Hisashi opened the door to the toppest floor of the hotel. Cool night breeze welcomed him as he stepped out into the night. The hotel's swimming pool was empty, not even hotel's employee was there.

From behind him, Jiro stepped out. "What are we going to do here?" the blonde asked.

"Nothing," Hisashi answered. "Well, I just want to have some fresh air" He walked towards a small clearing near the low wall there, almost hidden by the plotted plants there. He sat down and sighed, leaning back to the wall.

Jiro stood in front of him. "I thought you were drunk"

Hisashi pulled the bassist to seat next to him. "Me? Nah, that amount of alcohol couldn't possibly knock me out"

"That was a *lot* amount of alcohol, I tell you"

"Not for me. But yeah, maybe it was a lot alcohol for them afterall," he said, refering to their band mates who were drop dead drunk in the bar… or maybe in their own hotel room if they managed to pull themselves together and actually walked to their respective room.

"And to think that it is me who is supposed to be deliriously drunk tonight…" Jiro muttered.

"Why didn't you then?"

"You know I can't take too much alcohol," he pouted.

The guitarist chuckled lightly. "You are just scared of being drunk, remembering that last time you got drunk, right, Jiro-chan"

"You could take advantage of me if I were drunk"

"Like I need to get you drunk to get into that. You know you just can't resist me"

Jiro throw a disapproving glare at his lover. "You are being a tease"

"That's why you love me, ne…"

Jiro grunted a little. "Count on me to still like you eventhough you have a lot of bad habits""

"Like you don't," Hisashi snorted.

"Name one if you dare"

"You fuss to much when I smoke to much"

"That's a bad thing?" Jiro raised his brows.

"More precisely, that's annoying"

Jiro pouted. "I just care. You really could be sick if you smoke too much"

Hisashi laughed lightly as he put his arms around Jiro, drawing him closer to him. "That's why I don't really mind it… and any of your bad habits too. They're just loveable now"

Jiro snuggled closer to Hisashi. "I still don't like your smoking habit… but I guess you are not really Hisashi if you don't smoke"

Hisashi laughed. Jiro was just too adorable sometimes. "Thank you for being damn understanding"

There was a comfortable silence hanging between them. Jiro looked up to the sky and smiled a little as he found so many stars in the sky, twinkling merrily. He felt a childlike glee, looking at those stars. It wasn't often that he could see so many beautiful stars like this.

"So," Hisashi began again. "Tell me how much you like your birthday party"

"*That* was a birthday party?" Jiro frowned. "That didn't really feel like it…"

"I know," Hisashi sighed. "Tell Tekko, Takkun, Masahide, Toshi and Shigeo about that… The mood was plain wrong"

"What mood did you have in mind anyway?"

"I dunno… I guess I was in the mood for something… romantic"

"You just couldn't, by anyway, expecting a romantic mood with them around"

"Yeah, that was a mistake in planning. Maybe we should just have some romantic moment together after we can get rid of them…"

"We have get rid of them…" Jiro reminded.

"Yeah"

"And somehow this doesn't really feel romantic…"

"I know"

"You are strange, Hisashi"

"I know that too, Jiro-chan"

"I love you anyway"

Hisashi grinned. "That, I know very well"

"You seem to know me too well, ne, Hisa-chan…"

"Hmmm, what can I say? Let's just say that it's probably because we were born for each other"

Jiro turned to look at his blue-haired lover. "… Tonomura, that is the sappy lline of the day…," he grinned. "I don't know that you are that sappy""

"Well, I did that on purpose," he shrugged.

"What purpose?"

"What, can't you guess?"

"Hmmm," Jiro's eyes were twinkling mischievously. "Could it be something like this?"

He put a hand on Hisashi's cheek and kissed him deeply, parting his lips without any hesitation, an invitation that was never to be resisted by Hisashi and he plunged his tounge into the warm cave of his lover mouth, rubbing, massaging Jiro's tounge with his own and his lover soon responding.

They broke when their lungs threatened to blow, a bit breathless from the kiss. A faint blush graced Jiro's cheeks and Hisashi just couldn'r resist stealing another quick kiss, before settling back.

"Something like that?" Jiro grinned.

"Actually I was expecting something much more than that… but since it is too much risk doing it in open place like this, so I guess for now, the kiss would do"

Jiro chuckled. "So now, Hisa-chan, where is the present?" he asked cheerfully.

"A present?"

"Yeah! From you! All the other have given me presents but you"

Hisashi looked thoughtful for a moment, but then his expression grew bright again, added with some touch of seductive expression. "The present is… myself"

"Yourself?"

"Yep. I'm the best gift you could possible have for your birthday" he grinned, stealing another kiss from those pouty lips. "Aren't you agree?"

"I guess…"

" 'You *guess*??"

"Hmm… how will I know that you will always be around?"

"Jiro-chan, I will always be around until you are sick of me"

"I'm serious"

"Me too. I'll be around as long as you want me to be around"

"Sweet, ne, Hisa-chan? Now what if it is *you* who get tired of me, instead me getting tired of you?"

Hisashi smiled fondly and hugged the bassist even tighter. "Jiro-chan, as long as you keep those cheerful, bright, cute, sexy, adorable, just plain irresistable attitude of yours… I doubt II will get tired of you"

Jiro smiled and kissed Hisashi lightly. "Keep your words. I'm gonna put them against you"

"I know," Hisashi said. "You're always like that"

"Adorable, ne?" the blondie giggled a little.

"You betcha. Anyway, wanna go to the room now? I think I have enough fresh air"

"Why, Hisa, already up doing the nastiest?" Jiro laughed.

"Is that so obvious?" Hisashi laughed. "No, actually I'm just thinking that you might be feeling cold"

"Nah, it's okay… I still want to watch the stars"

"Okay. Then I'm going to stare at the stars too"

"You don't have to bother"

"I don't. Just want to"

"I love you, you know that, right?"

"I know. I love you more" He kissed the top of Jiro's head lovingly. "Otanjyoubi omedetou, ne, Jiro-chan…"

"Thanks. And you know what? You are right. This is a great birthday. I've got the best present"

Hisashi smiled.

The wind blew ever so softly, caressing their skin gently. Hisashi looked up at the sky, finding himself liking the view of the river of stars up there. And the full moon who was so beautiful, with its soft bluish light shining down serenely to the rest of the world below.

He was so absorbed in the view and some random thought,, about him, about Jiro. The next thing he knew,, he felt Jiro's head rested comfortably on the crook of his shoulder, his soft blonde hair carressing his neck softly.

Jiro had fallen asleep.

Hisashi didn't have the heart to wake him up. Jiro looked just happy where he was.

So instead Hisashi touched his cheek to the top of Jiro's head, leaning his head there. Indeed, it felt comfortable, sitting together in the place where there was no one else but them, with the moon and stars up there, watching, accompanying them… hearing Jiro's even, soft breathing.

So maybe he would fall asleep there too. He didn't care what would happen tomorrow. Afterall, tomorrow all the band members would probably be still busy with their hangover.

And if someone actually caught them there… he didn't care. He just… didn't care. He just want to enjoy this, the feeling, the mood, the situation.

"Otanjyoubi omedetou, ne, Jiro-chan," he said again, whispering into the unruly soft mass of Jiro's dark blonde hair. "Oyasumi…"
