Disclaimers: Gravitation and the characters don’t belong to me. I wish they did but I’m sure you’re all quite glad they don’t.

Notes: Here it is, the final ending to Bloodred Valentine. I really wasn’t expecting to do this at first, but oh well. I hope this doesn’t ruin the whole story…

(Characters OOC, as is to be expected, and…well…yeah)

~*Bloodred Valentine*~

Shuichi opened his eyes slowly at the sound of the phone ringing, hearing slight noises from the other room. He should have known Yuki wouldn’t last long. He checked the clock next to him and winced as he read the time. 11:53. Whoever was on the phone was sure calling late.

He sat up quickly, rubbing at where his arm had started to hurt again. It wasn’t as bad as it had been at first, but it still hurt. Picking up the phone on the next ring he answered groggily.

“Shuichi?” they asked and he yawned, nodded and giving a slightly muffled ‘uh-hu.’ “Great news!” Shuichi could recognize Hiro’s voice and perked up slightly, at least it wasn’t work.

“What is it?” he asked, trying not to yawn again. He wanted to go back to sleep. He wanted to go back to sleep really badly.

“They caught the girl from the concert!” he exclaimed over the phone and Shuichi perked up as well.

“Really?!” he asked excitedly, catching himself afterwards and clamping a hand over his mouth. Yuki probably didn’t want to be disturbed, wherever he was. “So you mean I don’t have to worry anymore?” he asked happily.

“I wouldn’t know about that. K and Sakano want you in here tomorrow morning to record that song. Seems like it’s already a big hit!” Hiro exclaimed and Shuichi could barely suppress his excitement.

“I’ll be there!”

“Late…” Hiro corrected him and he stuck his tongue out at his best friend.

“Who cares if I’m late, at least I’ll be there,” he countered, sliding over to the edge of his bed, fingers tracing along his necklace happily. “I have something to show you tomorrow, okay? I gotta go.” Hiro nodded and said his goodbye before Shuichi hung up the phone, sliding out of Yuki’s bed and heading for the living room, knowing Yuki was probably typing away on his story again. He really needed to relax sometimes.

“Great news, they found her! Sooooooo…whatcha working on?!” he asked happily as he glomped onto his lover’s back, staring at the screen intently. The pages were already printing out and Shuichi couldn’t help but watch as the computer showed progress.

“A story that just came to me,” Yuki answered and Shuichi smiled brightly as Yuki kissed his hand softly.

“’Bloodred Valentine.’ Sounds interesting,” he stated with no particular interest, more interested in Yuki himself than his books. He blinked as he felt something wet against his palm and leaned over to where he could see his face, nearly falling over when he caught sight of Yuki crying. “What’s wrong?” he asked, sitting down on his lap and wiping the tears off his face.

“Nothing. Just thinking a little too hard,” he commented and Shuichi shrugged, leaning against Yuki as he continued to stare at the screen, trying his hardest to read the words from behind the printer display but he eventually gave up.

“So, what’s it about?” he asked, kind of interested in what would have such a serious affect on Yuki. It took a lot to make him cry, at least as far as Shuichi knew.

“Read it when it comes out. I’m sure you’ll be surprised,” he commented and Shuichi pouted.

“That’s not fair! I want to be the first person to read it!” he whined and Yuki clamped a hand over his mouth.

“Just buy yourself a copy if you’re so curious. I’m not letting you read it,” he commented, pulling his hand away. Shuichi pouted before snapping his fingers, thinking of a wonderful idea.

“I’ll just read it while you’re asleep!” he cheered and Yuki laughed, running fingers through his lover’s hair.

“Thanks for the warning. I guess that means I won’t sleep tonight.” Shuichi was about to argue before he thought about that and started whining again. Yuki laughed as Shuichi continued to try and think of more ways to read his story before anyone else, finding easy ways to avoid all of them.

“You’re later than usual today,” Suguru commented as Shuichi walked into the recording room in a daze, face buried in a book. He would have been relieved at the reassurance that the singer was still literate, if he had managed to make it to work on time. But, since he hadn’t, Suguru was merely pissed off.

“Sorry, had to buy something,” he stated in a daze, fingers reaching up to clutch at his necklace as he read it. Suguru rolled his eyes as Shuichi continued to stare at the book.

“How far are you in it. One page, two pages?” Hiro asked teasingly and Shuichi shook his head. “What do you mean? You actually made it three pages into the book?” he asked and again Shuichi shook his head.

“Dedication,” he stated and the entire room was dead quiet for a few seconds as they wondered why Shuichi hadn’t managed to get any farther than that. Hiro walked over to him and read it over his shoulder, smiling happily as he read the words.

‘To my life, my love, my life. Shindo Shuichi, my little piece of Bad Luck.’

“Yuki!” Shuichi screamed as he ran into Yuki’s apartment, glomping the writer immediately. “I love you SOOOOOO much! So so so so so so so so so so so SO much!!!” he screamed, still tightly attached to his lover. “Would you really do that if I died?!” he asked, looking up at him with tears hanging in the corner of his eyes. Yuki couldn’t help but smile, wrapping his arms around his love gently.

“Of course I would.” His worries about whoever had shot Shuichi returning had kept him from sleeping that night, and instead of doing so he has written the story. It was selling fairly well, especially for the first day, and Yuki was very pleased. Not because it was selling well, but because Shuichi had liked it, not mention having have read it.

Shuichi didn’t say anything simply cried happily, clinging to Yuki like mad. It was like something from a dream. To know that Yuki really cared for him had been worth so much to him, to read his book and see that Yuki’s reaction had meant even more.

“Let’s hope we never find out,” Shuichi commented and Yuki nodded his agreement, kissing the top of Shuichi’s head softly.

“Never. I’ll never let you leave me,” he commented and Shuichi looked up at him, eyes shining. “I love you, Shuichi.”

Oh and she finishes her first ever sappy ending!!! I know this chapter is INCREDIBLY short compared to my other chapters but oh well, I just wanted to explain it all. If you didn’t understand it (which I’m sure many of you didn’t) the fanfic was Yuki’s story ‘Bloodred Valentine,’ which he was writing after the first time Shuichi got shot. (I got this idea from my little brother and I couldn’t let it go to waste). It also kind of explains the other characters usage. I dunno, I hope you liked it! PLEASE review and tell me what you think. This is the longest fanfic I’ve ever written (and I finished it, too!)

I thank all of you who actually got this far.

Luv,

Psycho gurl
