"So, how about it?" Uruha asked. Ruki looked at him biting his lip. "Come on, we only have a few minutes."

Kai had called bathroom break earlier, so Reita and Aoi went out to smoke as the vocalist and lead guitarist stayed behind.

"I don't know Uru," The red head mumbled. "It seems really stupid."

"What's stupid about it? The first one to make Aoi fall for him gets him."

"But what if he thinks one of us is really going out with Aoi, and then Aoi will get hurt too. This is really stupid."

"Come on Ru. We'll tell him in the end that it wasn't real and that we're really sorry for it. Don't worry, he won't take it hard and he'll forgive us. We'll just tell him that we wanted to be sure of our sexuality."

The red head sighed. "I don't want him to hate us."

"Her won't. I promise!" Uruha reassured him. "Remember the prize if you get Aoi to ask you out."

Ruki smiled and blushed. "Fine. How long do we each have?"

"Hmm…" The other thought. "A week each. I'll give you the first week."

"K."

"Ok! Back to practice!" Kai shouted as he walked in with the other two behind him. Ruki and Uruha quickly got off the couch to get their stuff ready. Uruha looked back and winked at the shorter, only to get a nervous smile in return.

~~Afterwards~~

Ruki smiled as his band mates put away their instruments and one in particular caught his attention. He couldn't help, but stare at the man he was truly, deeply in love with and unfortunately, so was Uruha.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ruki looked to the side to see their leader standing next him smiling. "Oh, um… nothing."

"K, well, I'm going to head out." Kai said. "See you guys tomorrow."

"Yeah me too." Reita said stretching. "See you later."

Ruki watched as they left together, then turned to find Uruha smiling at him.

"Yeah I'm going too." The honey blonde winked at the shorter, leaving him with the prey.

"S-so Aoi."

"Hmm." The guitarist was busy wiping his guitar off.

"Umm…y-you wanna, um…go get coffee?"

Aoi looked at him funny. "You don't drink coffee."

"Well…you do so why don't we have some?"

"Maybe some other time." The brunette mumbled, zipping his guitar case.

"Oh, ok. Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."Ruki mumbled before walking out. Aoi sighed and felt bad because the younger looked depressed, so he ran to the door to see the red head halfway down the hall.

"Ruki!" Aoi shouted. The shorter turned around and looked. "Wait a minute."

~~At the Café~~

Girls giggled as the two handsome men sat down and gave their order to the waitress. They hadn't said a word since they entered the café and Ruki was biting his lip, keeping his head down.

Aoi sighed. "So what's up?"

"Hmm?"

"Why did you ask me to come with you? Do you need to talk about something?"

Ruki blushed and smiled. "Well…you see, there's someone I like."

"Oh? Who's the lucky lady?"

"Actually…"The red head mumbled. "It's a guy."

It got quiet. Ruki felt extremely uncomfortable. Had he made a mistake? He never heard Aoi saying he hated gays, or that he's ok with them. Does the guitarist feel uncomfortable because his friend is gay?

"Maybe I shouldn't have asked you to come." Ruki mumbled.

"Uh, no. I'm sorry, that was really rude of me." Aoi said. "I was just a bit…surprised. Well, who is it?"

"Um…I-I can't tell you. I was hoping you could help me get his attention."

"I don't how I can help. I don't even know who it is."

"I know, but I get so nervous around him and stuttered and I-I get flustered and I ramble and…"Ruki noticed Aoi smiling with his eyebrow raised. "What?"

"Nothing."

Ruki went to say something, but was cut off when the waitress sat their drinks down. He decided to stay quiet so Aoi figured he would break the silence this time.

"Do I know him?"

Ruki bit his lip and shook his head.

"From where?"

The red sighed. "He's…he's in the band."

Aoi eyes got wide. "Oh? Tell me then."

"N-no way!" Ruki's face got red.

"I'll keep it a secret I promise."

The red head darted his eyes around. Should he tell Aoi the truth, or stay with the bet. 'Decision, decision, I need a decision!'

"You ok?" The guitarist asked. Ruki opened his eyes and realized that he was practically pulling his own hair out.

"Uh…I'm fine, it's just…" He sighed. "I don't know."

Aoi reached over and rubbed the vocalist's face. "I'll tell you a secret." He leaned over next to Ruki's and whispered. "I also like someone in the band too."

The red head gasped and blushed as Aoi pulled away with a smile. "Wh-who?"

The brunette laughed. "Tell me who you like and I'll tell you."

"We-well, h-he's taller than me."

"That's everybody."

Ruki glared at him, but continued. "He's skinny, but strong."

"Oh?" Aoi smiled.

"What about yours?"

The guitarist giggled. "Well, he's thin. He has a goofy smile. He's very sexy."

"That doesn't help much." Ruki mumbled.

"Well, neither did yours."

The singer huffed before sipping his tea, which made the other laugh.

~~At Kai's~~

The drummer slipped his shoes off and smiled at his guest.

"What do you want to drink?" Kai asked.

"Anything's fine." Reita mumbled as he stepped into the living room. Kai quickly made them some tea before sitting down next to his friend.

"So, what do you want to talk about today?"

Reita sighed. "Well, he seemed a bit different today."

"Yeah I noticed it too."

"I couldn't stop staring at him again today."The blonde mumbled.

Kai sighed. "You should tell him about how you feel."

"But what if he rejects me? Then he might hate me for being gay and loving him."

"Baka!" The leader yelled. "Nothing bad will happen. Besides, I doubt something like that will ruin your friendship."

Reita sighed. "I'm just scared."

"Wow." Kai mumbled. "The world's Reita, the daredevil bassist is scared of asking someone out."

"This isn't just somebody. This is the man I've loved since the day we've met. This is the guy who could brighten my shittiest day with just a smile. He's the one that makes me happy to wake up every morning. This is Ruki we're talking about here."

The drummer smiled, knowing how much Reita loved their chibi vocalist. "Well, as your therapist and friend, I'm telling you that you need to tell him how you feel."

"When should I do it then?"

"Hmm, how about tomorrow night we all go clubbing, and you can tell him then."

"You're not much of a romantic are you?" Reita asked.

The leader giggled. "Well, it's more like we all need a good time and it just seems perfect. So how about it?"

The blonde sighed. "I guess. Just tell everyone."

"Will do! Now, go home and think of how you're going to tell him and ask him out."

Reita smiled as he pulled his friend into a hug. "Thank you."

~~The Next day~~

"Ok!" Kai shouted as they finished their last song. "Now I hope nobody's too tired."

"Why?" Uruha asked.

"I've decided that we're all going out and having fun. So go home, get ready, and we're all meeting back here in an hour."

"Eh…don't we have a say in this?" Ruki asked.

Their leader glared him. "No, you don't. Now as commander in chief—"

"Commander in chief?" The honey blonde mumbled.

"Shut up Uruha." Kai said. "Now we meet back in an hour!"

The drummer skipped out with Reita right behind him, luckily they went down the elevator alone together.

"Kai."

"Hmm?"

"Will you help me find something to wear?" Reita asked.

"You're joking right?"

Reita gave him a sad look, which Kai gave into, so he followed the blonde home. When he got Reita an outfit of tight fitting, black pants, a black shirt with a silver tie and helped style his hair, Kai left to head home. When he walked up his steps, he found a familiar raven haired man standing outside his door.

"Hey Aoi." The drummer caught his attention.

"Hey, I've been wanting to talk to you."

Kai opened the door and let him in. "About what?"

"Well, I think…" He sighed. "This is going to sound weird, but I think Ruki likes me."

Kai dropped his keys along with his jaw. "Wh-what? Why do you think that?"

"Well, yesterday we were talking and he said he liked someone in the band, well, he kept blushing around me. He kept jumbling with his words and when I asked him who it was, he got nervous, he blushed and he kept looking away. Common signs of a crush."

"You would know those things." Kai mumbled, picking his keys up. "Maybe it's nothing."

Aoi shrugged. "I don't know. What if he does like me?"

The leader sighed. "I don't know, I mean how would you feel about it?"

"Well," The guitarist scratched his head. "Ok I guess. I don't mind going out with him if he wants to."

The drummer's eyes went wide. "Do you like him?"

Aoi scratched the back of his head. "Well, I'm ok with dating him. I mean I don't think the one like would even consider dating me. So yeah, I guess I kind of like him."

"Oh dear."

"What?" The guitarist asked.

"Um…nothing. Are you ready for tonight?"

"Yeah. What's wrong? Do you think it's gross for me to like Ruki?"

"No!" Kai shouted. "It's just, I've been talking to someone who also likes Ruki."

"Who?"

"I'm not telling. That wouldn't be very nice." The leader sighed. "I'll meet you at the studio ok."

"Alright." Aoi said shrugging his shoulders. Kai watched as he left the apartment, then he let out an overwhelming gasp.

"Damn!" He shouted. "What have I done? Poor Rei. He's going to be so heartbroken."

Kai shook his head and quickly got ready.

~~The Studio~~

Reita was first to arrive, so he began pacing, thinking of ways to tell Ruki how he felt about the singer. Uruha walked in and smiled at the nervous bassist.

"What are you doing?" The honey blonde scared him.

"Uh, n-nothing." Reita mumbled, trying to hide his red face. Uruha sat down, still smiling at his friend.

"Tell me."

The blonde sighed. "I've decided to tell Ruki that I like him."

"What?" Uruha gasped.

"Uru, I just need to take this chance, ok."

"I understand Rei, but," The honey blonde looked away in sadness.

"But what?"

His friend sighed. "I just don't want you to get hurt. I didn't want to tell you, but Ruki…Ruki really likes Aoi. A lot."

Reita gave a nervous smile. "Wh-what do you mean?"

"Well, we've been talking about it. Ruki has had a crush on Aoi for a long time now." Uruha mumbled, but deep down he's smiling. He's known about Reita's crush on Ruki, but he just didn't want it to happen. "I didn't want to tell you Rei, but I just…I don't want to see him hurt you."

The bassist felt his heart rip in two. He gasped at the feeling and tried to smile, but a tear fell. 'This can't be true.' He thought. 'It just can't be. But, Uruha has never lied to me before. Oh god, why?'

He flinched when he felt a hand on his cheek. He blinked a few times before he saw Uruha standing there.

"I'm here for you Rei." The honey blonde whispered, giving his friend a hug. The blonde hugged back and then Uruha pulled away to plant a kiss on the blonde's cheek. Reita shook his head and pulled away.

"What are you doing?"

"Rei, I just," Uruha bit his lip. "I'm sorry. I really like you. I really, really like you, since middle school. But I love your happiness more. I wish you the best of luck with Ruki."

Reita shook his head and wiped his tears away. They stood in silence until Aoi walked in with a smile and sat down on the couch. He looked up to find Reita glaring at him.

"What?" He asked harshly.

Reita blinked and his face softened. "Sorry, I was thinking."

Aoi shook his head and looked at Uruha, who seemed depressed. The atmosphere seemed tense, so Aoi just slipped into the couch, trying to hide himself in it. When he figured out it was impossible, he got up and stretched, then Kai walked in with a smile.

"We ready?" The drummer asked.

"Yeah, but we're missing someone." Uruha said happily.

"Yeah, where is our chibi vocalist?" Kai asked looking around.

"Don't call me that!" Ruki shouted as he walked in. Reita froze when he saw the younger, standing there in skin tight pants, black, skin tight shirt, showing his chest off a little.

"Time to go!" Kai shouted.

They all followed him out and declared him the designated driver since he made them go out. So they all piled into his car then headed out.

Before they knew it, they were inside a club looking for table big enough for the five of them. They sat down, ordered some drinks, and talked for a bit. Kai was sitting between Uruha and Reita, as Ruki and Aoi sat next to each other on the other side. They were all quiet so, Uruha kicked Ruki leg, making the red head flinch. They all looked at him funny which made him giggle and scratch his head.

He sighed, but smiled. "Let's go dance." He got up and pulled Aoi out of the booth, leading him to the dance floor. Reita and Kai watched with wide eyes as the younger did so. Ruki dragged the other deep into the crowd so the group couldn't see them, unfortunately they found them again. The red head started dancing a little, then backed into his friend and Aoi grabbed the younger's hips as they began grinding against each other. The guitarist rubbed his hand up Ruki's side, up to his chest and started pinching the red head's nipples. Ruki brought his arms around and wrapped them around Aoi's neck as he pushed against him some more. Reita felt his blood boil at the sight. He stood up and rushed out of the club, but when he got outside a hand startled him. He turned to find that Uruha had grabbed his shoulder.

"I'm sorry." The honey blonde whispered.

Reita shook his head. "It's not your fault."

"I know, it's hard. I know that it way too soon, but what about me? I can make you happy." Uruha pleaded with teary eyes.

Reita looked at the ground before pushing Uruha into the wall of the building. He gripped the honey blonde hair and pulled the guitarist into a kiss, which Uruha gladly kissed back. It was a heated kiss, Uruha pulled the other man's head in deeper and fought for dominance. When they finally broke away, Reita stepped back and the guitarist smiled.

"Does this mean, you'll go out with me?" The honey blonde asked. Reita rubbed the other's cheek and pressed his body against Uruha's. He lifted the honey blonde's chin and looked him straight in the eyes.

"Yes." He whispered before kissing his band mate again.

After three songs, Aoi and Ruki decided to sit down and rest, but when they got there, they saw two of their friends gone.

"Where they go?" Ruki asked. Kai glared at him, but quickly put on a smile.

"I don't know. I'll be right back, I have use the bathroom and then I'm getting myself a drink." Kai said getting up.

Ruki sighed and realized how close he was to Aoi, so he leaned on him. The raven haired man sighed. "Ruki, I can't."

"Huh?" The singer backed off a little.

Aoi looked down at him and smiled. "I'm sorry. I don't like you that way. I shouldn't have danced with you like that. I know you have a crush on me and all, but I can't go out with you."

Ruki smiled. "That's ok."

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to hurt you, it's just my heart belongs to someone else."

"Who?" The singer asked.

"Promise to keep it a secret?" Aoi asked.

"Promise."

"I like Uruha."

Ruki gasped. 'What? What? Seriously? Oh Uruha. Oh Aoi, jeez. He'll be crushed if he found out that Uruha likes Reita.'

"I hope we can still be friends." The guitarist said.

"Of course." Ruki said with a smile.

~~The Next Day at practice.~~

Ruki was the last one to walk in. He looked up to find Kai twirling a drumstick, Reita and Uruha sitting on the couch, and Aoi sitting in a chair.

"Sorry I'm late." The singer said coming in.

"Let's get started." Kai said.

"Before that." Uruha spoke and looked at Reita. "Can we tell them?"

"Tell us what?" Ruki asked walking in front of them.

"Sure." The blonde said.

Uruha smiled and clapped his hands together. "Reita and I are dating."

Kai dropped his drumstick, Aoi's and Ruki's eyes got wide. Both felt like someone stabbed them the heart and was twisting the knife around in it. Kai's jaw could probably touch the floor, his eyes were as wide as the other two, then suddenly Aoi stood up and wrapped his arms around Ruki.

"I'm glad for you two. I guess we let out that we're going out too. Huh Ruki?"

The vocalist was frozen in time. He was too shocked to respond to anything, not even their drummer falling off his stool.

"Eh?" Kai shouted as he sat up.

The red head blinked and looked at Uruha in the eye. Not once in his life has Ruki felt more betrayed than he does now.
