When he acts shy
-Say, ‘I love you.”
Ruki was sat on the couch near Reita, his head was bowed and he seemed to be finding his fingernails the most interesting thing in the room.
“Ruki, you alright?” The deep sound of Reita’s voice seeming to bestow the vocalist a shiver that was not needed at that moment in time.
“Yeah…I’m fine.” Even his voice seemed slightly shaky to himself.
Cocking an eyebrow Reita moved closer to the man currently fidgeting on his couch.
“Sure?”
“Yup.” Twitch.
“Ruki…”
“Never better!” Another twitch.
Remembering what he was speaking to Uruha about earlier the bassist observed the other.
Of course! All the signs were there.
“Ruki…”
“Yeah Rei?”
“I love you.”
When he runs away from you
-Chase him.
“Ruki!” Mentally cursing Reita abandoned his bass and was about to leave when three curious band members were staring at him.
“I’ll go talk to him.” And with that he was out the door on the search for the missing vocalist.
After searching high and low for the one named Ruki, Reita decided to check the back door to the studio. Low and behold there was said vocalist crouched down low aside the wall.
“Ruki…” Hearing his voice spoken so softly Ruki turned up his eyes widening only a fraction before he looked back down to the concrete below him. The warmth beside him was so inviting as Reita sat down legs spread in front of him.
“What’s wrong?” Turning to look at the bassist Ruki couldn’t keep his body upright for much longer as he fell into the arms of his lover.
“Ruki…baby…” Reita soothed, his arms wrapped around the other holding him close to his chest.
Ruki couldn’t keep running forever.
When he puts his face near yours
- Kiss him
Sunlight streamed through the blinds covering the window, revealing limbs that were currently entwined together and a duvet that was crumpled and hardly covered the two bodies at all. The warmth of the sun on Ruki’s skin caused the vocalist to stir, his grip tightening around Reita’s waist. A low chuckle emitted from the taller.
“You’re awake…” Ruki whispered opening his eyes…very slowly.
Reita had to fight the urge to laugh at how adorable Ruki looked when he woke up. He wasn’t a fast riser, truth be told.
”Yeah…” Reita breathed bowing his head slightly, closer to Ruki’s. Taking the hint Ruki tilted his face, their lips meeting together in the early morning.
When he kicks and punches
- Hold him tight
It was the dead of night and Reita was starting to toss and turn in the bed. His constant movement waking up a groggy Ruki.
“Rei?” His voice croaky seeing as was very, very late…or early. The bassist seemed not to notice his name and carried on kicking and punching at …well nothing.
“Shit.” Was all Ruki could muster as he threw his arms around the bassist to try and calm him down.
“Rei…Rei!…Wake up!” The vocalist pleaded doing all he could to wake Reita. Wrapping himself around the other he held onto him tight trying to give some reassurance to the man that was currently fighting the air.
It was torture for Ruki to have to watch the one he loved go through these nightmares and knowing he could not do anything but hold him tight.
Be his anchor…
When he is silent
-He is thinking of how to say I love you
Ruki tilted his head as he watched the bassist. He seemed to be thinking really hard …either that or was concentrating on being able to move the table with his mind power… the first option seemed more plausible.
“Rei?” Ruki murmured catching the others attention quickly.
“Anything wrong?”
“Nah.” He was back to trying to move the table with his mind power …or thinking really hard.
“Okay then.” Ruki answered not believing Reita fully.
I can’t go up to him and blatantly go, ‘I love you.’ Well… I suppose I could but then it would seem like a joke. Hmm what to do, what to do… Flowers? Nah Ruki doesn’t see the big deal with them …and he’d probably laugh at me and call me a wuss. Hmm…How to say I love you.
When he ignores you
- He wants all your attention.
“Reita…” Ruki drawled attempting to gain Reita’s attention. The bassist seemed off with him all day since the live at the Yokohama arena and he wanted to know why.
“Rei-chan~…what’s up~.” Ruki pressed his hand against Reita’s back but it didn’t seem to get any affect at all.
“Rei-chan, talk to me.” Ruki urged shifting closer so he was right behind the bassist on the bed. It was official Reita was ignoring him. Why though.
“Reita talk to me, please.” Ruki was starting to get desperate thinking something had gone dreadfully wrong. That was until the one in front of him muttered something incomprehensible.
“Ya wha?” Ruki knelt confused behind Reita.
“Stupid bike.”
Blinking for a few seconds Ruki’s mouth formed into a smirk.
“So this is what it is about.” Ruki chuckled wrapping his arms around the neck of his lover and pulling himself around so he could fall into the others lap.
“So you were ignoring me for a bike?”
Reita blushed slightly at this and bowed his head. Reita was cute with the pinkish blush staining his flawless cheeks.
“Hey…” Ruki whispered leaning up to kiss his lovers nose. “You’re the centre of my attention y’know.”
Growling softly Reita bowed his head again but towards Ruki pressing their lips together harshly causing Ruki to gasp softly. Repositioning themselves Ruki found himself pinned underneath Reita, Reita’s lips hanging so close but yet so far from his lips.
“My attention is on you.” Ruki whispered their breaths mingling together before Reita captured Ruki’s with his own.
When he says you are crazy
- He is really crazy about you.
Both males were running.
Where?
Who cares?
Why?
Does it matter why?
They were just running.
“Rei where are we going?”
“Do you really care?”
“You’re crazy.”
Leaning against the lamppost they had just stopped at Reita pulled the shorter close to him, their breaths could be seen in the late afternoon air.
“If I’m crazy then what about you?”
“I’m crazy about you.”
And they were off again. Running yet again.
Where?
Who cares?
Why?
Because they love each other.
When he pulls away
-Grab him by the waist and never let go.
“Ruki!” The vocalist was in the action of running from the bassist. Small tears threatened to escape but they managed to stay, so not to ruin his pride. He just wanted to run away, somewhere where the bassist would not be.
“Ruki please.” The bassist pleaded pulling the smaller back to him, intent on not allowing him to flee.
Once the vocalist stopped struggling…well stop struggling as violently as before, Reita rested his hands on the others waist, wrapping him in a warm embrace.
“Please don’t run from me.” Reita whispered into Ruki’s ear, holding his lover tightly against himself.
When you see him at his worst.
- Tell him he’s beautiful.
“Reita!” Ruki yelled his fists banging against the bathroom door concern and worry flooding through his body. “Please Reita let me in!” The vocalist pleaded.
Ruki had just managed a glimpse of the other when he rushed in and locked himself in the bathroom and what he saw was quite surprising to say the least. Someone had emotionally hurt him.
“No…I’ll be out soon just…Go do something or whatever.” Reita’s voice sounded muffled as it reached the blondes ears.
“Reita if you don’t let me in I’ll break the door down!” Ruki yelled yet again.
“Yeah right.”
Thump.
Thump. Thump.
The door opened as Ruki was about to ram his shoulder into it again, getting caught by Reita he stood up quickly.
“Ruki! That’s stupid and you know it.”
“You wouldn’t let me in and it’s the only thing I could think of.” Reasoned Ruki as he straightened himself to look at Reita. Said bassist shrunk at the scrutiny of the others gaze.
“Rei…” Ruki breathed a hand coming up to rest on his cheek. “What happened?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Reita brushed off moving to sweep his lovers hand off his face.
“Doesn’t matter?” Exclaimed Ruki eyes wide. “Reita you just came in, went straight to the bathroom and not spoken to me since this morning and on top of that you’re crying.”
As he finished talking slowly more tears made their way down the others face.
“Don’t look at me then.” Reita murmured trying to turn his back on the vocalist.
“Oh no you don’t.” Ruki grabbed the others arm spinning him around and throwing his arms around his neck, pulling the other into a soft yet strong embrace.
”You’re beautiful, why would I not want to look at you.”
Reita just scoffed at this.
“Reita~” Ruki warned before smiling at him causing Reita to smile sadly back.
“Talk to me.”
When he screams at you
-Tell him you love him but mean it.
“You want to know why?!” Ruki’s voice had rose in frustration and intensity. He was desperately attempting to keep the salty tears inside his eyes as Reita stood in front of him, looking straight in his eyes searching for something.
“I just can’t take it anymore! Do you know how hard it is to see the one you love flirting with other people? Over and over again? It tears me up so badly knowing you’ll never want to be with me because I’m only your best friend.” Pausing, Ruki took a deep breath steadying the onslaught of emotions. “I love you. I fucking love you Reita.” He was screaming now, refusing to look up at the bassist.
“I love you…can’t you see?” Giving in, Ruki let himself cry, the harsh sobs and the tears making their way down his cheeks. Suddenly he felt himself pressed against something firm and blinking a few times, he realized that it was the bassist holding him as he was shaking.
Fuck, when did I get so pathetic? A small voice whispered in his mind as he was enveloped harder in the others embrace.
“You’re not pathetic.”
Shit. He had said it out loud.
“And Ruki…” With two fingers, Reita tilted the other mans head to look at him. “I love you too.”
With the look of shock on Ruki’s face, Reita pushed them together, connected at the lips.
When you see him walking
- Sneak up behind him, grab him by the waist and kiss him.
Smirking Ruki saw the other ahead of him. Giving the other a … perfect view of his damn fine behind. Quickening his pace Ruki attempted to catch up with the other.
Once close enough the vocalist pounced giggling.
“Ruki!”
Pulling the other by the waist, Ruki dragged Reita to a more private area and turned around. Pushing himself onto his toes Ruki dragged his lips across the others. Both groaning at the contact, Reita settled his hands on Ruki’s hips the other resting between the others shoulder blades.
Breaking off gently, both had twin dorky smiles on their faces.
“Hello you.”
When he is scared
- Hold him and tell him everything is going to be ok because you are there.
The photos slipped from his grasp as he dropped onto the couch. His entire form shaking from what they presented. Who took these? Who in the hell took the damn photographs? Not just any photographs but ones from when he is around the house. Doing regular day-to-day things, then ones not so …appropriate for public viewing. The ones of him and his lover together, joined in deep intimacy and in the aftermath.
“Ruki?” A voice broke him out of his reverie. “Hey…are you ok?” Reita’s concerned voice nearly made Ruki want to cry.
“Someone…” He couldn’t say it… he just couldn’t.
With a sigh Ruki pointed to the photos waiting for the others reaction.
“Who in the hell…” Reita looked at his lover his face softening as he saw the other was shaking.
“Ssh Ruki it’ll be ok, we’ll find out who took these.” The bassist assured Ruki, holding him tight against him.
“It’ll be ok and nothing will happen to you…you have me.”
When he looks like something is wrong
-Kiss him and tell him not to worry
Both males were sat in the car. Both nervous although one more then the other. Ruki kept fidgeting with his hands as his eyes kept darting towards the house, at Reita then back down to his hands. Nervously chewing on his bottom lip until it was red and raw.
Bringing one hand to stop Ruki’s nervousness and the other to release the abused lip, Reita leant forward staring straight into his lovers eyes as he pressed a gently kiss against the others lips.
“Don’t worry. If it turns out for the worst we’ll get out of there and I’ll take you home.” Reita assured Ruki with a hand resting on his cheek. Fluttering his eyes closed and leaning into the touch Ruki let out a small sigh.
“Ok let’s go.”
With that they were out to Ruki’s parents. Ready to tell them the two of them were together and the fact Ruki was gay as well as Reita or Bi or whatever didn’t matter cause they had each other. To the father who disowned Ruki saying he would never make it in a band…what would he now say about having a male lover?
While he holds your hand.
- Play with his fingers
Both men were sat on a bench in the chilly night air both just enjoying each other’s company. Smiling Ruki looked at the man beside him. The person who has made his life utterly amazing. The laughs they shared, the passionate touches, caresses and kisses, the days spent together, the music they create, the hot nights in bed as well as the nights they just held each other. The feeling of warmth and love they held everyday thanks to each other.
Noticing the others attention Reita linked their fingers together smiling at the childlike expression on his boyfriends face, his dark eyes shining with amusement as they sat side by side.
Bringing they interlocked fingers in front of him the vocalist began to twist his fingers in odd directions. Playing with their digits as they sat in the blissful silence.
