Chapter 2: Just Ignore it
Ryo arrived in his dark apartment not long after his meeting with Shige and dropped his things on the couch. He was exhausted and annoyed. Shige wasn't as "easy" as he had hoped.
The only thing visible in the darkness of the room was a red "15" flashing in the distance. He tripped over a few things as he dragged himself over to the answering machine.
First new message, recieved today at 1:42PM.
"Oh my God, Ryo-kins! I got this new pair of shoes, and a bag, and a matching belt..." Ryo sighed disgustedly and attempted to tune it out. Every night he would come home to at least 10 messages on his answering machine.
"Don't you get it?? I don't give a shit what you bought, who you saw, what you read about me....I. DONT. CARE!" Ryo yelled as the message continued. Manami was now talking about being worried about a tabloid she had read earlier that day.
"Why do they all have to bother me?" Ryo thought. "I do what they say, work until I have no energy left, until every bone in my body hurts, and I just want to come home and not have to deal with it!" Ryo grabbed the remote for the stereo and put on angry, screaming music, turning the volume higher and higher until every ounce of her voice was drowned out.
Even though it was seemingly loud in the apartment, to Ryo only now was it truly silent.
~~~
"HE SAID WHAT?" Koyama screamed.
"Shhh!!!!" Shige dragged Koyama to a quieter place, away from the people in the restaurant. He didn't want to draw attention to them."He told me to do whatever he said...something about wanting to play some game with me."
"And then you just left?"
"Yeah...I told him no and he let me go..."
"Something doesn't sound right...why would he just let you leave? Normally people would lock the doors and barracade them so the person would have no choice but to agree." Koyama said, confused.
"Yeah, that's what I thought...maybe he gave up?"
Koyama looked at him with an "obviously not" expression on his face. "Of course not. This is Nishikido Ryo we're talking about. My guess is that either way, no matter what you said, the result wouldn't change. He's made up his mind."
Shige sighed. "What am I supposed to do then?"
"My advice is to just ignore it. If he says anything to you just say no and walk away."
"I guess..."
~~~
The next day in work, Ryo came in slamming doors and snapping at innocent juniors walking by.
"Ryo-chan, stop yelling at the juniors, they're going to hate you." Pi said, trying to calm Ryo down and at the same time trying to save the juniors' pants.
"Good. Let them fucking hate me. See if I care." Ryo plopped down on the couch, throwing his bag across the room. Pi knew that nothing he would say would get through to him when he's like this, so he just shook his had and chose to ignore it.
Ryo glared at Shige, who turned away. Don't make eye contact. Just look away..Shige told himself.
Ryo grinned. "Aww, still scared from yesterday? That's adorable. By the way, you do still remember what we talked about yesterday, right?"
Shige looked up to Koyama, who shook his head, convincing Shige not to give in.
"Hmm? I'll take that as a yes then. In that case, you're coming with me tonight. Got it? Good."
"N-n-No. I'm not going anywhere with you."
The rest of the members sat off to the side like spectators, not getting involved in whatever was going on with the other two.
"What?" Ryo laughed. "Correction, you ARE coming with me tonight. You see, that's not how it works. You're not allowed to disagree with me."
"I said no. You can't force me."
"What, did your mommy tell you to say that when she handed you your bagged lunch this morning? That's cute."
"No, but at least my mother taught me how to act towards another person. Can't say the same for you."
Ryo's face changed.
"Shige!" Pi warned.
Shige's eyes widened, realizing what he had just said. Oh my God... He immediately regretted it, and turned to Ryo apologetically.
Ryo's glare became even angrier. "That's right. Yeah, you are sooo smart! I never had a mother to teach me anything. I'm just a fucking rich bastard. I have to use my father's money to buy my friends because 'I don't know how to treat other people'. Wow, I guess you're not such an idiot after all."
Shige froze, terrified at the look he was recieving, and also not wanting to say something else he'd regret.
Ryo stood up to leave. "By the way, the deal's still on." He pushed Tegoshi out of the way of the door and slammed it behind him.
"Shige...why'd you have to bring up his mom? You know how he feels about that..." Pi said, defending his friend.
"I-I Don't know, it just slipped out..." I hope that it didn't hurt him too much...damn, why did I say that??
"You should apologi-."
"Apologize?!" Koyama protested. "HE should be the one apologizing to Shige!"
"Ryo-chan's just joking around, he does it all the time."
"Again, not funny.." Massu mumbled as he made his way out the door.
"It's okay. I'll apologize to him later. I know I went too far.."
~~~
The rest of the day, Ryo shot death glares at Shige. Damned idiot. Why'd you have to bring her up? Huh? You just love to torture me, don't you?
After rehearsals were over for their new song "Summer Time", they all went to the NewS room to pack up.
"Gyoza~ Meat~ Ramen~ Soba~ Udon~ hot hot food!! Oh YES!" Massu sang, exiting the room quickly, eager for his dinner.
Tegoshi joined in. "Day is over and we get a break~ Hot parts..I mean hot food! Oh YES!" he sang, following Massu.
"Food food food~ Yey!" Pi threw his bag over his shoulder, singing along and following behind.
Shige laughed. I guess they're all hungry...
"You okay here, Shige?" Koyama asked, eyeing Ryo, who was ignoring the whole situation.
"Uh..yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Seeya tomorrow~" Shige assured, still packing up.
"Jya~"
They were alone again, and Shige was a bit nervous, but he felt relieved when he realized that Koyama had left the door open. He turned back to his bag and rummaged through it, making sure he didn't forget anything. Cell phone, check! iPod, check! Notebook, check! He jumped as he heard the door slam shut and saw the lights dim to a faint brightness. Cautiously he turned around to see Ryo, who was slowly walking towards him.
"What were you thinking? Fucking trying to disobey me like that. I thought I made it clear. Don't ask questions, just do it!" Ryo snarled.
Shige was shaking, unable to speak, unable to move. "I-I never a-agreed to play your little game."
Ryo stopped, seemingly lost in thought. "Hmm....nope! I don't remember asking you to agree. I told you to come with me tonight."
"Wh-Why? What a-are you going to do to me?" Shige backed into the table.
Ryo smirked and got up close to Shige. "Wouldn't you like to know? Come on, you must feel something when I'm this close to you, right? A little fooling around won't hur-"
Ryo was cut off by Shige's right fist digging into his gut. He doubled over and backed away. "aghh...Fuck.." Did he seriously just punch me?
"What the hell, Shige?!" Ryo held onto his stomach, still in pain.
"I-I'm sorry...I..just don't like you standing so close. I mean...if you want to cheat, go ahead..just don't involve me."
Ryo glared at Shige and stood upright. "Such an innocent little angel, aren't we? Sweet little Shige never did anything in his life that was against the rules."
"That's not true."
"Oh? Is that so..."
"What about you? You probably never did anything that wasn't against the rules. You just do whatever you want."
"Exactly. I do what I want, say what I want, whenever I want. No rules! Of course not. My life is just so fucking perfect. Wow, it's amazing how much you know about me. Great job!" Ryo clapped sarcastically, but then winced, moving his hand to his wound.
"Nishikido-kun? Does it hurt that badly?" Shige ran over and tried to put a hand near the wounded area.
Ryo pushed him away. "Get away from me! It doesn't hurt! I'm not some fucking sissy girl like you." Ryo turned away, wincing again. Where did he learn to punch so hard? Fucking OWW.
"Sit!" Shige pushed him onto the couch and left the room.
Ryo shook his head and took off his shirt. "Damnit...this is definately going to bruise. Fucking Shige."
Shige walked back in with a few ice cubes wrapped in a cloth. "I got you some i-"
He stopped and turned away as soon as he saw Ryo, laying his head back, chest fully exposed. It was also apparent that he obviously wears his pants too low...
Ryo noticed Shige, and lifted his head.
"Don't flatter yourself, I'm not going to do anything. Trust me, I'm not that interested." Ryo rolled his eyes and laid his head back once again.
Shige slowly turned around and sat on the couch next to Ryo, a large space between them. Ryo turned his head and looked at him. Shige felt flushed as they made eye contact.
"I-I got you some ice..." he lifted up the cloth towards Ryo.
"Thanks." Ryo took the cloth and put it lazily on his wound.
"If you put it on there like that, it's not gonna help anything."
"Yes it will. Why are you still here anyway? I don't need you here, and you don't want to be here, so just fucking leave already."
Shige sighed. "I wouldn't have to stay if you knew how to care for a wound."
"Well I wouldn't have the wound in the first place if you didn't fucking punch me out of nowhere."
"Fine, just let me do it then." Shige scooted over so he was close to Ryo, picked up the cloth and began pressing it on the wound. Ryo lifted his head.
"Hey.." He was about to protest, but he stopped himself. He stared at Shige's determined yet gentle face, he felt the cold, stinging sensation of the ice mixed with the warmth of Shige's fingers touching his bare abdomen. As Shige continued he became numb to the pain. The only thing he felt was an unknown warmth running through his body.
Why is he staring at me like that? Shige felt unbearably awkward but still continued nonetheless, deciding to focus on something else. The feeling of Ryo's unwandering stare..the sight of Ryo's lean yet toned chest in front of him, the feeling of his soft skin under his fingertips...the short distance between their bodies...Shige's heart began to race. No no no...don't fall for it...Shige looked down to his hands and moved the ice bundle, causing the water from the ice, melting from Ryo's body heat, to run down Ryo's abdomen. Shige watched as the water trickled down over the silky skin, over his prortruding hipbones, over the middle, and down, there. Shige gulped as he could not take his eyes away. His face became hot as his blood rushed quicker and quicker. G-God no...I need..I need to get out of here.
Ryo sensed it, and smirked, sitting up and bringing his face next to Shige's. He breathed slowly into Shige's ear. "Mmm..cold.." Ryo said, voice low in a seductive whisper, lips brushing against his earlobe. Shige felt chills running down his entire body, which was matched with the heat of Ryo's breath, merging to create a burning electricity. Shige dropped the ice and stood up, and grabbed his bag and left without a word.
Ryo could only half smile. He was happy that he definately had control over Shige now, but at the same time he felt empty, losing the warmth he felt. Even if it was only for a few seconds, it made all the difference to Ryo, because for those few seconds, he felt that feeling he had always been desperate for.
A/N: Mmm..yummy. ^_~ lol! I don't have a chest fetish, of course not, why would you say that? XD Come on, tell me you don't picture water running down this hotness. I hope you liked it ^^;
