“Shuichi…Shuiiichi….Shuichi!”
“Hu h? What?” Shuichi snapped out of his daze to see his best friend standing over him with a frown.
“What do you mean ‘what’? You have been sitting in that chair staring at the floor for an hour now and we have an album release coming up in three months and you haven’t written a single song. What is your problem?!” The pink haired boy then slumped down in his chair and gave a long sigh.
“I don’t know Hiro…”
“How can you not know? Is everything ok with you and Ryuichi-san?”
“Yeah, everything is fine with us….” Shuichi’s voice was still very depressed and he was not putting up a very convincing argument. Hiro then grabbed a chair and pulled it over to be opposite the singer and sat in it backwards resting his long arms on the back of it.
“I’ve known you long enough to know when something is wrong Shuichi and I know something is bothering you. In fact, I haven’t seen you this depressed since…” Hiro then came to the unfortunate realization and all the horrible memories of Shuichi’s last slump came rushing back.
“Shuichi…is it Yuki?” This made the singer immediately burst into hysterical tears, which confirmed Hiro’s suspicions. Hiro then let out a long aggravated sigh.
“Shuichi…I thought you said everything was going well with Ryuichi. So why is Yuki bothering you all of a sudden? You haven’t even seen or spoken to him in over a year.” The pink haired boy tried to stammer through his explanation through heavy sobs.
“I-I don’t know Hiro…I j-just…” Hiro was now beginning to get annoyed with the boys stammering.
“You just what Shuichi?”
“I miss Yuki!” Shuichi then burst into an even heavier flow of tears and sobs as he buried his head in his hands. Hiro then let out another sigh and patted the top of the singers head gently as he spoke.
“Well…What are you going to do about it Shuichi?” Shuichi then sniffled heavily while he raised his head and wiped the tears from his eyes, trying to calm himself down.
“I don’t know what to do Hiro…I love Ryuichi so much and I know that he is so good to me…but lately I haven’t been able to get Yuki off my mind.”
“Well why has he been on your mind so much all of a sudden after all this time?” Shuichi then took a deep breath before answering.
“Well for the past few weeks, I’ve had this dream and it’s the same one every night.” There was then a long pause before Hiro asked the obvious question.
“What is this dream about?” Shuichi then leaned his head all the way back against the back of his chair so that he was staring at the ceiling as he spoke.
“Well it always starts off with me and Ryuichi singing on stage and there is a huge crowd and they are all cheering and I feel so happy…Then all of a sudden the lights fade out and the stage falls out from underneath me taking Ryuichi with it. Then I start falling into the darkness and as I’m falling I can see a small light below me getting brighter as I fall….” Shuichi was then silent as the whole dream came flooding back to his memory in full detail; the suddenness of it took it him by surprise and he zoned out completely.
“And then what?” The red heads voice snapped Shuichi back out of his mind enough to continue recounting his dream.
“After falling for what feels like forever, I finally reach the light and it’s so bright that I can’t see anything around me so I close my eyes. Then when I open them…I’m back in Yuki’s place, sitting on his lap facing him and we are on his couch. I’m just sitting there…staring into his eyes…then he just smiles at me and leans forward and kisses me. And even though it’s a dream…it feels so real. Then he just looks at me and tells me that he loves me. Then I wake up.” The break room was completely silent for a moment while Hiro processed the information and Shuichi continued to stare blankly into the ceiling. The silence continued for a few minutes before Hiro finally spoke up.
“Have you told Ryuichi about this dream?” Shuichi then finally lifted his head forward to look at his friend with teary eyes.
“No. I can’t bring myself to tell him…I mean it’s just a dream after all…”
“Yes but dreams are usually full of deep rooted meanings and emotions.” This made small tears begin to stain Shuichi’s face once again.
“That’s what I’m afraid of Hiro…Ryuichi is so good to me and I do love him and I don’t want to think about Yuki…but I don’t know what to do.” Hiro then put on a small smile and brought back his usual cool tone in an attempt to comfort his friend.
“Well I think it’s possible that you never got any closure when Yuki left you. I mean the guy did just pack up and skip town in the middle of the night without even telling you. So maybe you should try confronting him now that he is back in Japan so that you can get some closure.” There was a small silence in the room once again before Shuichi finally burst from his chair with his fist raised high in the air and a determined grin on his face.
“You’re right Hiro! I’ll go and find Yuki and tell him that he is a jerk! I’ll get the last laugh this time!” Hiro couldn’t help but to laugh at the singer’s outburst. Shuichi was now laughing triumphantly and standing in his super hero pose; he was defiantly back to his old over the top self.
“Well try not to take too long, we do still have an album release coming up and we need you to get back to writing already.”
“Don’t worry Hiro, I’ll be back in no time and we will be at the top of all the charts! Bad Luck will be number one!” Shuichi then gave the red head a huge grin before grabbing his bag and bolting out of the door to start his quest.
As the door slammed behind the pink haired boy Hiro slumped over his chair and let out another sigh.
“That kid really is something else.”
“Hu h? What?” Shuichi snapped out of his daze to see his best friend standing over him with a frown.
“What do you mean ‘what’? You have been sitting in that chair staring at the floor for an hour now and we have an album release coming up in three months and you haven’t written a single song. What is your problem?!” The pink haired boy then slumped down in his chair and gave a long sigh.
