Well, here's the last chapter. I love everybody who's stuck around and read all this- specially Sakuma Sonnet and Lamenting Fox (you both deserve cookies and hugs! -hands out cookies and hugs-) - and I thank all the reviewers! Thank you!

theme # 44- squee

Suguru grinned insanely as he bounded in the room- dropping all his folders from work onto the dresser first of course- and grabbed the book of his nightstand. Hiro followed in at a more sedate pace and raised an eyebrow when he saw his boyfriend on their bed, reading a book. A mere book had caused that squealing, bouncing reaction?

Hiro shook his had and walked back out, deciding to make himself busy lest Suguru bit his head off.

An hour later, while making dinner, he heard a loud "Squee!" and, curiosity caught, he walked into his bedroom…

…only to meet with the sight of Suguru still buried in the book, eyes wide with delight.

"You okay?"

Suguru lifted his head to glare for a second before his gaze went back to the book and he held up one finger. Hiro leaned against the doorway and then watched as Suguru flipped a page- the last one it seemed- and continue to read.

Then, "WHAT!" Hiro jumped and watched, bemused. Suguru flipped several pages and then flipped back to the last page, eyes moving frantically.

"That…that…that…" Suguru sputtered.

"You okay?" Hiro tried again.

Suguru threw the book lightly and it landed on the floor. He then threw up his hands and fell back on the bed. "I spend hours and hours reading that book and then that ending sucked!"

Hiro laughed slightly which cause Suguru to glare at him. "And in some parts it was really good and then-!" He made several vague gestures with his hands.

Hiro shook his head. "It's just a book." Suguru looked at him, and then sighed, the anger towards the book fading.

"Yeah. I guess you're right."

Hiro nodded and then after a moment's pause asked, "You want to come back to reality and have dinner with me? It's your favorite."

Suguru blankly stared at the ceiling for a moment before sighing. "Yeah." He stood, stretched like a cat and then started towards the door. Hiro threw an arm around the thin shoulders as they walked in the kitchen.

"You wanna tell me what was so wrong with the ending?"

Suguru was immediately launched into a spiel, gesturing with his hands, and Hiro gripped the shoulder lightly and smiled.
