"Wait. What?"

"The Coffeeshop. It's being shut down." Shuichi repeated, his eyes not meeting Yuki's. He began to shake again, trembling.

Yuki stood there, blank faced, trying to process this. The news, Shuichi's appearance, his muscles convulsing, skin pale ad dripping wet.

"I went in to say 'hi' to Hayuna, and she was in tears." Shuichi babbled "In tears. Hayuna of all people. And it was so quiet and dead and washed out and--.."

Shuichi was biting his nails. He never bit his nails. He always said it was a disgusting habit. Yet his hand and fingers were at his mouth and his teeth were biting and nibbling and he was shaking. The water from the pool which shined so beautifully on his skin in the moonlight was killing him with coldness.

"It just seems wrong, doesn't it?" Shuichi continued around his fingers, running his free hand through his tangeled wet hair. "I mean, there's like 50 million Starbucks. Why can't they be going out of business."

"Because they're Starbucks." Yuki answered simply, taking a hesitant step forwards, watching the muscles in Shuich's leg twitch with the desire to pace again.

"I know, I know it's silly and I shouldn't be getting so upset..." Shuichi's voice cracked and trembled "I shouldn't... I barely even work there."

Shuchi's salty tears added to the chlorine water on his face and plump cheeks and Yuki was there, lips pressed to his eyelids, to his ear lobes to the pulse of his neck and felt his lover's heart race under his skin reverberating on his teeth and tongue.

"Yuki... what if..." Shuichi began, letting Yuki's body wrap around his skin, finding comfort in his solidity, in his warmth.

"What if what?"Yuki asked, hugging Shuichi tight, towel in his hands forgotten as he ignored the protests of his skin against the cold. He told himself he would warm Shuichi until the water turned to steam.

"What if this is some sort of sign? Some sign that we shouldn't--."

"Don't."

"That we shouldn't be together. That we shouldn't..."
"Shu. Don't."

"Get married."

The silence hung thick in the room like a curtain. Yuki wanted to take a step away, to remove his arms and step away from the nonsense speaking baka in his arms.

But he couldn't. He knew that if he moved Shuichi would step backwards and he would pace, putting more and more distance between them.

"You're wrong." He finally spoke after what seemed like an hour. After his feet had begun to tingle from lack of blood flow and the water on their bodies had dried. "You're wrong." He repeated.

"Am I?"

Silence.

"Yes."

More silence.

"How do you know?" Shuichi asked "How could you know?"

"Because we're drawn to each other, Shuichi." Yuki repeated, resting his chin on top of Shuichi's mop of pink hair. "It's more than love. It's... gravitation."

Shuichi was silent for a beat, his body resting against Yuki's, their weight shifting side to side rhythmically.

"The Coffeeshop is where it all began..." Shuichi spoke after a time, turning his head up to his eyes met Yuki's. "It's our foundation... what do you do if the foundation of your relationship starts to crumble?"

Yuki paused for a bit before speaking.

"You rebuild it."
