Inquires into a Life
Featuring Inui, Fuji, Yanagi, Yukimura
-
"Are you and Yukimura dating?" Inui asks. There is no calendar or notebook or PDA in front of him, but he doesn't need it for the time being: he mentally records everything Fuji says and does, vowing to write them down later.
"What makes you ask?" Fuji questions, instead of replying.
"You have been spending a lot of time together. More than usual for two models."
"It's a cutthroat world," Fuji agrees, and moves away before Inui can grill him further on the status of his relationship with Yukimura.

"Sadaharu is curious to know about your relationship with Fuji," Yanagi tells Yukimura. "He was asking me, complaining he gets no answers from his client."
"Do you think you'll get answers from me?" Yukimura doesn't look up, doesn't glance at Yanagi, but Yanagi knows what to expect.
"No."
"I'm glad my agent isn't one who would get frustrated over not knowing."
"I just speculate and extrapolate and wait until I get some confirmation."
"You should be focusing on planning my schedule, shouldn't you?" Yukimura does look up then, glancing at his agent. There's no seriousness to his words, but he and Yanagi play this game all the time. There will be a reply.
"Keeping track of your schedule is hardly a time consuming task," Yanagi tells him. "It's you who is hard to keep track of."

"Does Yanagi bother you with questions?" Fuji asks lightly, as they stand together behind a curtain, waiting for the cues to take the catwalk. There's no chance for Yukimura to reply, because Tezuka is gesturing to Fuji and he disappears.
"Renji knows he won't get any answers from me." Yukimura has time to speak only briefly when Fuji returns before he too, is being ordered to the catwalk, facing flashing lights, too many loud people, and a world that adores him.
"That doesn't stop his curiosity though," Fuji returns, when Yukimura joins him once again.
"But that's what makes everything so fun."
Fuji smiles in response and says nothing. He agrees, only too well.
