A/N: The alternate Chapter nine is now up! I am doing my best with this story and where it is going, but Shu and Ryu and everyone else will probably start becoming OOC. I think this is the shortest Author's note I've written so far! Onwards we march...

Disclaimer: I don't own Gravitation. I own the OCs and plotline of this fan fiction.

Chapter 11: The Agreement

Three days later, Tohma Seguchi went to Ryuichi and Shuichi's apartment. He thought now that the family had gotten to know each other a little better, that the two would accept his proposal. He knocked on the door, and waited. He heard crying and yelling, before the door was opened by an exhausted Shuichi.

"Hi Tohma," he said, then stood aside to let him in. Shuichi had guessed he came straight from the Studio, because he was wearing his normal elaborate clothing.

"Shindo," he nodded as he walked in, then let Shuichi lead him to Ryuichi. A day after the twins had been born, Mai had told Tohma the names they'd given them, Hikari and Takeru. When they arrived in the living room, it was Hikari who was crying. Ryuichi was holding Takeru, and giving him all his attention, it seemed Hikari was jealous of her brother.

When Shuichi approached the play pen, she looked up and held her arms out.

"Okay, if it'll stop you crying," Shuichi said, the three days of no sleep clearly showing. When she was in his arms, she fell silent, and kept looking over at Ryuichi, with a longing in her eyes. Tohma kept silent throughout, waiting for the moment he thought was right. It came when both babies were asleep, and in their cots (cribs, which ever). The adults were sitting at the Kitchen table. Shuichi had not forgotten Ryuichi's question, he just hadn't yet had the time to answer, what with the babies.

"We're not going to be able to keep you and the babies shut away forever," Tohma said to Shuichi, "and I'm sure you'll want to be able to share them with the world. So, I think i've come up with a solution that will," he thought about how to say it, "'Keep the peace.'"

The couple looked at each other, then turned their attention back to Tohma.

"Shuichi, seeing as you look quite feminine," he saw the look on Shuichi's face, and carried on as if he hadn't, "How would you feel about wearing women's clothes in public?"

"I like my Shuichi the way he is!" Ryuichi exclaimed. He looked at his lover to see his reaction. Shuichi was smiling amusedly, "I can see where you're coming from Tohma, but what will the press say? 'Sakuma baby scandal'?

Tohma chuckled a little, "Don't you worry about that, I have- certain methods to see its good for the band."

They got the message to not pursue it further. Shuichi looked like he was going to say no, so Tohma stood up and said, "Don't worry, you won't be the only one. Do these look like men's clothes?"

Tohma indicated himself, and Ryuichi and Shuichi's mouths hung open.

"You?" Ryuichi was surprised he'd not noticed this before, "Girl clothes?"

Tohma turned on the spot, "They fit a treat don't they?"

Shuichi and Ryuichi looked at each other, their faces going red from holding in their laughter.

"Well Shindo?" Tohma said, also indicating they weren't to speak of his secret again.

Shuichi looked out of the window, then at Ryuichi and Tohma, and thought about the babies. What Tohma said had merit, what would it be like for them? Would they be bullied at school because of what their 'mother' was? He looked at his hands, and said, "Alright, I'll do it."

Ryuichi just looked at him, "Shu," he looked up at the tone of voice Ryuichi made, "I'll phone Noriko! You can two go clothes shopping!"

A/N: Sorry if you're offended by the cross-dressing thing, but I had to think about the twin's future! Next time: Shuichi sat down on the bench. A few minutes later an old lady sat down beside him, she was familiar somehow.
