Chapter 10
Mana was scared senseless.
No matter how much he wanted to,he couldn't deny anymore that he was like pliable wax in Gackt's hands, and if Gackt wanted to he easily could destroy him all over again.
That was unacceptable.
It had taken him a long time and willpower to reconstruct himself back then, after he had left him with his broken dream -a kingdom without king, a band without vocalist and Mana realising how naive he had been believing with all his heart that they were meant to be..
Mana forced his long year companion - blessed apathy, to overcome him and weighed his options: He could try to avoid Camui and hope to forget about his existence, (although he really held no hope about this going well because he had obviously set his mind to seduce Mana and like the stubborn man he was known to be, he probably wasn't going to back off before he achieved his goal) OR he could do what he probably should have done all those years back then: let himself completely go, open up and offer Camui his soul and body to live for a short time through an illusion of heaven before he returned to the seventh level of hell to scorch there again - this time for eternity.
Yeah, right - as if he was suicidal..
Mana wrenched his brain to find a way out of this. Those couldn't possibly be his only two options. He had to find a way to make Camui back off....
"Gackto-kun, I am seeing someone."
Mana cringed mentally when his own words echoed in his ears. The lie had come out of his mouth the moment the idea had crossed his mind. He felt his cheeks flame up and turned his head to the window. This whole situation was getting ridiculously childish. Hilarious. Disgusting..
"Is it someone I know?" Gackt asked in his low voice. Mana couldn't even turn to look at him and above all he couldn't force another lie out his mouth. So he did what he thought was best: he just kept silent.
"I take your silence as confirmation." Gackt said after a while.
"It can't be someone from MoiDixMois or Schwarz Stein, you know better than to mix work with other things.." he mused without really expecting an answer from Mana. He knew too well that when the other man decided to be silent noone could make him talk.
"Is it Közi?" he asked coldly after a while. The silence became almost unbearable as the seconds passed.
"K'so(*), I should have known." Camui swore.
Mana turned his head and watched Gackt with interest. How had he come to the conclusion that he was seeing Közi? Oh right, Gackt had found him on the phone with him that morning so he assumed that it was him.. A little far-fetched maybe but well, he knew that he had always been close with the other guitarist.
So be it, Mana could live with that.
Közi was after all the closest thing to a real boyfriend Mana ever had.
---
Közi had told them that Yu~ki wouldn't make it because he had some other obligations this evening and now the three of them were sitting at their old table sipping on their beverages and waiting for their orders to arrive.
Conversation was held short and above all shallow and to say that the vibes between them were more than weird would only be a understatement..
Even Közi who had been calm and relaxed at first when they met seemed visibly tense now, which was really no wonder as Gackt hadn't averted his scrutinising gaze from him not even when he had ordered..
Mana on the other hand was completely expressionless and seeming like the personification of calamity itself, nothing indicating that inside he felt like hiding under the table. He had managed to ruin the evening with his stupid lie..
But it couldn't be really called his fault because who would have imagined that Gackt would react so... what the hell could his behaviour to Közi be called?
Jealousy?
Mana immediately discharged that thought.
Why on earth should Camui be jealous?
Camui obviously just wanted to drag Mana into his bed, the only logical conclusion would be that he wouldn't really care if he was seeing someone else. Maybe he only acted that way just to intrigue Mana..
Mana had already a headache from his own thoughts.
"Gacku-chan, do I have something on my face? Tooth-paste? Food? A slimy cockroach maybe??" Közi finally asked when he couldn't take the staring no more.
"Hm," Gackt seemed to be thinking about it and stared even harder "that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out."
"Nani(**)?" Közi was confused.
"What it is you have that he chose you over me."
Közi still looked at Gackt not understanding what he was talking about, but before he could ask the other man their conversation was suddenly interrupted when Mana choke ungraciously on his food and kept coughing helplessly till his eyes teared up. Közi jumped immediately to Mana's side and started hitting him rather hard between his shoulder-blades while Gackt shouted at him that he shouldn't be doing that as this was the wrong thing to do to a choking man.
As the two men argued about first aid lessons Mana had already recovered and was now getting very annoyed from Közi's hits and Gackt's attempts to embrace him and squeeze his chest.
"Stop it, god damnit!" he managed to shout above their voices while pushing them both frantically away with his hands and felt relieved to see them shut up and back off at once.
"You will excuse me for a minute." he said in a more even tone but obviously still angry and stood up to go to the bathroom.
---
"I guess we pissed him off." Közi said with a small grin to Gackt who was also grinning.
"Well, it's not a hard task to do. We both know how short his fuse is."
"You never told me, did he slap you for taking the phone from him this morning?" Közi asked.
"Actually he did.." Gackt snickered "but not for the phone."
"Oh?" Közi raised his brows. "What else did you do?"
"Well, burst into his office and protect his secretary from his scorn but I guess that the slap was for the other day.."
"You did even more that other day??" Közi asked looking at his ex-band-mate with mock respect.
"I practically invited myself over to his house for dinner and I kissed him." Gackt said coolly.
"You what? And he hasn't castrated you yet? Gacku-chan -I have to say that you are a lucky bastard!" Közi was laughing now and Gackt watched him carefully.
"You mean you don't mind?" Gackt asked searching in Közi's eyes while the other man slowly changed his expression to serious again.
"Gacku-kun, I would be lying if I'd say I don't, but I know that it is not my business.."
"You and Mana..?"
"..were never meant to be. I care for him deeply and I know that in his screwed up little soul he cares for me too, but it's not what you think." Közi sighed while picking up his glass and watching the liquid it contained with great interest.
"But he told me that you two.." Gackt began to speak only to be interrupted.
"Then he lied. He never wanted me. It was always you. When you left he was so devastated and broken.. but he came to me and asked me to be his lover. You know why?" Közi was very serious now and his eyes were dangerous slits watching Gackt's every movement.
Gackt just shook his head 'no'.
"Because he was afraid that I would leave him too. He kept begging me to never leave him like you did. He offered me his body because he thought that you left because he had never offered it to you. He felt guilty and stupid for the pureness of his love to you.. That's what he thought. Do you want to know how I know all this?"
"Hai." Gackt voiced with difficulty.
"Because he talks in his sleep, Gackt-san. He mourns about his destroyed world, the lost king and how much he regrets his naivety.. The real world which has stolen his prince... That it was all his fault."
Gackt was shocked. He couldn't believe what Köi was telling him but the other man didn't leave him time to think before he started talking again.
"Do you even realise that all the change Mana has gone through in the last years is because of you? Do you realise how much he loved you?"
Gackt didn't reply to the question asked, he just kept staring seemingly lost, at one particularly interesting point on the table.
"Mana is very shy, you know. And very fragile.." Köi added almost dreamily but soon snapped out of it and continued in a firm tone: "If you have any delusions about fucking him with no strings attached, I advise you to forget it. And although I don't know what exactly it is you have in mind with him I'll tell you one thing: if you hurt him one more time I will hunt you down and make your life a living hell. Do you understand me Camui?"
'Wow great, now he was 'Camui' again..' Gackt thought but nodded to Közi whose face lightened immediately up with an evil grin. Both of them saw Mana coming back from the bathroom and started talking about their food as if the previous conversation had never happened.
"Did I miss something?" Mana asked taking his seat again. "Another attempt from you to kill a choking man maybe?"
"Not really." Közi answered the grin still in place. "I was just asking Gackt how Hyde is doing."
Gackt and Mana cringed simultaneously at this one.
