Living in the world of fame and stardom could get rather bothersome sometimes, but never for Shuichi. However, after being torn away from his comfiest love ever nest with his newfound lover, Eiri Yuki, the little singer was starting to grow annoyed. He sighed as he snapped his suitcase shut. Seriously...when had Yuki become such a large part in his life?
"Hey. You ready?" A deep tone vibrated the hallways, the very same one that never failed to send shivers down his spine. "Yeah!" Shuichi exclaimed in glee. The good part about all of this was that they wouldn't be away for long. According to Tohma, the band was simply making a few stops in the cities surrounding Tokyo to promote their latest song. That and Yuki would be with him every step of the way.
All the host gave was a lopsided grin (that was pretty much reserved for Shuichi) and hastily ushered his young lover out of the house and into the park where the Bad Luck tour bus was waiting.
"How...gaudy." Yuki commented dryly as he eyed the colour scheme of the exterior of the bus. It was a mix of black, violet, lime green and pink; all appropriate shades for a pop band like Bad Luck. But for Yuki? Hmmm...not so much.
Shuichi bit his lip to stop himself from laughing out loud. "It was...Tohma's design." Eiri was, for once, shocked. Never did he think the one imperfection of his brother-in-law (aside from his sadistic personality) would be his awful sense of colour. That explains the fluffy fur coat...
"So this is the famous Yuki-san~ It is about time we met!" Hiro exclaimed as he alighted from the confines of the tour bus. Eiri stared as a red haired young man came forward and extended his arm. "I'm Hiro. Best friend of your lover."
"HIRO!" Shuichi exclaimed in embarrassment. Although what Hiro said was true, Shuichi himself was still having a bad time accepting the fact that he and Eiri were together.
"Ah. Hiro...the guy who, when drunk, dance on top of a table half-naked. Shuichi has told me lots about you. Way too much, if you ask me."
This time, it was Hiro who blushed. "Shuichi!"
"I'm sorry! You know how much I blabber!"
"And he never stops..."
"YUKI!"
"Alright alright. All on the bus!" Suguru announced from the bus' entrance, only pausing for a moment to nod his head at Eiri, acknowledging his presence.
And within moments, the pack of hotties was all ready to set off for the next city. The young blond host who soon found himself restless in the tour bus instantly spotted an avenue that would help relief his boredom.
"Hey. Does that laptop work?"
"Hmm?" Hiro looked up from twisting the knobs on his guitar. The rest of the band remained oblivious as they strapped on headphones, making sure that their equipment, music were all in perfect order.
"Oh. We play games on that when we have the time. But there's no internet on the road, so it's pretty useless now."
Eiri stared at the device for a few more seconds before asking. "May I borrow it?"
"Eh? Oh, sure." Hiro replied, bewildered by the host's behaviour. What could he want with a laptop with no internet?
To answer that question, Eiri Yuki switched the laptop on, opened a word file and simply began typing. It wasn't long before he entrapped himself into his own world of fantasies.
Before they knew it, they had reached their destination.
Shuichi stretched as he recovered from a short nap he took on the bus. Hiro and Suguru had alighted from the bus already to prepare for the impromptu concert. Since Shuichi didn't have to tinker with any instruments, the vocalist had the luxury of having the bus all to himself and... one hot host.
He giggled.
Searching the confines of the bus for his erm... 'man', the pink-haired boy soon found his target typing away on the computer. He furrowed his brows. How long had that man been at it anyway?
"Yuki?" Shuichi called out, blinked when the man in question seemed to jump in his seat with a jolt.
"Oh. You're awake? You might want to skedaddle. There's only an hour left." Yuki commented, finally turning his attention away from the computer.
"Ah...alright." Shuichi mumbled, rolling off the bed with a thud. "Erm..Yuki? What were you doing anyway?" The singer gestured to the laptop which was still opened to a word file.
"Writing. It's been a long while since school." Eiri remarked nonchalantly. Despite his job as a host, Eiri wouldn't deny that he didn't have a penchant for writing- that and a certain cute singer of course.
"You like writing? That's just like my auntie, Mizuki! Well...not really. She's more of an editor rather than a writer. She works for that famous publishing company. Would you like to meet her?"
"Mm. Maybe." Eiri muttered incoherently as he saved the file (using Shuichi's thumbdrive) and switched the laptop off. "Don't you have glitter to put on? PVC to wear?" Eiri asked, smirking while he did so. Oh he could already imagine how sexy his little nightingale would look like.
Said chick flushed beet red and yelled "PERVERT!" before scuttling off, leaving a chuckling Eiri in his wake. The sad part for Shuichi was that the host wasn't totally off the mark.
"..This...I have to wear THIS?" Shuichi squeaked in the highest pitch possible. His outfits on stage weren't usually that skimpy, shiny or heck provocative. But this one definitely topped the charts!
Hung on a steel hanger that Shuichi was flabbergasted at was a sleek PVC ivory outfit that had dusted pink shades at the edges (which was, of course, to match his equally pink hair). One of the pant legs reached down to his knees but was 'fashionably' cropped in several areas. The other pant leg was complete without holes. However, it was just mere inches below his butt. The top was a long white jacket draped across his shoulders. It was pretty cool...if it weren't for the fact it barely covered his front. (He struggled to hide his nipples...but only because he knew Yuki would be watching..Maybe) Never had Shuichi ever been happier that he wasn't a girl. Together with that ensemble were white boots, belt and a silver choker.
"Tohma's brain has flown the coop." Shuichi stated to himself. He was reluctant to appear on stage. But what choice did he have? The little vocalist knew that this would either make or break his band tour and he hoped that this hare-brained scheme of Tohma's would work. They usually do...most of the time.
However, Shuichi couldn't help but feel there was some other reason to this shocking outfit he was presented with. But before he could place his finger on it, the time for him to have his voice check with the band was almost up.
"Oh well. Maybe Yuki will help me kill Tohma later...just because I can't."

And Yuki almost did-really...if it weren't for the fact that he had no idea where his dearest brother-in-law was at that moment.
"TOHMA! Is this your idea of a joke?" Yuki practically screamed into his pitiful phone which was on the verge of cracking under the host's harsh grip. A bell-like (urgh) laugh resonated from it, followed by a taunting voice. "Oh don't worry Eiri-san. He's doing it for the fans. Did you know that sales of the tickets today shot up the moment the publicity department announced this juicy bit of news?"
"Screw publicity. That's MY Shuichi parading HALF-NAKED on STAGE."
"Oh he's done worse." (He was kidding . )
"WHAT?"
"Just enjoy the show, my dearest little brother." And with that, Tohma ended the call, leaving Yuki to shudder at the affectionate tone Tohma bestowed on him.
And thus, our favourite host was left seething in jealousy when the crowd whooped continuously at the almost-oblivious Shuichi. Although...he had to admit Shuichi was dripping sex-angel pheromones in his white outfit. Coupled with the fact that his voice and passion were at its peak, Shuichi was nothing but the centre of attention for the entire concert hall, including a lustful Eiri. The host was only glad that he was this close to getting the boy in bed...and not someone else.
