Chat Room Panic
Suguru Fujisaki sighed as he sat in his computer/dining chair. He really needed more furniture. He pushed the button on his computer monitor, and blinked as the bright light flared on the screen. Standing he flipped on the light switch then returned to his seat. His mouse hovered over the icon for the internet, but he sighed again and clicked his music transformer.
An hour and a slight headache later, Suguru had progressed little in his work. He needed to finish making this song so he could try it out on his synth. He growled under his breath. "Fine! I'll do it!"
Earlier that day, Shuichi had told him about this chat room he went to in order to 'relax' when he got home. He had said that the people there were very helpful with problems and relationships and stuff. And lately Suguru had been thinking a lot about a certain red-headed guitarist. Maybe, someone could give him help on how to catch Hiro's eye?
Filled with a sense of dread but determination, Suguru minimized his music ((not that there was anything there!)) and opened up his internet explorer. Shuichi had written the web address down on his hand so Suguru could not throw it away. Sometimes that guy was smarter than he looked or acted. His finger settled on the 'Enter' button but didn't press down. 'This is so retarded! There is no way anyone would be able to help me. As if there is another gay guy out there who went through the same thing I'm going through right now!' But against his better judgment, Suguru pushed down and the page popped up almost instantly. It was almost as if it had been waiting there for him to press 'Enter' so it could taunt him.
He sighed again, leaning in on the screen, and read the directions. 'Step One: Pick A Room…Um… Which room should I pick? Shuichi never told me this part! What if the people in the one I pick aren't helpful? Alright… I just need to calm down.' He sighed again. He really was starting to make a habit of that. 'Okay let's just pick the first one.'
And with that Suguru moved on to Step Two. This was of course, picking a name.
"Well, this one won't be so bad. Let's see…. "He rubbed his forehead, thinking. "I know! How about 'Keyboard-Prodigy'! No that's too corny. Um… SynthStar! No, that's no good either." Suguru resisted sighing and suddenly it came to him. "Synth-Sighs. Good enough for me!" (( I know. It's gay. -,-')) "Yes! On to Step Three!"
Step Three was of course the easiest step. 'Write a brief description about yourself and what you enjoy doing... I can do that. Should be fast.' And since Suguru was a keyboardist for Bad Luck, his typing skills were very advanced. He finished that part very fast. 'And now time to chat!'
Entering his chosen chat room, Suguru inspected the names of the other people in there. He saw Shuichi's name and laughed. It wasn't exactly hard to figure out… 'Writer'sPinkLover.' Suguru couldn't help but laugh. Then another name caught his eye. 'Guitar-Hero'. It couldn't be…Hiro? 'Why would Hiro be in an online chat room? I mean… It's not as if Hiro needs advice on relationships! Does he?'
A second later, he received a private message from Shuichi.
Writer'sPinkLover: Hey! Are you Suguru?
Suguru laughed again, wondering if Shuichi had done that to every person who had come into the chat room.
Synth-Sighs: What do you think? Who else plays a synth that you know?
He waited for the reply. Twiddling his thumbs, he went back to the main room and saw that 'Guitar-Hero' was still signed on and didn't seem to be taking to anyone. Well. That wasn't like Hiro. He would have been talking to everyone and giving out advice. Hiro was nice like that. Suguru jumped as the private message popped back up.
Writer'sPinkLover: Well, you could be Seguchi-sama… but I don't think that he would enjoy a chat room so much, so… You are Suguru!
Synth-Sighs: Yes, I am.
Writer'sPinkLover: Yea. I didn't know if you would actually come on. Hold on a second!
Synth-Sighs: Okay, Shuichi.
Suguru waited for the little ball of energy to come back, but was surprised instead by a private message form 'Guitar-Hero'.
Guitar-Hero: Hey. You seem quiet.
Well… that's a weird way to PM ((private message if you didn't get that -,-')) someone you don't even know.
Synth-Sighs: I'm just here for my friend. Said it was cool place to 'unwind.' Although, you don't seem to be talking that much either.
Guitar-Hero: Well. I'm always giving advice. Figured I'd just check out what other people do to help friend. Pick up a few tips, you know? So, who's your friend?
Suguru thought fast, not wanting to have this guy bombard Shuichi with weird questions about 'Synth-Sighs'. Maybe he was just being paranoid, but...
Synth-Sighs: Well… um, he's not on right now. But, do you play a guitar or do you just like the game? Never played it myself, but I have a friend who plays it. The actual guitar, I mean.
This guy was kind of weird in a way but Suguru couldn't say why. He just got chills every time he looked at the chat-name. He saw Shuichi's name disappear from the chat room and sighed. When he realized what he'd done, he growled. 'Great! Now I'm sighing again! This is just great!'
The message from 'Guitar-Hero popped up again, and Suguru was about to close down the chat, but it caught his eye.
Guitar-Hero: Yeah, I play too. Do you play the synth? I have a band mate who's amazing at playing the synth. He's real young. Kind of cute, too.
Suguru froze. He actually froze. The calm and collected 17 year old, master synth player of Bad Luck, nearly fainted form shock. Okay… Now that was just weird. What were the chances of talking to guy who plays the guitar in a band that has a young, masterful player of the synth in it? Pretty much zero. He found his fingers had moved without his mind's knowing, and his hand hovered over the 'Enter' button. He was coming to a point of strong dislike with that button.
Before his eyes could even read what he had wrote, he pressed down. Slowly, his eyes followed the words up to the main box. Scanning what he had just typed he nearly fainted.
Synth-Sighs: Really? What a coincidence. I play for a band with a guitarist in it, and I
happen to think that he is amazingly gorgeous.
'Oh my god! You idiot!' He screamed at himself mentally. 'What if that really is Hiro? No doubt, this is one of Shuichi's many attempts at getting me to share my feelings to Hiro. And now look what you've gone and done! Exactly what he wanted!' Suguru's mind slowly started to pick up the reason why the pink-haired abomination had gotten out of the chat. To escape Suguru's wrath… until tomorrow in work at least.
Again, he sighed. He was having a rough day. And it was about to get worse. The PM appeared again, bearing with it the last thing Suguru wanted to see.
Guitar-Hero: Do you really, Suguru? Why, thanks.
A/N: Thanks for reading. Next chapter won't be too long of a wait. I just have to figure out how best to torment poor Suguru tomorrow at work.
Review please. It makes me extra happy!
