AN: I know what you're thinking... ANOTHER ONE! This is another cute thought I had. I've got a ton of them in fact! Like I said, before it'll take me a while to get the next chapter of LTS up because of my DSL... :sighs: On with the show!
"Tell me how they met again?" She asked looking at her Uncle Hiro.
Tatsuha sighed, "Ichi... You already know that."
"I know, but its sooooo romantic!"
"Since when does, Aniki, telling Shu-chan he hates him qualify as romantic?"
"He didn't mean it!"
Hiro and Tatsuha exchanged skeptical looks.
"Tou-san loves okaa-san very much!" The thirteen year old declared.
"I'm sure he does..."
"But he's such a grump!"
Hiro: "Where'd that come from?"
"Lover's Day is coming up, and tou-san hasn't made any move to do anything for my dear okaa-san..."
"That's Aniki for you!"
"We've got to do something!"
"We?" Tatsuha and Hiro said in unison.
"Yeah?" Her amethyst eyes lit up with mischief. "We gotta do something to get tou-san and okaa-san together! I've seen how he acts... Now, I'm old enough to do something about it!"
Tatsuha sighed. "All right, I'm in! What's the plan?"
"Well, first we..."
Yuki touched the card that lay on top of his desk next to his laptop. It hadn't been there when he'd woke up. He picked it up, carefully opened it, and began to read:
Yuki,
Meet me at the park after work.
Love,
Shu-chan
He frowned . The park? What was going on here?
Brat,
Meet me at the park after work.
Yuki
He smiled as he read it. Then hugged the note to his chest. What could this mean?
"You wanted something? Yuki asked, coming upon the pink-haired sprite.
"Huh?"
"Did you want something?"
"No."
"What?"
"You called me here."
The novelist frowned. "I most certainly did not!"
"Then what's up with this, Yuki..." He shoved the paper forward.
Ichigo watched from the shadows of a nearby bushing, grinning like a sun-bleached skull.
"And the ball is rolling..."
"Never seen it!" He looked at his own message. "And this..."
"I went straight to work, Yuki. I didn't have time to write anything..."
The blonde frowned again.
Something odd was going on here...
"What's with them!" she muttered. "Why aren't they kissing or something?"
"How's it going?"
"Not so good, Uncle Tatsuha..." Ichigo sighed. "They're here; they're just not DOING anything..."
"They will. Give those two time; they will."
"I have a feeling a shiny haired brat is behind this..."
"Huh?"
"A shiny haired Strawberry."
"Oh! You mean..."
"Yeah. This is their attempt to get us together for Lover's Day."
"Ichi didn't do this on her own..."
"You're right. She has an accomplice..."
Shuichi knew where Yuki was going. "A blue-eyed horny guy with black hair perhaps?"
His lover nodded. "Yeah, that's him." He looked around.
"Damn! We've been found!"
"ICHIGO UESUGI!"
"Sorry, Tat-san..."
"I guess the cat's out of the bag..."
"Tatsuha, I know that's you over there!"
The bushes rustled and out crawled his younger brother on his hands and knees. "Never see the day." Yuki announced with a grin. "Oh, Aniki! We-I was just..." "Cut the crap, Tatsuha, before you start spouting some of your lies!" He looked around. "Where's Ichi?" Shuichi asked. "Huh?" "I SAID, cut the crap! We KNOW she's here. We KNOW she's the mastermind behind this..." Tatsuha's face fell. "Aww, c'mon, guys. She just wanted to get her parents together on Lover's Day. Is that so wrong?"
"It's okay, Uncle Tatsuha.." Ichigo appeared behind them with a slight smile. "I just want my parents to be happy."
Shuichi smiled fondly. "Ichi-honey... "He kneeled down. "We ARE happy! Isn't that right, Yuki?"
"Yeah."
"See?"
Ichigo shifted. "Tou-san, do you really love okaa-san?"
"Of course..."
"Then tell him that."
"Ichi..."
"Ichigo Shindou-Uesugi. Not a day goes by that I have not told Shuichi that I love him."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"I wanna hear it."
His amber eyes focused on her amethyst ones.
He nodded, taking his young lover by the shoulder. "Shuichi?" "Yes!" "Brat?" "Yes, Yuki!" He lowered his head, lips towards his love's. "I love you, brat..." He pressed his mouth gently to the vocalist's. Shuichi arched up on his toes to receive his love's full kiss. He closed his eyes, thoroughly tasting him as Yuki's tongue swept into his mouth. "Mmm." Ichi grinned, knowing something was going on. She high-fived her uncle. "Job well done, Tat-san!" "You too, kid!"
Shuichi and Yuki separated, the sprite lowering himself onto the souls of his feet. "Happy Lover's Day, Yuki!"
"Happy Lover's Day, brat..."
