TUESDAY

Aaron's POV

He was not too angry about hotel incident. It seems, he is really confused about everything and is not sure what to think. He didn't tell me that, but I think he still has some feelings for that man. It is hard to forget love like that, especially if his ex is stalking Shuichi.

Yesterday Shuichi told me about Yuki Eiri. At first we spoke during his brae and there was more he didn't say, than he did. But later I forced him tell me more. He says I am annoying, but when I threaten him that I will leave him, he snaps. It is good that he hasn't figured out that I can't leave.

Then he told me about their relationship, and how much he loved his insufferable boyfriend and he told me that he finally left the novelist, because of unsolvable contradictions. Unsolvable contradictions? I can read between lines. That guy is a jerk. Shuichi was not very specific about details, but I understood that his boyfriend treated him as door mat. How could anyone do something like that to Shuichi?

Yuki Eiri even tried to contact me. I refused to talk to him. I have nothing to do with him. Even Seguchi Tohma tried to talk to call me and arrange a meeting. I know that he is close to that scum, so I don't even talk to him. What they could say to me? I am looking after Shuichi. He stays in my hotel room and I am driving him from work to work. So – no unwanted meetings are possible.

That bastard Yuki Eiri sent Shuichi flowers! White orchids. There was a card too. He is asking Shuichi to meet him. Of course Shu doesn't know. I threw them out.

This is exactly the problem and I am going to take care about it. I will keep Yuki Eiri as far from Shuichi as possible. I don't like that man. He is not good enough for my little brother…well not brother, but almost brother. I know, maybe Shuichi wouldn't like what I am doing, but that is for his own good.

Well… This is a surprise, but a good one. Perfect for my plans.

"Shuichi!"

I walk in his dressing room where he is having break.

"Not hungry! You already forced me to eat today…"

"No, no! No feeding by force! I have something for you!"

"No shit!"

He answers sarcastically. I roll my eyes. Shuichi is back. That really calms me down. This is my little Ice – nasty and edgy. No crying. Oh…I don't want to think about that. Everyone has their ups and downs. I am glad it is over.

"See! Someone has sent you flowers. And I suspect it's someone you know. Stop making faces! I will read you the card. 'How are you, Baby? It has been a while. I haven't forgotten you. Maybe we could meet for a dinner?' Signed – Solo. And there is a business card. This man's full name is Matsuo Kanaye."

"I know Solo."

"Do you know who is Matsuo Kanaye?"

"No idea."

"Shuichi, you are from Tokyo and you don't know that the man is from Matsuo family, they own one of the biggest telecommunication companies in Japan."

Shuichi snorts.

"So, how do you know him?"

"Well, we…I have met him, he is a good person."

I decide not to push him. He has shown his tender side in last days, but I don't think it is reasonable to provoke Shuichi. I know if I will ask too many questions he will get angry and I will not be able to do the trick.

"So when are you going?"

"Where?"

"Out. When are you going to have your dat…dinner?"

"I am not going."

"Of course you are!"

"Hell, no!"

"Why? Don't you like him? Is he ugly or boring? There are a lot of reasons why you should accept this… Please, Shuichi, do it for me. I never ask you anything! Just this one time. You know – it is just a dinner. It is not like he is going to have his way with you." Mhm…Shuichi almost chokes with water he was drinking. Is there something I don't know? " You don't have to do anything you don't want to, just eat your food and talk…"

"Stop! Stop! I got your point! Maybe you are right…You know…"

"Ok! I will call his secretary. Today is Tuesday… so tomorrow…"

"So soon!"

"I will not give you time to change your mind!"

Shuichi's POV

Solo…So, Solo knows who I am… Did he know that night? Maybe… But is it important? I do not think he spent a night with me just because I was famous. He was good to me. I still feel like I owe him something. Even if it is just dinner.

I don't know… I can't give him anything. I love Yuki. No I don't! Yws, I do… But I need to forget Yuki!

Maybe this is a good idea. I don't want to use someone to keep Yuki away from me, but as Aaron said, it is going to be just a dinner.

Maybe we can just hang out as friends?

I take a look at the note. Oh…but this doesn't look like 'friendly' invitation. But I feel like I owe Solo, because I used him and he was really nice.

Aaron's POV

I feel guilty for what I am about to do. But it is for greater good. But it is not like it will hurt Shuichi. We can always tell that it was a business meeting…

I pick up the phone.

"Hello! I have information about Shuichi Shindou. Are you interested?"

This is a war Yuki Eiri. And I am not going to play nice.

It is time to make my point.

TBC

A/N: To those who can't wait when Yuki and Shuichi is together again: I am sorry, but you will have to wait a little bit...nothing is easy...I am going to tease you...evil grin But teasing is not that bad and...well, stay tuned! And you will get what you want.

And thank you very much for support.
