Kali stood backstage still, hoping to get a chance to speak with Sakuma-san afterwards. His assistant stood a few feet away from her, checking on the star's schedule. Oh, she would get him for this! She seethed. No one was supposed to touch the God, Sakuma Ryuichi! NO ONE! She had to stop this indecency!

 

An hour later, Ryuichi stepped off the stage for the second and final time that night. He smiled at Tatsuha, leaving it at a significant look for now. He took another water bottle, and as he tipped his head back to drink it down, he noticed a young girl off to one side. Becoming curious, he walked over, wondering if she maybe wanted an autograph, and had somehow snuck backstage.

 

Tatsuha followed him, one eyebrow raised. "Sakuma-san, don't spend too much time. We have an interview with the papers in thirty minutes."

 

"I'll just be a moment, Tatsuha-kun." Ryuichi replied, smiling at the young girl. "Hey... were you looking for an autograph?" He asked.

 

Kali tried to temper her glare. It wasn't Sakuma-san she was mad at, but him; what had Sakuma-san called him? Tatsuha-kun? Yes, him. Tatsuha-kun was the one she was angry at. Smiling a little, she replied. "I-I was wondering if I could get your autograph..." She asked, blushing a little because it was still Sakuma-san in front of her, gay or not.

 

Tatsuha's cell phone went off at that moment, playing the tune to Bad Luck's song, Glaring Dream. He grinned and picked it up. "Hello, bro, what can I do for you? I never expected the great Eiri Yuki to call his little brother for anything."

 

He listened, grimacing after a moment and holding the cell away from himself. He waited till it calmed down before listening. He then glanced over the PDA. "Yeah, he can make it tonight. I'll let him know." He laughed. "Then tell Shu-chan that I'll make certain he comes over. Can't have him upset with me. He's kind of like a brother-in-law after all." He listened once more before laughing a second time. "Ok, talk to you later. Bye."

 

He then looked at Ryuichi. "Hey! Shu-chan wants you over for dinner tonight."

 

Ryuichi turned, "He does? I wonder why? Okay. That sounds good." He turned back to the girl. "Sorry, what's your name?" he asked taking the paper and pen she offered him.

 

"Kali." She told him.

 

"That's a very pretty name. Here you are." He said, signing a quick message and his name, before handing it back to her. He made to leave, before she taught his sleeve.

 

"I-I know. About you." Kali said.

 

Ryuichi smiled. "What do you know about me sweetie?" He asked, flashing her his most charming smile.

 

"About you... and him." She nodded in Tatsuha's direction. "I heard you earlier. And I'm going to tell everyone."

 

Tatsuha felt anger rise in him, but he held back, looking at his lover before looking at her. "Well, we can't stop you from doing that. But I will say this much, do you hate that so much that you want to ruin the chance of ever seeing Ryuichi sing again? While I'll stand by him no matter what happens, we've both agreed that should the fans find out, we will stand by one another." That said; he looked at Ryuichi, giving him a soft smile.

 

Ryuichi stood shocked. He hadn't expected anyone to find out so soon. "I-I...I, uh. I understand you wanting to tell people, because... it's an important thing. But, my personal life is MY personal life, and the fans don't need to know. If you tell the magazines, fine. It won't do anything. We'll still be together. But Nittle Grasper may not be. Please, think before you do anything." He pleaded with her. He turned back to Tatsuha. "Let's go. Shu-chan's waiting for us." He said, before walking back to his dressing room to grab his stuff and leave.

 

Tatsuha paused, looking over at her. "You really hate me, don't you," he said in a soft voice.

 

"Yes." Kali told him, not bothering to hide it anymore. "No one should touch the God Sakuma-san. Especially not you." She spat at him, glaring fiercely.

 

Tatsuha smiled sadly. "Does that mean that he's not allowed to fall in love? To be happy? To be human?"

 

Kali looked at him oddly. "Sakuma-san is always happy. It's WRONG what you do with him. It's not love, and everyone else will agree!"

 

The teen raised an eyebrow. "I suppose telling you that he's the male in the relationship won't change your mind. And while I know Ryuichi will survive, I wonder if his fans could."

 

Kali just glared at him, before whipping around and storming off. She'd show him. The fans would be angry, as they should be. They would get rid of this "Tatsuha-kun" and get the real Sakuma-san back. This was so wrong!

 

He sighed, walking back to the door, his eyes sad as he removed his sunglasses to look at him. "Ryuichi, are you sure you're ready for the possibility that you may never sing again?"

 

Ryuichi looked at him seriously. "No. I'm not. This is my LIFE, Tatsuha. I can't just "give it up". I thought I could when I lost you, but even then, I was working, making that song better for you. What will I do without my music? I could always go abroad, but Japan is my HOME. I don't want to leave everyone and everything I love just because my fans can't handle it."

 

Tatsuha bit his lip, looking away. "Maybe I could go away for a while. Till things calm down."

 

Ryuichi shook his head. "No, I don't want you doing that either. We will figure something out. Whether she tells people or not. We HAVE to stay together, to show that nothing can affect us or our relationship. Because, we are more important to each other than anything else in this world, right?"

 

Tatsuha nodded. "Right. And like Shu-chan did with my brother, you're stuck with me. I just didn't want to make you sad, because of our relationship."

 

"That could NEVER make me sad. It's what makes me so happy all the time. I've never been happier then when I'm with you." Ryuichi told him, leaning up and giving him a gentle kiss. "We can continue this in the car. I want to get out of here, now."

 

He nodded. "But you have that interview before we can go to Shu-chan's."

 

Ryuichi frowned. "Can we cancel it?"

 

Tatsuha looked at him. "I can't cancel, only reschedule."

 

Ryuichi thought about it. "What if... we tell them ourselves, before Kali does. At least it would be out there for real, and from US so it won't look so bad, like we've been hiding it."

 

"Best time to do it before she can is by telling the newspaper you have the interview with tonight. And that's how Eiri protected Shuichi and himself. He came right out and told everyone."

 

"Okay. We'll do that then. Me and you together. Right?" Ryuichi asked, looking up at him hopefully.

 

Tatsuha nodded. "Together. It's what I've always told you, isn't it?"

 

"Yes it is. Alright. Let's get out of here." Ryuichi said, more than ready to leave.

 

Tatsuha nodded, moving to lead Ryuichi out the side door and into the waiting limo. "So, we face the newspapers?"

 

"Yep. We face them, and tell them everything." Ryuichi agreed, getting into the limo. He pulled another bottle of water from the mini fridge in the back as he sat back.

 

Tatsuha raised an eyebrow at those words. "Everything?" he asked, stressing the word.

 

"Well... maybe not everything. Like, not details, but we tell them we're together, at least."

 

"And living together?" Tatsuha asked.

 

"Yeah... I don't know. You think that's okay? How about we figure out what to say and what not to say?"

 

Tatsuha smiled. "The more honest you are, the more your fans will understand. Above all, Ryu-ai, just be yourself."

 

"Ryu-ai? That's a new one. But, you're right. Honesty is best." Ryuichi said

 

He smiled softly. "Well you're my Ryu and you're my ai... my love... so I just put the two together. But I can not call you it if it bothers you."

 

"Nono, it doesn't bother me! I like it!" Ryuichi said, not wanting his boyfriend to think he hated it.

 

One dark eyebrow rose. "Really? You sounded like you didn't like it."

 

Ryuichi frowned. "I did? Well, I was just surprised by it. But I do like it. It's very... cute, and... loving." he smiled.

 

"Well, I love you. It's that simple."

 

Ryuichi grinned. "You're right. It is that simple."

 

Tatsuha smiled, kissing him softly.

 

"Mmmhmm." Ryuichi moaned into the kiss, melting into it.

 

Tatsuha groaned, pulling him close, even as he deepened the kiss.

 

Ryuichi returned it just as deeply, before pulling back. "We can't...not now..."

 

Tatsuha sighed, leaning back in his seat. "Yes, I know."

 

Ryuichi smiled. "Sorry, I want to too, but we have to be ready for this."

 

Tatsuha shrugged. "I didn't know kissing would make us un-ready for the truth. I want everyone to know, Ryu. I want to shout it from the rooftops that Ryuichi Sakuma loves me... and that I love him... and that, most of all, he wants to stay with me forever."

 

He scrunched up his nose. "That's not what I meant and you know it. And I know; I want to do the same. So, pretend this is Tokyo Tower and we're both shouting it out to the world."

 

Tatsuha smirked, his eyes twinkling, even as he opened up the sunroof. "Okay, I will."

 

Ryuichi's eyes widened. "Not now! You can't do that! Sit down!" He grabbed Tatsuha's jacket as he made to stand up and pulled him back to him. "You don't have to take me so literally!"

 

The teen laughed, even as he fell back in the seat. "You just ruined all my fun."

 

"Good! Because you just gave me a heart attack!”

 

Tatsuha frowned, leaning back against his seat, looking away. "Yeah, yeah, I won't go shouting out how much I love you to the world."

 

Now it was Ryuichi's turn to frown. "I highly doubt shouting it from the roof of a limo is a good idea, Tatsuha."

 

Tatsuha stared at him. "We're about to tell a world wide newspaper that we're a couple. Why can't I shout it from the sunroof? Not like anyone will really pay any attention to it."

 

Ryuichi glared before folding his arms and sitting back against the seat. "Because. I don't want you too. It's silly, and childish, and clichéd. And maybe I don't want to tell the newspapers anymore if you're going to be like this."

 

Tatsuha's eyes flashed with pain, which he quickly hid behind sunglasses. "Fine. Then you can let me out at the next stop and I'll go home. I know it's silly, childish, and clichéd, but damnit, I love you. And for once in my life, I'm tired of hiding it!"

 

Ryuichi was silent for a moment. "Fine. Go home then. You can pack while you're there, and we won't have to tell anyone anything ever again. Because there won't be an 'us' to tell anyone about."

 

Tears seemed to fill his eyes, but the dark shades hid the fact. He swallowed and nodded. "Fine. I'll be gone before you return," he said, watching the traffic. The second they reached the street light, he got out, slamming the door and stalking toward their hotel, even as hot tears began to pour down his cheeks.

 

Ryuichi sat in shock as Tatsuha got out and slammed the door. Oh god. What did I do?! He couldn't believe he had just said that to Tatsuha! That's not what he wanted at all. ARGH! Stupid pride! He should have just apologized! He got an idea. Stupid, he had said so himself, but it was all he had. Standing up, he stood on the seat, out the sunroof that was still open.

 

"Tatsuha!" He yelled. "I didn't mean that! Come back! I love you!" He yelled to the retreating figure. "Please Tats-chan! I love you so much!" The limo started moving again, taking him further away. "Nonono! Stop! We have to get him back!"

 

Tatsuha whirled around, staring at his lover, even as Ryuichi did the one thing he had just admitted as silly and stupid. He couldn't help but smile, even as the limo pulled over, so its rider didn't try to jump out of a moving vehicle. He walked back over toward him, shaking his head. "I thought that was silly, childish, and clichéd?"

 

"I decided I don't care. You're way more important than public image. Please, I really didn't mean it. Heat of the moment and everything. Please come back to me?!" Ryuichi begged, still hanging out the roof.

 

Tatsuha stood beside the limo, looking right up at his lover, glasses off and his eyes red. "Now, how can I refuse such a thing?" he asked, looking around at the fan's who's mouths were wide open. He then smirked. "Should I let him go? Or come back to him?"

 

"GO BACK TO HIM!!!" the crowd shouted once the surprise wasn't holding them still. Tatsuha smirked.

 

"Well, with fans like this, I guess I had better take you back, ne, Ryu-ai?"

 

Ryuichi blinked at the crowd he hadn't even noticed gathering, before smiling widely. Slipping down back into the car, he got out and flung himself at Tatsuha. "Thank you. I'm so sorry!"

 

Tatsuha smiled, holding him tightly. "Don't be. We just let stress get to us. Plus, I think your fans won't mind us at all."

 

"Just as long as Sakuma-san is the Seme in the relationship!" someone hollered out.

 

Ryuichi blushed at that comment. "It seems like they don't mind. There goes having to tell them, ne?"

 

Tatsuha glared. "Not all of them know. Tell the paper, if you want, and then they won't feel so bad."

 

Ryuichi backed down at his glare. "True. I'll tell them. I promise." He said, looking down. He still needed to redeem himself in his lover's eyes, and this would be the best way to do it.

 

He sighed, meeting Ryuichi's gaze. "I only want you to do it if you want to do it."

 

"I do want too. And I will. But, you have to be with me on this. I know, it's mostly me, but that's just because I'm so unsure you're really with me. Forever. I'm... not used to it." Ryuichi blushed deeper.

 

He smiled softly. "I am with you Ryu-ai. Now and forever. Only you can ever push me away."

 

"And I won't, not anymore." Ryuichi promised. "I love you Tats-chan."

 

"I love you too, Ryu-ai."
