Tohma sighed and stared at his laptop screen in boredom.

For once, there was no work to be done, but in his moment of spare time, he couldn't find a thing to do. Being stuck at home rather than at NG was never a good time for him, as other than work as NG's Shacho, and his keyboarding for Nittle Grasper, he'd honestly not had much to do for many years now.

Mika was off, doing whatever she normally did while he was at work. Tohma knew that she herself didn't work, she'd never had to with the income he brought in, so it was always puzzling where she went in her spare time. Most men might have been worried about such a thing, but Tohma was 100% sure she'd never do something as drastic as have an affair. She was just likely off shopping, or conversing with random friends he'd never gotten the time (nor urge) to know.

He'd long since stopped meeting her at the bar after work or between meetings. In fact, they rarely saw each other at all. Which was why his days off were always the same. He'd sit alone, bored, and anxious in the large empty house in complete silence. It was the days like this he thought about calling Sakano and offering him a butler job, but he always dismissed the idea in his head. Sakano already worked for him full time at NG. The man had no business getting of work just to come to his his afterwards to spiff up odds and ends. With the level of devotion he had for Tohma, he feared the man would neglect sleeping just to make him happy with the house by morning. It would have solved his loneliness for his days off, but would create an entire new problem.

Tohma was rather sure that Sakano's treatment of him was not purely professional. Had he known it at the time of hiring him, he'd have reconsidered his offer. He'd known Sakano years prior to him working with him at NG. Younger sibling of an old dear friend, not to get into the past however...

So... to his dismay, Tohma was reduced to calling Ryuichi. Ryuichi was never one to be bred. He always had something to do, no matter how litter, or how much free time he had at any given time. And Ryuichi KNEW Tohma, and relatively what he liked, and did not like, to do. He'd expected the brunette to suggest something normal for him, but even as he thought ut, he knew that NOTHING was ever normal coming out of his mouth.

Ryuichi had greeted him happily over the phone. Tohma gave a sigh of relief just from the silence breaking. Ryuichi had listed calmly to his predicament, and laughed at him for not knowing how to entertain himself.

"Well... you could write down the things that amuse you! Ten of them! It'll be fun, you'll have a really good laugh! I do it all the time!" He had suggested.

Tohma had wanted to bang his head on the desk before him at his idiotic suggestion. But... it WAS something to do.

So here he sat, at his computer, doing something only Ryuichi could think up...

Simple Amusements of Tohma Seguchi:

1. When I come to work at four in the morning and Mr. Sakano is already here, ready with tea.

It's times like that where I truly wonder...Does he even ever leave? Is he homeless? I should ask him some day... He's never NOT been at NG before my arrival.

2. When I allow myself into Eiri's apartment in the morning (after Shindou leaves of course...) and he's still asleep.

His adorable sleep looks take me back to the good days when we shared a bed in New York and he was still kind. He's never once lost his innocence so much that it wasn't still there while he slept. Although he's cold during the day, and has such hard eyes, he seems so gentle and happy as he mumbles in his sleep.

Oh how I miss it...

Damned Kitazawa...

3. When I imply to Shindou that I'm 'sleeping' with Eiri.

Kami knows that the only time Eiri and I could possible get it on with each other would be if he were severely drunk, or comatose, and my dear brother-in-law would kill me if I took advantage of him in his dazed drunken state, or medical emergencies, no matter how tempting...heehee...

4. Kittens.

Cute little fuzz balls that cuddle with you, but can turn 'Pet Cemetery' on you in .03 seconds, resulting in multiple lacerations and possible death.

Reminds me of family...

5. The look on Mika's face years ago after the 'Be There' concert encore...

She was so very, very horrified... but I would have honestly never thought she'd be there, no pun intended, as she'd never had the urge to see us play in concert before. And I REALLY didn't expect poor little Tatsuha to be there either...

I tainted the poor child's mind for eternity...

I must now protect Ryuichi from the perverted creature that I unintentionally, unwillingly, created...

Good times none the less...

6. The flustered panicked look on Eiri's face whenever I trick him into acting like his old self.

I've lost count of how many pecks on the cheek I've stolen, or the times he's fallen asleep with his head in my lap. Upon realizing his mistake, he goes beat red and all embarrassed like...so cute...

He also has the softest hair...

7. My cousin.

Sugaru is like a young me. That is enough to earn respect right there. However, he tends to act older than even I do. He'll probably go grey at an early age, and end up with far more wrinkles than I'll ever get in due time. He gets too stressed out too easily, and panics. Regretfully, he seems to be picking up on Mr. Sakano's personality as well. So long as he isn't in need of therapy, I'll let him continue on as his life leads him.

I pity him for constantly putting up with the combined forces of Shindou, Sakano, and K...

I'd go insane...

8. Ryuichi.

His...personality... has well worsened over the years... It seems as though he gets younger every year that he gets older. But one minute with him can cheer you up, no matter how bad of a day you've had. But nothing can erase my constant fear of him when we're on stage...

Like kittens, he can go evil in .03 seconds...

I have the constant fear that he'll attack and manhandle me on stage again, ( Be There concert yet again...) though it was Noriko's fault the one time he did... but still... it may take a lot to unnerve and embarrass me, but being freed from most of my clothes and molested on stage by your singer (and ex...love interest, mind you) in front of a full house including your wife and her youngest brother, is a dramatizing event, no matter what went through my head at the time.

9. Sakano. Again...

Though he's Bad Luck's producer, he spends more time with me in my office than a flea stays stuck to a dog. He's like a personal servant sometimes, even though I don't ask him to. He won't let me do much by myself...

He's like a puppy following it's master... It's kinda cute. He even buys me random things at random times if he thinks I'd like it, which I always do, but he does this even though I have more money than him... The time he bought me a thick white fluffy blanket, when he found me asleep under my office desk was wonderful, and I was truly grateful (despite having to frantically calm him down and assure him that I was not indeed dead and murdered by some rival company such as XMR). Sometimes I really want to give him a vacation, he needs, and deserves one, but he'd probably die if I even suggested it.

10. Noriko's daughter Saki.

That little girl is the most adorable thing I've seen. She puts up with a lot at home with her parents and their crazy lifestyles. I honestly hadn't expected Noriko to have children, of all people, before I myself, or other acquaintances of ours (of course...we will die of shock if Ryuichi EVER has children, so we were not expecting him first), but Noriko has done an excellent job of being a mother despite her musical career, and her much older husband.

I don't know how she does it, but I give the little girl credit. She's the cutest thing.

I have unfortunately been seeing her hang around little Michael, the Winchester kid, and son of 2 gun crazy Americans. Although he has shown no sign of joining in on his parents' disturbing lifestyles, I can only fear for the future.

...end... I think...

Tohma sighed and rested his head in his hands, looking back over the answers and chuckling. Unfortunately, as Ryuichi had limited the list to 10 things, he was now finished...and now, again, had nothing more to do with himself.

Yep, he was really bored...
