Author's notes : This fanfiction was written in the beginning of 2004. I just decided to post it now... With lots of courage. niahahah you may think it sucks, that's because English isn't my first language... But I'm so crazy I want to write in English... I'm brave...And it's my first fanfiction ever, soooo I don't know if I have some talent or not in writing... (but I tend to think not as I suck in writing even in my language... mwahaha!). Let's say it's just a try!
Another thing, I'm using looots of Japanese words and phrases. (Because I'm learning Japanese and I'm proud! Stupid me! ) Some things must be obvious but for others, perhaps you need deeper explanations. Go see at the end of the chapter each time you encounter something like this. I think it's useful. But I don't know if it was a good idea. But I just love Japanese so much I couldn't resist! Gomenasai!
Before start reading, you have to know yuki means snow.
The beginning of our story takes place on a day like many others. It was winter, it was twilight, as
Shindô Shûichi came out NG Records building after another hard-working day. When he put one foot outside, the chilling breeze of a January evening stroke him, but his attention wasn't focalized by the cold wind which make his pink strands dance in a dizorganized movement. His attention was dragged by something he has just saw, and on his face a big smile has just appeared.
The things that could happen outside didn't seem to bother a calm and quiet Yuki Eiri who was typing on a keyboard as if he wasn't paying attention to it at all. The room was dark, as the curtains were closed, due to the fact that Yuki seemed to work better in mid-obscurity, and that he didn't mind to move to open them, actually.
His fingers stopped, as he listened to the usual sound of door clapping and footsteps running along the corridor.
"My daily nightmare starts now..." he thought. Then sighing deeply, he took a cigarette. He was about to light it when a sort of pink ray of something burst into the room, near more excited than usual... don't think it's impossible. It is not. It's Shûichi.
The pink ball of energy threw himself at his beloved-between-all-in-the-whole-world-and-for-all-eternity at a speed that would make professional runners blemish.
"Yukiiiiii! I'm home Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! Yuki!That's great Yuki! Yuki ga aru!"
"Of course I'm here you baka. Uh, wait a minute, what are you saying, jerk?"
Realizing that something may be wrong in what he has just said, Shûichi thought for a moment, then added quickly:
"Uh oh, sorry, I mean, yuki ga furuyo!"
He was so happy and excited and Yuki couldn't see why just a stupid thing like this would put him in this state. It was just stupid snow after all, cold wet and annoying snow.
The explanation wasn't long to come, anyway.
"Yuki ga daisukidayo!" He was beeming and released his lover before moving around, in order to open the curtains. Yuki took this occasion of welcomed freedom again to light his cigarette.
In a bright movement Shûichi opened the curtains, so Yuki could see the outside.
"You're always stuck here in the dark Yuki, it's like you're some kind of otaku... You'd better watch by the window for once..."
After taking a deep draught out of his cig, Yuki managed to say something, casting a tired look in Shûichi's direction.
"Am I that unlucky, you've fall in love with me because I'm named Yuki or what?"
Shûichi get upset at this and pouted a little.
"Yuki... you're really that stupid or you're faking it...?"
He looked out at the snow which was silently falling, covering everything in a white mantle. His gaze lost in contemplation, he said:
"But... it's a funny idea... I've never though of it... y'know..." He giggled slighly.
"I love snow since my childhood, don't know why, I find it beautiful, and I like to see it and walk in it, it makes me feel peaceful..."
Looking at Shûichi who was wearing a dreamily expression on his face, Yuki was surprised to find him beautiful, more than usually, if it could ever be possible.
Is this real that snow calmed Shûichi and made him lost his craziness and usual stupidity?
'We must move to Siberia or somewhere like that...It would be salvation for me...' he thought.
Shûichi came out of his contemplation.
"Yuki, I wondered if... "he paused.
"Well, what do you want?"
"I wondered if you'll come out for a walk in the snow with me, you know... I'd like to go with you and..."
"In your dreams, I've work to do, and you know it." Yuki snapped.
"But Yukiiii... you've been in here two days non-stop and I think you need some fresh air..."
"Forget it. You're starting to annoy me, brat."
Shûichi's face changed at these words. He looked rather disappointed and sad. He slowly approached his lover and then started to gently caress his cheek. Yuki's powerful and inquisitive glance were on him. Shûichi was looking sadly to the floor.
"Yuki... I... I never want to annoy you, Yuki... I'm not doing it on purpose, you know..." He raised his head and his amethyst eyes met Yuki's.
"Please Yukiiiii... Just a little walk, not long I promise, only for you to see the outside again and..." his voice lowered "...for me to enjoy just a little moment with you..."
At this time Shûichi's eyes were pleading, like if he was asking for a last kiss on the verge of dying... Yuki couldn't ignore those beautiful eyes. In occasions like that, Shûichi gained in kawaii-ness and Yuki couldn't resist this cute face in front of him. He didn't know if Shûichi knew about how much effect his eyes had on him, and if he did this on purpose everytime he wanted to make him accepting something, or if it was just pure innocence. Yuki tended to think of the second reason more, though... Shûichi isn't the kind of person to be this manipulative. And more, he wasn't clever enough to do it, he though.
But Yuki would prefer dying than showing his cute pink-haired baka this weakness, so since long he found some ways to make himself sound neutral and not concerned.
"I'll think about it..."
"Really!" Shûichi was smiling broadly.
Seeing the falling snow by the window behind Shûichi's head, the thought of seeing his so pure and innocent lover among the purety of the snow make him wish this very thought will come true. And if the snow was calming him it would not be so terrible and tiring...
A realization stroke Yuki : Shûichi must feel good among snow because he was like it in the way he was so damn pure. The double vision of him and snow fulled in mind and he couldn't think he could last more without seeing it... Sometimes Yuki was wondering why his mind was making such strange thoughts... Living with Shûichi must be really disturbing for his poor brain in a way or another...
"Mmh... If you let me in peace so I could finish this stuff before..." he pointed at the screen of his computer. Shûichi wrapped his arms around him at light speed, hugging him desesperatly tight.
"YUKIIIIIIIIII! Aishiteruzeeeee!"
Yuki was trying to push him away but the little thing was too much glued on him in his love-fulled embrace.
"Let go of me, you stupid jerk, I can't breathe! If I die, you'll go in your damn snow alone!"
This sentence awoke a widder smile on Shûichi's face. He removed his arms from his Yuki and go out of the room jumping like crazy.
"Ureshiiii!"
"Baka." Yuki sighed as Shûichi was soon far away, before taking another cig.
Japanese stuff:
Yuki means snow yes, but it isn't the name of our favorite novelist. It's just the same pronounciation but the character to write it is different.
Baka : means silly, stupid, etc... It's a really popular word in the animefan community
Yuki ga aru : means there's snow. But I'm evil, because I made a joke with this. Eiri understood "Yuki's here" at first, as it could be translated like this too. But with the difference that for people the verb iru is used. So "Yuki's here" should have been yuki ga iru. The verb aru is for objects, things, etc. So that was he was angry at first, because he couldn't understand what Shu was talking about and thought Shu was reffering to him as his object or something. It's kind of insulting. I hope you understood my poor explanation!
Yuki ga furuyo : means it's snowing.
Yuki ga daisukidayo: I love snow (but also I love Yuki mwhahaha)
Kawaii : means cute. So kawaii-ness is cuteness. I invented it XD
Aishiteruze: I love you! (desesperated shriek ) the final ze is Shu's way of talking.
Ureshii : means I'm happy
I hope this is not that bad... Well well I'm so excited just now! Perhaps it's a little short, then. I'm sorry.
I hope it isn't too awkward to have played on japanese words that much.
