Real People: Dir en grey - Die/Kaoru (Alpha)
Fandom: Dir en grey (Real People)
Pairing: Daisuke Andou x Kaoru Niikura
Theme set: Alpha
Rating: G - R
#01 - Comfort
"Don't worry, Kaoru, please, " Die assured the older man, moving up behind him to drape his arms over his shoulders, "Even... even if the band's gone... I'm not going anywhere; promise."
#02 - Kiss
Kaoru grabbed Die by the collar, putting an end to the line of butterfly kisses along his neck as he hissed, breathlessly, "I'm through with your fucking games." (Prequel to 3)
#03 - Soft
No sooner had the leader said that then did he claim the younger man's lips hungrily for his own, his roaming tongue a stark contrast to the gentle hand that slid down to the small of Die's back. (Sequel to 2)
#04 - Pain
"You're not hurting me, " Die reassured him, though Kaoru could see right through to his poorly disguised wince.
#05 - Potatoes
"Uh... Kao?, " Die murmured, poking at the mound of unidentifiable mush on his plate with a fork, "I know you're still kind of pissed, but... if you're gunna kill me, mind going for a knife instead?"
#06 - Rain
Kaoru watched the redhead as he watched the rain forlornly through the window, and sighed; he knew Die'd never really be satisfied until the winter had spun its snowy fantasy for him once again.
#07 - Chocolate
"Fuck chocolate, " Die purred as he crawled atop the leader, a downright fiendish glint in his eyes, "I've got your 'Happy Valentine's' right here."
#08 - Happiness
It was only too late that Kaoru realized what he'd done, and the two stared at each other for a moment, blood red as his hair trickling down Die's lip as he whispered, "So... are you happy now?"
#09 - Telephone
"Die, don't you dare hang up on -- don't you fucking dare -- GODDAMNIT, DIE!!"
#10 - Ears
The list of things in the world that were capable of sending a shiver up Kaoru's spine was about as short as you'd expect, and the sensation of Die's warm breath up against his ear ranked near the top.
#11 - Name
Die pulled away from Kaoru as if he'd burned him, eyes wide and betrayed as the realization sank in; then narrowed, dangerously, as he growled, "... I'm not Kyo."
#12 - Sensual
"Okay, y'know what?, " Kaoru grumbled, storming across the studio to snatch the banana away from his lover with a harsh glare, "No more fruit for you." (Prequel to 39)
#13 - Death
It's funny, Kaoru thinks to himself; for a guy named Die, he'd never met someone quite so full of Life.
#14 - Sex
Die had been drunk off his ass the first time they'd fucked; Kaoru had been terrified that the redhead would hate him come morning, but he couldn't have been any more wrong.
#15 - Touch
"For fuck's sake, Die, you need help, I'm just trying to -- !, " Kaoru growled, but Die simply shrugged the leader's supporting hand off his shoulder and scowled right back at him.
#16 - Weakness
Kaoru sighed as Die stopped off to sign yet another autograph, flashing the girls his usual bright smile; his weakness to the fans was sweet sometimes, but not when they had somewhere to be.
#17 - Tears
Neither man was prone to tears... which always made it that much harder when Kaoru woke to the sight of Die engulfed in his more intense nightmares, lashing at nothing with water streaming freely down his cheeks.
#18 - Speed
It was the strained look the redhead had given Toshiya when he'd playfully asked, "What happened, Die-kun, did you get your heart broken~?, " that sent the leader mumbling a half-baked excuse as he dashed into the bathroom. (Sequel to 49)
#19 - Wind
Kaoru was exactly where Die expected to find him, the same place he always wound up when he got pissed enough; standing at the edge of the docks, his shouts lost to the harsh ocean winds.
#20 - Freedom
"You know, you could probably have anyone, " Die commented casually one day, sprawled on his back on the bed and staring listlessly at the ceiling; his eyes widened a bit as Kaoru crawled over him, invading his line of vision, "Maybe... but I don't want just anyone."
#21 - Life
"It's my life, Kaoru, my choice, " Die declared, stepping forward and seizing the leader's arm with a stubborn glare, "Get your head out of your fucking ass already and deal with it."
#22 - Jealousy
Kaoru couldn't help but feel just a little jealous as Die prattled on with the other American bands, making new friends (and new drinking buddies, au naturale) everywhere he went... did he really need to get so touchy-feely with all of them?
#23 - Hands
Kaoru could play Die just as expertly as his own guitar, his fingers always striking just the right chord... and earning the desired sound.
#24 - Taste
Early on, Die had often stared at the older man without realizing... until he caught his mind envisioning things he knew it shouldn't, like his tongue dragging across every inch of that pale flesh.
#25 - Devotion
Die snuffed his cigarette out with his heel, then flashed Kaoru a smile as he joined his side (ducking behind his curtain of hair in hopes that the leader wouldn't notice his frost nipped cheeks), "Nah, I haven't been here long, don't worry."
#26 - Forever
The first time they'd met, any attempt at conversation had been downright awkward; then they went out for a night of booze and by the next morning, one would have sworn they'd known each other forever.
#27 - Blood
Even if he'd never admit it, Die had once been afraid of blood; the first few times Kyo had ripped into himself during their concerts, Kaoru had spotted the redhead shaking when they went off stage.
#28 - Sickness
Even from the very start, it was always Kaoru who was left to hold those soft red locks out of the guitarist's face as he lurched over the toilet.
#29 - Melody
Die leaned against the doorframe, just out of sight, eyes drifting closed as the sounds of Kaoru's newest melody washed over him.
#30 - Star
Kaoru still isn't sure whether to laugh or groan as Die's voice booms over the TV for what feels like the thousandth time, "I'M A FUCKING ROCKSTAR... BITCH?"
#31 - Home
The leader will always vividly remember the day he ran away from home... what he can't put his finger on is when Die's apartment stepped up to take its place.
#32 - Confusion
"What the fuck do you mean, 'I can't see him'?!, " Kaoru bellowed, his voice echoing through the sterile hospital walls.
#33 - Fear
Die was convinced he'd never known the true meaning of terror until he'd woken up amongst the wreckage of his car and spied his lover's limp, blood-soaked form in the passenger's seat beside him.
#34 - Lightning/Thunder
After the power blew out, no one was really too surprised that Kaoru and Die had volunteered to go check the fuse box; it'd been two hours since then, but no one dared go down after them.
#35 - Bonds
Over the years, the band's many complex bonds had formed, broken, and come back together again more times than any of them bothered to count... Die and Kaoru's was one of the few that grew stronger each time.
#36 - Market
"Kaoru... , " Die eyed the book his lover held suspiciously, "... um... dare I ask why you're reading a hentai doujin about me and Shinya?"
#37 - Technology
"You know... , " Die remarked to Kaoru once with a bright smile as they headed out for a smoke, "The world's got some amazing technology today... , " and Kaoru had to resist the urge to roll his eyes; like making a car explode should earn them the Nobel prize?
#38 - Gift
Die's shoulders slumped in visable relief as Kaoru gushed over the Gundam model he'd bought him; he'd known the leader had his eye on it, but he always got so worked up when it came to presents.
#39 - Smile
"Yes Kaoru, " Die said, that award winning smile never once faltering -- he had a fresh pack of ice pops waiting for tomorrow. (Sequel to 12)
#40 - Innocence
Kaoru had quickly learned that Die was about as 'innocent' as he was tone-deaf, but he was still a sucker for those damn puppy dog eyes of his.
#41 - Completion
Die loved every one of Kaoru's smiles, big and small, though his favorite had always been that triumphant grin that heralded the completion of a new song.
#42 - Clouds
It was cold as fuck and he was hungry and they still had work to do and his head hurt and suddenly every last complaint fled from his mind as those first few flakes of snow fluttered down to greet them and Die gave a smile so bright, it was a wonder the clouds didn't shy away.
#43 - Sky
"Easy, the same reason your hair's red, " Kaoru mumbled around his cigarette, smoke trailing up towards the expanse of blue overhead, and smirked, "Because it's fucking beautiful."
#44 - Heaven
Die couldn't cook to save his life, but the leader didn't care; just watching him try so hard for his sake was like a slice of his own personal paradise (until the fires started).
#45 - Hell
He couldn't help stealing glances across the stage now and then; seeing that hair whip about his lover's face like hellfire as he throws himself into the music never fails to pump him up.
#46 - Sun
Even though they were all guilty of it, you could always count on Die and Kaoru to band together and poke fun at their bandmates when they wore their sunglasses inside.
#47 - Moon
"Kaoru, where do you think the whole 'rabbit in the moon' thing came from?, " Die asked idly (it really didn't look much like a bunny to him). (Prequel to 48.)
#48 - Waves
The leader didn't bothering answering, too entranced by the sight of the guitarist bathed in those waves of dull silver light -- he'd make him forget that question soon enough. (Sequel to 49.)
#49 - Hair
Kaoru tried his hardest to look unphased when Die strolled into the studio, hair cropped shorter than he'd even known it. (Pre-quel to 18)
#50 - Supernova
When Kaoru strolled into the room, he was surprised to see a documentary on the lifespan of stars blaring on the TV... until he spotted a certain redhead fast asleep on the couch.
