Hiro walked towards the lobby trying to come up with a good way to ask out Suguru. When he finally got to the lobby, he looked around, only to find, no Suguru.
'Hmm, I wonder where he went?' Hiro thought. Sighing, Hiro turned around and walked back to Studio 3 where Shuichi was waiting.
In Kyoto
Tatsuha arrived at his house, got off the bike and walked up to the front door. Before he could unlock it, the door swung open.
"Tatsuha, there you are. Where have you been?" Mika asked, with her hands on her hips.
"I, um," Tatsuha began.
"You went to try and get Nittle Grasper tickets out of my husband again didn't you?" she said, accusingly.
"Maybe," Tatsuha answered, smiling and laughing nervously.
"Well, I'm sure you didn't get them, but can you help me with this?" Mika said.
"I'm sorry, sis, but I can't right now," Tatsuha said as he pushed through his sister and went upstairs. He went to his room and laid down on the bed, on his stomach.
"Ugh," he said, "this sucks!"
"What sucks?" a voice from the doorway asked.
Tatsuha rolled over and looked towards the door. Standing there was Tohma's cousin, Suguru.
"What are you doing here?" Tatsuha asked.
"Mika asked me to help her carry something as I was waiting in the lobby, so I agreed," he replied.
"Ah," Tatsuha said.
"Not that I really care, but would you like to tell me what's wrong?" Suguru asked.
"Everything," Tatsuha replied. "First everything was fine. I went to Shuichi's party you know?" At this point Suguru nodded his head. "Well, I just happened to find out, on my way to the bathroom, that Ryuichi liked someone. That's the real reason why I left. Then today as I was passing one of the recording rooms, I heard Nakano say he liked Ryuichi. I couldn't take it, so I came back here." Tatsuha looked at Suguru at this point and could tell the teen was upset about something.
"Suguru, is everything okay?" Tatsuha asked carefully.
A tear ran down Suguru's face. He quickly wiped it off and said, "Yes, I'm fine. I better go and help Mika." With that he quickly went down the stairs.
"Why was he upset?" Tatsuha said to himself, then he flopped back onto the bed in misery.
Back with Shuichi
"Yuki! I'm home," Shuichi said, loudly.
"Shut up brat, I'm trying to work," Yuki said in his office.
Shuichi just ignored him and went into Yuki's office. He pulled up a chair beside the desk and sat down.
"Ne, Yuki, have you ever felt like you're playing matchmaker for your friends?" Shuichi asked.
Yuki sighed, he hated it when Shuichi actually wanted to talk about something serious. "What's going on this time brat?" Yuki asked, as he stopped typing.
"Well, it's just for the past few days I've found out that two of my friends have had crushes but they're afraid to approach them and I told them to go for it, but..." Shuichi started saying.
"So you finally told Nakano to ask out Tohma's cousin, eh?" Yuki said, in a bored-like tone.
"How did you know?" Shuichi said, very surprised.
Yuki rolled his eyes, "It was obvious at your birthday party." Then he went back to typing.
"Oh...Oh! I found this at NG today," Shuichi said, running off into the living room where he put his backpack.
Yuki became nervous as to what his little lover had found because the last time he brought something home it was the cat-from-hell and Shuichi was mad at him for a week for kicking the thing out in the street.
Shuichi came skipping back in and laid Tatsuha's wallet down on the desk. "Here."
"What did you steal this?" Yuki asked lazily and taking a puff from his cigarette.
"No! I found it outside of the studio today, it's your brother's," Shuichi replied.
"Tatsuha?" Now that got Yuki's attention. He stopped typing and looked at Shuichi. "Why would that loser be at NG?"
"Nittle Grasper tickets?" Shuichi asked.
"Yeah, probably, but that doesn't explain why he was outside of your studio unless he was going to try to hit on you again," Yuki said, putting out his cigarette angrily.
"I hope not," Shuichi said, slightly blushing, remembering the embarassing incident.
"Hmm, well...maybe he was just being nosy and listened in on your conversation," Yuki said.
Shuichi gasped. "That's horrible Yuki."
"I'm just saying what the possibilities are brat. It's possible he heard you and your friend talking and got mad and stalked off," Yuki said.
"Why would he do that?" Shuichi said, then his eyes got big and he shouted, "Tatsuha likes Suguru?!"
"Sure, whatever. Now get out of here brat, I have to get back to work," Yuki said, typing once more.
Shuichi walked out of the office compliantly since he had so much to think about. This was getting much more complicated that just Ryuichi and Tatsuha and Hiro and Suguru. Shuichi moaned and layed on the couch. 'What have I gotten myself into?'
