Happy Death Day

Notes:

Ok calm down! I know the title of this chappie is "Happy Death Day" but no one dies!!! I promise! It's called that for another reason. And no, it's not gonna be a lyrical chappie, it was just inspired by Alien Ant Farm.

Once again, sorry it's so late. By the time I was able to get my ass going on writing, adult-fanfiction.org crashed on me... *sweatdrop* It really isn't an excuse!

Thanks to Shichan! *basks in praise*

Chapter 7: Happy Death Day

Yuki's eyelids felt unusually heavy. Almost as if there were heavy coins on them to keep them down and over his eyes. He tried to move his arms to brush the coins away but they were like dead weight. Hegroaned and his head lolled to the side, but instead of feeling the flaking off of the heavy coins his eyelids seemed even heavier. He whimpered and felt a deep choking sensation.

After another moment he stilled at the sound of something very close. It was a quiet rasping noise, deep and concentrated without booming. He winced and tried to gather into himself, but the noise seemed familiar. He took a breath and concentrated.

The noise was on his right, very near the dead hand. He frowned and listened close before a feeling of relief, then shock hit him.

He forced his eyes to open, somehow his eagerness to confirm his suspiscion was enough to make him open them. The muscles twitched and worked, letting him see a blurry image before the form next to him came into blinding reality.

Touya was at his side, his eyes closed in an anguished sleep. His brow was furrowed, and he looked older than the gentle 21 years that he was. His face was pillowed on Yuki's bedside, one hand on Yuki's. His skin glowed gently under the streams of morning light coming in through the window at his elbow. He sighed and looked him over.

"Oh To-ya... what have I done to you? I never meant any harm... I just had to forget you..." he said as he closed his eyes again. His was hoarse and gravelly in his own throat.

"Well I'm not ready to be forgotten by you yet so tough shit."

Yuki's eyes flew open again to see that Touya hadn't moved a muscle except that his eyes were open, but still sleep fogged and staring at him. He choked back a sob and shook his head.

"You need some water. I'll get a nurse."

"No.. I.."

"Just shut up." Touya said as he forced aching muscles and popping bones to get him to move.

Yuki was shocked and closed his mouth and nodded. After about five minutes Touya sat back in the wicker chair he had scooted to Yuki's bedside table, the glass of water in Yuki's hands.

"Please Yuki, give me one good reason."

Yuki winced and looked away, shaking his head. "I... don't have one To-ya."

"Idiot." Touya said as he looked out the window, the light haloing his silouhette and making Yuki catching his breath. Touya looked at him and motioned to his water. "Drink it. It will help with the gravel and wheeze."

"Aa..." Yuki looked at the water and then gulped it down. His throat ached, but he ignored it. He startled as he saw his hand through the wavy glass. He blinke he he looked at his hand. "This..."

"It's my dad's. Don't lose it, ok? It's all I have left of his. Everything else was sold."

Yuki blinked and shook his head. "To-ya, I can't-"

"Fucking take it or never see me again. I gave that to you because I want to be with you," he voice dropped a notch. "I don't want to lose you like I lost them."

"Them?" Yuki asked curiously.

"My mother, my sister and her boyfriend, then my father."

Yuki's eyes widened slig bef before sorrow filled them. "To-ya I'm sorry..."

"I know. It's okay."

"H-how did it happen?" he asked cautiously.

A sad smile crossed Touya's features. "My mother died not long after my sister was born. Complications. Sakura and Li commited suicide because life wasn't worth living without the other. And my father died in a car accident."

"Life wasn't worth living..?"

"Yeah. My dad and Li's dad were going to have Sakura and Li seperated so that they couldn't continue having sex. Sakura had miscarried twice, and Li had to pay for an abortion out of a small fund his father had set up for his college. They wanted to get married and have children and be a normal family. Our families couldn't get along long enough though." Touya stared at the now empty glass and reached over to tuck a stray strand of silvery hair behind Yuki's ear.

"I'm sorry."

"I know. It's alright. Just... don't make me face another funeral. I'll die."

Yuki nodded and sighed. Touya looked at him closely then got up and walked to the head of Yuki's bed. Slowly, he bent down, and petal soft lips met slightly dry and cracked ones to mesh gently. Yuki's eyes widened considerably, and he whimpered in surprise. There had been times when they had watched movies that Yuki had thought Touya was going to kiss him, and how heavenly it would have felt. He was dead wrong.

This kiss, as gentle as it was, was possesive and pleading. Not nearly as soft and carresing as it semmed. He felt the air sucked out of his aching body, his mind fogging in it's pleading for oxygen. Yuki's eyes looked into the slitted pools of desire and need that was Touya's eyes. The two were lost, and neither wanted to be found as both eyes closed.

With a measure of reluctance, Touya pulled back and ran a soft skinned finger over Yuki's cheek. "First Kiss."

"Aa." Yuki said breathlessly.

"Happy Death Day Yuki."

Yuki looked scared and shrank away. "T-to-to-ya!"

Touya shook his head. "No Yuki, not like that. I didn't mean you."

"Then...?"

"Kero."

Yuki blinked, then shivered unconciously. "How?"

"Someone killed him."

"Who?"

"Yue."

Yuki blinked. "Why?"

Touya took a deep breath and exhaled quietly. "He ordered you and Kero turned him down."

Amber eyes widened as the words sunk into Yuki's muddled mind. "He wanted me to perform for him again?"

"Yeah." Touya looked away. "I'm sorry about Yue... and about not going after you. I... It was stupid."

Yuki smiled softly. "It's ok. Actually.. in everything that your friend did wrong to me, he did something right. He set me free. Happy Death Day." he became serious after a moment. "May I ask.. how he did it?"

"It's kinda funny really. The police caught him sucking on a guy in the room next to the one Kero was in. He said that he had hung him for a "lack of good service". He wanted you, Kero said no, and so he settled for hanging Kero from his tie being twisted in the blades of the ceiling fan while having oral with the second best of Kero's club."

"Please excuse me for saying this... but both deserved it."

Touya nodded.
