Title: Room Service
"Hiro... You know the other day you asked why I was so late and I told you I was sent to deliver some room service...?"
His friend nodded while continuing to empty the clean glasses from the dishwasher, ready for the evening shift.
"Well... It was his room."
"Who?"
"The bloke that was here the other day, the one I told you about."
"Oh, the arrogant guy... the one you've talked about non-stop since then... how could I forget?"
"I think he tried to come on to me."
Hiro froze in his steps and placed his full attention towards his friend.
"Really? Well, what happened?"
Pausing slightly, Shuichi considered whether on not he should carry on, but it had been wearing away at him for days now and he had to tell someone.
"He started kissing my neck, and I don't know why, it came out of nowhere. But... since then... I can't explain how nice it felt..."
"Was that the only reason? Maybe you just liked the feeling. That doesn't automatically mean you're gay... I mean, it wasn't an attraction to him was it?"
"I just... I mean, before that he was just staring at me, more of the glare like he gave me the other day, and I just couldn't look away. That was before he had even come over to stand close to me."
"So you think you really like this guy..."
Slightly embarrassed and still trying to take it all in himself, Shuichi hung his head in shame. Noticing this though, Hiro came and placed an arm around him.
"Don't worry Shu, it's nothing to be ashamed of. If that's how he makes you feel then there is nothing you or anyone can do about it. Plus, the fact that he likes you back is, well, you're lucky to have found someone that can return your feelings."
"That's just it though. He just suddenly stopped and threw me out his room... and I haven't seen him since."
"Oh... that doesn't make much sense. I guess there's only one way to find out what's going on..."
After Hiro didn't carry on, Shuichi looked up at his questionly.
"Do I have to spell everything out for you?" Hiro sighed. "Talk to him! Tell him how you feel."
"But how can I? What would I say?"
Before Hiro could respond, the pair noticed a customer had taken a seat at the bar and was waiting to order.
"You...?" Shuichi gasped.
"Don't mind me." Yuki grinned at the pair as they realised Hiro still had his arm around his friend. Jumping a part, Hiro bowed before returning to the glasses, leaving Shuichi to offer Yuki a drink. Being as civil and formal as possible, Shuichi asked what drink 'Sir' would like.
"Don't be like that Shuichi."
"Like what? I'm just doing my job?... Hey wait, how do you know my name!?"
Shuichi dropped his head in disbelief and silently cursed himself for being so stupid as Yuki pointed to his staff name tag.
"Double JD, on the rocks."
As he filled the glass with the sweet smelling liquid, Shuichi built up all the courage he had and managed to blurt out a question as he placed the drink on the bar.
"Could you read my lyrics?"
"Huh?"
"Yesterday, when I read that stuff, well, it was really good, and I was just wondering if you would read some of the things I wrote and give me your opinion"
"So that's why... you just want me to put you in contact with a few people, pull a few strings." Yuki's anger started to build and it can out in his voice. How could he have been so naïve to think that this boy had no idea who he was?
"What?... If you don't want to read them, that's fine... it's just... it's just..." Suddenly he couldn't hold back anymore and the words came out before he even realised he was thinking them.
"I just wanted to see you again!"
"Hiro... You know the other day you asked why I was so late and I told you I was sent to deliver some room service...?"
His friend nodded while continuing to empty the clean glasses from the dishwasher, ready for the evening shift.
