Let the Memories of the Evening be... the first think that you think of------------------------------------------------}:- Tanaka Michi Physical Therapist
Fingertips...walking up your spine...a tongue sliding right behind..
Michi put on his normal clothes and walked out of the dressing room. It took him a little longer because being a man was sometimes merciless. His frustrations worked him over and well now he was just like...No Options to solve the problem!
As he walked out he looked around for Akihiko and then saw Yuuji getting the bill. For a second, he had a thought and roughly put it back into perspective. Wasn't he just worried sick about what Yuuji had done in the past just a hour or so ago. Oh god..he hated being a guy at times. And yes, he had a pretty good idea that Yuuji wasn't the right 'type' for him.
Walking down across the room, he finally found Akihiko and said in a more controlled voice, "How about we check out...mm...Gucci. Will have Takagi-san try on some clothes. His wardrobe is looking rather lean." Yes, he'd use Yuuji now to somehow relieve the tension. "Or maybe lunch?"
But when he thought about lunch, he also thought about playing footsy under the table with Akihiko. Maybe...lunch was a bad idea.

Smirking, Akihiko looked back over his shoulder, "YUUJI! YOU'RE THE NEW GUINEA PIG!" he shouted, pulling Michi out of the store with him.
Takagi just rolled his eyes and followed.
"Good idea. He can try stuff on and we can compare our tastes on him." the musician spoke, just trying to get his mind off his want to... well seriously rip Michi's clothes off and push him to the pavement right then and there.
Being frustrated like this annoyed Narcissus... because he'd never BEEN frustrated sexually before! The tension between himself and Michi was thick, and even if he was trying to plow through that thicket of sexual tension... it just wasn't working!
"Besides, he needs to dress to impress too... especially at parties and functions." Akihiko added as they entered the Gucci store next, Yuuji behind them with the bags.

Yuuji was not the BEST IDEA in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS as far as Michi was concerned. Man, he'd dress the guy like a god just to get his mind out of the pit he had landed face first into.
Putting his mind to the task at hand, he pulled out clothes and was shocked that there were so many things he just wanted to put Akihiko in...Oh no!!! "Yuuji! Go put this on...quick!" he said as he grabbed the bags right out of Yuuji's hands and filled them with clothes. Funny part was he gave him clothes he really wanted to see Akihiko in but...Dang it! Yuuji would just have to do because it was obvious neither he or Akihiko should be trying them on right now.

"You're both going to make me look ridiculous..." Yuuji said, his arms laden with the clothes. Because not only did Michi give him some... but Akihiko too. And they were all obviously meant to be something for Michi to wear... Except one purple suit.
Smirking, Narcissus leaned over to Michi with a wicked teasing smirk. "I'm thinking the purple as a gift for Shou-san for Christmas. I think he might look quite startling in it."
Meanwhile, Yuuji went into the dressing room multiple times, in and out, a new outfit each time, obviously humoring the two men. This time though, Akihiko reserved his comments until after Tanaka made his.
He wanted to test his friend's fashion sense, truth be told.

Let the Memories of the Evening be... the first think that you think of------------------------------------------------}:- Tanaka Michi Physical Therapist
Fingertips...walking up your spine...a tongue sliding right behind..
"You're not going to look ridiculous!" Michi piped up as he put the bags to the side. "You're going to look fabulous!" Ah yes, Yuuji was going to look really good because Michi would be envisioning Akihiko in those clothes. No wait he had to NOT think of Akihiko in those clothes he had to think of...well wait.. what did he have to think of? Actually, he had to avoid thinking of the frustration he was feeling about the man in white beside him. The man he wanted to push down in a dressing room and savage with hungry kisses. Yeah that is what he wanted to...do.
But then Yuuji was stepping out with the first suit. What a distraction! It was intense and purple. Even Michi knew that Purple was one of Shou's favorite colors. The regal peacock that couldn't dress in anything subtle. On Yuuji though, he had a hard time seeing the...image. Yuuji was a bit like himself at least on the surface. Rather...normal? Well not a shockingly sexy diva beauty. Just good looking.
"Wow...I couldn't pull that purple suit off if I wanted. It would look wrong on me." said Michi as he watched Yuuji model it. "You're right...it could only really look good on someone like...Shou-san. I mean its gorgeous but you've got to have a really..mm..certain outrageous style. It suits...Shou-san."
And ah..this distraction was working so well! With Yuuji doing all the modeling he started not feeling the cravings nearly as intensely. "Oh I like that black one the scarf really completes the image. Mm...I wouldn't mind wearing that."
As Yuuji went back into the dressing room, Michi glanced at Akihiko and wondered what the man was thinking. He felt kind of badly that Akihiko had to hold back now that he had Izzy. But then again, if Akihiko was fooling around, why shouldn't Izzy be able to. Yeah maybe he could get that. But then again, he could see Akihiko's jealous nature really unable to cope with Izzy messing around with another man. The only solutions Michi could see...was either Akihiko's jealous going away? Fat chance in Hell. Or...Izzy deciding he would be happy with Akihiko alone even if Akihiko was fooling around. Mm..well...Michi couldn't even answer that one because under normal circumstances. It wouldn't have been acceptable to him.
But then he glanced up quickly as Yuuji came out in the orange vest with pattened jacket and Michi had to look twice. "That's really fun. It's a real happy outfit. I love the jeans. Looks good on Takagi-san too... What do you think Takagi-san?"
Once Yuuji walked into view wearing the 3rd outfit, Michi paused, "It's almost too...conservative for me. But, I really love the scarfed look. Mmm...I suppose that it could be used at the right meetings? But I don't think its Takagi-san's style either because he's almost too lanky for it."
"So what do you think, Akihiko?" he asked and then realized Yuuji would be coming out in the clothes he picked for "Yuuji" next.

"Shou-san could easily pull it off." Akihiko replied as he glanced to Michi. "Even I might have a hard time with it." he teased, walking around Yuuji and looking at him from every angle.
His cousin sighed, "I do look ridiculous." Takagi objected, looking to Tanaka with a smirk. "Liar. You knew it would look stupid."
Okay, so both men were teasing... which was a bit odd in Narcissus' mind, but he really didn't think anything of it. Because right now he wasn't focused on his cousin... he was focused on shopping.
"It'll be perfect for Shou-san, now go..." he pushed Yuuji back into the dressing room.
Somehow, Akihiko realized that Michi was contemplating something that had to do with the musician. He didn't comment... but it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out either. Akihiko now had Izzy... but for some reason he and Izzy hadn't been able to consummate their relationship... thus providing endless frustration to Akihiko who was now standing around with a man who he was equally physically attracted too and would be able to have a go with him without batting an eyelash. But why couldn't he do that with Izzy?! It was mind boggling! And as much as Narcissus wanted to get to the bottom of the dilemma... he wasn't about to tell his lover that. Hell no. The consequences of an insecure Izzy Lucky were too awful for him to imagine. Not to mention it made Akihiko himself look like less a man...
But then Yuuji was back out again and the young Koyasu was distracted from his frustrating thoughts once more.
"I think I still look ridiculous." Yuuji replied with a sigh. "Why in hell you spend this much money on clothes is beyond me."
Akihiko wacked his cousin on the back of the head. "Because I can. Unlike you, people actually rate how I look in public. If my fashion is too far off base, and it's not an obvious stunt of some sort, my popularity suffers. Why the hell do you think I've been wearing these damn hats non-stop lately?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, "I'd rather people stare at what I'm wearing than what I'm hiding... and if they're staring, then the clothes better be damn good." he finished walking around Yuuji and coming to stand by Michi.
"That doesn't explain why HIS," Takagi pointed to Michi. "clothes have to be this expensive."
Narcissus rolled his eyes, "Because Michi-kun is going to be one of us soon and I'd rather he be fashionable than mocked. Not that you dress odd or anything," he added, glancing to the physical therapist. "It just won't look good if your clothes are bargain bin when you're being interviewed by the press or hounded by paparazzi."
"You're going to turn him into you, baka." Takagi spoke, to which Akihiko only smirked then turned to Tanaka fully.
"Alright so I'm getting the purple suit for Shou-san as a Christmas gift. We'll go with the black outfit and the bright one for you... maybe make the coat on the conservative one black or dark grey instead and it can be used for meetings or charity functions." but then he stopped. "Wait, you don't have a tux, do you?"
Yuuji sighed, "Run now, Tanaka-san... while you have the chance."

"Yeah, I think Shou-san will look hot in that. How is it that he can look so good in something like that while the rest of us couldn't even attempt it?" Michi asked as Yuuji walked off to change. Michi actually liked purple but he sincerely doubted his capabilities to wear that suit.
"Oh you don't look ridiculous." Michi said just before Yuuji slipped into the dressing room. But as soon as Yuuji was gone, he chuckled quietly. "Definitely not Takagi-san's style."
"Man...I'm going to be really stuck when I have to purchase clothes. I mean I really can only afford the umm...normal stores." he said as Akihiko turned to him. Then stammered because well....He never wore a tuxedo in his life! "Uuhhhh...no."
He said this just as Yuuji was warning him to run. And now he realized that he had just let loose the monster shopper in Akihiko. "Oh...well you know we can worry about the tux when I make a hit worth the celebration right? I mean you've spent so much already and Takagi-san still has to try on the clothes I picked out yet." He said quickly hoping that it would distract his friend from the other idea. Although Akihiko's mind was like a steel trap sometimes.
But as soon as Yuuji went back into the dressing room, Michi had to say to Akihiko quietly. "Hey, if there's anything you want to talk about in regards to Ishi-san and...mm.. you know. I'm always willing to help." He knew Akihiko was frustrated and needed an outlet of some sort. That's what Michi had been there for many times.

Blue eyes flashed dangerously for a brief second, but then Akihiko smiled just a tiny bit. "I know you're willing to help." he spoke plainly before sighing, focusing his attention back on the dressing room as he waited for Yuuji to appear once more. "But some things can't be helped. I've a lot on my mind lately... and as much as I'd like to just take some time off, just Ruki and myself... I know I can't. I think... once things settle down... this frustration will subside. I hope." his smile grew a bit and the musician laughed softly. "Just don't be surprised when and if I start dumping a load of information and or problems on your head. God knows I need an outlet because if I start talking to Ruki about this, he'll think it's his fault."
It was just then though that Yuuji returned wearing one of the outfits Michi had picked out. Thus once again, the young Koyasu patiently waited for Tanaka's reaction first.

Michi noticed the eyes and that glance. Obviously, he had struck a nerve somewhere. Backing off was easy and he was certain that smile only covered issues that Akihiko wasn't ready to discuss. Once Akihiko started talking, Michi only nodded and then said, "Well, I'm here when you need me. I bet you'll be happy when you can take Ishi-san away for Christmas." He smiled just a bit then looked over at the dressing rooms.
"Ah...yeah just take things slow. You know, you've got him now. So you've plenty of time to work things out. Oh man...I almost forgot, Ishi-san has a birthday coming up too. Crap. You know my mom always sends him brownies for his birthday. She wrote down the date because he never tells anyone when it's coming up. I better get him something this year...any ideas?" He glanced back over at Akihiko and smirked, "Maybe I should get him something from America. Frozen foods?"
He then saw Yuuji return with the clothes he picked out...for Akihiko but come to think of it, Yuuji didn't look half bad in the clothes he picked. "You're looking pretty good in that, Takagi-san." He almost said dark and dangerous but that brought up a warning light in Michi head just before he opened his mouth. The clothes were a nice streamline fit in the pants showing off details of the legs. Very sexy. But the various jackets made the outfit along with the shoes. Just a hint of color. He could see them on...Akihiko. He wanted to do more than just see Akihiko in them but...yes he thought they looked good. "Mm..maybe not the man bag but the coats look stunning."
Of course, he had to glance at Akihiko and wonder what the man thought of them considering he had Akihiko in mind when he picked them out. He really didn't realize that Akihiko was evaluating his fashion sense through out all this. Maybe it was a good thing because then he would have been self conscious about everything he picked out.

"Come to think of it what day is his birthday exactly?" Akihiko asked, looking at Michi again. "I have a present in mind but... well... I'd like to know how long I have to prepare it to be honest. But no... no frozen foods. God no." the musician rolled his eyes. "If he's going to be living with me, which I expect him to most of the time, he's not going to be eating frozen food." then the man smirked. "Get him a gift certificate to a manga store. I'd name one but I don't read them so I really have no idea where but, a store that specializes in it. I think he might tackle you and hug you if you did."
It wasn't known by many that Izzy read manga... and known by fewer WHAT he read. Narcissus had half a mind to just buy an entire store's section of yaoi for his lover... but that might be seen as suspicious and then he'd have to explain to fans WHY he'd bought all that yaoi. 'It's not for me, it's for my manager.' simply sounded like a lame excuse.
"I think..." the musician's blue gaze was on his cousin. "That they might fit your image, Michi... they would certainly fit my own but... if you were trying to be a bit darker, it might work." glancing at the physical therapist, he smiled. "Too bad Yuuji's straight... otherwise I might have to say he looked sexy."
Takagi rolled his eyes, "Are you two through playing dress up with me?" the man asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"By the way who ever thought these man purses were a good idea in the first place?" the young Koyasu spoke up. "It only makes straight men look gay and gay men look limp." he said, taking the man purse and tossing it to the side... where a sales clerk luckily caught it and hung it up. "Michi, no man purse for you, got it?" his blue gaze fell on the other man. "I mean honestly... it doesn't scream sexy in the least."

He looked up to the ceiling for a moment thinking back, "His birthday is the 23rd of December. A few days before Christmas. My mom says that he usually doesn't do much for his birthday or Christmas. She found him eating frozen dinners on his birthday one year when she dropped off the brownies. I think that's what convinced her to keep sending them."
"So a manga gift certificate? Ok that's easy, I can hit Animate and get him one. They've got everything that's new so I'm sure he can find something. I'm surprised you don't read manga, Akihiko. There are really interesting stories out there. Maybe I'm more surprised that Ishi-san reads manga. He seems so firmly...rooted at times." he chuckled and ran his fingers through his hair. "It's good to know that Ishi-san does something that isn't work related."
"You think they are more me than you? Well..." he smiled. "Ok well, I wouldn't turn them down. And I would wear them but I was thinking of you when I picked them out."
But then Yuuji was talking and he had to turn his head to look. "Oh Takagi-san. You're the best model we have. You shouldn't complain too much. It's not like were dressing you in a clown suit or bunny ears." Michi's good mood was actually coming back to him through all these distractions that had livened up his day.
"Hey I don't know Akihiko it might be a great substitute for my medical bag." For a moment Michi stared at the man bag considering the options. "I could put more things in that man bag than my current bag of tricks...Mmmm" Then he gave Akihiko a sly smile just before biting his lip and looking away. Dang, it really was going to be difficult not to think about the man in 'that' way.

"But a bag or a backpack or a... a briefcase is normal. Men with purses?!" Akihiko shook his head, firmly against it. "Unless there's a medical symbol printed on that man purse, you wouldn't change my mind."
Oh he knew how that bag of tricks worked... that delicious bag of tricks that nearly made the musician shiver with desire. INSTEAD... he focused on the clothes again.
"Picked them out with me in mind?" the man asked, looking them over again. "I thought we were really shopping for you and presents? But... no. While I would wear something like that, I think it would make a good statement for you instead."
As Yuuji changed and got the items together to take to the counter, Narcissus couldn't help but frown. "I don't know if he'll want to spend his birthday with me, but I've already made him promise to stay over for Christmas. I got a um... interesting little gift at the charity party that would really spice that night up. But his birthday... maybe we should throw him a small party at my place?"

"Ok Ok...no man purse unless its got a red cross on it." Michi laughed knowing that Akihiko probably was thinking about his bag of tricks right now. But still he had to avoid that line of conversation or he'd drive his friend utterly crazy.
"Well...you know, it's fun when every one is enjoying the shopping. I mean I could have just shopped for me but well mm...it's hard for me to look at all these clothes without umm...looking at the price tag right now. Maybe in time I won't but at the moment I don't even want to think how much you're spending on me."
"Well, it can hurt to ask him. Think about it. Before, he was alone and didn't have a partner. And I'm sure that he worked a lot of the time around his birthday. Now he has you in his life...so maybe he'll share a bit more with you. I think a small party would be great. He deserves that kind of fun."
Then he tilted his head and grinned, "I suggest turning off his phones for Christmas and make sure Santa comes down that tree with bells on." Michi had no idea what Akihiko got from the Charity event. If he had he might have said something completely different. "My mom's promised me a big home cooked meal and she's got my room ready so I won't have to take the train home. It will be kind of nice going home for Christmas. She's been planning stuff ever since she found out I was ok." Even though Michi's mom was a very tough demanding woman, he still loved her dearly and knew that his Christmas would be quite a happy one.
"I should get her something nice from one of these American stores before I go home!" he suddenly said realizing that he'd not have much time to shop for Xmas by the time he got back to Japan.

"I've never met your mother so I can't help you on shopping in that regard." Akihiko replied with a smile while Yuuji paid for the newest addition to Michi's wardrobe. "You should wear one of these outfits when you go home, just to impress her. As for how much I'm spending... before I'd only ever bought stuff for myself... it's... nice to buy for other people." the musician replied with a soft smile. "In fact, I kind of enjoy it not that I have people to buy for. You being my friend, Ruki being... well my manager," of course he was using that term loosely. "And Shou-san being a friend too. Maybe I should think about getting something for Hayato-san..." at this, the man began to ponder.
"I wouldn't worry about Hayato-san. He'll probably be happy just having Shou-san home." Yuuji pipped up, carrying all the bags once more.
Smiling, Akihiko nodded, "You're probably right..." of course he was still going to get the man something. They're nearly died together after all!
"I'll have to get you to get a tailored tux later, Nikki-san could probably do a nice one for you." the young Koyasu said, looking back to Michi as they left the store. "You'll need it for black tie events. That or you could always wear a Kimono like NAKO-san." he teased.
But he didn't say anything further about Izzy. No... he would ask his lover if they could have a party for him. Just close friends like Shou and Michi, Nakai and Chiyou. Of course probably Nikki and Yammi and Jaz but that was it. A small, comfortable, party. Of course Narcissus knew his mask would have to be in place during the party. He wasn't exactly comfortable letting it down in front of anyone BUT Izzy or Michi... but after the party... well... he planed to wear Izzy out before the festivities ended, tuck him into bed, then make him breakfast the next morning.

"No you've just talked to her on the phone. Remember." he laughed as he watched Yuuji pay for the clothes. God he didn't want to know how much that bill was. He was certain that once he got these clothes home, he'd have to make a shrine to them because he doubted he'd ever spend that much on his own for clothes like these.
"Well, thank you for these gifts, Akihiko. And yeah, I'll wear one home but she's going to be more interested in me than the clothes I'm wearing I think. Hey...I've no idea what to get you for Xmas. You're going to have to tell me what you want...something I can afford to buy." he said with a grin thinking that Akihiko probably would be the hardest man on the planet to shop for in Michi's own price range. Of course, there were things that didn't cost money but he wouldn't offer any of those considering their day so far.
------
It was then Akihiko's phone rang and the number on the phone was MeKA.
"Moshi Moshi. Ruki desu. Hi Akihiko, Are you having a good day? Are you still at the house? Or did you find something to do?" asked Izzy with a happy voice over the phone he borrowed at studio. "Shou-san and I have finished 3 recordings of my song. But Shou-san is still trying to determine which version we go with. " Izzy was determined to sound happy even though he was unsure about things when he talked about this particular project with Akihiko. It worried him what the man was thinking ever time he mentioned it.
"We're getting close to working on the other song so I was wondering if you wanted to come out here early and warm up or if you were busy? We can wait either way. They are catering in lunch for us since we've been here. Would you like to eat with us?" Izzy had no idea that Akihiko hooked up with Michi and Yuuji so didn't mention them in his conversation. Actually he hoped Akihiko had found a good way to pass the time considering that the previous night had gone so...poorly especially with Akihiko's grandfather.
