Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just then, breaking up there fun, a noise of someone clearing their throat resounded through the room from the doorway. The tall butler from earlier had seem everything and his obvious grimace was self explanatory of his feelings. "Master Ryota, we have Seiji on the phone, it seems rather urgent."

Ryota still wasn't finished with his hug and the hushed declaration Kura made was still warming him. Ryota could see them becoming fast friends at this point. Eventually though he did lightly push away, looking up into his slaves eye's with a genuine smile before turning to his butler. "Alright Gramps. Let me say goodbye at least."

Ryota's charm was lost on the older man, who decided to reject Ryota's smile and instead turn to walk away. Ryota was pretty certain that even a blind mouse could see the older male's disdain, to avoid getting anyone butthurt, he decided to defend his crass butler. "Oh...uh, Gramps doesn't really support my love preferences if you know what I mean." Ryota turned back to face his Kura and shrugged. "Not that we're in love or anything but he still can't sit still when I'm hugging guys. He's alright." He said with a bittersweet laugh before walking to the doorway. "Um, I guess you can get settled and look around, if you need me I'll be in the library talking to my manager. So you get free time!" He nodded. "Just don't go going anywhere I can't find you kay?"

Ryota laughed softly. It didn't take a genius to spot it, even Ryota could see that the taller male was growing quite fond of his idol master. "Nah, he's fine, he used to be my parent's servant but they gave him to me." It was the only 'present' they actually gave the young boy. Perhaps with their lack of parenting skills having taken it's toll the young male would need someone to prepare meals and help him around the house. That was what his butler was for. Kura...he was for protection, and eventually something more, if he allowed it.

Kura seemed instantly apologetic for his outburst but Ryota couldn't help but feel flattered. "You gotta share me Kura, if you're the only person I see I might get addicted!" He winked, obviously teasing. "Alright, the libraries down the hall and remember, the black doors are mine! No touchy." With that he turned and walked down the hallway towards the library before walking in and shutting the door behind him.

He personally hated talking business but his agent Seiji has been working hard trying to get Akihiko and Takeo to get along, they would need the visual component to settle arguments and make the final decision after all. Ryota would always be the charming little piece of glue that kept everyone from falling apart. Ryota sat on down at the study desk in one of his cartoonishly large chairs with the home phone to his ear, listening intently to his band members gripe on speakerphone.

Ryota slung his leg's lightly over the arm of the chair and rested his head carelessly on the back. Akihiko was yelling rather loudly on the other end of the phone and it was scaring poor Ryota. His hair covered his eye's and betrayed his emotions even as the floating silver sphere entered the room. Ryota didn't notice it right away and decided it was time to end the call sooner rather than later. Eventually the three decided that they would meet in person one of these days to discuss the details of their latest tour. The Drive aLive concert tour, it promised big things. Ryota was even being given the chance to write his own song for the album! Being excited would be an understatement.

He hung the phone back on it's port and crossed his arms, pouting slightly. He hated Akihiko sometimes, especially when he got to saying such mean things. With a soft sigh he opened his eyes and even wiped the smallest of newborn tears from his left eye before noticing the floating elephant in the room! He stood and with careful steps decided he would get closer and closer to observe it. "Master, it's getting close to bedtime..." A small female in maid's clothing walked inside and her eye's flew open wide in shock at the magic before her. "W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-what is that?"

Ryota turned around and put a small finger up to his lips before winking in her direction. "It's sleepin'." He said before slowly reaching up to take the orb into his hands. With slow movements and careful steps he took the orb with him downstairs. Once in the living room he sat down on one of the couches, with the orb in his lap before laying down with the silver sphere lightly cuddled close to his chest.

Ryota yawned, his lips releasing the softest and most gentle of noises from the young man before his hands wrapped firmly around the silver orb. He was still quite uncertain as to what Kura was, but from everything Ryota had read about him, he could tell that the two were meant to be together. Kura was someone who was treated awful and fended for himself in the line of fire while Ryota was someone who grew up without love and suffered for it. Ryota had been alone for so long and with his band members and Seiji he though he would have someone, someone who would stay with him...someone who would look at him and actually feel something...

Of course they were never the same. They had their own lives to live, leaving Ryota to fend for himself more often than not.

The door not far from the living room opened, his butler and maid left. They always left at night, they weren't stay ins... Ryota always wanted someone, someone who would be there. Kura...he was forced to stay here at night...forced to stay with Ryota. The pain of this realization was enough to make the idol's heart hurt. Would Kura learn to stay here for more than just their contract as Master and Slave?

Ryota closed his eye's, his body growing weary. His grip eventually loosened on the orb and unbeknownst to the sleeping Ryota, Kura emerged from it. The two now laying beside eachother. The superstar himself smiled, knowing that this warmth he felt wasn't his own...but someone else's. That was all he needed.

His dreams were filled to the brim with performing. He thought about what it was like to perform on his own for the first time. He had been the original solo act before discovering Takeo and Akihiko. He wasn't one for leading and left most of the decisions to Aki but a day didn't go by where people didn't miss watching Ryota all by himself. He could dance and sing and pose! He was the perfect little package. It was all the attention that made him shine like that, all the love that his fans could give him. That made him better, that made him wake up every morning with a smile, even if he woke up alone.

This morning though, was different. An innocent mumble escaped before the idol took a deep breath and yawned softly into his cupped hand. His eye's opened to see Kura's broad shoulders and the white of his shirt before looking up to find his slave's eyes and the silver of his hair. "Good morning...eh?" He noticed that Kura looked rather different, panicked sorta. "Are you ok? I knew it was you in that little ball." He said with a rather proud smile.

Ryota kept his sights on Kura, taking in every cough, every movement and of course, that blush tho'. He was such a charming male with the attraction of a devil in disguise but it was so fun to watch him get flustered. It told Ryota that there was something gentle, something nice hidden deep inside that charm. There was someone in there who could possess and care. "I thought the little ball was cute! It was warm and everything." Kura looked away eventually, his confidence coming back in a simple blush before he spoke up again. He seemed concerned about the phone call last night. It made Ryota look down, his eye's falling to Kura's chest. Ryota liked to think that he was perceptive but apparently Kura had his own kills, had he been watching and taking stock of his own master's emotions too?

"Well...I'm part of an idol group y'know, and my friends are my group mates. Our manager called and I got to talk to my friends too. One of them...isn't very nice. Sometimes he can say things that hurt my feelings y'know? He uh...doesn't really know when to stop pressing buttons. Don't worry though, I don't let things get to me." He looked back up to him, his smile returning. Of course, it must have been easy for one who was looking, to see that his smile was painful. Akihiko had said some rather awful things last night, and this smile right now was signature to Ryota.

He kept his sadness to himself, and refused to let it show. His fans, and his servants would never know how he really felt. "I liked sleeping with you though, you kept me warm all night."

Ryota was happy Kura changed the subject. He drew closer, his hands lightly falling onto the retreating demon's chest before he smiled rather devilishly to Kura. "Why is something like that embarrassing? Don't you like sleeping with me Kura?" He curled closer to him and slowly pressed his right cheek against the male's chest, officially sharing his warmth with him. "I think it's rather comforting, having a big strong new friend to lay with and cuddle with. I'm really into cuddling." Ryota was laying the teasing on quiet thick, he enjoyed the reactions he force the other male to have. Ryota has never been the dominant one to take what he wanted in any relationship but he definitely felt a gentle tug towards Kura on another level. Something about Kura told him that he would be safe. In Kura's eyes he would always be safe and sound, and he would never be punished for his need for affection!
