This was originally going to be a stand alone one-shot, but I decided to put it up as chapter two of A Thousand Miles. I'm not really sure why, but there might be one after this one involving Tohma and Mika and Eiri.
In this chapter I kind of reveal the fact that I don't particularly like Ayaka. So I hope you all enjoy this little Hiro/Suguru ficlet. This is really short though.

The brown eyed, green haired teenager was bent studiously over his keyboards, frowning with concentration as he toyed with a new arrangement to The Rage Beat. It was a Saturday night and the entire NG Building was silent except for the sound of his fingers caressing the notes on the keyboard. It was highly likely that the only other people around where Tohma and Sakano. Tohma because he had nothing else to do but plot the downfall of… well, whoever he felt like at the time (Probably Shuichi) and Sakano because he had no life, and what life he did have revolved around Tohma.
Suguru sighed dejectedly, his fingers halting their playing. In truth, he was lonely. That was why he spent all his time working on new music for the band. He had nothing better to do, and no one to go home to. The only thing he had in his life was music, and that was the way it was always going to be.
Suguru had always been the quiet achiever, the prodigal child. More than anything, he wanted to be better and more successful than his cousin Tohma, but spending all those years learning from Tohma had given him little opportunity. And now that he had finally outstripped his cousin in the music industry, he felt little to no satisfaction.
In truth, all he wanted now was love… a love like Shuichi had with Eiri Yuki.
It was true that Shuichi and Eiri had had some pretty rough times over the last couple of years. But Eiri had finally come to accept that Shuichi was there to stay whether he liked it or not… not that Eiri ever complained or anything, it may have taken him three years, but now that he was able to admit that he was in love with the pink haired boy, their relationship had been going strong.
That was what Suguru wanted more than anything; a loving relationship with someone he could trust; someone he could rely on… someone he would gladly die for.
That someone, of course, barely even recognised his existence, for all they were in the same band. Suguru sighed again, the object of his affections already had a girlfriend and he didn't want his feelings for a certain guitarist get in the way of that. There was nothing he could do about it, Hiro was happy and that was all that mattered. But that didn't mean that it didn't hurt like hell.
Maybe it's intuition,
Some things you just don't question.
Like in your eyes I see my future in an instant.
And there it goes; I think I found my way home.
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe.
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life.
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life.
At that moment, said guitarist sauntered through the studio door, "Suguru? What are you doing here on a Saturday?" Hiro asked his young friend.
"Nothing much." Suguru answered, his heart racing. "I had nothing better to do so I thought I might as well get some work done. What are you doing here Nakano-kun?"
Hiro shrugged. "I was on my way to visit Ayaka and I realised I'd left my guitar pick here." He replied, crossing the room and picking up the item in question. "Don't you have friends you can visit or something? Anything's better than working."
Suguru shook his head. "You and Shindou-kun are my friends."
"Well that's depressing." Hiro said. "I'd suggest finding yourself a girlfriend, but last time I said that to a certain someone they ended up with a boyfriend."
"Shuichi?" Suguru asked, and Hiro nodded wryly.
The redhead sighed. "Truth be told, I think Ayaka's going to dump me." He said softly.
"What makes you say that?" Suguru asked him.
"Because I think she knows that I've had my eye on someone else for a while, and honestly, I think she's had hers on someone else as well."
Suguru's heart sank. Hiro liked another girl huh? "So, if you and Ayaka are over, then who's the lucky girl?" he asked lightly, unable to keep his voice from shaking.
Hiro raised an eyebrow and grinned wickedly. "I never said it was a girl, now did I?" he murmured. He looked up at the ceiling. "But I'm going to go and see her anyway. I mean, I could be wrong after all couldn't I."
"I guess so." Suguru said glumly.
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only a sense of completion
And there it goes; I found the missing pieces
I'm searching for, I think I found my best friend.
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe…
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life.
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life.
"Tell me Suguru, is the one you love a guy or a girl?" Hiro asked him suddenly.
"A guy." Suguru said quietly, his eyes never leaving Hiro's.
The red head looked uncomfortable for a moment, then grinned. He brought his face close to the younger boy's, leaning across the keyboard. "Good." He whispered, then kissed him gently and briefly on the lips.
Suguru gasped, but before he could react, Hiro was gone; walking towards the exit. Suguru decided he didn't was to waste the opportunity of a lifetime, the one opportunity he might have to show Hiro how he felt.
He leapt up and followed Hiro to the door. "Wait!" he called, and Hiro turned to face him. He brought his face close to Hiro's again. "What was that all about?" he demanded.
Hiro looked confused. "Didn't you like it?" he asked.
"No, I loved it." Suguru told him nervously, not sure what kind of reaction he'd get.
"I see…" Hiro said slowly, "Well in that case, I had better do it again then." And he kissed Suguru fiercely.
Suguru melted into the taller boy's body as he wrapped his arms around Hiro's neck and kissed him back. He shivered happily as Hiro's arms came to rest around his waist, his fingers sliding under the hem of Suguru's loose green shirt and racing over his skin.
Hiro pulled back briefly to look into his eyes, and Suguru moaned with disappointment. Hiro laughed as he bit and licked a path down the boy's ear to his jaw line, making the teen let out a small scream of pleasure. "I think I might have to cancel my meeting with Ayaka." He laughed huskily. "Considering I got what I wanted."
Suguru looked up at him. "Really?" he asked.
Hiro nodded and kissed him on the soft skin where his neck met his shoulder, and Suguru shuddered happily.
Hiro swung the boy up into his arms bridal style and carried him back into the studio, still with their lips locked against each other's. He took him into the most private corner of the room and laid him down onto the floor, where he proceeded to make love to the younger teen until neither of them could manage a coherent thought.
Ooohhhh…
A thousand angels dance around you
Ooohhhh…
I am complete now that I've found you.
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life…
The following Monday, when Bad Luck showed up for recording, Shuichi, on a major high after spending a romantic weekend with Eiri, noticed instantly that there was something different going on between his two best friends.
For example, when he'd asked Hiro how his weekend had been, he'd answered brightly. "Great! Ayaka dumped me!"
"Hiro! That's awful!" Shuichi exclaimed. "I'm really sorry!"
"No it's not! It's great!" Hiro answered with a broad grin. "Don't be sorry; I'm not." He smiled at Suguru, who was standing behind the lead singer, and he smiled back.
Shuichi noticed the silent communication between the two and glared at them suspiciously. "Am I missing something here?" he asked.
"Probably." Hiro told him, and the pink haired teen poked his tongue out at him, causing the guitarist to laugh.
"More to the point, is there something you're not telling me?" Shuichi demanded.
"Yep." Hiro answered.
"Uh, hello? A little more info over here please!" Shuichi said impatiently, turning his back on the two indignantly
"Come on Shindou-san, it's not rocket science." Suguru giggled. Wait… giggled? Since when did Suguru Fujisaki giggle?
When he was being kissed by Hiroshi Nakano apparently. Shuichi had turned around again when Suguru had giggled, and had been just in time to see Hiro give him the sweetest kiss he'd ever witnessed.
"Oh, I get it." Shuichi murmured as the two broke apart, he smiled. "Congratulations you two, although I can't say I was overly surprised. I just wasn't expecting it right now," he fought the urge to let out an "awww" at the sight of them with their arms wrapped around each other.
At that moment, K burst through the door wielding his pistol and aiming it at random people, which signified that they had best stop talking and start playing or else someone was gonna die.
Shuichi smiled when Hiro set up his guitar as close to Suguru's keyboard as possible. As they made their way though the play list without too many hitches, starting with The Rage Beat and ending with In the Moonlight Shuichi noticed that they ended up standing closer and closer together.
As the three packed up their gear at the end of the day, Shuichi saw that they were holding hands as they left together, and he grinned happily as he saw them kiss.
He couldn't hold it back any more…
"Awwww! You're sooooo cute!" he shrieked and all three of them laughed.
that has got to be the shortest one shot I've written on over a year. But I do like it, it could've been better in my opinion but I still like it.
Please update, I have actually changed my name recently, I used to be Kryptic Insanity, and I'm now The Draconian Mistress.
Please check out my Eiri/Shuichi fic Missing Amethyst Eyes if you haven't already. I'd love to read your reviews.
I hope you enjoyed this fluffy little ficlet, please R&R.
