[ . . . oh for fuck's sake
Rei is just going to quirk an eyebrow at that, then moving ahead of his own accord and going to go ahead and wrap his fingers around eichi's wrist, lifting the hand off his face as he leans down to inspect this poor mess of a man on his couch]
Hey.
You're not entering the eternal slumber just yet, are you?

Hey.
You're not entering the eternal slumber just yet, are you?
[Oh leave the poor dying idol alone.
Eichi opens one eye to squint at Rei, eyebrow arching slightly.]
Certainly not yet. There is far too much to do for that. My body will not give out on your dressing room couch, I give you my word.
Now will you leave me alone?

[A tilt of his head.]
No.
[in all honesty being left alone to suffer and struggle and gasp for breath just sounds way too depressing
but he'd really rather not have to tell eichi that]
You know, I do hope at some point tonight you realize that I am hardly yours to command.
No.

[alright he can't deny it there's a glint of something amused in his red eyes.]
No, please. Do beg. I may actually consider your request.
[like a proper demon
but he'll at least back off now, walking over to his chair.]
I suppose I will merely have to call Hasumi-kun to collect the body.

I suppose I will merely have to call Hasumi-kun to collect the body.
[Ah...........
That brings a different smile out of him--one that's somewhere between wry and faintly amused.]
I suppose it is nothing but his duty to gather the bodies of the Tenshouin family.
And yet, he is so busy. I would rather drag myself out of here than call upon him to do so.
[It's...complicated.]
I do not intend to rely on his charity here.

[Yeah to be honest Rei and Keito's relationship is also a little rocky ever since they broke up disbanded their old unit but
A smile!]
If you care to call your chauffeur, I could always escort you to your car.
[bridal carry and demolition of Eichi's pride round 2.]

[There's a long pause at that, and then Eichi sits up. He's pale, and the room honestly is kind of spinning, and he coughs a few times before he manages words, but he's completely serious when he speaks.]
If my presence here is so troubling, I will simply leave now.
[go away rei]
I have more manners than to overstay my admittedly debatable welcome.

[what the fuck were you expecting this evening, Eichi.
Regardless he's surprised enough that he's turning back when he hears Eichi rustling and then he's stopping to return back to the couch and reach a hand out to Eichi's shoulder and steady him
ew he feels a Concern why.]
In truth, I'm not sure where to begin with that assortment of false statements-
[to clarify that first.]
But I still wouldn't advise that decision.

But I still wouldn't advise that decision.
I'd never dare to take that position from Hasumi-kun.
[also what the fuck he doesn't want that position ever
but boy is he feeling frustrated. Eichi is even harder to rein in than Koga.]
But I lack interest in watching you self-destruct all the same.
[also what the fuck he doesn't want that position ever

But I lack interest in watching you self-destruct all the same.
[Surely if he keeps annoying Rei, eventually Rei will give up and leave him alone, right?
Right!!!
That's how it works with everyone.]
Really now. One would think watching me self-destruct would be your favorite past time at this point.
[Really!!
He isn't lying back down.]
Though perhaps it was only the fall you were interested in.

The fall, the freedom, the rebellion - all of that most certainly delighted me.
[listen rei is honest if nothing else, he has no interest in hiding behind deceits like some people
but]
At the same time, you really ought to stop pretending that you know me.
[because even as annoyed as he is, the idea of leaving someone behind or letting them proceed to their downfall so completely and thoroughly sits poorly with him]

[NO......... BECAUSE-]
And your request has been denied. Perhaps you should've thought of that before you thought to enter a monster's domain.
Either rest and recover, or I'll finish my call to Hasumi-kun.
At this rate, I almost regret having invited you onto my stage.

[rude af]
I fail to see if this is kindness, which is unwanted, or some new form of exquisite torment that has never been imagined before.
[Forcing him to rest....rude...]
You are a terrible nursemaid. Though I suppose it was inevitable you would grow to regret that.
[He lies back down--more because he has to than because he wants to, because he's trembling a little.]
A demon would never wish for a fallen angel to be in his domain. One moment's shining does not forgive a lifetime of conflict, of course. When vice makes mercy... how truly disgusting. [that is not even close to how that quote goes, Eichi.
He lifts the water bottle, but only to press it to his forehead; it's cool, and that's enough for him.]

[and so eichi lies back down and rei relents, sighing and going to collect a chair. this is absolutely not how he expected to spend the night after his performance but he supposes that eichi tenshouin is so very good at throwing off all plots and plans]
Are you truly so surprised that a monster would have horrendous bedside manner? Regardless, my intention is not to make sure that you are happy, but simply that you remain alive.
Unlike you, I have no interest in casually bloodying my hands.
[as for whether it's kindness or torment
rei supposes that's really up to eichi to decide, he'd rather not think too deeply on the matter]

[Gross.
Eichi shifts his gaze to the ceiling again, murmuring--]
It will happen, regardless of whose hands happen to touch mine last.
But tonight... no, not tonight.
[He sighs.]
Have you always been so stubborn? I had known you were like this for all of those precious little souls you call your friends, but to think that you are so stubborn about the people who are your enemies as well...!

[honestly rei can only tilt his head at that, silently judging, something along the lines of-
Well, it's not as if I, an immortal, could truly comprehend....
before he shakes his head, feeling the rise of irritation at his beloved humans being called 'precious little souls' so condescendingly, and then suppressing it.
he'd really rather not give eichi what he wants]
Demons don't take well to being given orders by humans, no matter their rank or title. It would be more accurate to say that I am merely living my life as I please, and you are the one causing disorder by trying to change that path.

[... He laughs.
He can't help it.
He laughs, softly, and soon it's coughing, before he catches his breath again, but he can't help it.]
Ah... a demon who espouses order over all, and an angel who sows disorder wherever he goes...what a sordid drama this is.
[Eichi's flagging, though. Despite himself, his hand's growing lax on that water bottle, and his eyelids are drooping. He's exhausted, and the coughing isn't helping.]

[ . . . . hm. Eichi's not wrong, but Eichi's also definitely used up all his stamina for the night.
That's almost a shame.
Rei watches, observes, and then sighs.]
Say, Tenshouin-kun... If you wake up in a coffin, you'd have only brought it upon yourself, you know.
[wait what]
That's almost a shame.
Rei watches, observes, and then sighs.]

[wait what]
[He waves that off, vaguely, slumping a little further.]
Do not bury me too deeply yet.
"Heaven"--is what I cannot reach. ...Not yet, anyway.
[How is it Eichi can still be a pretentious fuckass even as he's starting to fall asleep...the world will never know.
But a few moments later, the water bottle, still full and unopened, is slipping from nerveless fingers to the couch.]

[does he sort of just start mumbling poetry in his sleep then
but regardless Rei catches the water bottle before it makes a mess, but he's also unsurprised by the fact that eichi is Annoying AF.
there's a shake of his head and
well, it's his dressing room so. of course he has his coffin ready. there's an entertained little hum to himself because he honestly thinks this is funny but... yes, he'll pick eichi up carefully so as to not stir him and then place him in the coffin
which, mind you, is infinitely comfier than the couch. it's temperature-controlled and has room for snacks, too.
rei crosses his arms to survey his good work before smiling to himself]
I warned him.... ♪
[he'll just not dwell on the fact that this is practically the equivalent of lending eichi his bed
whatever
it's easier to laugh at it being really ironic]

[Eichi Tenshouin doesn't typically participate in variety shows--but that doesn't mean he's incapable. Really, what draws him to this one is a complicated sort of conflict with his family. Or maybe it's not really so complicated, because it really boils down to "they don't think he should", which to Eichi means "go do it, and do it so well nobody will ever tell you not to ever again".
It's basic.
So he's on the show. He finds out the script beforehand, learns it's a faux marriage, that there will be domesticity involved.
Likely no affection, however, which is fine. He will just keep the person at arm's length, and hit them where it hurts (metaphorically) if they don't get the hint.
He's got it all under control. The only aspect he doesn't like is that he doesn't get to find out who he will be faux-married to until the time of the show, but it isn't as though it could be too terrible.
(Famous last words.)
The lights are on, the cameras roll, Eichi steps out with a million dollar smile, and it doesn't waver when he sees who it is.
(Even though inwardly, he's not really pleased.
Last time he saw that fucker, he stuck him in a coffin and it gave Keito a heart attack.)]

[In comparison to Eichi's lack of wavering, Rei manages a laugh.
Honestly, it's hilarious. He shouldn't even be here - Kaoru should be here. But the moron got himself in trouble with an ankle injury due to some risky surfing and now here Rei is, on a married variety show where he definitely doesn't belong and looking at his spouse-
Yeah, of course he laughed.
He put this fucker in a coffin and then called Keito because he thought it would be funny.
(It was. 10/10, would do again.)
But the thing is that Rei Sakuma is an experienced idol, so to the cameras it just looks like he's probably happy to see an old classmate or like he's responding to a prank, as opposed to thinking on one that he personally pulled.]
How good.
[yeah that's all eichi gets
rei thinks this is so funny, oh god]
