the eye contact, and strode over to tower over the boy. He simply couldn’t understand what happened last night with Shuichi. He could say he loved him, but not out loud. Yuki could also safely say that he’s never felt this way before. Is this how love feels?
WHATEVER, he decided, and swooped down to claim the enticing strawberry lips. Heck, Yuki didn’t like strawberries before he met Shuichi, but after…
Shuichi’s eyes widen, if that was possible. A kiss, how unexpected! Then he realized. A KISS FROM YUKI! I’M SO HAPPY! Shuichi stayed still, letting Yuki plunder and lick his tongue and trace his teeth with the thick muscle of a tongue Shuichi had gotten used to.
Yuki let his eyes fall shut in perfect bliss. He had missed this touch tremendously last night, especially since they had parted on sour terms. He felt Shuichi finally shift and break away for precious air. He needed it too. The two lovers panted together.
Shuichi realized how much happier he was at seeing Yuki. Even when he feels lonely and suicidal, his presence made the effort of living through that period worth it. “Yuki… I need you…”
RING!!
Shuichi pouted. Way to ruin the moment! He patiently waited for Yuki to pick up. Instead, he glared at the phone. But this person isn’t going to give up if he ignores it. “What?” he snaps into the receiver.
“Eiri, I was worried about you! You weren’t at home when I went to visit!” Strangely enough, Tohma doesn’t sound as cheerful as he should. PROBABLY THE LOST BRAT, he decided.
“I don’t need you, Tohma. Don’t come to my house to check up on me.” Yuki kept his voice monotonous throughout the sentence and hung up. Normal people would be at least a little worried about their house being broken into by obsessed relatives, of course, Yuki isn’t the average person. That’s how he kept his level head to deal with Tohma.
Yuki tosses his cell to the side, and turned his attention back to Shuichi, who was fidgeting against the wall. BUT WHAT FOR? Yuki wondered. THIS IS HIS ROOM, SO WHY DOES HE LOOK SO… UNSURE? Shuichi peered at him from beneath his pink bangs curiously. Nervously, he inched closer until he was directly in front of Yuki. Clearing his throat, he shyly asked, “Who was that?”
“Just Tohma,” Yuki paused, Shu wouldn’t know him, would he? So he added, “that’s my brother-in-law.”
“Hmm?” Shuichi cocked his head to the side, when something snapped in him. “Tohma?! Seguchi Tohma?!” It has to be! Please let it be!
Yuki was genuinely surprised. “You know my brother-in-law?”
Shuichi squealed in delight. “He’s my adoptive daddy!!!”
Yuki blinked, so he IS the lost brat! Then he was pleased. If so, then getting Shuichi out will be possible. Shu tugged at his sleeve, all nervousness forgotten. All Yuki could see now was the anticipation welling in those vibrant amethysts. “Yuki…could you call home? I really want to hear their voices.”
Yuki abruptly turned away. “No, I’m not calling Tohma, for anyone.”
Shuichi jumped on his lover. “But Yuukkkiiiiiiii!” How could he do this! He finally found someone related, when…related? Tatsuha!
“Yuki… didn’t you lose your little brother? Then you should know how I feel!”
“How did,”
“Tatsuha works here.”
Yuki stared in shock. Tatsuha became a prostitute after leaving?! Yes, Yuki knew how it feels to suddenly having to face the reality of losing a loved one. He grabbed his cell phone and gave the command of calling Tohma’s home number. It was picked up on the first ring. An extremely worn out voice answered.
“Hello?”
“Are you Hiro?” Shuichi filled with happiness at hearing his ‘brother’s’ voice.
He made an affirmative noise.
“Good, Shuichi’s with me right now, Icha Icha Paradise. Do you want to-
“PUT HIM ON! RIGHT NOW!” Shuichi yanked the phone from the hands of the taller man. “Hiro!!”
“Shu…” Tears welled up in his eyes as he heard his best friends voice for the first time in months.
Shuichi could hear background noises and a worried ‘why are you crying Hiro?’
“Suguru!”
Half way across the town, Suguru couldn’t believe Shuichi was still alive. “Shuichi?”
“Hai, and could you guys give me your phone numbers? I’m going to store it in my phone. Mine is 905-837-9090 (made up).”
--------------
Shuichi sighed happily after hanging up. Today was by far the best day since meeting Yuki. The phone is still sitting in his hands when he remembers, Yuki! The man had fallen asleep when the talk they had for the past two hours didn’t concern him at all.
Shuichi smiled gently and placed the phone on the nightstand. He crawled over to Yuki side and pulled off his jacket, dress shirt, and pants, leaving him in only his briefs. It was 2 o’clock now, and the sun hung high. Shuichi drew the curtains back, letting the sunlight shine one Yuki. Maybe Yuki will tan this way, he giggled and tucked himself in bed with him.
--------------
At midnight now, outside the building where a blond and pink head were peacefully slumbering, a tall man walked by. He was clad in dark clothes. But one could clearly see long silky blond hair peeking out from the hat he was wearing. He craned his head to get a look at the top of the building. IT’S SO TALL IT’S A SKYSCRAPER!! K thought. Then he whispers to no one but himself to hear, “It’s this building, I finally found you.”
He continues his midnight stroll down the lonely street, the dark finally swallowing him.
TOMORROW, I’LL COME FOR YOU…
--------------
END OF CHAPTER FIVE
Again, sorry for the long delay.
I’m really wondering, does it bother you that I’m gay? I’ve mentioned that I’m a guy before, in this story. I’ve been called a fag by a private messager recently. They told me that I should hire a whore if I like dicks (up my ass) that much. I DO meet the occasional homophobic, but still…I guess it’s pointless to ask this in a yaoi fanfic though…
One of the stories I read, Hitman from the anime Naruto, asked people to rate his/her story. I thought that was a really good idea! So:
Rate 1- the lowest to 5- the highest (include .5s –like 4.5 if you want) for… add some comments after each rating plz! Don’t just provide me a number for me to figure out why I got it…
a) Characters
b) Storyline
c) Summary
d) Spelling and grammar (author’s notes don’t count of course)
e) Writing style
f) Anything else you want to add, like, are my lemons good enough?!
g) Overall story
…in your reviews this time, I really want to know what you guys think! Include other comments too!
Remember, I take anonymous reviews too.
Next chapter: Contact with Shuichi and K. Ryuichi comes back from his tour, and can’t wait to visit his Shuichi again.
Just to tell you, I’m absolutely TIRED of trying to get the chapter titles to go with episode titles from Loveless. It’s just TOO HARD!! So next chapter, don’t expect the title ending with ‘less’, okay?
If you want, next chapter will be dedicated to reviewers of this chapter.
absolute-ecstasy

“I don’t need you, Tohma. Don’t come to my house to check up on me.” Yuki kept his voice monotonous throughout the sentence and hung up. Normal people would be at least a little worried about their house being broken into by obsessed relatives, of course, Yuki isn’t the average person. That’s how he kept his level head to deal with Tohma.
Yuki tosses his cell to the side, and turned his attention back to Shuichi, who was fidgeting against the wall. BUT WHAT FOR? Yuki wondered. THIS IS HIS ROOM, SO WHY DOES HE LOOK SO… UNSURE? Shuichi peered at him from beneath his pink bangs curiously. Nervously, he inched closer until he was directly in front of Yuki. Clearing his throat, he shyly asked, “Who was that?”
“Just Tohma,” Yuki paused, Shu wouldn’t know him, would he? So he added, “that’s my brother-in-law.”
“Hmm?” Shuichi cocked his head to the side, when something snapped in him. “Tohma?! Seguchi Tohma?!” It has to be! Please let it be!
Yuki was genuinely surprised. “You know my brother-in-law?”
Shuichi squealed in delight. “He’s my adoptive daddy!!!”
Yuki blinked, so he IS the lost brat! Then he was pleased. If so, then getting Shuichi out will be possible. Shu tugged at his sleeve, all nervousness forgotten. All Yuki could see now was the anticipation welling in those vibrant amethysts. “Yuki…could you call home? I really want to hear their voices.”
Yuki abruptly turned away. “No, I’m not calling Tohma, for anyone.”
Shuichi jumped on his lover. “But Yuukkkiiiiiiii!” How could he do this! He finally found someone related, when…related? Tatsuha!
“Yuki… didn’t you lose your little brother? Then you should know how I feel!”
“How did,”
“Tatsuha works here.”
Yuki stared in shock. Tatsuha became a prostitute after leaving?! Yes, Yuki knew how it feels to suddenly having to face the reality of losing a loved one. He grabbed his cell phone and gave the command of calling Tohma’s home number. It was picked up on the first ring. An extremely worn out voice answered.
“Hello?”
“Are you Hiro?” Shuichi filled with happiness at hearing his ‘brother’s’ voice.
He made an affirmative noise.
“Good, Shuichi’s with me right now, Icha Icha Paradise. Do you want to-
“PUT HIM ON! RIGHT NOW!” Shuichi yanked the phone from the hands of the taller man. “Hiro!!”
“Shu…” Tears welled up in his eyes as he heard his best friends voice for the first time in months.
Shuichi could hear background noises and a worried ‘why are you crying Hiro?’
“Suguru!”
Half way across the town, Suguru couldn’t believe Shuichi was still alive. “Shuichi?”
“Hai, and could you guys give me your phone numbers? I’m going to store it in my phone. Mine is 905-837-9090 (made up).”
--------------
Shuichi sighed happily after hanging up. Today was by far the best day since meeting Yuki. The phone is still sitting in his hands when he remembers, Yuki! The man had fallen asleep when the talk they had for the past two hours didn’t concern him at all.
Shuichi smiled gently and placed the phone on the nightstand. He crawled over to Yuki side and pulled off his jacket, dress shirt, and pants, leaving him in only his briefs. It was 2 o’clock now, and the sun hung high. Shuichi drew the curtains back, letting the sunlight shine one Yuki. Maybe Yuki will tan this way, he giggled and tucked himself in bed with him.
--------------
At midnight now, outside the building where a blond and pink head were peacefully slumbering, a tall man walked by. He was clad in dark clothes. But one could clearly see long silky blond hair peeking out from the hat he was wearing. He craned his head to get a look at the top of the building. IT’S SO TALL IT’S A SKYSCRAPER!! K thought. Then he whispers to no one but himself to hear, “It’s this building, I finally found you.”
He continues his midnight stroll down the lonely street, the dark finally swallowing him.
TOMORROW, I’LL COME FOR YOU…

END OF CHAPTER FIVE
Again, sorry for the long delay.
I’m really wondering, does it bother you that I’m gay? I’ve mentioned that I’m a guy before, in this story. I’ve been called a fag by a private messager recently. They told me that I should hire a whore if I like dicks (up my ass) that much. I DO meet the occasional homophobic, but still…I guess it’s pointless to ask this in a yaoi fanfic though…
One of the stories I read, Hitman from the anime Naruto, asked people to rate his/her story. I thought that was a really good idea! So:
Rate 1- the lowest to 5- the highest (include .5s –like 4.5 if you want) for… add some comments after each rating plz! Don’t just provide me a number for me to figure out why I got it…
a) Characters
b) Storyline
c) Summary
d) Spelling and grammar (author’s notes don’t count of course)
e) Writing style
f) Anything else you want to add, like, are my lemons good enough?!
g) Overall story
…in your reviews this time, I really want to know what you guys think! Include other comments too!
Remember, I take anonymous reviews too.
Next chapter: Contact with Shuichi and K. Ryuichi comes back from his tour, and can’t wait to visit his Shuichi again.
Just to tell you, I’m absolutely TIRED of trying to get the chapter titles to go with episode titles from Loveless. It’s just TOO HARD!! So next chapter, don’t expect the title ending with ‘less’, okay?
If you want, next chapter will be dedicated to reviewers of this chapter.
