"It is cheesed with power and the morality of which it goes mad," Nanuk softly sang to himself, paper with lyrics written on it in his left hand while the other set of digits held a lit Marlboro menthol. Is it bad that I'm not feeling this song? he wondered silently, taking a small drag from his cigarette before eventually finishing it and putting it out.
A sigh left the twenty-six-year-old's lips, dark eyes scanning over the paper once more before the sound of scratching caught his attention. Turning his head, a tiny calico-colored beagle was softly pawing at the screen door that separated the two. A small smile curled the corners of Nanuk's lips, and he carefully opened up the door. "Shiloh wants to come out, too, eh?" he asked softly as the puppy took one cautious step outside. Once full outdoors, the puppy stared out across his line of vision before playfully yipping, and jumping around to face his owner. His tongue hung out of his tiny mouth, big dark brown sphere gazing up at the Japanese.
Nanuk chuckled, folding up the paper in his hand and stuffed it into the back pocket of his pants. He absently pulled out another cigarette and balanced it between his two lips while his rolled the sleeves of his button-up shirt. Quickly lighting it and stuffing the lighter back into his pocket, the man whistled for Shiloh to follow him.
He slowly took the puppy one step at a time down the stairs and onto the lawn out front of the downtown apartments. Another sigh left Nanuk's lips, a hand coming up to brush back some of his chocolate brown, crimped fringe. "So," he said, exhaling some smoke and glancing down to the dog. "Y'think the song is good, pup?"
Chuckling slowly bubbled up and out of the twenty-six-year-old, a bright grin spreading across his pale profile. The puppy, too into looking for a place to potty, kept his back turned away from his master, but his tail was wagging to show he had heard Nanuk. "This is why I want to write our own lyrics more often. That way V Rec won't hand us silly songs that don't make sense."
Minutes later the brunette put his second fag out, and tossed it out onto the street like the littering smoker he was. Gently picking up Shiloh, Nanuk carefully jogged back up the steps and back into the apartment. It was always weird feeling to the man when he was home alone. The place felt so, ...Empty.
Shaking his head, Nanuk knocked any dirt off his cowboy boots and set them off to the side of the front door. He wandered from there into the kitchen where his kittens, Motzart and Princess, were rolling around the linoleum together. Though it was cute and a bit amusing, the Japanese made a light hissing noise that brought both felines to a stop.
Princess scurried out of the kitchen, tail straight up, and attacked the puppy. Nanuk chuckled, shaking his head and opened up the fridge. I really shouldn't be eating without Akeno, but... M'starving. he thought, lightly rubbing his growling stomach. "But what do I want?" he asked aloud, closing the fridge and opening up the freezer. What came out as a huff escaped the man, "I'll just wait. Maybe Aka-chan will have some idea on something."
Instead of going away empty-handed, though, the Voice vocalist quickly made some instant coffee, and then exited out into the tiny living room. He stopped back a large fish tank, and fed the large goldfish swimming around, "Bubbles, m'dear. You're too pretty for words."
His next stop was his bedroom, pausing to fed the black rodent named Jinx, and then slipping into the bathroom. He turned the light on, and took a few seconds to study his face in the mirror, absently poking at the freckle under his right eye. "Hm." he mused. "I should get a shower so I don't smell like smoke when Aki gets back."
With this in mind, Nanuk finished off his coffee and went to get a shower. Fifteen minutes later, he came out with a towel wrapped around his lower half just as he heard the apartment door open. And tiny Shiloh started to bark happily, "Shiloh, quit." Exiting the restroom, Nanuk leaned against the door frame, smiling over to the new arrival. "Hi." he greeted warmly.

EYES were unphased as he walked, gait a bit wavery. It would be clear--to any passerby--that the Japanese wasn't aware of his surroundings. His feet were merely following the familiar path to his home. His home where he felt safe.
WHERE Nanuk was.
AN
[/color] absent smile lit his lips, at the thought of his friend. Nanuk had always been there for him--and continued to take care of him, now, even though that man was gone. Out of his life. EVEN if it was a zoo, the apartment kept Akeno safe. It was a small area, filled with people and animals he could trust, no matter how eccentric the residents could be at times. AKENO swallowed hard, and brushed his hair out of his face as he came to the door. Fingers hesitated only slightly before they moved to allow his entrance. It's safe, here, he reminded himself--but despite this there was still the slightest of flinches at the dog's loud greeting. LIFTING his gaze to the other man, the blonde attempted at a smile. "H-Hello, Nan--" Cutting himself off as the sight in front of him registered, Akeno blushed and stammered, "Y-you're, uhmn... You h-have no clothes on...?"[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] ----------------------------------------------------- || NOTES ??! || Head hurts. This might be all over the place.

A small grin twitched into place at his friend's blush, eyes falling to the puppy who was waiting patiently at Akeno's feet for him to pet. "We're both men, aren't we?" he asked with a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders. "So there's... nothing to hide." His grin twitched higher as he turned toward his bedroom, pulling the towel away from his body to dry his hair as he walked into the other room.
He dressed, and returned out into the main room now in only a pair of loose, grey sweat pants. He smelt clean, and like his cologne which was Adidas for men. "So." Nanuk started to speak, still working away with the towel on his head in order to get his tawny hair dry. "How are you?"
The twenty-six-year-old Japanese lightly flopped himself down on the couch, crossing his legs Indian style, and pulling both kittens up into his lap. Both Princess and Motzart stared up at their 'father' and blinked, heads wobbling the slightest bit. Nanuk absently patted the spot along side of him for Akeno to sit, a new smile painting its way across his pale and makeup-free profile.
"Have you read the lyrics to 'Silly God Disco'?" he asked. "Not only do they want us to do a remake of the GazettE's song, but... The words are... baffling for lack of a better term." The man sighed, lightly dropping the towel over top of the kittens and gently fingers through his now wavy, wet locks. "Maybe it's just me. Eh?" he asked, turning his attention over to the fair-haired male.
Nanuk scanned his friend over, friendly eyes smiling in place of his lips now. "Oh! Shame on me. I almost ate something without you, but... Eh. Couldn't think of anything to snack on." the brunette admitted, a guilty expression forming. "What do you say we order in? Say pizza or... something?"

-----------------------------------------------------
ANY argument Akeno may have had to that statement died in his throat. He glanced away, gave a small, slightly submissive nod, and shifted his weight to the other foot. It wasn't like he hadn't seen Nanuk naked before, of course--it wasn't a rare event, with how close their band had become since the first rehearsal--after Akeno had left Combat Thrills, and SME.
STILL, the blonde, it appeared, was a lot more modest than his roommate. It's not just that, his mind whispered, and he quickly shook his head in response. The little voice was right, though. Akeno wouldn't have been caught naked bacause, well... He was ashamed of his body. And the marks made upon it.
AFTER
[/color] the other man exited to his room, Akeno crouched down to appease the puppy, cautiously running his hand over the wiry fur. Murmuring a greeting--and absently saying hello to the rest of Nanuk's 'pack', the twenty-seven-year-old slid off his dark jacket, placing it instead on their coat rack. " I'M... Me," he replied, for lack of anything better to say. Giving a small shrug, the Japanese obediently shuffled over and settled next to Nanuk, legs curling up as he leaned back into the fabric. FUMBLING with his hair, Akeno shook his head. He didn't have a lot to say on the subject--he liked The GazettE's music, sure, but had never been a fan of the bouncy song in question. "...Why can't Voice just do its own music?" he timidly asked, glancing light eyes over. AKENO dazed out into this thought a moment, allowing himself a mental review of their lyrics--lyrics that held more meaning to him than English lines strung together. The younger man's voice, though, jolted him out of his thoughts, and he blinked confusedly at Nanuk before the words registered. " N-NO, you... Didn't have to wait for me." The blonde switched his gaze to his knees, another blush forming. Why did he bother? Not like my opinion really matters. Akeno took a deep breath, then absentmindedly leaned his body over to the side, resting the side of his head against the brunette's arm. VOICE soft and a little tired, he murmured, "I'm not much in the mood for pizza... Maybe, uhmn. R-rice, or something?" Fingers twitched before moving to the opposite arm, brushing against the sleeve's fabric that hid the healed burns.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] ----------------------------------------------------- || NOTES ??! || n/a.

The younger of the pair rolled his eyes playfully, a grin forming back into place. "I can see that, Aka-chan." he stated, a soft chuckle slipping free of his throat. "But I meant... You're alright, yes?" Nanuk tilted his head to the side, studying his band mate. Oh, Akeno... he mused silently, a gently sigh cascading out.
A hand absently reached out, cautiously touching the older Japanese on the knee. "Mess with your hair enough, and you'll make it fall out." he warned in a soft tone of voice. When he was younger, Nanuk used to twirl his hair and at one point, ended up having to shave his head because he's managed to pull a big chunk of hair out. Needless to say, he quit that habit in a heartbeat. After all, her prefer not to shave his head. He looked funny without longer locks.
Pulling his hand back, the brunette uncovered his two kittens; both now curled up against each other and sleeping away. They sure do get tuckered easily. his mind mused again. He shrugged, lifting his attention back over to the twenty-seven-year-old, "I'm not sure why. Though I've never questioned Virgin because they have pretty much made our success smooth. Y'know?" Locking eyes with the other man, Nanuk could feel the slightly bit of heat rise in his own cheeks. It was out of character for him in a sense because he was so cool, calm and collected.
"And why shouldn't I have waited for you?" he asked, a frown tugging the corners of his mouth down. "Aken-" words cut off as the guitarist leaned over and on him. Heh. the mind spoke again. If only you'd be this more relaxed all the time, Aka-chan.
Carefully, Nanuk lifted a hand and gently brushed some hair out of his friends face. "Rice sounds good." he said, though if he was really being honest, he wasn't in the mood for rice. That was the first thing he'd looked at when searching earlier, and he's passed on it in order to think of something else. "Here."
Nanuk gently pulled the blonde back into his original sitting position, brushing back a few more light-colored strands of hair from Akeno's face, and slid the kittens into the older man's lap. "They will go right back to sleep, okay?" he spoke, trying to keep things calm. "Sit here and I'll go make some rice."
He stood, stretched and then brushed his finger tips across the two sets of dot scars from his old hip bone piercings. Turning his head, nose piercing sparkling in the light for a second, he grinned down at Akeno. "Sticky rice good for you?" he asked. He leaned in to kiss Akeno's forehead, but stopped himself before actually doing so and instead, lightly bonked heads with the older man.
"Don't go running off, now. I'll be done in a jiffy." he whispered. Standing straight again, he whistled for Shiloh, and both slipped into the kitchen. The sound of pots clanking together, and water running filled the apartment. And just like he'd promised, Nanuk came back out shortly after, flexing the muscles in his arms. "Hey! Why don't you go get a shower and unwind a bit? By then rice will be done, and they we can sit, eat and watch a movie together?"

HE bit his lip at the further question, and gave a small nod. He was home, wasn't he? And he'd been living his life. The comment made his fingers twitch, then fall away from one of the long, thin braids. There were few things he took pride for, when it came to his body, but Akeno did love his hair.
SHRUGGING slightly at the implication, Akeno had to admit that Virgin Records was a much better company to deal with. It was only after joining Voice that he was able to really explore his talent. Even if Virgin wanted them to do a cover, it was SM Entertainment that was controlling.
AKENO
[/color] nodded at the agreement, a bit relieved that his idea hadn't been turned down. When the kittens were placed in his lap, however, a sort of sense of panic rose in him. It wasn't the cats themselves--Akeno was fine with all of Nanuk's pets; he accepted them as his family, as he accepted the other man. That Nanuk was leaving him in charge of the living, however, instilled concerns. Irrational as it was, the possibility of something going wrong was...overwhelming. AT the reassurance, he allowed a small nod, though the fidgeting didn't stop. While he waited for the brunette to return, his gaze fixed upon the wobbly, sleepy creatures bumbling around his lap before curling. Mozart blinked up at him before snuggling against Princess, and even this smallest of actions brought a twitch to Akeno's lips. "Good kitty..." the Japanese murmured, and once more relaxed against the couch before lifting his gaze to the younger, leaving man. He nodded, adding in a soft voice, "That would be, uhmn, l-lovely, yes. Arigatou."WHEN Nanuk returned, the twenty-seven-year-old fixed his eyes on the younger man again, absently studying over the figure. He's stronger than me, came the small voice, causing him to bite his lip again. Better-looking, too. Not as feminine.LOST in thought, he nearly missed the suggestion. "What? O-oh, uhmn." Akeno stroked along the kittens' coats while considering it. He didn't want a chance of Nanuk seeing his scars--even the ones the other knew about. They were...creepy. And gross. But the brunette was right, it would be good for him to 'unwind'. "UHMN, alright, I suppose," he mumbled, watching the cats before easing them off his lap once more, and settling them on the cushion. Glancing up to Nanuk, the blonde got to his feet before exiting to his room, changing into a robe, and moving into their bathroom. It wasn't long before steam and heated water flowed over him, skimming across his pale skin and adding a sting to the already angry-red, new slash against his thigh. Akeno shuddered out a deep breath, grimace painting its way across his lips. IT wasn't long before the blonde exited again, robe curled around his slim figure, a rope tied around his waist. Hair slung over his shoulders, digits loosely braiding, Akeno leaned against the wall next to the goldfish tank. "So, uhmn, how was your d-day so far...anyway?"[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] ----------------------------------------------------- || NOTES ??! || n/a. [/size][/blockquote][/size]

Nodding, the younger Japanese watched the blonde get up from the sofa and head off to get cleaned. A small smirk twitched at the corners of his lips, and there was a brief pause before the twenty-six-year-old moved over to the cushion the kitten were now lounging on. He lightly poked the tip of both kitten's ears, making the ear spazz-twitch for a second. Motzart even lifted his head, tiny eyes opening slight in slits, yawned and then laid his head back down. "Silly fuzzball." the owner softly mused aloud.
His attention was pulled away from the felines as he heard Akeno coming out of the bathroom. Perking his head up, he studied the robe-clothed male, Amazing. his mind spoke, making Nanuk blink and quickly look away. Maybe he won't notice I was staring?
Deciding it didn't matter if Akeno did or did not notice, he moved onto the question at hand. The brunette lightly yawned, scratching at the back of his right ear before answering. "It was alright. Kind of boring being here alone, but...
[/b]" he spoke, shrugging once again. " The 'pack' kept me company for the most part. Though after awhile you want real human contact or you'll think you're going crazy talking to animals." Then you would be legally insane because of how much you speak to your pets. This was true, and honestly, it didn't bother Nanuk that he spoke to his animals as much as he did Akeno or any of the other members of Voice. Slowly getting to his feet, Nanuk wandered over to Akeno and lightly placed a hand on his shoulder. " Not to freak you out or sound like a pervert, Aka-chan," he started, eyes falling down to his band mate's collarbone. " You're starting to make me curious about what you look like under this robe-thing." There was a long pause as he studied the covered body before Nanuk spoke again, orbs lifting to the older profile, " Eh heh. I'd better go check on the rice." The vocalist stepped away, and waltzed off into the kitchen. There was the sound of some dishes clattering around, and then Nanuk calling, " S'there anything you want on your rice, Aki?" Whether the blonde wanted anything or not, the brunette returned out into the living room with plates of rice in each hand. " Now I warn you. I'm not the best cook in the world, but... Hopefully I didn't munk it up too much." [/size][/blockquote]

-----------------------------------------------------
NODDING absently as his roommate spoke, Akeno finished and tied off his braid, letting it hang over his shoulder. More or less absorbed in the words, the man hadn't noticed the other's gaze--and if he had, chances were he wouldn't have thought anything of it. People tended to stare. For whatever fans he had, he assumed it was because of his membership in Voice. If he'd caught Nanuk staring, the blonde merely would have guessed that the thoughts revolved around his burns. Or how pathetic he looked.
HE blinked out of this mindset as a hand was place against his shoulder, causing him to jumps lightly and lift wide eyes to the other man. "N-Nan?" he murmured, teeth sinking into his bottom lip. Even without a word, Akeno was uncomfortable with the closeness he now felt between them--the physical variety, at least. It was every minute of every day that he was grateful for the brunette's friendship.
A
[/color] bright blush crept up to bloom his cheeks at the implication, a gasp strangling itself in his throat. Akeno resisted the urge to shrink away--after all, it was Nanuk, right? You trust Nanuk... Still, it was only after the other pulled away that Akeno was able to remember how to breath. Shaky fingers pulled the robe even tighter around him, and as the other went to the kitchen, he shuffled off to his room to change. LETTING the fabric drop away after shutting the door, Akeno's mind became stuck on what had been said, while he picked up various items to wear; he didn't plan on going out, any time soon, so pajamas would do. What would possibly make him say that? the small voice piped in again, causing him to hesitate before putting the baggy shirt on. The blonde glanced over his body. Nothing too impressive--and quite lacking, actually. This isn't anything to wonder about...
HE was probably just joking around.[/color] Accepting this as reasonable, the twenty-seven-year-old finished with the shirt, then went on to tug up sweatpants and to find his glasses. Another few minutes were spent searching around the room, and socks were added to the ensemble, but as he heard the younger Japanese calling for him, Akeno gave up and hesitantly strolled out of the room. ONE hand self-consciously rubbing up the opposite arm, he squeaked, "U-uhmn, sweet and sour sauce, maybe? If we have it," paused, then added, "Nanuk, have you seen my gloves? I can't find any..."JUST as he said this, however, he noticed a pair on the coffee table, and quickly slipped them on to cover the scars. It didn't matter that the younger had seen the burns many times before; they were disgusting. Disfiguring. They made him ugly. Akeno took a deep breath, noted that one or two of the circles were still visible, and glumly transferred himself over to the couch, where he accepted the plate of food with a small smile. AFTER murmuring his thanks, the blonde continued, "Nanuk, you know I'd eat anything you made me. I'm very grateful." Akeno pushed his rice around a moment before gathering some together, and slipping the fork's prongs between his lips. He sucked thoughtfully at the fork a moment before shyly whispering, "I-it...tastes good. I don't know what you were worried about..."[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] ----------------------------------------------------- || NOTES ??! || Outfit link updated. [/size][/blockquote][/size]

"Gloves?" he asked, blinking and then glanced around. He stopped trying to think and search when Akeno picked them up, the brunette watching as the blonde was quick to hide the burn scars. I'll never understand what Aki went through. Must have been horrible, though. he thought, sighing softly. That is why I'm going to continue to make it my duty to see he's taken care of, and that no harm comes to him again. Once again, Nanuk was reminding himself of the silent promise he'd made when he first seen the scars.
His dark-colored orbs followed the taller build, pulling away when the twenty-seven-year-old took a seat. "Heh." he mused quietly aloud to himself. There was a slight hesitation before the brunette joined his band mate on the sofa. Shiloh tagged along after Nanuk, lightly pawing up on the side of the cushion as if asking if it was alright that he hop up beside his 'daddy'. Lowering his attention, Nanuk merely shook his head and Shiloh got down on his stomach, pitiful eyes staring now over at Akeno.
A chuckle bubbled up, and the younger Japanese shook his head, "No begging, pup." And with that said, Nanuk dove into his food only to look up as Akeno spoke. "Hm?" He blinked, swallowed what was in his mouth and lowered the silver utensil. The twenty-six-year-old smiled, "Hmn. I'm glad you think that way."
Slipping the forkful of rice into his mouth, Nanuk chewed, eyes wandering over to the television set. To be quite frank, it was just too quiet for the vocalist's liking. Though he didn't mind the silence, he was just in one of those moods to talk; to hear some kind of noise in the background. "Mind if I turn a movie on now or... Maybe some music?" he asked, deep pools lifting to his friend. He took a moment, like before when the blonde was in the robe, to scan his eyes over the figure.
Quit. It! This is not like you, damn pervert. Go get laid or something. his mind scolded him, a grimace forming on the pale profile. "Hey, Aka-chan?" he asked, pausing yet again. "You... have anyone you're interested in? ...Romantically, that is." Nanuk cleared his throat, lifting his unoccupied hand to scratch at the back of his left ear. "I'm just curious." he spoke against the back of the fork.

-----------------------------------------------------
WITH the same timid air, the twenty-seven-year-old's lips twitched into a smile, returning the friendly gesture. He, too, continued to eat, though his tolerance of the silence left him much more content than Nanuk. The fork clinked against his teeth as he blinked over, expression blank as his mind fought to catch up with his ears. Eventually, though, another small smile curled, and Akeno shook his head. "Mn. Whatever you want. What kind of movies do we have, here...?"
HIS eyes swept down to Shiloh a moment, and instead, his lips were pulled to a grimace. The puppy looked so sad and hopeful, staring up at him with those wide, liquid chocolate eyes. It was things like this that made him weak, and for a moment he was considering going against Nanuk's command, and letting Shiloh hop up next to him.
ABOUT
[/color] to pat the spot beside him, Akeno jumped guiltily as he heard his name. Irrationally, one part of his brain was telling him that he'd wondered these thoughts aloud, and the brunette was leading into scolding him. Or he was a mind-reader. Which would be frightening, too. No, don't be a ridiculous, the blonde told himself, eyes phasing out once more. If he was a mind-reader, he would know about--"W-WHAT...?" the older Japanese stammered, unprepared for the question. He bit his lip, setting aside his half-done plate on the coffee table, and absently beginning to crack his knuckles. Fawn-colored gaze lowering to his knees, Akeno mumbled, "No... I-I'm not th-the relationship t-type... Am I?" After Nobu, it was hard to imagine letting himself get that close to anyone again. AKENO flitted his eyes to the other man, glance not only timid, but curious. "W-why do you ask, Nan...?" It really was an unusual question, even with the generally-comfortable atmosphere the two held. Well, comfortable on Akeno's terms. The blonde drew his knees up while he thought, gloved arms slinking around them as if to hold the limbs in place. AFTER only a moment, a crimson blush colored his face once more, and the twenty-seven-year-old guessed, "A-are you, uhmn... I-in a relationship, Nanuk?" It was possible, he reasoned. The other man was good looking, had a voice to melt hearts, and a soul of gold. It was what had allowed Akeno to trust him, above the other members, in the first place; what had really been the deciding factor, when he'd needed a place to stay. HE wasn't sure on how he felt at the prospect. Happy, for Nanuk, surely? Though there was still that sinking sensation in his gut; that panic in him wanting to claw out of its tightly-woven yarnball. It wasn't just the prospect of a possible relationship going wrong, as it had for him, but Akeno wondered, Will he forget about me?
I'M just one guitarist out of hundreds I'm sure Virgin Records could supply... I'm not important. What if he wants his lover to stay here? Where will I go? Back to... No. He could say for certain that there were two things he could never do again--go back to SME, and go back to Nobu. The blonde took a deep breath, brain whirling in its overthinking, and pressed the fabric of his gloves against his eyes as if to keep the thoughts in.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] ----------------------------------------------------- || NOTES ??! || n/a.

A booming laugh slipped out, almost comically so, Nanuk's back falling against the armrest behind him. "Are you kidding me?" he asked in return. "Why would you even question that. Of course you are, Akeno." He fell quiet for a moment as he pulled a few stuck piece of rice from the top of his mouth with his tongue down, and softly sighed. Slender digits ran back through his crimped brown hair, eyes falling some from his companion, but lifting moments later. "I don't see how you couldn't be boyfriend material. You're sweet and..."
Nanuk cut himself off, mentally debating with himself if he continue the flow compliments. You already gave him a fright by telling him you wanted to see his naked body. And Buddha forbid if he could hear the way you are thinking. The brunette could feel a small grimace pull his lips down, but it quickly went away and the usual happy indifferent smile returned. "Aki, you're just an amazing person. I mean, I thought you were a snob at first, but not anymore. You're far from it. And you're cute!"
Being pansexual, Nanuk was attracted to everything that walked the planet. So of course he found Akeno attractive. Very, very... very. Attractive. his mind teased him. Nanuk was blunt at times when it came to his attractions, and this probably left some of the members feeling extremely awkward around him. However, generally he would keep his opinions to himself so he wouldn't freak anyone out. Now with Akeno, things seemed to be slipping out more and more. And though embarrassing, Nanuk's laid back nature prevented him from blushed dark and spazzing over what he'd blurted out.
Shrugging of shoulders followed, chocolate eyes stationed on the blonde on the other end of the sofa. "I was just wondering. Like I told you." he said, pointing out that he'd already stated why he'd asked in a round-about way.
"Me? ...In a relationship?" he asked, smirked and shook his head. "Pfft. No." He absently set his food onto the coffee table, and leaning forward closer to Akeno. He grinned wide, eyes smiling as well, "And if I did have someone, they'd just have to understand that Aka-chan and my band are very, very important to me." Lightly nudging the side of the older man's head with his forehead, Nanuk brushed in lips in a peck across Akeno's cheek.
The younger of the two pulled back with a satisfied expression, crossing his legs Indian style and rested both sets of digits in his lap. Motzart soon joined the set of hands after crawling up the sofa side, "Mo-Mo!" Nanuk sighed, shook his head and lightly stroked the top of the tiny head with his pointer finger. "Silly fuzzball."
Looking up from the kitten, a frown tugged down the corners of the Japanese's mouth. Akeno? he mind questioned, eyes studying the hands that were pressed to the blonde's eyes. "Yo." he softly said, leaning forward again onto his knees. Hands slipped gently around the wrists of the older man, carefully pulling the gloved set of digits down. "Look at me, Aki." he softly said, fingers entwining with the other sets. "What are you thinking so hard on?"

-----------------------------------------------------
AKENO flinched at the loud noise, blinking wide eyes over at the brunette with confusion. Just what had he said that was so funny? At the compliments, the older Asian looked away, down to his gloves. It was sweet of Nanuk to say so, but... How could such things possibly be true? If I had been a better boyfriend, maybe Nobu wouldn't have gotten so angry with me, all the time...
LIKE Nanuk, the blonde man was a pansexual. However, he tended to be much less open about his affections--and while, yes, he was technically attracted to everyone, there were very few he felt a pull towards. Nanuk was one of them, as Nobu had been. Probably the only thing they have in common... the twenty-seven-year-old absently hoped.
BLUSHING
[/color] at the kiss--even if it was just his cheek--Akeno flicked his gaze away. It had hardly registered, really, in his brain, but even in the little amount that it had, it was embarrassing, and certainly hadn't helped his overwhelmed feeling. HE flinched at the voice, as well as the fingers wrapping themselves around his wrists. Akeno swallowed hard as he switched his light gaze up over to the other face before biting his lip. Silent another moment, all the blonde could manage was to lightly squeeze the other pair of hands. Then, completely unaware his words could be taken wrongly, he blurted, "Nanuk, I need you!"A light gasp left him, and he quickly looked away, tugging his hands back to himself/ "N-n-not... Mn." The guitarist shook his head, and adjusted his glasses as his eyes fell back to his set-aside plate. He hesitated only a moment before deciding he wasn't hungry, and took the opportunity to get to his feet, and away from his friend. ONCE in the kitchen, Akeno did a sweep of the apart, a frown tugging at his still blush-tinged face. "N-Nan? Have you seen Luca today?" Luca, his only addition to the zoo that already ran wild in their home. The husky was blind, and rarely participated in Nanuk's 'pack's energetic activities, preferring to mostly crawl under Akeno's bed to hide. WHICH was probably where he was now. Asking him to look for things I'll find is becoming a habit... the blonde mused, eyes unfocused as he went to his room and lightly knocked at the door. "Luca...? Food time, sweetie." A smile finally curved his lips again, as the mostly-black, beast of a dog army-crawled his way out, and pathetically wagged his tail while inching over to his master. "Good boy..." Akeno crooned, leading Luca back over to the couch and settling down. GLANCING to Nanuk, the twenty-seven-year-old hesitantly asked, "W-would you mind feeding him? Since it looks like Shi and Mozart are wanting some food, as well..." After biting his lip, he hesitantly allowed another small smile, and he offered, "Then I can get things set up for the movie?"[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] ----------------------------------------------------- || NOTES ??! || n/a.

What?!!?! his mind whirled. He wasn't even sure how to even take that statement. There were so many different ways "I need you" could be taken. So which way did he mean that? Nanuk blinked in confusion, and even more so when the blonde quickly got up and headed into the kitchen. As if to run away from the situation at hand. "Akeno..." he sighed, getting up to his own feet.
The vocalist shook his head. He hadn't seen any sixth party to their little zoo yet. "No. I haven't." he replied, watching the guitarist wander over to the door. He smirked as the husky came out of the bedroom, and the grin twitch even wider as as Shiloh cautiously made his way over and touched noses with the other dog.
He blinked over to Akeno, paused and slowly nodded his head. "Sure." was all he said before gathering both plates, and heading into the kitchen. He cleaned the plates of food and washed them, and then got out dog food and cat food. Nanuk poured just a little bit for each animal into three separate bowls; one for Luca, one for Shiloh and the other for the kittens. He whistled for Shiloh who happily came running, and quickly started to dig into his bowl. The next target was Luca, who Nanuk very carefully patted and tried not to spook. "Here ya go, Luca-boy." he murmured softly, letting the husky sniff what was in front of his face before setting the dark blue ceramic down.
Heading back into the kitchen, his hands curled around the third and final bowl, and returned to the living room. Placing it on the coffee table, he grabbed both kittens and set them up near the bowl. This was only to prevent Shiloh from coming to eat their food, but of course, he knew better than to mess with the older dog's dish.
"Now." Attention placed back on the blonde, the twenty-six-year-old crossed his right leg over top of the left. "What did you mean by that earlier statement? Before you went running off?" He wanted the truth, and for Akeno to not dodge the question. "I would like to know because I can't figure out which way you meant it. Was it just in general, romantically... Sexually?"

-----------------------------------------------------
WATCHING Nanuk feed the animals, and being kind to Luca, made the blonde's heart warm, and it was easy for him to settle again, and keep his eyes trained on the younger man. A small, contented sigh slipped, and before he knew it, his limps had twitched up into a grin.
IT faded, though, as the twenty-six-year-old asked his question, and Nanuk quickly glanced away. He could feel heat rising in his face, and all he wanted to do was sink into the couch and disappear.
WHY
[/color] did his answer even matter? Surely Nanuk already knew he needed him as a friend, and it wasn't as if, if he replied with one of the other two choices provided to him, the other man would act on such feelings. That would just be awkward, surely... And who'd be interested in me, anyway?SUPPRESSING a sigh, the older of the pair peeked over, eying the brunette while biting his lip. Swallowing hard, he managed to squeak, "I-I... I'm not sure..." before looking away and shivering. That hadn't exactly been what he'd wanted to say, but... Looking back, it was true enough. NANUK had always been there for him, and on more than one occasion, Akeno had mused about the possibility of a relationship between them. But even if, by some miracle, the other agreed, the blonde was unsure he could handle something like that again. He'd learned long ago that you could never when when things could go wrong. AS this though registered to him, he quickly shook his head, hugging his limbs to himself again and tilting the covered scars away from him. Akeno took a shuddery breath before murmuring, "N-no, I... M'not the relationship type." He ignored that this was what the brunette had denied of him, instead continuing, "Th-that... Would frighten me.
"B-BUT I do love you, Nanuk, and need you. You... You're my best friend..." He swallowed hard before hesitantly bringing his gaze up, so nervous that his breath caught in his throat, and he felt like choking. The twenty-seven-year-old knew that he had no reason to fear the younger Japanese, but... Despite the fast that Nanuk had insisted it was merely a question, it sent a stabbing through his heart; a worry that something between them would change for the worse. And, just as he'd said, he needed Nanuk.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] ----------------------------------------------------- || NOTES ??! || n/a. [/size][/blockquote][/size]

"You're not,"he started to ask, tilting his head while studying his band mate, "sure what you meant?" Now the blonde had him very, very confused. Heh. This is probably going to make my brain hurt later. he told himself, and softly sighed as he studied his friend for the millionth time that day.
Nanuk felt a frown pull the corners of his lips down as, yet again, Akeno disagreed with him. You have no idea what type of person you are, Aki. Just wait and see.
His mouth twitched up into a small smile, nodding his head ever-so slightly. "And the feelings are mutual, Akeno." his voice smooth like melted chocolate. Hesitantly, Nanuk took a seat along side of the older male, and curled his arms around him in an embrace. "Just do me one favor, eh?" he asked. There was a pause before he continued, "Try thinking positive things about yourself from now on?"
He pulled back, eyes glued to the twenty-seven-year-old Japanese's face; the beautiful profile he'd studied many times over the length of time they'd known each other. "You realize that if you weren't so amazing I wouldn't be around, right?" he questioned, a hand snaking it's way along Akeno's arm down to entwine digits with one of the other's hands.
"I want you." the twenty-six-year-old spoke, brown spheres falling down to watch their clasped sets of fingers. "...In my life. Forever and always."
((Bah. Nanuk was not wanting to work with me so I'm not exactly happy with this post.))
