black magic part 27

[krystalkatzfics]

“You did well” Ryo said almost an hour later when they were all sitting on the stage drinking. Masaki gave the guitarist a smile sipping from the bottle of coke he had. Rina and Erika had refused to serve him alcohol, but he didn’t feel so bad when he noticed that Nino wasn’t drinking anything but 7up. Ryo, Kame, and Tada were already on their fourth beers however and they laughed when Masaki pointed out the half drunk drink Nino had. “Ignore him, he’s in his zone…”

“Zone?”

“Yeah, every performance he will just sit and replay it in his mind pulling out all the things we did wrong and working out how to change it. It’s good to see it actually” Kame said holding up his bottle in a sort of cheers motion before swilling it back. “You should be glad he’s not bouncing…Oh wait…There he goes…”


Kame snorted as Nino stood up and started bouncing up and down his hand slapping against his thigh as his mouth opened and closed. He did a few weird little skips and then stopped his face screwing up as he looked down at his arms and then went back to jumping. “The joys of a rock genius…”

“Feels good, right?” Tada grinned brightly pressing his chest to Ryo’s back his chin resting on his shoulder. Ryo winced at the feeling of another sweaty body against his but he didn’t say anything and in the end just pressed further into his lover. “So where did Nino find you? He never said…”

“I work at Arashi, in the kitchen…And I live with him and Satoshi” Masaki explained with a shrug. He wasn’t anyone important after all. He still couldn’t believe that his school boy fantasy was real and he was on stage with Black Magic.

“I see, well you need practice but you’re better than Jun” Ryo hummed and the other two nodded. It wasn’t the first time he had heard that and he could see the way all three of them tensed at the mention of Jun nervously looking at Nino who had put in some headphones and was jumping up and down like he was in a boxing ring. His eyes were focused on the table across the room where Rina, Erika, and Satoshi were sat. It gave Masaki some courage to ask

“…Um…What happened with Jun? Nobody has really said…”

“He and Nino were dating. They lived together and everything seemed great, but then one day we were having an after show and this girl we have never seen before comes up all excited and tells Nino that she and Jun are dating…And will be moving in together…” Ryo’s eyes darkened with anger as he answered a muscle in his jaw pulsing as though he had just witness the scene all over again.

“Fuck…” Masaki looked at Nino, who was far enough away and too focused on what he was doing, to pay attention to them. He had stopped jumping and had his eyes closed his head bobbing in time with the music he was listening to.

“Yeah, apparently Jun and this girl had been dating for six months. She came that night because she was tired of being a secret…She didn’t know about Nino…At least I don’t think so…” Kame was sad now the excitement of the performance having slipped away as he nibbled his bottom lip. When he spoke again it was in a lower tone “…You have probably seen that Nino isn’t exactly…The most stable? Half of his songs are about…Well…Learning that would have probably ended him if it wasn’t for his old man”

“I wish they would just wake up and realise that they are in love with each other. They are much better suited” Tada hummed and Masaki nodded remembering that Satoshi had admitted that he was in love with Nino. “Anyway! That was the past and now we are the future! To the new member of Black Magic!”

“Cheers!” Ryo and Kame grinned lifting their nearly empty beer bottles and Masaki grinned shyly his cheeks flushing warmly as he held up his coke. The table that held three club owners cheered as well and Masaki had to admire Rina and how well she was handling the loss of her father. She had cried and had looked lost but over all she already seemed to be accepting it with more grace than he would have done.

“So! Tomorrow, we need to quit and settle our apartment and find somewhere to stay, think Mama would take us in until we get another apartment?” Ryo asked looking at his lover but it was Kame who answered

“He might but he might not be so pleased about your pets, he has allergies”

“…He can take an antihistamine” A new voice spoke in a low rumble and Masaki almost squeaked as he turned and saw the producer coming towards them. He was wearing an almost fully black suit with a blood red tie and looked absolutely gorgeous.

“Masa, you’re drooling” Kame chuckled his breath warm against his ear his fingers coming to close his mouth with a little push and Masaki felt his stomach churn like he suddenly had a pit of snakes living in there.

“Sorry Rina, I came as soon as I could, how are you?” Sho asked hurrying to the table and pressing a kiss to Rina’s cheek. Rina flashed a weak smile kissing him back while she took Erika’s welcoming hand and squeezed it in her own.

“Better than I thought…I mean, it’s gonna hurt but…He had a good death and it’s been a long time coming”

“Understandable, but you are allowed to feel it”

“I know, I have Erika to tell me that, and Satoshi…But honestly, I will be okay” She said and Masaki believed her. He had only known her a few days but he could already tell she was one of the strongest people had ever known.

“I GOT IT!” Nino shouted with excitement bouncing up and down again. “Tada, Masaki…Over here…”

“Um…O-kay…”

“It’s always better to just go with it…” Tada said with a grin pressing a kiss to Ryo’s cheek before getting up and walking over to where Nino was doing a strange hopping dance his eyes burning with a fire that Masaki had never seen. “So, what’s up?”

“I know what was missing”

“And what was that?” Tada asked as though he was completely expecting this and Masaki supposed he was. It seemed to be a ritual with Nino, and he stood silently while Nino went on and on about things that he couldn’t really understand. Every so often he made a few grunting noises and looked to Tada for help and the skinny man grinned and winked mouthing “I’ll fill you in later” With that promise in mind his mind drifted and he found himself looking over at Sho his heart skipping when he saw that the man was staring at him with an unreadable expression. He was older than he was by a good few years, but Masaki had always been more interested in older men. Sho realised he was looking and gave him a smile and Masaki turned a bright red quickly looking at Nino again.
