Sorry about that – Chapter 20 was saved as "Last" in my Hearts Façade file, so I thought it was just that - the last. Guess I was wrong 'cuz this chapter was saved as "Final_Last". Go figure, right?
The hotel seemed to be the center of the city. Everyone who was anyone was on their way to the building to celebrate Neo Graspers latest achievement. After all, how often was it that a band sold out a whole tour in the first two weeks?
Tohma quickly made his way around the room, greeting each and every guest that walked in. He even stopped and shared words with Eiri and Shuichi when they arrived with Tokui.
Nodding silently, Tokui checked his phone every few minutes, reading the text that his lover sent him as the day went on. Though the party was getting under way, six were still missing: all the members of Neo Grasper, Hiroshi Nakano, and Chen Quon Yue.
The two later, were stuck in a shoot running long. They were lucky in the first place to even get the spot, so they weren't about to cancel it.
Back and forth the two texted, informing the other of what was going on where they were.
"Tokui," Tohma called from a few feet away. "Come here for a moment please," he said softly.
He slipped the phone back into the coat pocket of his black suit before walking up to his Father's party. "Yes Otousan?"
A smile graced the man's face. "I would like for you to call Nakano-san and ask when they will be joining us. If you don't mind that is."
"Quon Yue said that they were almost done. Then they have to go get changed because they didn't think it would run this late," he replied, fighting the urge to pull his phone back out.
Tohma smiled. "Alright, thank you." He set a hand on his sons shoulder and whispered "relax" into his ear.
Tokui looked at the elderly couple his Father was talking to, and bowed before excusing himself. Quickly he walked over to the wall, and hid in the corner while he waited for Quon Yue to arrive.
"You know Tokui," Shuichi said as he took a seat on the floor next to his nephew. "The party is more fun when you actually enjoy yourself."
He started to blush as he pulled out his phone. "I don't know any of these people and I don't want to just follow you or Eiri-ojisan around all night."
Shuichi started to laugh. "Yeah, I'll give you credit for that one. I don't want to follow him around either. So when are those two supposed to be here?"
"Soon I hope," Tokui said as he pulled his knees to his chest. "I want them to hurry though."
A shadow hovered over Tokui. "Tell him to dress nicely. I don't want to see some half naked Chinese kid running around here," Yuki mumbled as he grabbed a chair to sit in.
"Aw, the old man can't sit on the floor?" Shuichi joked.
"Go get me a drink, brat," Yuki ordered, giving the former singer a death glare.
Shuichi seemed to think for a minute. "You don't need one right now. You drink too much as it is," he said, leaning on Tokui's shoulder. "Not that you turn into Tohma when you're drinking," he paused as he heard a sneeze from across the room, "but you still aren't the nicest person in the world. Hell, you never are, but still."
Yuki stared at him coldly. "I'm not going to tell you again. Get me a drink or I'll go home."
With a sign Shuichi got up. "Fine," he said as he kissed Yuki's cheek.
Tokui looked down at his phone, quickly sending off a text. "Quon Yue said he is on his way home to change, and then he will be here," he whispered, closing the sliding phone.
"Did he tell you to relax too," Yuki asked, raising an eye brow.
Blushing he quickly averted his eyes. "Yes."
…
Finally the plane touched down. Claude quickly rushed the Neo Grasper members out, and into the waiting limo.
"Dad, why so pushy today," Alexander asked as he wrapped an arm around Amai's waits.
Laughing, the American pulled out his phone. "I was told to move you three quickly and safely to our destination. And after a month without him, I want to see Ryuichi all that much more."
Alexander hid his face in the frills of Amai's shirt, catching the unsaid words.
"I just want to go home," Saki said with a sigh. "Forget this lame dinner meeting. A nice bubble bath sounds so much better," she added, reaching for a bottle of water from the chilled storage.
"And she wonders why she doesn't have a boyfriend," Alexander mumbled in English, causing Amai to burst with laughter. He stared at her for a moment before kissing her cheek. "Dad, look away," he said, blushing slightly.
Claude smiled. "If you want to kiss her, than you should be willing to do it in front of other people."
…
He closed his eyes as he rested his head on the wall. There was nothing better for him to do until Quon Yue showed up anyways. This was possibly the only chance he had to rest for the rest of the night.
Twenty minutes past by before he got the next text. In the elevator, he read to himself with a smile. Looking up, he watched as the singer strolled into the room.
Jumping, he ran to towards the man, running into a gentleman on the way. "Sorry," Tokui said with a bow before he finished the rest of the run.
"Hey brat, watch where you are going," Quon Yue jested.
Tokui narrowed his eyes as Quon Yue had seen Yuki do any times before. "Your fault for taking all day to get here."
Quon Yue could only smile. "Sorry," he said as he hugged the younger. "They wanted to just keep re-doing the shoot. Was driving Nakano and me crazy."
"But why did Ayame make it here before you did," Tokui whispered, looking over as his step Mother.
"She had to come to great quests with your Father, dolt," he mumbled, lightly knocking the boy on the head.
Nodding, Tokui kissed the other's lips. "Right, I forgot."
"Nam," a voice said from behind Tokui.
Quon Yue looked up at the elderly couple Tokui had pushed by. "Deui 'm jyu daai yeuk kui," he said, turning Tokui around. "Say sorry," he whispered into the younger's ear.
"I'm sorry," he said, blushing a deep red.
"Bat," the man said as he pointed at Quon Yue, "nei," he said softly.
Quon Yue became confused. "Ngoh?"
The woman smiled softly. "Nei giu mut ye ming?"
"Chen Quon Yue," he said softly.
Softly she whispered something to her husband, not loud enough for either Tokui or Quon Yue to hear.
"Quon Yue, what's going on?"
He shook his head in reply. "Your guess is as good as mine, kid."
The woman switched to Japanese so everyone would understand her. "Is your Mother Lein Tai," she asked softly.
Slowly he nodded his head. "Chen Lein Tai," he corrected, adding the family name.
Silently the man sighed. "That makes you out Grandson, if I'm not mistaking. Is your Father a man named Aizawa?"
Quon Yue nodded, gripping Tokui's shoulders.
Tokui's jaw dropped. "You're related to them," he whispered.
"I…I don't know. She never talked about any relatives here…only ones back in China," he said as his eyes mixed a white with a shade of light blue. "I don't…"
Tokui looked up at him as his face hid among the many hairs on his head. "Hey Quon Yue…are you alright?"
Slowly he nodded. "Just…surprised."
"For years we have wondered what became of you both. Our daughter, Lein Tai was also a wild child. She refused to ever take her medicine, and then she would disappear for days. We thought by disowning her and forcing her to support herself she would calm down," the man said as he closed his eyes. "But she never came back. After that we lost contact with her completely."
"Jo jai, where is our daughter," the woman asked with a smile.
Quon Yue looked up as his eyes went straight sky blue. "She left to go back to China a few years ago."
"She didn't take you?"
He shook his head. "She hated me. She only left because her husband died."
Being rash, Tokui lifted his left arm up and wrapped it around his lover's neck. "Too tight," he said, talking about the fingers digging into his shoulders.
"Sorry," he whispered as he kissed Tokui's cheek.
The couple began talking to each other in Cantonese again. They seemed to be debating, but Tokui wasn't sure about what.
"Quon Yue, we have a proposition for you. Our nephew, your Mother's cousin, was originally going to take over our company many years ago. But he found a different passion in life and refused us. We will more than happily pay for schooling for you to take over for us," the man said, looking at his grandson.
Tokui's heart started to hurt. Th-they want to take Quon Yue from me…no… he thought as tears built up in his eyes. His arms returned to his side as his head fell low.
Standing straight, Quon Yue looked at the two with almost silver eyes. "Deui 'm jyu, bat gwoh… ngoh m hoh yi jo. Nei hoi sam ni do."
The woman smiled. "Fine," she said softly.
Slowly Tokui began clawing at Quon Yue's stomach.
"What kid?"
"Can't…" he moved his free hand to his throat.
His eyes went wide as they changed to violet. Quickly he picked the kid up, running off with him to the hallway. Carefully he set Tokui down, laying him straight out. "Hang on."
Yuki ran out after seeing Quon Yue dart out with his nephew. "Chen, what happened," he said as he caught up to them.
"He can't breathe," he mumbled as he got ready to force air into Tokui's body. "Hold on Tokui," he said, getting ready to pinch Tokui nose.
Tears began flowing faster. "Please…don't leave me," he said between sobs and possible breaths.
"Wouldn't think of it. You couldn't pay me to leave you, dork," he said as he pinched Tokui nose. "Now stay still," he said as he placed his lips on the others.
…
Suguru buried his face in Hiro's jacket as Tokui was rushed from the room by Quon Yue. Slowly Hiro rubbed the younger's back, whispered to him that all would be fine.
"That could have been me," he choked out after a bit.
"But it wasn't. Quon Yue and Yuki-san know how to help Tokui," he said softly. Slowly he kissed Suguru's lips. "And you are doing a wonderful job with Neo Grasper, darling."
Blushing deeply, he looked away. "Thanks Hiro." He closed his eyes as he rest his head on the others chest. "I love you."
Hiro smiled, kissing Suguru's head. "I love you too."
…
Soon Neo Grasper arrived, and the party began. Tokui was breathing normally as he walked around and helped great late arrivals. Every so often he would look at his lover, who winked back at him, causing a blush to overtake the teen.
Silently Quon Yue tugged on Tokui's jacket, pulling him into the bathroom. Locking the swinging door, he placed the teen on the counter.
Tokui leaned his head sideways, confused. "Something wrong?"
A smile sneaked on his face. "Yes. I feel like being a whore," he laughed.
Blushing Tokui tried to hide his face. "We can't do that here though," he whispered as Quon Yue started to nip at his throat. "What if someone has to come in here?"
"They can't get in, silly. I locked the door," he replied, slowly unbuttoning the younger's coat. "And I know you want me too."
"But not here…can't we get a room or something," Tokui begged, feeling his body start to react a bit.
Quon Yue couldn't help but laugh. Reaching into his back pocket, he pulled out a plastic card. "You mean like this one I reserved last week?"
"Yes, like that…really? Last week?"
Pulling back, he looked at his pray with diligent eyes. "Of course; that and it's all prepared for us. Even have changes of clothes and everything."
Tokui's eyes went wide. "So that's where my missing clothes went."
Their lips crashed together. "I get to have my fun, Tokui. This is my vacation, and I'm calling the shots."
"But…why so much so soon," he asked softly.
Rather than kissing Tokui's lips, he kissed the teen's forehead this time. "I'm going in for that surgery in five days. I know its spur of the moment, but that's when they could get me in." He watched as Tokui's eyes went wide and started to glaze over with tears. "With that said, I want to relax with you for a few days. And then while I'm in surgery, I want to know you aren't worried something is going to go wrong."
"What if something does though…I don't want to lose you," he said, falling on the older. "Please don't leave me."
"Anyone tell you that you worry too much?"
Tokui shook his head as he cried.
Quon Yue sighed softly. "I won't leave you. The worse case scenario is they have to cut my arms off. I won't die from a surgery this lame." He wrapped his arms around the younger. "I won't leave you, we've been over this. I love you too much."
…
Out of respect I should probably translate the Cantonese conversation…but I honestly don't remember what it says o.O Sorry, left that paper in Washington when I moved.
Basically they ask Quon Yue his name (And if you didn't get that, it's sad) than he refuses the offer presented.
And with that, I am done.
