Chapter Eight
The Price I Pay
Chapter eight:
“I’m the one who gave it to you.”
Tatsuha dropped the phone when he heard those words, his hands shaking as tears filled his eyes. No, it couldn’t be—it couldn’t be true, Ryuu couldn’t have been the one to give him the virus. He just couldn’t.
“Tatsuha…?” Yuki stepped toward his brother, eyebrows furrowed, and expression curious.
“Leave me alone, aniki.” Tatsuha said, backing away from the phone and his brother, thoughts screaming. ‘Ryuu gave it to me? No. NO.’ Tears fell from his eyes—angry tears, frustrated tears, tears he couldn’t keep at bay.
“Tats….”
Suddenly Tatsuha turned around and ran out of the room, through the front door and to his motorcycle. Oblivious to Yuki’s shouts, he turned on the ignition and floored the motorcycle away, out of his brother’s driveway and onto the road.

“Tatsuha?” Ryuu spoke into the cell. “Are you still there, Tats?”
“Ryuu, what’s wrong?” Seguchi heard the worry in the singer’s voice, and that caused him concern.
“Tatsuha won’t answer.” Ryuu bit his lip, still holding onto the cell phone even as no sound came from the other end. Five minutes passed before a voice came through from the other end.
“What did you tell Tatsuha?” Yuki’s angry voice broke through the silence on the phone, shocking Ryuu into almost dropping his cell.
“Yuki-san, what happened to Tats?”
“He rushed out of here, upset—what did you tell him?” Yuki asked again, voice vicious in its anger.
“God…I only told him the truth—that I’m the one who gave him the virus.” Ryuu whimpered into the phone, tears shining in his eyes as he trembled.
“You said what?! You’re the one who….goddamn it all. You had it all this time and you didn’t tell him? Goddamn you.”
“Yuki-san….”
“No, don’t you go near my brother again, understand? He has too much to deal with now and it’s all thanks to you. So don’t you ever go near him again” With that Yuki hung up, leaving Ryuu to listen to the dial tone, tears of shock falling down his cheeks.
-
Tatsuha didn’t care where he headed he just zoomed down the road, oblivious to the traffic around him.
Of all the things Ryuu could’ve said, that was one he hadn’t expected—the singer never once mentioned it before, had never during the past few years even hinted that he might have it.
“Stupid, he could’ve told me before—he should’ve told me before. I would’ve been more careful being his lover. God, why didn’t he tell me before?” Tatsuha zoomed between traffic only barely aware of the cars beside him and in front of him. “Did…did he think I wouldn’t have been with him if I’d known?”
‘God, how stupid could he be? He’s my idol, I wouldn’t have cared. It would’ve been nice to know though.’
Deeply breathing, he calmed his racing heart, realizing why the singer hadn’t told him—and sympathizing with Ryuu. He also knew how hard it must’ve been for the singer to tell him finally, after so many years of silence. How difficult to get up the courage and confess, rather than letting Tatsuha believe a lie.
Without another thought, Tatsuha picked his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number—still oblivious when he ran the red light, heading right into passing traffic.
