He yawned after a bit constantly closing his eyes and almost falling asleep while waiting for Akira to come back. Yuji had a bit of a time off for the moment, unless the band was rehearsing, which from what he remembered they didn’t have until tomorrow. Yuji was starting to get bored, so he left the room and headed over to see what Ray was doing, not really wanting to deal with Aeron, which didn’t really seem to matter before as Aeron never seemed to want to deal with Ray and him.

He knocked on Ray’s door, waiting for a response. “Hey, man. Want to go out or something?” he asked, “I’m bored.”

Ray looked at Yuji, chuckling as he opened the door, “What your little love bird not at home?” he asked, “How is it with that hot piece of ass in your bed?” he asked, snickering.

Yuji rolled his eyes, “Oh brother, Ray. Come on. Let’s go out. ‘She’ is currently working on learning the choreography,” he explained, “and I need to keep my mind off of that hot ass.”

Ray rolled his eyes back, “yeah, yeah, come on Mr. Hot Shot,” he said and grabbed his jacket and locked the door before following to head out, “where are we headed?” he asked.

“What about a couple of hot spots in town that I saw when I was out with Akira?” he suggested, “They looked pretty cool. Good place to get a drink, pick up a few girls. Well, pick up a girl,” he snickered.

Ray nodded, “Sounds good to me,” he said, starting to follow the other, “so, seriously, are you cool with this? I mean ‘she’ is a hot piece of ass. And God can ‘she’ make a guy want to come in his pants with ‘her’ dancing, but with ‘her’ little secret, I mean, are you cool with that?” he asked, putting on his jacket just as they headed outside.

Yuji nodded, “Actually, I’m totally cool with that. I guess, I’m just kind of worried that ‘she’ might not be cool with it. After all, to have to… you know?” he asked. “I just feel like ‘she’ is going to feel trapped and want out. And to have to stay close to Aeron after he almost…” he trailed off, licking his lips. “I want to…be closer? but ‘she’ deserves better.”

Ray nodded, “yeah, that’s pretty damn true. And I agree I wouldn’t want to feel, obligated just because I was in your bedroom,” he explained, “I could always sleep with ‘her’” he offered, “since I have no interest in sleeping with ‘her.’” He laughed again and shook his head, ducking into the bar that they were heading to.

Yuji rolled his eyes, “yeah, yeah. That is in no way ever going to happen.” He paused thinking if he should tell Ray, deciding on yes, he continued. “You know, I told ‘her’ about Megan…” he said after a little while after them finding a table and looking over and around the bar.

Ray looked up from a waitress he was checking out and looked over to Yuji, “Hold it. Like Megan Miller Megan? Megan who got you to play, Megan?” he asked, arching his eyebrow.

“Yeah… told ‘her’ about my dads too.”

Ray went wide-eyed, “Dexter doesn’t even know about them!” he leaned back, “do you really like ‘her’ like that?” he asked, shaking his head, “You barely know ‘her,’ hell you didn’t even know about ‘her’ secret until recently!” he sighed, “but you know, I suppose that isn’t so bad, with your… special interests. Mine, however, are not so particular. Hey babe,” he said as the waitress he was checking out earlier came to their table. “Where have you been, I’ve been missing you.”

The waitress blinked and looked down at her tablet before sighing, “I’m sorry, do I know you?”

“Not yet, but if I’m lucky you will soon?” Ray tried. “Am I going to be lucky tonight?” he asked, “Miss…”

The waitress looking Ray up and down, “Cute. And maybe. And no Miss… you can just call me Aggie,” she said, “What can I get your guys tonight, minus myself, Mr. Player?” she asked, jotting down their responses on her tablet and headed off, seeming to walk just a bit slower than she had before.

Ray followed her with his eyes and shook his head, “Mhm, Mhm, Mhmm, she is gonna be mine tonight,” he said, smirking. “You should call Akira up and have ‘her’ join us. I want to see some of those outfits you got her.”

Yuji blinked and licked his lips, “why not,” he said and called Akira up, “Hey! You done with practice?” he asked as soon as Akira picked up. “Really? Oh, cool. You should um- huh? Oh, yeah, I was just about to tell you to get dressed and come over. You remember where it is right? Uh-huh, okay, see you in a bit,” he said and hung up his phone, he smirked, “so… apparently ‘she’ was planning on coming here in the first place. Wants to unwind from a hard day of practice.”

Ray glanced over, still following Aggie around with his eyes, “that’s awesome dude.” He said and gave Aggie a smile when she came back over. “Wanna dance when you go on break?” he asked.

Aggie looked over to the bar and then back to Ray, “Depends.”

“On what?”

“If what the bartender said was correct.”

Ray chuckled, “What was it that he said?”

“That you are Ray, from the KnobKnockers.” Aggie eyed Ray and then looked over to Yuji, “And he’s Yuji, the drummer. Is that right?” she asked.

Ray glanced over to Yuji and then nodded, “Yeah, that’s right.”

Aggie frowned, “I heard you have a girlfriend.”

Ray laughed, “No. I don’t, he does though,” Ray said, nodding over to Yuji, “she’s actually showing up here in a few if you want to confirm. I’m sure he can prove it to you somehow,” he smirked. “But I’m single and looking.”

Aggie was still frowning, “yeah, you point her out the moment she comes in. Kay?” she said and then left their drinks and headed off.

Ray looked over to Yuji, “screw ‘her’ on the floor, man. This girl is hot for me, and I’m so going to be taking her home.”

Yuji rolled his eyes and nodded, “I’m not going to screw ‘her’ on the floor. But, I will kiss ‘her’ if ‘she’ll’ let me,” he said, and looked up when he saw Akira enter. “Hey! Aggie!” he called and pointed to the ‘girl’ at the door.

Akira blinked when he heard Yuji and looked over to the waitress coming over to him. “Um… yes?” he asked.

“Who is your boyfriend?” she asked, pointing over to the table.

Akira looked even more confused “Um… that one.” He said and pointed to Yuji. “Why?”

Aggie smirked, “because I think we are both getting lucky tonight,” she said and winked at Akira, handing him a piece of paper, “give that to Ray for me, please?” she asked.

Akira took the piece of paper and nodded, “sure,” he said, blushing lightly and heading over to the table, about to sit down next to Yuji.

“Hold up. Give us a twirl, cutie.” Ray laughed, spinning his finger, wanting to see the outfit.

Akira rolled his eyes and spun around slowly. “Happy?” he asked, before sitting back down not waiting for the answer. He had on one of the many miniskirts Yuji insisted on getting him, one with a red and black ribbon crisscrossing back and forth on the skirt. His shirt was a tank top, clutching to him in all the ‘right’ places. He managed to find another thinner tank top to wear underneath it for the appearance of wearing a bra. His hair was done up with some barrettes, so that it was out of his face but gave this ‘bedhead’ type of look. He moved to sit down next to Yuji and handed Ray the piece of paper, “a waitress handed that to me,” he said, “does it mean anything to you?” he asked.

Ray opened the piece of paper and a huge smile came upon his face, “Hell yeah it does.” He said, showing it to Yuji and Akira, all it had was a time on it. “See that! That’s her break time! I’m gonna get lucky tonight!” he laughed out loud and checked his cell phone for the time.

Akira arched his eyebrow and finally rolled his eyes, “Oh, so that’s why she asked,” he said, “According to her… I’m getting lucky tonight as well,” he said and looked over to Yuji, “Why would she think that?”

Yuji blushed bright red “I- I- I- don’t know.” He said, stumbling over all of his words as he refused to look Akira in the eyes.

Akira blushed as well and looked away giving a small smile.
