Longing for You

Chapter 5:
.... Just then their producer walks in. Yoshiki stopped dead in his tracks and blinked. "Sit down guys-"
He then spotted Ceol, "would you excuse us miss? We have work to do and no time to fool around." When she refuse to move, he said more sternly. "I said please get out. This is no place for some kid like you to hang around. Now please go."
Ceol glare at him but let go of Die and started toward the door. She turn around and hoping to see Die wave good-bye, but he was busy talking to Shinya and didn’t seem to notice her at all. Ceol saw red. She angrily slam the door and march out of the building.
"Now that takes care of her. Demo.. she didn’t have to close that loudly. My ear hurts." Toshiya look toward his lover with a wounded look, his lover leaned in and kissed it, "there all better ne?" "hai"
"ano Shin-chan what’s with the outfit?" Die grinned, "the director picked it out for me" "ohh...now there has to be a reason for this... is this for someone?" Shinya blushed crimson. When he saw the guitarist looking at him strangely he turn away from him.
"Shinya? Care to tell me who it is?" Die tried to make his voice sound teasing and couldn’t help but sound a little jealous. The drummer didn’t notice, too busy thinking up an answer, "i-it’s for some-someone spec-ial to me" Die casually drape his arm around his shoulders, "eep! Die! Get off!" Shinya tried to move out of his hold but to no veil. So sighing he gave up.
Die pull him closer so that his lips is practically touching his ear, "ne shin-chan is it............................me?" His heart skipped a beat. How’d he know?? If- His train of thought was cut off when he recognized the teasing look on Die’s face. "Baka!" Blushing furiously at the guitarist’s behavior he stalk over to his seat and sat down. Trying to look pissed off he crossed his arms over his chest and glare at the snickering red head.
When the all the members of DEG took their seat Yoshiki started to explain, "tomorrow’s the Holloween Party! All of you have your costumes I assume" when they all nobbed their heads he continued, "don’t drink so much if any of you are planning to drive home. And if you are drunk and plan to walk home, don’t. It’s dangerous and I don’t want any of you to get mugged or raped or-"
Kyo walk over to Yoshiki and clamp a hand over his producer’s mouth, he know he’s going to get in trouble for this but if he keep on talking, he’s going to sound like his mother! And we don’t want that now do we? "We get it, so stop mothering us!" Seeing that Yoshiki’s eyebrows were twitching Kyo sweatdropped, quickly backed away and hid behind Kaoru.
"I have already talked to Glay and I must say that they’re MUCH more maturer than you. Learn ne? Oh and guys? For tomorrow, there’s a little change in plan, everyone’s going to have to wear a mask! Don’t forget ok?" With that Yoshiki headed toward the door. Kyo breathed a sigh of relief, "He’s not going to punish me?" "I almost forgot. Kyo, my office, now" Me and my big mouth. Kyo waved a pained bye-bye to his bandmates as if he’s walking toward his death, and follow Yoshiki out the door.
For the rest of the day, Die caught himself wanting to ravish Shinya a little more than normal. When Shinya had bent over to pick up his drum sticks from the floor, his eyes had nearly bugged out of their sockets while looking at Shinya’s backside. And when they had their break, he caught Shinya with a dreamy far off look on his face.
And no need to say, he got a little bit jealous and was about to demand who that person is when their break ended and they had to practice.
Kyo had came back a little over an hour since he followed Yoshiki into his office. He was grinning from ear to ear and a bit sleepier than before. Everyone had wondered what happened.
When it was about time to go, Kaoru suddenly remembered something, he went over to Toshiya and hugged the bassist against his chest. "Totchi-chan, why don’t we go separately?" tears started to swelled up inside Toshiya, "you don’t want to be seen in public with me?? Kao-chan how could you??" Kaoru shook his head furiously and explain, "no no totchi-chan, it’s just that the costume you made...err...." he sweatdropped "got torn up in the washer, so I got a surprise one that I think you’ll like. But I don’t want you to see it until tomorrow ne?" Kaoru just couldn’t tell his koi the truth, that he didn’t really think that, that leather multi-color costume would fit him. Toshiya blinked away his tears, "really?" "hai" "ok then"
Kyo, who had over heard, excitedly started to jump up and down "Hey! That’s a great idea! Why don’t we go by ourselves! We could play a game," the others stopped what they were doing and look interested, "we could try and figure out who is who! The first that finds all of us first wins...umm....win-" "Wins free lunches from all of us for a two whole weeks!" Die jumped in, "and the loser gets to deal with meetings with Yoshiki for the next two weeks!" He really hated those meetings, he had always felt uncomfortable around the producer. This is his chance to escape!
The others agreed. They hadn’t played games in a while, and everyone is quite bored with their normal everyday routine.
------------
Shinya sigh and lean back as the gentle water comfortably surrounds him. Slowly he washes himself, mind wandering off to a certain red head. But his daydream is brutally cut short when images of Ceol and Die together appeared.
He hug his knees to his chest, tears started running down his cheeks as he sob quietly. Trying to calm himself, Shinya took in a few deep breaths and got out of the tub. He drys himself with the towel nearby and put on his silk bathrobe.
There’s only three more hours until the party starts and he didn’t know what to do. He had been thinking about this since yesterday when Yoshiki said they had to wear a mask. He thought it over and over and came up with a plan that might not fail. Could not fail.
Shinya had already brought the perfect mask that matches his costume and also fits in well with his plan. He is quite sure no one would recognized him, not even Die, he hoped.
-------------
The guitarist look around the room through the holes in his mask, he just arrived 10 minutes ago and started spotting around for his friends. He was lucky Ceol can’t come. Imagine what the evening would be like if she was here. Die shuddered, not wanting to think about it.
He was wearing the outfit his shy but unknown fan gave him. It fits him quite well, black and red. With his red hair under a hat and a black mask, none of his friends are going to know who he is. Die grinned. This will make finding them much easier...
--------------
Shinya parked his car and grabbed his invitation, no one was allowed in without one. He glance at his watch and saw that the party had started 15 minutes ago. Shinya sigh, he knew he shouldn’t have took such a long time doing his hair. But he had wanted to put it in a way that the guys never saw before and wouldn’t recognize it is him.
Picking up his long dress so that it wouldn’t get dirty on the concrete sidewalk, he walk up the small staircase that leads to the front door.
--------------
Oblivious to everyone in the party, a black clad figure pop itself on a tree trunk in the garden. The tree trunk was just the right height to look into the windows. The figure reaches into it’s black bag and took out something. From the light escaping the leaves of the tree, it look like a weapon.......
It seem to be waiting for something or someone. It took quite some time but the figure has found the person it had been looking for. It continue to sit there silently, not moving as if transfixed by the person.
-------------
Shinya look around the ball room and immediately recognize Kaoru and Toshiya making out against one of the large windows. He look toward his left and saw Kyo dancing with someone familiar, but he just couldn’t think of who. Die was the easiest to spot out of all of them, Shinya can distinguish how his costume looks like a mile away. Sugoi! He does look good in it.....I’m glad.... he thought with a dreamy smile. Die had acturally wore his costume!!
-----------------
Die glance around the room again. He had looked all around and luckily he had found Kaoru and Toshiya, but no Kyo and Shinya....yet.....
Suddenly he froze, there, at the entrance was the most person in existence! His eyes ran up and down the long slender body, the top of the dress is off shouldered so it shows off the creamy baby soft shoulders and long lean neck. The bottom of the dress is long so the legs aren’t visible. But Die somehow know that the legs would just be as beautiful.
Gracefully, he made his way pass the people who are dancing quite wildly on the dance floor.
"Hi, have I ever seen you somewhere before?" Wow Die! Nice original pick up line! he thought sarcastically to himself. The beauty before him look up, startled, smiled and shook it’s head. Then Die notice that this is a he not a she. But he looks amazing! He sure can be a opponent in looks to Shin-chan and Totchi!
He thought for a minute then asked, "Can you tell me your name?" Again the beauty shook his head. He sure is quiet, I wonder which band he belongs in...hmm....
----------------
Shinya’s heart is beating double time, Die didn’t recognize him! He’s so lucky. Maybe this evening will turn out well for him. He had been so scared when Die was walking toward his direction, he thought the guitarist had perceive it him. He is so lost in thought that he almost didn’t hear Die’s next question, "I said, would you like to dance? I think the next song is going to be a slow one, and I don’t think you’ll want to dance to a fast song dressed like that ne?" Die smiled, but he didn’t see the blush that spread across Shinya’s cheeks because of the mask.
Die led him to the dance floor just as the music changes. He put his arms around the mysterious person’s waist and pull him closer to his chest.
Shinya couldn’t help but lean into the strong torso infront of him as he wrap his arms around Die’s neck. He eyes turn sad when he realized that this is the first time that Die had embraced him like this. So gentle, so loving, not one of those teasing embraces.
---------------
The figure frown, then saw crimson red as it saw what’s going on in the room. The person it had been spying on, is dancing with some bimbo that looks quite familiar.....hmmmmm..... they’re headed toward the garden.....
----------------
After a few dances, the two of them decided to go for a walk in the beautiful garden outside. The sun is setting so there is a gentle blanket of golden highlight which illuminates the trees and brushes around them.
Shinya thinks of this as heaven, if only this is real, that he and Die are like this everyday. He glance over at the guitarist and felt tears threaten to fall, he took in a deep breath, crying would not be right this moment.
Suddenly Die took his hand pull him toward a rose brush nearby. He kneel down next to him, and the statement on Die’s face is one of the many rare ones. It is calm and gentle, "Beautiful ne? I have always found flowers beautiful. Not many people know that though." "hai" Shinya wishpered. It was so soft Die almost didn’t hear it. He found his voice gentle and kind. He still haven’t figured out who this is yet, but Die is beginning to like his presence more and more, even though his companion doesn’t talk......much.
He suddenly desperately wanted to know who this person is. But he wouldn’t violate his privacy, He didn’t ask me to take off my mask so I’m not going to ask him to take off his mask, he’ll show me when he feel like it...
Shinya look around the garden and saw a pond over near the benches. He tug on Die’s sleeve and pointed over there. Die nobbed and agreed, he’s feeling a bit cramped, from kneeling down on the ground.
They walk over to the benches and sat down. Music could be heard from there. It seems like they’re playing a slow song again. Die stood up and walk infront of Shinya. Bowing down, placing one hand behind him and held his other hand out, Die grinned and tries to make his voice like a gentlemen’s, he ask, "Dance with me? My lady?" Shinya giggled and place his smaller hand into Die’s larger ones. The guitarist pull Shinya up and they started to dance again.
Shinya sigh, soon this would be over and my fantasy is fulfilled. It’s better than nothing, at least Die is here now.... maybe I should go with my plan and tell him my feelings, he not going to know it’s me. With that decided Shinya began to talk.
"Die?" Die blinked in surprise, he knows me? Now that’s unfair! I don’t even know his name yet!! Got to ask.. "I have something to tell you," Shinya lean his head on Die’s shoulder so that his head won’t spin so much. "I-I love you..."
Of all the things Die had expected his companion to say, this is NOT one of them. "Huh?" He is sure he had heard it wrong. Shinya took a deep breath again and repeated, "I love you. I have since god knows when. I wanted to say that to you in a long time but I never had the chance." All of this was said in a whisper, he is still afraid that the guitarist will find out it’s him.
Die frown, but they continue dancing away, "but we hardly know each other, right?" The drummer didn’t answer, he doesn’t want to lie to him and also doesn’t want to tell him the truth. After a while he said, "I’m sorry, but I’m currently in love with someone else. Gomen"
Shinya smile sadly, "I know, but I wanted to tell you anyway." Die pull slightly away, he brush his thumb against Shinya’s lips, "I can give you a kiss if you like." He slowly nobbed, if one kiss is what I’m going to get, I don’t mind so much......Die.......
Die lean forward and gentle press his lips over his companion’s. The kiss was gentle and slow, but as time went on the kiss became more aggressive and intimate. Shinya gasp softly into the kiss. Silent tears fell from his eyes and ran down his face. He know that this is the first and last time they would ever kiss. The kiss was so beautiful he didn’t want it to end.
The older man pull his unresisting body closer and ran his hands up and down his back. Die wanted to know if his hair is as soft as it looks and started to play with the strands that are hanging out.
Then finally the kiss gentle down and they regretfully separated. Die was about to take his hand away from Shinya’s hair when the beautifully designed buttons caught a hold of something in his hair. Die gently tries to pull his hand away, and seem to be successful when Shinya felt something loosen and the mask fell from his face, and onto the floor. As if in slow motion, both their eyes widen. Shinya!!
-----------------
Shinya!??? The figure sitting in the tree froze. But quickly recovered. Why that bastard!!!!! I’ll get him! It held up it’s weapon and aim it at Shinya.....
------------------
Shinya panicked and Die seem shocked. He backed away from the guitarist slowly, Die just stood there unable to move, still shocked. Shinya started to run back into the ball room when he suddenly heard a gun shot and felt incredible pain pierced into his back....
Shinya screamed and crumbled to the ground. His body is in pain beyond imagination but it was only a small portion compare to what he felt in his heart. All he could think of is that Die will surely hate him even though his body is fading from life.
-------------------
Die was force back to reality when he heard the gunshot and then time seem to stop when he saw to his horror, Shinya drop to the ground and blood began to pool around him. He ran over to him, and hug Shinya to his chest. "Shinya," he whispered. "die..." " Shin-chan you’ll be ok....I promise......shhhh......it’s alright.....shh" He lift him up, and ran toward his car. Die has nothing on his mind right now except Shinya’s welfare.
-------------------
Shinya smiled, he open his painfilled eyes and look up at Die. At least I can die in your arms ne? He didn’t want to close his eyes but it’s beginning to be very painful to keep them open.....
