There, yet another chappie! no. 10, an important number indeed! Anyway, I never expected Suguru to play such a major part in this fic at all! heck, I hated the guy at first! But now, I love him. Seriously. He is just too precious for words.
And thank you so much, all reviewers! I always feel really warm and fluffy inside when I get new reviews or re-read the ones I've already gotten. Now, then, onwards we go.
"Su-kun, you're making this way too lame."
"What do you mean, lame! It's the story of Romeo and Juliet!"
"Yeah well I don't know the details of the original, but this sure seems kind of boring. I, for one, wouldn't want to watch this."
Suguru sighed. "It's not meant to appeal to people like you."
Tatsuha scowled. "Waddaya mean, 'people like me'! What's wrong with me, huh!"
"You're a big pervert, that's wrong with you. But I didn't mean it negatively when I said people like you."
"Oh. Then it's okay. But I still think you should make this play more interesting. Add a love triangle here and there. Do some porn. Whatever; just make it more fun to watch at."
"I'm not like Seguchi you know, with his incest and stuff."
That had Tatsuha quiet for a moment. "I guess, but your kissing is a lot like his."
Suguru's eyes widened. "You kissed with Seguchi! Eww! Get away from me this instant!"
Crap, He wasn't supposed to tell anyone he'd had Seguchi. The guy was creepy if you got on his wrong side! "Ah…I was just kidding… Su-kun."
Suguru looked at him in disbelief. Damn, he wasn't falling for it. Guess not even he's that naïve.
Suguru sighed. "You have a sick taste of humor, Tatsuha-kun." Tatsuha cheered inwardly.
"Aww, don't be mean, Su-kun. Anyway, what, exactly is this story about?"
"You don't even know what Romeo and Juliet is about!"
Tatsuha laughed apologetically. Suguru sighed for the umpteenth time.
"It's about two families who have hated each other for years, and two of their children fall in love with each other, and at some point the girl takes poison to trick her family and the boy finds her and thinks she's dead, commits suicide, then the girl finds him dead and also commits suicide, and the families finally see how stupid they've been, but it's too late."
"Well that's kind of harsh."
"I didn't write it, Tatsuha-kun."
"But you did write this script! Why don't you make it have a happy end? I love happy endings!"
"I can't just go messing with the story! It wouldn't be Romeo and Juliet if it had a happy ending!"
"Why not? Seguchi did it."
"You comparing me to him?"
Tatshuha was a bit disturbed by the glare Suguru shot him. "Well… This is a match between you and him. Isn't a match all about comparing two people?"
That seemed to take Suguru by surprise. "…I suppose so."
"Well, then! Here, let me help you." With that, Tatsuha grabbed the half finished script and started 'editing'. Suguru could only watch in fear of what could come out of this.
"Ryu-chan? What are you and Shindo-san doing here? Shouldn't you be with Fujisaki-kun?" Despite the fact that the muscles in his face made it look like he was smiling, Shuichi could tell he wasn't. It was the eyes. Tohma's widely feared death glare™. He gulped nervously.
"Don't worry, Tohma-kun, we were just here to tell you we burnt a hole in the floor, right above your office, while we were trying to get juice stains from the carpet na no da!"
Everyone in the room sweatdropped.
"Ah, I see. I think the reparation team hasn't left yet; they were getting some coffee after patching up the bullet holes K made earlier. Go to the cafeteria and tell them to fix the floor."
"Okay no da!"
Ryuichi quickly set of again, and Shuichi was happy to leave as well.
"Ne, Ryu-chan, does Seguchi-san always just shrug and tell you to get someone to fix it, when you tell him about things like burning away a floor?"
"Naw, he usually gives Ryu-chan a lecture, but it's usually Kuma who did it so it's really unfair, but now Tohma-kun just wants us out of his way for his schemes na no da."
"His schemes? Seguchi-san schemes stuff?"
Ryuichi looked at him disbelievingly. "Shu-chan didn't know that no da?"
"No, I thought… I thought he just kind of did stuff and it always turned out right… somehow."
"… Thoma-kun probably planned for me to go after you, Shu-chan da."
"Really?"
Ryuichi nodded.
"Whoah! Then he's a lot more evil than I thought!"
silence fell as Ryuichi stared at Shuichi.
"Oh! I'm sorry, Seguchi-san's a friend of yours! I shouldn't call him evil!"
"It's okay, Shu-chan. Tohma is evil na no da. His goals are usually the same as mine, and he cares for me as well so he sometimes gets stuff done for me while he's at it, so Ryu-chan doesn't mind him being evil no da."
"So…You're in this just for yourself!"
"Well, Ryu-chan used to be… But now he also sees Tohma-kun as a friend da."
Shuichi seemed to think about that. Ryuichi slipped an arm around him in support.
"Ryu-chan isn't perfect, you know, even though he likes to think he is na no da. Ryu-chan is one of the most selfish people he knows, actually."
Shuichi seemed utterly lost now. "If you say so…"
"I do no da. Let's go check on Fu-chan da."
"Okay!" Shuichi was happy to have something to focus on again, and ran after Ryuichi, who'd dashed away leaving a smoke trail behind again.
A very uncomfortable Silence hung in the room.
"…So, Juliet is actually male and married to an evil witch, Romeo's parents are both madly in love with Juliets's father, but because they know they can't have him since he is already married to Juliet's mother, they hate the whole family.
Then, Romeo and Juliet fall in love together and the two families catch them making out in a dark back alley, and Romeo's parents finally see the light and realize it doesn't matter if you love either a male though you're a male yourself, or if you love someone who is already married.
Juliet's parents see the light too and realize what a bitch the girl they made their son marry is, and Juliet's mother sets off right away to slay the evil witch, leaving his father behind. Then Romeo's parents both jump him, and on finding out they both love the same guy, they set up a happy threesome. And Romeo gets married to Juliet. The play ends with everyone but Juliet's mother making out."
"That's the plot, basically, yes."
Suguru seemed about ready to kill Tatsuha, or maybe pass out, or do both even.
"Yes. That's the man plot. I'm afraid we need to begin practicing now, we don't have time to write a new script."
"Waddaya mean write a new script? I love this story! It's so cool!"
"Ryu-chan an' Kuma too no da!"
"Well, glad at least you two like it."
"C'mon, Fujisaki-kun, don't be such a sore puss! I bet if you concentrated on getting a younger audience, like teens or something, you could pull this off! Maybe you could contact a school, and say it's highly educational!"
"Tatsuha-kun completely screwed up the story! All you would learn is what Romeo and Juliet is not like!"
"Well at least you'd have fun."
Suguru sighed, and gave up. He couldn't do anything about it anyway.
"Fine."
"Oh, and Ryuichi-sama, Shu-chan, you'll have to make out on stage, but I figured you wouldn't mind too much, since Su-kun and me also have to."
Shuichi's eyes widened in shock. Make out on stage! Sure, he'd slept with Ryuichi, but to anything on stage! Yuki would know for sure! He couldn-
"We'll do it na no da! No problem da!"
"Okay, if that's settled, let's get started!"
Suguru and Shuichi quivered at the look in their respective crushes' eyes.
"Eiri-san! How could you! To your own brother in law, even!"
"There's more, even."
Eiri smirked. Tohma was shocked.
"Eiri-san! Who talked you into this!"
"Wouldn't you like to know!"
Mika and Noriko had come to ask what had happened, and nearly all people who'd witnessed the kiss had been eavesdropping. He'd just told them he didn't want to make Eiri uncomfortable, since it was only the first try. Neither of them had believed him (of course) and K had made a remark about Tohma being a hypocrite. Most others had bought the lie though.
But it seemed he wasn't going to get the answer out of Eiri-san. Oh well, he'd just have to ask Tatsuha. And if the kid didn't know, he could always bribe him with sex to get him to pull the answer out of his big brother.
"You're mean, Eiri-san!"
Eiri huffed. "You hadn't noticed yet?"
Tohma sighed, and told everyone they could go home, rehearsal was finished. Then, he set of to find Tatsuha.
Tatsuha was having a great time. He had Suguru, who was too distracted by Shuichi and Ryuichi making out to notice he'd slid his hands under his shirt and was working on his pants. And, even better, he had two sexy singers making out right in front of him.
Oh, was that a moan Su-kun gave just now?
Tatsuha snickered and slipped his hand into Suguru's pants. Oh yeah, was he ever enjoying himself. That script had been his best plan ever.
Little did Tatsuha know his luck was about to turn soon.
Don't worry, it's not going to get angsty or anything (me no like angst) Now, hit that button, and win the prize: my eternal love!
