If youre reading this for the first time, if you want to id suggest perhaps skipping to chapter 8 and read from there onwards. That is because i feel like from there on the writing quality is better and characters a slight bit less icky while you dont miss out too much on the other plot.
Eitehr way, enjoy yourself ;) and thank you for visiting !
It was about ten minutes past nine now and Ren has finally found the moment to sit down and catch a breath at home on his barely used sofa in his apartment. Spending his birthday evening alone like every other year now. He was holding a cold glass filled with Jack Daniels which he pressed against his forehead. For now he was on the no plan, plan for tonight and if he could only bring himself to concentrate enough to work on script lines he would. But Kyoko seemed to penetrate his mind permanently now. He grinned at the memory of a heart broken and ashamed Kyoko from earlier on. She got his birthday date wrong and mistakenly thought it was next week. This didn't bother him much; just seeing her today was something worth treasuring for him. Evenly more importantly the thought of her caring about it- caring about him and going through the trouble of ordering a present for him made him very happy.
Even though he wouldn't be getting the present until valentines day. "I wonder whether she'll give me any chocolates?…" he asked himself. Willingly took another sip from his now almost empty glass and then leaned forward to grab the bottle and re-fill his glass with the honey gold liquid.
A chartered jet plane just landed from L.A via. Rome on the private concrete of a special hidden away from the paparazzi airport that belonged to the president LME. Just a couple seconds later a black sleek Mercedes pulled up near it and a red carpet rolled out by one of the staff presented itself in front of the jet exit. A pair of stairs was brought about by another orange dressed man and the jet door opened. Then a blond handsome man wearing sunglasses- at night - stepped out and made his way down the stairs. He was wearing a designer suit probably an Armani, holding a coat in one of his hands and munching on a pack of crisps which totally didn't fit with the rest of the image. A black figure ran past and opened the car door for him and he gracefully got in. " Long time no see Kuu, I never even dreamt of having you call me up so urgently and then showing up in Japan," said a man dressed in some sort of an Asian robe which was covered in many tiny, shiny gems and hand stitched golden threats. One of his dark curls settled on his forehead. The car began to move.
" What's the surprise for? Don't tell me you're planning to show up for his birthday?"
Kuu's face seemed to wonder off as if he got dragged away into his own thoughts and he was now literally shoving handfuls of cheese flavoured puffs into his mouth. " No of course not. That would be silly!" he laughed at himself through all the half digested puffs in his mouth.
"He's a very busy man, now trying to lead his own life in his way. -So no, actually I decided to do a commercial job for some phone brand and maybe visit my other son Kyoko while I'm here," He giggled to himself again. Lory's face quiet confused and focused on trying to figure out what Kuu was really planning behind his visit. "Though, now that I am here. It's his birthday as well. I guess we could pay him a visit you know. The sad idiot is probably getting drenched on something alone. You know, you're like his mentor after all, so it wouldn't hurt you to visit him on his birthday and I could just anonymously tag along with you as your friend," Kuu now stopped munching on his orange crisps and turned his face around to look for some hope in Lory's eyes. Their Mercedes was driving pretty fast past the other cars on a motor way to Tokyo. " Kuu, you really must be a crazy man. I don't think he would be too happy if we just randomly showed up at his doorstep with a bottle of sake and a birthday cake," he replied leaning on the window and waving his left hand about disapprovingly. 'Crap, I knew he wouldn't let in that easily,' thought Kuu.
" But maybe, just maybe we could…ehmmm…somehow..." muttered Lory, a bit more cheerfully now and Kuu's hopes returned once more.
