(Eiri Yuki POV)
It was quiet. This was the sign for Eiri Yuki to start worrying. His pink haired menace of a lover being quiet was strange enough on it's own, but Shuichi being quiet while Yuki was WORKING was unheard of. He
sighed and saved his work, then quietly made his way to the entertainment room. He'd noticed his lover go in when he'd headed for his study. He'd heard Nittle Grasper music for a while. Then this silence. He
peeked into the room, noticing his lover on the couch with a book open in front of him on the coffee table. He raised an eyebrow, then went back to his study, figuring this was probably a good thing. What Shuichi
was studying so intently he didn't know nor care. It kept him quiet. Yuki went back to his writing. Later, he heard music again. It wasn't Nittle Grasper, he could tell by now. It was... English? He saved his work
quickly. His lover was listening to what sounded like some american song. He figured this could be good, or bad. He wondered if Shuichi had actually been paying attention to the music he liked. He didn't hate
japanese music, not at all. But he prefered knowing the lastest american music. He knew Shuichi had been studying several strange books lately, maybe this had to do with it? He peeked into the study. He placed
the song, Pictures Of You by The Last Goodnight. One of his own favorites lately. So Shuichi had been... paying attention and learning English. He guessed, listening to his lover singing. He wasn't bad, but he was
still having trouble. Yuki grinned. He went back to his study, bringing up his own music. He clicked the song he wanted, the same Shuichi was singing to. He paused it before it really began. His door was open, and
he could still hear Shuichi singing. Once Shuichi was done he'd start the music. It didn't take long before Shuichi seemed to have given up, turned the music off, then gone back to his studying. Yuki started the
song, starting to sing along with it. Shuichi always seemed to learn best by example. So, Yuki would swallow his pride and help the kid. Maybe he was making a song with more English in it. Spicy Marmalade came
to Yuki's mind, and he pushed it out of his mind. Shuichi had at least improved. He knew Shuichi was now outside his office, listening to him sing. It made him... dare he admit it, happy. Once the song was over,
Yuki switched the songs. Hot 'n Cold by Katy Perry. This song was a risk, who knew whether Shuichi would blab about his taste in music. Artists like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry were Yuki's little guilty pleasure.
Personally, he loved this song, it reminded him a bit about a lot of people he knew, himself included. He sang along with this song too, going back to his writing.
