Re: Settle Down.

Teioh was silent, not saying another word, as the movie continued. It was actually quite interesting and he applauded his choice. After the movie ended and the credits began to roll he let out a content sigh and turned back to Zach, but he didn't move from where he was, keeping his fingers laced with Zach's. He was going to wait a little longer he didn't want to have to deal with a run in with Zach's sister again. Thinking of that though... "Ah, is the mark still really noticeable?" He said pointing with his free hand to where Zach's sister had struck him earlier. He knew it would be difficult to come up with an excuse as to why it looked like he had been slapped if he had just gone over to Utakata's. The lights had already to fade back on and he couldn't help but be slightly worried about Jessica approaching them again, but he didn't dare look over towards her, less he jinx them.

Zach was quite content watching the rest of the movie, which was really very good. He hadn't seen any ads for it before hand, but he really liked it. The hand in his was quite comfortable, something he had always enjoyed, although he hadn't really had anybody to hold hands with in a while. The movie ended, and Zach looked to Teioh, who hadn't made any move to get up. He stayed where he was, blinking slightly at the question. His eyes scanned Teioh's cheek, shaking his head slightly after a moment. "Not really, it's faded a bit, but its also still pretty dark in here" he replied, looking up at the dim lights that had turned on when the movie finished. "Does it hurt?" he asked curiously, wondering how angry he was going to have to get at his sister the next time he saw her.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Sat Jul 23, 2011 6:22 pm

Teioh sighed when Zach said that it hadn't faded completely, if it was there at all he had no doubt that either Mariko or his kids would notice it and that was the last thing he wanted. he smiled again though when Zach continued on to ask whether or not it hurt, "Don't worry, it's fine. It's been a long time since I've been slapped like that, but I'm still used to it enough that it doesn't hurt for more then a few seconds." He said, scratching the back of his head. He looked over to where Jessica had been sitting and finding her gone. He was a little bit worried about running into her outside of the theatre and he hoped dearly that she had either forgotten about them or didn't care enough to stick around and wait for them. He let go of Zach's hand and stood up. He continued to smile down at Zach, "Would there be room for me at your place, I can't really show up like this, and I did tell everyone I was over at Utakata's so it won't be a big deal if I don't go home." He said with a small, almost unnoticeable sigh through his nose.

by RippedNose Sat Jul 23, 2011 6:50 pm

Zach frowned slightly at the response he recieved, not at the fact that it didn't hurt Teioh anymore, but the fact that he had gotten used to it in the first place. "Hmm. I'm glad it doesn't hurt anymore" he said, giving a slight smile afterwards. He couldn't help but wonder how many times the brunette had been slapped before. His gaze followed the older man's to where his sister had been sitting, glad to see that the older blonde had vacated the theatre, but he had no idea where she could be at the moment. He hoped she had already left, but there was no telling. His green eyes flicked back to Teioh, and he smiled slightly. "There's always room for you at my place" he replied, thinking back to when he had first met the older man, and offered to let him stay whenever he liked, before he had even slept with him.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Sat Jul 23, 2011 7:18 pm

Teioh laughed slightly leaning down and giving Zach a kiss before picking up his drink, which still had a good chunk left and stepping into the aisle. "Then lets get a move on, shall we?" he said as he headed towards the door, pulling his phone out of his pocket deciding it would be best to give people heads up. First thing was first he would call Utakata and fill him in on his little plan, just incase Mariko decided to snoop and called Utakata to check up on Teioh. With the clicks of a few buttons Utakata's house number was being dialed. He stepped outside of their theatre, glad that it was rather quiet, as he let the phone ring. The person who answered though was not Utakata but Ichiru, not that it really mattered. "Hello?" Ichiru asked with a sigh. Teioh greeted his friend and it was quite funny to hear the rather obvious shock in the other person's voice.

Teioh went on to explain that he wasn't going home and that he had told Mariko that he was over at Utakata's which Ichiru listened to quietly and Teioh could tell he was nodding at some points. He told Ichiru some excuses as to why Teioh wouldn't be able to answer the phone and told him to be sure he passed the information a long to Utakata, not that he doubted he wouldn't. There was a small silence before Ichiru said he would leave out asking what exactly Teioh was up to. To which Teioh responded, "I'll tell you another time, I'm sure Utakata's going to want to hear all~ about everything as well, and I guess I do sort of owe him an explanation anyways. Especially since I already told Kyo everything..." Ichiru laughed and left with, "I'll be sure to tell him you said that." They said their goodbyes and hung up. Teioh took a deep breath before dialing the next number, his own home phone, a little worried, not really wanting to talk to Mariko.

To his relief it was Kuro who answered the phone, and being the good father he was the first words out of his mouth were, "What are you doing up this late?" to which Kuro very bluntly replied, "Playing video games." Teioh couldn't think of anything else to say to that, so he left the subject alone wishing his son weren't so much like he was in every way, it was hard to order himself around that much he knew and he knew very well. He went on to tell Kuro to tell his mother that he wouldn't be coming home, that he would be spending the night at Utakata's house and he would be home in the morning. Kuro, being the child he still was, couldn't help but ask Teioh 'why', the one question kids always asked, and always needed to know the answer to. He explained that he didn't want to walk home in the dark and that Utakata and Ichiru had already had quite a bit to drink and it wouldn't be safe for them to drive him, luckily Kuro wasn't aware of all the other options he had of getting home, but it wasn't unusual for Teioh to stay over at Utakata's anyways so Kuro quickly dropped the 'why'. "Alright, then I'll see you in the morning, bye dad." Kuro said and Teioh said his goodbye as well before hanging up and letting out a sigh.

Turning to Zach he smiled, "Alright, everything good, no one's going to be questioning me, and if I'm really lucky this lovely hand print is going to be gone in the next couple of hours so I don't have to worry about any unwanted questions." He explained with a bright smile, heading towards the door. "Overlooking everything, it really has been a wonderful night hasn't it..." Teioh said with a laugh. He tilted his head up and let out a rather content sigh, "And of course.. it's not done yet." he added looking back down at Zach unable to keep the suggestive look off his face or the tone from his voice.

by RippedNose Sat Jul 23, 2011 11:14 pm

Zach smiled at the kiss he recieved, grabbing his empty drink, nodding as Teioh spoke and letting out a light "Mmhmm". He followed the taller man out of the theatre, sticking his empty cup into the garbage can on his way past, watching as the brunette pulled out his phone, no doubt letting people know he wouldn't be going home. He was silent as Teioh spoke to whoever was on the other line, which he figured out was Ichiru, listening to the taller man talk to his friend. That conversation ended, and Teioh dialed again, this time he assumed it would be his home even before Teioh put the device back to his ear. He grinned slightly at what the brunette said to who Zach was assuming was one of his children, biting back a slight laugh.

The conversations ended, and Teioh put his phone away, the older man turning to Zach. "Awesome. I'm sure it'll be gone pretty soon" the blonde said with a smile. He knew it would be a rather bad thing if Teioh just turned up home with a handprint on his face, that clearly stated he had been slapped. He continued to walk with the taller man, smiling brightly. "Yeah, it has. Thanks, for everything" he smiled, looking up at Teioh. He couldn't help but blush slightly at the suggestive look he was given, and the tone Teioh's voice had taken on. "That's true" he said, giving a slight laugh, running a hand through his hair. He had expected that to come up, so the statement was no surprise to him.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Sun Jul 24, 2011 4:05 pm

Teioh laughed wrapping his arm around Zach's waist smiling down at him for a moment before heading out the door, he threw his mostly empty drink out on the way and ran his now free hand through his hair. "This is going to be the first time I stay at your place..." He said, pausing for a moment and looking upwards, "Well... at least... the first time that I'll remember." he said with a laugh looking back down at Zach, he started walking out into the parking lot not completely sure where he was going but sure Zach would lead him to where he was supposed to be going. It was very dark out now and a few stars glittered in the cloudless sky. Teioh couldn't help the huge grin that spread across his face as he looked around, realizing that, despite everything, he really was happy right now. He laughed slightly and before long couldn't stop himself from laughing pulling Zach tight against his side. He felt his throat clench slightly and he wondered briefly what had brought on this little burst of emotion, not that it really mattered.

by RippedNose Sun Jul 24, 2011 11:00 pm

Zach gave a short laugh as well, a bright smile not leaving his face. He was sure at this point, it wouldn't be leaving any time soon. He was incredibly happy, having had a wonderful night, despite his sister, and he was well aware that it wasn't over yet. He hummed a laugh, nodding. "Yeah, it will. And hopefully not the last" he said, running a hand through hi hair. He started walking towards his car, pulling his keys out of his pocket. The blonde was quite looking forward to actually be able to sleep with Teioh, instead of them having sex, and then having to go somewhere, or get up and do something. Glancing up at the brunette, he was quite happy to see how happy Teioh looked as well, not quite sure why he was laughing though. He had no problem being held against the older man's side like that, quite the opposite really. He couldn't help but lean into Teioh slightly as they walked, hitting the button to unlock his car as they approached it. "Here it is" he said, nodding at the shiny black car parked in front of them. It wasn't too long a drive to his place, and he knew they would be home in only a few minutes.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:18 am

He let go of Zach as the car unlocked, stretching slightly, still chuckling to himself. He opened the door and sat himself in the passenger seat. He closed the door behind him and let out a heavy sigh. Doing up his seat belt he let out another sigh letting his head fall back still laughing to himself but he could feel as tears escaped his eyes and fell down his cheek before falling of his chin, one landing on his hand making him flinch he looked down at it his eyes widening for a moment before he started laughing harder. He hugged himself around the stomach bending forward slightly, wondering if Zach thought he was insane. He could feel his body shaking, partially from crying, partially because he couldn't help but be scared. He was scared about the future he always had been but it was getting worse. He felt young around Zach but reality was far from what had happened tonight. He really did need to talk about Zach but even after thinking about it as much as he had he couldn't bring himself to say it, he had no idea where to start now.

by RippedNose Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:14 am

Zach pulled his own door open as Teioh moved around to the passenger side, sliding into the driver's seat. He turned to look at the brunette, who was still laughing, but then he bent over slightly, and the blonde was sure even in the darkness that those were tears he could see. "Teioh. . . are you okay?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. He leaned across his own seat, resting a hand on the older man's knee, looking at him in slight concern. He wasn't exactly sure what was going on, and he was rather confused. They had known each other for less than a week, and they had each seen the other cry now. Zach couldn't help but internally cringe at the fact that there was normally something wrong ith relationships like that. There was plenty wrong with their relationship anyways.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:36 pm

Teioh shook his head he didn't completely trust words to come from his mouth properly but he had to say something. He lifted his head and looked at Zach smiling brightly despite the tears running down his cheeks. "Don't worry, I'm fine. N-nothing's wrong." He said with a very slow nod. He let his hand rest on top of Zach's on his knee looking down at it for a moment before back at Zach. "So much has happened in such a short while. Twelve years... twelve years I've been married to that woman... it feels like both no time at all and eternity. I just... can't believe I actually let myself live like that for so long." He said, not taking his eyes off of Zach for even a moment, keeping his blues locked on the model's green. "I've been... seriously considering leaving Mariko. I-I... I want to talk about it with my kids still, I've said that... b-but... what do you think about it?" He said, he had never stuttered this much in all of his life and he could feel himself shaking, tears were still pouring down his cheeks as well.

by RippedNose Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:57 pm

Zach frowned slightly when the older man shook his head, not quite sure he believed that at the moment. The bright smile was a bit of a contrast to the tears running down his face, and he let out an almost inaudible sigh when Teioh started speaking. He wasn't sure of what to make of it, glancing down at his hand as well when the brunette covered it with his own. He looked back up, meeting Teioh's blue eyes steadily as the taller man began to explain. He pressed his lips together slightly as he listened, letting out a long breath once Teioh finished speaking. "Well. . . I think, you should do whatever makes you happiest. No matter what your decision is, I'll be behind you on it. Sure, I'd love to have you all to myself, but I do still feel selfish about that. . ." he spoke slowly, reaching up with his free hand to wipe some of the tears off of Teioh's face as he spoke.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Mon Jul 25, 2011 2:14 pm

Teioh laughed again, looking down at the space between them as Zach wiped tears from his face. He let his hand tighten around the one Zach held on his knee. He smiled as he spoke again, "Of course, no matter what you're going to have to share. There are a lot of people who want to have me to themselves. Your just the one I really love...The one I want to be with." he said. "But, I'm really worried about my kids. I don't want to leave them, but I don't know if I can take them, and I don't know how you'd feel about or how'd they feel about it." He said shaking his head, tilting it downwards he bit his lip slightly, "I'm so confused... and honestly... I'm a little scared." he said closing his eyes taking a deep breath as he did so. He could still feel his body shaking though the tears had, for the most part stopped flowing. "I've never been so scared before..." he said closing his eyes tighter curling in on himself slightly.

by RippedNose Mon Jul 25, 2011 2:49 pm

Zach gave a short laugh, not finding that hard to believe. He would always have to share Teioh with somebody, as much as he didn't want to. He smiled at the last bit of that, unable to help but smile when he heard the older man mention loving him. It just made him happy, no matter what. He frowned though as Teioh continued to speak, letting out a light sigh. "Well. . . if your kids seem fine with it, and you do leave your wife, I'm sure you can settle on a split custody of some sort" he pointed out, the only solution he really had to Teioh not wanting to leave his kids. "I'd be fine either way. . . I always wanted kids, but I have no idea how they'd feel about it." Zach sighed, biting his lip slightly as Teioh said he was confused and scared. He immediately pulled both of his hands away from the brunette so that he could wrap them both around Teioh's neck, hugging him tightly, not caring that the older man was half curled, or that he was lying across the seats. "It'll all be fine. . . we can work it all out" he said quietly, running the fingers on one hand through the taller man's hair.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:06 pm

Teioh sighed, he was glad to know that Zach wouldn't mind his kids, especially great because leaving them was really the last thing Teioh wanted. They were one of the few things that had kept him sane in the past twelve years and he loved them more then most things. In fact, he had no doubt that the reasons he was still sane and able to live with everything were the three loves he had had before he met Zach: his kids, his friends and his music. When Zach hugged him he straightened up slightly throwing his arms around the younger man holding him tightly, one hand knotting into his blond hair his eyes shut tight. The fingers through his hair were slightly calming and he was so glad he got this caring treatment. "Y-yeah... Yeah we can... now... lets get going." He said letting go of Zach putting a hand on the model's shoulder and pushing him out of the hug, giving him one small kiss and smiling before motioning slightly towards the steering wheel urging him to start up and get them to a bed... this time more because he was tired then anything.

by RippedNose Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:13 pm

Zach rested his forehead against the older man's shoulder when he straightened up, arms encircling him tightly, a hand going to his hair. He continued to move his fingers through Teioh's hair. He smiled slightly when the brunette spoke, hoping he was feeling at least a little better. He pulled his arms away when the other man let go, shifting to sit properly in his seat after Teioh gave him a short kiss. "Mm'kay. It's not that long a drive, so we'll be there in a few" he said, sticking the key in the igition and turning the car on. He put on his seatbelt now, easily changing gears and pulling out of his parking spot, leaving the lot and heading towards his home. "You okay now?" he asked, glancing sideways at the brunette in the dark. He didn't want to pry, or really dwell on that, but he was curious, and he wanted to be sure Teioh was alright.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:47 pm

Teioh let his head rest against the window as the car started up and they headed out of the parking lot and onto the street. He couldn't help but stare out the window as the lights from outside danced across his face. He watched as cars whizzed by them and let out the faintest of sighs before Zach spoke to him again. He turned and looked at the younger man with a smile on his face. "A bit better. Still shaking a little bit... but better." He said holding out his hand which was still visibly shaking which he figured wouldn't go away for a while. "My eyes kind of hurt now though..." he said before looking back out the window, pressing the side of his forehead against the glass again letting his hand drop back down into his lap. It would be weird for him to go over to someone's house and not have some fun with them but he was seriously considering going to sleep when he got there, he would have to see how things turned out he guessed.

by RippedNose Mon Jul 25, 2011 7:58 pm

Zach nodded slightly at the answer he recieved, taking his eyes off of the road for a moment to see Teioh's shaking hand. He hadn't seen somebody shake like that in a long time and he couldn't help but worry about the older man, even if he said he was a bit better. he couldn't help but let out a slight laugh at the last bit, shaking his head. "Yeah, I know what that's like. I hate crying" he said, running one hand through his hair, the other still on the wheel as he drove. The only time he had cried in a long time had left his eyes hurting for a very long time afterwards, but mostly because he had kept thinking about it, even while trying to distract himself. Zach navigated the familiar route home easily, not even having to really think about it, making turns automatically.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Tue Jul 26, 2011 7:27 pm

Teioh nodded slowly letting his eyes close, not opening them again until the car had stopped. He opened his eyes and looked up at Zach's apartment building sitting up in his seat and rubbing his eyes dry with his sleeves, blinking a couple times with a small sigh. He ran his hands through his hair making sure it fell nicely about his face. He undid his seat belt and got out of the car. He closed the door and ended up leaning against it, putting his hand sin his pockets he looked up at the sky with a frown on his face. A small breeze passed over his face and through his hair and he let out another sigh. It hadn't been very long since the last time he had frowned like this but it was strange being so conflicted with his emotions. He frowned but he still felt incredibly happy like so much was right in the world. But he knew he still had a long way to go before anything was perfect.

by RippedNose Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:26 pm

Zach was silent for the rest of the drive, glancing over at the brunette every once and a while, wondering what he was thinking. The short ride was soon over, and he pulled into the parking lot outside of his apartment building. He turned the car off and got out, locking it once he and Teioh had both closed their doors. He walked around the side of the car, to where the older man was leaning against the car door. "It's a nice night" he commented, looking up to where the taller man's gaze was, to the night sky. He looked back down to Teioh, holding his hand out to the other man wordlessly. Teioh had been frowning, and he was curious once again about what he was thinking about, not wanting him to be so upset about things. He was well aware how complicated and bad this all was, but he knew they could get through it.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Wed Jul 27, 2011 8:55 am

"Yeah... It is isn't it..." Teioh replied not taking his eyes off of the sky for a while longer. He looked down at Zach and eyed the hand he was being offered before forcing a smile back onto his face. "Sorry for acting like such a ass, I don't mean to upset you. Just got a lot on my mind, that's all." He said with a small laugh. He put his hand in Zach's lacing their fingers together before walking again, he was leaving the guiding to Zach but he wanted to get a move on. He let out a sigh through his nose and let his eyes close, swaying slightly as he walked towards the large building. "Maybe... we should just go to sleep..." He said his words rather slurred together, how tired he was rather obvious. "I can hardly believe I'm saying this, but sex can wait till another time. I just really need to get some sleep right now." He said, running his mouth slightly, his words rather low and run together.

by RippedNose Wed Jul 27, 2011 9:42 am

Zach gave a small smile when the older man did, shaking his head slightly. "Its fine, really. I understand" he said, looking down at their now clasped hands, starting to walk towards the building. His eyes flicked back up to the taller man's face, noticing easily how tired he looked. He laughed slightly when Teioh said that they should just go to bed, and skip sex. "That's fine. I have no problem with that" he said with a nod, "I'm not used to having sex so often anyways." Zach shrugged, leading the way to the outer door of the apartment. He entered the code easily and it clicked open, a green light coming on to show that it was unlocked. He grabbed the handle and pulled it open, pulling Teioh inside with him. It was times like this he wished he didn't have to go all the way up the elevators to get to his home.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Wed Jul 27, 2011 9:59 am

Teioh laughed slightly opening his eyes and looking down at the blond, "Maybe I changed my mind, we're going to have to get you used to having sex this often. Because if I want to spend my life with you, you can expect that we are going to have sex a lot." He said with a rather sly smirk. He followed Zach inside walking over to the elevator and pushing the button to call it down. "Yeah, you're definitely going to need to get used to having sex often." He said nodding slowly as he thought it over a little bit more. He figured if he could get sex anytime he wanted it he would get sex anytime he wanted it. It was more difficult with Mariko, especially with his kids there the entire time, but it would be completely different with Zach he was sure and he was going to have fun with it... just... not tonight.

by RippedNose Wed Jul 27, 2011 10:06 am

Zach walked with the older man over to the elevator, laughing and shaking his head slightly. "Yeah, I figured that. I'm sure I'll get used to it pretty easily" he ran a hand through his hair, not really caring that it messed up the blonde locks, like most models would. "I just haven't really had anybody for a long time" he admitted, shrugging slightly. It didn't really bother him, although he was thrilled to have Teioh now. The elevator doors opened in front of them, and he stepped inside, hitting the button for the seventh floor. He knew that this was the second time he was bringing Teioh to his home, but it really felt like the first, seeing as the brunette had been unconcious, and had to be carried up the first time.

by Kaitou_Dark_Sama Wed Jul 27, 2011 10:12 am

Teioh smiled and stepped into the elevator as it opened for the two of them. He watched as Zach hit the button for the seventh floor and the doors slid shut without anyone else coming in. He pulled Zach closer, wrapping his free hand around Zach's waist leaning down and pressing their lips together, "It's not that you're going to get used to it." he started removing his hand from Zach's and running it through Zach's blond hair, fixing it a bit, "You're going to get addicted to it." He said before pressing their lips together again with a small sigh, his hand lacing tightly into Zach's hair, pressing their bodies closer together as he did so. He wondered if the elevator would stop on any other floors, if anyone would get the pleasant surprise of seeing them locked together like this. Teioh wouldn't care at all but it would be cute to see Zach's reaction to it.
