Author's Notes: WOO!! Two chapters in ONE day! No… In three hours! XD
Aira-sama and I made a bet to see who could get a new chapter out the fastest. I GOT TWO, AIRA-SAMA! XD BWHAHAHAHAHA!
Disclaimer: As you can probably tell – I don't own Gravitation. I also don't own any of the songs in this self-acclaimed "musical". I'm using actual songs that I thought would fit nicely. Assume that they were written for this musical's purpose. I took a LARGE liberty with the words in one of the songs in this scene – and even if the song is originally sung by a girl, just imagine it an octave lower. ^_^; Don't sue…? Please? Song list at the end of each "scene."

The Gravitation Musical
ACT II
SCENE V
SET – EIRI's apartment – the house looks very bare without all of SHUICHI's stuff lying around like it used to be. EIRI is on the couch, sleeping – his laptop is open and he apparently dozed off while working
The doorbell rings. EIRI doesn't stir. It rings again. Still nothing. The person ringing the bell lays on it so that it screeches throughout the apartment and they knock heavily on the door.
EIRI
(is finally woken – groggily stretches and yawns – he looks around, trying to decipher where all the nose is coming from – he finally realizes that it's the door) Ugh, coming, coming! (gets up and crosses to the door – opens it – TATSUHA stands in the doorway)
TATSUHA
Morning, brother!! (walks into the apartment – quickly toes off his shoes)
EIRI
(annoyed and perplexed - closes the door) What the hell are you doing here?
TATSUHA
Oh, I was hanging around the neighborhood and decided to stop by. (turns to EIRI – puppy dog face) Can't a little brother do that?
EIRI
(disgusted) No. Not without a motive.
TATSUHA
(laughs) You got me. (looks around) I came here to meet the singer that Big Sis and Seguchi told me you're so fond of…
EIRI
Wait just a God damn minute!
TATSUHA
Oh, don't worry. They told me all about him. Big Sis says he moved in here a week ago. Seguchi seemed pretty annoyed, too. So – where's lover boy?
EIRI
Do NOT call him that. And besides (collapses on the couch) I kicked him out yesterday.
TATSUHA
(appalled) Whaaaaat?! But I thought you guys had a deal?!
EIRI
Christ, how much did they tell you?!
TATSUHA
They told me everything they know. (sits next to EIRI) Why did you kick him out? The deal isn't over. Besides, why would you want to? I thought you loved him?
EIRI
(chokes) L-love?! Who the hell said anything about love?!
TATSUHA
Big Sis. And Seguchi, actually… Rather bitterly, I might add.
EIRI
I am NOT in love with that… BRAT!
TATSUHA
You're acting awfully defensive for someone who's not in love but being accused of it.
EIRI
Shut up. Get out. How dare you rag on me about a subject you only just learned about this morning.
TATSUHA
(proudly) Last night, actually.
EIRI
Whatever. I don't have time for this. (gets up – checks his watch) Look, I've got six hours to finish these lyrics. (crosses to the door and opens it) So If you could please leave, little brother…
TATSUHA
Oh, come on! (stands as well) Don't be like this, bro! I only came here to help!
EIRI
You came here to pry into my personal life, which apparently isn't all that personal since my family seems to have conversations about me over dinner.
TATSUHA
We were at a bar, actually…
EIRI
OUT! Get OUT!
TATSUHA
Tsk, tsk, Big Bro. You really DO love him, don't you?
EIRI
Say that again and I castrate you.
TATSUHA
You're terribly bitter. People in love tend to be much nicer.
EIRI
I'm a minority. Get out.
TATSUHA
(triumphant) A-HA! So you admit it!
EIRI
(cornered) What?!
TATSUHA
I said people in love tend to be nice. And you said you're a minority. Which means you indirectly agreed with me that you love him!
EIRI
(exasperated – closes the door) You're not going to leave, are you…?
TATSUHA
(grinning broadly) Nope! Not until you admit it!!
EIRI
According to you, I already did.
TATSUHA
(the orchestra starts slowly) Bro!!
EIRI
(sighing)
If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that
(leans his back against the door)
No man is worth the aggravation
(a beat – glares at TATSUHA)
That's ancient history
Been there done that
(crosses to the kitchen while TATSUHA sings)
TATSUHA
Who'd you think you're kidding?
He's the earth and heaven to you
(following EIRI)
Trying to keep it hidden
Brother, I can see right through you
EIRI
Oh, noooo!
TATSUHA
Bro, you can't conceal it
I know how you're feeling
(nudges EIRI)
And who you're thinking of
EIRI
Ooooh!
(shaking his head)
No chance, no way
I won't say it
No, no
TATSUHA
(dreamily)
You swoon
You sigh
Why deny it?
Oh-oh
EIRI
(bitter)
It's too clich
I won't say I'm in love
TATSUHA
(playful)
Shoo-doop
Shoo-doop
Oo-oo-oooo
EIRI
(leaning against the fridge)
I thought my heart had learned it lesson
(smiling with a far away look)
It feels so good when you start out
(suddenly annoyed – hands in his hair)
My head is screaming
"Get a grip, boy!"
(throws his arms out in annoyance)
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out!
Ooooh!!
TATSUHA
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
(smirking)
Brother, I'm not buying
Boy, I saw you hit the ceiling
EIRI
(desperate)
Oh, no!!
TATSUHA
Face it like a grown-up
When you gonna own up that you
(resting his elbow on EIRI's shoulder)
Got, got, got it BAD?
EIRI
Woooah!
(brushing TATSUHA off)
No chance, no way!
I won't say it!
No, no
TATSUHA
(still prodding)
Give up, give in
Check the grin
You're in love
EIRI
(getting annoyed)
This scene won't play
I won't say I'm in love!
TATSUHA
You're doing flips!
Read my lips:
You're in love!
EIRI
(angry)
You're way off base!
I won't say it
(growls) Get off my case!
I won't say it!
TATSUHA
(tenderly)
Bro, don't be proud
It's OK,
You're in love
EIRI
(sighing)
Oooooh,
At least out loud…
(forlorn)
I won't say I'm in…
(hesitates)
Love…
TATSUHA
(abstractedly)
Shoo-doop
Shoo-doop
Shoo-doop
Shoo-doop
Sha la la la la la
Ahhh…
There is a pause on stage of EIRI looking out sadly into the audience and TATSUHA is looking to his brother in pride.
EIRI
(turns to TATSUHA to say something, but is unnerved at the way TATSUHA is staring at him) What?!
TATSUHA
Nothing, nothing.
EIRI
(losing the relaxed air and become annoyed again) Get out.
TATSUHA
(shrugs) OK. I suppose that's as close to a confession as I'll get from you.
EIRI
(pointing to the door) You can show yourself out.
TATSUHA
(still smiling – crosses to the door) Right. (opens it and puts back on his shoes) Say – here's some advice from your little brother: If you won't tell him, then at least let him move back in with you. (EIRI is staring out to the audience, surprised) You don't want to lose the best thing that could ever happen to you – do you? (TATSUHA doesn't wait for a response. He leaves and closes the door behind him – EIRI continues staring out)
Blackout.
