Die parked the car opposite the tall building. He looked up at a window. That window…was Shinya’s room. It was dark no lights were on. So that meant Shinya wasn’t back yet. Die glanced at his watch nervously. Scared to know the time. It was almost ten.

*

"Hey…you…the pretty one…" came a low voice. Shinya turned back slowly aware. He sighed seeing that tall man standing in the dark. He wore neither party costume nor tuxedo like he was supposed to. He was wearing a black shirt with another blue top inside. His strong legs were clad in tight leather pants. He looked drunk. Shinya made a face seeing him puffing out cigarette smoke with attitude.

Why did everything remind him of Die? The way he smoke…the way he stood up on his feet…

"What are you doing here?" he asked slowly.

Shinya pouted. Why are –you- doing here? He thought. But he wasn’t going to ask him. So he only answered the question. The other man laughed.

"What fresh air? Sugizo will kill you if he knows that…go back in!" he waved his hand (the one with cig) around. Shinya fumed and moved a step back.

"What are –you- doing here?" he finally asked. The bassist mumbled something about being thrown out of the party. Shinya widened his eyes, "You? But you’re his close friend…how can he throw you out?" J snickered thinking that this beautiful young man would…hm…maybe not…

"Hey…do you want me to teach you something?" he whispered. Shinya didn’t look like him. He was probably the quiet one…the delicate one…but I should try…who knows…he thought. Shinya looked at him suspiciously.

"Teach…what?"

J smirked and took something out of his pocket. Shinya narrowed his eyes in the dark. He walked towards J trying to see what it was. Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him. J gasped in surprise and put that thing back into his pocket. Shinya noticed that nervous gesture. What was the thing?

"Jun…what are you doing here?" Shinya turned around. A big guy appeared behind him. Shinya nodded to him realising who he was…this man is another drummer called Shinya…with different kanji, he thought. The other Shinya nodded back, realising who that pretty man was.

"Konbanwa Shinya-kun" he greeted him. Suddenly J moved away. The other Shinya quickly grabbed his arm, "Sugizo is looking for you! What are you doing here?" Shinya gulped seeing J tried to free himself. He struggled for a while before giving up.

"Let’s go back in…" the big Shinya mumbled dragging drunken J’s arm. The bassist pouted. Suddenly the other Shinya pointed at the pretty man, "Ah…you came here with Yoshiki ne? Do you know he’s drunk now? And I think he’s a little injured"

"What happened?" he almost shrieked. The other Shinya sneered. "We played a game and cheated. He lost the whole time and had to finished all those drinks…he’s okay…everyone loves him…" big Shinya grunted as J’s head limply fell on his shoulder. He grasped both J’s arms and shook him hard.

"Wake up mother fucker!"

Pretty Shinya ran into the room.

Die opened his eyes. He must had fallen asleep! How long had he been sleeping? He nervously looked at his watch again. Ten thirty. He looked up at the window. It was still dark. No sign of life. He called the number and nobody answered the phone. So Shinya was still with that old man…Die sighed.

*

"Yoshiki-san…" Shinya gasped and forced into the cheering crowd. He stood frozen seeing Yoshiki landing a jab on Sugizo. Shinya covered his mouth seeing bruises on Yoshiki’s face. He looked at Yoshiki from head to toe. The producer was bare chest…and so was Sugizo. The guitarist had a half-swollen cheek. They were wearing boxing gloves! Sugizo got up from the floor and walked unwillingly towards a table. He picked up a tiny glass and finished its content in one shot. Then he threw the glass on the floor. It broke into pieces and Sugizo purred at its sound.

"Round six!!!" somebody yelled and the crowd cheered. Shinya watched the game worriedly. This time Sugizo smirked as he moved forward punching Yoshiki hard on his stomach. Shinya winced. Yoshiki fell on the floor right in front of him. He gasped and helped the older man getting up. Sugizo smirked again,

"Aw…isn’t that sweet…" he spoke out loud in a fake whiny voice. Everyone turned to look at him. Hot flush brushed his cheeks as some people sneered.

"Hey…Yoshiki…getting old ne? you need this pretty boy for help…" Yoshiki grunted and pushed Shinya away. Shinya widened his eyes in shock.

"Ah…getting burnt eh?" Sugizo teased. Yoshiki walked with shaky knees towards the table. He too finished the drink in one shot and threw it on the floor. He yelled at its breaking sound. Yoshiki moved forward ready for the next round. Sugizo pouted sexily and took his position. Shinya gasped again as Yoshiki’s body swung to his side.

Sugizo laughed evilly, ‘I win…!!!" he yelled loudly throwing his arms in the air. The crowd cheered for him but quite a lot of people walked away in disappointment. "Who bets for me?" he yelled again ignoring Yoshiki who landed perfectly on the floor…passed out.

*

Die hit the dashboard hard as he glanced at his watch again. It was now eleven and he was getting really scared.

This is unusual…

*

Shinya held his head gently, "Yoshiki-sama…are you okay?" he tried to pull him up but the older man stayed on the floor. Shinya sighed in desperation. "You’re not making this easy for me….please wake up!" he spoke softly shaking Yoshiki’s shoulders lightly. Suddenly somebody bent down in front of him. Shinya lifted his eyes up and saw Ryuichi smiling warmly to him.

"You better take him home…he needs a good rest. It’s been ages since the last time he had this kind of game" he said in a gentle voice. The vocalist looked around thoughtfully. Sugizo was walking round a circle enjoying every single adoration he got from the crowd. Pouting sexily, "Who’s next?!" he yelled posing for his admirers. Shinya stared as Ryuichi took the boxing gloves off Yoshiki.

"Drive carefully Shinya-kun" he helped Shinya pulling the older man up. The drummer was so amazed by the gentle vocalist that he couldn’t stop smiling to him. Ryuichi gave him another warm smile as he wore the gloves.

Shinya turned back quickly with Yoshiki clutching on him. Then he heard Sugizo yelled,

"No! Ryu…not you…" he sounded like he was so sure he would win. The sensuous man wasn’t going to beat his lovely Ryuichi up. Shinya smiled. He knew Ryuichi would take the revenge for him.

*

"Ah…my head…" Yoshiki moaned in pain touching his forehead. He heard somebody sighed in relief.

"Shinya…is that you?" he opened his eyes and found himself in a car. He glanced and saw the young drummer.

"Hai…are you okay? I’m so worried!" Shinya glanced back at him before turning back to the road. Yoshiki pouted. "I’m fine…I just have to get used to this…" the older man stretched slowly.

"Getting old…" he murmured. Shinya smiled.

"I’m sorry you have to drive me home…" Yoshiki murmured again. This time he leaned back and shut his eyes. His head was pounding and he couldn’t even see properly. Sugizo must’ve known his weak points! But he jumped up as the car stopped in sudden making all those squeaking sounds. He had to open his eyes.

"Shinya! What the…" he held the dashboard tightly trying to recover from the shock. He glanced at Shinya and the younger man was blushing.

"Gomen nasai…but…we’re on our way to –my- apartment" Yoshiki blinked his eyes few times in confusion. Shinya chew his lip, "I’ so sorry…I must’ve done it unconsciously!" he looked behind and moved the car backwards, "I’ll turn the car and drive to your house…" Yoshiki gasped,

"No! If we’re getting there…then it’s okay…" he moved forward touching Shinya’s arm. "I don’t want you to drive here and there…it’s getting really late…" the drummer stopped.

"Really?"

Yoshiki nodded slowly touching his head again. "If you don’t mind me resting there for a while…I need to regain my strength!" Yoshiki sighed. Shinya quickly nodded, "Hai! Of course! You can rest…for a while…" the drummer thought for a while.

Yoshiki-sama…my apartment…it must be a dream!

Shinya tried not to smile. He wished Yoshiki found his place tidy and clean (which is already really clean and tidy -L7)

Shinya stole a glance at the older man. He looked like he was sleeping. Yoshiki’s face looked like crap. He had few bruises here and there…but Sugizo’s face was half-swollen, Shinya thought. So technically he should be the one who lost the game! He glanced at the older man again who breath slowly and steady.

His place is clean too…

Shinya sighed in relief knowing that they were not going to Yoshiki’s house. He didn’t really want to go there again. It gave him such a weird feeling…he was scared…he knew it was really wrong when Yoshiki almost kissed him.

*

Die lit another cigarette. He almost finished the whole pack. He sighed staring at it. If Shinya knows this…he’s gonna kill me! But I don’t think he cares…so maybe I should just sit here and smoke till I die! I wanna see if he cares or not! He sighed, but if I die now…I won’t see him anymore…I won’t know his reaction…

"Everything I do is wrong Shin-chan…"

Die sighed again, getting tired with himself. Suddenly he widened his eyes seeing a car stopping right in front of the entrance. Die narrowed his eyes studying the car…it looked like Yoshiki’s! And it was! Shinya got out of the car. Die exhaled. But why was he driving it? It was Yoshiki’s car ne? Then he saw Shinya helping the older man.

"Yoshiki-sama…we’ve arrived" Shinya touched his arm gently. The older man nodded, "It’s okay…I can get up myself!" Yoshiki gently pushed Shinya’s hand away. Shinya nodded.

Die’s eyes were filled with jealousy. Yoshiki was following the drummer entering the building! What was he going to do in there?! Die grunted, it was pass midnight and Yoshiki was not planning to have breakfast there right?!

"What the hell is he doing?" Die mumbled. So they –are- dating? Die shook his head…no! I have to wait! Maybe he only wanted to get something! Maybe he was drunk! And he needed to rest…or something like that! Die told himself. So he waited there…making sure Yoshiki didn’t stay overnight.

*

"Come in…" Shinya opened the door wider. Yoshiki nodded and walked into the apartment. He took his time looking around despite his headache.

"Quite neat…I really like you Shinya…you’re my type of person" the older man spoke softly. Shinya smiled but quickly held his face. Don’t blush! He told himself. Yoshiki sat on the couch, "You don’t mind, do you?" Shinya shook his head violently.

"Of course I don’t! you can even sleep here if you feel you’re too tired to drive" Shinya offered. Yoshiki laughed, "Ne…I’ll just rest here…for few minutes…" he shut his eyes leaning on the arm of the couch. The young drummer nodded, "Ah…maybe you want to drink…or clean yourself…" Yoshiki opened his eyes, "Maybe drink…like a cup of tea or something refreshing…I can’t get the taste of alcohol out of my mouth" the older man stuck his tongue out cutely. Shinya froze for few seconds.

I can’t believe he did that…so kawaii…

Shinya rushed to the kitchen and made a cup of hot tea. Yoshiki smiled, "Arigato…" and took a long sip of his drink. He sighed, "It feels so nice…" Shinya smiled happily.

"Do you want me to get a towel for you?" he asked carefully. Yoshiki nodded slowly, "Hai…" Shinya rushed to his room grinning to himself. He couldn’t believe it! He felt so happy that Yoshiki liked his place. It was such a special day for him!

Shinya ran out of his room, "Yoshiki-sama, this is the towel and bathroom is…oh…" he stopped.

Yoshiki was sleeping on the couch. He rested his head carefully on the arm of the couch breathing softly. Shinya stood frozen staring at his hero. The older man looked so tired. He had bruises on his face and Shinya didn’t dare to wake him up. Instead he hugged the towel close to his chest and smiled. Then he crept to his room getting a blanket.

"Oyasuminasai…Yoshiki-sama…" he whispered as he swathed it over Yoshiki.

Shinya walked back to his room…slowly…trying not to jump. He had a huge grin on his face…oh my goodness…I have to tell Toshiya tomorrow…or maybe no! He glanced at the clock…then he pouted.

*

Die hit the dashboard hard. He stared at the window. Now the lights were out! Shinya…and Yoshiki?! He bit his lip, maybe Yoshiki was on his way down here…so he waited and waited. There was no sign of Yoshiki at all!!! This couldn’t happen to him!

So they –are- dating! And he lied to me!

Die stared at the window again. He shook his head slowly, "No…I have to wait! Maybe that old man will come out in few minutes…maybe…" he filled his head with hopes that Yoshiki would get out of Shinya’s apartment…

So he waited and waited…
