Pairing: Mikaru&Syu
Rating: 17+
Genre: romance
Warnings: -
Note: Denka knows that Mikaru is a womanizer, but he finds himself in his arms again and again.
What will happen first? Mikaru realising, how much he's hurting Denka (and himself) or Denka pushing away Mikaru for good?
Syu was half-laying in the armchair, leaning on one armrest with his legs over the other, scrolling through Twitter, when Tetsuto entered the dressing room. He sat down on the sofa and sighed, pressing himself into the fabric of the sofa.
"What's going on?" asked Syu, looking at him.
"Erina" replied Tetsuto. "Maybe I should tell Kei that he's hitting one me?"
"Our dear guitarist is just like that. Don't worry about him, he won't seduce you" Syu smiled slightly. "He likes to pretend that he has a crush on someone and then burst out laughing and say that it was just a test. It took some time before Kei realized that in his case it wasn't a joke. It's Erina's fault, of course."
"Isn't Kei mad at him?"
"Of course that he's mad" Syu laughed loudly. "But usually it ends with Erina's wallet being empty because of gummies and his ass hurts."
"And this is really the norm?" asked the bassist once again.
Syu nodded.
"I wonder what his fangirls think about it..."
"He doesn't play like this with his fangirls" replied Syu. "And he doesn't like to look for fanboys in the crowd of girls."
"What do you mean?"
"He likes boys. Only" explained the drummer. "He has an aversion to women in general. It's probably because of all those fangirls, who want to adopt him and don't treat him like a grown man, but a child."
"I understand" Tetsuto nodded. "But Mikaru seems to like fangirls very much."
"Yeah, he likes them..." Syu stiffened at the mere mention of how greedy the vocalist is for the touch of his fans. "He very likes them..."
"Actually, Syu... Are you a couple or not?" asked Tetsuto. "You know, to be honest, I'm confused about your relationship."
"Sometimes we are, sometimes we're not" replied Futaba. "That depends on how long I can stand his behaviour."
"What behaviour?"
"Let's say that Masaya is... specific. And I don't have enough patience to support all his ideas."
"How many times have you broken up?"
Syu thought for a moment. How many times they broke up and got together again?
"Three" he replied and then Erina burst into the garderobe.
"Hi, Tetsu~!" he called him, sitting on his lap. "How are you?"
"Awesome. Do you want to go on date with me?" asked Tetsuto, at which the guitarist chuckled.
"It's just a joke, Tetsuto. I'm with Kei, you know?" Erina patted his head. "It's just a baptism of fire. You're not in love with me, are you?"
"I have a girlfriend. Much prietter than you" replied the bassist.
Erina snorted and looked like an offended five-years-old girl, which made Syu burst of laugh.

It was the day, when they announced Dio's disbandment. Denka was sitting in the rehearsal room, sadly poking his drum plate. Ivy and Kei were bustling around the room gathering their stuff.
"What if you persuade Erina to come back?" asked Ivy, looking at the guitarist.
Kei looked at him with strangely empty eyes.
"Let's say he's stubborn like a mule" replied Kei, taking his bag and picked up the guitar case. "I'll go now. I still need to buy jelly beans, because I'm out of them. See you tomorrow."
And he left, leaving his younger bandmates alone.
"Do you know that Soan and Hitomi are finally together?" asked Ivy, at which Denka just froze with a drumstick in his hand.
"Who?"
"Soan and Hitomi. From Moran. They're together" repeated Ivy.
"Oh, right, them. Yeah, they've been staring at each other for half a year, I think" Denka smiled sadly and returned to torturing his drumset.
"So maybe you should do the same?" asked Ivy and Denka just dropped his drumstick.
"What?"
"You and Mikaru. You know, kiss kiss, I love you, the big love story and everybody happy" Ivy smiled brightly.
"Don't you have to go home already, just like Kei? Hanami is probably worried about you."
"She'll last a day without me" Ivy shrugged.
"But maybe she made pasta?" suggested Denka and Ivy thought for a moment.
"That's a good argument" he said, pulling out his phone. "Hey Hanami~! What's for dinner? Oh, that's great! Did you know our drummer is a clairvoyant? Bye bye then, Denka!"
And he burst out of the room, almost hitting the treshold with his bass.
"Crazy boy" mumbled Denka, returning to abusing the drum plate.
In fact, he didn't know, why he's so touched by this disband. But he suspected that it can be due to what Ivy was talking about.
Since when he loved that person crazier even than the bassist? That prince of darkness with wings on his back?
In this moment the door opened queitly. Denka sighed.
"Did you forget about something, Ivy?" he asked, not even looking at him.
"Ivy didn't forget anything, unlike me" the drummer heard Mikaru's voice.
He looked up. The vocalist was standing there and staring at him.
"What?" asked finally Denka, putting the drumstick on a table. "We announced disbandment. Do you expect me to spread the sparkles of happiness?"
"No" Mikaru leaned on drumset. "But I can give you a reason."
And before Denka could even react, he kissed him. At first Futaba didn't know, what to do - if he should push him away or scold him for kissing him just after smoking, but he kissed him back in the end. And he slept with him. On the sofa. In both ways. Good that they locked the door before doing this.
After founding of Digras, Denka had enough. Enough of Mikaru's fangirls and enough of not being sure, what was their relationship status. Was that even a relationship or just sex?
"You're overreacting, Denka" said the vocalist, when he scolded him angrilly. "We're adults. Don't be jealous because of such stupid reasons/"
"This woman put her hand in your pants" Syu glared at him. "You said that we're adults. But you're acting like a kid, who wants everything for himself. And you don't care about people, who are important to you."
"You're whining" Mikaru streched lazily. "I'm going to smoke. If you really don't like my habits, you can go home."
And he was so sure that his lover won't do it that he just left.
But when he came back, he realised that even Syu's toothbrush disappeared from his bathroom...
But Syu was weak. When Mikaru decided to start a new band named Black Line, the drummer immediately agreed. He had some flings in meantime, but nothing more. He remembered too well the vocalist's harsh voice, whispering to his ear, to remember at least a name of his lovers.
Again there were ambiguous gestures and again Syu felt a wave of heat wash over him every time Mikaru smiled at him. He's a guy, but in the presence of this lunatic, his body (and mind) completely ignored this fact and he was flushing like a thirteen-year-old girl!
"Masaya..." he started after one of concerts.
The vocalist looked up at him.
"I'm listening, Syu" he said, putting away a book about rabbits, which he was reading.
The drummer took a deep breath, walked to the vocalist, grabbed his arm and slightly pushed him against the wall.
"Wow, how manly" Mikaru laughed and Syu kissed him greedily.
The vocalist grabbed his shoulders and kissed him back, pushing himself and Futaba on the chair.
"You owe me a tenner" they heard Yudai's voice after a moment.
Right, this time they forgot to lock the door. Good that Mikaru only managed to take off his shirt and undo Syu's belt.
They were curious, about what Jun and Yudai had their bet, so they asked them about it. Jun and Yudai explained that they were wondering, if Mikaru and Syu will first get together or if they're going to catch them during spicy time and then Mikaru and Syu would tell them about their relationship. Mikaru and Syu of course smacked their heads, but just like some type of a joke. They laughed about it later.
This time the vocalist acted better. This time he wasn't flirting with fangirls so often, this time Syu didn't have to punish him so often for this and this time Syu's patience ended after three years. But it still hurt. Mikaru's eye, when Syu punched his face. But Syu's heart a little too.
He cut back on talking with him to minimum for a year. Until B7Klan didn't ask them, if Dio wants to go for a tour around Europe with Dirtrucks.
"I don't know..." mumbled Denka, laying on the bed and listening to Ivy's blabbling about what a great opportunity to meet again on stage it is.
"But Denka, please! Don't be mad at Mikaru just for a while. It's gonna be awesome!" exclaimed the bassist.
"Dude, even Erina agreed" told him Kei a few minutes later. "Ivy was trying to persuade you to do it for three hours and you're still not sure?"
"How do you know that we we’re talking for three hours now?"
"Because that's how long I tried to call you" explained Kei, making Denka laugh.
He agreed. He wanted to be finally left alone and he was also curious, how it’s gonna be like to play together.
He found out by the way that Kei and Erina, who some times after Dio's disbandment broke up, got back together.
"Syu?" he heard behind him.
He turned around and saw Mikaru, who was smiling a little sadly.
"What happened? Your bunny died?" asked Denka.
"What? No! I was just... Thinking" replied the vocalist.
"Oh, that’s new" Denka smiled a little meanly.
"I'm trying to be nice."
"And I'm not."
"Syu!" Mikaru grabbed his shoulder. "I miss you. If you want it or not, I can't stop thinking about you."
"But you're going to miss not me, but your fangirls" mumbled Denka.
"I won't do that."
"Do you promise?"
"I promise" Mikaru nodded and kissed him.
"I knew that they're gonna get together again!" exclaimed Ivy, standing in the treshold and pulled out his smartphone. "Heiichi, they're together again! Hey, don't call me >>kid<<, I'm older than you!"
And he went to the other room to continue his conversation.
"Next time we should close the door."
"Good idea. But there won't be the next time."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
And he broke his promise. Dio's tour ended, just like Denka's patience. Probably because Mikaru gave him a promise and broke it anyway. Just like Denka broke Mikaru's tooth, when he punched his face. Good that the dentist could fix it.
Now Syu agreed to play as support drummer for G.L.A.M.S. Of course he could deny Mikaru's offer. But no! His heart was as stupid as his love interest.
After returning to the hotel, Syu laid down on the bed and looked at the ceiling. They broke up probably... one month ago? And now he had to see him everyday again. Why isn't he assertive at all?
He heard knocking on the door. Recently Tetsuto often was visiting him in the evenings, because he wanted to whine about Erina, but this prank has already ended. So who...?
"Syu, open the door. Please" he heard Mikaru's voice. "I just want to talk."
The drummer thought for a moment, got up and opened the door.
"Did something happen?" asked Syu.
"Can I walk in?"
"But what happened?"
"Can you let me in? I want to talk inside, not in the hall."
"It's a hotel, walls have ears here."
"Syu!" Mikaru glared at him. "Please."
"Okay, come in" Syu pulled him inside and closed the door. "So what happened?"
Mikaru sat down. He looked at the floor. As if he seriously thought about something.
"Masaya?"
"I'm an idiot" he said firmly. "I'm an idiot. I let you leave me everytime. I shouldn't do that. I care about you, Syu. Really."
"Am I that good in bed?"
"I care about you being in my heart, not bed" Mikaru stood up so abruptly that his chair fell on the floor. "Syu... Listen..."
"I'm listening."
"You love me, right?"
"Did you realise that after six years? Congrats" Syu clapped his hands. "I love you more than anything, but you prefer fangirls."
"I don't prefer fangirls" replied Mikaru. "I prefer you."
"In bed?"
"Stop talking about bed!" Mikaru growled, grabbing his arms. "I love you, Syu. But I realised it a little too late."
"A little? Wait, what?" Syu blinked.
Mikaru was serious. His eyes were blurry, his breath was shallow and his hands were sweating. He really was serious!
"Do you love me?"
"Yes. More than fans. And my bunnies."
"Even Lily?"
"Even Lily" Mikaru smiled fondly and kissed him.
Softly. Without telling him to spread his legs in front of him in a moment and do everything he wanted without protest.
But Syu wanted it himself. And could honestly admit that sex has never been so good.
* * *
"So is your relationship finally normal?" asked Tetsuto.
Since Mikaru and Syu confessed their feelings for each other and got together for the fourth time, almost a year had passed. The vocalist kept ignoring fangirls by any chance. All he did was putting a shoe on a foot of one of them that night, when she announced that she was his Cinderella.
"Yes" confirmed Syu, looking through open window, which reminded him that they played the concert like this too.
With an open window! And the sound carried to the entire Posen's old town!
"That's good" Tetsuto nodded. "I'm going for a beer. Do you want some?"
"Maybe later" replied Syu.
"I'll call Hanami by the way then" said Tetsuto and left.
Syu leaned against the windowsill. The night was warm. He felt calm. Like he was never going to be sad again.
After a while he felt like someone is embracing him from behind. He smiled, smelling familiar cologne and nicotine. The feeling of peace became even more intense and spread over his heart.
Yes. Everything was finally okay.
The end
