Min'na kon'nichiwa! Gomenasai for the late update! I had writer's block. Well, please enjoy this next chapter of "Career, Love, and Family". (^.^)
"Takuma, that's not it." Kaname said, giving another chance for his blonde friend to guess who Zero actually is. The said Ichijo stared deeply at the silverette, eyeing every detail and guessing once more.
"Oh, so, he's the older brother then?" He asked, still oblivious to the fact that Zero had a blush on his face, clearly hinting that Zero was Kaname's 'lover'. The brunette face-palmed before running a hand through his brown locks in a frustrated manner, he sighed at his friend's overly dense attitude. The actor gave a glance to Zero, silently telling him to introduce himself as his lover. Zero blushed slightly before nodding and stepping forward with a raised hand.
"Good afternoon, Takuma, I'm Zero Kiryu. It's a pleasure to finally meet you since my darling Kaname couldn't stop talking about this and that about you." Zero smiled, catching the blonde off-guard, not to mention mesmerized, while Kaname was inwardly gaping as to how Zero called him and the way he acted, it was like a professional in drama.
He's a bishounen like Kaname… Takuma thought as his eyes still remained a fraction wider. He shook Zero's hand as a start of acquainting and glanced at Kaname. "Oh my, darling Kaname? I didn't know you were bisexual." The blonde grinned as his childhood friend smirked at him. Pulling Zero back to his side and placing a hand on his shoulder, Kaname smiled at Takuma.
"Well, I didn't know that either, but you know what they say. Fate has its ways to bring people together, and is just so happened that Zero captivated me the very first time I saw him." He said as he kissed Zero's hair lovingly, earning a blush from the silverette. The emerald-eyed male just grinned at the cute sight. He doesn't know what it is but he has a feeling that Zero is definitely the one for Kaname, the vibe was just rushing down Takuma's spine.
"I see, well, can I come in now?" The trio had been standing at the door way for who knows how long and Takuma was getting rather tired of standing. Having newly acquainted himself with Kaname's manager, Zero noticed Takuma's situation and stepped aside, letting the blonde go in. "Thank you Zero."
"So, since we still have about forty minutes left before the meeting, why don't you use ten of the remaining time to tell me about this Aido Hanabusa." Kaname said as they all settled in the living room. The two friends sat in Zero's living room while the silverette went in the kitchen preparing some refreshments.
"Ah, yes. Hanabusa Aido, a well-known actor usually starred in action and romance movies. Although when he isn't on movie work, he is usually invited in variety shows since he is known for his sense of humor and good looks." Zero entered the living room and placed some orange juice in front of the two males before sitting beside Kaname and listening in the conversation.
"Hmm…I see. I can understand why he would want me in one of his movies…since I only star in action films, plus, I am gorgeous as well." The actor said smugly and the two friends laughed while Zero just grinned. Takuma glanced at the silverette before he glanced back at Kaname.
"Well….I would really like to chat more but Kaname, we need to go now." The blonde drank his glass of juice then stood up stretching. The brunette also drank his glass down and pulled Zero up so they both stand. The actor turned to the silverette and placed both hands on his shoulders.
"Zero, dear, do you want to go with us?" This suggestion just popped up in Kaname's head a few minutes ago and surely it wouldn't hurt if his soon-to-be lover can witness his work right? At Kaname's question, Zero lightened up and his lavender eyes clearly told Kaname his answer.
"Can I, Kaname?" He asked. He just had to ask even though he really should've just say that he wanted to.
"Of course you can, Zero." Takuma chimed in, flowers were in the atmosphere and he had a grin on his facial features. "Then, shall we be off now?"
"Ah, please wait a moment. I need to change into proper clothes!" Zero was just wearing a white button up shirt and jeans. Surely it is not presentable in front of Kaname's co-actors or whoever.
"What you're wearing is fine Zero. Look at me. I'm going to go in just this." Kaname gestured to his black v-neck and black jeans.
"Enough wasting time! Let's go!" With that, Takuma dragged both of the bishies outside and into his car.
"Ah…this is where you work?" Zero asked Kaname in disbelief. Right now, they were in front of a huge building with the words 'Corporation of Beauties' on it. 'That's a stupid name to call it…' Zero thought.
"Yes." Kaname pulled Zero inside, following behind was Takuma, smiling at the two of them. Once inside, Zero was agape. The surroundings were grand, not to mention the people, they were gorgeous!
'I guess it isn't called Corporation of Beauties for nothing…' Zero thought. 'It seems I stand corrected…'
"So, Kaname, please proceed to meeting room number 9. You'll be expecting Aido soon, please wait there until he arrives. I shall be right with you in a while, I still have documents to sort through." Takuma then left to do what he had to do for the time being. He'll be discussing with Aido and Kaname as soon as he finishes, so he hopes that Kaname would do what he said.
"Alright." Kaname proceeded to the room with Zero in tow. Just as they arrived the at the door, Kaname turned to face the silverette. "Zero, let's go inside and wait, okay?" Zero just nodded before going in with Kaname. He's a little excited to see how Kaname will converse to work-related situations and right now seemed to be the perfect time to ease his anxiety.
Kaname sat at one of the comfy chairs while Zero kept browsing the room's décor. "This room looks like a living room…it's really unlike a conference room in other buildings." Zero thought out loud, earning a small smile from the actor.
"Well….it's designed to keep us comfortable and relaxed. If it were to be a conference room like what you just said...it would be stiff and it's like tension is evident in the air. To make a long story short, let's just say that we do it in luxury." The brunette said in an amused tone.
"I-I see…" After looking around, he took a seat next to Kaname on one of the comfortable cream-colored couches. "So….we'll wait for this 'Aido' guy?" Kaname just nodded as he spaced out, deeply in thought about something.
Knock. Knock. Creak…
The door opened and two figures were seen at the door. "Sorry, have you been waiting long, Kaname-sama?" A blonde-haired, blue-eyed noble asked the pureblood.
"No, I just arrived as well." Kaname said smiling.
"Hanabusa, why did I have to come?" The figure behind Aido asked. An orange-haired man with tanned skin was rubbing the back of his neck in frustration. Zero froze. His eyes were wide and his form shaking as he saw who it was.
"Zero?" The brunette asked, he noticed how Zero was suddenly acting.
"Zero? Zero Kiryu?" The tan glanced at Kaname's side and there he saw someone all too familiar.
"Akatsuki…?" The silverette whispered as tears started to pool down his eyes.
That's it for this chapter! I'm sorry for the long wait and I'm sorry if this chapter was short…. Please forgive me..well…please review for me to go on with the next chapter!
