HSB: This is my first RyuxShu story, so please bear with me! ::sweatdrop::

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Yuki! I'm home!" The energetic lead singer of Bad Luck ran through the door of his boyfriend's home. He looked around the house for Yuki before going into his room. Shuichi found his lover there, sitting in the chair, staring at his laptop. Still working on his book, no doubt. "Yuki! Sakuma-san and I are supposed to go out for ice cream later!," said Shuichi happily,"He said you could come too!" The novelist glared at the pink haired boy. "No thanks. I've got better things to do," he said, turning back to his work. Shuichi shrugged. After placing and ignored kiss on Yuki's cheek, he left to meet his idol at the ice cream parlor.

After he had shut the door behind him, he was about to walk down the sidewalk until a car came up beside him. The window rolled down to reveal the one and only Sakuma Ryuichi. "C'mon, Shu-chan! Get in!," shouted Ryuichi, with a big smile. An ecstatic grin was plastered onto Shuichi's face as he went to the other side of the car and got inside, buckling his seatbelt. "You didn't tell me you were going to pick me up, Sakuma-san!," Shuichi said. Ryuichi winked and replied, "I wanted it to be a surprise." The younger boy ran a hand through his pink hair, looking out the window of the car. The two singers arrived at the ice cream parlor a few moments later. Ryuichi parked his car in a parking lot about a block away since the ice cream parlor didn't have one. Shuichi was wondering where Ryuichi's Kumagorou was. He usually had it with him. As if reading his thoughts, Sakuma-san said, "Kumagorou wanted to stay home. He's sick today." Shuichi smiled and shook his head slightly. He was startled when he found a hand latching onto his and pulling. "Shu-chan! Let's get a good table!," Ryuichi said enthusiastically. They both sat at a small table in a slightly secluded area. Shuichi had ordered strawberry and Ryuichi ordered chocolate. "So are you coming to our concert tomorrow night, Shuichi?," asked the lead singer of Nittle Grasper. Shuichi looked up from his ice cream, and answered, "Yes! Of course I am Sakuma-san!" Ryuichi smiled, and said, " Please, call me Ryuichi." "H-hai!," the pink haired boy answered.

Shuichi was a bit surprised to find his idol laughing lightly while looking at him. "Hm? What's so funny, Ryuichi?," he asked. The older singer reached over and slowly wiped a bit of ice cream from Shuichi's cheek. Ryuichi took his own thumb into his mouth, licking it clean of the strawberry flavored treat. All the while, Shuichi blushed. "So...how are things with Eiri-san?," Ryuichi asked, seemingly interested. "Things are going OK with us," the younger boy answered with a small smile, and continued,"He may act cold towards me alot, but he just doesn't know how to express his feelings." Shuichi's idol tilted his head, wearing a serious expression. "Are you sure he loves you back? You can do better, Shuichi," he said encouragingly. Ryuichi loved Shuichi with all his heart. He didn't want to see Shuichi get hurt by Eiri anymore. Shuichi shook his head, "Ryu-chan, I love Yuki. I love him alot." Ryuichi wanted to block out those words. He wished Eiri's name could be replaced with his. Ryuichi wanted nothing more than to see Shuichi genuinely happy. Without any troubles with his lovelife. He, Sakuma Ryuichi, wanted Shindou Shuichi to be his lover. "Let's go, Shu-chan!," said the older singer with a false smile. Ryuichi dropped Shuichi off at Yuki's house. When Shuichi walked though the door, he was greeted by Yuki. "Have a nice time?," asked Yuki with little interest at all. Shuichi plopped down on the couch and answered, "Hai! It was fun. Sakuma-san is so awesome!" Yuki scoffed quietly. "Maybe he should be your lover instead of me, ne?," he said scournfully, "You seem to have so much in common with him." Shuichi stared after Yuki as he disappeared into the next room.

Shuichi was trying to go to sleep, lying on the couch. He was there due to the fact that Yuki didn't want him in his room tonight. The pink haired teenager sighed, thinking about all that his idol had said. Also about what Yuki said. 'Maybe he should be your lover instead of me, ne?'.......Shuichi replayed that sentence in his mind over and over again. 'Maybe Sakuma-san is right. Maybe Yuki isn't the one for me,' Shuichi thought, 'Yuki might be right, too. Perhaps....I should be Ryuichi's lover.' The lead singer of Bad Luck rolled his eyes at his last thought. '.....Sakuma-san probably doesn't feel a thing for me. Nothing other than friendship.' With that as his last thought, Shuichi rolled over on the couch and fell asleep.

The next morning, Shuichi woke up around 11 o'clock AM. "Oh, damn! I was supposed to be at the studio two hours ago!," he yelled. Running into Yuki's room, he rummaged through his dresser, looking for something to wear. The pinked haired boy rushed to the kitchen to grab a box of pocky for his 'breakfast'. He spotted Yuki at the table, reading the paper. "Why didn't you wake me up!?," asked a very late Shuichi. "It's not my problem if you're late," Yuki replied, sipping his coffee. Shuichi narrowed his eyes at his lover and ran out the door of the apartment.

Shuichi ran into the studio and saw Hiro, Suguru, and Sakano sitting at a table surrounded by papers. Just as Shuichi was about to say something, he heard a click beside his head. "Why are you late!?," K asked with a bit of a growl. Shuichi knew this was going to be a long day. He couldn't wait until nine o'clock rolled around.

--------

Shuichi arrived at Hit Stage, where Nittle Grasper was performing. Ryuichi was able to him right up at the stage. So close to the stage infact, that he was seperated from the rest of the audience. Shuichi leaned against the metal bars that came up to the middle of his back in height. He couldn't wait to see his idol sing. Ryuichi was amazing. The lights dimmed and the crowd started screaming with joy as the three members of Nittle Grasper appeared on the stage. Ryuichi spoke into the microphone.

"This first song is for a dear friend of mine. He's in the audience right now and I hope he listens to every word of this song."

Shuichi noticed that Ryuichi was looking at him.

"nijuuhachi-ji no yoru wo kiritoru

mado wo toshimetara hajimaru

ichido shikaketara tokenai wana wo

ma ni awanai PROTECTION

tatoeba kimi wo kizutsuketai

jiorama ni tojikomete

tataitemita tte sakendetemo

kikoenai sa PREDILECTION"

'He's.....Sakuma-san is singing to me! He's looking right at me!', thought Shuichi excitedly.

"iki mo dekinai

joukyou shita de wa

sugureta ai wo musaboru

can't get enough kotoba yori mo motto

don't let me down tashika ni misete hoshii

one more night kusuka ni kizutsuita

kimi wo mitsumeru me sono saki ni"

" uragiru tame ni umaretekita

kuchibiru wo togisumase

muimi na rikutsu ni mata muragaru

orokashisa ni PREDILECTION

nasuketa mo nai

kono heya kara

hayaku sukuidashite yo

can't get enough utsukushii mayonaka

don't let me down hashiritsuzukete mo mata

one more night nigerenai no wa dare

kizukitaku mo nai sono shinjitsu"

Shuichi realized now that he loved Ryuichi. Did Ryuichi love him back?

" can't get enough kanashige na kao kara

don't let me down itami sae fukuetara

one more night junsui na ai dake

tookunai mirai kanaeru sa

hajimari sae

ushinawareta

owaranai geemu wo shiyou

can't get enough kotoba yori mo motto

don't let me down tashika ni misete hoshii

one more night suka ni kizutsuita

kimi ga mitsumeru me sono saki ni

can't get enough utsukushii mayonaka

don't let me down hashiritsuzukete mo mata

one more night nigerenai no wa dare

kizukitaku mo nai sono shinjitsu

can't get enough kanashige na kao kara

don't let me down itami sae fukuetara

one more night junsui na ai dake

tookunai mirai kanaeru sa

can't get enough

don't let me down

one more night"

The song was over. Ryuichi smiled happily at Shuichi before going backstage to cool down.

Shuichi remembered the backstage pass he had with him. The pinked haired boy ran to the door that led to where Sakuma-san was headed. Opening it, he saw Ryuichi drinking water from a plastic bottle. "Shu-kun...," Ryuichi sat the bottle down.

Shuichi smiled. "Ryu-chan...why did you sing that song for me?," he asked timidly. Ryuichi brushed his bangs from his eyes and took a step closer to Shuichi. He touched his hand to Shuichi's cheek, caressing. "Shuichi...will you ever be mine?"
