im back! Sorry that took so long, but I had to make this chapter EXTRA long, seeing that it's the last chapter and all. Oh and I got caught rushing through the chapters too. I'm so sorry! To tell you the truth, I didn't even realize I was rushing until someone said something '
so here's the story, I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 7- Engaged (final chapter)
"He WHAT?" Hiro stared at Shuichi as he heard about the previous days events.
"Yup, Tohma said I could have NG for one whole day!"
"But why? I seriously doubt it was out of the kindness of his heart. Did you save his life or something?"
"Well, actually yeah."
"Really! From who? Was Mika telling the truth yesterday?"
"Of course! Why would she make something like that up? Yuki thought it was Tohma's fault that I died so he got pissed and tried to kill him for revenge, but I stopped him, so for saving his life, Tohma's handing NG over to me for a day so I can throw a party!" Shuichi decided not to give him all the details for the reason of Yuki's outburst. "Yeah, so you have to help me prepare and plan everything out, ok?"
"Sure. Hey, did you figure out what Yuki-san wanted yet?" Hiro began playing random songs on his guitar while chewing on a pocky stick.
"Yeah, I don't know if he'll like it though..."
"Do tell."
"Well..." Shuichi told Hiro his plan, first glancing around the room to make sure no one was listening.
"Wow, yeah I think you're pretty safe with that. Well, I dunno, it is Yuki that we're talking about after all... but you should go for it anyways."
"Really? Ok, but it's a secret though so only you, me and Fujisaki can know about it! I don't want to ruin the surprise!"
"Right-o. K so when do we start?"
"Hopefully tomorrow, but I need to get everything organized first. You just do your part and I'll see what I can put together tonight. Hopefully enough to get us started."
"Get what together?" Suguru Fujisaki had just entered the room with a cup of tea in his hands. Hiro told him Shuichi's plan, but he instantly refused. "Are you guys high or something! What the hell are you thinking! We have to get our next album in to Seguchi in three weeks! We haven't even started writing lyrics yet! We don't have time for your little projects!"
"Correction. We don't have to turn in our album for six weeks, not three. I got him to give us some more time! Take that, Fujisaki! Now you have no choice but to help us! I'm going to give my Yuki the best Christmas ever, and he's going to love me forever! He's gonna get into the Christmas mood whether he wants to or not! Ha! How do you like them oranges!"
"It's apple's you dunce." Fujisaki shook his head at the spastic vocalist. "How long are you going to need for this?"
"Well, it's the 12th today, so 25-12 is 14 days,"
"13"
"Right, 13. So 13 days until Christmas, it'll need to be ready two days before that, so 11 days. Not even two weeks! You have nothing better to do, so help us out! Please?"
"Ugh. Fine, but I better get paid overtime for this."
"Right on! Ok, but today we have to plan out the party, because this will probably be the best opportunity we'll get for some time." Shuichi got a pen and some paper and jotted down a few notes.
"What party? Since when is there a party? You guys don't tell me anything anymore!"
"Calm down, Fujisaki! Shuichi's throwing a Christmas Eve party here at NG. Tohma gave him control for a day."
"Oh, god, I'm surrounded by idiots! Seguchi's gone crazy!"
"Did someone say party? Bring out the booze!" K walked into the room and began searching for some alcohol, but obviously found nothing. "Come on! I thought you said there was a party! Where's the beer?"
"Not yet, December 24th. You're coming so you can bring the drinks. What else do we need?" Shuichi stared at the ceiling for inspiration.
"Let me see that." Hiro took the pen and paper from his friends to see what he had written down so far. "Well it would be helpful to figure out who you're going to invite, so we know how much food and stuff to buy. Who do you want to be there?"
"Yuki, you, K, Fujisaki, Ryu-chan, Noriko, Tohma, Mika, Tatsuha, the staff, Ayaka-,"
"Ok, so pretty much everyone than..." The rest of the day was spent planning out the night of the party.
December 24th
"Is everything ready! Is the food still fresh! Did we get the right music! Are all the presents wrapped! Were the invitations sent out! What time is it!" Shuichi was frantically running around the building to check that everything was set up as planned. Hiro, on the other hand, was sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette. He had arrived a few hours early to help Shuichi set everything up.
"Everything's fine. The food was just put out, you have about fifty different Christmas cd's, the gifts have been wrapped for days, the invitations were sent out last Tuesday, and it's only 6:30. Calm down, Shuichi. You're going to give yourself a heart attack." Hiro got up and grabbed his friend to stop him from running around in circles like a maniac and pulling out his hair. He gave him a paper bag and Shuichi started to hyperventilate in it.
"But something's going to go wrong! I can feel it in my gut, Hiro!"
"You're imagining things. You've been planning this party for almost two weeks, nothing can go wrong."
"But what if nobody comes? Or something catches on fire or-,"
"Listen, you can sit here until 7 and think of a million different disasters that can happen, or you can get your ass dressed. You're still in your pajamas! Did you sleep here last night or something?"
"Of course! I had to protect everything from robbers!"
"My god, are you serious? Robbers, Shuichi?" Hiro shook his head at the distressed vocalist.
"Yeah! I mean robbers celebrate Christmas too! They're too greedy to spend their own money on stuff, so they'll come and steal all of my stuff for their greedy selves and do something terrible like burn it, or break it, or worse! Ebay!" Shuichi shuddered at the thought. "You don't really expect me to sit around and let that happen, do you! No! I, Shuichi Shindou, refuse to let some petty criminal ruin my party!"
"Spaz, much? Ok, I get it already. But we now return to the problem that the party starts in...20 minutes and you're still not dressed yet."
"OH SHIT! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING EARLIER, HIRO!" Shuichi ran to the company bathroom, ripping off his clothes as he went.
7 o'clock
"Nobody's coming! I told you something would go wrong! The invitations must've gotten lost in the mail!"
"They were hand delivered to everyone. You gave them out yourself. It's only 7:01, Shuichi. People are always late, just give them a few minutes."
7:30, and still no guests had arrived.
"Oh, just give them a few minutes, he says! 30 minutes late! What do you have to say now, Hiro! I TOLD YOU SOMETHING WOULD GO WRONG!"
"I say they're just late."
"Hello? Hey Shuichi! Sorry, we're late, Tatsuha picked me up late." Ayaka walked through the front doors carrying a plate of cookies. Tatsuha staggered in behind her, laden with a colossal pile of gifts that looked like they were about to fall.
"Here, let me get that for you." Hiro took the plate from Ayaka, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek, causing her to smile. He put the plate with the other refreshments and went to stand next to Ayaka, ignoring the struggling Tatsuha.
"Oh, please, let me get this! No, no, I'm fine, really! I'll just stand here trying not to drop these! Hey-ah-no-left! Right! NO! DON'T DROP!" The pile of boxes in Tatsuha's arms began to sway left and right. "Phew, saved them."
"Hey, Tatsuha!" K came up behind him and clapped him on the shoulder, startling him into dropping everything onto the floor.
CRASH!
"No!"
"You clutz! What'd you go do that for? You'd better pick those up before they get stepped on."
One-by-one, all the guests arrived, bringing either food or presents. Music was playing and everyone was deep in conversation with someone else.
Once everybody had arrived, Hiro walked up to Shuichi, arm around Ayaka's shoulders.
"Hey, where's Yuki-san? I thought you invited him as well?"
"He had to go to Nagasaki to meet up with his editor. She's over there visiting family but refused to travel back here or change their meeting date, so Yuki had to fly out there instead. He should be back late tomorrow night though." Shuichi's eyes filled with tears as he remembered receiving the news a few days ago. "My Yuki is going to miss Christmas! I'll be so alone! And he'll have nobody to spend time with either! We worked so hard on his gift, but now it's a waste because he won't be here to receive it!"
"Oh, wow. That's so sad! Well, you can stay with Hiro and me tonight if you'd like, Shuichi." Hiro's eyes widened and he began to shake his head no at Shuichi when Ayaka wasn't looking.
"Really! Thank-I mean no! Sorry, I have to stay home to...work on something. Very important, been putting it off for ages! Thanks for the offer though."
"Oh, well if you change your mind." Ayaka walked off to get some punch, leaving Hiro and Shuichi to talk.
"Sorry, Hiro. I forgot about your big plan. Do you still have the ring?"
"Yeah, I hid it in this sweatshirt I found in a box in the closet."
"Hey Shuichi! And Hiro too!" Staggered over to the two, a beer in one hand and a gun in the other. "Hey, did you guys know there was a tree in her? Oh no! Forest gone wild!" K dramatically clapped his hands to his face and gasped.
"Uh, that's just the Christmas tree. It's supposed to be in here."
"Don't tell me you believed that lie! That's what it wants you to think! It tells you those lies to cover up its secret identity as a mutant plant that grows and grows until it has the whole planet covered in its sticky acidy sap and devours all life on earth and uses our digested bodies as fertilizer to make even more mutant plans and take over the universe! We must destroy it!" K turned towards the tree and began throwing random objects at it, completely forgetting about the fully loaded gun in his left hand. "Die, you treacherous cheesecake! You may look and taste good, but deep within your crust is you evil potion that destroys even the best women bodies!"
"But you were just going on about the mutant tree!"
"Mutant tree? You must've had a few too many drinks there, Hiro, there's no such thing as mutant trees! And I was just trying to swat this stupid fairy that thinks it can fly better then me!" K pointed to the 'fairy', which turned out to be a fly. He then climbed onto a chair and jumped off, frantically waving his arms up and down. He fell to the ground and busted out laughing."Did you see that! The cookies just stood up and did a tap dance! Cookies! Dancing! Ha ha!" He began rolling on the floor laughing, holding his stomach and kicking his legs up and down.
"Claude, dear, are you drunk again?" K's wife, Judy Winchester, walked over to the three and stared at her hysterical husband on the floor. "Let's go. You need to drink some water before you throw up." She pulled him to his feet and started to lead him to the kitchen.
"But baby! I was just about to defeat the giant gorilla over there! Winner gets a whole bunch of bananas! We'll be having smoothies for weeks!"
"Yes, I'm sure you'd win too, but you'll have to tell your monkey friend to finish this some other time."
K then grabbed Judy's backside and smiled. "Have you been working out, baby? You look good!" Judy smacked him and started giggling.
"Not when you're drunk, sweetheart." She then dragged him out of the room.
"You know, I didn't think it was possible to get drunk in fifteen minutes, but I guess you have to consider the fact that it's K we're talking about..." Hiro watched his manager get dragged by his feet to the kitchen: he was now making his fingers do the can-can on his stomach.
Ayaka returned with drinks for her, Shuichi, and Hiro.
"Oh, thanks." Shuichi accepted the glass of wine and took a drink of the deep red liquid. "I'm going to look for Ryuichi." He walked away to look for Nittle Grasper's lead singer, and found him with Tatsuha by the deserts.
"Shuichi-kun! I haven't seen you for ages!" Ryuichi ran over to Shuichi and glomped him, knocking him to the ground. Tatsuha watched the two enviously, wishing he could get a hug from his idol as well.
"I just saw you yesterday!"
"Oh. Well it seemed like forever!" He let Shuichi stand back up, then decided to tackle Tatsuha as well. Tatsuha wasn't expecting the attack, and also fell victim to the charging Ryuichi. He attached himself to Tatsuha's waist, causing both of them to fall.
"Ha! Got you know, Tats-kun!" Tatsuha hugged Ryuichi back, laughing at the infantile man.
"That's right! You got me! I'm down!"
"Now you'll never get away from me and Kumagoro-chan!" Tatsuha stood up and Ryuichi clung onto his right leg. Tatsuha looked down for a second, then triumphantly raised his hands into the air and whispered "score!" to himself.
For the next three hours, Shuichi wandered from group to group, sharing drinks and laughing at jokes, listening to the music and eating a few things from the rapidly declining pile of food. The next thing he knew, it was 10:00 and nearly everyone was drunk. He himself had lost all sense hours ago, and even Tohma drank a little too much.
"Come on, Shuichi-kun! You have to be quieter, or they'll catch us!" Tohma was leading Shuichi over to a large group of people with two cans of whipped cream in his hands. Shuichi was right behind him with a bottle of chocolate syrup and a jar of maraschino cherries.
As they got closer to the unsuspecting crowd, Tohma stood up and thrust his hand into the air and screamed, "ATTACK!" He and Shuichi charged forward, spraying and throwing the desert toppings everywhere. The group of people erupted into chaos, trying to run away from the maniacal pair.
"Hurry, Tohma-san! Before they spot us! Hiro said we would be invisible for 15 seconds before they could see us again! We have to free them from the evil mushroom spirits!" Shuichi shouted as he squirted chocolate syrup all over the person standing next to him.
"TOHMA! SHUICHI!"
"No! Mika spotted us, Shuichi! Run away!" the two weaved their way through the crowd and ran towards the elevator, only to run smack into Fujisaki, who was walking out of the bathroom.
"OWW! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!"
"SUGURU! HOLD THEM STILL!" Mika burst from the crowd of people and ran towards the three sprawled on the ground.
"Shuichi, it's time! We have to do it now or else we'll miss the opportunity!"
"But what if we fail? It's too early, Tohma! We're not prepared to face the king yet! I'm almost out of ammo!"
"Failure is not an option! We must rescue my wife from the evil king! Are you with me, Shuichi?"
"I'm with you till the end, sensei!"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU TWO! YOU'RE CAUSING TOO MUCH TROUBLE!" Mika was getting closer and closer with every passing second.
"Here she comes! Ready, Shuichi?"
"Hey! What are you guys doing?" Fujisaki watched as Tohma and Shuichi stood up and shook their ice cream toppings with determined looks on their faces.
"Ready!"
"Aim!"
"I GOT YOU KNOW, YOU DRUNK IDIOTS!"
"FIRE!" The second Mika was within three feet of them, Tohma and Shuichi released all content that was held within the items in their hands. They ignored the screams coming from Mika's mouth, and the hysterical Fujisaki who was rolling on the floor laughing by their feet(Suguru was a little drunk as well).
they finally ran out of ammunition and looked upon the whipped cream and chocolate covered Mika in front of them. Shuichi ran up to her and placed a cherry on her head, then quickly retreated to hide behind Tohma. Tohma slowly crept up toward his silent wife.
"Be careful!" Shuichi shouted. "She might still be under the Mushroom king's control!" Tohma was now face-to-face with Mika, and he gently placed his hand on her rear-end. Her face turned bright red and she muttered something under her breath before grabbing a lamp that was next to her and smashing it on Tohma's head.
"OW!" Tohma looked up and saw a giant Mushroom soldier standing next to Mika with a giant club in its hand.
"RUN SHUICHI!" He stood up and grabbed Shuichi's arm, pulling him away from danger. "We failed! Retreat!" The two dashed around the room, screaming at the top of their lungs, trying to get away from the enraged Mika. They were shortly joined by K, who was also running away from his wife, who was trying to get the food out of his hair. K was picked off almost immediately, because he ran into wall and knocked himself out, but the other two weren't caught nearly as easily. They ran around the room, constantly running into chairs and people, until they were finally caught when Mika threw a coffee cup at Shuichi, who fell causing Tohma to trip over him. Mika slowly approached the two with fire in her eyes and the broken lamp still in her hand.
"Tohma, she caught us. It looks like this is the end for us."
"Yes, Shuichi, we failed to free her, but we won't die complete failures! At least we managed to free most of her minions!" Mika lowered her weapon and stared at the two in front of her: they were cowering against the wall, crying and hugging each other.
"What the hell are you guys babbling on about? Free me from what?"
"Huh? Mika? Are you back to normal now?"
"Normal? When was I not normal?"
"Hiro said that you had been possessed by the evil mushroom king from hell, and the only way to free you and your minions was to cover you with this ectoplasmic goo and place a sacred bead on your head! And the only way to be sure that you were free from his grasp was to make sure your butt wasn't vibrating. Are you back to normal again?" Tohma once again placed his hand on his wife's rear-end to check if she was free. He recieved a blow to the head with the lamp in her hand, but stood back up with a smile on his face. "She's free, Shuichi! We didn't fail after all!" The two stood up and started dancing hand in hand around Mika.
"She's normal! She's normal! Everything is normal again!" Mika slowly turned around and spotted Hiro crawling under the table.
"HIROSHI!" She shouted at the frightened guitarist and went to unleash her wrath upon him.
"Presents! Presents, presents, presents!" Ryuichi ran up to Shuichi and Tohma with a neatly wrapped gift in his hands. Tatsuha was right behind him, carrying Ryuichi's pink Kumagoro bunny.
"NO!" Shuichi snatched the box from Ryuichi and put it under the couch.
"If you open that box, it will explode!" Tohma explained.
"Explode? WAHH! My presents are all gonna explode, Tats-kun!" Ryuichi once again attached himself to Tatsuha's leg, knocking him to the ground as well. "I don't wanna explode!" He then wrapped his arms around Tatsuha's waist and started crying. Tatsuha wouldn't stand for anybody making his Ryuichi cry, so he stood up and started yelling at Tohma and Shuichi.
"HOW DARE YOU THREATEN MY DARLING RYUICHI! YOU'LL NEVER SUCCEED WITH YOUR TREACHEROUS PLOT TO MAKE HIM EXPLODE!" He snapped into fighting position, prepared to protect his idol at all costs(Tatsuha was also a little drunk).
"Go, Tats-kun!" Ryuichi served as a cheerleader on the side.
"I heard a ticking noise! It was a bomb, I swear!" Tohma covered his head in his defense.
"Huh?"
"Ok, the box was ticking, so we put it in a quarantined area where it won't cause any destruction, Ryuichi was saved, end of story. PRESENTS NOW!" Shuichi and Ryuichi ran towards the tree and started giving the gifts to their proper owners. Each person received about two or three gifts, except for Ryuichi and Shuichi, who each had their own separate piles. They both started ripping off the paper, competing to see who could finish first.
Shuichi's last gift was from Ayaka, and he tore the paper off and opened the box to reveal a black sweatshirt with a flaming microphone on it. "CLOTHES!" He grabbed the sweatshirt and put it on. As he was unfolding it, a small black box fell out of it. Shuichi curiously picked the box up and opened it to reveal a diamond ring. He recognized it as the one he had helped Hiro pick out for Ayaka not too long ago. "HIRO! I FOUND THE ENGAGEMENT RING YOU'RE GOING TO SURPRISE HER WITH TOMORROW! YOU BETTER COME GET IT BEFORE SHE FINDS OUT!" The room went quiet and all eyes turned to Hiroshi, who was still trying to get away from Mika. He looked up, eyes widening as he suddenly realized what was just said.
"SHUICHI, YOU IDIOT!" Hiro ran over to his drunk friend and took the ring from his hand.
"It's ok, Hiro," Shuichi whispered. "I made sure no one heard about the ring! Your secret is still safe!" Hiro punched him in the head and turned around to find that everyone was staring at him, and he started to blush.
"Uh...hi." Ayaka pushed her way through the crowd and walked up to Hiro. "Uh..he, yeah...it was supposed to be a surprise, I was going to wait until tomorrow morning, but..." Hiro got down on one knee and revealed the ring to Ayaka. She gasped and covered her mouth with one hand.
"I love you, Ayaka, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" Ayaka was beginning to cry, and continued to gaze at the ring in Hiro's hands.
She lowered her hand and whispered just enough for him to hear, "yes." Hiro laughed in relief and slid the ring onto Ayaka's finger. He then stood up and pulled her into a hug, and everyone started clapping. They stood at arms-length from each other and both smiled.
"Oh come on! Give her a kiss, Hiro!" Shuichi appeared behind his friend, and Tohma behind Ayaka. At the same instant, the two pushed the couple forward, causing them to hit heads.
"SHUICHI, YOU IDIOT!" Hiro turned around and punched Shuichi again, then faced Ayaka again and pulled her into a long, deep kiss. The room once again erupted into applause and Shuichi began to cry on Tohma's shoulder, Tohma also in tears.
"Wah! I love happy endings!"
"Me too!"
Two hours later...
At about midnight, everyone started to leave. Mika had to drag Tohma to the car because he had passed out, and Tatsuha was going home with Ryuichi. Shuichi was way too drunk, so he had to get a ride from Hiro.
"Hiro...you look like a girl, get a haircut! Ha ha! Wait, so do I! I have pink hair! Ha! We're cross-hairstylers! Get it? Instead of cross-dressers? Hey look! It's Yuki's house! Yuki!" Hiro, ignoring everything that was coming from Shuichi's mouth, helped him out of the car. Shuichi couldn't stand so he ended up having to carry him into his house and ay him down on the couch.
"Yuki! Darling, I'm home! I need a hug! Come hug me!"
"You're going to have a killer hangover tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed tonight because you're going to regret it tomorrow."
"Yuki! You waited up for me! I love you! Hug, hug, hug." Shuichi grabbed the pillow next to him, and began squeezing it, believing that it was his Yuki. "Look, Hiro! Yuki loves-," he then passed out, arm hanging off the side of the couch, mouth wide open and snoring.
"Oh man." Hiro picked Shuichi up off the couch and carried him to Yuki's bed and covered him up. He almost walked out of the house, but ran back to put a trash can on the side of the bed, and some aspirin on the bedside table.
"I'm sorry you have to be alone tomorrow, Shuichi." He then walked out of the house, locking the door behind him, to meet his future wife in the car.
Shuichi awoke early the next day with a pounding headache. He took the medicine he found laying next to him, figuring Hiro had left it there for him. He sat there, trying to think of what could have woken him up so early, but he didn't get very far because he had a pounding headache. He laid back down and tried to go back to sleep, but he was fully awake now, so he decided to get something to drink.
He walked to the kitchen and remembered it was Christmas morning, and got excited at the thought of spending the whole day with Yuki. No writing, no rehearsals, just him and Yuki all alone. But then he remembered Yuki had left for Nagasaki days ago, and that he would be all alone. After all, Tatsuha was at Ryuichi's and everyone else he knew had their own loved ones to spend the day with.
Shuichi prepared himself a cup of tea and went to the living room to watch some tv. As he headed toward the couch, he saw a man lying asleep in the dark. A closer look told him it was Yuki, and Shuichi was about to run and jump on him, when he heard a whimper from across the room.
Oh no! It's a mouse! I hate mice! Then he heard it again. It didn't sound like a mouse, or any rodent for that matter, but more like-
"A PUPPY!" Next to the Christmas tree, lying on the floor fast asleep, was a small blond puppy with brown ears and brown feet, and it had a big red bow around its neck. Shuichi squealed and ran to the tiny animal and started scratching its ears.
Yuki, who had woken up from Shuichi's squeals, sat up to find the young vocalist hugging the puppy, laughing like a small child while the dog licked his face.
"Yuki! You're back early! I thought you weren't getting back until late tonight? And you brought home a puppy!"
"I see you like her then? Good, she's yours."
"REALLY! All mine? Wow, thank you so much, Yuki! I've always wanted my own pet! I'm so happy!" Shuichi hugged his new puppy even tighter, causing her to whimper a little and try to wiggle free. "So she's a girl?"
"Yup." Yuki smiled at the sight of Shuichi so happy(oh my god he smiled! It was probably all squeaky too!).
"Chiori! Yeah, I like that name. What do you think, Yuki?"
"Name her whatever you want. Just make sure she doesn't piss all over the carpet, or chew anything up. I'm not doing anything, the responsibility is all yours, got it? One mistake and that mutt's going back to the pound."
"What! No! I'll watch over her! I promise! Oh, Chiori, your so cute! Her eyes are green, just like a cats! Thank you so much, Yuki!" Shuichi ran over to Yuki and hugged him tight, taking the novelists breath away.
"God dammit, Shuichi! Not so tight!" Yuki pried Shuichi from around his waist, only to have him reattach himself to his neck.
"Yuki, I missed you so much! I'm so glad you could come back for Christmas! Did Mizuki have to cancel or something?"
"No, actually I canceled on her."
"Really! You canceled just so you could spend Christmas with me, didn't you! Love triumphs over all!"
"Maybe I should've just stayed in Nagasaki," Yuki said while rubbing his eyes.
"But that is why you canceled, right? It's because you love me and wanted to spend Christmas with me! Right?"
"Hell no. why would I want to spend time with a sniveling little worm like you?"
"YUKI, YOU'RE SO EVIL! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO COLD ALL THE TIME!"
"YOU KNOW, I WAS OUT ALL NIGHT LOOKING FOR THAT STUPID MUTT, SO CAN YOU AT LEAST NOT YELL!"
"OH, POOR YUKI! YOU HAD TO STAY OUT ALL NIGHT? WELL I'VE BEEN WORKING ON YOUR PRESENT FOR WEEKS!"
"WHAT PRESENT? YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME SHIT!" Yuki grabbed something off the table and threw it at Shuichi, barely missing his face.
"YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT IT IS! I'M NOT TELLING SO YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE THE SUSPENSE!" Shuichi counter attacked by picking up the coaster Yuki had thrown at him and threw it back. To add to the noise, Chiori started barking at her new masters.
"WHY DON'T YOU JUST CRAWL AWAY AND DIE SOMEWHERE!"
"WITH THE WAY YOU TREAT ME, MAYBE I SHOULD!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR THEN! YOU STILL LOOK ALIVE TO ME!"
"WHAT THE HELL MAKES YOU THINK I'D KILL MYSELF JUST BECAUSE YOU SAID TO!"
Buzz!
The two stopped arguing and throwing the coaster back and fourth at each other at the sound of the door bell ringing. Chiori ran to the door, barking, tripping over the bow that was tied around her neck. Yuki went to answer the door, and Shuichi picked up Chiori and followed him.
"Hello, I'm sorry to bother you, but we got a call that there was a disturbance. Is everything ok in there?"
"Yes, officer, we were just having a little argument is all. We'll try to keep it down," Shuichi said.
"Ok, sorry for the inconvenience. Merry Christmas." The officer returned to his car, and Yuki and Shuich retreated back into the house.
"Do you want some coffee, Yuki?"
"Yeah." Yuki sat on the couch and lit a cigarette while Shuichi went into the kitchen to get their drinks. Chiori was whining to get on to the couch, so Yuki picked her up and placed her on his lap. She rolled onto her back, trying to get Yuki to scratch her belly for her.
Shuichi returned with two coffee mugs, and handed one to Yuki. He sat down on the couch and snuggled under one of Yuki's arms, and began absentmindedly rubbing Chiori's stomach, which she greatly enjoyed.
"Oh! It's time for your present now!" Shuichi got up and turned on the radio. A few seconds later, his voice filled the room and said, "This song is dedicated to someone very special to me. I love you, and I hope you enjoy it!" The Shuichi on the radio started singing a new song, and Yuki knew that he was the special someone Shuichi was talking about.
After the song was finished, Yuki decided it was time for his second present to Shuichi
"You should probably take that ribbon from around her neck, I think I might've tied it too tight last night." Shuichi immediately began untying the red bow, freeing Chiori from the annoying itch it was giving her.
"Huh? What's this?" Just visible under the puppy's fur, was what looked like a golden chain around her neck. Shuichi carefully unfastened the chain and held it up. Hanging from the end of the chain, was a solid gold ring. Shuichi turned to Yuki wide-eyed, mouth hanging open.
"Is this-does this mean-are you-?" Shuichi was having a hard time talking in sentences.
"Yes, I think I've made you wait for this long enough." Yuki didn't even have to say those four delicate words for Shuichi to know what he meant. Yuki took the ring from Shuichi's trembling hands and slipped it on his finger. "Will you marry me, Shuichi?"
Shuichi was so shocked, he couldn't give Yuki an answer. Instead, he burst into tears of joy and nodded his head, furiously crying on Yuki's shoulder.
Yuki started laughing and hugged Shuichi, stroking his hair with one hand.
"I love you, Shuichi." This made Shuichi cry even harder. He was still too shocked to reply, but I think Yuki understood.
Finished! Its finally finished! This story took 60 whole pages from my notebook! 60 pages! Well if you want to get technical it was only 30, but 60 if you count front and back as 1 pages each. I love making people drunk you can make them act completely different, and there's nothing anyone can say because they're drunk so they're gonna be crazy! The part when Tohma rubbed Mika's butt, I so wanted to type "he pulled a Miroku" but I didn't know if everybody has seen Inuyasha or not. Oh and Chiori is a name I made up. It's kinda a mix between Chihiro and Shiori I think.
Shuichi-I'm getting married! I'm so happy! hugs mustang123 thank you!
me-just doing my duty hey, maybe you and hiro can have a double wedding!
hiro- don't say that!
Me-sorry ' ok, I'm off to kick my sister's butt at inuyasha, feudal combat, so please give me really long reviews on how you liked the story. Oh and I'll let you guys pick what my next fanfic will be about. Any anime, and almost any subject. Oh and I'll probably re write this story too to make it more detailed and better then before, so keep an eye out for revisions
