Ryu paled as he realized just how badly his lover was taking the little slip. "I didn't mean any harm...it was a long time ago...when we were having that rough patch...when Hayato was still in the coma and..." it was futile, trying to explain himself. Naoko was in a rage, and he couldn't talk himself out of this. Then before he knew what was happening, Naoko grabbed a vase and flung it at his head. The glass narrowly missed him as he fell back against the wall trying to dodge. Trying to dodge...he couldn't dodge... There was Naoko...swinging something at his head. He was being held by his throat...he wanted to dodge...why was Naoko hurting him? What was going on? Wide eyed, Ryu didn't hear, or at least didn't understand what his lover was saying anymore. Instead, he just pressed his back against the wall, his fingers clinging to the surface of it as though he just wanted to sink into it and disappear. Naoko left, and, after a moment, Ryu moved, slipping off the bed and sitting in the floor, curled into the fetal position. Naoko had hurt him. Naoko had bashed his head in. Why? What had happened? Was it a nightmare? Had...had Naoko lied? Was the other Hayato even real? He didn't want to think about it right now. Right now, all he wanted to do was cry... ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~
~( Believe me ) Osorenai de~
~Shinjiau koto....~
~FOR YOU~

Chiyou smiled as he read the text back, immediately sending another in return.
Awesome! I can't wait to see you! Will do. smile
Giggling to himself, Chiyou went to the dresser and slipped into the clothes that he had been brought in wearing...the same sexy getup he had had on earlier that day.
Peeking out the door, he made sure nobody was around, then ran to the nearest elevator, took it down, and hurried outside where he hailed a cab.
Off to Minina's cafe!

"I'll be fine, Tanaka-san." Akihiko replied as they headed toward the restaurant. "You won't need to answer questions for me... because I'll decline to comment to anyone. Shou-san needs to know what's happening, and I fully intend to... well... apologize. I should be at his side during interviews and instead, I've been stuck in the hospital."
Alright, so it really wasn't like Narcissus to apologize. But he knew the rigors of having to do a post-show media session.
And apparently, Shou had been doing them pretty much alone.
However, the question about the dvd startled him for a moment. "I watched some of it... I didn't exactly hear my own songs..." the musician looked out the window. "I wish I had... but I was so angry with Lucky-san about the interviews... about this... this doppelganger..." laughing softly, Akihiko shook his head. "I'll watch it soon. Yakusouku..."
But then he looked to his new "chauffeur". "So.... you're not used to the high life, are you?" the young Koyasu asked, blue eyes taking in the way his clothes clung to Michi's body perfectly. "Seems like you're one lucky physical therapist to be able to enjoy the finer points of an artist's life... without having to actually produce music. Unless, of course, you're thinking of taking Nezumi-san up on his offer."

"Brat?!" Nakai shook his head, snatching up the pants before Izzy could pick them up.
He held them up in the air over his manager's head. "Insulting your star! And when he's holding your pants no less!" the blond teased before tossing them in a laundry bin.
Then, with a soft smile, he shook his head. "You're not putting those back on. And don't get all blushy with me. I'm merely suggesting you wear this..."
From behind the closet door, Nakai pulled out a pair of very nice pajamas. They wouldn't be too hot, but they'd be comfortable and keep Izzy from having to reveal any flesh aside from his feet, neck, head, and hands.
A dark green with white stitching, they were positively the definition of soft.
Kai handed them to his manager, keeping that smile in place. "There are slippers to match. I um... was actually planning on giving these to you as a gift um... you know... after I cut a new CD and all... to thank you for your hard work but... well..." nervously rubbing the back of his head, Kai laughed softly. "Looks like you need them now more then later, ne?"

When Naoko made it to the cafe, it was raining.
For some damn reason, it was always raining... cold... wet... rain...
He got inside while remaining fairly dry, and sat down at a table in the back, telling the waitress he was expecting someone else. Then he quickly ordered an amaretto spiked coffee.
As the blond sat there, waiting, he went over what had happened with Ryu in his mind. Why shouldn't he have been pissed? His lover had kissed their boss and apparently kissed Sai too and, to top it all off, Sai and Shou were the same man... so Ryu had kissed his brother twice!
His brother...
A brother that had betrayed him and slept with Hayato... well, with Jun...
Had he liked it as much as Naoko had in the beginning?
Had he enjoyed himself in that perversion of love?
If so, what did it make all the times where Naoko and Sai had been together?
Shaking the thought from his mind, the pianist wrapped lithe fingers around the hot coffee mug and just sat there, staring into the dark liquid, letting the steam fog up his glasses.

He hoped he wasn't late as he ran through the rain out of the cab and into the cafe. Speaking to the hostess, the blond was directed to the back of the cafe where he quickly found NAKO.
"Naoko-san!" he beamed, sliding into the curved booth, sitting rather close beside the pianist.
"I hope I didn't keep you waiting. Wow...it's been a long, long time, ne? How have you been?" he asked, in a bit of a hurry to catch up with the man he had only met once at that party...where the pianist had been wearing such a beautiful kimono.
As the waitress stopped by again, the kid ordered a green tea bubble tea and a chocolate cupcake with cream cheese icing.
"So what are you drinking, Naoko-san?" he asked, eager to converse.
Always so happy and eager, he seemed....though nobody would fathom the turmoil so much deeper below the boy's mask. He seemed the picture of perfect happiness.

Let the Memories of the Evening be...
the first think that you think of------------------------------------------------}:-  Tanaka Michi
Physical Therapist
Fingertips...walking up your spine...a tongue sliding right behind..
Michi didn't comment about the doppleganger. He didn't think that the previous Akihiko was the doppleganger. But what he couldn't really say that to Akihiko because well, this man was real enough too. It just he didn't remember how he was growing. That really frustrated Michi because he guessed that the man had grown more in those 3 months than he had in a long time.
"I'm sure you'll get to listen to it soon. Don't you have a copy of the dvd or did Ishi-san take it with him?" he asked as he continued to drive.
"Me, nah...you know my mother used to work with Ishi-san's younger stars taking care of sprains and such. By chance that day, she had a fight with my dad and she couldn't come so she sent me. I really have just started out in my career. Had some bad client too... salary men downtown. Believe me, when Ishi-san told me who I was going to be helping, my only knowledge of you had been from a previous girlfriend, who dumped me because I couldn't afford to get tickets to your show a couple years back." he laughed at the thought.
"Never thought I'd be taking care of you're health or...spending extra time with you on the side. She'd be pulling her hair out and screaming if she knew." he smirked as he stopped at a light and glanced over at him. "I'm not too sure about Nezumi-san's offer. He wanted Asato-san to hear me from that cd. Not sure...what to think of that really. Rather have you tell me if my voice is good enough, at least I know you'll give me a real answer."
As the light turned green, he spotted Luna, "Valet parking...first time I've used that too!" Yes, he was very green to the world of stars. Probably a good thing that he was with someone who knew plenty about this harsh world.
-:{------------------------------------------------when you open up your eyes and see me.

What a shock, it was so surprising,

"Yes Brat!!" he jumped for the pants that were well out of reach holding his towel tight to himself. "KAI!!!" He leaped for the pants but missed as they went neatly into the hamper.
"But I don't..." he was stopped when the suggestion was offered. And he blinked a little at the very nice pair of PJs. "Awh...kawaii..." he said with almost a kid like voice. Obviously Izzy liked soft comfy PJs and the color green. "Really? there are slippers too?!"
He snugged the soft PJs against himself wanting to put them on but...well Kai was standing there and Izzy was a little self conscious. "Oh so a gift telling me to catch up on some sleep?" He smiled at how thoughtful Kai was. "I guess I do....Thank you, Kai. I really like them a lot." A small blush peaked on his nose and cheeks. Kai really was a sweety when he wasn't being a pervy star.
It was even more cute when Kai rubbed his neck with that nervous habit. Izzy giggled just a little. You know you're just incorrigible. I should get into these...so...scoot."

I grabbed the tiger by the tail!

"Hmm?" looking up, seemingly distracted, Naoko cracked a smile. "Chiyou-san... sorry I couldn't come up with somewhere fancier. I just didn't want a lot of attention, you know?" the pianist spoke before scooting over JUST enough to give the younger star more room.
"Actually, it's an amaretto spiked coffee... I needed something to warm me up. Damn cold outside... again." he sighed, amber gaze focusing on the broad windows. "Seems like it's always raining lately..."
But then he shrugged and looked back to Chiyou. "So! How's everything going? I got to see some of your set at the concert. Didn't think you had that much talented all bottled up." the blond teased.

"You should gloat to her." Akihiko spoke, putting on his shades before the valet's opened his door.
Stepping out, he was literally assaulted by bulb flash after flash. The musician smirked, holding a hand up to somewhat ward off the barrage of lights."Narcissus-san, any word on when you'll be on stage with Shou-san again?""Narcissus-san, a comment for your fans?""How do you feel the concert went, Narcissus-san?""Is there any truth to the rumors about you and your manager, Izzy Lucky?""Narcissus-san, what's next on your schedule?"
Question after question after question... but Akihiko didn't say anything. Instead, he waited for Michi.
Of course, the man had his own share of questions..."How are you connected to Narcissus-san?""Do you know him personally or professionally?""Is this a date for the two of you?""Have you replaced Izzy Lucky in the eyes of Narcissus-san?""Are you an up and coming face at Ohayou?"
Thankfully however, Akihiko grabbed Michi by the wrist and dragged him through the throng. Once inside, a waiter apologize and showed them to a table.
Finally sitting, Narcissus removed his glasses and focused very calm, serene blue eyes on his physical therapist. "Hope they didn't scare you away, Tanaka-san." he teased lightly.

"No, no, don't be sorry. I like little places like this. It's cozy, and the food is yummy!" he giggled, thanking the waitress as she brought his cupcake and tea.
"Ohhh...Amaretto coffee....sounds delicious! I dunno why I always drink such cold drinks even in the winter. I'm just silly like that, I guess." he grinned, sipping the bubble tea and leaning back against the booth, picking up the cupcake and licking at the frosting with his cute pink tongue.
"Mm...well, things are pretty good, I guess. Had a lot go on since the concert. Ups and downs, but I'm super happy no matter what, ya know! Wow...thanks..." he blushed as he was complimented, "I definitely did my best. It was a fun show. Your piano playing was so...haunting. It was really like watching an angel play." he looked into Naoko's amber eyes with his sparkling blue. Eyes that seemed to have stars in them, filled with joy.

"Oh... OH right!" Nakai turned around quickly, trying to give Izzy his own privacy.
In the mean time, he walked over to a huge cabinet and opened the doors, revealing a very nice yet big television.
"I've got every channel imaginable... AND a wonderful surround sound system. So, if you want a movie or show to fall asleep by... or maybe some music... I can do that easily." the blond spoke, peeking over his shoulder when he figured his manager had finished dressing.
Turning fully, the guitarist smiled. "AND, whatever you want for a midnight snack or drink, I've got that too more than likely. You name it, I'll find it." he winked mischievously. "Remember... I DID say I was gonna take care of you, Izzy. You don't have to thank me for the pajamas. You've certainly earned them with how much attention I've gotten from that benefit concert."

A sad smile crossed Naoko's lips. "A fallen angel perhaps..." the blond replied before shaking his head slightly. "Gomen nasai, Chiyou-san. I wasn't quite in the mood to meet with anyone today but... well... I couldn't turn down an offer. Especially not when I had nothing else planned."
The pianist sipped his coffee, enjoying the warmth. "Happy all the time, ne? I suppose that's good to hear. Especially if you have something to be happy about."
He had, of course, noticed that devilish tongue. But at the moment, he wasn't feeling very mischievous himself.
At other times, he probably would have flirted a bit more, and openly.
It was a sad notion... to think that even though there was a gorgeous young man sitting beside him, he didn't really have the heart to flirt.
Though, that wouldn't stop him if he got in the mood...

"Fallen...tenshi?" the young blond repeated, seeming puzzled.
"I can't believe you have nothing else planned...someone as...as beautiful...as you." Chiyou said, rather hesitantly, as he reached over and brushed Naoko's more golden hair back out of his face and tucked it behind his ear.
He hadn't come to flirt...well, not exclusively...but there was something that seemed rather sad about the pianist tonight.
Besides, the kid knew better than most what it was like to need somebody, for whatever the reason.
"Heh...well, I guess I don't have anything in particular to be happy about...but I could use something." he smiled, deciding to just let it go and come on to the older star.
What's the worst that could come of it?

"Something?" Naoko asked, turning his head slightly to lock his gaze with Chiyou's own exclusively.
He felt how the younger man moved his hair away, how the gaze was directed to him... the words holding a deeper meaning than what was seen on the surface.
Smirking ever so slightly, the blond quirked one eyebrow at Chiyou. "No. I didn't have anything else planned. Ryu wanted to go out for ramen but... things change..." he replied, his voice dropping to a slight whisper. "And this, I think, is far better than ramen."

"Oh? So you and Ryu still hang out? Heh...well, I guess if this is better than that, though...I must be a lucky man tonight!"
Picking up what he perceived to be Naoko's cues that things were ok, Chiyou let his arm drift over the pianist's shoulders, leaning closer to the beautiful megane-clad star.
This wasn't Ishi...this wasn't Nakai...but this was what he hoped would turn out to be a warm, happy night with someone he thought to be sweet...as well as delicious.
But he promised himself he wouldn't put any emotion into things this time.
No...not this time. Not again. He'd have the affection he needed, but put nothing of meaning into it.
Besides, according to Nakai, this was how it was supposed to be. Take the beauties, have them, then move on.
For a moment, he pondered what it would be like to have both Nakai and Naoko in the bed...but he doubted such a thing would ever happen.
Popping the rest of his cupcake into his mouth, Chiyou sipped his tea again.
"So...what do you want to do when we leave here? You gonna go home...or...come back to my place?" he asked, very hopeful.
It would be fine if he went home alone...but he did want the company. It had been a rough day, and he could use the distraction, if nothing else.
