Yoji pulled the sheets up to his chest, turning his face to the brunette boy beside him. "Natsuo, I love you. And real love is all about keeping the person you care for-" He paused for a second, then turned his face to the camera, not bothering to hide his smile, "Wait, what was it again?"

The director wearily repeated the line for the eleventh time that morning. "Safe. Because real love is about keeping the person you care for safe."

Natsuo let out a short laugh, "But of course you wouldn't know that, Yoji."

Yoji smirked playfully and inched closer to the laughing brunette. "Say one more thing like that and I really will take your ears."

The director cleared his throat.

Yoji took his place again. But not without the use of a few choice phrases.

"We're on in 3, 2, 1-"

Yoji pulled the sheets up to his chest, turning his face to the brunette boy beside him. "Natsuo, I love you. And real love is all about keeping the person you care for safe." That's when Yoji whipped out the box. "Shisikai condoms. Real protection for… real lovers?" Yoji threw back his head and howled. "My god, you guys need to get yourself a better slogan."

The director shook his head and groaned.

Yoji smiled unapologetically and returned to the starting position.

"We're on in 3, 2, 1-"

Yoji pulled the sheets up to his chest, turning his face to the brunette boy beside him. "Natsuo, I love you. And real love is all about keeping the person you care for safe," whipping out the box with exaggerated flair he continued, "Shisikai condoms. Real protection- for a real fucking." Natsuo and Yoji both all but fell off the bed laughing.

"Listen, if you two can't take this seriously-"

Natsuo paid no heed. "Real protection, for real men like Mr. Director here who's probably still waiting to grow some hair on his…"

"IF YOU TWO DO NOT KNOCK IT OFF, YOU'RE FIRED."

The two boys whined in protest and then finally returned to their starting positions.

"We're on in 3, 2, 1-"

Just before the camera started, the two boys exchanged a quick look.

The director really should've seen this coming.

Yoji pulled the sheets up to his chest, turning his face to the brunette boy beside him. "Natsuo, I love you. And real love is all about keeping the person you care for-" at this, he turned his head toward the camera and smiled devilishly, "ah, fuck it. Come over here and take it up the ass like a man!" Yoji tackled Natsuo down onto the bed.

"DON'T MAKE ME FIRE YOU!"

Yoji took a moment to raise his hands in feigned innocence. "Ah, but we're not making you do anything."

Natsuo's voice came from somewhere underneath Yoji. "He's right, if anyone's making anyone do anything it's Yoji. If someone doesn't stop him soon…" He laughed. "Too late."

"I AM WARNING YOU!"

The two boys froze. Slowly, they turned to face the director, their eyes staring back into his with a look that could hardly be misinterpreted.

Natsuo's eyes seemed to have grown unnaturally wide as he began to laugh. "Do you hear that Yoji?" There was something about his laugh that the director wasn't so sure he liked.

"I hear Natuso." Yoji could barely get his words out, he was laughing so hard. "Mr. Director here is…" He had to take a few breaths to continue on, "he's warning us."

The two boy's impish laughter grew even louder.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Natsuo?"

The two boys stopped for a moment, an unbreakable silence seemed to envelop the room as they stared wordlessly into each other's eyes. Yoji's eyes gleamed. Natsuo smiled. "Mr. Director is jealous!" They said in unison, before erupting in more disarming laughter, this time even louder than before. If that was possible.

"Oh, don't be that way Director-san." Laughed Yoji.

"Yeah, it doesn't have to be that way." Natsuo did his part, as usual.

"Natsuo's right. Just because you can't get any…"

"That's right. Just because you still have your ears…"

"Just because you're an old man-"

Natsuo cut in. "Actually, at first glance, I thought he was an old woman."

The cameraman seemed to find this last comment particularly funny.

"So, as you can see, director, you've got no reason to be jealous."

"No, none at all."

"Director-san, I'll tell you what. If you stop being annoying right now, we might just let you come up here and see what a real man looks like."

The director's face was as red as a tomato.

"THAT'S IT! YOU'RE FIRED!"

This was one of those rare occasions where Yoji actually stopped what he was doing for once and took the time to actually look the person he was talking to straight in the eye. This was never a good sign. "If it's really safety this company cares about…"

Natsuo finished his partner's statement with much too big of a smile for such words. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

The zero boy's disarming smiles widened as the director pointed to the door.

Yoji cocked an eyebrow. "You sure do have a lot of balls for an old woman."
