A/N: This story takes place toward the end of the original Gravitation manga. There will be 7 short chapters all-in-all.
There he was. His god. His dream. His future. His own private little sex toy. (Or, at least in his mind he was...) Sakuma Ryuichi. Lead vocalist of Nittle Grasper, Tatsuha's idol since for ever. For months now, Tatsuha had tried to use his brother's acquaintance with Shindou Shuichi (whom in turn was acquainted to Sakuma-san) to get close to the singing god, but nothing had yet worked. Eiri was stubbornly refusing to let Tatsuha anywhere near Shuichi since that little incident when Tatsuha had almost raped him. He could not understand why. That had not been so bad, had it? And Shuichi had looked so much like Ryuichi...
So he had had to take matters into his own hands to come down to business.
Tatsuha peered around the corner in the waiting area in the entrance hall of the N-G building, jealously watching the little crowd of people surrounding his idol. He wished he could have been one of them, standing there right next to Sakuma.
The Grasper singer laughed at something and spoke conspiratorially to his bear. Then he lifted his gaze and looked over at the spot where Tatsuha was standing. Blinked.
"Who are you?" he asked aloud, making several of the others turn their gazes in his direction, as well.
Swiftly, he hid behind a giant plant.
Although he wanted nothing more than for Ryuichi to see him, he did not want five other guys to notice him, too. They might think he was a stalker or something and call security.
"Hey, what are we hiding from?"
The question came from his right side, and Tatsuha jumped at the sound of the familiar voice so close to him. But he had not come around the corner! How the hell could he have gotten around him?
Tatsuha was staring right into the singer's beaming, playful face. It was like a dream.
Sakuma peered around the corner. "Are we playing hide-and-seek?" he wondered with renewed joy and giggled childishly. "Great! I'm a master of hide-and-seek! Watch me!"
One second later, he had disappeared. Puzzled, Tatsuha turned his head in every direction possible, surveyed every inch of the waiting area without leaving his hiding place, but there was no sign of Sakuma. How the hell..?
"Banzaiiiii!"
Sakuma jumped at him from behind - and Tatsuha had been standing with his back to the wall! - and clasped his arms around his neck in a tight grip. "Got you, hahahaha!"
"Sakuma Ryuichi is holding me!" Tatsuha breathed between clenched teeth.
"What?" Sakuma asked, bewildered.
"Nothing." He forced himself to clear his throat and brush the other man off himself. When he had done so, he strained to look serious. "Anyway, how are you doing, Ryuichi-san?"
Ryuichi blinked in lack of understanding. "Who are you again?"
"It's me - Tatsuha. Remember?"
"Oh! Tatsuha, it is you! Oh, we had so much fun at the zoo the other day, didn't we?" the singer exclaimed joyfully and laughed again.
"Yeah, we did. I came here hoping we could have some more fun together."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Tatsuha-kun, but I can't. I have a photo shoot, and a radio interview, and then a late-afternoon meeting with Touma... You know how Touma gets when I'm late," Ryuichi excused himself with and shrugged apologetically.
Tatsuha tried not to look too disappointed. "That's all right," he assured in a dark voice. "Well, maybe some other time, then..."
The other man lit up. "Yeah! How about tomorrow? I think I'm free tomorrow! Or, well, actually I was planning to torture Shuichi a bit, but that can wait a day or two... You know he's trying to match me, don't you? I can't let that happen. There's a reason Sakuma Ryuichi is the top singer of Japan, right? No teenager wannabe will ever steal that position away from me."
"Certainly not!" Tatsuha agreed fiercely. "I will not allow it, either. Anyway I can help you, Ryuichi-san..."
The singer smiled invitingly. "Please, call me Ryu-chan. Ryuichi-san is so formal. Makes me sound like an old fart. And you don't think I'm an old fart, do you, Tatsuha-san?"
"Oh, no, no! Quite the contrary! I think you're a very lively and vibrant young man..."
Ryuichi blushed and squirmed like a school girl. "Tatsuha... you flatter me." Something in his eyes made Tatsuha bolder than he should have been, and he was compelled to lean in for the prospect of a kiss. For a moment, it almost seemed as if Sakuma would agree to the kiss, but then he cried out and turned his attention to his plushie bear. Tatsuha almost fell over when there was no longer someone in front of him to hold him back. "Ah! Kumagoro, we're late! Why didn't you tell me we only had five minutes to get to the 88th floor!"
In the next second, Sakuma was dashing off down the corridor toward the elevators. Tatsuha took a few steps after him, clumsily reaching out for him. "Ryu-chan! Wait!"
But the elevator doors had already closed on the singer.
Tatsuha glared at the cold metal.
"Damn."
A/N: Hehehe, all right, a slow start, but I think it can develop into something really comical at the end. The point is that Tatsuha during these 7 chapters is going to try his uttermost to get inside Ryu's pants. I couldn't help butgetting a lot of crazy ideas when I re-read Gravitation a few days back. I wanted to give Tatsuha a chance to get everything he wanted, and he can't have it in Nakushita, so... let's see if he succeeds or not. Please feel free to give me reviews, although this particular chapter isn't all that good... I will update it soon. /paipu-chan
