"What do you mean he went down the hall to get it himself?! That's supposed to be your job!" Noriko shouted at hotel security.
The uniformed guards tried to remain calm despite the fact that they were flustered and exhausted from their duty of watching over the stubborn dark haired vocalist Ryuuichi Sakuma. Although they had been thrilled at first to acquire such a high profile client, Ryuuichi's childish demands at all hours of the day and night had caused them to lose most of their patience.
They had to keep in mind that Ryuuichi resented having to be cooped up in his hotel room, unable to roam freely because of his celebrity. He had an assortment of costumes for whenever he wanted to go out, but those times were few and far between. Very rarely did he venture in public without one of his costumes, but there was no evidence that he had changed into one to fetch himself some spring water from the dispense in the hotel lobby.
"We tried to stop him. Honestly, we did. You know how determained Mr. Sakuma can be when he wants something." one of the guards said.
"Did somebody say my name?" a voice asked.
Noriko angerily lunged towards her bandmate, grabbing a handful of his jacket in her hands. "What the hell is wrong with you? You're not supposed to just take off like that! What were you thinking?" she asked Ryuuichi.
"I'm sorry about that, Noriko-chan. I was just craving some fresh cold spring water. It felt great to get out for a few minutes and stretch. I met the nicest young fans downstairs who helped me find the lobby and everything." Ryuuichi said.
Noriko sighed. "Well, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, but I wish you would have let secruity do that for you. At least you won't be late for your meeting with Touma now." she said.
Ryuuichi's eyes widened. "Seguchi-san's coming just to see me? I didn't know we had to have meetings for that." he commented.
"Of course we do. You know that Touma is a very busy man nowadays. We're just fortunate that he decided to go along with this whim of yours to get the band back together." she told him.
"I've had no regrets since either. I never intended for Nittle Grasper to be disbanded forever." Touma said, walking into the room.
"Hello Touma." Noriko said.
"Hi, Seguchi-san!" Ryuuichi said cheerfully.
Touma waved a gloved hand at the two officers. "The two of you may leave now. I'll call for you when you are needed." he said.
"Yes sir, Mr. Seguchi." they said in unison.
"Hello Noriko, Ryuuichi. It's nice to see the two of you as always. I've come today to let you know, Ryuuichi, that I've done some thinking about what you asked me about the other day. Why don't you and I speak privately?" Touma asked him.
"If that's okay with Noriko-chan." Ryuuichi said, taking a swallow of his water.
"It's fine with me." Noriko said.
Touma threw his arm across Ryuuichi's shoulders. "Good. We won't be long." Touma said with a smile.
Touma led his bandmate into his private room, where Ryuuichi quickly claimed a nearby chair as his own, wrapping the chenille throw on the back around his shoulders.
"Do you remember a young man named Tatsuha Usegi?" Touma asked him.
"Um, let's see...the name sounds familiar. Is he a relation of yours or one of my fans?" he asked.
Touma laughed. "Actually, he's both. Tatsuha's my brother-in-law, Eiri and Mika's younger brother. He's one of your most dedicated fans, Sakuma-san. when you and I talked before about finding you a personal bodyguard, I thought I might offer the job to him. Since he's family, I have no doubts about trusting him and I'm pretty sure he will be more than willing to give in to any of your many needs unlike some of your previous guards." Touma asked.
"He's okay with wearing the costumes?" Ryuuichi asked.
"Well, I haven't told him about that yet, but I told him that accepting him as such would be up to you." Touma said.
"Well, I guess that'll be okay if you trust him. So tell me, what does he look like?" Ryuuichi asked.
"Well, he's about six feet tall, with shaggy black hair and dark eyes. He kinda looks like a dark haired Yuki if he were younger. I think this will work out perfectly. You'll finally be able to go out and enjoy yourself with someone who will appreciate your company." Touma said.
Ryuuichi nodded. "I'm glad. All of these rental cops were starting to suffocate me." he said.
Touma nodded, understanding completely. After everything the two fo them had been through over the years, he fiqured he owed Ryuuichi this, a small taste of freedom along with fullfilling a young teens' wish to be close to his idol.
"Thank you, Touma. It means a lot that you did this." Ryuuichi said.
Touma smiled. "You're welcome, Sakuma-san." he said.
He thought the night would never end. Tatsuh agrunted as he tossed and turned in bed, reaching out to catch the time on his bedside clock. It was almost three a.m. and in less than seven hours he would be meeting Ryuuichi Sakuma pretty much for the first time.
He and his idol had actually met a few times before, but never long enough to consider it a true meeting and he knew he would have to rein himself in around the singer so he wouldn't be uncomfortable. He wondered just how well they would get to know each other over the summer, if it was even possible that his fantasties about Ryuuichi would come true.
He was in love with the man, just like Shuichi had been, the reason they had both come out. As far as he was concerned, his affection for Ryuuichi went beyond hero worship. He sincerely loved the man with all of his heart and perhaps this was fate's way of finally bringing them together.
To be close to his idol, it was worth it to him to have to carry a cellphone at all times in case Ryuuichi was needed while out on an outing. He wouldn't even mind late night trip to the convience store or joyrides on his motorcycle as long as they were together. Tatsuha sighed as he forced himself to fall asleep, knowing doing so would make the fateful moment come sooner...
"I have to wear..this?" Tatsuha asked, as he dangled the dark purple teddy bear costume from his hands.
Noriko frowned at him, crossing her arms in front of her. "Is that a problem?" she asked.
Tatsuha laughed nervously, scraching the back of his head. "Of course not! I'm just glad I don't have to wear the one Ryuuichi's going to wear, that pink fuzzy bunny one." he said.
"Actually, Ryuuichi picked out both of those personally. It's like he has a costume fetish or something." Noriko laughed.
Their heads turned as Touma walked into the room, followed by Ryuuichi, who was clutching his stuffed bunny Kumagoro as always. Tatsuha swallowed hard at what his idol was wearing, a black ensemble consisting of a black midriff top, black leather pants and black leather jacket. The scent of honeysuckle and musk wafted over his senses, a sweet, flowery that was enticely male.
"Oh good, you made it in time. Let me introduce the two of you. Tatsuha Usegi, this is Ryuuichi Sakuma. Ryuuichi, this is my brother-in-law Tatsuha." Touma said.
"You don't look anything like your brother Yuki. You're much more handsome than I thought you would be." Ryuuichi said.
Tatsuha blushed furiously. "Um...thank you. It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Sakuma." he said.
"Call me Ryuuichi. I mean, we should get to know each other pretty well since we'll be spending so much time together, right? I promise not to be too demanding if you can try to be patient with me. I have a tendency to get under secruity's skin." Ryuuichi said.
"I'm prepared for whatever you want or need me to do." Tatsuha said.
Ryuuichi smiled. "Good. You can start by helping me off with this jacket, if you don't mind." he said.
Tatsuha stifled his hard exhale as he helped ease the jacket from his idol's shoulders, easing his arms from the sleeves. He couldn't help but notice the taunt muscles of Ryuuichi's flat stomach exposed by the skimpy top. He loved that Ryuuichi was comfortable flaunting his body, but Tatsuha was afraid continued exposure to such temptation would cause him to show skin of his own against his will. So lost in those thoughts, he hadn't even noticed that Ryuuichi had put on the bunny costume.
"Do you need help with yours?" he asked Tatsuha.
Unable to find his voice to answer, Tatsuha stared at Ryuuichi in the costume, finding that he was more drawn to him than ever. He looked so damn cute as a fluffy pink bunny, with his hair sticking out the front and his face obscured by a matching plastic nose and whiskers.
It took Ryuuichi's innocence factor that he possessed and raised it several levels, his dark eyes childlike as he helped Tatsuha step into the legs of the bear costume and drew the rest across his chest and shoulders. This snapped Tatsuha out of his thoughts again, as his eyes met Ryuuichi's and held as he allowed the older man to finish dressing him. Ryuuichi brushed the nosepiece into place and beeped his bodyguard's nose playfully.
"All done." Ryuuichi said.
Tatsuha exhaled with a soft sigh as Ryuuichi smiled at him, stepping back to take a look at both of them.
"Looks like you're ready to go to the zoo. Have fun and relax today, Sakuma- san." Touma said.
"I'm sure Tatsuha and I will have a great time." Ryuuichi said confidently.
"What do you mean he went down the hall to get it himself?! That's supposed to be your job!" Noriko shouted at hotel security.
