Yukihiro stepped out of the shower but left the water running to cover up any small sounds he was about to make. This was a surveillance mission, pure and simple, and though it felt good to finally be clean he had others things on his mind. Going through his pockets he drew out four small cameras, not much bigger than a finger nail, and carefully hid one in the corner out of sight. The other three needed to go throughout the house so he left them to one side and got dressed in the clothes Tetsu had leant him. They fitted well and were comfortable enough and so placing the cameras in a pocket he turned off the water and waited just long enough to have given himself time to get dressed before heading out into the lounge. Tetsu was still in the kitchen and so he managed to slip a second camera on the bookcase between two dusty books before going to join him.
“You look so much better clean.” Tetsu complimented with a smile indicating that Yukihiro should sit down, the police man did and made small talk until he got chance to slide yet another camera into place. The final one was for the bedroom and he wondered how he could get it in there without causing suspicion.
Tetsu had been shocked to see Yukihiro washed and in decent clothes, he was stunning and he silently thanked Hyde for having such a good eye. Yukihiro would make him a lot of money if he could be talked around to the idea but first he needed to determine his sexuality. He supposed a straight man might actually benefit his business as Hyde disliked sleeping with women and Kaz was taking pills just to get it up when he had a female client. Sakura, his third employee, was often too high to be off any use at all and tended just to turn up and demand work when he needed drug money. Tetsu saw Sakura's addiction for what it was and knew when they had first met that they were no different. Heroine or gambling it was all the same, drawing away there money and destroying their life’s and it was probably this meeting that been the final push to get him to drop his addiction. Tetsu hadn't gambled on anything since shortly after meeting Sakura and he supposed he should be grateful to Sakura for that at least.
If Yukihiro was gay it would be easy too, carry on as normal searching for gay clients and accepting the women who came to him but either way Tetsu wanted to know and the easiest way would be to seduce the man. Get love and affection and then make his suggestion to hire him. Hyde loved him and remained loyal, Kaz loved Hyde and respected him and Sakura... well he was indebted to him for the time when they had first met.
Sakura had been a whore before Tetsu came along and worked the streets on his own earning money for drugs and basic living expenses. He'd been pretty good at it but men took advantage of his non sober state and had tried to rape him in an alley just as Tetsu had happened to be nearby about to pick up Hyde. He'd rushed to Sakura's rescue and the second it became clear they were pimp and prostitute it was obvious that they should work together. Sakura had just learnt the value of a pimp from his narrow escape.
Yukihiro had finished his meal without any chance or idea to get into Tetsu's bedroom when an idea struck him out of the blue. Off course, he was a homeless man and homeless men didn't just expect kindness for nothing.
“So, what do you want in repayment?” Yukihiro asked making sure to have that world weary tone in his voice.
“Repayment? Nothing.” Tetsu declared firmly before smiling over at Yukihiro. “Though, if you don't mind me saying, you are hot. A kiss would be nice. Not as repayment but because I want to kiss you.”
“Sure.” Yukihiro agreed as he gently kissed Tetsu letting his hand slide down over the others crotch. He was pushed away instantly and surprised Yukihiro realised Tetsu truly had done this out of the goodness of his heart. Unless, no he couldn't be! Was Tetsu trying to get him to be one of his whores? Now that made sense and if he was the evidence would be easy to obtain.
“Seriously, I don't want that.” Tetsu ordered pushing Yukihiro's hand away but the other accepted the rejection convinced he had it all figured out.
“Well if you want another kiss...” Yukihiro offered and again they locked lips until he was finally invited into the other man’s bedroom to make out in comfort. It went no further than kissing and in the end Yukihiro left with nothing more than memories of a pleasant few hours, every single camera now in place.
Hyde sat in the bar alone knowing the routine from before and sure that Tetsu wasn't needed. A major celebrity wouldn't risk their reputations by hurting the men they paid to share their bed. Many people noticed his presence but he ignored them all and when Gackt entered he merely nodded his head at Hyde and waited for him to join him.
“How are you?” Gackt asked and Hyde answered that he was alright before asking the same. “Oh I'm fine.” Gackt replied casually and then they were on the lift silently waiting to be alone, the vocalist unwilling to talk about anything in public.
The room they entered was different to the last one but just as luxurious and Gackt headed straight to the sofa where a bottle of wine was already waiting for them unopened with two glasses of wine.
“Now Hyde, we're not going to have a repeat of last time are we?” Gackt teased. “One glass, for me.”
“I'm not meant to drink anything at all.” Hyde pointed out.
“But you can trust me.” Gackt replied. “Look, unopened bottle, clean glass, no evil intentions I promise you.”
“One glass.” Hyde agreed realising that the incredible low risk this drink would bring were insignificant when compared to how much it meant to Gackt he drank it. Even with agreement he picked up the bottle and checked the seal and alcohol content before letting the vocalist open it and pour him a glass.
They sat drinking silently for awhile, Gackt content just to watch him, and Hyde began to wonder what was going to happen tonight. Gackt wanted this to be some kind of date, to get to know him, but what could he say? He didn't want Gackt to know who he was but he couldn't lie either. Not to him. Something about the vocalist demanded the truth and Hyde found he was actually willing to give it, at least in part.
“You look like a prince with that glass.” Gackt declared. “I knew wine would suit you.”
“I'm far from a prince.” Hyde laughed. “You seem to be forgetting what I am.”
“I want to forget, for the night.” Gackt replied. “Tonight you're my prince, my lover and tomorrow I will remember reality. That you're a whore who one day will fall in love with me.”
“Gackt...” Hyde began but the other smiled and it was clear he'd been joking about the last part.
“So, what were you before?” Gackt asked.
“A waiter.” Hyde replied. “Nothing special which is why when Tetsu fell in debt...”
“So he was your lover?” Gackt asked. “I thought as much.”
“We're...” Hyde began about to say they had split up only had they? “I suppose we're friends with benefits now.”
“It's OK.” Gackt replied. “Be as honest as you like with me. I won't judge or get offended. I know I'm not your first. That I'm not special to you in any way.”
“Except I'm a major fan of Cains:feel.” Hyde admitted. “I admit You is my favourite though. I always wanted to be a guitarist as a kid.”
“So why aren't you?” Gackt asked. “Not serious enough?”
“No. I practised for hours every day for years.” Hyde replied. “I'm actually good at it but, not everyone gets that lucky break.”
“Most people I know did.” Gackt replied though it was obvious to both of them exactly why that was. “Come on, let me hear you play.”
“You have a guitar?” Hyde asked watching as Gackt got up and returned with the instrument.
“Sometimes I play for pleasure, or if I'm composing something that just won't work on the piano.” Gackt explained handing the acoustic guitar to Hyde who put down his wine and began to play. It was a gentle melody he had composed himself and could play without thinking, drifting into the music and the world it created he barely noticed Gackt until he had finished and nervously he looked up to see the vocalist looking genuinely impressed.
“You should never have given up your dream.” Gackt commented.
“What is a dream when you need money?” Hyde demanded. “What is a dream worth over your lovers well being?”
“Why the hell stick with a man like that?” Gackt demanded. “Why didn't you just walk away?”
“Because I loved him!” Hyde declared. “This wasn't his idea you know, it was mine. I prostituted myself for money and then I took it too him to help pay his debts.”
“And he accepted it?” Gackt demanded and to his surprise Hyde found himself sharing his story.
“Here. I have half the money for you.” Hyde announced dropping the money on Tetsu's chest as he lay watching TV with a beer in hand.
“How?” Tetsu demanded. “You whored yourself didn't you!?”
“What choice did I have?” Hyde demanded.
“You're an idiot. For a start you're worth way more than this.” Tetsu replied hurt and betrayed but most of all angry that his lover had been used.
“He couldn't afford more.” Hyde replied.
“He just won big on a scratch card. Can't remember which prize but enough to pay you four times this without even noticing.” Tetsu remarked. “You got used and done over.”
“Well it's too late now.” Hyde replied but Tetsu wasn't hearing any of it and angrily he stormed out of the room returning later with a wad of cash.
“I got your full payment.” Tetsu informed Hyde. “Don't every do this again. I'm serious.”
“You've shown you can't pay your own bills.” Hyde replied. “So what else can we do?”
“If you're going to prostitute yourself get the hell out!” Tetsu screamed at Hyde. “I don't want a dirty whore for a lover!”
“I did this for you!” Hyde cried out angrily before storming off into the bedroom. Fuck Tetsu, this was his fault and he'd only sold his body to help him out. No that wasn't true, there was a second reason, he had wanted to make Tetsu suffer.
Hours later Tetsu entered the room and the two of them made up though it was clear that the dynamic of there relationship had changed. The next month, in the same situation as this one, Hyde found himself selling his body a second time but he wasn't going to be walked over any more. If he was going to be a whore he would be paid for his time. Tetsu could just take a cut as his protector and agent. No there was a word for what Tetsu was, a pimp.
