Chapter Fifty-Nine

Disclaimer: WHEEEEEEEEEE!

Author’s Notes: The House marathon is still going strong, folks! Good news! I'm on season three, episode seven, part three. The last part. Awesome! But, there's so much more to go. Goes to 12 episodes, four parts to the last one, and then no more. I'll be at this for a while. XD

This chapter is a little more interaction with Opium. We get to see the healing process begin. Just a smidge. By that, I mean Keiko accepting Haido and Kenji's relatinship. It's not that she doesn't like gay people, well, it could be that she does, she just loved Kenji enough to not let it bother her. She's just trying to get back in with him now, trying to accept Haido.

Take a look for yourself.

Chapter Fifty-Nine
~~~
Things had gone over exceedingly well with Keiko, once she had arrived. Yes, she had been out drinking. No, she didn't go home with anyone. Yes, she had taken enough aspirin and if Kenji didn't stop asking questions she'd throttle him.

Haido just wanted to make sure the air was clear between all three of them. He wanted to make sure they knew that he wanted Kenji and Keiko to keep up the great friendship they'd had for years.

But now there way this, of all things! Taki had gotten in touch with them to tell them their night off was no longer a night off. They were going to do a practice run, so to speak. Playing live in front of a crowd at a bar.

Kenji finally let loose with a complaint as they all piled into Keiko's car. Slumping into the backseat and onto Haido, he groaned as he reached to pull the door shut behind him. He let his head drop into Haido's lap, knees bent and up even though he knew he would have to move and buckle his seat belt in a second.

"I can't believe they would do this!" Okay, yes he could, but he didn't want to. "What happened to a day off? It doesn't say 'On the seventh day, they practiced!' They've gone fucking psychotic."

It wasn't hard for Kenji to believe, either. They'd been working nonstop for days. He'd been living off two hours of sleep and gallons of coffee. He could practically feel the bags under his eyes.

He didn't want to sing tonight. He just wanted to spend a night out with Keiko and Haido, take Haido home with him, and collapse into bed. He didn't even want sex! All Kenji wanted to do was sleep.

"Seatbelt, whiner," Keiko said, glancing into the rearview mirror to look at her two bandmates. She rolled down the window after starting the car, lighting a cigarette.

Haido smiled, rolling his eyes as he pushed Kenji up off his lap. He buckled himself in, not yet aware of how Keiko drove.

"Kenji, c'mon," he said. "It'll be fun! Besides, aren't you a little excited about performing outside of the studio?"

Haido certainly was. Tohma and Taki had taken care of the transport of their instruments to the bar they were playing at, so they would already be there.

"Last warning," Keiko said, pulling into the street. "Seatbelt."

Kenji knew the last warning meant the last warning before his head went through a window. So, he reached for his seatbelt as Keiko pulled out, buckling it before she could slam into traffic.

"I don't want to sing tonight." Kenji crossed his arms loosely over his chest, leaning into the corner of his seat. "I just want to go home and sleep."

And if Kenji didn't want to sing, it was likely he wouldn't let anyone make him. He wanted to sleep, and to be able to warm up before he sang. He didn't like the idea of being thrust onstage without preparation just because Tohma and Taki were bored.

In fact, it pissed him off.

Keiko shook her head as Kenji bitched a little more. Again, she still didn't care. If the boss wanted it, he would get it. It wasn't a hard concept. Now, if Kenji couldn't give a good performance... well, he just wouldn't be walking.

She flicked ash out the window, glancing up at the mirror again only to see Haido lean over to Kenji and whisper something in his ear. Kenji turned red. Keiko decided she'd like to pull over and gag.

If nothing else, Kenji would probably be singing.

Author's Notes: Kenji's a little bitch, huh? Whiney thing. I bet he's got enough energy for Haido instead of sleep, given the options. I love it! We'll see what's going to go down with this concert dealy next chapter. It's going to be so much fun!

In other news, Kel seems to have hit a creative dry spell with the sequel. Personally, I dunno how you do that. Sometimes I get stuck on a sex scene, or when someone boxes me into a corner and I'd have to do the cliche thing, and I hate doing the cliche thing. Really, I do. Otherwise, it's just words. You move forward, you take a chance, let the Character take over. I guess it's not so simple for other people.

In the mean time, a desperate attempt by me to keep her in Taki mode, I've suggest a high school ficlet, if you will. Currently, we're enjoying that. I figure less pressure, some way she can keep in character without feeling rushed between that and life and school... should do her some good. Of course, this would be AU, so to speak. For all we know Tohma and Taki did go to the same high school.

Either way, it's turning out silly and fun. I just might post it, if for some reason this finishes and that one finishes, but the sequel hasn't yet. Something to keep you all entertained. What meager audiences we have. Oh! Also, any of you music lovers on the East Coast. If you're looking for that punky rock smidge of pop sound with lyrics that might actually impress you, I suggest taking a look at the band 'Say Anything'. It's primarily what I listen to when I write. They may be a tad mainstream these days, especially with the CultSpace explosion, but still, I recommend it. Although their new video to the song 'Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too' is funny, but it's not their best song. I say East Coast, because they're an LA based band, so I'm not sure how far out word has gotten.

So, please enjoy and drop us a line!
