Chapter 6

Suguru and Hiro talked as they walked down the hallway of their hotel. "Hopefully tomorrow's concert goes well, I still remember what happen last show" Hiro said.

"I thought it was interesting, didn't you?"

Giving his band mate a look, Hiro asked, "Exactly what was so interesting about a pair of twins coming onto the stage and asking Shuichi and Ryuichi if they could have their children? It took five security guards to get them and a few other fans who were thinking the same thing off the stage."

"It just goes to show how popular we are and how dedicated some fans are. They're willing to go an extra mile for us."

"You mean a few extra miles, right? And what's scary is they looked serious about it too."

"Well, Sakuma's fan did look serious about it, not too sure about Shuichi's though. Damn, that means they're still more popular than us" Suguru said completely serious which astonished Hiro.

"You're joking right? Is that how you compare our band's popularity to theirs, by seeing whose fans are more serious about giving birth to one of our children?"

Rolling his eyes at Hiro's words, Suguru continued, "Oh come on, Hiro! It's obvious who has more fans and not only that but loyal and dedicated fans at that. We still have a long way to go but we're getting there."

Sighing in relief, Hiro thought about what Suguru said. "It is obvious, isn't it?"

"Like I said, we'll get there. When, I don't know but we will." Both of them continued to make their way to the conference room where they were supposed to meet up with the others so they could rehearse for tomorrow's concert.

"So how do you think the day's going to end?" Suguru spoke up after a few moments of silence.

"You want Tohma to catch them, no, you just want Tohma to see Tatsuha, right?" Hiro guessed right.

"Oh come on, you can't tell me you're not curious?"

"Well yeah, but for Tatsuha's sake I hope it doesn't happen. He doesn't need to deal with Tohma."

Raising an eyebrow at his band mate's concern, Suguru questioned, "Why are you so worried about Tatsuha? Something you want to tell me?"

Hiro blinked in confusion and answered, "What? Can't I be worried about a friend?"

"…you considered Tatsuha a friend?"

This time, Hiro rolled his eyes at a surprised Suguru. "Yes, I considered Tatsuha as a friend."

"Why?" a voice called from behind them. Both males turned to see their third band mate's boyfriend, Yuki, looking curious as hell. "Do you guys even talk to each other?"

"Yes, we talk. We even call each other on the phone sometimes, well, when Tatsuha's not busy anyway."

"And what do you guys talk about?" another voice added to the conversation, a voice that sound curious but it held a different curiosity compared to Yuki's.

Hiro wished Shuichi was there so he could hear Ryuichi's jealous voice. Shuichi didn't believe him when he told him about Ryuichi's jealously issues. He claimed Ryuichi didn't have a single jealous bone in his body but Hiro knew better. It wasn't often but he did see it in the older singer from time to time. "Just things, actually, most of the time it's about you or you" Hiro said pointing to Ryuichi then to Yuki which caused both of them to raise their eyebrow.

"And what does my little brother say about me?"

"Um, why don't you ask him?" Hiro blurted out without really thinking about it. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Suguru enjoying himself. 'How did I get stuck with a sadistic band mate?' Hiro silently asked himself.

"I'm asking you, not him."

Hiro debated for six whole seconds on whether or not to answer the blonde. His decision, "Well, he likes to ask how Shuichi's doing and how's work coming along."

"And what does that have to do with me exactly?"

"Um, you know, you really should ask him and not me because I'm not sure he wants you knowing how much he really cares about you." Right when those words left his mouth, Hiro knew he dug himself a deep hole. A hole Tatsuha was going to fill up with him at the bottom.

Before Yuki could ask Hiro what he meant by that, Suguru spoke up first. "They're brothers, of course their going to care about each other. It's him and Shuichi that's questionable when it comes to caring for one another."

"Well, that's not how Tatsuha's see it." Again, Hiro felt himself go deeper inside the hole.

"Oh, how does he see it then?" Yuki asked with Ryuichi standing next to him, just waiting to hear about his boyfriend's thoughts.

Hiro wondered how fast he could run but decided against it. It would probably hurt less if he just told them versus them catching and beating him up for running. Oh, he so hoped Tatsuha would forgive him for this. "Tatsuha thinks as long as Shuichi's okay, then you're okay. He also likes to know when you two have a fight so he can talk to Shuichi. He's the one who usually calms Shuichi down and has him thinking rationally again, well, as rationally as Shuichi can think anyway."

Hiro paused to look at Yuki's face and was surprised to see how the blonde's face had soften up a bit but when he turned to look at Ryuichi's, he was even more surprised. He thought Ryuichi would be jealous or something, not at ease. Maybe he already knew how Tatsuha felt about his brother. 'Of course he does! Tatsuha is after all his boyfriend. I wondered if Tatsuha tells him what he tells me…' Hiro thought, almost bitterly.

"Hey, do you think we can hire him to help us out with Shuichi? Maybe he can get the feather brain to work and I mean actually work instead of mopping around being a bump in the studio?"

"I am not a bump! Or a feather brain for your information Suguru!"

"Really, I can't tell sometimes" replied the blonde man.

"Yuki! You don't mean that, do you? Cause if you do, that's just mean and rude and heartless! But that's okay because deep down inside I know you love me! After all, you're here with me, right?"

"I'm only here because it was free and I needed a break from writing. But think whatever you want, you do it anyway." Yuki wondered if the hotel carried ear plugs or if he had to go out and buy some for himself because he desperately needed some. Like right now would have been good to have some ear plugs. Ignoring his crying boyfriend, Yuki turned his attention to Hiro. "So you two are buddies, huh?"

"Well yeah, I don't see anything wrong with being friends with Tatsuha. He's cool to hang out with. Although I can do without him teasing me about my hair" Hiro said, running a hand through his red hair and reminding himself to go and get a trim later when he found the time.

Always one to be curious even when he really shouldn't be at times, Suguru asked "Really, what does he say?"

Making a disturbing face, Hiro answered "I should perm it."

"...you know he's probably fucking with you, right?"

"Yeah, I figure as much when he recommend putting ribbons in my hair. I think it has to do when I pissed him off that one time a while back."

"What did you do? And you probably would look oh-so pretty with ribbons in your hair, just letting you know. Oh, I could get Kumagoro to help you if you like" Ryuichi innocently asked.

Hiro had to wonder if he was the only one who saw past Ryuichi's 'innocent' statement and knew something was lurking behind those words. What did he do this time? He had no clue. Well, maybe it had something to do with the fact he did mention about pissing Tatsuha off so Ryuichi had a reason to be somewhat be antsy with him but still! "Um, well I made a very innocent observation about something and he took it completely out of proportion."

"The only thing that Tatsuha ever blows out of proportion or goes into great exaggeration is when it comes to him" Yuki pointed his finger to Ryuichi who titled his head with blinking eyes. "So what did you say about him that got Tatsuha ripping your head off or wanting to put ribbons on it?"

Before Hiro could ask Yuki how he knew it involved Ryuichi, his band mate decided to help him out...for the worst. "Oh, is that when we were walking and we just so happen to see Ryuichi outside the window and you said that he must be having a bad hair day which Tatsuha quickly said Ryuichi never has a bad hair day and that his hair is always sexy and perfect and that you should worry about your own hair because it looks like...well, I don't want repeat the word Tatsuha used to describe your hair but I think we all know what Tatsuha was leading to. Was that it?" Shuichi chirpily asked a pain stricken Hiro who wished his best friend would learn when to talk and when not to talk. Seriously.

"Yeah, I think that was it or something like it" Hiro said feeling very uneasily and annoyed when he saw Yuki snicker. "It's not funny, he practically give me a three hour lecture on how awesome Ryuichi Sakuma is and that I'm going to burn in the deepest depths of hell for missing it." Sighing, Hiro continued, "Ugh, I can still hear his ranting in my head."

"Wow, sucks for you. So what are you going to do in hell, the deepest depths of hell that is?" Suguru asked.

"Braid ribbons into his hair of course!" an overly happy Ryuichi said.

"Of course," Yuki smirked at Hiro's pain, "Hey, you should be glad it was only a three hour lecture. It could have been worst."

"Yeah, well...ever since then he likes to point out whenever I have a bad hair day and makes up some of the weirdest suggestions ever to cure it."

"I do not" a voice said from behind them. They all turned around to see Tatsuha walking towards them with a doughnut in one hand and a bottle of orange juice in the other. Once he caught up to them, he wordlessly handed over the doughnut to his older brother who took it without hesitation. He then produced to give the bottle a slight shake before opening it and handing it to his boyfriend who smiled and said a quick "Thank you" before he took a big sip.

Feeling left out, Shuichi complained, "What about me? Don't I get anything?"

Digging into his pocket, Tatsuha fished out a bag of small shortbread cookies and handed them to the happy looking singer who tore right into them.

"I was kind of hoping you'll give him a brain but I guess a few moments of silence is better than nothing" Yuki commented as he took another bite of his doughnut.

"You're welcome and as for you two" Tatsuha pointed to Hiro and Suguru and shrugged his shoulder. "Hell if I know what you like, Suguru and I'm not going to waste my time on it. As for you Hiro, well, you got lucked out. Sorry dude."

Suguru felt like he should have been offended but he wasn't. He always felt it was better to receive nothing then crap or maybe that was just him. Hiro just nodded his head as he watched Ryuichi intertwine his fingers with Tatsuha's. "Don't worry about it, Suguru and I was just on our way to the lobby to have a snack anyway."

"Oh really? I was making my way over there for some breakfast which reminds me, this hotel is really shit big! I got lost and was about to call you, honey, when I ran into a maid working. She's the one who give me those freebies and told me where to go. The nicest old woman you'll ever meant, I swear" with that, Tatsuha started walking with Ryuichi closely behind him.

"Breakfast? Sorry to tell you but breakfast time already past, it's noon. Besides what are you doing eating breakfast so late?" Suguru questioned the other man.

"Oh wow, I always thought you were the smart one Suguru. I guess I was wrong. Well, if you really want to know then-" Something about the way Tatsuha's eyes lit up and the way his mouth curved up set some alerts off in Suguru's head.

"NO! Er, I mean no thank you. I think I got the picture...unfortunately" Suguru said as if he bit into a lemon, a very sour lemon and he just hated lemons to begin with.

"You sure? Cause if you're curious t-"

"I think we all got the idea, no matter how unfortunate and horrible it is. And I could use some breakfast myself."

"Now that picture is horrible! Do I look I need to know that, bro? Are you trying to dramatize me? Cause I think you are" Tatsuha hugged his honey close to himself and said, "Hold me, honey! Make the bad images go away!" Ryuichi put an arm around Tatsuha's waist and rubbed his cheek against the raven's, knowing his younger boyfriend loved when he did that with him.

"How come we never do that, Yuki! It looks cute and fun!"

"Exactly, because it looks cute and fun I don't want to do that. Besides, I would rather do other things" Yuki smirked when he looked at his younger brother who stuck out his tongue in a childish matter.

"You're disgusting, bro."

"So are you, Tatsuha. Just a few seconds ago you were going to dramatize ME and you didn't seem to care. Does it look like I want to know what goes on behind closed doors when it involves you? No, thank you."

Smiling with a hint of playfulness, Tatsuha replied, "I'm hurt, Suguru. Seriously hurt here. How can you not care about me and my activities?"

"Easy, there too X-rated for me or for anyone else to listen to. I think a porno video would be more tamed then what you would have to say. And I'm glad you find this funny Tatsuha" Suguru said as he watched Tatsuha laugh to the point where tears were starting to form at the corner of his eyes.

Shuichi didn't really see what was so funny but he did agree with Suguru's analysis about Tatsuha's activities because it was probably true. Hiro so badly wanted to tell Suguru how right he was because Tatsuha never skipped over details and Hiro seriously wish he would. Yuki blinked and tried to push any images that popped into his head about someone way older screwing his baby brother and it being compared to a porno. For the most part, Ryuichi just smiled and looked thoughtful about the comparison.

"What is so funny? I would like to be on the joke here because I can always use a good laugh" a voice said from behind.

A few heads turned to see it was Bad Luck's manger walking towards them who was giving Tatsuha a weird look.

"Oh, Tatsuha just thinks it's funny that his nightly activities are being compared to a porno video which surprisingly enough the porno video is cleaner of the two." After a few seconds to think over that statement, Suguru corrected himself. "Well, actually I'm not surprised, none of us should be surprised and Tatsuha, your face is turning really red there."

K arched an eyebrow at Suguru and briefly wondering if he was better off out of the loop here. He shifted his glaze and watched Ryuichi pat Tatsuha's back while offering a bottle of orange to him to drink so that he could clam down. "I see that he was the only one who found it funny. You have a weird sense of humor kid."

"I don't think he has a weird sense of humor. I'll call it an interesting sense of humor if anything" Ryuichi replied defensively as he continued to rub Tatsuha's back. After a few moments, Tatsuha clam down and wasn't looking so red anymore.

"He doesn't have a weird or an interesting sense of humor, the correct word is a dementing sense of humor which goes perfectly well with his dementing soul."

"Hey, takes one to know one bro."

"I know and I'm fine with that."

"You shouldn't be fine with that Yuki!"

"Are we still heading to the lobby?"

"I think so…."

"I don't know who I should point my gun to here."
