Orientation: Pansexual

 

Birthplace: Sapporo, Hokkaido, but is currently living in Tokyo.

 

Job: Actor

 

Height: 5’8”

 

Weight: 60 kg.

 

Hobbies: Dancing. He is quite good at it, as he has been dancing for a few years now, yet he has never had the chance to show his skills anywhere, as he couldn’t even debut in a J-POP band, but ended up being an actor. Also, he is good at drawing. It’s pretty much calming him down and giving him the peace that is missing in his life.

 

Body: He is pretty much like any other typical Japanese male on his age – skinny, not so muscular, middle height, yet quite the pretty face. Many are saying that this is one of the reasons why he was chosen to be an actor.

 

Eyes: He has dark brown eyes, yet is so used to wear blue lens that many think this is his actual eye color.

Likes: Quiet places, dancing, smoking and drinking. It has become a habit of his, due to the stress he was receiving at his work place.

 

Dislikes: Being made fun of, idiots, cocky brats… basically half of the famous people at the moment.

 

A bad side of his: Never speaks what he actually thinks.

 

Motto: “What doesn’t kill you destroys you. That’s why you should break through any difficulty and fight all the way up there – on the wished spot, you wanna stand on.”

 

Biography: Yuusuke has always dreamed to be either a singer or a dancer. Yet as he entered the agency, being a trainee for 5 years, he ended up being left aside and put to debut as an actor. He has been fighting for a few years already to actually get any bigger role, not anything supporting or anything that would show the least of his potential. Yet, that actually didn’t happen till now. Even though he is having difficulty though with that, at least using his face, he was able to become a model for a few companies, that way earning some money to at least make a living.

His parents still think that he should maybe give up and just search for something that would actually bring him much more money, yet he doesn’t want to stop. This is everything he has been doing almost his whole life – fighting his way to the top, so he didn’t want to give up now.

 

Interesting facts: He is really interested in History. That’s why he is often found reading historical books in the library.

About: The dinner tonight

 

Good afternoon Yuusuke-san,

 

I am writing you to inform you about the place and hour of the dinner tonight.

The place is hotel Tokyo, time: 8:30PM.

The special invitation card must arrive until 12PM at your agency.

 

Hope to see you there.

 

Greetings,

Mr. Yuichiro.

 

Right, tonight was the so called dinner for the new Japanese historical drama that was about to start soon. Yuu looked once again at his phone, as he was sitting on one of the chairs in the small café near his company, taking a deep breath. Another supporting role was given to him. Which one was it actually? 5th? 6th? He wasn’t sure himself. It has been three years since he officially debuted as an actor, yet nothing big was given to him as a role yet. What a bad luck. No wonder many were telling him that maybe giving up was the best. He was either way just wasting his time on something that might not be worth it at all. Yuusuke was already graduated from university, as one of the top students; even though the time he entered was the time he was preparing to debut with the new Japanese Pop band “Sunshine”, yet in the end… he wasn’t even able to do it. So he had plenty of time to at least study harder, his major being Graphic Design. Even though that though, he wanted to wait a little bit more. Just one more year. If he couldn’t make it for the next one year, he had promised his parents that he’d give up for real. They were worried enough already for his future, so that was the best decision to do.

 

Taking one last sip of his coffee, Yuu got up from the chair, putting on his long jacket, along with the hoodie on his head, that was hiding almost his whole face, which was actually perfect though, putting on one black mask, taken out of his pocket, leaving the money that the coffee cost and leaving the warm place, just to meet the cold breeze hitting against his face. It was that time of the year, were snow might have not fallen, yet the wind was strong and cold. Quickly crossing the street, Kitagawa finally reached the company, with his first few steps inside the bodyguard calling him.

 

“Kitagawa-san, this arrived for you.” It was a red envelop, probably the invitation card for tonight.

 

“Thank you.” Shortly bowing and taking the envelop, Yuu opened it, as he was making his way back to the small dance studio, the only place that he actually liked in the company, once inside, closing the door behind himself and quickly checking the small card. So fancy, as if he was going to some of these special events for the end of the year, yet he wasn’t.

A villain, huh? He was probably going to be remembered as the bad guy now, as that was the role they gave him – the villain in a historical drama. At least, the period, the drama was presenting, was one of his favorite ones – Edo Period. As a real addict to anything connected with History, Yuusuke instantly accepted the offer to play in such a drama, soon after though regretting his choice. Almost everybody who was in the cast was either from the most famous actors or actresses, or someone that was making their debut through the drama. Yet even the newbies seemed more confident than him. Because they were promoted well and they already had some “name”, due to making some CFs, or just something that was able to make them get popular enough.

 

On the other hand, Yuu has just recently started his model career. One year ago, was it, he was randomly stopped on the street and offered to be the face of one cosmetic company, that turning to be his golden chance. Many companies started contacting him after his face was on a few rail station posters, as a way to promote the products. He wasn’t really confident before about modeling at all, due to him being barely around 173cm. Yet, after all it turned out that his face was doing its work and compensating for anything else.

Maybe that’s why he got called to play in such a drama after all, because Mr. Seizawa was one of the most famous movie directors nowadays.

 

After taking one last look at the small card, Yuu just took his jacket off, checking the time – 1:30PM; he had some time to relax with dancing before he would head home and get ready. Running his fingers through his slightly longer hair, he started the music and got himself ready, soon after his body already moving with the rhythm of the music. Yeah, he could do it. Maybe, this supporting role wouldn’t be that bad after all. Maybe he should just once again, try to be positive and let himself enjoy the role. A villain, that was for sure gonna be a new challenge for him.

Standing in one of the flower shops at a popular street, his eyes were scanning each and every piece carefully as if he was looking for the perfect piece of art. The employees were nervously looking into his direction while helping the few customers who came to pick up their order. Then, he pointed towards a modern and eye-catching piece that was standing in the corner, it almost seemed like it was radiating once the sunrays gently caressed the petals. Its aura was classy and passionate. Consisting of white lily’s, sugar tip hibiscus syriacus and apple blossoms. The bride insisted on pink flowers and since there was a combination of two pink colours, it couldn’t be more perfect for her. Picking the piece with him after he paid for it, he made his way back to the venue where the bride to be was waiting for him.

 

Within fifteen minutes, he arrived at the building and with a polite smile, he showed her the example of the bouquet which made her eyes twinkle. Her fiancé arrived just after and approved of it as well as it was indeed a beauty to look at. If her dress wasn’t going to be more eye-catching the flowers could even steal the show while they were there. The thought made him chuckle lightly, almost unnoticeable before composing himself again. Sitting down at the round table as they waited for the next part of the small meeting they were having which was the cake flavour they wanted to have as well as the design. Having been acknowledged as one of the best in the country when it came to cake decoration, this was indeed a piece of… cake.

 

There were quite some flavours to choose from such as: lemon cake with zesty lemon buttercream and lemon curd; maple and pecan cake with a crunchy pecan praline and maple buttercream; white chocolate and raspberry cake with a white chocolate ganache and crunchy honeycomb buttercream; traditional fruit cake with homemade candied fruits, Pedro Ximenex soaked raisins and Irish whiskey almond paste; Callebaut chocolate cake with a chocolate, rum and toasted hazelnut praline mousse; … Tasting was indeed the most enjoyable part as he saw the smiles on their faces, the baker was glad with the praise as well. Even though he was one of the best wedding cake boutiques around, it was still not to be reaffirmed of it. Yuuto knew that feeling too as it was nice to receive a ‘thank you’ letter when the wedding was over.

 

Since their cake was going to be a four layer cake, they had almost no trouble with deciding the flavours as they split it so they could each have two favourites. Eventually they came to a conclusion: zesty lime cake with passion fruit curd and coconut milk buttercream; white chocolate and raspberry cake with a white chocolate ganache and crunchy honeycomb almond paste; vanilla bean cake with elderflower buttercream and gooseberry curd; and last but not least the stem ginger cake with a poached rhubarb and rose geranium buttercream. The baker scribbled down everything she had to before going onto the next part which was the decoration.

 

As they explained their vision, he noted that they wanted a classy cake with not too much going on. Making a design on his laptop as he took everything in what they felt like putting on there which wasn’t too much. These were his favourite types of clients as they didn’t nag too much and had a decent idea of what they wanted to achieve with all of this and didn’t come falling from the sky, looking at him with a dumb expression on their face.

 

With that, he turned his laptop around so they could see the realistic version of his sketch, which made them look in amazement. A four layered cake decorated with flowers and a golden layer for one flavour. Golden edible leaves and the flowers were made out of chocolate in a pink colour, just as she liked it. With that, their meeting came to an end. It was already way later than he expected it to be, the sun was already under and the lights were on. Huffing as he adjusted his bag as he started to make his way back to his house.

[Bloodysadist]

Way too taken into the rhythm of the music, Yuusuke didn’t even realize when it was already past 4PM. With a small curse coming past his lips, the young boy quickly took his upper shirt and T-shirt off, putting on fresh ones, as the previous ones were put back in his bag, putting his long jacket on, along with the bag over his shoulder, before to check if he didn’t forget anything, checking the invitation card into his pocket as well, he nodded his head and turned off the lights, before to exit the room.

 

As soon as he was out of the building, Yuu headed to the small parking area, where his car was at, taking out his keys and unlocking it, just to throw himself inside, buckling himself and starting the engine, as the radio started as well. Everybody was already talking about the upcoming drama, as it was supposed to be a big hit – what a pain in the ass. It wasn’t like he was not content that the TV show he was about to start filming was already that popular, yet knowing that he wasn’t really the reason for the popularity of it wasn’t really bringing much of joy.

 

Anyways, he was going to do his best, that was for sure. As he started driving back home, Yuu shooed away the bad thoughts once again, not taking him much of time, as he reached the small building, where his apartment was. The black haired male parked the car, walked out, taking his stuff and locking the car, before to rush slightly to the building, quickly reaching the third floor, where his little sweet home was being, unlocking the door and kicking off his shoes, leaving his bag on the floor and hanging his jacket, quickly taking the dirty clothes from the bag, while making his way to the bathroom.

 

Taking himself quite some time for the shower, after like one hour, he was already done with it, making sure to check himself in the mirror, before to wrap one towel around his body. He had to seriously work more on his abs. They were visible, yet not as much as he wanted them to be. But he was just so not in the mood to deal with body building and work out right now. Mm, he was surely gonna start soon though, maybe. With a small whiny sigh to be heard, Yuu walked off the bathroom and headed to his own room, his first stop being to grab the hairdresser.

 

Making sure that his hair was dry, after like fifteen minutes, he turned the small machine off and headed to the closet, taking a bit of a longer glance over all the clothes. Official clothes were needed… but how he didn’t like the idea of putting on a suit, but he had to. Reaching out his hand, Yuu grabbed his black suit in the end, along with white a little bit fancier shirt that was perfectly fitting over his body, highlighting his figure.

 

He was done, at least with dressing up. A fresh pair of black boxers, the shirt and the black underlining pants and lastly adding the waistcoat. Applying a bit of make-up, along with fixing his hair a little, he was finally fully done. Looking at himself in the mirror, the young male smiled lightly. Maybe after all he wasn’t that bad. Maybe tonight was not going to be that bad. Adding one white watch on his left hand, taking his phone and wallet, along with the invitation card and his car keys, Yuu headed back to the small corridor around the front door, putting on a little bit more official shoes and his long coat, the phone, card and wallet leaving inside one of its pockets, looking once again around, then just opening the door and locking it behind himself. He was ready for tonight. He was ready to go and shine in there, to make some new friendships; that was what he wished to do.

 

Taking him around half an hour to reach the hotel, the dinner was being held at, Yuusuke parked the car and got out of it, making sure to lock it and head to the entrance, as soon as he made the first few steps inside, a few reporters turning around and taking photos of him. Yeah, one thing he was about to forget – photos were about to be taken a lot tonight. As Kitagawa made a few more steps to the hall, the dinner was at, one guy stopped him, asking for the invitation card and a name.

 

“Kitagawa Yuusuke.” Checking the list and taking the card, the young male let him get inside, smiling and bowing at him, as he also took his coat to hang it somewhere, while Yuu stepped inside. Almost everybody has arrived already, except for the movie director. Actors, make-up artists, sponsors and managers were all inside, all gazes turning to his direction, as if some real celebrity has entered in.

 

“Yuusukr-san, good evening. I am glad to see you here already. Please, come, join us.” The main actor in the drama – Yamaguchi Ryunosuke spoke with a gentle smile on his face. Maybe that was really going to be a good night.

[Z3N]

Once he was home, he changed into different clothes for the evening as he didn’t feel like lingering around without anything to do. He guessed he would just look for some inspiration while walking around outside. Sometimes it would result into good things but could also go back home with empty hands or ideas. A double edged sword but it was nice to pass some time. Especially on days like these where he just craved for something to do, to move around instead of laying down on the couch and watching the television. Plus most of the time there wasn’t anything interesting on the tv so even more of a reason to go out.

 

Deciding to go in all black. Wearing a dark grey shirt, skinny jeans, combat boots and a biker jacket to go with it. Tying his hair loosely so it wouldn’t get in his way too much while walking around. Checking for one last time in the mirror before going out. Taking his motorcycle as the place he wanted to go to was a bit too far on foot. It was a pity but he didn’t want to exhaust himself either to the point where he would have to crawl back home. Talk about embarrassing. Putting on his helmet before starting the motor, speeding off through the streets while making sure he didn’t cross the speed limit. It was harder to do as he just liked the thrill of driving around on his motorcycle, having a sense of freedom that couldn’t be described in just words.

 

It took about half an hour before he arrived at his destination. Surprisingly, he got called out by someone he had worked with before. A groom that was now a husband. He smiled towards the person and walked towards him, greeting the man politely. Starting to talk about some silly things that the married life brought with it, giving some advice whenever he could so the man knew when to apologize or not. Suggesting to go do something adventurous as they had been holed up in their home for too long. The husband immediately taking note of it, thinking of going to go rock climbing when the weather was good enough for it.

 

Eventually they went into a small café which had a hipster kind of feel to it, especially the relaxed atmosphere hanging around it was something he liked the most about it. The furniture was rustic and comfortable so he didn’t need to complain about his butt hurting for sitting down a longer period of time. Taking their time while ordering their food. Yuuto took the Sashimi salad while Shintaro took the katsu don, both taking a beer as that tasted the best this time of the day. Sake was more for the evening in Yuuto’s opinion.

[Bloodysadist]

Yuusuke stepped closer, bowing all politely to his seniors and some juniors. Everybody seemed to be talking about their careers and stuff, so he just decided to listen to them, as he couldn’t really join them in the conversation, yet suddenly, while one of the girls was talking about her recent role, she looked at him, smiling all gently like, yet he could sense it, she was going to say something he wouldn’t like.

 

“Talking about my drama, Kitagawa-san, weren’t you playing the ghost in the first episode? Hahaha, I barely recognized you, since back then you looked so different with that creepy make-up!” She let out a small laugh, as everybody joined her, yet one person wasn’t really laughing at all – Yuusuke.

 

“But at least they had a handsome ghost, don’t you think, Yuri? Yuusuke-san looks pretty good.” Another girl added, as she smiled lightly at his direction, the young male on the other hand bowing slightly to her. At least one person was not trying to make fun of him.

 

“Talking about that, Yuu, weren’t you supposed to debut with Sunshine? They are quite popular right now, right? What a lose that you couldn’t make it.” The second main male actor spoke again, pretty much opening that one wound, Yuu was trying to close for all these years. With a small sigh, he raised his gaze and looked up at the taller male, smiling with his most threatening smile, even if it looked more like a normal one.

 

“At least I am doing perfectly fine, modeling for a few of the most famous companies nowadays. So I don’t think that it was such a lose, as you’ve said, Sato-san.” Everybody nodded in agreement, as the older male slightly clenched his teeth, yet nodded his head as well. His attempt to make Yuusuke look like a complete loser in front of the others was not successful. He knew the guy from before actually. They met in a few auditions for some dramas, yet Sato was always the one to be chosen for a bigger role or even the main role, while Yuu was barely taking any screen time. Yet once, Yuusuke managed to snatch away a modeling offer from the other guy, as he had been working for the company, being their face for almost a year then, so maybe that was the reason Sato to not like him. Not that it mattered. Yet for them to meet like that, it was surely a pain in the ass.

 

“I am glad that I will be working with you guys, though. Every one of you has such an unique character, so I think my drama is gonna be very successful.” From behind, Mr. Yuichiro has spoken, making everybody turn around, smiling gently. That guy surely had such a different aura. Everything around him was like on another level. As everybody greeted him, the waiter came with a few glasses of red wine, letting everybody take one.

 

“Kitagawa-san, I am glad you made it here.” Seizawa spoke as he came closer to Yuusuke, raising his glass for cheers and slightly knocking it with his own one, before to take a sip of it.

 

“I couldn’t miss it, since Mr. Seizawa, himself, invited me.” Yuu answered and bowed his head, as the older male chuckled and patted his shoulder.

 

“Good, good. I want to keep on seeing you around, boy. I chose you for a reason after all. Let’s work well together, alright?” With these words, Yuichiro raised his glass once again, smiling at the younger boy and making his way to the others.

 

He was chosen for a reason? He wasn’t quite sure what that meant. Finishing his glass of wine, Yuusuke left it back to the waiter, as he decided that he needed some fresh air, even though maybe just a hour or so has passed, the craving for cigarettes speaking up as well, due to the stress that was more or less pressuring him, as he excused himself and walked to the door, he came from, asking for his coat and saying that he’d be back, putting on the cloth and quickly leaving the place.

 

As he checked his pockets though, he realized that his cigarettes were missing, hissing and sighing as he looked around. There was a small shop three blocks from where he was, so he just took his way down to the place, soon enough reaching it and entering inside.

 

“Marlboro Silver, please, along with a lighter.” Giving his order, he paid and walked out of the shop, realizing it’d be better to smoke a little bit far away from the hotel, he leaned against the wall of some small café, taking out one cigarette and lighting it. In front of him there were a few motorcycles parked, as some rockers just passed through him as well, entering the café. Quite curious about the place, he took a small glance at it through the window, nodding his head. It looked like a nice place. With a small smile on his face, he turned his gaze back forwards, yet lifted it up to the sky, as he inhaled and exhaled from the cigarette. Only if some miracle could happen in his life, it’d be perfect. Hahaha, a miracle? Yeah, he was going crazy. Such things didn’t exist. As if to believe that he could return back in the time, or that a falling start would grant his wish. Miracles and supernatural things like that didn’t exist, as the tales say.

[Z3N]

Yuuto didn’t dislike the company of a human for once, as it was a rare thing for him these days as humans were full of deceit. He couldn’t trust them as he knew all too well what they were capable of. And they even dared to say that creatures like himself were the monsters while they were killing their own species to their hearts content. Sometimes he really wondered if they were being serious or just pretending to be dumb, getting to know that they were both. Some knew how evil they could be while others were oblivious about this side. It was irritating to see the second option as he couldn’t tell them the truth about humans as they would just look at him as if he escaped a mental hospital.

 

If it hadn’t been for this one human who killed and saved him at the same time, he wouldn’t be here anymore as he would’ve completely given up on this world. Yuuto knew what the man was going through, the decision he had to make, deciding upon who he wanted to leave behind. It was the right choice to get rid of Yuuto as he himself said so in the first place. He couldn’t force the other to choose him as he knew the man had a family on his own and it would be the work of the devil if he came in between them just so he could live on with his friend.

 

His thoughts came back to Earth though when Shintaro started talking about the play that he heard was going to be made which went about a kitsune. The more the human started talking, the more astonished Yuuto became as it was almost the complete same as his past but with several mistakes in it. As if he was pulled into the story, the memories came with it. His expressions changing depending on what scene was being told even though there weren’t many that were known yet, he couldn’t help but feel attracted to it. It was a part of him they wanted to re-enact. Something that was called a myth by the people in this country. If he was right, there were even children stories made about kitsunes. They were both good and bad, depending on how it was told and how the author thought of his species. It told a lot about their personality.

 

Eventually, their plates and glasses were empty. Also their conversation came to an end which made them call it a day, paying for the food before saying their goodbyes to each other. Shintaro went ahead first, Yuuto followed a bit after as he wanted to go to the bathroom first just in case.

 

Once outside, he took a turn to the right and accidentally bumped into someone as he wasn’t paying attention for a minute to his surroundings. Grabbing the other’s arm so the person wouldn’t drop to the ground. “Sorry, didn’t see you there…” He apologized, bowing in front of the other as it wasn’t his intention in the first place. “I’m usually not this clumsy.” He muttered under his breath.

[Bloodysadist]

Yuusuke finished his first cigarette, yet considering to have another one, he just threw the first one in the small place made for the smokers, taking the second cigarette out of the box and lighting it. It was quite nice to just stay and think about almost nothing in a night like that. He has become to love it more and more, as he happened to be attending such events quite often now.

 

While thinking about it, the story he was going to film has once again crossed his mind. A kitsune and a noble girl fall in love, was it? Was that even possible during the Edo Period? As he was…well…close to a “freak” when it was coming to History, especially Japanese one, he went through a few libraries just to check every single book he could find about it, yet all that was popping out were myths. Of course, it was impossible to actually be a part of the History itself. Well, he was fine with that. Even though that idiot Sato was going to play the noble man, whom he was working for… It was bearable.

 

As Yuu was inhaling and exhaling from the cigarette though, people started coming out from the small café, making him move a little to the side, at times slightly lowering his head, maybe out of habit, not that anybody was going to recognize him, yet he had to be careful after all. As Japan was very strict when it was coming to smoking, the least he wanted to get involved in was a scandal about him smoking.

 

Recently one friend of his got caught in a club, drunk and pretty much flirting some girls, so he had to stop his activities for a few months, which sucked. Like, they were adults now, allowed to do as they please, yet it seemed that being a killer might have became less sinful then smoking or drinking. Yeah, this world was going absolutely wrong, so only if it was possible, he’d for sure go back in time, either it be Edo Period or even before that, so that at least things like that wouldn’t bother him at all.

 

As if sucked down in his own world, as he pushed himself slightly from the wall, Kitagawa felt someone bumping in him, making him lose his balance and almost drop the cigarette, yet managing to keep it between his fingers, as the other person on the other hand has stopped him from falling. He raised his gaze, just to see a slightly taller male, probably around his age standing in front of him, casual clothes, even more, looking like the rockers from before as a style, yet it suited his white hair perfectly. He wasn’t someone to get taken a back by somebody’s visuals that easily, but the guy in front of him looked and was handsome.

 

“Ah, no, please don’t worry about it. I want to apologize for not looking where I was turning to as well.” Bowing his head all politely, Yuusuke smiled lightly, his hand that was still holding the cigarette being waved to show it was fine. “I probably startled you, staying here like that. Please forgive me for being on the way.” Feeling like a little kid apologizing as well, Yuu ended up just rubbing the back of his neck kind of embarrassed, letting out a small chuckle, as he looked around, spotting the same one place for cigarettes, pointing at it. “I… am going to throw it away, is that alright?” Why was he even asking? Aah, he was out of his mind. Yep, that was it. He had to take a hold of himself, but that was turning more impossible, as soon as he heard his phone ringing. Damn it, they were searching for him… he had to hurry back to the hotel.

[Z3N]

As the other apologized as well, he thought that this guy might actually be a nice person. Quite a change from the average human being who would get angry for bumping into them. A nice change indeed. He smiled lightly into the male’s direction before letting him throw away the cigarette he was holding between his fingers. The smoke reminded him of the old times where people didn’t care about it as much as now. It was actually almost a habit for most of the inhabitants of the town he was residing in during that part of his life. It was only a small matter and it was their own body so he couldn’t get why it was looked down upon now. Society just became more fucked up with time, that much he knew through experience.

 

As he heard the phone of the mail ringing and saw the urgency in the other guy’s behaviour, he somehow felt a little bad about the situation. Perhaps because he had distracted the male by running into him. He twirled a lock of his hair between his fingers as he watched the human with his ruby red eyes, almost piercing right through him. However, he didn’t show any kind of hostility as one might have expected by the way he dressed when he was not working. A lot of people thought he was just a punk with good looks. It was strangely popular with the younger crowd and the more he talked to more mature ones, they started to take a liking to him. Not that he wanted that to happen, it just did. Well, it wasn’t odd as society was fixated on beauty and not personality. Talk about odd.

 

“Do you have to be somewhere? I can drive you there in a sec.” He asked, pointing towards his motorcycle that was standing right in front of them. A triumph rocket III Roadster was standing proudly, even Yuuto was really happy with the purchase as he thought it was one of the best things he did in his life and that meant quite something due to the years he had been walking around Earth. Centuries even. “What do you think?” He said, already walking towards the vehicle, picking up the helmet that he was going to give to the male instead. After all, he wouldn’t get hurt if he got into an accident to his fast regeneration. It had happened before so he knew he wouldn’t die easily.

Yuusuke bowed his head once again, quickly throwing the cigarette and picking up the phone, as the call was from one of the girls from earlier. He had the habit to apologize a lot, as he was learnt that being polite is one of the most important qualities of the people. He knew that there were many rude brats, especially nowadays and let’s not mention the ones who were around his branch. Actors, who had zero tolerance towards the elders, trainees that had no idea what are they doing, but just thinking that being famous was something easy and would bring you lots of money. That was and one of the many reasons, many people thought that Yuu was too severe and cold, as he didn't like such kinds of people.

 

“Yah, Yuusuke-san! Where are you? Mr. Mr. Seizawa is looking for you. Come back quickly.” The young male wrinkled his forehead, a small sigh coming out, as he looked up at the male standing in front of him, making him a sign to wait for a moment.

 

“I just needed some fresh air. I am coming back, okay?” He didn’t even wait for the girl to keep on scolding him, as he just ended the call, clearing his throat and turning around to look at the person waiting for him.

 

“Eh? Are you sure about it, sir? I mean… I don’t want to bother you and its just… three blocks from here…” He really didn’t want to bother the other male, because he was feeling guilty, himself, for being so not in this world today, yet as the white haired guy walked to his motorcycle, Yuu couldn’t help it, but stare at it quite amazed. He has always liked motorcycles, yet didn’t buy one yet, due to the car being more comfortable for him, but he had promised himself that one day, he’d have one… if he had enough of money, of course. Because money were his biggest problem right now, along with his own career.

 

It took him a few seconds to think about the idea once again, yet ended up, just grabbing the hamlet, as he stepped closer, yet once again, realizing the other male had no hamlet for himself, he gave it back, shaking his head.

 

“I can without one… its close by, so I will survive, but you need to put it on, sir. It’s cold tonight, plus it’s dangerous to be without a hamlet…” It was true, it was getting colder. Many hated it at night, when the weather was being windy and cold, but for Kitagawa it was perfect. For some reason, even though feeling the coldness, he enjoyed it – unlike the summer – his most hateful part of the year.

[Z3N]

Yuuto grinned as the male seemed to have taken an interest in his motorcycle. It was a stunning beauty after all so he couldn’t say anything about it. It was one of the reasons why he bought this exact piece. It spoke to him in a way no human ever could. In a world like this, that was pretty special. His heart started thumping faster the first time he started, the sounds of a roaring animal could be heard, the trembling that got through his whole body before speeding off for a good time. He’d never forget that moment.

 

Patting the seat on his motor as the male was reluctant about getting on, especially when he was given the helmet. Chuckling as the other refused to wear it while he was just a mere human. Then again, the boy probably didn’t know about his true nature as it wasn’t known in this world, not anymore. Tossing the helmet between his hands as he looked at the man in front of him. Stepping closer and putting the thing on with a smirk on his face.

 

“I don’t want a stranger to get injured on my watch. Plus, I’m sure you’ll need it way more than I do.” He responded, clicking the helmet so it wouldn’t budge before getting onto the vehicle. “So no more complaining and get on or do you want to get another call from that woman?” He commented, gesturing towards the phone that was now in the other’s pocket. He didn’t really mind driving off with someone he didn’t know, he just took it so that the man could experience the joy of riding on a motorcycle. The freedom that it gave to the owner as they could take off whenever they wanted to without strings attached. He could disappear for days before coming back, switching his phone off so that nobody could contact him. He did it before and some of his fellow wedding planners almost went crazy since he didn’t say anything to them. They even called the cops one time. It was quite the sight.

 

The moment the other got on, he sped off towards the direction he was told. Passing several shops he went to for his clients in the past few days, some people had recognized him when they were closing down, waving as he drove by them. The cold breeze that went through his clothes was almost making it feel like he was flying. His body temperature however stayed the same despite the cold, it was something he was born with. Not even his parents had it as they had to dress with how the weather was. Yuuto just remained to have the same body heat unless he got sick, that would probably be the only time when his temperature would drop or rise.

 

Within a few minutes, they arrived at the restaurant, seeing someone standing outside as if they were waiting for the kid behind him. However to his surprise, he recognized the man’s face. “Seizawa-san? It’s been a while. I’ve heard that you’re going to do a new play. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?” He asked with a small pout. This person was one of the few he actually got along with well, having helped each other out in times of need. Slapping the director on his back before grinning mischievously.

[Bloodysadist]

He was unable to even react on time, when the helmet was put over his head, throwing a small surprised glance up at the other male. His eyes… was it his imagination only, or they were indeed red? Could that be contact lens? But then again, he, himself, was often wearing blue lens, yet these red ones… they looked way too natural. No, he was just imagining it. It must have been contact lens. If he wouldn’t forget, he was going to ask the other male were did he get them from! Another thing he had to note about the male in front of him though was that smirk he had. Damn it, could someone actually look so devilishly attracting wearing a smirk like that? For god’s sake, Yuusuke was like a kid in front of him. Like, literally, for a mere moment he even felt like he was treated as one. Well, he couldn’t help it though. Right now he probably looked like a teen that ran from an arranged marriage or something.

 

With a small sigh, he bowed his head all thankful once again, deciding not to disagree any more, as he just took a seat over the motorcycle, yet making a small face about the last question. “She won’t call me again… Plus I wasn’t even gone for that long…” – As he mumbled under his nose, without realizing it, Yuu just puffed his cheeks. It indeed felt different then his car, though, sitting on the motorcycle. The chills, the adrenaline that was about to be felt, even if for a minute or two, he liked it. Maybe that was one of the less good things tonight. At least here nobody knew him, neither anybody was commenting about who he was and what he did. He was just a mere human… a mere guy, enjoying the small freedom – just as when he was dancing, the feeling, it was the same.

 

Yuu parted his lips to introduce himself, yet as the motorcycle was started, he just smiled and rested his palms over the other’s shoulders. He felt so warm despite the fact that it was so cold outside. Was it even possible to be this heated in such a weather? Well, but then again, human’s body could be so complicated, so he wasn’t that surprised. As the helmet was protecting him from the wind hitting against it, Kitagawa just closed his eyes, an all rested smile popping over his face. When was the last time he could just smile, like that? Without a reason or anything, but just for the moment? He wasn’t sure himself. It’s been a long time since then though and he knew it. Maybe after all, what he needed the most right now was to rest his mind and stop being so negative about the whole world.

It seemed that many people knew that guy though. Many greeted him as he passed by with the motorcycle, making Yuusuke wonder what kind of a guy he was.

 

Soon enough, both were already in front of the hotel, yet there was someone outside…right? As he took the helmet off and got off the vesicle, he widened his eyes, staring at the male in front of them in disbelief. Yet, before to have the chance to speak up anything in his defense, the white haired guy spoke in such a friendly manner that it made Yuu get even more confused.

 

“And if that isn’t Yuuto!? It’s been a long time since a spoke to you boy! Oh? So you heard about it? Aah, the news about this drama are flying around so quickly. I guess that many are gonna except to see it soon, as it is going.” Seizawa stepped closer and patted the other male’s shoulder, such a big smile plastered over his face, that Yuusuke felt bad for even saying a thing.

 

“I see that you brought him back? Thank you! I was so worried that he ran away.” Saying that Seizawa looked at Kitagawa, walking towards to him, as he grabbed him by the hand and dragged him back to the white haired male, smiling like a proud father, which only made Yuu turn his head to the side, embarrassed.

 

“This is Kitagawa Yuusuke – one of the actors who is going to play in the drama. Thank you for taking care of him.” With these words, Yuichiro bowed his head, Yuu instantly following and bowing his head as well, feeling quite uncomfortable though to be introduced like that.

 

“N-Nice to meet you… I suppose.” With a small awkward chuckle coming out, the young boy raised his head, reaching out his hand for a handshake, while Seizawa was patting his back slightly.

 

“Why don’t you join us inside, Yuuto? If you aren’t busy, you can stop by.” Yuusuke threw an all surprised glance at the movie director, unsure of what was really going on, but knowing one thing for sure – he wanted to just run away, for real now.

[Z3N]

“Hah… So he was a runaway of some sort.” He commented, laughing a little as he thought it was funny for a grown-up to act like that. Though he had run away before too despite being so old so he couldn’t actually complain about it too much. The confused expression on the younger guy his face was amusing to see so he decided to keep quiet for just a little bit longer. Perhaps he could see some more interesting expressions to keep him busy. Maybe he could even see the other cry in the end though that’d be bothersome as there would be other people around.

 

At the mentioning of the kid being an actor, he raised an eyebrow as he didn’t recognize him. But he didn’t know a lot of actors in the first place so it wasn’t a big shocker if he forgot a face. The proud smile on Seizawa’s face though made him feel like the kid wasn’t all too bad. Just way too… apologetic? Could anyone even be like that? He just decided that it was and left it there to avoid any headaches. “No problem, I just bumped into him on my way out of a café. Seems like I was lucky enough that he was in your play.” Yuuto responded with a gentle smile.

 

Bowing lightly in return as the other two did so as well. Shaking the boy’s hand firmly yet made sure to not put too much force into his grasp. The offer of going inside made him almost unable to reject as it was an old friend he was talking about here. Agreeing as he didn’t want to be a mood killer and followed behind Seizawa. Eyeing the younger one with a mischievous glance in his eyes. He didn’t think that a guy like him would be an actor due to his insecurity around people. Almost as if he was a scared kitty that didn’t know where to go.

 

Once inside of the restaurant he was greeted by unfamiliar faces, not even being the slightest bit interested in them as they were the usual human being. Seizawa had introduced him as an old friend, having met through the agency Yuuto was working in. Seizawa was about to get married and their wedding planner had to close its business due to the lack of money and that’s when he found Yuuto. It was a race against time but the wedding became a true eyecatcher, even making the headlines of a newspaper. It was one of Yuuto’s biggest successes and he liked working with the other so that was all the better. They had been friends since that day on.

 

Taking a seat next to the director as he was the only one he actually knew, ordering a drink now that he was there. He’d better enjoy it than to fret about all the minor stuff and get home. He didn’t have anyone waiting for him anyway. It seemed like he was popular with both males and females as they kept asking him questions both about his work and his private life, only giving away the basic stuff which didn’t contain a lot of information. After all, it wasn’t their business in the first place.

[Bloodysadist]

He wasn’t running away… why was everybody making it seem like he was some scared kid? Well, yeah, he wanted to get some fresh air, as he felt it way too pressuring inside, yet that wasn’t exactly to be called running, right? But once again, Yuusuke wasn’t really good at saying whatever he was actually thinking, so he just let it slip away, like everything else. It was no wonder when the other didn’t know about him though, seeing his face, as the younger boy’s name was mentioned. How would he? He wasn’t even a bit famous as an actor, yet what kept on bothering him was the way that Seizawa was seeing him. As if, he was a golden card that the director found. He didn’t really feel like that. Yet, he had to admit – having someone to see him that way was nice.

 

Shaking back the other’s hand, he gave the taller male another smile, before to take it back, as he was about to ask about the other male’s name though, hearing Seizawa’s offer. He was sure that the older male called him Yuuto… but why was this name so familiar to him? He was sure that he has heard it somewhere.

 

Finally, the three of them entered inside. As soon as Yuri spotted Yuusuke entering, she almost ran to him, grabbing him by the hand, her face showing how worried she was.

“Where have you been, silly? You know how worried you made me feel?” Wait, wait, wait! Was there reason to be worried at all? Like come on, they weren’t that close, even though he enjoyed her company way better then half of the people in the hall. But even so, she was making it sound like he was lost somewhere… and wouldn’t be back.

 

“I am sorry, okay? But you shouldn’t even mind me being out. I wouldn’t run away… not today.” Whispering the last few words, he smiled at her, taking back his hand and giving a small reassuring pat over her shoulder, as he spotted her blushing slightly. Yep, maybe she was too drunk already or… it was hot inside? But she had to be told… or to be aware of the fact that Yuu was not interested in anybody, right? She better knew it, since he didn’t want to hurt her. She was too nice to suffer because of him.

 

“Hey, Yuri-san, I have a question. Do you know the guy sitting next to Seizawa-san?” At his question, the older woman looked over to the direction of the director, widening her eyes and nodding her head instantly. “Of course I do. He is a very famous wedding planner! He even took care of Seizawa-san’ s wedding! His name… I am pretty sure it was Kanezane Yuuto.” That’s right! Now he has remembered where has he heard that name! He has read a few articles in the newspapers about him, plus one of the directors of one of the companies he was modeling for went to that guy to arrange his wedding not a long time ago. Everybody was saying that this male was a real expert in his work.

 

Yuuto and Seizawa looked like close friends as well. They were talking together, talking with others… it must have been nice to be this communicative. At times, Yuu wished he could be the same, even with the people he did not like. Talking about that, as he was standing a little bit further from both older males, Sato approached him, as if he didn’t have enough of tonight.

 

“I heard that you tried to run away, but was brought back? Is it that scary to stand next to so many famous actors, Yuu-chan?” Aah, he hated that guy. He hated the way he was speaking to him and he detested the way he was calling him. Yuu-chan? Clenching his fist, Yuusuke looked up at the taller male, as he grabbed one glass of champagne from the passing waiter, tilting his head to the side, while holding the glass tightly and slightly higher then the usual.

 

 

“First, I am sorry to disappoint you, but I didn’t run away. Second, I am the least scared to be standing around “famous” actors like you. And third, don’t you ever dare calling me Yuu-chan again. You are million years behind of having any right to be using such a friendly name for me, Sato-san.” Yeah, he wasn’t usually speaking out his mind and he hated it, but he couldn’t help it this time. He knew that the other would be very pissed off by the words given and would probably try to make a scene, as he also grabbed a glass of champagne, seeming to be ready to pour it over Yuusuke, yet in the exact same moment, Seizawa Yuichiro spoke and made him stop.

 

“Everbody, come here. Let’s have a toast. For us, our old friends, the people whom we love and the success of every single one of you from now on.” These words made Kitagawa actually smile, as he made his way to the older male, for a moment meeting Yuuto’s gaze and raising his glass at him, bowing his head with another gentle smile plastered over his face. He was pissed off at Sato, yet he should’ve kept his cool, be nice and try to enjoy the night for a little bit more. That was probably his goal right now.

[Z3N]

Yuuto started talking with Seizawa as it had been a while since he saw the man after all. If he was right it was now just a bit over six months due to their jobs being quite chaotic. At a certain point he almost didn’t have a chance to sleep due to clients streaming in. It was a nice weather and the headline of him having organized another major wedding was one of the pointers which made the people come to him. He actually had to hand some of the people over to his colleagues after reassuring they did just as nice a job as he did. He wasn’t lying as they were pretty good in this field and they got along well so they called each other whenever they didn’t know something. Even Yuuto still did so if the shops he went to were closed or bankrupt. It was nice to have contacts in a world like this.

 

The play did come up, confirming that it indeed went about a kitsune in the Edo period which was awfully familiar to him. Well, it was his past that they were talking about so he couldn’t go over it so lightly. Hearing the scenes he had planned out made Yuuto correct the other inside his head whenever he heard a mistake. First of all he wasn’t being attacked by the rich kid’s samurai because of jealousy, it was out of protection for his family. Also there was indeed a small fight between him and other swordfighters but he didn’t kill any of them as it wasn’t in his nature to do so. Not when they were forced to do what they did. Only if he was truly threatened, he wouldn’t have hesitated to kill.

 

The people around him started talking to him as well as they admired his work. It was different from what they did but he caught some plans here and there. One of them was actually engaged and had been looking for a wedding planner all this time and now that she had the chance to meet Yuuto, she immediately asked for his contact details. He gave her his business card so he could be called or send an e-mail to at any time. It was a lot calmer now since most of the weddings had past. Only having one left which was almost finished so it was nice timing to have another project coming up. The lady was a fan of light colours, pastel which was way easier to combine that bright and vibrant colours as they could easily overwhelm the venue.

 

Afterwards, Seizawa stood up from his seat to bring out a toast. Catching the gaze of the kid called Yuusuke if he remembered correctly. Raising an eyebrow but felt a small change in the other’s aura. A more tense one. He wondered how it came to that, though he had a small guess as he had seen him bickering with someone else just a moment before. Unconsciously licking his lips as he kept on staring towards the kid. Somehow his scent was sweet, different from others. Sweet like cake with a hint of flowers.

 

As everybody started to move around, having a talk as they had been seated for too long, Yuuto moved into Yuuzuke’s direction until he was right in front of the other. As if the smell was luring him in, he moved his head closer so it was just next to the other’s face. “Hmmm… So it’s just your body scent.” He whispered in the boy’s ear. “Smells good.” His red eyes almost seemed to glow up as he pulled back slowly. “Yuuto… Stop smelling people already.” Seizawa said, grabbing Yuuto by the collar which made him chuckle lightly. “I can’t help it.” He responded amusedly, his eyes however almost piercing through Yuuzuke, not letting him out of his sight until he got punched in the side. Making him whimper in response, laughing it off however as it wasn’t a hit with full strength. “Someday I’ll really sue you, Seizawa…” He said jokingly.

[Bloodysadist]

Once he was close enough to Seizawa and the others, Yuusuke raised his glass up, nodding and the few added words from the movie director, before to take a sip of the alcohol. How much he liked the taste of that liquid! It wasn’t his favorite type of alcohol, yet it was good enough to give him the small chills. When was the first time he even drank…he wasn’t sure himself. Maybe it was right after he entered university? The stress from his trainee years was saying its word, so both the drinking and smoking habit followed one after another. His parents tried to stop him, yet couldn’t. They actually tried to stop him from a lot of things, but maybe that was just giving the opposite result, as in the end, Yuu has become even more independent then before.

 

As the crowd of actors gathered around Seizawa, he decided to step back, not really finding it necessary to be pushing himself to get some attention from the older male, as he took another sip of his drink, looking around. The place wasn’t all that bad, as he gave it another careful look. Doing that, he spotted Yuri standing a little bit further as well, talking with another girl that was probably from the staff, meeting her gaze, raising his glass and smiling.

 

As he looked back around though, wondering were did the white haired male go, he felt a familiar presence very close to himself, raising his gaze just to find the other guy’s face on his side, that only giving him a sudden shudder. The glass he was holding slipped off his hand and fell on the floor, the small among of champagne being wasted on the carpet, as Yuusuke almost jumped back, staring all surprised at the male in front of him.

 

“W-What was that for? If… you are that interested in the perfume I use, you could’ve asked me, Yuuto-san.” His heart was pounding all fast against his chest, not even sure what has just happened, everybody staring at his direction due to the noise from the glass, seeing Seizawa though, instantly bowing his head.

 

Smelling people? Well, yeah people had different bad habits, but… that was just too sudden and surprising. Tilting his head to the side all confused, he pointed at Yuuto, while looking at the Yuichiro. “So, that’s a habit of his?” He asked as if not having the answer already, one hand running over his nape and letting out a small embarrassed chuckle. “I am sorry for the mess and the reaction, Yuuto-san.” With these words, Kitagawa bowed his head, hearing a small chuckle coming out from Seizawa, stopping his gaze though on his own black pants for a moment, seeing them being slightly wet from the glass that fell down. With a small sigh he smiled once again at everybody and quickly headed to the restroom, not that he thought any dirty spot was about to be left, yet wanting to make sure and at least try to dry it.

[Z3N]

Yuuto smirked as he saw the interesting expression on Yuuzuke’s face, wanting to see more of them. Could he? He didn’t care as long as he would achieve his goal. He tilted his head to the side as he saw the stain on the other’s pants, luckily it was just champagne so it wasn’t too visible for anyone to see unless they came closer. The glass that fell on the ground and broke even pulled the attention of others which was a bit annoying. Some just kept on staring towards the three as if they were putting up an act or something. If they could just mind their own business, things wouldn’t have to get complicated. How annoying.

 

Licking his lips unconsciously as he watched the younger male running off like that, earning another whack on the back of his head from Seizawa who didn’t approve of his behaviour. Well, the kid was indeed a bit of an outsider on this party and it perhaps asked a lot of effort to stay in this suffocating room with the tension hanging around in the air. Especially since they were supposed to be famous and wanted to show their best side to each other to make them feel on edge. It was an odd thing to do but he didn’t ask anything about it as he guessed that this was how show business worked in the end. He knew that partially due to the stories of Seizawa in his younger years when it was still tough. But now that he was recognized as one of the best in this field, he had less worries on his head as long as the production went nicely. And mostly that was the case.

 

Excusing himself as he went after Yuuzuke, seeing him running off to the bathroom. Seeing the male standing there near the sink, he smiled apologetically towards the other, yet his eyes showed otherwise. “You want some help with that? It’s the least I could do for shocking you like that, especially since you didn’t know about my habit…” He said, walking closer in a slow pace before taking a clean cloth out of the pocket of his jeans, letting some water pour over it so it was a bit wet. After that, he kneeled down in front of the other with a smirk on his face. “Now try not to get hard on me or it’d be hard to explain if someone came inside.” He commented as he started to rub the cloth on the pants, starting to remove the stain bit by bit. Lucky the other’s pants was a darker colour so it wasn’t that visible yet. “Though I wouldn’t mind if you did.” He commented teasingly as he looked up from where he was.

 

Brushing a strand of his hair behind his ear as he resumed to wipe the cloth, there was still the smell of alcohol but that was the least of his worries at that time. “This almost looks like the beginning of a porn movie.” He commented with a chuckle. “We only need a shocked guy coming in the bathroom who’ll run away at sight.” The mere thought was amusing to him.

[Bloodysadist]

Making his way to the bathroom, he just realized how hard it was to breathe in that room, every time he was entering and exiting it. He wasn’t usually having any problems with being on public places, neither on such expensive ones. That wasn’t the case. Just the fact that all these eyes were as if testing him? He didn’t like that. And having Sato there was not helping as well. He couldn’t get it what exactly was the reason for him to act like that? Just a mere jealousy? He was dumb then. Well, not that Yuu hasn’t heard enough of spicy things about the other male, yet nothing was confirmed and he was an excellent actor, so people couldn’t unlike him. Hr had to really admit that the other had some amazing talent, when it was coming to acting.

 

As he was deep in his thoughts once again, almost bumping into the door, he opened it and entered inside, just about to turn the water on, yet hearing a familiar voice from behind staring up at the mirror, just to see Yuuto also coming in. What was he even doing here? That apologetic smile… was he feeling guilty or something? He was sure that the smile and the words sounded so sincere, so he let the other help him.

 

“I am sorry for troubling you like that, sir… And thank y-…” pausing after he heard the last words, Kitagawa’s face, unfortunately for him, turned all red, making him tilt his head to the side. He wanted to hit that guy badly. God, he was so ready to do it! Yuusuke tried to part his lips to say something, to defend himself and to put the other guy on his place, yet another bunch of embarrassing words followed, only making the boy hiss and hit the sink slightly. He couldn’t even meet the other’s gaze. Seriously, what was it with tonight? Meeting a guy like him… on top of that he couldn’t really say much, as he was Seizawa’s friend, which made it twice as bad.

 

“M-Mind you own business and pray for nobody to come…” The first few words, even though stuttering them, came out, as the younger boy took a deep breath, managing to calm down at last, as Yuuto was at the end of cleaning the small spot over his pants as well. “A porn? If you don’t wanna get hit, even though you are Seizawa’s friend, don’t say stuff like th-…” Just as he was about to finish his words, Yuusuke heard some steps headed towards the bathroom, widening his eyes and grabbing the other’s hand shaking head and stopping him from whatever he was still finishing over his pants, dragging him to the first toilet cabin, closest to them and locking the door behind himself, as two guys entered the restroom a second after.

 

“I wonder where did Kitagawa go?” One of the guys said, while washing his hands.

 

“Maybe he ran away for real, after being embarrassed like that.” The other commented, letting out a small chuckle.

 

“Well, but don’t you think he overdid it? Maybe he wanted to drag the attention to himself?” The conversation continued, while Yuusuke was clearly hearing them gossiping behind his back.

 

“A mere model like him, who couldn’t even be called a real actor? He doesn’t have the guts to do it.” With these words, both walked out of the toilets, with only Yuuto and Yuusuke left inside again.

[Z3N]

Laughing silently as he heard the comeback from the other, this guy was surely amusing. Easy to tease too, perhaps a bit too easy. He didn’t mind. The struggling the kid had with his words made it even more rewarding as if he was getting satisfied just by making the male angry by his words and actions. Just as he was about to respond about the porn matter, he was suddenly grabbed by the hand, making him almost lose balance as he was pulled into one of the toilet cabins. Blinking a couple of times as he didn’t know what caused the other to act this way but as soon as he heard the footsteps entering the bathroom, he kind of got what was going on.

 

Plopping down on the toilet, making sure it was closed first or it would’ve been quite embarrassing. Listening to what the people on the other side of the door were saying. The way they talked about someone in such a manner pissed him off, especially since the kid hadn’t done anything wrong. He was a new actor, he knew that from Seizawa so why was he even targeted like that? Were they afraid of his talent or was it something else that made them act like that. Anyway their attitude was one of the worst, the jealousy could almost be felt just by saying in a close proximity. His eyes looked through the keyhole so he could see them through the mirror, locking their faces in his mind for later on. After all, Yuuto’s reputation was something that was almost undefeatable, he had a free pass for most of the people. Mainly because he had good looks and was nice to the people he came across. Well, Yuuzuke was one of the exceptions as well as Seizawa.

 

Standing up once the two guy left the room, pressing his body against the back of the male. Laying his head on the kid’s shoulder. Their height difference wasn’t that big so he didn’t need to bow down as much. “You’re putting up with that crap?” He asked the other, an almost threatening undertone could be heard in his voice. His hands wrapping around the other his waist, his breath probably touching the male’s ear as he kept that position for a few seconds. “Also, don’t you think you need to be more wary in my presence? I’m known as a dangerous person too you see. You can ask Seizawa about it if you’re curious.” He commented, his voice lower than normal before he let go of the human again, unlocking the cabin door so he could get out.

 

He didn’t lie about him being dangerous. Not because he was different than the normal human being but because of what he had done in his past out of boredom. He wasn’t exactly an angel, even Seizawa knew about that. He even tried to get the man into his bed but was severely scolded about his lifestyle, the one thing the man didn’t like was to be pushed into corners without his permission. Plus, he wasn’t into men either. Well, he didn’t force anyone before but he did break hearts. A lot of them as he couldn’t commit himself to someone as he didn’t particularly feel love for them. He merely craved for pleasure at that time, something to keep his mind distracted when he didn’t have anything to do.

 

“Your pants is drying up quickly so you can get out when you’ve cooled down. I’ll be heading out first.” He commented and made his way back to the hall where the people were still talking to each other. Being pulled into conversation by a few girls and a male as they were interested in his work and his previous projects. Especially the themed ones he did such as Alice in Wonderland.

[Bloodysadist]

The whole time Yuusuke was having his back turned to the other male, not even caring about whom these people were. He was so used to be underestimated like that, that he was already uninterested in their gossips. Yeah, it was still making him feel bad, yeah he wanted to go out and hit them, shout it in their faces that he was worth it just like anybody else, yet what was he going to win with that? Unless he got any popularity into the acting industry, these words were going to be just empty ones, with no proof standing behind them.

 

Once the two males left, Yuu was just about to open the door, when he felt two strong arms locking him into a tight embrace, that making him freeze on place. What was the other actually doing? He was probably insane, right? Hahaha, he must have been, yep. Yet, even if he was insane, the warmth his body was having, for one small part of the second, calmed down Kitagawa, as if warming his heart? No, that was just his imagination. He shouldn’t even feel anything for such a guy like him and by anything, he literally meant any emotion.

 

“You won’t understand it, even if I try to explain it to you, so just pretend that nothing happened.” It was true. How could he basically explain it that he didn’t want to mind people that he couldn’t win against yet? Maybe he was at the fault as well, for not saying how he felt, yet that’s how he was. He couldn’t change it and was it even worth it changing that? Would it bring him money, popularity, main role, respect? No, non of these. People like the ones that left were always going to exist and be like that to others as well. If not him, it would be another new actor, or another idol, or just anybody. That’s how the world nowadays was. That’s why he wanted to silently climb to the top – that was his only purpose right now.

 

“I will keep that in mind from now on.” With these words, he felt the warmth leaving him and the male actually walking out of the cabin.

 

“Thank you for the help after all, Yuuto-san.” Watching the other leaving the restroom, Yuusuke leaned against the wall in the toilet cabin, running his fingers through his hair, as he let out a small ironical chuckle. At times he really wondered if he was that miserable? He wasn’t like that before… before he became a trainee. Taking a deep breath, the young male pushed himself off the wall, yet just to spot the small cloth, Yuuto has just cleaned his pants with. Yuu took it from the floor, slightly cleaning it from the dirtiness and putting it inside his coat’s pocket.

 

He totally forgot to leave it back when he came back, but it wasn’t like it mattered. He was going to just wash the dirty cloth and after that he was going to give it to Seizawa, to return it to the male. Or maybe he should be the one to do it? If he could find him… because he wasn’t from these people to believe they’d meet again.

 

After few more minutes, he finally came back to the others, Yuri and two more girls approaching him. “Are you alright, Yuusuke-san?” One of the girls asked, smiling at him. He nodded his head and looked around, spotting Yuuto talking with some people again. He was sure popular among others, he had to admit that.

 

“Yuusuke-san, are you single?” All of sudden the other girl asked, as Yuri threw her a small glare, making Yuu let out a small all amused laugh. It was a long time since anybody asked him that. “I am.” Simple as that, the three girls seemed way too happy, as a few more people joined them, curious about the conversation that was being held. Somehow, in the end, Kitagawa was able to communicate with some of the staff and the actors, yet he’d lie if he had said that at times he wasn't throwing small glances towards Yuuto. Something in him was making the boy be both way wary and scared around him, yet also this tempting feeling to get to know the other better was also growing bigger, even if he wanted to deny it the best he could.

[Z3N]

Being surrounded by this many people, he started to grow a bit impatient as they kept on asking questions, mostly about his private life now. He sighed deeply after a while as he started to get annoyed and then decided to just say the truth. His voice a bit louder than what it should have been which was exactly his purpose. “Yes, I’ve had lovers before. No, I’m not seeing anybody right now. I’m not completely straight, I’m bisexual, meaning I can do it with both genders. Satisfied now?” He said, shocking the people around him as they didn’t expect him to act that way. Not saying it so loud that was. Seizawa heard the commotion and merely chuckled as he knew what was going on. Yuuto got irritated which made him become a bit more aggressive towards his surroundings as a cat whose tail got stepped on.

 

Groaning as he started moving away from the group, catching one of Yuusuke’s glances towards him, making him smirk. However he then got stopped by one of the people who was previously in the bathroom, badmouthing the kid as if there was no tomorrow. Finally something who he could turn his irritation to. Turning towards the male, grabbing the guy’s chin close to him, his lips ghosting over his. “Don’t make me angry.” He whispered towards the human whose face became as red as a tomato due to the lack of distance between them. He then jerked away from the human and walked over to Seizawa, glancing in just a blink of the eye towards Yuusuke but didn’t say anything towards the male as he didn’t want the other to get into trouble by his own actions.

 

“Haaah… Gatherings like these are exhausting.” He complained to the director, who merely patted Yuuto’s back in return. “Well, they’re a feisty bunch so I saw it coming when you joined. Odd enough, they don’t seem to actually dislike you but peeked their interest instead.” The man said, gesturing towards the people, some having pinkish cheeks due to what they have witnessed, some girls even seemed to be fangirling in the back as they had caught some male on male action. Talk about strange interests.

 

Yuuto plopped down on his chair again, downing two glasses of alcohol after each other as he just wanted to hurry up and go home but knew Seizawa wouldn’t let him due to the chaos he had caused just now. Maybe it was because he already had some glasses of alcohol down from the café but it seemed to actually start working now. Unbuttoning his grey shirt a little as it was too hot in his opinion, his tail was loose from the ride on his motorcycle. More and more gazes went towards him the more relaxed he became, forgetting about all the disturbances called humans. Leaning back on his chair, sliding down a little so he was sitting just right. If he could, he would just take a nap then and there.

[Bloodysadist]

As the conversation was getting more and more interesting, Yuusuke nearly jumped up by the sudden raise of Yuuto’s voice, feeling like a scared puppy, as he instantly turned his gaze to the other male. He was for sure brave to admit such a thing. That guy was impressive in some ways. Well, not that Yuu was anyhow different though. He had been with both boys and girls in the past, even though only dating girls until now. But everything finished quickly, due to every single one of these people being not enough smart for him. There was always something annoying in his lovers. So in the end he gave up. Why bothering to be in a relationship, when he could do his work pretty well with his hand and enjoy his time without actually needing sex on the first place? Yep, that was way better.

 

Turning back around to the crowd of people, they began their conversation once again, yet another thing happened, making Kitagawa just go and hit Yuuto for real. Why would he mess like that… wait, could it be… no, he wasn’t sure whom the guys in the restroom were, but yeah, if not anything, the guy that got all red just now was from the ones who weren’t really sympathizing Yuu, so he wouldn’t be surprised. Yet, why was it necessary for the white haired male to act like that? He really couldn’t understand him.

 

At least after that everything got back to normal, people getting to their usual talks, as the ones around him though had to comment about what has just happened.

“That guy surely has the guts to do such a thing. Its kinda scary.” One guy commented, making Yuu raise his brow. “Scary? More like silly. Yet, it’s his own decision to do it. I am sure that the other male provoked him somehow as well.” Saying that, the girls stared at him for a moment, before to see everybody agreeing on his statement, smiling and taking a deep breath. It was time for him to go. Some had already left, so he was sure that it wasn’t a problem to do so.

 

As he said a few last words to the people around him, he waved his hand and walked to Seizawa, smiling warmly to the older male, seeing Yuuto like that, next to him, making him let out a small chuckle.

 

“Seizawa-san, if you’d excuse me, I’m going to go.” Seeing the older male nodding his head, he saw him getting up and even giving him a small hug, patting his shoulder and then looking at the other guy next to him.

 

“Yuuto, would you like to send him off? You can go as well after that.” Hearing Yuichiro’s words, Kitagawa widened his eyes, staring at the older male all surprised, shaking his head and waving his hands instantly.

 

“Ahahaha, no, no, no. There is no need for that, sir. I will just go by myself. My car is parked close by, so its going to be fine.” Quickly saying that, Yuu turned around and headed to the exit, not even wanting to imagine Yuuto sending him off. Like why the hell would that be needed on the first place? He wasn’t a five years old kid! Yep, he should just hurry up and reach his car quickly. Seizawa would forgive him, he should have.

 

Thinking about that, Yuusuke was finally out of the hotel, looking around to check where the parking was. It was quite dark though, he had to admit. Maybe it was around midnight? He wasn’t sure, but he just wanted to go home as soon as possible.

[Z3N]

As he heard what Seizawa said to Yuusuke, he chuckled as he knew what the other’s answer would be already. And just as he guessed, he was flat out rejected. Not that it bothered him, it actually made the kid more interesting. An odd human. He yawned and stretched out his arms, making a snapping side, almost as if he was breaking his bones. Luckily that never happened when he did so or he would be in trouble. Serious trouble as he had to explain why his body was functioning the way it was if he got send to the hospital. Especially with his body temperature which was always around 38 to 39 degrees Celsius which meant fever for a human but normal for him. The times that he did get a fever it would be around 42. It’d disappear within two days though.

 

Getting up from his seat, looking around in a daze before deciding to get out of there as well. It had been enough for a day and he just wanted to get home now. This much human contact was a bit too overwhelming for him especially since he wasn’t prepared for it in the first place. The alcohol already started to make its way out of his system. He wasn’t that drunk anyway so he’d sober up within a couple of minutes the moment he would stop drinking alcohol in that pace. Saying his goodbye to Seizawa before stepping out, taking in the fresh air.

 

Honestly, being outside was so much better than to be stuffed in a room. He’d be fine with one that had huge windows though as he would still be able to enjoy what was going on outside. But then as if his luck stopped working, raindrops started falling from the sky. First with a few and then light rain that kept on falling down. It was refreshing, standing there out in the open, closing his eyes for a moment with his face pointed upwards.

 

As he opened them however, he made his way to his motorcycle and saw the kid from before wandering around. Guessing that the other didn’t want to have anything to do with him for the moment, he decided to just leave him be. Starting his motor, a low growl escaping from the machine as if it was a beast from the mountains. Holding up his hand as he passed by Yuusuke before driving off to his home. His vision was back to normal nor did he feel much side effects from the alcohol anymore.

 

It took about half an hour before he got home, the rain having cooled off his head. Jumping into the shower once he set foot home and then cleaned up the water he left behind due to his soaking wet clothes. His apartment was… empty. There was no other word for it. It was nice on days when it was tough while on other days, he missed some company. Those where the days when he went out and found someone to spend the night with. It was a bad habit and he had tried to fix it which he did eventually. His flings became less, maybe once every now and then.

 

Contemplating to just watch some tv or go to bed, he chose the latter as he had to get up early again. Crawling in there, his tails and ears popping out as nobody could see him anyway at that moment before falling asleep.

[Bloodysadist]

It started raining, which surprised him. Unfortunately for Yuusuke, he couldn’t find his car as soon as he wished he’d be able to, as many of them were parked around already. It wasn’t that his car was something that specific, yet he liked it the way it was. As he was looking around though, he saw a motorcycle passing by him, jumping back and staring blankly at the vehicle fading away in an instant. He had to ask the other guy for a visit card. Well, he was going to find him anyways somehow, so that he’d be able to return the small cloth. Now he had to hurry and find his car quickly, else he’d be all soaked, which would mean that he’d also get sick and he didn’t want that.

 

It took him one-two more minutes, before he finally spotted where his car was parked at, running to it and unlocking it, as he instantly took his coat off, throwing it on the passenger’s seat, before to start the engine and drive off to his apartment. After a little bit more then half a hour, he finally reached his place, parking the car and turning off the engine, as he grabbed his coat, not even putting it on, but just quickly getting off the car and locking it, as he ran to the entrance, getting inside and going to his floor, unlocking his apartment by entering the secure code for the door, once it was opened, getting inside and locking the door behind himself, taking off his shoes, heading to his room, just to leave the wet coat over the chair, before to hurry to the bathroom, taking off the wet clothes and leaving them in the small basket. He had to wash them soon, yet for sure it was not going to be tonight.

 

After taking a hot shower to warm his body and wash himself, Yuusuke walked back to his room, putting on a pair of fresh boxers and one over-sized shirt, before to throw himself on the bed. What he needed now was a big among of sleep and he knew it. It didn’t even take him that long as well, as he almost instantly fell asleep.

 

What he forgot though, was that he had a meeting in the morning with the CEO of his company. Hearing his phone ringing quite annoyingly for the last twenty minutes, he finally picked up, even if he didn’t have his eyes opened well yet.

 

“Mm, good morning…” With the lowest and sleepiest voice, Yuu managed to speak the words up, yet hearing the shouting from the other side, he jumped up, instantly looking around all panicked. “DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IS IT, IDIOT??? BRING YOUR ASS HERE QUICKLY! The boss is gonna come any moment!” Damn it! He totally forgot about the meeting! Saying that he’d be there soon, Kitagawa jumped off the bed, running to the bathroom just to wash his face and teeth quickly, before to run back to the room, grabbing the first pair of light skinny jeans he found, along with one singlet and black sweater over it, putting on one of his snapbacks, grabbing his bag and sport jacket, along with his phone and the keys for the car, putting one pair of black sneakers and running out of the building.

 

The young boy just jumped into the car, throwing the jacket and the bag on the passenger’s seat, buckling himself up and starting the car. Thanks god, he managed to reach the company in around twenty minutes, parking and literally running through the entrance, as he was about to take the elevator, seeing his boss coming as well, sighing in relief. At least he wasn’t there after him.

 

“Good morning, Fukuya-san.” He bowed all politely, giving a polite smile to the older male, as the other greeted him as well, both entering the elevator and heading to the meeting. Thanks god that his friend, one of the trainees of the company called him in the morning to wake him up. It wasn’t like Fukuya would be that angry or anything, but still, he didn’t like it when people were late… and Yuusuke was almost always late, somehow.

[Z3N]

Yuuto slowly opened his eyes, looking at the hour on his clock which indicated that it already was around 9am. As he didn’t have any appointments for the day, he decided to just take it easy. Shuffling through his bedroom as he made his way to the kitchen where he prepared himself some breakfast. Having enough food in the fridge due to one of his colleagues who came over the day before as the man couldn’t bear to see the almost empty fridge anymore. Yuuto didn’t exactly mind to have received all kinds of ingredients that he could use, he returned the favour though by sending him a present through mail as he was too lazy to bring it to the man itself. Receiving a thank you message in return.

 

Preparing himself a more healthy breakfast as he felt like it now that he had the time for it. Consisting of white rice, natto [fermented beans], a fried egg, cold tofu and miso soup. It took about thirty minutes before he finished everything, even the soup was filling the house with its smell. It actually felt cosy this time. Switching on the television so he had something to do while eating his breakfast in a relaxed manner, he hadn’t even bothered changing out of his pyjamas either as he was comfortable the way he was right now.

 

Once everything was finished, he cleaned his stuff up before actually taking a shower for longer than five minutes. His tails were out too so he could wash them as well. Cleaning every cranny of his body so it was almost shining before getting out of the bathroom in fresh clothes. Wearing nothing more than some ripped jeans, a white loose shirt and black sneakers. Making a dot from his hair before walking out of the apartment building.

 

Wondering what he would do as he got on his motor again, driving around without an exact destination in mind until he decided to just stop somewhere random, locking his vehicle so it wouldn’t be stolen. It seemed like he was in a small shopping street that was popular with the younger crowd. An event was going on as well from the looks of it, some kind of competition between males? Out of curiosity he went closer and stood in the crowd, watching what was going to happen now.

 

With a bit of disappointment he realized they were just introducing the new faces of some kind of product, he didn’t care enough to listen to all of it as he was already turning his back to look for something more amusing. A hand stopped him as he was grabbed by the arm. A petite woman with glistening eyes looked up at him as if she had found money on the street.

 

“You! You’d be perfect to pose for our next product ! It’s a perfume which fits your appearance perfectly…” Without even giving his full consent, she started rambling on about the shooting and what a major attraction it would be. Meaning that they would lure in a lot of males to buy the product because their girlfriends would think that the commercial was so cool. He knew their tricks already but if it meant earning something with just standing there, he wasn’t entirely against it either.

 

Eventually, he agreed to her, exchanging contact information with each other so they would stay in touch, partially to make sure he wouldn’t just run away from them. After that the girls went back to their company with their newest success of scouting Yuuto, it seemed like they didn’t recognize his name yet as they were too occupied with his face.

[Bloodysadist]

The small meeting went smoothly, as the CEO wanted to announce the debut of one of the girl trainees as a solo singer. Yuusuke was happy for her, since he knew how talented she was, so she was finally going to be recognized and loved by many. After a few more words and saying his last words, the meeting was closed, some people coming to congratulate both the girl, but also Yuu for his new role, even though it wasn’t something that new. The CEO also said a few encouraging words to him, before to let him leave.

 

The plan the young boy thought about, was staying in the dance studio the whole day, enjoying his small freedom and clearing his mind. Of course, that didn’t happen, as he got called by one of the agencies he was working for as a model, to help them with some new product. Of course, as it was some extra money for him, he agreed instantly, quickly leaving the company and going in his car, as he drove off to the small place, he had to be at.

 

As soon as he arrived, he parked the car near by the company, the girl that called him waiting for him outside already. She bowed her head and greeted him, as she seemed so happy that he was there.

 

“Thank you for coming, Yuu. You are really saving us. Just participate in the photo shooting today.” Since he didn’t have much work anyways, he agreed, following her to the elevator, as they entered inside, her starting to explain how they found another person to promote their newest product as well. These people were surely quick, when it was coming to this. He was amazed at times by that, but well, they were often taking random handsome guys or beautiful in their eyes - girls, to promote their products, so it wasn’t something new.

 

As both stepped out of the elevator, she leaded him to one of the rooms, telling him that she’d be back shortly with clothes and a make-up artist for him, leaving Kitagawa enter by himself. He opened the door, used to this already, sitting down on one of the chairs and leaving his jacket aside, as he looked around, smiling lightly.

 

He wouldn't lie if he'd said that he didn't like modeling. It was an enjoyable work most of the time and he was being paid well for that. Plus it wasn't even that difficult. He was also getting quite tempting promotions of different companies, free products and clothes, as well as other gifts.

 

Today was probably not gonna be any different. Even if it was a small photoshoot, he'd gladly do it and just rest for the rest of the day. Closing his eyes for a moment, he didn't even realize when the girl was back with everything needed, yet seeing her face becoming somehow worried, tilting his head to the side.

 

"What's wrong?" He asked, seeing her sighing and shaking her head. "The other male model got sick and we can't find anybody to replace him." Well, that was a problem now. What could they do? He could try to call some of the guys from his company, but he wasn't even sure if they'd come, due to the practices.

 

"First it was Asaya, that's why I called you and now is Kimura." With a small sigh, the girl messed his hair, not sure what to do. "What if you call that new guy you told me about?" Seeing her face instantly changing to a happier one, she ran to Yuu and hugged him tightly, nodding her head, thanking him and instantly calling the other male.
