A-N: Well, ah-heh, you see I found it very amusing when Ayami was staying over and decided to sleep in Kyo's room. Kyo gets mad, tells him to sleep somewhere else, and Ayami replies ever so pitifully, 'But Shigure will keep me up all night!' SOOOO many meanings for that. XD And then later when they're at the lake none of the three got any sleep under the same pretense (and many other hints that excluded Hatori). So... what is it they do that keeps them up all night?

Don't own Fruits Basket. I wish I did, but I don't. If I were in such an esteemed position I would kill the Japanese voice actor for Yuki. It was disgusting how feminine he was. I thought it was Tohru talking! Nasty nasty nasty! Okay, story now.

But he keeps me up All Night!

Ayami flounced down the hallway toward his brother's room. He honestly did want to get close to him, and what better way than to sleep with him? Stopping short before one of the many doors he leaned forward and rapped sharply. The door opened to reveal the face of a slightly shorter boy with silky yet dull black hair and subdued violet eyes that seemed to hold him with detest as soon as they registered who they were looking at.

"Oh Yuki!" he cried happily, seeming to completely ignore the contempt evident in the other boy's gaze as he threw himself forward. "What better way to get to know each other than to sleep together? I'm sure you want to know all about your older brother." The door slammed shut and he fell forward in to it with a loud thud. A barely audible click informed the boy on the outside it had been locked. Sighing in defeat he turned and trundled to a different room in which to stay.

.:Doink:.

"Shigure!"

The dark haired writer looked up, still chewing on his pen, and took in the sight before him. His white haired best friend stood in the doorway to his studio wearing a rather overdone nightgown and holding several pieces of bedding. He was being over dramatic as always as he stood posed on the threshold with one hand tentatively to his forehead as his eyes fluttered behind closed lashes.

"Oh Shigure, it was horrible," he wailed miserably. Shigure paid little attention as he turned back to his manuscript.

"I told you not to over do it," he replied calmly, removing the pen from his mouth to jot down a few things before tapping the utensil on the table in aggravation. "He isn't ready to open up that much. And that stunt you pulled this afternoon didn't help much, either."

"It was cold!" Ayami protested, dropping his pose and turning young looking green-gold eyes to the other man. He looked as if he were about to stamp his foot in punctuation of the fact, but maintained his dignity.

"Still, it wasn't the best entrance to perform," Shigure contradicted, "nor was coming home in her coat after dinner, for that matter."

"She offered that time," the feminine boy defended. Shigure seemed to pay very little attention as he continued to stare at the half empty page before him. Adopting a slightly serious expression Ayami moved to stand behind him and peered over his shoulder. Shigure didn't bother turning to him as they both stared at the page.

"Something's off," he muttered, "I just can't put my finger on what." Ayami let out a small yelp of shock and dismay in his typical overly dramatic style.

"Goodness, Shigure," he moaned, "this isn't like you. Look at this, you've gone and used double negatives here." He pointed out a spot about half way through the written page as he continued, pointing out more problems. "But the problem I think you were concerned about," he finished, "is the over use of pronouns in this sentence. See, you used 'they' three times!" Shigure didn't even really acknowledge him as he moved about making the changes.. In the background Ayami was loudly praising himself for being so wonderful with the written language, though Shigure ignored him as best he could. He wasn't even paying attention as Ayami turned the computer beside him away and began tinkering with it.

"Shigure?" Shigure grunted in reply, once again chewing on his pen. "Is this thing connected? I can't get it to do anything." Shigure shot a glance at where Ayami sat crouched over the computer with a look of frustration and annoyance on his face.

"Mii wouldn't let m so much as put solitaire on it," he bemoaned. Aya looked up in horror; tactfully over-done, of course.

"That's awful!" the other man cried, bringing his hands to his face in a look of horror. "How could she do something like this?" Shigure shrugged in response.

"The one in my room is connected," he offered. Ayami looked at him with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he carelessly flicked off the computer without bothering to shut it down properly. He knew Shigure rarely typed up his manuscripts unless Mii forced him and nothing vital would be lost.

"But what about your manuscript?" he asked coyly, gathering the bedding he had dumped at the door. Shigure was stretching as he stood up from his seat before the desk and he turned to smile at the man stooped over the numerous blankets on the floor.

"It can wait," he said simply, the devious look Ayami had in his own eyes was now reflecting quite nicely in his friend's. "Mii will probably throw a fit over this," he chuckled. "Ah I can't wait to see the look on her face!"

"You are horrible!" the white haired boy reprimanded with an effeminate flick of his free wrist. He smiled broader as his friend moved to join him in the door.

"Oh but I try," he sighed. The two laughed as they left the study to find Shigure's better-equipped room. Just like good old times. Except…

"Shigure?" The man in question turned to look at his friend as they walked.

"Yes?" he replied.

"Shouldn't we invite Hatori?"

.:Doink:.

Why am I ending it so ǖber short? Because I'm tired and I'm afraid if I write much more tonight then I'll start getting the characters grotesquely OOC (if they aren't already). I dread it, but I tend to do it a lot. Sad but true, eh? Another reason is that my inspiration is gone. Yes, yes it is true. You see I listen to a lot of AMVs while I'm writing, doing graphics, cooking…..or doing anything, really. However we had to reformat my computer recently and I lost them all. It makes me sad, but now I have to go download them all over again. Unfortunately one of the websites I got them from seems to have vanished, so I must get a hold of my muse and have her send me the copy she has…except a few of hers are corrupt from the copy I made (remember kids, writing discs is a sensitive process, so don't leave anything that will pop up running, including Norton Anti-virus. Made me mad, it did. So if anyone knows of a website called Miroku's Corner (or hide out or something like that) please give me the address. It's all Fruits Basket and InuYasha AMVs for pages and pages and pages. My favorite was a Haru tribute called "Haru can be happy…when he's not Black Haru!" It was to some song called "You could be so Happy (if you got somebody to love)" or somethin'. Really pretty. Anyways, review, but please don't flame. I have a very sensitive self confidence level and…well yeah. Just don't go ape with the "YOU SUCK!" I can handle "You could work on this" but not "YOU SHOULD BE BURNED AT THE STAKE FOR THIS!" (Yeah, someone told me that once. Cried for a week. Then I throttled the .:bleep:.) I'll be quiet now. Let you review or hide or whatever. Bye!
