Jun opened the door to the small karaoke booth they'd rented and stepped inside. The smell of smoke and beer lingered from previous sessions but the place was otherwise clean. He liked this place the best since they actually made an effort, others he'd been to left spilled beer around, he'd even found a suspect looking stain on one of the fabric upholstered benches. The memory made him shudder, at least the seats in here were leather, wipe clean. Not that he was planning to do anything like that at all, but it was nice to know that he wouldn't be sitting on some guys jizz stain.
He walked into the room, his stomach twisting with nerves at the prospect of spending time with an idol, even though he sung himself, and was pretty famous, no-one actually knew it was him. In a way that made it a little harder, he supposed, since people would talk about RAIN when he was around, even the bad things and put-downs, and of course he always had to try and change the subject and pretend he didn't like the guy. He still didn't know how he'd managed to get Nishi to agree to come along. But if things went well he'd have a friend at least.
He slumped into a seated position on one of the benches and put his sneaker covered feet up on the low table, his legs were clad in tight black jeans and his upper body a fitted white t-shirt with something scrawled across the front in red graffiti style letters. He pulled out his cigarettes from his pocket and glanced over to Nishi. “Oi... you don't mind if I smoke, right? And do you wanna get some beer in? Unless you don't drink...”

Nishi had always liked going to karaoke, since he was free to sing whatever he wanted instead of singing the same songs over and over for a recording. He was smiling when they walked in the door, offering a nod to Jun's question. "I don't mind," he said, walking inside and sitting across from the other boy. "An' I'm off tomorrow, so beer sounds great."
This didn't seem like the kind of place that worried about their customer's age if they got paid well enough. When they'd arrived, he'd been wearing a cap and a pair of sunglasses, but Nishi removed them as they walked into the more secluded area. He didn't usually wear them unless he was with someone, since he thought it rude to be bogged down by autographs or whatever else.
"I'm starving, too, so some food would be great, too..." he said, looking around. He picked up the song book from the table between them, starting to flip through it. He didn't feel like singing any of his songs unless it was requested, but he wasn't even sure if Jun was a fan of his...If he was, he'd be embarrassed but would gladly sing one of his own if he wanted.
For that matter, he was a little confused as to why he was invited but the prospect of hanging out with someone he didn't know had sounded interesting.

Jun pulled one of the black cigarettes out of his pack and placed it between his lips when the other youth said it was ok if he did. The fact that he wanted beer too was a good thing. “Ok.” He stood up and walked over to the small phone in next tot he door, picking it up and placing it next to his ear, holding it in place by tilting his head and pulling his shoulder up while he used both hands to light his cigarette.
“Hey, can we get hnn... eight beers... No not that one, get Asahi. Send in a snack platter as well, no... a large. Yeah that's all. Thanks.” He put the phone back down after the order had been placed, it wouldn't be long at all before the things were bought to them. Jun flopped back down, next to Nishi this time though he kept his distance, a bit embarrassed. “Do you wanna sing first? I'll be honest I'm completely embarrassed, even though I was the one who asked you...” He wondered if he'd seemed odd to the other boy, but then again Nishi probably got asked to hang out all the time.
Jun pulle dhis cig from between his lips and blew the smoke out into the room, head turned away from the other youth so he didn't breathe any into his face. He knew, all too well, that people who used their voices should be exposed to smoke, but despite that he still did it, and it probably contributed to his low husky tone. “Hey, sing Britney Spears! Haha.” He laughed loudly at that. At least he was trying to break the ice a bit, what better way than to be stupid together? Even if it would feel humiliating. “If you do it I will too.”

It was an actual fact (that Nishi kept to himself) that he didn't like hanging out with girls. 80% of the time, they were the ones asking him to do stuff after school. Most of them had stars in their eyes, of course, or wanted autographs or whatever...He didn't like the superficiality of it and tried his best to avoid going out with girls like that. Paparazzi that ragged on his company would love that, too, to find him dragged into a kiss by a girl.
The other 20% were guys who wanted him to come to goukans or whatever, to charm the girls into coming. He'd gone to a few before he gave them up (a reporter had stalked him to one) and it consistently annoyed him. But he'd done it with a smile, nonetheless. In the end, he'd usually use work as an excuse.
"Ah, okay," he said, looking down the list at the Britney Spears songs. Picking one, he stood up and walked to the microphone. He input a little number into a computer so it would recognize the song he was singing, put up the instrumental version on the speakers, and show the display of lyrics on the little screen. Waiting for the system to recognize it, he ran over the song in his head. Nishi wasn't embarrassed by it, he knew the song of course and even the lyrics.
"Oh, before I forget...I heard someone else call you Miroppi, can I call you that too~?" He asked giving a wide, charming smile. "An' you can call me Nishi...or Nii-chan, if you want."

"Just.. What am I doing here..?"
Sai looked up to the towering karaoke building in front of him. One place that he will never visit unless there's a very good reason to be there. And he's got one. It was an invitation from someone who's on his black list, Mironov Junji. He sighed when he finally decided to enter the building. After inquiring where Junji's booth is, the attendant took him there, and without wasting time, he entered. And he's late.
He opened the door slowly and found Junji inside, with someone he doesn't know, "Sorry I'm late."

He smiled as Nishi agreed to sing Britney, at least he wasn't stuck up or moody. He sat back in a relaxed way, sucking on his black cancer-stick again as he tilted his head and watched the other youth pick his song and wait for it to start. “Miroppi... hn, yeah sure. Since I hope we become friends.” He squinted his eyes slightly. “But if we become mortal enemies you'll have to call me Oujisama!” He kept the straight face for a split second before his lips twitched and he cracked a grin. “I'm only joking.”
Just before the song started playing the door opened and he turned to look, half thinking it was the food and beer arriving. “Aah! Kuropii!” He said, easily giving the other youth a nick-name similar to his own, he didn't know if it would make the other teen irritable or not, but his reactions were sure to be funny.
Just then there was a knock on the door and he shot up, moving over to it and brushing past Sai as he took the snacks and the eight cans of Asahi beer from the waitress. “Thanks~!” He closed the door with his hip and placed the food and drink down on the table, snuffing out his cigarette in one of the ash trays before picking up a beer and opening it with a pop. “Sit down Kuropii! Nii-chan was just about to sing.” He sat and patted the bench next to him with a grin.

"Ku..." Sai's face immediately contorted to show his unpleasant feeling towards the new nickname.
Kuroppi..? What kind of ridiculous person called someone Kuroppi?
Sadly Sai had to keep his complaint inside. He just strode down to an empty couch and sit like he's having a job interview. From one glance he knew that he won't like hanging out with a bunch of... rulebreakers.

Nii-chan smiled as Jun agreed to the nickname. He didn't plan on being enemies with anyone, so it all seemed like it'd work out pretty well. He looked up in time for Sai to come into the room, grinning and waving over at him. He also watched the beer and food pile into the room and he licked his lips just as the song started.
"Ne, Britney Spears-san's song~" He said cheerfully, waiting as the vocal section began. Then, he started singing a pretty good version of her ...Baby One More Time, cracking up whenever he got a chance.
He hardly ever got a chance to sing a song for fun instead of seriously anymore, so it was a great opportunity.

Upon hearing how Nishi sings Baby One More Time, he just couldn't keep his annoyed face stays up for long. But he still tries to. Stealing some time to glance away and laugh, he managed to keep a little bit of that, although now maybe his face doesn't look as stern as before.

Jun just smirked and rolled his shoulders to relax himself a little bit more. Now that Sai was here everything seemed a little less... date-like. He heard the song start and he couldn't help but crack up about the same times that Nishi did, it was just so funny to have a guy singing a song like that, which was usually reserved for the girls. He chugged on his beer like it was water – which he probably shouldn't have been doing because despite any tough talk he really couldn't handle his alcohol that well.
Junji tapped his foot along to the well known beat and shoved a can of beer towards Sai. “Go on drink! Don't be so up-tight!” He dropped the can in Sai's lap and scooped up a handful of salted peanuts from the tray of food items, shoving them in his mouth without any finesse... after all... he was a guy, and a high school student at that, why the hell should he care about manners around other guys his own age?

The song finished in what seemed like forever and Nishi stepped from the mini stage. He strode right over to Sai and extended a hand, kneeling and taking the other boy's. "Pleased to meet you, I'm Akagi Nishi. Call me Nii-chan..." He said sweetly, "Kuroppi, was it?"
But he couldn't hold it for long and was cracking up once again. "Sorry, sorry~" He said, leaning up. "Oi, y'better sing something Britney for me now, Miroppi...I'll sit here with Kuroppi~"
He did so, taking a beer and opening it, leaning back as he took a long drink.

The cheerful face on Sai disappeared as quick as it came when Jun offered him a can of beer, he just couldn't bring himself to drink that. He tried once, and he doesn't like it. Maybe it runs in the family. No one likes to drink beer when it comes to alcohol, but for wine or sake, they just might.
"I don't drink beer. But thanks for the offer." He took the canned beer and put them back on the table, afraid that he might sit on it and created something silly to laugh on. He couldn't afford getting laughed by them. He sighed. He kind of felt out of place there.
The other youngster offered his introduction, which he remembers quite easily. But what he said next just annoyed the hell of him.
Why that nickname...
"Kuroki Sai." He corrected the nickname while shaking Nishi's hand firmly, trying to get his point that he doesn't like being called with that name. He shifted to the side a little when Nishi said he's going to sit beside him, keeping a good distance from him.

Jun clapped and whistled when Nishi got down from the stage. “Sang like a true Britney!” He laughed out loud after his comment and finished off his beer, scrunching the can in his hand before dropping it to the table and steppin onto the stage himself. His face turned a slight shade of red and his guy wrenched with nerves again. Would the figure it out? That he was RAIN? But if he was singing Britney then maybe not... he'd just try to sing badly, which was a lot harder than it seemed.
“You should relax a bit Kuroppi. Have some snacks, if you don't like beer just order something else, no-one cares that we're underage.” He spoke while he flipped through the Britney songs on screen, settling for Crazy. He coughed because he was trying to hold back his laughter. “You guys better appreciate this!” He grinned as the music started playing and he shifted his feet, singing easily when the lyrics started. He tried his best not to bust out his dance moves at the same time. Even though he never appeared in person his music videos used his body as a movement base for the animated character RAIN, so he needed to know how to dance. Plus he loved to do it.

The comment that Jun gave about his impression was pretty hilarious so he couldn't help another burst of laughter. Nishi looked over at Sai as soon as he started to scoot and concern filled his brain. "Aw, I'm sorry. I was just kidding~" He turned toward him, "Kuroki-kun? Or should I call you Sai-kun?"
Jun's song started, so he had to turn to watch with a big grin on his face. He had to pick up some food, too, leaning back to enjoy and sipping from his beer. His ears, attuned to different kinds of music, picked up something familiar...he thought to himself, studying Jun and smilling.
He cheered and whooped, catcalls and the like~

"Anything as long as it's not Kuroppi.." He made sure that that Kuroppi nickname doesn't stick to anyone else, he can handle it if only Junji calling him that, "Pleasure to meet you too, Akagi-san." Sai picked some snack from the table, since beer is not something that he can have for a drink, and he felt like having something. Maybe he should've ordered something else like Jun said. But then his song started before he could do so.
He thought that his singing is pretty alright, he only doesn't like the song. He seems to not aware of the fact behind Jun. Lucky thing for Jun, that Sai's ear is only tuned to most classical instrumental and orchestra. But for some reason he felt like he ever listened to his singing somewhere, he doesn't care to dabble deeper on that matter. He silently enjoyed the singing from his couch.
