Chapter 9

The soft, lullaby-like music filled the room. Gakupo and Kaito stood before their microphones, prepared to record.

Kaito began softly, "Sleeping soundly, I have a dream / of your profile."

Gakupo took his cue, "Without noticing the overflowing tears / running down my cheeks."

Then it was Kaito's turn again, and Gakupo joined on the last three words: "I've hidden the heartrending / throbs that are in this chest."

They sang the chorus together, "Last night, good night / Last night, good night. / This night, I'll hold / your hand tight and go to sleep / Good night."

Gakupo took the first lines in the next verse. "It'd be wonderful if I could / spend morning with you once more."

Kaito took the next: "I just wish even such a small / Hope can be a miracle."

Kaito joined Gakupo on the last two words of his lines, "As it is, I can't convey anything / So I can't say good-bye."

Together: "Last night, good night / Last night, good night. / Even if this voice dies, / the melody won't fade.

"Last night, good night / Last night, good night. / When I think that the end / will arrive someday / that's when I hope that the night sky / will keep your smile. / Good night."

They remained silent until the last of the music had faded, listening pleasantly. Then they replayed the recording to make sure was good, and of course it was.

"Good job today," Gakupo said lightly.

"Ah, thank you," he replied, his cheeks tinting slightly. "You too."

Gakupo smirked. But then he froze when Kaito leaned over him on the back of the chair. Kaito spotted his scarf and reached for it, his upper body lowering so that his face was closer to Gakupo's than ever. He couldn't resist.

Gakupo reached up and grabbed Kaito's face in his hands, then pulled him the last of the distance to his lips, kissing him deeply. Kaito went stiff and still, eyes wide. But then he pulled away, gasping for air and looking violated.

Gakupo looked surprised. But before he could say anything, Kaito had turned and stumbled out of the door, slamming it shut behind him. Gakupo exhaled slowly, feeling like a jerk. He'd just ruined any chance he had with Kaito. He was such an idiot! He leaned over and put his elbows on his knees, hanging his head. Gakupo wouldn't be surprised if Kaito never came back.

His eye caught Kaito's scarf beside him. That was what Kaito had been after in the first place, not a sudden kiss from Gakupo. It must have scared him. He must have hated the kiss. Gakupo guessed he probably would have hated it, too. With a heavy sigh, Gakupo picked up his things, and Kaito's scarf, and left. There was no point in staying any longer, now that his day was ruined.

Kaito had run to his car and locked himself inside, heart pounding wildly. Why had Gakupo kissed him like that? Did he like him? Was that even possible? Kaito thought he liked that waitress girl, Lily! The whole thing was so confusing.

Kaito felt miserable. Tears stung his eyes, and his nether regions were very uncomfortable in the confines of his pants. He looked down and saw that he was hard, not that he needed to look to tell. Gah! It wasn't fair! Kaito ran his hands through his hair, making it stick up. Then he realized he had left his scarf. He was such an idiot! He let his head fall forward against the steering wheel. Kaito wouldn't be surprised if Gakupo never came back.
