Shu jumped feeling Eiri's arms around him.

"Why so jumpy brat?"

"I just wasn't expecting you and your hands are cold."

"Mmm…So what do you think? All of this is ours and no building directly overlooks us so no paparazzi to deal with. The nearest tall building is NG."

"I can't believe you did all of this."

"I told you this is our place. I'm making an appointment with my lawyer for tomorrow for you to sign the papers."

"Huh, what papers? And your lawyer works on a Sunday?"

"If I pay him enough he'll work on a holiday." Eiri then turned the boy around and cupped his face, "I keep telling you this is our place. That is why I wanted your stuff here. The papers are to officially put your name on the dead. Tohma made a veil threat of thinking of preventing this, but if we go and sign the papers in the morning my lawyer can fax them over and they will be filed first thing in the morning before Tohma can do anything. With it being Saturday it'd be hard for him to find a judge willing to listen and do anything till Monday."

"Eiri are you sure about this? I mean I can't afford to get on Seguchi's bad side."

Eiri sighed and kissed him before pulling the boy to him in a hug, shocking the hell out of him. "You let me worry about Tohma. If he says anything at all to you at work let me know so I can deal with it."

Shu cuddled closer one hand gripping Eiri's shirt, "Are you sure? I mean…"

"I'm sure now stop worrying and get in that pool before Tatsuha sucks up all the water."

"I heard that!"

Shu giggled and pulled Eiri towards the water, "Come in with us."

Eiri pulled him closer and whispered, "Maybe later when Tatsuha's gone we'll play a few pool games." At that Shu blushed before being taken by surprise as Eiri pushed him in the water.

Shu came up and shook his head and glared at Eiri, "What did you do that for?"

"I told you it was time for you to get in. Now you children have fun. I'm going back to the old apartment for some of the stuff in the freezer and refrigerator. Place nice."

With that Eiri walked over to a shed and pulled out an inflated beach ball and threw it at them before closing the shed door and leaving. In his wake a stunned Shuichi and Tatsuha could only watch him leave.

"Did, did he just call us children and tell us to have fun? Was that a hint of a smile I saw with it?" Tatsuha asked. "What the hell is he on? Plus I have never seen him so…so nice! Even to you."

Shu sighed, even at risk of Tohma and Mika finding out Shu said, "Yeah I know. He's been like this he woke up from his coma. I know the doctors said his brain wave activity was a bit off but this is getting to be too much. I mean I can't say that I don't like or approve of this new Eiri, but its freaky sometimes. I keep waiting for him to go back to being the way he was mean and tell me to go back to calling him Yuki."

"Yeah, I meant to ask. Did he ask you to start calling him by his first name?"

Shu nodded, "I mean we were in bed when he suddenly out of the blue asked me to start calling him by his first name. It was one of the strangest things. It wasn't an order or anything like you'd expect, it was just a causal try to start getting use to doing it type talk."

"Have you tried taking him back to the doctor?"

"NO! Are you kidding! He'd skin me alive and yell at me to mind my own business that he's fine, there's nothing wrong with him."

"Mmm…yeah I guess your right. Then we get Tohma or Mika to do it."

Shu rolled his eyes and splashed water at Tatsuha. "Yeah, that will go over real well. You won't have to live with him after that and I do! He'll be grouchy moody and majorly pissed off for weeks if they drag him to a doctor over this."

Tatsuha splashed back and said, "Yeah, well what if there's something seriously wrong with him?"

"I know that, but there's no way we'll convince him to do it and Seguchi and Mika will drag him there kicking and screaming and be lucky to get anything done then."

Tatsuha had to admit that Shu was right, Shu didn't much like the look in Tatsuha's eyes. He had a sinking feeling he'd come up with a sneaky plan.

"Mika, not that I mind giving you a ride home but where is your car?"

"I was talked into giving it to Tatsuha to get more of their stuff, happy."

Tohma sighed, "Are you still upset over my buying Eiri's building?"

"You're damn right I am! I can't believe you went and bought that place."

"I'll tell you as I told Eiri. It's for his own good."

"Good, since you're in such a generous buying mood, I'd like to discuss the house on Arez Avenue. The three story 10 bedroom house."

"I told you already Mika, no we can't afford it. Not to mention we don't really need that much space."

"Oh but we can afford to buy into this condo building that Eiri's living in? How about then since you're so damn attached to my brother that you bought out his building, why don't we sell out current home, you buy out the rest of the building from its owner, we refund all current tenants and kick their asses to the curb and the then Tatsuha can have his own floor or floors and we would own several floors. Hell why do we even need NG? Just sell that building and turn the unused floors into music studios."

"Now Mika, you know that's not plausible. That wouldn't be fair to the tenants and there's no way we could convert the place into music studios."

"Oh, but there's plenty of money to throw around and buy into buildings just because you would rather Eiri chose you to live with him rather than Shindo."

Tohma frowned, "Where would you get an idea like that Mika?"

"You don't have to play dumb with me. You may be a lot of things but you're not good at hiding the truth from me."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I do care for Eiri a great deal and I think he's making a mistake with Shindo."

"Buying his building is not going to change anything." Mika sighed, "I really wish Eiri hadn't brought up the subject of children."

"Why? I thought we agreed to wait till we were both ready?"

"I didn't agree to anything, you decided for us. Do you know how embarrassing it is to face my father with the news that Eiri is still with Shindo and that no I'm not pregnant yet. I don't want to tell him that I probably never will be."

"If you feel that strongly about it Mika then why don't we start trying?"

"Yeah, and how often would you stay home with me and help compared to the time you'll spend trying to rule Eiri's life!"

"I want what is best for everyone. I think a child would be good for you Mika."

"Yeah, so who am I suppose to get to be the father?"

"Not funny, Mika."

"I wasn't trying to be." She said as Tohma stopped in front of their house. Before he could respond she got out and heading inside, leaving Tohma to just sighed and parked the car to try to resolve this.
