Gravity. It keeps you rooted to the ground. In space, there's not any gravity. You just kind of leave your feet and go floating around. Is that what being in love is like? – Josh Brand and John Falsey, Northern Exposure

Shuichi stormed out of the apartment, the door slamming violently behind him. As he made his way to NG Studios, he thought back to the argument he'd just had with Yuki. The man could be so damned irritating! The coldness the man showed him at times had started to outweigh the few instances where he was actually tender towards Shuichi. And as for Shuichi, you might ask? He was sick of it. He'd been feeling this way for a long while now. It was now or never to do something about it. He wished there was some way that he could make Yuki realize his feelings for him. But what could he do that he hadn't already tried? Every attempt had backfired in his face, so he was now at a complete loss. Still muttering to himself, he stormed into the building, ignoring people who quickly got out of his way. They weren't about to take any chances and try to talk to him. Kind of like with a bear attack – you just play dead and hope they ignore you. Words of prayer were uttered after he'd left for his poor bandmates. They'd be the ones to deal with him now.

Doors everywhere cringed as the studio's door flew open, banging loudly as it slammed violently into the wall. The occupants of the room didn't know whether to run or hide as they witnessed Shuichi stalk into the room. To put Shuichi, who was normally gentle, into this kind of mood could only mean one thing. Yuki Eiri. Hiro, having known Shuichi the longest, summoned up the courage to walk over to his fuming friend and ask him what the matter was. Sitting down on the couch, he gingerly reached over and touched his friend's shoulder. Not knowing what to expect, he honestly suspected that Shuichi would explode at any minute. "Shuichi, what's the matter? Has something happened?" Correction, I should say that someone has happened instead. Damn it, Yuki! What have you done now? I mean, honestly, does he make it his personal hobby to find ways to make Shuichi upset?

Shuichi glanced incredulously at his friend. "Hiro, you already know the answer so why bother asking? Who else has the capability to piss me off like this?" Folding his arms across his chest, he wanted nothing more than to not discuss anything that had to deal with Yuki. It had been steadily building, but he was now at his wit's end with the novelist. A quiet chuckle had him eyeing his manager curiously. "What's so funny, K-san?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Shuichi. However, I think I may have found a solution to your problems. You've heard of the reality dating tv shows that are so popular, haven't you?" At Shuichi's nod, he continued. "Well, speaking as your manager, I think this would be a good idea for you. For one thing, you'll gain more popularity and two, this may give you the push you need in your relationship with Yuki-san."

Shuichi's eyes lit up at K's words. This was just what he needed to get Yuki to realize his feelings for him. "Alright, K-san, I'll do it!"

Hiro had been expecting Shuichi to balk at the notion of doing anything that would disrupt his relationship with Yuki. But then again, maybe he was right. Looking at the expression on Shuichi's face, he smiled. Maybe this would finally make the ass see that he was about to lose Shuichi.

K smiled broadly. This was working out to plan. Now it was time to bring in another key player in this game of his. "I'll be back as soon as I've run this by Tohma to see what he thinks." He suspected that NG's president wouldn't have any objections to his idea. Knocking on the office door, he waited to be told to enter.

Tohma looked up as Bad Luck's resident manager strolled into his office. "This is a pleasant surprise, K-san. What can I do for you?"

Easing into one of the chairs sitting directly facing Tohma, K thought about how to bring up his idea. "Our latest situation involves Shuichi, Tohma. I discussed with him a few minutes ago about a solution to his problem and he agreed to it. Now, I just wanted your approval on it."

Tohma was surprised, to say the least. K hardly ever asked for his approval on anything. The gung-ho American usually just plunged on ahead. This meant that his idea dealt with a sensitive subject and he had suspicions that it concerned Eiri in some way. Folding his fingers together, Tohma leaned forward on his desk watching K intently. "Does this idea of yours concern Eiri-san in any way?"

"Yes, Tohma, that's why I'm bringing it up with you. Shuichi stormed into work this morning and by the looks of it, Yuki-san is involved in some way."

Tohma sighed in irritation. "Let me guess, yet another fight between those two? I thought that they weren't having any problems that I was aware of. When will Eiri-san learn that Shindou-san won't take this kind of behavior forever? Mika and I are surprised that he's lasted as long as he has."

A chibi K was doing a happy dance at Tohma's words. At this rate, he'd have no problems with Tohma saying yes to his idea. "I'm so glad you agree with us, Tohma. This is where my idea fits in. I want Shuichi to appear on a reality dating tv show. These types of shows are really popular back in the States, so I can almost guarantee that Bad Luck's popularity will skyrocket because of it. Picture this: we could have ten men and ten women vying to capture our young vocalist as their own. What do you think?"

He had to admit that he was intrigued by the idea. Smirking suddenly, he almost laughed as he thought of three possible candidates for the show. This was definitely too rich to pass up. "I agree on two conditions, K-san. One, it has to be televised not only in Japan, but other countries as well. Second, I choose the contests that the participants will have to go through to win a date with Shindou-san."

"You seem to know a lot about how these shows work, Tohma. I can't picture you actually sitting down and watching them."

Tohma looked at K as though he'd grown another head. "It's not me who watches them. Unfortunately, Mika has taken an immense liking to them. Take my words to heart. You don't want to witness what happens when her favorite contestant at the moment is eliminated. I seriously thought about getting rid of the television after the last time it happened." Tohma shuddered in fear just thinking about it. Mika's temper was truly a sight to behold.

"Ah, I see what you mean. So while things are being set up, I'm going to have Shuichi stay at Hiro-kun's for a while. Once everything's settled, we'll send someone over to Yuki-san's apartment to gather Shuichi's belongings."

"That won't be necessary, K-san. I'll go over there myself and get Shindou-san's things. There are some matters that I need to discuss with Eiri-san while I'm there."

K smiled knowingly at Tohma. "I think I see where you're going with this. And if those three are going to be candidates, then we're going to have our hands full. I can't wait!"

Tohma smirked back, his mind already thinking up devious contests that he and the others would put the contestants through. "I thought you might like it. Anyway, K-san, go and tell the others that you have my approval for this. But don't tell them who I'm trying to recruit for this little show of yours."

K mock-saluted him as he walked out of the office door. Whistling a jaunty tune as he walked into the studio room, he noticed several pairs of eyes watching him as he entered. He gave them a quick thumbs-up and the entire room erupted into pandemonium. Although he found it amusing at first, he quickly grew annoyed with the noise level. Reaching into his holster, he withdrew his Magnum and fired off a couple of shots. This succeeded in getting their attention once again. "Now that I have your attention, first I want to say that Tohma has agreed wholeheartedly to our plan. Shuichi, until everything's finalized, you will be staying with Hiro-kun. Tohma has generously offered to gather your things from Yuki-san's apartment once we're ready to go."

Shuichi nodded as his stomach twisted, realizing what all of this meant. He didn't know how Yuki would react to all of this, or if he would even react at all. Did he really want strangers fighting over him or pawing at him? Was this what he had to go through to make Yuki finally realize his feelings for the singer? Or perhaps, what was making him feel so unsettled was the fear that he'd find someone he could love who wasn't Yuki. Still, he had made a decision and he was going to stick with it. It was time to show Yuki that there were others out there who would appreciate him for who he was.
