Okay, see, I know this is a short chapter, but I'm saving a scene for the next one, which will probably be in Suguru's POV or Sakano's. Or possibly Rage's. I dunno. Heh.
"What are you doing?"
K looks up from three mugs on the kitchen table. One has a dog's face on it, one has a penguin on it, and the other is plain. K is contemplating which the singer's is. It could be the dog one because he saw Shuichi holding it once, but it could be the penguin one because Shuichi has a stuffed penguin, or it could be the plain one because Shuichi's mood seems a bit… plain these past two days.
"What am I not doing?" K smirks. Yuki snorts and holds up his middle finger, obviously not caring about the manager. K watches as Yuki drags his hand through his limp, blonde hair and leans against his kitchen counter. It is amusing to K how annoyed and distressed Yuki looks without knowing it.
When Yuki doesn't say a word, K drums his fingers on the table, grinning as he smirks, "I'm looking for Shuichi's mug. He'd get it himself, but he needs to work on the album."
Yuki shifts awkwardly before asking, "What song?"
"Why?"
"Maybe I'm a fan of Bad Luck and want to know."
"You never show it."
"I was at the last concert."
"Super Drive is not a sad song."
"You shot me. Plus, I perceive everything as a sad song."
"Even Shuichi and Ryuichi. And by the by, I was aiming for the guy next to you. He was filming the concert."
"I didn't say anything 'bout them."
"I know all and see all, and you think that they're sad."
"They're not together."
"That's not what the media says."
"Screw the media."
"I bet you'd like to screw Shuichi."
"What's it to you? I heard the concert. He sounded fine. The separation did nothing to his vocals, so I don't concern you concerning him."
The silence is long and thick, and K wonders whether or not he's going to figure out which cup belongs to Shuichi. Actually, in actuality, Shuichi doesn't really need his mug. And Shuichi's not really recording his album. In actuality, Shuichi is at the mall with Hiro buying clothes for Riku. And actually, K is only here to settle his curiosity of the Shuichi/Yuki ordeal. Yes, Shuichi's vocals haven't changed, and yes, K wouldn't really care about anything else, but Ryuichi's suffering from Rage's wrath, because Shuichi won't talk to him, because something happened with him and Yuki. And because Ryuichi's suffering Rage's wrath, Judy, his wife, is suffering Rage's wrath. And because of that, K is suffering Judy's wrath. So in an attempt to settle all these wraths, K has to get some idea why Shuichi's so broken-hearted.
