Ishihara laughed softly, "You can mistake me for a chocolate bar any day." he teased, using his arms to pillow his head.
Dark eyes closed as he lay there, completely into the movements of his partner's hands.
"You're making me melt... pun intended. Maybe I should be an M&M instead." he stole a glance behind him. "Melts in your mouth but not in your hand?"
This line of thinking amused You, but he closed his eyes again with a genuine smile and thought over what Haru had said about the other things.
"Shou means well though... I mean, it IS the holidays... gifts should be actual gifts not checks. Then again I wouldn't look twice if someone handed me a nice blank check and had the bank account to back it up."
Like that would ever happen...
"I'd suggest just selling whatever he gives you... but... that'd be rather cruel. He really does adore you, Haru-kun. Almost makes me jealous." Ishihara teased with a smirk.
You couldn't help the slight groan that escaped him when a vertebrae popped nicely under Yamada's hands. It felt so damn good to just relax...
To not think about anything he didn't want to think about...
To not have to deal with the 'package' issue just yet...
"Who knows, maybe Shou will give you onsen passes, ne?" You laughed, thinking it would be damn ironic. "I mean, it IS technically a gift... which reminds me..." he looked over to his suitcase. "There's a box in my bag, a present. Shou wanted me to open it but he never gave me the time. I got it as a gift from the MeKA music industry Christmas party thing." yes he was a bit too relaxed to properly remember what exactly the party really was. "We could open it later."
"Wouldn't it be fun to watch his ghost ordering around someone like Nezumi?" Akihiko asked with a devilish smirk.
But then he sighed. "Lash out or not I need him to contact ojisan because you know as well as I do that the b*****d won't pick up if it's me. He can go to town on me if he wants... but I'm not about to waste OUR first Christmas together, manning a skeleton crew of drones just so that damned spider doesn't get any ideas and make a swipe at us." the musician laughed slightly, "Besides... worst that could happen if I have a few more bruises. Not like anyone would notice."
Because, truth be told, he had enough bruises to last a life time.
"So! What say you and I go pay Yuuji a visit, hmm? Best to get it over with now instead of letting him calm down... only to get all riled up again anyway." Narcissus said, sitting up and swinging his legs over the side of the bed.
Luckily, Izzy wouldn't have been able to see the wince.
For all of Michi's magic fingers... he was still in bad shape. No amount of ointment or ice pack was going to completely numb away the pain.
Best just to push through it.
After all, the young tiger didn't really have a choice in the matter.

......What a tangled web we weave......
"Mm..I could live with that. So does that mean I'm cracking the hard candy shell?" He chuckled under his breath then leaned down and licked up You's back. "Mm...I think there must be a peanut center because you're sure a nut sometimes."
Haru then dug in to knead the tight flesh. "Haha, muscle knots created by Shou himself. You've so many! I can't even imagine what would happen if I left you with him for too long."
"Yes, I suppose you're right. And no, I couldn't sell the gifts unless he comes up with something...really unsual. I wouldn't put it past him. Actually, I should be thankful he gives me a bonus at all. Better than working for Matsumoto-san, who rarely gives out any. Oh I doubt even Shou would give out a blank check. He might be crazy but he isn't an idiot!" Haru swatted You's butt behind him then returned to working on the mid back.
"But you're right. He does like me...sometimes too much. Glad he's not my type...eh?" his grin was like a Cheshire cat but he doubted he could ever get a spark of jealous out of You. Maybe it was because Haru didn't ever seriously consider others at least in that sense. He preferred the comfort and happiness of what he had.
"Well he told me he was going to the onsen so if he happened to give me those tickets I would be surprised...but...it would be nice." he said with a sigh. However the next words caught Haru's attention and he scan over towards the suitcase. "Really? Ooh..." Now his curiosity peeked.
"You said you got that gift at the MeKA Industry Christmas Party? YOU! Do you realize that those gifts there are rarely under $10000 in value?! The onsen package Shou received was a fortune. And you've not opened it yet??" Haru paused for a moment in utter disbelief before squeezing another knot and working it out. Oh he really wanted to jump up and pull out the package and watch You open it now. But...he had patience. It could wait until he finished with his lover's sore back.

"I don't think I could take that...honestly." The idea of having Nezumi involved with anything running Ohayou gave him a knot in his stomach. He just wanted to beat that man for treating Chiyou's career so badly. He should have been fired long ago in Izzy's opinion. And now to Izzy's knowledge he was working with Michi. Ugh.
"Ok but just be careful. Maybe you should just call his phone from here and talk to Yuuji that way. And wait! Those employees are not Drones! The are hard working men and women, who are giving up their holidays to make sure that Ohayou functions. You should be very thankful and proud of their efforts and commitment." Oh there was that manager in him rising up to defend those that he worked with. He had been one of those people and he wasn't about to let Akihiko bad mouth them.
Izzy may not have heard the wince but he saw the shift in the man's body. "I wish I could take the soreness away. I know you don't feel well. Just don't stir up Yuuji's temper. He's got so much on his mind. Mm...but if he does get angry, just remind him that this is about Hiroki not you. He really does need sometime to mourn and be with family." He hoped that both cousins could at least understand that much. This conversation should be about their problems. And even Yuuji was a victim of Aki's manipulations.

Akihiko help up a hand. "And that, my dear Izzy Lucky... is why I said what I said." then he smirked, leaning over to come just an inch away from the megane-clad man's face. "You can run Ohayou. Just listen to yourself." laughing he stood back up straight. "I literally suck at the business part of, well, this business... but I know how to create stars. We're a perfect team, that is if the old b*****d doesn't decide to heed my call and actually run the damn company while Hiroki takes some personal time."
Heading over to the door, Narcissus stopped. "I feel fine." he replied, though it was obviously a lie. "Aside from the bruises I'm right as rain... god why did I even say that?" he shook his head, feeling very unlike himself today. "Look, I'm not going there to stir up trouble. I'm just going to talk to him. Any sudden angry actions are strictly his doing, so if you hear me scream... or him scream... I probably did something in self defense."
A shiver ran down You's spine that he KNEW Haru would feel. "You're not playing fair. Liking my hard candy coating like that." the man teased but then Ishihara could only laugh.
"You know... I've never figured out what YOUR type is. I mean obviously that's me but I'm not particularly sure what about me is so damn fascinating." he was joking, kind of.
His relationship with Yamada had been going on for years... the two simply clicked. Like friends with benefits. But the holidays always brought them closer.
Because it'd been on a holiday such as this... that they'd first figured out their mutual attraction to one another.
Wincing, You covered his ears. "Not so loud." he laughed, peeking over his shoulder. "Go open it if you want to. I'm not in any hurry to do it but YOUR curiosity is just itching. Oh and for the record... airplanes."
It hadn't exactly been Shou that had given him stiff muscles and knots.
More like air travel.

......What a tangled web we weave......
Oh he definitely felt that shiver and it caused a smirk to form upon his lips. He seriously enjoyed making chocolate fondue. "I could eat up that shell..." He leaned in and nibbled on You's shoulder this time.
"My type? Mmm..." His brow furrowed as he thought about it and his fingers slowed on You's back. "Guys? Umm...You." he laughed, "Ok Ok. Umm if I had to think about it...I like smart, serious people. Looks are great but...I'm ok with average as long as they keep in shape. I really don't look around that much. I've never felt like I've been missing anything in my life since we've been together." Truthfully, he just hadn't any reason to look. He was happy and life was good at home. What more could he ask for....except..one less shark in the house. Ok, he could live with the shark as long as he didn't have to feed it or clean its tank.
As You peeked back he could see that Haru was probably pondering that box in the depths of his mind as he worked on You's back a bit more. He was paying attention to what he was doing but certainly he was sparked by curiosity.
He grinned, "Really? Ok.." He slipped off of You's back and walked over to the suitcase then dug for the box. Pulling it out, he hurried back over to the bed and sat closer to You's head so he could see. "Ooh...I wonder..."
Slowly....he unwrapped it, crossing his fingers that You had gotten something wonderful. Of course, if it was something for the Shark tank he would almost imagine the gifts were rigged and someone knew too much!

"Maybe I could...run Ohayou but lets not put the cart before the horse. You just need to learn Tact!" He quickly tapped the top of Akihiko's nose before the man could back off. "If you can talk to stars then you can learn not to call the other employees 'drones'. Good grief."
"Uh huh. I don't believe it but I know you're going to go talk to him anyway. I'll be listening for loud noise and if I hear them I will be coming. And if I have to come into that room I swear I might throw both of you over my knee and paddle your butts. Now go before I change my mind and go with you." Izzy crossed his arms in front of him as he sat on the bed.
After Akihiko walked out, Izzy got up and started pacing. So far, Yuuji had been hurt...his boy gone, maybe alive...maybe not. Hiroki's sister had been murdered. Really when could they go on the offensive? Was their anyway to get back at Matsumoto Izo? Take his toys? Hurt someone? That last part...he tossed out. He didn't want to become just like Izo. He didn't want Akihiko hurting people so he couldn't consider that option. But what could they do? If they had obtained Shou that would have struck Izo where it hurt. But they were never able to have true talks with the superstar. He knew that Akihiko had mentioned it...but...
Stopping there in his thoughts, he stopped pacing before the window and just stood there looking on the grounds. He wanted to go out on a drive again. Just to get away.

"Yes?" Ishihara teased.
It was common for him to get in a good jibe in regards to his name. Sometimes people said "YOU" (anata) and sometimes they said "You" as his actual name.
Knowing English made things so much more entertaining most of the time.
Granted it wasn't the ONLY language You was fluent in. Korean, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Thai, Indonesian, Hindi, French, German, Spanish, and Italian were all languages he could speak thanks to many many hours of study.
He was currently working on Russian... and already had a working knowledge of Latin.
It certainly made reading books much much easier, even if on occasion he would have to use his iphone to figure out if he had the proper translation or not.
It was one of the perks of working for Izo.
Matsumoto had forked out the money needed to allow Ishihara to learn those languages just to make transactions the globe over... easier.
Didn't mean flying was ever made easier though... not the aches and pains that accompanied it.
Course there had been that one time in Korean Air's first class...
"Wait, so are you saying I'm average?!" You asked suddenly, his dark eyes widening in surprise.
Sure, Ishihara wasn't a god of beauty like Shou or Narcissus... but he liked to think he was handsome in his own right...
Even if Yamada was far better looking...
But then of course Haru was suddenly distracted by the package and, with a soft smile, You indulged him.
But when he opened it...
"Okay so maybe going north isn't out thing this year?" he asked, looking at the vacation packages which had been the gift.
Ishihara's eyes nearly popped from their sockets and he sat up, taking the piece of paper that was an itenary and expenses broken down...
"Flight can be charged to the card within." he reach the instructions. "Other transportation can also be charged. The passes are for the Yachiyo Roukan in the Higashiyama area of Kyoto, Japan. Room for 2 for 4 nights is 432,000 ($5,604) and is a traditional garden room suite with private bath. This includes the Kaiseki Ryori 8-12 dish dinner. A Japanese-style breakfast is provided for an additional 2,100 ($21 cool . These passes include a 90 minute Maiko package at 72,000 ($935) which includes one Maiko and one musical performer. Another package included is a Tea Ceremony for 63,000 ($81 cool . The passes can be used at any time..."
Doing some damn fast math, Ishihara looked up at Ya,ada. "These are worth almost 584,000 yen (about $7,600), transportation not included!" his eyes were huge as he stared at it. "Haru-kun... I suppose Kyoto's a nice Christmas getaway, ne?" You asked with a smile. "PLUS we won't have a chance of running into Shou since he'll be north and we'll be south."

His fingers took out the papers carefully and then just looked at You as the man took them and started to read.
"I think next year I will take Shou to the MeKA Music Industry Christmas party." he whispered as his eyes widened while You went over the itinerary. This was a real vacation. A dream vacation! "I...I...can't believe you almost didn't take a gift." He recalculated the figures in his head and realized that gift was more than they'd ever spend on a vacation normally. In fact, Haru couldn't remember the last time he had been to a Ryokan. Maybe...when he was a child on a family trip?
"Kyoto would be a fantastic get away, You!" he instantaneously hugged You in his excitement and gave him a firm kiss on the lips. "How many years since we've gone on a vacation remotely like this? And you're right. Shou won't be anywhere near the Kyoto." he grinned as he pulled back thinking about how much fun they could have.
Sitting there for a few moments, he was completely breathless from You's good luck. "This is going to be the best Christmas ever. So when do you think you can go? Are you going to be off long enough? I'm sure that Shou won't be needing me for a few days since he's going north. Plus the other boys are done with the benefit gigs. Thank goodness. Those were really fast to turn around.' he said thoughtfully as he rubbed his temple.

"I'll have to get it cleared with Matsumoto but... I mean sure I think I can take off long enough." You replied.
But there was a nagging in the back of his mind.
Something told him that if he didn't get that 'package' back soon... he wouldn't be taking any sort of vacation.
Not only that but probably no raise... maybe even a pay cut.
Sighing, Ishihara looked at his partner. "Maybe I should go talk to him today... The sooner the better really. I mean, I know we had plans for movies today but... this is Kyoto we're talking about, Haru-kun. The vacation of a lifetime! If I can get Matsumoto's okay on this today, we can start figuring out what to pack, ne?"

Haru's shoulders slumped just a little. He didn't like Izo one single bit and he had doubts that You could swing the time from the man, "You're right, we can always see a movie in Kyoto...right? Mm..but I hope he'll give you the time."
"I'll wait to hear from you before deciding what to pack." he said with a soft smile wishing that You could get another job with a different label. He really didn't like how closely You had to work with the wicked spider. Even if it was VP PR, it still...well it still disturbed Haru. But he didn't think that You would leave Smash anytime soon even if he had thought that You could do better.
"So do you want to leave soon?" he said as he leaned in and kiss You gently; the buzz of his voice tickling You's lips "Mm...and as for a previous worry of yours. I think you're handsome, smart..and I'm highly attracted to...Y.O.U." Haru was never one to forget the little things; a devil in the details. He never once wanted You to think he meant anything less to him.

Akihiko really had no choice. Sure, he could call Aki, maybe hope to get the man's butler to answer the phone since even he screened the calls... and if it were a one in a million shot that he'd be able to talk to his grandfather, he might have tried it.
As things stood though, he highly doubted ever seeing the man again.
'To think my last memory of him will be the knowledge that he doesn't give a damn about me...' the musician couldn't help but think. 'After all that crying and worrying I did when I learned he was dying... only to...'
Sighing, the musician raised his hand and knocked on the guest room door that Crystal had bestowed to Yuuji on Izzy's later request.
For a moment, there was no answer.
He raised his hand a second time to knock, when the door suddenly opened. His cousin stood there, staring at him with a cold calculating gaze.
He's seen that look before... but not on Takagi.
"So... calmed down yet?"
One eyebrow twitched, "Piss off." he said, intending to slam the door in his cousin's face... when Akihiko's foot was suddenly wedged between the door and the frame.
"Actually, Yuuji-kun... I really DO need to talk to you." the musician spoke with a smile, trying his HARDEST to not tick the other man off.
After a moment, Takagi opened the door, letting Akihiko in before closing it quickly. He walked over to his laptop, which was on the desk, and sat down, ignoring his cousin for the most part.
"Make it quick. I'm busy."
Walking up behind him, the musician peeked over his shoulder. "With what?"
"Watching porn. What the hell do you THINK I'm doing?!" Yuuji snapped, showing him his email inbox and various messages straight from Aki himself. "My JOB, Akihiko. SHI-GO-TO. You should try it sometime. You MIGHT actually be productive now that you're not supposed to be as big of an a**."
Sighing, Narcissus crossed his arms over his chest. "Okay so that's the concussion and your missing son talking." the man spoke, beginning to lose his patience. "I'm here about something important, Yuuji. I..."
"What? You and Izzy have a helluva conversation about me? Decided to ditch me and elope? Or maybe you've figured out how to spin the coming disaster? I bet you're both going to tell me that protection isn't needed for either of you and that we should all just go right home. Maybe you'll..."
Narcissus couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed a magazine from the bed, rolled it up, and smacked Takagi on the back of his head hard.
"Just shut up for two seconds and let me explain!" the musician shouted angrily.
"Do that again and I'll rip your arm off." Yuuji hissed, not turning around, but finally shutting up.
Which was good because the young tiger knew his cousin could probably do it if he wanted to.
"This isn't about me or Izzy. Not really. It's about Hiroki, Yuuji-kun. I..."
"You want him to take time off and you've decided to run the company but you and Lucky really don't WANT to do that over your precious holiday so you've come to me to ask if I'll contact Aki and get you in touch with him even though it's AGAINST his direct order. Right?" Takagi spoke, picking up a piece of paper and writing out an email address.
He then handed it over his shoulder to his cousin. "That's Aki's private email. Only I have it. If you email him on that, he'll think it's me. If that doesn't work, I'll call and talk to him for you." Yuuji sighed, scrolling through his emails. "Hiroki's misfortune is just the tip of the iceberg. If Aki gives me the okay, we'll all, Michi included, return home tomorrow. I'll be calling him in the morning to ask about it, since my head should be okay by then. You two locked up in your house, Akihiko... will probably be safer than boring you to death in America."
Narcissus took the paper. "Thanks..." he said, turning and heading for the door. But he stopped, hand on the knob. "For what it's worth... I'm sorry."
But Takagi didn't say anything, and so Akihiko returned to Izzy's bedroom and dropped the piece of paper in his lover's hands.
"We'll use your email to send it. He's more likely to read something you send than something I do." Narcissus said with a smile, as if nothing in the world were wrong.

Ishihara noticed the slumped shoulders, but before he could say anything about it, his partner was answering an earlier question.
A sweet kiss... and a beautiful answer. Smirking, the PR man shook his head, "You're more handsome than me and you know it." he teased, returning the kiss with a gentle one as well.
"And hey... don't worry. Guess this means my massage is over, ne? I'll be back tonight... maybe we can have a romantic dinner out for a change? You pick the place. It'll either be a dinner of celebration, or one of drinking in defeat." the man laughed softly, moving to get off the bed.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I wouldn't have you any other way, You." he said with a smile and gladly accepted that kiss. He wished You didn't have to go see Matsumoto face to face. It always worried him as to what Izo would do to his partner. Haru couldn't protect You. Little did he know that You didn't need protecting. "I just worry about you when you go to see Matsumoto-san. He's doesn't have a...mm...good personality." That was putting it mildly but he definitely avoided showing the extreme of his hatred of Izo to You. He didn't want You to think he'd do anything against the Spider.
"If you're wanting to go see your boss right away I guess so." Haru pouted but he knew that You would have to go when he thought he'd be able to catch the man. "Mm...sure. I'll pick two options and when you return, we can go. It better be a celebration." Haru said as he grabbed You's shirt from the dresser and handed it to him.
"Don't for get the shirt." he said with a smile, "Lette and I will hold the fort while you're gone. I'm sure she will chew the arms off of any strangers I toss in the tank." he teased before walking down the hall to find his laptop. He might as well get some work done too before You got back. That way he wouldn't have to worry about Shou's schedule at all if things went well.

"He wouldn't call?" he asked as he took the email. Then sighed realizing that as dysfunctional as things had become he might as well handle this himself. So he walked over and opened the lowest drawer on his desk to pull out a very laptop and put it on the desk. "I never thought I'd be using this but it should get the job done." Covering the laptop was an array of stickers from various bands and several car brands.
Starting it up, he sighed and waited as the machined whirled for a few moments and finally brought up Windows 2000. Sitting down at his desk, Izzy typed a few things along in the screen and soon a browser popped up on the screen. Logging into Ohayou's system, he opened his email to the large downpour of stuff.
"Well at least I've not been axed from Ohayou's system yet." he smiled as he pulled up a window for his message.
------------------
Chairman Koyasu,
I am certain you were not expecting this email and I apologize for its suddenness. Recently, we've had contact with Sr. Executive Hiroki-san via phone and believe it would be in the best interest of Ohayou Studios to have him take leave of absence due to his sister untimely death. However, it is rather unlikely he will take this leave due to circumstances surrounding Ohayou current situation. However, putting him back to work after such an event seems to be counter productive.
It has been proposed to Sr. Executive Hiroki-san that Akihiko and myself take responsibility for Ohayou during its holiday season while only the skeleton crew is working. While he is concerned about the idea, he is not opposed. But, he is not the Chairman yet, thus, we are bringing this discussion to you.
I believe that there are a few options that could be brought to the table:
1. You allow us to run Ohayou for the Holiday Season.
2. You take up Ohayou as is your right while he is away.
3. You allow Takagi-san to perform in your stead.
However, I would not recommend Takagi-san as he has not been himself lately.
In closing, I would appreciate your wisdom in this matter and thoughtful regard. Ultimately, our concern is not for ourselves but for a man who has lost someone that gave his heart great joy. Please do not let our 'relationship' cloud judgement.
Sincerely,
Izzy Lucky
------------------
He glanced up at Akihiko and pointed to the send button. "If you think this works, hit send. Or if you want to add to it, go ahead and type that in." The letter was very business like and direct but also a certain amount of deference. Izzy wanted to avoid bringing his poor relations with Koyasu Aki to enter into the equation. Even if he wanted to tell the man off six ways to Sunday, he very much wanted to think of Hiroki first. "Then, we will just have to wait for him to reply...if he replies."

"If I come home to a tank full of blood and body bits, you're paying the cleaning bill." Ishihara teased as he buttoned up his shirt and grabbed a coat from the closet.
It was, after all, winter.
Putting his shoes on, the man shook his head. "Don't worry. I've dealt with the man for a long long time now. His bark is worse than his bite... sometimes." winking, You hurried out the door. "I'll be back soon!"
An hour later... Ishihara was knocking on Matsumoto Izo's office door, completely bypassing the notion of involving his secretary, on the top floor of SMASH.
Reaching over Izzy's shoulder, Akihiko hit 'send' and sighed. "He'll reply. Though maybe not right now because it IS late over there."
Turning around, the musician put his hands behind his head then carefully bent at the hips to the left, then slowly to the right, stretching his body as his blue gaze focused on the curtained window.
"I was thinking... we really should get Michi to have some fun... but then again we're under house arrest... But he needs it... hell we all need it..." he bent to the left at the hip again, then the right once more. "Any ideas, Ruki?"

What a shock, it was so surprising,
You looked so small and frail------------------------------------------------}:- Izzy Lucky
At times life can be so enlightening .uoy no nrut nac ti tuB
"Ideas? Uh...." A perplexed look came across Izzy's face. How would he know? It wasn't as if he had been having a lovely time lately either. Where was he suppose to whip up sudden entertainment? He knew that Michi had been staying in his room mostly and staying out of the way. And considering the crap between Yuuji and Akihiko, well he couldn't blame Michi for taking a very distance backseat.
He sighed for a moment and looked up at the ceiling. "There is an indoor pool past the gym on the first floor. Or we could go to the living room and watch the big screen. Or we could use the indoor studio to practice....Or...we could go out back and make a fire in the open pit and drink beers" He rattled off all those options and then said, "I can order pizzas and have them delivered." Inside he just wanted to say screw this and go out and get the pizzas himself. It was very irritating to be stuck at home in America and unable to enjoy his time. No vacation, No rest...Not even....well he had Akihiko but they really hadn't even...yeah...nothing. Too many problems to even just enjoy each other's company. And...now he wasn't even in the mood. With all this crap who would be?
Then he thought about how this all must appear to Akihiko and said softly, "Gomen, I'm just a little stressed...tired...unhappy...and exhausted. Its hard to think of fun things right now." he looked down and just held his head for a moment in the chair wanting to clear away all the heavy thoughts.

What I want, I get...
No matter the method------------------------------------------------}:-  Matsumoto Izo
Chairman - SMASH
In the Lair of the Spider...
Izo's sour mood after Azriel's departure had continued for hours afterwards until he finally had a whiskey and decided that he'd just have to make sure Azriel learned his place again after the tour...unless he brought home Hiroki Asato. Then maybe, just maybe Izo would tolerate the star's attitude for a time longer.
However, that time would be short lived if Azriel failed.
So Izo had been in several meetings and was actually preparing to leave the office when there was a buzz from his secretary about Ishihara-san.
"Let him in." Izo answered and the door clicked open to allow You entry. "I was just about ready to leave, Ishihara-kun. Do you have some good news for me?" he asked with a slight edge to his voice. It would be obvious to You that the man probably didn't have the best of days and that Good News probably pertained to a specific 'package'.
-:{------------------------------------------------No matter the cost.
...Prepare to pay up!

Stepping into Izo's office, You didn't waste any time. As soon as that door closed, he answered the spider's edged question.
"If by good news you mean that Shou is safe and sound at home then yes." Ishihara replied with a smile. "As for the 'package' you asked for... I'm going to personally comb the delivery destination tomorrow and ask witnesses and handlers what might have happened to cause it to be displaced."
The young man wasn't as stupid as to say anything that would even remotely give away any inclination as to WHAT that package was.
"On a less than bright note," Ishihara continued, walking up to Izo's desk directly. "Shou seems to be going out of town for the holiday with Naoko and what, if I remember correctly, seems to be Shou's nephew? I honestly had no idea the man had any siblings at all." You spoke before sitting down across from the desk.
Of course he had no idea that this nephew and the package could be one in the same. He just thought it best to notify Izo so the man didn't have a heart attack with Shou gone... again.
"They're going to an onsen up north... tickets he got from the music party in America." parts of this he'd gotten from Shou himself, but most had come from Haru.
He really didn't like telling information that he got from his partner... BUT having Izo in a good mood was crucial... and knowing Shou was in good spirits was a quick way to that good mood.
Crossing one leg over the other at the knee, he continued once more. "I heard Azriel has a broadcast concert tonight so I'm looking forward to watching that while I eat dessert. His tastes are rather... well glorious to be honest." Ishihara couldn't help but smirk at that. "Oh and I've already sent some emails through the proper media channels in regards to the Narcissus campaign sooooo expect the media to pick up on it tomorrow. I didn't want him getting the spotlight DIRECTLY after Azriel's stage triumph so I'm having them hold the information until the morning news."
Carefully, You withdrew a strawberry flavored mini-cigar and lit it, taking a few puffs. Standing, the man offered one, licorice flavored, to the spider.... just in case.
Yes, Ishihara knew his boss's fondness for the flavor.
"I also came to speak with you about... other matters. I do hope this isn't a bad time, Matsumoto-san?" he asked, not wanting to dive into vacation time and a raise right after delivering his productivity news.
Pausing, Narcissus didn't say anything after Izzy's apology. He didn't even move really. Just remained where he was, hands behind his head, back arched just enough to stretch the muscles easily.
Glancing over his shoulder, those blue eyes took in his lover's defeated form, and the man couldn't stop the frown on his face. Even though Izzy wouldn't be able to see it from his position...
"Getting me drunk sounds fun." Akihiko spoke, turning around, arms still behind his head. "Besides... you drunk... me drunk... your bedroom... I can see a very VERY nice combination there... MUCH better odds than other times lately, ne?" the musician spoke with a smile. "Besides, I heard beer tastes great with American pizza... and since I've never had an American pizza and it's been forever since I've had a beer..." he straightened up then reached a hand out to Izzy, palm up, as if asking him to accept it. "Besides, Michi keeps saying he wants to have a few beers with us."
