When Gackt woke up he was welcomed with the view of Hyde's crotch, which was sporting a morning erection. He blinked a few times trying to figure out just how he got to where he was, and figured that he must have just slipped onto his side in his sleep. He was rather horrified at the thought that Hyde would wake up to a similar view considering that his cock was also half hard. His, however, was not just a morning erection.

He quickly untangled himself from Hyde and attempted to stand up only to flop back down realizing just how hung-over he was.

�Damn, it's been a while since I�ve had that much to drink. Shit, I need something.� Gackt rubbed his temples trying to get his headache to go away.

He remembered that there was Advil in the cabinet in the downstairs bathroom, so he stood up, slowly this time, and walked down the hall. The trip seemed to take twice as long as usual, but that was probably just his headache speaking.

When he got to the medicine cabinet next to the sink he had trouble finding the Advil, and he knocked a few containers onto the floor and into the sink before he found what he needed.

�Now I remember why I hate to sleep down here when I'm drunk. I can never find anything in here.�

After he took two, he looked up into the mirror. �Jesus, I look like crap. That's what I get, I guess.� Gackt noticed, even with his pounding headache, that he looked different than he had the day before. He could not pinpoint it, but something was definitely different.

Gackt decided that he was hungry and turned around to go get food, but instead bumped into Hyde.

�Good morning! How did you sleep?� Hyde seemed rather cheerful, considering how much he had drank the night before. Gackt wondered why Hyde was not as uncomfortable as he was.

�Fine, how about you? You want something for your head? I bet it's pounding.� Gackt held out the bottle of Advil.

�Sure, thanks,� Hyde grabbed the little bottle and swallowed two pills dry, � I slept pretty well, considering I was sleeping on your couch.�

�Well actually you slept on me�� Gackt said to himself, but thought that maybe he had said it out loud when he saw Hyde blush.

They stared at each other for a few minutes, and then Gackt broke the silence.

�I was about to get something to eat, you want something?� He put the pills away and turned back around to face Hyde.

�Yeah, okay, thanks! What are you having?� Hyde grinned and cocked his head to the side.

�I don't know actually... Why don't we go check?� Gackt smiled and they both walked to the kitchen.

After a few minutes of scrounging around they managed to scrape together a small American breakfast. While munching on toast and eggs, they ate in uncomfortable silence.

�So� ummm I should probably head home soon.� Hyde broke the silence with a regretful tone.

�You don't have to if you don't want to...� Crap, his mouth was running away from him again.

�What I meant to say was, I don't have anything to do today, and if you�re free you�re welcome to stay��

�Oh, sure, Thanks! Yeah, I think I'll stay around a little bit longer, if it's not a problem.� Hyde spoke in a kind of sad, hopeful voice.

�No, it's no problem,� Gackt tried to think of something to say, but all he could think of was too straightforward.

Awkward silence seemed to be a theme when they were together recently. They finished eating and put their dishes in the sink, all in silence.

Wandering aimlessly, they found themselves in front of Gackt's TV again. Hyde picked up the remote and began to channel surf like he had been doing the night before. There was nothing interesting on, like usual, but because things had suddenly become so awkward between them, there was nothing else that could be done. When the silence became too much for Gackt he decided that he was going to be the one to end it.

�Ummm, I'm going to go take a shower, you can use the bathroom down here if you want one, I have a huge water heater so you don't have to worry about taking up all the hot water.� With that he got up and went upstairs to take a shower.

When he bent over to turn on the water he noticed again that he felt different than he usually did. He was not closed off and detached from himself. After he had cleaned his body and washed his hair, he found himself thinking about the previous days events. Hyde had been so drunk that he could not distinguish reality from a movie, and being able to fall asleep on him because he was too tired to move. And then he remembered the view he was blessed with when he woke up.

As he thought about Hyde he felt himself getting hard again. He then realized that he had told Hyde that he could take a shower in his downstairs bathroom, and that entailed Hyde being naked. Just the thought of Hyde, naked, in Gackt's own house, made Gackt feel like he would explode.

Before he knew that he had done it, his hand was wrapped around his quickly hardening cock. As he began to slowly stroke himself he closed his eyes imagining his hand to be Hyde's instead. He tightened his grip and played his thumb over his head, morbidly wondering what Hyde's reaction would be if he found out that he was jacking off in the shower thinking about him. Sooner than he thought possible, he felt his orgasm start to build. Clenching and unclenching his jaw he moved his fist faster, trying to hold it off as long as possible. Finally he could not stop himself and with a loud groan he spilled his seed over his hand and the shower wall.

Still in a post orgasmic fog he did not notice that the door was open until someone began to walk through it. Quickly he washed off the evidence of his little adventure and tried to pull himself together.

�Gackt, sorry to barge in, I knocked but I guess you didn�t hear me. Anyway, do you, by any chance, have a hairdryer? I couldn't find one downstairs.� Gackt opened the door of the shower just enough to see that Hyde was standing not five feet from him in nothing but a towel. He felt life returning to his half hard cock, and just when he thought he had gotten it under control too.

�Oh� yeah, umm. There's one in the cabinet next to the sink, its black.� He could not seem to pull his eyes away from Hyde's body, and prayed that he was too busy to notice.

�Oh, okay. Thanks! Yeah, my hair gets scary if I don't dry it after I shower� its sort of funny actually, maybe you will get to see it some time,� He spoke idly as he looked for the blow dryer in the said cabinet, �Here it is. Thanks, I'll return it when I've finished.� With that Hyde disappeared out the door, leaving Gackt with another raging hard on.

�What am I going to do with you?� Gackt looked down at his cock that was staring him defiantly in the face, �You are driving me crazy, do you know that?�

After treating his cock to a few threats about what would happen if it did not behave its self, he turned the water all the way to cold and rinsed off.

He stepped out of the shower and walked over to his cabinet where he kept the towels, all the while hoping Hyde would not choose this moment to return the hair dryer. Luckily Hyde's hair had gotten longer and it seemed that now it took quite some time to get it to look nice, as apposed to his own which took hardly any time to style.

He wrapped the towel around his waist after giving his hair a good scrub. Still slightly damp he made his way downstairs to find Hyde. He was still using the rather noisy hair dryer so he was not too hard to find.

He found Hyde in the bathroom contorting his arm to try and reach the back of his head. The stance was so amusing all Gackt could do was watch. It took Hyde a few minutes to notice that Gackt was standing in the doorway, and when he did it was only because he had started laughing.

�Are you laughing at me?� He asked, though he already knew the answer.

�Yeah, you should see the poses you make trying to reach all of your hair!� Gackt had stopped laughing long enough to answer properly.

�I can see myself, I have to look in a mirror to see what I'm doing. I'll style it funny other wise.� With a pout Hyde returned his attention to drying his hair.

Once he had gotten over his laughing fit, Gackt realized that Hyde was still in nothing but a towel, which was riding VERY low on his hips. As soon as he felt certain body parts start to stir again, he stammered something about needing clothes and wanting the hairdryer when he got back, and left the bathroom as fast as he could. He ran upstairs and sat on the foot of his bed and stared at the wall.

�What am I going to do�� he thought to himself. �He fucking has a wife and child, and I can�t even be in the same room with him without�� as he trailed off his eyes moved from the wall to his now lumpy, towel clad lap.

After a few moments he stood up, having successfully willed away his erection. He walked toward his dresser and pulled out some clothes, not really caring if they matched. When he had one leg through the wrong pant leg, and his shirt half way on, he wandered over toward the mirror to just look at himself. He stepped really close and stuck out his tongue examining it thoroughly. Next he inspected his eyeballs, pulling his lids away with two fingers from his right hand. Finally he looked up his nose, but when he could not find any deformities he sat down on the floor with a plop.

�There has got to be something wrong with me� this is just ridiculous.� He thought out loud.

He looked at the mirror again and realized that he needed to finish getting dressed. He wiggled into his shirt and put his legs into the right holes. He didn't have any clean underwear, and although he didn't usually worry about not wearing any he hoped the lack of extra restraint around his crotch wouldn't pose a problem.

He took a deep breath and prepared himself for the man who awaited him downstairs. As he approached the bathroom he willed his body not to react when he saw Hyde again. When he reached the door jam he found Hyde still drying his hair, although in a much more normal pose this time.

�I'm almost done, you can have it back when I've finished.� Hyde regarded Gackt with a quick look over his shoulder. �You know I�ve always liked that shirt. By the way, do you think I could borrow some clothes? I don't really feel like wearing the same ones from yesterday��

�Yeah, sure. If you can find any that fit you, you can wear them, it's not a problem at all.� He clenched his jaw after he finished speaking and tried to keep himself from raking his eyes over Hyde's still mostly naked form.

Hyde put down the blow dryer and turned to Gackt, planning to give it to him, but instead burst out laughing.

�What? What's so funny?� Gackt was genuinely puzzled and quickly forgot his stressful mood.

Hyde could not contain himself, he was doubled over and had to use the sink for support. Gackt fidgeted impatiently as he waited for him to finish laughing. Finally, after what seemed like much too long, Hyde stood up straight and flatly said, �Your hair� and promptly shut his mouth for fear of laughing again.

�What about my hair?� He lifted his hands to his head and patted his hair lightly.

From what he could tell it was just wet and uncombed. He hadn't looked it all that carefully when he was examining himself in the mirror, but he couldn't remember there being anything in it that didn't belong. Hyde stepped away from the sink and pointed to the mirror. He took Hyde's place and when he looked in the mirror he turned a light shade of ping before laughing as well.

�I think you might want to fix those, but it's just a thought�� Hyde sentence trailed off in laughter again.

Gackt promptly grabbed a comb that was sitting on the sink and ran it under the tap before attacking his hair. He guessed that when we was in his room he must have run his hands through his hair and that caused it to stick up and form what looked like two horns on top of his head. He then proceeded to take the blow drier and tame his usually compliant hair.

After wresting with his hair for few minutes Hyde decided to speak up, �You want some help with that? I think it would go faster if I did it, it�s never good to style your hair when you are frustrated with it� you might end up doing something that you will regret.�

Gackt thought for a moment, reluctantly handed Hyde the comb and hair dryer and then straddled the toilet seat. He sat, rather grumpily with his arms folded over his chest while Hyde tried to tame his hair. Gackt was rocked side to side while Hyde pulled the comb through his hair and tried to style it in a fashion that looked normal to him.

When he had finished he prompted Gackt to stand up and look in the mirror to give his assessment of the new hairdo. Hyde shifted his weight back and forth between his feet while Gackt looked at himself in the mirror, making sure every hair was in place. After 5 minutes of watching Gackt obsess over his hair Hyde took a step forward and placed his hand on the top of Gackt's back.

�I think it looks fine, and its not like you are going to a concert, or even to a club anytime soon. In a little while do you want to go out some place, maybe to the park or something? I don't really want to go home yet.� Hyde did not remove his hand while he spoke, or even after Gackt turned to him and gave him his full attention.

Gackt did not move or speak for a moment after Hyde had posed his question. He just stood next to Hyde, his face dangerously close to the other man's. He could feel Hyde's hand on his back, and could almost swear that his hand was not placed on his back to get his attention, but to simply be able to touch him.

Hyde suddenly removed his hand and walked toward the door, startling Gackt out of his daze.

�I don't know about you, but I don't really want to spend my whole day in your bathroom. I'm going to go steal some of your clothes if you don't mind.� Gackt smiled as Hyde said this, but he couldn't see as he had already left the room.

Gackt took a deep breath and followed Hyde upstairs, hoping to help him pick out some clothes. He could still feel the weight of Hyde's hand on his back.

When he walked into his room, he noticed that Hyde was already looking through his closet, and just stood at the door for a moment observing his towel clad friend.

�Would you mind helping me? I can't find anything that looks like it will fit me.� Hyde popped his head out of the closet and looked at Gackt.

Gackt waltzed over to where Hyde was standing and leaned over him, peering into the closet. They both leaned further in, trying to look through the clothes that were toward the back of the closet. Gackt had to press himself right up against Hyde's mostly naked body, all the while was hoping his own body would behave it�s self. He leaned in a little more, thinking he saw a shirt that might fit Hyde, but as soon as he did he pushed the shorter man into the closet.

�Crap!� Hyde yelled from Gackt't closet.

�Sorry� I though I found a shirt that would fit you, and I was trying to grab it�� Gackt stammered.

�No, it's not that. I'm fine, but I seem to have lost my towel��

He could hear Hyde rummaging around in his closet, trying to find his towel, but all Gackt had to do was look down and he found the towel. It had stuck to Gackt's pants with the help of a not-so-subtle erection. He stared at it for a moment and then grabbed the towel with one hand and with the other he pushed his hard cock between his legs, hoping it would go away on its own.

�I found it,� He managed to choke out, �it fell on the ground out here�

�Oh, ok then.� Hyde paused as he reached out to take the towel from Gackt's outstretched hand, �Hey, do you think that you can get my boxers from the bathroom downstairs? They should be folded with the rest of my clothes on the counter.�

�Um�. Sure, no problem� Gackt swallowed hard. This was not going to help him get rid of his hard on.

He walked down to the bathroom and looked at the counter next to the sink and sure enough Hyde's clothes were there, folded just like he said. Right on top were Hyde's boxers, and as soon as he realized this he became ecstatic. Hyde's boxers were sitting right there! He grabbed them, and had a sudden urge to sniff them, but suppressed it as he walked back up to his room. When he got to the threshold he paused, making sure he had all of his body parts under control, although he knew that the control would only be temporary.

He walked into his room only to be greeted with the sight of Hyde struggling to put on the shirt that Gackt had seen in the closet with one hand while holding his towel with the other.

Gackt couldn't help laughing at Hyde dancing around, trying to get dressed while hoping to maintain some of his modesty. As soon as Hyde heard him, he turned around and gestured toward his boxers.

�Enjoying yourself?� Hyde smirked as he walked over toward Gackt and took his boxers from Gackt's outstretched hand.

�Yes, as a matter of fact I am. You seem to do the funniest things when you think no one is watching.� Hyde blushed a little at Gackt's statement.

�Well you are just going to have to enjoy yourself facing the wall. You've got to turn around while I change.� He said, turning his blush into a pout.

While he faced the wall, Gackt wondered how, just moments before he entered his room he had been completely tense, but as soon as he saw Hyde all that anxiety seemed to melt away. It was confusing to him, but after posing the question to himself he figured it was better left unanswered. He didn't really care about the reason he felt so tense, yet so at ease with Hyde, he just knew he liked that he could relax around someone.

�You can turn around now,� Hyde shouted, maybe a little too loud. Gackt was going to tell him that he didn't have to shout, but when he saw Hyde's butt sticking out from his closet he couldn't say anything. When he didn't say anything for a while, and didn't make a move toward the closet, Hyde stood up and looked over at Gackt.

�What are you gawking at? Come and help me find a pair of pants to wear. You know better than me what's in here.� Without even making sure Gackt had heard him, he turned back to whatever it was that he was looking at in the closet.

Gackt walked slowly toward Hyde, intently watching his ass wiggle around as he moved things inside the closet. When he was finally behind Hyde, he reached up to the top shelf and pulled out a pair of grey sweat pants that had always been a little short on him. Without saying a word he dropped them on Hyde's back, walked over to his bed, and sat down facing away from Hyde.

�Oh, cool thanks. You think that these will fit me?� Hyde said, a little startled.

�Yeah, they should, they are a little small on me. You can have them if you want.� Gackt spoke with a slightly dismissive tone that Hyde did not pick up on.

While Hyde got dressed, Gackt's mind was racing. He could not understand what he felt for Hyde, and why he felt it. He knew full well that Hyde had a family, and a life of his own. Gackt had once admitted to wanting to kiss Hyde while he was asleep at the MOONCHILD set, but that was simply because he looked so cute, it was nothing sexual.

As Gackt grappled with the realization that he did in fact have real, honest-to-God, sexual, and possibly romantic feelings for Hyde, the said man finished getting dressed and headed for the door.

�I'm kind of thirsty, so I'm going to get something to drink. After that do you want to go to the park or something? Just a quiet place where we can get a breath of fresh air?� He asked, rather hopefully.

�Huh? Oh yeah, that sounds good. That would be nice actually.� Hyde had interrupted his thought process, so it took him a minute to realize that Hyde was talking to him.

Hyde was already at the bottom of the stairs when Gackt got up from his bed and made his way toward the kitchen. While he walked his head was swimming with questions about how he felt about Hyde. He figured that it was something he had always known in his subconscious, but never something brought into the front of his mind. He decided that he would let things go the way they had been going since Hyde came to his house yesterday. Gackt would leave Hyde in the dark about his feelings; now that he knew what they were, he would keep them to himself.

When Gackt reached the kitchen Hyde was already at the sink and pouring himself a glass of water. He took a long drink and then filled up the glass again.

�Want some?� He asked as he offered cup to Gackt after he had taken another small sip.

Gackt looked between the glass and Hyde, who was smiling at him. He didn't say anything for a moment but then nodded and took the glass from Hyde and finished the rest of it�s contents.

'ITS AN INDIRECT KISS!!!!!' He thought to himself as he drank, trying desperately not to show his excitement about such a small gesture.

�Thanks,� He said calmly as he put down the glass and smiled back and Hyde.

He noticed Hyde looked slightly disappointed when he put down the finished glass, but he brushed it off as nothing as he watched Hyde fill up the glass again.

�You want another glass? You seemed to finish that one pretty quick.� Hyde inquired as he offered Gackt the newly filled glass.

Gackt smiled in response and took the glass, but only took a few sips and then handed it back to Hyde. He smiled as he took the glass from Gackt and finished it off.

When Hyde had put the glass back in the sink he leaned against the counter.

�On out way back here yesterday, I remember seeing a nice quiet park, wanna go check it out?� Hyde seemed completely relaxed.

�Yeah, that sounds great.� Gackt was curious as to why Hyde was so anxious to get to a park. He often saw him just sitting by himself at the MOONCHILD set, while they were filming outside, and just looking at everything around him; but he had no idea he enjoyed the outdoors this much.
