A Dance to Build Your Love [Jengo/Masaya]

[phantasmalunar]

"Dad," came a young bored voice. "Wake up." Jengo was suddenly hit in the face with a pillow and rolled of the couch surprised.

Rubbing the back of his head, Jengo asked, "What?"

"Work. School," answered the dark blue haired boy pointing from Jengo then to himself.

Jengo sighed. "Right, okay, get ready and we'll go."

"I'm ready, you get ready," responded Lel.

The silver haired Zercan rolled his eyes. "Right, right," he said heading to his room and digging through his closet for a change of work clothes.

"How was the date?"

Jengo was a bit startled by the question. "Uh, fine."

"Did you kiss?"

"How do you even know about kissing, Lel."

"I grew up with you and Keiru," his son answered matter-of-factly.

That would explain it, Jengo thought and started to change. "Yeah, I did. And remind me to keep Keiru away from you from now on."

The next morning, Masaya found himself being woken up by a loud knocking on his door. Followed by a familiar voice. His bearer. Or his Mother. He was still use to calling him that. Apparently, he needed to come down for breakfast.

Well, there were no arguments there. Masaya moved out of bed, a bit slowly. He really didn't mind sleeping in. Eventually getting out of bed, and getting himself ready within a matter of minutes. Ten to fifteen to be exact. Only then did he walk out and head downstairs.

Having spoken to his bearer already, about last night, the dinner table was silent. But he felt the curious stare of his father on him. He still did eat breakfast with both of them. He should have expected some sign of curiosity. But he couldn't tell him anything. He didn't feel comfortable telling his father about any dates he had been on. Besides, he was sure his bearer said something. Just hopefully, nothing that went into detail, though there wasn't much to go on but the very few kisses had, and what actually happened.

Then later today wouldn't be any better. He had to work at the club. He knew he could expect a few questions, along with the usual, from customers.

[phantasmalunar]

Jengo was humming all through his work. His customers kept commenting on it and he just shrugged saying he just woke up on the right side of the bed that morning (or hit his head when he fell off the couch, but no matter). When he got to his last customer, a rich Fae couple, the barer of the two said something that made his humming stop.

"You seem in quite the good mood today, Mr. Vitality, I suppose you had a good night with that pretty new red head last night."

Jengo looked up at the Fae barer. "How did you know?"

"I saw you two dancing yesterday on the ballroom floor. Quite a lovely sight, really. I'm happy that you've finally started to date again."

"Uh, thanks, well the fountains fixed."

"Thank you very much Mr. Vitality," the barer Fae said as Jengo started gathering his stuff. "You should keep this one. Lore was a wonderful person, but perhaps this is the one you've always been truly destined for."

Jengo's face fell. "I don't believe in destiny, but I plan on keeping him for a while. Just bring the payment to the company tomorrow."

Lore. Hearing, thinking, remembering that name hurt him still. He had loved him and beat destiny by making him his. Jengo hated to think that he had died simply so Jengo could meet his real mate. Masaya; he grinned at the sound of the red head boy's name. Was he suppose to save him from something?

[Kago]

Masaya's day was spent mostly with his bearer. Not only did they end up talking about last night. They also spoke about the person he went out with. The wonderful Zercan. Jengo. It had also been brought up, that they needed to go shopping, so that was how the first half of Masaya's day was spent.

Going to some clothing stores with his bearer, and constantly being reminded of the night before.

"He really does sound like a lovely young man." That was Masaya's bearer speaking. While he handed him some clothes to wear. Ones to try on.

"Yes, he is." Masaya really didn't feel like talking about him in public. Not that, he had a problem with it. It was just, people could hear. And some of the comments his bearer made sounded rather...lewd. He wasn't sure how else to describe it.

"You'd look lovely in this outfit Masaya," His bearer handed him another outfit, adding something else as he took it. "I'm sure he'd compliment you with this on."

That elicited a blush from Masaya. The outfit he handed was pretty. He didn't mind trying it on. It however, showed quite a bit of skin. Not that he minded that. Especially not with some of the photo shoots he had. But he suddenly found himself feeling self-conscious.

"Go on, try it on," His bearer actually ushered him into the dressing room, to try on the many clothes he had to wear.

Without having to look at the time, Masaya had a feeling today would be one of those long days. And he had to work tonight. He wondered what the chances of him getting to see Jengo again, sooner then later were. When was his next off day? Would it be rude to visit him at work? He felt it would be, so he would just wait until he crossed paths with him again. Besides, he had something to focus on now. He needed to try the clothes on.

[phantasmalunar]

Jengo laid on his couch that had recently become his bed after work. Lel was at his grandparents and Keiru off ruining another barer, so he was quite lonely. He wondered as it was the middle of the day, if, next time he saw Masaya, giving the red head his address and asking him to come over would be too forward. He wanted to see him again, to get his mind of of what that fae barer had said, but their work schedules made that hard.

"Lore," he whispered into the empty three room house, "is it really okay that I feel like this for him?"

[Kago]

It seemed like it took forever before Masaya was home. He and his bearer carrying various amounts of clothes, in the bags provided by the stores. He was quick to go to work with putting up the clothes that were bought for himself.

Masaya could recall it clearly now. His bearer buy him this said new uniform. Wear it at least once, he said. See how it looked. See how others react. One of the best things about being off the market was getting to tease others. What was his bearer talking about. Making him blush so much. It wasn't as if he was trying to seduce anyone with his body.

Sure, he didn't mind looking nice. But, he thought he would need to be more serious here. Not just having fun. Or appearing to tease, and seduce other. He didn't want to do that. All he really cared about was Jengo. Well, that was the only person who he thought mattered with his looks. Still, even after he said that, his mother went on to say more. Insisting he do it anyways. saying he would have fin, and that he needed to relax.

Did he seem...uptight or something. He couldn't help but wonder. Oh well, he did agree, to try it once. Then that was it. Time went by so fast though, it was almost time for him to go to work. In fact, he went off to get ready now, taking a bath, then he would get ready to go.

[phantasmalunar]

That was it, Jengo was going out. He quickly called up Keiru was just happened to be in need of someone new, and quickly got ready to go to Masaya's club. He wore fitting blue jeans and a black vest like shirt with two arms bands on his upper arms. His hari was tied back in a long braid. When Keiru arrived, he almost outshined the red head. "Let's get going."

[Kago]

Masaya didn't take long to finish get ready for work. Soon enough, he was dressed in the 'new' uniform his bearer made him wear. It wasn't that different from old uniform. It just showed...a lot more skin. He felt compelled to tell his bearer he wouldn't wear it. But how could he when he bought it for him. He had to at least wear it once. It seemed only proper.

At the moment, Masaya was wearing what appeared to be a modified version of his usual uniform. The basic black and white outfit. The black pants he usually wore were ow shorts. Not like the typical short pants, that might have stopped a little above the knees, but shorts that seemed to come a bit too close to stopping below his hips. He was very close to saying he was wearing hot pants. He wasn't. The shirt he had, appeared to be more like a white blouse. One that didn't quite reach the edge of his pants. It showed a bit of stomach. On purpose. Then to top it off, he had a vest. That was at least the same. If he closed it, he could avoid anyone seeing any of the skin he had showing beneath.

Masaya really had to wonder what his bearer was thinking. He even told him to wear his hair in a certain. Nothing special. He just told him to wear it down. Now it cascaded down his back, and about his shoulders. He had to wonder if he really looked appropriate for work. Well, he had to go to work either way, so he left like he was. Even though he was reluctant. Its how he left for work.

[phantasmalunar]

Jengo's eyes began to dart around immediatly after entering the club looking for Masaya. He couldn't find him.

"Calm down, Jen-Jen. He's here somewhere, so don't go sticking your tail between your legs," said Kieru as he went over to the bar with his silver haired cousin in tow. "Hello there, beautiful," he said to the bartender, "my cousin and I will be sitting at that table. When you see a cute little red named..."

"Masaya," Jengo said glaring at his cousin.

"..Yeah, that, could you send him over there. Thanks."

Jengo fallowed his cousin annoyed that he'd done that. "I could have found him myself."

"Yes, but this way I get to tease you," and they sat.

[Kago]

It was a very bad idea. That was what Masaya thought of his outfit as he had made his way to the club. Arriving in the back. He didn't need to attract anymore attention then he had already. And he had attracted a bit so far. Well, stares, or simply glances, by anyone he passed by. He would have thought it was a relief to arrive. But then he recalled, he was in a club.

The one thing he should expect at a club was to be starred at. Well, only if others found one attractive. Or even the opposite. Some people just liked to stare. He didn't suppose, he could come up with an average sort of look now, could he? He had taken a look at himself before leaving, he didn't see himself not being able to go without staring. Or was he thinking too highly of himself.

Either way, he had to work. He couldn't stand in the back doing nothing. With that thought, he started work. Clocking in, then heading to the front. He had ti wait tables. He'd do that.

It was unexpected to be told, as soon as he had gotten to the bar, that someone had asked for him. He mentally hoped it was Jengo, but then he was aware he had some customers here that seemed fond of him. He hoped it wasn't any of them. And he found a great bit of relief, seeing it was who he was hoping for. Being able to see the table as soon as he started to approach.

"Hello you two." he spoke, as soon as he came up to the table. He was familiar with the both of them. He hoped that greeting was alright. Perhaps he should have been more professional about it. Just greeting them as he would everyone else. It was just hard to do that, the way he felt about Jengo. Well, he liked him. He couldn't just act like he was another person in the room.

"What can get for you?" This said, he was prepared to take the order. Brushing back a few strands of hair, as well as the bangs of his, that seemed to fall across his eyes. He wished he had stopped to close the vest he wore. He was feeling suddenly self-conscious. Just like he thought he would, around Jengo.

[phantasmalunar]

Jengo was rendered speechless for a few minutes as Masaya greeted them.

Keiru played around in his wallet. "Hey there," he said taking out a large amount then getting up. "My order is simply for you to sit with this guy, I've got to go get myself a human pillow for the night. Nice outfit, by the way."

Jengo frowned at Keiru finally snapping out of it before smiling at Masaya. "Hey, I've been wanting to see you."

[Kago]

Masaya was sure he felt his face redden a bit, the moment he was complimented by Keiru. "Thanks." He had been taken aback by the money he laid down. It seemed he had been serious. He was really ordering for him to sit here. Well, he didn't mind. He in fact, was happy to.

"I've been wanting to see you as well." Masaya managed a smile, as he seated himself at the table. He wondered if he should really accept payment for just sitting here with Jengo. Something he would do for free, but it wasn't like he could sit around at work and do nothing. He had to do his job. Which he supposed he technically was now, with him being paid.

"How's Lel?" Was that a bad way to open up the conversation. It wasn't like he didn't about anything else. It was just, he did care about the other males son. And hadn't seen him in awhile, so it seemed reasonable to ask. Or he at least hoped it was.

[phantasmalunar]

"Lel's fine. He badgered me about our date, actually. Wanted me to tell him how it went," Jengo laughed. "He's only eight, I'm afraid he'll end up like Keiru if he gets too interested in such things."

[Kago]

Masaya smiled as he heard about Lel. So the boy had been curious. Well, he imagined that was understandable, considering that this was his father he was dating. He would be curious to. But he didn't think he would become any sort of flirt because of it. Well, he himself wouldn't have.

"I can't really imagine, but I suppose." He didn't really know Keiru very well, so all the comparisons to him, were only compared to what he had heard about him. And what he had seen for himself.

"Did I tell you, I really did enjoy...the other day." Or rather night, he found himself looking down a bit, his silver hues on the table. He found himself suddenly at a loss towards what he could say. That seemed to only happen around Jengo. He couldn't say why.

[phantasmalunar]

"I'd love to hear it again, if you did," Jengo replied smiling. "I had a good time too." Jengo suddenly got the desire to have Masaya closer to him and reached an arm out on the back of the booth table Keiru had led him to. "You don't mind sitting close to me, would you?"
