It was dusk when Toshiya walked into the little bar.  He spied Die sitting at the bar huddled over his drink.  Toshiya, always wanting to look his best had on a very short, black skirt, a tight, white blouse, and thigh high boots.  Toshiya walked over to Die without him noticing.

“Can I have a seat?” Toshiya asked.
“Yeah” Die said without looking up.
“Friendly! What’s up with you??”
“Nothing” was the only reply Die made.
“Like I’m going to believe that.  Are you still brooding over what Kyo said??”
“It’s true!!  I’ll never get Shinya.  He thinks I’m mean.”
“Oh come on!  He’ll get over that.  You just have to stop teasing him so much.”
“I don’t mean to.  I just can’t help it.” was Die’s defence.
“Why not try to get your mind off of him right now and pay attention to me??” Toshiya smiled and made a little twirl for Die.
Die looked up at Toshiya.  “Wow!!  You look hot!!  What’s this all about??”
“Oh nothing.  I just thought you and I might have some fun tonight.” Toshiya smiled evilly.
Die smiled “Alright!!  What did you have in mind??”
Toshiya smiled even bigger and replied, “Well, first we can have a few drinks, then maybe some dancing, and then maybe some cuddling....You can let your imagination go from there.”
“Are you sure Kaoru won’t get jealous??”
Toshiya stopped smiling, “Don’t care if he does.  I am not bound to him.” Toshiya replied rather matter of factly. “He does it to me all the time.” He added.
“Are you trying to get back at him??  Because if you are I won’t have any part of I.  I don’t want to be responsible if anything happens to the band.”
“I’m doing nothing of the sort.” Toshiya said in his defence.  “I just want you!!” He added teasing.  “But if you want to be an old stick in the mud, I won’t stop you.”
“Hey!!  I’ll show you an old stick in the mud.” Die said as he stood up.  Die grabbed Toshiya by the waist and pulled him to the dance floor.  A slow song was playing as they started to dance.  While dancing, Die felt Toshiya press his body hard against his own.  Reacting to Toshiya’s gesture, Die tightened his hold on Toshiya’s waist and started kissing his neck.  Looking up from Toshiya, Die saw Shinya enter the bar with Kyo.  Forgetting Kyo, Die stared at Shinya, defined by the tight black dress and high heeled boots he was wearing.  Shinya caught site of the two dancers and walked over to them just as Die let go of Toshiya.  Kyo followed after Shinya to see what was going on.
“So!!  What’s this??” Shinya asked smiling.
“Oh hi!!  What are you guys doing here??” Toshiya asked a little surprised.
Kyo was the one to reply.  “I felt like doing something tonight, and since he was the only one I could find, I called Shinya and asked him to come drink with me.”
“Oh thanks!!” Shinya said to Kyo, slightly hurt.
“So if you’re bored you go to a bar and get drunk??” Die said mostly to tease Shinya.
Shinya ignored Die’s comment and turned to Toshiya.  “Would you like to dance with me??”
“Sure, since this guy doesn’t want to any more!!” Toshiya said to Shinya, nodding at Die.  Die just stood there looking after the two men as they walked away.
“Hey! Lets get something to drink.” Kyo said to Die as he pulled Die’s arm.  Die went with Kyo to sit at the bar.  As Kyo ordered a drink, for himself and Die, the song Toshiya and Shinya were dancing to ended.  The two men joined Kyo and Die at the bar and ordered themselves drinks.  Die just stared into his drink.
“Hey! I though I cheered you up??” Toshiya said to Die.
“What’s the matter Die???  Not drinking tonight??” Kyo asked.  Die just ignored Kyo and Toshiya, and continued to stare at his drink.
“Hey!! Lets go sit at that table over there.” Shinya said quite cheerfully while pointing over to an empty table by a wall.  “That way we can actually hear when we talk to each other.”
“That sounds good.  Come on guys.” Toshiya said to the others.  Kyo got his drink and walked over to Toshiya and Shinya, leaving Die at the bar, as they walked over to the table.
“Hey Totchi.  What’s wrong with Die??” Kyo asked Toshiya.
“He’s just upset because of what you said to him this afternoon at practice.”
“What did I...  Oh yeah.  I didn’t mean for him to take it so hard.” As they walked on Shinya looked after the two confused and tried to figure out what Kyo and Toshiya were talking about.
“What happened???” Shinya finally asked, but was ignored by both men.
“I’m going to talk to him.  I’ll be right back.” Kyo left the table as Shinya and Toshiya sat down and stated talking.  Kyo returned to Die at the bar and sat next to him.
“Can I talk to you??” Kyo asked trying to sound friendly.
“What do you want?” Die replied a little to hostel.
Kyo ignored Die and continued anyway.  “Listen, I didn’t mean for you to take what I said like this.  I meant it in a friendly way.  I wanted to let you know that you have to go easy on Shinya because he is fragile.”
“No he is not!  He just wants everyone to think that.”
“How do you know??  Oh just stop it and come over here with us.” Kyo said as he stood up again.  Die followed him to over where the others were sitting and sat down next to Shinya.  Kyo sat down next to Toshiya and smiled.
“Welcome back to the party!!” Toshiya said to Die, already starting to feel his alcohol.
“What are you two talking about?” Kyo asked Toshiya and Shinya, noticing the big smiles on their faces.
“Girl talk!!” Toshiya laughed in reply.
Shinya continued “Nothing much.  We were just trying to decide which of you two we will get to take home with us to night.” Shinya said trying to keep from laughing.
“Who have you decided on???” Kyo said joking along with Shinya.
“You!!  Will you??”
“That leaves me with Die!!” Toshiya said happily.
“You’ve had that thought in mind all night long.” Die said grinning at Toshiya.
“What’s wrong with that??  Don’t you want me??” Toshiya asked.
“Who wouldn’t??”  Kyo glanced at Shinya after Die said this, and noticed him looking at Die with an almost hurt expression.
“Who would??  Toshiya has nothing to my Shin-chan.” Kyo quickly replied in Shinya’s defence.  All three men looked at Kyo at once.  “What??  I’m just telling the truth.” Kyo said to defend himself.  Die looked at Shinya, and realized that he was looking especially good.
“Wow!! Your right!! He looks delicious.” At this statement Shinya blushed a deep red and looked down into his glass.  Toshiya wasn’t very happy, he wanted Die all to himself, even if he knew that Die liked Shinya.  “Hey Shin-chan, wanna dance with me??” Die asked.
“I thought you’d never ask.  But you had better make sure that Toshiya doesn’t mind.” Shinya said as he and Die stood up.  Toshiya looked up at the two of them smiling and smiled back.  He knew that He really didn’t have a chance with Die when Shinya was around.  Shinya and Die left the group to dance leaving Toshiya and Kyo alone to talk.
“So how are things at your new apartment??  Its so lonely now that you moved out.  I even miss having you walk around the place in your boxers.” Kyo said to his friend.
“I miss that too.  Maybe someday I could come over and do that especially for you.” Toshiya joked.
“What were you up to with Die when we came in?”
“What makes you think I was up to something??” Toshiya said quickly.
“I know you too well.  You’ve had your eye on Die since you and Kaoru first got together.” Toshiya didn’t want to answer so he tried to change the subject.
“You and Shinya would look really cute together.” Toshiya said trying to sound innocent.
“Shinya looks cute by himself.  He doesn’t need to be with me to look cute.  Besides he likes Die.”
“How does Die feel?” Toshiya asked.
“Come on.  You know Die wants Shinya as much as Shinya wants Die.  Toshiya what’s wrong??  Is there something going on between you and Kaoru??” Kyo asked Toshiya.  Toshiya didn’t answer, he just looked at Die and Shinya dancing.  He leaned his head on his hand as he watched longingly.
Shinya and Die danced for a few songs.  Die, feeling that he had Shinya in his arms, brought the younger man closer to his body and held tight around his waist.  Shinya forgot himself and put his arms around Die’s neck as he rested his head on Die’s chest.  When the song that they were dancing to ended they let go of each other and returned to the table.
“You two look so cute together.” Toshiya’s remark made Kyo look at him in wonder.
“Thanks!  We are going to get some more drinks.  Want anything??  Oh and Toshiya I think you would look cuter in Kyo’s arms than you did in Die’s arms.” Shinya said as he and Die walked away.  A few moments later Shinya and Die came back.  “We got something for you even though you didn’t ask.” Shinya was happy and smiling as he sat down next to Toshiya.  Die sat down next to Shinya and looked up at Toshiya.
“How are things with Kaoru??” Die asked innocently.
Toshiya thinking it better to tell looked at Die and said, “I really don’t know what to do.  Kaoru loves to go out with other men and than tell me every little detail of their date.”
“Bastard!!” was Shinya’s response.
“Whoa Shinya!!” A shocked Kyo remarked to Shinya.
“What??”
“Never heard that from you before.” Kyo answered.
“Hey! Don’t you start on me.  Die has stopped teasing me for the night.”
“Sorry!!” Kyo apologized laughing.
“Thanks Shin-chan.  At least someone is on my side.” Toshiya said as he glared at Kyo and Die.
“Why not tell him something??” Die asked.
“I can’t.  If I tell him anything he makes me feel guilty.  I think the best thing would be to get away from him.”
“How will you do that??” Shinya asked innocently.
“He’s gonna use Die to hurt Kaoru!!” Kyo smirked.  Die was a little taken a back by this comment, but thought that it was something between Kyo and Toshiya.
“Shut your damn mouth!!  I’m not trying to do that.  What do you think I am A cold bitch.  I could never use my friends like that.” Toshiya yelled.
“Clam down Totchi.  It will be alright.  Why not let me talk to him??” Die said trying to calm Toshiya down.
“Thanks Die.... But I don’t know.”
“Don’t worry I will try to help.” Die said to Toshiya.  Shinya, hearing this, didn’t quite know what to do.  Toshiya looked at Die and smiled.
“I had better go.” Toshiya tried to get up but Kyo wouldn’t let him.
“You are not going anywhere.  You are going to stay here with us, get stinking drunk, and have a good time.” Kyo smiled, made Toshiya sit back down, and got him another drink.
