Chapter 7 part 2
Ruki was now certain; he was being paranoid, and he couldn't help feeling so. Two days had passed since the infelicitous club commotion, and it felt like the event had been completely removed from everybody's memory, in fact, it almost seemed as if it might have not even happened in the first place. Everything was proceeding just as normal, and everyone had been their jolly old self, so wasn't he supposed to be content? Club discussions, or fights, happen all the time, and that night nobody had been hurt, well maybe Miyavi, just a little, but he had dismissed the accident as a deserved legitimate action.
The vocalist had tried times and again to convince himself that he should have just been grateful for such outcome, but his instincts told him better, something was wrong. He had carefully observed Gackt and Shou that night, and had sensed that what had been going on between the two, wasn't a simple infatuation game, reason why he had rushed in, to prevent whatever was happening to quickly escalate to a point of no return. Had he been too late? However, if that were to be the case, he had been expecting to see Gackt rushing in the PS studios the day after, or Shou being moody and detached, but none of his predictions came true. Nevertheless he knew that something had gone wrong somewhere, he had missed or overlooked a crucial point, but what?
-Yeah, it has definitely been a while since we've done something, just the five of us! We should go out or something, ne Ruki? - proposed Aoi, while awaiting for a response from the blonde in front of him, who nonchalantly exhaled smoke from his slightly parted lips, as he absently stared at Aoi
-Oi chibi! - exclaimed Aoi, snapping is fingers in front of the vocalist, who blinked a few times, as he gave the guitarist a questioning look
-What are you spacing out about? - curiously asked Reita, who was sitting next to Aoi, as they took their first practice break, at a table in the company's cafe.
-Go out me Aoi- plainly stated Ruki, still deep in thought while staring at nowhere
-What? - confusedly asked the brunette - and look at me when you are talking to me! - he then reprimanded, this time waving his hands right in the vocalist face, who swiftly shoved them away with a grunt.
-On a date, actually a triple date. I need a date - simply explained Ruki, who watched the dazed expression on the guitarist's face in amusement.
-This is quite random Ruki … - said the bassist, as he lit himself a cigarette - who are the other couples anyway? - he then questioned as he exhaled the familiar white smoke.
-You and Hiroto, Shou and Yasuno - replied Ruki in a natural tone, as if he were stating the obvious.
-Excuse me? - quickly replied Reita in bewilderment
-We are going to have dinner at my house, and then we are going clubbing - calmly replied the vocalist
-I still don't hear the whole “Would you and Hiroto like to come on a triple date?” part here … and when and where did Yasuno and Shou meet - swiftly uttered the bassist, firmly staring at Ruki
-Didn't you guys want to do something together? And plus I think Shou needs some distractions, you know an innocent night out with friends … - trailed the vocalist
-Date - corrected the guitarist skeptically observing the vocalist
-... so Shou doesn't know uh … - added the bassist sighing
-I don't see the problem here … You did just say that you wanted-
-What about Kai and Uru? - interrupted the taller blonde?
-I was about to go ask Kai, since he has Ruka, which would make it a quadruple date, but oh well … and Uruha … - suddenly stopped Ruki, who hadn't thought about how to place their lead guitarist in his plot
-Oh, he can be your date … I have other stuff to do … - quickly replied the brunette, snootily looking away, leaving the vocalist with his mouth wide open in pretend offense.
-Fine with me bitch, I don't need you … - replied Ruki glaring at the brunette, who chuckled as he glanced at the blonde's pout.
-I really don't think it is a good idea Ruki … - suddenly confessed Reita - semi blind dates, or whatever this is … it doesn't sound good … -
-Would you please trust me on this! - exclaimed the vocalist - This will cause no harm, and we'll all have a good night, okay? Do you have anything else to do as well? - he then asked looking at the bassist
-No … - resignedly admitted the taller blonde in a whisper
-Good, so it's decided - concluded Ruki getting up - I'll go tell Kai and Uru- he then explained with a wide smile, as he left the two at the table
-You are going to ask Kai, and ask Uru, while I ask Hiroto, Ruki … - loudly corrected the bassist, as he brought out his cell phone, helplessly staring at the already departed figure of their vocalist.
The elevator had finally escorted the plotting blonde, down to the floor where their practice room was, and where he was sure he would have found Kai and Uruha, who had explained that they would have joined the rest later, after finishing a part on their new song. He walked down the windowed hallway, and as he turned the right corner to the room, he was greeted with the image of their drummer leaning on the wall next to their practice room door, with Ruka hovering over the shorter brunette, his right arm over Kai's head placed on the wall, and his left hand on the younger brunette's waist. The vocalist froze.
It wasn't the first time he'd seen them together, but in that moment, he felt like an intruder, as if he weren't supposed to be there, even though he had every right to enter his practice room. What made the unusually uncomfortable moment worst, was the fact that he somehow didn't seem to be able to tear his gaze off the couple, as he imagined how good it must have felt to be held in such way, to be openly loved in such way. The taller man then leaned closer to their drummer, and whispered in his ear, and whatever was shared was apparently funny, given that Kai laughed turning his head right in Ruki's direction.
-Ruki? - exclaimed the shorter brunette in slight disarray, as the taller looked in the same direction, almost with a spiteful look, while slowly getting off his lover.
The vocalist just smiled trying to hide the embarrassment he felt in having been caught involuntarily staring. He then quickly walked passed them reaching for the door to their practice door.
-sorry - he then quickly uttered closing the door behind him, wondering exactly what he had been sorry about, whether his walking on them, or the jealousy he had felt regarding their happiness.
-Ruki, what are you doing here? I was just about to come up to you guys - perplexedly asked the lead guitarist, as he placed his guitar in its case
-I had something to ask you and I couldn't wait - smiled the vocalist, as he got closer to the now worried looking dark blonde
-I need a pretend date, and I have nobody I can turned to. Please help me! - he swiftly explained, as he tightly closed his eyes, pulling his hand joint in prayer in front of his forehead - plea~se - he then begged.
-Hmmm … - replied the guitarist looking at the guitarist skeptically
-Please, please, please! - begged the shorter once more - just for tonight -
-Ok … must be urgent, if you are begging me like that! - chuckled the older, as he walked towards the exit - what are we doing? - he then asked as he grabbed the door-handle
-Dinner at my house and then clubbing - readily replied the vocalist with a wide smile
-Sounds like fun - replied the guitarist - aren't you coming up? - he then asked the shorter as he got ready to exit
-I'll ask Kai too … - replied the Ruki
-Can't you tell him on our way up? - confusedly asked the guitarist
-I'll wait - calmly replied the vocalist, who had remembered an urgent matter, which had been bothering him concerning their drummer.
-Okay ... I'll see you up - replied Uruha, as he opened the door to exit, and almost walked over Kai, who was entering at the same time. They both laughed, as Uruha let the younger in, and left closing the door behind him.
-Ruki what are you doing here? Aren't we all supposed to meet at the cafe on the roof? - calmly asked the drummer, with one of his usual smiles.
-Yeah … - casually replied Ruki, as he got closer to the brunette, who was busying himself tiding up musical scores -but I was wondering something ... - he paused, and carefully studying the brunette he resumed - what are you doing tonight? … -
-Hm? - distractedly mumbled the drummer, as he placed the scores in a folder
-I am having a triple date tonight, would you and Ruka like to come? - asked the vocalist, at which the brunette stopped in his actions, and slowly faced the vocalist with an unsure expression
-I don't think … - hesitantly said the brunette, now staring at the closed folder
-Why? - quietly asked the vocalist, who had already foreseen the reply
-We were planning to have dinner together … - swiftly explained the brunette, whom in Ruki's eyes looked unnecessarily nervous.
-Well then … join us clubbing later - proposed the vocalist, wondering the reason why the brunette was avoiding eye contact, and as he sensed the drummer attempting to refuse his offer again, he suddenly spoke
-Ne Kai … I know you have a boyfriend and all, but … you kind of don't do things with us anymore - suddenly stated the vocalist, as he got closer to the drummer, lightly startling the brunette, who took a step backwards as he quickly glanced at the room's entrance, which Ruki swiftly turned around to watch as well, finding nothing. He then returned his gaze on the drummer, who was thoughtfully facing downwards, with an expression that looked as if he were in search of any excuse, as he harshly bit his lower lip.
-Well … Ruka has just come back from his tour, so we are kinda catching up with time - nervously replied the drummer, as he moved away from the vocalist, directing himself to the bag on the couch opposite them.
-It is not only now, Kai - precised the vocalist - Even before … you are always … finding excuses, not to come out with us … without Ruka … - clarified the vocalist, following the drummer, still wondering what had caused the previous reaction in the brunette.
-It's … everything okay? … - attempted to ask Ruki, as he finally let out the question he had wanted to ask from the beginning of their insanely tensed conversation.
-Of course it is silly - calmly replied Kai, as he dug in his bag, seemingly looking for something.
-You are an awful liar, you know that Kai? - uttered the vocalist with a little smirk
-I am not lying - firmly replied the drummer, as he zipped his bag - Everything is fine, in fact, I think you are going to see us at the club tonight! - he then exclaimed looking at the vocalist with a smile, which the blonde was quite skeptical about its authenticity.
-Let's go join the others, come on - swiftly replied the brunette, as he reached the door waiting for the other. Ruki dubiously looked at the drummer once more from his standing position, and as he walked over to join his band mate, he resignedly sighed as he knew he had another problem to add at his list of paranoia.

-The fuck … - exclaimed Tora in overt stupor as he observed Hiroto quickly silencing his cell phone, and rushing out of the Starbucks, where he and his band mates were spending their break.
-Moshi moshi Rei-kun?- sweetly asked the short guitarist, as he reached the uncommon safety of the outdoors surrounding.
-Hey Hiro … am I disturbing? - kindly replied the bassist
-No, not at all, we are on break right now - explained the guitarist, as he leaned on the wall of the coffee store
-That's good then. - comfortingly professed the bassist - I wanted to ask you something. Ruki organized a triple date tonight, and I was wondering whether you wanted to go … - hesitantly proposed the bassist
-That is kind of … out of the blue - replied the guitarist, who didn't mind the idea of a date, but found the fact that Ruki was the organizer rather peculiar -who is the third couple anyway? - he then asked out of curiosity
-Well, that's the thing ... I know it will sound like a terrible thing to do but, he is trying to set up Shou on a blind date with Kra's Yasuno … and I thi-
-That's great! - suddenly exclaimed the guitarist interrupting a now extremely bewildered bassist
-I-it is? … -
-Yeah, in fact, I'll put myself in charge to make sure that he'll be there tonight - readily replied the younger, thinking that for once, gazette's vocalist had in fact had a brilliant idea. He knew his best friend, and if he was correct, Gackt was still freely roaming in the head of their hopelessly romantic vocalist. Thus, the guitarist thought that a new romance was the best way to make Shou forget about his ill-doomed encounter.
-All right … you know Shou better than I do for sure, so you must be right - finally surrendered the bassist - so I'll wait for you after practice then? - he then asked
-No, don't worry ... I'll come to the end of your practice - uncertainly replied the guitarist, but feeling that it was the right thing to say - and Rei? … - swiftly added the guitarist, mentally cursing himself as he wondered what he even wanted to say in the first place
-Yes? -
-Mhmm, nothing, sorry - quickly laughed away the guitarist - just… thank you for, you know … the house and everything- lied the younger, knowing that the elder wouldn't have been satisfied with a simple Mhmm, and received a light laughter in response
-It's ok babe, well I have to go now, so I see later ok? -
-ok … - slowly replied guitarist - I love you - he then quickly added
-I love you too Hiro. Bye - replied the bassist severing the connection
The short guitarist closed his cell phone as well, and remained rested on the wall a little longer, staring at the sky with pleading eyes, wishing that his relationship with Reita could really last forever. He then got off, and entered the cafe, back to his band mates. As he calmly sat back, Tora interrupted whatever conversation he was having with Nao, and quickly addressed the youngest.
-I hope you don't you are going to get away without explaining the whole Koda Kumi ring tone, right? -
-What? - replied the short man with an offended expression - Why not? It' kinda catchy … - he then defended himself, as he nonchalantly drank his caramel frappuccino, looking away from the still disbelieving guitarist, who had resumed his conversation with Nao.
The youngest of the group directed his gaze to their vocalist, still slowly working on his frappuccino, trying to figure out the right way to address the blonde, who was helping their bassist making a decision on whether or not proceed with the new hairstyle he had in mind. The guitarist then found his opportunity, when the bassist excused himself to go the restroom.
-Shou - finally called the guitarist, as the vocalist turned in his direction while drinking his coffee
-Yes Pon? -
-Ruki is doing something tonight right … - mysteriously stated the younger as if talking about some kind of secret.
-Yes, he did say something about it last night, but I really don't feel like it - quickly replied the vocalist starring at his plastic cup -I mean nothing against my cousin, but we spent an entire night together, and I kinda wanted to do something else, maybe with somebody else … - vaguely explained the vocalist
-Really … - calmly replied Hiroto, as he tried to make his brain think of something
-Yeah … but how do you know anyway? - asked the vocalist curiously looking a their guitarist, who mischievously grinned in his mind.
-Well, I wasn't really supposed to tell you but … - he ten lowered his voice, as he got closer to the vocalist - Ruki is going to have a surprise dinner with our close friends for you. He thinks you are still sad about the whole Gackt thing, so he though about that … -
-W-what - drily replied the vocalist
-Yeah I know, I told him it wasn't going to be necessary, but you know how he is … - replied Hiroto sighing in apprehension - but … since he went through the trouble I think you should at least show up … and don't worry, I have the perfect plan to let us out - replied the guitarist as he winked at the speechless expression on their vocalist, who slowly nodded in understanding.
-As long as you get me out … - finally agreed the vocalist, calmly sipping his coffee, as Hiroto flashed him a nervous smile.
Saga had then returned, and pressingly demanded the vocalist attention, in order to finally make his decision. Hiroto didn't mind, he was too busy trying not to feel worse than he already did. Everything that came out of is mouth since that day had been lie after lie and he detested that, for it wasn't the way it was supposed to be, not with his best friend. However he couldn't think of a different way, or maybe if had thought through in a better state of mind, maybe he would have found a better solution, because now it was too late. The guitarist was now left with the hope that tonight would finally end his streak of lies, the hope that whatever had happened with Gackt would have repeated itself with Yasuno, the hope that he could finally move away from that infelicitous club commotion.

-I hope you don't you are going to get away without explaining the whole Koda Kumi ring tone, right? -

-Ruki is doing something tonight right … - mysteriously stated the younger as if talking about some kind of secret.
-Yes, he did say something about it last night, but I really don't feel like it - quickly replied the vocalist starring at his plastic cup -I mean nothing against my cousin, but we spent an entire night together, and I kinda wanted to do something else, maybe with somebody else … - vaguely explained the vocalist
-Really … - calmly replied Hiroto, as he tried to make his brain think of something
-Yeah … but how do you know anyway? - asked the vocalist curiously looking a their guitarist, who mischievously grinned in his mind.
-Well, I wasn't really supposed to tell you but … - he ten lowered his voice, as he got closer to the vocalist - Ruki is going to have a surprise dinner with our close friends for you. He thinks you are still sad about the whole Gackt thing, so he though about that … -
-W-what - drily replied the vocalist
-Yeah I know, I told him it wasn't going to be necessary, but you know how he is … - replied Hiroto sighing in apprehension - but … since he went through the trouble I think you should at least show up … and don't worry, I have the perfect plan to let us out - replied the guitarist as he winked at the speechless expression on their vocalist, who slowly nodded in understanding.
-As long as you get me out … - finally agreed the vocalist, calmly sipping his coffee, as Hiroto flashed him a nervous smile.
Saga had then returned, and pressingly demanded the vocalist attention, in order to finally make his decision. Hiroto didn't mind, he was too busy trying not to feel worse than he already did. Everything that came out of is mouth since that day had been lie after lie and he detested that, for it wasn't the way it was supposed to be, not with his best friend. However he couldn't think of a different way, or maybe if had thought through in a better state of mind, maybe he would have found a better solution, because now it was too late. The guitarist was now left with the hope that tonight would finally end his streak of lies, the hope that whatever had happened with Gackt would have repeated itself with Yasuno, the hope that he could finally move away from that infelicitous club commotion.
