Shinya stood in front of the door to the practice room, arms crossed before his chest, tapping nervously with one foot on the ground. He seemed to glare at the door as if it would gave way if he kept doing it but really he was just in deep thoughts.
/It�s now or never! I won�t let him get away this time�/
He remembered all those moments when they touched. All those gestures, they seemed so fleeting yet they kept telling him something different. Something he craved for but also feared deeply.
Shinya felt his lips were dry and his tongue flipped over them shortly. /Our first kiss�it was so innocent but still it meant so much to me. In some way it still does./ The auburn head closed his eyes softly, more pictures of remembrance dancing behind his lids. They kept trying to tell his something he wasn�t sure of yet. In all those years he forgot about them, laying behind a layer of dust. But from time to time they came back, pressing into his consciousness with all the power they had. /Every time we spoke to each other he found something to tease me. He always made me embarrassed�even without trying. It�s just his nature. But I like it that way. I like the attention�from him./ A smile stole its way on his lips.
Suddenly a voice down the hall interrupted his train of thoughts.
"Hey, Shinya!" Toshiya walked slowly towards him. They had a short break and probably the bassist was out to smoke. "Why are you standing outside of the studio? Did they lock you out again?" He asked laughing.
Shinya pouted. "No, they did not. Can�t I stand where I want without having someone of you questioning me about it??"
"Take it easy, man." Toshiya lifted his hands in defense and smirked. "After you, Milady." He opened the door to the practice room and bowed. Shinya couldn�t resist to play along, curtsey while taking Toshiya�s offered hand. "Why, thank you."
They both broke out into laughter after some seconds and kept laughing when they saw the others looking funny at them.
"Now we have it. They�ve gone crazy!" Kyo muttered while rolling his eyes, going back to read his magazine.
"Hey, tell me what�s going on. I want to laugh, too!" Die smirked good-natured towards them.
Toshiya just shook his head while giggling and waved his hand. "Nothing. It was nothing."
Die looked expectantly to Shinya, who grinned behind his hand without saying a word. Die pouted disappointed. "You two are no fun!" He grumbled and went to his amp. When turning around again, Shinya suddenly stood in front of him. Die�s breath hitched. He didn�t expect the drummer to do that.
The read head smiled and looked into Shinya�s eyes. "What is it, Shin-chan?" He couldn�t resist to tease the frail looking drummer a bit. Shinya�s eye twitched some at hearing Die�s pet name for him. He took a small steps towards the guitarist and spoke in a small voice. "I somewhat miss the old times."
Die looked confused. Shinya could almost see how Die�s mind began to figure out his sentence. He smiled lightly and took another step, standing right before Die, almost touching the other man.
Shinya looked up and directly into Die�s warm, brown eyes, holding his gaze. His voice turned even softer but still loud enough for Die to hear him. "Kiss me again."
Die�s eyes widened in realization. Shinya saw the confusion in those orbs and quickly interrupted whatever Die wanted to say in this moment. "You did it seven years ago." Their eyes locked and he whispered. "Do it again."
"Shin�we�re in public." Die tried to reasoning with the auburn head before him but he was doing it halfheartedly. He wanted to kiss him. He wanted to do it all these years.
"I don�t care�" Shinya replied gently, eyes only half opened. That was all Die needed to hear. Their heads inched closer until their lips touched. The first contact was soft, hesitant. They both relished into this simple touch of their lips pressed against each other. It made them needy for more and so Die pressed more urgently against Shinya�s lips until the other one answered the request by opening his lips slowly. Die slipped his tongue inside Shinya�s mouth and gently explored the wet cavern. Shinya�s tongue shyly meet his own. He was overwhelmed by this simple gesture and encircled the drummer�s waist with his arms, pressing the thin man against himself. Shinya angled his head more to the side to give Die better access and kissed back with the same urgency he meet in Die�s movements. He lifted his arms around Die�s neck and hugged the other man tightly, running his hands through the red strands.
They broke the kiss because their lungs were running out of air. It didn�t stop Die from dotting little kisses all over Shinya�s face, though. He hugged him tightly and Shinya smiled against Die�s chest. "Mmmn�" Die kissed Shinya�s neck. "Why again had I to wait seven years for this to happen ?" Shinya giggled and looked into Die�s eyes. "You could�ve had it all the time. I was right here, wasn�t I?" He kissed Die�s pouting lips softly and smiled.
They separated and looked around the room to find their band mates gaping with disbelieving eyes at them.
"Toshiya, did you just see Die and Shinya kissing?" Kyo asked skeptical, turning to look at the bassist.
"�"
"Kaoru?" Kyo turned towards the their leader after getting no reply from the still shocked bassist.
"�"
"Oh, c�mon guys! At least one of you should speak to me."
Toshiya looked at Kaoru. "Ne Kao, why did you never do something romantically like this?"
"Eeeeh??" Kaoru couldn�t say much more. He was simply dragged off his feet by a whining Toshiya who also demanded a kissing session from his boyfriend.
Kyo looked at the couple in one corner of the room and then swift his gaze to other one. He lifted one eyebrow while turning back to his magazine, grumbling something about of being forced to stay with four crazy and horny men in one room. (^^;;;;)
