Oh my god, guys, I'm so sorry about how long it took for me to make this update! It's just that I started this chapter on my sister's laptop, and she's been keeping it from me. Not to mention I've been sick. D: But, to make up for it, I made this an extra long chapter! So please forgive me. ;w;
Ah, and the rating went up to M because the kissing scene in this nearly goes farther then it should've and I more then likely will end up putting things that go farther then that into later chapters. ^^
Also, thank you all for all of the reviews. Reviews really pump me to keep writing this story and they really make me feel like you all are actually enjoying the fanfic, so thank you all for the reviews. ^^
Anyway~. I don't own Uta No Prince-Sama.
How long were they stuck in that elevator? Ranmaru had honestly lost track of time, but it must've been for longer then he had expected because eventually, Reiji had fallen asleep in his arms, his pale lips slowly parting and slow, even breaths passing through them.
His fingers never stopped running through the brunette's hair, and the silver-head was quick to realize that he was actually a bit afraid that if he stopped the comforting gesture, the smaller male in his arms would wake up and become frightened again, something he didn't want to happen.
A small clicking noise soon filled Ranmaru's ears, causing him to slowly open his eyes and look up.
The elevator was moving again.
Glancing down at Reiji and seeing how incredibly calm and peaceful he looked in his sleep, Ranmaru let out a long sigh and just decided to let him rest.
After a bit of shifting around, he managed to scoop the brunette up into his arms, one of his arms locked under his knees and the other around his back so he could carry him bridal style.
Leaning against the wall of the elevator, Ranmaru waited until the metal doors opened on the thirteeth floor to walk out, holding Reiji up a little higher in his arms so that he didn't drop him.
He's lost a lot of weight. Ranmaru thought, looking around as he passed a bunch of doors.
Now that he thought about it, Reiji had never told him which room number he lived in, so the silver head was just going to have to go with the-hopefully-helpful information Reiji had told him before.
"What floor do you live on?"
"The thirteenth."
"Why the thirteeth?"
Reiji shrugged. "The number is just easy to remember."
"Found it." Ranmaru stopped in front of a door marked 13 and looked down at the sleeping figure in his arms, wondering where the hell Reiji kept his room key. "Dammit Reiji..." He mumbled, kneeling down and carefully propping the sleeping twenty-five year old up against the wall, his multicoloured eyes slowly trailing their way down his body and back up.
Well, if he didn't search for it, he would never find it.
Abruptly reaching out with his hands, Ranmaru reached into both of Reiji's jacket pockets, blinking when the fingers of his left hand grazed over something. "What the-...what's this?" He wondered aloud, grasping the object and pulling it out, finding himself staring at a black and red striped wallet.
Oh, it's just his wallet...I wonder how much money-No. Bad thoughts. We're looking for his key, not time in prison for robbery. Ranmaru thought with a quick shake of the head, hurrying to put Reiji's wallet back in his pocket.
Continuing his search, he let his fingers slide into the front pockets of Reiji's green jeans, finding nothing in either of them.
He had already been able to tell that the two back pockets of the brunette's jeans were fake-sew shut for looks-and that meant Reiji didn't have anymore pockets to keep things in...so, where could he had possibly hidden his room key?
Deciding not to give up just yet, Ranmaru let his fingers start back up at Reiji's chest, slowly sliding them down over his torso. If his fingers slid over anything that didn't feel like clothing or flesh, then he would know he found the key.
He has such a...girly figure... Ranmaru couldn't help but think as he let his fingers slide over Reiji's hips. It's...strangely attractive...
He found himself blinking when he pressed his fingers against the hem of the brunette's pants, the rounded-edge of something small and rectangular pressing against his fingers.
"AH HA!"
Letting out a triumphant call, Ranmaru pulled the card from Reiji's jeans, standing back up so he could push it into the lock on the door. Once the green light on the security lock confirmed the key, Ranmaru slipped it between his teeth and stooped back down to pick Reiji up.
Using his foot to push open the door, Ranmaru carried his sleeping 'friend' inside, his eyes widening the moment he stepped foot into the apartment.
Oh...my...fucking...god...
Ranmaru didn't think he had ever seen a more fancy looking apartment, and he had been inside of Camus' actual apartment before.
There was a plush white couch with black and red pillows stretching from one wall to the other. Across from said couch was a massive, shiny flat screen hanging high on the wall, and below that was a large black entertainment center filled with games and movies.
A sparkly glass coffee table sat in front of the couch-seeming to actually contrast rather well with the marble flooring-and Ranmaru could just barely see a doorway off towards the outer edge of the room, which he assumed lead to a kitchen of some sort. Good god...
The silver-head let himself look around until his eyes set on the gray spiral staircase on the far end of the room. His room must be up there. He thought, crossing the room and descending up the stairs.
Ranmaru was a bit surprise to only find a bathroom and a single bedroom on the next floor, but he soon shook off the surprise and used his foot to kick open the door he assumed was for Reiji's bedroom and carried the sleeping brunette inside, squinting his eyes to adjust to the low amount of light.
He didn't bother to flick the lights on, but from what he could faintly see, Reiji's room was decorated a lot like his part of his room back at Saotome Gakuen, but-...since it took up a whole room now...Ranmaru couldn't help but realize what a calming-yet...romantic?-atmosphere the design of the room had.
Weird...
Deciding not to ponder too much on the thought, Ranmaru carried Reiji across the room and eased down onto the edge of his bed so he could lay the smaller-male down, reaching down to pull the soft, maroon-coloured blanket over top of him.
He let out a sigh, finding himself looking down at the sleeping figure next to him, not even realizing the smallest of smiles was tugging on the corner of his lips when he noticed that, even though Reiji had become one snappy son-of-a-bitch, he was...weirdly enough, attractive when he was asleep like this...
...The way his bangs fell in front of his face, the way his long eye lashes were pressed downward against his cheeks, and the way his lips slowly parted was just so...
Cute.
...Ah...
...The way his lips just slowly opened and closed...
...Those slow breaths passing through them and just barely fanning over them...
...God, he looked so kissable.
...Wait, what?! There was no WAY Ranmaru had just thought such a thing! Reiji couldn't look kissable! He disliked the kid more then Camus and Ai put together!
...But...ugh, he really did...He really did look kissable, no matter how much Ranmaru wanted to deny it, and before he cold stop himself, he was leaning down and closer to the sleeping figure's face, their breaths soon mixing together.
So close...
"What the HELL?!"
"GAH!"
Ranmaru was knocked backwards when a pillow suddenly hit him in the face, his breath getting knocked out of him when his back smacked against the floor.
"W-what the actual living fuck Ran-Ran?!"
The brunette had sat himself up in his bed, an obvious blush spread across his cheeks.
"Well ya' didn't have to hit me you know!" Ranmaru couldn't help but groan out, slowly sitting himself back up so he could rub his now sore back. "Uh, yeah, I kinda' did!" Reiji shot back, a bit of embarrassment seeping it's way into his voice. "You were gonna' kiss me! While I was sleeping!"
"Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't." The silver-head snorted, pulling himself back up so he could plop down on the side of Reiji's bed once again. "You were dead asleep anyway, so it's not like you really knew what I was doing. I could've been trying to suffocate you for all you know."
"With your lips?!"
"...Why do you sound so defensive anyway?"
Reiji's bright silver eyes slowly blinked upon being asked that, the light blush on his cheeks seeming to darken. "Well-..."
"If you really hadn't wanted me to kiss you, you would've yelled at me to get out already, but yet you've let me stay."
"U-um-.."
"Admit it, you wanted me to kiss you."
"I would never want such a thing!" The brunette snapped back. "Why would I ever want such an annoying bastard like you to kiss me?! Are you fucking insan-Mnnh!" Silver-eyes grew wide when a pair of lips shoved into his own, two hands pressed firmly to either side of his face to keep him in place, bright heterochromatic orbs-which were suddenly a lot closer then before-staring into his own, mercury coloured eyes.
Ranmaru was...kissing him...
The lips slowly moved against his own, those bright purple and shiny silver eyes slowly falling shut as Ranmaru pulled Reiji's head a bit closer so he could deepened the kiss, the brunette finding himself beginning to melt into the gesture the more it continued.
And before he could even realize it, he was kissing him back.
He could feel the silver-head stiffen a bit from surprise when he started kneading his own lips back against his, but when his hands found their way up to lock behind the rocker's neck to pull him even closer, he felt him relax again.
The kiss kept it's slow speed, even when their tongues added to the mix; both of them didn't know why, but the slow dance of their tongues seemed to make things even more erotic.
A small sigh left Reiji's lips, and he didn't even register he was being pushed down until he felt his back pressing against the soft mattress, Ranmaru hovering over him.
The two idol's lips were forced to pull apart when oxygen was needed, but after a few moments of refilling their lungs, they were at it again.
Slowly, Reiji could feel nimble fingers push beneath the hem of his shirt, grazing the skin on his stomach before they worked their way up, eventually brushing over a dusty pink nipple, making the brunette gasp and come back to his senses.
Almost automatically, Ranmaru was shoved back, Reiji pushing himself and the silver-head back into a sitting position once again, his hands firmly pressing against his shoulders.
No words were exchanged, and after a little while of just sitting there, breathless and confused, Ranmaru felt his own eyes widen.
He just-...
Almost with-...
Dear god.
"Reiji I-" Before Ranmaru could even think to get some form of explanation out, a doorbell was rung, the sound echoing throughout the entire apartment.
"I'll get it." Reiji said, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and not meeting Ranmaru's eyes as he got up and crossed the room, walking his way through the doorway and pressing his back to the door to close it back.
He then leaned against it and brought his hand up to cover his mouth. W-we just-...
Once the door was shut and Ranmaru was left alone in the room, he pressed two of his fingers against his lips. We just-...
-Kissed. They both thought simultaneously.
Reiji felt his cheeks heating up once again at the realization. A-and we nearly got enough in to it to where we almost had-
Ranmaru wished he could've stopped the light blush that rose to his cheeks. I actually touched him and we nearly ended up having-
-sex. They both thought in unison once again.
The sound of the doorbell ringing again snapped Reiji out of his daze and he practically ran his way down the stairs, calling out, "I'm coming!" on his way down.
"Ah, so Hirakou said she'd keep Tris over-night...? Really? I told her she didn't have to do that."
Reiji was looking up at and speaking to Saiko, who was grinning and leaning against the door frame of his front door, his arms folded over his chest. "It's her birthday present to you; you don't have to babysit tonight." He said, his grin slowly forming into a smirk. "But, that's not the real reason I'm here."
Reiji's head slowly fell to the side in a small tilt the blonde couldn't help but find adorable. "Then why are you here?"
"To give you my present of course~." Without warning, Reiji was grabbed and he was shoved against the door, said door slamming shut in the process. "Saiko-!"
"Shh, dear. It's your birthday..." Saiko leaned closer to Reiji, his lips brushing against his ear, sending an almost violent shiver down the brunette's spine, much to his liking. "Relax...I'll be nice and gentle with you, I promise~." Pressing his hands against the door on either side of Reiji's head, Saiko leaned in, intending to capture the smaller-male's lips in a hungry, heated kiss, only to have the back of his shirt yanked on, causing him to yelp in surprise and stumble back away from Reiji.
"What he HELL Saiko?!"
Oh, wait, he knew that voice~!
"Ran-Ran~!" Spinning around, Saiko smirked at seeing the obviously angered silver-head. "What are you doing here~?"
"That's for me to know, and for you to never find out." Ranmaru snapped, his fingers curling into fists at his sides. "Now, why don't you tell me, why the hell are you here?"
"To give Rei-chan his birthday present of course~." Saiko hummed, his breathy, seductive tone of voice only pissing Ranmaru off further. "Like hell you are."
"And who are you to tell me otherwise, hmm~?" Saiko stepped closer and pressed his index finger to Ranmaru's chest, his voice lowering so only the silver-head could hear him as he whispered, "Is someone just jealous of the thought that I can satisfy Rei-chan in ways you never will?"
Ranmaru hissed, but before he could respond, Reiji spoke up. "Guys, stop."
"Yeah, Ran-Ran, stop trying to start a fight with me." Saiko practically sang, stepping away from Ranmaru. "I wasn't even-"
"It doesn't matter. Saiko, I think you should go though..." Reiji said, folding his arms over his chest and walking forward a bit so he could cock his head back to gesture to the closed door behind him. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Aww, okay~." Saiko sounded a bit sad and whiny, but he didn't argue, turning around so that his back was facing Ranmaru. "Have fun with Ran-Ran, Rei-chan~. Just-...not too much fun, 'kay~?" The blonde's voice dropped a few octaves for that single sentence as he made his way forward, brushing past Reiji.
SMACK!
A high pitched squeal filled the room, Reiji's hands scrambling to press against his now stinging rear-end.
He just slapped my ass!
"Bye my Rei-chan~." The blonde's voice chuckled in obvious amusement before the front door clicked shut, leaving a fuming Ranmaru and a flustered Reiji alone together
"...I can't believe you like that ass..." Ranmaru said after a few moments of eerie silence filled the room. "We're not getting into this argument again." Reiji sighed, moving to walk past Ranmaru, only to have his wrist grabbed so he was forced to whip around and meet the silver-head's eyes. "He just about jumped you Reiji!"
"Yeah, so what? That's how Saiko flirts, everyone knows that."
"Reiji, that was obviously more then just flirting!" Ranmaru countered, Reiji yanking out of his grip. "Ranmaru, my relationship with Saiko has nothing to do with you! Stop acting like it does!"
Ranmaru was caught off guard by the fact that Reiji had just addressed him as Ranmaru, and not Ran-Ran. "Reiji-..."
"Just get out."
Ranmaru felt a frown forming on his lips, Reiji refusing to look at him. "Get out. I wanna' be alone."
For once, Ranmaru didn't put up much of a fight. Instead, he walked passed the brunette, grabbing the knob of the front door, twisting it, and using it to push the door open. "I'll be back...We want you back in Quartet Night, where you belong." He confessed, stepping outside and not being able to see Reiji lift his head and turn towards him, a bit of surprise passing through his eyes, though he still kept quiet.
"Oh, and-...happy twenty-second birthday. I'm sorry I didn't get you anything."
Silver-eyes widened, and just as Reiji opened his mouth to speak, the door closed.
He didn't know why, but when Ranmaru said those simple words to him, he felt his heart skip a beat and he didn't know why. Along with that...Ranmaru-a stoic, arrogant bass-player-had just apologized to him.
"The kiss was enough of a present." The brunette quietly said as he stared at the door, knowing he was the only one who could hear himself.
And that's where this chapter ends! Please forgive me, I tried to make it as long of a chapter as I could, but, if it doesn't make up for how long it took for me to update, don't be mad at me! D:
Anyway, ideas and reviews are welcomed! :3
