XXXXXXX

Katou is packing a light suitcase for his five-day photo shoot in Hawaii. Iwaki is in the bedroom with him, pretending all is fine. When katou leaves, it is always a lonely time for him. He knows that he will be alone in their big house with out his lover making him smile and laugh at things that would be meaningless to him alone.

"You're packing so little Katou. Are you planning on not being there for the whole five days?"

Katou looks down at his clothes and looks over at his lover. "You don't think this is enough? I only need a couple of pairs of pants because I'll be shooting in the clothes they have for me. The last time I was there, I could have sworn I had more clothes than I did. I really believe someone decided to help themselves too my wardrobe. Taki said he didn't see any one around, but I know I'm missing some of my things."

Iwaki looks at him with a raised brow. "Maybe he took them. You did say the two of you shared a room didn't you? As much as I don't like the idea that you were sleeping in the same room with him I do trust you."

"You should trust me; I'll never cheat on you. Besides Taki and I don't have that type of relationship. Do you really think he is taking my clothes as some type of souvenir?" He shakes his head as he chuckles. "I wouldn't put it past him but I think he's harmless.

Iwaki gets up and walks over to Katou. "That reminds me of the break-in. I don't like the idea of someone having your clothes because it's too much like you're being stalked. Maybe I should take some time off and go with you."

He turns and looks at Iwaki in surprise. "Are you worried about me Iwaki-san?" He puts his hands on his arms, rubbing them along the sides.

"Don't be stupid, of course I'm worried about you!" He looks at him with concern in his eyes. "I just…I just don't want to think about anything happening to you. Katou, if someone is taking your clothes, who knows what they might want next."

Katou looks at him with a smile on his beautiful face. "Nothing is going to happen to me. I can take care of myself you know. Why do you think I have been doing those extra sets at the gym?" He pulls Iwaki into his arms and whispers in his ear. "I want to protect you, not you protecting me. I'll be fine Iwaki-san." He kisses him on the side of his face and moves to his lips.

Iwaki puts his hands on his face pushing him back. "This is no joke Katou. I do worry about you and until you're back, I'll continue to worry." He smiles at Katou and brings his face closer as he kisses him.

"Ah…Iwaki-san…we do have a few minutes…"

"Then what are we waiting for?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Across town, Kikuchi is in his shower getting ready for his day. He lets the water run down his body as he leans his head back enjoying the needle hardness of the spray. This is the only thing that tempers the lust and hatred he feels for Iwaki right now.

Growing up in Japan was hard as a teenager, trying to suppress his desires for his male classmates. He had to hide his true nature from his family and friends, and that made him a loner. Going to the movies alone, watching the actors as they played different parts, being this person one day and someone totally opposite the next. He wanted to be someone else, not himself but someone that was able to change, given the right mood and acting was his way out of being himself, being someone that was loathsome and vile because he was an oddity in the mainstream of life.

He wanted other boys as he was growing up and girls held no interest for him. Giggling, silly girls with their overpowering perfume smells and too soft skin making promising they had no intention of keeping. Girls that leading the boys on and teasing them, making them beg for something, they had no intention on giving them. He shudders as he thinks of the first girl he had sex with because that was the only thing you could call it was, sex. He had to wine and dine her for two whole weeks before they fumbled in the back of his father's old car, in an attempt at making love. He ended up disgusted with her but most of all disgusted with himself and he vowed he would never go through something like that again.

He chuckles as he remembers when he told his parents that he wanted to be an actor and study abroad but his father said that acting was for unstable people, with no purpose in life and he would fall into a bad crowd. His father blamed his being gay on his acting, but nothing could be further from the truth. He has always been fascinated with his own gender. He liked feeling the rough skin of a man's cheek next to his, the feel of hard muscle under smooth skin.

He steps out of the shower, wraps a towel around his still slim waist, and goes into his bedroom. He looks down at the young man in his bed and smiles. He sits on the side and strokes the hair out of his eyes as he sleeps. The man is beautiful, but he is not the one he desires, but he will do.

The man he desires is Iwaki Kyosuke. The one man that thought he was too good for him, the one man that fought off his advances in favor of his young lover, Katou Yoji! However, that will change and soon if he has his way. Katou is leaving town today and should be gone four or five days. That should be enough time to put his plan into motion. With the help of this delicious man in his bed right now, he should have him in a couple of days.

"Wake up Taki, we do have to work today, or do you plan on sleeping all day?" He runs his fingers through the younger man's hair as he opens his eyes slowly.

"Oh Kikuchi-san! What time is it! I didn't mean to oversleep, I'm sorry." He sits up quickly, throwing the sheet back from his nude body.

"Relax Taki, you have time, I just didn't want to waste the morning." He pulls the younger man in his arms kissing him on the lips. He runs his hand down Taki's back, stopping at his hips as he squeezes. "I wanted you to wake up so I can make love to you before we leave."

He nibbles on the side of his neck as Taki puts his arms around Kikuchi and pulls his head down. "I think that can be arranged."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Iwaki walks into the studio and lays his briefcase down. He walks over to get a cup of coffee and runs into Taki and Kikuchi at the table.

"Good morning Iwaki-san, did Katou get off okay." Taki smiles as he sips from his cup. He knows that without Katou being here today it was going to be a dull day for him and judging by Iwaki's face, for him also.

Iwaki pours a cup of coffee as he answers the younger man. "Yes he did but I don't think his heart was in it. Five days is a long time to be separated from him. I miss him already." He raises his cups to his lips and takes a sip.

Kikuchi smirks as he listens to the conversation between the two men and decides to join in.

"What you need is to work and get your mind off him leaving. We'll be shooting around him for the next few days, so we have our work cut out for us. I thought we could go through the scene where the two of them have just left each other at the hotel and they are walking down the street together." Kikuchi looks down at the screenplay in his hand.

"That means we are doing the kiss scene? You didn't mention this yesterday." Iwaki looks at him in surprise.

Kikuchi smiles at Iwaki, "I was going over some of the scenes last night that didn't have Katou in them and I saw this one. You know he is in just about everyone. Will that be a problem for you Iwaki?"

"No…of course not, but I didn't think we were going to go that far ahead in the script yet. Of course, I'm ready to do it, that's not a problem at all. When do we start?"

Taki looks at Kikuchi over his cup as he smiles. Kikuchi has told him already what he has planned to do with the unsuspecting Iwaki. The kiss he planned to give him will be one he won't forget soon. Taki looks at the director/actor wishing it were him Kikuchi was about to kiss in that scene. 'I'm such a hero worshipper.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As they are setting up the equipment in the other part of the studio, Iwaki is going over his part and sees that Kikuchi purposely waited for this part. Katou will be here after the fact and can't interfere with the kiss between them. 'At least I get a chance to punch him in the face so that should make up for him kissing me this time and the last.'

"Iwaki everything is set up and we're waiting on you to take your place. I need you here now." Kikuchi has on a trench coat, glasses, and standing by one of the replica New York buildings.

One of the other directors takes over and calls action!

Iwaki and Kikuchi play, Ryo MacLean and Berkeley Rose as they start their walk down the streets of New York. They have just left the hotel after the FBI agent has kissed Dee, and Ryo is upset after seeing it.

"Worried?" Kikuchi/Rose

"What do you mean, Sir?" Iwaki/Ryo

"I'm talking about worrying over 'him' of course." Kikuchi/Rose

"Of course not. Why would I be?" Iwaki/Ryo

"You like to hide your emotions, don't you?" Kikuchi/Rose

"Is that bad?" Iwaki/Ryo

"Oh no, not at all. In fact, I rather like that." Kikuchi/Rose

"Huh?" Iwaki/Ryo

He leans over to kiss Iwaki/Ryo as he looks up in alarm. He brings his arm up blocking the kiss he knows is coming.

"Looks like you've picked up a few choice tactics from your partner there. 'Dam' Kikuchi/Rose

"Thanks to you, Sir." Iwaki/Ryo

"But you still got a lot to learn." Kikuchi/Rose

Kikuchi sweeps Iwaki's leg from under him and as he falls back, he catches him with one arm around his waist, leans in and kisses him full on the lips, taking him by surprise. Kikuchi lets his arm go slack, Iwaki tumbles on his back, and the director yells cut.

"I'm so sorry Iwaki, are you okay! Let me help you up!" Kikuchi bends down, helps Iwaki up off the floor, and brushes him off, all the time telling him how sorry he is.

"It's okay Kikuchi, it was an accident. I'm fine, just a little embarrassed, but I'll live. He smiles at the older man because he does seem sincere. "Don't make a fuss."

The director comes over and asks if he wants to see a doctor and Iwaki laughs. "I'm not made of glass so I don't think anything is broken. Please let's continue I'm fine."

The director looks at Kikuchi and says, "Why don't we take a fifteen minute break to make sure he is okay, is that fine with you?" He nods his head at the director and looks over at Iwaki. "I'm really sorry about that but when we do it over I'll make sure I catch you, I promise." He walks away with a small smile on his face. No one knows that he drop him on purpose, now it has to be done again. "I get to feel those lips once again and they are as soft as I remember."

Iwaki is sitting down, looking at his coffee cup thinking about Katou. The scene with Kikuchi is hard enough without him having to do it a second or third time. If Katou were here, he would have caused a scene when he fell. He smiles and Taki takes that time to join him.

"I'm happy to see that you're not the worst for wear, Iwaki-san. I know that something like that didn't hurt you. Good thing Katou is not here, I'm sure he would have made you go home." He laughs as he says this but he is serious.

Iwaki laughs with him, "He is over protective when it comes to me but then so am I about him. When I talk to him this evening I'll let him know I fell and I'm okay. I couldn't keep something like that from him when everyone on the set has seen it. The only thing that bothers me is him dropping me the way he did. I didn't think he would make a mistake like that. Well I don't blame him and accidents do happen."

They are called back to the set and go through the same lines again. However, this time when Kikuchi kisses him he sticks his tongue in Iwaki's mouth and instinct takes over. Iwaki pushes back on him and falls bringing Kikuchi down on top on top of him.

He pushes him off and stands as he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. "Was this your intention all along! You are pathetic, Kikuchi!" He storms off the set and into the dressing rooms where he pulls off his clothes throwing them all over the trailer.

Taki comes running in saying, "Iwaki-san are you alright! Kikuchi didn't mean anything by it I'm sure. Iwaki-san clam down, please."

Iwaki turns and looks at the younger man. "When did you become Kikuchi's champion? Is there something going on that I'm not aware of Taki-kun?" He walks towards Taki with his brow raised.

Taki puts his hands up in front of his chest, "Nothing is going on, I swear. I know there is bad blood between the two of you for some reason but with you falling a second time it just seem as if it was your fault. What did he do? I know he is supposed to kiss you and you hit him for it, am I right?"

"Taki, the man put his tongue down my dam throat for christ sake! He deliberately drops me the first time so he could do this to me. Every time I feel I can trust someone to be professional in this business, they pull this type of shit on me. I'm tired of being the one who gets taken advantage of, dammit!" He sits at his mirror and puts his head in his hands thinking back to Katou and what he did when they were filming 'Embracing Love'. Katou took him that day in front of everyone with them being none the wiser and now Kikuchi pulls the same shit!

"But Iwaki-san, maybe he thought you wouldn't mind. You know it was somewhat funny with the two of you on the floor like that. I bet he won't try that again." Taki chuckles as he thinks back to what happen earlier.

Iwaki allows a small smile to creep on his face. "It was kind of funny wasn't it? He didn't think I would pull him down the way I did, did he?" Iwaki starts to chuckle with Taki and they both laugh aloud.

"I should have bit his tongue at the tip. I heard that is the most painful part, it would have served him right. However if I had just waited I could have blacken his eye causing him to need more make-up than usual."

"I heard that Katou punched him but he didn't give me any details. I have the feeling that it has something to do with you though, am I right?"

Iwaki lights a cigarette and blows out a stream of smoke as he turns to Taki. "He told you he hit Kikuchi and left it at that? I'm surprised he didn't tell you and then maybe it's not surprising. He probably thought he was protecting me."

"Protecting you, how?"

"The night I first met Kikuchi, I did a foolish thing and went with him to a traditional Japanese restaurant so we could talk. I honestly thought he wanted to talk. I mean he was a famous actor here and in America. I had seen all of his movies, I rather idolize him, and he took advantage of my naiveté. The man is an animal or that is the way he acted with me. He attacked me in the restaurant and tore my clothes. If the server had not come in when she did, I don't know what would have happen."

"To tell the truth that was the first time something like that had happen and I couldn't believe it was happening to me. Katou knew I was with him and you know how he is so when he went to work the next day and Kikuchi showed up he let loose his temper and slugged him. It was a huge mess but we were able to resolve it in the end and here I am thinking that he can be trusted. As usual I get suckered in by that man."

Taki looks at him in surprise because Katou didn't tell him any of this. "I never knew this about him, Iwaki-san. I always thought that Katou was being his usual jealous self. You know how he is about you. He doesn't like anyone to show to much interest in you. Sometimes it's cute and sometimes it's tiresome."

Iwaki gives Taki a smirk. "Why is it annoying to you Taki-kun. Shouldn't that be my line if I felt that way?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it the way it sounded I just meant that sometimes when we're out as soon as he has too much too drink he starts going on and on about you. That's when it gets kind of annoying."

"Well whatever it is I guess it's my fault he's that way. I try to tell him that he won't lose me but you know how he is when it comes to something he wants whether it's me or something else. We both know he has a one-track mind."

"But he's in love with you Iwaki-san. He loves you more than anyone, which makes you desirable to other men. When someone looks at you, what he or she sees is your cool beauty. When I see you on the screen I can see what Katou sees in you, but don't worry I'm not making a pass at you. You will never have Katou punching my lights out. I'm going to go back out and let them know that you are doing fine and you will be out shortly." He turns and heads for the door.

"Thank you Taki. You made me feel much better in your own way. I'll tell Katou he has a good friend in you." Iwaki is smiling at the younger man and for once, it reaches his eyes.

He turns at the door, "Think nothing of it Iwaki-san, it's what Katou would expect me to do." He turns and leaves out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The rest of the shoot goes along smoothly and when Iwaki went back to his trailer, he was in a better mood.

He makes it to his house just as the phone rings.

"Hello, Iwaki?"

"Katou is that you? Are you still working?"

"No love, we're finish for the day. How did the filming go?"

"It was okay but we can talk about that later. Is everything going okay for you there? I hope you're not rooming with anyone, I know you worry about your clothes." He chuckles into the phone as he removes his jacket.

"The filming went okay Iwaki-san? Are you sure?"

Iwaki sits on the side of the bed and sighs. "Well it went okay eventually. Why are you asking me that?"

"I talked to Taki and…"

"I suppose he told you what happen on the set today, is that it?"

"Yes, he did tell me. I'm sorry I wasn't there Iwaki-san. When I get back, I will make him pay for that. He only pulled that shit because I wasn't there."

Iwaki can hear the anger in his voice because he couldn't be there right now so he knows he has to divert his anger or he might not stay for the shoot.

"Look Katou, you can't always be here to defend me. I took care of it myself. Now that I know, what he is capable of it won't happen again. That was the major scene when he did get to kiss me. In a way I'm glad you were not here. You are upset and you didn't see what happen, and if you were here there might have been a fight. I did enough damage on the set without you adding to the mix. I love that you want to protect me but I'm fine. So cheer up, all right? Tell me how much you miss me instead of talking about something unpleasant."

"You're right, why don't we have phone sex!"
