Shuichi awoke early the next morning to an empty bed. Yuki's spot was cool, showing that the man had left some time ago. He sighed, rolling out of bed, and walking towards Yuki's office, where the door was slightly ajar, and the only light within the room was the one coming from Yuki's laptop. Shuichi smiled at the sound of frequent typing.
'Well, he did say I was his muse.' Shuichi thought 'Maybe I inspired him afterall...'
Shuichi slowly pushed the door open, nearing Yuki and wrapping his arms around his shoulders, burring his head into them.
"What are you doing up so early?" Yuki asked "It's your day off. Sleep in."
"I'm restless..." Shuichi murmered
Yuki sighed, and rubbed his eyes.
"I think you're the one who needs sleep, Yuki."
"I do." Yuki murmered "But I really want to finish writing this."
He returned his hands to the keyboard. Shuichi released Yuki's shoulders, placing a little kiss on them, illiciting a small laugh. Shuichi started to head back towards the bedroom, but took a detour towards the kitchen, grabbing Yuki's favorite mug and his coffee.
"Now... how does he do this?"
Fifteen cups and two hours later, Shuichi carried the steaming mug into Yuki's office. Yuki had his face resting in his hands, his arm bent at the elbow, resting on his desk.
"Yuki... I made you some coffee."
Yuki lifted his head up, and smiled at Shuichi, extending his hand to take the offered cup.
"Thank you." he said, taking the cup and taking a sip. After a beat of silence, Yuki burst into laughter "Shu, this has to be the worst thing I've ever tasted in my life."
Shuichi frowned, and Yuki rolled his chair over to him, pulling Shuichi into his lap.
"Which I guess is a talent all on its own." Yuki murmered "Thank you." He repeated, wrapping his arms around Shuichi "Someday I'll have to teach you the right way."
Shuichi nodded.
"Yeah. How's the book coming?" He asked
"Better now." Yuki replied "The whole time we were fighting I couldn't think... it was driving me crazy."
"So thats why you caved?"
Yuki nodded.
"Yeah. You're my muse. I can't think when you're not happy." He said softly "When you... 'sing'... it clears my head."
Shuichi laughed and nestled his face closer to Yuki's chest.
"So... do you at least want to tell me what the story is about?"
Yuki shook his head.
"No." He replied "I want it to be a surprise."
"But what if I'm not around when the book--."
Yuki pressed his lips to Shuichi's in a quick kiss.
"Don't talk like that." He said quickly "And besides, you're mine forever. I won't let you go."
