Mizu: Yay! I'm so happy today! So many updates for so many stories! Also, I'd like to wish very happy congratulations to the New Yorkers! Congratulations on the victory in earning the right to gay marriage! Woot! Disclaimer: I don't own Gravitation. If I did, Tohma wouldn't be so crazy.
BTW, sorry for the short chapter.
Give It A Try- Chp. 2: Congratulations!
Four Months Later...
"Still nothing about surgery?" K teased the pinkette when he walked into the NG building.
"Shut up," Shuichi growled, wincing as he walked, "Yuki's probably locked it away in his mind to never think of again or something…"
"How can he not when a couple of days every month you bleed?" K laughed a little.
"It's not every month," Shuichi stated.
"Huh?" K blinked.
"The doctor said it wouldn't be unusual to miss a couple of cycles every year," Shuichi explained, stretching a bit as he and his manager walked into the elevator, "I've missed two already."
"Wow," K blinked again, gathering his thoughts.
"But the strange thing was that I haven't gotten it again this month," Shuichi said, more to himself.
"Really?" K questioned, "But that shouldn't be unusual, right?"
"I don't think so but this is the third month in a row," Shuichi whispered as they walked out onto their floor.
"In a row?" K gaped, "Have you talked to your doctor?"
"Yeah. He said that it was still perfectly normal and to be expected," Shuichi sighed, stopping in front of the recording room, "I really don't want to do this gig tonight."
"Too bad," K smirked, pushing the rock star inside.
"But K!" Shuichi whined.
"Hey Shu," Hiro greeted the pinkette.
"Hey, on time again!" Fujisaki cheered from behind his synthesizer.
"Yuki locked himself in his study again right after breakfast and told me to get to work," Shuichi whimpered, walking up to the microphone, "I really hope he does forget about all of this…"
"About all of what?" Hiro blinked.
"Oh, I just tried to convince him to go to Kyoto for a weekend so we could visit his family but he didn't take it too well," Shuichi explained.
"That's not that surprising," Hiro chuckled.
"Ah, shut up," Shuichi pouted.
"What a surprise this is," Tohma said when a familiar head of blonde walked into his office, "Normally, it's me who's the one walking in uninvited, Eiri."
"I need to talk with you," Eiri said, not looking at his brother-in-law.
"Talk about what?" Tohma asked, walking over to his desk and sitting down.
"I want you to give Shuichi two weeks off," Eiri said, sitting in front of Tohma.
"…Excuse me?" Tohma blinked.
"I want Shuichi to have the next two weeks off from work," Eiri said again, locking eyes with the other blonde.
"…" Tohma opened his mouth a few times trying to make some sense of this, "…Why?"
"I want to take him to New York," Eiri said, not noticing the way Tohma's jaw dropped.
"…Again," Tohma paused, staring with strange curiosity to the other blonde, "Why?"
"I want to marry the brat," Eiri said, not really putting much thought into his emotions behind his words.
"…What!" Tohma shouted, jumping up from his seat, "What brought this on!"
"Something that happened to the brat a couple of months back," Eiri shrugged, eyes shifting down to the ground.
Tohma sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose, "What on earth could have happened that would make this sudden proposal of marrying the boy in the extremely near future so important?"
"…Shuichi went to the doctor," Eiri stated, eyes locked on the carpet.
"That's it?" Tohma questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"And we found out a few…peculiar things," Eiri said, picking his words out carefully.
"What kind of peculiar things?" Tohma asked.
"Like," Eiri took a deep breath as he ran his hand through his golden hair, "the brat being able to carry children."
Silence then…
"…would you please repeat that, Eiri?" Tohma asked softly.
"Shuichi has an extra part that would allow him to carry a child," Eiri explained, "That's what brought that marriage idea up."
Tohma fell back into his seat, struck silent for the moment.
"For the record, I've been thinking about asking him to be solely mine for a while," Eiri said, finally lifting his head up to look at the other blonde, "This just put the final nail in the coffin."
"How so?" Tohma asked, curiosity peaked again.
"Shuichi doesn't want to have any kids until he's married. It's his personal belief," Eiri explained, "but he desperately wants to have a family of his own."
"So you're going to give it to him?" Tohma asked, not sure if he was correct in his assumption or not.
"Yes," Eiri said nearly immediately, "The brat has always given up everything he's had just to make me happy. He has gone out of his way and comfort on many occasions just to bring a smile to me. No matter what, no matter how badly I treated him, the brat was always there, standing with open arms and a wide smile."
Eiri's eyes softened a little, "I just want to show him that I would do the same for him, Tohma. That he's not living in a world that he's the only one giving anything."
"What do you mean?" Tohma questioned.
"I think he's honestly beginning to think that that's all our relationship will ever be. Him giving up everything just to sit beside me while I work," Eiri said, burying his face in his hands, "But it's not true. I do completely care for him and can't see myself with anyone else. It's just that-"
"It's just that you're still insecure about your emotions?" Tohma finished, smiling warmly at his brother-in-law, "Don't worry about that. Whatever you've seen about him thinking that he's just giving must have just been for a second. Cause he knows how you feel and revels in it."
"How?" Eiri whimpered a little, "How can he tell? I've never been kind to him and I never tell him the things that he longs for. So how in hell does he just know?"
Tohma just shrugged, "Don't know."
"Some help you are," Eiri growled.
"Sorry, Eiri," Tohma chuckled, standing up, "I'll see what I can do about getting him some time off. You just had to ask at the beginning of Bad Luck's new album."
"Sorry about that," Yuki scoffed.
"Sancho!" Sakano shouted, racing through the door.
"Sakano-san," Tohma blinked, "What's wrong?"
"It's Shindou-kun!" Sakano exclaimed, arms flailing around.
"What's wrong?" Tohma questioned, noticing how Eiri flinched.
"He's been throwing up for the past twenty minutes!" Sakano cried.
"Where is he?" Eiri snapped.
"S-Sixth floor, men's bathroom," Sakano whimpered, "K-san and Hiro-kun carried him there with Fujisaki-kun holding a trash can in front of his mouth down the hallway when I met up with them."
Eiri was out the door and down the stairs faster than Shuichi on a sugar high chasing after Ryuichi.
"Great…" Tohma sighed.
"Shuichi!" Eiri shouted, barreling into the men's bathroom.
"Yuki-san!" Hiro and Suguru gasped.
"Where's Shuichi?" Eiri demanded, stocking up to the two men.
"In there," Hiro said, pointing to the handicap stall.
Eiri nodded and slowly pushed open the door. There was his brat, leaning against the toilet with his hair sticking to his face. He was sweating pretty badly. His normal slightly tanned complexion was long gone, replaced with a sickly pale skin color. The pink haired boy was breathing heavily. He kept his amethyst eyes shut as Eiri drew closer.
"Shuichi?" Eiri questioned, kneeling beside him.
Shuichi's eyes fluttered open at the sound of his love's voice, "Y-Yuki?"
Yuki gently rubbed the tired rock star's cheek with his finger, "I'm right here."
"I'm sorry," Shuichi whimpered, head rolling back to rest on the toilet bowl.
"For what?" Eiri asked.
"Making you worry," Shuichi whispered, eyes furrowing together.
"Baka," Eiri scoffed.
Before Shuichi could reply, another wave of nausea hit the poor male. As he emptied whatever was left in his stomach, Eiri found himself rubbing gentle, soothing circles on his back. He felt so useless. Here his brat puking his guts out and all he could do was rub his back. What kind of man was he? Wasn't this the boy that he wanted to whisk off to some foreign country to have his hand in marriage? Why couldn't he do anything more?
"I think," Shuichi groaned once he could open his mouth without being sick, "I need to go to the doctor."
"The doctor?" Eiri questioned.
"Yeah," Shuichi weakly nodded, "This has been happening for the last month and a half whenever I eat a lot of the stuff I like."
"What!" Eiri gasped, "Why haven't you told me?"
"I thought it was just a bad case of the flu," Shuichi whimpered, "But it won't go away. I'm starting to get scared. What if it's something serious?"
"…Do you want to go today?" Eiri questioned.
"If possible," Shuichi nodded before groaning, "But I have a performance tonight."
"Too bad," Eiri stated, picking up his brat bridal style, "You're going to have to reschedule it."
"I can't," Shuichi whined as Yuki carried him out of the bathroom.
"You will. You're going to the doctor then you're going to go straight to bed," Eiri said, "And they'll have to go through me before you get on that stage tonight."
For the second time that year, Yuki and Shuichi found themselves sitting inside of Shuichi's family doctor's office. The pinkette, who's nausea spells had ceased for now, sat fidgeting while Yuki glared at everything and anything that moved. That included Dr. Arata walked up to the famous couple. The doctor held a very confused and nervous look on in their eyes. That could never be good, right.
"Good news and bad news, Shindou-kun," Dr. Arata nervously stated.
"What's the good news?" Shuichi whimpered, clinging tightly to Eiri.
"What you're going through isn't life threatening," Dr. Arata said.
"So what's the bad news?" Eiri questioned as Shuichi let out a sigh of relief.
"…You'll have to go through this and many other discomforts for the next six to seven months," Dr. Arata said, backing away.
"Huh?" the two gaped.
"Congratulations, Shindou-kun!" Dr. Arata exclaimed before sprinting behind the counter, "You're pregnant!"
Mizu: Again, sorry for the short chapter. I just really wanted to upload this cause from now on, I want to write this story according to the months of Shuichi's pregnancy. Also, please do not ask how it is that Shuichi got pregnant. It's a miracle on his part, okay? Also, I'm still trying to work that all out.
Shuichi and Yuki: *stares blankly out into space*
Mizu: Yeah…Those two are still in shock right now…Any who~! Remember, I extremely appreciate all reviews. Ciao for now!
