and also for romeo-sama birthday, of course =)
chapter 1
Chapter 2
Silence crept in as two people battled with each other’s feelings. They didn’t know what to do, what to say or even, what to expect. This thing shouldn’t be happening to them. A so-called supernatural event had entirely shifted their tale into an uncertain ending. He didn’t want it to be tragic but honestly, the control wasn’t in his hands anymore. Those hands could only bring fortune, but not happiness.
“I’m sorry.” Were the only words that he wanted to say.
Ryo couldn’t even lift up his head to see his lover. He was ashamed of himself; who had been so selfish and irresponsible. In just a moment, he gained everything but lost the most valuable possession of his life, Tatsuya.
The other man in front of him couldn’t bear to see the pain in Ryo’s eyes. His natural impulse had automatically made him got up from the sofa and tried to wash away the tears.
“-DON’T!!” Tatsuya stopped halfway, face full of shocked expression.
“Are you crazy?! You could’ve been dead if you touch me, stupid!”
Really, Tatsuya didn’t care if it takes his life to take away the grief in Ryo’s face. It hurts him more on seeing the vulnerable lover of his.
“Ryo…”
“GO AWAY!” What more could he say to make things better? At that point, keeping Tatsuya away was the only appropriate gesture of loving him.
“…Maybe we could find the person who did this to you! Trust me Ryo, it’s all gonna be alri-“
“DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND??!! STAY AWAY FROM ME! I’M A MONSTER! I’LL END UP KILLING YOU!”
Shit. Those words stabbed him right across the center of his heart. How could Ryo do this to him? He could forgive the other for his selfish decision, but for throwing away their love; for not trusting their relationship? Ryo should’ve known him better.
“I never thought-“
“Get out.”
With a broken heart, Tatsuya walked towards the door; finding whatever left of his strength to leave his lover behind. But before he left, Tatsuya took a handkerchief from the coffee table and placed it gently onto Ryo’s face.
“Wh- What are you doing?”
He shushed the other. Tatsuya could no longer talk because of the tears which kept running down through his cheek. With shaking lips, he kissed Ryo for one last time. A short, simple peck but it means everything to him.
“Goodbye, Ryo.”
***
2 year had passed by..
Soon after they had broken up, Ryo resigned from Johnny’s Entertainment. He doesn’t have to work to earn a living anymore. Just by one touch, everything would turn into gold. But still, what is this longing inside his heart?
From what he last heard, Tatsuya had moved on with his life. Ryo was actually quite surprised to learn that the other had chosen his best friend, Yamapi as his lover. As much as he knew that Pi had had a deep crush on Tatsuya since forever, deep down inside it still hurts to know the truth.
It was by accident that Ryo checked on his calendar and realized; Tatsuya’s birthday would be in a week’s time. He couldn’t help but to imagine what would Pi could’ve gotten by that time, where would they be celebrating his birthday and so on. It hurts, yes. But at least it gave him warmth on the inside to know that someone had taken a good care of his beloved.
***
“Hey you know that new Italian restaurant? Maybe we should go there.”
Silence. Yamapi pouted upon receiving no response from the other.
“Are you even listening to me, princess?”
Princess. Gosh, that name is too familiar to him. But no matter how many times Yamapi repeat that words, it could never be the same as what Ryo would’ve said. He was harsh yet gentle. Tender yet poisonous.
“..Urm? I really don’t care. I’m just hungry.” He was trying to cover up his messed up mind with a delicate smile. The last thing he wanted to do is hurting the man in front of him. Yamapi had been such a great companion for these couple of years.
“Ne…it is exactly two days before you-know-what-event…” Yamapi showed a meaningful smile.
“Hey, you should’ve surprised me! While I should pretend to forget my birth date. Don’t you know the usual birthday ritual, Tomo?” Tatsuya pretended to smack Pi’s shoulder.
“Well, let’s just say that I wanna make different ritual. It’s tiring to pretend, no? Besides, instead of showing fake surprised face, you can choose your birthday present and be happy about it!”
I want happiness.
“Um well then….I want a new pair of boxing gloves!”
***
All of his friends were there, so did his colleagues from KAT-TUN and Yamapi. As Tatsuya closed his eyes and blew out the candles, he made one wish. He wished for Ryo’s happiness. May forever Ryo’d be in blissful life. He had try to ask anything for him, but then Tatsuya realized that nothing could’ve make him more contented than seeing Ryo’s smiling face again.
Tatsuya suddenly felt his hands being pulled away from the crowd.
“Hey, it’s time.” Yamapi whispered to his ears.
“Eh?”
“Your present. I left them at home. Let’s do some pick up.”
“Owh. Okay then.”
***
They remained silent along the journey. Only the song of Yamapi’s favorite band, Southern All Stars filled in the confined space. As the road was getting wet with drops of evening rain, Tatsuya suddenly realized something.
“Tomohisa…This isn’t….”
“It’s the way to Ryo’s house, yes.” Yamapi said calmly, his eyes were still fixed to the slippery road.
Tatsuya couldn’t comprehend on what exactly had happened. Did he say something wrong? Did he accidentally slip on his tongue and said Ryo’s name before?
“I don’t understand.”
“Don’t be silly, princess. I know everything. In fact, everyone knows about the truth that you could never give up on Ryo. He would always be there, lingering inside your mind and soul..”
He felt guilty. For thinking that everything would turn to normal again once he had moved on with his life. He felt guilty for lying to Yamapi, who had loved him as much as he could up until that moment. Tatsuya felt guilty for leaving Ryo just like that. He could’ve tried harder.
“A part of you died when you left him. I see that in your eyes, Tatsuya.” Yamapi said as his blue sport car entered the front of Ryo’s apartment.
“Go. Retrieve your present.” Yamapi said, trying his best to sound casual. But he could never hide the hurt in the eyes; of letting go the most precious person in his life.
“I’m sorry….and thank you, Tomohisa.” A last peck on the cheek and Tatsuya ran as fast as he could, covering himself from pouring rain; and also his excitement of finally seeing the man that he had always loved.
***
He wore gloves on his hands, probably trying to avoid from touching inappropriate things and turned them into solid gold. His face unshaved; with this gloomy kind of expression. Tatsuya swore he wanted to hug the other man upon seeing the image in front of him.
“Tat- Tatsuya….? Why are you here?”
He smiled; the corners of his eyes were glittering from tears. “To pick up my birthday present.”
Ryo took some time to process those words inside his mind. Then, he excused himself for a while. He then came back with a piece of gold. It was actually a golden handkerchief. Tatsuya suddenly remembered the last time he was there, 2 years ago.
“Happy birthday.” Ryo paused for a while, trying to find appropriate word to end his wish.
“…….Princess.”
With those words, Tatsuya quickly stepped towards Ryo, his face was so close to the other.
“What the hell are you trying to do?!” Ryo panicked, while stepping a few steps behind.
“I don’t really care if you turn me into gold, Ryo. At least I die in you hands. By the man that I truly love.”
Ryo couldn’t manage to say anymore words when Tatsuya’s lips captured his. A single tear came down from his closed eyes.
No! I’ve killed him!!!!
…….But wait. Ryo slowly opened his eyes. Revealing his Tatsuya; his cheek flushed from the kiss moments ago.
“What…happened?”
“I don’t know.” Tatsuya also was surprised to see himself still pretty much alive. He checked on his own body. No, definitely no trace of gold. He couldn’t understand it just like Ryo.
They kept quiet for a while before Ryo realized something.
“What did you wish on your birthday?”
“Um….I wished for your happiness.” Tatsuya simply said. With that, Ryo quickly hugged the other tightly.
“I wished for your happiness too.”
He had finally found the answer. They; had finally broken off the Midas’ spell with each other’s love.
Always choose happiness over wealth; because we could eventually find wealth in the happiness itself.
Ryo had made his decision. And both of his wealth and happiness are in a person by the name of Ueda Tatsuya.
-THE END-
A/N: Sorry for the long delay. I had to be motivated by something important; such as tatchan's birthday to finish this :P
Anyway, Happy Birthday, Romeo! =)
btw, lj cut is a pain in the a** :D
and also for romeo-sama birthday, of course =)
