DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GRAVITATION...kthnx

A/N: Chapter 3 was quicker than I thought it'd be...I already have plans for chapter 4, you can expect that by Tuesday at the latest. Yes I am writing a lot, BUT I'm on a roll, so I'm going to take advantage of it before writer's block sets in. Death Note has been put on a hold. I hope to have this story done in a few weeks before moving onto the next. It'll be easier for me to concertrate on plots. Thanx for reading, now enjoy chapter 3!

Chapter 3

"You know," Shuichi said, setting down the coffee mug he'd just taken a sip from, "This place has the best coffee around here."

Hiro nodded in agreement as he finished off his cup. "Agreed." He said, wiping the corners of his mouth. He looked across the table at Shuichi, then down at the half empty glass that sat between them, then back up to Shuichi's face. He frowned.

"What?" Shuichi picked up his cup and looked around the table trying to find what Hiro was frowning at.

"How much sleep have you been getting lately?" Hiro raised an eyebrow and looked at the dark circles that embedded themselves under Shuichi's eyes.

"Oh, don't worry about me!" Shuichi smiled at his concerned friend, but Hiro continued to frown. Shuichi sighed, "Something's been going on between Tatsuha and Yuki…" He admitted.

"Something?" Hiro took a sip of the fresh cup of coffee the waitress had just poured for him, "What exactly?"

"I'm not sure." Shuichi shrugged, "For the past few days, Tatsuha hasn't been able to keep his hands off me. And Yuki refuses to leave me alone for more than two hours." He lowered his voice, "And he's been smiling…"

"These times that he's smiling," Hiro smirked, "What are you doing?"

"Well, the first time I had him eat a cookie." Shuichi shrugged, remembering how Yuki and Tatsuha had eaten a whole batch of burnt, chocolate chip cookies all by themselves in almost a minute.

"A cookie?" Hiro gave him a confused look, "Were you nude or something when you gave him this 'cookie'?"

"No!" Shuichi shook his head violently. He finished off his cup of coffee and set his cup down so the waitress could refill it.

"Hm…" Hiro thought for a moment, "Was it drugged?"

Shuichi slammed his hands down on the table and stood up, all in one swift movement. "Why the hell would I drug a cookie that I was planning on giving to my Yuki!" He glared at Hiro.

Hiro didn't seem phased by Shuichi's sudden anger and just smirked, "Oh, that's right…You don't need to drug him to get in bed with him." Shuichi's face turned bright red and he slowly slid back down into the booth. "Ok, ok." Hiro held his hand up to try and calm Shuichi down, "What else has been going on?"

Shuichi went into deep thought, "Well…"

(Insert flashback swirly)

-----------------FEW HOURS AFTER COOKIE INCIDENT------------------------------------

"I'm tired." Shuichi yawned and stretched out his arms. He glanced over at the clock which only said 11:07. He sat up from resting his head on Yuki's lap. "I think I'm going to bed, I have to be at the recording studio early tomorrow." He gave Yuki a hug a peck on the lips before standing up and walking to their room.

Yuki waited for Shuichi to completely leave the room before turning to Tatsuha to raise his eyebrows, as if saying: 'Haha, I got a kiss…what'd you get? Nothing!'

-----------------------BACK AT DINER--------------------------

"And the next thing I know, Tatsuha bursts into mine and Yuki's bedroom like he's K or something and starts babbling about tucking me in and good night kisses!" Shuichi laid his head down. "But it wasn't as bad as the next day…"

(Insert another flashback swirly)

--------------------------BREAKFAST BEFORE GOING TO NGR-------------------------

"There's pancakes, French toast, an omlette, and…" Tatsuha's voice seemed to drift off as he named every type of food set across the table. Shuichi stood at the entryway into the kitchen/dining room still half asleep. He hadn't spent anytime getting ready, because Tatsuha had basically carried him out of bed, so his hair was sticking up in odd places, his mouth still had a fuzzy taste to it, and all he had on was one of Yuki's older, white, button down shirts that he'd grown accustom to sleeping in.

He glanced all around the table as his vision began to clear up and he could see what exactly was in front of him. He noticed 2 small white circles at each end of the table; assuming they were plates he sat down in front of one, "Why are there only two plates?"

"One for me and one for you." Tatsuha said, giving Shuichi a tight hug before sitting down across from him.

"What about Yuki?" Shuichi looked up.

"Yuki doesn't usually eat breakfast" Tatsuha shrugged it off as if it were nothing and dumped a pile of scrambled eggs on his plate.

"But when I-"

"Whose known Yuki longer!" Tatsuha looked across the table at Shuichi. Even if he was a few years younger, Shuichi felt an instant fear towards Tatsuha in that moment.

"You have…" Shuichi said quietly

"Exactly." Tatsuha nodded to Shuichi's answer, "Which means I should know him better. And he doesn't eat breakfast very often!" He threatened one more time to get his point across.

---------------------------------AT THE DINER-------------------------

Hiro burst out laughing, "So the little, 16-year-old monk had you almost in tears out of fear?"

"No!" Shuichi frowned, "He was terrifying that morning, but it didn't get really weird until Yuki came in…"

--------------------------------AT BREAKFAST WITH TATSUHA-----------------------

"Hm…you made breakfast for us, Tatsuha? How kind." Yuki came in to the kitchen. Unlike Shuichi, he'd already had a shower and was dressed in his usual business suit.

"No, I made breakfast for me and Shuichi." Tatsuha answered him stiffly, "See," he pointed to each plate, "One…Two…Two plates, not three."

"Oh, well…That French toast sure looks good," Yuki said while he'd poured himself a cup of coffee, "I'm sure me and Shuichi could just share a plate and seat." He turned around smiling at the two, "Sound like a plan, Shu?"

Shuichi was still too tired to realize completely what was going on, so he just nodded. The next thing he knew he was sitting on Yuki's lap like a three year old; while Tatsuha sat across the table glaring at Yuki in pure hatred, forcing scrambled eggs down his throat. A few minutes later he slid off Yuki's lap and decided he should probably get ready. It was still too early though for the sound of breaking dishes and clanging forks to really sink in though once he left the room.

------------------------------AT THE DINER-----------------------

"I see why you wanted to have breakfast with me this morning." Hiro nodded, and looked at his watch. "We should probably get going though. You can tell me more on our lunch break."

"On our way there I can tell you about Tatsuha offering to help me get ready after I got out of the shower…" Shuichi laughed and followed Hiro out of the diner so they could go to the record studio.

A/N: even though he's in like every episode, I'm still not too good with how Hiro acts...So I tried to stay as close to our lovable Hiroshi as I could...This is what happened.

Come back again for the next chapter, you can find a summary on my page if you're anxious!
