The concert was successful. All the tickets were sold months before the date, people had been waiting to watch it. Now, it was over, well, almost.

It was dark, night time. The stage was still very bright. Four people left the stage disappearing to the backstage. The crowd was cheering. Most of them were girls, obviously. The guitarist did his last pose, causing them to scream even louder…

"Arigatou!" he screamed and walked slowly towards the backstage. The girls were still shrieking even though the lights were already off. This marked how successful the concert was.

*

The bathroom was big, huge mirrors were stuck on the wall. There were four people in it, one of them was wrapped in towel; the man sitting beside him wore boxers. In the corner, a purple hair man was looking at (admiring) his reflection. He wore only a sexy (tiny) leather briefs. They were waiting for their turn to use the shower. *_;

"We have to save time, ne? Shinya! Come out quickly!" one of them turned to yell.

"Wait a moment! I have to wash my hair many times! Sticky you know?!" a head popped out of the shower glass. Shinya quickly close the glass door.

The man frowned, he sat down on the wooden bench.

"Relax, J! Let’s go to the one there" Inoran pointed at the empty shower beside the one Shinya was using. J widened his eyes, turning to his lover. "But there’s not hot water! It’s gonna be so cold! I don’t want a cold shower!"" Inoran threw him a look, "J, I said -let’s- go!" J blinked innocently. Somebody sighed behind him, J turned and saw Sugizo smirking at him. "Baka~!", the purple hair man said. Finally, after seeing Inoran’s glare, J went "Oh…" a smile appeared on his face. He quickly got up, pulling Inoran with him. Both of them walked towards the shower.

"Gee! Get that one fast, J" Sugizo said in sarcastic tone. J ignored him. He closed the shower glass behind him. Suddenly a scream filled the bathroom. Sugizo raised an eyebrow, then he shook his head. "Ino!!! So cold!" the lead guitarist of the band could hear Ino’s cheeky laugh. Apparently Inoran had ‘attacked’ J with cold water. Sugizo rolled his eyes, ‘lovers!" as he sat down on one of the benches.

"Really? Then what are you?" Ryuichi walked towards Sugizo. He had just entered the bathroom. The sound system people called him straight after the concert. He wanted to sit beside his lover but Sugizo quickly grabbed his arm, pulling Ryuichi to sit on his lap. Ryuichi touched his lover’s naked torso, feeling the smoothness of it. Sugizo put his arms around Ryuichi’s waist kissing his chin. He looked up and they stared at each other for a while. Ryuichi’s fine lips parted, he moved closer to his lover, Sugizo’s sexy lips were inch away from his,…

Suddenly Shinya came out of the shower, making lots of noise. "I feel fresh!" he said loudly, not realizing he just interrupted a beautiful -private- moment of his band mates. Shinya didn’t even realize Ryuichi was sitting on Sugizo’s lap. He only knew that he was there. Ryuichi covered his face, *sweatdrop* he was amazed by Shinya’s ignorance (blindness). Sugizo pouted, he glared at the drummer. Gently, he pushed Ryuichi aside. Seeing Shinya only wrapped in a huge towel took his mood away. (so mean…gomenasai Shinya-sama)

"At last!" the guitarist smirked, looking at the huge clock hung up on the wall.

"Nani?" Shinya’s hair was wet; touching his beard he continued. "Tired, eh? The girls were excellent!" he laughed. Shinya wore his jeans, "Did you notice the one with pink hair? She was crazy man! All over you!! But she quite pretty! Lucky bastard!" He threw his towel to the purple-hair man who was going into the shower. Sugizo smoothly moved away, he didn’t that wet towel to touch his body. *_* Suddenly Shinya’s handphone rang,

"Wa! Fright me!" he yelled. The purple hair man pouted, he put his hands on his waist, "You still had the chance to check them out? You’re back there for goodness’ sake!" he said ignoring the fact that the man he talked to was answering the phone. Sugizo walked into the shower, turning the tap on. The door was left open, as if Sugizo left it open purposely.

"Moshi-moshi…" Shinya answered the phone. He made a face to Ryuichi, "my wife" he whispered covering the phone with his palm. Shinya turned away, talking quietly. Ryuichi shook his head, smiling. Suddenly he saw Sugizo…wearing nothing, standing with a hand on his waist leaning on the shower’s door. The guitarist pouted sexily, posing for his lover. Ryuichi’s heartbeat went faster. He widened his eyes but tried not to look at Sugizo’s lower body. Sugizo glared at him…

"How long do I have to wait for you?!"

"Huh?" Ryuichi stood there for a while, but then he nodded, quickly ran into the shower. Sugizo -did- leave the door open in purpose. Sugizo smiled, closing the door after the vocalist. He looked at it for a while; probably hoping that it was see-through. But it wasn’t. Anyone outside couldn’t see through inside though it was made of glass. Damn!

Ryuichi touched his cheek gently, so he turned. The vocalist was staring at him seductively. I thought that was my part! Ryuichi put his hand on the back of his neck, pulling him closer so he could taste those sexy lips. They kissed gently, but soon it turned out to be a passionate kiss; he grabbed his lover’s slim body and hugged him tightly. He stroke Ryuichi’s back; feeling the soft cotton material but wanting to rip the shirt off. Ryuichi’s hand was on his back, slowly moved down to touch that tiny butt. Sugizo tried not to moan, but he did gasp. Suddenly Ryuichi pulled away, he leaned back on the wall, staring at the naked body in front of him. Sugizo was shocked, at first. He was the one who usually did that. But now his lover was staring at his body, studying him closely. Ryuichi’s eyes glowed, and he smiled seductively. Sugizo pouted (he always did!), then the sensuous guitarist placed his palms on the wall, trapping his lover.

Ryuichi moved his hand forward touching his lover’s chest. He ran his index finger on the guitarist’s chest slowly. Sugizo smiled, you wanna play? Ryuichi’s finger moved down to his stomach; suddenly it stopped. Sugizo stared at the finger blankly, huh?

"We have to practice"

Sugizo looked at his lover, totally confused, he frowned. "Do we have to talk about practice?" He moved forward to kiss Ryuichi but the vocalist moved away. He placed his palms on Sugizo’s stomach, "boxing"

Then he kissed Sugizo’s lips teasingly before he opened the door and walked away. Sugizo looked at his lover’s back; he stood frozen in the shower for a while,

"What the hell was that?"

*

"If I’m into alcohol again, will you still be here? By my side?" he asked Inoran softly. He felt comfortable sitting on the balcony. He could see the stars and the moon, makes me think of Sugizo. Inoran was lying on the carpet reading a magazine.

"Why do you ask me that?" Inoran’s tone was full of suspicion but he didn’t look at J.

"Alcohol to me is like you and cigarettes. You smoke a lot" J didn’t answer the question. He looked at the night sky again.

"But I’m not addicted like some people!" Inoran threw the magazine on the carpet. He closed his eyes, but his heartbeat went fast. Is he into alcohol -again-?

"Ino-chan…" J realized his lover was getting angry.

"DON’T call me Ino-chan! I HATE that name! I hate people calling me that way!!" This time he took the magazine and threw it to J. J gasped in surprise and tried to catch it. He got up and put the magazine gently on the balcony. He moved towards Inoran then he sat down beside him,

"Even from me? You hate it even if it’s ME calling you Ino-chan?" J asked in a gentle voice, he looked so hurt. Inoran didn’t answer that question, he turned his head away even though his eyes were closed.

"Gomen…I didn’t mean to hurt you…" J pleaded. There was still no reply from Inoran.

"Please talk to me…"

"Why did you ask me about alcohol…?" Inoran sat up looking at J; the bassist could see pain in those eyes. Pain and fear…

"I just want to know…if I’m trapped -again-…but I won’t! Because you’ll always be with me! Right?" J touched Inoran’s hand. J looked scared, "I didn’t trust myself but I trust you!" Inoran softened, he stroke J’s cheek gently. He leaned forward kissing his lover before hugging him.

"Of course I’ll be with you! Aishiteru" Inoran smiled at J; slowly he pushed J down so he could lie on his stomach. He kissed J’s forehead, but J held his shoulders and Inoran had to look at his eyes.

"Then prove it, Ino" J said in a serious tone.

Inoran stared at J’s face for a while. He was thinking…then he looked at J again.

"Is this what the whole thing…is about…? You mean…the alcohol…the question…is about this?!" Inoran looked at J in disbelief. He joined his eyebrows.

"Doh!" J laughed; he quickly grabbed Inoran’s arms as they were going to land on his stomach hard.

"Just tease me!" Inoran held a cushion and hit J, "You mean person! You wanna die?"

J laughed louder but then he grabbed Inoran’s arm pulling him closer. He kissed Inoran gently,

"But whatever I said was true. I didn’t trust myself, but I trust you! You have to be with me! And I know you’ll always be with me! I KNOW that!" J smiled and stroke Inoran’s cheek lightly. They started to kiss but suddenly Inoran poked J’s stomach, causing the bassist to scream. Inoran stuck his tongue out, "that’s for teasing me!" Then he quickly ran away avoiding J.

"Inoran…" J screamed as he tried to catch him.

"You can call me Ino-chan, by the way. I don’t mind YOU call me that." Inoran ran towards his room, laughing. As he tried to close the door, J pushed it and went in pushing Inoran to the bed. Screams followed laughter could be heard before the door was closed.

*

J looked at himself in the mirror. He just got up from the bed. It’s still early but I can’t sleep! Thanks to insomnia! he frowned. And Ino too actually He brushed his teeth gently, his mouth sore from last night, I have to remind myself next time not to tease Ino again! he sighed. He closed his eyes, leaning on the wall, trying to sleep; his mouth still full of toothpaste. Suddenly he heard the phone rang, who the heck would call me this early? Nevermind. He closed his eyes again, the phone stopped ringing the next second.

J took his time brushing his teeth with eyes closed. He didn’t realize Inoran was suddenly behind him. Inoran saw him leaning on the wall, huh?

"J! What the heck are you doing?"

"Whoa! You scared me! Why didn’t you make any noise so I knew you’re here?!" J stroked his own chest.

"I’m not clumsy like some people!" Inoran pouted. He walked into the bathroom, standing beside J. "What were you doing?" he joined his eyebrows.

"Brushing me teeth" he simply replied.

"Looks like sleeping to me. J…it’s not good swallowing toothpaste!" Inoran prepared a speech. He heard J sighed. Then J told him that he wasn’t sleeping and he was careful enough not to swallow the toothpaste. Inoran smiled as J began to brush his teeth. He took out his electric toothbrush.

"Ryu called"

"Why?" I’m not surprised! He’s the only person who’ll make a call this early!

"Boxing! He wants me to help him. Apparently he has a plan" Inoran held the electric toothbrush near J’s left ear; it made the "zzzzzrrrrr" sound. J got frightened, his eyes widened and tried to move away from it.

"He said something to do with Sugizo and he needs help" he started to brush his teeth too.

J stared at Inoran’s reflection in the mirror. Inoran raised an eyebrow; they have staring session for two minutes, both stopped brushing their teeth. Finally, Inoran sighed.

"Alright! You can come!"

"Arigato Ino-chan" Suddenly J moved forward and kissed Inoran’s cheek.

"Jun!!!" Inoran hissed as his cheek was covered with toothpaste. He held his electric toothbrush near J’s face. J yelped and he turned on the tap splashing water on his lover. Inoran gasped as the cold fluid touched his naked chest. They ended up splashing water on each other until J decided that they should stop. So they had a long… shower together.

*

"What the heck is going on?!" Sugizo was in the locker room walking around nervously. He never felt so left out. He never felt so nervous! He was usually confident when it came to Ryuichi. He was confident about everything! But now…he was so sure that they were planning something! He slept alone last night. Actually he didn’t get to sleep at all worrying about Ryu. The vocalist didn’t go back to their apartment. Ryuichi didn’t even call him or tell him where he went.

Suddenly the door swung open. Ryuichi went in with a smile on his face.

"Ohaiyo!!!" he greeted Sugizo cheerfully. Sugizo glared at him,

"Where did you go last night?" Sugizo’s voice sounded cold.

"No where, I went back to my house" Ryuichi simply answered the question. He opened his locker and took his clothes.

Sugizo glared at him even more, then he walked out the room slamming the door behind him.

Ryuichi bit his lower lip, but then he smiled. He was happy that Sugizo cared for him.

*

"Today we’re gonna have a boxing practice, as usual. But from the last match I could see your weak points Sugi!" Inoran turned to look at Sugizo. Sugizo glared at him, Inoran just smiled, he looked at Ryuichi. "So today, Ryu will show you some of his tricks. It’s a boxing lesson for you!" Inoran stared blankly at the other guitarist.

"Round one! Start!" Inoran moved out of the ring, and he pressed the bell.

Sugizo moved forward, taking his position. Ryuichi looked more relax. He moved closer to his lover, ready to give him a punch. Sugi jabbed Ryu in sudden but he failed. Ryu was faster; suddenly the vocalist held Sugizo’s stomach gently. Sugizo stopped, huh? He looked up to see Ryuichi’s face and saw him smiling seductively. Sugizo’s heartbeat went fast, Ryu? The next thing he realized was Ryuichi’s boxing glove landed on his left cheek, hard. It took his a moment to realize what happened but the bell rung again, faintly he could hear Inoran said

"Boxing lesson number one. Ryu gets one point" Inoran rang the bell again, "Round two! Fight!"

Sugizo was blurred, he couldn’t really fight properly. His mind was occupied with many questions about his lover acting so weird! He gave Ryu a jab, again he failed. Ryuichi pushed him, he tried to push Ryu too so they both hugged each other (I don’t really know boxing so I don’t know what it’s called). Sugizo was stronger so Ryuichi was pushed backwards. Sugizo tried to punch him on his stomach; he almost did it, but suddenly…

"Sugi…" a seductive voice whispered his name. Those lips were closed to his right ear. He could feel Ryuichi’s breath tickling his neck. He forgot the punch, instead he stood there amazed by Ryu’s closeness. Then he felt Ryu’s tongue licking his earlobe teasingly. He was totally confused, he almost closed his eyes but suddenly a hard jab landed on his stomach.

"KHz…." Sugizo was utterly speechless. The shock was more painful than the jab. He bent down holding his stomach.

"Boxing lesson number two. Ryu gets another point. Round three, fight!" Inoran rang the bell.

What the hell is this?! Sugizo could see Ryuichi getting in position. He tried to concentrate but he couldn’t! What the heck is going on?!

Ryuichi moved closer again, this time Sugizo made sure he wouldn’t be fooled by his lover’s trick! This is his game! Both of them tried to give punches on each other’s stomach. But they ended up pushing each other again. Suddenly Ryuichi moved his hands; Sugizo got a chance to jab his stomach, but Sugizo stopped for a second. He doubted that he should jab that fragile looking torso…it took him few seconds to realize that Ryu’s hands were on his back, slowly moved down. Sugizo gasped as they touched his butt gently.

"Enough!!!" Sugizo quickly pushed Ryu away, his face blushed in anger.

Inoran went into the ring, "Relax Sugi! It’s only a game!"

Sugizo glared at him, "Shut up!" he snapped. Then he walked out of the ring, sped up to the changing room. He couldn’t be bothered to take a shower so he just packed his stuff and walked away. Ryuichi stood frozen on the ring with Inoran beside him. Inoran felt guilty,

"Ino-chan! What’s with Sugi?! He looked pissed!" J walked slowly not realizing what had happened. He just came back from the café and bumped into Sugizo.

"Don’t worry Ino. I’ll take care of him. Ja!" Ryuichi smiled to them, and disappeared to the changing room.

"This is weird" Both J and Inoran said almost in the same time.

*

"Come on Sugi-chan! It’s just a game" Ryuichi sat on the chair looking at his lover. They were in the kitchen and Sugizo was trying to kill himself with ice cream.

No replied.

"Yuu, are you mad at me?" Ryuichi tried not to smile though Sugizo wasn’t facing him. He was happy to see his lover behaving like that. Sugizo looked so cute…he had finished a big box of ice cream and now he attempted to finish the second one.

"What’s the point of that? What’s the point of not coming back here last night and tricking me that way in practice just now?!" Sugizo turned back facing his lover.

"The point is…I want to know how much you care about me" Ryuichi walked towards Sugizo.

"What? Care? What’s boxing got to do with care?!" Sugizo joined his eyebrows.

"Sugi! There’re many many times when you could win the game but you didn’t! Why didn’t you punch me just now…you had the chance!" Ryuichi looked at him closely.

"I don’t know…I…" Sugizo stuttered.

"Sugi…I’m not that weak ok? Your jabs were hard when you gave them to other people! When we practiced they were either soft or always miss. Why? Don’t protect me!"

"You would never understand how I feel!" Sugizo pushed Ryuichi aside and walked towards the living room.

"And everytime we started to talk about us you ran away! Like now!" Ryuichi yelled. Sugizo ignored him, silence filled the apartment. Ryuichi got angry being ignored so much, so he sat down beside Sugizo. The guitarist was still eating ice cream from the big box with a huge spoon. Ryuichi tried not to laugh. Sugizo looked so cute! But…

"Sugi! Why don’t you want to talk about us?! And why do you always act so strange everytime I tired to talk about Luna? I care about you and your daughter!" Ryuichi started to talk slowly, asking questions that had filled his mind for a long long time.

Sugizo rolled his eyes, ignoring Ryuichi again.

"Sugihara! I want the answers now! I’m sick of being ignored by you!" Ryuichi yelled near Sugizo’s ear. He grabbed the guitarist’s shirt (yes, he wears one now).

Sugizo pushed Ryuichi aside again. This time it was hard. "Shut up! I’ve told you that you would never understand how I feel!"

‘How do you feel?!" Ryuichi joined his eyebrows. "You never told me!"

"How can I talk about my daughter with my boyfriend?"

"Why can’t you?!"

Sugizo shook his head slowly, ‘" Ryu, I can’t. I know you! Whatever I say about Luna will upset you!"

Ryuichi was amazed by Sugizo, the guitarist thought about him that far. He didn’t even think what Luna would make him feel. He fell silent, he knew Sugizo was right.

"Aishiteru…Ryu…"

Ryuichi sat there frozen. He couldn’t believe his ears.

"I fall in love with you…that’s why I don’t want to hurt you! I saw that look in your eyes everytime I talk to Luna or when she came to visit me. You looked hurt! I can’t do it!" Sugizo held Ryuichi’s cheeks and kissed his lips.

"You look so fragile everytime I tried to land jabs on you. Like just now…I spent few seconds thinking about landing a jab on your stomach" Sugizo looked at him lovingly. Ryuichi shook his head,

"Are you sure? You love me?"

Sugizo nodded and kissed him again. He pushed Ryuichi down on the couch. Then he smiled seductively.

"Do you want me to prove it?"

Ryuichi laughed.

"Hai!"

*

He popped his head out from the blanket; then he looked around. The room was dark, confused, he turned his head to the window. Faintly he heard thunders then he heard rain pouring down from the sky. He glanced at the alarm clock, 6.45 am. The rain must be really heavy, he thought but didn’t know since when it started. Suddenly he felt cold, so he moved to his left looking for something, someone.

J put his arm around Inoran as he closed his eyes again. The bassist stroke Inoran’s back lightly. He knew the guitarist was sleeping. He opened his eyes, decided to touch Inoran’s hair, Inoran’s cheeks and studied his face.

J smiled to himself, Inoran looked so cute. The guitarist loved cute things but hate being call cute! That’s weird!

He touched Inoran’s hair and brushed it with his hand gently. The bassist took Inoran’s fringe and started to braid it. He smiled to himself again.

"What are you doing?" Inoran’s eyes were closed, his expression was as calm as ever. This gave J a huge fright.

"Ino-chan! I thought you’re sleeping!" J jumped up.

"I was until somebody moved his head and woke me up" Inoran replied with eyes still closed. J blushed, the whole time? Inoran smiled, "Hai! The whole time!" the bassist raised both his eyebrows. "Yes, I can read your mind" J suddenly tickled Inoran. The guitarist finally opened his eyes, "What are you doing?" he asked. J smiled and climbed up his body. "What we did last night" J started to kiss him softly. He kissed back for sure. Inoran’s hands were on J’s back gently stroking and feeling his spine. J’s hands were under the blanket roaming around (hm…)

Suddenly the phone rang.

"Ignore it…" J mumbled before starting to kiss Inoran again. Inoran’s hands stopped feeling J’s back. The bassist moved down kissing his lover’s neck. He bit it few times until Inoran laughed in tickle. The phone still didn’t give up ringing.

"J…" Inoran finally said.

"I said ignore it!" he licked Inoran’s right nipple. The guitarist quickly pushed him away, blushing, Inoran looked at J.

"Please before we get any further!" Inoran got up picking the phone.

"Moshi-moshi…" J pouted.

"Ah!…Ohaiyo Ryu-san" J glared at the phone. Of course it is!!! Who else could that be?!

"Huh?" J saw Inoran looking surprised. "But why?…oh! Nani?!!!" Inoran widened his eyes. J joined his eyebrows. Now what?!

"Well,… when?!!!…okay, hm…"Inoran nodded. "…Are you sure you’re okay? I mean…I can go there and…" J glared at Inoran. What? HAVE TO GO NOW?

"Okay! Hai! I’ll visit you later! No?…ahhh…" Inoran smiled meaningfully.

"Ja!" Inoran finally hung up. J looked at him blankly. The bassist lay down on the bed, "What? Another boxing practice?"

"No…they had one last night" Inoran lay back down beside him. J joined his eyebrows. "Last night?"

"Hai! And Ryuichi is not coming for practice today" Inoran closed his eyes.

"Why?"

"Sugizo beat him up…badly" Inoran simply replied.

"WHAT?!!!" J instantly got up. "Is he mad?!"

Inoran opened his eyes, "J, they are lovers, it won’t be that bad. Anyway, Sugi won’t be there for practice too! It’s a good excuse that he has to take care of Ryu!" Inoran pulled J and kissed the bassist. "Now where were we?"

J still had his eyes wide open. "But why did he beat him up if he loved Ryu?!"

Inoran put his arms around J, "Because he loves Ryu" and started to kiss J’s chest. J joined his eyebrows again, "But…but…" he stopped as Inoran’s hands stroke his lower region. Inoran kissed him softly, before he moved down, he said,

"When you love people you hit them"

J’s eyes opened, hm…
