Sapphire

Pairing: RyuichixShuichi. (one of my favorites)

Summary: Everyone knows the story. Yuki gets mad, kicks Shuichi out in a fit of anger, Shuichi goes running to Hiro for comfort. Well, what if Ryuichi overheard Yuki and Shuichi's conversation and offers to help?

A/N: I'm back again. This time bringing more yaoi love to Gravitation. This is one of my favorite parings to play around with, so be warned. I love to play around with Ryuichi's character, hints, my pen name. Please read and review.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gravitation. This wonderful piece of art is owned by Maki Murakami.

Rating: Bleah. M just to be safe.

Ryuichi's POV

"I can't remember the words, na no da."

"What the hell do you mean you can't remember the words! What's wrong with you Ryu-chan? Shindou is doing much better." I looked up into the angry eyes of my second keyboardist. I guess Noriko had a right to be mad. Shu-chan had remembered all of the lyrics and had laid them down perfectly. I, on the other hand was having a hard time focusing. I sighed inwardly and gave her the big sad puppy dog eyes that always did the trick.

"I'm sorry Noriko-chan," I whimpered, "I don't know what's wrong with me. I think I need a break." As I looked at her hopefully, I heard someone sigh. I knew it wasn't Noriko, so it was probably either Tohma or Suguru. 'What is it with these keyboardists?' I thought to myself. I mean I like to work, singing is who I am, but really.

Noriko sighed. "Alright. I can see that we aren't going to get any work done until you get a break so go ahead."

"Yay! Thank you Noriko-chan! Kumagoro and Ryuichi love you so much," I yelled, reverting to talking in the third person. Of course, most people expect that of me considering the way I normally act. How mistaken they are.

"Hey, Sakuma-san, do you want to go to lunch with us?" I looked up to see the source of my distraction staring at me with huge, beautiful lavender eyes. Shuichi.

"Uh, no, that's ok Shu-chan. I think that I'm going to stay here and try to work on these lyrics some, na no da." I gave him my sweetest smile, the one reserved for getting anything I want. 'Yeah. Except it's never gotten you Shuichi.' I cursed myself for thinking about him like that. 'He has a boyfriend. Yeah. And I just wish that it was me instead of that bastard that treats my poor Shu-chan like crap. Wait, my Shu-chan?'

"I'll come with you next- Shuichi?" He had obviously left while I was lost in my thoughts. As had everyone else. I was alone in the studio. I sighed walking over to sit on the couch that's in the studio. Looking around, I thought about what a few months it's been.

Flashback

"Hey, Tohma, who's this?

"Hmm? Oh, that's Shuichi Shindou. Sakano-san thinks we should sign him and his band to NG. Why?"

"..." I looked at the boy silently. He reminded me of myself when Nittle Grasper was first signed. He was also incredibly sexy. This could be interesting. I finally gave a very confused Tohma his answer.

"Just wondering. Is he the one you wanted me to watch tonight.?" Tohma just smiled and I had my answer.

That Night (after the concert)

The taxi pulled away from Zepp Tokyo and towards my apartment. K and I sat in silence. He broke it first.

"You seem happy, Ryuichi" If he only knew. I hadn't felt that compelled to sing since the last time I was on stage with Tohma and Noriko.

"Yeah. It was fun. I wanna sing with him again," I said laughing. Although, I was completely serious, K missed it.

"We'll see," Yes, we sure would. I wanted to do more than sing with him.

The Next Week

"Tohma, I have something I want to ask you." I was laying on the tan couch in Tohma's office.

"What is it Ryuichi?" He looked up sensing my sudden seriousness.

"What would you say if I told you that I wanted to reform Nittle Grasper?" Tohma dropped the pen he had been writing with and nearly knocked his neatly written paperwork off of his desk. Poor Tohma. Being flustered didn't really suit him.

"Y-You're serious aren't you R-Ryuichi?" I could tell he was shocked, Tohma never stuttered.

"Completely" I answered, smirking wickedly. I wonder if he knew what had caused my change of heart about our band. He did.

"This wouldn't have anything to do with Shindou-san, would it Ryuichi-san," he asked as I got up to leave. So he was resorting to calling me that? Hmm.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," I replied, still smirking. "Seguchi-san." And With that I left a very stunned Tohma alone in his office.

End Flashback

I sighed again. A week later, after clearing everything with Noriko, Tohma held a press conference to announce that, after three years, Nittle Grasper was reuniting. Needless to say, people were shocked and thrilled. And now, about five months later, Bad Luck and Nittle Grasper were launching a tour and doing a single together to celebrate. I was very much looking forward to singing with Shuichi every night. The kid has a great voice and an even better body. The best thing, his boyfriend won't be coming on this trip with us. I smiled as Shuichi and his band mates come back into the room. Shuichi and Hiro laughing about something and Suguru trying to ignore them, as usual. He was also failing, as usual.

"You know Suguru," I started, he looked up at me, slightly startled, "you might as well stop trying to ignore them. It won't work. Shuichi is too much like me."

"Yeah." He sighed. "You two are a lot alike, no offense Sakuma-san" Just as I was about to tell him that I was not the least bit offended and to stop calling me "Sakuma-san", (I hate that, it makes me feel old) Shuichi spoke up.

"Wow! Suguru, do you really think that I'm like Sakuma-san?". I winced at the "san" again but smiled at his honest happiness about being compared to me.

"I think you're like me, na no da." Shuichi looked like he was about to cry from happiness and threw his arms around me.

"Oh, thank you, thank you Sakuma-san!" I loved the feeling of him against me, but I would have to let go for now.

"One thing though," I said wagging a finger in front of his face. "Shu-chan, and everyone else need to stop calling me Sakuma-san. Call me Ryuichi or Ryu-chan". Hiro and Suguru nodded, smiling. However, Shuichi was about to burst.

"Oh thank you Sakuma- Oh, I mean Ryuichi." I smiled, well that was the first step taken care of.
