Thank you to all of you who have reviewed! I really appreciate it!
Ryuichi sat on his couch with Kuma and was watching TV. Sadly, the 31 yr. old singer couldn't concentrate on what the cartoon was about. For the past four days his thoughts have been occupied by Tatsuha. He and Kuma didn't even have their weekly ice cream party, which was a big deal.
We need to get out of the house, Kuma said.
Ryuichi sighed. He knew he needed to leave. Four days was a long time to stay inside. Maybe he could go to the zoo today. But he couldn't go with just Kuma, he needed someone else there. He would call Tatsuha-kun! But he didn't know his number. 'I know I'll call Yuki and Shuichi's house,' Ryuichi thought. Getting up from the couch, he grabbed the phone and dialed the number.
Yuki's House
"Brat, get the phone!" Yuki hollered, glasses on his face, cigarette in his mouth and typing furiously.
"Yuki, I'm trying to get ready for work. I'm already late," Shuichi whined from the bathroom.
Sighing, the novelist got up, put out his cigarette and answered the phone in the hallway.
"Yeah," Yuki said, answering the phone.
"Yuki-san?" A child-like voice said on the other end.
"Hold on, I'll get Shuichi," Yuki said.
"No, I wanted to talk to you," Ryuichi said.
"Oh?" Yuki replied.
"Y-yes, can I, um," Ryuichi started saying, "um.."
"Spit it out," Yuki half said, half yelled.
"Can I have Tatsuha-kun's number?" Ryuichi finally said.
"You, want my brother's phone number?" Yuki said, slightly disbelieving.
"Yes, please, Yuki-san," Ryuichi pleaded.
Yuki gave the singer his brother's cell number, said bye and hung up the phone.
"Yuki, who was that on the phone?" Shuichi asked, getting ready to go out the door.
Yuki debated on whether or not he should tease his lover and say it was an old girlfriend and they're going out to dinner, but he needed his peace and quiet soon, so he said, "It was your stupid idol." And he started walking towards his office.
"Sakuma-san? What did he want?" Shuichi asked.
"Tatsuha's number, now get out!" Yuki yelled from the office.
Shuichi yelled, "Bye!" And ran out the door, starting his trek to the NG building, all the while thinking if he should tell Ryuichi what he found out.
Back with Ryuichi
Ryuichi hung up the phone after talking to Yuki.
"Ne, Kuma do you think I should go ahead and get ready to go?" Ryuichi asked.
Sure, Kuma answered, trying to figure out who the bad guy was in his show.
Ryuichi ran into his room and started finding things to wear to the zoo and maybe something to get Tatsuha to notice him. After he was all done, he grabbed his cell phone and dialed the monk's number. It seemed like the phone rang forever when Tatsuha finally answered.
"m'lo" a sleepy voice said on the other line.
"Hi Tats-kun!" Ryuichi said cheerfully.
There was a sound of something hitting the floor and then Tatsuha's voice said, "Sakuma-san! How-when did you get my number?"
"Yuki-san gave it to me," Ryuichi said.
"What?! I mean, oh, um, did you need something?" Tatsuha asked.
"Well, I want to go to the zoo today, but Kuma says I need another friend, so I decided to call Tats-kun and see if you wanted to come with us," Ryuichi said, happily.
There was a long pause and Ryuichi hoped the boy hadn't falled back asleep. Then Tatsuha finally said, "I'm sorry Sakuma-san. I can't go with you. Maybe another time.
"O-oh, okay," Ryuichi stuttered, not expecting him to not go. He quickly recovered with a cheerful, "Bye Tats-kun. I'll talk to you later!"
"Bye, Sakuma-san," Tatsuha replied, then both hung up the phone.
Ryuichi turned to Kuma and said, "He didn't want to go with me."
Maybe he's busy today? Kuma suggested.
"It didn't sound like that Kuma," Ryuichi said, sitting beside his pink friend.
Well I'm sure he had a good reason. Don't worry he's still your friend, Kuma said, consolingly.
Ryuichi shook his head yes, when his cell phone started ringing Rage Beat, meaning it was Shuichi calling.
"Shu-chan!" Ryuichi said excitingly, answering the phone.
"Hi Sakuma-san," Shuichi said.
"How are you Shu-chan? I'm going to the zoo with Kuma today," Ryuichi said.
"By yourself?" Shuichi asked.
"Yep. Tats-kun said he couldn't go today," Ryuichi stated.
"Sakuma-san, I'm afraid I have bad news," Shuichi said in a sad tone.
"What is it?" Ryuichi asked, wondering why his friend was so sad all of a sudden.
"I found out...," Shuichi started saying. He sighed and continued, "I found out that Tatsuha might like Suguru."
Ryuichi was speechless. He didn't know what to say or think or feel.
"Oh, is that all?" Ryuichi said, acting like it didn't effect him.
"Sakuma-san are you going to be alright?" Shuichi asked.
"Of course Shu-chan. I have to go to the zoo with Kuma now, he's telling me to hurry up. Bye!" Ryuichi said, quickly hanging up the phone before his friend could say anything else.
Ryuichi layed down on the couch beside Kuma. Guess we're not going to get out of the house after all huh? Kuma said while softly patting Ryuichi's head.
At the Studio at NG
K had just left for some reason, but by the way he was laughing as he left, Hiro didn't think he wanted to know what was going through their manager's head. Then Shuichi decided to leave, saying he had to make a phone call in the lobby, leaving Suguru and Hiro alone in the studio. Hiro was very nervous, now was the perfect opportunity to ask out Suguru. All of a sudden, SMACK! Hiro looked up at the person who had just slapped him.
"Suguru?" Hiro asked.
"You jerk! How could you? Leading me on and then liking that, that, ugh!" Suguru yelled at him.
Hiro's eyes were wide with shock. Leading him on? Liking who? He just didn't understand.
"Suguru, I don't know what you're talking about," Hiro said carefully, afraid Suguru was going to hit him again.
"Oh right, sure you don't. So you didn't tell Shuichi that you liked someone?" Suguru said accusingly.
"Well, yeah, I did, but-" Hiro was saying.
"See, you did. From now on Nakano, stay away from me as much as possible," Suguru said.
"Hey, now hold on Fujisaki. I don't think we're talking about the same thing here. Yesterday, I did tell Shuichi that I liked someone, but the person I said was you. I don't know where you got the idea that I like someone else," Hiro said, standing up angrily.
"Me?" Suguru said, meekly.
"Yes you, now I want to know where you got the idea that I liked, this, other person," Hiro said, glaring.
"Well, um, you see, Mika came in the building and made me go with her to her dad's house to get somethings for the upcoming party, which is supposed to be a surprise. Then Tatsuha came home and I happened to be coming back from the bathroom when I heard him say this sucks. So I decided to be nice for once and ask him what was wrong. Then he told me that he heard you say you like Ryuichi," Suguru explained.
"I liked who?!" Hiro said, not sure whether to be offended or not. Hiro pinched the bridge of his nose and then asked, "So only you and Tatsuha thought this?"
"Yes, as far as I know. I'm really sorry Na-- Hiro, I just thought..." Suguru said looking down.
"Well you thought wrong," Hiro said, lifting up Suguru's face with his hand.
Hiro bent down and kissed Suguru lightly on the lips. When he pulled away, Suguru's face was bright red, but he grabbed Hiro and pulled him forward kissing him again.
In the lobby
Shuichi sighed, hating himself for having to tell Ryuichi the bad news. He walked back to the studio and opened the door, only to find Hiro and Suguru lip-locked. Closing the door softly and leaning up against the wall with wide eyes, he thought, 'How am I going to tell Tatsuha, he'll be devastated.'
Hope this one was good, read and review plz!
