Chapter Two - Switching Responsibilities
Yuki woke at 7:00AM when the alarm rang. He groaned, remembering that he would have to go to NG… and sing. He sighed, and turned over, realising that the other side of the bed was untouched. He felt hurt. He felt tears prickling behind his eyelids, but refused to let them fall.
Instead, he got up and found the most outrageous clothes he owned. He then bounced his way into the kitchen. Tohma turned from where he was making pancakes, smiling. Yuki blinked, momentarily blinded by the hideousness of Tohma's pink apron, before smiling and glomping him. "OHAYOU!"
Tohma, having prepared himself for a day of disturbing occurrences, simply smiled, greeting him in return. Shuichi shuffled into the kitchen, his hair a mess and his clothes rumpled. He went straight to the refrigerator, grabbing a beer.
Yuki smiled hugely. "Ohayou, Shuichi!" Shuichi looked at him blankly for a second, before scratching his head, yawning. "Whatever."
Breakfast was eaten in silence, each thinking about the challenge. After breakfast, it was time for Tohma and Yuki to go to NG. There was a knock on the door, and Tohma opened it to reveal Mika. He quickly explained that Mika would make sure that Shuichi would stay in character while they were at NG.
Mika smirked. "Looks like you're stuck with me, brother."
Shuichi glared at her, lighting up a cigarette. "Whatever, just don't piss me off."
Mika stared at him, dumbstruck. Until now, she hadn't believed Shuichi would be able to act like her brother, but she definitely believed now.
Tohma looked at his watch. "Time to go, Eiri."
Yuki bounced over to Shuichi, kissed his cheek, quickly bit his ear, and ran out of the apartment. "BYE SHU-CHAN!"
Shuichi sighed around his cigarette. "Whatever." he muttered, shutting himself in the study once more.
Mika stared after him, still surprised, as Tohma giggled.
----
Nakano Hiroshi and Fujisaki Suguru were sat in Bad Luck's rehearsal room, laughing about the challenge. Suddenly, Yuki bounced into the room.
"La li ho!" he squealed.
The other two stared at him. Fujisaki quickly turned to Hiro. "Did… did he just squeal?"
Hiro was still gaping at Yuki. "I… I think he did. God, this is even more disturbing than I thought."
Yuki pouted at him. "Hirooooo! You're such a meanie!"
Hiro sat there, looking like someone had just hit him in the face with a sock full of bricks. Suddenly, he started to laugh.
K barged into the rehearsal room, gun in hand. He paused to smirk at Yuki for a second, before going into commando mode. "Enough of this bullshit… GET TO WORK!"
Yuki flounced over to the microphone, pulling it off of the stand and bouncing around the room.
They eventually got to work rehearsing, beginning with 'Spicy Marmalade'.
Yuki mentally groaned, vowing to murder Tohma once this was over, and once he'd stocked up on cigarettes and cheesecake.
Although he'd never admit it, he knew all of Shuichi's songs, and he'd watched him perform them numerous times.
He took a deep breath, said a quick prayer, opened his mouth, and:
'Spicy Marmalade jidai wa marude
Ui himeta kao de madowaseru'
Hiro and Fujisaki were pleasantly surprised. Yuki actually sounded pretty good. It was actually quite creepy how he knew all of Shuichi's moves.
'Nani furueteru kairaku shugisha ga warau
Sameta REERU no ue kizu kazu ni shiku mareta mirai
Kibasa ga jama suru jounetsu ga douka shiteru
Kanari akumu janai? taikutsu ga shouwa shiteru'
K and Sakano were sat, looking horrified, as Yuki swayed his hips exactly like Shuichi did. It was one thing to see Shuichi doing it, but to see Yuki doing it was a whole different story.
'Spicy Marmalade hajiketa mama de
Kon yori no CHANSU o tsukame
Vanish into the night jidai wa maru de
Ui himeta kao de madowaseru
Aoi tsuki no SUTEGI naki dashite hiru ga sakebu
Amai BIN no naka jya chimeiteki jijitsu wa antigay'
Hiro watched warily as Yuki made his way towards him, grinning like a Cheshire cat. He stopped behind Hiro, put his arm around his waist, and rubbed against him. Hiro was crimson. He didn't mind whenever Shuichi did something like that. Partly because he was his best friend, and partly because he still secretly had a thing for him. But it seemed so… wrong for Yuki to do it.
'Ikazura ni hoshi gari hayari o jibun ni hameru
Kanari mondai janai? kyoe ni sae kizukenai
Spicy Marmalade jibun no mama de
Sabita kusari nara hazuse
Vanish into the night mitsumeta mama de
Kon yori mo yubisaki de maboroshi ni'
Tohma, having walked in just as the song began, was having trouble breathing because he was laughing so hard. He couldn't believe that Eiri was actually going through with all of this.
'Spicy Marmalade hajikete mama de
Kon yori no CHANSU o tsukame
Vanish into the night kiwadatsu Marmalade
Kakugo kimeta naraba isso
Spicy Marmalade jibun no mama de
Sabita kusari nara hazuse
Vanish into the night jidai wa maru de
Ui himeta kao de madowaseru'
The song came to an end, and Yuki let a hyper grin take over his face. "Cooool! That was awesome!" He chirped, clapping his hands.
Tohma smiled, looking extremely devious. "Very good. It seems everything is going well. That is fortunate, since I have just booked a mini-concert for you. It will be in four days. You had better get practicing."
With another, more evil, smile, he left.
Yuki stared at the door he had left through, horrified. Quickly remembering his character, he bounced around ecstatically. "YAAAAAAAAY! Concert, concert, concert!" he yelled, clapping his hands.
Hiro twitched, shook his head, and walked out. "I need a smoke."
----
Shuichi's fingers flew across the keyboard as more words filled the screen. The novel he was writing seemed to flow from his brain so easily. At this rate, he would probably have it finished before the challenge was over.
The door to the study opened, and Tatsuha walked in, followed by Mika. The pervert grinned. "What's up, Shuichi?"
Shuichi turned his head, and glared full force. Mika and Tatsuha backed away slightly, fighting the urge to cower. He turned to face them fully, crossing his arms over his chest. "What the hell do you want?"
Tatsuha scowled. "That's nice. What a way to talk to your brother."
Shuichi sighed, reaching for the pack of cigarettes on the desk. "Whatever. Now what do you want?"
Mika huffed. "We want you to come out and do something other than work! You've been in there for hours, and you haven't eaten anything."
Purple eyes narrowed. "I had breakfast. I'm not hungry"
Mika's own eyes narrowed dangerously. "Get out here NOW… or I'll force feed you celery."
Shuichi sighed, still playing his part. He knew he couldn't do a thing to get out of it, not now that Mika had brought that up.
"Fine." he muttered, standing and stretching.
Mika, looking infuriatingly smug, grabbed his arm and pulled him to the kitchen. As Mika made lunch, Tatsuha sat next to Shuichi, set on annoying him as much as possible.
"Soooo, Shuichi… get me a date with Ryuichi? Please?"
Shuichi glared at him. "Why don't you ask that damn brat instead of asking me?"
Tatsuha blinked. He blinked again. And again.
Mika interrupted the impending brat fit with lunch. They ate in silence, and when he had finished, Shuichi went into the bedroom.
----
Yuki, much to his annoyance, bounced into the apartment with a squeal. "SHUICHIIII! I'M HOOOOOOME!"
Tohma, who was just behind him, covered his ears with a scowl. They heard a yell from the bedroom.
"SHUT THE HELL UP, BRAT!"
Yuki let out another squeal, crashing into the bedroom. Shuichi was lying on the bed, one arm over his face. Yuki giggled, and threw himself onto Shuichi. Shuichi let out a grunt as Yuki's weight crashed down onto him, and opened his mouth to yell at him.
Tohma poked his head through the door. "Now, Shuichi… no yelling at your lover." he said, amused. "It wouldn't be nice." With another evil giggle, he disappeared.
Yuki pouted after him, turning back to Shuichi. His eyes widened when he saw the devious smirk on his lover's face. Faster than he could blink, he was on his back with Shuichi on top of him, still smirking.
"Just relax. You'll enjoy it… eventually."
Yuki stared at him. 'Oh no… no way. SHIT!'
----
Tohma, Mika, and Tatsuha stared at the bedroom door, bewildered. They had heard a thump, a squeak, and Yuki screaming.
"Please, no! Don't do it!"
"I said relax, damn it! You'll be sore in the morning, but I'll make it worth your while."
They heard another squeak, and decided not to think about it.
Rin-chan: How disturbing is the image of Yuki acting like Shuichi?
Kei-chan: We think it's pretty damn disturbing, and we're the ones who wrote it!
Rin-chan: Thanks for reading, and please review!
