I'm back with chapter two!
This chapter introduces Vivian Wong, Bakura Kura, and Marik Ishtar, all of whom have worked with Atemu before.
All of Atemu's previous work comes with a description; I forgot to mention that 'Fire Mind' is a graphic novel in this story's universe. It's about some guy who got into and accident and ended up with the ability to create fires with his mind, he tries to be a hero but thinks he makes things worse.
I suck at movie ideas.
And the reason for early classes is because, as I stated before, Yami works in the afternoon and has to get his classes done early. Plus, let's face it, I'm a junior in high school, I've never been to college before! XD Oh… I made my self sad…
On with the fic!
Stars Made Of Fake
Chapter Two
Yami sighed softly as he lounged in the bed with Kaiba's strong arms around him and his arm body pressed to his bare back. "Mmm… that was delightful baby, next time I'm in the middle of a rant, you should pull that lovely stunt out, and that fantastic rod of yours out too." He smirked lightly and Kaiba rolled his eyes.
"Yeah sure, now we need to get ready Yami, we need to be on the set early because Pegasus wants a run down with all the actors." Kaiba spoke, removing his arms from the now-pouting actor.
With a slight groan of boredom, Yami sat up and walked over to the bathroom which his black filled with his Atemu makeup. He tied his hair up perfectly, every time as usual, and got the wig situated, styling it slightly so it looked good. Next he put in his special contacts.
Blinking, Yami's vision came back to normal and he looked at himself. "Lookin' good Atemu, now for the makeup!" He finished in a bit of a sing-song voice as he worked on putting kohl on his eyes and a tiny bit of grey eye shadow. He smirked lightly, but noticed something on his neck.
A love bite.
'Oh dear… Seto must have gone a little crazy last night… oh well, that's what makeup is for!'
He placed some skin tone powder on and looked at it, not being able to see the small bruise. For extra precaution, Yami adjusted the collar of this button up shirt to hide it and he smiled.
Wearing leather pants, a red button up shirt, a cartouche that said Atemu on it, and steel-toed boots along with a few wrist chains, Yami Mouto was now his alter ego Atemu Amun. He left the bathroom to find Kaiba adding the final touches to his alter ego's outfit before walking over and wrapping his arms around the slender waist of his agent.
"Hey… baby… did you miss me Scott?" Atemu winked and Scott chuckled.
"Don't be a nark Atemu. Hmm, loving the leather pants right now sweetie." Scott smirked, using his silly pet name for his lover since Atemu claimed total dibs on baby.
"You always love my leather pants because they show off my cute butt. Let's go, I want to stop by Dunkin' Donuts for an ice-mocha." Atemu replied and let go of Scott as he grabbed his messenger bag he always brought with him and headed for the door, Scott following behind.
"You have GOT to be fucking kidding me; they didn't tell me that freak would be here!"
"Oh go blow it out your ass Bakura, you're more of a freak then he is anyway!"
"You know hunky, Scott does have a point."
"Don't you agree with them Marik, and stop calling me that!"
Bakura Kura, an albino actor, glared deeply at his lover Marik Ishtar, a metallic blond Egyptian actor, who was only pouting. Atemu and Scott had arrived at the set and already a fight was starting.
Atemu had worked with Bakura once before on his second movie 'Crazy' in which Atemu played a psychiatrist who tired to help a guy who thought that everyone around him were aliens after he received a blow to the head. The crazy person was Bakura and Atemu HATED working with him because they got into fights ever since day one.
Marik was a friend of Atemu's after he guest stared on a sitcom called 'Living Outside', which was a gay show on CBS. Scott just hated Bakura in general and Marik once hit on him, Atemu was not happy with that but he kept his cool since he didn't want to make a scene.
"Look Bakura, we need to get this movie done with without killing one another so let's just get ready for rehearsal-AAHH!" As Atemu was talking, something grabbed him from behind and he screamed. Turning, he looking into large brown-eyes that sparkled and his face went dead pale.
"Vivian…" He gasped and the girl smiled.
"Oh Atemu! You remember me! It's been two years since we last saw one another! I'm sorry I had to go back to China; I should have left you my number and e-mail! You must have been so worried!'
'I was jumping for joy when you left…' "Look Vivian, it's great to see you again, but you are squeezing my organs…" Atemu spoke through clenched teeth and she let go, Bakura snickering in the back ground.
Vivian turned when she felt burning eyes on her and saw the cold glare of one Scott Kyle looking down at her. "Oh, hello Scott, how have you been?" She glared back.
"I was fine until your ugly mug walked into those building…" Scott HATED Vivian from the get go. She was so clingy and acted weird, at first Scott ignored her, but when she started to hit on Atemu he crossed the line and started yelling at her to not get involved with his agent, she fought back and said that she could be with who ever she wanted.
"Now guys, let's not turn this place into a fighting ring, that's in studio B."
Everyone turned to see the smiling face of Pegasus. "Oh goody! Everyone made it! Now I should state that this will be a bit of a long shot since I remember the fight you and Bakura had on set before Atemu, but let's all be polite and get through this movie!"
Atemu sighed and shook his head; this was going to be a long day…
"Good rehearsal everyone! I'll call you for the next one! Have a good day!" Pegasus smiled as everyone walked off the set.
Atemu yawned and stretched as he walked out the door. "Hmm… hey Scott, maybe we should get something to eat. I'm starving and a granola bar is not a meal." Scott chuckled and led Atemu down the streets when they walked out of the front gates of Industrial Studios.
Since this was the city of the stars, you could walk around in public, just don't do anything stupid.
The pair walked into an ice cream parlor and Atemu came out with a Chip and Mint cone while Scott had a normal vanilla one. As they walked and talked, Atemu tripped slightly, getting his snack on himself. "Aw crap, this is a new shirt…"
"Hang on, I got it." Scott took out a napkin and the blond began to clean off the ice cream, but by accident he cleaned off the makeup over the hicky, but both of them didn't seem to notice.
But someone did.
"GUYS! YOU'VE GOT TO CHECK THIS OUT!"
Yami and Kaiba blinked as the looked at Joey, in mass panic mode. It was Sunday morning, Atemu's and Scott's day off, and they were enjoying a coffee on the campus. But it was interrupted by Joey and his friends rushing over.
"Jeez Joey, what's up, did they stop Super Weenie Sundays at Weenie Hut Jr.?" Yami asked, but the blond shoved a news paper into his face and Kaiba removed it from his hands to read it.
"Is Atemu Amun Breaking His Own Vow?" Kaiba read the title, catching Yami's attention and he took the paper to continue reading it.
"Super star actor Atemu Amun, 21, was seen yesterday with what looks like a love bite on his neck?! In an interview two years ago after the making of 'Dark Night Fright' the actor was said to have been dating Vivian Wong, but he denied the rumors by saying that he was too young to be looking for love because it would effect his acting. And he had kept true to that promise until now when he was spotted with a bite on his neck. Who is the lucky girl to have the hottest actor in Tinsel Town?!"
He looked at the picture and gasped. It was taken right after Scott got the ice cream off him! The makeup must have come off then and not when he went into the shower, luckily he was wearing his normal collar right now so that hid the mark. "This is bullshit man!"
"I know! And look, they didn't mention the fact that Atemu is a vegetarian! But he is eating ice cream right there!" Joey exclaimed, pointing at the picture.
"Actually Joey, he doesn't eat red meat, fish, or pork. But he will drink milk." Yugi corrected him.
"How could Atemu be dating anyone!?" Tea cried out, mostly because she wanted to be his first date.
Tristan took the paper and looked the picture before looking at Yami. "Hey Yami, did you know you look an awful lot like this guy?"
Yami's blood ran cold at that moment, but Kaiba stepped in. "Are you sure?" He took the paper. "Yami doesn't look like him, I mean sure, they have the same skin color and somewhat same facial structure but that's about it."
"You know, it could be one of those crazy doppelganger things." Yugi piped in and everyone nodded. Inside, Yami was thanking his little brother dearly. But this wasn't good; this meant that the media would be all over him.
"I wonder if he got this from someone or he got hurt again." Yugi continued as he looked at the picture, he did have to agree with Tristan, this guy did look like his brother.
"He might have tripped again, or got into a fight with that Bakura guy." Joey spoke, remembering how Atemu and Bakura had a fist fight once; Atemu got hit in the cheek and Bakura? He had a broken wrist from when Atemu jumped on him.
"I bet it was Bakura, Atemu's fan base said that he's on a new project and Bakura's in it." Kaiba spoke up taking a sip from his coffee, he should know because he works on Atemu's fan base.
"Really?! How did you know that!? I didn't check this morning." Tea gasped lightly.
Kaiba only smirked. "This idiot informed me this morning." He pointed to Yami who glared and pouted at him.
"HEY!"
"Please Yami; you're always blabbing about how great he is." 'Not that I mind because I know how great you are, especially how great you are in bed.'
"Well, I don't hear you complaining, in fact I think you like his ass." 'I know you like my ass Seto, you always find and excuse to touch it.'
As you can tell, these two have sex on their minds ninety percent of the time; the other five percent is for school and the other for work. Someone snapping their fingers brought Yami and Kaiba out of their thoughts. "Huh? Wha….?" Yami blinked and looked at Yugi.
"Were you listening Nii-sama?"
"Apparently not."
"Well, we wanted to know if you and Kaiba wanted to join us for a day trip around the studios since we have nothing better to do today." Joey spoke up. "So, want to come?"
"Can't," Kaiba replied, "I have work to do for Kaiba Corp, and Yami's got a project in the works." He helped his petite lover up and they walked past the others.
"Ya know, Kaiba always seems so close ta Yami." Said Joey as he scratched his head.
"Yeah, a little too close if you ask me." Tea spoke, glaring at the other brunet.
Atemu was panting and looked exhausted as he sat on a chair. No, work wasn't making him act like this, it was a girl and a guy who had done nothing but harasses him since he first arrived at the studio at one. Vivian kept going on and on about how they should hook up while Bakura kept asking for a rematch to their fight and they have been chasing him around the whole studio for the last five hours!
He finally got some time to himself when he was taken to Pegasus' office.
"My dear boy, why do you look like all Hell broke loose?" Pegasus blinked, looking at his star actor.
"I was being chased down by the talkative hounds of Hell… you wanted to see me sir?"
"Yes… about this." His expression changed and he placed a newspaper on the desk. Reaching over, Atemu took it and looked it over. It was the article from yesterday's paper.
Oh shit on a shingle.
"Mind telling me what this is all about?"
Christ on a crutch.
"Look sir, I got into a bit of a scrap with Scott over something stupid. We were going over reviews and projects, he got pissed at some of my suggestions and we started a little fight in which he elbowed me in the chest by accident, luckily nothing got damaged." Atemu pointed to the wound that was starting to fade since he was a fast healer. He and Scott came up with the excuse last night in bed.
Pegasus looked at him and sighed in relief. "Oh thank God! I was so worried because a girlfriend would distract you from your work and I don't want to be the director that ended up with you doing a horrible acting job!"
Inside, Atemu was rolling his eyes and thinking that this man was not only missing his left eye but the left side of his brain too. "Of course sir, but I need to get going, same time tomorrow?" He spoke as he stood up.
"Of course Atemu, but remember that big party for the studio is this Friday, try and look your best!"
"That's easy, I always look my best." Atemu smiled and left. The smile was gone and his face had that of a bored expression as he walked out onto the lot, but a voice stopped him.
"Did it work Atemu?"
He blinked his dark violet-eyes and turned to see Scott standing nearby with Atemu's stuff and a cigarette in his mouth. "Of course it did, I'm a professional actor, lying just comes naturally. Jesus Christ Bananas… take that thing out of your mouth; it makes your clothes smell like a bar!"
Atemu walked over and removed it from Scott's lips. He took a quick inhale of it before dropping it to the floor and stepped on it. He let out the smoke in his mouth in Scott's face. "Smoking is very bad for you baby."
"Then why did you just smoke sweetie?"
"Because I'm extremely stressed right now, I haven't ran this much since I was in middle school."
"Oh, you mean that time you dumped rotten corn beef on the cheerleaders out of revenge and got chased across the city? I think you are still in the hall of prank fame at Domino Middle School."
Atemu only laughed at this, when he was in middle school he was a total nerd. He had braces, was always reading, and only hung out with Kaiba and his brother. The cheerleaders would rag on him all the time so he got back at them. But this was when he lived in Japan before he, Yugi, and Kaiba moved to the states to attend high school, where Yami became popular because he lost the braces and took martial arts to make himself look less… weak, though he was still scrawny.
"They smelt awful for weeks! I had that stuff behind the school's dumpster for two months just for that!" He grinned, feeling a bit better. Scott, Kaiba, could always find ways to make him feel better about himself when he was down or stressed.
"Come on Mr. Vegetarian, let's go and get some McDonald's, I bet you want the Chicken Selects right?"
"You're damn right I want those! Let's high tail it out of here!"
TBC
Gods above, I want something to eat right now…
Umm, the news article will still hang around in this story, because people are still suspecting that something is up in Atemu's personal life.
I love switching off their original names with their alter ego names! You still know who they are, but it adds for effect. :D Anyway, thank you all for the reviews by the way, didn't think people would actually like this.
Next chapter: Atemu and Scott go to a huge Hollywood party where Atemu ends up getting into a fight with Bakura. Much bashing will ensue next chapter, and Yugi is suspecting something of his brother.
Please review.
