I was having a great day. Really. I got through to the third round which is great. Then I got a question about my secret relationship instead of my tennis, when exiting the courts. I didn't have any idea what was happening, honestly. You can see my shocked face on live TV. Then I was shoved this article by my manager afterwards.

Yukimura Seiichi has been taken?
The prolific tennis player, currently number 6 in the world tennis rankings after a long hiatus, who is openly gay has been sighted in Japan with an unknown person, holding hands and kissing in the Botanical Gardens. This raises the question for how long has this secret relationship being going on and who exactly is this mystery man?

The article goes on for ages with speculations and interviews with people I've never really exchanged more than a few words with, but they have pictures of Shiraishi and I. Which is...exactly what I didn't need right now. Thanks a bunch, media. Here comes the hate-mail from the people who forgot I was gay and the screams of despair from the fangirls and fanboys.



Didn't we get rid of those pictures? What happened? How do I even react to this? I'm worried for you, Kura. All it means for me is a lot of annoyance and trouble, what does it mean for you? Call me. Or send a message back here.

I don't know how Kura's doing, honestly, Oshitari-kun. He hasn't replied to anything I've sent him yet and it's already been a day. I'm worried. Especially since this was supposed to have been dealt with already. I was fairly certain that he'd removed all of the copies of the pictures.

But he has a habit of disappearing because of his PI investigations without a word, so he probably went on something like that. If you hear from him, send a call my way?

... I will. I definitely will.

I kinda feel obligated to warn you though. Shiraishi has a habit of disappearing period. Especially when he feels like he caused trouble, or put people in danger. (Don't ask. Or better yet, ask him.)

He has this habit of running away, so sometimes you have to yank him back. I used to be the same.

Thank you.

The problem is that he's too used to secrets to let other people in, it's what I've seen by how easily he keeps information from people. I can't say I blame him entirely, but it's supremely frustrating.

I'll give him space for a little longer before I pull.

It's frustrating, right?

One advice I can give you, if you notice he's doing it, call him out on it and try to talk with him about it.

And giving him space can be a double-edged sword sometimes It gives him time to disappear to the end of the world but I'll leave that part to you. It's not really my place to tell you what to do. Jus relaying my experiences. I'd hate to see him repeating the same mistakes, especially since he's so happy with you.

[ooc: strikes deleted, because kenya thinks shiraishi needs to tell yuki things himself. I hopw you don't mind he's butting in like this either. he's really glad that Shiraishi found someone like Yuki and would like to see them keep it.]
