a/n: sorry, this chapter is short. I just felt that I need to update, like a belated treat for Halloween. Hehe, but this is not related o Halloween at all.
Chapter 15
The Definition of Love, Yuki's Star
Yuki disobeyed all traffic rules just to get on the airport on time. His car's tires were flaming and screeching as other cars avoided his path. He swore he heard police sirens following him but he didn't care. This was a 'do or die' situation for him.
He stopped his car in front of the large Narita airport and ran out of his car, almost forgetting to slam it shut. He ran inside, ignoring the guards that were stopping him.
"Sir! You're not allowed to enter!" one guard held his arm roughly.
"I don't care. I have to find someone!" he shouted back and pushed the guard on the floor.
"What's that?!"
"Is that Yuki Eiri?"
"Oh my! He looks wasted!"
Great. I made a scene. He grunted and slammed his forehead. Before the guard could stand up, he ran to the escalator, climbing two steps at a time, not caring whether he knocked or stomped on someone.
And finally he made it to the waiting area. There were lots of people with large suitcases and bags in hand, walking here and there. He wandered his teary eyes on the whole large space, hoping to see his pink haired brat. His feet walked slowly, his eyes carefully scanning the crowd.
There! His heart raced. Beside the luggage center was a pink haired guy wearing a black cap. He ran faster and made the man face him. "Shuichi –
"Excuse me?" the man – or rather the woman said.
"S- sorry, I thought you were someone else." His cheeks blushed for a moment before he proceeded on finding Shuichi again.
"Miss?' he went to the counter to ask for the flight schedules. "What time will the flight for L.A. leave?" he asked, panting after every word. He wiped his sweat as the attendant checked on a paper.
"Sir, there are two flights. One earlier this morning and the other one will leave after 1 minute." The lady smiled and entertained other passengers.
"One minute." He said to himself and slumped on the floor. He waited till his breathing was back to normal during which his eyes continued to search for Shuichi.
He shook his head and stood up. "I've wasted so much time. Must find him."
And he ran again.
Shuichi sneezed. He got his black handkerchief and wiped his nose. "Augh, I think I'm going to have a fever."
"Shu, let's go?" Hiro pointed at the plane. Shuichi nodded. He viewed Japan for the last time through his black shades and sighed. "Good bye Japan. Good bye everybody." He said while Hiro started walking towards the plane. "Good bye Yuki." He closed his eyes and turned around.
It was his turn to climb up the plane. He looked at the large engine waiting for him. "There's no turning back Shuichi. Once you enter, your life will change. You are no longer Shuichi Shindou." He said to himself and made his first step.
Yuki continued to run, bumping all people on his way.
Flight for L.A. will be leaving in a few seconds.
He panicked when he heard the announcer. He kept on running faster until he reached the right plane. He gripped on the rails and looked for any sign that will lead him to his Shuichi.
"Shuichi… Shuichi…." he mumbled all over.
Shuichi's foot stepped on the entrance part of the plane. He sneezed again and rubbed his nose. He felt his heart race as if there was someone who wanted to stop him. He shook his head and smiled.
Yuki wiped a tear that fell down on his eye. "Geez, why am I crying?" he remained stubborn. As he removed his hand from his eyes, something pink entering the plane caught his eye. His eyes widened for a moment before his mouth opened to shout.
"Shuichi!" he shouted.
Shuichi looked back at the large crowd. He was sure someone called his name.
"Shuichi?" Hiro called. "What's taking you so long buddy?"
He turned around again and stepped inside. "No. Nothing." He said again and went to look for their seats. Finally he was inside, finally he's not Shuichi.
Yuki punched the wall beside him. "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." he muttered all over. "Baka Shuichi!" he said to himself and watched as the plane rocketed off to the sky.
Yuki sat on his dark apartment the next day. After he left the airport, he went straight on his couch and didn't answer calls, doorbells and emails. He was just staring at the blank screen of the television, cans of beer on the floor. He heard a faint click on the door and saw a shade of pink coming towards him.
Shuichi? He thought and stared at the new presence beside him.
"Yuki, why are you not answering my calls? I'm worried."
"Shu..ni.. I don't want you here, go away."
"Don't be like that Yuki." Shuni Shindou pouted.
"Who are you to order me around? Just leave already!" he started to raise his voice which made Shuichi's twin to back away. When Yuki realized what he had done, he massaged his temples, sighed and rested back on his couch.
"Go home Shuni. I want to be alone."
"Alone? Alone and then what? Ruin your life with this?" he snatched a cigarette from Yuki's fingers and threw it on the floor. "What's happening with you? Why are you sulking in your apartment by yourself?!" Shuni reprimanded him and started to cry.
Yuki greeted his teeth and stood up, grabbing Shuni by his arm. He headed towards the door and threw the brat outside his apartment.
"If you went here just to reprimand me and cry –
"I didn't come here just to reprimand you!" Shuni explained and set himself free from Yuki's grasp. "I'm here because I'm concerned! I'm here because I wanted to make sure that you are ok. I'm here because I love you!"
Yuki smirked. "Heh, love? Who are you kidding Shuni? Do you even know the word? Does that mean you don't love your brother? You are thinking of me when you should be thinking of your missing bother –
"I love Shuichi! The love that I am feeling for him is different from the love that I am showing you. I love you Yuki, please believe me! I can't stop thinking of you; I always want to be with you –
Yuki started to walk back inside his apartment, digesting Shuni's confession.
- to be always by your side. I want to share my life with you, Yuki! I don't care if my mom or any other person will protest, but I am seriously in love with you!" Shuni was crying hysterically now, and when he saw that Yuki was to close the door, he ran and hugged the writer from behind.
"Please Yuki, let me love you. Please give me a chance."
Yuki kept silent for a moment, hearing only Shuni's sobbing. His grip on the doorknob tightened when Shuni's hug tightened as well. Breaking the silence, he breathed in and closed his eyes.
"You said that you want to be with me?"
He felt Shuni nod and tightened his embrace more.
"You said you always want to be beside me."
"Yes." Shuni whispered.
"You – you said you can't stop thinking of me, and you want to share your life with me?"
"Yes." Shuni replied.
"You also said that you don't care if other people protest, even if it's your parents, because you are seriously in love with me."
"Yes, Yuki, I am in love with you." Shuni said.
"If that's your definition of love, then –
He removed Shuni's arms from his waist.
- it's Shuichi that I seriously love.
Yuki didn't look back, he sighed and closed the door in front of a defeated Shuni, who was now crying on the floor. Once Yuki was inside, he leaned his back on the door and cried by himself.
