Summary - everybody knows so much, but knows so little about the relationship between Gackt and Jon.
It was one of those things that everybody knew about, but nobody acknowledged.
Takumi and U:zo’s silence was due to embarrassment, to being new and not knowing how Gackt would react to whispers about how he spent his spare time. Shinya and Chacha’s silence was due to a general feeling of apathy that only those who had been in the business a long time and had seen everything already could have. They didn’t care what, or who, Gackt did. You’s silence came from experience, of knowing that Gackt didn’t appreciate being lectured to or questioned about who he decided to fuck.
Yes, they were all silent, but they all knew.
They had all heard those muffled groans on the tour bus as it crossed the border into Spain and had all remained awake, unable to sleep and unable to ask for silence, until Jon had finally crept out of Gackt’s bunk and returned to his own. That had been the first time.
They had all learnt as the tour progressed that nobody should enter the vocalist’s dressing room without knocking first, loudly, and waiting for a response. They took it in turns to take the hotel room next to Gackt’s because whoever had that room was going to have a disturbed night of sleep as unlike on the tour bus, Gackt and Jon never even tried to be quiet when they were in their hotel room. The bruises, the hickey marks that always decorated Gackt’s thighs, the scratches that decorated Jon’s - everyone ignored those too.
It was just one of those things that everybody had come to accept. U:zo would be late for every meeting and cower in his seat when Gackt-san shouted at him, only to do it again the next day. Takumi would hang on every word of advice his Nii-san would bestow on him and simply ask for more. Shinya would eat everything in sight, and then sneak out to the gym when Gackt-kun wasn’t looking. And Jon, well he’d naturally charm anyone he came into contact with and then spend his spare moments fucking G.
But then, halfway through the promotion for the All My Love single, something changed.
The bruises, scratches and hickeys disappeared. They didn’t need to knock on the door of the vocalist’s dressing room anymore. Jon began to spend his spare moments drinking with U:zo, talking to Takumi and learning from Shinya. Things turned professional between the two singers that had previously been so close, both in and out of the bedroom.
They all wanted to ask what had happened, but as they had never acknowledged it in the first place nobody had the courage to do so. However this time, they were willing to speak about it to each other.
Gackt and Jon heard their whispers. The vocalists soon learned that they should enter rooms loudly, so that the band members had the chance to quickly change the subject and save everyone’s embarrassment. Gackt and Jon learnt as the promotion continued on, that the apparent break down in their secret relationship was the hot topic of the band and crew. They also learned that the common theory was that Jon had fallen in love.
And that Gackt hadn’t.
Jon had been happy that the band hadn’t questioned him about fucking Gackt. He had considered himself strictly heterosexual before that night on the tour bus and he knew that his long time friends U:zo and Takumi must have had dozens of questions that he had no answers for. Simply answering with “it’s Gackt” seemed inadequate somehow but it was the only answer he had.
Gackt hadn’t cared whether they’d questioned him about his relationship with Jon. He had no shame about his sexual conquests and only became angry at You’s questions and comments when the guitarist decided to hound him with them. Gackt knew that You’s incessant questions were simply another sign of how the other man cared for him, but it didn’t make it any less irritating.
Despite his embarrassment that the situation had ever existed at all, Jon wouldn’t have minded being asked about the split. At least then he could make sure everyone knew that he most definitely had not fallen in love with Gackt. He could see the pity in their eyes when they looked at him and knew that although nobody would speak to him about his relationship with Gackt, they were all treating him like he had a broken heart.
Despite his comfort in being asked about the relationship with Jon and his nonchalance towards having been questioned on it, Gackt was glad nobody was asking him about the split. Gackt knew that he had a good poker face and could lie or tell half-truths without blinking, but the right question from You would cut through it all. He had fallen in love with Jon. Jon hadn’t loved him back. Gackt had, for the first time in years, put his heart on the line and it had been thrown back at him. Jon was polite, apologetic and eager to remain friends, but Gackt was merely counting down the minutes until YFC could go their separate ways again.
It was one of those things that nobody knew, and Gackt was very thankful for that.

Notes
1) It's always Jon who falls for Gackt so I thought I'd change it up a little.
