(A/N): I really couldn't help myself. I just had to make this fanfiction. It's the opposite of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, only Gravitation style. I couldn't resist!
The Bet
Saturday was the guys night out. The men would get together, go out for several drinks, and end up crashing at one of their houses, suffering hangovers the next morning. But, it didn't really seem to matter to them, though it was a suprise that none of them were alcoholics, since they went drinking every weekend, and they didn't just drink two or three.
This night happened to be the night that everyone crashed at Shindou Shuichi's apartment. Upon request, K brought several coolers of beer and an assortment of other liquor with him, since none of them felt like going out that night. They decided to stay in, play some video games, look at porn magazines (just what guys would do, right?), and enjoy each other's company.
Sakano, the most nervous out of the entire group of men, wasn't a big fan of drinking, but once they got a few beers in him he was just like the others (wild, wacky, stupid, and horny). Nakano Hiroshi and Claude Winchester (aka Mr. K) were the rebels of the group, usually drinking the most and having the lesser of the hangovers. Shindou Shuichi was the most talented of the group having the best singing voice, aside from Nakano, who could play guitar and Claude who had a nag for handling guns. They all seemed to complete each other in a way, and they were all extremely close.
After around six beers each they were all getting tipsy, but still able to comprehend. That's when the trouble starts.
"Hey, have you guys seen that blonde guy Tohma's been hanging around with? Yuki Eiri, is that his name?" Nakano asked, chugging on his beer.
"Yeah, I've seen him around. Do you think he's Tohma's boyfriend? Hard to imagine that Mr. Leader of a recording company would have a boyfriend. He needs to come out of the closet." K said, making himself comfortable on the couch.
"He's hot." Shindou whispered, sipping carelessly on his beer.
Everyone choked on their drinks. They stared away at Shindou, boggle-eyed. Shindou blushed and looked at them in confusion.
"W-what?"
"Shu..." Nakano, Shindou's best friend, started to say but K interrupted him.
"You're gay?!"
"I...I don't know..."
"Either you are, or you're not. And, just so you know, I think it's totally awesome!"
Shindou looked up at K in shock.
"You think it's awesome?"
"Sure! Ain't nothing like a good little boy on boy love, right?!"
"K...calm down." Nakano said, a little frightened at K's outburst.
"Sorry." K mumbled, sinking into the couch cushion, obviously upset that he didn't get to finish speaking his mind.
"Now, Shuichi," Nakano began. "Why didn't you tell us about this before?"
"I thought that you guys would not be my friends anymore."
"That's a sorry excuse." Sakano said, sitting cross legged on the floor in front of Shindou, who was sitting in his leather recliner. "We wouldn't stop being friends with you because of that."
"Really."
They all nodded reassuringly. Shindou felt better knowing that his friends wouldn't leave him. He comforted himself into the recliner and continued to sip on the beer.
"Hey...I have an idea." K said with a menacing tone in his voice.
"What?" Shindou, Nakano, and Sakano looked nervously over at K.
"Let's make a bet. A bet that Shuichi can get Mr. Eiri to start dating him."
"What?!" Shindou spit his beer in K's face. "What the hell kind of a bet is that?"
"Yeah, and it would be perfect to write a song to." Nakano said, stroking his chin, comtemplating the idea.
"Some friends you are..." Shindou pouted, afraid of the idea of doing a bet, though he really wouldn't mind dating the guy.
"Come on, Shuichi!" Sakano urged. "Just think of the publicity you would bring the band!"
Shindou sat quietly for a long time, thinking the idea over in his head. He, for one, didn't think that it was a good idea. In fact, he was terrified of it. He felt that his friends were just using him for kicks. He looked around at their pleading faces, really hoping that they were too drunk to really know what they were talking about, but felt his stomach sink when he saw that they weren't.
"Fine."
"You'll do it?!" K asked excitedly.
"Yeah... How long do I have?"
"Um..how about ten days?" Nakano suggested. "That should give you enough time."
"Ten days? Don't you need to actually know a person before you can start dating them?!" Shindou asked angrily.
"Ah, it should be a piece of cake for you. You never meet a stranger, Shuichi." K said, patting Shindou's shoulder.
"Fine, ten days."
"I bet a hundred dollars that Shuichi can't land the guy."
"HIRO! What kind of a friend are you!?"
"A very good one."
"I bet that Shuichi can get the guy." Sakano said, taking a fresh beer.
"Thank you."
"Yeah, I bet that he can, too." K said happily, feeling accomplished at getting Shuichi to agree.
Shuichi grabbed another beer, thinking to himself that he was going to either have to get really drunk to shake this feeling off, or kill himself one. He didn't like bets. But...maybe it would be beneficial. Maybe, just maybe, that guy wouldn't be as hard as he thought...Maybe, the bet would work out. Maybe.
PLEASE REVIEW!
