Disclaimer: Don't own em. Anybody wanna sell them to me? XD yeah and I'm also not getting paid for this. Dammit.
Comments: Okay, I admit it, I TOTALLY stole this. But it was just TOO cute, and sounded way too much like something my boys would do! So I rewrote it for them. In case s/he wants to sue me, the original was called "Out of Reach" and was written for [Bad username: myv_x_toshiya]'s 30 Theme Challenge. I don't have any idea who the author was (eep!)
So anyway...gomen, and here's the fic:
"Oyasumi!" Kaoru called back to his band members as they disappeared into their own rooms, then shut the door behind him quickly and fell against it, the happy expression crashing off his face. He sighed heavily and dropped to the floor, tossing his card key onto the nearby table as he did so. It almost hurt to be so close to Yoshiki, and yet so unable to get any closer.
Yoshiki had come to their LA concert, and had even brought them back to his house to celebrate Shinya's birthday afterward. It was so absolutely wonderful to be able to sit in his house with him as casually as they had the first time they'd kissed. To be able to share that kind of joy with him, and have it shared also between the other members of Dir en grey. But it had ended much too quickly, and the night that followed had gone by so fast Kaoru couldn't even remember what had happened. For all he knew, he could have passed out on Yoshiki's couch and been dragged into the bed beside him. It left him feeling cold in the morning, although he was still content. Now, mere weeks later and half a continent farther away, he was feeling that coldness as if he were back in Japan and it had been months since he'd so much as heard the man's voice.
Fighting back sleep, Kaoru looked up at the electric clock against the wall. 2:34 A.M. If he was asleep - and he should be - Kaoru didn't want to wake him. Unconsciously, he had pulled out his cell phone and was cradling it in one palm. He looked down at it listlessly, then dragged himself up and fell onto the hotel bed, letting the cell phone drop onto the pillow next to him. An instant later Kaoru started as his cell phone vibrated madly against the starched pillowcase. The flashing screen displayed the name and number of the man he'd just decided not to call. Hesitantly, he reached out and brought the phone to his ear.
"Moshi-moshi," he practically yawned.
"Did I wake you?" Yoshiki asked. His voice was quiet and tinted with exhaustion. Kaoru yawned fully this time and shook his head.
"No. I was just sitting here trying not to think of you." Yoshiki laughed a little.
"Oh...that's good," he said, his voice falling even lower in volume. "I was dreaming...of you." There was a pause, and Kaoru yawned again. "Kao-ai?" Yoshiki asked after a moment, his voice barely audible.
"Mm?" Kaoru responded, his eyes falling closed. He shook himself a little to stay awake.
"I love you..."
"I love you, too, tenshi," Kaoru said, but the only thing that answered him was the soft sound of Yoshiki breathing. He had fallen asleep. Smiling, Kaoru closed his eyes once more and let himself be lulled to sleep by the soothing sound.
