sole_choiceDream effect: Exhilaration of performing and some dokidoki action and confused feelings following. (The only effect from the moon cycle though is the glitter and his adrenaline/physical state of the dream transferring to his waking self)
Notes/Warnings: Attempted filters from all of the Vongola and from Byakuran, but they were haphazardly put up by a rather frantic Shouichi, so if you wish, they can have failed!It's more fun that way >D Also, blame Byakuran for this one, totally and utterly. (Dream inspired continuation of this one.)

Shouichi squinted behind his glasses against the bright spotlights as his heart began to pound. The small bar was fairly crowded which was an exhilarating thing to see and hear as Byakuran called out to them and they yelled back.
His fingers strummed the first bar of the music with an ease that only came with practice, setting up the melody for Byakuran's vocals. Neither of them were at a professional level or anything, Shouichi knew that, but he couldn't help feeling like a real rock star up there.
By the end of their set, he was sweating and his stomach was doing back-flips from the nerves, but he was grinning back at the Cheshire cat smile Byakuran was throwing him as they headed back stage again. Every part of him seemed to be thrumming with the music and the applause and adrenaline. When Byakuran threw his arms around him, laughing breathlessly, Shouichi moved before his usually over-active brain could catch up and pressed his lips to the other man's. Lavender eyes flew open wide and a moment later, green ones did too as he realized what he was doing and he jerked away, face on fire. Wh-What was he doing?! THAT WAS HIS BEST FRIEND! And he'd just...! Why had he just done that?! He didn't feel th-that way! Did he? No, no, he didn't (he was fairly sure)!
The sound of the crowd as they began to call for an encore seemed to fade into the background as he stumbled over words of apology and an explanation that he was caught up in the moment. But he was silenced by a pale finger to his lips and a wink, the surprise gone from the other's face. "Let's give them what they want, Shou-chan, and afterward, we'll see what we can do about you, mm~?"
The world spun a bit with the heat that flooded to Shouichi's face anew and Byakuran had to grab him around the wrist and tug him back onstage to a roar of approval. Everything felt like it was a blur as he was prompted for a baseline and his fingers somehow still moved.
As they played out their last song of the encore, he was finally regaining his senses and risked a glance up from his fingers as they played to catch Byakuran's gaze. The look he received back as the man continued to sing along made his face turn crimson again, right there on stage. Hooded eyes, a hand outstretched toward him, a sly smile curling on his lips.......
****
*And Shouichi actually flailed himself out of his bed upon waking, hitting the ground with a loud and painful thud. The Dreamberry remained up on his nightstand, broadcasting the ceiling and the sound of his breathing hard from the ground and out of sight*
Wh-What the... what was that brain?! Nnng....ugh.
*Then there was a sharp gasp of surprise as he suddenly realized about the phone and he scrambled up onto his knees to grab at it and the video swung wildly before focusing on him as he stared into it wide-eyed and without his glasses, t-shirt clinging to him a little with sweat and was he? -- it almost looked like he was covered in glitter as well. He then reached out blindly for his glasses and slipped them on crookedly just to inspect the phone and upon seeing it was on and broadcasting, there was a strangled distraught noise before he shut the feed off hastily. He then began desperately attempting to put some filters in place from of course Byakuran and even more so the Vongola. He didn't want them to get the wrong idea! It was just a stupid dream! This was all Byakuran's fault. ALL OF IT.*

Date: 2010-06-28 04:00 pm (UTC)ohoho invading your room
Date: 2010-06-28 05:47 pm (UTC)*There was Byakuran at his door, tired and rubbing one of his eyes. Apparently hearing him fall out of bed woke him up and he was concerned enough to come check on him! Shuffling on over he frowned lightly at his friend.*
Are you okay? You--eh? Why are you all sparkly?
He's a bastard even unintentionally!
Date: 2010-06-28 05:59 pm (UTC)Sparkly..? He glanced down at himself to see he was indeed sparkling rather ridiculously in the dim light from the hallway How the--?
Always for Shou-chan
Date: 2010-06-28 06:05 pm (UTC)*He knelt beside Shouichi and reached out to poke him, getting glitter on his finger. Hummed lightly, turning his finger this way and that so it sparkled faintly in the small amount of light filtering into the room.*
It's cute. Is this some fetish I don't know about?
Aww~ But that takes talent ya know!
Date: 2010-06-28 06:14 pm (UTC)*Sure in the dream he'd had it thrown on him or something, but... that was JUST a dream!*
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 06:16 pm (UTC)*Yaaaawned again and leaned forward against Shouichi, not caring if he got any glitter on himself.* Sleepy...

Date: 2010-06-28 07:34 pm (UTC)*At least he seemed too tired to seize on teasing him...*

Date: 2010-06-28 08:27 pm (UTC)*Another dramatic yaaaaaaawn before he got up and crawled into Shouichi's bed. It was warm and closer than his own.*
Come on.

Date: 2010-06-28 08:49 pm (UTC)Fine. I'll just stay up... I don't want to go back to sleep anyway. *He stood abruptly, shedding glitter all over the floor, fully intending to march off to the shower to get rid of the stuff*

Date: 2010-06-28 09:13 pm (UTC)Do you really despise me, so...?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 11:39 pm (UTC)But you can learn a lot about a person from their dreams. It's a glimpse into their subconscious, or haven't you read Freud?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-29 04:25 am (UTC)It... Byakuran-san, it isn't that. I just... I don't despise you. If I despised you, I wouldn't think of you as my best friend, would I? Or be living here with you.
*The dream was still fresh in his mind and even if you ignored the weird thing in the middle, the feeling of being up there on stage with Byakuran, just both loving what they were doing and doing it together was something he really missed...*
Byakuran-san, listen. Even.... Even if we don't agree on something, I won't ever despise the co-creator of Choice.
*I just wish that I could believe you were still that person underneath it all...*

Date: 2010-06-29 04:33 am (UTC)*Byakuran went silent for a moment. That wasn't the reaction he'd expected. This felt a lot nicer than he'd expected, too. Gently, he caressed Shouichi's sides before pulling away. For once he could find words. Turning slowly, he left, going back toward his own room.
He wasn't sure how to respond to that. Taunt him? Just laugh at him? Or answer him seriously? Which was more fun..? He wasn't sure. It made his head hurt, there was too much going on in there for him to focus. So going to sit in Shouichi's bed was apparently the best thing to do for now.*

Date: 2010-06-29 05:01 am (UTC)He sighed heavily and leaned against the bathroom doorframe, sagging against it as he ran a shaky hand through his hair.
But now they were in this place and the plans were thrown all askew (along with the timelines of the various people from their world and that just gave him an even bigger headache). So... what did he do here and now? He just didn't.... know... what he should.......... do....
And with so many things swirling about in that brain of his and with the adrenaline ebbing away, he started to doze off again, right there in the doorway*

Date: 2010-06-29 05:11 am (UTC)He shook his head and made his way over, reaching out to run his fingers briefly through Shouichi's hair then cup his cheek. Quietly, he spoke, though he knew Shouichi probably wouldn't be able to hear him.*
Let's see what we can do about you, mm?
