Welcome to Gaia! ::


Slow down, lie down
Remember it's just you and me
Don't sell out, bow out, remember how this used to be
I just want you closer, is that alright?
Lets get closer, tonight


They met in high school, two polar opposites. He was the school football and rockstar, the other was the quiet child who spent his spare time in the library or classrooms. One had thousands of friends, the other was too shy to speak to anyone other then his teachers. No one suspected the affair the two would have; one that would change their lives forever. However, after three years of dating, moving around others to hide the relationship, the bookworm's family decides to pack up and move. Without a word, the boy disappears from the other forever....or so he thought.

Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me
Sure I can't accept that we're going nowhere, but one last time lets go there
Lay down beside me


It's been five years since high school graduation, and he's made it big in the music industry. Only his band know that he prefers the male gender, and it's not hard to say that they are also on the same track. He has thousands of affairs, never has he found the one he truly wants to stick with. He is known in the media simply as the handsome singer and heartbreaker in the band of Broken Dawn.


And I found that I'm bound to wander down that one way road
And I realize all about your lies but I'm no wiser then the fool I was before
I just want you closer, is that alright? Baby let's get closer, tonight


His parents split up, and he had to grow up and take care of not only himself, but his mother as well. Sent to a crappy neighborhood the boy isn't as shy as he used to be, taking the only job offered to him during hard times. Now, he works as a stripper in one of the towns most infamous male clubs. He rooms with four others, who work at the joint and help him through his daily life. Of course, they know that he'll never have a relationship again....right?

Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me
Sure I can't accept that we're going nowhere, but one last time lets go there
Lay down beside me


Broken Dawn has finally been able to phase out of the light for a while, and decide to hit the famous Desirae's Dreams Club in town. It is his turn to go on stage, his roommates in the back as they wait for his entrance, and he must only ask himself how much he might make that night. Who would have ever suspected that they would run into each other, and that the singer is determined to stop at nothing to have his friend back, even if it mean 'purchasing' him from the club owner. Will they find love again? Can two sparks start a flame, or will it erupt into a blast too large for anyone to handle?

Baby, tell me how can this be wrong?


Fate. Destiny. Hatred. Jealousy. Anger. Passion. Dreams. Love.

Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me
Sure I can't accept that we're going nowhere, but one last time lets go there
Lay down beside me

Quote:
Username: Angel_Amour
Name: Harlequin Exodus
Nickname: Harley, Casanova (this is the name his customers know him by, none of the know his real name)
Age: 23
Job: Stripper
Appearance: He is the guy every girl likes to grab by the cheeks and squeeze until they can't breathe. With a petite body and milky skin he is the picture of purity. He has strange violet eyes that are unmistakable to the gaze of anyone who knows or has seen him before. It is one his special trademarks and makes thousands of women (and sometimes men) go crazy over him. His black hair falls in a mess to his ears, sometimes cutting away his vision but making him all that much cuter in a childish manner. Harley
Other: Harley has issues with intimacy, and hates being vulnerable to others. After having moved in with his drunkard mom the boy learned to grow up, and fast. He learned that life wasn't always easy, and took the job as soon as it provided an escape from his abusive home life. His roommates, some of the other strippers from the club, are very kind to him even if they tease. Harley loves his life now, even if his job isn't his favorite thing in the world he realizes that it is a lot better then starving.

Other (Optional): Despite being the youngest in Broken Dawn, he is perhaps the most level-headed. He is a quiet but allusive character, withdrawn at times but a gentle soul. Yuuto cares deeply for his band mates and he would look out for them as an older brother would. He is also physically weak. Despite the kind of life a rock star would lead he has ongoing health issues and tires easily.

Other: Mika is a free-spirited, go-with-the-flow, prank-pulling, wise-cracking goof. He's even less mature than the youngest of the group, and loves sweet things(big sweet tooth too). He had a normal childhood, with loving parents and even a kinder older brother, they were well off and happy. But it was too boring and restricting there and he took to stripping for the fun of dancing for others. He's even had affairs with some of his clients if 'the flow' took him there. He looks younger than he is, and uses it to his advantage whenever possible. He also has quite a nice singing voice, he's been told.

Appearance: Hunter
Other: He's very intelligent and an open member of the band, making sure that they're taken care of though he doesn't take any of their crap. He can be the worst manager in the history of musician's because he often doesn't cater to the individual needs of his artists, but he can be considered the best when it comes to booking gigs for the group. Hunter is very open minded and takes things with a stride, often able to make the worst of paparazzi news turn into something bright and better.

He'd made it to work with ten minutes left before he had to take his place on stage, the sound of screaming women completely recognizable through the heavy curtains that separated crazed fans. Of course, the club was meant as a place for men and women to indulge as close as they could to their wicked fantasies, sometimes achieving them depending on the person who they were after. Harlequin Exodus was never someone that went home with a customer, even if he had been encouraged to do so more then once by his boss, a woman who had decided to rebel against her parents in the biggest fashion she could manage.

Violet eyes watched through slits in the curtains as more people filed in, it was a weekend after all and this was a place that thousands flocked to. They had everything from the exotic to the plain handsome to the sweet. Harley, known to the customers only as 'Casanova' (he still had not concluded how the dreaded name came to be) was one of the sweet acts. Of course, it didn't change the fact that bodyguards had to watch closely to make sure nobody jumped up and attempted to scratch him or grab a hold of something that wasn't theirs to grab. The petite black haired boy might have been a stripper, but he was not going to sleep with the first thing that threw itself on him. Perhaps it was his past, or maybe it was the fact that living with four of his worker friends had shown him that there was no need to get all down and heavy.

The flight was long, boring, and very long... Ryou got bored, as there was little choice in in-flight movies, and he'd actually already seen all the ones offered(unless it was a genre he couldn't stand). He slept for most of the flight, all snug up in first-class with the rest of his bast mates(friends in the band).

When the plane was landing he woke to a hand shaking his shoulder roughly. It was their manager, letting him know they were about to land. He paid no attention to anything as he yawned and got off along with everyone else on the plane. Of course there were a bunch of screaming female(and some male) fans as the members of Broken Dawn left the airport and piled into a fancy stretch limo and drove off.

They all had waved and given autographs, or took photo's with the fans along the way. Ryouya of course was a popular one among fans of both genders, many getting photo's of him kissing their cheek or posing with an arm over their shoulder. It was routine, almost, for the young singer. Something he pulled off rather well, despite not being interested in the female gender.

The drive to their hotel went by, Ryou not really sure if it was like always or not, as he completely zoned out again. They had free time until noon tomorrow, according to their manager, so they could go do whatever they wanted as long as they were in bed before too early the next morning.



((I'll have the group be doing a number of gigs/shows/stuff like that in the town that Harley lives in.. and I'm starting with him arriving on a plane))

It was time to go out on stage as Casanova, dressed in a similar style to what a count might have worn. Harlequin wasn't at all surprised to hear his stage name chanted among some of the frequent visitors of the club, and as he stepped out onto the light lost himself in the music to keep his mind off the fact that he hadn't done anything he believed to be meaningful as of yet.

Taking a hold of the pole and using it as his only prop he did several unique moves that had people screaming or cheering him on, and he wondered if this was almost the exact way stars were treated (if not for the bit of more skin display). He was out on the stage for maybe half an hour before it was another dancers turn and he could return to the back. With no attempt to hide the fact that he was ready to put on some clothing until he had to go up again with another dancer, the boy clad a white long sleeved shirt and black pants, moving to go help behind the bar.

It was hilarious, to think that just with a blond wig and blue contacts no one recognized the dancer that they cherished (lusted after) on stage.

As the group was given free-reign for a while, as long as they kept at least a little inconspicuous, Ryou strolled down the streets in his fancy clothes that he'd worn on the plane. He had sunglasses on and a large hat to cover his famous hair and eyes. His hair, in itself, was not specially recognizeable, aside from the style. His eyes, though, were an unnatural golden-topaz color that changed shade in different lighting.

He found himself on a street that had a number of gay couples, as well as a number of singles. He overheard a man say something about the club nearby, about a dancer named 'Casanova', and he got curious. He found his way to the club, asking for directions a few times with his thick Japanese accent. He walked in and looked around a bit, hearing a different name for the dancer that went on stage,

He had missed the dancer known as Casanova. He sighed and took a seat near the bar, removing his sunglasses after a few odd stares from people who'd noticed the sunglasses still on his face. A gasp from a man near him drew his attention, as the man was close enough to see the unnatural color of his eyes. He gave the man a look that suggested he leave it alone, and the man nodded after looking like he was about to ask if he was Ryouya Tsukimori.

Ryo sighed gratefully when the man turned his attention away from his eyes and what could be seen f his face. He called over one of the boys he could tell worked there and asked for a strong drink.

He froze, looking at the man he hadn't seen in years standing before him at the bar. It was only a very hard nudge from his fellow bartender that had Harley moving to get Ryou the drink. His former lover hadn't changed much, just a little older if not a bit exhausted looking. Making sure to keep his eyes down (even if the were blue he was afraid that Ryou would see through the contacts) the now man (though he still looked very much like a child) put down a special drink of the club on the counter. "Here you go, that'll be five please," he deepened his voice in an attempt to keept himself disguised.

Harley kept throwing looks at his coworkers, hoping someone would take the hint and save him from inevitable disaster. Could he feign a sickness to get out of dancing? Maybe.

The singer turned his head to glance at the young man that put a drink down in front of him. "Ah, thank you." He replied as he fished out a five from his wallet. He didn't seem to recognize Harley at all. His key-chain jingled from the chain it, and his wallet, hung from. There were some charms on it from his high-school days.

Something in the voice caught his attention, something familiar but not immediately recognized. He was about to shrug it off when he noticed the blond seemed uncomfortable about something. "Daijobu?" He asked in Japanese. He wondered at what could elicit such a response. Could this guy be a fan of his group or something?

The boy froze, he knew those words though the meaning was far off in the corner of his mind. After moving to the states it was easy for Harley to forget the language, after all, he was attempting desperately to put the past behind him...to move on. Looking at the bartenders one last time he spoke softly, still keeping his facade in place so that the man would not recognize him. "Sorry, I don't know what that means." He took the money, making sure the drink was exactly where it needed to be. The key charms were heart breaking, but he couldn't react, couldn't show any signs of recognition to the man.

"I hope you enjoy your drink and time at this dance club, if you'll excuse me, I'm up." He moved away from the bar too quicky for the other to stop him, it was true, his act was up. And as Harley threw off the blond wig and the blue contacts, stepping onto the stage was the hardest thing he'd had to do since his first dance.

When the boy looked at him funny he could have sworn he recognized him from somewhere, but it couldn't be, the boy had the wrong hair color and didn't understand Japanese. "I asked if you were okay." He mumbled as the boy excused himself and went to the stage, removing a wig from his head, along with blue contacts.

At first, Ryo could do nothing but watch, lost in a memory from years ago.

- Flashback -
It had been nearly three years now since they were going out, despite him having many girlfriends that never lasted too long anyways, and he couldn't be happier. He planned on asking harlequin would move in with him after graduation, even picked out the perfect apartment. It was just right for them, and it was large enough that his band could meet there when they needed to.

-after the graduation day-
He wasn't anywhere. Ryouya called everywhere he could think of, went to every place he thought Harley would be. Nothing. He'd called their house, but got the 'phone line disconnected' speach, many times already.

He knew, without a doubt, the Harley was gone for good. He'd never find happiness again, not even in the bliss of music.
- End Flashback -


He returned from his thoughts as 'Casanova' began performing. He downed his drink quickly and hurried to the washrooms. Ryo splashed water over his face and stared at the mirror, disbelief and the starting glimmer of hope reflected back at him.

Harley, you're here? Of all places, HERE?' He thought, holding a hand to his heart as tears mingled with the water still on his face. He couldn't tell what emotion spurred the tears, but they kept coming. Was it joy, sadness at seeing Harley as a stripper, or relief that Harley was still alive at least? Probably all three.

He was determined to get Harley back, no matter what he'd have to do... But if Harley didn't love him, or even like him, anymore, he didn't know if he could stand that.

Bad Influence sounded throughout the club, a new Pink hit that the owner of the club had fallen in love with and convinced Harley to do a dance to. He was dressed now in a tux at the beginning of the dance, though by the end of it most of the clothing was gone and more then one person had joined him on the stage. The entire time throughout the dance the raven haired stripper had kept his attention fixed elsewhere from the direction he knew Ryo to be, not wanting to look the man he'd once loved in the face.

Immediately things started to plague him, hadn't the former boyfriend searched for him? Hadn't he gained enough money to look for Harley? It seemed his father had been right, the boy had never truly wanted anything but his body...which he'd thankfully not given. Harley was proud to be a virgin, and planned on staying that way for a long time if not forever.

Twisting in step he moved to make way off the stage when the owner, who'd always attempted to get him to go on a date with some of his customers, stopped him and threw a robe over his shoulders.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to offer all of you an offer! The highest bidder gets Casanova for the night!"

Harley wanted to punch her, breaking off the stage and ignoring the shouts of amounts of money. He'd refuse, simple.

Ryou existed the bathroom as, corny as this sounded, an angel announced a date to the highest bidder with Casanova. He strode up to stage, golden eyes flaring with excitement, the only emotion he showed, and stepped up. Looking at the man, a dead serious expression on his face.

"How about Broken Dawn does a live concert in your club? Would that be a high enough price?" He asked the man. There were gasps from the audience there as they recognized Ryouya Tsukimori of Broken Dawn, those that weren't almost passed out from the alcohol that is.

"Well?" He asked again, looking now at Casanova, no, he was sure now that it was Harley that he looked at, those eyes alone confirmed the beating of his heart as it sought to press against Harley's.

The man who'd seemed to recognize him burst out annoyingly, "I knew it was Ryou! Ryou should sing!" and his cry was drunkenly taken up by many of those still at the tables. Ryouya didn't even spare them a glance.
