Author's Notes: This was a fic written by me and my good friend Kel! It was supposed to be a one shot since I was in the mood for a Tohma, and she was in the mood for a Taki. Somehow, elements got added, plot twists and many angsty things! This turned into a full fledged fic by the time we worked out the details!
Hope you all enjoy the first chapter!
Transaction
Chapter One
Waiting, waiting, waiting.
The blonde was not one to keep waiting. No, not if you wanted to make sure you acquired what was probably the biggest deal of your entire career. It was fifteen minutes past the set meeting time of three o' clock, and the large meeting room was empty save for himself and the fairly large folder of paperwork sitting in front of him.
One gloved hand flipped open the manila envelope and he quickly scanned the paper. A document stating the agreement of signing the band Opium. This deal was to take place with a one, Aizawa Taki.
Tohma sat back in the plush leather chair. He heard it sigh beneath him. Crossing his legs delicately, he removed the plain, black bowler from his head, placing it in his lap, hands resting lightly over it.
How had it all come to this? Tohma may not look like one who held a grudge, ever present smile always giving people an eerie form of comfort that the past was washed away like the grime collected throughout the day, but he did hold them where it was needed. Of course the one against Shindou-san had been forced away (Eiri-kun could only take so much), but there was no one to stop this one.
Aizawa Taki.
The name played in his head like a song he'd heard before but couldn't recall the name or band of it. He did, however, remember the old singer in vivid detail. The dark hair, brooding eyes, rough talk but sissy walk. Oh yes, Tohma's little gaydar could spot them from a mile away. Also, the way that lecherous blonde followed him like a wolf about to pounce was also quite a give away.
Tohma recalled the entire incident. The battered form of Shindou-san practically crawling through the lobby bright in his mind. Yet, he hadn't felt anything then. He had snapped when Eiri-kun had cried. Cried over such a thing. Yes, the blonde supposed that Eiri-kun had taken care of it all with the ASK group beating, and getting the pictures certainly saved a lot of time, but... well, Tohma hadn't thought it enough.
The letter had been a set up, the outcry against Shindou-san and Eiri-kun had all been expected, having ASK dump Taki on the street like last nights trash had been as well. The placement when Ma-kun had broken the news? Planned. Specifically for the pay phone Tohma knew he would run to.
The oncoming headlights on a carless street and a quivering, muttering Taki had been the last of the man. Tohma had exacted a true revenge for his Eiri-kun, having left the man totally broken. Or so he thought.
Who could've seen that two years from now, the very same Aizawa Taki would become a top manager. Not Tohma. Who could've seen Tohma offering a deal (not the other way around) to Aizawa Taki? Not Tohma. But Taki was one of the apparent best, and all Tohma wanted was the best.
Except his almost newly acquired best was now twenty minutes late.
Author's Notes: My co-writer Kel and I have problems being on at the same time sometimes, so I guess I'll be handling a lot of the things. Like the notes! I'll be sure to drag her in on something to say every now and then. I'm sure if the reviews are impressive enough, she'll be encouraged to. It may put her in a good mood! And that's hard to do.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed the first chaper!
