Warning: boy/boy (Yuki/Shuichi) Do Not Read If This Offends You.
"I'm sorry Shindou. The concert is near and I can't put in a band that was discovered by you. Even if it's an ex-girlfriend or something," Tohma said the next day as he hadn't heard the entire story yet as he had heard it just bits of pieces still.
"Why not? You made me play in ASK's opening act. Remember that?" Shuichi asked.
"I remember."
"Give them a chance like you did with me. You won't regret it Tohma," Shuichi said as he was now being stubborn.
"Is this about the band or the lead singer Shindou? I thought you were dating my dear brother-in-law?" Tohma asked as he glared at him.
"I am. It was just a shock to see Jun Kitamura again," Shuichi said slowly.
"Let's say I'll go and put her in the opening act for your concert, what happens if the song doesn't make a big hit? Who's going to pay the money?" Tohma asked.
"I assure you, it will be a big hit!"
"Did you even take a look at her song lyrics yet?"
"No," Shuichi said quietly as he looked down.
"That's why I'm asking you, who's going to pay the money if she fails?"
"Bad Luck will pay the rest. We are on the top charts, aren't we? Please Tohma. Give her a chance," Shuichi pleaded.
Tohma sighed, "after work, go and see her lyrics and then if it's good enough, call me and I will consider your proposal," he said as he handed his card to Shuichi as Tohma knew that he had no idea what Tohma's telephone number was nor business number.
(After work)
Shuichi decided to do what Tohma told him to do as he called Jun right before he left NG and decided to meet her at a café that was near Yuki's place. He was sitting by the entrance at the small café as Jun arrived ten minutes later after he had arrived at the café.
"So sorry I'm late Shuichi," Jun said apologizing as Shuichi shook his head.
"No. I wasn't waiting long Jun," Shuichi said.
"Here's the lyrics," Jun said nervously as she handed Shuichi the song.
Love Chronicles
Anime: Full Moon Wo Sagashite
Band: Changin' My Lifewhy? I've completely forgotten how to love
Meetings will come someday with the beginning of parting
Somehow, I have decided upon that idea
You tied my loose shoelaces of my dirty sneakers
Your shy smile suddenly shone in the sunlight
It's not that I love for want of love
You gave me the courage to love straightforward
"This song, it's about me, isn't it?" Shuichi asked with a slight blush.
Jun nodded, "I've decided to write a song about you since you're the one who changed me."
"How so?"
"I love you Shuichi. I couldn't stop thinking about you. Not even if I had a fiancée back then," Jun admitted.
Shuichi's blush deepened at that moment, "I love you as well Jun. But I have a fiancée and I don't think breaking off will be the ideal realistic here."
"Eiri Yuki, right? The romance novelist?" Jun asked.
"How'd you know?"
"Shuichi, your still an idiot after all these years. I've seen the both of you on televisions, interviews…etc. Also, he mentions at every novel that he writes now at the end that you are his lover and the only one."
Shuichi looked down, "I'm sorry that I couldn't return your feelings for you Jun. But Tohma had agreed to let you play in the opening act."
Jun squealed and before he knew it, Jun had leaned over the table and kissed him fully on the lips without them noticing a portable camera taking a quick picture of the two before the two finally realized what they were doing.
"I'm so sorry Shuichi! I shouldn't have done that!" Jun said quickly.
"It was just excitement. Well? You sure you want to play the opening act for us?"
"I overdid my excitement, didn't I?" Jun asked with a grin.
Shuichi chuckled, "of course you did," he said as Jun stood up and went over to hug him before leaving once again so she could tell her band mates about it.
Shuichi smiled at the encounter he had as he dialed Tohma's number with his cell phone.
"Tohma Seguchi speaking," the other voice at the end said.
"Tohma, it's me, Shuichi."
"Ah, Mr. Shindou! What can I do for you?"
Shuichi twitched though Tohma couldn't see it, "Jun's lyrics are alright. It's going to hit the top of the charts for NG."
"Well, I surely hope so. Well then. The opening band would be surely disappointed about the news."
"Who was the opening band?""Nittle Grasper."
Shuichi froze, "are you serious?"
Tohma chuckled, "no. ASK was supposed to play but I'm guessing Tachi wouldn't be too happy."
"I'll warn Yuki about him."
"See that you do. See you at work tomorrow Shindou," Tohma said and the two hanged up from one another.
