"W-w-what do you mean K-san isn't here!" Sakano screeched into the ear of bad lucks keyboardist. The green haired boy just blinked a few times at his producer before wiggling his finger in his ear to try and be rid of the ringing noise. "It's okay Sakano-san….I didn't need this ear….really"
The whirling tornado that was Sakano buzzed its way towards Shuichi, who was currently hiding behind his guitarist, Hiro. "Where the hell is he? We can't get any work done without him….Oh my god Seguchi-san is gonna have my ass for breakfast, my days as a producer are over…WAAA I'M SORRY FOR FAILING YOU SHUICHI!" Sakano collapsed to the floor sobbing.
Shuichi stepped out from behind Hiro and placed a comforting hand on Sakanos shoulder before helping him into one of the studio chairs. "Calm down Sakano-san" Shuichi beamed down at his producer and patted him on the back "K-san called this morning and said he had a previous engagement to attend and would check in with us before the end of the day"
Sakano stopped wailing and seemed to stare off into space, a moment later he jumped out of his chair and headed towards the door of the studio.
"You guys get on with work, I'm going to go and bring K-san back"
"I knew you would be here"
Ks head shot up at the familiar voice, he was surprised that Sakano had actually managed to find him. K had mentioned on several occasions that he wasn't a big fan of watching movies at the cinema, He preferred to watch them curled up on the couch at home with a cold beer. He watched as the producer took a seat beside him in the plush red theatre chair and reached over to take some of the popcorn from the packet that was sitting on his knee.
"Care to explain how you knew I was here then?" he asked. K didn't bother keeping his voice quite since they were currently the only people in that particular screen. Sakano popped a piece of the popcorn in his mouth and chewed for a moment before replying.
"It was simple really, today is Thursday, and on Thursdays this theatre shows old movies for a quarter of the price. You know that guy at the ticket office still charged me for a ticket even though the movie has only 20 or so minutes left, that's just plain shocking" the younger man popped another piece of the popcorn into his mouth "I remembered the movie listings in the newspaper said that they would be showing old Judy Winchester movies all day, when you told Shuichi you had a "previous engagement", that's when I realised you would be here" The producer explained proudly. "I remembered when you told me that the movie "Previous Engagement" was Judy's first big hit, the movie that made her a star"
K smiled sadly at Sakanos words "Yeah….When they finished filming the final scene for this movie Judy came running off the set and threw herself into my arms, I just stood and held her for so long. It was meant as a friendly gesture but it was then I realised that I was in love with her" K turned his gaze back to the big screen, watching the passionate kiss between 'Grace' and 'Maxwell'. "I took her out to dinner that night and told her how I felt, I was on cloud nine when she told me she felt the same way…I proposed to her 3 months later you know"
Sakano didn't know what to say, instead he returned Ks sad smile and turned back to watch the last remaining minutes of the movie.
The end credits started to roll and the lights in the theatre came back on, it was then that Sakano noticed how red and puffy Ks eyes were, his cheeks were still wet which meant he was still crying when he had turned up. The producer reached out and wiped away the wet trails with his thumb, letting his hand linger a little longer than necessary. K just stared at him with those sorrow filled eyes, the look itself was breaking Sakanos heart.
"Common, lets get out of here. I know this great little place where we can have brunch" The blond suddenly announced, he jumped out of his chair and grabbed Sakanos arm. The producer looked alarmed and tried to pull his arm free of Ks vice like grip. "K-san! W-we need to head back to NG! t-t-there is too much work needing done today, we can't just take the day off" but his words fell on deaf ears since K already had his cell phone out and was currently talking to Shuichi
"Shuichi! Yeah man Sakano found me…Anyway something's come up and I can't make it into the studio at all today…Oh, ummm, Sakano can't make it either, so it's just going to be you guys for today….Why does it matter….cause we are busy okay?...Shuichi I swear I'll come back just put a bullet in your skull if you don't shut up….That's a good little pop star, now run along and make me some pretty music, if I don't have any new lyrics to look at when I come in tomorrow then I'll make Sakano cry and lock you in the broom cupboard with him"
"HEY!" Sakano protested. He blushed when K mouth an 'I'm sorry' to him and winked.
"Alrighty…Bye, bye then" K hung up the call and turned his cell phone off, he then reached into Sakanos pocket and grabbed his cell phone, switching it off before handing it back to the producer. "Right! Now it's of to brunch…..and I'm paying cause I'm feeling generous today"
Sakano looked over the menu with wide eyes, everything was so freaking expensive, and the café itself was very posh and flash looking. Sakano felt a little out of place among all the high powered executive types that were currently dinning. Sure he was a business man and worked for the almighty NG, but that didn't stop him from feeling so small compared to them.
"K-san….a-are you sure you want to pay, this is all very expensive" He couldn't believe the price of even a single cup of coffee "Maybe they can just give me a glass of water or something…" K put down his menu and whapped Sakano off the back of the head with his hand. "Don't be silly man, just order some damn food or I'll order for you" Sakano rubbed the back of his head and decided on getting some sandwiches and a cup of coffee, the cheapest things on the menu. After making his order and handing the menu back to the waitress, Sakano turned back to face K. He nearly fell out of his seat when he saw that K was sitting watching him.
"Ummm is-is there something on my face K-san?"
K seemed to snap out of his daze at Sakanos words, he blinked a few times before laughing "Its nothing Sakano-san, actually I was just wondering what you would look like without your glasses in the day light, I've only seen you without them at night when we go out with the band" The blonde stood up and reached over the table to pull the producers glasses off his face, he giggled at the cute blush that spread across the younger mans face. "He, he, Kawaii!" he squealed, causing Sakanos blush to deepen.
After lunch was over with, K and Sakano went all over the place. K dragged Sakano into the arcade to play some shooting games, Sakano dragged K into one of the music stores to buy some cds ("Ohhh the Chillies…Sakano dude you fucking rock!"), they both eventually ended up in the park, learning new things about one another. Sakano talked about how he came to work with NG and how he discovered Bad Luck, K talked about the States and his beloved son Michael. It soon started to get late, the sun beginning to set behind the Tokyo skyline reminded the pair of this.
"You wanna come back to mine and have a couple of beers, maybe watch a movie?" K offered
"Sure, Sounds good" Sakano accepted.
K went into the kitchen to grab some beer and snacks while Sakano browsed through his DVD collection, looking for something suitable to watch. He cocked an eyebrow and withdrew the DVD 'Moulin Rouge', he never imagined K the type to own such a smushy romance movie. Sakano turned to face K when he emerged from the kitchen, 6 pack of beer in one hand and a bowl of popcorn in the other, he put both items on the little coffee table. "Oh hey, that's actually a pretty good movie, bet you thought I wasn't the type huh?" K grinned and grabbed the film out of Sakanos hands. "Make yourself comfortable and help yourself to beer"
At some point during the movie K and Sakano had moved so they were sitting almost right next to each other. Sakano was feeling a little bit tipsy now, he had drunk 4 of the 6 beers K had provided and now he had realised why I never drunk often, he was an extreme lightweight. It was now near the end of the movie and Sakano could feel himself getting weepy, he tried so hard not to cry but couldn't stop the few stray tears that escaped his eyes. He didn't know why, but he moved his head so it was resting against Ks shoulder, snuggling closer to the manager. He smiled when he felt K sling his arm wound his shoulders and allow him to relax into his side.
His heart was thumping wildly in his chest now, Ks arm had slid down from being around his shoulders to rest around his lower back, and his fingers were lightly caressing his waist. A shudder ran through Sakanos body at the touch and he heard K laugh a little. When the movie finished K snatched up the remote and flicked off the TV, Sakano felt him shift round to face him, the Americans arm was still around his waist.
Sakano just sat there and stared at the golden beauty before him, unsure of what was going on. He felt K hand smooth up his back and back down again, the action causing another shudder of delight to run through his body. Ks face had moved closer to his own. Shocked slightly, Sakano moved back a bit. "K-K-san...what…." He was cut off by a finger on his lips.
"Shhh, don't ruin the moment"
Sakano felt lips brush against his, almost experimental, before pressing against them again with a bit more force. K was kissing him! Sakano moaned into the kiss and felt K slide his tongue between his lips, he parted his lips a little more and allowed K to explore his mouth with his tongue. When they pulled away from the kiss Sakano found that he was now laying back against the couch with K lying over the top of him, he reached a hand up to push some of Ks hair back behind his ear, the blondes face was flushed and his eyes glazed over with lust, the look took Sakanos breath away.
"K….why did you kiss me?"
K had settled himself down a bit lower so their bodies were now flush together, the feeling was wonderful and the beating of Ks heart against his chest was soothing.
"I'm giving you the chance you so desperately wish for" the American bent down and murmured into his ear. Sakano gasped when he felt the blonde hot lips pressed against his neck and tilled his head back slightly, allowing the man better access. "How did you know?"
K pulled back from the kiss and sat back up, Sakano felt the arms round his waist tug him up to sit with him. One of Ks arms stayed wrapped around his waist while the other crept up into his hair, fingers gently running through his raven locks.
"That night about a month ago, when that asshole had you all drugged up, do you remember what happened when we got back here?" Sakano shook his head no, wondering what on earth could have happened. "Well, you were a little freaked out about the fact that your vision was screwed up and you began to gibber a lot of rubbish, you didn't have a clue who you were talking to. At one point during your rant you made a little confession" K moved his lips closer to his ear and whispered "You said that you were in love with me…is that true Sakano?"
Sakano felt his gut clench unpleasantly, his heart was now hammering in his chest and his face felt like it was on fire. He was frozen to the spot, Sakano wanted to run and hide in embarrassment at his drugged confession to K. When it all suddenly came flooding back to him he shot up out of the chair ready to lock himself in the bathroom. A hand shot out and grabbed his wrist, pulling him back down onto the couch.
"Don't run!" K told him "You told me, "how I wish I could at least be given a chance"….well here I am Sakano, I'm giving you the chance you want. What are you going to do?"
Sakano seemed to ponder for a moment before he practically leapt onto K and crushed their lips together in a breathtaking kiss. Ks hands were running up and down his back under his shirt, holding their bodies close together.
"Ohh K…"
"Call me Claude baby"
