~An Extra Smidgen of Action~

by elenity

Toshiya entered the room, crawled onto his chair and looked around him. Shinya, Kyo, Kaoru, Die and Yoshiki. No new faces around. He sighed and closed his eyes, trying to imagine how would he react whenever he got to meet new people. They had already been in USA with Yoshiki for 3 months, and there was still more time before they could even start to think about going back to Japan.

It was not that he didn’t like his mates –in fact, he really liked them, they were his best friends (his only friends, he realized), and he always had a great time with them. But he needed new things in his life. He couldn’t remember when he had been more bored than in that moment… he needed action!

He looked to the right corner of the studio and watched as Shinya and Die discussed some problem with Yoshiki. Shinya’s red hair almost hurt his eyes, so he centered on Die. He looked as if he had been swimming the whole night in a swimmingpool full of wine: wine hair, wine clothes, wine everything.

Humming around with some sheets of paper was Kyo. He was surely trying out a new song. He wondered why his bandmates had such a terrible taste for choosing hair colors. Well, not all of them.

Kaoru was standing alone, back against the wall, his dark blue hair hiding his face. They both had almost the same colour.

Suddenly, kaoru’s cellular phone rang. He blinked at the sound the phone call made, and then laughed. He knew Kaoru’s phone could play midis, but he had never imagined it would ever play THAT midi…

"Would you please just answer that fuxxin’ phone and stop blushin like that?", Yoshiki screamed over the laughs that filled the atmosphere of the studio. Then he lowered his voice to keep on chatting with Die and Shinya, but Toshiya was still able to listen to his words. "How on earth did he had the guts to put Doraemon’s midi in that machine?"

Toshiya wiped away the tears in his eyes while he made an effort to stop laughing, otherwise he’d fell to the floor and he didn’t want that in front of Yoshiki. Once achieved, he frowned and tried to listen to Kaoru’s conversation.

"No, I’m not doing anything this evening", he was saying. "Yeah, sure. Ok then. See you at 8 o’clock. Where?", he hesitated for a moment and looked to the ceiling. "What about that park we saw the other day? What was its name?" The conversation paused for a moment in which Toshiya’s intense stare caught Kaoru’s, but this quickly looked elsewhere. "Ah, you’re right. Then see you at the Palm Garden at 8, ok?". Kaoru was about to hang the phone, but the person on the other side said something and he frowned. "What’s so important? You can’t tell me now? Why?", he lowered his voice, "You’re such a strange girl… See, I also have something to tell you. Important? No, no… well… ne, see you".

He put the phone in his pocket again and headed for the place where Yoshiki, Shinya and Die were now looking at the last SHOXX issue. They all muffled a laugh as he approached. Kaoru rolled his eyes, grabbed another magazine and walked to the other corner of the room. As he passed next to him, their hands touched for an instant. When Kaoru finally sat comfortably on the floor and opened the magazine, he eyed Toshiya again with an unfathomable expression. The blue haired guitarist felt a smile coming out at the corner of his mouth. "Kaoru’s dating a chick", he thought to himself, "Well well". Something was taking shape in his head, and it would at least give him a little smidgen of action…

**************

Toshiya peered from behind the tree where he was hiding in the Palm Garden. Nobody around. He looked at his watch and saw it was almost 8 o’clock, but there was no sight of Kaoru or his girl.

He leaned backwards and rested his back against the tree. His eyes fixed in his boots and was a worm trying to reach the peak. "You little nothing, where do you think you are going?". He ducked and took the animal in his hand. At first, it didn’t move, but then regained self-confidence and started creeping around his hand with slow movements. Toshiya found so interesting the hide-and-seek game the worm was playing with his fingers that he didn’t notice Kaoru had arrived until he heard him humming Doraemon’s melody. His eyes opened wide and he stood up, leaving the animal to play with the grass instead his fingers.

Kaoru patted at his black silky shirt trying in vain to get all the wrinkles out. Toshiya bit his lower lip and waited for his girl to come. Time seemed to stand still until a joyful scream could be listened: "Kaoru!!! I’m here!".

A few seconds after, a small dark-haired girl appeared and stopped her running just in front of Kaoru. Toshiya felt his muscles tense and he waited for an opportunity… no, he was waiting for THE opportunity, and he was sure it was not going to take too long.

"You are late, as always", Kaoru mocked the girl.

"Oh, don’t talk like that", she replied back, "I’m sure you just arrived". She raised a hand and pointed to Kaoru’s forehead with her forefinger. "Now, tell me what do you had to tell me".

"No, no", Kaoru said, "you first, Susan".

"I’m always the first", she smiled shyly, "so today it is your turn now". She hold her breath, hoping he would finally tell her what he had been about to say so many times. They had been going out for some time now, it was time to make things more _formal_.

"Weeeell, ok". He put one of his hands in his pant pocket and searched for something. "What I wanted to tell you is that… Susa, listen", his faced turned serious and Susan closed her eyes. "What would you think about…"

"…Kaoru being gay?"

Kaoru and Susan looked to each other in astonishment, then blinked a few times, and finally turned their heads to face the blue haired guy who was about to jump over Kaoru.

"Wha~ aaah!", Kaoru screamed as Toshiya fell upon him and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Susan almost fainted. She grabbed the unknown’s arm and stared at him, her expression blank. "Could you repeat what you just said?"

"’Course! He’s gay. He’s my lover, he didn’t tell you?", he smiled evilly but his eyes had an innocent look as he talked to her. "He has always been so shy, my poor Kaoru…" He looked at the sky with a dreamy expression, as if remembering something *shy* Kaoru had sometime told –or even made!- to him.

"Toshiya!!", Kaoru cried. He looked at Susan for help, but all he got was her blank stare.

"So you are gay?", Susan asked with weak voice. "Why didn’t you tell me?"

"I said he’s shy", Toshiya answered for Kaouru and hugged him closer, the other man too shocked to struggle or even react.

"Susan!", Kaoru finally managed to say, "I’m not g~~ hmmmph!!!". Toshiya’s lips cut his words. Susan’s jaw dropped almost to the floor.

Kaoru pulled Toshiya away and grabbed Susan’s shoulders. "Hey, Susan, don’t believe this cramp. The truth is that…"

"You’re gay", she stated. "That’s the truth, isn’t it?". Contrary to what Kaoru and Toshiya had thought, she started laughing somewhat hystherically. "That’s the point!! I had been wondering why you never asked me for a formal dating, I thought you didn’t like something about me or I had done something wrong", her eyes were now shining, "And, to be honest, I worried you never tried to screw me up because I was ugly or something!", she stepped forward and shaked poor freaked out Kaoru by his shoulders. "Now I see it was just that you are gay! So simple!", she left him go and clasped hands. "I feel so relieved!!"

Now was Kaoru’s time to feel his jaw dropping to the floor.

"OK, my darling", Susan said, "Just have fun and call me later. We’ll go have a drink or something and so you can tell me about all these things I just discovered you never told me about. See you. I’m sure you will enjoy this evening!!", she smiled broadly at the thought, and with this words she turned around and left them, happily walking towards the bus stop.

"Su~ Susan…", Kaoru’s voice was weak as he looked at her back.

Toshiya blinked to regain control over his shocked senses. He had not expected the girl to react in *that* way, but… oh well, that left things easier for him. A grin formed in his lips and he threw his arms around Kaoru’s neck, his mouth dangerously approaching the other man’s ear. "Mmmm, Kaoru?"

The person in question turned his head and faced the grinning guitarist. He arched his eyebrows and was about to say something when a hand slipped down his back to rest in his pants. "Toshiya!"

"Huh?", he purred, huddling closer.

"I…", a shiver ran down his spine as Toshiya’s lips brushed against his left earlobe, "You… I mean…"

Toshiya drifted his attention to Kaoru’s cheek, then caressed his skin until he got to his lips. This time Kaoru didn’t pull him away, so he deepened the kiss. The body between his arms shivered.

"Ne, Kaoru-chan…"

"Uh?", the other man asked, still trying to recover from what had just happened with Susan.

"Susan was right.", Toshiya whispered.

"UH?", Kaoru said in a louder tone as the hand in his pants tightened his grasp.

"You ARE going to enjoy this evening…"
