Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

When Neuro had first dragged her kicking and clawing into the vicious world of pre-debut, Yako had thought she might understand what Hell was. the training regimen was brutal, and most of the would-be idols were either totally self-absorbed, or flat-out cutthroat. It was a merciless, dog-eat-dog process, and when she had finally been selected to make her debut, she thought that she had finally reached salvation. Then Neuro, who was apparently the president of the agency, not a simple agent or a recruiter, had made what seemed at the time to be a completely whimsical addendum: she would debut as part of an idol duo.

Over time, she realized this was not a matter of whimsy, but of ruthless sadism.

She had thought Sai was sweet and cute, when they first met. A bit childish, despite being older than her, but in an endearing, charming way. Of course, once the cameras stopped rolling and they were sent off to the large apartment they would have to share, the truth immediately surfaced. He wasn't sweet or gentle—he was spoiled, selfish, whimsical, cruel, and volatile in turns. He did have moments of gentleness, but she rarely saw them when they weren't around other people.

No, what Yako saw was the cold, hateful look in his eyes when the idol Eleven from NB Entertainment, their rival of sorts, gained any acclaim. She saw the tantrums, and the beatdowns he occasionally went out to give random punks just barely enough to keep their reputations squeaky clean. She saw the messiness, the meanness, the part of him—which was basically all of him—that never grew out of being a little boy who liked to pull ants apart, piece by piece.

She had gotten used to it over their time together, though. The violent whiplash between his sugary-sweet, affectionate persona when they were in the limelight as CHROMOSOME and his self-absorbed, sometimes outright idiotic sadism when they weren't somehow became commonplace for her.

Today was no different from any other, in it's own way. She was lounging on one of their large couches, surfing the internet while Sai was doing something that sounded suspiciously like stabbing the NB memorabilia their manager Ai, a retired idol herself, had bought at his request.

"Those better not be my kitchen knives," was all she had to say on the matter, before frowning at something on her screen. "Hey, Sai...did you know people 'ship' celebrities with each other?"

Edited (Sorry, had to edit in a small bit of ~secret character backstory~ detail for Sai) 2013-03-23 03:25 (UTC)

They were her kitchen knives. He'd never use anything else when something like that was so close at hand.

Honestly, the very first time he had been introduced to her, he had been disappointed. She seemed competent enough. But being "competent enough" was no where near the level he had been expecting. He had marched straight to Neuro after that meeting and told him in no uncertain terms that he Disapproved. Neuro's response had been a laugh and then that annoying thing he did that Sai absolutely hated where all of a sudden he would be close and there would be no where to run as he leaned in to whisper that his word was law.

He had gone and broken the arm of the first person who picked a fight with him in a dark alley after that.

But she had stayed and despite the tantrums and the occasional dish thrown in her direction...she had stayed and after a while thinking of new ways to torment her had stopped being for any reason other than wanting to see how she would react. And he had found himself thinking that he would get them to the top, even if it meant dragging her there with his strength alone.

"And?"

He gives the NB plush a brutal stab, pulling the knife down slowly so it cut into it lengthwise, cloth tearing and cotton stuffing leaking out.

She figured they were her knives. She'd have to ask Ai to buy another whetstone later on. It was nothing less than she expected, really, by this point.

"Apparently, our fans do it too." She wrinkled her nose as she came upon a photoshopped set of images. "Oh, what. It wasn't weird to see people thinking we have something going on, since you're so touchy for our image but...some of this is just weird. Like, you know how Neuro made me do that small role in the period drama Tierra starred in last fall? People ship the two of us. Not too weird...But there was this gala I had to go to alone because you kicked up a fuss, and I met the head of NB there. And I guess some people found photos, and are completely insane. Because they're shipping us."

She shuddered slightly. Sicks, who had been an international superstar for many years before founding his company, wasn't an unattractive man by any means. But he was old enough to be her father, and something in the way he looked at her, not unlike the way a hunter looked at a fox or the way a horse-breeder might look at a mare he wanted as stock, chilled her to the bone. Yako made a face at the images crafted by some deluded fan somewhere.

"Pretty weird, right?"

Satisfied that the plush was now ripped messily into two halves, he drops both it and the knife to the floor before he makes his way over to stand behind her. Almost out of habit, he rests his chin against her shoulder to peer at the computer screen, "You're rambling, Katsuragi Yako."

But shipping, huh. He reaches an arm over so he can scroll using the mouse. Never mind that she was probably using it.

"I'm disturbed." Yako rolls her eyes and cedes control of the mouse for the time being. She had learned early on that there was little to no use in trying to shake him off until he was good and ready. She cringes as another photo set comes up—Sasazuka is more like a big brother to her than anything. "I ramble when I'm disturbed. You know that."

"Do I?"

He continues scrolling, extremely unbothered even as his eyes scan comments that were mainly composed of hearts and the word 'kyaa'

"They really will ship just about anything, huh?"

"If you don't know that much after all the time we've spent together, I really misjudged your observation skills." Yako pulled a face at a few examples of the 'ugh why can't they just get MARRRIED' breed of commentary.

"Yeah...They have these weird theories too. Like, according to some of them, we're secretly married. Or secretly siblings. Or both. It's so weird."

He notices the face she pulls at the commentary (kind of hard not to notice when his face was right next to hers) and smiles to himself imaging the kind of face Neuro would make if they really were secretly married, "I can't do anything about the siblings thing, but we could get married if you wanted, you know?"

"No," Yako corrects slowly, turning to eye him a bit strangely. "No, I don't think we could. Unless we wanted Neuro to murder us in our sleep. I have a list of reasons why I don't try to go on date anymore, and he factors into at least half of them." Sai factors into roughly ninety percent of her reasons, but she finds herself going along with his flight of fancy for a moment. "Us being married would be..." ...not very different from how they are now, really. "You don't want to marry me anyways, so the point's moot."

"I'm easy to convince."

Especially when Neuro getting angry enough to try to murder them in their sleep was a possibility. He tilts his head so it rests against hers, his hand leaving the mouse to gently trace a line from her chin to her mouth, "Besides, you didn't say you didn't want to just now."

"When you ask a girl to marry you, she shouldn't have to convince you," Yako sighs tiredly, willing down the blush that gentle, careless touch evoked. She succeeds, mostly, but has to turn her attention back to the screen if she wants to maintain that composure. "This isn't the sort of thing you just decide on a whim, Sai."

...ignoring the fact that their fellow celebrities seem to do exactly that quite frequently.

"Hm~"

The blush is all the convincing he needs as he wraps his arms around her shoulders with a quiet laugh, "Then, if I proposed properly...?"

She puffs her cheeks out in a pout and gives a token squirm of resistance. "...I don't like this game. You should go back to tearing up the competition with my knives." And not tempt her into saying things that could potentially ruin their dynamic.

"Unfortunately, I can't tear them up with your knives. That would be murder."

He gives her cheeks a poke, because murder would only help their competition. Not to mention how bad it would be for their cutesy image.

"And I happen to be having a lot of fun with this game."

"Oh, you know what I meant." She sticks her tongue out at him briefly, because it's impossible to live with Sai for any amount of time and not get infected with some of his immaturity. "And even if it's just a joke, marriage is...it's important, you know? It's not something I'd want to do just to make some fans freak out or incite Neuro to manslaughter."

He smiles at her, only partly joking as he asks, "Then what would I have to do to make you want to marry me?"

And help him incite Neuro to manslaughter.

Ask and mean it sincerely. she thinks, but knows better than to say. Directly telling him that she'd seriously consider it is not a wise move, in any playbook.

"Dunno. Convince me you'd actually be fun to have as a husband, I guess."

"Fun...? Hm."

Sai makes a big show of thinking about it, mimicking Yako's expression from earlier as he puffs out his cheeks when he finally asks, so very innocently, "And what exactly do you mean by fun, Yako-chan?"

He brushes the back of his fingers against her cheek, affectionately, as he smiles at her.

"Er."

Yako, for a long beat, knows exactly how an inexperienced gunman might feel after shooting themselves in the foot, before the pain hits. "Um...good at doing...married things...I guess?" It comes out cautious, as if she feels the words might spell her downfall if she's not careful.

Which they just might, honestly. But it's a little hard to think, with him draped over her and still finding new ways to invade her personal bubble.

"You've got to be more specific than that, Yako-chan. Because-"

He lets his fingers trail from her cheek to her neck, running his thumb along her collarbone.

"-'married things' could really be anything, couldn't it?"

A strangled, alarmed noise comes out of her throat, as if his fingers were wrapped firmly around it, instead of cupped tenderly. She might be less alarmed if he was trying to throttle her instead. He can feel the way her pulse is racing now, even as she tries to look calm and composed.

"R...Right. Um...well, I guess being in love is a big part of it..."

The sound brings a smile to his face as he presses a kiss against the side of her head,

"And you don't think I love you? You're hurting my feelings, Yako-chan."

She feels more and more out of her depth with the situation. She can count the number of times he's acted like this outside of the public eye on her hands and still have fingers left over.

"I said in love, not loving someone like a pet."

In his defense, he only ever acted like this towards her. (Probably because doing this to Neuro really would end in manslaughter.)

"Then tell me what you mean by 'being in love', Yako-chan."
