Re: Settle Down.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Ichiru ignored the fact that his lover had practically wrapped himself around this young man he hardly knew, they were actions he completely expected from the short man. "Well, what did Teioh want exactly?" He asked picking up the fifth doughnut from the box and taking a large bite out of it. Utakata slackened his hold on Zach as he looked over at Ichiru. "He wanted to go out for a drink, but well, it's Teioh. He hasn't invited us out in years. Then he told me he loved me in that really sexy voice of his." he said with a laugh. "We haven't had a three way in such a long time...not since I brought that model home with me last year..." Utakata said with a smirk and Ichiru let out a sigh as though wondering why Utakata had to bring up stuff like that in public. Kyo looked to Zach, "Now here's a good question, after hearing that Teioh's probably going to end up sleeping with these two idiots...how do you feel?" she asked putting her elbows on the table and giving Zach a questioning look, pushing her glasses up her nose.

[RippedNose]

Zach made a light noise of agreement at Ichiru's question, curious himself. He laughed at the last part of Utakata's words, not exactly surprised that he would say something like that. He was tempted to ask who it was that he was talking about it, figuring he would know whoever it was, but decided against it. He looked to Kyo when she started speaking, blinking for a moment at the question, not exactly having thought about it that way until now. Previously he had been thinking that he had made people happy, which was better than thinking that he was ruining a family, but once he really thought about this, he sighed. "I guess. . . even though I know I really have no right to, I feel a bit jealous" he said with a sligh grimace, a hint of a blush crossing his cheeks. Teioh was married, and had only slept with him once. He had no right to feel jealous that he was probably going to end up sleeping with his childhood friends, which he had apparently done a lot when he was younger. They really had more right to sleep with Teioh than he did. He was just some stranger.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Kyo thought it was adorable that Zach felt jealous and Utakata clearly shared that thought. The two of them looked at one another then back at Zach. "I think it would b e cute if Teioh really took a liking to you..." Kyo said with a smile. "But we don't know how likely that will be." Utakata added, "For now you can just stay around him and be a friend and I'm sure he'll come to you as a regular as well." Utakata said with a laugh, "Then maybe we'll get to get together sometime in the future." he said nudging Zach in the side. Ichiru let out a loud sigh and started on his last doughnut after draining a good half of his drink. Utakata smiled as he turned to his lover, "Don't worry you can join too, it'll be fun. And you know I love you more then anything." he said with a smile and a smile formed at Ichiru's lips knowing that it was true. He was already used to Utakata's actions he just liked hearing the small man say that.

[RippedNose]

Zach couldn't help his blush darkening slightly, unable to help but being slightly embarassed. He was used to being complimented, so being told it was cute wasn't the problem. He wasn't even sure where the feelings were coming from. He barely even knew Teioh, but he had a feeling that the only reason he was embarassed about it was because it was him, despite everything. He didn't know what to say to Utakata's words, looking instead to Ichiru as the man sighed, wondering what it must be like to have a lover like that, but he knew it was expected of them by this point. He himself let out a sigh, letting his head fall back for a moment. "I really shouldn't though. I promised Teioh that I wouldn't avoid him, but I can't sleep with him again. . . I'd feel terrible" he sighed again, figuring that he could tell these people, if anybody. They already knew most of what he felt on this, which he wasn't sure why he was sharing all with these people he had just met.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

The three of them fell silent as Zach voiced how horrible he would feel. All of them had their thoughts drift to Mariko and the kids, they knew Teioh would be able to deal with it, especially for the kids...but they hadn't really thought about how the other adults involved would feel. It had been very obvious that Zach was bothered by what he did and this had just proved it and Mariko would surely be incredibly upset if she found out about Teioh sleeping around again. The three of them didn't particularly care for Mari, thinking she was the sole reason Teioh was as upset as he was now, all of them having come to the conclusion that she had been stalking Teioh before hand and got herself pregnant on purpose when she slept with him, without any real proof of course. "I think we can all understand that. We just want what's best for Teioh...so maybe we should just move forward...and see how things turn out. Maybe you will never sleep with him again, maybe you will...things will happen, we're all just going to go with the flow and do what we think should happen." Ichiru explained his voice rather low as he spoke. Utakata and Kyo looked over at him. He had always been the most serious in the group but this was a bit much even for him. Utakata practically leaped back to his seat and wrapped his arms around Ichiru kissing him deeply, "God I love you." Utakata said lacing his fingers into Ichiru's on top of the table.

[RippedNose]

Zach bit the inside of his lip, eyes trained on the floor when it went silent. He knew it was no secret that he felt bad about what he'd done, but he was going to assume that it was different hearing it come from his mouth than just guessing. His green eyes flicked back up as Ichiru started to speak, voice low. He found himself nodding sliently, liking how that sounded. Going with the flow was something he could do easily. It was planning ahead and over-thinking things that bothered him. He laughed slightly despite how he was feeling when Utakata threw himself at his fiancé, running a hand through his hair. "I guess you're right" he said after a moment, looking to Ichiru. "What will happen, will happen. I got a ticket to his concert tomorrow, since I told him I would, and I'll go see him after" he said, nodding. He had planned to, but saying it out loud made it seem less like he was doing something terrible.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Utakata looked at Zach as he spoke he smiled softly. "And we're going too, maybe it will be a little less awkward for you if we went with you to go see Teioh afterwards." He suggested, "We can leave if you want to, but Teioh will be a lot more relaxed if we're there." He said with a laugh taking another sip of his drink. Ichiru kissed Utakata's cheek a couple times. Utakata looked at Ichiru and laughed slightly giving him a small kiss on the lips. "But for now, we're going to go." He said with a giggle resting his forehead on Ichiru's. He turned to Zach, "I'll see you tomorrow in the lobby, our seats should be next to one another anyway." he stood up and Ichiru did the same, fingers entwined with Utakata's, "Bye Zach, it was nice talking to you. And see you later Kyo, love you." He said blowing her a kiss. Ichiru pulled on Utakata's hand and the black haired man practically attached himself to his fiancé resting his head on his arm. Ichiru looked over his shoulder and waved to the two at the table with his free hand before escorting Utakata out of the room.

Kyo turned to Zach after watching her friends leave the building. "They really are in love. Teioh's actually the reason they ended up together I think. Utakata's really liked Ichiru since Grade 10 or so. It's almost annoying, aggravating, to see two people so deeply in love." She said shaking her head, but she laughed. "But I see those two as brothers so I can't really get mad at them, it's the same with Teioh. He's one of those people you just can't get angry at." She said. She was silent for a while before she spoke again, "Have you met Teioh's kids? His twins: Kuro and Shiro, and his little girl: Ao?" She asked curiously. She loved those three kids as though they were her own and they all seemed to love her and the rest of Teioh's friends a lot to.

[RippedNose]

Zach nodded, smiling at the black haired man appreciatively. "Yeah, thanks" he said, quite happy to know that the two of them would be there with him, even if he barely knew them. Teioh did, which was really the point. It didn't bother him that Utakata and Ichiru were being so lovey-dovey, he thought it was rather cute, but he didn't say anything about it. He nodded when Utakata said they were going to leave. "Alright, see you tomorrow" he said with a smile. "Bye guys" he gave a wave, leaning back in his chair. He watched the two leave before turning back to Kyo, laughing slightly. "Yeah, Utakata said he'd loved him for a long time" he nodded, tilting his head to the side when she said it was aggrivating. He hadn't found it so. He sighed slightly at her question, running a hand through his hair, giving a slight grimace. "Yeah, unfortunately. Shiro conned me into bringing Teioh's wedding ring over, which he'd left at my house, when Teioh wasn't home, and it was just his kids there. . . then he and his wife came home. . . it was a tad. . . awkward" he explained, shaking his head. He really wished he could have avoided that whole thing, and he was still a bit irritated that he had let himself be conned by a little boy.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Kyo couldn't help but laugh as she was told what Shiro had done. "That's Shiro for you. That kid is a real genius, he's actually just like his uncle, Teioh's brother." She said, "Don't worry about it, I'm sure it's fine. Kuro on the other hand is just like his father. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with the same sort of behaviour Teioh had all the way through his life. Those two boys are so close though. They remind me of Teioh and his brother. God, his brother is hot...but he's really scary, he used to get all pissed off and protective of his brother back in highschool. But don't worry about him, chances are you'll never even meet him." She went on, "So did you meet the other two or did you just see them? Ao really is an adorable little girl isn't she?" she asked.

[RippedNose]

Zach sighed slightly, shaking his head. "Great, a genius child. I'm pretty sure he's already guessed that I slept with his dad" he said, glancing up at the ceiling for a moment. He couldn't help but laugh though, wondering if the kid would be like that. He had seemed rather laid back, like his father, but he had only seen the kid for a minute. He raised an eyebrow when he was told about Teioh's brother, rather curious about that. Utakata had said something earlier about not being able to contact the brunette's siblings as well. "Well, briefly. She really is. She asked me where Teioh was the night before, and told me to tell her mom because she wouldn't believe Teioh" he said, grimacing slightly. He had felt terrible hearing that little girl say something like that. "Then his other son took her away, and appologized to me" he finished, running a hand through his hair. They were cute kids, but Shiro seemed to hate him already, which was quite understandable.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Kyo nodded as Zach explained his encounters with Teioh's kids. She had to admit it was kind of amusing. "They're sweet kids, they really are. And those two boys, they are so protective of there sister. If you really want to get on Shiro's good side you've got to get Ao to really like you." She said with a wink. "And we're willing to help you with whatever you need." She said with a laugh. She took Zach's drink, taking a sip of it for herself before setting it back down. She was silent for a moment before looking up at Zach again, "So, if you still have any question feel free to ask. I can probably answer them just as well as Utakata. Who would still be here if he wasn't so horny all the time." she said with a laugh. She ruffled his hair a little looking him over a little more. He really was attractive, Teioh had done very well for himself here.

[RippedNose]

Zach couldn't help but smile when Kyo said that the twins were protective of their sister. That was rather cute, he had to admit. He and his sister hadn't exactly been close growing up, but they didn't fight much either. He gave a laugh at the idea of getting close to the little girl to win him over, wondering if that would actually work. "Can't be that hard. I'm good with kids, for the most part" he laughed slightly, "And thanks. Who knows, I might need the help." He really hoped it wouldn't be that difficult. He didn't say anything when she picked up his drink, not really minding, laughing though when she spoke. He nodded, thinking about what question to ask next. He raised an eyebrow slightly when she ruffled his hair, wondering how long it had been since somebody had done that to him. It made him feel slightly childish, since his father had done it all the time when he was a kid. "Well here's an easy one," he started, before sighing, "Do Teioh's kids know what hickeys are?" he asked, tilting his head to the side slightly. He was fairly sure that the way Shiro had been staring at his neck, that he did, but he wanted to know for sure.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Kyo had to laugh at the question she was given before she even started to think about the answer. "Well...I don't know. I mean it would probably be rare for Teioh to walk around with them now. But Utakata still flaunts his and he's always around those kids. Utakata was the one that taught Teioh's little sister about all that sort of stuff so I guess yeah they probably do..." She said looking off as though still in thought. She turned back to Zach though as he continued, "Why do you need to know that? Did Teioh leave them on you?" She asked reaching forward and pulling Zach's shirt away from his body to examine his neck and collarbone, Teioh's favourite places to attack. Though it was a quick search it was a fruitless one seeing absolutely nothing, "I don't see any..." she remarked quietly sitting back and putting Zach's shirt back in place, straightening out the collar a little where she had messed it up.

[RippedNose]

Zach nodded as she answered, letting out a slight sigh. So Shiro did know what he was looking at, which explained the death glare he had recieved. He was about to answer when she reached forward, inspecting his neck and collarbone. He let out a light sound of surprise, not having expected that. Laughing slightly, he shook his head. "Yeah well Utakata covered them up this morning. There's, ah, quite a few actually. I forgot to before I went to drop off his ring. . . and Shiro was glaring at my neck, so I was curious" he shrugged. He was almost positive that the albino boy knew what had happened, and he couldn't help but wonder what he would do with that information, if anything. He took a sip of his coffe, really hoping that the boy kept it to himself.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Kyo nodded, as he spoke finally connecting a few of the dots in her head, "Utakata did? So you're a model then. I wish someone had told me that earlier it explained why you're so pretty." Kyo's hands almost shot to the bag at her waist but she hesitated for a moment. "Well like I said, don't worry about Shiro, I don't think he'll do anything anyway, who could he tell aside from his siblings and mother, and it's not like he wants them to be bothered or upset. If he's going to bother anyone with that knowledge it's you. So don't let him get to you." she said. She reached into her bag anyway pulling out a rather large sketch book. "And now that I know you're a model why don't you look through this, tell me if there's anything in there you'd like to wear or model or something I'll make it for you." she said with a smile. "You'll get a discount of course."

[RippedNose]

Zach nodded when Kyo made the connection that he was a model, smiling slightly at the compliment. He was used to them by now, but it was always nice to hear. He sighed slightly, glad to hear that Shiro wouldn't be going around telling people, but he really didn't want to be bothered about it by the boy. "Yeah. Thanks" he said with a small smile, feeling a bit reassurred that this kid wouldn't go spouting about everything to his mother, who probably already knew everything anyways. She had most likely seen them as well, and she had seen Shiro give his father his ring. He watched Kyo's hands move for her bag, tilting his head to the side when she pulled out a sketch book. He blinked for a moment before smiling brightly. "That's really cool, thanks!" he grinned, taking the book from her. "You're a designer?" he guessed, looking down at the book and flipping it open, flipping through a few of the pages. "These are really good" he commented, glancing up at her for a moment.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Kyo smiled and giggled slightly at the compliments on her work. "Yeah, I'm a designer, at least I'm trying to be, it's really tough." She said running her hand through her long black hair. She flipped through the pages honing in on a few little things a couple relatively tight t-shirt with different sort of tears or flares and very interesting patterns, one looking very similar to the shirt Utakata had been wearing. The pants too were similar to the ones Utakata had been wearing. "I think you'd look good in these, there are also a few pairs of boots and a couple hats I drew up that would probably look really good on you." She said. "Utakata was actually wearing this shirt with a different pattern today." She said pointing to a shirt on one of the pages. If you want to pick your own colours and design I'll make you one too. Your body type is really similar to his." She said looking him over again moving her glasses up the bridge of her nose.

[RippedNose]

Zach laughed slightly, nodding. "Yeah, I bet. Which is why I prefer wearing the things other people have worked hard on creating" he grinned. He wasn't the most creative of people, but he wasn't bad. Designing was something he was sure he wouldn't be able to do very well though. He looked at the images on the pages that were flicked through, nodding as she spoke. It was easy for him to picture himself in clothes by this point, since he saw himself in magazines and advertisements fairly often. Wearing clothes, or not, was his job. "Yeah, I do like this one" he nodded, looking it over. He looked down at his own body when she did, able to see the similarities between his and Utakata's bodies easily. Being a model, body types were something he was extrememly familiar with. He flipped a couple more pages, looking for some of the boots and hats she had said would look good on him. He pointed to one of the pairs of boots once he found them. "I love these ones" he said, thinking they would look pretty good on him, and they were kind of awesome looking.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

She watched as he flipped through, for some reason she had a feeling that she would have a lot of freedom coming up with designs and colours for him because she was sure he wouldn't be able to make up his mind with stuff like that. She looked at the boots he picked out as well and laughed slightly. "Good choice." She flipped back a few pages, "and how about these pants while we're at it, they're similar to the ones Utakata was wearing but with more stitching on the legs, which I can make match the other two parts. Oh my, this is going to be fun." She reached back into her bag and pulled out a pencil and a fabric measuring tape. "I'm going to take measurements, I'm actually kind of excited." She was sure he was used to this process anyway so she wasn't going to wait for him to agree to it. She had pulled out another smaller book and opened it to a blank page which was separated for each part of the body and the measurements. "This book is the most handy thing in the world. I think you'd have fun looking through it as well. All of my friends are in there: Teioh, Utakata, Ichiru, Ichiru's brother, Teioh's kids, even rough estimates for Revelation." Kyo said with a laugh as she started measuring his shoulder width and jotting down little measurements she didn't even realize that they hadn't said Revelation's name yet and he probably had no idea who he was. "Also you could make this easier and tell me your height and shoe size and anything else you can think of right off the top of your head." She said before quickly wrapping the tape around his chest.

[RippedNose]

Zach laughed slightly when she complimented his choice, watching as she flipped the pages back. He nodded, looking down at the pants on the paper. "Yeah, I like those ones" he agreed, always having been a fan of stitching that was more than just the normal. Most stitching was just so general and boring. He laughed at the idea of it being fun, glad thata she thought so. It was clear that she loved what she did, as difficult as it must have been. He watched as Kyo pulled out a measuring tape and a pencil, along with another book. He had seen books similar to that a few times, when he bothered to pay attention when he was being measured. He tilted his head to the side for a moment when she spoke, a bit confused for a moment. "Revelation?" he repeated, sure that was a nickname for somebody. After all, who named their child Revelation? He was still as she started to take measurements, knowing this process very well. "Sure. Um, I'm 5'6", my shoe size is eight and a half, my waist size is. . . 26? Or something around there. I don't know any more, surprisingly. For how often I get measured for things, that's a bit sad" he said with a slight laugh shaking his head as she measured around his chest, moving his arms automatically to keep them out of the way.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

She continued to measure him writing out measurements when she got them. "Oh, right. Revelation is Teioh's twin brother. And before you ask, yes that is his name. Revelation Fire. I know, we all thought it was weird too, but we never laughed at it. We were all to scared he'd kill us when we finally met him." Kyo explained. She moved to measure his arms and then his waist and his hips, managing despite the fact that he was sitting down. She got off the table and sank down to kneel beside Zach measuring his legs, she didn't care how strange she looked she just wanted to get this done so she could get to work. She jotted down the last bit before nodding to herself. "But yeah...it's funny..." she turned the page to one with Teioh scribbled at the top of it. See the size of his waist, chest, hips, the circumference of his biceps, and thigh...now we can compare them too..." She flipped the pages a couple time landing on a page with Revelation scribbled at the top. "Seriously, look at the difference, that man is all muscle, it's amazing. Yeah these are just estimates but they seem pretty accurate."

[RippedNose]

Zach nodded when he recieved an answer. So Teioh had a twin brother. It would be interesting to see how alike they looked. He raised an eyebrow at the fact that they were all too scared to laugh at his name. "Scared? Is he really that scary?" he asked, wondering why one person would make these people afraid to laugh at his name. Revelation was probably the most strange name he had ever heard. He moved slightly as Kyo measured different parts of his body, shifting to make it easier for her, knowing exactly how by this point. He couldn't count how many times he had had to have this done. He looked down at the little book when the woman copied down the last bit of information before flipping to another page. He looked at the measurements as instructed, reading down the list. They seemed reasonable for Teioh, and he looked as she flipped to another page, his eyes widening. "Jeez, okay, being scared is understandable. . ." he said, giving a slight laugh. Even with estimates, the differences were amazing, and he couldn't help but wonder even more what they looked like compared to each other.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Kyo nodded as Zach seemed to understand why they were scared off Revelation, "And you know that glare Shiro gives you. Picture that bout about like...1000 times more fierce. Revelation's albino as well it's upsetting that he's so attractive...no one wants to get close to him. We all managed fine but when Teioh left the group when he graduated Revelation just sort of disappeared." She explained closing the book and her sketch book stuffing everything back into her bag. "Well I'm going to have fun making these for you, you can count on that. I can already picture the whole thing on you." She said with a giggle. She took another sip of Zach's drink to find it nearly empty which meant that their little meeting was nearly done, "Now, anymore questions? They're kind of fun to answer." she said with a large smile pushing her hair back behind her ear.

[RippedNose]

Zach grimaced slightly, forced to wonder how scary this person really was. That glare sounded highly intimidating. If it was bad on a kid, 1000 times worse on a man that was that muscled would be insane. He wasn't normally one to be afraid of other people, but this Revelation might just be one that would scare him. His eyebrows furrowed slightly at the mention of the man seeming to dissappear, wondering once again what that was all about. "Yeah, Utakata said something about him disappearing as well" he said, running a hand through his hair. It was weird that somebody would just be gone like that, but then again, he didn't know Teioh's twin at all. He laughed when Kyo put her supplies away, saying that she was going to have fun. "Yeah? And how does it look?" he asked with a grin, leaning back in his chair and crossing his legs. he thought for a moment when he was asked if he had any more questions. He did have a few more, but most of them he wanted to ask Teioh himself. He didn't want to get to know the man solely through his friends. "What's his wife like?" he couldn't help but ask, being truly curious. From the impression he got, she was an unpleasant woman, but she hadn't looked like a bitch when he had seen her, although he had avoided looking at her mostly.

[Kaitou_Dark_Sama]

Kyo giggled slightly that inner girl unleashing itself at the question of how it looked, "Incredibly attractive, I'm so lucky to have such wonderfully beautiful men where my clothing." She said with a laugh. Then Mariko was brought up and she had to think again. What was she like..."Obsessive, paranoid, easily emotional. She gets upset really easily, she always thinks Teioh's doing something to spite her even though she loves him so much and would do anything for him. I don't know I never really knew her that much before she got with Teioh, she was really quiet and to herself in high school." Kyo explained. "She really is a nice person from what I've seen though, she's caring and loving especially towards her family...but I really try not to interact with her...none of us really like her we all see her as the reason Teioh hates his life..." she explained not knowing what else to say about her.
