Love Staged

Getting there

The next morning both boys woke up by Izumi's la-la lulu alarm.
Ryoma yawned and immediately got up and checked his phone.
He looked up his name and saw photos of him and Izumi from last night at dinner, he read articles and comments, there was so much hate for the both of them.
There would only be a few where they would be supportive but most were homophobic comments which made Ryoma a little upset but in his heart he knew he made the right choice by choosing Izumi but at the same time he knew his career was probably ruined for the rest of his life.

He turned his head and looked at Izumi,"Want me to make breakfast?"

"Yes!" Izumi smiled as he ran out of the room and into the kitchen.

As much as Ryoma wanted Izumi to be happy forever, he knew that it wouldn't happen with so much hate going on and he was right.
Days with hate ended up making Izumi a little depressed, the both of them barley had any job offers with commercials, movies, and any Tv shows.
The days turned into weeks, that's when things started to go worse, Ryomas career officially hit rock bottom since he never had any jobs and had to work at the corner store. While Izumi tried to be a manga artist yet again but got denied for his terrible drawing skills which ended up making him get a job with Ryoma.
Finally weeks turned into five months later and they still were there for each other. They worked,cooked together, Ryoma even helped Izumi pay for art classes so he could try to achieve his dream of becoming a manga artist.

During work Ryomas phone started to ring, he looked at Izumi who was on the left of him and gave him a questionable look. It was Rei calling and he usually never calls during work
hours.

"hello?"

"How would you and Izumi like to do a movie together?"

Ryoma paused for a moment and put the phone on speaker having Rei repeat himself.
Izumi smiled,they both shook their head and told Rei they would both do the movie.
When they both finished work they quickly walked into the house to go find Rei, they found him in the living room on the couch.

"When do we start filming!?" Izumi said smiling

"Filming starts later tonight but will finish by the end of the week. You have to do a photoshoot together, that should help both of your careers."

Izumi and Ryoma hugged each other and went upstairs to go get ready.

"Are you happy?"

"Yeah but I wanna do manga more."

Ryoma finished putting his pants on,"Well you should focus on this more now and try that later."

Ryoma didn't want to hurt Izumi's feelings because most people knew that even with classes, Izumi still didn't draw manga good enough.

Izumi pouted,"as long as the hate stops and we can finally be happy then it's okay."

Ryoma smiled as they finished getting dressed and walked downstairs to get Rei.
Rei explained the schedule for the boys and what roles they will play, as they all got into the car.
On the ride to the movie set Rei explained the type of poses they would have to do for the photo shoot which involves the boys kissing, with and without their shirts on, nice poses that the female audience would like.

"So why are we randomly getting offered all of this?" Ryoma asked.

"Well it seems as if there were more celebrities that started to come out as bisexual, gay and lesbian." Rei said as he pulled up to the movie set.

The three of them walked onto the movie set.
While Izumi and Ryoma were having their makeup,hair, changed, they were given a script that they had to read while all of this was happening.

The two repeated what was on the script until time was up and they had to shoot the first twenty minutes, but it took an hour to film with some of the others messing up and it had to be perfect.
The boys finished doing their part in the movie and had to rush to do the photoshoot.
Once they were their, Rei explained how they would have to be in boxers.
Izumi blushed and Ryoma was nervous.
They got undressed and proceeded to the other room. They were asked to kiss and for Ryoma to touch Izumi in a passionate way, Izumi's face was extremely red. Ryoma saw and
laughed. He whispered in Izumi's ear.

"You look so cute, I wonder how cute you'll look on our wedding day. Speaking of wedding day, lets go home after this and talk about it."

What he said made Izumi blush more.

They finished the photoshoot and got into the car.

"Rei, what do you think about me and Izumi getting married some time soon."

"Well things have been good between you two." He paused for a moment,"Where would you two be getting the money to do this?"

Izumi interrupted,"Mom and Dad can!"

Izumi knew that they were the ones who brought up the idea of Ryoma moving in.

The car pulled up to the house and as they got out Rei said,"Let me check with your parents and we'll see how the rest goes."

The three of them walked inside and split up, Izumi and Ryoma went upstairs and Rei went into the kitchen where Izumi's parents were.
Izumi turned to Ryoma.

"Well if we're getting married don't we have to plan stuff out?"

Ryoma shook his head,"Yeah,let's get an idea of what we want by looking stuff up."

They both sat at the computer desk and started to look stuff up.
