Sparkle Brigade
(3:45:56 AM): *Lounging upside down on his bed in his very comfortable
guest room, not seeing fit to leave it or the Tokyo area after the very
successful concert. He has earphones placed neatly on his ears, listening to
American club music as he flips through a manga, dressed in relaxed-fit jeans
and a teeshirt torn in artistic places, a chain belt slithered around his
waist.*
beat of dream
(3:46:21 AM): *knocks softly on the door* Takachan?
Sparkle Brigade (3:47:27 AM): *Hears that vaguely,
and sits up, reaching over on the comforter to turn the volumne of his player
down so that the bass doesn't resonate from across the room.*
Hai?
beat of dream (3:48:55
AM): It's almost four in the morning... I noticed you were
up.
Sparkle Brigade
(3:49:10 AM): Aah... ne, insomnia. *Sweet smile.*
beat of dream (3:51:09
AM): Ah.
*has a red robe on with little Mickeys on it and is carrying a glass of wine,
clearly on his way to bed... at what, almost four in the morning?* Nothing's
troubling you, I hope?
Sparkle
Brigade (3:51:51 AM):
Iya ne~ Should something be? *Sets
the manga pages-down on his chest, folding an arm beneath his half-black,
half-white tresses.*
beat of dream (3:53:04 AM): *wanders in, a little red-faced from continual drinking in
the night, but able to carry himself* No, I'd hope not. *sits down on the bed*
What are you reading?
Sparkle
Brigade (3:54:17 AM):
Basara. *Holds the tankoban out,
offering up a look.* Thought I'd something a little different. *A trip-hop beat
still flows from the miniature speakers hung on his ears, a pleasant dance
song.*
beat of dream
(3:54:52 AM): ( Basara? O_O )
Sparkle
Brigade (3:55:00 AM):
(Never heard of
it?)
beat of dream (3:55:11
AM): I
don't keep up with that stuff, what's it about?
Sparkle Brigade (3:55:50 AM): Aah, a girl who goes
to war. It's sort of boring. *Thumbs the pages consideringly, aiming a little
smile at his longtime friend.* Nothing like Initial D or Gravitation
ne.
beat of dream (3:57:35
AM): I
never liked Initial D that much. But Gravitation was exciting. *smiles back,
sipping his wine* I'm very sorry I missed Takachan in concert... I would have
love to have gone, but investors dislike it when their talent doesn't show up
for board meetings.]
Sparkle
Brigade (3:58:52 AM):
*A shrug that really isn't any sort
of indication of indifference; it's the kind of gesture that is coupled with a
look directed in the opposite direction of the person it was aimed at. He wasn't
okay with his friend's absence at all.* I just wish you hadn't said I was
wonderful, before, acting like you'd been there.
beat of dream (3:59:55
AM): I
knew you wonderful. There's never a time you're not. And I saw some footage that
was taken. *sip*
Sparkle Brigade (4:00:42 AM): *The volumne goes up as his thumb moves subtly,
eyes averted with brows drawn.*
beat of
dream (4:00:56 AM):
Ne, Takachan, what's wrong?
Sparkle Brigade (4:01:26
AM): Nan demo nai. *Reclines again, laying fully on his plush beddressings,
lifting the manga above his vision.*
beat of dream (4:02:29 AM): Hontou?
Sparkle Brigade (4:03:24
AM): *Gruffly.* Hontou.
beat of
dream (4:03:36 AM):
*frowns*
beat of dream (4:05:06 AM): Am I bothering
you?
Sparkle Brigade
(4:05:17 AM): *Shortly.* No.
beat
of dream (4:06:09 AM):
Please... if I've offended you, tell
me.
Sparkle Brigade
(4:06:18 AM): You haven't.
beat
of dream (4:08:01 AM):
You're just being short. Are you
tired?
Sparkle Brigade
(4:08:36 AM): *Flings the manga over his head, to bang against the wall
dimly as he pulls a pillow over his face, groaning out a,*
Nooo.
beat of dream
(4:09:13 AM): *sets the wine on the bedside stand, tugging at the pillow* Then what
iiiiis it?
Sparkle Brigade
(4:09:28 AM): I don't want to talk about
this.
beat of dream
(4:10:33 AM): Takachan, I'm merely concerned. *pout*
Sparkle Brigade (4:11:32 AM): *Sits up, pushing
the pillow up against Daisuke's chest as he does so, his eyes closing on a sigh
before he opens them again, inhaling slowly, as if to calm a temper he hasn't
even revealed to hold ownership to.* There's no reason to be,
Daisukesan.
beat of dream
(4:14:18 AM): *tries not to concentrate too hard on those actions, that mouth, those
big, beautiful eyes and the delicate lashes...* I'm sorry.
Sparkle Brigade (4:15:12
AM): *Smiles that disarming, brilliant smile, flicking a lock of pale blonde
hair from Daisuke's cheek, all traces of his irritation vanished.*
Daijoubu.
beat of dream
(4:15:45 AM): *melts a little inside, smiling back* Takachan...
Sparkle Brigade (4:16:12
AM): Hai? *Props himself up at a easier angle, his hands bracing him behind
him casually.*
beat of dream (4:16:42 AM): I really do... find you beautiful.
Sparkle Brigade (4:17:16
AM): *Smiles.* I know.
beat of
dream (4:19:54 AM):
*looks into Takanori's eyes, trying to will
himself to do something, say something* Well... It's late, ne? You shouldn't
stay up, you'll get dark circles. *um, no, dammit, that wasn't
it!*
Sparkle Brigade
(4:20:54 AM): I never
get dark circles. I'm not
tired. *Idly picks a piece of lint from his tee's front.*
beat of dream (4:21:45
AM): I've been up since this time yesterday, so, I'm going to sleep. *stands
up... giving Takanori a kiss on the forehead before picking up his wine glass
and heading for the door*
Sparkle
Brigade (4:22:16 AM):
*Sweetly, not energetically, but
with fraternal care.* Oyasumi, Dai.
beat
of dream (4:22:38 AM):
Oyasumi. *leaves, shutting the door behind
him*
