Blue Breeze, Green Waves, and Red Teardrops

A/N: Haiii I'm just about done revamping this. It's bringing back so many memories...

At (6 years ago), Ryuichi was 25 and Eiri was 16. It was right about the time that Kitazawa tried to rape Eiri. For the story to go right, I had to mess up time a bit.

At (3 years later), it is 3yl (years later) than the 6yl part. Ryuichi is 28, and leaving for America because of Eiri turning all, 'Damn the world and all it's inhabitants. Grr, grr, grr' (I took this line from another fanfic I read, because it just fits him so well! PLEASE DO NOT SUE!). Ryuichi can't decide between Eiri and Tohma, so he leaves for America to sort out his problems.

(Another 3 years later)

Tohma Seguchi stood near a large, crude poster of a Hawaiian woman wearing a skimpy bathing suit. An odd poster for such a place. That place was the Japanese airport, and Seguchi had been waiting quite some time for whoever it was. He had been in the same spot, staring blankly ahead at the port, for nearly an hour, and it was beginning to irk him. After 3 years of abandonment, it was doubtful he would even come back.

3 years…it truly had been quite some time since he left…It was likely he had changed some…possibly become more beautiful…

Seguchi blinked twice, to rid himself of the ever-present, infectious images that so haunted him. "Not the time for this…" he spoke to no one in particular.

This long wait was beginning to agitate him-the plane has arrived 15 minutes ago, damnit-when his glimmering irises spotted a bouncing mop of moss-green fluff and long, swaying blonde locks heading directly towards him.

Gathering his courage-which was quite odd; normally he had all the courage one human being could ever even have in their short lives-and placing that creepy smile on his creamy-colored face, he concealed any true positive emotions. K knew to stand off away from them, and he did just so. Meanwhile, Seguchi and Ryuichi had a custom staring contest. Ryuichi was scanning Tohma's eyes, gestures, and body positions in order to see what his reaction was to all this. Unfortunately, he was having no luck. Tohma was a blank ticket and it was not helping to ease Ryuichi's emotions. Finally deciding to test him further-although taken as a gesture of utter and complete glee-he promptly glomped Tohma. Tohma staggered somewhat, and K smirked at him.

"H-hello, Ryuichi... long time no...-cough- see...!" Tohma began turning blue as Ryuichi squeezed his neck harder and harder.

"Uh... Ryuichi, you might want to loosen your grip... he's suffocating..." K said slowly.

"Aah! Right!" embarassed, Ryu released him too soon as Seguchi stumbled around more; he quickly regained his balance, which left enough time in between the compusure and non-composure for Ryuichi to have a good look into his soul...

Which was a complete messs of emoitons. Unfortunately, not enough time to decipher the emotions as Seguchi put on his mask, once again, and began to snatch Ryuichi's wrist.

"Ryuichi... we must be leaving. There is much to catch up on..." Seguchi smiled, genuinely, in that calm manner only he could accomplish.

Grinning hugely, Ryuichi let himself be dragged along, completely forgetting Claude.

"..."

Silence.

It wasn't a tense silence-such as when someone says something they realize only afterwards they shouldn't have said-but more like a comfortable silence between lovers.

What an odd way to start off a visit with Tohma-chan, eh, Ryuichi? Kumagoro said slyly.

'Kuma-chan? You haven't spoken at all today...'

I felt you needed your time alone. It smirked wider.

'Kuma... what are you concocting?'

Meanwhile, Seguchi was occasionally glancing to him, Ryu's expression becoming more and more contorted.

"Tohma-chan?"

"Mm?" he responded absent-mindedly.

"C-can we... go to your home for tonight, please? I'm tired of jet lag..." he whispered sincerely.

"Certainly."

As they reached Tohma's large-scale two-story house, Ryuichi couldn't help but still be in awe.

"It's so big. I can't believe you and Mika-san can live in such a large house!"

"Oh, I am not living with Mika now." Tohma slowly opened the door.

Immediately, Ryuichi's hopefulness perked up and his hyperness seemed to increase dramatically.

"You aren't?"

"No... I discovered, just recently, there is someone whom I care more for."

"Oh?" Ryuichi and Kumagoro asked simultaneously, but only one was heard.

"Yes... although I never realized it before, I care for him much more than I did Mika."

More silence.

Ryuichi followed him into the house, still lost deep in thought...

'Who is it he cares more for than I? Oh, of course...Eiri. It's such a twisted love triangle, with no recovery and all the boundaries to be set. So irregular and yet cliche; I wonder how Eiri reacts to his advances? Does he accept them, reject them, respond to them wholehearted-'

"Ryuichi."

He heard hsi name being spoken softly, and hsi head jerked up to glance at Tohma's visage. There was a tension in it, of some sort, and Ryuichi wished to relieve that tension in any way possible.

Remember what Fujisaki used to always say? (1) "Simple, yet wonderous and beautiful. Live like that - with simple grace." Don't dawdle on it, just do it.

"Tohma." He controlled his voice to a steady, even level, and Seguchi was half-afraid of Ryuichi scurrying off again-possible to Germany, or France this time

"If I were to kiss you...how would you react?" It was time for him to ask, for an answer. They had been waiting for three years, and it was time...the tension was relieved.

However, Tohma only gawked. It was such an out-of-the-blue question-quite like Ryuichi's everyday questions from long ago, although it would take time to re-adjust to them-that was left dumbfounded and quite unawares.

It also left Ryuichi open to act.

Neither was completely unawares of them kissing each other, but it flowed through them, until they found themselves on the couch with bated breaths and hazy eyes.

"I do believe that answers my question." Ryuichi grinned cheekily. he casually flung Kumagoro to a cushioned chair on the opposite side of the living room, and told it to 'be a good Kuma and no peeking!' Seguchi, however, was more a man of actions than words, and just dragged Ryuichi in for several more kisses.

A/N: All revamped! Woohoo! I completely redid the final part,a dn I hope it's not as rushed as it was before. :3

Reviewer's Corner: (If your pennames have been changed, sorry.)

Stepher-chan: Neither did I. But in reality, it all worked out good, yes?

Kloudy Reignfall: Thanks for reading, then! Must check hit counts...

FadingFaith: It's not 'soon' but it's an 'update.' Don't kill me?

Extra Things:

(1) We: I have friend who looks a lot like Fujisaki. He said this (he should be a damn psychologist...) And I quoted it. Oh, and of course Ryu had to have known Fuji-kun before.
