Celebrity Issues - Chapter Eight
"And that's a wrap for today! Thank you very much for your cooperation, Hakkai." Kougaiji praised as the brunette walked past him, a clearly exhausted expression plastered on his face. The scene he had to film today was nothing short of stressful.
The other actor in the scene had been over an hour late.
The makeup artist had been stuck in traffic; therefore, she was also late.
All Hakkai wanted to do was sleep.
Gojyo stood, heading over to his new boyfriend-until Yaone intercepted his path and immediately began to bombard the tired man with questions.
"-I can book you for one TV spot next week-would you rather appear on "Good Day LA" or "Live With-"
"I don't mind."
"-and you can have a special appearance on the nights local entertainment news-,"
"That sounds fine."
"-because you need to clear up some of this mess, I've also got a few interviews set up for various magazines."
"That's perfectly-,"
"So where do you want to start?"
Hakkai sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He was absolutely exhausted, and all he wanted was to leave the studio so he could go home and get a few hours rest before he had to be up the next morning to do it all over again. "Yaone, I really don't mind." He said as evenly as possible. "I'm just exhausted, and all I want to do is go home and sleep."
Yaone blinked, about to say something more until Gojyo walked up, looping an arm around Hakkai's waist. "How 'bout you come home with me? You really look like you could use a massage."
Truth be told, Gojyo wouldn't mind going home and getting some much needed sleep, but he would much rather spend the rest of the evening testing various relaxation methods on Hakkai. Hell, he would consider it a treat to be able to massage Hakkai until he lulled himself to sleep.
"That would be great." Hakkai said immediately, relieved that Gojyo had chosen to intervene at that moment. He didn't feel like answering any more of Yaone's questions; the last thing on his mind at that moment was scheduling any sort of work related experience. Going home with Gojyo sounded like the best thing in the world at that point, to be honest. "I'll see you tomorrow, Yaone." He said, smiling at her so that she didn't get upset. "Have a good night."
He looked at Gojyo then, the same smile on his face. "Shall we?"
"We shall." Gojyo replied, not missing the look Yaone gave him as they stalked off.
Dinner had been pleasant.
The sex following dinner had been perfect.
The bath had been wonderful.
The sex during the bath had been fantastic.
So far, this night was nothing but satisfying on both ends.
Now, Gojyo was lounging comfortably on the couch, flipping through the television channels, stopping on some random entertainment program. His eyes were half lidded from exhaustion, Hakkai lying on top of him, head nestled in the juncture of his neck and shoulder.
Hakkai was certainly happy with his decision to come home with Gojyo-while he was tired, his evening with Gojyo had been worth it.
Gojyo's arms slowly came up and looped around Hakkai's body, holding him to his chest. He gently kissed the top of Hakkai's head, looking down at him and admiring the beauty that was his new lover. He believed himself to be incredibly lucky. At first, he never considered himself to be the type of guy that would ever settle down.
"Gojyo and Hakkai-together at last! Reps close to the duo confirm that the two are now officially an item."
The redhead smirked, still able to hear the words coming from the entertainment news hosts' mouth through the speakers despite the low volume. "You do realize this is all anyones gonna want to talk about."
"Hmm?" Hakkai opened one eye and smiled as photographs of the pair of them flashed across the television screen. The reporter, who was far too made up and falsely enthusiastic, narrated the story loudly, pulling "reputable" facts and sources from nowhere.
"Oh, of course." He said once he realized what Gojyo was talking about. "I can imagine how life changing this is for the entertainment industry, since we're the first co-stars to ever get involved with one another."
Gojyo laughed lightly in Hakkai's ear, nose nudging aside some of the mans bangs so he could lay a kiss to his forehead. "Oh, what the world is comin' to." He glanced to the television, seeing a new story in the headlines. He knew Hakkai wasn't used to being in the spotlight as far as relationships go. What he didn't know was how Hakkai was going to handle all of the attention.
"It's quite appalling." Hakkai replied sarcastically, laughing against Gojyo's neck. He supposed it was a good thing on his part that he could joke so easily about it-his usual mentions in the news concerned his films, not his personal life. Maybe it was the honeymoon stage of their relationship in a matter of speaking, but he wasn't as worried about the attention as Yaone seemed to be.
"Yup," Gojyo grabbed the remote that sat on the coffeetable and powered off the television, filling the room with darkness. He made a move to get up, intent on taking Hakkai with him, but eventually settled back down into the cushions. "...Do we wanna go to the bedroom?"
