((skippin' the tour description, too lazy xD ))
Ray gave Raleigh a strong pat on his back, showing him from the office out into the hall. "Well at any rate the fact remains that you're our great idol's friend so, how's about that tour?" And with that, Ray took the other on a grand tour of his home. Pushing and pulling him along much to the young man's dismay.
When they were finally done, they were standing outside near the beach front. A crowd of people all gathered in front of a stage that had been set up. "Heh, seems like the show is just about to begin. You ever been to one of Erol's shows?" Ray asked, slipping through the crowd toward the front. "Well if not you'll love it. Erol and the gang are pretty bad a** for an underground group. Look at all their fans so far." He said taking a quick glance around. Truth enough it was quite a showing.
***
Meanwhile back stage, Erol was grumbling to himself. Wondering what compelled him outside of seeing a friend on his birthday, to also perform. Of course Ray would set all this up to make a splash in the underground papers but did he really have to make it so grand? He wanted to spend time with Raleigh, they hardly got to hang out as it was. "You ready Erol?" Taz came up patting him on the back.
"Yeah I guess but this is embarrassing."
"What you're embarrassed that's a first. You love to do this... ohh wait. I get it. That guy... haha. He hasn't seen you perform before or what?" Looking around he dipped low to whisper. "So not only are you evolved but you got the hots for guys too? Hey nothing wrong with that, it just leaves more cuties for me."
Erol rolled his eyes glaring at his guitar. "I'm not into guys you idiot and he's seen me perform once. I just don't feel like doing this is all." He protested.
"Sure, right. Like being an idol isn't fun. You're lying like a rug and you know it. If ya haven't told him already what's on your mind, we can switch up the songs a bit... I'm sure a little tune would get the point across."
Erol balked. Thinking on that for all of two seconds. "He wouldn't like and I sure as hell aint doing it. That's frigging corny and I told you I'm not like that."
"Sure whatever... the shows about to start. You sure you want to keep arguing like this."
"Arg! Just shut up already."
****
Back in the crowd, Rayborn had managed to weave himself and Raleigh to the back stage area where they were let through by security. They entered to find a cranky Erol wrestling with his bass guitarist, Taz. "I told you it's not like that!" Erol screamed to which only got Taz laughing more. He didn't even seem phased by the attack.
Ray arched a brow trading a glance to Ra before clearing his throat. "Is this how you wish you're friends a happy birthday by wrestling on stage moments before the show? Erol whatever it is this time can it wait?"
Erol looked up to find Ra of all people staring down at him. With a grumble he quickly stood turning away to check his guitar as if nothing happened. "Yeah... right. Can we just get this over with?"

Great idol? Heh. Ra would make a note to tease Erol with that later. It had such a cute ring to it. Raleigh followed along behind Rayborn, or rather was dragged behind on a tour of the house; barely able to concentrate on the various rooms he was shown. There really were a lot of people around. It was quite surprising. The great idol had a good sized following. What would it be like for him if the band really kicked off? Juggling being a superhero and a rock star might get a little difficult.
They entered backstage to find Erol grappling with another guy which Raleigh recognized as being a part of the band. As he watched, Rayborn giving him arched-brown glance before breaking the two up, Ra felt a tinge of emotion he didn’t particularly like. Was it jealousy? No, that was ridiculous. He wandered over as Erol looked over the guitar, moving to stand beside him with his arms crossed over his chest.
So the show was about to begin, eh? Now what, a kiss for good luck? Ra shot that out the window before his minds little ‘joke’ idea could solidify into something more real. Instead he offered a small but warm smile. “Hurry up and go sing. I’ll see you after.” He turned to back to Rayborn. “Shall I join the crowd?” While he had heard Erol sing before, at the time he hadn’t been paying much attention. He had felt out of place.

Erol had a mind to kiss Ra for good luck or something like that but it didn't seem the time or places. Besides they weren't all that familiar with each other to consider going any further than the experimental kiss earlier. With a lopsided grin and a heavy sigh, Erol hurried on stage giving the crowd a welcoming announcement.
Everyone cheered and hollered happy to be attending the party. Erol looked over his shoulder back stage where Ra remained standing. He gave a quick wink then went into his usual routine. Playing some of the more familiar songs that everyone had come to know. The crowd responded with cheers and glee as he bellowed out the song with his rich voice, smiling and pumping up the crowd. It never took long to get everyone into the mood as each song was finished, they band would immediately go into another song, the crowd cheering on.
Though this was only a party for his friend and a bit of spotlight for the band on his part. They weren't going to sing all their songs and this was the debut of a new song that anyone who came to the party could listen first hand before it went to radio. "Alright everyone! I hope you had fun tonight. The party isn't over but this is unfortunately the last song for the night... you get to hear it first... live, before it debuts tomorrow on the radios nation wide. So enjoy everyone!" With that the crowd went into an uproar as the music began to play. As soon as Erol began to sing the girls in the crowd began screaming for his attentions to turn their way. For Erol it was fun to watch how so many people wanted to be near him but he wasn't interested in that, it was a rush to be on stage, something different from his life as a evolved. Ah well life had a strange way of dealing cards to the players.

The last time Raleigh had heard Erol sing, he would admit that he hadn’t exactly been paying much attention. His voice wasn’t painful to listen to and that was extent of Ra’s mental notes when it came to it. Now he had more of a chance to really soak it in and really, Erol wasn’t bad. He could definitely hold a tune. Ra even found himself tapping his foot to one of the songs, a difference for the usually stoic man. Ha. No wonder all these people were here. Of course, that could just have been Erol’s charismatic personality. Ra enjoyed the show, a light smile on his lips as Erol belted out each song with passion, clearly loving the moment he was in.
The excitement the band raised and the thunderous roar was rather infectious, though Raleigh was glad he’d chosen to stay backstage to watch the show rather than be trampled by the screaming masses. The new song? It was a damn good song for sure. When they were done and then crowd went wild, Raleigh chuckled and waited patiently for Erol and his band to move backstage again. Now he had to come up with some suitable praise... and then what, enjoy the rest of the party he supposed.

Erol bowed to the crowd and quickly ran off stage, the curtains closing behind him. The sweat from being heated by the lights and the moving about the stage, ran down his face. He came off stage with a bright smile, jumping on Taz's back who had punched him on the way off stage.
When he stopped in front of Raleigh he quickly jumped off Taz's back watching the other rush off to get cleaned up and enjoy the rest of the party. Erol stood before Ra with a smile. "So, was the performance to the housewife's approval?" He breathed. Looking around, it was evident they were alone for the most part, Rayborn probably off to make appearances while the rest of the group was off on their own.
"Since this is a beach party want to go take a dip? I'm hot and sweaty a cool dip would be refreshing."

“It wasn’t bad.” Raleigh said with a light shrug of his shoulders and a blank face when Erol had made his way over, sweating and out if breath. The young man looked his friend up and down and then chuckled. “You were good. I enjoyed it... and from the sounds of it so did everybody else.”
Ra was quite partial to a dip in the ocean. With Ruri and Ai he would visit some of the less populated beaches of Hawaii and spent the day swimming and soaking up the sun. Of course not anymore. Darn it, he really missed his family.
“Alright.” He started towards the exit and then stopped, looking somewhat warily back at Erol. “You’re not going to get mobbed by fans the second you step outdoors right?”

Erol chuckled, "Nah, they're pretty cool about letting me move about. The most interesting thing is that no one notices me as well off stage as they do on." He shrugged stepping out and as expected no one really mobbed them. Most were still excited about the prior event, others talking about what songs they like and other such things.
By the time the two moved passed the crowd they were well on their way to the beach. "See. If I keep a low profile not many notice me. I guess without the lights and such I look ordinary. Though maybe that isn't a great thing but it works for now. Think about how hard it'd be if everyone found out I were an Evo or vise versa. There would be news about the agency and myself all over the place." He elapsed into silence upon hearing the sound of waves.
With a bright smile he charged for the beach tossing his shirt off and undoing his pants. Slipping out of them he continued on to the waves diving into the surprisingly warm waters. "Dude, seriously its warm in here. Come on, Ra!"

If everyone found out he was an evo, all hell would break loose. Raleigh didn’t relish the thought of that happening. Raleigh followed along behind Erol, glad that the crowds were leaving them alone. Soon the welcoming sound of waves was in the air, along with the salty tang of the sea. The moon cast quite a bit of light on the beach as they stepped onto the sand. It was a calm night. Behind them the sounds of the party went on, but at least here there was some relaxing stillness.
Rather than charging in like Erol, Ra took his time removing his pants, top and shoes, leaving the neatly on the sane before entering the water. It was indeed surprisingly warm. Despite Erol’s call Ra had been expecting it to be near freezing. He reached behind him, undoing the tie that bound his hair up in its ponytail and letting his hair fall free. Slipping the tie around his wrist he waded a little deeper and then slipped under the dark water.
That was refreshing. He came up for air a few metres off and cast a quick look around for Erol’s position as he floated.
