Synopsis:
Yuri has finally achieved his dream to live a normal life. Living independently, having normal college friends, taking a normal college course, and having the most normal college life. But he did not expect it to be short-lived. Because it seemed like Ryosuke wanted Yuri to stop running away from where he belonged, to go back where he belongs, and to stay where he would belong.
It all started with Ryutaro's last gift.
Note: Chinen-centric
Moonlight
It was your 20th birthday, and you received the best gift from your most beloved person. The most unexpected surprise, yes surprise. And oh, how you hate it. Ironically, it was what your lover always do. And the last surprise he did several years ago was the one you hated the most. It was the worst.
But it was done long ago. You have already moved on and now living a peaceful new life. Without anyone from your past, and without anyone knowing your past. Well, until today, that is. When one of those you ran away from suddenly appeared without your knowledge.

Your day today started ordinary, well okay, a little bit more special since you have been receiving greetings since 12am, whether through sms, mails, or other social working sites. Your birthday is not a secret, your friends know it, but you never made a big deal out of it. You want the celebration, if there will ever be, to be as simple as possible.
But your friends never wanted that. They want some chaos in your life so reminding the people you know of your birthday was not enough, they had to announce it on the bulletin board where every student, professor, staff in your college passes through when entering the building. Now people, you know and not, gave you glances and smiles, greetings as well. Of course, out of courtesy, you respond to everyone of them. As much as you are thankful, you also find it very troublesome. You sighed first thing you entered the building. Your friends are gonna get it, you darkly thought. You never knew that it was just a tip of what was coming.
The room was loud when you entered. Friends gave you light hugs and smiles. This time, you sincerely replied to each of them. For the last three years you spent your time with them, they already became a part of your life especially Arioka Daiki, your bestfriend.
"Treat me?" he was grinning widely at you. His chin was resting on his palm as he seated at your seat leisurely.
You glared at him. You perfectly knew that he was one of the 'bulletin board culprits'. "Move!"
"Whoa, how scary." He made a sad face. "And it's even your birthday."
You just sighed and waited him to move to the space next to yours.
Soon after, your professor arrived with Nakajima Yuto, another close friend of yours. He's what you always call 'technician' since he always operates the tools and equipment inside your room. His usual task is to connect the laptop to the projector for the viewing of the entire class. After the preparation, he turned off the light and the class turned silent. Yuto found his seat on your other side.
Usual, so you thought. It never occurred to you the surprise your friends thought this time. The video started playing.
"Happy birthday, Chii!" Both Inoo Kei and Takaki Yuya exclaimed.
It was a message video. Everyone inside gasped as they recognized the two. Inoo Kei, a famous producer of Japan. And Takaki Yuya, one of the leading actors of the present time. 'They know Chii?!' was a visible question on everyone's faces.
"How is it, surprised?" said Inoo. Certainly, you were surprised. You did not see this coming.
"But this is nothing compared to the main dish!" Yuya bragged.
'Main dish, huh?' you thought. Then noticed that Yuya and Kei were holding hands. You knew that those two were close but never did anything like holding hands because Kei was Yabu's. 'Don't tell me they broke up?' Your eyebrows met. 'Now, that's another surprise. Yuyan and Inoo-chan.'
"I've got more to say but I'll keep them till we see each other again." Inoo continued.
"As for the main dish, here it goes..." said Inoo and Takaki.

"Will you marry me?"
You eyes widened. Your body, frozen. No, it was not from someone around you now. But you knew the voice so much, so much that you winced because of the pain you felt. You clenched your fist and tightened your jaw, unconsciously. The background music started to play, it sounded so familiar. Everyone inside the room looked at you but you did not feel any of them. Their eyes show surprise, too.
A pat on your shoulder brought you back to your senses. You saw Yuto, his eyes looking at you understandingly.
"Relax," Daiki added. And his smooth voice helped you to calm down.
You steadied your eyes on the video. It was the scene Ryutaro, your lover, proposed to you when you were seventeen. You wanted to laugh at the thought that he was only fifteen that time.
"Do you even need to ask that,idiot?" Followed by a beautiful laugh from you.
He pulled you closer into his body and trapped you in his arms. "Don't call me an idiot! I was nervous, you know?"
"Seriously?"
He smirked. "Yeah, pretty serious."
The video continued, clips and images of you together.
"What are you doing?" Ryutaro appeared at your studio's door, a cup of hot chocolate on one hand and the camcorder on the other.
"Work." You answered briefly without even turning to look at him.
"It's already 2am. Get some sleep." He put the camcorder at a stable place but made sure to capture your place. He moved toward you and offered you the cup of chocolate.
You received it with a smile and muttered a small thanks. "I need to finalize this song arrangement. Yabu-kun's recording will start in a few days."
"Need some help?"
"No, I'll be done soon."
"Then, need my kiss?"
A grin appeared on your tired face. "That would greatly help."
Then a tear dropped before you could even blinked.
"Grumpy Yamada Ryosuke!" The cam focused on Yamada who was busy grilling the barbecues. Takaki laughed. "He's in a pretty bad mood since we suddenly dragged him here and made do the cooking." Then moved the focus to your location.
"Chii, Ryuu-chan, look here!" Takaki Yuya called. You both looked at the camcorder he was holding. You immediately pulled the meat out of the barbecue stick Ryutaro was holding in front of you while he waved and said 'Yaho!'. It was a small barbecue party held at a beach to celebrate Yabu's release of new single and Takaki's new movie.
"Stop that, Yuyan. Don't you think it's better to record those two." You pointed Yabu and Inoo walking hand-in-hand walking toward your location. "That's pretty sweet."
"Oh, so we're not?" Ryutaro's voice was full of sarcasm but he gave an innocent look.
Uh-oh. You knew Ryutaro doesn't like losing. "No, I did not mean that--" you were cut off when he suddenly carried you like a princess. You struggled a bit but later hold onto him and laughed heartily.
Takaki whistled. "Well, that was pretty sweet!" His laugh echoed as you two ran toward the beach.
You bit your lower lip, hardly, that it almost bled.
"Shh.. Yuri is sleeping." Ryutaro was whispering while looking at camcorder. Slowly, he moved it to focus on your sleeping figure.
"Wake up, Yuri-chaaaaan~" he sing-sang as he poured a glass of water on your sleeping face.
You bolted up and quickly realized what happened. "MORIMOTO RYUTARO!" you shouted furiously.
He just laughed. "Get up, we're going somewhere!"
You looked at the clock. "It's 12am! For God's sake!"
"Oh yeah! Happy 18th birthday, baby!" a peck on your forehead. "Let's go get your gift."
You looked at him suspiciously. "This is insane," so you say but followed him anyway.
"We're going somewhere." He smiled sweetly.
It was a five-hour trip and obviously, you fell asleep along the way. "Yuri really is a sleeper." Ryutaro frowned at the cam.
Leaving some details. The video moved to the scene inside a church, the two of you were standing in front of the altar. You remembered that it was an old church standing on top of a hill, with a lush green surrounding, and a view you could think you were in a dream.
Still amazed as you unsteadily looked at him, you asked, "Ryuu, this is?"
"Let's get married now. I want a wedding during sunrise."
Your eyes widened. "Now?!"
He smiled. "No good? We're engaged anyway."
You laughed. "Sure! I love your idea!"
You exchanged the vows and kissed. After the kiss, Ryutaro immediately pulled you out of the church to see the sun rising. In there, you kissed once more.
During the trip, you were the one holding the camcorder as you filmed Ryutaro driving back.
"How did you prepare all of this, Ryuu-sama?"
"It was tiring, you know? Setting all the camera and everything by myself." he bragged. "It was beautiful, right?"
You giggled. "Yes, yes."
"Just one 'yes' would do. Are you mocking me?"
"No, I'm loving you."
He could nothing but just smile widely at the retort of yours.
"But really, Ryuu, you love filming so much!"
"Because I want lots and lots and lots of our memories kept."
Wedding. It was the greatest gift you received on your birthday.
The video was showing your sleeping face resting on the hospital bed Ryutaro was lying in.
"Whoa, Yuri sure is beautiful even when asleep, ne?" Ryutaro was talking by himself while recording your face. But then there was a change in his voice as he said the following statements. "But he looks tired. He must be up looking after me this whole time. Get some good sleep, Sleeping Beauty!"
"Thanks for the memories!" Then he kissed your head. "I love you so much, so much, so muuuuch!" His voice cracked at the end and the video became unsteady because of his trembling. "So much that I don't want to leave you. I love you so much that I want to live with you forever. I want to watch you more, to care for you more, to stay with you more, to have more time with you---" he sobbed.
"I still don't want to die," it was a painful whisper. "I love you."
The video ended. This time, it was Yabu Kota that appeared on the screen. Another surprise for everyone. Yabu Kota is known as a very successful singer that sold millions of albums.
"Happy birthday to you, Chinen!" he greeted and sang the birthday song. "Well, I bet you are crying now. We present you Ryutaro's last gift: this video he made himself and the only song he wrote as the music background. It sounded familiar, right? It was the song he was humming to you when you sleep. He told us to handed it to you as his last birthday gift after he passed away but you suddenly disappeared so we never had the chance to give it to you last year. What to do with his gift, we leave it at your hands. And also, there's someone who has been searching for you all this time. He might probably be near you now." Yabu laughed. "This is getting too long. See you soon, again, happy birthday! And oh, it's been two years, why don't you try to love again?"
It was too much. All at once, the memories to locked were flooding your brain and it was getting painful. You stood up from your seat and walked out of the room when...
"Are you going to run away again?
You stopped on your steps right in front of the door and looked at the owner of that familiar voice. He was leaning against the wall and was looking straightly at you "Ryosuke..."
He moved towards you and gently pulled you into his arms. Unconsciously, you hugged him back, tightly.
He kissed the top of your head and said, "Happy birthday!"
End.
A/N: Super late birthday fic? Sorry, it just suddenly struck me when I saw the PV of Yamada's Moonlight. Plus it's been awhile since I last wrote.
Lose ends untied? Well, uhm, this was taken from my idea of a longer story. So in other words, this is like a part of a longer story. Unbeta'd. I'm sleep-deprived so I'll be checking the grammars and spellings tomorrow so for now, I apologize for the errors. Thank you very much for reading! Comments are seriously loved. :))
