For the next few days, they didn't do much. They mainly stayed in the room, except when they went for the occasional walk, meal at the restaurant on the corner, or to a shop down the street. Otherwise they staid inside and cuddled, played chess, or read the magazines that Ryuichi kept sending them. Eiri had finally taught Shuichi how strategize when playing chess. Shuichi took to this quickly and beat Eiri a few times. This shocked both of them. Neither thought that he would ever win.
On the day before they left, Shuichi woke up early. He thought that Eiri looked so peaceful so he just let him continue sleeping. Since Shuichi had nothing to do, He went through the souvenirs he bought earlier in the week. He decided who was getting what. He was going to give Hiro a Paris tee-shirt with a picture of the Eiffel tower on it, Ayaka a lovely Parisian necklace that reminded him of her , Suguru a miniature Eiffel tower, Ryuichi and Mr. Bear got matching "J'aime France" I love France tee-shirts, Mika a wool beret, Tohma a French designer scarf, Noriko a lovely French designer umbrella, Tatsuha a stack of French postcards, K a French bag to hold his gun in, and Mr. Sakano a teapot with French designs on it. I was so hard for him to find something different for everyone, and even more hard to find something they might enjoy.
He was into figuring this out, he didn't notice Eiri sneak up behind him. "Boo!" Shuichi nearly fell on top of the teapot. He was breathing heavily and Eiri was smiling. "Did I scare you?"
"Yes, you did. Why did you do that? I know how jumpy I get." said in a tone that was both angry and relieved at the same time.
"I know your jumpy. I just couldn't resist." Eiri smiled and Shuichi just looked him while trying to catch his breath. "So, what do you want to do on your last day in Paris?"
Shuichi gave him a seductive look. "I can think of a few things."
"No sex!" Eiri said instantly. "We are going to spend as much time out of this room as possible. So pack as much stuff up as you can, because we are going out."
Shuichi was shocked by this statement, but thought he had better do as he was told. So he packed up all of the gifts, and his clothes into the new suitcases they bought to fit it all. When he was done he turned to Eiri and said, "Where do you want to go?"
Eiri didn't have a clue. He just wanted out of the hotel room. "It doesn't matter, as long as we are out and about. I'm starting to feel Closter phobic in here." Shuichi nodded. Truth was, he was starting to feel it to. So they left the hotel room, and just started walking down the street. They eventually stopped at a café to have something to eat and drink. Shuichi was starting to get used to French cuisines, and liked them. Eiri was starting to feel that he was getting fat. "As soon as we get home, I'm going on a diet."
Shuichi giggled and said, "Oh, really. You won't last on diet."
Eiri glared at him and said, "Is that so?" Shuichi nodded. "Well then, lets make a bet." Shuichi gave Eiri a surprised look. "I bet you that once we get home, I can go on a diet for two weeks. If I win, you will go on a diet for two weeks."
"And if I win?" Shuichi asked curiously.
"If you, I'll be your slave for a day." said Eiri with a grin.
"Deal." said Shuichi instantly. "What are the rules of this bet?"
Eiri smiled and said, "Rules? There are no rules. You just have to get me to pig out on something and I have to resist. That's all."
Shuichi smiled a vindictive smile. "This is going to be some two weeks. Hope your up for it."
Eiri also smiled a vindictive smile. "Oh, I am. I hope your up for it. Because if I win, that means no sweets or anything else you like. I will have the others watch over you so you don't break your promise."
"Oh, is that so? Well until you win, if you win, you have to go with me everywhere so I can keep an eye on you. Deal?" asked Shuichi.
"Deal," said Eiri. With that they shock hands and finished eating. Both believed that they had the upper hand. Eiri had no idea what Shuichi was capable of, and Shuichi had no idea how much temptation Eiri could withstand. All they had was the thoughts of winning the deal.
