What Hurts The Most

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house

That don't bother me…

Yuki…

Shuichi lay awake. It was rainng and Shuichi could feel the emptiness of the house. He was remembering…

Whenever it rained it would become cold and Shuichi would snuggle up to Yuki.

Flashback- " Get off baka," Yuki growled pushing Shuichi away from him.

" But Yuki… I'm cold," Shuichi said, shivering.

Yuki saw that Shuichi really was cold.

He sighed and pulled Shuichi against him.

"Arigato Yuki," Shuichi murmured.

End flashback

I can take a few tears now and then

And just let them out

Yuki…

Tears slipped out of the corners of Shuichi's eyes.

I'm not afraid to cry

Every once in a while

Even though goin on with you gone still upsets me

"Shuichi…" Hiro said as Shuichi began to cry.

They were in a bar. It had been hard convincing Shuichi to come. Hiro had thought it'd be good for the singer to go out but now…

"I'm sorry Hiro," Shuichi said trying to stop the tears.

It's okay," Hiro said.

It's okay," he repeated, hugging his best friend.

There are days every now and again

I pretend I'm okay

But that's not what gets me

The phone rang.

Hiro answered.

"Hello."

"Hi Hiro, "Shuichi said faux-happily.

"Shuichi?" Hiro asked surprised. Shuichi hadn't called since the accident.

"Let's go for ice-cream," Shuichi said in that fake voice.

"Now?" Hiro asked.

"Of course, silly" Shuichi said.

"Are you sure… are you okay?" Hiro asked, worriedly.

"Of course. Let's go to The Ice-Cream Shoppe," Shuichi said, sounding like his old self but Hiro could hear the desperate undercurrent in his voice.

"Okay," Hiro said. Anything to help his best friend.

When he got to the shop Shuichi was already there. He was staring at a strawberry mint ice-cream in a cone. Hiro was surprised. Shuichi always got a mixture of flavours.

As if reading Hiro's mind Shuichi looked up.

"Yuki…Yuki always got a strawberry mint. It was his favorite," he said smiling brightly, although there were tears running down his cheeks.

"Shuichi…" Hiro said at a loss for words.

But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most

Was being so close

Flashback- "Yuki, I'm sorry," Shuichi said reaching out.

And having so much to say

The words that Shuichi wanted to say would not come.

And watching you walk away

Shuichi followed Yuki after watching him walk away. He tried to figure out how to say what he wanted to.

And never knowing

"Yuki! Watch out!" Shuichi yelled at Yuki as the car was about to hit him.

Yuki looked up in surprise.

SCREECH!

Yuki's body flew into the air as the car hit him.

What could have been.

"Yuki!" Shuichi screamed.

And not seeing that loving you…

Shuichi ran to Yuki's body.

He wasn't breathing.

"Nooooooo! Yuki! Please!" Shuichi cried.

Is what I was trying to do.

Shuichi wept bitterly.
