Hey guys!

THANKS for the reviews! On my last works, I barely had anyone comment let alone a couple. I do appreciate it.

Gravitation does not belong to me!


Chapter 3: Reactions

The following morning Shuichi awoke to Yuki's slow deep breathing as he lie next to the man. Yuki's arms encircling Shuichi's waist made it difficult for the singer to release himself. Struggling slightly, he gave in to waking the blond with chaste, small kisses up his neck.

Groaning, Yuki gazed down at his pink haired idiot then to the digital clock on Shuichi's side of the bed. He sighed as he knew he had to get up, the clock read nine thirty and his beloved was due at the studio in thirty minutes otherwise a weapon aficionado would be threatening at his doorstep. Yuki released the other man and left to the bathroom as he planed the days events.

Shuichi was late again. He didn't arrive until quarter after and even then felt like he did better than his previous tardiness. Yuki always had a way of making him late. Shuichi smiled as he thought back to the last time he was yelled at. Yuki had his way with him..ok maybe Shuichi did start it but by the time they were done Shuichi was almost two hours late to the video shoot. Yawning slightly, Shuichi walked into studio five where he would be singing the new song he wrote three days prior.

"About time you arrived" the keyboardist was the first to notice his arrival. Hiro glanced up and smiled, he had a personality similar to Yuki's except not as harsh. Hiro wasn't into saying a whole lot but he cared deeply for his best friend, he came to Shuichi's aid countless times and always knew what to say. Shuichi merely smiled, how else do you greet an unspoken hello?

The band had a lot to do that day, yes he had to record that day but he had a photo shoot for his next album approaching. There next CD was due to release with an exclusive track with both Shuichi and his idol in a duet. Shuichi was quite pleased he agreed after all Ryuichi was now in America starting off his acting career. Shuichi really did miss his mentor but he tried to hide it, it was there time. Bad Luck was to rule Japan's music charts!

"Hey Shuichi. What is on your hand?" Hiro questioned.

The voice shook him from his head and he looked down, momentarily unaware of what the guitarist was talking about. A smile dawned on his face as he remembered his engagement ring.

He had one interesting story to tell.

Some time later Shuichi finished his story and looked at his band mates. K looked at him and smiled "Bout time you two found commitment. I was beginning to think I would have to threaten him into it."

Suguru looked taken aback and seemed lost for words. He just went back to writing some music down on a score sheet, not sure of how to react to the surprising news.

"That's wonderful Shu!" Hiro's comment was the one that Shuichi valued. He was unsure of how he would of reacted. "But if he does anything to hurt you, let me know. I don't care what time of the day it is." He added thoughtfully. Shuichi hated to admit it but he relied on Hiro a lot. He was always there when Yuki kicked him out or whenever he was confused. Hiro was like a brother to him and it meant a lot to have his approval.

It wasn't long before word spread and soon enough, even the media had caught wind of the information. It wasn't long before Shuichi was called up to Tohma's office. Opening the door's he found a calm and collected man sitting behind his desk, a phone attached to his right ear.

"close the door." Tohma instructed and finished his conversation up with the third party.

"Do you know why I called you up here Shindou?" He said his sentence in monotone, his brow slightly angled obviously frustrated.

"Because Yuki proposed to me?" Why else would the president call for him? Right?

"So it is true then?" Shuichi showed his ring glistening on his left hand and smiled. Tohma continued to speak "The media is going to love this. Don't be surprised Shindou if they are overbearing, unfortunately I can do nothing to stop them either. The media has found it's way into any piece of news and like vultures, they will attack until nothing is left. " Shuichi wondered why Tohma had made such an analogy, yes the paparazzi loved trouble however he dealt with it before. He can do it again. Why was the sacho so concerned?

With a the wave of his hand, Shuichi was dismissed and shut the door behind him. What Shuichi didn't see however was how the news affected the president.

Slamming his hand onto the desk Tohma was furious. How could Yuki, his Yuki do such a foolish thing! No! Tohma picked his phone back up and dialed a number from his contacts as he relaxed into his chair and placed his feet on the edge of the desk.

"Hello?"

"Yeah, it's me again."

"I don't want to speak to you not after.."

"I have a better proposition for you." Tohma interjected to the voice on the other end.

"Not after last time, you screwed me over, you ran me over!"

"You messed up and I had to clean the mess, simple as that. Be thankful I didn't terminate you."

The other side went mute and waited for the other to continue.

"Look, remember the boy from last time? I have a plan but I'll need you help. You can get revenge if I can get what I want. Deal?"

"On one condition."

"That is?" Tohma was a bit agitated. After everything he did, he is still asking more?

"I can do what I want to the boy before ending him."

Tohma smiled "Deal."
