"Whoa" Reita said looking around the stadium.
"It's huge isn't it?" The drummer pointed out."We need to be back tomorrow morning at ten to finish setting up and do some rehearsal."
"Yeah, try not to wake us again Reita" Uruha said, poking his friend's side. The blonde was happy to have his nose band on because he became beet red.
"Okay I guess we should go to the hotel and rest up. Besides Reita, you need to take your pain medicine." The singer said walking towards the door.
"Yeah and I need a smoke" Aoi pointed at the no smoking sign.
"Me too" The honey blonde shouted, pulling out his cigarettes
"Hey don't light them in here!" Kai yanked the lighter away before he could light the stick.
"Come on, let's go" Reita said leading them out. He looked up at the darkened sky. "Looks like it's going to rain"
"No way, looks more like it's gonna storm. We should check the weather when we get back."
"Let's hurry or we won't need to look up the weather." The raven shouted, starting the car as the others got in.
When they returned to the hotel, Uruha turned on the weather channel. Reita and Aoi sat down and started playing cards that were on the table. Ruki went to the window and started staring out at the sky.
"Um...so who decided to all pile up in my room?" Kai asked, closing the door.
"Your room was closest to the elevator" the raven pointed out
"Your room has a better view than mine" The singer said still staring out the window.
"I like your TV better." Uruha said as he flipped through the channels. There was a long pause after that..
"So Reita, what's your excuse?" The drummer giggled.
"Well you see, I was at the hospital and somebody scared me so I punched him. Then as payback he head butted me, causing me to be temporarily confused."
They all looked at Ruki, who was still staring out the window. They started giggling because they saw the singer's ears turning red. The four of them tried to not to laugh, but they could no longer contain it. They just bursted into giggles, but Reita yelped gripping his head and wincing in pain.
"Oh crap we forgot your medicine" The singer said walking to him."Aoi give me the keys. I'll be back in a little bit."
"Be careful it's about to start storming" The guitarist said pointing at the tv. Ruki shook his head and closed the door.
"Lay down. Uruha get a wet rag" Kai said forcing the blonde on his back.
"I'm fine. You guys don't need to freak out like this." The bassist said trying to sit back up.
"Doc told us to do this if you got a headache all of a sudden. So lay down," Kai grunted pushing Reita back down. "Doctor's orders."
The blonde awoke to the sound of thunder and the flash of lightning outside the window. It took him a minute to remember that he was in the drummer's hotel room.
He grunted sitting up. "Kai? You in here?" When no one responded, he realized he was alone, so he got up and headed to the door.
"...ill asleep so try to be quiet." That was the brunette.
'I wonder who he's talking to.' Thought Reita as he reached for the door handle. He opened it just as Kai was about to and behind him stood Ruki with a bag, both staring at him.
"Ah, you're up, is your headache gone?" The drummer asked as he stepped in and he turned on the light. The bassist opened his mouth, but before he could say anything Ruki hit his arm with the bag , giving it to him.
"Sorry it took so long, they were having problems at the pharmacy."
"Drink it down with this" Kai grabbed a water out of the fridge and threw it to his friend.
"Thanks" The blonde said catching the bottle."What time is it?"
"Almost seven," Aoi said walking in as the other took his medicine.
"Seven? It's so dark out."
"It's been storming. The news said it was going to get bad tonight."
"Where's Uruha?" Reita asked looking around.
"At the bar. I'm going to get him before he gets drunk, again." Kai said.
"He said he wouldn't get drunk this time." Aoi sighed.
"Yeah right." Ruki mumbled.
"I'll be right back" The drummer said leaving the room.
"How long was I out," Reita asked scratching his head "I mean I don't even remember falling asleep."
"You passed out a little after we laid you down. The doctor said that it might happen." The raven said proudly.
It was dead quiet in the room except for the rain hitting the window. Reita and Aoi were playing another game of cards while Ruki watched a show. The bassist was about to pull a card from the deck when there was knocking at the door. The guitarist got up and opened it to surprisingly see a sober Uruha. "I knew you could it!"
"What?" the honey blonde asked and tilted his head in confusion.
"I said you wouldn't get drunk if you went with the promise that you wouldn't drink a lot." The raven said as he hopped up and down, clapping his hands.
"I'm honestly surprised with you Uruha" Ruki said smiling.
"Hey I don't get drunk every time I go to a bar!"
The singer started giving him a death glare and so the staring contest begun. But it quickly ended when everyone heard loud growling sound. They all looked at each other until their eyes landed on the red faced blonde.
"Uh...I think I'm hungry." Reita said sticking out his tongue.
"Well, anyone up for pizza?"Aoi asked, grabbing the phone book. They shook their heads in agreement so the guitarist called 'Heaven's pizza' place. Ordering four pizzas "We have to go pick it up in like thirty minutes. It's a little ways down so I'm going to go ahead and drive down there, who wants to come?"
"I'll go" Ruki said walking to the door.
"We'll be here wai—"
"No you two will be here, I'll be in the bar." Uruha interrupted their drummer.
"But you can't. What if Reita passes out again?" Kai whined.
"I'm not going to pass out!" The blonde huffed as he sat down.
"Pwease don't go." The leader begged giving it all with his puppy eyes.
"Fine, but I better get some beer out of this."
"We'll be back shortly" The singer laughed as they walked out.
Kai and Uruha joined Reita on the couch. They sat there listening to the rain hitting the window. The drummer finally noticed the remote so he grabbed it and started flipping through the channels, but then the blonde stood up.
"Ok. I'm going to take a shower."
"You sure that's a good idea?" Uruha asked.
"I'm ok to take a shower by myself. I'm not going pass out every time I do something." Reita said as he walked out the door.
"Wait, at least take it in here."
"I'm not a baby guys. If I start feeling dizzy I'll call you, ok." The blonde said while closing the door, not giving them the chance to respond. He sighed as he walked down the hall, but his body froze. There was a vase full of red roses with a letter in front of his door.
'Not again' He thought. He quickly picked it up and went into his room. He started shaking as he opened the letter.
My Dear Beautiful Akira,
Why! Why won't you accept my love? I'm always giving you roses to show my love to you. You have no right tossing my feelings around. I give you gift's and you make me happy when you accept them, but then you turn around and throw them away. That's ok you'll be mine soon enough whether you Love Me or Not!
- Your Lover
p.s. I hope your head is ok. You need to be more careful when taking a shower.
"What the hell? How does this person know?" His voice shook as tears started filling his eyes. He took a deep breath and wiped his eyes. He grabbed the flowers, threw them and the letter in the trash. "Calm down Reita. It's probably a prank, yeah a prank." He told himself as he got into the bathroom. He slipped out of his clothes with shaky arms, then stepped into the shower and turned the hot water on full blast. "This feels nice"
"Hey we're back" Aoi called as they came through the door.
"Where's Reita?" Ruki asked.
"In the shower" Uruha said grabbing himself a slice of pizza.
"By himself?"
"You wanted one of us to shower with him?" The honey blonde asked with a smile.
"He'll be fine. He told us himself that he's not baby and he'll call us if he needs help." Kai said.
"Still, it wouldn't hurt to check on him." The singer said leaving the room. He walked into the other's hotel room. He couldn't hear the shower going so he knew the other was done, but he knocked on the door anyways."Hey Reita, you ok in there?"
"I'm fine. I'm about to come out." The blonde said. Ruki turned around to leave, but the roses in the trash caught his attention. He walked over to investigate. He saw a piece of paper with something written on it and he was about to pick it up when the bathroom door opened up.
"What are you doing?"
He turned around to find Reita with only a towel on that made him look skinnier than usual. "Why do you have a vase of roses in the trash? When did you get them?" The brunette asked picking up a rose and sniffed it. "They smell nice."
"Gross. That was in the trash and you put it on your face."
"Only other things in here are a vase and letter." Ruki said reaching for it "What's it say anyways?"
The bassist grabbed it from him and crumbled it up. "It's just some mushy fanmail." He said throwing it back in the trash and when he turned to see his blinds open, goose bumps covered his body. Ruki dropped the rose in the trashcan as Reita walked over there and closed the blinds.
"Well the pizza's here so hurry up so you can eat." The brunette said leaving the room, but he waited outside for his friend to get dressed, then they walked to their drummer's room. Kai opened the door for them. They got him some pizza then they all started talking about the concert, then some jokes, and watched tv, except Aoi who was messing with his computer. After a few shows they went to their separate rooms and went to sleep.
"Akira. Akira. Akira .I hope your head is ok. You should be more careful." Said the mysterious voice.
"Le-leave me alone!" Reita screamed fearfully
"Oh silly, silly Akira, you know I'll never leave you alone. You Shouldn't Have Tossed My Feelings Around. You Will Be Mine!
"No!" The blonde screamed, falling out of his bed. He looked up at the door. After a minute he was thankful he didn't wake his band mates this time. "Why do I keep having this nightmare" He asked himself as he crawled back in bed. He rubbed his face and turned over to try to get some more sleep.
"Hey Reita are you ok? You look like shit." Aoi said as they got into the car the next morning.
"Thanks. I just didn't sleep well last night. It's nothing big."
"Yes it is big. We're going to be busy today." Kai huffed as he climbed into the passenger seat.
"I'm fine so let's go"
"Whatever you say." Ruki mumbled to himself. They all go buckled in as their driver started the car and started driving. The concert hall wasn't too far away, but it still took about half an hour to get there because of traffic. When they did arrive there, mostly everything was done.
Then their manager walked up to them "We have it taken care of guys. Reita how's your head?"
"It's fine. Thanks Sakai."
"Are you able to perform tomorrow night?"
"I said I was fine, I can play." The blonde was getting aggravated.
"Well I want the five of you to go to the hotel and get as much rest as possible"
"But we always help." Kai said
"I know, but you should really rest, especially you Reita. " The manager said.
"I said I was fine, so let us help out like we said we would."
"I said no. Now get back to your hotel!" Sakai yelled walking away.
"Hey—" Reita started, but the singer gripped his shoulder.
"Stop it before you hurt yourself." Ruki said sternly "We can help another time, so let's go back."
"Besides you can sleep some more when we get there" The raven added.
"Fine." He growled. They walked back to the car and headed back.
"How about we go for drinks later" Kai said, shocking them all.
"That sounds good" Uruha said smiling.
When they got back, Reita took some medicine and took a nap while Aoi and Uruha prepared their guitars as Ruki and Kai hung around watching tv. As it got later, they figured it was getting to be a good time to go have some drinks. They all started to get read while Ruki went to wake their bassist up.
"Hey Rei. Wake up." The singer said shaking him.
"Mmm. What?"
"You still wanna go get drinks?"
"Yeah." The blonde whispered as he sat up.
"Ok, put on your shoes and meet us outside." Ruki said leaving the room
Reita did as told and headed out where the others were at, then they all headed down to the bar. They knew they shouldn't drink a lot so they just talked for an hour before ordering their second round and then they had few more rounds before Reita yawned.
"Hey I'm gonna go and take my shower and hit the sack." He said getting up
"You sure?" Uruha asked.
"Yeah, see you guys in the morning."
"Night." They all said in semi-unison. Reita went up the elevator and made it to his room but saw another letter waiting for him.
"Come on. Not again." He said as he picked up the letter.
Dear my Beautiful Akira,
Don't you know you can catch a cold getting out of the shower with only a towel on. I saw him smell one of the roses I gave you. Those weren't for him! And I saw how he looked at you when you were in that towel. I won't let anyone else have you!
Reita crumbled it up and threw it across the room yelling "Leave me alone!"
He went into the bathroom and rubbed his face as he looked into the mirror. He was so sick of this. It was getting worse, it was affecting his health too and he knew it was only a matter of time before his friends start asking questions.
"One more round" Uruha calling the bartender.
"Man I don't know why Sakai was so harsh today. We just wanted to help out." Kai remembered.
"Yeah he didn't have to snap out like that. He needs to get that tampon out of his ass" Ruki said taking a drink. "I think I'm gonna go to bed."
"Are you sure man? It's still pretty early." The honey blonde sung.
"Yeah. You guys shouldn't stay here too much longer either. We have to get up early tomorrow." Ruki sighed. He finished up his bottle and dug out his wallet to leave some money for the bill. As he stood his body shook and he had the strangest feeling. He shook his head waved to his friends.
