"Please, Yohji-Kun!"

Yohji sighed as he looked past his trademark sunglasses at Omi. " You have a break coming up, why don't you go to the health store?"

"Because it's two hours away, Yohji, and by the time I get there, it'll be too late. Please, you're the only one who has a break that'll fit into the schedule." Normally, Omi's pleading look could melt away even the iciest of hearts; but Yohji was particularly tired that day and really did not want to make a four-hour trip to some health store to buy some sort of beauty product for the boy.

"Omi, I-"

"I'd go tomorrow," Omi said, a small pout forming on his lips. "But, Aya-Chan needs her medicine today." The last comment perked up Yohji's interest.

"Well," he said, finally pulling himself up from the couch. "I can't say no to a sickly girl, can I?" He stretched lazily and walked over to the large doors of the flower shop. As his hands touched the handle, he heard something outside and quickly slipped out to see what it was.

"Goodbye, Nagi-dearest," Schuldig's voice called out silkily. "Don't rush back too soon. Have fun and don't be afraid to stay a while longer." Yohji watched as a small boy ducked into a black car. As soon as the car pulled from the curbs, the German let out a whoop. "Alone at last, with the annoyance gone, we won't have any more things fly at our heads while we have hot, pass-" before he could finish his sentence, however, the Irish man next to him had shoved him brutally against the wall. If Farfarello had used any more strength, Yohji mused, there'd be a dent in the apartment's brick wall. Brad apparently thought the same, rolling his eyes at their perverted antics.

Turning to leave, Yohji caught the eyes of a very horrified Ken from the window of the flower shop. He smirked and winked at the younger man. He looks fun he mouthed happily before throwing open the doors of his car.

The drive to the health store was utterly boring. In fact, the store itself was boring. As Yohji walked in, he caught a strong sniff of herbs. He stopped in front of an empty counter, wondering what to do next.

"May I help you?" The voice startled him, and he looked down at the short, elderly woman hidden behind the counter.

"Um, yes," the place made even Yohji nervous. "I need to pick up something for Fujimiya Aya…"

The woman got up and turned wordlessly into a backroom, leaving Yohji all alone and surrounded by the horrible smell of herbs. Feeling listless, he walked around the small store, looking at the different types of medicine. He stopped, however, in front of a small case: Wada Calcium CD3. But it wasn't the calcium pills that really caught Yohji's attention; it was the small, white bottle next to it. He picked up the little white bottle and turned it over in his hands, reading the tiny label: Pills to enhance the-

"Here are the medicines you ordered." The sudden sound made Yohji jump for the second time that day. He whipped around, suddenly feeling guilty. Quickly – and rather absentmindedly – he grabbed the calcium pills and slapped both bottles on the counter, turning an unusual shade of red.

"I'll take these as well." The old lady didn't say anything as Yohji paid for the medicine.

The ride home wasn't boring at all – Yohji had a lot of things to think about.

Before he got out of the car, Yohji emptied the bottle of calcium pills and hurriedly poured the other pills in. He kissed the bottle for "good luck" and strode into the flower shop. And, to his wonderful luck, the first person he came across was the same red-haired man he had been thinking about. "Yo, Fujimiya," he called, trying to hide his smirk.

Ran looked up from the lilies he had been watering. "Yes…?" There was something oddly suspicious about Yohji. Then again, when had the older man ever been normal?

Yohji tossed Ran the small bottle he had been holding tightly onto. "You look a bit pale; maybe you could use some good ol' calcium pills. Wouldn't want to have weak bones, ne, Ran?" Then, he transitioned back to normal as if nothing out of the ordinary had been going on. "Oh, and here's Aya-Chan's medicine."

"Calcium pills?" Ran shrugged and popped one of the small pills into his mouth and took a drink from the bottle of water next to him. There was a small moment of awkward silence as they stared at each other. "Well," Ran finally said, breaking the silence. "What're you standing there for?"

Yohji exhaled, not having realized he had been holding his breath. Maybe… it doesn't work that fast… but, that excuse wasn't plausible because he head read the entire label before coming into the shop. It was supposed to work almost instantly. "Are you feeling alright?" he asked hopefully.

Ran cocked his head to one side. "What's with you today? You're all… concerned. It's not like you." He paused. "Then again, that last question sounded like you wanted me to be in terrible pain or something." Yohji was left speechless and another awkward moment passed. "Well? Why are you still standing there, gawking at me? I'm fine, you know. Stop mothering me."

Feeling like a deflated balloon, Yohji made his way upstairs and completely missed seeing Ran spit a small, white pill into the pot of lilies next to him.
