[+][L-N+][P-UL] ~ SHOUNEN POP - 少年ＰＯＰ ~

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

Shou was such an interesting man.
Gorgeous too.
Hardly bad on the eyes.

Nakai liked him... perhaps more than just liked. Then again, the blond didn't want to resort to being thought of as some rabid fanboy.
He smiled, "It is late... and I wouldn't want to keep Your Eminence up any later than need be. Besides... I've a day full of choreography tomorrow... really could use some sleep myself."

Finishing his wine, Nakai bowed just a bit to Shou. "Until we meet again, Shou-san?"

Poor Nakai however... his manager was laying in the hospital in critical condition... and no one had told him yet...

The Pre-Event


Shou head leaned up on the cool glass of the car as Yamada-san was quickly behind him. But then before he knew it, his other band members were scooting their rumps into to the vehicle. He had almost shut down his mind to nap on the drive but snapped to attention once again and smiled at Naoko, "Why yes, I met your most lovely look alike. Quite a treat...Quite a treat indeed. But on the business side, I promoted the Charity and even was able to make a few of the sponsor give a little extra to the cause. I really wasn't there much for fun and games even if I did teach Chiyou how to dance a proper waltz."

Yamada-san then looked over at Shou and reached into a compartment to pull out a pillow. "Here, Shou..." He put the pillow in his lap then pulled Shou down till his head was on it. "Now...take your nap. We've only about 4.5 hours until you need to be up for the Fan Rally. Your costumes are already prepared. So....stop talking and start napping. And you two..." he looked over at Naoko and Ryuukaze, "No making out in the car...behave."

Shou smirked just a little, "Yes Hamu-kun..." Teasing just enough to get a frusterated twitch of Yamada-san's eyebrow before starting to take his nap.

Even leaving an event became a whirlwind when one was with Shou.
One moment, a cab. The next, he and Naoko were chasing after their Emperor, sliding into the limo they had arrived in.
"Hahahahaha! Wow...that was quite a party, ne, Shou-san!" Ryu tried to make happy conversation with their "fearless leader". Part of the violinist was, after all, very happy.
The other part of him was rather angry, protective, and concerned for Naoko...but that was the part of him he was decidedly keeping to himself. He didn't want his tenshi to worry, and it was certainly not of anyone else's concern. What had gone on at the party tonight, Ryu wanted it put away, where nobody could find out about it and Naoko could forget it...but he knew that was far to simple to ask for.
Hayato would be dealt with somehow, but for tonight, Ryu just wanted to be happy, and to nurse the wounds that had been reopened in Naoko.
At the mention of Nakai, though...Ryu's stomach felt a bit queasy. That one was an odd relationship. He rather imagined Nakai couldn't stand him, and well so. He brushed it off though, and made no comment.
Shou lay his head down and began to nap, Ryu put his arm around Naoko and pulled him closer, leaning sideways in the seat and laying his head back to rest, letting Naoko know he was welcome to nap on him if that was what he wished.
"Heh...don't think we would be doing such a thing...no worries..." he replied to Shou's assistant, smirking.

"Nakai-kun? I didn't get a change to talk to him..." the blond reply with a sigh. "Wish I had. We haven't talked in a while..."

'Not since the alley really...' he thought to himself, before focusing on their Emperor.

Naoko couldn't help the slight giggle that left his lips when Yamada convinced Shou to lay down.
"Looks comfy..." the pianist said, yawning before leaning back against Ryuukaze. "Don't worry, Yamada-san. I'm too tired for making out anyway." the blond teased.

In truth though... NAKO wanted to turn around and wrap his arms tightly around Ryu, never to let go.
So many things had happened...
Things he hadn't thought COULD ever happen.

And once again, the young man found himself questioning his choices.

After all, he really loved Ryu. Ryu loved him. Ryu cared...
But there was still that part of him that craved the danger... craved the things Hayato could do to a person to give them the utmost pleasures...
They were things Ryu couldn't do... wouldn't do...
Things that frightened and yet pleased Naoko all at the same time.

Sighing, the blond closed his eyes as he relaxed.

What... a party...

The Pre-Event

Yamada-san absentmindedly massages the Emperor's shoulder as he slept watching out the window as the time past by. Even after such a bit of time, he finally leaned his head back and closed his eyes.

After about 45 minutes the limousine pulled up at Ryuukaze's private home. It was then the driver slipped out and around to open the door. "Have a good evening gentlemen." said the driver.

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

Naoko, strangely, hadn't fallen asleep.

So when the driver opened the door and bid them goodnight, the blond crept out of the limo without disturbing Yamada or Shou.

After all, their fearless leader and his aid really did need their rest...

"Ne, Ryu-kun..." the blond spoke as they walked up to the front door. "Can we have a few drinks before bed?"
At the moment, the pianist really just wanted to get s**t faced and pass out.

Ryu has stayed awake the whole ride, gently running his fingers through Naoko's lovely coiffed locks as the pianist seemingly slept on his lap. It was quite a relief when they got to his home, as Ryuukaze was certainly beginning to feel the night catching up with him. He just wanted to be out of the clothes, hair, and makeup, and into something far more comfortable.
Escorting Naoko up the front stairs, he opened the door and picked the pianist up, carrying him bridal style over the threshold and tossing aside their shoes. After all, it might be the only chance he got to carry the man into his home like that while wearing something fit for a bride.
"We can have whatever you like, dollbaby." Ryu smiled, walking to the main bedroom, carrying Naoko the whole way.
Tsubaki was sitting up in the living room reading through some thick book or another. She merely smiled as they came in, nodding to them, then immediately turned back to her large novel...that actually held a rather filthy yaoi doujinshi in it's middle, which was her little secret.
"Now, you just relax right here..." the violinist said, laying Naoko down on the bed in what had become their room, not just his. "What sort of drink can I get you?"

~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~
~( Believe me ) Osorenai de~
~Shinjiau koto....~
~FOR YOU~

 

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

Blushing, Naoko couldn't help but lean his head on Ryu's shoulder as the violinist carried him into the house.
That blush only grew brighter when he saw Tsubaki sitting there.
Thankfully, she didn't comment...

"Something really strong." the blond replied, laying comfortably on the bed. "Two or three somethings..." Naoko sighed softly, closing his eyes. "I... just want to pass out really..."

'To pass out and forget...'

But Ryu was being so nice to him, as always. His akuma was there, taking care of him, even before he'd had the chance to change clothes.

 

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

Sighing softly, Aki crossed one leg over the other at the knee and looked directly to Chiyou. "Because Matsumoto Izo is a very difficult man to deal with. Unlike myself, Chiyou-kun, when Izo doesn't get what he wants, he strikes out at those who denied him with violence. Of course, it would be bad for business if it were he himself doing the striking, so he has various hires on the payroll to take care of his dirty work." hands in his lap, the chairman continued to speak. "I'll share this secret with you, Chiyou-kun... because you're involved. The reason why Akihiko, why Narcissus, was cut from Ohayou's payroll... was because he was turning into a much more frightening version of Matsumoto Izo. I wasn't going to sit there and watch my only heir become a monster so... I cut his funding. Izzy was kind enough to take him in off the street AND continue to be his manager, pouring his own funds into Narcissus' music. I believe..." Aki sighed softly. "I believe Akihiko was trying to repay Izzy in a way, by refusing Matsumoto's offer. He wanted Izzy to know that he was staying true to the course... which he ended up remaining on, since Hiroki has signed him to Ohayou once again." the old man shrugged, blue eyes drifting to the window as he spoke. "Perhaps Matsumoto was jealous of that loyalty... perhaps he was simply angry at Akihiko for turning him down. Whatever the reason, Matsumoto exploited a weakness in my grandson. And that weakness... is, apparently, Izzy Lucky."

"Something strong...." he repeated to himself. "Strong strong strong strong...hmmm...I think I know just the thing!" Ryu rushed right to the liquor cabinet, pulling out a carafe of aged honey whiskey. 80 proof, and sweet as can be, though it came with quite a burn as well. Pouring three shots into a hi ball glass, the akuma brought it right back to Naoko, handing it to him with a slight bow.
Sitting on the side of the bed, he began to gently undress Naoko as he sipped on the drink, taking his time with the obi, and even holding the drink with one hand as he removed the pianist's arms from their sleeves with the other.
"Pajamas, or you sleeping in your underwear tonight?" he asked, still fully clothed.

~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~
~( Believe me ) Osorenai de~
~Shinjiau koto....~
~FOR YOU~

 

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

By the time that Ryu had started on pulling Naoko's arms from the sleeves, the pianist had already drank all three shots and emptied the glass.
"Mo ippai..." the blond spoke softly when Ryu was holding the glass. "I'll just sleep like this... I don't really feel like the restriction of pajamas..."
By now, his cheeks were redder than usual, but it seemed that the pianist was able to hold his liquor.

Chiyou regarded the older man for a long while with the saddest eyes one could imagine. The boy had known tragedy, but never anything like this. Having lost his father seemed like nothing now. His mother abandoning him? Petty, in comparison to the heartbreak that just kept piling up for the young man.
"Poor Akihiko..." Chiyou finally spoke, truly feeling for his fellow vocalist. "I haven't really known him closely for long...but...very recently...we kinda became friends...enemies, frienemies, I suppose. It's a long story I'd rather not get into...but I feel like...perhaps...all that it boils down to is that he needs more love, and he needs tough love...which, pretty much, means that he needs Izzy Lucky. That's what...that's who I've needed...and really, he's the only reason I'm as ok as I am now..." the blond ran his fingers through a tuft of Izzy's hair as he spoke, looking at his face to make sure he was still resting alright.
"Ishi is the best manager that you've got on board, boss. I'd give anything to have him back...and I guess that's why I envy Narcissus." Chiyou chuckled. "You see...he's more than just a manager...he's a friend, and a family member...and I love him so much and I just..." the boy's hand flew to his mouth, stifling the sudden outburst that threatened to pour forth from him. Two teardrops threatened to spill over, but the boy managed to blink them back. Koyasu Aki surely would understand, though. He looked on for all those years, watched Izzy put up with him through so much, watched the manager coach him through rehab, looked on as the two grew closer...but Chiyou was to blame for Ishi being taken away as his manager back then...at least that was what he believed. If he hadn't been so spoiled, bitchy, and headstrong...but what was, simply was, and he couldn't go back and change it now.
"Gomen nasai..." the star quickly apologized. "I know I need to stop being so emotional. I'm not a little kid anymore." he said as if trying to convince himself of this.
"The point is..." Chiyou thought for a moment, then continued, "I think your grandson meant well, and I don't blame him for this. But if Matsumoto did such a thing over something so petty...then I wish him death."
And with that, the boy went back to caressing Izzy's face and hair, softly whispering the occasional "It's alright" and "I love you" into the manager's ear.

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

Smiling softly, Aki nodded. "Izzy Lucky ceased being your manager, Chiyou-kun... because at the time, he ceased being effective."
The chairman stood, walking over to Chiyou and putting a hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Izzy is the best, which is partially why I gave into Akihiko's request to have him as a manager. It's why I put him as Nakai's manager which reminds me," he glanced to Asato. "I need you to notify Nakai of what's happened."
Focusing back on Izzy and Chiyou, Aki continued. "He means a great deal to you. I thought perhaps replacing him might make an impact on you. Make you realize that you can't have what you want... when you act out so badly."
The chairman released Chiyou's shoulder, clasping his hands behind his back as he sighed. "As for death... I don't blame you your hatred, Chiyou-kun. I really don't."

"More?" he questioned, taking the glass. Well, if it was what Naoko wanted, but he would be getting less this time. The last thing Ryu wanted to do was give the person he loved alcohol poisoning.
Putting off undressing, he made his way back to the cabinet and filled the glass with two shots of the whiskey this time, bringing it right back to his beloved and handing it over.
Finally, Ryu began to undress himself, standing beside the bed and slowly winding the fabric away from his slender frame.
"If you want to sleep like that, then that's all well and good, angelface. I'll probably do the same. I feel rather warm from being in these heavy clothes all night." he said as he folded the garment and put it to the side with Naoko's before sitting back down on the bed.
With a yawn, the violinist stretched out beside the blond, putting one arm over him.
"You really were beautiful tonight." Ryu whispered, "But you're beautiful all the time, so I guess it was just another normal evening."

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

Downing the new glass, Naoko couldn't help but sigh softly once the contents were gone.
His body was warm... his head feeling light and funny...
The buzz was great, though it was tipping toward the side of drunk now.
"Normal..." Naoko whispered before laughing darkly. "What was normal about it, Ryu-kun? Dressed like a girl... hell, maybe I am a girl. Last time I checked down there though, I wasn't." he laughed again, reaching his arms up over his head and staring at the ceiling above. "Make up... disguises... ******** b*****d saw through it. Hell, you didn't even realize it was me at first, did you, Ryu? When you first saw me. I confused you. But he knew..." the pianist shook his head. "He knew..."
NAKO tried to sit up, but felt his head get heavy and fell back to the pillows. Turning his head to the side slightly, his amber gaze fell on the akuma beside him.
"Make me forget, Ryu-kun... I doubt you'll give me anything else to drink so... please.... make me forget him... Just for tonight..."
