Note: What Rui is doing on this pink-red-heart day called Valentine's?
"Could you finally focus, Rui?" Umi looked at him, a little angry. "If we'll have to play the same song for the fifth time, I'll take Tohya's drumsticks and stick them in your eyes. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, oversensitive leader" replied Rui then he got hit with a flip-flop.
The rest of the rehearsal went quite quickly. The bassist was getting annoyed with Tomo and Tohya. They had been in love with each other for a long time, but couldn't confess their feelings. They've had so many opportunities to do it, not like Shunsuke. He just looked forward to any twoman performance with MoNoLith, so that he could finally see Shuhei. So that he could talk to him. He could, of course, make a phonecall, but he didn't want to be intrusive.
He came home and hung his jacket on a hanger. He looked at the calendar.
"Valentine's Day is tomorrow" he thought.
He was scared because of this day. He was afraid of this feeling of loneliness, which he always felt this day. And it will be the first Valentine's Day, when he's in love with Shuhei.
He just wanted to hug him. Is that too much?
* * *
They had the day off because Umi and Yuh have decided to spend this time together. They'll probably end up in bed, horny guys.
Rui put on his jacket and shoes and tied a blue scarf from Tomo around his neck, then left the house. He didn't like Valentine's Day, but they had one profit - a delicious cake was sold at his favorite pastry shop. And only on that day he could get it. Well, it was heart-shaped, but the combination of probably all red fruits in existence gave an amazing effect.
He entered the pastry shop calmly. He was also looking for interesting cookies for Tohya and Tomo and some pralines for Umi and Yuh. Behind him, he heard the sound of the doorbell informing the casshier and him that another customer had entered the shop.
"Hi, Rui-kun" he heard a familiar voice.
He jumped, tripped over his own legs and fell on the floor. He looked up. He saw Shuhei, who was staring at him with... Exactly. What was this emotion in Shuhei's eyes?
"Hi, Shuhei-san. You scared me" said Rui, when he helped him to stand up.
"Don't worry, I already stopped counting, how many times I fell down today. Winter is bad, and icy sidewalks are even more so."
"I agree with you" nodded Rui. "Well... Do you want to buy some valentine's candies for someone?" asked Rui, returning to looking for sweets for his friends.
"Takafumi asked me for a heart-shaped lollipop. He's sometimes a big child" replied Shuhei, crouching down in front of the cookie display.
"Takafumi? Are you in relationship?" Rui was surprised.
"What? Relationship? Haha, no, he just seems to like such cute sweets" Shuhei chuckled. "I'm single, Rui. That's why Valentine's Day kind of irritates me. Too many candy covers and couples in love in the streets. More than that, Ryu and Keita finally got together. Massacre, I say."
"I have the same situation with Umi and Yuh" said Rui, then asked a cassier for red fruit cake, cherry pralines and raspberry cookies. "But at least they're not as blind as Tomo and Tohya. Sometimes I want to use a certain matchmaking technique I've heard about."
"What technique? Maybe I will use it on Takafumi and Hayato" Shuhei handed the lollipop to the seller. "Hayato asked me and the rest for help, because Takafumi will soon need to buy a white cane, really."
"I don't understand how they, when they spend half their life together, don't notice that the other one loves them too" Rui sighed, taking the shopping bag. "When two people are in two different bands, it's still logical, but if they're in one band, I don't understand such people."
"I agree with you" nodded Shuhei. "So what's the deal with this matchmaking method?"
"You go to one and push it against the other. But it's in the extreme case, when you have enough" Rui explained. "Used by Zill on Soan and Hitomi. I'm not surprised at all, to be honest."
"I don't know about Soan, but Hitomi had crush on this panicking drummer even in Fatima" said Shuhei.
"Is there a person in the music world, who hasn't noticed it?"
"I guess only Asagi didn't see it with his right eye, because his hair was blocking his sight, but with his left eye he probably noticed it very well" replied Shuhei. "They beat all the blind people on the head."
"Exactly" nodded Rui. "Shuhei?"
"Yes?"
"Are you up for a cup of coffee?" asked Rui.
Shuhei nodded in response.
* * *
They were sitting in the cafe, both staring into their own cups. They didn't know, what they should talk about.
"What do people like in Valentine's Day?" asked Rui, stirring the biscuit in his coffee.
"I don't know" Shuhei shrugged. "Are they excited about the red and pink around?"
"Hearts everywhere?"
"Couples chattering to each other, strolling the streets?"
"Romantic comedies that broadcast over and over all day?"
"Cute songs on the radio all the time?"
"Cupids in their pants, which can be seen in every shop window?"
"Special promotions in shops with clothes, so that the girls could seduce their boyfriends in an airy petticoat?"
"Flowers half the price in flower shops?"
"Valentine's offers for couples in restaurants?"
"Post office strewn with postcards, because someone is unable to confess their feelings in person?"
"That you can have a romantic dinner with candles in the shape of roses and end up in bed in a shape of a big heart?"
"Nonsense" commented Rui. "But you know what pisses me off the most?"
"What?" asked Shuhei.
"That people on this day keep saying "I love you" over and over again. As for me, it should be said more often."
"How often?"
"Everyday. Starting today" Rui leaned over to Shuhei and kissed him in the lips. "I love you, Shuhei."
"I love you too, Rui" Shuhei smiled gently. "But it was bland..."
"Nonsense. Sometimes generic things are good too" said Rui, standing up. "Come with me. We'll go to my place, eat the best cake in the world and end up in an ordinary bed with mouse print sheets."
"I like mice" Shuhei grabbed Rui's hand. "Now let's leave this luscious kingdom of hearts."
"Good idea" Rui closed the cafe door behind them.
Perhaps one day he'll like this red-pink atmosphere. But for now he has enough of it, even if he's no longer a single.
The end
