Sakano wandered into the bar, his hands ringing at each other as he hunched in, losing hope of finding his boss any time soon. He didn't know the area well enough to know exactly where to look for Seguchi, but he would not stop until he found him. It felt very strange to see his boss just disappear. He had done it before, but on most occasions it was easy (at least for Sakano) to find him.

He heard a glass being placed down at the bar and nearly jumped when he looked up. "Seguchi-san!" he gasped rushing over to stand at his side. A nervous look only slightly hidden by his large square rimmed glasses. "I found you, Seguchi-san..." he looked down and noticed the empty glass "you've been drinking..." he said mostly to himself.

[[ooc: no one came in to get drunk with Tohma? And here I thought I'd be having Sakano dragging a slightly drunk Tohma home. Not that Sakano actually has a home yet .-. ]]

"I...I..." Sakano sat lost for a moment in his own thoughts, his blush was a furious shade of red, and Seguchi was playing dirty.

"Sir...yes I do like you very much, I am terribly sorry if this is an inconvenience to you. Please forgive me." he said rushing out after him.

[[ooc: You're evil! Sakano is spazzing again...though he does that alot. >.> *pets* and is Sakano following? Spelling errors...]]

[perfect_genius]

"Not an inconvenience at all, Sakano. Nothing to forgive," Tohma answered absently, waving it off. it really wasn't an inconvenience. It was just good to know. Of the people here, Sakano had just put himself in the position of 'most useful.' This was probably not exactly a good thing, but Tohma didn't care overmuch.

"I was just so terribly curious~"

[[ooc: He probably should follow. >> And it's not me what's evil, it's Tohma. He's a very bad influence. ._.;;]]

[ng_buisnessman]

"Yes sir..I understand.." he followed, slightly slouching as he persued from a step behind the other. "Thank you for being so understanding sir."
"And if there's anything I can help you with sir please tell me." he added.
Sakano had no idea where Seguchi was heading, but he felt that it was probably best to keep an eye on him in case anything happened.

[[ooc: yea..you're right...*nod*]]

[perfect_genius]

Tohma paused in the middle of the road and thought about where he was going. Not Eiri's, yet. He still had time before he could consider going there. "No, nothing, Sakano. I'm quite alright at the moment," he answered absently, before meandering towards the park. It was quiet there, at least.

[ng_buisnessman]

Sakano nodded and stayed silent, realizing they were headed to the one place where he seemed to have spent most of his time in this city, the park.

In his mind it was a relief to know that Tohma hadn't gotten mad at him. At least that ment that even if his feelings were not returned, he could still stay near Seguchi if he needed anything.

[perfect_genius]

Tohma found a bench and flopped down on it, draping himself across the back rather artistically. "You didn't think I'd figure it out, Sakano? I could have said something long ago, but you're so easily embarrassed..."

[ng_buisnessman]

Sakano nodded. "I thought you might have..." he admited softly, waiting to be permited a seat as well. "But...I still didn't want to say anything...in case you decided to just ignore me on the matter..."

[perfect_genius]

"...hm. Sit down, Sakano." Maybe it was a bad thing, that toying with this person didn't affect him. Wasn't this exactly what Eiri had been doing to him? Playing with his emotions? Tohma sighed heavily. Damn lack of morals, that was what it was.

[ng_buisnessman]

"Thank you sir." he said and took a seat on the other side of the bench, he didn't want the blond man to feel he was intruding on him.

Sakano's eyes drifted upwards to look at the sky. It looked the same as back home somehow, and yet they were very far (it seemed) from home. This situation would not have happened at home... he thought.

[perfect_genius]

Tohma moved then, drawing his legs up under him to kneel on the bench facing Sakano, resting his head on his hands, balanced against the back of the bench. "Does it bother you terribly, when I touch you?"

[ng_buisnessman]

"It doesn't." Sakano said turning his gaze down to look at Seguchi. "I...I just don't know what to do...that's all" he said honestly.

"I'm not supposed to fall for anyone at work...especialy not my boss...and it's been a very long time since I've had someone I liked..." he laughed slightly at himself as he pulled off his glasses to rub at his tiered eyes. "I assume I'm out of practice at dealing with people..." he looked at Seguchi, glasses still in hand.

[perfect_genius]

"Mm~ but you know, it's really alright. I don't mind if you're in love with me. And it's not really a matter of dealing with people, is it?" Tohma reached over to stroke Sakano's cheek, smiling faintly. So gullible, this one was.

[ng_buisnessman]

"Thank you." he said enjoying the little contact it was correct to have with his boss. "I'm not used to reacting in front of people...especially those that I like." he said, eyes closed, his face a cross between hope and sadness.

[perfect_genius]

Tohma should have stopped there. This was cruel and unusual, and it wouldn't do to break his poor manager's heart. But the darker part of him wanted someone else to be suffering, now, too, not just him. Gloved fingers trailed down the other's throat as Tohma shifted closer. "Hn... 'reacting', Sakano~chan?"

[ng_buisnessman]

Sakano shivered slightly. He kept his eyes closed as he tried to steady his breath. The fact that it was Seguchi doing this was what made it worse.

His free hand balled itself into a fist as he tried to stay firm, but he was not being sucessful.
