I sat at a long black table with my band mates as we went over the auditions. Some guys came in and sounded absolutely horrible and others came in and sounded okay but I was looking for someone with spunk who can rock the world and shake the ground. After seeing about thirty people already, I was on the verge of giving up when a guy walked in with his guitar. I looked him over. He seemed pretty cute. Our boy band pretty much consists of cute guys anyways.
"Show us what you've got!" I shouted.
The boy smiled then started to play and I felt my heart drop. That sound was absolutely amazing. That riff is beyond anything I've heard before. The number drop is...is...I think I love him. I stared at the guy like he's some sort of a God till he finishes playing and I stand right up.
"You're in!" I then walked around the table and walked over to the guy to greet him.
"Name?" I asked.
"Souyo Tachi." He said.
I nodded with a grin then shook the guy's hand. I had to look up at him since he's a bit taller than me.
"You are literately saving our butts. Isn't he saving our butts guys!?" I asked my team as I continued to shake his hand.
"Yep. Totally saving our butts!" Shou said.
Hiroshi just threw a nod and Rikki...well, I can't tell what he's thinking. Hell, with that guy, I can never tell what he's thinking. I just turn back to Souyo and smile.
"Let's practice!"
The five of us started to practice and I had to say that we sounded much better now that we have Souyo with us. He's pretty much our savior now. I can't wait till we go out there and play more gigs.

Once practice was over, we all decided to go out and celebrate with food and drinks. We all went to the restaurant that me and Rikki went to last night.
"Cheers!" I said as we all clinked our shot glasses then downed it.
"Thanks for having me, guys. This is an awesome opportunity to be playing with the best." Souyo said.
"We're not the best....yet." Shou said with a grin.
I downed another shot and started to pour another.
"Aoi, what did I say about drinking?" He warned.
I shrugged at Rikki then took another shot.
"Hey, let the man drink if he wants to." Souyo scolded Rikki.
We all looked between Rikki and Souyo. Souyo is the first person to scold Rikki to his face. Rikki is normally the 'dad' of our band and he's always watching out for us. Especially me. I watched Rikki's face to see him glaring at Souyo then looked away and ate some of his food. I shrugged then took another shot.
Once we all finished drinking and eating, I was the only one drunk which is no surprise. I like to drink when I go out. Especially when it comes to celebrating. I'm seriously out of my element right now and I can barely walk. I have to keep relying on Rikki to keep me steady.
"Thanks for the night guys." Souyo said once we all walked out of the restaurant.
"Can I take you home, Aoi?" Souyo asked me.
"I'm taking him home. We both live together." Rikki announced as he tried to hold me steady.
Souyo looked surprised to hear the news from Rikki.
"Oh. Okay. See you guys tomorrow then? Get well, Aoi."
"Uh huh..." I said as I started to stumble over my feet.
"Jesus, Aoi. You're lucky I prepared for your drunk self." He said as he grabbed me by the waist then started to escort me home.
When we got home, I wasted no time with taking my clothes off.
"You should take a shower." Rikki suggested.
"Uh huh..." I said again as I pulled my socks off then my shirt and started to unbutton my pants.
I started to have trouble undoing my belt and unbuttoning my pants.
"Rikki! Heeelp!" I whined.
Rikki sighed then walked over to me and started to undo my belt and unbutton my pants. I smiled then rested my head on Rikki's shoulder and closed my eyes.
"C'mon. Into the bathroom you go." He said as he held onto my waist.
"I got it!" I shouted with irritation then kicked my black skinny jeans off and pulled down my boxers.
Rikki shielded his eyes. "Aoi..."
"Whaaaat?!" I said then wrapped my arms around Rikki's neck and smiled.
"Come shower with me."
Through my blurry vision, I saw Rikki blush different shades of red. He then sighed.
"No. I'm good right now. You, on the other hand, smell like alcohol."
I pouted then pulled away from Rikki.
"Fine." Then I walked over to the bathroom and closed the door behind me.
I took a nice long shower before hopping out and throwing a pair of pjs on. I walked into the living room to see Rikki relaxing on the floor. I plopped down next to him and rested my head on his lap. Rikki started to gently run his fingers through my damp hair. I smiled then closed my eyes.
