PRETENDING
It’s not easy being perfect. Being told you are glorious, witty, charming. It really is hard being the biggest actor known to man.
He lit up a cigarette and inhaled as his chauffeur drove him to his latest photo shoot. He did it all for the fans. His cell phone rang playing the single from his latest movie.
“Moshi Moshi?”
--“Are you on the way?”--
“Hai hai. I’m in the car right now. What up?”
--“I just wanted to tell you that we got your new movie deal. It seems your co-star is going to be the famous “Vivi Hime”.”--
“Princess Vivi? America’s sweet-heart?”
--“The one and only. Now, it’s going to be a bit of a romance film, if you can handle it.”--
“Sweety, it’s me! I can handle anything. I thought you’d know me better.”
--“Sorry, baby. Now I’ll see you in a few minutes. We still on for lunch at Dino’s?”--
“You know it. Ciao, sweety.”
--“Ciao, Usopp baby.”--
------
Luffy squirmed against the seat belt holding him against the leather interior of the car. All the new sensations were getting to be too much for him.
Riding in a car.
Being surrounded by people.
Being in a city.
Wearing CLOTHES.
He jumped slightly when he felt a hand on his own.
“How do you like it so far, darling?”
He wasn’t sure how to answer. Just being surrounded by the noise of the city was enough. He felt constricted, as though all the sounds had wrapped their arms around him and were trying to drown him.
Not to mention he felt bound by his new apparel. From what he had been told, the pants he was wearing were apparently called “pleather”. He didn’t like them. They were really warm and stuck to him like a second skin. That and every time he made the slightest movement they squeaked like a dolphin. (1) He didn’t mind the baggy t-shirt he had been provided. It was light and airy which was to his liking.
“It’s……interesting.”
He cringed mentally as Kuro chuckled. Even though he couldn’t see, he shifted his eyes away. Luffy started when his master unbuckled his safety-belt and pulled his head onto his lap.
“Don’t worry, Kitten. First times in a city are always scary.”
“It’s..not just..that, Master. It’s these……” Luffy stopped for a moment. If his master thought that he didn’t appreciate the clothes he might get angry. And if he got angry….Luffy mentally shuddered.
“It’s the clothes isn’t it?”
Luffy didn’t respond except for a small nod. Kuro chuckled and ran his hands through the younger boy’s brunette locks. He leaned over to whisper in Luffy’s ear.
“Do you enjoy being naked around me that much?”
Luffy bit his lip, feeling the heat rise into face.
“I’m….just not used to it…”
Kuro nodded to himself.
“You’ve never worn clothes since you were a child so the feeling is too old to remember.”
“Yes, sir.”
He ran a hand through his hair again, absently staring out the tinted window. He smiled at Luffy started when the car came to an abrupt halt.
{Kawaii.}
“Get up, my love. We’re here.”
“Here?”
Kuro grinned.
“Our hotel. Where we’ll be staying.”
Bringing his hands under the small brunette’s shoulders he lifted him up into a sitting position. Waiting for the chauffeur to open the door he brushed off the younger’s shirt. Stepping out of the opened door, he gently took Luffy’s hand and led him out into the chilly evening wind.
Luffy shivered as a gust of cold air hit him. Kuro smiled sweetly at him, taking off his long wool coat he wrapped the article of clothing around his young protégé.
“We wouldn’t want you catching cold, now would we?”
Luffy shook his his.
“No, sir.”
The hotel was huge. Walking into the foyer, one would think it was more a palace then a hotel. Crimson rugs, silver adorned mirrors, a gold and crystal chandelier.
Kuro raised an eyebrow. Photographers were bustling in and out of one of the conference rooms. There were make-up artists and men talking on cell phones and basically people looking busy.
“What’s wrong, sir?”
He looked down to his young companion.
{He always seems to know when something is wrong. What a dear.}
“I’m sorry, sweetest. It just seems that there’s a lot of excitement going on.”
Unfortunetly, he didn’t spot the paparazzi.
“LOOK! LOOK! It’s Klahadore N. Kuro! President of Kuro-Neko Enterprises!!”
{Shit.}
“Sir?!”
“It’s alright, Luffy.”
The sounds of snapping camera’s were new to him. It seemed as though there were people crowding around him, trying to asphyxiate him.
“Kuro-San! Kuro-San! What brings you to St. Paul?!”
“Kuro-San! Anything to say about your new project?!”
“Kuro-San! Who is the young man with you?! He’s very attractive!”
At the last remake, he tightened his hold on Luffy, scowling. Quickly he smiled sweetly.
“I would like to introduce to you my younger brother.”
“Kuro-san?! I thought it was true that you were an orphen?!”
He continued with his façade once again.
“It is true that I am an orphen, but last year I got a call telling me that I have a younger brother. I have taken him in and he is now my own responsibility.”
“Can we get his name, Kuro-san?!”
“This is Luffy. You must forgive him, but he is quite sheltered and he is blind. He’s not too comfortable with all this attention.”
He looked down at the boy in his arms, calculating the awkwardness of the situation.
“Say hello, Luffy.”
Slowly, Luffy nodded his head toward the sound of the cameras.
“Konnichiwa. Hajime Mashite.”
-----
“What’s going on out there?! We’re trying to work!”
“I’m sorry, sir! But Klahadore N. Kuro is here!”
Flicking off his sunglasses, Usopp looked up. Klahadore did they say?
“Did you just say Klahadore N. Kuro?!”
The stage make-up artist nodded.
“Yes! The head of Kuro-Neko enterprises!”
The brunette dropped off his heavy over shirt needed for the shooting and ran out before anyone could stop him. There in the lobby was Klahadore just as they had said.
“KLAHADORE!”
He quickly turned at the voice. A grin spread out on his face as he pushed passed the photographers, reaching his destination. Letting go of Luffy for a moment he wrapped his arms around the olive skinned man.
“Usopp! It’s been quite a long time!”
“Hasn’t it?! Have you talked to Kuina lately?”
“No, no I haven’t! It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other, old friend!”
“Kuro-San! Usopp-san! What is your relationship to one another?!”
Where am I?! As soon as Luffy had lost grip with Kuro he seemed to loose all sight of where he was. That and when the paparazzi came he seemed to be shoved all out of proportion. He felt like he was in a wave of bodies, not knowing where he was going until his face his the floor. He was afraid he was going to be trampled. He had heard of people being trampled by elephants and it almost felt like the same was going to happen to him.
“MOVE!”
He felt the bodies part away from him and flinched when an unfamiliar hand fell on his shoulder.
“Are you alright?”
He looked to where the voice was coming from a heard a strangled gasp.
“Klahadore? Who is this?”
“This is my little brother.”
“But you’re an ophen!”
“I found out I had a brother.”
Luffy looked back and forth between the voices. Who was this guy? How did he know his master? Relief spread over him as he felt his master’s hands on him, helping him to his feet.
“Usopp, this is Luffy. Luffy, this is an old friend of mine. We grew up in the same neighborhood. Say hello.”
He inclined his head politely.
“Konnichiwa. Hajime Mashite.”
Usopp chuckled.
“Just like it for you brother to be adorable.”
“Isn’t he though?”
“Is he…y’know….blind?”
“Unfortunately. He had an accident when he was younger.”
{You could say that again.}
Kuro frowned. He could see the wheels in Usopp’s head turning and he knew it had to due with his young lover.
“He is really really cute. Maybe we could use him in a photo shoot?”
Kuro mentally frowned. He disliked the idea of people gawking at his lovely boy.
“Maybe later. But we’ve just gotten off a long flight and we’re both very tired. Would you like to join us for dinner tonight?”
“That would be wonderful! How about seven-ish?”
“Excellent. We’ll see you then.”
The whole thing seemed to flash by too fast for Luffy. First he was on the floor and then on his feet and now he was being hauled up to the room, avoiding the rush of paparazzi. And before he knew it we was laying on a big soft bed that he just seemed to sink into.
He felt a kiss to his temple and the sound of clothes being removed caught his ears.
“Don’t worry love. No fun until tonight. Unless you really really want it?”
He chuckled when Luffy let out a yawn. He pulled off Luffy’s pleather pants and chuckled once again when he sighed when a rush of cold air hit his once restricted skin. He placed another kiss to his temple as the younger fell asleep. He smiled soon turned into a malicious grin.
“Tonight love. Tonight will be a night you wont forget.”
----------
“Tonight,” said Shanks, to the ones sitting around his table.
Nami, Smoker, Zoro, Sanji and Crocodile sat around the table waiting expectantly for what he had to say. Seeing Ben out of the corner of his eye, bringing a large manila envelope.
“Tonight will be a night you wont forget.”
