A/N: Oops, I forgot to put this on the last chapter. " (Forgive me, it's my first fan-fic.) And I sadly don't own Gravitation, if I did, the last oh, say, 3 books would have happened differently. So, yeah. Story time.

Chapter Two: No Time for Worries and Crushes

Shuichi is just so cute! He keeps blushing every time I look at him, and I can't help but to snicker.

No one's noticed except for Tohma. He aallwaaays notices first. He's got sharp eyes.

"Ryuichi, what's so funny?" He asks, looking up at me from his newspaper. "This has to be the third time in five minutes. Let me in on the joke?"

I hide behind Kumagoro, grinning slyly. "It's nothing, Tohma. The movie's funny."

"That's strange, because you aren't watching the movie," he said kindly.

Damn. I was caught. Growing serious, I sighed. "It's Shuichi. It's just amusing how's he's acting, is all."

Tohma raised an eyebrow. "I do admit; Shindou is acting odd… Would you happen to know, Ryu?"

I laugh softly. I can't lie to Tohma; he's one of my best friends. We've known each other for a long time, and he's probably one of the nicest people in the world at times. "Well, I kissed him this morning," I confided.

Tohma chuckled. "Should have known."

"I wanna win him over!" I declared happily, shooting a glance at Shuichi who was dragging Hiro off in the direction of the bathrooms. "I love that little spazz."

Tohma shook his head. "As much as I love you, Ryu, if you end up hurting Eiri in the process…I'll have to step in… as much as I'd love to have him to myself," he muttered as an afterthought. "But you do know that Shindou will try to avoid you—"

"He can't!" I declare triumphantly. "We have to work on our duet, remember Tohma!"

"Hm. I see that you've figured this all out, Ryu," Tohma said pleasantly, returning back to his paper.

I smile and turn on my iPod humming along with Bad Luck's newest song. He has such a good voice; it's fuelled by passion and love. You can tell he's singing for someone special…

I want Shuichi to sing for me. Me alone.

Shuichi frantically pulled Hiro down the aisle, bumping into several people, making the laid-back guitarist apologize in Shuichi's wake.

"Yo, Shuichi, calm down!" Hiro cried as the smaller boy tugged him along with a surprising strength.

"I can't!" the frantic boy cried. "I'll explain in a moment, um… lessee…"

Shuichi yanked Hiro rater violently into an unoccupied restroom.

"Okay, what's your malfunction, Shuichi?" Hiro asked, sitting on the sink.

"It's Sakuma-san!" The smaller boy cried, pacing back and forth.

"What, are you nervous about singing with him? You two will do a great job; everyone'll love it," Hiro assured.

"No, it's not that, but thanks for reminding me!" Shuichi cried, pulling dramatically at his hair.

"Then what is it?"

"Sakuma-san… he… I was kissed by Sakuma-san!" the vocalist for Bad Luck declared.

"Eh?" Hiro blinked.

"This morning! He woke up, an-and kissed me! On the lips!" Shuichi whined, blushing. "… Of course… it could have only been a good morning kiss! They do that in America, right?!" he reasoned with himself.

"Not on the lips man," the red-head said thoughtfully. "On the cheeks, yeah…"

"He missed then! He was aiming for my cheek, and missed because he was sleepy!" Shuichi declared, punching the air triumphantly. He then threw open the door, and pointed to Hiro. "Thanks man!" he cried, rushing out.

"Shuichi; don't worry about it anymore than this," Hiro mumbled, walking serenely behind his best friend. "We don't have time for that kind of worries."

Shuichi leaned over his seat and tapped Ryuichi on the shoulder a later that night. Everyone was asleep except for them.

"Yes, Shu-chan?" Ryu asked, pulling out his ear buds.

"We need to get to work on our duet," Shuichi said, trying to keep his excitement down to a minimum.

Ryuichi grinned slyly, and Shuichi gulped, noticing the serious glare in his idol's eyes. "We will," Ryu purred, leaning up to steal yet another kiss. "But not now!" he laughed, turning back to his childish self and shoving Kumagoro in Shuichi's blushing face.

"U-uh-uh-huh," Shuichi nodded, his eyes wide. He quickly slid back into his seat.

Tohma opened one eye. "We have no time for crushes, Ryuichi," he said softly.

Ryu only shrugged.
