Pairings: Yuki x Shuichi, Ryuichi x Shuichi

 

Notes: Nooo! I can’t decide whether I want it to end as a Yuki x Shuichi or a Ryuichi x Shuichi! *flails arms*

 

Misread Circumstances

 

Shuichi stretched and rolled over to face Yuki. Maybe this plan had worked after all. Yuki seemed so protective. Still, Yuki thought that he’d slept with Sakuma-san. He would never do that…would he? Sakuma-san had been so nice to him lately and he’d never intentionally done anything to make him uncomfortable. Now everything was going to be strange. What was he supposed to say? Still…it was Sakuma Ryuichi, perhaps he’d already forgotten about what happened and everything would be normal next time they saw each other.

Shuichi let out a small sigh and stared at Yuki. He looked so pretty when he slept. Of course, he probably wouldn’t appreciate being called pretty, but he was asleep, so it didn’t matter.

Shuichi smiled and shuffled closer to Yuki, trying not to disturb him. After a moment though, Yuki frowned and opened his eyes.

“What are you doing?” he asked gruffly. Shuichi paused. He hadn’t expected nice, protective Yuki to last very long.

For once, however, he was pleasantly surprised. Yuki rolled on his back and reached out, pulling Shuichi closer and slipping an arm around his waist.

“Yuki…” Shuichi mumbled. Yuki that actually wanted to cuddle was very rare.

“Brat,” Yuki replied. Shuichi smiled since he could hear the underlying affectionate tone Yuki used.

 

Ryuichi sighed and knocked on Tohma’s door again.

Finally the door opened and Tohma stepped out.

“What are you doing here?” he asked.

“Tohma! You have to help me!”

Tohma sighed, “Let me get my jacket.”

Ryuichi nodded, hugging Kumagarou tightly as he waited.

Tohma returned quickly and fell into step with the anxious vocalist.

“What’s the problem then?”

“You’ll get angry with me!”

Tohma sighed, “Let’s find somewhere we can sit down and talk.”

 

“Ryuichi…why do I get the feeling I am going to be mad at you?”

Ryuichi hugged Kumagarou and bit his lip, trying to look as innocent as possible.

“You had better tell me then.” Tohma sighed.

Ryuichi took a deep breath but made sure he wasn’t looking directly at Tohma, glancing just over his shoulder.

“I’minlovewithShuichi!” Ryuichi cried suddenly and held Kumagarou up, just in case Tohma felt the need to throw something or beat some sense into him.

Tohma didn’t say anything for a minute until he leaned forward, “This is very bad.”

“I know! I know! Shu-chan loves Yuki-san…not me…”

“You’re just going to have to—”

“How can I make Shu-chan love me?” Ryuichi blurted out before Tohma could finish.

“I was about to say that you have to get over this and forget about it.”

“But Tohma—”

“No.”

“I’d be helping you too.”

Tohma glared at Ryuichi, making his point very clear, before he stood up, “I don’t want to hear about this again.”

“Yes Tohma…”

Ryuichi pouted as Tohma walked away. Generally he would’ve listened to him, but this time is was different.

“I just have to make Shu-chan love me, don’t I Kumagarou?”

 

“I want you to stay here today,” Yuki said before shoving a cigarette in his mouth and reaching for his lighter.

Shuichi blinked, “You do?” he asked, surprise clearly evident in his voice.

“That’s what we’re supposed to do, isn’t it? Spend time together?” Yuki asked, staring over at Shuichi.

Shuichi’s eyes sparkled and he threw himself at Yuki, “Oh you really mean it! I get to spend the whole day with Yuki! We could go somewhere too! We don’t have to stay here aaaalllll day do we Yuki?”

Yuki sighed. He only had to keep Shuichi entertained, which shouldn’t be too difficult. He managed to pull Shuichi off him for a moment, long enough to sit down. Shuichi promptly jumped into his lap though, wrapping his arms around his neck.

“I love you Yuki!” Shuichi beamed.

“I’d noticed,” Yuki replied.
