YAY!! Chapter Seven is upon us and Sakano is spiraling into a massive
depression. Who will bring him back to earth? Tohma Seguchi, able to offer
Sakano the world and more or K, the love of Sakano's life who lied to him
for so long? I know, I know. It sounds so angsty and crap, but hey, you
gotta do what you gotta do, right? Oh, and by the way, look for a new
pairing in coming chapters ::drools over Sakuma:: Who's it gonna be? Read
on and review and have fun reading about Sakano's pain (j/k.well, not
really. Okay, I'm really done this time. See ya at the end!)
Chapter Seven: Money or Love?
Sakano laid on his couch, it had been a tough day at work. Nothing was going right with Bad Luck. Sakano and K had to work very close together in order to get things done around Nittle Grasper studios, but for the last few days, K had been absent. Sakano hadn't said one word about him ever since he returned to work. Was it healthy to ignore such strong feelings? Probably not, but it was the only way Sakano could cope with the loss that he suffered. K never existed to him. He was still a twenty nine year old virgin who had no life outside of work. He liked it that way, it worked without flaw for twenty odd years.
His doorbell rang. He considered not opening it. He was too depressed to even get off the couch. His anxiety medication wasn't even helping to ease the pain. Or maybe it was? He hadn't taken a steak knife to his wrists yet, so they must have been working their magic. Sakano pushed himself from the couch and stumbled to the door, wearing the pajamas that K had loaned him. They still smelled of his cologne. Sakano had yet to wash them. The doorbell rang again and he turned the knob, opening the door. To his utter shock and surprise, Tohma Seguchi stood at his door, smiling. What in the world could he want with Sakano now?
* * *
"I thought I told you to leave the two of them alone?" Yuki said, staring at Suuichi and Ryuichi. The two men had been scheming all day, trying to devise a plan to get Sakano and K back together again. Their plan? To find a man to hit on and seduce either K or Sakano so the other would be jealous and confront their fated lover. The only problem was that they needed to find someone to play the part of the seducer. If only they knew someone that Sakano and K would never expect...
"YUKI!" A voice from a far yelled, a pounding making the door shake, "Come ON! Let me in!! Would you really keep your dear brother out in the cold like this?! Come ON, it's cold out here!!"
Suuichi's eyes widened as he looked over at Sakuma. He grabbed the wide eyed starlet and ran with him into the bed room. Tatsuha Uesugi, Yuki's little brother. He couldn't have come at a better or worse time. On one hand, they had found their gunman. Tatsuha was just crazy like that. He would have great fun playing this little game. On the other hand, he would sell his soul to see Sakuma on videotape, let alone see him in person. This was a bad situation indeed.
"Konnichiwa, Yuki! I was just in neighborhood and decided to come by and see my dear brother!" Tatsuha said, giving Yuki a large bear hug, "By the way, is Suuichi home?"
Yuki cocked an eyebrow, remembering the last time that Tatsuha had been with Suuichi. He had tried sleeping with him, insisting that he felt like Sakuma Ryuichi. His brother was obsessed with that boy. Yuki sighed a little, they were so alike and so different at the same time. He made fun of his brother for wanting a man like Sakuma when at the same time he was sleeping with a boy like Suuichi.
"Konnichiwa, Tatsuha!" Suuichi said, walking into the room from the bedroom, "How have you been!"
It was time for Suuichi to do some major acting. Sakuma wasn't going to stay put in that room for very long. He needed to secure Tatsuha as a major part of plan B. Plan B was so important to the cause for he knew Sakano wasn't going to agree to Plan A. K might, Sakano would never.
"So, Tatsuha-" Tatsuha rushed up to Suuichi and pulled him in for a hug, almost crushing his bones.
"Wait a second," Tatsuha said, smelling Suuichi's hair and gasping, "Y-y-y- y-you're wearing Sakuma Ryuichi's cologne!! OH MY GOD! WHERE DID YOU GET IT?!?! I HAVE TO GET SOME!! WHERE?!" he shook Suuichi until a door opened from inside the hall.
"SUUICHI!" Sakuma screamed, running from the bedroom, "S-S-S-SPIDER!!!"
Tatsuha froze in place at seeing the boy. He had been waiting for this moment his whole life and now, here he was, in his brother's apartment. So close yet so far.
"Yes, Tatsuha. Sakuma Ryuichi is here," Suuichi said as Tatsuha began to drool, "You wanna hug him?" he nodded, "Kiss him?" he nodded harder, "Do things with him that we can't mention in a PG-13 fic?" He nodded his hardest, "Well then, you have to help US out with a little dilemma."
"Fine, whatever it is, I'll do it. Just as long as I get time alone with Ryuichi!"
"Great. Here's our plan..."
* * *
"Konnichiwa, Sakano-kun," he said, entering the apartment, "How are you doing?"
Sakano just looked over at him and the manager laughed, sitting in the very spot where Sakano had been sitting just moments ago. He patted the seat next to him and Sakano, without hesitation, walked over to his idol and sat next to him, placing his head on his shoulder. Tohma stroked the side of his face with a gloved hand and smelled his hair. It smelled clean. A beautiful smell indeed.
"I just can't get over him," Sakano said, feeling that all to familiar lump in his throat, "Now that he stopped calling and coming to work...It's over. It was the best time of my life and it's over. I don't even want to live anymore, Seguchi-sama. I don't have a purpose without him. It hurts so badly..."
Tears began to flow as if from a faucet. Tohma took this chance to lift Sakano's face to meet his. He slid Sakano's glasses from his face and ran his fingers through his hair again. On a normal day, given normal circumstances, Sakano would have stopped him, telling him how inappropriate it was. But it was not a normal day, and those were not normal circumstances.
Tohma kissed Sakano's eyes, wiping away his tears. He clutched Sakano's hands, his soul grinning. He knew he would go to Hell for taking advantage of such an innocent flower, but it would be worth it. And eternity in the fiery depths of Hell was an equal trade for a few hours in the fiery depths of Sakano's body, he was sure about that. Tohma moved from Sakano's eyes to lips. At first, the dark haired boy wouldn't let him in, but with some persistence, Tohma got his way. And even after a few minutes of one sided snogs, Sakano gave into the moment. Tohma pushed him down on his back. He was living his fantasy.
Sakano was too exhausted from crying about K to care about the things that Seguchi was doing to him. He just didn't care anymore. His body and soul were nothing without K in his life. If Seguchi wanted to make love to him, so be it. Tohma was a lot rougher then K, his kisses were painful and quick. Ravishing. He held on to Sakano's wrists so hard that Sakano could barely feel his fingers. This pain. It was new to him. It was exciting and scary and brilliant. He wanted it more then anything, but doing it with K would have been much better. He thought about that as Seguchi began to undress.
Why wasn't K calling anymore? Had he given up on trying to apologize for what he had done? Had he given up on the relationship? Sakano's thoughts were interrupted as Seguchi slid his naked hands up his shirt, removing it, making Sakano's flesh bump up because of the cold. K had always been able to keep him warm, even on the coldest of nights. Seguchi was cold at heart so his passion was as well. Sakano gasped as Seguchi's warm lips touched the flesh of his chest, sending a shock through Sakano's spine. He arched his back a little; eyes tightly shut and nails digging into Seguchi's soft skin. He screamed out a little, not knowing or caring who's name he called.
Tohma loved seeing him this way. He was so helpless and he was groping for his touch. It was absolutely yummy. He debated whether or not to put his clothes back on and leave, to leave Sakano lying there all exposed and passionate. No, that was too cruel even for him. He kissed Sakano lightly on the stomach, sliding his hands up Sakano's legs, stopping at his hips. He began to untie the drawstring that held Sakano's pants up, loosening them until they were hanging off of him. Seguchi looked up at Sakano, grinning at the sight of his dark haired employee.
"Please, Seguchi-sama..." he heaved, grabbing one of Tohma's hands and clutching it tightly. Tohma smiled at the sound of Sakano's begging, "Please don't let me do this."
"It will be good for you, Sakano-kun," he said, slowly sliding his fingers around the elastic in Sakano's pants, "You need to experience people other then K. Believe me. I've been married for some time now and-"
"Please don't tell K," Sakano said, the tears rolling down his cheeks, "Please, Seguchi-sama. I can't help myself tonight, it's going to happen. Please..." he inhaled as Seguchi began to slide his pants down his soft skin, "don't tell K."
The telephone rang and even though he wanted this and needed this, he couldn't pass up a phone call. It could be one of the Bad Luck boys in need of his assistance or even better. It could be K.
"Moshi Moshi?" he said, voice trembling and body tense as Seguchi looked up and began to kiss Sakano's neck. He wanted all of Sakano's attention before he ventured off into his lower regions, "What? K wants to see me? Look, Shindou-kun, I appreciate you delivering this message to me, but I'm not going to see him. He needs me? Well, I needed him too, you know? I loved...love him. I can't let him hurt me again, my body can't take it. Please tell him that I wont come and that from now on our relationship is completely professional. Good-night."
He hung up the phone and no matter how hard he tried, the fear was eating away at him. He had a choice to make. One, he could make love to a gorgeous human being who was more then willing to love him the way he wanted to be loved. Or Two, to go and wait, possibly for hours, for K to show up and to spend the night screaming at him or crying or saying nothing at all. But what if K said he was sorry and wanted to take him back? Could he risk the chance of losing him because of sheer pessimism? Either way, the decision had to be made. He looked into the clear, ocean eyes of his Seguchi-sama and then back at the phone. He had no idea what the right choice was, but he had to make one anyway.
"Seguchi-sama..."
Hehehe, I'm sorry guys. I HAD to have a cliffhanger SOME where in this story and here it is. Now, I REALLY want to hear what you have to think so PLEASE review. Should Sakano have a night of passion with Tohma? Or should he go and see K before Suuichi puts the second part of his plan into play? And what about the sudden arrival of Tatsuha? Does that mean that maybe, just maybe, Sakuma will have a little romance in the chapters to come? I dunno, read chapter eight. See ya there. Oh yes, and don't forget to review. I'll love ya forever if ya do. Ciao!
