The next morning Shuichi was even more energetic than usual. He just couldn't sit still because of what he heard Eiri say last night. Shuichi's behavior, on the other hand, was annoying Eiri. So he said to him, "Why are we so happy this morning? You're just like you did the morning after we did it for the first time."

Shuichi turned to him with a big smile on his face and said, "Oh, no reason. I am just really happy for some reason."

Eiri had the strangest feeling that Shuichi new something that he didn't. But didn't care because was going to go out and find an engagement ring after Shuichi left for work.

"Well, I'm off," said Shuichi as he headed for the door. "See you later."

When Shuichi closed the door, Eiri quickly got up to go into his room to change. When he was done he went straight for the phone book to find the jewelry section. While he was looking at all of the store names, the doorbell rang. Eiri choose to ignore it, but it rang again. So he got up thinking that Shuichi had left both his key and something he needed inside. When he opened the door, he wasn't facing Shuichi, but was facing Tohma. He let out a sigh and said, "What do you want."

Tohma smiled and said, "Just to see how you are doing. May I come in?" Eiri sighed again and moved so Tohma could get in. Tohma walked in and said, "So, how are your Eiri?

Eiri looked at him and then remembered that he left the phone book wide open on the couch. He turned and walked towards the living room while saying, "Fine. What do you want Seguchi?" He hurried into the living room, not knowing that Tohma was on his heels. Eiri went straight for the phonebook to close it. But it was to late. Tohma had seen want the phonebook was open to.

Tohma looked at Eiri with a curious face and said, "What are you doing Eiri?" Eiri didn't respond so Tohma was left to figure it out on his own. "Well, lets see. Why would you have the phonebook open to the jewelry section? Well, this undoubtedly has something to do with Mr. Shindo doesn't it?" Eiri just stared at him with anger in his eyes for Tohma intrusion into his personal life. Not hearing anything from Eiri, Tohma knew instantly that he was right. "So, shopping for a gift or something more?"

Eiri stared at him for a second and then said, "What business is it of yours? My personal life is my own business, not yours." Eiri was starting to get really ticked off. "So tell me why you are here so you can leave."

Tohma just smiled. "I am just here to see you. It has been a while since we last saw each other." Nobody said anything. "Eiri, are you sure you know what you are doing. I don't want to see either of you get hurt."

Eiri just smiled. "We'll be fine."

Tohma knew instantly what Eiri was up to. He never said that they would both be fine unless he was about to do something drastic. He usually just said that he would be fine. "Eiri? Are you going to ask him to marry you?" Eiri face turned a slight pink, which surprised Tohma. "I thought so. If I might suggest a place, I would go to the jewelry shop on Cherry Street. They always have wonderful things."

Eiri was a little taken back by Tohma's comment. He normally wouldn't have done this. "What are you playing at Seguchi?"

Tohma just smiled again as said, "I just want you to be happy. But there is one thing I would like." Eiri glared at him but didn't say anything. "I would like to be your best man."

All Eiri could do was say, "What makes you think that you are even invited?"

Tohma laughed. "Oh, you know I will be there. So? May I?" Tohma had a very anxious face on. He was really hoping that Eiri would say yes.

Eiri stared at him for about a minute and a half before he said, "Fine. But keep it quiet. I haven't even asked him yet."

Tohma was about as happy as Shuichi was this morning. "If you want help choosing a ring or need help making a romantic setting or anything, just call." With that Tohma left leaving Eiri once again alone to go through the phonebook. He opened it up to the one Tohma had mentioned and saw that they indeed were a wonderful place. Rated one of the best in Japan. So Eiri got his jacket and left the apartment and headed for the store hoping to find the most wonderful ring for not just anything would do for his Shuichi. He thought to himself that after all this time, Shuichi would finally belong all to him.
