Ooh no! Eiri (my snail Eiri) died! Ooh… I try so hard… well; I still have Hijiri, Mr. K, Zelos and Ryuichi… and I still have Hisoka (yellow beta fish) and Ed (red beta fish)… and the nameless goldfish.
On a better note… welcome to the final chapter of “For the Love of Fish”, formerly known as “Misspelled Love”. I decided to finish this fanfic up so I can get moving onto some Juvenile Orion fanfics. I’d feel guilty if I left all you people hanging just to go write other fanfics… sorry I didn’t update when I said I would… I’m an ass sometimes.
Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. And YES. It does have FLUFF between Yuki and Shuichi. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: In the first chapter.
WARNING: This isn’t necessary anymore…
“Care to explain what you did mean, then?” Mika asked in an irritated tone. (2)
Shuichi took a deep breath, holding it as he jabbed a finger against the side of the tank, startling Shu-chan, who swam away to hide behind Eiri-chan’s little toy laptop, of which the golden fish was picking at again and ignoring all the other fish and snails. “I was talking about the fish!”
The author let out a sigh and put a hand to his forehead, knowing this was going to be a very long and very strange explanation…
Once it was all explained – the names of the fish and snails and the almost creepy resemblance to each person the fish or snail had, Yuki and Shuichi were left being stared blankly at by both Tohma and Mika. All that information looked like it had gone right over Mika’s head, though Tohma actually seemed to be considering it, leaning down so his head was near Shuichi’s, looking into the tank.
He watched as Tohma-kun bit Shu-chan’s fin. Tohma shifted his eyes sideways to look at Shuichi, who returned the gaze, looking nervous. “So… you think that fish acts like me?”
“Don’t bite Shuichi, Seguchi,” Yuki suddenly said, nudging his brother-in-law in the side. Tohma grinned in response, giving the impression that had been exactly what he had been about to do, and Shuichi nearly had a heart attack.
However, Tohma stood properly, smiling calmly as if nothing at all had happened.
“I came to personally pick up those lyrics you were supposed to have written, Shindo-san,” Tohma stated. “I didn’t trust that Sakano or K-san would come and do it themselves, since they seem to go easy on you.”
“K-san? Easy on me? You must be imagining…” Shuichi started, but clamped his jaw shut at the glare Tohma had given him. This was Tohma’s excuse; chances were Tohma had only come to check and make sure Yuki’s mental stability wasn’t faltering because of the pink-haired singer. Without another word, Shuichi dug in his back pocket, pulling out a crumpled sheet of paper. Tohma took it, put it in his own pocket and then turned to leave.
Goodbyes were said quickly, and Mika and Tohma were soon gone.
“WAH!” Shuichi wailed after they had left, causing Yuki to twitch.
Even later that night, around dinner, Shuichi was still complaining about Tohma’s visit. He went on and on about why he thought Tohma had come, including some outrageous ideas of what would have happened if Shuichi hadn’t been there. Of course, Yuki both ignored and brushed off these complaints as he sat on the couch, reading quietly.
After a while, however, the vocalist seemed to notice that the author really wasn’t listening. So, rather than continuing to babble, Shuichi turned his head to the fish tank next to him, watching the aquatic animals as they swam around their confinement.
“Ah! Yuki!” Shuichi suddenly screamed, and Yuki quickly looked over, expecting to see something shocking. “Shu-chan is dead!”
That’s when Yuki noticed the pink fish floating belly-up at the top of the water, not moving at all except when the other fish poked at it curiously. One of the snails (Shuichi was too shocked to tell which) was crawling up and wrapping around Shu-chan. “Yuki!”
Yuki got up and slowly walked over, leaning down near the tank, watching with mild curiosity at first, even though Shuichi had turned around, whining about how it was unfair. “Ew… she’s being eaten.”
“AGH! Yuki that’s gross! Why Shu-chan, Yuki?”
“I dunno, maybe Tohma-kun picked on her too much…? Or maybe she committed fish suicide?”
“That isn’t funny!” Shuichi complained, leaning himself against Yuki’s legs, catching the writer off guard, in turn causing him to land on his butt on the floor. He glared at Shuichi, but the singer only pouted cutely at him. “You deserved it,” he said childishly.
Yuki turned his head away, closing his eyes as he did. Shuichi crawled up into his lap, leaning his face close to Yuki’s, until his nose bumped his cheek. “You’re just going to let her get eaten, aren’t you…?”
“Isn’t that better than flushing her down the toilet?”
“Maybe,” Shuichi replied, blinking. Then he hugged his love tightly around the shoulders. “Comfort me,” he said, although he didn’t sound like he really needed it. However, the blond played along and patted the younger boy’s back. Shuichi nestled close to Yuki, and didn’t get pushed away, so he grinned and hummed happily. The author rolled his eyes, but kept “pretending” to comfort Shuichi.
“Baka Shuichi…”
“But you love me!”
A sigh followed, but the comment was not denied.
(1) Whee! Snobby Tohma xx
(2) Who needs a bodyguard when one has Mika? But Mika’s cool.
You’ll need to have read chapter 5 in order to get this…
