Yuki was working on his newest novel, when he heard the front door click. He sighed and saved his work. Now that the brat was back, he might as well go and welcome him. But when he opened the door, he was met with forest green eyes of his brother in law instead of the purple ones of his lover.

"Seguchi," Yuki said.

"Eiri, nice to see you," Tohma smiled.

Yuki frowned, "You let yourself in again. What do you want?"

"No need to get grouchy, I bear gifts," Tohma showed Yuki cake box.

Now that was something Yuki couldn't refuse. With him being so nice and all. Especially if it that was strawberry shortcake. So he took the cake and went for some plates and knife.

Meanwhile Tohma smirked and sat on the couch in the living room.

Yuki came in with the plates and sliced the cake. Once he had a slice on his plate, he looked at Tohma, "Now talk. Why are you here?"

"Can't I visit you to see how you are doing?" Tohma tilted his head.

"I am fine, now leave," Yuki growled and took a bite from his cake.

"Now now, Eiri, don't be mean, I only mean well," Tohma laughed heartily, "How are you and Shindou-san doing?"

"That's none of your business, Seguchi," Yuki snapped at him, but his ears burned bright red.

"I'm glad, that he makes you happy," Tohma smiled, "But please, call me nii-san…"

"Like hell I will, I am not Natsuki after all!" as soon as Yuki let those words slip from his lips, he regretted them.

Tohma paled and his eyes got so wide, that they resembled circles.

"I… I am so-" Yuki started, but Tohma stood up, interrupting him.

"Don't," Tohma whispered, "I… I will go now. I overstayed my welcome."

"Tohma," Yuki whispered.

He wanted to reach for the platinum blonde, but he was interrupted again. This time by slamming the door and loud: "Yukiiiiiiiiiiii, tadaima!" Shuichi was home.

A second after that the singer burst into the living room, but as soon as he saw the two blondes in there, he froze.

"Uhm, hi Seguchi-san," he said nervously. For a few seconds nobody moved, then Shuichi looked at the table, "Would you like some tea? Yuki probably didn't offer you any…"

Tohma forced smile onto his face, "No thank you, Shindou-san, I was already leaving." And with that he quickly left the apartment.

Shuichi blinked, "What just happened? Seguchi-san looked very upset…"

"I said something I shouldn't have," Yuki said distractedly.

Shuichi frowned, "What did you say?"

Hearing that, Yuki snapped out of his stupor, "That's none of your business!"

Then he stood up and went to his study, slamming the door behind him.

Shuichi flinched at the loud sound. "Yuki… what happened?" he whispered sadly. He slowly started to clean up the cake and plates. He knew that if he tried to pry things out of Yuki, he would be probably thrown out of the apartment. So he decided to leave it be. At least for now.

The next day Shuichi ran into the studio, "I am sorry I am late!"

Everyone was already there. But they seemed to be calm. Not even Suguru complained. He was already used to Shuichi lateness, and right now the pinkette wasn't even that late, just a few minutes.

"Is okay, Shu," Hiro said, "We just got here too."

After that they got to work. Which consisted of last minute preparations for upcoming tour. In two days they would go on a two week tour in the America. This made Shuichi very nervous. He never was to the America, if one doesn't count the quick trip to the New York to retrieve Yuki, but Hiro ensured him, that it will be fine.

Suddenly the door slammed open and a green blur ran past them and tackled Shuichi.

"Shuuuuuu-chaaaaaaaaan," the blur, which was revealed to be Ryuichi, squealed.

"Saku- I mean, Ryuichi," Shuichi gasped as he lost balance and the two fell down, "What are you doing here?"

Ryuichi sat up. "I was with Tohma, but he was upset and sent me away," he said with a whine.

Hearing that, Shuichi unintentionally let it slip, "Still?"

"What do you mean by that?" Ryuichi asked confused.

Shuichi scratched his cheek with one finger, "Err… Yesterday Sechuchi-san was at Yuki's house… and he was quite upset. After he left, Yuki said, that he said something he shouldn't have… but didn't tell me what."

"There is only one thing that can upset Tohma this much," Ryuichi muttered and looked at Suguru, who looked straight back at him. Their eyes locked for a second, before they looked away. "But please, don't pry," Ryuichi whispered.

Suguru walked to the door, "I think, I should go to see him…" And with that, he left.

After Suguru left, there was no point in practicing further. So K let them go, and Ryuichi dragged Shuichi for lunch.
