Love the way you Lie

(A/N: This chapter is based on the song Love the way you Lie by Eminem ft. Rhianna. I do not own any of Gravitation's characters!)

"Please stop! I am sorry!" begged Shuichi as he crouched to the floor in tears. Yuki stood over Shuichi, watching his lover flinch. Shuichi wrapped his arms around himself as if to hold himself together. Blood dripped from Shuichi's nose, bruises covered his face. Yuki brought his hand up and flexed his fingers, noticing the blood on his knuckles. Yuki crouched next to Shuici and leaned in close.

"You are pathetic. If you leave, I will kill you. Remember that you are mine," threatened Yuki. Shuichi could smell the alcohol on Yuki's breath. He's been drinking again. Tears streamed down Shuichi's face. Yuki stood back up and walked away to his room and slammed the door behind him. Shuichi broke down into more tears. His body began to shake as the fear washed over him. Yuki could kill him if Shuichi does not fight back, yet Yuki promised to never hurt Shuichi...

"You promised," Shuichi cried quietly. Shuichi tried to stand, but the pain was too much. Shuichi looked down at his legs and noticed the bruises that have been there from the previous drunken encounter. Shuichi searched for the closest thing that he could cover himself with to sleep. He found a jacket a few feet in front of him. He reached over and winced at the pain. Shuichi didnt notice when Yuki slowly cracked his door open to watch Shuichi, making sure he wasnt trying to escape.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn. That's alright because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and hear me cry. That's alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.

~~The next morning~~

Shuichi woke up to the feeling of plush pillows and silk sheets. This was a dream, it had to be. It was too good to be true. He slowly opened his eyes and realized he was in Yuki's bed. He quickly sat up and winced as he felt the pain in his ribs. Yuki was drunk again last night, and completely lost control of himself. Yuki walks in with a bowl of warm water and a cloth. He stops when he notices that Shuichi has finally woken up. Shuichi saw the sadness in his eyes, the regret. Tears began to well up in Shuichi's eyes. He trusted Yuki to never hurt him, but Yuki has broken that promise. Shuichi can never trust Yuki again.

"Shuichi.." whispered Yuki as he walked up to him with the bowl in his hands. He set the bowl on the table next to the bed and sat down next to Shuichi. His eyes followed the dark blue and purple bruises all over Shuichi's fragile body. He reached over, but Shuichi flinched.

"Did I do this to you?" asked Yuki softly. Shuichi nodded his head. Yuki pulled his hand away slowly.

"Im very sorry Shuichi, it will never happen again," apologized Yuki. Shuichi shook his head as the tears rolled down his face. Yuki said that the last time he tried to make it up to Shuichi. He doesnt trust Yuki anymore.

I cant tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like. And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe, I cant breathe, but I still fight while I can fight. As long as the wrong feels right, feels like I'm in a flight. High of a love, drunk from the hate. It'ls like Im huffing paint, and I love it the more I suffer, I suffocate, and right before I drown she resucitates me, she fucking hates me, and I love it wait, where you going? I'm leaving you, no you aint. Come back, we're running right back. Here we go again, its so insane cause when its going good its going great. Im superman with the wind in his back, she's Lois Lane. But when its bad, its awful, I feel so ashamed, I snap, who's that dude? I don't even know his name, I laid hands on her, I'd never stoop so low again, I guess I dont know my own strength.

"You said that the last time...Yuki," hesitated Shuichi as he reached up to wipe the tears away. Yuki grabbed Shuichi's hand and gently rubbed his thumbs over the back. He wanted to gain Shuichi's trust again. He has never meant to hurt Shuichi. He loves Shuichi...

"Help me..." pleaded Yuki. Shuichi couldn't tell if he was lying, or if he really wanted the help. Shuichi debated this in his head, back and forth trying to see in Yuki's eyes if he was really asking for help, not just trying to say sorry and get it over with. Yuki squeezed Shuichi's hand, waiting for a response.

"How do I know you really mean it?" asked Shuichi taking his hand away, getting out of bed. He ignored the pain all over his body, heading for the bathroom. Yuki's anger rose, but he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He got up and followed Shuichi to the bathroom. He didnt notice how bad Shuichi's condition was until he walked in on Shuichi. The light showed every bruise on his body of blues and purples. Shuichi ignored Yuki, and gently touched the bruises. Shuichi looked at himself in the mirror and gasped. His bottom lip was busted, dried blood in the corner of his mouth. Dark circles under his eyes. Yuki took a step next to Shuichi, and Shuichi screamed, backing away from Yuki.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn. That's alright because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and here me cry. That's alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.

Yuki quickly grabbed Shuichi and pulled him into his arms. Shuichi struggled against his chest, trying to get himself out of Yuki's arms until Shuichi calmed down. Shuichi cried and held onto Yuki, grabbing onto his shirt, trying to bring him closer.

"No more...please no more fights..no more drinking.." begged Shuichi, his head buried in Yuki's chest. Yuki nodded and closed his eyes, holding Shuichi tighter.

"I promise Shuichi, I promise," said Yuki. Shuichi's cries turned into choking sobs, calming down. Yuki picked up Shuichi bridal style and carried him back to the bed. Shuichi has not loosened his grip on Yuki, afraid to let him go, but at the same time, wanting to break free of him. Yuki reached over to the bowl and took the rag and dipped it into the warm water. He wrang it dry and very gently wiped the dried blood from Shuichi's face. Shuichi's innocent eyes looked up at Yuki, scared.

"I love you Shuichi," whispered Yuki as he continued to clean Shuichi's face. Shuichi gave him a soft smile. With a trembling hand, Shuichi reached to run his hand gently through Yuki's bangs, moving them away from his eyes.

"I love you too Yuki," said Shuichi. Yuki smiled. Shuichi stared into Yuki's eyes and realized that he was trapped. If he stayed with Yuki, Yuki will abuse him, but if he leaves Yuki, he would come after Shuichi. The hopeful look faded from Shuichi's eyes just as Yuki's smile slowly disappeared.

You ever love somebody so much, you can barely breathe, when you're with them, you meet. and neither one of you even know what hit em. Got th at warm fuzzy feeling, yea them chills used to get em, now you're getting fucking sick of looking at em. You swore you've never hit em, never do nothing to hurt em, now you're in each others faces, spewing venom, and these words when you spit em. You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit em, throw em down, pin em so lost in the moments when you're in em, its the rage that took over it controls you both. so they say its best to go your separate ways guess that they dont know you cause today, that was yesterday, yesterday is over its a different day. sound like broken records playing over but you promised her next time you'll show restraint. you dont get another chance, life is no nintendo game, but you lied again now you get to watch her leave, guess that's why they call it window pane.

Shuichi looked away and sighed. He moved away from Yuki and began to walk away when Yuki quickly stood up and followed behind him.

"Where are you going?" asked Yuki. Shuichi ignored him and walked a bit faster towards his room down the hall.

"I cant do this anymore. It's over," said Shuichi. Yuki grabbed Shuichi's arm, making Shuichi look at Yuki. Shuichi quickly drew his arm back.

"Don't touch me!" yelled Shuichi. Yuki quickly slapped Shuichi across the face making Shuichi stumble back a few steps.

"Is this what you want? To get me mad!" exclaimed Yuki. Shuichi gave him an angry look and punched Yuki in th face. Yuki fell to the floor shocked. He touched where Shuichi slugged him and came away with blood on his fingers. Shuichi stood over Yuki, watching Yuki struggling to regain his sight.

"Don't stop what you started," muttered Shuichi before kicking Yuki in between his legs, hitting him right where it hurts. Yuki gasped for air and curled into fetil position, whining in pain.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn. That's alright because I love the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and here my cry. That's alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.

As soon as Shuichi turned his back on Yuki, Yuki jumped to his feet and pushed Shuichi against the wall. Shuichi turned around and suddenly Yuki's lips were against Shuichi's. Shuichi tried to push him off, but Yuki pushed himself harder against Shuichi, pinning his hands above his head. Yuki broke the kiss and looked down at Shuichi. Shuichi's breath was coming in short pants. Yuki licked his lips before placing them against Shuichi's lips again. Shuichi tried to resist for the longest time until he could no longer, he gave in. Shuichi kissed Yuki back with passion, his tongue massaging over Yuki's.

"I hate you so much Yuki," said Shuichi against Yuki's lips. Yuki smirked and moved his lips over to Shuichi's ear.

"Not as much as I hate you," whispered Yuki. Shuichi ignored the words, but the way Yuki whispered into his ear drove him crazy.

Now I know we said things did things that we didnt mean and we fall back to the same patterns same routine but your temper's just as bad as mine is. you're the same as me but when it comes to love you're just as blinded. Baby please come back it wasnt you baby it was me maybe our relationship isnt as crazy as it seems maybe that what happens when a tornado meets a volcano all I know is I love you too much to walk away though come inside pick up your bags off the sidewalk dont you hear my sincerity in my voice when I talk told you this is my fault look me in the eyeball next time I'm pissed I'll aim my fist at the dry wall. next time there will be no next time I apologize even though I know its lies. I'm tired of the games I just want you back I know I'm a liar. If she ever tries to fucking leave Ima tie her to the bed and set the house on fire.

Yuki reached up and grabbed a fistful of Shuichi's hair and pulled him into a hungry passionate kiss. Shuichi moaned into Yuki's mouth and wrapped his leg around Yuki's waist. Yuki pushed him harder against the wall and and bit Shuichi's lip. Shuichi broke the kiss and pushed Yuki away from him. As much as Shuichi hates Yuki, and as much as Yuki hates Shuichi, they still wanted each other. In the very deepest parts of their hearts, they loved each other way too much to let each other go. Later that night, just as Shuichi was about to drift off to sleep, he slowly sat up and looked down at Yuki. He looked at peace, breathing is calm, face with no stress. Shuichi leaned over and placed a gently kiss on Yuki's forehead.

"I love you," whispered Shuichi before slowly slipping out of bed, grabbing the hidden back in the closet and finally leaving out the door. That was the last night Shuichi has ever seen or heard of Yuki again...Until months later Yuki found Shuichi staying with someone else...

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn. That's alright because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and hear me cry. That's alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
