The van jumped when the right tire hit a bump and it woke the honey blonde sitting in the front seat. He groaned as he rubbed his head from the impact it made against the window. He glared at the driver and was about to shout at him, but then he saw how tired the blonde was.

"Rei, you ok?"Uruha asked.

"Mmm?" The bassist turned his head and looked at his friend with red eyes.

"Do you want me to drive for a while so you can rest?"

"Nah, I think we're almost there."

The guitarist shook his head and looked in the back to see the others soundly sleeping. They had taken turns driving throughout the night and they were all very tired. It had been a long, stressful week. They had two interviews in two different cities, six meetings about the new single, practice every day, and now a photo shoot in a spot that's an eighteen hour drive from their city. Sakai said it would be cheaper for them to drive too, rather than fly the six of them and wait for the staff to get there. Kai was the first to drive, and now it's Reita's turn. The honey blonde sighed as he came back to the present and saw how close Ruki was to Kai. The vocalist was sleeping on the brunette's shoulder and they were holding hands. It made the guitarist miss his boyfriend. Here lately him and the honey blonde hadn't had any time for themselves, so he hasn't seen much of the black haired man. He turned to find the van veering to the right and turned to see Reita closing his eyes.

"Rei!" He yelled, shaking his friend with one hand and grabbing the 'oh shit' handle with his other. The blonde's eyes shot open and he straightened up.

"Sorry." He mumbled.

"Pull over. I'll drive the rest of the way." A new voice joined in. The honey blonde turned to see Aoi leaning on the driver's seat.

"I'm fine." Reita protested.

"You almost ran off the road. Now pull over." The raven ordered. The bassist sighed as he pulled off to the side and he watched as the two vans in front of them pulled off to the side as well. Aoi quickly slid his door open and got out as Reita slowly stepped out as well. As the blonde took a step though, his knee gave out and he started falling forward. Luckily the raven wrapped his arms around the other's torso, catching him.

"Sorry." Reita mumbled, keeping his head on the guitarist's shoulder.

"You ok?" Uruha asked.

"…fine."

The honey blonde raised an eyebrow, but Aoi gave him a reassuring look, so he looked back at the windshield. The raven rubbed the other's back, then the bassist started to slowly raise up and rubbed his cheek against Aoi's, making him blush.

"Come on." The guitarist said, turning so the blonde couldn't see his red face. Reita slumped in the backseat and his eyes closed as his breathing got deeper.

"Is everything ok?" Sakai asked, walking to them.

"Yeah. He just got too tired."

"I noticed. I thought you guys were going to drive off the road a few minutes ago. You guys can rest later when we get done."

Aoi shook his head and watched as the manager started walking back, then leaned in to buckle Reita back up. When he raised up, he stared at the sleeping man's face, then he glanced at the couple to see them still asleep, then at Uruha to see him looking out the window. The honey blonde looked back at the same moment Aoi kissed Reita on the lips. The honey blonde gasped, catching the raven's attention and the older guitarist turned pale.

"Aoi?" He whispered.

The raven quickly removed himself from the bassist and closed the door, then got into the driver's seat.

"It's—"

"Please don't." Aoi whispered. "Not now."

The honey blonde shook his head as the other started the van back up.

"Wake up!" Uruha shouted, getting out of the van. Groans could be heard as the couple in the back seat woke up. They yawned as they stepped out and stretched, then they giggled when they saw Reita still sleeping. Kai crawled back in and shook the blonde a little.

"Wake up."

The bassist moaned, but kept his eyes shut and he started breathing deeply again. Aoi opened the door beside the blonde and shook him some more.

"Come on Rei, wake up."

Reita breathed out as he opened his eyes. "I'm up."

"Let's hurry up and get this over with." Ruki yawned.

Kai crawled back out and took the singer's hand as the blonde stepped out and stretched. They looked up at the place where their photo shoot will be taking place. An old, two story manor made of bricks and it had ivy growing up the front of it. They followed their manager inside, where the staff had already started setting up and dragged them away to get them ready. Aoi was figuring out his shirt when he spotted their bassist wearing only boxers. The raven swallowed hard as he felt himself turn red, but he turned away, finished getting his top on, grabbed his cigarettes, and ran out of the room. He stood on the front porch, lighting a cigarette and looked at the still rising sun.

"You're not doing a good job of hiding the crush you have on him."

The guitarist turned and saw Uruha standing there with a smile. The honey blonde walked up beside him, lighting his own cancer stick and sighed.

"So why don't you go for it?"

Aoi glanced at him, then back at the sky. "He's straight remember?"

"Mmm, I don't know." Uruha giggled.

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

"I'm his best friend, of course there's something I'm not telling you."

The raven glared at him. "Don't fuck with me Uru. You have no idea how much it hurts to see the guy you love so close yet so far."

"No, but I do miss my man."

"Eh? Who?"

The honey blonde giggled again. "I'll tell you guys soon I promise. Now when are you going to confess to that man candy in there?"

Aoi turned red. "How can you call your best friend that?"

"I just can. Now you need to hurry up and confess because all the blushing you two do around each other is driving me crazy. Actually, Kai and Ruki are getting impatient too."

"W-we don't do that."

"Oh? Explain earlier when you caught him from falling. Or a few days ago when Ruki tripped him. When he fell on the floor and you fell on top of him, your faces turned darker than blood red. Or when we were all changing for the last interview and I pulled his boxers down, giving you the perfect view of that fine ass of his. Or when—"

"I get it!"

Uruha smiled. "So confess already."

"But he's straight."

"Well, I for one has never heard him say that he was straight or gay."

"Yeah well normal people tend to think that they don't have to say they're straight."

"Question." The honey blonde said seriously. "Look at us. Do we fit the definition of normal?"

"Mmm…no."

"Thought so. Now are you going to confess?"

"Do I have a choice?" Aoi asked.

"Well, if you don't, then I'll ask him if he likes you."

The raven sighed. "Fine."

"Good, this is a good way to get you—"

Uruha was interrupted by screams and a loud crashing noise that shook the house. The guitarists looked at each other, then ran into the living room where the noise came from. They walked in to see a giant chandelier on the floor and broken glass all around it. Everyone was looking in one direction, where two bodies lay a few inches away from the chandelier, covered in glass.

"Don't move." Sakai ordered them. It wasn't hard for the guitarists to notice that it was Kai on top of Ruki, since Reita was carefully kneeling beside them. The blonde was helping Kai keep the singer calm until they could get out. Aoi and Uruha rushed over to help with whatever they could. After a few minutes, the two slowly started to get up and staff members started to carefully clean them up, then moved them away from the mess. Ruki was shaking, his face was pale, and he was breathing fast.

"Calm down Ru." Kai whispered softly. They sat down on some chairs in the dining hall, the drummer had the short blonde in his lap. The singer had his head in the brunette's neck and was hugged the other tightly.

"It's ok Ru." Reita spoke up. Aoi looked over to find his crush smiling at the younger, but he also noticed how the blonde's body shook. The guitarist figured it was from the lack of sleep, so he started talking to the singer too as the staff cleaned up the mess.

The blonde was finally calm, but still in his lover's lap, hugging him. Kai didn't mind since he was still shaken up from the near death experience. Uruha had stayed in there, rubbing Ruki's back as Aoi and Reita walked out to see the floor completely spotless.

"So…what happened?" Aoi asked.

The blonde sighed. "Ruki was goofing off, we all heard a loud snap, and then suddenly Kai tackled him to the ground just as the thing was about to land on him. I guess Kai was only one that saw it."

"Yeah." The raven mumbled. "Ar-are you ok?"

Reita raised an eyebrow. "Yeah."

"Good."

They became silent, both trying to find something to say, anything to break this awkward silence.

"Time for the shoot to start." Sakai said, walking in with the other three behind him.

"Are you ok Ru?" Reita asked.

The singer smiled. "I'm ok and ready to go. No dumb chandelier is going to stop me."

They all smiled and did a quick touch up before starting. First was Uruha, who did a magnificent job with his poses. He had a lot of energy. Then Kai was next, he had a little trouble concentrating, but he did a great job. Nobody complained because of what happened earlier. Next was Aoi, he did amazing, but he was getting distracted by a certain blonde. He kept stealing glances of the bassist. Then Reita stepped up and started, but then the photographer stopped.

"Yokino, put some more make-up under his eyes."

The other's watched as a young woman rushed over and started dapping foundation under the bassist's eyes to hide the bags. She quickly ran back and they started shooting again. Then it was Ruki, who surprised the hell out of everybody. He rocked every shot and had as much energy as Uruha. Then they continued outside.

It was a little past six when they were done, and the five members collapsed onto the couches in the living room. Ruki was snuggling up on the drummer, Uruha was texting his secret lover, Reita was severely struggling to keep his eyes open, and Aoi was stealing glances of the bassist again.

"Ok," Sakai said as he came in. "All your things are in your rooms, the kitchen has been stalked up and you guys should be good until we come back. There's a small store about ten miles down the road if you need anything."

"Alright." Kai said.

"I'll see you guys in a week, so enjoy the peacefulness."

"See ya." They all said. They listened to the sound of the cars leaving then Uruha sighed in relief.

"Finally."

"Seriously." Ruki agreed. "I've been waiting all week for this! Now I finally get some time with my boy toy!"

Kai had a short laugh before he pulled the other into a kiss. Aoi smiled and looked at the sleeping blonde on the other couch.

"Aoi." Uruha whispered. "Take him to his room."

The raven sighed, but got up and shook the bassist, waking him.

"Hmm?"

"Come on, let's get you into bed."

"K." Reita mumbled and with Aoi's help, he stood up. He leaned on the older so he wouldn't fall and the guitarist held him very close, especially when they started walking upstairs. When they were out of sight, Uruha slapped the love birds on the head.

"Ow!" Ruki shouted.

"Shh!" The honey blonde shushed him. "Aoi just took him upstairs."

Kai smiled. "I still think he can do it."

"I don't think he has the balls to." Ruki giggled.

"Then we'll give him some."Uruha stated. "By the time we leave, we'll have Aoi asking him out."

"Definitely." The drummer said.

"We will not fail." The singer giggled.

"One more thing, Ruki?"

"Hmm?"

"Exactly how many sleeping pills have you been slipping Reita?"

"Well, half one before we left, another half before he started driving, another half when we got here and two after the shoot. Why?"

Uruha slapped himself in the face. "Ru!"

"What?"

"No wonder he looks like shit. Ru, he was only supposed to be drowsy enough to catch Aoi's attention, not be so tired he could barely walk." Kai sighed. "You were supposed to give him half before we left and half during the shoot."

"Well, the shit wasn't working so I gave him more."

"Kai?"

"Yeah?"

"Remind me to never trust Ruki for drugging anyone again."

"I will."

The singer pouted.

Aoi was literally dragging the bassist down the hall and to his bed room. He gently laid Reita down, then went to the other side and pulled the covers down. He slid the blonde over and was going to cover him up, but there was a certain urge he couldn't resist. He started removing Reita's shirt, then pulled the blonde pants off, and sat on the edge of the bed, debating whether he risked peeking into the other's boxers or not. Then again, he already had the perfect view of the blonde's nicely toned body and he dared rub his hand down the man's torso.

"Mmm." Reita moaned and his eyes fluttered open. "Aoi?"

"Hey. Go to sleep ok." The guitarist whispered, covering the blonde up.

"K. A-Aoi?"

The raven heard a bit of fear in the other's voice. "What?"

Reita was mumbling his words and Aoi couldn't understand him, but he saw the fright in his friend's face. He leaned over and rubbed the blonde's cheek.

"Rest. I'll see you in the morning."

The bassist mumbled again, but the raven walked away then closed the door as he walked out. He walked back down to hear laughter between the three friends and saw them sitting on the couch watching tv. He walked past and plopped down on the chair.

"So?" Uruha sung.

The raven raised an eyebrow. "So what?"

"Did you confess?"

Kai and Ruki scooted closer and leaned forward with the honey blonde. Aoi felt his face turn red.

"W-why does it matter?"

"He didn't do it." Ruki whined as he sat back with a pouty face.

"Ah, give him some time." The drummer said hugging the little man.

The honey blonde just shook his head before looking at his band mate. "You better hurry or I'm going to tell him that you call out his name while you masturbate and have and that you want to fuck him so hard, that he can't walk."

Now Aoi's face, not just his cheeks, but his whole face was red.

"Leave him alone Uru." Kai said. "He needs time to grow his balls."

Ruki bursted out into laughter along with Kai, but Aoi just sunk in his chair, as Uruha got a text.

"Yipee!" A loud, girly sound came out of the honey blonde's mouth as he started jumping up and down. Kai and Ruki looked at each other, then at Aoi who just shrugged his shoulders. The happy guitarist looked at the three of them and waited…and waited.

The raven sighed. "What happened?"

"Yay! My boyfriend will be here tomorrow morning and you guys get to see who it is!"
