'They took me to a carnival?' Rei's eyebrows furrowed together, walking along to the entrance, his hands conspicuously bound. 'They're going to kill me at a carnival…not very elegant but it'll do…' Rei considered therapy there and then when he thought that murder at a carnival was a good way to go.
He looked around. Stalls and booths with games and food, the rides and haunted house further on. The Ferris wheel stood proud above all else, the sun making the little windows of the carriages gleam. "Alright Tala your first with Rei, meet you at the slides in an hour"
Tala nodded and pulled Rei away, untying his bounds and letting the rope fall to the floor before tugging him into a run "Lets go to the fun house!" He cried, his necklace swaying around his neck as he ran, laughing as he dodged people. Rei raised an eyebrow at the erratic guitarist before smiling softly as Tala bumped into a stall, apologised to it then gestured for Rei to hurry. "First, I want to say sorry" Tala said calmly, looking ahead with clear azure eyes, hands in his pockets of his white jacket
"It's alright, I'd rather some type of warning before I get stolen next time though" He huffed light heartedly, wondering why he forgave people so easily. He supposed their intentions were good, but really, did they have to bind him then kidnap him?
Tala smirked at the pout "When I meet new people, I'm rather anxious and excited all at once so I tend to scare them a bit." He offered as an explanation "I was like that with Kai when we first met, at the orphanage; I was just another lonely poor kid. I hated that, I wanted to be special, naïve I know, but I thought if I could make myself better then I would find a family quickly. So whenever I met someone, I'd try and stand out as much as possible and mostly resulted in scaring them away" He laughed gently, running a hand through his hair. "But Kai, he smiled at me and stayed. He was different too, red eyes, blue hair and always with a little scarf on, he looked so…for a lack of a better word, cool. I mean that in the least fangirly way possible"
Rei smiled, watching the pale face as it remained neutral, only the azure eyes displayed a change in emotion, going from sadness to excitement and down right adoration.
"He had this air about him of someone extremely confident and pleased with himself yet with also ditzy, that really attracted me. He was so cute as a kid; he used to say the dumbest and most oblivious things-still does. Like this one time, I told him that it wasn't good to be different in the orphanage and he went 'Mama said we have different things to make us special, like toes or belly buttons. Some stick out! I like you because you're different, belly button and all!' I guess you could say I fell in love with him when he said that. He made me happy to just be myself" He sighed, looking embarrassed for saying such things "That's why Kai is so special to me, that's why I test everyone who wants to be with him. They have to be worthy."
"I understand" He smiled at the look Tala sent him. Rei looked away, self-doubt washing over him 'I just hope I can live up to the expectations'
The redhead grinned, linked his arm with Rei's, effectively making the neko-jin smile (even if it was a startled one), and marched up to the pink and yellow shaped building with 'Fun House' in large wonky letters above it "Kai's really helped me, when I was old enough to leave the orphanage helped get me a job. He used to bring games and books for me at the orphanage. My interest sparked and I started reading everything in sight, even now I like to research and learn more. Can't be a musician forever"
He halted, waiting in the queue; Rei felt the deep respect, that was somewhat damaged via kidnapping, beginning to restore for the swaying figure beside himself. He was seeing the true Tala now, the caring, intelligent one. "Kai's told me you've done more for him though, all you say is how much he's done for you"
"Me? Ah, I suppose I've helped him a bit, it's never enough though. I really want to help him get over his past-" He bit his tongue "Pastry"
"…" Rei raised an eyebrow "Well, good luck with that. After all I don't want Kai with…pastry problems…"
Tala stared at him for a while then sighed as if his problems had disappeared "Phew, thank god you agree. You got spunk, I like that"
Rei modestly shrugged the compliment off "I'm an orphan too" He announced, after all what better to talk about then something that is familiar to both parties.
The taller man glanced at Rei, and coughed slightly as he focused his attention elsewhere, listening sharply "I didn't know that. I never met my parents, what were yours like?"
"My father was a respected man, and my mother was loved by everyone, they died when I was eight, so at least I can remember them." Rei nibbled his bottom lip "The night my father died, my mother and I were in our home. He was out, with the other men. A tiger was in the village and they had to get it away, even kill it"
Tala settled into silence, only disturbing it to shuffle forward as the queue lessened, dread filled his stomach as he came to conclusions of what had happened that night and what Rei had seen but still he kept his mouth closed, hands in pockets and blue orbs staring determinedly at the tanned face, not able to pretend that the bird pecking at the floor was of interest anymore.
"He never liked to kill, but the tiger was dangerous and left them no choice. I got tired of waiting and fell asleep, I was sure everything would be fine, you know?" Rei slid his hands into his pockets to hide the fact that they were fisted by now "When I woke up, they were both gone. She ran out to help him" Rei snorted, not liking being this close to emotional in front of anyone, where was that safe smile he hid behind when he needed it? "My grandma told me about how she had died bravely to protect her family, how my father had sacrificed himself for the good of the village"
"You don't have to go on-"
"I know. But I wanted to tell you, you shared something with me after all"
"You couldn't have changed anything, whether you were asleep or not, it wouldn't have changed anything. Some things just happen for no reason, but don't beat yourself up over it" Tala said after a few minutes silence and steady breathing. He looked around for the bird that partly held his attention earlier on. Only to find a dog greeting someone's leg "Nice…" He scoffed under his breath.
Rei heard him and peered around the redhead's body, grinning widely "Trust you to notice that" Tala shot him an indignant look "I feel better now"
Tala grinned, "I tend to have that effect on people," He teased, finally making it to the front of the small queue "I think we've been sad enough for one day, don't you?"
Rei nodded "Yeah"
"Then let's go have some fun!" He yelled, a lost childlike exhilaration reappearing in his eyes as he grabbed Rei's hand and pulled him into the building "Which way?" He asked, looking from the crooked stairs to the door and passage way, all the corridors were twisted and optical allusions made it look as though there were other ways to go, Rei found that out when he walked into the wall. Tala laughing ceremoniously behind him.
Deciding on the stairs, the two young men ran up them. The staircase jolted beneath them and started moving the opposite way, leaving them running on the spot. "Great now what?" Rei chuckled as Tala ran beside him; his face was contorted with determination.
"We just have to wait this bastard out!" He growled, "We can do it! We shall win!"
Rei shook his head amused but did as he was bid and let out a relieved sigh when the stairs stopped and allowed them to make their way up the stairs, collapsing when he reached the top with a 'Urgh!'
Tala giggled at him. Rei smacked him over the head with a bemused frown and walked slowly forward as any fast movements would cause water being squirted at them. Tala grinned demonically and pushed the Chinese youth to set the water off. Rei yelled about his hair, putting his arms up and closing his eyes as the water soaked him. Tala opened his arms and embraced it, spinning around. Finally moving away, they looked at each other and saw that their clothes were sopping and their hair was now style less and hanged in front of their sparkling eyes.
"Come on!" Tala chuckled; grabbing Rei's arm and pushing a door open "Duck!" He yelled, crouching down. Rei blinked bewildered before a poof of white powder exploded in his face. Tala pointed at him from his position on the floor and his laughter echoed through the place. Rei growled down at him.
"Not funny!"
"I-it is!" Tala gasped out, gasping in air between his cackles when Rei spat some of the powder out of his mouth with a disgusted look.
"I'm sure you're doing this on purpose, using me as a shield"
Finally recovering Tala walked through the door and slammed straight into a mirror. Blinking dazedly he groaned "Oh no, we're in the hall of mirrors"
"Oh, this will be eas-" Rei clutched his nose after banging into another mirror. "Ow"
"Were you about to say easy?" Tala smiled, placing his hands out in front of him to feel his way through before he came upon a board that lit up "Oh look, it says to get out we have to find sleeping beauty, then the…something, the world is blurry and finally the dragon. If we find them we're going in the right direction"
A scream reached their ears and Tala clutched at Rei's arm, who sent him haughty look. "Scared?"
Tala waved his hand dismissible "Yeah right, I just thought you were that's all, doing it for your benefit. Cause I'm cool like that"
"I'm not scared" Rei grinned, walking on ahead. Talas panicked as he saw the end of Rei's long braid disappear. "Hurry up!"
"Wait for me!" He shouted, after the scream sounded again. Rei smirked at him and grabbed his hand so they wouldn't lose each other. Tala started singing in Japanese to keep himself from noticing the sounds of torture playing through the speakers, jumping and gripping Rei's hand hard. Cursing to themselves they doubled back to take another route. A mirror lit up causing Rei to latch onto Tala and hide behind him. "Who's scared now, kit-kat-paddy-wak-give-the-dog-a-phone-ring-ring-tone?" Rei was sure Tala could have stopped on 'kit-kat' or at least got the rhyme right.
"Oh be quiet" Rei pouted, his ears twitched and he turned in the direction of the faint music "Hear that?"
Tala frowned, cocking his head to the side "No"
"I think it's sleeping beauty!" Rei clapped his hands together and they rounded the corner to come across a dimly lit window with a sculpture of a woman in a grand bed, a rose clasped between her hands "Yay! Now the …something!" Rei cried, hitting his head against a mirror.
Tala rolled his eyes at the neko-jin before stubbing his toe on another. "Where the hell are we supposed to go then?" Rei peered around and pointed to under the window. There was a secret door there. Tala swore profoundly and pushed it open to come face to face with a boot. Pushing it out of the way he gave an indignant "Get out of the bloody way" Before standing up and dusting himself off. A gang of teenagers were there and gasped when they saw him. Rei crawled through the gap after the guitarist and also stood, tilting his head when he saw the redhead surrounded by chattering boys and girls, wonder and awe filling their voices.
"I can't believe it-!"
"I love your music-!"
"Who taught you how to play the guitar?"
"Can I have your autograph?"
"Where's Kai?"
"Kai's back home, resting" He smiled, brushing his hair back "I taught myself the guitar and sure" Paper was shoved forward and Tala took the offered pen with a thank you nod.
"Is it true you and Kai are really a couple?"
The redhead laughed, "Where did you get that idea from?"
The girl blushed as the ice blue eyes met hers, she had been too busy clinging to her friend and trying not to cry from happiness so far "W-well a lot of people think you are, I don't mind, I think it's cute!"
"Sorry, but we aren't dating, it would be like incest for me" A series of 'oh's' and other sounds echoed the dark passage with mumblings of 'I'm somewhat disappointed' and 'told you so'.
"Are you dating at all?"
"Me? No, I'm free" Tala smirked "Kai's been taken though!"
"By who? What's her name?"
Tala shrugged nonchalantly "Who's that guy?" A girl nodded at Rei and the other stopped with their gushing and turned to the shy one. Rei wiped his powder-covered face and backed away from their gazes until Tala placed an arm around his shoulder, looking pleased.
"This is the new music sensation, so when you hear the name Rei Kon again, pay attention, ok?" They all nodded, eyes full of stars as they gazed at Rei, hands clasped together. "Hopefully he's going to be a junior in Aoki-sama's company!"
"Ah, you'd make a great sempai!" The girl gushed to Tala, knowing that the older ones helped any new singers in 'Aoki's Creations', therefore becoming their sempai's.
"He's so cute!"
"Oh wow, look at his hair!"
"Now, now" Tala smirked "This guy is a good friend of the band, so please, treat him well" They all nodded vigorously and after getting a few items signed by both of the elder men they waved them away with directions to the dragon. "See, you're popular already!"
"I don't think I could handle that!" Rei said chokingly, looking over his shoulder worriedly. "They look up to you so much, it's worrying"
"You're right, there's a ton of pressure but there are good points that outweigh it. Ooh I think I heard the dragon, let's go!" The Russian sped off singing the batman theme song. "We did it!" He high fived the Chinese youth, dancing past the huge model of a black dragon with evil glinting eyes and stuck his tongue out to it "Ha! We did it, you don't scare me! Stupid dragon!"
"RAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWRRRR!"
"AAAHHHHHHHH!" Tala screamed, high-pitched and excessively girly, running out of the exit. Rei laughed at the feminine scream and leant against the wall for support as he saw Tala clutching his chest, panic stricken and eyes darting back and forth. His golden eyes filled with tears of mirth and he slid onto the floor, too weak to stand from laughing so hard. Tala puffed his cheeks out and placed his hands on his hips with his eyes narrowed "Don't laugh at me! That was scary!"
Rei sighed, wiping his eyes before breaking into uncontrollable giggles. Staggering to his feet when Tala stormed off and gasping out a 'sorry' still extremely amused. Tala poked the younger boy's nose and moved away when Rei made to poke him back. Rei collapsed backwards, catching his breath "So. Do you like Bryan?"
Tala was clearly stuck between OMGHowDidYouKnow? and AmIThatObvious? "Yes. I mean no. Maybe. Wait, what?"
"Knew it" Rei said in a singsong voice, leaning his head back and closing his eyes "I could tell"
"I don't think he returns it though" Tala pushed himself up to sit beside the neko-jin, cursing as his red bangs fell into his hair, he dug into his jacket pocket and took out some hair slides and concentrated on scraping the bangs back into them "It was obvious with Kai and you, because he wouldn't shut up about you and you always had that look like you were high whenever you saw him" Rei scoffed "It's true. But with Bryan…meh, he always ignores if someone asks about me and it doesn't feel like I exist around him sometimes"
"Well everyone shows they like someone differently. Bryan doesn't seem like the sort of person who'd flirt like mad and hug in public, don't give up on him"
"I suppose"
"That won't do!" Rei slapped his hand down onto the floor "Repeat after me. I won't give up!"
"I won't give up" Tala deadpanned
"With enthusiasm! I won't give up!"
"I won't give up!"
"Louder!"
"I won't give up!"
"Tell the world!" Rei grinned
Tala leapt up, fisting his hands and waving his arms madly "I won't give up dammit! Not me, I will succeed! I am all-powerful! I, Tala Sexy Beast Gorgeousness Ivanov, shall conquer all!"
"Good" Rei nodded, clapping "Let's get out of here"
"You speak wise words," Tala mumbled, walking alongside him and chattering aimlessly. Peering out of a window he squawked "Ah! We're late! We were supposed to be at that place ten minutes ago! Ah, what place were we supposed to meet the others? What place?" He shrieked, grabbing Rei by the shoulders and shaking him.
"Uh….the slides?" Rei guessed.
"You beautiful person!" Tala screamed, hugging the neko-jin and kissing his cheeks before sprinting away to the exit. Rei gawped, surprised and disorientated. Hearing Tala call for him he made his way forward, eventually standing beside the impatient Russian and getting dragged to the slides, where an impatient Bryan and scuffling Max and Tyson were waiting. "I'm sorry!" Tala flung himself to the floor and started bowing "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't be mad!"
Bryan was taken aback by the way Tala was acting and crouched down stopping him from making even more of a fool of himself "It's alright, you're not that late"
"Really, Bry'?" His blue eyes shimmered.
"Yes, really-omph!" Bryan was knocked backwards by Tala, resulting in them hugging on the floor. Rei smiled down at them.
"My turn!" Max cheered "See you guys soon!" Rei turned his sunny orbs onto the blonde who had a pink turtle atop his golden locks. He was wearing a black vest and black trousers with a ripped piece of material wrapped around his waist like a sarong "Come on then, I'm not waiting for you" Max called, already marching off. "I'm Max Tate. So, why do you like Kai?"
Rei knew it would be harder to get along with Max than Tala; the blonde's voice was reproachful "Um, I-"
"Is it that hard to find something to like about him that you stumble over your words?" He asked calmly, blue eyes narrowed and pinpointed on a patch on grass in the distance.
"I'm sorry, I was just startled by the question"
"Hm"
"I like Kai because he's funny-"
"Tch. Typical answer. People who don't even know Kai personally can say they like him for that"
"W-well, he always makes me feel happy and safe, I'm interested about him and I…I can't explain it but there's something just there that I don't understand. Everything about him is great because …it's part of who he is"
"Sappy, but passable answer" Rei breathed in relief "How much do you know about him?"
"I know about his grandfather and how he met Tala"
"Ah" Reaching the wide expanse of grass he sat down and gazed around at the families eating and children laughing as they played. "Not bad so far" He said to himself, before saying louder "Where did you and Tala go?"
"The fun house" He chuckled, gesturing to the blobs of powder here and there "Tala's really eccentric isn't he?"
Max grimaced lightly as he peered up at the sky "That's putting it nicely"
"So, what's that?"
Rei was pointing at the plushie on his head "That's Mr. Black, he rule's the world. My mother gave him to me, one of best moments we had was when she played a game about Mr. Black with me as a child. Not like that with her anymore."
"How come?"
"Meh, her and my dad went through a rough patch with divorce and all that shit. She was off working at the lab when my dad had a health scare so I looked after him. She didn't care; I tired to be the perfect son for her. But then I got older, and voila one bastard of a son" He sneered, glaring at a cloud above "My dad always tried to be strong, he never showed that he was hurting."
"Is your dad ok now?"
"Yeah, he's rocking my home town up north and has a girlfriend. Mom's in the USA, so Mr. Black reminds me of the times she was actually a mother"
"I think, maybe, she was upset by the divorce too, so work gave her something to take her mind off of it."
"Hmm, never thought of it that way" Max turned his deep blue eyes to Rei and gave him a lazy smile "It's funny that commitment problems come with children with broken families, eh?" He said randomly, Max was like that. He grinned, "Who knows, I might end up like my mother, minus the female stuff and all that jazz"
"I don't think you'd be like her"
"What makes you think that?"
"Because Kai wouldn't be your friend if you would do something like that"
Max resisted shaking his head, lying back on the grass and yawning with a smile "I think you're with Tyson next, you'll be fine with him. He loves to have fun and be carefree. And to eat, you wouldn't think it though because he doesn't put on the weight. Kai is forever chasing him after learning the food is gone."
Rei rolled his eyes at the mental image "Are you and Kai really good friends?"
"Kai? Yeah, first I didn't understand him. Hmm, I suppose we first bonded when he stuck up for me in an interview against another band. You see the boss of our record label owns other record labels and we get together once in a while for promotion, the fans love it. We're all called 'Aoki's creations' because Takao Aoki is the boss. Anyway Johnny took the piss out of me and Kai defended me" He smiled "We had always gotten along before but when he done that I knew he was someone to keep close. He didn't assume I was a lonely sad case and just allowed me to be myself. I hear you've got an interview with Aoki-sama too?"
"Well I didn't really know his credibility before today, but yeah. I got a phone call from a girl who told me, it's on Wednesday"
"That's pretty soon. Just be yourself around him, he loves to take chances, which is probably why he accepted to see you in the first place. Wednesday…ah I remember, you'll be up against other applicants as well, it's like a big interview get together every couple of days because so many people want to join" He fell silent for a moment as he looked at his wristwatch, winking at a couple of girls who were drooling over him and stood up "Time to go back, I bet Kai's blown a fuse, I'll have to phone him now. Always worth a laugh"
Tyson ran up as soon as he saw the two males and grabbed Rei's hands, jumping up and down "Hi! I'm Tyson Granger! The best damn drummer in the world!"
Rei nodded with a smile, Max cuffed the blue haired Japanese over the head "Don't be so vain, take care" He walked off, flipping his mobile phone open, standing with one hip to the side by a stall "Hey Kai"
"Max, I am going to-!"
"Rei's fine. You got that? Fine" He shouted over the furious voice that died down "He's cool. Sexy as hell too" He smirked when he heard Kai growl, "Damn, his ass is gorgeous isn't it?" He teased, twirling a piece of hair around his finger as another growl greeted his ears and a threat "Oh, don't be jealous. I still think yours is the best!" He laughed, "I'm joking! Joking! Shut up already! -Packet of Wrigleys please? -No not you Kai" He handed some money to the cashier as he was handed his chewing gum and popped one into his mouth "When are you going to tell Rei about your last relationship?"
"Well…"
"Kai, I really think you should tell him soon. I'm God, I know best-No, Kai, I'M God, not you-shut up. Tala has already 'interviewed' him, then I did –no I wasn't horrible- now Tyson. Then the best for last…Bryan…"
"It's strange isn't it?" Takao laughed, taking his cap off to run a hand through his hair and put it back on "Because of Kai you now know everyone in the band. Don't be too scared of Bryan, he's not evil really. He's just extremely protective over us-especially Kai. He's like his father or something, and Tala's the mother. Just talk to him about Tala and he'll soften up. I wish those idiots would make a move already" He nodded to confirm his speech and aimed a ball at the pile of bottles piled on each other before throwing "Since you're new to the music business I'll tell you a couple of things"
"You don't have to" Rei said as he watched Tyson throw another ball "Don't put yourself out for me"
"Twap!" He said over his shoulder "I'm not. Right, you're going to an interview with Aoki-sama. Hmm, he likes it when you can mingle seriousness with laughter; you have to make him feel at ease. I know that sounds weird since it'll be you that will be nervous, but make him happy and you're half way in. That's about it"
"Thanks" Rei tried to store the information away in his mind "Is it hard to make an impression?"
"Eh…well, from experience no, but it is Kai after all. He blows people away with his voice. It goes to show that first impressions aren't always important, when I first met Kai I thought 'ah great another Russian punk that's going to take the piss out of us all' and Kai told me with no hesitation that I was 'a self absorbed prat with no brain and next to no talent'. But then we were forced to work together one day and we got along. We were a tag team in that paint ball shooting game for one of Aoki's-creations contests" He gave an evil chuckle "Couldn't recognise the rest of the buggers when we were done! Ohh, um which one should I have?" He chewed his fingernail thoughtfully and idly fingered his jade necklace "I'll have the bear"
The stall owner smiled and got down a Japanese style cartoon bear with bright pink and aqua circles around it's eyes and a heart imprinted on it's squishy stomach. "Cute!" Rei laughed, poking it as they ventured off.
Tyson grinned, waving at people who stopped and gawped at seeing a celebrity. Some even had camera phones out and Rei ducked his head, aware of all the probing eyes. Tyson saw this and rushed away with the neko-jin. "Don't let them bother you, you're very photogenic so just play off it. Flirt with the camera, wow it, seduce it!" Tyson jumped in the air and punched it with his fist "You are their master remember! Make them love you"
"Um…"
"Speak the language of love, la amour or something equally French" The Japanese frowned "I don't know French. I had three years of it at school and all I can remember is that my teacher was a lesbian" He shrugged offhandedly when Rei laughed. "She was really strict" He paused, lips pursed as he thought about something "Actually, all the women I know are kind of strict, you think they'd be all cute, but no, they're like mini Hitler's or something. Are they all like that?"
Rei shook his head "My friend Mariah is really sweet and caring, she's younger than me but acts like a big sister. She went off the rail when a boy kicked me before; she chased him away using her hair ribbon as a weapon. When he wouldn't apologise she sat on his back and wrapped the ribbon around his neck. He turned blue before anyone stopped her"
"…I thought you said she was sweet and caring!"
"She is. Her appearance is really feminine but damn, don't ever pick a fight with her"
Tyson snorted, a silly grin on his tanned face as he sat at a bench and leaned back on it "Sounds like my brother, only he didn't look feminine"
"I didn't know you have one"
"Well, he died" Tyson sighed "Hiro was my big bro', he taught me how to play the drums, he was a hardcore rock fan. He had the piercing, the tattoos, the motorbike and the air of freedom about him. Even though his boots would crush you in half a second he never wanted to hurt anybody. As a kid I would just sit there watching him pound his heart out into the drum kit, when he stopped I would be all 'again, wow, Hiro that was so cool!' He just ruffled my hair saying he wasn't that good. This is his hat," He pointed to his black backwards baseball hat "He gave it to me when I was five, after I successfully played my first song on the drums. Nobody could get me off my high that day, I was the man"
The Chinese smiled hearing the love in Tyson's voice. He wasn't angsting, even though his hair was blowing into his eyes the right way for him to angst.
"You want to know why he died?"
"If you want to tell me"
"Because he saved a girl from being raped. Pretty twisted, eh? While she got away, he got stabbed, she called an ambulance but after Grandpa and I saw him, he went. Grandpa said he was just hanging on for us to see him, so we could say our last goodbyes. When I got home I slept in Hiro's bed, picked up his drumsticks the next day and I knew what I wanted to be from then on"
"No wonder you play with so much ambition"
Tyson nodded slightly, hands behind his head as he turned his face to the sun and closed his eyes to relax, clothes rustling in his movement. Rei shook his head at his own attire, which was rather plain and simple next to the band's clothing. Noticing the boy picking at his clothes, Tyson leant forward and rested his head on his hands.
"You need some new threads, they got a pretty cool clothing store around here with weird stuff from everywhere. Come on, I feel like dishing out some cash anyway" The hat wearing youth tapped his back pockets and placed a hand over Rei's mouth before he could object "Hey, listen kid" Rei found that weird since he was older than Tyson "I don't think you've ever actually had anyone spend money on you before, and since you've helped Kai and well you know all that lovey-dovey junk, it's the least I can do. Besides, you're going to need new clothes for when you have to sing and get promoted. Don't you know us Japanese love wearing all different styles of clothes? Anything and everything goes when you shop with me, so let's get going. NOW!" He shouted as Rei protested again and jabbed the boy in the back with a friendly grin before he devoured the stalls and booths.

"Ah-ahhhhh-no-n-yesyesyes! Come-on-baby! YesyesyesyesNO!" Kai hissed, pounding the game controller with his thumbs as he glared at the television screen "Come on Sora, damn you, TURN! GOOD! THANK YOU"
The mini, spiky haired brunette character of the game swung his Keyblade though the heartless and Kai laughed evilly. The music for enemies disappeared, telling Kai there were no more bad guys about and he pushed the joystick so Sora would set off running. Hastily reaching for his soda can, Kai settled back into the sofa from where he had been jumping about and shouting through the battle scene, singing to 'Simple and Clean' in his spare time.
Yes, he had given up swearing at his band mates and had decided to take his frustration out on 'Kingdom Hearts' he always got into games so he preferred to be alone whilst playing them anyway. Somewhere between thinking how hot Riku was and how Kairi should be appreciated more, he forgot that his lover might be insane or suicidal at this moment in time.

A girl, popping her bright blue bubblegum assisted Tyson as he searched through the clothing racks, measuring Rei's thin waist for clothes that didn't fit skin tight but rather hanged gorgeously off his angles whilst his slender form was still there.
"Ok Rei here's something to boost sex appeal" Tyson smirked, holding up some silver trinkets "Jewellery. Men should always wear jewellery, it's just the awesomeness" It seemed as though Tyson had a secret passion for shopping "Never be afraid to wear jewellery!"
"O-ok"
"Also, change your hair now and then, throw some accessories in. You got the perfect hair and fringe for little hair clips that slide over each other and experiment with wax and partings, get rid of the headband sometimes as well, use bandana's and caps and hats, whatever. Hair is a big factor you know."
Rei smiled meekly.
"Embrace all colours! Don't always wear jeans, even though you have got the ass for them." Rei blushed profusely "You saw what Max was wearing, with the ripped material hanging around his trousers? That'd suit you too, it's not that hard to be fashionable!" Rei nodded hastily, the Japanese in front of him ranting on and on, stopping to comment on a top now and then and continuing. This boy was just about as passionate about shopping as he was with music. "Good, believe me, fans adore it when they open a magazine to see their crushes in something so daring but good looking. It's love in the purest form I tell you!"
Rei was sure he didn't have the heart or stomach to be as confident in wearing bold clothes; he only really ever wore his plain tops and jeans or his Chinese styled clothes. But yet even Kai wore things that were randomly chosen and they looked …well anything would look great on Kai, Rei deciphered. "Lovely to see you embrace your, eh, feminine side"
"Nyah, nyah, nyah! Shopping is a sport I'll have you know" Tyson poked his tongue out and collected the bags to stuff them all into one big carrier and held it by placing the straps over the crook in his arm "It's Bryan time, now Rei, it was nice knowing you"
"You say that like I'm about to die" Tyson quickly looked at the floor, striding out of the shop with tense footsteps. Rei's mouth fell open and he ran to catch up with him. "I'm not really, am I?" Again there was no answer "Tyson? I am, aren't I?"
"No!" He said unconvincingly "D-don't be so silly"
"…"
"Now listen!" Tyson turned and placed his hands on Rei's shoulders "Remember, he can't kill you because Kai would never forgive him alright? I-if you get hurt then…just…don't hit him back…no…uh…talk about Tala. Oh, ah, um, urr…Sorry dude, I got nothing"
Rei slapped his forehead, groaning and mumbling intelligible things as Tyson bit his bottom lip, dancing on the spot, shaking his hands frantically. "He's going to kill me!"
"N-no! It'll be ok! Uncle Ty' is here, it'll be ok, calm down" He sobbed, pulling the Chinese into a hug and petting the top of his hair "Shh, you'll make it through. Be brave!"
"You're right!" Rei fisted his hand in front of him, stepping forward determinedly to walk around the corner but shrinking back as soon as he saw Bryan glaring off into the distance "Ok, I can't do it"
"He'll hunt you down anyway buddy" Tyson looked over Rei's shoulder to see the Russian and sighed heavily "I'll be with you every step of the way"
"Until he drags me to my doom"
"True, but come on. This is the big one, show him that nothing will stop you from being with Kai…or living for that matter" Rei wanted to puff out his chest and march up to Bryan, look him dead in the eye and be a man, but in reality he was whining like a little girl. "He's not too scary when you get to know him I promise"
"Ok, let's go" So then, a very unsure Rei, followed by a very worried Tyson, stepped forth and took one little step at a time to the three waiting musicians. "Hi, how are you? I'm fine! Really! What a lovely day! Don't you think? Ahahahah" Rei ranted. Talk about social suicide.
Max nodded and went back to peering in a plastic bag, Tala smiled and waved and Bryan grunted and walked off. Tala jumped forward and pushed Rei to follow him, stumbling over his own feet Rei made sure to keep some distance between them. The Russian had very clear, long strides that showed he knew exactly where they were going. "Hurry up" He snapped after seeing Rei dawdling behind.
"Sorry"
There was complete silence between them as Bryan made his way to the Ferris wheel. Rei hadn't felt this pathetic in a while "In" The order was barked, as the platinum haired male held open a capsule door into the clear carriage. He shut it after he climbed in and surprisingly took a seat right next to Rei. He crossed one leg over the other and folded his arms, glaring straight ahead, while Rei timidly peered out of the window, hands clasped together in an effort not to fidget "How old are you?"
Rei jumped at the sudden question "Nineteen"
"Ah, so you love Kai"
"Yes"
"Ah"
"Mm" Rei mentally cringed; he wasn't exactly wowing the elder with his passionate declaration of love for Kai.
"Have you told him that?"
"Last night"
"When?"
Rei blushed, now successfully fidgeting as he pulled the bottom of his top nervously "In bed"
Bryan cocked an eyebrow "Oh…so you've gone that far with him?"
Why did talking to Bryan feel like talking to an over protective father or big brother? "Y-yeah" His sunny orbs were transfixed on that shiny red balloon far below.
"Did you use protection?"
Rei spluttered, hitting his head against the window in embarrassment, trying to talk but ending up in a coughing fit "S-sorry!" He managed, clearing his throat and shaking his head to clear it, hoping he had heard wrong. "D-did you just ask-?"
Bryan glared "Listen, the others would have just danced around this but I'm going to tell you Kai had a fucked up relationship with the last guy he was with, so you better treat him right or your face won't be so pretty anymore, got it?" Rei nodded ferociously "You can stop nodding now"
He stopped faster than the eye could follow "Sorry" He ran over himself in his mind for saying that blasted word "Kai hasn't told me about that"
"So? What do you expect him to spill everything to you?" Bryan glared, momentarily lifting his head from where it had been comfortably resting on a hand to stare at the neko-jin with flashing green eyes.
"N-no! I'm just saying I didn't know about that, it is something I would like to know!" He felt anger bubbling up, it was his boyfriend after all "I do actually care about him and take interest in how he's been doing, so if some scum has made him worry about my relationship with him I'd like to hear about it"
"Hm" Bryan smirked
"And I don't want to know from you before you even accuse me of it because I don't mind that Kai hasn't told me yet as long as he does then that's fine, it's something he has to get over and I can't force him into telling me" He was fired up now and he wouldn't shut up for anyone "Another thing, I don't know why you are being so moody with me! I'm not out to get you so…" Unable to settle for a word, he merely poked his tongue out. Bryan smirked before shooting forward, a knife in his hand all of a sudden.
"Put that tongue back inside if you don't want it to be chopped off"
Rei's mouth snapped shut with a resounding click. His eyes wide as his chin was held in the strong grip, face tilted up and that gleaming weapon not far from his lips. "Could you please move that?"
"Tala told me you were quite amusing once you got fired up"
Amusing? What was he, a clown for the bassist's sick entertainment? "Er, thank you?"
"You must think I'm wrong for telling you about Kai's relationship, you needed to be told the fact of it but it's Kai's job to tell you the rest. I can't actually determine if you'd be good for him without seeing how you are about his past, even though you don't know the half of it"
"I understand"
"Good, and don't tell Kai that I care this much"
"I won't" Rei smiled "It's quite sweet, you getting all embarrassed about it"
"I still have a knife you know"
Rei faltered, eyes darting to the knife still hovering in front of his face "So, about Tala" He changed the subject to the safety net conversation that would stop him from becoming killed.
"What about Tala?" Bryan withdrew, leaning back in his seat.
"Well, he's …nice don't you think?"
"Hm"
"And good looking. He'd be a good boyfriend"
"Hm" This time it was grunted with more harshness and Rei shook his head.
"No, not for me, I mean for you. As a couple. Together. You and Tala. Yeah…why are you looking at your nails?"
"You're speaking bullshit"
"I think you'd make a cute couple, come on Bryan-pi!" (It sounded cute) He laughed, eyes sharp for any gleaming metal "Why won't you get together?"
"I'm not going to tell you my relationship problems, Kon"
"Oh, so there is a problem?" Bryan cursed, realising his mistake and covered his face with his arms "Is it someone else?"
"Yes! He gives all his damn attention to that damn pig!" Bryan said; voice muffled by his arms. Rei's face lit up and he clapped his hands together declaring Bryan's jealousy as 'adorable' "Shut up you fool!"
Rei covered his mouth "Un wo ike dim!"
"…Take your hand away from your mouth"
"You do like him! Well, the…pig? What pig?"
"The stupid, freaking guinea pig!" He hissed.
"Guinea pig? Ohh, cute! I love them!"
"Tch"
"Apparently you don't agree," He laughed, nudging Bryan. He wasn't mean after all, just a boy with a constant sore head "Bryan-pi should get together with Tala! He likes you"
"Shut up" Bryan muttered half heartedly, what was near a pout etched on his face. Rei did as he was bid until the platinum haired man looked at him; eyebrows furrowed "Bryan-pi?"
Rei rolled his eyes; an uneasy smile shared with the other before he raised his hands like paws and tilted his head "Pi?"
Bryan snorted, leaning back in his chair "I was wrong, you're defiantly right for Kai" Rei felt flattered-even though it wasn't meant to be taken as a compliment, wandering off to his own dream land before he got hit upside the head. Snapping out of it he looked to see Bryan already outside, the ride having stopped "Come on, you idiot"
"Heh" Rei climbed out and thanked Bryan for waiting, he liked this weird respect growing between them "You know, I was scared first of all, but you're actually friendly once past the glares and…knifes"
He sighed, as though it was a bother for him to reply "And I guess you're alright yourself" He noticed Rei smiling and coughed awkwardly "You know, once past the pathetic-ness and obvious gayness you have"
"Hey!" Rei squawked, pushing Bryan away and bolting off when the man had regained his balance.
"Oh no!" Tyson exclaimed, jumping to his feet "Rei really is going to die! I cursed him!" He flung himself to the ground.
Max poked Tyson with his foot "And you call yourself hardcore, feh"
XPXPXP
"Heh heh…eh….hi?"
"YOU'RE DEAD!"
Bryan quickly sidestepped and opened the front door as Tala ran shrieking past him. With a sigh, he closed it after Kai went after him and rubbed his temples.
"Bakatari" Max uttered about Kai, seeing the state of the living room and a game on pause. Kicking some mess aside, he landed boneless back on the sofa, picked up the controller and resumed the game with a bored expression "Tch, there's not enough blood in this thing"
"-Ne me mori facias. SEP-HIR-ROTH!" Tyson sang, waving his hands like a conductor.
Bryan groaned; Tyson hadn't stopped singing that since Final Fantasy 7 came out "Tyson. Shut up" He hissed.
The drummer pouted "But-"
"Sephiroth is coooolll, I know!" The eldest snapped "But that doesn't mean you have to sing his song all the time!"
Max made a small proud noise as he defeated a boss quickly; he turned his attention to the others whilst a cut scene played. He smirked upon hearing Bryan's last words and stood up, on the sofa, and started jumping up and down, shouting "SEPHIROTH! SEPHIROTH! LA LA LA I DON'T KNOW LATIN! SEPHIROTH!"
Tyson joined him "WE ARE SO COOL LIKE THAT! SEPHIROTH! WHAT SHOULD WE PUT ON TALA'S HEADSTONE? SEPHIROTH! REI IS LOOKING REALLY SCARED! SEP-"
"I will cut off your knobs! SEPHIROTH!" Bryan yelled, the youngest immediately sat down and peered over the back of the sofa innocently at the bassist. Bryan breathed out slowly and nodded to himself before walking away to the kitchen, ignoring Tyson and Max's giggles.
A very ruffled and distracted looking Kai came into the room then, looking between everyone with a confused face before shrugging "Rei, it's late, I'll take you home"
Rei thanked the lord he was escaping the household. He never did find out what happened to Tala that night.
XPXPXP
Finally arriving outside of the block of apartments, Kai stopped his car, looking up at the building through the windscreen "You nervous?"
"About tomorrow?"
"Yeah"
"Very. What if I don't get the job, what if he hates me, what if-?"
"What if I was made of jelly?" Kai added conversationally
"That too" Rei agreed, "Things would certainly be stickier, eh?"
Kai smirked a pervert's smirk. Rei hit him upside the head. The dual hair sniffed and rubbed the back of his head "I hope you feel guilty for that, I was going to help prepare you for tomorrow and everything, but no, not anymore, you mere mortal" He turned his nose up and crossed his arms "Plebian"
Rei sighed patiently and slumped against the bluenette "So you're just going to leave me to die?" He whined
Kai inspected the steering wheel "Nmmr" He shrugged, Rei's head raising because of the movement.
Rei butted Kai's arm with his nose and pawed at it pitifully. The Russian's upper lip curled before he cursed and shook his head. Rei shot him a victory sign and hugged him for his efforts to be nice.
"Come on then, it's going to be a long night if I have to prepare you for tomorrow"
"What are you insinuating?" Rei asked, looking at Kai suspiciously from the corner of his eyes.
Kai flashed him a smile and got out of the car, deaf to Rei's cries of protests as he pulled the neko-jin out after him and locked the car. Rei only stopped asking suspicious sounding questions when Kai shoved him in front of his apartment door. "Must you be so talkative?"
"Yes. I must. For the world would be sad without my talent of talking, and such things like it that only I can do so well" Rei explained, rubbing his cheek against his tiger plushie and looking up at Kai through long eyelashes that curled slightly at the end. He pulled the celebrity down onto the sofa and snuggled up to him, fingers curling into the expensive shirt as he listened to his heartbeat "Kai?" He spoke, after some time "Why did you become a musician?"
Kai half smiled at the question, one he had heard so many times from magazines and countless people, only this time he'd give a truthful answer "My mother loved singing" Rei closed his eyes, relaxing into the rhythm of Kai's breathing and the fingers running listlessly through his hair "What about you, why do you want to be a songwriter?"
"Because I want that feeling that a songwriter gets when they hear their song come to life. I now you stopped me with these type's of questions earlier, but what if he doesn't like my work?"
"I can't answer that, I can't predict what will happen. You'd come back home, feel depressed, eat lots of ice cream then go to work"
Rei agreed whole-heartedly, that would be what he would do "What if there's no ice cream?" He asked fearfully.
The singer grinned up at the ceiling "Just don't get drunk, you're underage" He grabbed the neko-jin by his shoulders and pulled him up, placing a gentle kiss on his mouth "Don't ever get drunk" He whispered into Rei's mouth.
Rei cocked an eyebrow, tilting his head to the side "That's your advice?"
Kai nodded confidently, nipping Rei's bottom lip.
"I'm going to suck"
"Not"
"I so am. He's going to take one look at me and go 'what a waste of my time' then kick me out of the building" He cried mournfully.
"With that attitude it won't be a surprise"
"Hey! You're supposed to be supportive"
Kai looked morally offended "Fine, yay Rei, go, whee"
"You speak dead words"
"It's hard to be supportive when you act like a …Tyson"
"When I act like a Tyson?"
"No I mean" Kai tugged Rei's top, letting it go to watch it mould back to Rei then tugged it again "This reminds me of him"
"Why?"
"Because he loves shopping and this is the style he normally has us wear" Rei grinned at that piece of information, Tyson dressed them? For some reason, that sounded oddly cute "It looks good on you"
Rei opened his mouth to explain Tyson actually picked his shirt but got distracted when Kai licked his lips, still roaming his eyes over the neko-jin "Kai, I'm going to be such a girl for saying this but my face is up here" He pointed to his face and brought Kai's own up by holding his chin. The bluenette gave him a ditzy smile, lowering his eyes again. He got smacked on the arm for that.
"What? Most people would kill to have me look at them like that"
"Oh sorry, should I feel special because of that?"
"You'll be fine tomorrow, you'll blow them away"
XPXPXP
"Wake up, Rei!"
A groan. A flailing arm. And a 'khljdsuj' was Rei's reply.
A bowl full of ice cold water was Kai's reply to Rei.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Rei shot up out of the bed, his arms floating beside him as water trickled down his bare skin, turning to glare heatedly and disoriented at Kai, who was perched on his knees on the bed.
"Hi! Are you ready for your interview?" He said brightly, throwing the bowl to the side and bouncing over to the younger, pushing him out of the room to the bathroom where the shower was already running "Shower. Now." He ordered, making sure to tease/ torment Rei as he marched him into the shower and then leave him. Rei's shoulder's slumped as he cursed, reaching for the shower gel. Kai brushed off his hands before inspecting Rei's cupboards for something he could cook. "Eh, instant ramen, soup, what the fuck, brown thing" His pointing finger paused the unintelligible container but quickly returned to poke at it, unable to resist "Cereal bar, spaghetti thingy's…" He shut the cupboard door "To the fridge!"
(Space)
Rei padded into the lounge, rubbing a towel through his now citrus scented hair, and sniffed "What's that smell?"
"It's egg's with turnip, it's all you had, eat up!" Kai presented the dish with a flourish.
"Actually, I need to wash my hair…again" With that Rei ran back out.
"No matter, I can heat it back up"
"You can't heat eggs back up!"
"Wanna bet?" He growled, staring at the eggs as through challenging them. Neither blinked.
He had been in a staring competition with the eggs for about ten minutes when the ebony haired boy ventured back, slowly as to decide if it was safe or not "Are you…staring at the eggs?"
"No"
"…Oh"
"They're staring at me!" He growled deeper "Bastards"
"On second thought, I don't want to be famous, you're all on crack"
XPXPXPXP
Rei tugged at his sleeve nervously, checking he had his portfolio with him for the hundredth time, straightening his top. For the millionth time, he reminded himself to calm down, went over those reassuring words Kai had said and wondered if his breath was ok. Casting a quick glance around, he checked. Ah, minty fresh.
"Wish he'd hurry up" A Scottish accented voice drawled as four men walked into the building
"Patience. He said he only wants a quick talk"
"Quick talk my ass"
"And so begins the highly intelligent argument of Johnny McDickhead" The blond smirked at the redhead, quickly ducking behind Oliver once Johnny swung for him. The green haired man smiled, tilting his head to the side. The Scotsman sat down, obviously in a bad temper.
Rei's eyes widened, great, now he had some weirdo's in the same room as him as well as being nervous. His eyes met violet ones and he lowered them immediately. But it was too late; the redhead had already caught the look Rei was unknowingly giving them.
"Got a problem?"
Rei shook his head, staring down at his shoes. Johnny scoffed but fell silent at a stern look off Robert. Enrique, however, didn't obey. "Hey cutie, do you need any help?"
Rei shook his head again, blushing.
"Just ignore the idiot over there, he's always in a PMS'ing mood"
"Right you bastard, you can't hide behind your girlfriend this time!" Johnny roared leaping up
Robert grabbed the back of the man's collar and pulled him back down to his seat. "Behave"
"So why are you here?"
"Interview" Rei mumbled, feeling more than a bit uneasy.
"Well duh, Sherlock!"
"Shut up Johnny, its no wonder he doesn't want to speak to you" Oliver reprimanded, walking over to sit next to the raven hair. He smiled kindly and placed a hand on his shoulder "What's your interview about?"
"Song writing and singing"
"Ah, come on don't be so shy!" Enrique laughed, deciding to sit on the floor in front of Rei with a childish glint in his eyes "Can I have a look at that 'en?" He nodded to the portfolio currently in a death grip. Rei hesitated, unsure what to do. The Italian noticed and grinned, poking him in the leg "Ah, come on, please?" The neko-jin handed it over avoiding eye contact, fidgeting even more "Yay!" Enrique cheered, leaning back to lie on the floor.
Rei looked at Oliver oddly, the French man giggled "He's always like that hun'. So are you nervous?"
"A bit"
"It'll be fine!" Oliver exclaimed throwing his hands into the air, he brushed some hair from his eyes and rearranged his cap. Wearing a black 'S.L.U.T' top with a lip ring on the side of his mouth. His blue-purple eyes outlined by black kohl. He had a sense of femininity around him, and Rei found it rather fitting that he wore a pentacle around his neck. It represented nature and femininity; specifically it represented the goddess Venus. The green haired man was cheery and polite. One glance at the bluish eyes told Rei that he was a man who loved the arts. A hidden intellect in their depths. He glanced at Robert who was, well, bitching to Johnny. Enrique was still on the floor, his foot bobbing to some rhythm only he heard.
The sandy haired male sat up, nodding at Rei "It is good, beautifully written, but I would say you were by far more beautiful"
"For the love of god" Oliver sighed, shaking his head
"Thank you," He said meekly, taking back his portfolio.
Enrique inclined his head "No, thank you for allowing me to read up on your talent."
Oliver giggled again "Ah, you still don't know?"
"No?" Rei asked totally confused.
Johnny stood behind Enrique and rolled his eyes "We're Free reign! Like the most successful band ever!"
"OH! You're the one who's going against Kai!" The Chinese male blurted out.
"Magnifique! You know Kai Hiwatari?"
"Yeah, not much though, uh…"
Enrique smirked, winking at Oliver "Oh, ok"
Rei gave a feeble smile back, chewing on a fingernail "So, you're going against Kai"
"Yes, I'm going against that bastard and I'm going to pummel him to the ground" Johnny growled, eyes darkening as he glowered at the songwriter.
Enrique stood up "Forgive him, he is constipated"
"RIGHT TH-"
"Mr. Rei Kon, would you please move to lobby 36, where the rest are waiting?" A friendly female voice popped up, her eyes straying to Johnny with his fist in mid-air.
"Thanks!" Rei said quickly, standing up and bowing before running off. Robert quickly stepped in to save Enrique from death. The Scotsman's face was red from anger but the younger two teased him for it instead
"Ah, it is because he is in love with Robert, no?"
The Italian laughed, placing his arm around Oliver's waist "Love-Hate relationship Ollie-baby, isn't it just obvious?"
"So sweet" He cried, clapping his hands together "Amour!"
Enrique smirked, singing a corny love song as he grabbed Oliver's hand and danced across the lobby with him "But of course, Johnny would be the lady!"
The only sound that filled the room after that was 'GRRRRR!' and two sets of giggles.
"Mr. Kon?" The same women called, Rei stood up, dodging the other applicants to follow her. "Good luck" She smiled, before leaving him in front of very grand, very intimidating doors.
His golden eyes slid close, head bowed as Rei steadied himself. 'I can do this, it's my dream, everything I've ever wanted. It's all about now' He cracked open one eye and folded his arm's, chewing on his fingernails of one hand again as he shuffled his feet. He clicked his tongue and reached out for the shiny handle, gulping and muttering 'Oh damn' as he opened it.
"Good morning Mr. Kon"
"Morning, I hope you are well" Rei replied, shaking Mr. Aoki's hand firmly. 'Crap, crap, crap, crap'
"Very well thank you, and your self?"
'Crap, crap, crap, crap' "Fine, thank you, a little nervous though" He admitted 'Crap, crap, crap, crap'
"No need to worry, please sit"
'Did he say shit or sit? Oh man which one does he want me to do? Ah, too late for one of those anyway' Rei shook his head, reminding himself that he should calm down and settled into squishy chair with a worried smile. With the grip he had on his portfolio at that moment no one was going to pry it off him.
Pray for the dear neko-jin. He needs it.
Insanewelshangel: OMG I AM SO GLAD THAT'S FINISHED! SO TIRED! Bryan-Pi, sounded cute so I've decided that's what Rei will call Bryan (got idea from my nickname courtesy of Nat-chan).
Ha! Yes, clearly 'Takao's creations' is influenced by Johnny's Entertainment (which, like, pretty much pwns Japan) because they are full of very shiny men, and have all these different record labels in one big, rule-your-ass enterprise. Therefore, Kai and Oliver are in the same enterprise but not necessarily the same record label. Also called 'Aoki's creations' because originally they are. (andIcouldn'tbebotheredtocomeupwithagoodname) OK! XD;;;
