Chapter Two
------------------
The next day, Shuichi had to go to the recording studio to work on his album. He also decided to take his manuscript with him, just in case Yuki decided to get into the file cabinate while he was gone.
When they were done recording their songs, they were allowed to take a fifteen minute breather. Shuichi decided to take the time to get some proof reading done. Just as he was taking the file out of his back pack, Hiro came up behind him and patted him on the back. "Hey, Shuichi! You did great in there!"
Shuichi was starled and dropped the file on the floor, with the paper flying everywhere. At that same time, Tohma Seguchi came walking up to the scene. "Oh, Shuichi! Let me help you with that!" He bent down and began to help with the cleaning up. As he did this, he couldn't help but scan through a few lines on the pages. "My... This is a very good story, Shuichi!"
Shuichi snatched the pages back from him. "Thank you, but I'm sure it's not as good as Yuki's."
"On the contrary," Tohma said as he stood up. "I think that it looks like a very good story. Would you mind if I took it home and looked it over?"
"Well, it's not proof read yet. I'm sure there are errors in it."
"Well then, I'll be happy to be your proof reader."
Shuichi was about to decline the offer, but thought for a moment. If he had a proof reader to do the work for him, then he could focuse more on getting the album done. That, and he might even be able to go on that vacation with Yuki. He smiled. "Alright! But, there's one more thing. Yuki wants to take a vacation with me and --"
"-- Consider it done!" Tohma said. "Take as much time off as you like. You've been working hard enough."
"Thanks, Mr Seguchi!"
"You're more than welcome, Shuichi." Tohma took the file of cleaned up papers back with him to his office.
Hiro was left in complete bewilderment. "Uh, what was that all about?"
Shuichi laughed. "Oh, Mr. Seguichi's gonna look over a story I wrote."
Hiro gave him a strange look. "A story? You wrote a story?"
Shuichi nodded proudly. "Yes! I wrote it for Yuki! But don't you dare tell him!"
Hiro just shrugged. "Isn't Yuki the one who told you that you didn't have any tellent in the first place?"
"Yes. And this is my attempt at proving him wrong!" Shuichi proudly marched back into the recording booth.

"Yuki! I'm home!" Shuichi called out happily as he came through the door. He found Yuki in his office, working on his lap top. He smiled. "Guess what?"
Yuki just glared at him. "What?"
"I talked with Mr. Seguchi and he says he doesn't care if I take some time off." He smiled wider. "So, that means that we can go on that vacation after all."
Yuki blinked in surprise. "I thought you said you had too much work to do."
"Well, I did... But like I just told you, I talked with Mr. Seguchi."
Yuki smiled. "Alright. I'll call and make the flight plans later today."
Shuichi walked over and hugged him. He kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks, Yuki. I love you."
Yuki smiled. "Yeah, I know... You too, brat."
