Kono nagai saka wo koeru toki sono saki ni naniga mieta toshitemo. Koukai wa shitakunai. Hikari to hoshi tsuzuke asu wo terashite. Aka kara ao ni kawaru SHIGUNARU....modoru koto no dekinai tabi no tochuude. Ashita wo shinjite susumitai...
The five men chatted amicably, waving as they filed past the middle-age bartender, heading for their usual booth in the back of the small tavern. Nagase Tomoya, bar owner and head keep, nodded to them as they passed, taking in the charged air around the typically mellow group.
He watched as they all took their usual seats: Jun and Ohno slidding into the inner seats; Toma and Nino entering behind them; and Shun in the chair at the head of the table. 3, 2, 1… he mentally cued them.
"Naga-nii!! Bring us the usual!!" Nino said, popping his head over the top of the booth seat. He grinned cheekily as he flashed a peace sign at the disgruntled man. "Oh, and throw in a couple of bottles of sake, yeah?"
The barkeeper rolled his eyes as he quickly put together the order. He knew the small group fairly well, being as they came in at least once a week and stayed well into the morning hours; sometimes only seeing half the group for long stretches at a time.
Nagase hefted the large tray laden with empty glasses, bottles of beer and sake, snacks, and empty dishes over to the table of friends, and expertly began laying them all out. "So," he drawled as he placed the last dish down, "what are we celebrating kids?"
Jun and Ohno were busy pouring drinks for everyone as Nino slapped Nagase on the shoulder, his grin threatening to split his face. "Yeah, c'mon already, Kazman. What's the big news?" Toma batted Shun's hands away as the tall model leaned over to grab himself a drink.
The young businessman handed Nagase his own drink as he raised his glass in the air. He grinned down at Ohno who was beaming radiantly back at him and looked around the table at everyone.
"What?! Kazu! You're killing us with this suspense!" Jun laughed anxiously. "What the fuck is going on?!"
Nino ran his hand through his hair anxiously and laughed a little hysterically. Ohno reached over to squeeze his hand, and the younger man smiled gratefully. "As of 5pm this afternoon, you are all officially being represented by Ohmiya SK Talent Management! Cheers!!"
The others watched in stunned silence as Nino and Ohno clinked their glasses together and emptied their cups in one gulp. Nagase was the first to recover. "It's about damn time you kids got your act together!!" he roared, pounding on Nino's back in approval. "I'll bring you guys another round, on me!"
"Y-You guys…is that what you've been working on lately??" Jun exclaimed, still recovering from his shock.
Nino smirked as Ohno refilled his cup. "Yeah, and its been a bitch and a half, what with all the bureaucratic bullshit and red-tape and fine print, blah, blah, blah," Nino emphasized with a flip of his wrist. "But, we are now a full-fledged talent agency. And we'll probably be getting more hires if the ones that Satoshi knows are interested."
"CHICKS!" Shun exclaimed excitedly. "Please tell me you're bringing some fine women into this business?!"
Ohno laughed into his drink. "Well…he is kinda pretty…" he pondered aloud.
"Good enough for Shun," Toma snickered, yelping when the tall model smacked him in the head.
"So, what does this mean, then," Jun asked seriously.
The table quieted down to listen as Nino drew in a deep breath. "Well," he began slowly, "ultimately, we want to expand. We want more work for you guys, more models in general, maybe a couple more agents and photographers." Nino's eyes were shining with excitement as he laid their hopes on the table before them. "But, first. We want you guys to do more!"
"More, what does that mean? More?" Toma asked softly.
"We're doing great with the catalog contracts and the print contracts in general," Ohno said sipping his drink, "but, we want to do more." He pointed at Shun, who choked on his drink. "You were born to walk the runway," he said seriously. "We want to see you in New York and Milan, strutting your stuff, and owning it!"
Toma snickered at the blush that appeared on Shun's stunned face and punched the older man in the arm playfully. "And Toma," Ohno continued, "you'd be great doing acting. More, you know?" Toma smiled as the artist's voice trailed off, losing himself in his thoughts.
"And if we get more photographers, then Satoshi could work on some of the other projects that he's been wanting to do," Nino chimed in, smiling when Ohno bumped his shoulder playfully.
"What about Jun?" Shun asked finally.
Jun smiled at Shun before looking at Ohno. "I want to learn photography," he said simply. Ohno nodded his agreement as he raised his glass to Jun, and downed the rest of his drink.
"More," Nino grinned, looking around the table. "And we want you all to be right at the heart of it."
"MORE!!" Shun crowed, pounding on the table excitedly. "MORE DRINKS!!"

They drank cheerfully, talking loudly about what their future could be, with Nagase interjecting his wit with every new round he brought. Close to midnight, as they finished what was left in their cups, a softly uttered, "I feel like dancing…" from Ohno had Nino kicking everyone out of the booth and ushering them hastily out of the bar.
Jun waved at Nagase as he stumbled past, pulling Toma behind him.
Shun high-fived the amused barkeeper as he sauntered after the drunken party. "Keep 'em outta trouble, Oguri," Nagase called after him. Shun pumped his fist in the air twice as he exited the bar.
__
They'd been dancing for two hours straight, the alcohol slowly burning out of their system only to be replaced by a different kind of fire.
Jun scanned the crowd quickly, his eyes picking out the top of Ohno's head, as he twirled sensually around Nino, his hips gyrating in tight circles, in time to the blaring music. He grinned at the gallery of spectators that the older man had gained with his sinful moves and laughed to himself at the thought of Nino gnashing his teeth possessively at anyone who strayed too close.
His eyes sought out Toma next, and quickly found him perched on a tall stool, at the bar closest to the corner of the dance floor that he and Shun were currently dancing at, nursing his bottle of beer. The younger man had declared his need for a breather and a drink, two songs ago, and hadn't moved from his seat since. Jun pouted as he turned his attention back to the pounding bass line, his body swaying unconsciously.
"You know the fastest way to make him come running, don't you?" Shun purred into Jun's ear as he stepped closer to the younger man, molding his body to Jun's back as his arm snaked around the smaller man's waist. Jun smirked as he raised his arms to loop lazily around Shun's neck, his head falling to the side so that Shun could nuzzle his face into Jun's neck. Jun's eyes were locked with Toma's across the dance floor, the younger man's face scrunched up in an exaggerated pout.
"Is he watching?" Shun murmured, his breath puffing gently against the sensitive skin of Jun's throat. Jun grunted an affirmative and shivered when Shun nipped him behind the ear. "Good," the older man chuckled. "Work your magic."
Jun smirked as he let his arms drop, one hand twining with Shun's at his waist, and the other dragging down his chest enticingly as he rolled his hips to the beat. Shun chuckled as he gave Jun room to move, appreciating the flexibility and grace of Jun's body and…whoa...a full body roll that he definitely picked up from Ohno.
The frantic bass line melted into a steady heartbeat and Jun turned to face the older man, amusement and mischief alight in Shun's eyes. "He still watching?" Jun murmured wrapping his arms loosely around the taller man's waist.
Shun smirked as he draped his arms over Jun's shoulders. "Of course," he said with a laugh.
"Good," Jun mumbled as he started moving to the slow beat, his hips rolling slowly against and with Shun's, as the older man mirrored Jun's movements.
"Jun…" Shun groaned as the younger man turned again and started grinding his ass against Shun's crotch. He gripped Jun's waist tightly with one hand as he ground back against Jun, receiving a knowing smirk from the younger man from over his shoulder. "You're such a fucking tease…" Shun growled, pulling the younger man flush against him from hip to chest. "…and I'm not talking about Toma, either."
Jun laughed as he turned around in Shun's loose grip, smiling smugly as he pressed his lips to Shun's lightly. The older man's grip on Jun's waist tightened as he pulled Jun closer, but Jun only smiled as he pulled away, his eyes alight with laughter.
He gasped, suddenly, when a pair of arms secured themselves around his waist in a tight embrace, but relaxed a moment later. "Toma…" he sighed, tilting his head back to rest on the younger man's shoulder.
Toma nuzzled his face into Jun's tousled hair, instinctively falling into step with the sway of Jun's body. "Ok, enough already," he mumbled, glancing up at Shun.
Shun leered and tightened his hold on Jun's shoulders. "Come back in five minutes," he said to the younger man, "it was just getting good."
Jun smirked; his hand on Shun's waist pulled the older man in closer while Jun's other hand snagged the front pocket of Toma's jeans and pulled him flush against his back. Jun closed his eyes and hummed happily as the three swayed in sync to the slow music. Here, in this moment, he felt safe and loved, and most of all, happy.
As the music picked up again, Jun turned in Toma's embrace and looped his arms around the younger man's neck, bringing their foreheads to rest together. "I was just taking a break…" Toma whined softly as his lips grazed gently over the shell of Jun's ear.
The older man shivered as he nuzzled his cheek against Toma's. "I know, and I was just dancing…" he said with a quirk of his lips. Shun chuckled as he continued to sway in time to Jun's movements.
"Seriously," Toma mumbled, his head tilting to look past Jun, "get off my boyfriend."
"Get your own, little man!" Shun chortled, his hands tightening on Jun's waist. "I was here first!"
Jun grasped Toma's face in his hands just as the younger man opened his mouth to retort, and silenced him with a hungry kiss. Toma groaned as Jun's tongue pushed past his pliant lips and tangled with his own. They battled briefly for dominance over the kiss, when Shun groaned loudly and pulled away from Jun.
"Ugh, gross. Junster, way to kill a good boner man…geezus fuck."
Jun laughed breathlessly, his cheeks painted with a faint blush, as he stepped away from Toma, an arm wrapped possessively around the younger man.
Dazed and head reeling, Toma grinned as he threw an arm around Jun's shoulders. He winked at Shun as he flexed with his free arm, a hoarse, "BABY!!!" erupting from him.
