Chapter 3: Let's meet

So annoying! Sho fumed inside, as he closed the bathroom door.

Nothing of what he'd found out about Tsuruga so far was remotely embarrassing. He'd found his real ID in a hidden drawer under his desk. Sho didn't know Hizuri Kuon, but he knew Hizuri Kuu! Since when was that guy the child of international stars? And why was he hiding his real eye and hair color? This was infuriating. Not only was Tsuruga not what he pretended to be, but he was even more, even better. What was he doing in a small country like Japan, when he was born in freaking Hollywood? And now, there was this bathroom experience… Well, it made things even worse. Huh, it's not like I'm jealous or something. He reminded himself.

The phone rang again, and Sho was tempted to turn it off. He looked at the screen nonetheless and recognized his own phone number. Is that… He cleared his throat and took the call.

"Who is that?" he asked defensively.

"Ah." His interlocutor paused, but Sho recognized his own voice "I might want to ask you the same question, since I'm usually the one to answer the number I just dialed."

"Tsuruga." He said between gritted teeth. "What did you do? What do you want?"

"I suppose the same as you…" he sighed "Look, I don't understand what is happening, but talking to you right now… Damn it! This is really happening."

"No shit." Sho growled "How real does it need to be, Hizuri san?"

The line went silent and Sho had to check the screen to make sure it hadn't been cut.

"Have you talked to anybody?" Ren's voice finally spoke in a chilly tone.

Huh. He's nervous. Sho smiled. Surely, there was a way he could use that to his advantage.

"Oh, should I not have asked Yashiro about it?" he said wickedly, and savored the few silent seconds he received as a reply.

"You're bluffing."

Sho was ecstatic. He had never felt as powerful as right now, with Tsuruga Ren's reputation in his hands.

"Am I?"

...oooOOOooo...

It was for moments like that he relied on Rick's watch. Not having it right now, Kuon could only tighten his fist in frustration. How much damage was the singer going to cause in his already chaotic life? What if he met with Kyouko? No. Be rational. Fuwa had no interest in revealing anything about him. Not right now anyway, it was too soon and the situation was too surprising, even for him. He couldn't have.

"Let's meet." He said finally. No matter what, the priority was to get things back to normal. Maybe something would happen if they got together? Maybe they'd at least get a clue on how to get each body back to its rightful owner. Fuwa should want that too.

"Hum…" there was a hesitation in his voice, but he probably came to the same conclusion as he agreed "Ok."

"That's a start." Kuon sighed "Stay at my place and wait for me."

"Like I'm gonna be taking orders from you!"

"Well, what else do you propose?" his patience was at its limit. "I don't recall you drive, so maybe you intend to take the bus?" He was trying his best, which was not easy considering the situation, and Fuwa's resistance to cooperate was making it even more complicated. "Should we meet in a public place too?"

"Tst I get it alright, you don't need to be so uptight ab-"

"That's settled then. I will be free at 2PM, so expect me around 3."

"What do you mean, free at-"

"That's the time the shooting for the Star Cosmetics commercial is supposed to finish." He said simply, rendering the singer silent. He looked at the phone and saw they were still connected.

"I… you… you intend to go there in my stead?"

"You don't have to worry, you won't get any complaint." Kuon assured.

"But… but… you don't expect me to do your work in return, do you?"

"No!" Kuon exclaimed. The last thing he needed was to be replaced by that jerk in a professional context, even for a day, or an hour. "Fuwa san." He collected himself. "I'm going to do just the commercial. It's my job, trust me. After that I'll be right there with you and we can try to figure this out."

"Whatever." The voice on the phone grumbled.

Author's note: Fun fact, I copied the name of this fic from a Haven episode. I liked that show, and it was a fun episode with a bunch of the main cast switched, including both male leads.

Thank you so much for the comments, and thanks for reading :)
