"Is that a threat or a promise?" Ryu came back at Kou's comment about tongue snatching, making a joke of it like a grade-schooler. It was a bit tempting, though...the thought of Kou snatching his tongue...in a kiss.... That posed another question in the violinist's mind....was it wrong for friends to kiss? Indeed, Minamoto Ryu was as stupid as he was talented. "Hey, but I wouldn't write a song about such things. Songs are about beauty...and...ever since we met, I've seen more than enough beauty in you to write several songs..." the star waxed poetic, completely unaware of all the romantic connotations just about everything he said or did contained. "I would love to spend time with you on New Year's!" he agreed without even thinking about it, or the consequences such a promise might entail. Sliding off the bean bag and into the floor, Ryuukaze reached into Kou's knitting basket and took out the needles and thread he had been working with the night before, beginning his second coaster. "Do...do I really look like Elmo?" he asked, looking up at the host with childlike eyes after a long moment of silence. Sometimes he really was ridiculously cute. ~ Sou boku no sekai wo nurikaete mitai ~

"Both!" Kou teased while wondered the implications behind that. Of course, how would he snatch that tongue? With his fingers? With his lips? The lips would be far more...interesting. However, he wasn't going to snatch a kiss without being sure of the situation between them. He knew there was someone else that he didn't know in the shadows - a person who had a prior claim on the musician.
"Oh shush....You're going to make me blush." And even as he said that he was blushing anyway. "But wait. Aren't these coasters, beautiful too?" He picked up a random one then tossed it Ryuu's way. He was joking of course but he was in a good mood so he flowed with the feeling.
"Alright! Then I'll make sure to get off early since they owe me for the shift. Mm...I won't have time to get food sooo...um...do you want me to pick up something fast for us on the way? Do you want to meet me here?" he asked as he finished the first row of the new sweater.
"Oh..no you don't really look like Elmo! I was just fooling around. I like the red hair. But most importantly, you must like your hair." he pointed out as he picked up a different yarn and placed it on his lap so he could mentally prepare the next few lines of the sweater. "Your hair is fun and lively. And if you think it reflects your music and the image you want to show your fans that's great."
Kou glanced over at the musician wondering what he was thinking. That puppy dog look reminded him of a kid. Maybe Elmo wasn't too far off because the man did look cuddly like that.

It was impossible not to notice the blush on Kimura's gorgeous face. It was beautiful. Beautiful like Kou's voice. Beautiful like his kind heart and sweet smell, beautiful like the flavor of his kisses, and the softness of his skin... Ryuukaze didn't care if it had all been at the host club, if it had been something attached to "work". He knew there was something there, something beautiful... He just knew it... Kou's blush...it confirmed it. That desire seemed to stir within' him again, peeking out behind the veil of denial the violinist had so skillfully built, convincing himself he was only interested in this person as a friend. Ryu didn't bother answering any questions, responding to any comments. He'd been too busy thinking, his mind moving a mile a minute. The childlike expression changed in a mere moment into a deeper, more aware gaze. He was totally infatuated with Kimura Kou...and Naoko...well...he simply couldn't...wouldn't...anymore. He had offered to fix things. And...was that even really what he had wanted at all, or was he simply doing it out of a sense of honor? Whatever... In a smooth, fluid motion, Ryu pushed himself up on his knees and kissed the host full on the lips, his lithe fingers framing the man's face gently, his lips warm and tender against the other man's. ~ Sou boku no sekai wo nurikaete mitai ~

It all happened so suddenly that Kou was quite surprised. First there was this moment of, "Murph!" as their lips pressed together and his eyes opened wide then a slow easing into that gentle kiss. His eyes slowly closing allowing that kiss to continue.
He blinked a few times when he was finally came up for air, "Soo...is that still french kissing or something new?" he asked with a tilt of his head as his cheeks remained a heightened shade of red.
The space between them had shrunk into a much more intimate setting now with the bean bag settling deeper and the skeins of yarn pressed between them. "Umm....you know...I know there is someone else out there that you've well..mmm...been thinking about. Make sure this is what you really want before you go any further." he said softly giving Ryuu one chance to make sure.
Kou figured that he must at least say that because he hated to fathom later regrets. Ryuu was much more impulsive than he. At least that is what he thought. But he was a guy and a casual fling might be fun. Or maybe it would become a bit more. Kou wasn't sure which would happen but for his end of it all, he didn't want to be a home wrecker. Ok so maybe he had been that guy at times. Hormones and cosplays aside, he had made foolish mistakes in the past. But Ryuu was a nice guy so he'd make sure...just this once.

"Something...new..." Ryu smiled, resting his forehead against Kou's, his hands still holding the host's face as though it were a delicate flower whose petals he didn't want to bruise. The next question he was asked caught him off guard, though. What did Kou mean? Why wouldn't he want this? Naoko...Naoko was the past now. He had to make it that way, because they were just no good for one another. Besides...the pianist...as much as he really, truly cared for the man...had just become insufferable. Whenever he was around him, he felt anxious, he had nightmares, he couldn't let his guard down. there was just no way he could live like that...and maybe he was being selfish, but he didn't care at the moment. That last text message had sealed the deal as far as he was concerned. "I suppose it's high time I come off the fence about things, huh? Well then...I'm sure..." ~ Sou boku no sekai wo nurikaete mitai ~

The answer seemed clear enough at least to Kou's ears. He didn't know the other person and he didn't really want to know. Ryuu seemed to have put that in the past.And he hoped that was truly the case. So he'd accept it as things were. At least, it wasn't his responsibility to handle those things that Ryuu was leaving behind.
"Alright...." said Kou with a soft smile leaning in to give the musician another slow kiss. Surely, he hadn't expected Ryuu to make a move tonight but he wasn't opposed to the idea.
He carefully set aside the skein of yarn and his needles that lay between he and Ryuu because he didn't want to poke either of them with the sharp knitting needles. Then, he slid his hands around the small of Ryuu's back before stealing another kiss from Ryuu's lips. "Now we're even on the kiss ratio." he said with a slight grin. "One for the Izakaya, One for here. Two here for me."

The two kisses given by Kou were met by a third from Ryuukaze, to which he grinned and said, "That makes three from me...", before moving his hands to the host's shoulders, slowly pulling the man into a tight embrace. It felt good, being with someone he didn't have to fear, didn't have to worry over constantly, and didn't have to put in 95+% effort at almost all times. This man was precious to him. His precious friend...with benefits. He just hoped he could keep somebody close without them succumbing to his "curse", winding up harmed in one way or another, becoming broken and desolate...or worse. ~ Sou boku no sekai wo nurikaete mitai ~

"Awh...I'm going to have to play catch up often." Kou said with a small pout then stole another kiss 'snatching' Ryuu's tongue in the process. He let his slippery tongue entwine with Ryuu's for a moment before pulling away and saying with a quick grin, "I snagged it!"
Kou could be an imp when he wanted to. And new relationships had all the fresh fun that could be very interesting for awhile. Although, he did wonder how things would work out. He wasn't pushing for a deep intense relationship. He had a feeling something like that might be a little too much for a man that was on stage all the time. Heck, and Kou had a busy life too. But they could have a lot of fun. No harm with that.
"Soo....maybe you should move your bean bag a bit closer and you can snuggle with me while I knit." Kou said as he pressed close to the musician's chest. He wasn't pushing for more than kissing right now. Unless Ryuu had other ideas. He sort of liked the 'snuggle option' first and the 'get to know you more' stage....those playful things that led to intimacy...and benefits.

"Don't make this a competition...I don't like to lose..." the star bit his lip, a playful expression, full of all the excitement and happy anxiety of a young man discovering somebody new. Pulling back, Ryu took his cues and grabbed the beanbag, sliding it right up against Kou's and hopping back up on it. There really was no need to rush things. Besides...if he went straight to the bedroom with the man now, it would just cheapen things. As far as he was concerned, that time in the club, with the cosplay and the massage...it may as well have never happened. Well, it happened...but...he wanted things to be real this time. Real affection between two real people. Not just a random roll in the hay. As Kimura took up his knitting again, Ryuukaze leaned over on the man's shoulder, the fingers of one hand incessantly tickling and stroking the host's side as he gazed at the brunette's face, a playful twinkle still in his eyes. ~ Sou boku no sekai wo nurikaete mitai ~

Kou giggled as he watched Ryuu bite his lip. "Oh? Is that so? Well, a little competition can be fun."
As for Kou's part in this, he separated his work from his off work time. Sure things happened at the cosplay club but he placed Grell's adventures outside of his personal relationships. The club was fun. Heck who wouldn't have fun with cosplay...and occasionally a good roll in the hay! But real life was nothing like that. Kou liked more substance to his friends and relationships.
"You're going to make knitting impossible." Kou squeaked as he scooted around in the bean bag laughing and squirming away from those wiggling fingers. He missed two stitches and started trying to go backwards in the process to repeat the row. Naughty man! "If you tickle me too much I'll add some pink thread to your sweater!" he threatened then finally dropped both needles and returned fire. His fingers seeking out Ryuu's tummy and getting even!

Laughing, the young Koyasu could only smirk. "I never promised to be a good influence, Shou-san. In fact, I'm quite happy about the fact that I'm a bad boy." he teased, taking a small plate from one of the kitchen cabinets. He began to take the mochi which Ko selected out of the box, placing them on the plate carefully. "I bet Shou-san would let you use his cell phone to send a text to NAKO-san. As for the television... well... I think you'll be happy with the size. It isn't as big as the one in the living room, but it's decent."
Of course then Shou suggested that Ko talk to Naoko tomorrow and so Akihiko couldn't help but nod. "He's probably working... or lounging. Who wouldn't want to just kick back and listen to the rain, ne? Come on, Ko-kun. I'll show you both to your guest room. Everything's done in nice green tones."
Takagi couldn't help but smirk slightly. "So you're finally being a little selfish, ne?" he asked, arms folded over his chest as he spoke. "Believe me, I think you should be selfish. You should protect and hold dear what matters to you... pushing my cousin into being the next chairman won't have a good outcome... so even though I'm not partial to the job... I'd rather do it than have a frustrated Narcissus sitting behind the desk scratching at the furniture and leaving claw marks in the wood." for a moment however, Yuuji looked contemplative. He pushed off the wall and started to follow Izzy out of the room. "Let's ask what Akihiko wants to do. As for Shou-san though... hmmm... that could be a problem... but Shou-san HAS to have someone clean his place. I mean, I doubt he does it himself, right? Besides, if you look at it from an angle, Hideo-kun would be a sort of hostage to keep Aya-chan from revealing any secrets about Shou-san. Granted it's a rather morbid angle... but still..."

What a shock, it was so surprising,
You looked so small and frail------------------------------------------------}:-  Izzy Lucky

"I guess so. Yes...I am being a little selfish." he decided and then took in a breath. " I plan on it. He's mine. And I don't want to lose what I've worked so hard..and so long to get."
His eyes drifted over to Yuuji and he smiled, "He'll never love the office life. He breaths music. I think your son is of a similar vein. I can tell he really has connected with Akihiko." Then he laughed, "And...I think Akihiko has connected with him. But yes I agree, Akihiko would suffocate as a Chairman. I don't think that he was meant to be in that chair. However, he really wants to bring news stars to the stage. I think he has a knack for that. And yes, he'd be scratching at the desk...walls...We'd have to buy him a scratching post. But it probably wouldn't be enough."
"Mm... I suppose it should be his choice whether or not he talks to his grandfather about the matter." Izzy muttered not really wanting to get deeper in that conversation because he was almost at odds with that idea.
Then he shook his head really unsure how to answer that, "I haven't a clue how Shou cleans his house. Yesterday was the first time I was in his home and...well...it was immaculate. Soo...mm.. he has to have someone clean it. I don't think he's got that kind of fortitude. We just have to explain things in ways he can...accept. Believe me after spending a few weeks with him , I know he's got a very noble decent part to him. But he's a different character every day though...like his music." Izzy tried to be discreet about Shou's private life. He didn't quite understand it all himself. "Mm...I think..ah..appeal to that part of him, the noble part. I don't think he'd hold Ko-kun hostage. But we'd have to express to Aya-san how sensitive Shou is about his identity. This isn't like normal sensitivity. It's mm...."
God those days on the boat.... Izzy closed his eyes remembering the frantic star as soon as the makeup washed away. So he knew that Shou wasn't stable. Something was very wrong in the star's head so keeping that mask on his face in some form...was very important.
But as his thoughts drifted back to that ocean and the days where he learned the truth about Akihiko's head he realized there was one question he should be asking Yuuji. Opening his eyes he looked at Yuuji and then put forth the question, "I don't want to be insensitive here but does Ko-kun act like your son used to? Beyond not remembering things he should? Akihiko and I can't tell what's different with him. I mean we've never met him... before ...and ....well." Izzy asked because he didn't know if they could bring back everything that Ko used to be. Heck he didn't know what that was. But he knew that Akihiko didn't act right when he lost his memories so he couldn't fathom what was different with Ko.

Shou rolled his eyes. "Mm...you'll just have to learn when to be a good influence then." Ko had made the mercurial star at least tailor some of his nature. However, Narcissus probably would be trouble. Wasn't he always?
Ko nodded and was very happy to see the two mochi put upon the plate. "They are pretty large for mochi. Uncle Shou wanted the best ones." Ko's eyes gleamed with that eager hunger for sweets. Then grabbed a hold of Narcissus' hand so he could be led to the right room.
Shou watched the boy walking down the hall with a plate in hand. He shook his head and grabbed the milk. Obviously the good for you stuff wasn't on the boy's mind. Maybe Ko was a little Narcissus in the making. He could tell that the boy definitely liked his rival. Well how couldn't he. The man could play the piano at a level much closer to Ko.
When they got to his room for the night, Ko peeked at the TV. "It's perfect!" He squeezed Akihiko's hand then smiled up at him before releasing it and scooting over to put his mochi plate on the bedside table.
"Umm...I don't have any pajamas here...." Ko said as he looked up at the two men.

"Nooooo! Don't put pink in there!!!!" Ryu laughed, then squealed and jumped as Kou began his own little tickle assault. "Aaah! Ah! Ah! Noooooo no no no no no no no no no no!!!!!!" the violinist shrieked and squirmed, practically clawing himself across the carpet to get away from those terroristic fingers! Tickling, it turns out, was one of the violinist's greatest weaknesses. His face turned as red as his hair and eyes and his breath came in half gasps in between what sounded like scream laughing. Scraughing? Leaming? Whatever it was, it was incredibly funny to watch. ~ Sou boku no sekai wo nurikaete mitai ~

Kou couldn't help but roll over laughing after he assaulted Ryuu with tickles. "You started it!" It was too easy to win because Ryuu was even more ticklish than Kou! "And oh...maybe Instead of putting pink in the sweater I should knit you a pretty bright pink bow for that future pony tail instead." he said with a mischievous grin as he grabbed one of Ryuu's feet and started tickling there too!
"I think you should use those new sounds you're making for that new song you're going to write for me." he teased as he started trying to drag Ryuu back by his legs The musician wasn't going to get away that easily.

"I don't want a bow! And I didn't mean to start a war!" the vocalist drew his knees up to his chest, peeking over them like two little mountains. "What? No way! That would just be..." he began, but fell back into another chorus of shrieks as Kou began working on his feet, pulling the star closer and closer. Like a panicked snake, Ryuukaze began to fling himself back and forth in a wavelike motion, moving like a whip...yet he could not escape! "Oh! Oh! Oh! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!" he began to moan when he ran out of enough air to continue the more high pitched squawks. He was defeated. Rolling over, he began tapping the floor frantically as a sign that he gave up. ~ Sou boku no sekai wo nurikaete mitai ~
