Not the best that I’ve written.
You had perfected the art of sleeping while sitting straight up by now. He was in a wheelchair, his crutches leaning against a wall near the door. His hand was resting on top of Gackt’s.
The last week and a half had been crazy. The first call had been to their parents, of course, then to the managers, agents, and personal lawyers. You only lasted one day before he had Miyuki change his voicemail message to direct callers to their lawyer, who now had the job of family spokesperson. He checked his phone every time it rang to see if it was someone “important”. An auto-reply e-mail had also been set up. Two special e-mail accounts had been made too: One for press inquiries, which the management and lawyers handled; and one for fans to send their well-wishes.
You’s body didn’t hurt as much as it had on the day of the accident, but his spirit still hurt. Gackt had had surgery to fix his leg and do a tracheotomy. His lower leg was in what You would later describe as a “bear trap”. They had put a couple of plates in to secure bones and had used pins that were externally secured to hold others in the right place. Gackt also had a feeding tube down his nose and they’d changed his IV to something more permanent in his chest. The doctors were talking less doom and gloom about his chances of surviving. His body was healing as they expected it to be after 10 days, his urine had cleared up a bit, no longer tinged red from the bruised kidney, and his incisions were looking good. His cranial pressure had initially increased, but it had plateaued and gone down a little bit over the last 2 days. He was, however, still in the induced coma.
Now You’s neck didn’t hurt with every miniscule movement, and he could move his knee and ankle when it was unsecured.
You’s lips had just parted behind his facemask as his parents walked in and got germ-free.
“Sweetheart…” You’s mother cooed as she very gently stroked his arm. You’s eyes fluttered and it took him a second to realize it was his mother.
“Mom… Dad…” They’d stopped by earlier, to support their son while Gackt was in surgery.
“Son.” His dad gently patted his shoulder.
After a brief update about the day, You’s parents sat down and started talking about their day and news from Kyoto. You just wanted them there, it didn’t matter what they talked about. It could be last night’s dinner at a fancy Tokyo restaurant, or their neighbor’s stupid cat, it didn’t matter. What mattered was that You felt the love increase exponentially when his parents came.
The same couldn’t be said about Gackt’s parents though. They’d been there three times, and although You understood his parents were different than Gackt’s, You only felt the love rise a little. Gackt’s mom showed her concern by calling Gackt and You her “babies” and spending most of the time right next to the bed. His father tended to pace, like wearing a track in the floor was a prayer. You couldn’t take too much of them being around.
Then there was “The Talk” he’d had with Gackt’s father in the rooftop courtyard garden. You understood the concern, so he was polite, but was annoyed that the man thought that he’d abandon Gackt and their daughter. He would never give up on Gackt, even if it led to frightful or horrible things.
~~~
It was around 8pm when Miyuki came to pick You up. He’d been officially discharged three days after the accident and he and Miyuki were splitting shifts sitting with Gackt. She was there at night while You got some sleep and spent time with Chihiro. Gackt’s staff had stepped up and there was always someone at the house to help with the kids or do other tasks. They really were a giant family, that sentiment wasn’t just idealistic words.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Two weeks since the accident and You could finally ditch the knee brace. His ankle felt better with pressure on it, so it stayed wrapped.
Gackt was on the same pace of recovery, though they’d pulled back on the sedation just a little. He had also been moved to the regular ICU of the VIP department.
You was reading through Gackt’s treatment binder when he heard a quiet knock on the door. All visits were scheduled through one of Gackt amazing assistants, and You hadn’t been expecting anyone. He looked up and saw Gackt’s mother there.
“How is he doing today?”
“Improving, slowly.” He closed the binder. “Where is your husband?”
“Playing Pachinko… I know we’re supposed to schedule…”
“It’s alright. Come on in.”
She sterilized and put a mask on, then took a seat on the other side of Gackt’s bed. She carefully took her son’s hand and stroked it. She never said much when she was here, but it wasn’t an uncomfortable silence.
“He’ll wake up when he’s ready… You know?”
“Yes, I know.” She said that every time she was here too.
“He always has… even when he was little…”
You’d been told stories from Gackt’s childhood, so he knew what she was talking about. He just wasn’t so sure that this time would be like the others.
After about fifteen minutes, a small gasp broke the relative silence. ‘He twitched… His fingers…”
“The doctor said that could happen…” You whispered. A twitch here or there didn’t necessarily mean anything, he was still too sedated to wake up.
“Take your time, Gaku… We can wait. We want you to be 100% when you wake up…”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Three weeks after the accident, You had gone to see the Lamborghini and sign some paperwork to keep it there for a while longer. It was a crumpled heap of metal, the driver’s side door was mangled, the roof peeled off. A few hundred thousand dollars… gone…
~~~
You was currently sitting in the VIP cafeteria. It was a little small, but suited the VIP department’s traffic. Megumi was feeding their newest child while Hyde had some alone time with Gackt.
“You know…” Megumi started. You set down his latte. “Hyde’s been torn up terribly… But he’s had so much to do with L’Arc and Vamps…”
You nodded.
“I wonder about the three of you sometimes…”
You cocked his head. “About…?”
“What you do when Hyde goes out with Gackt…”
You had a feeling he knew where this was going. “You worry it’ll be a repeat of Taiwan…”
“Yes…” She looked especially troubled.
“How long have you known?”
“After we got the e-mail from your lawyer about the accident.”
Three weeks ago? It took him this long to tell her?
“When did Gackt tell you?”
“When I got to Taiwan…” They’d been scheduled to share a room, but three nights into You’s stay, Gackt broke. The tension from You had been too much, You had seen and heard too much, so he came clean. But they were past that and they were all good friends now.
Maybe Hyde was afraid that Gackt wouldn’t make it, that Megumi wouldn’t have a chance to forgive either of them. Who knows why he chose now to tell her.
“You seem to have handled it well…”
You smiled, “Not at the time. I spent the rest of the stay in a separate room. Then we had a fight when he got home. Yelling, throwing things, punches, then hot make up time… He’s told me anything else that has come up.”
“It just makes me wonder what else he’s hidden… He says that there’s nothing else, but…”
“You should trust him. Gaku has… a certain effect on people… It probably was just a one-time thing.”
“So I just grin and bear it?”
“You’re still with him. Talk things out, pin him down if you need to. You are bigger than he is…” You smirked and Megumi giggled despite herself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A few days later, Miyavi and his family stopped by. They’d cut Gackt’s sedation back to the point where he wouldn’t be in pain if he woke up.
Miyavi completely fell apart. It was his first visit and while You waited with Lovelie and Jewelie outside, they heard Miyavi beg his “big brother” to wake up.
~~~
Later that week, while he was waiting for Miyuki to arrive, You watched Gackt intently. He felt Gackt’s fingers twitch.
“You can hear me, can’t you…?” Gackt’s lip twitched.
“The other night… I had a dream about the first time we had sex… Well, when we woke up that morning…” You could swear that Gackt’s lips turned up into a miniscule smile.
~*~
You’s senses woke from their sleep slowly, the light streaming in the windows behind him having the same effect as a warm blanket. You was warm, happy, and didn’t want to get up yet. Though, as he woke further, reality came flooding back.
A headache rushed in with a huge amount of muscle soreness, mostly in the lower half of his torso. As he tried to roll, he encountered resistance. That was when he noticed the pair of arms around him.
W-what? His brain snapped to.
He looked at the hand resting in front of him. Who… What happened last night? He thought harder than he should have had to. Then he noticed the faint stamp of a club that he frequented. You carefully looked above where they were laying and saw beer cans, a whiskey bottle and 3 glasses. He noticed a ring with a black stone in it.
Then he saw a leopard thong. He tried to turn to see the person behind him, but was pressed down by the person’s arm. The person behind him pulled him closer, snuggling into him, mumbling “you move too much…” You moved his hand down to scratch an itch, but brushed against something dry and crusty.
As the person moved, he felt a very strange sensation in his backside. Ohgod… it’s a man…
He tried to get out of the man’s hug, but was stopped by his soreness and the man going “Ow…” He recognized that baritone…
“G-Gackt…?”
The other man was coming to full alertness as well. “Don’t move… apparently. Or it’ll hurt…” He reached over their heads and grabbed a bottle and You’s boxers. “Good thing you switched to whiskey and tonic water…” He soaked You’s boxers then pulled the blanket from the both of them.
You felt the wet boxers sweep up his rump and stay there, being massaged to let go of its water.
“What are yo-” he stopped when he felt what he assumed to be Gackt’s dick sliding out of his ass. He shuddered in shame and slight pleasure. It was an odd combination.
Gackt sat up when he was free and left You’s boxers wedged between his buttcheeks. “Gonna take a shower…” Gackt stood and stepped over You.
“Wait, you’re just gonna-”
“My cock’s been in your ass for far too long… it needs washing.” He kept walking to the bathroom, leaving You there to wallow in soreness.
Jerk… He was able, however, to look around a little and try to remember the night before. But he just couldn’t get past the haze in his head. He couldn’t see a condom wrapper, though, and he prayed that Gackt was clean.
Gackt came out of the bathroom, and You blushed, seeing Gackt naked, for apparently, the second time. How did that fit back there…?
”Come on.” You felt a tug on his arm. The crazy, almost-adult wanted him to get up. Gackt nearly carried You to the shower and turned the warm water back on, the showerhead raining down on You’s back. “Put your arms around me.”
You did as he was told and Gackt pulled the boxers from his cheeks. He started rubbing little circles from You’s shoulder blades on down.
He flinched when Gackt’s finger dipped between his lower cheeks. “Relax… This will feel good…”
“No.” Gackt went back to rubbing his lower back. “How drunk were we last night…?” He was afraid to know.
“You were haaaaaaaammmmered. Although, your alcohol tolerance is shamefully low…” He laughed, making You’s knees weak with the sound.
“How drunk were you?”
“I was pretty far gone too,” he lied. Not as drunk as you think I was…
"You know… this only happened because I was drunk, right?”
“Right…” It sounded like You was trying to convince himself, not order Gackt.
“Good, just so we’re clear…”
“Mmhmm.”
“Augh… That feels so good…”
~*~
“And then you convinced me to do unspeakable things in that tiny little shower, barely making it for recording…” You blushed. “My cherry conditioner was certainly helpful…” You smiled, watching Gackt’s face.
He felt Gackt’s hand twitch again, but stay closed for a little longer than “just a twitch”.
He reached up and stroked Gackt’s cheek. “I don’t regret that day…” He thought he saw Gackt’s eyes under his eyelids move in his direction.
“Yeah… You’re in there…” He kissed the back of his lover’s hand through his mask.
~*~*~*~*~
Notes:
~ “Bear trap”. Plates.
~ Hyde and Megumi had another child.
~ Hyde and Gackt had an affair in Taiwan while filming Moon Child. Hyde was married to Megumi at the time. Gackt and You’s fairly new relationship had been having troubles.
~ In Japan, you’re considered an adult at 20. That is also their drinking age, but their age of sexual consent is 13 (for straight sex. For homosexual sex, it’s 21. Yeah, figure that one out… The difference in the age of consent can make problems for anime/manga fans in the US, where it’s mostly 16 (legally), but you need to be 18 to vote, smoke, sign legal contracts, and expose your body for fun and profit. 21 to drink, 25 (not legally, but as an unwritten rule) to rent a car or hotel room (for the legal/financial obligations if you wreck it)). [/anecdotes]
~ Flashback takes place not long after they became civil towards each other.
