"Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded"
-Runaway Train, by Soul Asylum

--------------------

A deep sigh.
That man was talking again.
Normally Isshi's voice would not annoy the blond guitarist as it was
at the moment, but when he rambled on and on to the crowd, Shin was easily bored.
It was the end of a great live, the last in the tour, and Isshi, of course, seemed to have to
tell the audience how grand they were.

And they were grand, no worries.

But if he didn't shut up soon, Shin figured he would throw that
random little bun that was thrown onto stage at the man's head again.
He wanted a shower, damnit, and he didn't want to just sit there, to
the right of the drums, and wait for the vocalist to finish talking.
He sighed.

Where was that pretty bassist he had been watching all night?
Who he'd been watching since the band was formed.
He shrugged to himself, puffing a little puff of air to get his bangs out of his eyes.

"Ne..."
Shin looked to his side, only to be confronted with two deep brown
eyes looking at him happily.
"Nao...?"

The bassist gave a small grin, sitting down next to Shin.
"Bored?"
Shin nodded, playing with the hem of his shirt.
"Ne, why don't you smile? The fans would love you if you did..."
Nao's sweet voice called from his side, as he felt a warmth lean against his side.
"If I told you i forgot how to smile, would you believe me?"
"Depends."
"Depends? What kind of answer is that!"
"I see that grin perking at you lips! SMILE, boy,
SMILE!" Nao poked him in the side.
Shin gave a small grin, standing up, bringing Nao up with him.

"I wonder how long he'll talk?" Nao whispered, eyeing Isshi.
"However long Akiya lets him, i think." Shin eyed the red haired
guitarist who was sitting on the other side of the stage.

"Ne, Shin-chan?"
"'Shin-chan'?" Shin quirked an eyebrow. "What?"
"What would make you smile? Here on stage?"
The two ignored the glances from the fans, whom were starting to pay
attention to them, rather than the vocalist, who was starting to notice.

"I don't know..." Shin answered in a low whisper, turning towards Nao.
"What if i did this..." Nao whispered, catching the guitarist's t- shirt collar, and pulling him
closer. He could feel eyes of the fans on them, but he didn't right care at the moment.

//I can't believe i'm doing this...//

After a moment of watching for Shin's reaction, Nao placed a small,
short, kiss on the shocked guitarist's lips.
Nao grinned, when he pulled away, a slight blush on his cheeks.

"Didn't make you smile? How sad." Nao smiled, putting an arm around
Shin's shoulders. Shin looked down at his shoes, face turning a rather
grand shade of ruby red, acting more shy than usual.
Some of the fans had started to laugh at Shin's shy act, loving the
way the smaller man fidgeted around in his spot.
Nao grinned, liking the reaction he got from both Shin, the crowd, and Isshi.

The vocalist looked pissed. At least he'd stopped talking.

They all took a group bow, after throwing random objects out at the
crowd, and hurriedly scurried into the backstage.

Would they get showers?
Would they get to change out of their outfits?

Hell no.

--------------------------------------

After a bus ride from hell back to their hotel (for, HORROR, they had
been able to get a hotel room.), they all trundled into their one rather

cramped room. (Yes, one room.)

There was a fight for the bathroom, with the winner being Nao. Shin
had taken his shower beforethe fight had started, thankful for his fast shower capabilities.
Shin was just happy that Isshi hadn't bitten his head off, and that the sleeping arrangements had
been sorted out.
Isshi & Akiya would share one, Nao & Shin another, and Izumi had gotten the shit bed.
The couch.

"Hey Shin, what the hell did he _do_ to you to make you so flustered?"

Akiya grinned, plopping down on the side of the bed where Shin was already
wrapped up in blankets.
"Oh he only kissed him on stage, in front of all those fans."

Isshi called from where he sat on one of the beds.
Shin blushed some more. Akiya smiled.

"Just keep it down tonight, i want to be able to sleep."

Izumi was promptly hit in the head with a rock hard pillow thrown by Akiya.
"Don't be mean, drummer boy!"
Isshi laughed, changing out of his stage cloths.
"Better listen to him man, Aki-kun knows his stuff."

Izumi was bitter.
Damn couch.

Shin grinned, snuggling down into the sheets, pushing Akiya off the
bed in the movement.

He was asleep before he heard Isshi help the red head up from his
place on the floor.

--------------------------------------

Nao smiled, watching the sleeping guitarist before him.
//He's so cute...//
The other band members had fallen to sleep earlier.

To think that he had actually kissed him... and on stage, too.
He never thought he had it in him.

Crawling under the sheets, the now shy bassist got as near as he
could to the man he was attached to. His cute, shy, tiny, little guitarist.
His breath on Shin's back tickled, as the man moved in his sleep to
roll over.

So that he was facing the now embarrassed Nao.
Whom was about an inch away.
And now had his eyes wide open.

Silence.

"Can you help me remember how to smile?" a quiet, shy whisper came
from the guitarist, as he ran a smooth finger down Nao's cheek, down to his chin, to
tilt it up just a touch.

Soft kiss, bonding kiss.

Pulling away, Shin nestled into the bassist's chest, his arms
wrapping around the body in front of him.
Nao's turn to be shocked.

A quiet whisper was coming once more from the usually happy sounding guitarist.
Nao moved a little, wrapping his arms around Shin, putting his ear nearer to the mouth.

"...I love you, Nao..." Nao's face automatically turned bright red, as he buried his face in
the blond hair in front of him.

"The fanservice showed you that?"
"No....Just pieced the puzzle together. Why, was it a fake fanservice?

Just service for the fans?"
Nao shook his head, raising Shin's chin to look him in the eye.
"Never." and kissed the tip of his nose. "And I'll try my best to
help you remember how to smile."

Shin gave a small, shy smile, making Nao smile as well.
"That's better...." Nao whispered, crawling a little lower on the bed
so he could rest his head on the smaller man's chest.

"Oyasumi, Nao-chan..."
"Oyasumi, koi."
Nao smiled at Shin's shy reaction to that.

More blushing.

Shin was almost in dream world, when simple words
brought him out again.

"I love you too, Shin."
