[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravitation, I want to though, you know… my birthday is coming up….
Author Note: This isn't really what happens in the Manga or the Anime; I just decided to write my own version of events. I hope you all don't mind, oh and sorry everyone, no lemons in this story, maybe a little kissing, but no full out lemons….
Shuichi watched as his idol glided along the stage. He watched his every movement and smiled. He had loved Ryuichi since the moment he had heard his beautiful voice almost 6 years ago. He had been devastated when the band had broken up and Ryuichi had gone to America to peruse a solo career. But, they had finally reunited, back together again in Tokyo!
He turned to his best friend, Hiro. “Finally, I finally get to meet him! My Idol! I get to meet RYUICHI SAKUMA!” He half yelled half cheered. Bouncing up and down in a hyper way all his own.
Hiro just smiled, “Remember, I'm the one who got you here. You owe me big time,” Hiro teased his best friend, giving him a small smack on the head.
“I know, I know, and I love you for it Hiro-kuuuuuunnnn.” Shuichi cooed and nuzzled his best friend, making Hiro blush.
It had started out as a contest, a simple contest to meet the famous Ryuichi Sakuma-san. All you had to do was write a song and then record it. Then, send it to NG and finally, if your song was good enough, you got to meet him, Ryuichi that is.
When Shuichi had first heard about the contest, started working on a song in less then 5 minutes. Tabs for Hiro and his guitar; notes for his synth, not to mention lyrics for him to sing.
This contest was also what lead Shuichi to meet Yuki Eiri. The cold hearted novelist that Shuichi fell in love with. Though no one was really sure if that feeling was mutual all the way around… but, Shuichi was happy and Hiro couldn't complain, he hadn't seen his friend like this in awhile.
While Shuichi had been mopping around, waiting to find out who Yuki was, (Yes, that's right folks, his friend hadn't known who the man he was in love with was for a couple days after he had met him,) Hiro had turned in the tape which Shuichi had seemed to have forgotten about and they had been chosen the winners of the contest.
Shuichi turned and looked at his friend, “What are you thinking about? Why are you smirking? HIROOOOOOOOO.” Shuichi whined and nuzzled his friend again.
“Nothing, stop whining, when we meet Ryuichi, you don't want him thinking you're a whiner, do you?” Hiro asked, catching his friend on his own technicality.
“No, of course not!” Shuichi said, startled, he hadn't thought about that before.
The concert ended and the backstage man came to get the two teens. Shuichi was jumping up and down and Hiro was trying to keep him under control the best he could.
“Are you two the contest winners?” He asked, looking at Hiro and the out of control Shuichi.
That's kinda a stupid question… Hiro thought, laughing quietly.
“Yep, we get to meet Sakuma-San!!!!” Shuichi burst out and then squeaked when Hiro clapped a hand over his mouth.
“Yes, that would be me and my obnoxious pink haired friend here.” Hiro said, rolling his eyes. The backstage man looked at the two.
“Alright, let's go.” He said turning and heading toward the door that said backstage in big letters.
Hiro shot Shuichi a look, “I understand your excited, but calm down you baka. Your going to get yourself kicked out.” He removed his hand from Shuichi's mouth, who nodded and now looked nervous.
They started to walk and Hiro noticed Shuichi getting paler and paler.
“Do….Do you think he is nice? Do you think he'll like me?” Shuichi asked looking at Hiro, who was a little surprised.
Shuichi had been bouncing up and down only moments before, excited to meet his idol, but now, he was nervous? Hiro never thought he would see the day Shuichi got stage fright.
“I'm sure he'll love you Shu-chan, don't be so nervous, and be yourself. You'll do fine.” Hiro said giving his friend a reassuring pat on the back.
Shuichi smiled weakly, but it was a smile none-the-less. Hiro smiled and almost ran into the back stage man.
“Wait here, he should be out in a couple of minutes. And you, kid with the pink hair, don't worry; he is the nicest guy I have ever met.” He smiled and Hiro sent him a look of gratitude. He saw Shuichi relax a bit.
A couple minutes later, he heard Shuichi release his breath, “There he is.” Shuichi said simply, freezing and tensing up again.
“Hi, no da! I'm Ryuichi! Who are you, no da?” Ryuichi asked the two, Hiro looked at Shuichi who looked like he was about to faint.
“I'm Hiroshi Nakano, and this is….” Hiro was cut off by Ryuichi.
“YOU'RE SHUICHI SHINDOU!!!” Ryuichi cried and glomped Shuichi, who hit the ground and looked up at Hiro for an explanation.
Hiro shrugged and looked at the bodyguard who shrugged too.
“I…I love your song, no da! It is so, cool! I wish I could sing like you na no da! Your music is soooo cool!” Ryuichi said nuzzling against a blushing Shuichi.
“A…Arigato, Sakuma-San.” Shuichi managed to get out. He looked scared for a moment, as Ryuichi had looked at him seriously. Had he done something wrong? What had he done.
“Gomen… Sorry, Sakuma-San.” Shuichi stuttered which only seemed to piss Ryuichi off more.
“Call me Ryuichi, Ryuichi-kun, or Ryu-Chan, I am NOT Sakuma-san.” He said seriously, before turning all chibi again.
“Oh, um, okay, Ryuichi-kun.” Shuichi said, breathing a sigh of relief. He had thought he had pissed off the singer and was worried about getting kicked out again.
“I think you should work with me! You should sing with me Shu-Chan! Kuma and I would love that, no da!” He cried out, showing Shuichi his pink bunny rabbit and having it give him a kiss. Shuichi blushed, Ryuichi looked sad.
“What's wrong, Saku…Ryuichi-kun?” Shuichi asked, concerned, at the sad look on his idols face.
“Kuma got a kiss and I didn't, I want one to, it's not fair!” Ryuichi screamed the last part and started to cry. “Stupid Kuma, always taking things first!”
Shuichi blushed a deep crimson, he put a hand on Ryuichi's cheek, and the older man looked at him.
“Come here,” Shuichi said and gave Ryuichi a quick kiss, before blushing and turning away.
“YAY! Ha, see Kuma, you only got one on the cheek! I got one on the lips, he likes me better!” Ryuichi cried in delight before climbing off Shuichi and running toward someone coming in there general direction.
“TOHMA-KUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Ryuichi cried and jumped into his arms.
“How are you love?” Tohma asked and Shuichi slinked away and hid behind Hiro. Meeting Ryuichi was one thing, but his lover's brother in law? That was a whole different story.
“I was talking to Shu-Chan and Hiro-Kun and I think that they should make music, cause they are really good!” Ryuichi told Tohma and Shuichi heard Tohma's tone drop into an evil sounding whisper.
“Shuichi Shindou, huh?”
“H…H..Hai, that's me…” Shuichi said gathering a little bit of courage and stepping out from behind Hiro nervously.
“Hmm, your just like Mika-san described, so, you're the new playtoy?” Tohma asked coolly and stared at the nervous pink-haired singer.
“He…” Shuichi started but was quickly shut up by Hiro.
Ryuichi didn't seem to notice the nervous tension that had entered the room but was looking between the flustered Shuichi and the pissed off Tohma.
“Tohma? Can Shuichi sing with me? PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!' Ryuichi burst out and pulled child-like on Tohma's sleeve. “Kuma wants him to sing with us too, he is good, you picked him too!” Ryuichi cried out and pulled harder on Tohma's sleeve when he didn't get a response from the older man.
“That was before I met the, `damn brat'” Tohma murmured only loud enough for who he thought only Shuichi and Hiro to hear. Shuichi looked away; he had used Yuki's “loving” term for him.
“TOHMA! THAT WAS MEAN NO DA!” Ryuichi cried, having heard what he had said. He quickly covered Kuma's ears and looked at Tohma ferociously; only, it was more cute then evil.
Shuichi blushed as Ryuichi came over and kissed him on the cheek, “Tohma's being a meany” he said reassuringly to the young teen. Who was blushing even worse when Ryuichi put his arms around his waist.
Hiro smiled at the sight, he had never expected Shuichi to be… so… much like Ryuichi, they were almost twins, everything about them was so similar. He laughed out loud at the thought of the two twins together on stage; or walking through the streets confusing people as the two walked together.
Ryuichi walked over to Hiro, Tohma stood forgotten in a corner, or at least for the time being. He was looking over Shuichi thoughtfully, thinking of ways to destroy the boy, all for his Eiri-kun. He was also trying to figure out what Eiri saw in the boy. He couldn't find anything to particular about him, besides his strange resemblance to Ryuichi. They even looked the same when they blushed. Tohma was determined to get this boy out of Eiri's life.
Meanwhile, Ryuichi had walked over to Tohma, back to his begging about Shuichi and Hiro joining NG.
`TOHMA! PAY ATTENTION!” Ryuichi cried in desperation, he hated being ignored, especially by Tohma.
“Sorry love, now, how can I help you? A lap dance?” Tohma joked with the older singer, who blushed a deep crimson. Tohma had only said that to see how similar the two boys looked.
“TOHMA, no… No… that is naughty!” Ryuichi cried out and covered the pink rabbits ears again. “I want to sing with Shu-Chan! He is good and he can work at NG! K, he can help, oh please, please, please Tohma-kuuun!' Ryuichi pleaded.
Tohma hated to admit it, but that boy sure had a great voice, and on top of that, he couldn't deny his lead singer of anything. It was literally impossible for him to do it. He sighed and looked at the two.
The taller boy with Auburn hair looked hopeful, while Shuichi was officially retreated behind his taller friends back. Though even Tohma could tell he wanted this, more then anything.
Tohma had a lot at stake here, he could deny the boys, and say they weren't good enough, that it wasn't professional enough. He would then however, upset Ryuichi, who probably wouldn't talk to him for days. Then, he might upset Eiri-kun and that is about the last thing he wanted.
His second option was to tell the boys fine. They could join NG. He would then make Ryuichi happy, Eiri-kun happy, or as happy as he could be, and the two boys happy. The downsides to this option, seeing the brat everyday. Dealing with his grating voice, his annoying tendency's, Tohma wasn't sure if he really had any annoying tendencies, nor is his voice was really that annoying, but he just assumed they were.
Ryuichi looked at Tohma with only the puppy dog eyes that he could make. Shuichi was looking at him with a mixture of fear and total excitement. Hiro, the auburn haired boy was looking at him with an expression unreadable to Tohma.
He sighed looking between Ryuichi and the two young boys. “Of course he can sing with you, Ryu-Kun.” He said finally.
Ryuichi leaped into Tohma's arms, kissing him on the cheek before diving on Shuichi.
“SEE! I told you he would let you sing with me! And you said he wouldn't, that he didn't like you.” Ryuichi cried out happily while Shuichi looked away from Tohma.
Oh, so the boy already knows I don't like him. Tohma thought walking away from the newly abided pop singers and his little Ryu-Kun. Great, then I will have to work in more mysterious ways then normal. He turned back for just a moment.
“Work starts at 8 o'clock sharp, I expect the both of you to be on time a warmed up. If you are not warmed up by at least 8:15, then I will drop you. You are not here on a permanent basis yet, so don't slack off. I will be watching you.” Tohma said before walking out the backstage door and to his car in the parking lot.
