Summary: New couple Ruki and Uruha can't resist stolen moments and kisses during a break in filming Cassis. 
Author's Comment: My last minute entry for the vkyaoi challenge. I got the first half written a couple weeks ago, got slammed by writer's block, then finally got it done tonight. The GazettE was the first visual kei band I fell in love with. My then best friend got me into them and also had me shipping Ruki/Uruha because she adored their height difference and was happy to ply me with fanart in return for fanfiction. I chose Cassis because it was the first GazettE song I really got into. I can't recall if it was the first of their songs I ever heard, but it's the first one I recall loving.

Filming of Cassis had paused so the band and crew could take a lunch break. Ruki had eaten quickly so he’d have some time to explore the beautiful Austrian castle that was the setting for their newest PV. He picked up his phone to check the time. Good. There were still thirty minutes until the break ended. He could take a short walk and let the castle inspire him.

 

“Where are you going?” Uruha asked.

 

“Exploring.” Ruki glanced over his shoulder at his, he hoped, secret boyfriend. Lover. Their relationship was still so new. Too new for either of them to be comfortable sharing it with their band mates yet. “Want to join me?” He made the question sound casual rather than inviting. Kai was already a little suspicious about how they were suddenly so close. 

 

Uruha rose gracefully from his chair. “Sure. We’ll be back before the break’s over,” he promised Kai when their leader opened his mouth. 

 

Ruki couldn’t help but snort when Aoi rolled his eyes. “Better make it twenty. You know how distracted you can get. Ruki, make sure he doesn’t fall into the dungeon.”

 

Uruha huffed. “I should lock you in it if you keep teasing me.” 

 

Aoi’s smile was pure wickedness. “Be sure to take a picture. The fans would love to see me in chains.” 

 

Reita burst out laughing. “They’d drool all over their keyboards after seeing that.” 

 

“Then you can lock him up and take his picture.” Uruha raised his hand in a lazy wave and left the room with promises to be back early. Ruki admired his ass as he followed him out into the corridor with an additional vow to return on time. Out in the corridor, Uruha glanced over his shoulder at him in a come hither look. “Where do you want to explore?”

 

Your legs, Ruki thought. “Not the dungeons. We’ll save those for Aoi,” he replied. He considered the tour they’d taken through the castle yesterday. “The library?” It had shelves upon shelves of old books, windows for admiring the beautiful countryside, and plenty of nooks and spaces to secretly make out with a lover in. He watched Uruha give him a sly smile and knew that he too had the same idea. As they walked it was easy to picture lords and ladies sweeping down the halls or up and down the staircases in their elaborate capes and gowns. 

 

As if sensing Ruki’s thoughts, Uruha paused by the staircase leading down into the lower levels of the castle. “Can you imagine trying to navigate these steps wearing all those skirts? It’s a wonder none of these ladies broke their necks.”

 

Ruki made a face. “Or died of heatstroke in the summer.” He wondered if there were any spirits in the castle and if so what they thought of a group of Japanese musicians in elaborate costumes and makeup. If a ghost could faint, they probably would have had Uruha worn thigh flaunting shorts for this PV. Ruki was both relieved and disappointed that he hadn’t. This was their first filming as a couple. Having Uruha walking around in tiny shorts would have been far too much temptation for him to resist. 

 

“Twenty minutes,” Uruha told him once they reached the library. Kai may have the sweet smile of an angel, but interfere with his scheduling and he could quickly become a devil. Neither man wanted suspicion to fall on their shoulders for delaying too long. 

 

Ruki stepped closer to Uruha. “More than enough time for me to kiss you and for us to explore a little more.” He pressed his hand to Uruha’s chest and backed him up into an alcove that would hide them from prying eyes in case their band mates happened to venture into the same room. If it was Aoi who caught them making out, they would have to threaten him with the dungeon to keep him quiet. Ruki pushed the thought aside. He was with Uruha now. The center of his attention. 

 

When it came to kissing Uruha, Ruki’s height was always a pain. He had to stand up on tiptoe to get the angle right or Uruha had to lean down like he was some kind of hunchback. Appropriate if Cassis was filmed in, say, Notre Dame rather than Riegersburg Castle. It didn’t stop Ruki from pushing Uruha against the wall and kissing him thoroughly. Like their relationship, this was also new for him. For them. After long weeks of fantasizing about kissing those perfect, pouty lips and running his hands along Uruha’s smooth thighs outside of moments of fan service he could finally do so. Would be doing exactly that at the hotel later tonight. 

 

Uruha broke the kiss when he needed to catch his breath. “Think the Austrian nobles had any secret affairs here?” he breathed. His fingers curled into Ruki’s jacket as he stole another kiss. They had to be careful not to mess up each other’s hair or clothing or make it too obvious that they’d been making out during their so-called walk. 

 

Conscious of that fact, Ruki tipped his head so Uruha’s lips slid down over his jaw and neck. “Definitely.” He ran his hands down Uruha’s chest, over his hips, and along his thighs as Uruha tugged his collar lower to playfully scrape his teeth over his collar bone. Ruki shivered against him. Too much and it would be far too easy to lose himself in Uruha and lose track of the time. 

 

They couldn’t risk that yet. 

 

*   *   *

 

Aoi lowered his water as he looked down the hall. “Who wants to bet they’re making out somewhere?”

 

Reita snorted. “No one needs to bet. It’s obvious.”

 

“It is cute how they think they’re so sneaky and subtle,” Kai giggled. Did Ruki and Uruha think they were blind? The longing looks, Ruki’s fanservice with Uruha growing a little more intense with each live, how they’d practically been in each other’s laps on the plane… 

 

“Wonder when they’ll tell us?” Aoi mused. 

 

“Now that we could bet on.”

Aww, that's so cute! Chibi-sama and Uru-chan thinking they're being so clever, but everyone already knows. I bet the couple will be disappointed when they finally do get around to telling everyone, and their reactions are like "yeah, so?" ^_^

Thanks for participating in the challenge!!

Having the others already know was a last minute addition. I thought it'd be funny if the clever couple's little reveal was foiled early. Oh they will be disappointed, but also relieved that their band mates are already accepting of their relationship.

Thanks for hosting it!

This is really cute. I love to pair Uruha and Ruki, I think they're a great match. Especially if you want a couple who don't always play by the rules.

Thank you :) I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed pairing these two up. They are an excellent match and yes, very true. Besides playing by the rules is boring.
