Tatsuha was pacing the hotel room. He was upset and hating it. Ryuichi was, as he paced through the room, out with Sai. In fact, the singer had been out with her for the past four hours! It was driving him crazy. Perhaps things had gone so well that they had gone back to Sai's place.

 

His eyes widened and he paused in his pacing at that thought. No. Ryuichi wouldn't be screwing a woman he barely knew... would he?

 

Tatsuha growled, beginning to pace once more. "No. Ryuichi is supposed to be with who he wants. I have no say. I'm not his lover...." he trailed off, even as his expression became sad.

 

No, he wasn't Ryuichi lover. He was just his PA. He had no right to mess with his love life. In fact, he had to learn to move on... because it was obvious he was never going to have a chance with the man he loved. Even in the week they had been together, it had been all work; with Tatsuha making certain he had time with to himself, as well as work. Ryuichi had been enjoying the free time. He had even hugged Tatsuha once, saying he didn't know how he lived without him as his PA before. It had made Tatsuha's day... but had also made him long for more.

 

Sighing, he went back to sitting in a chair, watching TV and wondering if he should even expect the older man home.

 

Ryuichi bounded into the room a few minutes later. "Hey! I'm back!" He called out. "Oh, you were right! I didn't have to worry at all! It went wonderfully! Thanks for helping me with that."

 

'NO! It was supposed to be terrible!' Tatsuha's mental voice shrieked at him. Tatsuha ignored it, giving Ryuichi a casual, warm smile and a thumbs up. "See. I told you. Is there another date I have to make certain you have time for?"

 

"Huh? Oh. No. No, we won't be having a second date. I had to tell her who I was of course, and well, she was flattered that I liked her, but didn't think it would work with me having to fly just to see her all the time. So we just had dinner, and sat and talked about things for hours. I think I'll still call her to talk and stuff."

 

'Yes! Score one for me!' the inner voice cheered, even as Tatsuha felt his left eye twitch at that. He was going nuts, with signs of a split personality. "Oh, that's terrible. I wish things had gone better for you."

 

"Oh, no. It was fine. I really enjoyed it. She's really nice, but even if I was normal and lived closer, I still don't think we would. Just good friends I think."

 

'Ha, he's not interested in her! Make your move, Tats-chan!' his inner voice shouted in triumph.

 

Tatsuha sighed, closing his eyes for a second and trying to ignore that voice. "Oh? What went wrong?"

 

"Nothing. I just didn't really feel anything special with her." Ryuichi said, finally sitting down across from Tatsuha.

 

Before his mental partner could make a comment, he stood up. "Well, at least things were enjoyable and didn't turn out badly. Knowing that, I think I'll call it a night."

 

'Coward,' his mind couldn't help but add.

 

"Oh? Okay. See you in the morning then." Ryuichi said, sadly watching him go. He wanted to talk to him more, but he supposed that talking about his date wasn't the best thing. He knew that it must have hurt him. But he and Sai had spent most of the time talking about Tatsuha and how he felt about Ryuichi. She helped him understand a lot of things. It really helped him, because he still wasn't sure how he felt about the younger man. But at least he knew more now. And that helped.

 

Tatsuha paused, looking back over at him. "Was there something you needed, Ryu-chan? Like just an ear to listen about your evening?"

 

"No no. I'm fine. I already talked about it enough. Thank you for offering though. Good night, Tatsuha-kun."

 

Tatsuha stared at him. "Then why do you look sad while saying that, Ryuichi-san?" he asked, showing he was serious as he spoke, and not kidding around.

 

"Hmmm? Oh. I hadn't realized. No, it's just something Sai and I were talking about. Nothing to worry about. I'm fine."

 

Tatsuha felt like their days together, where they had been growing closer, had just been shot down. Nodding his head, he turned toward the bedroom, waving a good night since he didn't trust his voice at the moment.

 

Ryuichi watched him leave silently. He was sure that had been the wrong thing. But... he couldn't tell Tatsuha everything just yet. Not until he was sure of what he felt.
