GRAVITY 25

Die lay on his stomach staring at Shinya who lay right next to him. His fingers played with Shinya’s hair idly. The drummer was looking at him, studying his face with a serene expression on his face. Die smiled and touched his cheek. Shinya moved his hand and held Die’s. He smiled back.
How long had they been lying like that…staring at each other? Die didn’t even know…he had been dreaming…what just happened was a dream…it was too good to be true!
Shinya held his hand and kissed it lovingly.
"Shin-chan…" he whispered. The drummer’s eyes lifted up.
"Promise me …" Die had decided, if this was a dream…then it had to be a real dream…his beautiful dream and he wanted to do what he had in mind. He wanted to talk to Shinya…hearing his voice and looked at Shinya deeply into his eyes.
This was the only chance…I will never see Shinya this way again…let it be a dream…my dream…
"Promise you…" Shinya’s eyes showed confusion. "I will…whatever you want me to…" he finally replied.
Die smiled sadly wishing it was real. But when the morning came Shinya would forget everything…Die knew it because it was what usually happened. Shinya would be really warm and sweet…but then the next day he would be the same Shinya…
The guitarist held Shinya’s hand tightly, "Promise me you’ll never put yourself in danger again!" he whispered. Shinya stared. "Promise me you will never make me worry about you again!" he bit his lower lip, waiting for the younger man.
Shinya smiled, "I promise" he stated firmly. "I promise I will never ever put myself in danger ever again…so you don’t have to be worry about me…" he added. Die stared into Shinya’s eyes and he could see Shinya was serious. He meant what he had just said.
Die held back his tears, "promise me too that you will never cry again…" his voice shook. Shinya looked at him weirdly. He wondered why.
"Die…how can I promise if you cry too…?" Shinya wiped his tears away. Die blinked and more tears fell down from his eyes. The younger man looked at him concernedly. "If you promise me you never cry again then I’ll promise you…" he softly added. Die could only stared.
"What’s wrong Die? You never cried before…" Shinya sounded really worried. "Is it…me?" he asked sadly followed by faint sobs. The older man panicked, Shin-chan…don’t cry! But he couldn’t find his voice. "Die…don’t cry! It hurt so much here…" Shinya took Die’s hand and placed it on his chest. The younger man gasped as Die suddenly hugged him tightly.
"Why don’t you understand? Why can’t you get it?" Die’s voice cracked and his body racked to sobs. Shinya’s eyes wide open in shock. But he quickly hugged the other man. I love you so much Shinya…but why can’t you get it?
"I understand…" Shinya soothed him patting his back gently. "Don’t cry…I understand you Die…" Shinya let go and stared at him tenderly.
"Aishiteru…"
Die closed his eyes and nodded, "I love you too…" Shinya kissed him before snuggled up happily and shut his eyes.
"Warm…" he mouthed. The guitarist hugged him tighter, "Sleep…" he whispered near Shinya’s ear.

Die sat on he bed slowly carefully fearing that he might wake Shinya up. But he didn’t; Die massaged the area between his eyes slowly. He felt like a bad guy…sleeping with Shinya then left him alone in bed. He had put on his clothes; Die gently touched Shinya’s hand. The drummer was fully clothed too.
What’s this Die? Are you leaving him alone? What’s last night?
Shaking his head as the answer, Die tried not to squeeze Shinya’s hand. He looked so peaceful…so innocent…so soft…what had you done to him Die? The guitarist smiled ironically. He knew Shinya too well…last night was-
A mistake? How dare you say that Die?! Last night was the most beautiful moment you have ever had with Shinya! So you have to explain to him!
The most beautiful moment…it was too beautiful to be true…that’s why…it’s a dream…
Die lovingly stroke Shinya’s cheek with his fingers.
Shin-chan…my Shinya…
"I love you…" he bent down giving him one last kiss. Then slowly without turning back he walked out of the room.

A single ray of the sun shone through the slightly parted curtain. Shinya moaned and turned his head feeling warm on his face. He winced as his head throbbed painfully and decided not to move his head anymore. He took a deep breath waiting for the pain to go away. With eyes closed, he moved his left hand to his stomach,
"Die…" he whispered and moved his hand.
Suddenly he snapped his eyes wide open and turned his head despite the pain. It would gradually go away. He stared at the other side of the bed.
It was empty.
Slowly Shinya moved his body and curled as if hugging the bed. It was warm…still warm and smelt like something familiar to his sense. Shinya closed his eyes and gently ran his palms on the bed…the certain part of the bed.
I was dreaming…

He tossed around on his bed; something had waken him up. The man finally got up the bed hearing few noises came from downstairs. He put on his robe then quietly opened the door. He glanced at the clock, 9.24 a.m. he heard the maids talking, whispering.
"Ah…Yoshiki-sama…ohayoo gozaimasu" a maid panicked seeing him. Yoshiki nodded and looked around. It looked like a normal morning. But something was wrong.
"Yoshiki-sama…somebody is here…and he wants to see you" the guard bowed to him. (Gee! Don’t even know he has a guard or not-L7) the producer pouted, "I thought I’d given you the message…" he spoke coldly, annoyed. The guard winced, "Hai…gomenasai…but the man broke in even when we told him you didn’t want to be disturbed this morning!" he defended himself. Yoshiki arched an eyebrow. He had a really long complicated work session last night and all he wanted was a peaceful Sunday morning.
"He’s in the living room…" Yoshiki shot a killing stare at the guard, "You let him in?!!!" he hissed.
"Ano…I’ve seen him before…he’s the young man who looks like a girl…" the guard panicked. Realising whom the guard was talking about, Yoshiki bit his lip and walked towards the living room.
Somebody stood nervously scratching his head. Blond head (Heh, is Shin-chan blond?-L7). Yoshiki sighed and approached him. What happened now? The man turned his head as footsteps could be heard. Yoshiki widened his eyes seeing that face.
"God, Shinya! You look… " shit! He thought. If it was somebody else he would had said that. But this was Shinya…
"You look tired…" he slowly touched the man’s cheek. The face was so beautiful even though it looked really bad. Shinya’s eyes were blood shot red. The younger man’s nose was red too. Yoshiki held his breath. Something happened last night?
Shinya sniffed and bit his lip. He wanted to say something…like explaining what happened. But he didn’t know what happened! The older man smiled to him, "I’m here…" he whispered as his hand touched the back of Shinya’s head slowly moving him forward. "Don’t worry…" he whispered again as Shinya’s head fell on his shoulder. Yoshiki pouted, planning what he should do to the man that made Shinya like this.
Die…something whispered in his mind. He would die…
