Chapter 5

Saturday mornings. Ahh... one of the best days of the week, at least for most. They were always such a wonderful reprieve from the work week. It was especially good to a certain blond author who was able to sleep in that morning, as he tried to regain some of the sleep he had lost during his three day writing period. However, for the pink-haired vocalist who lived with him, this Saturday was just as stressful as any other day of the week. He had to rush out of the house early so he'd be to work on time. He only had time to give his lover a small peck on the cheek before he dashed out.

Fortunately, thanks to Yuki's gentle prodding (telling him that his lyrics were crap and he should write them again.), Shuichi had managed to finish his song. He ran all the way to work, the threat of his blond boss looming in his mind.

Shuichi burst into the recording room and set his things down. To say that Sakano, K, Hiro, or Suguru were surprised to see Shuichi on time for work was a bit of understatement.

"Sh..Shindou-kun..." Sakano stated, looking shocked.

"Oi... Shuichi, did Yuki kick you out?" Hiro asked, gaining a slightly mocking laugh from Suguru.

"No! He didn't kick me out!" Shuichi said, looking indignant, "He was sleeping."

"Oh, so why are you actually on time?" Hiro asked, looking a bit amused at his friend.

"Shut up, let's get to work," Shuichi said, his sour mood immediately went to hyper, "We have a recording to do don't we? Why else are we actually coming to work on a damn Saturday?"

The group blinked. Suguru was the first to speak. He crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well if our lead singer actually wrote the song we could..." Shuichi slapped papers down onto the table.

"Ha!" he said, "I finished it!"

Once again the group blinked in surprise.

"Come on let's get it done before the weekend's gone!" Shuichi whined. Hiro chuckled, so that's why their lead singer was so eager. He just wanted to get home to Yuki, which was understandable. The red-haired man thought for a moment. It had been a while since Shuichi had come to his door asking for a place to stay while Yuki cooled down. That was surprising. He'd think that the author would be kicking Shuichi out for the next month or so, what with the release of his newest book coming up soon. He shrugged it off though as he shouldered his guitar.

"Ok then, let's go," he said, striking a chord. Even Suguru smiled. For once, maybe just once, he wouldn't be stuck there for 10 hours because their idiot vocalist was all moody.

As it turned out Suguru couldn't have imagined in his worse case scenario that they'd be stuck there until 10 PM. He had actually hoped they might get home soon. But he suppose he should have anticipated things would go badly when it took Hiro and Shuichi almost 2 hours just to come up with a good melody for the song.

Shuichi sleepily walked home and came in through the door. He walked into the living room to see Yuki there reading a book with a glass of wine sitting on the table next to him. Shuichi came over and sat next to him. Yuki just glanced down at him.

"You're late," he said, "Supper's in the fridge for you."

"Umm.."

"Hmm?"

"Can I have a sip of that?"

"You're not old enough."

"Just a sip," Shuichi looked up at him with pleading eyes. Yuki glanced at him before sighing in defeat and handing him the glass. Shuichi took a sip, then licked his lips.

"That's good!" he said, taking a big gulp.

"You idiot! Not that much, you're going to end up getting drunk or something!"

Shuichi handed Yuki an empty glass. The author blinked in surprise.

"You're not supposed to drink it that fast!" he snapped

"Can I have some more?" the singer asked.

"You're going to get drunk if I give you any more!"

"Please?"

"DAMNIT NO!"

Shuichi pouted and whine for a few a minutes, but it was all in vain, since his lover had made up his mind. Yuki leaned back, and felt Shuichi get up. He ignored the boy and continued to read his book, though he was fairly bored with it. He heard the microwave beep after five minutes and then heard a thud on his kitchen floor.

"What the hell?" the blond said, getting up to see what was going on. There sat Shuichi on the floor giggling like an idiot with an empty liquor bottle in his hand.

"You idiot! You've gotten yourself drunk!"Yuki yelled as he pulled the pink-haired boy up.

Shuichi giggled, putting a finger to his lips.

"You talk too much.." he said, his words severely slurred.

"I... I wha...mmph.." Yuki had been cut off as Shuichi leaned up and placed a bruising kiss to his lips. He could feel Shuichi trying to dominate him; like that would ever happen. The blond grabbed the smaller male pushing him hard against the wall and though Shuichi could put up a good fight, he was no match for the blond author who smirked slightly as he felt his lover grow weak in the knees and eventually collapse. Of course Yuki gently caught the singer in his arms though. Shuichi smiled and curled up against his love.

"I want to buy a pony," the boy said, his words still slurred. Yuki rolled his eyes and carried him to bed.
