AN: This is the last chapter! See you at the bottom! Again, thanks to my wonderful beta, Neko Kate-chan!
Shuichi hesitated for a second before raising his arm to ring the doorbell. He stood with his boyfriend at the front door of his house, and the vocalist was scared. He hadn't wanted to come to Mika's party, but he knew that if he didn't, he and Eiri would never hear the end of it. Therefore, the two men stood on the doorstep, waiting for one of the Shindous to answer the door.
The door swung open, and Shuichi was greeted with an enthusiastic hug from his mother. The pink haired man pulled away gently, not wanting to upset his mother. Fortunately, Minako was not upset. Instead, she happily glomped onto Eiri, who looked at his boyfriend with a pained expression. Shuichi looked helplessly at the blonde, silently mouthing "Sorry" to the older man.
When Minako released Eiri, the blonde man quickly moved beside Shuichi, quickly taking his hand and walking into the house. Minako trailed happily behind, smiling mischievously.
Quickly, Shuichi's mother shut and locked the door. Looking around the semi-crowded room, she caught Mika's eye, and then Maiko's. All three women smiled at each other. They had known that Shuichi and Eiri would try to leave as soon as possible, so the three women had concocted a scheme that prevented them from leaving the house. All it had taken to put in action was a little pouting from Mika, and Tohma had caved and given into their request.
Mika walked briskly to where her younger brother stood holding hands with BAD LUCK's vocalist. Plastering a smile on her face, Mika greeted her brother. "Eiri, you came," she said pleasantly.
"Not like we had much of a choice," was the muttered reply.
Deciding that it was now or never, Mika embraced her brother. Startled, Eiri stiffened, deciding that if his older sister were embracing him, she wanted something. There was a soft click, and then the unmistakable feeling of cold metal against his neck.
Meanwhile, Maiko had decided to use a different tactic with her older brother. "Aniki!" she squealed, quickly glomping onto the vocalist. She felt her brother wrap his arms around her, more to steady himself and prevent her from falling rather than actually returning the embrace.
Suguru walked up then, a metal bracelet in his hand. Shooting Shuichi an apologetic look, he quickly fastened the metal bracelet around his lead singer's right wrist. Maiko disentangled herself from Shuichi, a huge smile plastered on her face.
"What's this?" the pink haired man asked cautiously.
Maiko's smile grew wider. "It's a bracelet, aniki."
Shuichi closed his eyes, trying to keep from losing his temper. "I know that, Maiko-chan, but what I want to know is why it's on me."
Maiko giggled, and Suguru tried to make himself smaller. "Mika-san can explain." With that said, the younger Shindou child turned to where Mika stood. "If you would please explain to my dear aniki what this bracelet does."
Mika smiled, pleasure evident in her eyes. "Of course. Well, your bracelet is one of a set of four, Shuichi-kun. There are two bracelets, one of which you're wearing. Tatsuha is wearing the other one. There are also two necklaces, one of which Eiri-kun is wearing, and one of which Father is wearing." Eiri glared at his sister. He had known as soon as he had felt the metal what these were, and he was not happy at all. Mika smiled sweetly at her brother and continued. "These devices are programmed to keep people form entering certain areas. In your cases, it's to keep you from leaving until I say it's okay."
Shuichi's eyes bugged out. "Mika-san! That's not fair! You can't keep us here against our will!" As if to prove his point, the pink haired singer walked to the front door. Noticing that it was locked, he undid the deadbolt and opened the door. Looking back with a defiant expression on his face, he crossed the threshold and stepped onto the porch.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" Shuichi ran inside the house, visibly relaxing as soon as he was past the threshold and inside the entryway.
"As I was trying to say before you interrupted me," Mika smirked, "the device was created to give a nasty electric shock to whoever is wearing the jewelry if they step inside the designated area."
"In other words," Eiri growled, "if we try to leave without their permission, we get electrocuted."
Shuichi sulked, quietly rubbing his arm as if he were trying to bring back feeling in it. He hadn't expected his mother and Mika to try to keep them at the party. He and Eiri had just thought that they'd be happy that they actually showed up. Sighing, Shuichi joined his boyfriend, pouting cutely at Mika, who just cocked an eyebrow.
"You're not leaving until I say you can. After all, I have the keys and control panel." She smiled. She knew that Eiri wouldn't try to leave; after all, it was because of his antics that these devices were created in the first place.
Mika suddenly noticed that the two men were carrying neatly wrapped packages. Her smile grew as she reached out to grab them. Eiri, who had seen the shift in his older sister's eyes, quickly pulled the present and his boyfriend out of range. "No, Mika. You'll get them when you open the rest of the presents." With that said, Eiri half dragged Shuichi to a table on the other side of the room that was heaped with presents. Quickly, Eiri and Shuichi added theirs to the stack.
The pink haired vocalist had decided as soon as he had agreed to go to the party that he was going to hide out in his old room, but before he could suggest it to Eiri, Noriko and Ryuichi Sakuma cornered the two of them. Shuichi quickly looked around, knowing that wherever there is a Ryuichi, there is usually a Tatsuha. Not seeing the dark haired teen, he relaxed. "Ohayo Sakuma-san, Noriko-chan."
"Shu-kun!" Ryuichi squealed. "I told you already not to call me 'Sakuma-san.' It makes me sound old," the thirty-three year old singer pouted.
Shuichi smiled. "Hai, gomen Ryuichi-san." Suddenly, there was a pink blur and Ryuichi's famous teddy bear was in the pop singer's face. "Ohayo Kumagoro-chan!" he greeted.
"Kuma-chan says ohayo Shuichi-kun!" replied Ryuichi.
"Ohayo Shuichi-kun. How goes everything?" Noriko, deciding to take advantage of Ryuichi's silence, asked. She hadn't seen her old lead singer for a few years. The two bands did so much touring and promotional spots that meeting up had become impossible. The only time they ever really saw each other was when they ran into each other at TV stations and benefit concerts.
"Great, Noriko-chan. We just finished up our next CD, and K is giving us two weeks off to relax," responded the younger man.
"Oh, I wish we had some time off," she wistfully replied. "I haven't spent time with my husband and daughter in ages. Besides, it would be nice to get away from Tohma. He's been in a bad mood lately," she whispered confidentially.
"When isn't he," muttered Eiri. A sharp nudge in the ribs from his boyfriend was his response. "What? It's the truth."
Shuichi was about to respond when he suddenly spotted Tatsuha. The dark haired teen was searching the room intently, as if looking for something. Shuichi had a feeling that he knew what that something was. As if sensing the pink haired singer's thoughts, the young monk looked at him. Upon spotting the group, his eyes fell upon Ryuichi and lit up.
"Oh Ryu-chan!" he sang out. "I found you!"
Ryuichi let out a little squeal of delight as he felt Tatsuha's arms wrap around his waist. He sighed contentedly when the monk began nipping along his jaw line.
Noriko sighed. "Get a room, you two," she said in exasperation. To Eiri and Shuichi, she explained, "The two of them got together after we invited him to dinner for our reunion anniversary. They've been this way since," she finished in disgust.
Tatsuha and Ryuichi weren't paying attention to the rest of them, instead focusing on each other. Eiri sighed. He wasn't allowed to do that with Shuichi, so why was Tatsuha allowed to do that with Ryuichi? A thought came into his mind when he noticed the silver bracelet around his brother's hand. Excusing himself from the group, well, from Noriko and Shuichi, he went in search of his sister.
Shuichi looked at Noriko, who just shrugged back. It wasn't until Tatsuha began screaming that the pink haired man realized what his boyfriend had gone to do. Eiri returned just then, Mika and Minako in tow.
"We told you, Tatsuha, that you weren't allowed to do that tonight," Mika growled.
"But-" His reply was cut off by a sudden shriek. It was then that Shuichi saw the silver remote in Mika's hand. That must be the control panel, he thought.
Shuichi shuddered, afraid of the power that Mika now held in her hands. He looked at Eiri, who was obviously enjoying his brother's torture. The pink haired man sighed, knowing that his lover was only being vindictive because of the ground rules they had set before arriving.
The vocalist sighed dejectedly. He had no idea what had possessed him to set rules for the party. There were only three rules: 1. No being all lovey-dovey. There were cameras around, after all. 2. No baiting Tohma. The NG president had been in a really foul mood lately, and the urge to taunt him was almost overwhelming for Eiri. The final rule was that they would leave as soon as Mika opened their presents.
Shuichi had been all for the last two rules, but he had no idea why he had suggested the first rule. Deciding that rules were made to be broken, the pink haired man quickly looked around the room.
Seiishirou and Isshin were sitting on the couch, talking quietly. Tohma was brooding in a corner. Minako and Mika were torturing Tatsuha while Noriko watched and Ryuichi cried. Maiko and Suguru were nowhere to be found.
A little worried that his sister and Suguru were both missing, he grabbed Eiri's arm and rose on tiptoe to whisper in his ear. "My room is upstairs. Wanna go check it out?"
Eiri looked at his boyfriend, a smirk on his face. He nodded slightly. Quietly, the two of them backed away from the group. They had made it to the stairs by now, and no one had noticed that they were missing.
Quickly, they made there way up the stairs and into Shuichi's bedroom. The pink haired man noticed, with a touch of dismay and concern, that his sister's door was shut as well.
Deciding to shake off his thoughts concerning them, he quickly shut his door.
Eiri had only been inside of his lover's room once, and he hadn't really looked around. There was a bunk bed against one wall, a desk against the other, and not much else. There were Nittle Grasper posters scattered along the walls, and a closet on the far end of the room.
He looked at the door where his lover was still standing. Walking over to him, he braced his arms on either side of the smaller man and leaned down to kiss him gently.
The novelist felt Shuichi melt into the kiss, and the blonde smiled. Eiri flicked his tongue against the pink haired man's bottom lip, and Shuichi opened his mouth, granting Eiri's tongue entrance.
Shuichi moaned into the kiss, wrapping his arms around the blonde's neck, pulling his closer. The kiss grew more frantic, as if they couldn't get enough of each other. Eiri had withdrawn his tongue and was gently nibbling on the vocalist's lower lip.
Shuichi pulled away with a sigh. "I've been wanting you to do that all night," he whispered.
Eiri chuckled. "We haven't even been here for half an hour, Shu."
The younger man pouted cutely. "But it wasn't fair to see Tatsuha and Ryuichi-san do that when we can't."
The blonde placed a kiss on his lover's forehead. "You're the one who made the rules, Shu. Besides," he shrugged. "They were punished for it, weren't they?"
Shuichi smiled. "Yeah, I guess they were. And we can't be punished because we're still in the house."
The novelist smiled. "True." Without another word, he claimed his lover's lips in another searing kiss.
The pink haired singer stood on tiptoes, angling his head in order for Eiri to deepen the kiss. The younger man's hands started traveling down his lover's shirt, stopping to undo the buttons on his way down. As soon as all of the buttons were undone, Shuichi pushed the shirt off his lover's shoulders, letting the lavender cloth flutter to the bedroom floor.
Suddenly presented with the bare chest of his lover, Shuichi pulled away from the kiss and began to trail his lips down Eiri's neck and chest. He stopped when he came to one hardened nipple, deciding to give the little nub some attention.
Without warning, Shuichi sucked the novelist's nipple into his mouth, gently sucking and biting at the hardened nub. He felt Eiri's hand tangle in his pink locks, his soft moan urging him on.
Shuichi smiled around the nipple. The vocalist trailed his hands down lower, playing with the hem of the novelist's pants. He ran one hand over the growing bulge in Eiri's pants while the other hand made to undo the top button and zipper. When Eiri's pants were undone, Shuichi ran both hands over the silky fabric of the blonde's boxers.
With one fluid move, Shuichi had his lover's boxers and pants around his ankles at the same time that he moved from one nipple to the other.
CUT SCENE
Eiri was just about to free his lover from his jeans when they both heard a shout. Shuichi jumped off of his lover and quickly pulled on his discarded shirt. He had known that scream…
Opening the door, careful to keep Eiri from view if anyone was lounging about his door, he quickly made his way to his sister's room, yanking open the door.
What he saw was something that he had never wanted to see. His sister was straddling Suguru, completely naked except for her socks. She was raising herself up and down onto the man beneath her, who was also naked.
Maiko had looked at the door as soon as it had crashed open, staring in wide-eyed horror at her brother. Suguru had paled.
"Aniki! What the hell do you think you're doing!" she shrieked.
"I heard a yell, and thought my baby sister was in trouble!" he yelled back.
"She wasn't in trouble," Suguru said meekly. Immediately, he realized that he shouldn't have said anything, that he should have just remained quiet and invisible. Too late for that now, he thought.
"You're right," Shuichi whispered menacingly. "She wasn't, but you, Fujisaki-kun… You are in so much trouble right now…" The pink haired man watched in grim satisfaction as his band mate's face paled. "What did I tell you, Fujisaki-kun? Lay one finger on my sweet, innocent sister, and you're dead… And it seems you've lain so much more than one finger on her."
Maiko had moved past embarrassment and horror very quickly, and went straight for anger. "I seduced HIM, aniki. If you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at me." Shuichi glared at her, and she glared right back. "Besides," she smirked, "who are you to tell us what to do when you and Yuki-san are next door doing the same thing?"
"That's different," the pink haired man whispered harshly.
"How so?" Maiko challenged.
Shuichi's face turned beet red. He knew that it was really no different, that it was hypocritical, but this was his baby sister, damnit! "It just is," he answered petulantly.
"Yeah, right." Maiko scowled at her brother. "If you have nothing else to say, could you please leave? We were in the middle of something."
Shuichi's eyes bugged. "Oh no you were not, young lady," he screeched. "Maiko, get off the boy." Maiko didn't move. "NOW."
"You can't make me," she replied insolently.
A mischievous gleam appeared in Shuichi's violet eyes. "Wanna make a bet?" Before Maiko could respond, the vocalist called out, "MOM! DAD! MAIKO'S HAVING-"
Shuichi was cut off by Maiko's hand over his mouth. The pink haired man smirked in triumph. Maiko was now off of Suguru. "Get dressed, Maiko," he said around her hand.
As if realizing that she was naked in front of her brother, the younger Shindou turned beat red. Spinning around, she grabbed her clothes off of the floor and hastily redressed. Suguru had already put his clothes back on while Maiko was silencing Shuichi.
"It's not fair," Maiko pouted as soon as she was dressed. "You and Yuki-san can have sex in your room, but I can't."
"We weren't having sex," a voice said from behind the vocalist. Eiri walked into the room, fully clothed and looking nothing like he'd just received the blowjob of his life. "He gave me a-"
Shuichi silenced his lover with a kiss. "Not helping, Eiri," he whispered against his lips.
The blonde shrugged. "Come on, Maiko-chan. I'm sure everyone is wondering where we all are."
Maiko, star struck by the chance to walk with Eiri Yuki, followed blindly, leaving Suguru and Shuichi alone.
Shuichi shut the door as soon as his sister was out of it. "I was just starting to warm up to you, Fujisaki-kun," the pink haired man stated sadly. "Now, I have to kill you for defiling my sister."
Suguru swallowed hard. "But… I didn't… I mean, I did, but…" The green haired man started breathing hard, backing up and falling onto the bed. Shuichi advanced on him.
"What are you trying to tell me, Fujisaki-kun?" he questioned curiously. "Are you trying to tell me it wasn't your fault?" Suguru shook his head, deciding it best to take the blame. "Or, maybe you're trying to tell me that my sister was already defiled when you got to her?"
Suguru knew that there was no way out without a thorough beating. The synth player looked up at his lead singer, trying in vain to keep from hyperventilating.
"What am I going to do with you, Fujisaki-kun?" Shuichi queried. "I can't trust you to be alone with my sister, and I can't kill you because I promised Maiko I wouldn't physically hurt you… What a dilemma."
Suguru almost fainted in relief. He couldn't be physically harmed. That was good. There wasn't anything that Shuichi could do to him that would hurt him. He relaxed.
"I have an idea!" Shuichi suddenly exclaimed. A smile appeared on his face, and Suguru was instantly wary. "I can't hurt you physically right? Well, Maiko never said I could hurt you emotionally or embarrass the hell out of you." Shuichi noticed Suguru starting to pale again. "This is how you're going to make it up to me…"
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Shuichi and Suguru entered the living room just as Mika was starting to open her presents. Immediately, the two boys split up, finding their significant others. Finding Eiri standing against the wall, Shuichi joined him.
"So," the blonde whispered. "What did you do to him? He doesn't look like he's in pain."
The pink haired man smiled. "You're going to our next concert, right, Eiri-kun?"
The novelist looked at his lover curiously. "I guess. Why?"
Shuichi just smiled cryptically. "You'll see."
Mika was opening up the present from the Shindous. She shrieked in excitement when she saw a digital camera and two tickets to a day spa. "Thank you so much!" She gave Minako and Maiko hugs, and bowed politely to Seiishirou. They all muttered that it was not a big deal. Mika smiled.
There were only two more presents left on the table now. One from Eiri, and one from Shuichi. Mika had decided to open up the gift from her brother first. Grabbing the silver wrapped gift, she stripped it of the wrapping paper, and stared at the present. A red flush began to appear on her cheeks.
At first, Shuichi had thought that Eiri had gotten her something embarrassing, like the Kama Sutra, but it turned out that that wasn't it. "EIRI UESUGI! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!"
A yellow book came flying through the air, hitting the wall where Eiri's head had been if he had not moved it. Shuichi moved to pick the book up, wariness evident in his eyes. He picked the book up and looked at the cover. HOW TO BE A VILLAIN was written in English on the cover. The pink haired man sighed. Why did his lover like to provoke his sister?
"What's wrong, nee-san? Don't like your book?" the blonde deadpanned. "You like to read in English, and the book was just screaming 'Mika.'"
Deciding that a distraction was needed if he was going to still have a living lover at the end of the night, Shuichi desperately called, "You still have one present left, Mika-san."
Growling at her brother, Mika picked up the last present. It was wrapped in bright pink wrapping paper, and her name was written on it in what appeared to be crayon. Rolling her eyes, Mika prepared herself for another stupid present from her younger brother's boyfriend. Ripping off the paper, Mika looked at the present and gasped.
Shuichi had decided that it would be better to get Mika jewelry this year instead of trying to figure out something original. He knew that his lover's sister adored jewelry, and so Shuichi had gone to a jewelry store and bought her a necklace with matching earrings.
"Thank you, Shuichi-kun!" Mika exclaimed. "They're beautiful! Much better than that lame present my brother got me!" The oldest of the Uesugi children crossed the room and gave the pink haired man a hug, all the while glaring at her brother. As she pulled away, she plucked the book from Shuichi's hands and made her way back to the center of the room. "That's all the presents," she announced. "Let's eat!"
The rest of Mika's party went somewhat smoothly. Tatsuha was only shocked 20 times for trying to molest Ryuichi, although, it didn't help that Ryuichi was also trying to molest Tatsuha as well.
At a quarter to nine, Mika and Minako relented and let Shuichi and Eiri go home. They said their goodbyes to everyone, and left. Eiri noticed that Shuichi was strangely happy. When he had asked his lover about it, all the pink haired man had said was, "Go to our concert and you'll understand."
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Shuichi and Hiro were waiting in the wings for Suguru. The lead singer and guitarist were already dressed and waiting for their cue to go onstage, but the synth player had yet to show up.
"I wonder where Fujisaki-kun is," Hiro mused. "He's never late."
The pink haired man only smiled. "He'll be here. He's getting dressed."
Hiro looked at his friend, not sure if he really wanted to know the answer to the question that was floating around in his head. Deciding that it wasn't worth it, Hiro continued to wait.
The opening act was pretty good, for an amateur group. Not something that NG would sign, but the members of BAD LUCK had decided that they would give amateur bands a chance, since no other group did. The opening band, Neverland, finished up their closing number and started to strike their equipment.
Shuichi caught movement on the other side of the stage and smiled. Suguru was ready, waiting for their cue as well. "Fujisaki-kun is entering from the other side of the stage," he informed Hiro. Hiro nodded.
"And now," the announcer's voice boomed, "the band you've all been waiting for… BAD LUCK!"
Cheers and applause erupted from the crowd as the band took the stage. Shuichi burst out laughing as he saw Suguru's costume, while Hiro stared in shock. The noise from the crowd died down as they took in Suguru's attire.
Suguru stood on stage, in front of his synth, studiously ignoring the crowd and Hiro's questioning looks. In that moment, he hated Shuichi Shindou and wished they had never met. Although, he conceded, if they hadn't met, he'd have never met Maiko.
The synth player pictured Maiko's face and stubbornly held it there. This is all for Maiko, he thought.
Shuichi grabbed the mic and addressed the audience. "Thank you all for coming out here tonight! We all really appreciate it! As you've all probably noticed, Fujisaki-kun is wearing a giant condom costume, but it's not for fun." Well, Shuichi thought, for him it isn't… "It's because it's been brought to our attention that too many young teens are practicing safe sex. So, BAD LUCK is promoting safe sex!" A loud cheer erupted from the crowd and Shuichi smiled.
Suguru gritted his teeth and stepped away from his synth. The condom costume that he wore had a bunch of pockets and they were full of condoms. Making his way to the microphone, he spoke, "So, BAD LUCK is giving away condoms with our band name on them. There are also special condoms that have our names and…" Suguru paused. He couldn't believe that he was doing this. "Our faces." Closing his eyes, he plunged his hands into his pockets and began throwing condoms to the crowd.
Hiro looked between Suguru and Shuichi. He hadn't known anything about this, and now there were condoms out there that had his picture on it? What the hell are those two smoking? he thought incredulously.
The crowd went crazy diving after condoms. Shuichi smiled while Suguru glared. Signaling to his band mates that they should start playing, Hiro picked up his guitar and Suguru returned to his synth. Shuichi picked up the mic and spoke into it. "We hope you put those condoms to good use!" There was cheering. "Well, let's get on with the show! WE ARE BAD LUCK!"
With that, the music started up, and all three men onstage lost themselves to the music.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Shuichi made his way back to his dressing room after the concert and was only vaguely surprised to find Maiko waiting for him. "Ohayo, Maiko-chan," he greeted.
"Don't 'ohayo' me, aniki," she replied scathingly. "I can't believe you made Suguru-kun do that!"
The vocalist smirked. "Well, he needed to learn that if he's not going to listen to me, as well as not practice safe sex, then there are consequences. Besides," he continued nonchalantly. "It's not as bad as some of the other ideas I had."
Maiko glared at her brother before turning and leaving, muttering about insensitive brothers and minding their own business.
"I love you, too, Maiko-chan," he called.
"I thought I was the only one you loved," came a dry voice from the door.
Shuichi didn't even bother to turn. "You're the only one I love that's not family or Hiro," he replied automatically.
Hands wrapped around the pink haired singer's waist. "So," the blonde whispered in his ear. "You love Hiro? Do you love him more than me?"
Shuichi relaxed in his lover's arms. "You know I love you more, Eiri Uesugi."
The novelist kissed his lover on the cheek before replying, "Good."
The pink haired man turned around, properly embracing his lover. "So, did you like the show?"
Eiri scowled. "I don't like the idea of people having condoms with your picture on them." The blonde held up five condoms. "And I don't even get any of them. I get the BAD LUCK one, two Hiros, and two Fujisakis." Eiri pouted.
Shuichi laughed. "Don't worry," he consoled. "No one got a Shuichi condom. I kept them all…"
Eiri smiled. "Well, in that case, it was a great show, Shu-chan."
The pink haired man gave his lover a gentle kiss before disentangling himself from the embrace. "I'm tired. Let's go home, Eiri."
Taking the younger man's hand, the blonde led him out of the dressing room and outside of the auditorium. Within minutes, they were on their way home.
