Misread Circumstances


"Ryuichi!" Shuichi called. Ryuichi spotted him and bounded over.
Shuichi smiled and dragged Ryuichi into an empty room.
"What is it Shu-chan?" Ryuichi asked sweetly. Shuichi giggled.
"Guess what!"
"Ooo Shuichi has a secret Kumagarou!" Ryuichi cried and held up the pink bunny to Shuichi.
"You can't tell anyone okay? Promise?"
"We promise."
"Good. I went home last night and Yuki saw the bracelet you got me."
"Did he like it? Ryuichi picked it out all by himself," Kumagarou said excitedly.
"Well...ummm...that's not the point! But I have the best idea but you have to help me."
Ryuichi giggled, "We get to be part of Shu-chan's secret Kumagarou!"
Shuichi touched the bracelet around his wrist lightly, "You have to pretend you like me Ryuichi."
"But I do like you!"
"No...not like that. You have to pretend to _like_ me."
Ryuichi looked at him with a puzzled expression on his face before slowly beginning to smile, "Shu-chan! That's mean!" he laughed, "But I like it. What do I have to do?"
Shuichi backed away slightly from the slightly scary look Ryuichi was giving him.
"Umm...well..."
"Don't worry! I have it _all_ figured out. You want to make Yuki jealous so that he shows you he loves you. I know just what to do!"
"Yes! That's exactly right! You're so smart Sakuma-san!"
Ryuichi beamed proudly and grabbed Shuichi's hand, dragging him to his feet.
"C'mon. We can start now. Let's go back to your place. You can change and we'll go to lunch at a really fancy restaurant. I'll leave Kumagarou with Tohma, he won't mind!"


"Just go in and change. Don't say anything except that you are going out with me okay?"
"But Ryuichi..."
"Go on Shu-chan! It'll be okay. It's for Yuki's own good."
"I suppose..."
"Go on! Wear something nice too, k? Try look happy too!"
With a swift shove, Shuichi was closer to the door of Yuki's apartment. He fiddled with his keys for a moment before unlocking the door. He glanced back at Ryuichi, who was leaning against the wall with a cool air or sophistication surrounding him. It was times like these Shuichi had to remind himself how hyperactive and kawaii Sakuma-san generally was.
Shuichi bit back the words that were trying to erupt from his mouth, mainly 'Yuki!'
He hurried into the room and found himself something to wear. Ryuichi said nice, what did nice mean though? He only had preforming nice.
There was a slight cough from the doorway and Shuichi spun around. Yuki glared at him, cigarette in one hand and one of those imported beers in the other.
"What are you doing back so early?"
Shuichi stared at Yuki for a moment before spinning back around, facing away from him. He had to resist the urge to throw himself at the author, he just had to! Otherwise, the plan would be ruined.
"I---I um...I'm going to lunch with Ryuichi. I needed to get changed."
Yuki said nothing for a moment and everything was uncomfortably silent. Shuichi gave a startled jump when Yuki spun him around. Had he been paying that little attention? No...Yuki was just really quiet!
Shuichi felt his knees beginning to give way as he stared up into those piercing amber eyes. He glanced away, desperately searching for the power to go through with this.
Yuki's hand shifted from his shoulder to his face. He tipped Shuichi's head up and kissed him. Shuichi shuddered; Yuki knew how to get to him. He tried his very best to stay almost unresponsive, thought it didn't work very well. Yuki pulled away slowly, running his thumb over Shuichi's lips before turning and leaving the room again.
Shuichi let out a wistful sigh before continuing to get ready for lunch with Ryuichi.


"What took you so long?!" Ryuichi asked, pouncing on Shuichi as he exited the apartment.
"Ryuichi! It was so hard!" Shuichi cried as he glomped onto his friend.
Ryuichi just smiled and patted Shuichi's back, "I know, I know."
Shuichi stared up at Ryuichi through long lashed eyes. Ryuichi smiled at him warmly before dragging him towards the elevator.
"Let's go. I promise you'll have a good time! Yuki will be so jealous."
