Wow, okay. I've never seen so much hate on one character before. O_O;;
Seriously, I expected everyone to be mad at Saiko, but not THAT mad at him. XD Oh well, he can have all the hate, I honestly don't mind.
Though, I will say this, about how you guys were saying that Reiji felt so much with Ran-Ran's kiss, and that he shouldn't have given in so easily to Saiko-...guys, he was hurt at the time.
He had just realized how lonely he really was and how much he missed his best friends, he was completely vulnerable D: But, none of that matters because- Oh, well, I can't tell you why, you'll just have to read to find out. :3
Oh, and good news! Thanks to this fanfic I'm keeping up with, I've decided to try and make my chapters longer! -TRY being the key word there-
Welp, anyway, thank you all of the reviews once again! And I do not own Uta No Prince-sama.
A pair of bright purple and silver-eyes shot open, followed by a sharp gasp as Ranmaru abruptly sat up in his bed, sweat clinging to his forehead and causing his spiky-silver bangs to stick to his skin.
What...in the world was that...?
Letting out little pants, the rocker quickly shook his head, burying his face in his hands as images from his sudden erotic nightmare replayed in his mind.
"A-aah! S-Saiko...! N-nhn..! M-more! H-harder~!"
Those desperate cries of pleasure.
Brown hair tossed back, sweat clinging to the beautiful body beneath the blonde as those pale lips let out heavy pants, Reiji's back arching off the bed almost entirely as he was pounded into a sweet oblivion.
The way his body reacted.
Fingers dug into the satin white sheets, fisting them as his climax rode up on him, Reiji writhing beneath the figure over top of him in the most erotic way possible, moaning out his name as strings of pearly-whites erupted from him, splashing against the blonde's stomach.
"S-Saiko...!"
It was all such a turn-on.
...Up until the silver-head realized just who had been giving the brunette so much pleasure in the dream.
Saiko. The bastard he would always hate.
Without much thought, Ranmaru snatched his phone up from his nightstand and flipped it open, being quick with typing a short message.
[Hey, you okay?
-Ranmaru]
A small hum filled a relatively quiet room, a big flat-screen bright with life even though no sound came from it, giving off the assumption it had been put on mute.
When the sound of a phone vibrating interrupted that sweet silence, a small frown tugged at the corner Reiji's pale lips, his silver-eyes drifting down to the coffee table in front of the couch he was laying back on.
Who in the world would be texting him so early in the morning?
Reaching out to pick up the device, Reiji flipped it open and read over the text, his silver-orbs slowly blinking at the words on the small screen.
[Yeah, I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?
-Reiji] -was Reiji's response, the brunette a bit startled with how-...un-awkward the conversation was starting out, despite the small fight him and Ranmaru had ended having the day before.
[Is Saiko there with you?
-Ranmaru]
Reiji looked down at the sleeping blonde who had his head in his lap, his eyes shut and his sun-yellow eye-lashes pressed down against his cheeks, a soft, surprisingly cute snore emitting from him each time he inhaled.
[Yeah, he came over yesterday after I broke down.
-Reiji]
Reiji didn't even have time to put down his phone before it vibrated again.
[You were crying yesterday...?
-Ranmaru]
Reiji stiffened when he read over the text, cursing under his breath when he realized he had let the small amount of info slip.
[It doesn't matter. He's here, but we just stayed up late watching a movie; why?
-Reiji]
This time, it was Ranmaru's turn to stiffen.
Reiji already knows I dont like Saiko...but that doesn't mean he needs to know I actually care. Ranmaru thought before typing his response.
[I just wanted to know is all.
-Ranmaru]
[Tch. Creep.
-Reiji]
Ranmaru snorted after reading over the message, shaking his head and snapping his phone shut, deciding not to respond to it.
Though he was still so confused...why would he have a nightmare like that?
He cared about Reiji as a friend...nothing more, nothing less.
At least...he thought he did...
"Ugh...I'll deal with this later." He said aloud with a groan, tossing his phone down next to him and climbing out of his bed to get ready for the day.
He must really not want me around Saiko... Reiji thought after waiting a few minutes and not receiving a text back from Ranmaru, his phone still in his hand but his free one resting on top of Saiko's head, his fingers just gently carding through his soft blonde locks. I wonder...could he actually be telling the truth? He wondered, looking down at the sleeping blonde. I mean...Ran-ran's never gotten so worked up before...but then again...Saiko's really nice to me...he would never be my friend just because he wants sex...
The brunette was snapped out of his thoughts when the door was knocked on.
"E-eh? O-oh, coming!" He called, trying to be a bit quiet, but also trying to be loud enough to where whoever was knocking would hopefully hear him.
Gently lifting Saiko's head up, Reiji slid off the couch, setting it back down on the soft cushions moments later so he could hurry to the door.
Unlocking it and twisting the doorknob, Reiji opened up the door, his eyes widening when ice-blue orbs met his own, that long, luscious, pale blonde hair being all too familiar to him.
"Myu...-chan...?"
What soon drew the brunette's attention was the giggly child in Camus' arms, whose pale blonde hair and bright blue eyes actually-...resembled him quite a bit.
"Is this little thing yours?" Camus blankly asked, holding out the giggling girl, who automatically stretched her small arms out towards Reiji.
"Weiji! Weiji, Twis missed you!"
Reiji blinked, the smallest of smiles coming to his lips as he reached out to take the child from Camus, holding her in his arms. "Hey, Tris...Rei-chan missed you too." He said softly before he looked up at Camus, who spoke before he could.
"This lady in the elevator handed her to me and told me to bring her since I was already on my way up to see you." He said, Reiji slowly blinking. "Oh...well thanks...Wait, how did you get my address?"
Camus folded his arms over his chest. "I know people." He said simply, Reiji letting out a sigh, though mentally, he was a bit happy to know Camus had come to see him. "What is it you needed?" He asked, sounding a bit like his old self.
"I came to get Ranmaru...I was honestly a bit afraid you had murdered him or something along those lines since he hadn't returned to me and Ai yet."
Reiji blinked, not being able to help but softly laugh at that, something he hadn't done in a while. "Yeah Myu-chan, that totally sounds like me."
"Well, the way you've been acting lately on television and what-not hasn't been sounding like you either...so I figured it was alright to assume." Camus said, leaning against the door-frame, Reiji looking up at him, completely surprised for a moment.
"Well it wasn't, so fuck off." He suddenly snapped after getting out of his daze, Camus himself blinking. "You really have changed...haven't you?" He asked, his look softening up a bit.
"You're not the same Reiji Kotobuki you were twelve months ago..."
"No I'm not. I'm better then him." Reiji said, turning his back to Camus temporarily so he could set Tris down, who automatically ran off. "I'm more famous then him...I'm more of a man then he was." He continued once he had faced Camus once again.
"But you're also more rude then he was...and you're not as likeable, or even gentlemanly...You've become something the old Reiji would despise; you're like a more irritable version of Ranmaru..."
Reiji flinched a bit at that. "I-..." He faltered a bit for a response.
"We want our Reiji Kotobuki back."
Silver eyes widened. "Myu-chan-..."
"We want you back in Quartet Night, where you belong."
Those words...
They were back.
"We want you back in Quartet Night, where you belong."
...Ranmaru had said that exact same thing to him...
"...Why?"
Confusion passed through Camus's blue eyes. "What do you mean?"
"Why do you guys want me back so badly...? You, Ran-ran, and Ai-ai all watched me leave...and you guys didn't do anything to stop me..."
"Reiji, I didn't stop you because I knew you'd be fine...and I wanted you to prove Ranmaru wrong. I wanted him to know what it felt like to be wrong...but in a severe way so he would always remember the lesson."
Reiji let a small frown tug at the corner of his lips. "But I was gone for an entire year Myu-chan...and you're just now coming to talk to me..."
"Actually, Kotobuki-san, it has not been exactly three-hundred and sixty-five days since you first declared your leave from Quartet Night. In actuality, it has only been three-hundred and sixty-two days."
A patch of bright blue hair slid out from behind Camus, a pair of equally shiny blue eyes meeting Reiji's own widened ones. "Ai-ai, you're here too?"
"Yes, I am." The blunette nodded. "And I completely agree with Camus on this one, you've changed, Kotobuki-san...Though, may I ask, have you really actually changed so much? According to my calculations, you seem to be acting this way for show, not because you actually want to."
Reiji was at a loss for words once again. "Ai-ai-"
"You don't really want to act this way, you're just doing it because it's how your fan-base wants you to act."
Reiji let his arms fold over his chest, but mainly because he could grasp the sleeves of his long-sleeved shirt that way and look down at the floor.
He didn't know what to say. He really didn't.
Mainly because...It all was just an act...but he never expected anyone to actually see that...
"Kotobuki-san."
Reiji slowly looked up when Ai got his attention, his eyes becoming fixated on the blue haired teenager. "You taught me something very important."
"I-...I've taught you lots of things Ai-ai...which particular thing are you talking about...?" Reiji asked, his voice shaking a bit as his eyes involuntarily began to water.
He never wanted to keep acting like a total douche. All he ever wanted-
"You'll remember when the time is right..." Ai slowly opened his arms in a gesture he had never shown before. "But, I shall give you a hint...I'm here because of it."
"Come back to us Reiji." Camus finally spoke himself.
"We need you." Both him and Ai said in unison.
-was to know his friends truly loved him and wanted him in the band.
The ever-building tears fell and Reiji dove into Ai's awaiting arms, clinging to the slightly-taller male as he cried, "I-I missed you guys so much...!"
"...We missed you too." Both Ai and Camus' voices said, a pair of bigger arms wrapping around Reiji from behind-much to his surprise-and a chin resting on his head, blonde locks falling over his shoulders.
"Twis missed Weiji too!"
Where she had come from, they would never know, but Tris-who had taken what was going on the wrong way-had her small arms wrapped around Reiji's left leg, hugging and nuzzling it. "Twis missed Weiji lots!"
Ah...If only the group had noticed the cold, ocean blue orbs that stared at them from the couch, the occupant's brain going into over-drive.
Those sons of bitches aren't taking my Rei-chan away from me...
"Kurosaki-san told you where to go right? To rendezvous with him?"
Reiji gave a small nod, leading his blonde-haired and blue-haired friends out of the building, a giggling Tris held securely in his arms; after he had calmed down, he had told them about the text message Ranmaru had sent him last night, telling him to meet him, and both Ai and Camus had agreed to take him there and watch over Tris while they spoke.
"Do you remember how to get there?" Camus was the one who spoke this time, the group coming to a stop at where the sidewalk cut off so they could walk across the road using the cross walk.
"Of course I do Myu-chan." Reiji said with a small smile, holding Tris out to the blonde-who soon took her-so he could press the button on the pole next to them, which would then send a signal to tell light to turn red so they could cross. "But...will you guys do me a favour?"
"Of course."
"Yes."
"Will you-..." Reiji bit his lip. "Will you not tell Ran-ran the way I'm acting...is all an act...?"
Camus furrowed his eyebrows together. "May I ask why?"
"I want him to figure it out on his own..." Reiji said simply but in a quiet tone. "That and I'm still going to need to be able to act in such a rude way in front of others...at least until I can muster up the courage to quit my current band..."
Camus and Ai slowly blinked but gave little nods, both of them blinking their blue eyes when they saw Reiji had already begun to cross the street, the sign across the road seeming to have already changed, telling them it was okay to walk.
Starting to make their way across the intersection, the two male's blinked, seeing Reiji already facing them on the sidewalk on the other side.
Guess the kid was a faster walker then he looked.
Before the two could even get halfway across the road, something caught their attention, causing them to stop.
A bright light was coming hurdling down the road in the lane closest to Reiji, the large white truck intending to run the light and go straight through the intersection.
They never had time to react to the scene though; a patch of blonde and red hair suddenly came into view behind their brown-headed friend, and before Reiji could even detect the figure was there, two strong hands shoved into his back, pushing him forward so that he tripped over the sidewalk's ledge, right into the street.
And right into the line of the speeding car.
Then time seemed to slow done.
Reiji didn't fall, but he sure as hell did stumble, not having enough time to recover and get out of the way of the on-coming car, whose driver wasn't even looking at the road, and was instead, looking down at his phone, texting away.
But what happened next suddenly caused multiple thoughts to come barreling at him at once.
"What is 'friendship'?"
Reiji slowly blinked at the question. "Friendship...?"
Ai nodded. "Yes, friendship. I have heard the word many times, but the definition isn't in my database, and so I am left horribly bewildered about what it means."
Two pale hands shot out from in front of him-
"Well...friendship is simply a relationship between friends, but I personally believe that, to have an actual friendship, you have to be loyal to your friends, and you have be reliable enough to where they can trust you with anything." He explained. "Along with that, you always have to be there for yours friends to have a good friendship, you can't just leave them behind when they need help."
Ai let his eyebrows slowly furrow together. "Do we have a friendship?"
"Of course!" Reiji smiled that goofy little grin of his. "I'll always be here for you, Ai-Ai! Same with the rest of Quartet Night! We'll be best friends forever~."
and gave him a firm shove so he was pushed backward.
"Kotobuki-san."
Reiji slowly looked up when Ai got his attention, his eyes becoming fixated on the blue haired teenager. "You taught me something very important."
Ice blue eyes met mercury silver ones as Reiji smacked back onto the pavement of the sidewalk, bright blue hair becoming a blur as Ai fell his way forward, not onto or towards the sidewalk, but down, towards the asphalt of the street, the bright lights that had once been distanced suddenly much, much brighter.
"I-...I've taught you lots of things Ai-ai...which particular thing are you talking about...?" Reiji asked, his voice shaking a bit as his eyes involuntarily began to water.
"You'll know when the time is right..."
It might've just been Reiji's imagination, but he could've sworn his widened-eyes had seen a faint smiling tugging at the corner of the bluenette's pale lips before the car blurred into his line of sight and the most atrocious, stomach churning crushing noise filled the air.
Friendship.
"AI-AI!"
And this is where this chapter ends, on a cliff hanger, I truly am sorry my dears, but I cannot focus any longer, it is already seven AM where I am. ^^;;
And just in case any of you are confused, Camus calls everyone by their last names in the actual UtaPri series, but I figured since everyone was so close now, he would try to do something that would make him feel closer to the band.
Ideas and reviews are welcome~. :3
