Let it Will Be

I do not own Gravitation. It is so wonderful.
Summary: Shuichi is kicked out of Yuki's apartment yet again and Ryuichi is there for him with Kumagoro in tow. MM, Language.
Prologue
"Oh, Shuichi!" A shrill voice cried out and the cotton candy pink haired young man was flat on his back with an irate brown haired legend singer straddling his narrow waist. "You're late! You hate me, don't you?"
Tears just streamed from those deep blue eyes and he hugged Shuichi to the point where the singer for Bad Luck could not breathe. It was like this every time he was late.
"No, I don't hate you, Mr. Sakuma." Shuichi gasped out, trying not to faint from the lack of oxygen. "How could I hate you? You're wonderful."
Those big blue eyes narrowed into slits and Ryuichi loomed over Shuichi like a dark storm cloud about to let loose with the fire and brimstone. "Ryuichi! Kumagoro told you to call me, Ryuichi!"
Shuichi gulped and felt sweat begin to from on his brow. His idol, his God, the awesome pop singer, Ryuichi Sakuma of Nittle Grasper, was scarier than a full grown dragon about to bitch slap a fridge that was out of beer.
"I'm sorry," Shuichi told him, calling him by his name. "My alarm clock failed to go off, Ryuichi."
It was no lie. He had not heard his alarm clock.
That made the blue eyed pop star shine, just like a million watt bulb. He got up off his pink haired friend and helped him to his feet.
"Here," Shuichi," Ryuichi grinned with really white teeth. "I brought us lots of yummy goodness. I got it from Kumagoro's favorite candy store. It sells all kinds of wonderful treats."
He dragged Shuichi by the arm over to a table, showing him the big bag filled with all manner of candies. Some of the weird things he had never seen before in his life.
"America makes everything!" Ryuichi laughed, fixing his pink fluffy bunny a big lollypop. "Kumagoro likes these best."
Shuichi could only nod. He had never seen so much candy. No wonder Ryuichi was always dancing on the ceiling. He was just like a bouncy ball.
"Take what you want." Ryuichi said, chomping down on some tasty topaz blue rock candy. It was pure sugar. "They are all yummy, Shuichi."
Shuichi picked up the same thing that Ryuichi was eating only it was pink. He took a lick on it and fell in love. It tasted of goodness.
"Aren't you super excited, Shuichi?" Ryuichi asked, dancing circles around him. "We get to make a record and sing together in front of millions."
Shuichi could only nod his head. He was not feeling very happy right now.
Yuki had kicked him out because he had forgotten and left the bathwater running. Why did he have to get so angry about it? It was an honest mistake and it could have happened to anybody.
"What's wrong, Shuichi?" Ryuichi asked with genuine concern in his voice, hugging Kumagoro close to his chest. "We don't like it when your eyes look sad."
Shuichi looked over at the older singer who was suddenly holding out a lollypop for him to take. It was a bright orange with yellow speckles in it.
He took the lollypop from his idol and Ryuichi gently snatched a hold of his wrist. His grip was soft but it was like iron.
Amethyst jewels gazed into blue gemstones. It was a look that felt like it was going to last for forever. There was such heat and a magnetic pull.
"You can always come to Kumagoro and me," Ryuichi told him in a very serious tone and was suddenly grinning like a fool. "That's what friends are for, right, Shuichi?"
Shuichi nodded his head and gave a small nod of his head. His idol let go of his wrist and started to hum as he played with his bunny's ears. It was so cute.
"Ryuichi?" Shuichi asked in a quiet voice, violet eyes hidden in shadow.
The singer looked up at him from his bunny. "Hmm, what is it, Shuichi?"
The pink haired man was about to tell him only to jump when bullet fire assaulted his ears. He fell over backwards out of his chair with a thud.
"Oh, K!" Ryuichi squealed, pouncing at the long haired blonde, only to pounce by him, and out the door with a crash.
K made a face and sighed as he rolled his eyes. Why was his life so complicated? That guy was always getting himself lost. He was not supposed to leave Noriko's side.
"I'm okay!" Ryuichi giggled, limping back into the room. "Kumagoro broke my fall."
He hugged his bunny friend close, cooing to him. "Who's my good friend? You're my good bunny friend. Yes you are. Yes you are."
Shuichi lifted his head up and then put it back down. He was so damn tired. Yuki was such a bastard.
"Shuichi?" K asked in concern, pointing his gun at the singer in case he was faking. "Are you feeling well? You look really pale today?"
Shuichi lied and gave him the thumbs up. His head was pounding as if it were in a vice.
"I'm fine," he said, getting to his feet with some help from K. "What's the plan for today?"
"Didn't you get my message?" K asked in annoyance, cocking his gun.
Shuichi shook his head. "I was not near a phone."
K cocked a brow.
Ryuichi was looking at Shuichi with an expression of hidden worry. The young man suddenly did not look so hot.
"Shuichi should not frown so," he said, walking over to grin at him. "You'll get big wrinkles here and here and people will say, oh, look at wrinkle face."
K almost pulled the trigger. It would be a mercy killing, no, really.
"Would you like some water, Shuichi?" Ryuichi asked in Kumagoro's voice.
Shuichi knew this little game his idol loved to play. He shook his head, telling Kumagoro no, but, thank you.
Ryuichi beamed at him. He was so happy that Shuichi would always play with him. It was so much fun.
He suddenly made a face at Shuichi and put Kumagoro up to hide his mouth. "Would you drink just a little water, for Ryuichi?"
Shuichi lowered his head. "Okay, Kumagoro."
K only watched in some fascination. It looked like Ryuichi was really taking an interest in Shuichi, pulling him under his wings so to say. He only did these things for people he really, really liked, and that was very few.
"Here you go," Ryuichi said, handing the red plastic cup to his friend. "Drink lots and I'll treat you to lunch with Kumagoro's credit card."
Shuichi watched in amusement as Ryuichi fought off an irate bunny. The two of them were really going at it. He actually laughed. The brown haired singer always knew how to cheer him up it seemed.
He drank the whole cup just so it would make his idol smile and not worry about him. He reached out and shook Kumagoro's little pink foot, telling him thank you, and that he looked forward to lunch with him and Ryuichi.
"Are you ready?" K asked, looking at them, gun ready to fire at any moment. American's were so trigger happy.
"Good times!" Ryuichi squealed, frolicking out the door, dragging Shuichi with him. "Look at how we sparkle, Shuichi! Sparkly, sparkly, Ryu and Shuichi!"
He was so happy. He was going to have lunch with Shuichi.
"Hey!" K yelled, pointing with his gun. "You two idiots need to go that way!"
Ryuichi giggled like a maniac. "Okay!"
K sighed and put his free hand to his forehead. It was like working with twin hurricanes. Those two seemed to be all over the place.
He had to smile. At least his job was not boring. After all, he got to play with guns all day long.
"Oh, lollypops!" He cried, snatching four. "My favorite!"

"Oh, Shindo!" Mr. Sakano cried, whirling around the room like a mini twister.
Ryuichi had Kuma on his head, laughing at the silly man. He was pointing at him and everything.
"Look, Kumagoro," Ryuichi giggled. "He's flying around the room like a rocket. How does the rocket go, Kuma?"
He held his bunny friend out. "Rocket's go, SHROOOOOOOM!"
Noriko rolled her eyes, calling him an idiot. It only made the blue eyed singer laugh harder. Whenever Noriko said that, it translated to him as, I love you, Ryu.
Hiro and Suguru were practically helping each other pull their own hair out by the roots. This was the fifth break in half an hour. At this rate, they would never get done with the song.
Shuichi felt like crap and he wanted to cry. Nothing was going right, and the song was making him cry.
How could he sing a song that was tearing him up inside? What possessed the brunette to write such a song? If he kept this up, he would be crying in no time.
Why would Ryuichi want me to sing this song with him? It seems so intimate.
K fired off a shot and some plaster fell from the ceiling. "DO IT AGAIN!"
Shuichi put his hands up in defense, sighing. He got a wink from Ryuichi. His head was really starting to pound.
The music began to play once more and the two singers took their places. Ryuichi grinned at Shuichi, waving at him with Kuma's paw.
Shuichi waved back and began to think of Yuki. The older man had been so cold to him. He was like winter, cold and locked in ice.
Ryuichi frowned at the look he was seeing on his sad friend's face. He had written this song for Shuichi. He was so going to cheer him up after the recording.
He closed his blue eyes and began to sing. He was all sparkly and shiny. The whole world was going to have to wear sunglasses.
There you are, in a darkened room
And you're all alone, looking out the window
Your heart is cold, and lost the will to love
Like a broken arrow
Here I stand in the shadows
In the shadows
Come to me, come to me
Can't you see that?
Shuichi could not take his eyes off the older singer. Those molten blue gems were burning right into him. It was as if magic was pouring out from Ryuichi's soul, blinding all with its purity. Was Ryuichi singing to him?
He ran a nervous hand through his pink locks. His voice began to soar right along with the man a few feet away from him.
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body is longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life (ohh)
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why (why) why won't you let me love you
Ryuichi looked over to see that Shuichi had tears in his eyes. He looked like he could shatter at any moment. What in the world had that Yuki done to him?
Shuichi wiped a tear away and shook his head, hair hiding his eyes. All he had to do was get through this song. He opened his mouth to sing his solo part with all his heart.
Ohh, Ohh, yeah
Can you hear my voice, do you hear my song
It's a serenade, so your heart can find me, ohh
Any suddenly you're flying down the stairs
Into my arms, baby, ohh…
Ryuichi was practically in tears. That had been so beautifully done. Shuichi's voice could soar right along with angels, painting them all a molten emerald green with envy.
Shuichi's vision was beginning to blur and he could hear people shouting his name in concern. He stumbled away from the microphone, falling over backwards into someone's warm embrace.
He looked up to see that it was Ryuichi. His blurry mouth was moving but he could not make out what he was saying. He tried to speak but dizziness swallowed him whole. His eyes rolled up in his head.
Shuichi…
TBC…
Please review and tell me what you think. This is my first Gravitation fiction. I just watched the anime and I fell in love.

The song lyrics belong to Christina Aguilera and Ricky Martin. The song is just better with the two of them singing it.
