(A/N): Heya! I am so bored, just thought that I would let you know that. Well, we are on the day two. :D :D :D Can Shu get Yuki in 10 days? Hmm...I can't tell you that, now can I? You just have to read and find out. :D :D
Second Date
Shindou sat in a booth near the front of the bar, directly in front of the stage, so he would be noticiable when Yuki arrived. He laughed inwardly to himself, recalling the last conversation he had with his friends Nakano, K, and Sakano. They all seemed utterly suprised that it was Shindou that asked Yuki on the first date, and then Yuki asked Shindou for a second date. Shindou was suprised himself. He didn't think he was that appealing (even though his fans obviously thought that he was the greatest thing that walked the earth).
He sat twiddling his thumbs and humming Bad Luck tunes to himself, watching the entrance for Yuki to arrive. Several waitresses had stopped by to say hello to him, seeing as he was a regular at the bar, performing on many occasions for him. He waited patiently for Yuki to arrive.
Seven o'clock on the dot Yuki arrived, seeing Shindou immediatly. He smirked and approached him, Shindou tried to steady his racing heart. The blonde looked so enticing, his loose hanging t-shirt and faded blue jeans. Shindou just grabbed something out of his closet, suprised that it actually turned out rather decent: a navy blue tank and bondage pants.
"Fashionably early?" Yuki asked him, taking a seat directly across from Shindou, facing the stage.
"Yep. Seems like you are fashionably on time."
"Seems so."
"Hello, Shindou-kun, how are you tonight?"
Shindou and Yuki looked up to see a pretty waitress with long black hair smiling down at them.
"Oh, Ayaka-san, I am just fine. This is Yuki, Yuki this is Ayaka."
"Nice to meet you, Yuki-san."
Yuki nodded in return, then turned to Shindou.
"You seem to know people here well."
"He's a regular." Ayaka answered for Shindou. "He comes and performs a lot for us."
"Is that so?"
Shindou blushed at the smirk that formed on Yuki's face. He could tell behind those amber eyes of his that there was a devious plan being formed.
"Why don't you perform tonight, Shuichi?"
Shindou's eyes grew wide. Normally he would jump on the chance, but there was something about being in Yuki's presence that sent butterflies in his belly and made him very nervous.
"Sounds wonderful!" Ayaka said happily, clapping her hands in front of her. "Why don't you go on up, since you already know how to handle everything up there, and I will get your drinks together?"
"O-okay... I'll have a saccarin."
"Come on, you are a lead singer, why are you so nervous? Oh, and I want a scotch on the rocks." Yuki asked teasingly.
"I'm not nervous!" Shindou said defensively.
"Then go."
"Fine, I will!"
Shindou stood and marched over to the stage, placing himself behind the microphone. He stared Yuki directly in the eyes with every word he said.
"Hello, guys, Shindou Shuichi is back!"
The crowd inside the bar cheered. Yuki saw that Shindou was indeed popular.
"I am going to do an acapella tonight."
More cheers.
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And, I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even
the wrong words seem to rhyme I'm quiet you
know Even the best fall down sometimes Don't stop here Even the best fall down
sometimes You
finally find
Out of the doubt that fills my
mind
I somehow find
You and I collide
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind
Even
the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I
somehow find
You and I collide
I lost my
place
I'm close behind
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt
that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I
collide
Shindou grinned at the impressed look on Yuki's face, though he couldn't really read his expression. He wished that he could tell what was going on in the novelist's mind, because it was all too frustrating trying to figure the man out. He sat back at his seat and began to sip on his drink, watching Yuki study him out the corner of his eye. He wanted to say something, but found that his mouth wouldn't work properly. Nothing that he wanted to say seemed to be good enough. He didn't speak until the waitress Ayaka got back to take their orders for food. It was then that Yuki decided to strike up a conversation.
"How his your album selling coming along?"
"Oh, great. We are selling like mad. Seguchi-san is quite pleased."
"Yeah, he is. He says that besides Nittle Grasper, Bad Luck is the best band he has heard."
"Of course, Grasper is awesome to him, he's in it! But, yes, they are awesome."
"Eh, I can live without 'em."
"Wha--! Live without Grasper! No way!"
"That Sakuma guy just creeps me out."
"Ryuichi-sama is a GOD!"
Yuki looked warily at Shindou and the admiration that shown in his eyes for Sakuma.
"You 'friends' with him or something?"
"He's my rival."
"Rival?"
"Band rival. We are two different bands that have to attract people. We have our priorities. He knows that as well as I do."
"So, you don't have an 'interest' in him?"
"Not like that, no."
Yuki nodded and stared off into space, falling back into his own thoughts. Shindou began to get edgy again, wanting to know what was on the blonde's mind.
The time was nearing ten o'clock, the two engaging in long conversation and drinking numerous cups of coffee and gin, neither drunk, but hyper and buzzed.
"I want to see you again." Yuki said, even though buzzed and slightly hyper, he was still able to function rather well.
"You do?"
"Yeah. Let's go catch a movie tommorrow. Then, you can come by my place for dinner."
Shindou smiled at Yuki, accepting the invitation. Yet again, Yuki had asked Shindou out. He had quite another story to tell his friends. The things that he and Yuki had talked about, he decided to keep between them.
(A/N): Gomen guys that it took me so long to update! You won't believe how difficult this actually is to write, and I am afraid that it is turning out really, really bad. Please don't hate me! I will do my best! Please Review!
