Tohma Seguchi was sitting at his desk working as usual. He wasn't sure if burying himself in work was necessarily the best idea he's ever had. Sure burying himself in work was nothing new to him, but he did just divorce his wife of many years. They were already on the rode to divorce: she was always late, had an excuse for everything, spending large amounts of money on "novelty items" and most recently she'd been spotted in the general facility of "friendly" women. So it really wasn't surprising when Tohma found out she had cheated on him with women, the one she was with the most was none other than woman she tried to set her own brother up with, Ayaka Usami.
To be honest it's not like Tohma didn't see this coming, after all she did get along better with women, but it still hurt. Not that it mattered anymore, Tohma had divorced her and now work just seemed that much more taxing to him for some reason. Sure there were other signs she was cheating, those other ones were just a few of the reasons. The others were she was spending more then enough money in clothing stores, taking unmentioned vacations varying in length to Kyoto, then one of the biggest two tells was that she actually started sucking him off. She never did that she was too prudish to do anything other than fuck him. Finally she stopped fucking him altogether, she always found some excuse for not wanting it. Poor Tohma hadn't been laid in the past 3 months, he didn't mind it though.. it wasn't the first time he'd gone through a dry spell.
Besides work was more important to him at the moment, with the press release that Nittle Grasper was reuniting he wouldn't have time for trivial matters. That didn't mean that he wasn't tired of being alone and lied to. Sure he was skeptical to true the dating scene again; woman only wanted him for his money. Another thing, Tohma really didn't find women that attractive anymore.
Yes, the great Tohma Seguchi was gay. He hadn't found anyone though; to be honest he wasn't really looking though. He and Ryuichi dated briefly before Ryuichi married Eiri 2 years later. Then there was Shuichi, that didn't last long for Shuichi had dumped him for his own cousin Suguru, yeah Tohma really should have seen that one coming though. The final disappointment was with Ryuichi's ex-manager K, or Claude to those who were close to him. That was fun though Tohma wasn't sure as to why he went for K, perhaps he wanted to try something new, alas that wasn't meant to be either as he was dumped for Bad Luck guitarist Hiroshi Nakano.
Tohma was about worn out on the dating scene. He sighed setting his work aside for the moment; he had rehearsal in 10 minutes. He walked down to Nittle Graspers studio where Ryuichi and Noriko were already there messing around. Ryuichi was dancing around and singing 'Spicy Marmalade' by one of his best friends Shuichi Shindo, but he didn't care… as he put it, the song was amazing.
He shut the door causing Ryuichi to stop singing long enough to turn and glomp Tohma. "TOHMA!" he cried out as he hugged the older keyboardist. Tohma sighed as he pealed Ryuichi off of him; he was use to the singers' eccentric behavior by now. "hello Ryuichi… Noriko" he said as he finally got Ryuichi off of him and then nodded to Noriko.
She nodded him response to Tohma's greeting. Ryuichi was pouting that Tohma ruined his glomp but then perked up when he remembered his after work plans. "hey Tohma! Come out with us after work… Kumaguro wants you to go and wont take no for an answer." He said waving his stuffed bunny bear at Tohma. Who was currently just standing there blinking in amusement "alright Ryuichi, I will go" he said sighing internally as he walked to his own keyboard.
"thank you Tohma!" Ryuichi screeched happily. "we go after work oh! Shuichi's coming too, then there's Hiro and K.. oh yeah Suguru too…. Ouch Norioko, oooh youre so m-" he only stopped talking after she had nodded towards Tohma, who looked very sad. Ryuichi couldn't believe he was that dense and mentally slapped himself. He shook his head as he went over to Tohma and hugged him tightly.
Tohma needless to say was shocked as hell that had to be a record for Ryuichi in going serious. Yes he was surprised but yet also appreciated the gesture "it'll be okay Tohma, you'll see. I promise you'll do just fine, you're strong and you'll find someone that's perfect for you.. I just know you will" he said kissing Tohma on the cheek. Tohma just sighed and nodded to Ryuichi in thanks, he knew the singer was trying to help however Tohma was not so optimistic as Ryuichi. Although for once he really hoped Ryuichi was right.
He took a deep breath calming himself and counting quietly and kicked off the music for Sleepless Beauty. Not that they actually needed the practice but it never hurt to get reacquainted with the piece. They continued practicing late into the night, actually in had turned into almost a mini concert, before calling it a night. "yay! Time to go, come on Tohma! You promised Mr. Bear" he looked at Tohma with those sparkly eyes.
To best honest all Tohma wanted to do was go home, but he had a feeling there was no way Ryuichi would let him not go out. He shook his head knowing Ryu just wouldn't give up "alright Ryuichi let's go. My office is already locked up anyway so, shall we go" he asked displaying that trademark smile and taking his key from his pocket. Ryuichi knew that smile was crap, but he wasn't about to let Tohma go home either.
He bounced over to Tohma ad grabbed his hand shoving kumaguro into Tohma arms "here hold him for me Tohma will you" he said grabbing Tohma and Norikos hand and bouncingly dragging them to the elevator and down to Tohma's car. "we can all ride with Tohma" he said grinning that huge childish smile "and mr bear can sit with Tohma, he like you Tohma" he said smiling as he waited for Tohma to unlock the doors. Tohma sighed and shook his head trying to hide his smirk; Ryuichi knew just how to perk him up sometimes. He unlocked the doors, he was glad for ryu's little pick-me-up but in all honesty he had almost forgotten how childish and pushy Ryuichi could be at times.
However for once Tohma wasn't complaining, in fact he was actually glad for pushy wont take no for an answer Ryuichi, well at least for tonight. They all got into the car and Tohma drive off to the bar Ryuichi had told him with kumaguro still in his lap, Tohma had completely forgotten all about that bunny bear. Ryuichi couldn't help but smile to himself, Tohma looked adorable with kuma-chan he was definitely getting Tohma one for his birthday.
When they arrived at they bar Ryuichi grabbed kumaguro from Tohma and they all went inside. When they entered that bar Ryuichi instantly ran over glomped from behind Eiri Yuki, his husband of 3 years now. Eiri let out a quiet gasp nearly chocking on his beer. He was use to Ryuichi childish antics by now but the glomping never seemed to not surprise him. Eiri turned around and hugged the 36 year old singer kissing him lightly as Ryu jumped on the stool next to him. Tohma and Noriko just shook their heads; those two were a perfect match for each other they really were. They just smiled and took seats on the other side of Ryuichi as Ryuichi ordered a cotton candy swirl only to have Eiri have the look of wanting to face palm. Tohma knew Ryuichi would be completely hyper tonight and he just couldn't help but silently chuckle at that.
