Author's notes :

Domo Arigatou for taking time out to read my TetsuxHyde fic. It's been around since 1998 which means it's 5 years old now!! Can you believe it? Well, for it's 5 year anniversary I revised it for the FINAL time...tying up loose ends and clarifying things that didn't make sense in the beginning. No other website has this newly revised fiction except pook's site, REINCARNATION and I think this will be it's permanent home. So please keep coming back here to check for updates!

I have been on a haitus from writing fiction for about 3 years now and this TetsuxHyde fic has been on the backburner. I want to thank each and everyone of you that took the time to write me encouraging e-mails about this story and urging me to finish it. I know I didn't even reply to most of you for the past couple years, but I want to tell you thank you and I will finally continue to complete this saga for 2004!! You all have waited long enough. (and it's about time Laruku got back together too, ne?!!)

In the meantime, please re-read the story...since I made some changes it might even be better than when you first read it...I hope!! And like I mentioned before, this story is purely fictional. I just used some real facts about the band and twisted them around a little. Hahaha... Just for us adamant TetsuxHyde fans!!

The story takes place in 1998, just after the first part of their LIGHT MY FIRE TOUR ended. The members took a three week vacation to rest and do whatever they want. But little did they know this vacation would start something that would change all their lives, especially Hyde and Tetsu's. Even though they lead their own separate lives, they still have a deep connection to one another. Hidden feelings start surfacing and memories of the past start haunting them. Will these feelings finally bring them together and show them their destiny? Is their relationship really meant to be or is it just a door back into their past?

....READ THE STORY!!! ^o^

- Part 4 -

 

“Yes, I still live alone Mom...”
Tetsu was still stuck on the phone with his mother. It was the longest five minutes of his life and he was still in shock that she actually called. If he had a choice, he would hang up right now and attack Hyde on the couch. Instead, he just hung onto the phone listening to the latest family gossip and now getting questioned about why he’s still living alone. His mother hardly ever called him and when she did, it was usually because of something important.

Hyde somehow read Tetsu’s mind and approached him in the kitchen. Tetsu’s eyes widened with surprise as Hyde wrapped his arms around Tetsu’s thin waist. Slowly, Hyde brought his lips to Tetsu’s neck and left light kisses on both sides, making him giggle. The feeling was making Tetsu’s stomach tickle a bit as he tried numerous times to stop Hyde from doing anything else.

“Oh...I’m...uh, just laughing at something on TV...it’s nothing...I...”
Tetsu was trying to talk but the words were not coming out clearly. Hyde’s mischievous lips found their way to Tetsu’s mouth and he started kissing him.
“Mmph...” Tetsu accidentally moaned, he put his hand over the phone’s receiver and quietly scolded Hyde.
“Hyde! Yamero yo...I’m talking to my mother!!”
“I know...” Hyde smiled evilly as he ran his hand down Tetsu’s chest.
Tetsu smiled, “Just wait a second...ok?”

“Hello, Mom...what were you saying? Kikanakatta...” Tetsu continued talking on the phone and turned his back away from Hyde. Hyde came over again and ran his hand down Tetsu’s back until his hand gently went over and squeezed Tetsu’s bottom. Tetsu jumped up and started to laugh. The look on his face was so amusing, Hyde couldn’t help but laugh as well. Seeing Hyde laugh made Tetsu laugh even more, his cheeks started to warm up with embarrassment.

“I’m sorry Mom, I really have to go... Hyde just came by to pick up his cat...” Tetsu tried to sound normal so his Mom wouldn’t suspect anything, but he knew it probably wasn’t working. Suddenly a nervous look appeared on his face....

“How’s Kaori? Ano....well, I don’t know. We broke up...”

Hyde froze. He couldn’t believe what he just heard. Tetsu and Kaori actually broke up?! How come Tetsu didn’t tell him? Wouldn’t Tetsu be heartbroken if he was serious about the relationship?

“Yeah, it’s okay Mom. She wasn’t happy with the relationship and I just realized, I wasn’t either.” Tetsu’s eyes met Hyde’s and he smiled, “I really think I was meant to be with someone else.”

Hyde’s heart started to race. Was Tetsu serious? Hyde wanted to hug Tetsu so tight, but deep down inside he felt a little guilt form. He couldn’t tell Tetsu what he told Kaori... He couldn’t tell Tetsu that he was probably what caused their breakup. Hyde decided to leave the room and just go to sleep. He quietly left Tetsu in the kitchen to finish his conversation with his mother.

“What have I done?”
Hyde was asking himself.... He was happy beyond words that Tetsu did finally realize that he was interested in him. But, the guilt of breaking the relationship between him and Kaori was bothering Hyde. Why was he feeling so guilty?
Hyde entered the room and went under the heavy covers of the bed. He thought back about his nightmare. What if Tetsu found out that Hyde did it? Tetsu would probably hate him for it. But some things are best to be left unsaid. Hyde will tell him one day...now just wasn’t the time to do so. He and Tetsu are getting along too well. He doesn’t want to ruin his chance.

A few minutes later Tetsu finally hung up the phone and put it back on the stand. His mother was asking him a million questions about why Kaori broke up with him. Of course Tetsu couldn’t give her a valid answer because he didn’t know the reason himself. He didn’t really care anyway because he just realized that something was happening between him and Hyde. The little kissing situation was just the beginning.... while it was happening, a whole new outlook developed within Tetsu. His feelings for Hyde were escaping the darkness of his soul and singing to life once again. After all these years, his feelings have only gotten stronger. It was a great feeling and Tetsu knew that the only person he could be happy with would only be Hyde. He only hoped that Hyde felt the same way...

Tetsu looked around and noticed that Hyde was no longer in the living room... He was looking around after shutting everything off in the kitchen,

“Haido?”

Entering the bedroom, Tetsu saw Hyde sleeping peacefully in the bed. His heart ached a little bit because he was really looking forward to continuing their little kiss-fest. Tetsu smiled to himself and quietly went under the covers, switching off the light. He just remembered that they had practice early tomorrow morning.

Hyde was awake, but kept still in the dark room as he felt Tetsu finally enter the bed. He didn’t want to make a move on Tetsu yet, because he rather not scare him away or do something that Tetsu wouldn’t want to do. So he just lay there quietly, pretending to be asleep.

Tetsu was wondering if Hyde was awake or not. He was just too happy and excited to go to bed. It was like one of those feelings you get when you just find out the crush you had for the longest time actually likes you back. The question you ask in your head is; “What do I do next?!”
Tetsu turned his head to Hyde’s side of the bed and just stared at his back, wondering if he was dreaming....and about who? Tetsu smiled and found himself scooting closer to Hyde and nervously draping his arm around Hyde’s body, bringing himself closer to him.

Hyde felt Tetsu’s arm go suddenly around him, pulling him so close! He could not believe Tetsu was actually doing this, but he kept still.... enjoying the closeness and warmth. Hyde then responded by putting his hand on Tetsu’s arm, making him hold him tighter. Tetsu felt this and held Hyde closer, gently laying his head against Hyde’s back.

“Oyasumi....” Hyde said quietly.

Tetsu looked up, so Hyde WAS awake! Smiling big, Tetsu said nothing as he kept Hyde in his arms, closing his eyes and finally dozing off.

******************************
“Ohayo!!” Ken announced loudly as he entered the studio. He dragged his guitar case in, not being careful with the walls it bumped into.
“Oi! Ken-Chan!!” Tetsu said smiling, “I have something new for us to do.”
“Woah, Haido, you’re here too?” Ken grinned.
“HAI! But, all I can do is sit here and watch you guys play today.” Hyde frowned playfully.
“Too bad!! We’ve been practicing without your voice for so long now... It’s either me or Tetsu singing, and you know how annoying Tetsu’s voice gets after awhile!” Ken laughed, “I missed your voice Haido.”
“Nani ittan-dayo kore?!” Tetsu eyed Ken annoyingly, “Mind you, I was once a vocalist too!”
“Yeah, a short lived one!” Ken joked as he patted Tetsu on the back .
“If only some person would let me practice....” Hyde hinted, “Everything will sound MUCH better...”
“Doi Hachiro, are you complaining?!” Tetsu smiled as he patted Hyde’s head.
“Nani mo iwanakatta!” Hyde laughed, “I’m glad _someone_ missed me around here!”

“Ne, what’s this new song we gotta do?” Ken asked curiously, “Is it that one you were working on the other day or the one Hyde and I started?”
“Well, just as soon as Yukki comes, I’m going to show you the new song I wrote.” Tetsu said as he sipped his usual drink for the morning, Mocha Coffee.
“New song, eh? Sugoi... You know, I was kinda thinking this upcoming concert extension is a little too sudden...” Ken said, making a face, “Talk about screwy timing, ne?”
“Well, it was a little sudden, but I think it’s great that the fans want more!” Hyde sat up excitedly.
“Yeah, that’s also gonna give us a chance to perform our new songs for a live concert video release....” Tetsu said, “So we better get this song ready to record before show time!”
“Waaa....Our goal is to release two new singles by October...” Hyde sighed, “We’ll definitely be on top if we did that.”
“Our tickets for the concert are definitely going to sell out..” Tetsu added, “Or so I’ve heard....”
“Damn damn damn....” Ken sighed under his breath, “The first concert is in exactly two weeks, ne?”
Tetsu nodded his head, “Yup.”
“Then I should practice today too, Techan!!” Hyde announced.
“Dekiru?” Tetsu asked as he gently put his hand on Hyde’s shoulder.
“Of course I can!”
“Well, I rather you hear the song we practice today, so you can get an idea of what lyrics will go well with it.”
“Oh...sou desune. I have to write the lyrics... I think I can finish them today Techan, if you want.”
“That would be great! The sooner we get things done, the less we’ll have to worry about!”
Hyde and Tetsu giggled quietly together, both in a very good mood as they sipped their coffee, looking through a magazine.

Ken looked up from taking his guitar out of it’s case and noticed Tetsu and Hyde being really friendly towards each other. Usually there would be tension in the recording studio about the lyrics for a new song or performing a new song in general. Hyde would normally be arguing with Tetsu for rushing him, telling Tetsu that writing lyrics is a talent that needs time for inspiration and cannot be rushed... then Tetsu would blurt out his speech about being the leader and the pressure put on him and so on....

Instead, Tetsu and Hyde were treating each other so kindly, and something about their actions looked as if they were nervous or shy to be around each other. Ken shook his head. Must be all in his mind, he thought. They were out of practice for four and a half weeks anyway.

About five minutes later, Yukihiro arrived with a smile spread across his face. Yukki was actually the only one out of the group who would come to practice willingly and always in a good mood. Today, he was so happy seeing Hyde back, he even gave him one of his chocolate candy bars.

“Still eating these Yukki? Shame on you!” Hyde teased as he accepted the candy bar.
“Eh? I got my teeth fixed! I can still eat junk food ne! Hahahah...”
“Yeah, Yukki finally got them fixed after Tetchan forced him to....” Ken laughed.
“I was only concerned... We can’t afford to have our drummer in pain during a tour!” Tetsu smiled, “Besides, aren’t you all glad we don’t have to hear Yukki moaning in pain anymore?”
All of them started to laugh as Yukki turned bright red and tried to hide his embarrassment about his toothaches.

“Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I’m going to set up...” Yukki said as he headed into the studio next door.
“Me too.” Ken said as he followed Yukki into the studio, bringing his guitar and Tetsu’s bass with him.

Right when Yukki and Ken left the room, Tetsu and Hyde began to talk quietly...
“Did you sleep well?” Tetsu asked curiously as he was sorting out the music.
“Yes, I had no nightmares... I actually had a good sleep. The best I’ve had these past few weeks.”
“Yokatta...”
“Thanks to you Techan...” Hyde said as he turned to Tetsu, smiling.
“Umm, about yesterday...” Tetsu began, “I can’t....stop...thinking...”
“It was...fun...wasn’t it?”
“Yeah...” Tetsu giggled quietly, “I can’t believe my Mom called.”
“I know!” Hyde started to laugh, “...but good thing she did.”
“Doshite?”
“Well, we would’ve went farther than we planned, ne...”
“You...mean....”
“Uh-huh.” Hyde nodded sheepishly as he began to write something on a piece of paper. Tetsu looked down at what Hyde was writing and couldn’t say anything else. He knew perfectly well what Hyde meant and felt the blood rush to his cheeks.

“Yukki?” Ken said as he was plugging the equipment up.
“Yeah, what is it Ken-Chan?”
“Uh...is it just me or does it seem Tetsu and Hyde are kinda acting weird?”
“What makes you think that?”
“Well, I dunno.... I mean, they seem friendlier towards each other... and did you hear that Tetsu and Kaori just broke up a couple of weeks ago?”
“Uso?!!” Yukki said surprised, turning to Ken, “Tetsu doesn’t seem sad about it.”
“I know!! I mean, it really looked like Tetsu and Kaori were serious. Tetsu even told me that he bought her a ring... and for them to break up, I would think Tetsu would be crying for Kaori to come back!”
“Well, maybe Tetsu wasn’t as serious as we thought... or maybe Kaori did something?”
“I don’t know Yukki. But I kinda think Tetsu and Hyde have something going...”
“What the hell?” Yukki laughed, “I know you always have hentai thoughts, but about Hyde and Tetsu?!”
“No, I’m serious this time!”
“We joked about it at the hospital, but I don’t see how that can be true, ne...” Yukki shook his head, “Tetsu’s only being nice because Hyde’s sick... he’s just worried.”
“Hmmm.... well. You’re probably right. It might just be me. My wife has been watching a lot of romance movies and those are probably getting to me.”
Both Yukki and Ken laughed.
“I’m gonna go get a drink from the machine in the lobby...you want one?” Ken asked, heading toward the back door.
“Nah.... I still gotta tune these drums.”

Ken exited through the door and Yukki stood up, looking at his drumset. He was trying to remember what else needed to be done. He suddenly remembered something he wanted to ask Tetsu, but just as he was approaching the door to enter the other studio, he saw something through the window....

Hyde and Tetsu were kissing!!!!

Yukki’s breath caught in his throat, but he didn’t want to startle them. So he quickly turned around and continued looking at his drumset. Can it be? Tetsu and Hyde?! Yukki shook his head and bravely looked through the window behind him again. Tetsu and Hyde were just sitting there looking at the music now. Did what he see really happen?!!

“I think you ate a little too much chocolate today, Yukihiro!!!” Yukki quietly scolded himself. He couldn’t and didn’t want to believe that the valiant leader and the egotistic vocalist of Laruku were together! He did hear that Hyde had a fling with Sakura, but he thought that was just a rumor since he saw Hyde dating women. Tetsu also didn’t seem the type either, since Yukki saw how much Tetsu adored Kaori.

“Ne, Yukki, what’s wrong?” Ken said as he entered the room. He noticed Yukki just standing there with a frightened look on his face.
“Eh?” Yukki looked at Ken and shook his head, “Betsu ni....”
Ken shrugged, “O-K...but, I keep telling you Yukki, too much chocolate in the morning is _not_ good for you!”
“I know.... but Ken-Chan...I think I saw...something.”
“Did you see a ghost?” Ken asked excitedly, “Because I know I saw a few in this studio! One of them is said to be an ex-girlfriend of a famous musician that killed herself because of this big scandal and --”
“No! I didn’t see any ghosts!!” Yuki stammered.
“What then??”
“Tetsu and Hyde, they....”
“Are you guys ready?!” Tetsu said as he entered the room, causing Yukki to stop his sentence.
“Yeah...we’ve been _waiting_ for you guys!” Ken said putting down his drink.
Tetsu smiled nervously as he looked back at Hyde. Yukki was looking at them both, an unsure look came across his face.
“Saa.... here’s the music.” Tetsu said as he handed Yukki, Ken and Hyde the papers....each of them looking through it.

“Hey, this is really good Tetchan!” Ken said happily looking at the music. He started humming the chorus, “Kinda reminds me of Dive to Blue, ne?”
“Yeah....but, wait till you hear the lyrics! Hyde already wrote about half of them ten minutes ago!” Tetsu said proudly.
“Ne, Yukki, what do you think?” Ken asked the drummer, who was now behind his drumset.
“It’s good! I like it. The beat is easy to assemble and I think I can add some extra parts to give it a little more punch.”
“Hontou?!” Tetsu beamed, “I had no idea how to write in your parts Yukki. You always think of good stuff anyway!”
Yukki smiled at the compliment and set the paper down.
“Okay...let’s give this a try!” Ken said, placing the music on a nearby stand.

Laruku then began to play the new music Tetsu wrote. After about ten or so tries, they compromised and got the first half of the song down, adding some new parts here and there. While doing that, Hyde just sat there and watched.... Tetsu mostly. Ken noticed again how Hyde was looking at Tetsu, but just ignored it. Yukki saw Hyde’s glances at Tetsu as well, but the thought of them kissing just would not get out of his head. All Tetsu did was smile back at Hyde as he set his attention back on his bass.

“Techan, what if I sang a few lines with you guys, so I can get a feel for the song?” Hyde suddenly said, standing up and taking his coat off.
“Sure....uh, Yukki, can you get one of those microphones behind you?”
“Hai.” Yukki said as he grabbed a mic. He walked over as Tetsu was setting up a stand for Hyde.
“Thanks...” Hyde said as he stood behind the stand, adjusting the mic and testing the sound.
“Tetchan!! What’s this song called by the way?” Ken asked, trying to look for the title on the pages.
“Snowdrop.”
“Snowdrop?! Where’d you get that title?”
“Hyde’s cat.”
“Hontou?! That little scrawny kitten?!” Ken had a amused look on his face, he loved _anything_ to do with cats, “Now why didn’t you name it Elizabeth?! She’ll get really jealous, ne! She knew you even longer than Hyde’s cat!”
All the members laughed.
“I’ll leave that to you Ken-Chan.” Tetsu smiled, “in the meantime, this song’s for Haido’s cat. I’ve grown quite fond of it.”
“Waaa! Tetchan’s turning into a softie toward kawaii animals now!!” Ken teased, “I thought I’d never see the day!!”
“Sou ne!” Hyde agreed.
“People change...”
Yukki just smiled as Ken made a funny face at Tetsu. People DO change.... Have Hyde and Tetsu changed?

“Okay on three!” Tetsu finally said. Yukki kept count on his drums and they played Snowdrop once again. The intro went along great, Tetsu and Ken started to hop around with the beat, making funny faces at each other like little mischievous children while Hyde started to sing;

“Toumei na....shizuku wa anata... kanren’na mizu no ne....
Kirameku you ni...yureru.... hamon wa haru no yokan....mezame no jyuumon

Kuzure ochite yuku...tsumi ageta bouheki no.... mukou de wa...
Sotto ani hi no boku ga.... waratteta

Fushigi da ne, sabitusite tomatteita toki ga
Kono sekai ni mo...asa wo tsugete kureru yo....”

When Ken began his short guitar solo, Hyde then started to cough uncontrollably... Tetsu looked at him worried, but Hyde gave him a signal to say he was okay. He resumed...

“Sou...hitomi.... *COUGH* tozashitenaide...Yoku misumete mite....
Mafuyu ni saita shiroi....yuki ni hana mi ima nara ki ga tsuku hazu

Furihodoke nakkatta... zujyou no kumo wa sakate *COUGH*
Ko’ori tsuku....daichi ni wa hisoyaka ni.... *COUGH COUGH* irozuita

Toritachi no habataki ga hitobito no utagoe ga
Hibiki hajimete mune wo kogasu yo
Soshite eien no sora no shita shizundeta fuukei noi yasashii emide
Kaze ni fukareru anata ga ita.... *COUGH COUGH COUGH*

As Ken started his second guitar solo, Tetsu suddenly stopped playing. The music stopped and all the members looked at Hyde, who was now arched over.

“Hyde, are you alright?!” Tetsu said as he knelt down to Hyde, rubbing his back. Hyde was still coughing and nodding his head.
“Daijoubu...daijoubu...” He said, “I just haven’t exercised my voice in awhile...it got kinda scratchy.”
“Ne, I think you should take a rest now and drink some water.” Tetsu said to him. Hyde looked at the other members to get their opinion.
“Yes, listen to Tetchan, Haido. Your lyrics are great!! You did really good!!”
“Yup! This song is gonna be a hit!!” Yukki said happily, smiling at Hyde.
“Mn.” Hyde nodded, “I just wish my voice didn’t sound this bad.”
“Don’t worry about it Haido. You’ll have a whole week to exercise it until we actually record. You sounded _very_ good. It’s amazing how the lyrics and the way you sing them go well with the song! Just like I imagined it!”
“Hontouni?!” Hyde smiled happily, looking at Tetsu.
“Hontouni sou dayo-na!” Tetsu nodded cutely at Hyde.

Right before Ken and Yukki’s eyes, Hyde hugged Tetsu out of nowhere! Ken just looked at them and then looked at Yukki’s surprised expression. Tetsu stiffened up because he knew Ken and Yukki were watching this ordeal.
“Haido...” He said quietly.
“Oh! Uh...” Hyde then let go of Tetsu and sat back on the bench in front of them, smiling.
“Are you ready to go over it again?” Tetsu turned to Yukki and Ken, trying to break the sudden silence.
“Let’s do it!” Ken said excitedly as he was fumbling with a few of his guitar chords, “I wanna try my solo with a wah-peddle this time!”
Yukki then started to tune his drums one more time as he set electronic beats to the computer. Tetsu looked at Hyde once more and saw that Hyde was quietly working on his lyrics. Their eyes met and Hyde smiled, making Tetsu’s heart pound.

***********************
After a long and hardworking practice, Hyde and Tetsu left the studio immediately, leaving Ken and Yukki there to pack the rest of the stuff up.

“Were you going to tell me something Yukki....before we began practice?”
“Well...” Yukki blushed, “I think you probably already know.”
“Tetsu and Hyde, huh?”
“Yeah... I kinda...caught them kissing in there...” Yukki said as he pointed at the studio on the other side.
Ken’s face quickly blanked out.
“You did?!!!”
“Unfortunately...” Yukki smiled, “I guess you were right all along, Ken-Chan!”
“Woooo boy...” Ken sighed, “I knew this was coming!”
“What do you mean?” Yukki asked curiously as he sat down on a nearby amp, giving his attention to Ken.
“Well, do you promise not to say ANYTHING to anyone?”
“Yeah, of course. Anything personal that has to do with the band, I keep to myself....no one else.”
Ken was hesitant for awhile until he finally sat down in front of Yukki and began his story....

“Okay....well, I’ve known Tetsu for a VERY long time. Even longer than Hyde. Tetsu and I lived in the same prefecture in Osaka and we went to rival schools. So you can say that we got to see one another grow up and eventually get into music. I met Tetsu during our senior year in high school when our little bands were doing battles at the town fair. I can say from that time, Tetsu wasn’t the same person you see today. He was absolutely different. He was so spoiled, due to the fact that his parents were rather wealthy, he had a bad temper and liked to get into fights. The only way I became his friend was through our interest in music and in girls, but other than that he was the most cocky person you’d ever meet! We’d always go around and have these contests to see who can accumulate the most girlfriends. It was so stupid and Tetsu always won! I have no idea why. He was so scrawny and dorky!”

Ken-Chan laughed, recollecting his past as he took out a cigarette and lit it. He offered one to Yukki, but Yukki shook his head, wanting to hear more.

“It wasn’t until college that I began to see Tetsu change. He was really serious about forming his own rock band. He wanted me to be in it, but I wasn’t up to it since I was busy trying to get my degree. So he was searching high and low, trying to recruit members. Until one day a friend gave us a flyer of this one local band that was playing at one of our popular hang outs in Wakayama City. At first we weren’t interested until our friend told us that this band had a gorgeous babe on guitar! So, both me and Tetsu who were _known_ to be womanizers then, had to see this BABE.”

“Don’t tell me....” Yukki smiled.

“Yup... when Tetsu first saw Hyde, he was the guitarist of a band called Jerasalem’s Rod. We ended up going to their live in Wakayama City and I must say that when me and Tetsu first saw Hyde on stage, our eyes BUGGED out. Hyde was SO gorgeous. From what I could remember, he was wearing a dark colored dress and his hair was long and curly. Though most of the band were dressed gothic and wore makeup, the only makeup he did wear was lipstick, that’s all. We really thought Hyde was a girl, and even had a bet on who would take this ‘girl’ home with them. So after the show, we begged the groupies to see this guitarist. They must’ve looked at us crazy, wondering why two guys were so desperate to meet Hyde. After a dozen tries they wouldn’t let us so Tetsu just walked off to get a drink while I went straight to the bathroom. I don’t know what happened, but when I returned, I saw Tetsu at the bar with Hyde! They were actually having a conversation! So knowing the way I am, I decided to go over there and intrude their little conversation. That’s when I finally figured out that Hyde was actually a guy! His voice gave it away...”

Yukki started to laugh, “So you and Tetsu quickly changed your minds about going after Hyde?”

“Well, I know I did. But, not Tetsu. He was still shocked that Hyde was a guy and just couldn’t accept it. The impression of Hyde as a girl stayed with him and hit him really hard. I’ve never seen anyone have this much impact on a person. He was able to maintain contact with Hyde by phone and tried to attend every one of Jerusalem Rod’s lives. At first I thought nothing of it... but then he told me that he was somehow attracted to Hyde for some odd reason. I just passed it off since we were both drunk at the time, but he was actually serious. It wasn’t until he recruited Hyde to his band that I believed him. A little later I finally joined and replaced HIRO. I also got to see Tetsu with Hyde. I gotta say that it was a trip seeing Tetsu around him. He wasn’t the same person and was practically with Hyde all the time. He’d always go out of his way for him and do things for him. I kinda saw it like Tetsu was treating Hyde like a girl...or even better...and Hyde was definitely taking advantage of it without knowing it. I got kinda mad at this because Tetsu wasn’t acting like himself at all...so I confronted him about it. He then broke down and said he was in love with Hyde.”

Yukki’s eyes widened, “Did Hyde feel the same way?”

“I don’t think so. Hyde already had a live in girlfriend at the time. But they broke up during the time PERO left and Sakura was recruited. But, you know that story, huh?”

“About Hyde and Sakura...yeah.... but I didn’t think it was true. I always looked at it as a fan rumor.” Yukki said scratching his head. Ken started to chuckle.

“It’s true....as true as any Laruku rumor can get. Hyde fell in love with Sakura at first sight. Tetsu saw this clearly and got very jealous. He even had second thoughts of keeping Sakura in the band because of this. I can say that during this time, I actually saw some of Tetsu’s cocky temper come back. But at first, Sakura was completely ignoring Hyde’s advances for awhile until he actually fell for Hyde too. They started going out and openly showing their affection. Tetsu was in a rage, he would call me all hours of the day trying to keep track of where Hyde was and what he was doing. It was getting way out of hand... When Tetsu saw Hyde and Sakura kissing before one of our concerts, Tetsu cut his long hair to fight off his depression.”

“I thought Tetsu did that because he got his heart broken by a girlfriend....but Hyde was the real reason?!” Yukki was in suspense. Ken nodded and continued,

“Then came the day when Sakura was caught with the drugs. At first Tetsu was really upset about it because of our band’s reputation and all, but after a few weeks he was telling me that he was glad it happened. He wanted Sakura away from Hyde. I was shocked. Sakura was one of my friends too, but Tetsu had a big grudge against him. He then tried to be there for Hyde and keep him company during this hard time. Hyde was really messed up and didn’t want to sing at all anymore, he was even thinking of leaving the band as well. It took Tetsu a long time to get Hyde back to normal again and it took a long time to get Laruku back on it’s feet. During this time I had a talk with Tetsu and I think Tetsu finally came to his senses, realizing that it was wrong of him for falling in love with Hyde and holding a grudge against Sakura for no valid reason. He realized too, that he shouldn’t have a relationship with Hyde because they’d probably both end up getting hurt. So he quit spending so much time with Hyde and started dating girls again. But, I kinda figured his feelings would come back again...”

“What about Hyde?”

“As for Hyde, it’s too hard to figure out what he might be thinking or feeling. I always thought his feelings for Sakura would never change, but I guess Hyde realized that he loves Tetsu as well. I really think Tetsu would treat Hyde much better than Sakura ever did. It’s just something about Hyde that makes Tetsu so unbelievably happy. He really changed Tetsu into a better person and I think Tetsu knows that. I just hope if Hyde and Tetsu are together, their relationship won’t end so harshly like the ones they had before.”

Yukki had a nervous look on his face, “Geez, I wouldn’t want that to happen...”
Ken shrugged his shoulders, “Well, I guess we have no choice but to sit back and watch, ne?”
“Yup...” Yuki sighed, “Oh well... would you like to go downtown and eat something? I think a great dinner will go well with this conversation.”
“Sure! Let’s just leave all this junk here. We’re coming here tomorrow anyway!”
“Okay!”

Ughhhh... I’m so full Tetchan... You weren’t kidding. Your ramen is the BEST!” Hyde smiled, a satisfied look appeared on his face.
“I told you... It’s my Mom’s recipe. She was the best cook in our neighborhood!”
“Really now? I thought you had people to cook in you home?”
“Well, my Mom did cook when she had the time....and when she did, everyone made sure they were there!”
“You still gotta try MY cooking. I have my _own_ recipes too.” Hyde laughed.
“Well, we have plenty of time to try all of them, don’t we?”
“Yup.” Hyde sighed as he put his bowl in the sink and headed to the couch.

“Um, Haido?”
“Huh?” Hyde turned to look at Tetsu who was still sitting at the table.
“Do you think Ken and Yukki suspect something going on?”
“Well no... Ken’s kinda dense and Yukki is still the new guy.”
“Do you think Yukki saw us kissing in the studio?”
Hyde shook his head, “His back was turned...that’s why I kissed you!”
“You’re SO bad!” Tetsu said smiling.
“HA! You worry so much , Ogawa-san...” Hyde smiled back as he sat down lazily, switching on the TV.

Tetsu started to clean off the table and put all the dishes in the sink. He wanted to say something else about all this kissing that they’ve been doing, but he was too embarrassed. What if Hyde thought it was just for fun, while Tetsu thought of it as something else? So he decided to keep quiet about this matter. Hyde, on the other hand was just flipping channels until he said something.

“Tetsu, IS there something going on between us?”

Tetsu froze and looked up at Hyde who was still focusing his eyes on the TV. Tetsu then walked over towards Hyde and sat down on the couch as well, picking Snowdrop up and putting him on his lap.
“I don’t know Haido.... Is there something going on?”
Hyde glanced at Tetsu and shut off the television. He looked as if he was thinking of what to say. His eyes were traveling over the room, trying to find something to focus on.
“Uh...I guess, I...should tell you something that I’ve...been wanting to tell you for the longest time.” Hyde said as he now faced Tetsu.

Tetsu’s eyes focused on Hyde, he was getting a little nervous, but felt that this was the right time to tell Hyde how he feels first.
“Hyde, there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you for the longest time too. I have to say it first... if...if you don’t mind.”
Hyde looked at Tetsu surprised, “Oh, I...I don’t mind. Please go ahead...what is it?”

They were both nervous.

“Well....” Tetsu took a deep breath, “Hyde... from the first moment I laid eyes on you...I’ve always...been in love with you. After all these years I never found another person like you. I never found another person that made me feel the way that you make me feel. After all these years I never found the courage inside myself to tell you how I felt about you. It was really tearing me up inside because I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to tell you, until that night you got drunk.... The last time I saw you messed up like that was when Sakura left, and...it just touched me deeply that you actually needed me to be there for you.... When you were in the hospital, I really thought you were going to die and leave me forever. I was really scared that if you did die, I would have never had the chance to tell you how much I loved you.... to let you know that there is one person on this earth that loves you more than anything....” Tetsu was having the hardest time getting everything out since there was so much to say, he wasn’t sure if his words made any sense or not.

Hyde’s eyes widened in disbelief as he heard this come out of Tetsu’s mouth. Tetsu LOVED him, ever since they met?! After all these years, how can Hyde not have noticed?!!

“Tetsu...” Hyde began, “..the only reason I was drinking that night was because I was trying to cope with these feelings I was having. When I thought I was never going to love another person again, this great feeling actually grew inside me when you were with me. It was a feeling I never experienced before...and I didn’t have the courage to recognize it and tell you how I really felt either. You’ve been there for me all this time, and I didn’t even bother to notice it until I got my heart broken. What I realized is, I fell in love with you. I love you Techan...more than words can say. I have never felt this strongly for anyone before in my life. Not even with Sakura.... That’s why I was so scared to admit these feelings and come to terms with them...”

“Haido...” Tetsu said, his eyes tearing up, “Do you know how long I wished you’d say those exact words to me?”
“I didn’t know if you’d feel the same way... After taking care of me, you were dating all these beautiful girls, I got discouraged.”
“Those girls meant nothing to me... You were always in my heart Hyde....always.” Tetsu said as he put his hand on Hyde’s cheek.
“So what does all this mean?”
“I don’t know... but all I know right now is that...I love you...”
“I love you too...” Hyde said as he inched his way closer to Tetsu, “I’ve never felt this way for anyone before.”

Tetsu gently pressed his lips against Hyde’s, pushing himself closer to him. Hyde wrapped his arms around Tetsu’s neck and continued to kiss him deeply.

“Oi..” Tetsu’s muffled voice said in between his kiss.
“Nani?” Hyde replied breathless.
“I think we’re smashing Snowdrop!”
“Oh no!” Hyde said as he broke away from Tetsu.

Snowdrop quickly jumped off of Tetsu and walked to the kitchen, leaving the scene and letting them continue.

“I think we’re corrupting poor little Snowdrop!” Hyde smiled.
“Well, we ARE his parents, ne?” Tetsu laughed, standing up.
“Doko iku no?”
“I’ll be back...just wait here.”

Tetsu then headed down the hall leaving Hyde sitting there alone. Hyde’s heart was still beating from the excitement of Tetsu’s confession and his kiss. He felt so much more relief after telling Tetsu how he felt...

The phone started to ring. It was pretty late, so Hyde picked it up...

“Moshi Moshi?”
“Hi, this is Kaori. Can I speak to Tetsu?”
Hyde’s heart stopped. Why was Kaori calling Tetsu’s house?

“Hello? Can I speak to Tetsu please?” Her voice was getting impatient.
“Chotto matte...” Hyde said.
“Is this you, Hyde?”

Hyde didn’t answer and just sat there. Tetsu finally came out and walked towards Hyde.
“Who’s that Hyde?” Tetsu asked curiously.
“It’s...for you.” Hyde said as he gave the phone to Tetsu. Tetsu noticed the disturbed look on Hyde’s face.

“Hello? Who’s this?” Tetsu said, annoyed. He really wasn’t in the mood to be bothered by anyone.
“Kaori?!”
Hyde’s heart started to hurt, he couldn’t believe this. From Tetsu’s expression, he wondered if Kaori found out the truth. At first it seemed Tetsu was happy to hear from her, until he started to talk.
“Kaori, why are you calling here? You told me not to talk to you again. Our relationship is over. You ended it so it’s over.”
Hyde looked at Tetsu, surprised at this cold statement towards Kaori. It really didn’t sound like what Tetsu would normally say unless he’s really angry.
“No... Hyde has NOTHING to do with this. If something was going on with him, it’s my business, not yours... What does it matter to you anyway? Mou owari da.”
Tetsu then looked upset and shook his head at whatever Kaori was telling him on the other line.
“Do me a favor Kaori and don’t bother to call here anymore. Find someone else who can make you happy, because I sure didn’t. Jama shinai dekure!”
With that, Tetsu hung up.

“That bitch...” Tetsu sighed, “She had the nerve to bring you into this. She wanted to see if I still loved her and even if I said I did it wouldn’t change anything.”
Hyde remained quiet and looked at Tetsu. The guilt coming over him once more, “DO you love her?”
“Of course I don’t. I probably thought I did, but you made me realize that I was making a huge mistake.”
Hyde nodded and looked down at the floor, still feeling a little guilty. He felt Tetsu’s hand raise his chin up, making him look into his eyes.
“All that is changed now. I love you Hyde, and nothing can change that...”
Hyde smiled and gave Tetsu a hug.
“You just don’t know how jealous I was when you were going out with her...” Hyde laughed nervously.
“Hontou?!” Tetsu laughed, “If you told me how you felt Hyde, I would have dropped her in a second!”
Hyde felt a little better hearing this and he looked at Tetsu, both of them smiling... There was so much Hyde wanted to tell Tetsu. All those unspoken words floating in his head, but he didn’t want to ruin this moment.

“I want to give you something, Haido.” Tetsu said as he dug into his pocket, “I was meaning to give this to someone else, but I’m glad I didn’t. This was meant to be for you...”

Hyde’s face brightened up as he saw Tetsu pull out that velvet box that he saw in his drawer. It was the ring... Hyde wanted to melt as he saw Tetsu open the box, the silver band sparkled in the light as he took it out...

“It was so weird when I was buying this. It was for Kaori, but I kept wondering what it would be like it I was buying a ring for you... So, you can say I actually picked this out, thinking of you.”

“Tetsu...” Hyde said as he tried to hold back his oncoming tears. That was the same exact thing he thought when he saw the ring. Nobody has ever given him a ring straight from their heart like this. The feeling was just too overwhelming.

“I want to give this ring to you Haido, to show you how I feel about you. Please keep this with you forever.”
“I will...” Hyde nodded as he quickly wiped the tears from his cheeks.
“Let’s just hope it fits, ne!” Tetsu grinned as he slipped the tiny ring onto Hyde’s ring finger with ease. It fit perfectly!

“I knew it was meant for you... you don’t think it’s too girly, ne?” Tetsu smiled.
“I don’t care, Tetsu!!” Hyde said as he hugged Tetsu tightly, “Even if it didn’t fit...even if you didn’t give me a ring, I’d still know you love me.”
“So...I guess there IS something between us then...”
Hyde grinned, “There is!”

Both Hyde and Tetsu grinned at each other once more and started to kiss each other passionately, their hands quickly running over each other’s bodies as they embraced. Tetsu then interrupted, “Let’s go in the room, ne?”
“Saa...ikimashou ne...” Hyde smiled as he got up and walked into the bedroom. Tetsu then got up and started to turn everything off in the living room. Leaving the cat enjoying its dinner in the kitchen.

Tetsu felt a little nervous going down the hallway to his room, but he was excited as well for this was the first time both he and Hyde were officially together and alone. He entered the room and found Hyde sitting at the edge of the bed. Tetsu then shut the door behind him and just stood there. Hyde got up and approached Tetsu, running his hand through his hair. Tetsu closed his eyes and smiled at Hyde’s touch.

“You’re shaking...” Hyde giggled softly, “shimpai shinaide...”

Tetsu’s eyes opened and he looked at Hyde.

“I’m ...nervous, Haido. I’ve never done this before...”
“I see...” Hyde whispered in Tetsu’s ear, “just do what you feel... there’s no wrong way to make love to a person.”
Tetsu smiled and wrapped his arms around Hyde.
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Of course... I’ve been wanting to...but, if you feel rushed, just tell me...”
“No...I don’t feel rushed...at all.” Tetsu said as he finally kissed Hyde, making him run out of breath. His tongue gently ran over Hyde’s lips until they finally entered the tiny opening of his mouth, churning his tongue around Hyde’s.

Hyde led Tetsu slowly to the bed, pushing him down on it lightly as he fell on top of him, kissing him deeply. He then pulled off and started to undo Tetsu’s shirt, running his hands over his smooth flat chest. Hyde started to gently trail his tongue over the warm flesh and worked his way down from Tetsu’s neck to the plain of his stomach. Tetsu was starting to sigh his pleasure as Hyde began to bit and suck his skin softly. His lips traveling at such a fast pace, getting Tetsu more excited. Tetsu then felt Hyde’s hands travel down to the area below his belt, he let out a soft cry as Hyde finally ran his hand over his member. It wanted out and Hyde knew it too, so he started to undo Tetsu’s pants.

“Touch me, Tetsu...” Hyde whispered in Tetsu’s ear.

Tetsu smiled breathlessly, looking up at Hyde. He sat up and met Hyde’s mouth, tasting him with his tongue. Hyde was so overwhelmed by Tetsu’s deep kisses, the more he kissed him, the more Hyde felt out of control. Hyde grabbed some of Tetsu’s hair and pulled Tetsu closer to him as their kiss deepened. Tetsu slowly pulled Hyde’s thin shirt off, revealing Hyde’s delicate chest. He ran his hands over Hyde, making him sigh as he ran his lips down Hyde’s neck... leaving wet kisses down his throat. Hyde tilted his head back, letting Tetsu kiss and suck his whole neck and do whatever he pleased as his hands ran down Tetsu’s shoulders to his back.

“Techan...” Hyde sighed as he pushed himself closer to Tetsu, both his thighs locked on opposite sides of Tetsu’s waist. He could feel himself harden against Tetsu’s body and was hoping the bassist wouldn’t notice this slight embarrassment. Tetsu started to run his tongue down Hyde’s chest, concentrating on Hyde’s delicate pink nipples... gently stroking them with his warm tongue.

“Mmmm...” Hyde moaned at the feeling, he had no words to describe HOW good it felt. He just continued running his fingers through Tetsu’s soft hair, pulling him closer, feeling his breath against his skin. The heat between their bodies increasing.

Suddenly Hyde pushed Tetsu back down on the bed to continue undoing Tetsu’s pants. Tetsu looked up at him and smiled nervously.

“Hazukashii garanai de... relax...” Hyde said as he lightly kissed Tetsu on the mouth. He finally got rid of Tetsu’s pants and threw them aside. Before Tetsu could say anything, he felt Hyde’s hands go straight into his boxers, touching the most delicate part of his body.
“Aah aaaah!” Tetsu half screamed in shock, the feeling of Hyde’s smooth hands right on him were incredible.
“Am I hurting you?” Hyde asked, worried.
“Nn...no...not at all...” Tetsu was speechless and his breathing increased. He pulled Hyde down on top of him and started to kiss him. His tongue moving in and out of his mouth at the rate of Hyde’s hand movements.

Tetsu felt himself harden up, all the excitement surging through him. He was ready to explode at any moment, but Hyde didn’t seem like he was finished just yet. Pulling off Tetsu’s boxers completely, Hyde couldn’t take his eyes off of Tetsu’s arousal. Tetsu looked up at Hyde curiously, the sweat forming at the sides of his face.

“What’s wrong?” Tetsu asked.
“Shh...” Hyde started to smile as he met up with Tetsu’s mouth once again, giving him a kiss, “Nothing’s wrong... everything is perfect.”
Tetsu smiled, but he was hurting so bad and wanted release. He closed his eyes, taking the pain... Hyde saw this and knew how much Tetsu was aching.

“Techan....open your eyes.” Hyde whispered, a slight smile forming his mouth. Tetsu looked up at Hyde, his eyes clouded with ecstasy as he saw Hyde at the most sensitive part of his body.
“Haido...” Tetsu said quietly as Hyde put his finger on Tetsu’s soft lips, trailing it down his chin, chest and stopping at his abdomen. Hyde then replaced his finger with his mouth, leaving a hot open kiss right below the leader’s bellybutton. Tetsu bit his lip at the feeling and arched his hips up.

Hyde then wrapped his lips around the tip and started to lick the length of the bassist’s shaft as his hands gently caressed Tetsu’s soft thighs. Tetsu jerked slightly at the amazing feeling. Hyde continued to move his head up and down, letting his tongue move over the length, leaving it wet with his saliva. His mouth was full of Tetsu and he couldn’t believe he was actually doing this to him. But his mind had no time to think and he proceeded, moving faster, grabbing Tetsu’s hips with both hands for more leverage.

“uhhhhh....motto hayaku...Haido...onegai...”

Tetsu moaned loader as he grabbed the sheets tightly from under him, trying to take in all the immense pleasure at once, but it was impossible. Tetsu’s head was literally spinning as he started to rock his hips to the rhythm of Hyde’s mouth.

Finally, a load of warm bitter liquid shot into Hyde’s mouth causing the vocalist to choke at first, the liquid running down his chin until he broke his mouth away and spit it up. Tetsu started to breathe rapidly at the release. The liquid slowly spurted out onto the bed and all over Tetsu’s thighs. Hyde also had it all over him, as he was trying to catch his breath.

A dreamy smile spread over Tetsu’s face as he met up with Hyde again. His mouth covering Hyde’s completely, giving him another long kiss.
“I love you so much...” Tetsu said softly as he started to kiss Hyde’s face lightly, his warm breath making Hyde’s skin tingle.
“I love you, Tetsu...with all my heart.” Hyde said breathlessly, wrapping his arms around Tetsu.
“Will you stay with me...always?” Tetsu looked at Hyde deeply in the eyes, caressing his face.
“Who says I’m going to leave?” Hyde grinned, revealing the ring on his hand, “Zutto isshoni itai...”
Tetsu couldn’t help but smile and kiss Hyde’s hand repeatedly, showing his happiness as Hyde laughed softly. They were finally together. What they both dreamed of was finally happening and there was no turning back....
Their lips met again as they both fell onto the bed continuing this unbelievable experience...an experience they will never forget.

Before they knew it, the door bell rang.

“Oh God...” Tetsu said as he sat up quickly.
“What....what is it?” Hyde asked unaware.
“I invited Ken and Yukki over to discuss the rest of the song.... I completely forgot about it! DAMMIT!! I’m so sorry Haido. Tetsu screwed up again...” Tetsu said as he kissed Hyde again.
Hyde started to giggle, “This is SO insane!”
“We better hurry up! Hurry, put something on! Hopefully I can get them out of here soon.”

The doorbell started to ring repeatedly.

“Ne...do you think they’re home?” Ken asked, looking around.
“Well, Tetsu’s car WAS in the drive way...” Yukki said, munching on another Pockey Stick, “Hmmm...Tetsu did tell us to come at this time, desho?”
“Well, let’s wait a few more minutes and see if someone answers... You never know, Tetsu’s probably in the bathroom taking a shit while Hyde’s fast asleep!”
Yukki started to laugh really hard, “Yeah, don’tcha hate when that happens?”
“Of course!” Especially when there’s no toilet paper there for you and you’re stuck on the toilet helpless... then you gotta hope someone would be kind enough to bring you toilet paper.... OR you do the desperate thing --waddle out with you pants down and try to find some!”
Yukki fell on the ground laughing in hysterics as Ken laughed as well.

“You know, there was this one time this happened to me in a pubic restroom and....”
“Stop!! Stoooop!!!” Yukkie begged as he was laughing, “I’m gonna piss my pants!! Shutup Ken-Chan!”
“No! Lemme tell you what happened!” Ken laughed holding his stomach, “I was the only one in the rest room and there was no toilet paper in the stall, so I was calling out for someone and no one answered... so guess what I did?”
“What?!” Yukki asked, trying to calm himself.
“I crawled to the next stall!” Ken laughed, “but it doesn’t end there... that stall had no toilet paper either! SO I tried the next one....NONE.”
“So what did you do?”
“Well, I walked out to the sink and got some paper towels...while I was doing that, a group of girls walked in on me!!”
“What the hell?!”
“Yeah, that’s what I said! They screamed and closed their eyes saying, ‘Iyaaaa! Iyaaa! Mukou itte yo~!! Kono Sukebe!! HENTAI!!!!!’ Ken said as he was imitating the girl’s screams.
“Why the hell were they in the men’s bathroom, then?!”
“That’s the thing....they weren’t!” I was in the ladies bathroom because the men’s toilets were out of order!!” Ken started to laugh hard and Yukki fell to the ground grasping his stomach again.
“You are so DUMB, Ken-Chan!!” Yukki laughed.
“Well, when a guy has to go...we HAVE to GO! Besides, those girls were lucky to see me. Not too many people get to see a celebrity like myself with their pants down!” Ken winked.
Yukki just shook his head smiling, not believing what Ken had just told him.

Finally Ken and Yukki heard the door unlock and Tetsu opened the door with only a bathrobe on.
“What’s so funny?! I heard you guys laughing all the way from the bathroom!” he said, smiling.

Ken and Yukki looked at each other and started to laugh really hard as Tetsu let them inside...
“Ne, why are you laughing?” Tetsu asked curiously.
“Nothing! It’s nothing! I was just telling Yukki one of my crazy stories.”
“One of those, eh?” Tetsu smiled, “Why don’t you guys have a seat? I’ll get you something to drink.”
“I hope we didn’t interrupt you Tetsu...” Yukki said.
“Oh... no you didn’t... I mean, I kinda forgot you guys were coming....but, no...you didn’t interrupt anything.” Tetsu said nervously.

“Kombanwa!” Hyde finally appeared and Tetsu turned around quickly. Hyde was wearing his pajamas and smiled big as he saw Ken and Yukki sitting in the living room.
“Haido! Did you just wake up?” Ken asked.
“Nn...no... I was awake. I was just in the bathroom the whole time.”
“Nani? But Tetsu said he was in the bathroom.”
“Ah...yes, Tetsu WAS in the bathroom.... I was just in there brushing my teeth.”
“Oh...” Ken nodded.
“Douzo...” Tetsu said as he handed everyone a cup of tea.
“Ah Tetsu, do you have any Coca Cola by any chance?”
“Um, I don’t think I do...”
“I think there’s one left, let me check!” Hyde said, heading towards the kitchen.
“WAH! Is THAT Snowdrop?!” Ken shouted as he pointed to the fuzzy white cat passing by.
“Yup...” Tetsu smiled.
“He got so big from the last time I saw him.... what have you been feeding him?!”
“L’Ar~Can....” Tetsu joked.

“Here you go Yukki. We had a couple of these hiding in the back.” Hyde said as he handed Yukki his Coke.
“Ah! Arigatou!!” Yukki said, smiling.
“Haido, are you okay?” Ken asked curiously.
“Huh...why?”
“Well, it looks as if you have some sort of rash or bruises on you neck... what happened?”
Tetsu’s eyes blanked out and he started to sweat... Ken noticed something that could give them right away...

Hyde put his hand on his neck...he didn’t realize that Tetsu gave him....HICKEYS?!!! His mind was racing for an excuse... as Ken and Yukki looked at him, waiting for an answer.
