Die flipped the magazine carelessly. Kyo glared at him, "Don’t be so mean to it!" the singer snatched it from the older man. Die joined his eyebrows, "Kyo! It doesn’t have life! Give it to me!" Kyo ran away, "You don’t even read it!" he yelled. Kyo stuck his tongue out at Die without realising he bumped into somebody.
"Ouch!"
Kyo looked up, "Ehehe…konnichiwa, Yoshiki-san. Gomen ne" he sounded a bit sheepish. Yoshiki shook his head, "It’s okay Kyo-chan…you’re too kawaii to be scolded" he spoke sweetly patting Kyo’s head. The singer sent daggers to his eyes but was ignored easily.
"Die! I need to talk to you…" Yoshiki exclaimed. Die got up from his seat looking really scared. The older man laughed, "No…I won’t beat you up" hearing this Kyo raised an eyebrow.
"I’ve been thinking a lot…" Yoshiki spoke softly. Kyo pouted realising he wasn’t needed so he walked out the room and bumped into a woman.
Kyo grinned.
-back to Die and Yoshiki-
"What do you mean?" Die asked.
"Did Shinya tell Toshiya how he felt? Kind of like…a talk between good friends?" Yoshiki asked back. Die shook his head, "Toshiya told Kaoru then Kaoru told me that Shinya told him everything except his feelings!"
"Dooshite?"
Yoshiki brushed his hair, "I’ve told you I’ve been thinking a lot! I don’t mean to help but…" Die thought he saw the producer blushing only for one second.
"I know- we all know, you love Shinya and he loves you too…but things get really confusing and frankly, I’m sick of the games you’re playing!" Yoshiki declared. Die looked at him weirdly.
"I don’t play games with Shinya…"
"Hai hai…I know! I’m not talking about you…" he massaged his temple. Die bit his lip, "What do you mean?" Yoshiki shook his head.
"I’m sure Toshiya, Kaoru and Kyo feel the same as I do…and I’m sick of being in this position…being the middle one…listening to your side of story as well as Shinya’s side of story…believe me! It’s tiring!" he gave Die a tired look to back up his statement.
Yoshiki stopped for a while. Die waited but he couldn’t really take it anymore.
"So…?" he asked.
Yoshiki clapped his hands, "So…let’s get you and Shinya back together!" he exclaimed. Yoshiki smiled seeing Die going through many expressions on his face.
"Hounto ni…?" Die asked weakly. He didn’t know what to say…or how to feel. Yoshiki nodded with a smile. Die gasped in disbelief and thought for a while. But he finally smiled, "Okay…" he laughed nervously.
Yoshiki’s smile faded in sudden. He opened his mouth wanting to say something. Die, noticing that, asked.
"What’s wrong? You change your mind?" he asked worriedly. Yoshiki quickly shook his head.
"Oh…no! Nothing…I was just thinking, wondering…I told you Shinya looked for you right…the next morning?" he looked at the red head. Die nodded.
"Don’t you feel weird about that?" the older man asked. Yoshiki wanted to tell Die what he thought but seeing Die’s confused expression he shook his head, "Nevermind…ah!" his beeper rang. The producer sighed and got up, "I have to go…Ja!"
Die nodded and smiled back.

"Dinner?" Toshiya said aloud, happily. Kyo looked at Yoshiki in disbelief. Die smiled to Kaoru who shrugged then the pink head glanced at Shinya. The drummer had a weird expression on his face. Kaoru knew what it was. Die had told him everything and he knew the ‘dinner’ was part of Yoshiki’s plan.
"Hai…I’ll treat you guys" Toshiya smiled in excitement and happily packed his stuff. Kyo looked at him suspiciously. Yoshiki merely smile,
"Yes, Kyo-kun?"
"My mother told me if somebody treated me well that meant he wanted something from me…" Kyo mumbled. The producer laughed, "You’ll never know Kyo-kun…" he turned to Shinya, "Let’s go!" how could Shinya say no? He couldn’t. Die smiled widely and stepped beside Yoshiki. Toshiya held his lover’s arm.

"Heh…it think it’s quite nice…" Yoshiki chewed his food. Toshiya grinned, "That one’s my favourite…" he held his chopsticks and smiled sweetly. Kaoru stared at him lovingly from the other side. Kyo pouted, ‘Ew…I hate this…" he narrowed his eyes at the prawn on his plate. Yoshiki cleared his throat. Die laughed as Kyo ate it and the vocalist glared at him.
"Sumimasen…this goes with the barbeque menu…" a waitress suddenly appeared. Yoshiki took the plate and gave her the ever so charming smile of Yoshiki. She hesitated for a while, wondering who could he be before going out the room. The man put it on the table, "I think this belongs to both-" he stopped, "Shinya and Die…" Kyo, Kaoru, Die and Toshiya turned.
Shinya looked up finding…bread? Looked like garlic bread to him. He didn’t like it, let Die had it! So Shinya turned away taking a small piece of chicken with his chopsticks. Die, in contrary, took it. But he looked at Shinya for a while. Yoshiki cleared his throat, again.
"Die…how do you know Shinya doesn’t want it? You can’t just take the whole thing without asking!" Yoshiki sounded as if he was scolding the guitarist. Die blushed, of course I know! He lived with me for two years! I know everything about him! He wanted to say. But he knew he shouldn’t.
The others smirked.
Shinya looked at Yoshiki weirdly, "Ano…I don’t want it…" he shook his head few times to the producer. Yoshiki sighed, "Shinya…you have to eat!" he began.
"Hai hai…you’re so skinny! So bony! Skinny guys aren’t sexy!" Toshiya exclaimed glancing at Kaoru. Except my Kaoru, he wanted to say that statement too but decided not to. Not in front of Yoshiki-san.
"You’ll look like walking skeleton!" Kyo suddenly added, not that it’s not cool!
"You won’t have any strength to play drums!" Kaoru warned, he’s skinny enough already and yet he’s the strongest!
Shinya joined his eyebrows. Something weird was going on here…and everybody except him stared at Die. Why?
Die gulped seeing Kyo, Kaoru and Toshiya as well as Yoshiki stared at him, giving him the excuse-me-it’s-your-turn look. Shinya blushed a little and turned away quickly. The red head looked confused, trying to find something to say.
"Ah…" Die began. Everyone except Shinya arched eyebrows at him.
Shinya bit his lip; his heart beat madly against his chest.
"Why…why don’t you take it?" Die asked carefully holding the plate up. Now everyone turned to Shinya, making him even more nervous. The drummer shook his head strongly,
"Iie…I-I don’t eat that…" he spoke softly. Shinya thought Die should know that!
Toshiya sighed. Finally, Shinya actually talked to Die! Yoshiki smiled slightly, Kyo exchanged look with Kaoru. Die stared at Shinya for a while before turning back to Yoshiki, "He doesn’t want it…" Toshiya grinned seeing Die behaving like a child. The red head blushed.
"Why? You should eat, Shinya-kun!" Yoshiki faked a gasp. Kaoru nodded backing up Yoshiki’s statement. Kyo studied Die’s face who merely blushed.
Toshiya pouted, "Come on Shinya…what’s wrong with a small piece of garlic bread?" he sighed tiredly. Die winced as somebody kicked his leg. Suspiciously, he rolled his eyes to everyone. He suspected it’s Toshiya but when Yoshiki narrowed his eyes at him, he knew who it was. But there was no way pushing Shinya to eat that!
Shinya fumed; "Okay…" he finally gave in. Toshiya smiled, Kaoru nodded in satisfaction. Kyo grinned and Yoshiki smiled. But suddenly the young drummer shook his head, "But there’s only one loaf…" he looked at Die nervously. The red head blushed instantly at Shinya’s gaze. Kaoru smirked,
"Die…aren’t you gonna –give- it to our skinny Shinya who needs food?" he asked. Die was startled, "Huh? Oh! Hai hai…here…" he took the plate and offered it to Shinya. The drummer widened his eyes. But Die likes it…
"Ah…why don’t we share?" Shinya suddenly suggested. Yoshiki raised an eyebrow. The rest of them almost choked. Shinya?
Die smiled widely (one of those smiles in the concert *swoon* -L7). Shinya gasped seeing that. "Okay…" Die cut it into half and handed it to Shinya. The drummer took it nervously. He looked at Die for few seconds touching the red head’s hand. Yoshiki smiled. Kyo’s jaw dropped. Shinya was touching Die’s hand!!! Not taking the bread!
Die gazed at Shinya who stared at him.
I love you…
Shinya suddenly blushed furiously. He was really awake when Die kissed him…when Die touched him, kissing him…and looking at Die now…everything went back to his mind…floating around…Shinya blinked and moved his hand, "Domo…" he whispered. The older man nodded to him, amazed by Shinya.
They started eating again. Shinya shyly bit the bread holding it tightly in his hands. He felt himself smiling to no one but the memory of Die…
"Shinya-kun…does it taste good?" Toshiya suddenly asked, innocently.
The drummer blushed. Die pouted glaring at Toshiya. Don’t tease him Toshiya!
"How about you Die…tastes good ne…" Kyo asked grinning. The guitarist narrowed his eyes at him, "Shut up!" he mumbled. Yoshiki shook his head. At least the first plan worked well!!! Too well actually! Who could guess Shinya actually touched Die’s hand with dreamy expression on his face?!
But things might turn really bad…
Yoshiki wished they would finally got together again…as long as they were still alive…Die and Shinya would find the way!
