Summary: The infamous SagaxShou fanservice has left Saga with a mind to be with Shou but will the other concur?
Notes: Sorry if this sounds really random. P:
Saga sat lazily on the couch, slouching and licking his lips for the thousanth time. Then, brought upon a slender finger to touch his lips, reassuring himself that they were still there. It was after the Alice In Wonderland live and the band was spent. They were all thinking of going out and chugging beer to see who would get sober first. It was practically a tradition. Though, the lethargic bassist was still in thought about the his kiss with Shou during the life. it was surely be notorious. It was when Saga was on a high-- not thinking or really seeing about what he was doing. Shou saultered by and took him by the neck. The next movement, would be obvious-- fanservice. Saga leaned in naturally and kissed the angelic vocalist's plump lips and then moved to plant another few on his sweet sweat drenched head. It left Saga thinking: why has that kiss left Saga burn and tingle inside? Was it possible for affections to grow between him and his bandmate?
On cue, the band's drummer walked by and hit Saga on the head with a -thankfuly- empty waterbottle playfully.
"Hey. You look lost." Nao said with a amused look, waving his hand childishly in front of the pretty bass player.
"Huh? Oh. IwaslookingforShou." Saga mumbled, blinking.
"Say What? Shou's.. over there," The shorter of the two pointed his finger to a curtain. Shou's slim figure was half-hidden behind it, talking enthusiastically to Tora, bobbing his head up and down and signalling his hands in a circular movement. Even somewhat hidden, he could sense his unique charisma. He changed his flashy outfit and now wore comfortable sweats and a Alice in Wonderland t-shirt but still looked attractive, Saga noted.
"Thanks." giving a nod to Nao and picking himself up to walk towards the vocalist.
Now, Saga had really no clue what to say to the man but he was determined. maybe i'll ask him out to eat sometime. He smiled to himself; thinking that was a good idea and his heart started to flutter as he approached towards the singer.
"...I know! The lights were really amazing, phasing in and ou- Oh, hey Saga." Shou grinned at the figure that stood next to him like a child, listening to the taller one's conversation. Saga was watching Shou, especially. His plush peach lips in comparison with his paled face framed with streams of vanilla-dyed hair mixed with his naturally dark hair. His long skinny fingers gripping onto the waist of the pants and his lean poised figure. Okay, Saga was starting to have a attraction towards the man, and it was kind of freaking him out.
"Yeah, I'm going to go home and take a shower. I can't stand changing in public areas. So, I'll meet you guys at dinner tonight. Bye Shou, Saga." Tora waved and strided off in another direction, slinging his leather jacket over his broad shoulders.
Shou shifted his body towards the bass player- "Um, Hi?" Shou chuckled to break the wierd moment.
Saga looked at him for a good moment before responding back; rather awkwardly. "Good live, wasn't it?"
"The crowd was awesome. Our fanservice really won, didn't it?!" Shou said with a friendly grin.
Saga showed a wide toothy smile. He was happy the other remembered the kiss because he sure did! Now, it was easier to talk about it because if he were to suddenly bring up the kiss, it would probably be one of the most awkwardest conversations ever. Saga, he admited, was not a very flowy conversationalist. "Yeah, the audience really liked it. It was pretty good; We should do it again." WHAT?! Saga did a mental face-palm. very smooth.
Amused, the vocalist laughed. "Uh, yeah. I guess it was.." Still laughing.
Trying to hide his possibly blushed face, the bassist used his hand to cover the left side of his cheek. "Eh- I meant to say.. Shou, would you mind going somewhere with me tomorrow? maybe have coffee or something?" There, he finally said it- finally breathed (more like stutter) out the words. Saga angled himself uneasily as he waiting for the response from the older one. He didnt know what Shou would say really, the aproach was pretty random. and queer.
On cue, the vocalist's voice died out and he looked at the bassist, as if testing his ears to what he thought he just heard. The invitation was shocking to the man- he didn't see it coming. He thought that the relationship between the two bandmembers was strictly friends-only. apprarently, he thought wrong and Shou better act quick because the man in front of him was growing impaitient for an answer to the date.
Shou sighed. He never thought he would have to face this situation; he didnt want conflict. He had no choice- he didnt want to lie to the handsome bandmate.
"Saga, th- that was fanservice." A shaky voice from the pretty vocalist.
The words stung Saga. The air was tense, dead silent. He would rather have Nao jump into the conversation and say something random to break it than continue facing the rejected invitation. Now, Saga was understanding. He knew it was fanservice as well but he denied the possibility that it meant nothing. He thought, it could have been something he felt more than just a band's devotion for a good show for the audience. It was worth a shot. His move could be on the verge of breaking the band, but Saga really needed to know--
"Did it really mean nothing?" Saga blurted out. The younger one wasn't prepared for the rejection. And didn't know how to play in such games of love, or lust. How innocent he could be.
Meakly, the taller one spoke. "No, it really didn't. Saga, I thought you knew that." At last, an answer.
Holding back all his emotions- his regret, his sorrow, his pain.. and his hot seemingly uncontrollable tears. The bass player simply nodded.
He didnt think the situation needed any more explaination. Lost for any kind of words, he gathered his strength again and started to walk away. But, slim fingers catched his anorexic wrist and pulled his back- not taht he has any kind of power to fight back. and found himself now, staring back into the large disc-like eyes of Shou. Lustful hurting. Closing his eyes, he snatched his hand back. Slowly, he waited for a response.
"Saga, I've changed my mind, I will go out with you" It was barely audible. You would really have to be where Saga was standing to listen to the timid voice- it seemed, forced. But still, it gave Saga a wave of hope.
"Um.. you- is this real?" This man sure is fickle. Leaving the younger one confused. And at the moment, he couldnt help but smile again. Oh, Shou was playing with him alright. Love could make the strongest man fall to their knees. He knew, that Shou just broke his heart. But, he also knew that Shou was the only person that could fix it now too.
"Yeah. I don't want our band to fall apart just because of this." Shou's stern eyes met Saga's once again.
"Buh-- What did you say?!" This time, anger overode the sadness in Saga's heart. Bitch. He couldn't believe what the other had just said.
"You're doing this to save the band?" He said through gritted teeth.
The singer hesitated as if trying to put it the most appropriate way possibe. "Yes." The face that Saga saw was the most serious face he's ever seen in his bandmate. His lips were not twisted in any warming smile. He couldn't read him. As if, he was seeing Shou as a different person.. Their eyes were locked so intenesly together, Saga's head started to ache. "I'm not going to have this band fall apart."
"Fuck you" Thankfully, his legs began to gain speed again and he broke off the eye contact with the incredibly ludacris reasoning of the singer to another direction.
"Saga! Were you listening to me? What are you doing?" But it was too late to stop the bassist, as he has already rammed through the backstage doors to the lobby, his asylum.
In solitude, Saga slid painfully down the wall, his bottom meeting contact with the cold hard floor but that wasn't before steamy tears smeared his eyes and taking rabid paths down his smooth flawless cheeks. Clutching tightly to the seams of his clothes and rying soundlessly- He didn't care if anyone were to watch him. Oh, this was the end of alice nine. This was the end.
