Rachel: so prob it is march 1
Rachel: i think yuuta is sort of impatient to give wakato a piece of his mind lol
Ko: ^^ He's a man with a mission. What day of the week is the 1st?
Ko: *nods nods* And it's basically a week after the second round of Atowaka pr0n?
Rachel: yes a little more than a week
Rachel: the smut would have been 1 week from either sat the 28th or sun the 29th
Rachel: yuuta was prob very distant during dinner to wakato
Rachel: and he did make the brownies with nuts out of spite
Ko: XD
Rachel: then sunday he and yagyuu got up spent time togegher then went to the fujis
Rachel: and when they came home prob stuck to their room
Ko: (Did they need to rest after that? )
Rachel: i think they needed something else XD;
Ko: Well, using a sufficiently broad definition of "rest"...
Rachel: no i think they "stayed" XD;
Ko: I think even though Wakato and Keigo did lose the cameras early, he'd still be anxious about any incriminating footage leading up to dinner, and would have at least tried to contact Niou about that.
Rachel: he would have had to meet niou sometime between round 2
Rachel: and sunday
Rachel: cause niou needed his costume
Ko: Oh, good point. OK, then let's assume they worked something out then. He's already going to be anxious about babysitting Kirihara, but he'd probably agree to a second round if he had to.
Rachel: there is less to edit the 2nd time
Rachel: just wakato agreeing to go out with keigo
Rachel: niou might even have been willing to take it out as a freebie if the costume was nice enough lol
Rachel: plus he is getting his amusement elsewhere
Ko: Wakato's kind of fearing for his mortal soul with that footage, so he probably found the best one that he could. ^^
Ko: All right. So this is the end of the early shift at work?
Ko: So it's Wakato and Yuuta on shift, and Kamio?
Rachel: wakato was prob relieved
Rachel: cause most of the last episode was focused on yuuyuu
Rachel: vs his sexcapades
Rachel: niou came through XD;
Rachel: but now yuuta knows lol
Rachel: maybe, they've just finished
Rachel: and keigo is already on the floor and yagyuu gave yuuta a quick kiss before also going out (sighing about his costume)
Rachel: ryoma is ummm where ever
Rachel: so maybe yuuta and wakato are about to change and kamio is in the bathroom
Ko: (No longer in this world)
Rachel: his hair is a mess from the hat XD;
Rachel: that way they're alone and still in costume lol
Ko: *nods* And Kamio gets upset when, like, one hair is out of place, so...
Rachel: yes he is going to be there a while XD;
Ko: (And Wakato is in Keigo's outfit from the date with Akutsu, Kim suggested. d)
Ko: I don't recall all the details, but she mentioned a red camisole and leather pants? I forgot to find the chat to double-check.
Rachel: i was thinking yuuta is in the cute outfit jiroh wore for one of his dates with kirihara i think
Rachel: i think he is in a cute pleated skirt that is just a little too short and ruffly panties for those occasional panty shots
Rachel: yuuta has been spending a lot of time blushing
Ko: XD Poor Yuuta
Ko: (Wakato would probably trade him in a heartbeat.)
Rachel: yagyuu is most put out he is not on shift with yuuta
Ko: (He could always ask Yuuta to, you know, borrow that costume for the night...)
Rachel: well i think yuuta is about to be borrowing it XD;;;;;
Rachel: this is the 2nd week of these costumes already
Ko: (Wakato's takes great pleasure in wiping off the little beauty mark he has to draw on each night...but it pains him to draw it on again for each shift.
Rachel: yes so maybe he has not wiped it off yet
Yuuta: *waves one last time to Yagyuu as he watches his boyfriend leave, before taking a deep breath and turning to Wakato both still in costume, crossing his arms over his chest* You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Wakato-san! I can't believe you!
Yuuta: *voice starting to rise a little, thankfully the employee changing room is soundproof* ..I'm not sure if you're being more unfair to Keigo or Akira-kun!
Wakato: *standing in front of his open locker, little cotton makeup removal pad poised over his cheek as he prepares to start de-molemaning himself; half turned and looking at Yuuta* Oh, jeez, do you have to start in about the stupid book again? Look, if I give you the money, will you just --
Wakato: *freezes* Wait, what?
Yuuta: *moving his hands to his hips* You heard me! How--how could you! Playing with people's feelings is a horrible thing, Wakato-san and I..
Yuuta: *swallowing* I'd thought better of you. *anger heavily flavoring his words*
Wakato: *takes his bag out of the locker and puts it on the bench, then drapes his change of clothes over it and starts undoing his pants* I have no idea what you're talking about, Yuuta-kun. Didn't realize I was STILL dropping in your estimation, though -- does that mean I'm in for worse than brownies with nuts? *smirks* You're not going to spike my Nyan-Nyan with pecans, are you?
Yuuta: *swinging an arm and hitting the locker with a loud banging sound, the air from the movement making his tiny skirt give a jump* I hadn't thought you could drop either, but then you.. you.. *blurting it out and then cheeks going bright red* You can't keep it in your pants!
Yuuta: *closing his eyes and hands forming two small fists near his hips, his cheeks still bright pink* I'm going to tell Akira-kun, I think he has a right to know, Wakato-wan. *voice quiet but words very clear*
Yuuta: You're not being fair to either.
Wakato: *jumps at the locker door slamming shut, then hmphs! and puts his hands on his hips* If this is about Kira and I on the kitchen counter the other night, look, I'm sorry, but we didn't think anyone would still be --
Wakato: *stops dead; blinks*
Wakato: *turns toward Yuuta slowly, then takes a step closer to him; tries to look casual, but his voice is low and his eyes are too intense* What is it you think Kira has a right to know about, Yuuta-kun?
Yuuta: *swallows suddenly feeling very small, but not about to back down* You know exactly what I am going to tell him, Wakato-san. *takes a step backwards, wishing he hadn't let Yagyuu already leave the room* He has a right to know!
Yuuta: *feeling a twinge of anxiety and really wishing someone else would come into the room right about now, but eyes still fierce* What you're doing is not fair to either Akira-kun or Keigo.
Wakato: *for all that he might be intimidating Yuuta, Wakato's mind is racing -- how did Yuuta find out? DID Yuuta find out, or is there maybe a teeny-tiny chance that he misinterpreted something someone said, or he fell asleep reading Atowaka doujinshi and had some extremely realistic dream about...yeah, that's probably reaching...*
Wakato: *realizes he's about an inch from Yuuta's face at this point, thinks that this must look bad from the camera's point of view -- and then remembers OH SHIT CAMERAS RECORDING EVERY WORD WE'RE SAYING*
Wakato: *(PROBABLY?)*
Yuuta: *backing himself into the lockers wondering why he ever thought it was a good idea to confront Wakato alone and then remembering that his plan was to convince Wakato to break up with Kamio without him having to actually tell Kamio the reason* I'm going to tell Akira-kun *trying to keep his voice steady and not like he is half freaked out*..he deserves to know what happened with Keigo.
Yuuta: And you.. you can't bully me!
Ko: (The Wuuta fangirls are already fangasming over this episode.)
Rachel: (assuming the footage doesn't get edited XD; )
Rachel: (i think niou is going to be dying over this lol)
Ko: (Yes XD Maybe this can somehow make the "special bonus footage" on the DVDs when they come out, though -- throw the poor girls a bone)
Rachel: (nah he releases it on line XD;; )
Rachel: (no sound just the images lol )
Ko: (Niou )
Wakato: *takes a step back -- but a small one* Who's bullying you? I was just going to ask if you wanted to go somewhere a little more private so we can chat...get caught up... *shrugs his shoulders and laughs lightly, but his expression only changes insofar as there's now a hint of panic in his eyes* I owe you a frappalotteccino or whatever after our tiff the other night, right?
Yuuta: *not breathing quite so hard though his palms are still damp, narrows his eyes half suspiciously* ..you want to treat me to Starbucks, Wakato-san? *unable to recognize the panic in Wakato's eyes too caught up in his own heightened emotions* ..and talk?
Yuuta: *forcing himself to sound more in control than he is* I'm not sure there is much to talk about and I can't let you keep hurting people I care for.
Wakato: *makes a frustrated noise, hands twitching* You...
Wakato: *hands slam into the lockers behind Yuuta as he suddenly leans in as close as he can, their faces about a half-inch apart, they're eye-to-eye -- as the Wuuta fangirls will later note, kissing distance! *
Wakato: *hissing through his teeth* You drop something like this on me and NOW YOU DONT THINK THERE'S ANYTHING TO TALK ABOUT?
Yuuta: *despite having not been this scared since Oshitari and Gakuto had him trapped in the Hyoutei locker room, or well maybe the time with Niou, looks Wakato in the eyes, trying not to appear weak, hands flat against the lockers* I'm not going to Starbucks with you, Wakato-san.
Yuuta: *forcing his voice to remain steady and even* You cheated on Akira-kun and.. and used Keigo.
Yuuta: It's not right. *bites his lip anxiously hoping Kamio finishes in the bathroom not even realizing that if Kamio were to see them now he'd probably have a hissy fit and think he and Wakato were the ones having the affair*
Ko: (Unless Kamio is secretly a Wuuta fangirl, too...he tells himself he's fantasizing about a threesome, but...)
Wakato: *thinks to himself: SHIIIIIIT.*
Wakato: *opens his mouth to say something when he hears the toilet flush off to his right*
Wakato: *eeps!, grabs Yuuta's nearer wrist and bolts out the locker room toward the stairs, dragging Yuuta behind him*
Yuuta: *completely flummoxed and mouth agape as he's dragged out of Mandarake still in his Jiroh costume behind Wakato, the skirt giving a little flounces as they get to the top of the stairs*
Yuuta: *sputtering as Wakato continues to drag him along, too shocked to really be fighting it* I said I won't go to Starbucks with you, Wakato-san!
Yuuta: *gets jostled a bit by the crowd, until Wakato makes a sharp turn up a street, feeling the grip on his wrist tighten* You're hurting me! *cheeks dark red*
Wakato: *looks over his shoulder, trying to see if the cameraman is still following them; not really hearing Yuuta, not really thinking about where they're going or how this must look to people on the street, especially given the way they're dressed -- just thinking they need to get somewhere and get there FAST, somewhere where the camera can't follow, somewhere where -- *
Wakato: *notices a sign for a love hotel just ahead; in his panic, it takes him a second to realize why it looks familiar -- it's the same one Niou took him to for their little chat about getting some inconvenient footage excised*
Wakato: *about to keep running, but them he remembers hey, this place was kind of affordable; dashes inside, still dragging Yuuta like a rag doll*
Wakato: *drops Yuuta's wrist and starts fumbling with his wallet* I swear, Yuuta-kun, not what it looks like, not what it looks like, not what it looks like.
Yuuta: *still a bit shell shocked bumps into Wakato from behind when his wrist is finally released and they stop, before taking a step back and rubbing his wrist with his hand, glaring angrily at Wakato, before attempting to straighten his skirt* Where are we?
Yuuta: *glancing around quickly goes back to rubbing the aching appendage, glad he doesn't have to worry about trying to play tennis again anytime soon* We're still in our costumes, Wakato-san. We need to go back. *isn't paying attention and misses Wakato just finally picking a room and shoving the money in*
Wakato: *turns toward Yuuta, already reaching for his arm, then notices him rubbing his wrist and stops*
Wakato: *sighs* We'll go back, but you and I need to have a little talk first. I'm not gonna do anything to you, but --
Wakato: *pauses, then looks down at what he's wearing; face falls*
Wakato: *reaches up and pokes at his wig; groans* Tell me I didn't just run through Shibuya dressed as Atobe!
Ko: (Panty-flashing magical girl? Doesn't bother him. Keigo? Yes)
Rachel: (vs yuuta who was the panty flashing magical girl XD;; )
Yuuta: *frowning as he drops his arm* Fine, I won't tell you. *thankful that at least he removed his wig or he's sure it would have fallen out somewhere onto the maze of streets that is Shibuya*
Yuuta: *looks around anxiously, trying to keep the color from his cheeks and failing* This is not Starbucks though. *sort of wishing it was since Starbucks is public which means no Wakato getting too close*
Yuuta: *suddenly sees the sign advertising "rests" and "stays"* WAKATO-SAN?!?!?!?!
Wakato: *holding up his hands* Yuuta-kun, please, just... *motions with his head toward the elevator*
Wakato: Before the camera guy figures out where we went, OK?
Yuuta: *swallows hard face completely red, wondering if this is another one of those bad ideas people have warned him about and if he is going to regret this* And you promise, you won't touch me?
Yuuta: Swear on your CardCaptor Sakura cards? *breathing deeply and telling himself Wakato is not a wolf*
Wakato: Yuuta-kun, if I do anything to you at all, you can tie me up and make me watch while you snap my super-rare-took-me-five-years-to-find-all-three-pieces Eternal Tier over your knee, all right?
Wakato: Just... *waves his arms toward the elevator*
Ko: (lol He's a bunny -- a bunny!)
Ko: (Sailor Moon's weapon in Sailor Stars. XD)
Yuuta: *biting his nail for a second praying that he does not regret this* Just remember your promise. *goes into the building to the elevator, just noticing the cameraman out of the corner of his eye as the door shuts to the elevator.*
Yuuta: *glancing around nervously at all the mirrors in the elevator, trying not to look at himself or Wakato, but unable to help it with the myriad of reflections* Is this where you and Keigo.. ummm.. *RED*
Wakato: *leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest* Yuuta-kun, think who we're talking about here -- do you really think I'd settle for a love hotel in Shibuya?
Yuuta: *blushing darker* Then when were you... *remembers the mysterious anonymous birthday present his brother received the day before and it was a costume..eyes bug out and he looks down turning an even brighter color from the fact the floor is a mirror too, showing off the ruffly panties he is wearing and the fact Wakato's fly is still open*
Yuuta: *closing his eyes cheeks nearly radioactive red*..Anou..... Wakato-san..*makes a strangling sound* your.. *moves hand where his fly would be if he was in fact wearing pants which he's not and mimes zipping, promising himself right now he is not going to drink anything Wakato offers him or put on any lingerie*
Wakato: *worried for a second, because it looks like Yuuta is bashfully trying to show him his cute panties -- and not that Wakato would mind, but it makes him wonder if Yuuta isn't getting too into the Jiroh-chan role it to be safe in an elevator with him...*
Wakato: *while looking, happens to see a flash of something gold and shiney in the mirror behind Yuuta; on closer inspection, it's the top of his silk panties (bikini style), clearly visible because his pants are still undone from back at Mandarake...meaning the whole time they were running through Shibuya...*
Wakato: *frowning deeply, his own face nearly as red as Yuuta's, zips up without saying a word*
Yuuta: *still keeping his eyes closed just in case, the color not dissipating from his cheeks in the slightest* So.. how did you know about this.. this place?
Yuuta: *stomach lurching as the elevator comes to a stop, or at least hoping that is the cause for the feeling, really wishing he had just agreed to go to Starbucks right about now where he could be drinking a nice frappucino*
Wakato: *as the doors open* Mmm...well...that's sort of... Ah, we're here. You first, Yuuta-kun. *wants to make sure he doesn't bolt*
Wakato: *checks the room number on the receipt, which oddly enough is the same one from the RWT apartment...huh. Coincidences.*
Yuuta: *exits the elevator, finally giving a fast glance to Wakato studiously not making sure the other boy has zipped up his pants, voice small* You didn't come here with Aniki, did you?
Yuuta: *laughing in a high nervous fashion as if such a thing was completely impossible, but then his brother did make that cryptic comment about Wakato knowing where his non-alcohlic birthday champagne his sister had sent to the apartment had disappeared to...*
Yuuta: *squeezes the too short hem of his skirt as he looks up and down the hallway having no idea where they're going* Are you umm sure this is a good idea?
Wakato: *starts down the hall, keeping Yuuta in front of him and checking room numbers as they go; sourly* Exactly how many people do you think I'm cheating on Kira WITH, Yuuta-kun?
Wakato: Anyway, it's a much better idea that having this conversation in the middle of the store -- you know, where there are people around? Not-deaf, not gaijin people who can understand every word you say?
Wakato: Oh, this is it. *stops in front of a door and pauses for a minute before swiping the key card, because actually, it kind of LOOKS like the door to the RWT apartment, too...*
Yuuta: *crosses his arms irritably getting his confidence back, the familiarity of the door not quite registering* I don't know how many people, Wakato-san. For all I know it's everyone I know except me and Hiroshi-san.
Yuuta: *walking through the door, not completely comfortable with having Wakato behind him but not really able to do anything about it, thinking at the very least Wakato ought to hold the door open for him like Yagyuu does* And your suggestion of Starbu-
Yuuta: *just stops and stares as he sees what looks like miniature versions of the two couches in front of a huge TV, a scaled down version of the dinning room table and kitchen to his left, feeling Wakato bump into him from behind before his arms go out as he flails and starts to fall forward*
Wakato: *normally, Wakato would reach out a hand and catch Yuuta before he hits the ground, but normally, Wakato isn't trying to figure out whether the elevator they were just in was some kind of dimensional gateway, and they've landed in some kind of strange parallel universe where the RWT boys are all midgets. So long story short, his mental processes are otherwise occupied*
Yuuta: *sees a few stars from the pain in his hands as he catches himself before face planting as well as a very good replica of the flooring in the apartment, wonders for a second if he didn't just completely imagine everything that happened until he realizes he is in a skirt and Yagyuu is not with him, makes a low noise of complaint*
Yuuta: *sits back onto his knees painfully despite their not being scraped and stares dumbly*
Wakato: *gets the receipt out of his pocket and slowly raises it to the level of his eyes, kind of afraid to let his guard down even long enough to look down*
Wakato: *reads*
Wakato: ...oh, you've got to be kidding me.
Wakato: *looks around more slowly, then walks over to the petite makeout couch and starts to examine it; finally chuckles*
Yuuta: *still on his knees looking much more bedraggled than Jiroh would ever look between being dragged through Shibuya and then tripping* ..please don't tell me this is what I think this is.
Yuuta: *shakily gets to his feet, giving Wakato a very resentful look as he moves towards the kitchen praying at the very least that there is some tea here!*..Is this the same room you used before, Wakato-san? *trying to make himself sound completely comfortable despite the lurching in his stomach having gotten stronger*
Wakato: *poking around, kind of amused after getting over his initial horror* No, that one was much more vanilla. Wow. Do you think MTV gets royalties from this?
Wakato: *curiosity roused, walks past Yuuta in the kitchen to see if the triple has been faithfully relocated*
Yuuta: *breathes a steady sigh of relief to think Wakato and his brother were not having a torrid affair in the replica, that and there is a package of his favorite ginger tea though doesn't want to think about why and starts making a cup to try to keep himself from hyperventilating* Are you having an affair with Aniki as well then? I saw that anonymous gift and it.. it looked like something you would pick out. *cheeks pink, particularly because he remembers Yagyuu whispering the costume was being wasted on the wrong Fuji*
Yuuta: I can't believe your.. you're going to love hotels and..and.. and.. with Keigo....
Wakato: *comes back carrying a three-ringer binder and flipping through its pages -- appropriately, the book of costumes for rent was in the triple, and he's kind of tempted to get something sent up, since it's evidently free...that, and the Rabi~en~Rose hanging up in the closet was so shoddy it offended his elite cosplay sensibilities*
Wakato: What gift? No offense to Fuji the elder, but I'm not exactly the RWT roommate that's made of money. *and on saying that, finally remembers and pulls the wig off, shakes his hair out*
Yuuta: *scowls as he pours himself a cup of the tea* Would you like a cup also, Wakato-san? *ingrained manners coming out despite the situation, both dreading and curious about the fact there must be some sort of version of his own bedroom in this looking glass facsimile. *
Yuuta: *flushing, before taking a sip of his tea* Someone sent Aniki.. *nods towards the costume book* He nearly blushed! And well... you've been here before... and you were both really friendly when the show first started. *defensively* It seemed as likely as your affairs with Keigo!
Wakato: *twitches* I'll pass on the tea, thanks. *had thought about telling Yuuta the vending machine in the triple had free cans of tea and coffee, but then it also had condoms, dildos, handcuffs, a cat o' nine tails, and just generally enough fun stuff to leave Yuuta blushing scarlet for days*
Wakato: *almost says, "I think there's substantially less evidence for your brother and I than me and Atobe," but thankfully catches himself*
Wakato: OK. So first off, "affairs?" *raises an eyebrow* And second, I've been more intimate with your SISTER than your brother, and that didn't even AMOUNT to anything. So no need to panic.
Yuuta: *screeching* YOU TOOK MY SISTER TO A LOVE HOTEL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Wakato: *covers his ears* No! SHE took us up to HER ROOM! And left us there tied up, and we'd probably still be STUCK there if your BROTHER didn't help us out!
Yuuta: YOU FOLLOWED MY SISTER TO HER ROOM?!?!?! *eyes wide and nearly spitting out the tea he's been trying to sip*
Yuuta: How many people ARE you...you.. you know with, Wakato-san?!?!?! *takes a step back feeling a lot less sure Wakato doesn't have some sort of obsession with Fuji siblings*
Yuuta: Who did you bring here?!?
Wakato: ONE! ONE! JUST ONE!
Wakato: *quickly* ONE THAT I'M SLEEPING WITH, NOT "THERE'S ONE OTHER PERSON HERE."
Yuuta: *eyes narrowing* And you expect me to believe that! *banging his mug onto the counter causing some hot tea to splash out onto his hand* I personally know of at least 2!
Yuuta: And now you're going to love hotels and following MY SISTER to her BEDROOM *shouting quite loudly*
Wakato: SHE INVITED US UP
Wakato: *huffy* Maybe we wouldn't have GONE if you'd been a better host.
Yuuta: WHAT?!?!? And I suppose it's my fault you had an affair with Keigo twice too! *skin flushed with anger and eyes fierce as his decibel level rises*
Yuuta: And that's still a 3rd person! *holds out 3 fingers* Who ELSE are you having an affair with, Bunta-san? Masaharu-san? Oshitari-san and Mukahi-san?!?!
Wakato: Oh for the love of... *rakes his hands through his hair, making it stick up in funny ways since it got sweaty under the wig* Yuuta-kun, it's not an AFFAIR if you do it once, and it's ESPECIALLY not an affair if your boyfriend is on the bed next to you getting a bell tied on his dick!
Yuuta: *eyes going completely huge and voice squeaking* You let my sister tie a bell to your.. your... *cheeks radioactively red and feeling completely sick*
Yuuta: *starting to hyperventilate slightly* Why on-- *closes his eyes*.. no I.. I... don't want to know more. *slumping but still holding out two fingers accusingly*
Wakato: *finding it hard to sympathize when Yuuta's the one screaming at him, but if Wakato thinks he has it bad now, try to come up with a cover story for the paramedics as to why he was alone with Yuuta in a love hotel when Yuuta evidently had a massive squick-induced stroke*
Wakato: ...don't you think you should sit down before you pass out?
Yuuta: *nods head, picking back up his tea cup and clutching it before gingerly moving towards the couches and sitting on the non-makeout one in front of the TV. Wooziness continuing at the sight of RWT library of VHS tapes as well as the PS2 with copies of some sort of RWT based game and a copy of the X fighting game* I think we should have gone to Starbucks.
Yuuta: *rests his head against the back cushion, closing his eyes and trying to calm his breathing*...I don't want to know what you've done with either my sister or my brother.
Wakato: *flops on the makeout couch opposite Yuuta and sits with his elbows on his knees and hands dangling down between his legs* For the last time -- nothing with your brother, and so little with your sister that even I'M not shameless enough to claim it for a notch on my belt.
Wakato: How did we even get into this conversation anyway?
Yuuta: *shrugs, drinking a small sip of tea and feeling his stomach settle a little* I think I was trying to find out who you took to a love hotel... because even I know love hotels are where you go to have affairs. *blushes not really thinking through the fact that he and Wakato are currently in a love hotel and rather obviously not having an affair except to those few Wuuta fangirls*
Yuuta: *frowns and puts one of the pillows from the catch over the teasing VHS tapes and video games not wanting to see them or think about them*
Wakato: *mammoth sigh* If I tell you who took ME to a love hotel -- this one specifically, the only one I've ever BEEN TO in Tokyo...well, since Kira and I got back together, anyway...
Wakato: ...anyway, will you promise not to immediately leap to the conclusion that it was for sex?
Yuuta: *half suspiciously* Only if you promise to tell me what it was for then. *doesn't mention that this is his first time to a love hotel ever, but cheeks definitely pinkish*
Wakato: *comforts himself with the idea that at least Yuuta isn't screaming anymore* Niou. I had something of a kind of sensitive nature I wanted to talk to him about, and this is the place he picked out.
Wakato: Him. Not me.
Yuuta: *eyes opening wide, trying to keep to his promise, swallowing hard and sitting back farther into the couch*..he wasn't.. uhhh.. taking pictures of you, was he? *RED*
Yuuta: *pushing the pillow even more to hide the video games* ..Akira-kun doesn't like Masaharu-san at all.
Wakato: *snorts; completely joking* Why, did he take pictures of you?
Yuuta: *doesn't say anything for a second cheeks getting redder*..No. no, of course not. *hands gripping the tea cup tightly*
Yuuta: *wondering now if Wakato isn't also one of those people Yagyuu was referring to along with the two of them as people Niou had taken compromising pictures of*
Wakato: *looks intrigued for a moment...then shakes his head*
Wakato: OK, so obviously there's an interesting story behind THAT reaction. But I'm going to do the nice thing and not ask. Because I know it's none of my business.
Yuuta: *cheeks coloring more and staring down at his tea cup*..No one was hurt, Wakato-san *voice quiet* ..that's the difference.
Yuuta: *tone earnest as he sets down the cup and looks up at Wakato* What you did hurt two people I care very much about, and that's not right.
Yuuta: *slipping off his penny loafers so he can places his feet on the couch arms wrapping around his knees* ..Akira-kun thinks you're both in love... and committed to one another..
Yuuta: *voice barely audible* ..and you're not.
Wakato: *glares* I don't think it's up to you to decide who's in love and who's not, is it?
Yuuta: *voice soft* ..maybe not, but when you love someone.. you.. you don't have affairs. *despite how difficult it is for him to say all this has been keeping his gaze on Wakato, cheeks nearly constantly pink*
Yuuta: Hiroshi-san and I.. we'd neither of us ever...
Wakato: Does anyone ever fuck up and do something stupid in your universe, Yuuta, or is it all affairs, affairs, affairs, like you did it on purpose?
Yuuta: *shirking back at the venom in Wakato's words, finally breaking his gaze*..No, people can make mistakes, Wakato-san. But it's been twice now. Twice is not an accident. *tone steady and quiet*
Yuuta: And you've hurt Keigo.
Wakato: *small sigh, but still staring intensely at Yuuta* What did you hear?
Yuuta: *hugging his knees tighter, his short skirt barely covering his panties in this position, as he bites on his lower lip* I know Keigo cares about you.. and you... that it's been more than once.
Yuuta: Are you really sure you love Akira-kun?
Wakato: *eyes narrow; stares -- but not at Yuuta's panties; in fact, he isn't looking at nothing in particular*
Wakato: *after a moment of silence and stillness, says in a very flat voice* ...he told you.
Yuuta: *not quite understanding what Wakato is getting at, turns to look away from the other boy, cheeks a vibrant hue*..I once or maybe twice thought.. thought I could be in love... but I wasn't. I didn't only want them. So I.. I do understand how you can make a mistake.
Yuuta: *facing Wakato again* ..but it's not fair to Keigo or Akira-kun, Wakato-san. Not when you're not sure.
Wakato: *not hearing Yuuta at all; still has that distant look on his face* He told you.
Yuuta: *brows furrowing, blinks at Wakato* Ehhh?
Wakato: He told. That bastard told. That...
Wakato: *face contorted with rage* OOOOOH!
Wakato: *jumps to his feet* BASTARD! *doing a mocking but still impressive Keigo impression* "Don't worry, Wakato!" "I'll be discreet, Wakato!" "I won't tell ANYONE, Wakato!" "I wouldn't DO that to you, Wakato!"
Rachel: keigo told yuuta not to tell kamio anything
Rachel: cause wakato didn't want kamio knowing
Rachel: but he never said anything about not mentioning it to wakato lol
Ko: XD
Ko: Loophole!
Ko: (Yuuta: secret lawyer.)
Rachel: he's not a lawyer but he's going to be married to one XD;;;
Rachel: yagyuu is a future contract lawyer lol
Ko: (Yuuta will secretly be Yagyuu's nemesis-lawyer. He always goes to court wearing a mask.)
Ko: (It's like Phoenix Wright, in a way.)
Yuuta: *eyes completely wide scrambles across the cushions of the couch backing away from Wakato and nearly falling over an arm*..Wakato-san!?!?!
Yuuta: ..you..you.. *fear etched across his features*..please stop!
Wakato: *still not paying attention, still pissed off, and increasingly unhinged* I'm gonna kill him. I'm going to kill him in his sleep, just put a pillow over his face and... *brief pause* But it'll be hours before he goes to sleep. I'll put something in his tea so he gets drowsy, and...
Wakato: *looks at Yuuta, oblivious to how all this must sound* We've got tea back at the apartment, right?
Yuuta: *wondering if this entire plan of his was inspired by the "Bad Idea Bears" and taking Wakato's death threats far too seriously is starting to shake* You promised, Wakato-san.. if I came.. you promised..
Yuuta: *steadily getting more terrified, grabs one of the video games, coincidentally the X fighting game and throws it at Wakato before reaching the pillow he was using to hide said items and holding it out like a shield*..You just can't kill Keigo!
Wakato: *bats the game away before it hits him* I said I wouldn't touch you! I didn't say anything about not killing that...that...*trying to make sure he gets in all the appropriate epithets*...lying spoiled bastard rich-boy pampered princess SON OF A BITCH!
Wakato: Anyway, think about what a beautiful corpse he'll make! *enthusiastic about this idea; has a vision of Keigo lying in a coffin filled with roses a la Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge, which, also like YNS, ends with Keigo beautiful a nude beautiful corpse, causing Wakato to shake his head to clear it out of his mind*
Yuuta: *a few tears starting to escape, pillow still blocking his face from Wakato in case he gets more violent* But Wakato-san!..Keigo needed a friend.. haven't you even noticed how unhappy he was feeling!?!? And it's... it's your fault too!
Yuuta: Don't hurt Keigo.. I'll.. I'll do ..please don't *sobbing a bit*..how can you be so horrible!
Wakato: He doesn't need a friend, he has a dog, which he was supposed to say died, but I bet he didn't do that, either! Oooooh! *runs his hands through his hair, frustrated*
Wakato: *turns on Yuuta angrily* Oh, don't try the sad face on me! That's what HE did, and then -- and then --
Wakato: You know, a lot of this is your fault, actually!
Yuuta: *tears dripping steadily* ..my fault!.. How is it my fault?!?!? *sniffles*..
Yuuta: *wiping his tears with the back of his hand, pillow still being held* I don't understand you, Wakato-san.. I don't.. stop yelling at me!
Wakato: *hands on his hips* Because you ran off on him! He's like this because you ditched him for Yagyuu!
Wakato: That's why I felt sorry for him! That's why I -- I mean, I never would have -- I mean, again, SOBER, I wouldn't --
Wakato: *makes gestures with his hands, but he can't quite put it into words; finally blurts out* I love Kira!
Yuuta: *sniffling one last time for now and lowering the pillow slightly, biting down on his lip*..You can't place all the blame on me, Wakato-san. Keigo did not love me... then or now.
Yuuta: *eyes narrowing ever so slightly* And I left Aniki.. and he.. he was.. *closes his eyes*.. You said you weren't having an affair with him!
Yuuta: *forcing the steadiness back into his voice, still breathing slightly faster than normal from his agitation and fear*..I love Hiroshi-san. How can you ask me to stay with someone I don't love. *dropping to a whisper*..besides.. would that really have stopped you. Akira-kun told me about New York.
Yuuta: You made the decision... you did! ..you can threaten to murder Keigo or blame me, but you and I both know the truth.
Yuuta: You don't love Akira-kun... not really.
Wakato: *glares at Yuuta silently*
Wakato: *gathers himself a bit, then nods condescendingly* All right. I hear you, I hear you. Now, if I can make my counter-argument, first off *points at Yuuta* fuck you. I made a mistake -- two mistakes, whatever --
Wakato: *slamming his hands down on the coffee table in front of Yuuta* PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES, YUUTA. EVEN PEOPLE WHO ARE IN LOVE make mistakes.
Wakato: Here, let me lay it all out for you, since he's probably given you his version, too. HE *said with obvious disgust* told me all about his absurdly horrible romantic past, and out of misplaced compassion, I felt sorry enough for him to go with him to a hotel room and keep him company for a while. So pity sex, number one!
Wakato: So yeah, we fucked, and it was a-MAAAA-zing, which I guess YOU'D know all about. But you know what? I STILL WANTED TO COME HOME TO KIRA, who isn't as great in bed, but who I still abso-fucking-lutely ADORE.
Yuuta: *blanches from both the cursing and the way Wakato just hit the table, taking a deep breath* Do.not.curse.at.me. Not over your mistakes, which you made.
Yuuta: *slowly pushes himself backward to sit on the arm of the couch, wanting to make sure to keep a safe distance from Wakato in case he has another one of his outbursts and wondering if he could make it to the door before Wakato could catch him*.. I feel bad for Keigo too, and Aniki. I've not had sex with either.
Yuuta: *taking a slow breath mentally preparing himself for Wakato losing his temper again*..and what about New York? I don't care if Akira-kun was there.. you still...
Yuuta: *closing his eyes tightly as if preparing for a blow, voice a hoarse whisper*..when you love someone.. you can't afford to make those sorts of mistakes. It's not fair to them.
Wakato: What do you mean you haven't had sex with Atobe? I thought that was the whole point of the Greece thing.
Wakato: And I'll stop "cursing" if you stop telling me that I'm not in love with Kira.
Yuuta: *straddling the arm of the couch, cheeks pink*...I had sex with Keigo.. but not after.. *cheeks darkening* ..I've felt very bad for him since we broke up. I talked to Akutagawa-san, Akira-kun, Masaharu-san, and Hiroshi-san about it... and now you. But no matter how bad I've felt.. I was never tempted to betray my promise and my feelings for Hiroshi-san.
Yuuta: You can curse, just don't curse at *ME*. I came here..like you demanded. *setting the pillow down on the couch* I don't deserve that.
Wakato: Well, maybe I don't think I deserve to be lectured about love from a guy who was a virgin until a few months ago and who's been in a grand total of --how many serious relationships? One? Two?
Wakato: You ever think maybe your experience is different from other people's? That for some of us, sex does not equal pure eternal true love forever *says the shoujo fanboy*, and *catches and stops himself from saying "fucking up"* making a bad decision in the heat of the moment doesn't mean you're not in love with this other person, and your relationship is automatically over?
Wakato: *crosses his arms* You're being a little close-minded.
Yuuta: *sliding his legs to the other side of the sofa arm, putting a good portion of the couch between himself and Wakato*..Perhaps I am naive.. and a bit romantic.. and perhaps the relationship is not automatically over.. but it is something both partners need to talk about. You can't just hide it and pretend it didn't happen.
Yuuta: *biting his lip, hands in tight fists against his sides* You picked to have.. sex.. with Keigo.. and not because of me or anyone else.. *solemn* Akira-kun thought I'd broken up with Keigo because of what you did with Keigo.
Yuuta: *quietly* Being a virgin doesn't make a difference..sex might not be love.. *RED*..but it's something precious. How many serious relationships have you been in Wakato-san?
Wakato: *opens his mouth, then stops for a second -- technically speaking, Kamio IS the first person he's ever actually tried to be committed to*
Wakato: I've been in a lot of relationships -- maybe not all of them as serious as the current one, or you and Yagyuu *has to restrain himself from saying, "and clearly no relationship is or will ever be as pure and sturdy and untarnished by infidelity as THAT one"* but enough that I know the difference between being in love and just being turned on by someone.
Wakato: And if Kira did say that, I hope you set him straight. He's got problems enough without feeling guilty over something that wasn't even his fault.
Yuuta: *carefully takes a single step backwards, eyes on Wakato* Yes. I told Akira-kun I broke up with Keigo because I didn't love him. But that doesn't negate what you did in New York, when he was technically my boyfriend still.
Yuuta: *frowning as he moves another silent and small pace back* ...Were those relationships serious, Wakato-san? If you're going to hold my inexperience up to judgment it's only fair we examine your own.
Yuuta: *seriously, looking at Wakato steadily as he moves one more tiny step*..If you love Akira-kun and you trust him, then tell him what you did honestly.
Yuuta: And tell Keigo you're sorry for using him.
Wakato: *finally takes note of Yuuta's retreat; sighs*
Wakato: You know, if I'm going to smother anyone with a pillow, it's Atobe, not you. You can sit down.
Wakato: Anyway, I only paid for the one-hour "rest," and it's been...*checks his watch* ...well, we're getting there. So unless you've got your wallet tucked into your panties, you won't be able to leave until I'm ready to go.
Wakato: ...and he used me more than I used him, anyway.
Yuuta: *blushes bright red at being caught in the act, and laughs a little anxiously before slowly moving back to the couch sitting tentatively on the sofa's arm* ..I don't even have my keitai...
Yuuta: *staring at his hands in his lap, skirt primly covering as much of him as it's capable of*..the way you said it was my fault.. I... you were scaring me. *swallows* I don't think you ought to murder anyone.
Ko: ("Don't take work away from my father.")
Rachel: (the fuji family needs to eat! there are 5 mouths to feed and a 6th joining soon XD;; )
Yuuta: *softly* Keigo cares about you though...and your only concern is hiding it. That's why you need to apologize.
Yuuta: If I somehow... *brows furrowing really not being able to imagine anything that would cause him to cheat on Yagyuu* ..when I ran away.. without talking to Hiroshi-san first... I apologized. I love and trust him, so I owe him more. If you really love Akira-kun, he deserves that same respect.
Wakato: *frowns* You might not believe this, but I actually am committed to Kira. *smirks sadly* I mean, I had sex with Atobe TWICE and it still hasn't changed my mind. And I didn't almost kill myself trying to get into a school in Tokyo because I was planning to break up with him after the show.
Wakato: And I know I need to get my act together. *chuckles grimly* My mother hates that I have red hair like my dad -- do you know what she'd do to me if she found out I was taking after him like this, too?
Wakato: *sighs and sits on the makeout couch again, the first time since he started with the Keigo death threats* Look, let's say I agree with you that Kira should know about this -- OK? *looks up at Yuuta* But I want to be the one he hears it from, not you or Atobe or anyone else. And since it is kinda sensitive and personal, and because Kira sometimes throws plates, I'd kinda prefer to hold off on the fireworks until after the show, when every minute of our lives isn't being recorded for public con-
Wakato: *stops; eyes widen in horror*
Yuuta: *blinks several times, not known any of the details of Wakato's home life, having learned very quickly never ask questions about something you're not willing to volunteer yourself*..Your father, Wakato-san? *half wonders if that is perhaps one of the reasons Wakato thinks cheating is all right*
Yuuta: *gives Wakato a small tentative smile, having planned all along to try and get Wakato to be the one to confess to Kamio since he promised Keigo not to tell Kamio about the infidelities*..I guess waiting until after the show is best... *several wrinkles of consternation appearing as memories of how incredibly unpleasant the first big Wakami blow out was and having his own concerns with Yagyuu moving back to Yokohama as well as his first apartment preying on his mind*..but promise me you will tell him, and that you'll be responsible about it?
Yuuta: *stares at Wakato, smile starting to drop, not sure what caused the sudden look of horror*
Wakato: *turns his head slowly to look at Yuuta, with a slightly sick look on his face*
Wakato: *quietly* Yuuta-kun...where did you and Atobe have this little conversation? And when?
Yuuta: *continuing to blink for several more seconds in response considers Wakato's question* ..I uhhhh it was Saturday. I think.. I think we were talking in the living room, but then I invited Keigo to my room, so it would be more private. Why?
Wakato: *stares at Yuuta for a moment, then his head droops and he groans*
Wakato: Yuuta-kun...do you not get that apart from the bathrooms, there are cameras EVERYWHERE IN THE ENTIRE APARTMENT?
Wakato: THE BEDROOMS AREN'T "MORE PRIVATE!"
Wakato: Why do you think I dragged you to a love hotel to talk about this stuff?
Yuuta: *blinks dumbly for a few seconds having not expected to get yelled at for his attempt at thoughtfulness* ...But I.. I didn't know Keigo was going to tell me he was sad you're so mean to him. *guilelessly* And I'd never have thought of a love hotel..
Yuuta: *crosses his arms* I was trying to be thoughtful!
Yuuta: And besides *blush*..they get so much footage, I would think they could use something else. *trying to be reasonable*
Wakato: *thinks to himself, if Keigo thought he was mean to him before...*
Wakato: *raises an eyebrow* Yuuta-kun, do you not actually SHELVE doujinshi at work? Do you not know how absurdly popular Atowaka is with the viewers? They won't skip footage of you and Atobe talking about me and Atobe having sex -- it's the confirmation of all their horrible delusions!
Wakato: Oh GOD, I can just picture it -- *in a squeaky voice and acting like an over-the-top fangirl* "OMG IT'S CANON THEIR LUV IS SO PURE WAIIIIIIII!"
Yuuta: *blushing brightly, a bit put out by Wakato's rather mercurial mood swings* ..To be honest, Wakato-san, I try very very very hard not to think about any of those horrible books and such. It's bad enough people insist on sending me those sorts of things *color deepening*..I'm not certainly going to look for ones about you or Keigo!
Yuuta: *tone quizzical* Whyever would they not? They didn't show whatever footage they had when you and Keigo actually... *wiggles his fingers ashamedly*..you know, were actually involved. Judging from the things I've gotten in the mail they would be far more interested in that then.. well a conversation, between Keigo and I. *voice staying reasonable feeling rather sure of his conclusions*
Wakato: *flops sideways on the couch; speaks as if completely drained of energy* They didn't show it because they didn't have it. If they did, it would've been the main attraction an episodes back.
Wakato: *whimpers* At this rate, Niou's going to own me for life. *slightly panicked look in his eyes* If I live that long -- I still have to babysit Kirihara!
Yuuta: *blinking steadily faster in confusion* Why would Masaharu-san possibly own you for life!?!?
Yuuta: *a hint of concern entering his tone* Why on earth are you baby sitting Kirihara-san.. I... you ought to be careful, Wakato-san. I think Kirihara-san broke Tachibana-san's leg or something like that.
Yuuta: *a strange thought coming to him* Wakato-san.. did you... erase the footage? *bites lip as his eyes grow even larger*
Wakato: *still lying on his side, fingers playing listlessly with the carpet* I didn't -- Niou did. ...or maybe he just stole the footage and he's hanging on to it for future blackmail purposes -- I don't know.
Wakato: *looks at Yuuta* That was the "something of a kind of sensitive nature" we came here to talk about.
Yuuta: *squeaking* Masaharu-san?!?! *face becoming two large eyes with two bright spot beneath them and nothing else* ..Masaharu-san.. did that!?!?!
Yuuta: *feeling a little woozy slides down the sofa's arm onto the couch proper, putting a hand to his forehead as he closes his eyes*
Wakato: *looks over at Yuuta, still mopey* Are you really that surprised?
Wakato: You should ask him about it -- he'd probably cut you a better deal than me. *still a little annoyed that Niou completely sidestepped Kirihara's homicidal tendencies when they made their little arrangement*
Wakato: *sighs* But I guess you haven't got as much to be embarrassed about, right? *a little wryly* Since you'd never do anything to jeopardize your relationship with Sens- Yagyuu.
Yuuta: Masaharu-san?!?! The same one.. who.. is my friend? He.. *remembers that Yagyuu told him long ago that Niou is a cheater, swallowing hard* ..and Masaharu-san really did it?
Yuuta: *laughing a little anxiously*..you don't think.. Masaharu-san.. he... *has a sudden fear that his brother has paid Niou for footage of himself just getting changed in his bedroom*..has done this before, do you? *bites lip*
Yuuta: *frowning* I told you, Wakato-san.. I.. I..ran away that time.. without talking to Hiroshi-san first. *closes his eyes*..but not.. I would never done those sorts of things.
Wakato: *shrugs, then pushes himself up into a sitting position* I couldn't say for sure, but when we talked, it didn't sound like the first time he'd ever thought about doing it. So I'd say yeah, probably.
Wakato: *wondering whether he should put off violently murdering Keigo until after he babysits Kirihara, just in case Atobe has any more helpful hints on that subject... But what if Wakato doesn't survive? Then Keigo gets to live, and THAT'S not fair...*
Yuuta: *swallowing hard and trying to keep his voice light* You.. wouldn't have any idea what else Masaharu-san might have.. ummm edited from the show, do you? *blushing bright red* youdon'tthinkheissellingprivatepicturesofus???
Yuuta: *makes a gasp as he realizes how silly what he just said is considering the actual pictures he posed for with Niou and how none of that ever seemed to make it on the air either from what he can tell*..eheheh probably umm not, right? *RED* I'm probably just... over reacting...
Yuuta: *attempting to discreetly test his theory, cheeks very pink and looking down, trying to sound nonchalant*..I guess the fans just like you and Keigo together.. other indiscretions would be.. less appealing to have shared.
Wakato: *awakened out of his Keigo-throttling reverie* Hmm? Oh, no -- if working buy-back has taught me anything, it's that any potential pairing has -- at the VERY least -- a small but vocal fanbase. And if there's proof that their delusions have any basis in reality, they'd be all over that.
Wakato: *chuckles* Like people would probably pay good money for footage of, say, you and....hmm...
Wakato: *brow furrows in thought for a moment, then he brightens as something comes to him*
Wakato: ...you and Echizen, crazy as that sounds. Or you and Akutsu. *laughs* You and Niou!
Yuuta: *makes a horrible strangling sound* Noooooo, no one would want to see me and Masaharu-san.. do.. do.. THAT *trying to take back control over his rushing feelings* It'd be.. like.. uhhh seeing you and I doing something like that!
Yuuta: *feeling all the edginess and anxiety return from when Wakato was threatening Keigo's life*..you don't think.. anyone has paid him.. for footage of me, do you? *eyes incredibly wide*
Yuuta: Wakato-san, you actually look at.. at those books.. I hate seeing them. It's even worse than the ones about characters in stories I like. *starting to hyperventilate and remembering how Yagyuu had assured him that the show was bound to have more interesting footage than his confession about indiscretions with Niou and wondering if Niou removed said footage*
Wakato: *raises his eyebrows* Are you implying there IS footage that people would pay for? *puts his arms up on the back of the couch* I don't LOOK at them -- just the covers, usually.
Wakato: *notices Yuuta starting to breathe funny* Are you all right?
Yuuta: No! I'm not all right! *breathing sounding somewhat erratic and not in a sexual way at all*
Yuuta: *voice rising trying to fight off hysteria* And yes, there is footage! You don't think Aniki would.. would pay for footage of me just changing for bed each night?!?!?! *face a little too white other than his cheeks*
Yuuta: *holding his head in his hands*..I just always thought.. there really was better things to air!
Wakato: Well, compared to us getting dressed, yeah, I'm sure there was.
Wakato: *rubs his neck* Look, I can sympathize over potentially embarrassing footage, believe me. But if that's the most incriminating thing he could have on you, I mean, is it worth getting that upset over? Your brother's seen you getting dressed before, right?
Yuuta: *shrieking in abject horror* Not since puberty!!!!! Not... OH GOD! For Valentine's Day I wore....
Yuuta: *taking huge lung-fulls of air, not even realizing he is speaking aloud in his desire to reassure himself*..But Hiroshi-san said Masaharu-san likes me.. and he has helped me and he.. he.. can keep secrets.. *shuts his eyes*
Wakato: *debates for a moment, since doing what he's thinking of doing could easily freak Yuuta out, given the evening they've had so far*
Wakato: *finally heaves a tiny sigh and carefully crosses over to the other couch, sits down beside Yuuta, and tentatively puts a hand on his back*
Wakato: *soothingly* Easy, easy...
Wakato: If anybody would know what he's talking about when it comes to Niou, it'd be Yagyuu, right?
Wakato: *thinks to himself that if Yagyuu DOESN'T know what he's talking about, then Wakato himself might be pretty fucked down the road, but Yuuta doesn't need to hear that*
Yuuta: *rocking a bit as he takes several more wheezing breaths still not really conscious of Wakato's change in position*..Yes. I... but I hadn't thought when Hiroshi-san said that that...Masaharu-san did things with the footage!
Yuuta: *turning and looking at Wakato earnestly* Do you think if I promised to baby sit Kirihara-san, he'd.. he'd promise to never share anything with Aniki.. Oh god those pictures!
Yuuta: *burying his face in his hands* You forget.. about the cameras when you're with your boyfriend... and I had such plans for White Day! *takes another shaky breath*..I feel so stupid. I'd always thought.. everything was O.K.
Wakato: *rubs Yuuta's back* Somehow, I don't think he'd inflict Kirihara on you, Yuuta-kun. I don't think anybody has the heart -- or lack thereof -- to do that. And I say that after we've been screaming at each other pretty much constantly since we've been here, so that should tell you something.
Wakato: But if you're that worried about it, why not, you know, mention it to him?
Wakato: *doing a passably good Yuuta impression* "Anou, Masaharu-san...you...you know how special...*has to think for a second -- how does Yuuta refer to Yagyuu? Oh, right!* ...how special Hiroshi-san is to me...I'd be so embarassed if anyone ever saw us being... *blushes and traces circles on the couch with his finger* intimate... Especially Aniki..."
Wakato: *returns to normal* Like that.
Yuuta: *nods closing his eyes and thanking whatever god was present that there were no cameras involved that night he had sex with Niou, well other than the one Niou was taking photos with, but no other cameras*..do you really think he would consider? *a small amount of color returning to the rest of his face not making his skin look such and unnatural hue*..Masaharu-san did say he wanted us to be together... and he.. when I overreacted he tried to.. get me to calm down and then Hiroshi-san found me... and everything was OK.
Yuuta: *hanging his head and blushing a little feeling bad for being so mean to Wakato now*.. I'm sorry. For yelling at you, Wakato-san.. I just.. *small voice*... I do care about Akira-kun and Keigo.. and I so want them both to be happy.. *brows wrinkling as he bites his lip*..but I don't know how.. they both like you... and only one ought to be with you.. and everyone deserves to be happy and to find someone who makes them so.. don't you think?
Yuuta: *tilting his head and looking at Wakato*..Kirihara-san isn't so bad... just don't drink anything he gives you. *blushes*...or I guess anyone on Rikkai.. *waving his hands in denial* Except Hiroshi-san!! I'd drink anything he offered to me! He likes watching movies.
Wakato: *cocks his head* Yagyuu? Oh, oh -- Kirihara! Right. I heard that, about the videos. Hmm. Well, glad to get it confirmed. *removes his hand from Yuuta's back and puts them on his (own) thighs* Anyway, talk to Niou about it. He hasn't done ME wrong as far as the stuff I asked him to take out. *mentally adds "so far."
Wakato: As to the other thing...I already know which of them I'm going to be with, and I think you know, too, Yuuta-kun.
Wakato: Anyway, Atobe shouldn't be wasting his time on me. *snorts derisively* He can do better, right? Like some princess somewhere, or a marquise, or...is the next in line to be emperor single, do you know?
Wakato: *has a brief flash of Keigo talking about the marriage his mother was supposed to have and skipped out on to marry Keigo's dad, but pushes it out of mind*
Yuuta: *laughs a little sheepishly*..yes, but he wants you.. so.. please.. I... please be careful and don't hurt him. *eyes look tired and with a hint of fear but still serious*..I know you.. don't always think he has feelings, but Keigo does... he's just.. he has a bit of an attitude sometimes.. and he's not as good at reading other people as he thinks he is.. *sad smile* ..or at least he was not with me.
Yuuta: Kirihara-san loves Disney movies and I know he liked karaoke.. *pursing his lips in thought* Hiroshi-san said the team use to go out together sometimes. And ummm Kirihara-san.. he if you seem unsure.. he.. *blushes*..he seems more.. *trying to think of word other than dangerous as he doesn't want to be rude*..ummm..exuberant.
Yuuta: *eying Wakato* I guess I ought to ask Masaharu-san to erase Keigo talking to me.. about what happened with you, when I ask him about the footage. *pursing his lips*..or.. I will.. if you promise to try not to hurt Keigo any more so.
Wakato: *rubs his temples* Yuuta-kun, we are gonna have words, OK? And it's gonna get a little heated, because everything else aside, he made me a promise, and I did things based on that promise that I might not have done otherwise. Sort of the way you might have acted differently if you'd known about Niou and the footage, yes? *slight grin*
Wakato: *grin fades* I trusted him, and he screwed me over, big time. So I don't know if I can promise you any more than we won't be having sex again, and I won't lead him on.
Yuuta: *wanly*..I don't think it was on purpose, Wakato-san.. he's just... he's very unhappy. Perhaps you're right and it is partially my fault.. for breaking up with him. *miserable expression* ..but Keigo is not the most faithful of people... and I couldn't be with him.. because I didn't love him. And he.. he thought he knew what was best for me..and I like making decisions on my own... even bad ones. And he wasn't really there for me... not when I was scared. *keeping a steady gaze on Wakato*..but he is a nice person.. and even if you're upset with him now.. he does have feelings..and it's... it's horrible to trample all over those.
Yuuta: *laughing mirthlessly* I wish I could say I'd have done things different.. but I.. I somehow doubt it. Masaharu-san can be very charming... and I wouldn't give up what I have with Hiroshi-san for anything.. Sometimes.. I think I started to fall in love with him right from the start.. I just didn't know, consciously.
Wakato: *thinks about what Yuuta's just said and the freaking out over the possibility of incriminating footage; eyebrows go up, and before he can stop himself* You and Niou?
Yuuta: *turning a crimson color realizing only too late he probably said a bit too much, trying to back pedal by saying the truth without admitting too much*..Masaharu-san convinced me to.. give Keigo some pictures.. for Christmas.. and they're.. *red*..they're not something I would want other people to see.
Yuuta: Hiroshi-san knows though.
Wakato: *kind of sad that it wasn't actually the two of them together, since he'd get a certain satisfaction out of Yuuta admitting to an "affair" of his own, but still smirks a bit* Yeah...I suspect the pictures of me and the pictures he took of you were pretty similar...
Wakato: I would appreciate it if you could included that footage of you and Atobe talking with whatever you want to see stricken from the record, though. Or even just, you know, soften Niou up a little for me, so that if he still wants a favor, I at least don't get stuck with Kirihara twice. I think I can make it through the first time with all my fingers, but I'd hate to press my luck, you know?
Yuuta: *nods his head glad to have gotten off without admitting to the actual affair, through technically since he and Keigo were not exclusive, it wasn't cheating*..Did Masaharu-san take those sorts of..pictures *blushing red* of you too then? I gave one to Keigo... and Hiroshi-san... But I wasn't dating Hiroshi-san then.. or well we were but we'd not realized it yet.
Yuuta: *sucking on his lip thoughtfully*..I will but please promise no matter how angry you are with Keigo you will remember he has feelings too. Please? I... *red* I'd not realized he made any promises to you.. he didn't tell me that... just how he felt. And I.. even if he could do better, he does like you Wakato-san. I think even he doesn't realize how much.
Yuuta: *attempting to be comforting, gives Wakato a small smile* ..perhaps Masaharu-san can come up with an easier request for you if he still demands one. He once just asked me to make him Yakiniku as a thank you..
Wakato: *does in fact remember Keigo pointing that out to him several times that evening, but the memory that sticks with him, that plays like an endless loop in his mind, is the two in the elevator, Wakato telling Keigo, "Whatever happens in that room stays between us," and Keigo replying, "I wouldn't do that to you;" his fist tightens as he thinks of it*
Wakato: *not showing any sign of what he's thinking -- is instead chuckling lightly* Yakiniku? Mmm...somehow, I don't think he'd like my yakiniku as much as yours, Yuuta-kun. Especially since my yakiniku would probably be bought at a combini and dumped into tupperware.
Yuuta: *not having any idea that Wakato has not taken his pleas for leniency for Keigo to heart, smiles a bit wider at both the compliment to his cooking and the image of needing to buy combini anything*..At least it would be better than Akira-kun's. He's an atrocious cook, I was a bit worried teaching him to melt chocolate in the microwave.
Yuuta: Masaharu-san didn't ask for anything in return for spending so much time trying to help me realize I liked Hiroshi-san.. So.. maybe if I asked nicely he really would be willing.. *burbling a little tone confidential* ..he said he was fond of me and not just because of my family. And came to visit me at Hyoutei when everyone hated me to make sure things had worked out with Hiroshi-san.
Wakato: *little amused hmph!* You're an easy person to BE willing for, Yuuta-kun. But I guess if Niou likes me even half as much as he does you, I can probably make it out of whatever he'd want me to do alive...
Wakato: *his face doesn't show that he's thinking of Keigo writhing under him at the hotel room, gorgeous and fuckable; of Kamio's hurt and angry face the last time he and Wakato broke up; of he and Kamio rolling around lazily in bed in New York, being happy and stupid together after saying the L-word for the first time; of Keigo's promise in he elevator...*
Yuuta: *having no idea Wakato's thoughts or even close to anywhere other than his concern over what task Niou might assign him next should Niou require that from Wakato, Keigo not being the only person not always good at reading people*..I'm.. sure he wasn't planning on having something bad happen to you with Kirihara-san! Hiroshi-san said Masaharu-san is a good person he just.. makes bad ideas seem good and.. and likes to be amused.
Yuuta: *honesty coloring his expression and his tone*..Kirihara-san has never done anything to hurt Masaharu-san the times we've all been together.. so perhaps Masaharu-san thought it would be an easy task for you. *smiles*
Wakato: *slightly doubtful but amused smirk* Mmm...let's hope so.
Wakato: *exhales a deep breath* Well, I think we've pretty much got things sorted out, yes? I'll have a talk with Atobe, you have one with Niou, and hopefully we both come out better for it.
Wakato: Ready to go, then? *grins* I know how much you've enjoyed our time here, but...
Yuuta: *smiling shyly* I umm have to hope so.. If I'm not willing to hope for the best with people then.. I.. wouldn't be me. Everyone deserves that chance.
Yuuta: Just please... Keigo does have feelings. *stand up and straightens his skirt* It was wrong of me earlier.. to forget you have them as well. but I was worried about two people who have always tried to be there for me... even when they failed. So, I.. I have to try for them. I will talk to Masaharu-san.
Yuuta: *nods his head and walks towards the door* ..I think so.. I prefer the actual apartment more, even with the cameras. *blushing* Hiroshi-san is there.
Wakato: *starts heading for the door as well; gets out his wallet and starts thumbing through the bills -- there should be enough to get them out of there, even if they've run a bit over time*
Wakato: And you know, if anybody asks where you were all this time, just be straight with them -- you were at a love hotel with Hiroshi-san. You don't have to tell them which one. *winks*
Wakato: *opens the door and steps aside to let Yuuta go ahead* Well, I guess Yagyuu might see through that, but...
