A few days ago-
Ryuichi grinned running across the room. Somehow Kumagoro managed to stay on his head the whole time.
A dark haired teen looked up, gasping when Ryuichi glomped him,
"Tatsuha! I haven't seen you for a million bagillion years!" Ryuichi smiled, pulling away from the now blushing teen. Ryuichi giggled, poking Tatsuha's cheek. "You're always reddy red, Tatsuha."
"I am not!" Tatsuha insisted, blushing even more.
Ryuichi giggled, "you are too, even Kumagoro says so."
"You know what I think? I think you're both imaging things." Tatsuha crossed his arms, a small smile on his face.
"We'll see," Ryuichi grinned, "Oy, Mika, does Tatsuha look reddy red?"
From her bar stool, Mika looked over at Tatsuha and Ryuichi. "A little," she yawned, bored.
"Ha! See, you are red, na no da!" Ryuichi exclaimed.
"Say, so when are the others getting here?" Tatsuha asked to change the subject. Ryuichi still had no idea how he felt about him.
He first started to develop feelings for the singer when he met him at Tohma and Mika's wedding. He'd been very young at the time, but even so he felt strongly about the older, yet childish man. Ryuichi just seemed to think of the younger teen as a friend and if that's all he could get, Tatsuha would take it.
Mika sighed, "who knows and I really doubt Yuki will show up, though Shuichi might drag him here."
"Well they better hurry up, or they'll miss Tatsuha's debut, na no da!"
Tatsuha blinked, "huh, my debut, what are you talking about, Ryu?"
Kumagoro smirked, knowing just want Ryuichi meant. Ryuichi looked at the bunny that was now in his arms. "Should we tell him, Kuma?"
The pink bunny was quite for a moment, then nodded.
"All right, tonight is karaoke night and you're singing first!" Ryuichi grinned, "isn't that great!?"
"B-but, I don't sing..." Tatsuha looked at his sister, hoping for some backup, but his sister just gave him an amused look that said he was on his own.
"Aww, but Ryuichi wants to hear Tatsuha sing." Ryuichi pouted. "So does Kumagoro."
"Yip, the acting carrier is going good, but I want a break." The man said, smiling at everyone looking at him. The man looked at Tatsuha, "so I was hoping... Tatsuha can I perdy please stay with you?"
Everyone at the table blinked, surprised by that question. They all knew how the dark haired teen felt about Ryuichi and they also knew that the two had quickly became good friends, what with all the times their paths crossed.
"Ryuichi, you can stay with Mika and me, we have room." Tohma said, but Ryuichi shook his head.
"No, I wanna stay with my friend Tatsuha." The man pouted, daring anyone to say he couldn't stay with Tatsuha.
Tatsuha grinned, "sure. I don't mind." The sixteen year old said.
"Great! Thank you, Tatsuha!" Ryuichi clapped, "yay, I get to stay with my friend!" Kumagoro grumbled, feeling left out. "Oh, shush, Kuma." he patted the bunny on the head, "I of course meant I get to stay with my two friends." Kuma grinned, saying that was more like it.
Yuki, whom looked cross at being dragged to this place stood up from the table. "We're heading out." he coldly said, holding a hand out for his younger lover. He'd changed a lot, but he still seemed overly cold to other people.
Shuichi told everyone bye and let himself be dragged off.
"Take the keys," Yuki said, throwing the keys at Tatsuha.
Tatsuha grinned, tiptoeing away from the writer, who seemed in a worse then usual mood.
"I hate driving a car." Tatsuha grumbled.
Tatsuha barely even had time to register what was happening before it was too late and he was laying on the side of the street, having been thrown from the car.
"Ugh.. what happened?" the monk groaned, opening a eye. He blinked. Everything he saw was red. It took him a while to understand that was because his head was bleeding, the blood in his eyes.
"Are you okay?" Tatsuha could hear a female voice. He wondered briefly why the person sounded so scared, then passed out.
"Yes, ma'am, that's what the witness said." The nurse answered meekly, not used to dealing with people like Mika.
"And there's no leads!? Nobody knows who hit him? He got away?" Mika yelled, seeing red. How dare someone do that to someone in her family.
"Mika, dear, please calm down." Tohma put a calming hand on his wife's shoulder.
Mika's shoulders started to shake. She didn't often show it on the outside but she really did care for her brothers.
"I'm sorry, I'm just upset..." Mika walked away from the nurse, waving her husband away when he tried to comfort her. "No, just leave me alone."
Tohma sighed.
"Umm, Tatsuha's visiting some friends... he had to leave sudden and he'll be back as soon as he can. He said to make yourself feel at home and... you can use his room and... umm, I have to go." Shuichi ran out of Tatsuha's house, annoyed that everyone had picked him to lie to Ryuichi. He was the worse at lying.
In Tatsuha's room, Ryuichi walked over to his bed.
"But I wanted to live with Tatsuha so we could be together," he said sadly.
"Does Tatsuha not like me anymore?" Ryuichi asked Kumagoro. The pink bunny shrugged, but told Ryuichi he didn't think so. Ryuichi grinned, hugging Kumagoro tightly, "I hope you're right!"
"What's the big idea, trying to blind me?" Tatsuha angrily asked.
He blinked when he heard someone laughing. "Oh, he's awake all right."
Looking to the side he saw his sister, brother and their respective lovers all looking at him.
"What's going on?" Tatsuha asked, sitting up. He winced, gasping in pain.
"You were in a wreck," the doctor explained, shutting his flashlight off. "I was checking your vitals when you woke up."
"I was in a wreck...?" Tatsuha made a 'oh' face, "I kinda remember. I was driving and the next thing I knew there was this loud screeching and I could smell sulfur... oh and then the pain." Tatsuha was still in pain, but not as much as he had been in.
Mika walked over to Tatsuha's bed, "it was a drunk driver and somehow he got away. There's no leads."
"When can I go home?" Tatsuha asked, suddenly remembering his house guest. "What about Ryuichi, why isn't he with you guys?"
"Er, well we didn't tell him because you know how he worries. Tatsuha you've been out for three days." Shuichi told Tatsuha. "He's at your house and he thinks you're visiting friends."
"Oww!" Tatsuha cried out.
Ryuichi pulled away from Tatsuha, tilting his head to the side, "Tatsuha, what's the matter?" he asked, upset that he'd hurt his friend.
"Oh, I... was in a wreck and I'm still sore." Tatsuha said, leaving out when he was in the wreck.
Ryuichi's eyes went wide. "Oh no! I'm sooo sorry, are you okay?"
"Yeah, just sore." Tatsuha said, "I'm going to go lay down for a little while," Tatsuha said, slowly making his way to his room, each step hurting more then the last.
