A/N: I know you guys all hate Tohma, but he's in this chapter too so, ha ha! Actually, he's pretty important in this chapter.

Chapter 11

It had been a week now, a whole week! Every day Tohma saw Yuki drive up to N-G Productions and wait. Of course the president did not just sit and watch him, but every morning he was there, and every evening as the blond cleaned up his office, he could look out his window and see Yuki drive home, looking depressed. It was beginning to greatly concern Tohma and Mika both, who were still trying to convince Shuichi not to go back to work yet. However, after ten days of this, Tohma could take no more. He glanced out the window to see Yuki still sitting there.

"Damnit!" he said angrily, unfortunately right in the middle of a meeting. A flush of color spread over his face before his business smile slowly returned and he finished the meeting. The moment it was over, the blond walked down into the parking lot.

Yuki Eiri was sitting in his car silently, with his laptop propped up so he could work. Every few seconds he'd look up, hoping to catch a glimpse of his little lover entering or leaving the building. He sighed again when suddenly he heard a tap on the window and looked up. There stood Tohma, looking concerned. Yuki glared.

"Eiri..."

"Go to hell," the author said as he continued to type.

"Eiri.. Come have lunch with me, my treat."

"Why would I want to do that?"

"So that you actually eat something instead of sitting here all day of course," Tohma said, knowing full well that Eiri couldn't ignore him forever, and sure enough he was right. After he climbed into the car, the author couldn't ignore him any longer.

"Fine!" he said, "But you won't get rid of me!"

"That's fine, let's go, I'm hungry."

Yuki blinked. Was it just lunch or did Tohma have something devious planned. He drove to a café he knew where they could grab a bite to eat. He was tense, with good reason of course. Right now there was no one he hated more in the world than Tohma Seguchi. Slowly he got out with the older blond and walked into the café.

"Seguchi," he said sharply, "What are you trying to accomplish here."

Tohma blinked and looked at his brother-in-law quite innocently.

"I'm just trying to make sure you eat something today," he said, "You've skipped lunch every day for the past week and a half."

Yuki flushed mostly out of annoyance at Tohma's comment. He wasn't happy. How had he been talked into doing this?!

Oh yes, the author recalled with even more annoyance, He climbed into my car and insisted that we go.

Tohma paid for a good meal and he was greatly surprised when the younger blond ate without further question or comment.

"Well.. I need to get back," Tohma said, his business smile now back in place. He pushed a scrap of paper towards Yuki, his smile growing a little bit. Yuki looked confused but took it anyway as Tohma left to go back to N-G Productions. He didn't look at it, but slipped it into his pocket. He didn't have time for Tohma's stupid little games, he had a meeting with his editor soon that he had to get to, even though he didn't want to. The thought that kept going through his mind was: 'What if Shuichi shows up right when I leave.' However he did have to talke to his editor, therefore, Yuki finished his meal and went back to his car to drive to his meeting

The editor peered at the blond author curiously. She then looked back down at the stack of papers he had given her as his book. Yuki nodded a slight grimace on her features.

"Well," she started, a bit hesitantly, "It's an excellent start, but... it doesn't seem to be the same quality you usually write Yuki-san."

"I know," Yuki replied, pinching the bridge of his nose lightly, "I've been rather distracted."

"Well, I really need you to fix this for me Yuki-san."

"I'll fix it when that bastard stops hiding my lover from me!" Yuki yelled, leaving the young woman stunned and just a little bit frightened. Yuki Eiri had always been so calm, even if she told him how she needed so much changed, she'd never seen him liked this before.

"I'm sorry," Yuki said in a softer tone, "I'll fix it, but I need to go home."

She nodded and the blond stood up to leave. He drove home as he always did and poured himself a strong drink, which was becoming quite a habit. It was then that he recalled the scrap of paper in his pocket and decided to pull it out. On it was written: an address, a number and the words : Be happy.

What kind of nonsense is this? Yuki wondered. Was Tohma hitting on him?!!... Wait until he told Mika.

No wait... this is an apartment building not a hotel... Yuki thought and realization suddenly hit hard. He left his drink where it had been sitting and scrambled out the door in a rush.
