AN: Part two! Woohoo! I'm on a roll… Anyway, it's Wednesday and Yuki is working on his present to Shu, while Shuichi is busy at work… Read and enjoy!

Shuichi woke up the next morning exhausted. K had kept them at the studio until 11 pm trying to get the second song right. They had gotten through the first song without a hitch, but the second song, for some reason, they just couldn't get right.

Reiji finally couldn't handle it anymore and had sent the band home, telling them they needed to be there at 7 am. Shuichi threw his right arm over his face and sighed. His alarm was set to go off at 6 am, so he'd be awake before K could come and shoot him. Turning on his side, he snuggled into Yuki and promptly fell back to sleep.

Shuichi awoke an hour later to cold steel pressing into his side. Not comprehending the situation, he sleepily murmured, "Yuki… It's too early in the morning for that…"

The cold was removed from his side, and was immediately followed by the sound of a shot firing. Shuichi bolted straight out of bed, dodging the falling plaster instinctively.

"K! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, HUH?"

K just smiled. "Rise and shine, Shuichi! We have three songs to record in two days if you want Friday off!"

Shuichi glared at his manager before realizing that all of the noise could have disturbed Yuki. Quickly, he turned around.

Yuki was still asleep. Shuichi let out a sigh of relief.

The rest of the day went downhill for Shuichi. Besides being shot at every twenty minutes, they didn't finish the second song until 2 pm. To say Reiji was not thrilled was an understatement.

"Let me get this straight. We've been here since 7 AM and you've now just finished the second song." The three men nodded their heads meekly. "YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITH THAT HOURS AGO!" Suddenly, Reiji had her bazooka pointed at Shuichi, and the pink haired singer lost it.

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE POINTING THAT THING YOU EVIL BITCH!"

BANG!

Shuichi fell to the floor.

"Reiji-sama," Suguru started quietly, "Shooting Shindou-san isn't going to get the songs recorded faster. If anything, it will put us behind schedule."

At 11 pm, they had finished the third song, and the band went home.

Eiri woke up feeling refreshed. Getting out of bed, the blonde suddenly noticed the plaster that covered Shuichi's side of the bed. Looking up at the roof, and then back at his lover's side of the bed, the writer decided he didn't want to know.

Eiri took a quick shower and dressed in a pair of charcoal slacks and a black sweater. Satisfied with his appearance, even though he had no intention of leaving the house, he made his way to the spare bedroom that was his office. Sitting in the chair in front of his laptop, he began to set up his workspace.

Shuichi kept his keyboard close to Eiri's desk, so all the writer needed to do was turn the keyboard so that it was perpendicular to the desk. That way, he just needed to turn his chair and he could play the keyboard. Turning on his computer, he opened a fresh Word document and began brainstorming.

Anniversary song.
Shuichi.
Love.

Eiri stared at what he'd written so far. He stared for a long time, before realizing that he didn't know what to write about. He knew that he wanted to tell Shuichi he loved him, and that it was for their anniversary, but that was it.

'How does the brat do it?' he thought.

Unconsciously, Eiri pulled out a cigarette and lit it. It was on his way to his mouth before he realized what he was doing. Quickly, he put out the cigarette and threw away the still smoldering stick.

Tilting back in the chair, the writer began thinking. 'I have to think of something. How am I supposed to do this?'

A piece of paper caught Eiri's eye. It was peeking out of the corner of a notebook that he vaguely recognized as being his lover's songwriting book. "Hmm.." Eiri said out loud. "I wonder if the brat's brainstorms are in here…"

Taking the notebook and flipping through it, he stopped. He was halfway through the book, but it didn't look like there were any brainstorms in it. Sighing, he put the notebook back where he found it.

An idea hit him suddenly. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed a familiar number.

On the second ring, Tohma Seguchi picked up. "Ah, Eiri-san! To what do I owe this honor?"
Eiri sighed. 'This was a bad idea,' he thought. 'I'm already getting a headache.'

"Cut the crap, Tohma. I have a question."

Eiri could hear Tohma smile over the phone. The writer was seriously beginning to regret calling his brother-in-law. "I may have an answer. What seems to be the problem, Eiri-san?"

"How do you write a song?"

There was a pause. Eiri counted to ten. Tohma was still quiet. Eiri counted to twenty. When Tohma still didn't speak, Eiri growled.

There was a "tsk" on the other end, signaling Tohma was still thinking. The writer rolled his eyes. Tohma was a musician and a producer. Surely, this was a simple question?

"Well," Tohma began. "First, you need to decide what the song is about."

The writer shook his head. Realizing his brother-in-law couldn't see him, he said "uh-huh."

Taking that as 'Eiri-knows-what-he's-writing-about' instead of just 'okay,' Tohma continued. "Then, you begin to write about your feelings on the subject. Take, for instance, a love song. You would isolate the reason for the song, then the song would be your feelings towards the reason."

"That's it? That's all I have to do?" Eiri asked.

"That's the basics, yes."

Eiri nodded and hung up without saying anything. Tohma knew him well enough to not take offense. 'Just write how I feel, huh? Should be simple.'

Three hours later, the blonde was ready to start writing the song. He had finally written down how he felt about Shuichi. It had totaled 80 pages. 'Now,' Eiri thought. 'To pick the most poignant feelings.'

At 10 pm, the song was finished. Eiri saved the file on his computer and went to bed.

AN: Alright! Tomorrow or later on today part three will be up… Don't forget to review!
