Pick of the litter

Disclaimer: I own nothing!!!

Gackt reached for the phone, his arm shaking, his fingertips gazing over the speakerphone button.

“Moshi moshi?” Gackt answered.

“Uh…hi.” Hyde’s voice filled the room as well as something inside of the other man.

“Should I leave?” You whispered into his friend’s ear.

Did he have to ask?

Gackt didn’t speak until You had completely departed from the room. Belle had gone with him. Her bladder was full and she was hoping that her other parent would oblige her. So did Gackt.

“Well….” Gackt began and waited.

“What do you want me to say?” Hyde sighed into the phone.

“You called me.” Gackt stated bitterly.

“Look, I can’t…she would never-I just come see me.”

Come see me?

The words played in Gackt’s mind. Should he?

“Place and time.” Gackt spat almost grudgingly. He did want to see the petite vocalist he couldn’t deny that.

“ I’m at the studio at the moment. Meet me in the parking lot. We’ll play it by ear.”

There was a pause before Hyde added the words, “I really miss you.”

Did he now?

“Okay. But I’m bringing my car too.”

“Of course.” Another pause. “Gaku, I love you.”

Before Gackt could reply Hyde had hang up.

He pressed the off button as he rose.

Now, what am I wearing?

````

“You’re not really going to see him are you?” Tetsu asked as he watched Hyde finger comb his hair.

“Yes.” Hyde answered.

His hands dropped to his side and he sighs deeply. Hyde rises to his feet picks up his jean jacket, puts it down, sits down, stands and picks it up again.

‘Maybe I should’ve told him to call when he was on his way’

Hyde thought as he chewed the inside of his cheek repeating the motions over again.

‘‘Would you just sit the fuck down!” Tetsu shouted getting tried of watching Hyde pop up like a mole in the whack a mole game.

Numbly Hyde sits his eyes are trained to his phone that he had in the pocket of his jacket.

As if he willed it, his cell began to vibrate. Megumi.

“Fuck.” He curses out loud as he fishes out the phone.

Tetsu shakes his head. He remembers the days when Hyde couldn’t wait to her from her.

“Yes, Megumi.” Hyde answers into the phone.

“Were you busy?” She replies sweetly.

“No.” He lies.

‘What does she want now?’

“Good. Our son is sick so I need you to pick up his prescription on your way home.”

“Sure.”

“Thanks.” She says before hanging up.

For once he was glad that she had called. Now he had an excuse not to see his eccentric lover.

The phone rang again, Orenji no Taiyo, Gackt.

“You’re still going aren’t you.” Tetsu said more as a statement then a question. He knew that there wasn’t anything he could say to change the vocalist’s mind.

Hyde didn’t answer him. He just flipped up the lid of his phone.

“Yea?” He answered.


“I’m fifteen minutes away.” Gackt informed.

“Yeah, about that.” Hyde ran a agitated hand through his dark brown locks. “Something’s come up.”

“I see.”

Hyde could almost see Gackt’s facial expression in his mind’s eye. His lover’s lips drawn together in a tight line almost like a sneer, his hands gripping and relaxing on the steering wheel all while his eyes remained almost blank as he stares forward at the on going traffic.

“I’ll meet you later.” Hyde said quickly ignoring Tetsu’s disapproving stare. “Your house. I’ll bring dinner.”

“Whatever.”

“Wait for me. Please.”

Gackt was considering. It took a lot to make his little lover beg like that.

“I’m locking the door around ten.”

Hyde glanced at his watch. It was a little after seven now.

```

Unfuckingbelievible! Gackt thought as he continued towards the studio. Her. It had to do something with her, he was sure. Maybe his words about Hyde not caring about his wife had gotten to his lover. Maybe…

Gackt parked across the street from the garage opening.

“Come on, Haido.” He whispered as he tapped his fingers furiously against the dashboard of his car.

He didn’t have to wait long. Hyde’s car appeared shortly.

“That bastard!” Gackt shouted, his hand balling into a fist as it slammed down on the dash. He had caught sight of Tetsu in the passengerseat. “Something came up my ass!” Gackt hissed as he took off after Hyde’s car keeping at least two cars behind.
