Everyone was sitting in Tohma's office without saying a word to each other. Ryuichi and Fujisaki would sometimes look at each other and smile, but would then look away. Tohma on the other hand was trying to decide what to say, so he kept looking at Eiri to see if he knew, but Eiri was reading the newspaper. Shuichi just sat there with both his legs and arms crossed. It was an eerie silence until…
"Isn't anyone going to say anything? I mean come on," said Shuichi.
"I think everything was already said Mr. Shindo," said Fujisaki firmly.
"Suguru, I…I'm just…I'm just worried about you. That's all," said Tohma.
"Well I'm sorry cousin, but I don't need you to protect me. You've taught me everything I know so don't worry. I can take care of myself," said Fujisaki with a little bit of a smile.
"It's in his nature for him to worry about the people he loves and to want what's best for them. Even if it isn't what they want," came Eiri's voice from behind the paper. Everyone knew that he was talking about him and Shuichi when he said that.
"Oh Yuki," said Shuichi smiling. Shuichi then got up and crept over to where Eiri was sitting. He then kneeled down and pushed his upper body up from under the paper. No one could see what was happening behind the paper since Eiri kept his arms still, but they all had their guesses.
"Mr. Bear thinks Tohma is wrong to worry about us," came Ryuichi's voice. Everyone turned to see him holding up his rabbit. Even Eiri brought down his paper so he and Shuichi, who was now sitting in his lap, could see.
"Ryuichi?" said Tohma softly.
"He says that if Eiri and Shuichi can do it, so can we. You'll see Tohma, we can do it," said Ryuichi with a big smile that made everyone else smile.
Before anyone could say anything, Noriko barged in. "Sorry I'm late, traffic was terrible. So what did I miss?"
Everyone just stared at her, then at Tohma. Tohma got the hint and said, "Nothing. Everything has been settled. We should all be getting to work," said Tohma with a smile as he looked at Ryuichi and Fujisaki.
Shuichi smiled at Eiri and then put his head on Eiri's chest. Eiri then wrapped his arms around him and said I'll see you at home. He then kissed Shuichi's head and got up. Shuichi fell back into the seat with a smile. Ryuichi and Fujisaki both got up and walked out as they smiled to one another and Ryuichi wrapped his arms around Fujisaki.
Noriko was just in shock. "I know I missed something."
"It doesn't matter now. Everything should be alright," said Tohma still smiling.
"If you say so," said Noriko with a hint of skepticism.
