"Blah" - conversation

[Blah] - Translations. They would be right next to the Spanish words so you don't have to go all the way down to know what the hell I wrote there. Don't worry; it's just a few phrases. :P

    Star Child Chapter #3: Twin Brothers

The music stopped and the host of the show was immediately beside Hoshiko to ask for a few words. It was an exciting night, not only was Chico’s first gig, it was the first time they would be on National TV. For the guys of ENICO something was missing, and it was obviously their star, but for Chico he was living a dream.

Everyone was cheering at him, smiling at him, spotlighting him and no one else but him. I made it! He was excited to be a success that night. All the noise didn’t let him hear the question very clearly and he was obviously afraid to open his mouth when he saw the smiling face of the host asking him and no one else but him the silliest question.

“How you feel after the accident? Does it feel good to be back home?”

“I feel great! And, yeah, is great to be back!” He waved to the crowd smiling like he haven’t smile in his entire life. They loved me! They loved me! I didn’t blow it! Aiko would be pleased! He couldn’t stop grinning and minutes later they all walked off the stage only to be harassed by a hundred more cameras.

“Hoshiko! Hoshiko, how about an interview?”

“Can we ask you a few questions?”

“You were excellent tonight, are you planning to start touring in LA?”

So many questions kept coming and he could only stare a little afraid until the manager saved him. “Sorry, no interviews for now. He needs to get rest. Hoshiko is still delicate.” Aiko dragged him away from the crowd passing quickly through the group of journalists surrounding them.

He sighed. “Thanks. You are a lifesaver. I had no idea what to say.”

“And you better not open your mouth until you’re ready. We need to practice your pronunciation. Singing is one thing, but when you talked…so first thing in the morning, you’ll get a tutor.”

“A tutor? Then someone might know I’m not really…”

“Don’t even whisper that again. There are tons of journalists out there, they might hear you. And don’t worry, you’re tutor would be Yoshi.”

“Yoshi? Why him?”

“He has more patience than I do. Now better get ready ‘cause we’re leaving.”

“Where are the others?”

“Already gone. We’re going to a party, so you better behave, and don’t talk much.”

“You said I was delicate. Don’t you think is weird if I show up on a party?”

“You’re right. Maybe you should stay…yeah, because Takara would never spend the night with you and if you’re there…she must play along or everyone would suspect.”

“I can act! It’s not difficult to pretend I love her.” His eyes turned into heart shapes.

“Don’t even dream about it! She is Hoshiko’s fiancée, get it?!”

“Oh yeah, but I AM Hoshiko. You said it yourself.” He gave him a mocking smile. “Got ya! Don’t worry…I just want to squeeze her boobies.”

“Why do all the guys drool when they see her?”

“Don’t you think she’s hot??? You must be blind, or nuts!!”

“Just shut up and move.” I am not blind, just gay.

He was left on Aiko’s house while all the others party. “Damn…why did I have to open my mouth? I would be right now surrounded by girls with huge breasts.” Starts drooling. “Ahhhh…this isn’t that bad after all.” He made himself comfortable and lay on the sofa waiting for Aiko to return, but the hours passed and he got tired.

It was six in the morning when he arrived and saw the little guy asleep on the couch. “What the hell is he doing there? Didn’t I tell him to go to bed?” He shook him until the young one opened his eyes. “Open your eyes.”

“Huh? Aiko…what time?”

“Doesn’t matter, go to your bedroom.”

“I was waiting for you.”

“You don’t have to wait for me, you’re not my mom.” He sat next to him and lit up a cigarette. “You’re annoying, but Takara refused to receive you at her house.”

“She lives with Hoshi?”

“Yup. So…I’m stuck with you.”

“I’m sorry…” His eyes turned sad. He knew he wasn’t welcome at all. “I don’t want to bother.” He quickly stood up and ran to his new room and threw himself on top of the bed crying painfully for so much rejection. “Why? Why he has to be so mean? I only try to do things right to please them all, and all they see are my defects. How long would this last?” He sighed and kept sobbing strongly while Aiko listened to his cries outside the door.

His ice cold eyes turned sad as he listened and then quickly left to his own room letting himself fall on the sheets while he smokes. “Sorry…I just can’t get attached to you by any chance. You…you look so much like my Hoshi. I just don’t want to get confused…and even more hurt.”

Yoshi smiled at him and sat next to him with some books. “So…I’ll teach you to read well and pronounce better. You do pretty well, but…you know Aiko-he’s a perfectionist.”

“It’s ok; I want to learn how to read fluently.”

“Ok, that’s all you need!” The drummer rubbed Chico’s hair like he was a little kid, and then continues to study with the guy. Time after time Chico looked up to the drummer a little annoyed by his constant air playing, but figured it was kind of cute anyway and kept on reading. “I’m starving; you want to get something to eat?”

“Sure! I am quite hungry too.”

“Ok, you need to gain weight anyway.” They spent about an hour eating and when they came back Aiko was waiting furious. “Hey!”

“I told you to study, not to go out on dates!”

“We were just having dinner, we were hungry. Don’t you ever get hungry? Just chill, we weren’t on a date…or are you jealous? Don’t tell me, you finally realized that you are desperately in love with me!” He took his hand and smile with glittering eyes.

“Jerk!” Then he quickly removed it. “You could order take out…you’re place is here, studying.”

“Fine, but you will drive these kid nuts and then he’ll run away from us…you don’t want that do you?”

“Just get back to work!” He left with another cigarette on his lips.

“Wow…somebody needs a lover, huh?” He winked and smiled and Chico could only giggle. “He really needs to chill or he’ll die of a heart attack.”

“You know, he shouldn’t smoke so much-it’s not healthy.”

“Exactly what I say!”

A week later Aiko’s door was knocked. “R-Renzo! What…what are you doing here?”

“I would like to speak with my brother, Takara told me he’s living with you. Is that true? Why isn’t he living with Takara anymore?”

“They…had a fight, you know lovers.”

“Where is he? I came all the way from NY just to see him.” He entered the door the taller man was blocking and looked around. “Where is he?”

“He’s not feeling very well…after the accident, well…he’s been acting weird, ya know.”

“Stop blabbering and let me see my little brother.”

“Fine, come this way.”

Aiko walked upstairs with the younger man following closely and stood in front of the door nervous. “Maybe he’s asleep.”

“Just knock the damn door, k?”

He tried to smiled, but only twitch his lips a little worried. He knew he would discover it. “Hoshi…you awake?” He knocked again softly. “Your brother is here…”

“Can you knock a little louder? He probably didn’t hear you. Move, let me.” He quickly opened the door and found ‘his brother’ reading a book. “So, aren’t ya happy to see me?”

Chico opened his eyes widely; he couldn’t believe everything was over already, but he felt happy to see him awake. “Hoshiko? Is that you? You awake!!!” He ran to him and hugged the slightly taller man. “I’m glad.”

Aiko was about to faint when he heard that and tried to act cool. “Hoshi…don’t you remember your brother Renzo?” He looked at confused Renzo. “I told you he was acting weird.”

“I’m going to tell you one thing Aiko…you know I never liked you, right?” Aiko nodded. “So I’m just going to spit it out. This is not my brother. Where is Hoshiko? What you did to him???”

“Wha-what are you talking about…this is Hoshi, your little brother.”

“He may look just like Hoshi, but he’s not.”

“So...you’re not Hoshiko? How many men look like him?” Chico asked confused. The man in front of him looked exactly like Hoshiko and him. He was only about an inch taller.

“You see, he’s not Hoshi! Where you get him? Why does he look just like my brother and I?”

“Hey…I don’t know.” Aiko finally accepted. “I found him in Mexico City; we needed someone to step as Hoshi, so…”

“You monster! Where’s my brother!” His eyes begin to tear with pain and desperation- he was thinking the worst.

“He’s in a coma. You can visit him if you want.”

“I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you or anyone…I…” Chico shyly begins.

“Shut up! Imposter! I’m going to tell everyone about this prank! You’re going down Aiko, this time…I’ll get rid of you. You won’t lay a finger on my brother!”
