Synopsis: Shinya, Toshiya, Daisuke, and Kaoru are stuck in a house together for two days and two nights. There is no escaping unless they want to drown in rain (which I'm sure none of them would find much amusing). Will Die and Shinya finally come to their senses and tell each other how they feel or will their new living arrangments take a toll on their already broken relationship?
Comments: Poor, poor Kyo... He just doesn't seem to be in either chapters, does he? *tsk, tsk* Oh, well... He might call... Unno yet.
Daisuke swallowed hard. He had to be dreaming... Or Kaoru and Toshiya were playing some heartless joke on him. Despite the accusations in his head, he wetted his lips and leaned foreward, closing his eyes. After a moment of nothing happening, he opened them and saw the look of horror on Shinya's face as he stared out the window. "Oh. My. God." He gasped. Daisuke turned his head to see what was so awful.
It was white. Die knew it wasn't cold enough to snow. "How in the hell...?"
"What is that?" Toshiya asked, an amazed look over his face.
"Rain." Was Kaoru's slow answer. He grabbed the remote and flipped the TV on.
'-arning has been released. Stay in your homes! If you leave there is high risk of death.'
"How long...?" Shinya asked the TV.
'It has just been reported by our Super Dopler Weather Watcher that the longest the rain will last is two days and two nights. Now, on to better news with-' Kaoru hit the power button.
"But... but... I don't want to be stuck in a house with you weirdos." Die smiled, trying to make the best of the situation. Shinya glared at him. "Sorry..." He looked down.
~I'm seein red
Don't think you'll have to see my face again
don't have much time for sympathy
Cuz it never happened to me ~
Shinya stood up and ran his fingers through his hair. He looked almost as if he were going to cry. Die, whom was still sitting on the couch, grabbed Shinya's hand. "What's wrong...?"
"I left Miyu at home..." Shinya's eyes filled with tears. "Poor Miyu... Maybe I should call..."
"And just who are you expecting to answer the phone? The abomidable snow man...?" Die bit his lip. He didn't mean to always say things to hurt Shinya. "I'm sorry."
"Yeah... well... so am I." Shinya pulled his hand away from Die and stormed off into one of the many rooms of the house. Die slammed his fist into the arm of the couch.
"God, damn it!" He said loudly. "You see?" He stood and looked at Kaoru and Toshiya. "Do you see why I can't tell him?"
"Because you're mean?" Kaoru asked.
"Exactly!" Die let his hands fall to his sides. "And he's... he's too... perfect..." He bit his lip again. He shook his head. "Thanks for trying." He said softly and sat back down.
"Look, Die." Toshiya sat beside him. "If you love Shinya, you have to tell him. You can't just spend everyday watching him like you've been doing. If you want to hold him, tell him. If you want to be with him, tell him. If you love him... Tell him..."
"It isn't that easy, Toshiya!" Die said harshly. "Don't you think I've been trying?"
~You're feelin blue now
I think you bit off more than you could chew
And now it's time to make a choice
And all I wanna hear is your... ~
"You aren't trying hard enough." Kaoru stated. "Get your ass in there and tell that poor man how you feel!" He pointed towards the door.
"I... I can't..."
"And why is that?"
"Because... there's no way in hell... he could love someone as mean as me..." Die said. He put his face in his hands.
"Well, he does. So, apparently, there is a way in hell. Go talk to him." Toshiya said. He was starting to get angry and Die could tell. So he stood and made his way to the door, knocking lightly on it.
"What?" Shinya said with out opening the door.
"Shin-chan...? Can I come in?" Die asked quietly.
"No. You can't." Shinya answered. Despite his answer, Die pushed open the door and closed it behind him. "I thought I sa-"
"I heard you." Die said. He locked the door. "I need to talk to you."
"Well, I don't want to talk to you."
~So follow the leader down
And swallow your pride and drown
When there's no place left to go
Maybe thats when you will know ~
"You have no choice." He said and moved closer to Shinya. "Look, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings."
"You're always 'sorry', aren't you?" Shinya crosses his arms and turned around. Die walked the rest of the distance between he and Shinya and put a hand over Shinya's shoulder.
"Shinya... please... I'm trying..." Die looked down when Shinya turned to face him. He had a disgusted look on his face.
"Trying to what?" Shinya said sharply. He knew he was hurting Die but it was about time that pain was inflicted on someone other than himself.
"I'm trying to stop being mean." He answered quietly.
"Why would you...?"
"Because... because..." Die looked up at Shinya. "I don't like seeing you sad."
Shinya's eyes widened. He was expecting a 'because Kaoru said he'd kick my ass if I wasn't nicer'.
"And I don't like being the one who makes you feel that way." Shinya almost glared at him.
"So why do it?"
"Because I don't know how to tell you..."
"Tell me what?" Shinya bit his lip. Die shook his head and turned around, walking towards the door.
"Nevermind." Shinya raced after him and turned him back around by yanking his sleeve. His eyes were filled with tears that he wasn't even aware were there.
"Die... please..." Without another word, Die leaned towards Shinya, covering his lips with his own. He pulled away after a second.
"I'm sorry, Shinya..." He turned back to the door and clicked the lock.
"Die..." Before opening the door, Die waited. When he got no reply, he decided to take the chance.
"I... I love you..." Shinya covered his mouth with his hands and gasped. That phrase was what he least expected to come out of Die's mouth.
~And foolish lies well can't you see
I tried to compromise
Cuz what you say ain't always true
And I can see the tears in your eyes ~
There was a short pause before Die opened the door and ran to a bathroom. Shinya put his back to the door and slid down it. Why didn't he say it back...?
Die banged his head against the door, trying to stop himself from crying. He did it. He did what they told him to do and they were wrong. Die leaned against the door, sliding against it. "What the fuck am I doing...?" He asked him self, sobbing into his palms.
~And what you said now
Can't stop the words from running through my head
And what I do to get through to you
But you'd only do it again ~
There was a short knock on the bathroom door and Die's head snapped up. "Die...?" Kaoru's voice said. He sighed. He wasn't sure that he wanted it to be Shinya. He stood and pulled the door open. "What happened?"
"I did it." He smiled through tears. "I told him that I love him and... and..."
"What?"
"He just stood there, staring at me. He didn't say anything. He didn't do anything." He slammed his palms on to the counter of the sink. "You told me to tell him." He rolled his eyes. "But, hey, what was I expecting? Some big... revelation. I told you guys he didn't feel the same..."
~So follow the leader down
And swallow your pride and drown
When there's no place left to go
Maybe that's when you will know~
Kaoru's jaw dropped. "But... he said... he told us he wanted to tell you how he felt..."
"Well, apparently, you didn't decipher that by 'what he felt' he meant the opposite of what I feel. I made a complete fool of myself." He shook his head. "I can't believe I'm stuck here for two days..." He sighed. Kaoru was speechless. "Look... Can I use one of your rooms...? I need to think..." Kaoru nodded and Die pushed past him, walked slowly up the set of stairs and practically slammed a door shut. He threw himself on the unoccuplied bed.
~Well I confess, I don't know
what to make from all this mess
Don't have much time for sympathy
But it never happened to me ~
Die closed his eyes, wishing that, if he had to cry this much he'd just go ahead and drown in his tears. After a few minutes, he was fast asleep, his mind off of the present for a while. There was a light knock on the door that he didn't hear. Shinya entered the quiet room, his eyes landing on the sleeping Die.
~You're Feelin down, now
I don't know where I'll be when you come around
And now it's time to make a choice~
Shinya bit his lip and closed the door as quietly as he could. He leaned against it with his forhead and whispered so softly he could hardly hear himself...
~And all I wanna hear is your voice...~
"I love you, too, Daisuke..."
