"You can come in Shindou-san." Tohma said, giving the singer a small smile, before turning back to the paper in front of him. He heard shuffling as Shuichi slipped through the door, the click as he closed it bhind him. Tohma finished reading the paper, then signed it before looking up again. He frowned slightly when he saw Shuichi standing near the door, shifting his weight nervously from foot to foot, was the boy that uncomfortable with him? "Was there something you needed Shindou-san?" he asked giving the vocalist a small smile.
"I, we finished for the day, and you had said that you wanted me to come up when we were finished for the day." Shuichi said, looking up at his boss nervously.
"Ah yes, I was going to suggest that we could leave together, but I have a bit more work to finish before I can leave, so if you would like to go ahead you can." Tohma said looking back to his paperwork.
"It's alright Seguchi-san, I'll just wait here if thats alright with you."
"That would be fine, you can sit on the couch while you wait" Tohma said without looking up from the paper he was currently reading. He glanced up a few minutes later, seeing Shuichi sitting on the edge of the couch, looking around the office. Tohma couldn't help but smile as the young man shifted in his seat, unable to sit still, he really was quite cute. 'You need to stop thinking like that you fool, you know he would never want you.' Tohma thought to himself, forcing his thoughts back to the paper in front of him.
It was quite some time later when Tohma looked up again he saw that Shuichi had fallen asleep, curled up facing that back of the couch. Glancing back to the still somewhat sizable stack of papers left on his desk, gave a small sigh, setting his pen down. He could bring them home with him, and finish them later. Grabbing his coat he slipped it on, before grabbing the small stack of papers and setting them into a bag. Setting the bag on his shoulder he walked over to the slumbering young man. He stood at the couch, looking down at the young man for a few minutes, admiring how innocent the young man looked, with his pink hairfalling over his eyes. With a small smile, Tohma reached forward, letting his ungloved hand brush lightly against the singers face, moving the soft pink strands off of the singers closed eyes. He couldn't help but blush as the sleeping vocalist shifted, leaning into the touch as he mumble incoherently. Moving his hand to the boys shoulder he gave it a small shake, giving the boy his usual smile as sleepy amethyst eyes blinked open, looking at him.
"It's time to go now, Shindou-san."
Giving a small nod, Shuichi sat up, rubbing his eyes before following his boss as they left the office.
"Did you finish your paperwork, Seguchi-san?" Shuichi asked as the reached the elevator.
"Most of it, though I still have a little to finish tomorrow." Tohma said. The rest of the ride down and out to the car was made in silence. On the way back to his appartment, Tohma stopped by the store, picking up a few groceries to stock his kitchen. When they got to the appartment Tohma shook the singer, who had fallen asleep when the left NG, the bags out of the car they headed up to the appartment. "It's going to be stir fry tonight Shindou-san." Tohma said when they were in the kitchen, putting away all the groceries, only keeping out the things that he needed to make dinner. Less than an hour later they were sitting at the table eating dinner. Shuichi was happily eating his way through the plateful of food as he told Tohma about his day, not even noticing as the Keybordist picked at his food, hardly eating it. When Shuichi paused for a second in speaking Tohma looked up at him.
"There is more food, if you are still hungry Shindou-san." Tohma said with a smile. He looked back down to his plate when Shuichi got up to get more to eat. 'Ryuichi would be mad if he knew I wasn't eating like he wants me to.' Tohma thought to himself as he took a small bite. He wasn't hungry, and if SHuichi hadn't been there he would have skipped dinner altogether. He usually made due with only one meal a day, if he remembered to eat at all, but after Ryuichi had found out how little Tohma ate, the singer had made it a point to make sure Tohma ate more regularly, on eating lunch with the blonde. He also refused to leave or work until Tohma had finished everything he had been given to eat. Glancing up when he saw Shuichi slide back into his chair he noticed that the other was watching him.
"Aren't you going to eat Seguchi-san" Shuichi asked as he started eating. Tohma nodded as he put a forkfull of food in his mouth, chewing slowly as he watched the young vocalist. 'Ryuichi and him really are a lot alike' he thought to himself, eating another small forkfull of food. He had only eaten a small portion of his dinner when he stood up, dumping the rest of his dinner in the trash before bringing his plate to the sink and washing it. Setting it in the drainboard to dry he saw the pan he had used to cook dinner was empty, so he grabbed it, quickly washing it as well. Turning to face the singer Tohma gave him a small smile.
"I don't mean to be rude Shindou-san, but I'm going to bed now, I suggest you go to bed soon as well, we'll be leaving early tomorrow."
"Alright Seguchi-san" Shuichi said with a small frown as Tohma walked away.
