Warnings: Male x Male stuff. Slight OOC and AU, because this is just not how it really was. But hey, that's why this is fan fiction, right?
Summary: When Tetsu approaches Hyde to join his band, the vocalist turns out to be everything he's been made out to be and more. But is that more than the new band leader can handle?
Prologue
Their meeting was neither fate nor destiny. Tetsu did not believe in any of those things. He had been called naive on several occasions, but in reality that couldn't be further from the truth. He was very down to earth and prudent. He knew better than to use those sappy and romantic words when talking about the reasons that led him to that particular live house on that particular evening.
But it was not an accident or a fluke either. It was inevitable for much more practical reasons however: Tetsu had been looking for band members and scouring through live houses every night, trying to find someone he could work with. It was just a matter of time before he stumbled upon Jerusalem's Rod and, in consequence, upon the band's vocalist.
It was something that could be expected and it was inevitable. But in no way did it seem simple. Because, as Tetsu came to know in the years that followed, rarely anything was simple or uncomplicated when it came to the enigma known as Hyde. That evening, it was not simple for Tetsu to find the strength to draw his eyes from the man on stage.
It was not just the sheer beauty of the man that captivated him so, though Tetsu could readily admit to himself that his ethereal appearance played a huge role in it. Neither was it the sensual way he moved, capturing the audience in a mesmerizing spell, making them his, making them move and breathe in the rhythm that he wanted them to. A big part of it was his voice, rich and deep, full of emotion and color, but it was not the deciding factor either.
It was the sheer presence of the man, the way he seemed to shine from within and draw people to himself simply by existing. And on those rare occasions when Tetsu did let himself think sappy thoughts, he fancied that the biggest reason had been the feeling he got that day, like the vocalist's eyes were searching for someone or something. Maybe they searched for a meaning, maybe for a savior. At the time, Tetsu youthfully believed he could give Hyde both.
Of course, if Hyde really searched for anything that evening, he did that subconsciously and not on purpose. A man of his pride would have never confessed to lacking anything. But Tetsu didn't know that at the time, and his curiosity had already been picked.
That was why, when the live was over and all of the other (quite unimpressive) bands have played, Tetsu turned to his only companion that evening - a friend that he always brought with him on these member hunts because of his unrivaled knowledge of every rumor about every musician in Osaka that was ever uttered - and inquired about the band in as nonchalant a voice as he could muster. He was not so pleasantly surprised by the reaction that got him.
"Please tell me you're kidding, Tetsu. Anyone but him," the friend said, his face gaining an almost pained expression, immediately zeroing in on who exactly from the band Tetsu was interested in. The aspiring band leader only raised a questioning eyebrow.
"Why? What do you have on him?" He asked, now even more curious than before.
"Nothing. Everything. I don't know. He's the most mysterious man on the scene I've ever known," Tetsu's acquaintance said, almost exasperated. But the bassist simply kept quiet, leaving him no other choice but to continue.
"The guy first showed up in the scene as a guitarist," the man eventually began, giving up. "He calls himself Hyde, and he... wasn't really anything special. But then, this band happened and he was nudged into the vocal position and the rumors exploded. Each one of them more ridiculous than the next. He sold his soul to the devil for his voice, he's not really a man, he has seduced more straight men than one can count, he bathes in virgin blood to become this beautiful, he's got a harem with a hundred fangirls in it, he's a damn vampire and that's why he's so pale... I wouldn't even mention them, but let me tell you Tetsu, that man is more trouble than he's worth."
Instead of being put off by these "rumors", Tetsu couldn't help but feel amused by the whole thing and the way it seemed to frustrate his ever unmovable companion.
"Why? Because his mermaid choir keeps everyone up at night and the neighbors might sue?" He asked, jokingly, but his friend just frowned more.
"Because people that get so many rumors about them normally bring some really troublesome baggage with them. I know he looks like an innocent angel with a voice of a star on that stage, and I'm sure he's charming enough in person, but think good and long before approaching him, Tetsu. You know I can wade through rumors well and recognize crap from the truth. I wouldn't bother you with this bullshit but..." Tetsu's friend looked outright troubled for a moment. "I just don't have enough information to state this as a fact, but I think that part about him being a player that finds seducing other men a challenge might not be too far from the truth. And if it is, it's only a matter of time until it all blows up and his reputation goes to the gutter. And if you recruit him, yours will go down with his."
Tetsu still looked incredibly skeptical and the other man just sighed.
"Do as you will, Tetsu, if anyone can handle him, I guess it's you. But don't come to me complaining if you only succeed in becoming his newest victim."
Tetsu barely refrained from scoffing. His friend should know better than to warn him about something like that - Tetsu had no illusions about what kind of rumors the other has heard about him. At least he was right about one thing - if anyone could handle recruiting such a person as this Hyde was shaping up to be, it would be one Ogawa Tetsuya.
