I had the very sudden urge to write this fic while watching an episode of the 'Closer'... no reason to think of it at all, it just slipped into the brain.
I'll be trying my hardest to not make this a crack fic, anymore than Shuichi himself normally is, lol...meaning I have some leeway!
This will be a multi chapter fic, but not a long one. Chapters may not be that long either.
This is not a story making fun of twilight, nor is it one fawning over it. Just a thought of what would happen if Shuichi saw it, and let his mind wander too much. :3
-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Hiro had thought that a movie night would be a well needed break for Shuichi. They had just done a small concert tour, and they were all pretty exhausted from the crammed schedule they had kept up.
Unfortunately, one Eiri Yuki was out of town, so even though they'd gotten back, Shuichi was still depressed as his lover would still be gone the rest of the weekend. Hiro assumed it was a trip for something relating to one of his novel, but he had learned long ago to not dwell on that long. In reality, Eiri Yuki could have gone anywhere for whatever reason, and he need not upset Shuichi any further by mentioning this.
Knowing that Shuichi never could watch any scary movies, he dared not pick one of those out. Shuichi had always been one for Romance films, dramatic movies, even humorous ones. As he had browsed the movies lining the walls of the local family video store, he came up with a blank on what he should choose.
Of course, like all decent movie store employees, a woman, perhaps in her mid twenties trotted up to him. For a moment he thought she knew who he was, even with his hair pulled back and the sunglasses on but she turned out to honestly just be a quite...joyful person...
She bounded up to him happily, grinning wide.
"How may I help you? Would you like me to show you around?"
Hiro concluded that this woman was a ditz right off the bat. She wore far too much make up, and looked very much like she'd have wardrobe containing more pink than anything, if not for her wearing the drab blue employee uniform.
She eyed him strangely when he didn't answer her right away, and she cleared her throat.
Hiro gave a nervous laugh.
"No...not exactly..." he smiled weakly. " I'm looking for a movie...I've just not been much of a movie watcher in say... the last 2 years? I have no idea what's out or what I should get..."
This perked the woman up immediately. In a way, she slightly reminded him of Shuichi...in a disturbing way...
"Well, that all depends on what kind of movie you're looking for, and who you plan to watch the movie with " She winked.
Hiro flinched slightly at this, but went over the idea of the perfect movie for Shuichi.
"Well... I suppose I'm not looking for anything straight up horror... possibly a romantic comedy? Maybe fantasy?" Hiro furrowed his brow.
The woman giggled, and ran down the isle, coming back with a single rental case in her hands.
"This should be perfect! ALL the girls love this move...so hot... but, not the point, I'm sure you're girlfriend will be pleased with it!" She smiled, slightly flushed, and dashed off towards another customer.
"Girlfriend?" He groaned...
Shuichi WAS a total chick... he couldn't blame the woman for assuming, he HAD suggested the typical girly movie, and she hadn't pegged him as gay.
He held the transparent case up to look at the DVD she had given him.
'Twilight?'
He honestly couldn't grasp the plot from just a title, so he'd have to wing it and hop for the best.
He made his way to the register, paid the $3 rental fee, and got back on his motorcycle, making his way back to his apartment where he'd left Shuichi earlier. Hopefully the building was still in one piece...
It was a rather short ride, and after barking his bike he was able to conclude that yes, the building was still standing, and no, there were no flames or ambulances in the area.
A good sign.
He made his way up the stairs, and unlocked the door to his apartment once he got there. No sooner had he opened the door, then Shuichi tackled him, clinging to his waist.
"Oh Hiro! I was soooo bored! I should have gone with you!" He pouted.
Hiro sighed.
"Perhaps I would have asked you to come if you had been with the living. You were out cold Shu... only you would take a nap at 5pm... you'll be up all night now, and don't even think of keeping me up with you..." He frowned, prying Shuichi off of him.
He managed to shut the door as Shuichi bounded into the kitchen, grabbing two cans of soda. He tossed his coat in the corner, and set his keys on the counter.
"I got us a movie to watch. Should keep us preoccupied for a few hours." He smiled as Shuichi shot him a grin.
"Oh cool! We haven't had a movie night in ages! Not since I lived with Kaa-san and Maiko! What did you rent? What's it about? Better not be another zombie movie..." he shuddered.
K had made them watch a movie once, clearly (or hopefully) drunk when he had done so... the man had them watch some odd zombie movie, and had explained throughout the whole thing the threat of Zombie invasion that would clearly someday destroy the human race. Said they all had to be prepared... Shuichi and Fugisaki had been jumpy for weeks afterwards, and K was forced to save a homeless man from the wrath of Shuichi with a baseball bat one afternoon, in which Shuichi swore he was a zombie... the poor man had just been fairly hairy, dirty, and had bad acne...
Hiro shook his head at the memory.
"No Shuichi, not zombies...at least, I don't think so. I think it's some chick flick. Had the woman at the store pick something, as I didn't have the slightest clue what to get you. So I have no clue what we're about to watch."
Shuichi had been thrilled... to say the least. He was excited to have a 'mystery' movie, and he'd made a monster sized bowl of popcorn, which Hiro was sure there was no way they could finish it.
He'd set up the DVD player and popped the disc in before dimming the lights and collapsing onto the couch next to Shuichi, who was already munching away.
Little did Hiro know, watching Twilight with Shuichi would be the worst mistake of his life (so far), leading to a very hectic next 2 weeks, and a very unreasonable Shuichi Shindou...
