An intermission from the main story for two reasons, to show how they met and because the 3rd chapter might not be out until waaaay later since it's fighting with me on how it wants to be written.
This was supposed to be a side story but I decided to add it here as a bonus for everyone. Enjoy!
"Look, I don't really care what she says they'll pay. I'm not doing the movie." The two men that sat across from each other stared at one another, neither of them wanting to back down from their side of the argument. All around them people were chatting aimlessly and the dull drone of the band that was currently playing onstage melted into one. "Look," the purple haired man put a hand to his forehead and rubbed it, trying to release the throb that was just starting up. "I just feel like this isn't the title for me. As an actor I don't think-"
"At this point, Kamui," The other man interrupted with tired sigh. "I don't think you have the right to be so picky. Besides, people are looking out for this title. And, you'll be working with big names. You may be a B star now but you can easily move up to A in just a year."
The purple haired man, Gakupo Kamui, stayed quiet for a little while longer, not sure what else to say do sway his agent. The waiter came and went with another glass of tea before either of them spoke up again. "Filming is just a town over, a few hours away. You still need to audition but they loved your role of Duke Venomania so the audition is just to be formal." The man stood up and pulled out his wallet so he could pay the bill. "Just think about it over night and give me a call tomorrow."
Electric blue eyes watched as the man rushed off, cell phone being pulled out of his pocket so the ringer could be turned back up. When the man was out of sight Gakupo fell back against the leather booth he was sitting in, hiis hands going up to his face as a groan of aggravation slipped from him.
He knew his agent was right, that he shouldn't be so picky when it came to work but his role in the movie was just typecasting, the rich playboy with little to no morals, just like it had been since his first role.
The screeching of the microphone from the stage pulled him out of his jumbled thoughts and he glanced over to see exactly who was playing so he could use it as a distraction from his recent problems.
"Sorry." The blue haired male spoke into the microphone before ducking away shyly to continue getting ready. Gakupo raised an eyebrow and sat up straight so he could watch the male on stage better, a smile appearing and slowly growing wider as he watched the nervous fumbling. "Ah, I'm Kaito and I'll be singing a few songs for you tonight."
Blue painted nails plucked at the strings and twisted the tuning pegs on the acoustic guitar before continuing on in his introduction. "I'll be singing a few covers of some of my favorite songs for you so I hope you enjoy them." Dark blue eyes scanned the room to see if anyone was paying attention and near the middle his face looked upset at the lack of attention but Gakupo's own blue eyes followed each and every movement, strangely drawn to this man. To Kaito.
"There must be something in the water," Kaito started, fingers moving across the guitar and eyes closing. "To make you look the way you do." His eyes opened and settled right on Gakupo a sudden deep blush spreading across his cheeks as he sang the next part. "The way our bodies move together, you must be heaven sent. I'm hell bent on getting you."
The rest of his lineup felt like they were the only two in the room, with Kaito singing and their eyes meeting every time Kaito looked up from playing, almost as if he were singing only to him. Gakupo even moved a few tables forward to be closer to the shy singer and by the end of the last song he couldn't help but feel disappointed at how quick it all seemed.
Gakupo stood up and took a few steps towards Kaito, who was slowly putting his equipment away for the night. He didn't know what he was going to say when he got there only that he wanted to hear that voice more- a conversation that Kaito seemed to be anticipating as well.
"Excuse me, Mister Kamui." A shy voice spoke up to his right and he turned his head to see a young woman smiling at him, a piece of paper and pen in her hands. Not to be rude he gave a smile a faced her with a polite 'how can I help you?'. "Ah, can I have an autograph please?"
He glanced to the stage in hopes to silently ask Kaito to wait for him only to find it empty, Kaito apparently having run when his back was turned to him. A frown formed on his face for a few seconds but disappeared back into a smile when he turned back to the woman. "Of course, Miss."
If you want to hear the song then go to youtube and search 'The Heights - Something in the Water'. It should be the first song on the list with the thumbnail being a picture of two guys.
