"I can't believe
it! Not only is this our first show, but I heard there was a talent
scout here tonight! Which means maybe, if they like us, this could be
a big break, already! And there's no way they won't like us! This is
great!" Yusuke eagerly informed Kuwabara, Hiei, and Touya. They
were sitting in the back of Yusuke's car with their instruments;
thank god The Pulse supplied the amps, mics and what not so they
didn't have to bring all that; And Yusuke was trying to get them all
excited for the performance. However, Touya looked less than
thrilled.
While
the other two began setting up, Yusuke confronted Touya. "What's
wrong? You seem upset, Toy-chan."
Touya
grinned slightly at the nickname, he'd grown accustomed to it easily,
but no one but Yusuke was allowed to call him that. "I. I'm not
sure I can stand and sing in front of all those people. Those songs
are so much of me, to go up and sing them in front of everyone. I
feel like I'm about to go stand naked in front of a
mob."
Yusuke
grinned at Touya. "So you're not perfect after all, you've got
stage fright. I had wondered, you know. And I had an idea beforehand,
hold the shock please." Touya snickered.
"You
thought ahead?" He questioned, dodging the playful slap Yusuke
directed at him.
"Don't
start that, Toy-chan." Yusuke grinned lopsidedly, pulling some
light blue fabric from his pocket. "Turn around," he said,
and Touya complied. Yusuke then pulled the light blue fabric over the
bridge of Touya's nose, and Touya realized it to be a semi-sheer
veil. Yusuke tied it in back, firm so not to come loose, but careful
not to tie it to hard, in such manner as might hurt Touya. "Let's
see," he said when finished.
Touya
turned back around to face Yusuke, smiling underneath the veil.
Yusuke could just make out the smile through the thin cloth, but he
knew that in the dark, no one would be able to make out any details
of Touya's face from his eyes down. The red mark on Touya's cheek
peeked just up above the edge of the cloth, but not particularly
noticeable, since most was still hidden. Yusuke's grin grew by a
degree, as he said, "Good. No one will be able to see a thing.
So you can still have your privacy."
Touya
hugged Yusuke, whispering his thanks. Hiei poked his head out of The
Pulse, calling out- "Touya, Yusuke, come on, time to rock!"
They were both shocked to hear excitement in Hiei's voice, and a
gleam in his eyes they thought only came about in
battle.
Yusuke
looked at Touya, unrestrained adrenaline evident, "Let's go!"
He raced in to The Pulse and Touya followed, almost as quickly.
