Chapter 5: How a couple walks
"Yashiro-san have you heard anything about when we are suppose to film the scene over again?" Cain asked from the couch. Which made Yashiro look over at him in with a surprised look.
"DON'T YOU DARE THINK YOUR ACTUALLY GOING TO DO THAT SCENE AGAIN!" Setsu stated as she turned around to look at him which made him go bug eyed for a moment at her loudness and then he calmed.
"And why not?" he said flatly partly knowing that she was about to argue with him about this.
"What do you mean why not? You could have died and didn't you just promise me that you wouldn't do that to me again" she said with a pout. "That would mean that you should use a stunt double from now on."
"I don't think that would be necessary, anyways it wasn't completely my fault I'm sure it would be more secure next time."
"NO Cain there is no next time, please don't do it, you don't have to do everything yourself you know." she said as she made her way back over to him tears almost forming in her eyes thinking about what could possibly happen.
"I know that, but.."
"We'll just see what the Director wants to do from now on" Yashiro cut in. "If he says no then that's it a stunt double will be used if not well we'll just discuss this from there." I hope Director Ogata wants a stunt double now he thought looking at the two hoping this would end the argument.
"I agree with Yashiro-san" Setsu said a little more happy with the thought that it was in the directors hands now not Cain's. Cain just nodded and gave Yashiro a glare, noticing he wasn't going to win this fight at this point in time.
"Then we all agree" Yashiro stated and looked at his watch to figure out the time. "It's almost 6:30 now how about you two go and get something to eat its getting late and there's no need for you two to be here anymore." some time alone for them would be good right now he thought with a smile.
"Perfect, I am hungry" Setsu looked over at Cain who didn't look to thrill about the idea of food at the moment. How can I make him feel better….He's probably not hungry… He never is….but… that's it. "Cain" he looked up at her as she came a little closer "Cain, honey" she let her words drag out a little as a small smile formed on her face.
"Yes, do you need something Setsu?" why is she using that voice, and looking at me like that.
"Could you treat me? I don't have any money on me?" She giggled a little and put her hands on her hips. "Well there really isn't any place to put any money in this outfit I don't really have pockets, these on my jacket are fake." Which made him look her over once making him blush a little. Yeah I would agree there really isn't much to that outfit. Unconsciously he licked his lips slightly. "Anyways I got you right?"
"Ah, yes you do" more then she could possibly know. With that he stood. "Shall we go?"
Beep beep beep beep beep Yashiro's phone started to go off.
"Hello"
"Hi Yashiro-san?"
"Yes, President Takarada, how may I help you?" Cain stopped and looked over at Yashiro.
"Is Cain and Setsu still with you?"
"Yes they are sir" looking over at the two and motioning to them not to leave yet.
"Good, can you tell them that they both need to come and speak with Director Kuchiki and I at 7:30 we need to discuss some things with them."
"Yes sir I will relay the message." With that they said goodbye and he flipped his phone shut.
"It seems the President and Director Kuchiki would like to have a word with the two of you at 7:30 so if you choose somewhere near by to eat you shouldn't have a problem meeting with them."
"Alright" Cain said. Do I really want to know what they want? They seem too similar to each other this can't be good. They are probably planning something. "Let's go Setsu it seems we need to hurry" with that they exited the dressing room for the first time in hours.
They had a relatively peaceful dinner at a ramen stand just down the street. Neither one of them had talked much. Cain too busy glaring at any man that looked at Setsu or came within 15 feet of her and Setsu too oblivious to notice as she focused on the food in front of her. The only words between the two was Setsu telling Cain he had to eat all of it or she would be mad. It was a little after 7 when they finished and they began to make there way to the Presidents office.
They walked down the street quietly both lost in their own thoughts. So I have to be his girlfriend now…hmmm…I don't really know what that requires I've never had a boyfriend before…the closest thing too it was Sho…She shook her head at that thought trying to get it out of her mind...but they said it wouldn't be that different from what we are doing now….which I guess is true I mean I did have a brother complex which is kind of like being a girlfriend…maybe I can have Tsuruga-san help explain some of it to me later…maybe I should try to figure it out on my own though he didn't seem too thrilled about the idea earlier…she looked over at him to find he wasn't looking at her but staring off into the space in front of them thinking about something…I wonder why I mean its not like he's never had a role like that before right….maybe this is his first time too…maybe that's why he doesn't want to do it…no that couldn't possibly it he's a very popular actor and with his looks he's most defiantly had a girlfriend before…maybe its me then…I'm just going to have to prove myself….that I can do this...Kuu-san said that I should learn from experience to watch those around me. With that she started to scan the area to see if there were any couples around.
It was a nice night and the street was pretty popular so it was busy with people getting out of work and going to the different shops. It was then that she noticed the stares of some men off to their left. I wonder why they are looking at us….maybe they think we look weird. She thought with a worried look on her face oblivious to the fact that they were looking at her not Cain. She continued to scan the crowd as they walked and noticed a pair heading their direction to her right. They look like they could be a couple….they seem close…their holding hands…well I guess that would be something a couple would do…Director Kuchiki said that they would have to touch more so that's got to be something a couple does while they are out with each other walking. She looked over at Cain again he still wasn't paying attention to her which was fine with her at the moment. She contemplated what she should do, should she try to hold his hand, would he be willing to do something like that? Would he like that? She could feel her cheeks get warmer as she started to blush at the idea. No Tsuruga-san defiantly wouldn't want to hold hands with his student that's a stupid idea….but then again he's not Tsuruga-san right now he's Cain and Cain would want that right…it was worth a try. Her eyes moved from his face down his body to his hand. Damn it's in his pocket….how am I suppose to hold it now its not like I can tear it out of his pocket….he defiantly would be mad at me if I did that. She thought for a moment then decided to do the next best thing. Slowly she got a little closer to him as they walked and brought up her hand reaching out for his elbow which was bent out. Hesitating for a second and biting her lip. Well here goes nothing. As quickly as she could she put her hand in the nook his arm made and wrapped it around so they were locking arms.
Cain stopped instantly feeling her arm around his and looked down at her in shock which made her question herself. Maybe this was a bad idea. He didn't say anything while he looked down at her.
What is she doing? Why did she suddenly lock arm with me? Does she really want to walk like this? Does she really want to be that close to me? It seemed like every nerve in his arm was tingling where her arm was touching. She's so warm I can feel her through my coat like it isn't even there. He saw her smile a little and tilt her head "Does this bother you Cain? I mean we are boyfriend girlfriend now, this is how we are suppose to walk right?"
Her voice broke him away from his thoughts and he smiled well I guess she's right this would be more appropriate for us now, and it would be easier for me to keep those guys from looking at her if they knew she was mine so this should be alright. "Of course Setsu its fine, but only if you would like too, I don't want to pressure you into anything." He said sincerely.
"Of course I want to, your not pressuring me to do anything, remember I do what I want when I want" she said with a smile which made him groan internally and they began walking again. "So from now on we should walk like this it would be the most appropriate" she stated leaving no room to argue, but blushing at the thought that she was going to have to touch him like this from now on. Once they got to LME Cain opened the door for her and they walked through the lobby and into the elevator where she locked arms with him again. I could get used to this….no Ren don't think that, she's not doing this for you she's doing this because of the characters your playing…but still this is a nice little perk for the time being…not like we are going to be able to be like this forever…she see's me as her Senpai and she's much to young for me…this is defiantly only for the time being… it won't last forever. With that thought he frown and began to dread the day they had to stop playing Cain and Setsu. The doors opened and they walked down the hallway to the presidents office. It was 7:32 they were slightly late so Cain just opened the door and walked in Setsu still attached to his arm.
President Takarada turned from where he was standing to see who had just walked into his office. "w-welcome" He stuttered slightly at the sight of the two locking arms without realizing it. Wow they look so good together this is going to be great he thought and a huge smile graced his face.
"Good evening" The two said in unison and walked further into the room. As they reached the desk they both took a seat in separate chairs. "Good evening Director Kuchiki" Setsu said as she looked over at the man that was already sitting in one of the chairs.
"Good evening Setsu" he said with a smile. "Hope everything is going well"
"Yep everything's fine we just got done eating."
"That's good to hear"
President Takarada cleared his throat slightly which caught the attention of all in the room. "So shall we begin? We have a lot to go over, and very little time."
Why is he smiling so much? What is he planning now? Ren mentally sighed is this day ever going to end.
