Chapter One: Leaving the Apartment


"CHEERS! TO A STARTING A NEW LIFE!"
Everyone clinked their beers together as they prepared to leave the tiny apartment they shared and move into Tokyo.
Uruha sipped his beer, looking around the bare apartment walls and watching his best friends be themselves around the little round table.
Aoi, his lover, had his arm around Uruha. He faintly smelled of soap, reminding Uruha of the bath they shared only an hour ago. He was handsome, with dark eyes, dark hair and pale skin. He was laughing at a story Ruki was telling about how he burst in on Kai making out with Miyavi.
Kai, who was blushing and hiding his face in Miyavi's crisp white shirt, was the sweet one. He kept his face hidden, with only his lean back facing the others. Uruha heard Miyavi saying, "There's nothing to be ashamed of...Don't hide yourself..."
Blond and spontaneous was Ruki. He cackled madly when he finished moritfying Kai. With a devilish grin, he poked Reita and nodded towards the still-hiding Kai. Then he took another swig of beer.
Reita, who grinned back, poured his entire bottle of beer on Kai, who gasped and showed his flushed face at last.
"NOO!" Kai yelped.
He jumped up and ran for the bathroom. He was stopped, however by Miyavi, who had a firm grasp on his wrist and said in a quiet, sultry voice, "I like it when you're wet."
Kai, once again blushed to the roots of his mahogany hair and sat with with an embarassed look on his face when Miyavi licked the beer off his face.
Uruha sighed luxuriously and set down his empty mug. He snuggled sleepily into Aoi, who kissed softly him on the forehead and hugged him closer before starting a conversation with the non-chalant Reita. Uruha listened in the conversation, occasionally in Ruki's and Miyavi's, too.
"I really have to find a new girlfriend... Yumi is hot, yeah...but..." Reita was saying.
"I know what you mean. She's whiny. And possesive. And she calls you ReiReiBunnyBuns." Added Aoi.
"SHUTTUP! Don't say that name!"
"What? Sorry, I didn't hear that, ReiReiBunnyBuns."
"I REALLY don't like avocadoes...I don't know why.." Miyavi was saying to Ruki from across the table.
"You heard me! Anyways, I plan to do it tomorrow. Before we start the drive to Tokyo." Reita continued.
"Better do it in a hurry...you know Ruki...always having to pee..."
"...I SO HEARD THAT!..." yelled Ruki.
Uruha's eyelids started to droop.
"...Meeves...insane....really perfect...Kai...total opposites... "
"...I agree...hopefully...ramen"
"...hahaha...car...won't...Shou..." 
Ruki was dancing around in a purple and lime green tutu on a stage, the only light coming from the bright one shining on him. Uruha was the only member of the audience, throwing roses. Hiroto burst in out of nowhere and danced with him in a fluffy white bunny suit. Then, Hiroto pointed at Uruha. Ruki nodded. They started to close in on him... the light turned off...maniacal music came on...bowls of ramen flew around his head...

There was a giant thud. Uruha suddenly awoke. He was moving. Whaa?
"What's...happening...?" Uruha asked groggily. 
"Oh. He's awake." He could hear Ruki announcing.
"Hmm. You fell asleep last night and I had to carry you into the bed, then later the car. Which we are in, sweetie,"
Aoi told him lovingly, stroking his hair. He had his sunglasses on, the one Uruha gave him during their second year together.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"'Cause you looked so happy. For the first part anyway. Then you started to say something about bunnies..."
Uruha looked around the van, Ruki was driving, Reita was in the seat next to the door, looking grumpy (but very handsomely so), Kai was absorbed in an issue SHOXX magazine featuring Miyavi on the cover. Uruha's head was in Aoi's lap.
"What's up with Reita?" He gingerly asked.
"Yumi went psycho on him when he told her it was over. Tore his off his nose bandana and exposed his nose. Then she started screaming and twitching... I always thought she was a little crazy..." Aoi calmly said, his face towards the highway.
"Shuttup, man." Grumbled Reita. Kai, who was sitting next to him, patted him on the pat absentmindedly, never taking his eyes off the magazine. 
"Hey Reita! One of your ads is in here!" 
He suddenly pointed at the stunning sepia picture of a very wet, very half-naked Reita lying down in the sand for an advertisement for cologne. Reita, who was a model and used to seeing himself everywhere, shrugged and went back to looking grumpy. 
Aoi ignored him and went back to looking at the highway. Uruha sat up, brought out the shining black device that was his cellphone and text messaged his step-brother while Aoi shifted and put his arm on the back of Uruha's seat.
-Five Hours and 12 Bathroom Stops Later-
"I'm SOOO gonna paint this room purple!" squealed Ruki when they arrived at their new house, furniture already moved in.
"Thank Nao for getting us such a good deal on this house! He's so nice to us!" said Kai appreciatively.
"WELL. He, like, HAAAS to be. He is my bf, after all. And don't worry, Kai-chan. I WILL thank him. But not in the way you think." Ruki waggled his eyebrows at Kai before jumping into another room, saying, "MINE! MINE! CALLED IT! LOCKED IT! PUT IT IN MY POCKET!"
Reita walked in and put down the many boxes he was balancing gracefully. Aoi also came in with boxes, only he came in with a less refined, more rugged way, his muscles showing in his short sleeved black silk shirt. Uruha watched Aoi with his heart pounding. Aoi caught Uruha's eye and winked at him. Then, Uruha ran away the hallway to the confines of a bedroom, walls blank, with only a bed with a pillow in it. He buried his face in the pillow, trying to rid his mind of all dirty thoughts. 
His breathing became shallow and suddenly stopped when he heard Aoi say to the others, "Go on without me. Don't wait up."
He heard the front doors slam and the steps of Aoi's shoes come closer and closer. He didn't breathe, half hoping he would come in, half hoping he wouldn't. He didn't want to risk Ruki bursting in on them if anything should happen, like he did Kai and Miyavi. What would he do if he did? What if Aoi didn't come in? What if he did? What will happen? Uruha was so caught up in his own thoughts he didn't notice Aoi walk into the room until he sat on the bed. Startled, Uruha jumped up. Aoi pinned him down by the shoulders, his face only inches away from his.
"What's the matter? Are you playing hard to get now?" Aoi asked with false hurt in his low voice.
Uruha, thinking he was genuinely upset, reached up and kissed him softly on the lips.
Aoi responded back with a forceful kiss, his tongue wrestling with Uruha's.
