				Jesus, it had been a long day. An early-morning talk show appearance where he had to blab on with the dumb blonde woman, and then the stupid photoshoot for a lotion ad. He sighed, shaking his head, leaning back. He was in his manager's office, and just relaxing. They were on their way to the airport early tomorrow morning, because they were going to jet off somewhere so that he could tour. He loved travelling...after smalltown life as a kid, he had decided he would never go back. The bigger the city, the happier he was.<br><br>His manager's office overlooked Times Square in New York, conviniently facing a billboard with his face plastered all over it.<br><br>It was an ad for gum.<br><br>He smirked, waiting for his manager to come back, laying on the black leather couch, sighing. He was half Japanese and have German by birth. His hair was, today, dyed a gentle toffee color, the gel having collapsed a bit so that it was merely mussed, falling all around his face. He had in pale green contacts to hide the soft brown of his eyes.<br><br>Hair dye and colored contacts allowed him to constantly change the way that he looked, and it kept his fans on their toes, expecting what he might be wearing or looking like.<br><br>His face was just shy of feminine, with a delicate jawline and full lips, eyes almond shaped but not narrow. His lashes were the ones that boys always have and girls always wanted, and he was impossibly leggy. He was built to be famous, or so his mom said. For now, he just felt like he was built to be hungry. He only ate what his manager let him eat, so he was in his office, waiting for the older man to come back.<br><br>At seventeen, he was just the right age to take the hearts of girls.<br><br>He was wearing low-slung black jeans, a bit shredded, and a t-shirt from his last tour that was baggy, draped artfully around his slender frame. He hoped his manager would come into the office soon...he wanted to see him. His manager was the only one that he really trusted, in all actuality.

				Ren leans over his laptop, replying to emailed proposals for performances and appearances for his young client. At the age of 21, he had become the youngest manager to aquire one of the most popular performers in the world. He took his job very seriously, this business was very fast pace and he had to keep people intrigued as long as possible. His biggest goal was to protect him from slanderous magazines and boost his image well enough that he would not become another 'one hit wonder'. <br><br>This meant monitoring his actions from his weight, to his sleeping habits, safety and emotional health. He didnt mean to be anal but if his star failed, that would mean starting over from scratch and less food on the table. He ran his fingers delicately through his long silken black hair. Being full Japanese, he tried to incorporate culture into Aki's life while he was on tour to keep him well rounded and knowledgeable about what different audiences could relate to. <br><br>Today he wore an Armani dress shirt with tweed slacks and Aldo shoes. He wanted to look professional at all times so that his older counterparts in the business took him seriously. Many knew him to be a stern deal maker and keen on catching loop holes in any contract. He didnt need Aki caught up in a situation where he would be limited to use of one company's label or resources. In a way, he was a 'free agent' meaning that if a label was not promoting him properly, Ren would have him moved to another company that would better suit him. It was a hectic job but he felt noone would be as thourough with the paperwork so he never hired an assistant. He was Aki's trainer/manager/friend/assistant and several other titles. <br><br>Having been satisfied with his progress, he logs off of the internet and packs up his belongings, gazing out of the large window in his office at the face of his client. Squinting a bit, he noticed something on his cheek, was that a blemish? He would have his facial cleanser evaluated right away, he thought to himself, walking out of the door to meet with Aki whom was waiting for him. Though stern at times, he tried always to treat Aki with care as if he might break with improper handling. When he spoke to him he made sure not to offend him but at the same time, get him to cooperate with him. Its not uncommon to see Ren adjusting his costumes or inspecting his condition on a regular basis. "Your humble servant has arrived" he mused, spotting him in a chair.

				Avi smiled, sitting up when he saw his friend and manager come in, stretching his whole body out and then stepping out of the chair. He shook himself out so that he could work the kinks out, sighing contentedly, looking up at Ren. "Yeah, right. More like Master..." He joked softly, standing up and moving over to where Ren was standing. "C'mon, let's get out of here. I want to go and get some food. I'm absolutely starving." He whispered, looking up rather pleadingly at his older manager. He wanted so badly to eat. To eat real, good food, the sorts of food that would fill him. Something other than the protein shakes and tofu squares that he seemed to be allowed to eat. <br><br>He reached out and took hold of Ren's hand, a habit of his. He did love to hold hands, especially with Ren, since he wasn't really allowed to develop relationships. He had flings when Ren wasn't looking, but they always ended up plastered across the tabloids, and it made Ren furious. It was Ren who truly allowed him to start up relationships, or, usually, to not have any relationship. <br><br>Avi stretched upwards and then sighed. <br><br>"Oh, I'd like to stay at your place tonight, by the way. If it's alright with you. My mom is driving me crazy...she wants to borrow even more money...and I just don't want to deal with her." It was commonplace for Avi to sleep over at Ren's, mostly because Ren was the only person he trusted, and the only person whom he told about his familial issues. <br><br>"But, seriously...c'mon, let's go and get some food. I'm absolutely starved." He murmured.

				Ren grinned at his remark about being master as he asked him to take him to get some food. "Alright, alright. I will make you something myself tonight. This is one of the busiest nights of the week and it could be a big hassle getting your adoring fans to leave you alone long enough to let you eat." His voice was low pitched but gentle. He knew his recent diet was taking a toll on him. Feeling his hand being touched, he instinctively held his hand, stroking Avi's knuckles with his thumb softly.<br><br>It must have been difficult for him to keep his relationships neutral at the supple age of 17 but Ren couldnt risk him becoming unfocused or plastered on the front of the Enquirer. He wanted to keep Avi's social life private but that meant limiting his social crowd to a select few and keeping his female (and sometimes male) suitors at bay. Ren, on the other hand, had social freedom but with his devotion to Avi, he decided that it would be unkind to put someone in the position of hardly ever seeing him. He was invited to many A-list parties where the groupies came by the dozens and sometimes took them up on their offers for one night affairs in exchange for a night in the lap of luxury. But he kept this type of action to a bare minimum. He did not want any of them getting in contact with Avi whom often stayed with him in his studio apartment. On average, it would be once a week that he had a female visitor, usually not the same person and he kept it on a non-committed basis. <br><br>"I suppose you can come over,. . .. again!" he looked over at him as they made their way toward the door. "you know you mother will always get on your nerves no matter how old you get but it wouldnt hurt to put her on an allowance of funds. After all, she was the one who contacted me about giving you a chance at stardom." They would be approaching an elevator now. Ren had secretly begun sending Avi's mother checks each month in order to ensure her support of his actions. When Avi turned 18, he would no longer need her approval for caring for him but he felt it was only right to help her along every now and then.<br><br>"what do you want to eat tonight? Will it be soup and veggies or fruit salad and wheat rolls?"

				Avi smiled as Ren ran his thumb over his knuckles, instantly soothed by the motion, holding on tightly to his hand. He laughed when told that he could come over again. He knew that he spent quite a bit of time at Ren's apartment, but it didn't seem that the older man minded, at least not much. He did wish that he would be allowed to start up a relationship. The only point of his confusion was that no matter how many women he slept with, he didn't quite feel satisfied, and it didn't quite feel right. He had, though, been fooling around with one of the male photographers when Ren wasn't looking. Avi was seventeen, and had managed to figure out how to sneak out, especially when he spent nights with his mother. <br><br>The photographer swore love and utter devotion to him, but was more devoted to the Avi that was plastered on billboards than the real Avi, than the Avi that he got in his bed some nights. <br><br>Coming back to Ren with his thoughts, he smiled, peering up at him. <br><br>"Mmm...let's go, then. Let's go and get some...ugh, can't I get real food? Like...a pizza, or pasta, or something? But I guess I'll have the fruit salad and wheat rolls..." The diet that he was on was absolutely brutal, and left him feeling light-headed most of the time. After particularly brutal shows, it wasn't uncommon for Avi to collapse completely in a dead faint. <br><br>"Drive us to your place, then. We can watch a movie tonight, or something."

				Sunny nodded, as they approached the parking garage. He owned a black mercedes with a chrome finish and his name printed alongside the emblem. Leading Avi to the passenger side, he held the door open for him, glancing around to make sure they werent being spied on by a crazed fan or worse, the press. He often found them lurking around corners and hiding behind bushes, attempting to get rare photos of his prodigy but he always caught them and had them removed from the premises. <br><br>Starting the car up he looked at Avi. "Real food, fruit and veggies are real and the most healthy for you too. But since your record sales just went up by ten points, i guess i could spoil you a little tonight. But you have to promise me that you wont slack off." he pulled out of his reserved parking space and started his journey through the city. "as far as watching a movie goes, im fine with that. What kind of film did you have in mind? we can always rent something from paid per view if i dont have what your looking for." Ren did his best to entertain and keep Avi happy as much as possible if it fell in line with his rules.<br><br>They turned down another street and came to a stop light. A car full of attractive young woment pulled up next to them but he knew they wouldnt be able to see Avi clearly with his tinted windows. He sat back calmly waiting for the light to change.

				Avi rolled his eyes when told that the fruits and veggies were good for him, slipping into the passenger seat, used to Ren looking out for paparazzi. Ren seemed to hate photos of him getting leaked, even when he was doing something as simple as getting into a car, or buying a Coca-Cola when Ren wasn't looking. Not that it mattered...when the photos were leaked, he always got in trouble for having been snacking when he wasn't supposed to be. <br><br>"Pay per view is fine. I wanna watch something romantic, but funny. I heard there's some new romantic comedy out with Jennifer Garner, or something. We'll figure it out when we get there..." He sighed softly, looking out the window at the girls, a small smile coming to his face.<br><br>He was attracted to them in a vague, sortof lustful way, but didn't really want them.<br><br>He was most attracted to men, though he had never told Ren, knowing that the man would be furious if he found out. Since Ren would be working late tomorrow night, though, he could sneak out for a few hours to see the photographer. He just hoped, desperately, that no paparazzi would see him do it. <br><br>A tiny smile, naturally secretive, crept over his face. He looked down and ran his fingers through his soft hair, letting the spikes fall in front of his face, turning to look at Ren. "How come you never go on dates with people? Don't you ever get lonely, working all the time?"

				Sunny looks over, noting the smile across his face. "I dont have time for such trivial things. Im too busy keeping my 'prized bull' in top condition. The only way i could even meet with the same person more than once, well. . . she would have to be rich and be able to travel and understand that you come first on my list of people. But i doubt i will find a woman who will be second place for long." many of his one night stands had asked him the same question and he usually answered the same way each time. <br><br>Sunny pulls into the parking lot of his studio apartment. Getting out of the car, he glances around before moving to open Avi's door for him. "What are you smiling about? I know there is something sneaky going on in that head of yours." he eyed him for a moment. Avi's face was showing the classic look of a teenage boy who was about to engage in something he was told not to.<br><br>Closing the passenger door, he puts his hand on Avi's waist and leads him to the entrance of the building. Having called ahead of time, a small group of security guards stood at different posts in the lobby, blocking the several doors that lead from different areas of the building to its lobby. The person on the other side would simply think the door had been locked by accident. Sunny's presence was known in the hotel but anytime he brought Avi along, he took the necessary steps to keep their privacy private.

				Avi nodded, but looked a bit sad, unhappy that he was stopping the older man from being able to have a normal relationship. He felt sorry that he was stopping him from being able to live a normal male life, though he was eternally glad that he had Ren, especially because the older man took such good care of him and was always around when he needed him or whenever he didn't need him as well. He tied his hair back, sighing, looking out the window.<br><br>"Oh, it's nothing. Just thinking about girls," Avi lied easily. The lies had now become butter-smooth, carefully practiced with Ren, easily able to lie, especially about relationships that he was having. <br><br>He looked up at the security guards, offering them gentle smiles, appreciating all of the work that they did for him. <br><br>"C'mon, let's get that pay per view. And stinking soup." He laughed softly and took Ren's hand once more, pulling him along with one of those glowing smiles that showed how eager he was to be hanging out, to finally have a night off from the recordings and the photographs and the interviews that he was booked for. Avi let his grin spread over his face as he headed into the well-used hotel suite.<br><br>He reached into a bag that had already been brought up for him, dragging out a pair of black silk boxers, heading into the bathroom. He came out a few minutes later wearing only them, used to walking around in boxers when around Ren, flopping onto the huge bed. "C'mere. Once we get some food, I wanna cuddle," He laughed, a bit embarrassed, but was honest about it. He loved being cuddled up against Ren. Simple physical touches made him feel safe.

				Ren once again instinctivly held his hand, allowing himself to be pulled into the building. He was happy to see Avi in good spirits and glad he was able to relax for a night. Once placed his car keys on the coffee table, careful not to scratch the surface and Avi headed for the bathroom. While he was there, Ren placed an order for spinach pizza and hot wings though it was against his better judgement. Whenever the delivery person got there, he would let Ren answer the door as to treat him for doing so well this week. Ren undid a few of his shirt buttons and removed his belt but that was all. He was too tired to undress just yet. Sometimes he worked so long that he would sleep in his work clothes and skip dinner for the sake of rest.<br><br>Seeing Avi come out of the bathroom, he saunters over to the bed and sits at the foot, removing his shoes and scooting them safely under his bed before crawling into the bed next to Avi and strecthing his legs out. "mmmm" he was a little stiff from sitting at the desk for long periods of time. Picking up the remote he began scanning channels to see if he could find the movie that Avi had mentioned before. "Avi, we have a tv appearance to do tomorrow on the Disney channel but they dont start rehearsing until noon so i will let you sleep until ten. But you have to get up when its time to because we dont want to fall behind." He stopped scanning and selected the movie with the remote.<br><br>Just then, there was a knock at the front door. "Avi, could you get that for me? Im really tired from working." he asked, mocking an 'i dont know who it could be' expression. He leaned back on the bed, his long hair falling down to one side as he combed through it with his fingers a bit.

				Avi smiled, cuddling up against Ren the minute that the other man was in the bed, cuddling up against his side. He lay his head on Ren's shoulder and let his eyes scan the pages on the television, checking for the movie that he wanted to watch, pointing it out when Ren came across it. He sighed softly and smiled faintly, not particularly looking forward to the vegetable soup that he was expecting for dinner. <br><br>When the delivery person came, he sighed, sliding out of bed and going to get it. "Fine," He said, "But I hate being on Disney Channel...the fans are always so grabby when you're up on stage." He sighed softly, then cooed in delight, seeing the box of wings and the pizza. He smiled and came back into the bedroom.<br><br>"Thanks, Ren! This is awesome..." He knew he could only have one piece and two wings, a long-established rule, but was still glad.<br><br>This was a rare, rare treat for him, something absolutely wonderful for him. He flopped onto the bed, wiggled under most of the covers, and then opened the food boxes before digging in. He gently began chewing on a piece of pizza, grinning, wrapping his arms around Ren. "You're so good to me," He said, laughing as the movie started, leaning into his manager's side. <br><br>He wolfed down the food he was allowed, already beginning to doze off, though still chuckling at the scenes in the movie, arms wrapped around Ren.

				Sunny nods, not with holding his smile as Aki rejoins him in the bed. "Your welcome, but dont get used to this, its just a little treat before we get back to work. And dont fret about working with the kids on Disney. Your role in the show is that you are a guest singer at a concert. There will be barracades and security. You wont be handled i assure you." He stroked Aki's hair like one would a puppy.<br><br>Leaning back, he too grabs a piece of pizza. He hadnt eaten all day after all and his stomach was killilng him. Feeling Aki's arm around him he shifted so he could make himself more comfortable if he desired as they watched the movie together. It was a pretty good flick, better than he had expected. He tried his best not to note the name brand clothes or comment on thier hair styles. He couldnt help it, he was always looking at what was trendy and trying to be the first to come out with a new one.<br><br>He glanced down and noticed that Aki was falling asleep. Shaking his head gently he put the pizza and wings off to the side and pulled the covers up on Aki's shoulder.

				Avi managed to eat whatever he was allowed to eat, sighing just a little bit, shaking his head to try and stay awake. He groaned, stretching, and arched back for just a moment, falling fast asleep. It was the possessive hair stroking, as though he were a dog, that did it for him. Though he would never admit it, he loved being taken control of, of just being able to focus on reactions that were forced out of him. He had experimented with bondage with his photographer, and it felt wonderful, though he wouldn't dream of telling Ren about it. <br><br>Avi shut his eyes fully, and drifted off to sleep. <br><br>He, during the night, wiggled so that his head was resting on the other man's chest. He slept best with his head under the covers, listening to Ren's soothing heart-beat, tangling his bare legs with the other man's. <br><br>Chest rising and falling slowly, he slept clear through morning, knowing that his manager would handle everything for him. He would wake him up, get him dressed, and get him ready for his appearance on the show. <br><br>His breath was warm and moist on his manager's chest, arms wrapped tightly around him.

				Sunny glanced at Avi long after the movie was over, thinking about his image and progression so far. He was definitely Sunny's best client and he had dropped all other clientele to focus totally on his teenage sensation. He stroked Avi's hair gently, turning off the the television and tossing the remote control aside. With his free hand he removed his ponytail holder before placing his hand on Avi's lower back, pulling him a little closer to him before drifting off to sleep. <br><br>Around nine in the morning, his eyes opened slowly, the sun just beginning to illuminate his bedroom. 'mmmmmmhh' he groaned quietly as not to bother Avi as he slept against him. It was nice to be able to just enjoy the morning instead of hustling and rushing to the office. He gently removed the covers so they hung loosely around Avi's waist and began to stroke his hair and ear gently, occasionally rubbing his back. "I dont know if your awake, but im about to take a bath. You dont have to get up until ten but you will have to shower right away since you will only have two hours til disney rehearsal." He rose up slowly, gently laying Avi's head against the pillow before standing and stretching a bit. He began to undress, finally removing his work clothes from the night before. He took his shirt off, gingerly putting it to the side so he would remember to send it to the cleaners and then started on his slacks

				Avi nodded, rolled over, and then pressed his face into the pillows for a few minutes. Finally he got out of bed and immediately stumbled into the shower, cleaning himself of any makeup or hair-products that he had had on. Comfortable, clean, he headed back into the room and changed into a pair of black jeans and a t-shirt. He would have hair and makeup done at the set for his next photoshoot, so he wasn't too worried about that.<br><br>"Any breakfast today?" He asked softy, wondering if he could get some food or if he was still going to be kept on his heavy diet. He hated his diets. He hated the fact that he wasn't allowed to eat and that he was constantly expected to stay hungry and to be comfortable while he was hungry.<br><br>Stretching slowly, he looked at the other man, smiling ever so faintly.<br><br>"Let's get out of here. Don't wanna be late..."

				Sunny gazed at his reflection in the bathroom mirror for a few moments, making sure he was presentable before turning his attention to Avi. Looking him over he tussled his hair a bit and tugged gently on his t shirt before giving up. He decided he wouldn't complain this time if Avi decided to wear casual clothing. Putting his cell phone and other office supplies into his suitcase, he took Avi by the hand and lead him out of the apartment. "I thought you hated Disney work?" he mused, waiting on the elevator to come. Remembering his question, Sunny glanced at his watch a moment and said "breakfast will be arranged for us once we get to the studio. Do you want cereal or fruit today? I may even throw in a muffin if you promise me you wont give the Disney production team a hard time."
