Since I didn't mention F4 at all in the last chapter, here they are now. I apologize if they seem a bit out of character and if Akira seems like a whiny dickhead. And if its not really coherent, I also apologize, I wrote this chapter at work and I had to switch the screen once in awhile when the boss came to check up on me! If too many people complain, I'll fix it up!

Disclaimer: I don't own HYD in any way; I am just borrowing its characters to write up a story!

Chapter 2

F4 - all at some bar drinking.

"What!?! You gave 3 of our VIP tickets to some girl?" Soujirou! What's wrong with you? Those were our tickets! How am I gonna bring my ladies in if you gave our tickets to that girl?" Akira picked up his Vodka and sculled it.

Akira was definitely not too happy. Seeing that his own drink was empty. He looked around for another one. Since nobody ever touched anything that belonged to Doumyouji, he picked up Rui's drink and sculled that as well.

" You don't mind do you Rui?"

As usual, Rui showed no reaction. He just stood up, walked over to the Bar and ordered another drink.

"Aii.... 3 tickets... And I was planning to bring in at least two ladies!"

"Akira. Shut up. Why are so uptight about a couple of tickets? We are the F4! Whether we have tickets or not, are those people not going to let us in? I don't know about you, but I, Doumyouji Tsukasa has never been rejected from any place in my entire life. Bring those two ladies. If they don't let us in, I will... I'll buy out the place or something."

Doumyouji looked pleased with his own idea.

Akira thought about it. Unconsciously, he picked up Rui's (new) drink and took another a swig. Rui just looked at him, sighed, stood up and went over to buy another one.

"Hmm.... yeah huh... wow, Doumyouji, you actually said something plausible for once! hahaha!"

Doumyouji looked smug, until he realized that it was more of an insult than a compliment.

"Hey!... What do you mean 'for once'?"

Seeing the look on Doumyouji's face, he quickly changed the subject.

"Hey Soujirou, Who's this chick you're going out with anyway? Have I seen her before? Or is she another one of your High School kiddies? " Akira looked directly at Soujirou.

Soujirou just had this weird dreamy look on his face. He remained strangely quiet.

"Soujirou......................"

No reaction

Akira squinted at him from across the table.

"Soujirou, what's that look supposed to mean. say something!"

Then something dawned on him.

"Whoaaahh...... The GREAT EITOKU PLAYBOY has finally fallen under the charm of a lady?"

Akira pissed himself laughing.

"I thought you said you'd never fall in love!"

He walked over to Soujirou and slapped him on the back.

"So what's she like? Name? How far have you gone? Whoah... she must be reallllll good in bed for u to like her so much!"

"Actually, I haven't slept with her yet."

Akira was shocked.

"What!?! Not yet? MUahhahahahaha.... is the GREAT NISHIKADO SOUJIROU losing his touch?"

Akira started laughing again. Then proceeded to pick up Rui's drink again.

"Shut up Akira, I am NOT IN LOVE with her. I'm interested. I met her at Uni, she's on scholarship, so she has a brain. Yuuki....is different. I have this strange feeling when I am around her, never feel like this way when I am around other girls. She isn't like the others, it took me two weeks to convince her to go out with me. And since she was only available this Friday night, i decided to take her to Blue Butterfly. she said that she has never been to a rave before, so I had to give her another two tickets so she could take her friends along."

"What? she's never been to a club before? At our age? Hahaha... and you're gonna tell me she is a virgin as well!"

Akira started to reach for Rui's drink, Rui handed it to him. Akira started drinking just as Soujirou said,

"Actually, She is"

Saliva, alcohol, and Salty water ( which Rui asked the bartender to mix into the drink) came spraying out across the table at Doumyouji.

It was Soujirou's turn to laugh.

Doumyouji was not happy.

"What the..!! AKIRA you wanna die?"

"Shit, sorry Doumyouji, I didn't mean to spit it at you . Rui ! why the hell are you drinking Salty Alcohol?

Rui just smiled. ( Not too innocently I might add)

"Humph" Doumyouji, increasingly pissed.

Soujirou handed Doumyouji a napkin.

"Anyway.........Wow Soujirou, you're going for a virgin. Then she must be different. She the innocent type or something?"

" Not everybody like experienced women only you know! She is different and I don't want to rush her."

"You DON'T want to rush her? What happened to the one week expiry date?"

Shrug " Hmm... maybe I am maturing or something. I actually want to try a somewhat longer-term relationship. I'll.... I'll give it a month or something... You can't fall in love in a month right?"

F4 looked at each other.

SILENCE

" I don't know, you know, now I think about it I don't think I have ever seriously been in love."

"Me neither."

"Hmm... wonder what being in love feels like."

Akira picked up Soujirou's drink.

SILENCE

F4 sat there, thinking to themselves.... until Doumyouji burst out:

"What? That's so sad! You two have had soooo many girlfriends and stuff, you have never been in love with any of them? So why'd you go out with them?"

"mmm... Sex maybe? female companionship? You know Doumyouji, unlike you we have lost our virginity. Since we aren't gay, it is necessary to find girls to enjoy ourselves with from time to time. Love has nothing to do with anything. Anyway, trying to get a girl is almost like a game, and it makes us happy when we win."

"Akira, that is sooo crude, that makes us sound so beast like, and insensitive."

"Is it not true though?"

Soujirou opened his mouth to start denying it, but nothing came out as he knew Akira was right.

"Love.... hurts...."

Everybody stared at Rui.. Rui stood up and started walking off.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Home, Sleep"

"Leave him Doumyouji, he is obviously thinking about Shizuka again."

"oh."

SILENCE

Akira looked around.

"Hey, my drink is empty, when'd that happen? Gonna go buy some more drinks."

Akira walks off to buy drinks. Only Doumyouji and Soujirou are left.

"You really like this chick huh?"

"I don't know, guess I am just interested in her. So, you interested in anyone Doumyouji?"

Akira comes back with the drinks.

"What'd I miss?"

"Nothing, just asking who Doumyouji is interested in."

"What! Doumyouji is interested in someone? Whoaaaa!!!!"

"NO I AM NOT! I haven't met anybody worthy of going out with me yet. All girls want from me, us, is either money or status, what's the point?"

"Wow. Doumyouji made another realization tonight. His brain has finally started working!"

"Akira..!!!!'

"hahahaha... just joking! ok, let's change the topic. Why don't you want to lose your virginity? I mean, do you ever even think about sex? You can admit it, it's a very natural thing!"

Doumyouji started going red, though it was hard to tell whether from anger or embarrassment. He hates the virginity topic.

"Why do we always talk about my virginity? It's not that I don't think about sex, nor that I don't want to lose it, but like, how can you just sleep with somebody that you have no feelings for what so ever?

"hmm... Doumyouji makes another point. yeah, how can we Soujirou?"

"I dunno, we're drunk half the time? It feels good? I dunno. Being at a hotel room is better than being at home?"

A moment of awkwardness at that last comment.

"Well, I'll definitely agree with the being drunk and 'it feels good" part."

SILENCE

"Anyway, do you know who your chick is going to bring with her?"

"Not too sure, but I think it might be this girl called Makino Tsukushi. She's her best friend or sumthing."

"She hot?"

"Yuuki's cuter"

"Humph... how can you like working class poor girls?

"Doumyouji, a girl's a girl's. Who cares if they are poor or not? not like we are gonna marry them!"

"Whatever"

Doumyouji obviously was not listening to Akira and Soujirou anymore.

Akira mutters " I'd laugh if Doumyouji ends up falling for a working class girl."

Soujirou laughs.

"I heard that! It won't happen!"

"Calm down! Geez... I was just joking!

Akira picks up his drink,

"Damn, there's no more!"

Soujirou stood up.

"Hey, Soujirou, buy me another while your up."

" Nah, I want to go home now. I might actually turn up to my accounting test tomorrow. It's at 9 in the morning."

"hahaha... Soujirou, going to class? That's a first!"

Soujirou smiled.

"Yuuki's in my accounting class. Ja ne!"

Soujirou leaves.

Only Akira and Tsukasa left.

"Wow, our jirou is in love. I gotta see this chick tomorrow night! You're coming rite?"

"Yeah, I guess. There's nothing else to do anyway. But going to clubs is so boring as well, you and Soujirou end up running off with your current girlfriends and leave Rui and I sitting there with annoying pesky girls who just wont rack off. Then Rui leaves to go home so he can sleep for 15 hours and I am left alone."

"Well... find a girl to amuse yourself with then. Anyway... I am sure that tomorrow night will be interesting, we get to see Soujirou's Yuuki at least. "

Akira yawns.

"Let's go. I am getting tired as well. You need to drive me home tonight."

They both leave the Bar
Author's notes: I would just like to say that I seriously think that Soujirou has a problem with falling in love. I think he sees it as a bad thing because as Rui said, "love hurts". This problem with love should derive from Soujirou's family problems at home. He sees his mother, who is in love with his father constantly getting hurt. So in order to prevent himself from getting hurt, he tries not to fall in love. Hence, the reason for his womanizing ways. The rest of the F4 understand this, that's why they are surprised when he says he wants to try a longer relationship.
