IMPORTANT: First, before anyone reads, I must apologize to both you all and my editor, I wrote this about two days ago and I knew I wouldn’t be able to give it to my editor and ask to have it back in two days, especially since she has three other pieces from me XD, I don’t want to overload her, plus I really wanted this to go out for Valentines Days. (Or the day before as we can all see since I wouldn’t be able to put it up tomorrow until the evening…) So I edited this myself, and I promise I read through this more than once to catch everything…or so I hope~

“A little catholic school girl uniform?”
“Uh…yes…”
“For your girlfriend?”
“Um…y-yeah…”
“Heh, have a fun Valentines Day, dude.”
“Thanks cashier dude.”
--
“Rei-chan…”
A sigh and a smile, both belonging to Reita greeted his lover as he turned around, “Yes, Ruki?”
“How long are you going to be gone again?” Ruki’s voice was lined with what seemed like a mix of hope and sadness. The (currently) brown haired vocalist looked up at the bassist from his seat on the leather couch in Reita’s apartment. It would be ‘any other day’ had the date not come up as February fourteenth. Valentines Day.
With another small smile, but a genuine one at that, Reita leaned against the white wall that was across from the couch. “Only about three hours, sorry that it has to be on Valentines Day, I promise I’ll make it up to you later.” With that, Reita walked over to Ruki with such grace that the vocalist could only think that it added to this special day. The bassist placed a quick kiss on Ruki’s forehead before commenting, “Don’t get into to much trouble.”
Ruki only nodded with a little smile of his own touching his lips and watched as Reita headed out the door only a few yards away. The door signaled its close with a tiny ‘click’ and then, Ruki was alone. But happy.
The vocalist sprung up with a grin painted on his face and a blush rising on his cheeks. He dashed over to Reita’s (and in a way, Ruki’s second-home kind of way) bedroom and practically skipped over to the closet. He’d have to act fast if he wanted to properly prepare himself before Reita returned.
+★+
“Rei-chan…” Ruki cooed into Reita’s ear.
“God you sound drunk, Ruki.” Reita replied with a content smile on his face, clearly amused by Ruki’s affection. He scooted closer, if possible, to the vocalist on the couch, settling into the warm surroundings of the material and Ruki himself. The sun was setting, and Reita could see out of the corner of his eye from the window that the stars and moon were starting to pop out. It was like a routine now that the two settle down on the couch in the evening, which normally resulted in Ruki’s overly affectionate side coming out. Not that the bassist minded.
“You know I don’t drink…” Ruki once again cooed, only this time the vocalist mouth was placing tiny kisses onto Reita’s, his words dragged out and slow. “I’m drunk off you.”
“How original. Now what is it, you horny little thing?”
“Oh shut it. I want to know though…” Ruki took the time to pause in mid sentence and kiss the bassist’s collar bone. “If you could do one thing to me, what would it be?”
“Have sex with you.”
“Nooo…” Ruki tried to make a fake pout, but failed as a smile rose to his lips. “I mean…like…other than that.”
“Wow that narrowed it down.” But with that, Reita seemed to be taking in the question to think about it. It took him another moment before finally answering. “I think it’d be funny to see you in a skirt…”
+★+
Ruki smirked fondly at the memory as he opened the drawer of the wooden nightstand next to the perfectly made bed. The vocalist took note at how Reita had changed to sheets from their normal plain tanned color to a silky red. That alone only added to Ruki’s anticipation.
Despite the oddity of it, Ruki was kind of glad that Reita would have to take a leave of absence for a few hours. To Ruki, it seemed that it would just flow more smoothly if Reita came home and found him dressed up like a little schoolgirl than there being the pause between something intimate with a ‘oh, hold on for a minute.’ Ruki liked the idea of not having to go through the pause, plus, with a ‘few hours’ on his side, he had much more time to prefect his look than the few minutes he might have had. In all his excitement, Ruki hadn’t even asked where Reita was going, but at the moment it really didn’t seem to matter.
As Ruki’s fingers wound around the knobs of the drawer and slid the wooden compartment open, Ruki could see his ‘uniform.’ He wasn’t happy that he had to wear it, it was more like he was happy that it would get a rise out of Reita from wearing it.
The fabric was soft to the touch and creamy white in color, the shirt anyways. The skirt was a blue plaid that came with a matching plaid tie. The supposedly traditional Catholic School Girl outfit. Ruki’s lips twisted into what seemed like a grin and a frown all at the same time. It was certainly different from his normal wear. Counting both daily and stage outfits. He was overly thankful that no one besides Reita would see this, if even Aoi of Uruha caught wind of this, he’d be hearing about it for weeks.
It was no problem to just put the outfit on and wait, but Ruki wanted to do so much more. Before even buying the outfit, he had managed to swipe some of the lip gloss that Uruha had from the makeup counter from backstage at a show. He’d also managed to get his hands on two hair ties. He was thinking of doing something absolutely humiliating to himself. Pigtails. Perhaps he shouldn’t be thinking about his pride being diminished by this since some artist did things like this on daily basses, but it was just so weird for Ruki. All for Reita was what he kept telling himself.
Clutching the outfit tightly, Ruki scampered off to the bathroom to ‘prep himself up.’
+★+
“A skirt?” Ruki quickly replied, surprised by the answer.
“Yes.” The bassist responded casually as if being asked ‘Is it Tuesday?’ His eyes wandered over to meet Ruki’s. And the vocalist could see that he probably wasn’t kidding, a small smirk was etched onto Reita’s face.
“Why a skirt?” now Ruki was intrigued. Was this some sort of fetish? A new fling? Simply curiosity? Ruki wanted to know. So as if to egg him on further, Ruki quickly scooted into the bassist lap. “Tell me…”
“Well…” Reita started, dragging out the end of the word. “I really don’t know. It’s just that since we see other bands with cross dressers I’ve always thought it would be funny to have one of us do it as a joke. The obvious would be Uruha, but you…” Reita paused for a second to place a quick kiss on Ruki’s lips, “I’d just want to see for the fun of it. C’mon…I could lift up your skirt and…”
Ruki blushed as red as a cherry and instinctively put a hand over the bassist mouth, “I get it, I get it.”
Reita couldn’t help but let a deep chuckle escape his lips at his lover’s embarrassment. “Okay, I won’t say it...” As he said that though, his hands started to wander to the waistline of Ruki’s pants. “I’ll just use what I have now.” And as the sound of a zipper unzipping was heard, Ruki still pondered the thought.
+★+
Staring at his reflection in the mirror, Ruki found that it wasn’t as easy as he had planned. Being a rock star he had gotten accustomed to putting on makeup by himself, but something about the lip-gloss and fiddling with hair ties had not been as easy as thought to be. One pigtail hung down was leveled just a little lower than the other, and his lip-gloss was smudged ever so slightly in the corner. The eyeliner had been no problem, but for some reason it had been a little overbearing against the lighter colors picked. After trying to take some of it off, he’d come out of it with the black smeared around his eyes looking like he had been crying.
Eventually he’d fixed it, but he still had the aura of ‘cross dresser on a bad day’ thing going on. The outfit hadn’t proved very difficult to put on at least. And he had luckily remembered that he had brought some black stockings with him to add to the outfit.
Ruki certainly looked like a flat chested school girl from the neck down, and the shirt cut off at his belly button as if to add sex appeal. (But then again, he did buy it at a sex shop, so one might have to assume it was made to be sexy.) The skirt was shorter than a normal skirt, that was for sure, only coming down to Ruki’s thighs. The vocalist almost wished that he could unbutton one of the buttons to add a sense of cleavage, but then again, he was just a guy in girls clothing.
A quick glance at the clock told him that he probably had around an hour and a half before Reita returned home. So with an anxious sigh, Ruki decided to head back out to the living room and watch some television, in hope that the time would pass quickly. Ruki could already image the look on Reita’s face when he saw Ruki.
This had to show his lover just how much he cared, throwing away his masculinity to please his other. But then again, what wouldn’t he do for Reita?
Nothing.
Ruki would probably jump off a building if Reita asked him to and meant it. He certainly had that deep connection of love with that man. That connection of being willful to die if it meant saving Reita. And there was something comforting in that.
Ruki started to remember vaguely how it all started. How that first kiss that happened reluctantly enough. And how from then on, Reita has been his drug. How if he couldn’t see Reita everyday his heart felt like breaking. Yes, love could truly be a wonderful thing at times. And Ruki would keep on loving Reita.
☆
Day had molded its way into dusk and the street lights were just starting to flicker on as lonely footsteps began sounding down the sidewalk. Jacket slung over his shoulder, posture slightly slipping to a ‘not good for your back’ angle, Reita’s eyelids seemed to weight heavily as he walked home. Time had run away from him faster than he had thought.
He was ready to go home and spend time with ‘his Valentine.’ Even if he felt like he was ready to pass out the second he hit the bed, Reita would gladly stay up if it meant time with Ruki.
The bassist had had to attend some work regarding the band, only Kai had been needed (seeing as the drummer was band leader and all) but he had asked Reita to tag along. Despite his wishes, Reita knew it would be better if he went and helped his band mate. And at the time, he hadn’t expected it to take this long. If people would just get where they needed to be on time he might not have had to walk home so late. It was almost like a snowball effect, the first person was late, which made them late to where they needed to go next, and so on so forth.
But what was done was done, there was no use trying to think about it anymore, Reita’s focus had shifted over to something much more pleasant. And what a joyous thought it was for him. Already he could picture the fantasy entrance in his mind, he walking in and then Ruki eagerly jumping into his arms with a smile sugary sweet. Just thinking about it brought a little smile to the bassist’s lips.
In his hand was something that he was hoping would bring Ruki a smile. Though it was just a tradition little box of chocolates, Reita had slipped a small letter to Ruki between the lid and the strip of paper to guard the letter from getting chocolate on it. The letter wasn’t a ‘masterpiece of literature’ or anything, but in it, Reita had made it a point to say that Ruki was someone very special to him and that he would do anything to make Ruki happy.
As he neared his apartment, Reita didn’t notice how he suddenly had a bounce to his steps and a smile growing larger and larger on his face.
In record time, he had made his ways up the stairs, down the hall and pulled out the keys to his apartment. With a quick ‘click’ and a quick turn, Reita floated through the door only to find a sleeping Ruki on the couch. A sleeping Ruki on the couch…in a little white shirt and skirt.
Reita’s eyes widened as he looked Ruki up in down, the short skirt, the shirt ridding up his chest, this was not what he was expecting to come home to. He felt his cheeks start to go hot as he noticed Ruki’s already short skirt was ridding up his thigh as well; Reita turned around and went out the door. But when he walked back in, Ruki was still there sleeping in the same out fit. This was not a dream. But he was damn glad it wasn’t.
Reita wasn’t quite sure what to do at this point. Stare. Laugh. Shake his head. They all seemed like logical things to do, but for some reason, Reita was impressed. The conversation that he had had with the vocalist only a few weeks back came back to him. He vaguely remembered telling Ruki it would be funny to see him in a skirt. But now, to come home and find Ruki actually wearing the thing…it was too much and too funny all at the same time.
It was odd what love could do to a person, as Reita saw it. How both of them were willing to share their secrets with each other, to trust the other, and even go off on a few words just to please the other.
’Amazing.’ Reita thought, inwardly smirking and laughing. He set his own gift down on the table next to the couch before deciding to take a seat next to Ruki. The vocalist was so beautiful in his sleep, the way his long, dark eyelashes contrasted his pale skin and the way his lips were ever so slightly. Not to mention the way that Ruki was curled up with his chin resting on his knees. Reita had to bite his tongue to keep an ‘aw’ escape from his lips.
A smile crept up onto Reita’s face for what felt like the hundredth time. Oh how he loved this man in front of him. Reita had never expected Ruki to take what he had said that night to heart, but coming home and finding Ruki doing something like this made him feel so loved. And it wasn’t just the fact that Ruki had gone out of his way to please and (or attempt to) arouse Reita; it was the fact that Ruki had it done for him. Only him.
A stray hair was going down and touching the tip of Ruki’s nose. Out of pure instinct Reita brushed it off, but apparently that was enough to make Ruki stir. With a grumble, the vocalist uncurled himself and mumbled a curse about not wanting to get up. Reita’s smile just grew and he could no longer resist the urge to lean over a kiss Ruki.
Though it was just a quick peck, Reita could feel a new smooth texture to Ruki’s lips, not to mention the taste of something sweet. It didn’t take Reita very long to figure out it was cherry lip gloss. Another little shiver of excitement ran through the bassist as he realized what care Ruki had placed into this whole thing.
The vocalist had obviously forgotten that he was in a skirt because as he sat up, he spread his legs in a typical guy like fashion giving Reita just enough opportunity to glance up the blue plaid skirt. And Reita was oh so glad he had.
“You’re…finally home.” Ruki mumbled, still in a post-sleep mode and also still not aware of his attire.
Reita’s eyes were fixated somewhere else than Ruki’s eyes. Underneath Ruki’s skimpy skirt was none other than some lacey red underwear. If they were decent enough to don the title of ‘underwear’ though Reita was classifying the item as a ‘thong.’
The bassist’s cheeks went hot as Ruki shifted just a little more, giving Reita a much better view. Already he felt a slight stir in his pants and both cursed and adored Ruki for this.
“What?” Ruki grumbled a little more aware of where he was now. He quickly followed Reita’s gaze and then instantly knew. The color of his cheeks put Reita’s to shame as Ruki closed the space between his legs in inhuman speed. “Ah…um…I…a-ah…” Ruki tripped miserably over his words though he wasn’t even sure what he wanted to say. He had been planning to greet Reita at the door in some overly cute manner, and yet he had fallen asleep. Nor had he planned on being embarrassed. “Um…”
At this point, all Reita could do was laugh uncontrollably. This was just to rich. To think that Ruki was getting embarrassed and stuttering like he was confessing he loved Reita, it just tied everything together. The bassist had to take a deep breath to try and regain composure after his laughing fit died down a few moments later.
“Wow…heh…I…” Reita started but had to stop again to keep from busting out laughing. With one more deep breath, he continued, “I…You…You are so cute.”
Ruki’s face went even redder, if possible, as he heard Reita say that. What could he say back to that? Words were leaving him now.
Reita seemed to understand Ruki’s dilemma and it just made the vocalist even cuter in his eyes. “I can’t believe you actually dressed up. You spoil me to much, you know that. But I will say…it’s nice to see you would do something like this for me. I don’t think I’ve said this today, and it’s Valentines Day, but, I love you.”
“I-I love you too,” was all Ruki could muster out for the moment. He wasn’t sure what he should say, if only he hadn’t fallen asleep. But then again, it didn’t seem that Reita was complaining, and it was Valentines Day. Why was he just sitting there? Regaining a little confidence, Ruki leaned forward to place a kiss on Reita’s lips.
Unlike Reita’s little peck Ruki made sure to put forth more effort. He kissed Reita softly, giving the bassist time to grasp what was going on. The vocalist didn’t want to rush; he was simply enjoying the feel of Reita’s soft lips caringly pressed against his. Ruki remembered not to press to hard until he took some of his lip gloss off.
As they both pulled back, Ruki could tell that his nerves were starting to settle a little, and he sprung himself off the couch to twirl around in front of the bassist.
“What do you think?” Ruki asked, trying to play up on his cute factor.
Reita bit his bottom lip to keep from laughing once more, “You are so cute…” he cooed out, admiring Ruki, “…and thoughtful, you know that? I was quite surprised to come home and find you sleeping on the couch with this on, but it defiantly makes for an interesting Valentines. Oh! And the cherry lip gloss is a nice touch.”
Ruki gave a warm smile and went to sit back down next to Reita, “Thank you. I’m glad you like my…’present.’”
“It makes mine look pitiful.” Reita chuckled and reached over to the arm of the couch to fetch his present. He blushed a little as he gave it to Ruki out of embarrassment; he knew he wouldn’t be able to top Ruki this time.
Ruki’s eyes sparkled as he held the little wrapped box in his hands. “Can I open it and eat one?”
The bassist nodded his head and was glad that Ruki was seeming to enjoy it, “Yes, I can tell by how you look like you’re going to drool that you want one. I’m glad that mine’s not a total loser gift.”
“You’re gift isn’t a ‘loser gift’ Rei. I love you, and just having your love in return is enough for me. It’s sweet of you to even spend your money on something for me. It could be a little twenty-five cent prize ball that you got at the store for all I care. As long as I’ve got you.” Ruki smiled such a genuine smile that Reita felt his lips going up into one as well. Ruki had a way with words that made him feel better no matter how small or large the problem was, or if he was just feeling a bit down, Ruki was there. Reita felt damn lucky to have someone as special as Ruki be by his side.
As the vocalist opened the box, he spotted a folded up letter, and his smile seemed to radiate even more, “Aw. Can I read it now?”
Cheeks red, Reita simply nodded.
Ruki’s fingers quickly worked to unfold the letter and his eyes began moving along the lines that were written. As he read the words though, Ruki’s happy smile seemed to slip down bit by bit as he actually started reading. Not that he wasn’t happy, just overly focused. The bassist watched Ruki’s facial expressions change and wanted desperately to know what the vocalist was thinking.
Ruki looked up at Reita when he was done with sad eyes, “That was…so sweet… T-Thank you.”
A turn of the lips left Reita smiling as well as a bit relieved that Ruki had enjoyed his letter. “You’re welcome…” Reita took the opportunity to lean over and place a wanting kiss onto Ruki’s lips. He didn’t bother himself with a slow start, letting his tongue slip out to touch base with Ruki’s lips, loving the sweet taste of cherry that greeted him.
Ruki quickly accepted Reita’s invitation to strengthen their kiss, and he found himself letting his own tongue dart out to greet Reita’s, completely forgetting about his wish to remove the lip gloss. Both men found the space between them closing as Ruki inch closer during their kiss. The bassist could feel a bit of lip gloss on his own lips now, but it only seemed to make the situation even better for him. Letting go of thought and the whole ‘go slow’ motto, Reita’s hand began to snake its way to the hem of Ruki’s skirt, tugging on it to give the vocalist warning.
Reita heard a quick ‘yes’ being whimpered against his lips from Ruki, both not wanting to break the kiss long enough to speak. That was all the okay that Reita needed before sliding his hand up Ruki’s skirt. It felt so sinfully good to be doing something that a ‘normal male’ might be doing with his girlfriend. Reita smirked at the thought, thinking how Ruki would be more a man than those who shunned homosexuality would ever be, and more of a woman (at the moment) than they’d ever get. A witty line that he was sure he had heard somewhere else*, but it was true.
A small whimper escaped Ruki’s lips as Reita lightly snapped the red side string of Ruki’s underwear. The bassist couldn’t help but smile and pull back, wanting to look at Ruki.
“Thank you for loving me.” He whispered and kissed Ruki’s forehead gently.
“No no, thank you for choosing to love me.” Ruki’s voice came even quieter than Reita’s. But as the two gazed at each other a warm smile painted its way on to both their lips. Love was an odd thing, how it could sneak up on them in such an odd place, and maybe even odder people. But whatever magic it was that brought them together, Reita wasn’t complaining.
“You know…” Reita started, smirking, “You really need to wear that cherry lipstick more before sex.”
“Ah!” Ruki gasped out in surprise and felt his cheeks go hot once more, “You dirty little…”
“Like you weren’t planning on it. Come now Ruki, could you honestly expect me not to have sex with you on Valentines Day and when you’re in that getup?”
Ruki made a fake huff but replied, “Oh fine…” and then in as cute and girly of a voice as he could muster, “Just…be gentle.”
“Of course princess” Reita tossed out sarcastically and loved how Ruki’s mouth dropped open.
“Oh shove it!”
“I plan to, into you that is.”
“You nasty thing you!” But by that time, Ruki’s insults were riddled with laughter and Reita couldn’t help but join in. They both found it amazing how they had grown so close and now such topics weren’t as awkward, not to mention how they felt so trusting and dedicated to each other. As their laughter subsided, Ruki pulled Reita in for another sweet kiss. Smiling against Ruki’s lips, Reita wound his hands around the vocalist glad that he was Ruki’s, and Ruki was his. No, neither Reita nor Ruki would be complaining at all.
Ru-chan,
I know that I’m not really good with words, unlike you who have such a way with them. I’m sure that writing a letter might even be cheesy, but I wanted to give you something more than just chocolate. I promise that I’ll always be there to give you my love. You’re someone special, Ruki. You’ve never once turned me away for what I was feeling and didn’t turn the other cheek on friendship when I admitted that I loved you that bitterly cold day. You just stood there and opened your arms and replied, ‘Akira…I love you too.’ I swear, I replay that scene in my mind whenever I feel upset or mad. I should be thanking you for accepting me and choosing to be with me. Do you remember how we started off so slow, and how we both blushed when we said, ‘I love you.’? I know that we sometimes didn’t know what to do, or perhaps even consider why we were trying, but we stuck through it all and wound up here. I can remember how you asked, ‘Was that kiss good enough?’ ‘Can I…hold you?’ with red coloring you cheeks and hands shaking slightly. You’re so cute when you do that, and it just makes you even more precious to me. I have a feeling I’m rambling on, I’m sorry about that, so let me just say this: Thank you for loving me.
- Akira

- RENT fans probably got this XD. I’ll admit it, I’m a RENT nerd, my ipod Nano is from (Project) RED where profits support the origination fighting AIDS in Africa and I just had to have Angel - Today 4 U engraved on the back. (I know, I know! I’m weird XD) But yes, that line (well, ‘…more of a man than they’ll ever be, and more of a woman then they’ll ever get) was spoken by Angel. Go watch that movie now if you haven’t! It’s amazing! (Says the girl that has all the song lines memorized XD)
Author’s Note
Did anyone enjoy it? XD Okay, so I know that I made this kind of seems like a ‘This is humor, Ruki cross dresses’ story, but really, I just wanted this to be a fluffy story that focuses on the love between these two. Oh! And I’ve written both Chapter two and three to Hesitant Heart Beats, so I hope to get those up soon X3. I’ve wanted to write some alice nine. one shots as well. Thank you for reading! And Happy Valentines Day.
Thank you all for such nice comments ♥

He scooted closer, if possible, to the vocalist on the couch, settling into the warm surroundings of the material and Ruki himself.

Ruki smirked fondly at the memory as he opened the drawer of the wooden nightstand next to the perfectly made bed. The vocalist took note at how Reita had changed to sheets from their normal plain tanned color to a silky red. That alone only added to Ruki’s anticipation.
Despite the oddity of it, Ruki was kind of glad that Reita would have to take a leave of absence for a few hours.

All for Reita was what he kept telling himself.
Clutching the outfit tightly, Ruki scampered off to the bathroom to ‘prep himself up.’
+★+
“A skirt?” Ruki quickly replied, surprised by the answer.
“Yes.” The bassist responded casually as if being asked ‘Is it Tuesday?’ His eyes wandered over to meet Ruki’s. And the vocalist could see that he probably wasn’t kidding, a small smirk was etched onto Reita’s face.
“Why a skirt?” now Ruki was intrigued. Was this some sort of fetish? A new fling? Simply curiosity? Ruki wanted to know. So as if to egg him on further, Ruki quickly scooted into the bassist lap. “Tell me…”
“Well…” Reita started, dragging out the end of the word. “I really don’t know. It’s just that since we see other bands with cross dressers I’ve always thought it would be funny to have one of us do it as a joke. The obvious would be Uruha, but you…” Reita paused for a second to place a quick kiss on Ruki’s lips, “I’d just want to see for the fun of it. C’mon…I could lift up your skirt and…”
Ruki blushed as red as a cherry and instinctively put a hand over the bassist mouth, “I get it, I get it.”
Reita couldn’t help but let a deep chuckle escape his lips at his lover’s embarrassment. “Okay, I won’t say it...” As he said that though, his hands started to wander to the waistline of Ruki’s pants. “I’ll just use what I have now.” And as the sound of a zipper unzipping was heard, Ruki still pondered the thought.
+★+
Staring at his reflection in the mirror, Ruki found that it wasn’t as easy as he had planned. Being a rock star he had gotten accustomed to putting on makeup by himself, but something about the lip-gloss and fiddling with hair ties had not been as easy as thought to be. One pigtail hung down was leveled just a little lower than the other, and his lip-gloss was smudged ever so slightly in the corner. The eyeliner had been no problem, but for some reason it had been a little overbearing against the lighter colors picked. After trying to take some of it off, he’d come out of it with the black smeared around his eyes looking like he had been crying.
Eventually he’d fixed it, but he still had the aura of ‘cross dresser on a bad day’ thing going on. The outfit hadn’t proved very difficult to put on at least. And he had luckily remembered that he had brought some black stockings with him to add to the outfit.
Ruki certainly looked like a flat chested school girl from the neck down, and the shirt cut off at his belly button as if to add sex appeal. (But then again, he did buy it at a sex shop, so one might have to assume it was made to be sexy.) The skirt was shorter than a normal skirt, that was for sure, only coming down to Ruki’s thighs. The vocalist almost wished that he could unbutton one of the buttons to add a sense of cleavage, but then again, he was just a guy in girls clothing.
A quick glance at the clock told him that he probably had around an hour and a half before Reita returned home. So with an anxious sigh, Ruki decided to head back out to the living room and watch some television, in hope that the time would pass quickly. Ruki could already image the look on Reita’s face when he saw Ruki.
This had to show his lover just how much he cared, throwing away his masculinity to please his other. But then again, what wouldn’t he do for Reita?
Nothing.
Ruki would probably jump off a building if Reita asked him to and meant it. He certainly had that deep connection of love with that man. That connection of being willful to die if it meant saving Reita. And there was something comforting in that.
Ruki started to remember vaguely how it all started. How that first kiss that happened reluctantly enough. And how from then on, Reita has been his drug. How if he couldn’t see Reita everyday his heart felt like breaking. Yes, love could truly be a wonderful thing at times. And Ruki would keep on loving Reita.

Day had molded its way into dusk and the street lights were just starting to flicker on as lonely footsteps began sounding down the sidewalk. Jacket slung over his shoulder, posture slightly slipping to a ‘not good for your back’ angle, Reita’s eyelids seemed to weight heavily as he walked home. Time had run away from him faster than he had thought.
He was ready to go home and spend time with ‘his Valentine.’ Even if he felt like he was ready to pass out the second he hit the bed, Reita would gladly stay up if it meant time with Ruki.
The bassist had had to attend some work regarding the band, only Kai had been needed (seeing as the drummer was band leader and all) but he had asked Reita to tag along. Despite his wishes, Reita knew it would be better if he went and helped his band mate. And at the time, he hadn’t expected it to take this long. If people would just get where they needed to be on time he might not have had to walk home so late. It was almost like a snowball effect, the first person was late, which made them late to where they needed to go next, and so on so forth.
But what was done was done, there was no use trying to think about it anymore, Reita’s focus had shifted over to something much more pleasant. And what a joyous thought it was for him. Already he could picture the fantasy entrance in his mind, he walking in and then Ruki eagerly jumping into his arms with a smile sugary sweet. Just thinking about it brought a little smile to the bassist’s lips.
In his hand was something that he was hoping would bring Ruki a smile. Though it was just a tradition little box of chocolates, Reita had slipped a small letter to Ruki between the lid and the strip of paper to guard the letter from getting chocolate on it. The letter wasn’t a ‘masterpiece of literature’ or anything, but in it, Reita had made it a point to say that Ruki was someone very special to him and that he would do anything to make Ruki happy.
As he neared his apartment, Reita didn’t notice how he suddenly had a bounce to his steps and a smile growing larger and larger on his face.
In record time, he had made his ways up the stairs, down the hall and pulled out the keys to his apartment. With a quick ‘click’ and a quick turn, Reita floated through the door only to find a sleeping Ruki on the couch. A sleeping Ruki on the couch…in a little white shirt and skirt.
Reita’s eyes widened as he looked Ruki up in down, the short skirt, the shirt ridding up his chest, this was not what he was expecting to come home to. He felt his cheeks start to go hot as he noticed Ruki’s already short skirt was ridding up his thigh as well; Reita turned around and went out the door. But when he walked back in, Ruki was still there sleeping in the same out fit. This was not a dream. But he was damn glad it wasn’t.
Reita wasn’t quite sure what to do at this point. Stare. Laugh. Shake his head. They all seemed like logical things to do, but for some reason, Reita was impressed. The conversation that he had had with the vocalist only a few weeks back came back to him. He vaguely remembered telling Ruki it would be funny to see him in a skirt. But now, to come home and find Ruki actually wearing the thing…it was too much and too funny all at the same time.
It was odd what love could do to a person, as Reita saw it. How both of them were willing to share their secrets with each other, to trust the other, and even go off on a few words just to please the other.
’Amazing.’ Reita thought, inwardly smirking and laughing. He set his own gift down on the table next to the couch before deciding to take a seat next to Ruki. The vocalist was so beautiful in his sleep, the way his long, dark eyelashes contrasted his pale skin and the way his lips were ever so slightly. Not to mention the way that Ruki was curled up with his chin resting on his knees. Reita had to bite his tongue to keep an ‘aw’ escape from his lips.
A smile crept up onto Reita’s face for what felt like the hundredth time. Oh how he loved this man in front of him. Reita had never expected Ruki to take what he had said that night to heart, but coming home and finding Ruki doing something like this made him feel so loved. And it wasn’t just the fact that Ruki had gone out of his way to please and (or attempt to) arouse Reita; it was the fact that Ruki had it done for him. Only him.
A stray hair was going down and touching the tip of Ruki’s nose. Out of pure instinct Reita brushed it off, but apparently that was enough to make Ruki stir. With a grumble, the vocalist uncurled himself and mumbled a curse about not wanting to get up. Reita’s smile just grew and he could no longer resist the urge to lean over a kiss Ruki.
Though it was just a quick peck, Reita could feel a new smooth texture to Ruki’s lips, not to mention the taste of something sweet. It didn’t take Reita very long to figure out it was cherry lip gloss. Another little shiver of excitement ran through the bassist as he realized what care Ruki had placed into this whole thing.
The vocalist had obviously forgotten that he was in a skirt because as he sat up, he spread his legs in a typical guy like fashion giving Reita just enough opportunity to glance up the blue plaid skirt. And Reita was oh so glad he had.
“You’re…finally home.” Ruki mumbled, still in a post-sleep mode and also still not aware of his attire.
Reita’s eyes were fixated somewhere else than Ruki’s eyes. Underneath Ruki’s skimpy skirt was none other than some lacey red underwear. If they were decent enough to don the title of ‘underwear’ though Reita was classifying the item as a ‘thong.’
The bassist’s cheeks went hot as Ruki shifted just a little more, giving Reita a much better view. Already he felt a slight stir in his pants and both cursed and adored Ruki for this.
“What?” Ruki grumbled a little more aware of where he was now. He quickly followed Reita’s gaze and then instantly knew. The color of his cheeks put Reita’s to shame as Ruki closed the space between his legs in inhuman speed. “Ah…um…I…a-ah…” Ruki tripped miserably over his words though he wasn’t even sure what he wanted to say. He had been planning to greet Reita at the door in some overly cute manner, and yet he had fallen asleep. Nor had he planned on being embarrassed. “Um…”
At this point, all Reita could do was laugh uncontrollably. This was just to rich. To think that Ruki was getting embarrassed and stuttering like he was confessing he loved Reita, it just tied everything together. The bassist had to take a deep breath to try and regain composure after his laughing fit died down a few moments later.
“Wow…heh…I…” Reita started but had to stop again to keep from busting out laughing. With one more deep breath, he continued, “I…You…You are so cute.”
Ruki’s face went even redder, if possible, as he heard Reita say that. What could he say back to that? Words were leaving him now.
Reita seemed to understand Ruki’s dilemma and it just made the vocalist even cuter in his eyes. “I can’t believe you actually dressed up. You spoil me to much, you know that. But I will say…it’s nice to see you would do something like this for me. I don’t think I’ve said this today, and it’s Valentines Day, but, I love you.”
“I-I love you too,” was all Ruki could muster out for the moment. He wasn’t sure what he should say, if only he hadn’t fallen asleep. But then again, it didn’t seem that Reita was complaining, and it was Valentines Day. Why was he just sitting there? Regaining a little confidence, Ruki leaned forward to place a kiss on Reita’s lips.
Unlike Reita’s little peck Ruki made sure to put forth more effort. He kissed Reita softly, giving the bassist time to grasp what was going on. The vocalist didn’t want to rush; he was simply enjoying the feel of Reita’s soft lips caringly pressed against his. Ruki remembered not to press to hard until he took some of his lip gloss off.
As they both pulled back, Ruki could tell that his nerves were starting to settle a little, and he sprung himself off the couch to twirl around in front of the bassist.
“What do you think?” Ruki asked, trying to play up on his cute factor.
Reita bit his bottom lip to keep from laughing once more, “You are so cute…” he cooed out, admiring Ruki, “…and thoughtful, you know that? I was quite surprised to come home and find you sleeping on the couch with this on, but it defiantly makes for an interesting Valentines. Oh! And the cherry lip gloss is a nice touch.”
Ruki gave a warm smile and went to sit back down next to Reita, “Thank you. I’m glad you like my…’present.’”
“It makes mine look pitiful.” Reita chuckled and reached over to the arm of the couch to fetch his present. He blushed a little as he gave it to Ruki out of embarrassment; he knew he wouldn’t be able to top Ruki this time.
Ruki’s eyes sparkled as he held the little wrapped box in his hands. “Can I open it and eat one?”
The bassist nodded his head and was glad that Ruki was seeming to enjoy it, “Yes, I can tell by how you look like you’re going to drool that you want one. I’m glad that mine’s not a total loser gift.”
“You’re gift isn’t a ‘loser gift’ Rei. I love you, and just having your love in return is enough for me. It’s sweet of you to even spend your money on something for me. It could be a little twenty-five cent prize ball that you got at the store for all I care. As long as I’ve got you.” Ruki smiled such a genuine smile that Reita felt his lips going up into one as well. Ruki had a way with words that made him feel better no matter how small or large the problem was, or if he was just feeling a bit down, Ruki was there. Reita felt damn lucky to have someone as special as Ruki be by his side.
As the vocalist opened the box, he spotted a folded up letter, and his smile seemed to radiate even more, “Aw. Can I read it now?”
Cheeks red, Reita simply nodded.
Ruki’s fingers quickly worked to unfold the letter and his eyes began moving along the lines that were written. As he read the words though, Ruki’s happy smile seemed to slip down bit by bit as he actually started reading. Not that he wasn’t happy, just overly focused. The bassist watched Ruki’s facial expressions change and wanted desperately to know what the vocalist was thinking.
Ruki looked up at Reita when he was done with sad eyes, “That was…so sweet… T-Thank you.”
A turn of the lips left Reita smiling as well as a bit relieved that Ruki had enjoyed his letter. “You’re welcome…” Reita took the opportunity to lean over and place a wanting kiss onto Ruki’s lips. He didn’t bother himself with a slow start, letting his tongue slip out to touch base with Ruki’s lips, loving the sweet taste of cherry that greeted him.
Ruki quickly accepted Reita’s invitation to strengthen their kiss, and he found himself letting his own tongue dart out to greet Reita’s, completely forgetting about his wish to remove the lip gloss. Both men found the space between them closing as Ruki inch closer during their kiss. The bassist could feel a bit of lip gloss on his own lips now, but it only seemed to make the situation even better for him. Letting go of thought and the whole ‘go slow’ motto, Reita’s hand began to snake its way to the hem of Ruki’s skirt, tugging on it to give the vocalist warning.
Reita heard a quick ‘yes’ being whimpered against his lips from Ruki, both not wanting to break the kiss long enough to speak. That was all the okay that Reita needed before sliding his hand up Ruki’s skirt. It felt so sinfully good to be doing something that a ‘normal male’ might be doing with his girlfriend. Reita smirked at the thought, thinking how Ruki would be more a man than those who shunned homosexuality would ever be, and more of a woman (at the moment) than they’d ever get. A witty line that he was sure he had heard somewhere else*, but it was true.
A small whimper escaped Ruki’s lips as Reita lightly snapped the red side string of Ruki’s underwear. The bassist couldn’t help but smile and pull back, wanting to look at Ruki.
“Thank you for loving me.” He whispered and kissed Ruki’s forehead gently.
“No no, thank you for choosing to love me.” Ruki’s voice came even quieter than Reita’s. But as the two gazed at each other a warm smile painted its way on to both their lips. Love was an odd thing, how it could sneak up on them in such an odd place, and maybe even odder people. But whatever magic it was that brought them together, Reita wasn’t complaining.
“You know…” Reita started, smirking, “You really need to wear that cherry lipstick more before sex.”
“Ah!” Ruki gasped out in surprise and felt his cheeks go hot once more, “You dirty little…”
“Like you weren’t planning on it. Come now Ruki, could you honestly expect me not to have sex with you on Valentines Day and when you’re in that getup?”
Ruki made a fake huff but replied, “Oh fine…” and then in as cute and girly of a voice as he could muster, “Just…be gentle.”
“Of course princess” Reita tossed out sarcastically and loved how Ruki’s mouth dropped open.
“Oh shove it!”
“I plan to, into you that is.”
“You nasty thing you!” But by that time, Ruki’s insults were riddled with laughter and Reita couldn’t help but join in. They both found it amazing how they had grown so close and now such topics weren’t as awkward, not to mention how they felt so trusting and dedicated to each other. As their laughter subsided, Ruki pulled Reita in for another sweet kiss. Smiling against Ruki’s lips, Reita wound his hands around the vocalist glad that he was Ruki’s, and Ruki was his. No, neither Reita nor Ruki would be complaining at all.
Ru-chan,
I know that I’m not really good with words, unlike you who have such a way with them. I’m sure that writing a letter might even be cheesy, but I wanted to give you something more than just chocolate. I promise that I’ll always be there to give you my love. You’re someone special, Ruki. You’ve never once turned me away for what I was feeling and didn’t turn the other cheek on friendship when I admitted that I loved you that bitterly cold day. You just stood there and opened your arms and replied, ‘Akira…I love you too.’ I swear, I replay that scene in my mind whenever I feel upset or mad. I should be thanking you for accepting me and choosing to be with me. Do you remember how we started off so slow, and how we both blushed when we said, ‘I love you.’? I know that we sometimes didn’t know what to do, or perhaps even consider why we were trying, but we stuck through it all and wound up here. I can remember how you asked, ‘Was that kiss good enough?’ ‘Can I…hold you?’ with red coloring you cheeks and hands shaking slightly. You’re so cute when you do that, and it just makes you even more precious to me. I have a feeling I’m rambling on, I’m sorry about that, so let me just say this: Thank you for loving me.
- Akira

- RENT fans probably got this XD. I’ll admit it, I’m a RENT nerd, my ipod Nano is from (Project) RED where profits support the origination fighting AIDS in Africa and I just had to have Angel - Today 4 U engraved on the back. (I know, I know! I’m weird XD) But yes, that line (well, ‘…more of a man than they’ll ever be, and more of a woman then they’ll ever get) was spoken by Angel. Go watch that movie now if you haven’t! It’s amazing! (Says the girl that has all the song lines memorized XD)
Author’s Note
Did anyone enjoy it? XD Okay, so I know that I made this kind of seems like a ‘This is humor, Ruki cross dresses’ story, but really, I just wanted this to be a fluffy story that focuses on the love between these two. Oh! And I’ve written both Chapter two and three to Hesitant Heart Beats, so I hope to get those up soon X3. I’ve wanted to write some alice nine. one shots as well. Thank you for reading! And Happy Valentines Day.
Thank you all for such nice comments ♥
