The plane ride took about 16 hours and they went through about 8 time zones. Since they left about 6pm, they got there about 2 in the morning the next day. Eiri had fallen asleep on the plane, Shuichi however was unable to sleep. When they landed, Shuichi turned to Eiri and started poking him. When Eiri gave a groan, Shuichi said, "Yuki, wake up. We're there at last."
Eiri opened his eyes, looked over at Shuichi, and smiled. "Well then I guess we should go find our hotel." Shuichi smiled. When they got out of the airport Eiri called for a taxi. Shuichi just followed Eiri's lead since he didn't speak a word of French. When they got to the airport Eiri paid the driver and said, "We're here. Grab your stuff."
Shuichi grabbed his things and got out of the van. When he looked up at the hotel, he was speechless. He had never seen such a wonderful hotel in his life. He turned to Eiri and said, "Oh Yuki. This is wonderful."
Eiri smiled and said, "Wait to you see our room." As they went inside Eiri told Shuichi to sit in a chair and wait while he got their key for the room. When he was done he turned to Shuichi and saw him about to pass out. So he quickly said, "Coming, or would you prefer to sleep in the lobby?" Shuichi pulled himself out of his chair and walked over to Eiri. "Starting to feel the effects of not sleeping huh?" Shuichi nodded. "Here, let me carry you. I'll have someone bring the bags up." Shuichi nodded again and gave Eiri his bags. Eiri took Shuichi's and his bags up to the service counter. When he was done, he picked Shuichi up and carried him to the elevator.
By the time the elevator got them to their floor, Shuichi was already asleep in Eiri's arms. Eiri just laughed to himself and opened the door, which he found easier to do then he thought it would have been. When the door opened, it revealed a magnificent honeymoon sweet. There was a giant king size bed, whirlpool tub, a large balcony with a table and chairs, a plasma screen TV, and a couch. The nightstands, dresser, headboard for the bed, and the entertainment center were made out of cherry. There was also a wonderful crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Eiri wished Shuichi was awake to see this, but didn't want to disturbed him. So he got Shuichi into his boxers and his tee-shirt and placed him in the bed. Eiri then did the same for himself. Before he fell back asleep he kissed Shuichi gently on the cheek and said, "I love you."
When Shuichi awoke the next morning, he thought that he was still dreaming. He had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't. When knew that he was actually awake he noticed that Eiri was still sleeping next to him. He just smiled and proceeded to look around. When he was done, he made himself a bubble bath and got in. While he was in, Eiri woke up to an empty bed. So he got up and looked for him. When he entered the bathroom, he found a totally relaxed Shuichi playing with the bubbles. "Having fun?"
Shuichi looked up at him and said, "Yah, I am. Care to join me?"
Eiri just smiled and said, "Maybe later. Hurry up though, there is lots to see and I want to visit the Ifle Tower this morning after breakfast." With that he turned and closed the door leaving Shuichi alone once again with his bubble bath.
When Shuichi was done getting dressed, they left the hotel room. "So where are we going?"
Eiri smiled and said, "There is this nice little restaurant on the corner. It has really nice food." That seemed o satisfy Shuichi, so he didn't say anything else. When they got there Eiri had to read the menu to Shuichi, but he didn't mind. They both agreed on crepes to have. With it Eiri had coffee and Shuichi had orange juice. "Where do you want to go when we're done?" Eiri asked while drinking his coffee.
"You're the one who knows Paris, so you choose. Besides, the Ifle Tower sounds like a wonderful idea." said Shuichi while trying to savor every taste of his wonderful crepes.
When they were done, Eiri hailed a cab to drive them to the Ifle Tower. As soon as they got out of the car, Shuichi ran up to the nearest flower stand. He had spotted the most gorgeous red rose he had ever seen. Eiri took the hint and bought it for him. Shuichi looked up at him with big eyes and said, "Oh Eiri. Thank you so much."
Eiri blushed when he realized that Shuichi had called him Eiri. It was about as weird for him to hear as it was for Shuichi to say. Before they went up to the top, Shuichi made sure to get all of his souvenirs at the souvenir stand. The stand had souvenirs from all over Paris. He got one for everyone who had been apart of the wedding. He knew that they would love them. When Shuichi was ready to go up, Eiri saw a photographer. He turned to Shuichi and said, "Do you want to get our picture taken in front of the tower?" Shuichi nodded his head and bounced around while Eiri asked the photographer to take it. When he had taken the picture Eiri told Shuichi that it would take 2 hours to develop. Shuichi didn't care about how long it would take, he wanted to get to the top. So he dragged Eiri to the elevator.
When the elevator doors opened at the top, Shuichi gasped. It was the most beautiful and romantic sight he had ever seen. He went up to the railing and looked at the wonderful sight that was Paris. He didn't want to stop looking. While they were up there, Eiri told Shuichi what every monument's name was. Shuichi was so grateful that Eiri had suggested this. He loved him even more that morning than he did last night.
