Synopsis: Sequel to The Sextape fic. The sex tape Shinya found while searching for his belongs to Toshiya. But in order to see what kind of drama it caused, first Toshiya has to learn that the tape is missing.
Comments: I’m so sorry this is very slow. But I have to adapt to Toshiya’s ignorance. I mean, he hasn’t even found out the tape is missing! Gah! XD Sorry for any misspellings ^^


Chapter 3


It was late in the evening and Shinya was lying down on the couch, reading his favorite manga. Once in a few minutes, he would pick up the mug on the table and took few sips of his green tea.

Die sighed and pouted, “You are no fun at all”

Shinya ignored and continued reading. The red head was lying on top of him. Die pouted and turned around so his chin was on Shinya’s chest. The drummer winced slightly but kept on reading.

“Shinchan… “Die cooed, but there was still no reply. So Die wiggled more and stretched out his arms and legs to get a reaction. Shinya held back a frustrated sigh as the couch made a squeak. The red head started to poke his chest.

“Ever since you go to the gym and gain muscles, your body is so nice to lie on. I mean, it used to be sooo bony the ribs were protruding and they poked my head so badly I used to have headaches after-”

Shinya slammed the book shut. And he stared at Die.

The red head grinned, “Ooh, am I finally getting your attention?” he mouthed.

Shinya glared at him, “We’re lovers now. You can quit the teasing to get my attention” he retorted. “There’s nothing wrong with my chest”

“Yeah there’s nothing wrong now, but it used to be…” Die used his index finger to poke the back of his head and winced exaggeratedly. Shinya narrowed his eyes and sat up, causing Die to stumble, “Hey! You almost broke my neck!” the red head got up and coughed.

“There really is nothing wrong with my chest! I have pictures to prove it!” Shinya huffed. Die gave him the grin, only to add fuel to fire.

“You fell in love with me before I started working out” Shinya lifted an eyebrow and looked at Die. The red head shook his head. Shinya gave him a quizzical look and waited. Die pulled him closer and wrapped an arm around his shoulder.

“It’s true that I was mesmerized by your beauty” Die said, looking into his eyes. “I still am now, everyday of my life. But I fell for what’s in here” Die said, poking at his chest.

The corner of Shinya’s mouth curled up a little but he held back the smile. Die saw it and gave Shinya a knowing look, which caused Shinya to blush.

“Yes, you seem like a cold person but once I ignored all the glares, the make up and the image, I found this really good heart” Die whispered, his palm now on Shinya’s chest. “I was having the worst time of my life, I had nobody to ask for help. I thought I was gonna kill myself or something”

Shinya touched the hand on his chest

“But one day, there was a knock on the door. I opened it and there you were, standing on the other side looking as composed as ever” Die sighed and smiled sadly, “Your calmness washed away all the troubles. You know the nightmares and stuff…” he trailed off.

Shinya nodded and stroked Die’s cheek, “You’re all safe now”

“No, I’m not!” Die suddenly got up and dumped himself on top of Shinya.

“Ack! What are you doing?!” The drummer yelped as Die tried to snatch the manga from his hand. “Seriously! Trust you to ruin romantic moments!” he said furiously.

“Come on Shin ai! You’ve got all the time in the world to read it!” Die managed to grab Shinya’s arm

“It’s new!” Shinya exclaimed, “Don’t WE have all the time in the world too?!” he blurted out.

…

Die paused and looked down at the younger man.

Shinya started to blush, realizing what he just said.

“Shinya …” Die whispered, his eyes looking at the drummer intensely, “Masaka…”

“Huh?”

The red head placed a palm on his own chest and faked a gasp, “Did you just purpose to me?!”

“THAT’S IT!” Shinya shouted and pushed Die with all his strength. He stood up and saw the other one falling on the floor. He opened his mouth to give Die a good fire up, finger already pointing accusingly when all the sudden the red head widened his eyes and raised a hand.

“Shhsh!!!”

Shinya looked at him weirdly

“Did you hear that?” Die whispered.

Shinya joined his eyebrows and listened in

“Did you hear that…?”

“Huh?”

“Shh! That sound… yeah there. Heard that?” Die asked. He shut his eyes and listened, “That drrrr…drrrrr..dddrrrrr sound. It came from …” the red head stood up and looked around the apartment. “Kitchen”

Shinya’s eyes snapped open

“HUH?!”

“That weird sound is coming from the kitchen! It sounds like the fridge!” Die exclaimed.

Shinya managed to grab Die’s arm as he walked toward the kitchen, “Wait!!! You’re just imagining things!!!” he exclaimed. Die looked at him weirdly, “But I heard it!!”

The drummer shook his head panickly, “No. I didn’t hear a thing!”

Die joined his eyebrows, “But …” he pointed at the kitchen direction. Shinya calmed down, cleared his throat and patted his shoulders, “Nothing’s wrong. You … were hearing things. That sound could be from ANYWHERE” he gave a reason.

“I need to wash my face” Die sighed tiredly and walked to the bedroom. Shinya exhaled and waited until he heard the sound of water running in the bathroom.

Thank God Die had always trusted him.

It’s moments like this when being trustworthy came in handy.

Shinya dashed to the kitchen and was greeted by Miyu. “Hey there good girl” he patted her head before pressing his cheek against the wall. He peered into the gap behind the fridge.

That thing was still there. But the duct tape gave away so it fell. Shinya fumed as he saw the tape leaned toward the fridge. Whenever the fridge vibrated it would make the drrrr sound Die was referring to. Miyu started to make noise and Shinya placed a finger on his lips.

Slowly, and carefully, he pulled the tape up.

Where should he hide it now?

Shinya looked around the apartment. His eyes caught a pile of tapes on floor. And the box on the table. Die walked out of the bedroom right after he placed ALL the tapes into the box.

“… what you doing?” Die asked.

Shinya gave him a smile, “Well, I thought we should take a break from the home video thing” he replied, fingers arranging the tapes neatly.

“Where are you taking them to?” Die asked

“I’m just going to … put them all in this box and keep it away from any danger” he replied, looking up at Die, “Just to be safe”

Die thought for a while before nodding, “Sure. Let me help you seal it” he crouched down and winked at Shinya as the drummer handed him a pair of scissors and a roll of duct tape.

Shinya winked back at him

“You sure you have it??”

“Yes. Why are you asking me these questions?”

Kaoru lit a cigarette and turned to look at Toshiya. Not very comfortable with the stare, the younger man fidgeted a little.

“I sense something’s wrong” Kaoru finally spoke. Toshiya took another puff of his cigarette, “What do you mean?” he asked. He couldn’t understand why Kaoru would be soo worried about the sex tape. He was sure he had the tape. He just couldn’t be bothered to look for it.

But then…

Kaoru always had a hunch on things. Like an instinct. And he was always right about them.

Toshiya gulped. Now he’s not very sure

“I feel that …” Kaoru continued, “Something huge is going to happen to the band … Something WRONG”

Looking at Kaoru, the younger man suddenly shivered a little. It was bad for Kaoru, their supposed leader, to say something like that. Anyone who knew them well would be scared too. It was like a curse if Kaoru said something bad would happen, because then something bad would really happen.

“Are … are you sure?” Toshiya brought the cigarette to his lips, fingers shaking a little, ‘What kind of bad things?”

Kaoru’s eyebrows furrowed a little, “When I first found out about the missing sex tape, I wasn’t worried. I thought yeah, it wouldn’t happen. It’s not ours. But then last Friday, I was sitting down in my house, all alone, I felt some kind of uneasiness … it felt like someone was there before, like someone came to my house or something”

Toshiya’s eyes widened, “Did anyone …?” he asked.

“Well, yes. Die. But I let him in. He said something about … porn magazines”

“Oh!” the younger man laughed, “Yes. those magazines” he suddenly remembered Shinya’s reaction.

“Did he pass them to you already?”

Toshiya paused, “Huh?”

“The magazines. He said you wanted them” Kaoru started to look at Toshiya suspiciously.

The bassist scratched his head in confusion, “When was … oh!” he laughed, “Die sometimes talks like he’s on crack cocaine!” he stated and laughed more. What magazine, Toshiya thought.

Kaoru studied the younger man’s expression. Then realization came to him.

“You don’t have to be embarrassed I found out about the magazines” Kaoru spoke, his lips forming a smile. Toshiya looked at him weirdly. “I know it’s for your young cousin” the guitarist continued.

Toshiya looked at Kaoru as if he was crazy … whhaaaat…?

Kaoru’s face looked somewhat … superior, “We all know how it feels like to be seventeen, don’t we?” he stuck out his chest, taking another puff of the cigarette, “It’s very difficult to adapt to your maturity once you reach certain age. I mean, you just know things”

Toshiya wanted to laugh but he didn’t know what was there to laugh about. Kaoru looked like he’s on crack, he thought. What kind of crap was he talking about, what cousin? The bassist shook his head, eyes turning to the sight in front of him. They were taking puffs in the balcony. Everyone else had gone home. He stayed because Kaoru wanted to talk to him about ‘something’.

“Anyways, I want you to be careful” Kaoru cleared his throat, “It did feel like someone broke into my house. Everyone is whispering sex tape rumors, in no time I’m sure the people up there will ask for my clarity about the situation. Now I know it’s not ours. I can easily answer it but not when I’m not sure if your copy is safe”

Toshiya nodded, “But it IS safe with me. It’s in my house. Kaoru you get so worked out sometimes. Maybe it’s just a hunch” he said, lifting his shoulders, “Maybe it means nothing”

The older man shook his head, “I wish I have your optimism. Something is going to happen to us. Something that can change our lives. I don’t know what it is …” he trailed off, fingers forming a fist. “But I have a feeling it has something to do with the tape” he looked straight at Toshiya.

“Kaoru … calm down” the bassist patted Kaoru’s shoulder. The older man thought for a while. “You know what. I will calm down”

“Great!” Toshiya exclaimed and smiled.

“If you show me the tape” Kaoru replied firmly, “It will calm my nerves”

Toshiya’s face fell and he rolled his eyes

“You don’t trust me, do you?”

“No, I don’t” Kaoru answered too quickly, “I immediately thought of you”

“That kinda hurts” Toshiya pouted, “You could be wrong about the hunch thing”

Kaoru gave him a look, “I’m Kaoru. I know things”

Toshiya stubbed out his cigarette and nodded slowly, “Okay. If you really believe the hunch … and if you really need to see the tape, I will find it for you” he muttered.

Kaoru’s eyes snapped open, “FIND?!”

“No!” Toshiya quickly replied, “I mean, find you .. and show it to you” he finished off the sentence uncertainly.

Kaoru’s eyes started to study his face, “Are you sure Toshiya? Are you sure the tape is with you at all?”

“YES” he answered firmly, “It’s with me, it’s safe”

He just had to remember where he put it

Kaoru nodded, “Cool. Now go home, it’s getting late” he said, patting Toshiya’s back.

Now he really needed to find it.

Crap.
