Doing what one does best...getting beat upon
Once in the car, Hiroki wiped the CD off on his suit and shoved it into the disc player once they were settled into the limo. Michi's voice filled the car as Hiroki leaned his head back and tried very hard not to bleed all over the seats. "Nnngh...The music is good. Ngh...it hurts...." he tried not to complain but it just came out.
"So this is the physical therapist's voice? Mmn?" His head rolled over just a little toward Nezumi. His face looked a vary bit on the side of bad as the bruises set in at the cheeks.

"Well that's a relief. Or we'd be doomed to toast and water." answered Michi as he dipped another fry and munched it down. "Maybe Ishi-san just never was taught to cook?"
"I know you don't want it but, you need to. You can't live off of one meal a day not with your kind of work. Unless you want me to get you protein drinks or check you back into the hospital." Of course, Michi wasn't quite prepared for the outburst of violence and sat up from his relaxed state with a start.
"Crap. Give me that!" He grabbed Akihiko's hand and pulled the table's bar light up close then started picking out the glass himself. "Ok look you're cranky and I know you've got a temper but self destruction is not the answer. Even with the problem you have. Maybe when we go to Hawaii you should get some rehab help. Somewhere you can get some counseling so you're not hurting yourself like this. At least it would be private and away from all the day to day fans. Because you're not helping you by doing this. Izzy's going to be pissed if he finds out you're not eating. And your fans don't want skin and bones." Michi was very serious about this. Heck he thought about calling up the doctor right now and checking Narcissus back in or taking him directly to a rehab center. But a part of him was afraid of what that might do to his career with all the paparazzi around.

kawaita tsumori ame ga tsuzunaku katari kakeru namida wa seijaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeruA kittenish grin crept along Chiyou's lips as he heard he would not be having his Kai-bear taken away after all. This...pleased him very much. Very, very much indeed. "Ah! Leaving me already! Well, I suppose you need rest yourself. I feel like I've slept for days. Weird, right? Heh. Of course I'm staying with Kai. I wouldn't leave him for anything. Especially not now. I couldn't if I tried." the kid leaned over and stretched out beside the guitarist, wrapping his arm and leg over the older blond's body like a giant teddy. karada o tsutau ame ni furueru awai omoi guren no yuuwaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeru

"Hai, this is Narcissus' physical therapist, Tanaka Michi. I think he could be marketed just under the name Michi, or, possibly, Taka." the manager spoke softly, moving closer to the acting chairman, removing the man's glasses for him and placing them in his own pocket.
"Please, relax sir." he soothed, brushing a strand of the man's fine hair behind his ear as he cupped the man's cheek with the other hand, examining the bruising.
Reaching into the limo's cooler, he pulled out a small, ice cold bottle of water and began to lightly, gently roll it up and down against Hiroki's cheeks, trying to soothe the inflammation.

Akihiko licked his lips, wincing when a particularly large shard of glass was pulled from his palm. "Look, I'm not using drugs or anything. There's no rehab to be had because I'm not on anything. Except painkillers, but those are for a damn good reason and..." he shook his head. "And I keep breaking damn glasses all the time. I don't mean to. I just get... well... angry... and I'm drunk. Not drunk enough to be stupid but I know I'm not in complete control of my body at the moment." he sighed, shaking his head again. "I'm not an angry, drunk, Michi. Not a violent one either. It... it makes me sleepy... not more energetic or talkative or any of that normal s**t."
Which was true.
Whenever Akihiko got flat out wasted, he slept. He didn't get mad or start fights or anything like that.
He just wanted sleep.
Lots of sleep.
He let Tanaka tend to his hand as he spoke. "Protein drinks... that might help. I don't know I just can't make myself eat. I tried. Got half a piece of toast down the last time before I wanted to throw it up." the musician had no problem talking to Michi about things like that...
Because Michi understood...
They were on the same page...
"I've thought about using, yeah... seriously considered it in Hiroki's office... just giving everything up and letting it consume me... but I don't WANT to, Michi." his blue eyes focused solely on the physical therapist before him. "But I don't have anyone to turn to about this. I mean there's you... but Izzy can't know... Hiroki can't know. Can you even fathom how frustrating it is? Having to do this alone?"

What a shock, it was so surprising,

"Ah...well..I need to get some sleep before the trip tomorrow." Izzy felt kind of bad for leaving so soon but it was pretty late already and he don't know how he'd handle Narcissus and Shou without some sort of rest.
But at least Kai-bear, was going to be taking care of Chiyou-kun. Although, Izzy still wasn't sure what to think about all that "If you have any problems while I am away, send me a text. I'll have my phone with me most of the time. I'm going to look for a new car while I'm there while Narcissus and Shou do their tele-conferencing."
He gave Chiyou another big warm hug then smiled a bit as he pulled away and watched the two blondies. They really did look adorable together but oh god...poor Kai if Chiyou was already this attached. "Ok...you snuggle with your bears and when I get back we will get together and have pizza."
He headed to the door and slipped out not long afterwards. Taking a deep breath, he was still surprised that Chiyou let him leave so easily. Had to be because he had fallen for Kai. Was he going to come home to a nightmare when he returned. Kai wasn't exactly Mr. Faithful - I'm A One Man Guy Type. No Kai was, like Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled..P....Oh shoot.
By the time Izzy got back to his apartment with his bodyguards, he was feeling beat. He saw that his bags were packed and placed by the door. So he walked in to the bedroom and looked around it's rather empty space then got into PJs and slipped under the thick comforters with the electric blanket. It was going to be cold again...
Staring up at the ceiling, counted the beads of texture...just wishing he could have a good night sleep.

"Ah..so Michi...or Taka...Mmm...well he does have a good voice. Kind of strange hearing someone else sing Narcissus' songs. It's a very different feeling to the music." he responded though obviously the talking mixed with breathing was rather painful for him because he squinted and tried to avoid wincing too much.
"So if Tanaka-kun takes this step to stardom...how would you go about his move into this world? What is your game plan? This man isn't a star but he has talent. How would you handle him?" Of course, he had to ask this considering what happened with Chiyou. But even more so, he didn't want a potential star ruined, if Nezumi decided he didn't want do his job. That part frustrated Hiroki....he wasn't sure why Nezumi failed to perform.
But then he was told to relax and took a breath through his mouth and tried to close his eyes for awhile. The fingers were soft and felt good. The ice bottle felt better. He was tired too...just wanted to take a nap.
Soon, he was napping...snoozing on Nezumi's shoulder.

Physical Therapist
Fingertips...walking up your spine...a tongue sliding right behind..
"Rehab isn't just for those that are trying to get off the stuff but people that need help figuring out methods to stay off the stuff. Look, I know you've got an addictive personality. Smokes, drinks, partners...etc. You know you need help too. Maybe you're anger would go down if you felt like you were getting the help you need." He wanted to make sure that Akihiko could see other paths to choose. He didn't have to go it alone. There were people that helped with problems like these all the time.
"You don't have to do this alone, we just need to get you some counseling and help on how to manage all this. You're not alone dealing with this. I'll help you find a good place to find some private counseling in Hawaii. At least, get things started so you don't wear yourself down anymore than you have fighting this." he continued as he picked out the rest of the glass, "We'll get you help, I promise. This isn't an easy thing but you and I will figure it out and you will get control of it."
Once Michi wiped off the hand with a napkin, he looked at the time. "I think I should take you back home, now. It's getting late and we got a plane in the morning."

"Well, naturally, it would have to start with getting him a vocal coach. He's got the talent, but it needs refining. A dance teacher at the same time would be needed. At least three hours a day of vocal and five hours a day of dance starting out. He's been exposed to the rigors of practices and backstage life during his physical therapy work, so he knows what to expect of that. Hm...I'd need to help him craft a look, as well. And...work on his confidence. I'm sure he has fine self confidence, but a star needs more than fine confidence." he prattled off.
Of course, he was never this concerned about Chiyou. Really, he thought Chiyou was a waste of his time. The kid was a rebellious druggie...and...well...Chiyou hadn't taken to him the way he had with Izzy Lucky. It...it had hurt, so he had turned his back on the boy.
Truth be told...he had been...rather enamoured with Chiyou. He had hoped that perhaps the star would have become attached to him like he had been with his former manager...but it hadn't been like that at all. He had been shunned immediately, no matter how kind he had tried to be. He finally just...stopped caring. It had never really been an issue of him being a poor manager....he had simply had a broken heart.
But...he would never tell a soul. Not ever.
When he looked up, Nezumi noticed that Hiroki had drifted off. Probably due to the stress, he imagined.
It was cute, the way the man slumped against his shoulder.
Leaning back against the seat, Nezumi took Asato into his arms and held him as the vehicle swayed gently on the way through town.

Strangely, Akihiko didn't argue with the idea. "I don't want Izzy to know... or Hiroki." he reiterated. "Certainly not the paparazi. No doubt Yuuji will figure it out but he can keep a secret... well, he'll probably tell ojisan but other than that his lips will be sealed." sighing, the musician nodded. "Yeah... we should go before I..."
But then he remembered the text.
Pulling his phone out of his pocket with the uninjured hand, he read what Izzy had said and slowly sent a reply.
My smile? Thinking of fond past memories, I take it?
It wasn't a lot... but it did make the man wonder.
Was Izzy remembering the past him... or the him from today?
Was it a lost cause to tease and flirt with his manager?
A man who he could vaguely remember a relationship with outside of work... a rather kinky one at that.
Oh how Narcissus just wanted to remember something for once that wasn't sex related.
Well... he kind of had... a couple times... but they were always quickly overshadowed by sensual pleasures...
"I need to visit Chiyou first. I promised I'd see him before I left for vacation." with that, Akihiko stood and paid the bill, dropping a nice wad of cash on the table before leading the way outside.
Strangely, the musician didn't say anything else to Michi in the car either. He didn't talk about getting help... didn't acknowledge the conversation at all.
He simply stared out the window...
Not long later they arrived at the hospital and Narcissus slipped in a side entrance, charming a nurse for Chiyou's room number, before going up to the proper floor (via elevator... stairs were a bit too much for the inebriated man) and knocking on the door.
"Chiyou-kun, you awake?" Akihiko asked as he cracked open the door, peering inside.

kawaita tsumori ame ga tsuzunaku katari kakeru namida wa seijaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeruIt had been a while since Ishi had left. Nakai was still resting, out like a light. Seemed the guitarist slept like a rock when he needed to. There came a knock at the door and a familiar voice called out to him, and Chiyou just beamed! "Akihiko-niisan!!!" he replied cutely. "Please, come in!" As the brunette entered, Chiyou sat up, grinning ear to ear as he faced the door, bandaged eyes trained right on the man as though he could see, which, quite obviously, he couldn't. karada o tsutau ame ni furueru awai omoi guren no yuuwaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeru

Izzy heard the buzz of his phone on the table and he picked it up as he hide under his comforter. The warm light of the phone glowing in the darkness. He stared at the message for a long time. That question was one that reminded him of Yuuji's conversation with him hours before.
But indeed, he had remembered smiles from the past...but today's smiles at the meeting were vivid memories and well, it was what he had thought of when he had wrote the previous text even if those smiles hadn't been directed at him but at the work they had been doing.
So he returned a text message:
Yes, Your smile. No...recently. It's been awhile since I've seen that smile and yes, it did bring up fond memories but it also gave me a sweet new one. It's nice to see you smiling again. I've missed it.

Walking, Akihiko was a bit surprised to find Nakai.
Especially to find him asleep on Chiyou's bed.
"Awkward..." the musician murmured to himself before smiling slightly, even though Chiyou couldn't see it. "Sorry... didn't expect to see Nakai here too. Damn, Chiyou... what'd you do to him? He's totally unconscious." the elder man spoke, though he walked up to Chiyou's side of the bed and put a hand on the 'kid's' shoulder. "I only learned about what happened a couple hours ago. Everyone must have thought me too delicate to tell right now." Narcissus couldn't help but bite his lip. "So you got a transplant, ne? How's it feel?"
Sure, he didn't feel close to Chiyou... but the 'kid' was part of Ohayou.
And... he'd saved Akihiko's life...

kawaita tsumori ame ga tsuzunaku katari kakeru namida wa seijaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeru"Hm? Oh...Kai-bear is really tired. He hasn't slept much, but he's been by my side the whole time." Chiyou smiled warmly, stroking the guitarist's hair absently. "I understand. You're busy. I wouldn't say you're too delicate, though." the kid laughed as though he were used to joking with the man. "The transplant? Eh...it feels kinda weird I guess...but not as bad as having two empty holes in my head. Now that was weird. How have you been? You really scared the hell outta me that night. I'm glad that you're better now. In better shape than me, even!" Chiyou made light of his situation, being as friendly as he could without upsetting Akihiko, trying to sort of listen to what Izzy had told him. karada o tsutau ame ni furueru awai omoi guren no yuuwaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeru

"Mmnn.. yes, he's not as confident about other things as he is about his work. I could tell that from talking to him. But maybe he's just cautious." His nose had become a faucet it seemed because when he spoke he could feel it dripping into the kleenex stuff up there that were probably soaked.
"So he's going to be a lot of work it sounds like. And where do you think you can take him in say...mmm...5 years?" questioned Hiroki trying to see a little deeper into this man's idea of Michi's future. Had he thought that far?
"Yes, I liked the way he dressed at the event. I think that was Nikki's work. Nnnngh....I need to get that guy on our payroll too. Part of Jaz's Indie bunch...Gah. Need to ask Izzy about the paper work there. Oh good grief. So much to do. I don't have time for nose surgery!" he grumbled beffor he fell asleep. The man needed sleep more than he knew it.
Didn't take too long to get to the hospital but by the time they got there Hiroki was really sleeping cozy in Nezumi's arms. He hadn't even realized that he had done it but his dreams were quiet at least.
The driver got out and peered into the back then went and got a wheelchair and a nurse, "Nezumi-san, do you wish to stay here or should I drive you home?" Asked the driver as he helped get the sleeping Hiroki into the chair.
