Ruki 's POV
~~
Walking along with Reita, I can't help but get pissed.
My father found a way to stop me from enjoying practice.
I tried not to think about it.
Really I did.
But every time I let down my guard, there it was.
"This sucks," I say, stopping.
Turning towards me, Rei doesn't say anything.
He just wraps his arms around me.
And as funny as it sounds, I start to feel better.
Little by little, letting him ease away the worry and the stress.
"I don't know what we're going to do," he finally says, stroking my hair, "but we're going to do it together."
"You really think you can talk your folks into letting me live with you?"
"Like we weren't going to as soon as we graduate anyway. This just puts us ahead of schedule. That's all."
"Schedule?" I ask a bit stupidly.
"Yeah. We're not going to stay here and just wait around for someone to 'discover' us, are we? We're going to have to go somewhere, like Tokyo. Get a following, make a name for ourselves. Get signed; make records, and all that other fun stuff. I figured we'd share an apartment."
I admit, I hadn't thought about it.
What we were going to do after graduation.
I know I don't want to stay here, tho.
And his plan does sound good.
Even if he is oversimplifying things.
Making it sound a lot easier than it's going to be.
"We'll need money to pay the rent. And buy food. Playing gigs in clubs and bars won't be enough."
"We'll all get day jobs to fill in."
"You do realize we won't get much of a place at first, right?"
"Probably not," he smiles, "But as long as it's clean and dry, I really don't care."
"You say that now. But just wait until you get there. You'll change your mind."
"So we'll have a pet rat or two. It'll be an adventure."
"How do you do it?" I laugh. "How do you always manage get me to laugh?"
"It's a gift," he smiles back. "You want to stay with me tonight? Or should I be walking you to your folks place?"
"Since you offered," I return his smile.
Wanting nothing more than to be with him.
"Good. I was hoping that'd be your answer."
When we reach Reita's house, he insists I go upstairs and take a shower.
Saying it'll give him a chance to call his parents.
So I take my time.
Letting the warm water wash away the remnants of my stress.
I really am feeling better when I step into the kitchen.
Reita's sitting at the table.
Untouched food in front of him.
Cell phone to his ear.
"That'd be great. Yeah, right," catching sight of me, he motions me over.
"Ok, dad. Thanks," closing the cell, he says to me, "obviously that was my dad."
"And?" I prompt him to continue.
"You're moving in tomorrow. After school, of course."
"You're serious?" I ask, not believing it could be this easy.
"Would I joke about something like this? No," he smiles.
"Your dad's OK with me living here? With you?"
"Yes. I told you it'd work out."
I shake my head, still not really believing.
Finally taking a seat at the table next to Rei.
"My dad wants us to swing by his lawyer's office, too. All of us. He's supposed to draw up some papers for us to sign. My dad wants to make sure your dad can't screw up us playing at the club. Being minors and them serving alcohol, he could."
"That was his idea?" I ask, amazed.
"Yes. He's doing more than I expected."
"No shit. I thought we'd have to fight for me to stay here."
"Maybe my dad gets how important this is. You and me, the music."
"Yeah. But.."
"No. There's no 'but'. Everything's going our way. This is a good thing. Now have something to eat."
I smile, shaking my head at him.
He's just so cool about all of this.
I wish I could just accept it like he has.
Until it really is settled, I'm going to worry.
He slides a plate closer to me.
"Ok. Ok," I say reaching for something.
Not really caring what.
A half an hour later, we're sitting on the floor in the living room.
Leaning against the couch.
Actually, Rei's leaning against the couch.
I'm leaning against him.
His fingers are tracing patterns on the skin of my arm.
If I hadn't been relaxed before, I am now.
I move away so I can look him in the eye.
He smiles at me, expectantly.
"I love you," I tell him as I move.
Pressing my lips against his.

A/N: So here's the first half of this chapter. Don't worry...the rest is Reituki sex. I just need to finish writing it first. And then re-read it to make sure it's as good as it can be. While also proof-reading it for mistakes. So, uh yeah...maybe tomorrow?
And I still keep bolding # 10 1/2....has everyone seen that chapter? I did go back and write those bits...later. I just wanna make sure, that's all.
