Skip beat! fan fiction

Disclaimer: I do not own skip beat! (No matter how much I wish for it)

Author notes: Seeing that many skip beat fanfics out there is rather intimidating, so I wonder what possessed me to post my own fanfic up here. Oh well, I just hope it sounds logical and you guys enjoy reading it as much as I had creating this story. Feel free to give me "constructive criticisms", I promise I'll survive them.

Plot picks up from Valentines', and develops from there.

"Sho? Sho?"

Huh? Oh, it's just Shouko-san…

"What's the matter? Is the meeting now?" Leaning back, Sho stretched his legs on the table.

"In a few minutes. I'd just thought I should pass to you this first." Shouko held up a brightly wrapped box.

"More chocolates? Give or throw them away. I don't want anymore!" Sho grabbed a magazine and started flipping through it.

"Shouldn't you be glad that you got many chocolates? This is proof that you're popular!" Shouko started lecturing him.

Yeah, yeah… So what if I received that many chocolates? I've yet to receive them from he- Wait, what did she just say?

"Who did you say this chocolates were from again?" Sho blurted out.

"Didn't you listen to anything I just said?" Shouko was irritated. Not only was she interrupted mid-way, Sho was also apparently not listening to a single word she said.

"I said that they were from Kyou-"

Thump. Sho felt his heart beating extra fast.

"-ka-san. She's going to be directing your new PV and it seems her niece is a fan of yours. So you should keep those chocolates."

Thump. Sho now felt his heart practically sink with depression. Wait a minute! What am I depressed about? It's not as if I expect her to give chocolates to me even though she has been giving me chocolates year after year after year after year…

Heaving a deep sigh, he sank deeper into the chair. After all I did to her, I can hardly expect anything…

Looking at Sho, expectant then depressed, Shouko could not help but wonder how childlike her charge was when it comes to a certain someone.

"Were you expecting them to be from Kyouko-chan instead?"

"What? Of course not!" Sho pronounced stoutly, but his averted eyes told the truth.

Shaking her head slightly, Shouko said, "Anyway, it's time for the meeting, and I expect you to show a little courtesy to Kyouka-san, the director of your new PV. It certainly wouldn't kill you to."

Shrugging, Sho did not promise anything and led the way out of the room.

This meeting is BORING! That director isn't even that good-looking. Otherwise I would not feel this sleepy and bored beyond belief. I wonder if I can leave...

Shouko glanced sideways at her charge and saw him spacing out. Unbelievable, only 10 minutes into the meeting and he's already bored out of his mind. Could it be because the new director isn't his type? Shouko knew her young charge well. I can only hope something interesting comes up before he decides to leave the room…

"So I was thinking of giving Fuwa-san a slightly different image in this new PV" The director was saying. Seeing Shouko was going to object to this, she hurriedly added, " Don't worry, I'm not going to give him an image overhaul! After all, his cool, playboy image is what the girls love. I'm just going to add a new side to Fuwa-san. In this PV, I'm going to make it very romantic, something soft and fluffy. I'm very sure the girls would love Fuwa-san even more after this."

Shouko looked at her charge, and saw him paying more attention now. As expected, his image is of utmost importance.

"I think we can work with that…" Shouko spoke for Sho. "What do you have in mind?"

Relieved that Sho was not going to be difficult, Kyouka continued, "Well, a romance must also have a female co-star, and I was thinking of this girl. You've worked with her before, in the 'Prisoner' PV? Apparently she's getting quite popular, getting roles in 'Dark Moon' and filming 'Box'R'. Now, let me see..." Flipping through her file, the female director mumbled under her breath. "Give me a moment, I can't seem to find her information…"

"Kyouko…?"

Surprised, the director looked up, "That's her. My, you have a good memory don't you, Fuwa-san?"

Kyouko, me, romance…?
