I Do It For the Fame
Who: Naruto, Ukon
When: 1PM
Where: Cafe Diem
What: The man-date, aka, possible new friends meet up.
Rating/Warning: PG-13 for probable language.

What Ukon hated most about himself was not the fact that he was sick, he had long since (more or less) gotten over that fact. What he hated most was that he used his sickness as a crutch. He did not merely accept it, he used his illness to get what he wanted. It was 1 o'clock now and he had just departed from the offices at the university to finish registering and filling out any last minute paperwork. Apparently the postal service had made a mistake and Ukon had not received important papers he needed to turn in. Which, wonderfully, meant he had to get up and get out of the apartment before twelve. Impossible, said Sakon that morning with a chuckle before leaving for his early class.

Despite what Sakon said, and how the world may have viewed Ukon, he was stronger and more fit than he let on. Playing sick just made life easier in the eyes of those around him.

Now that all those forms were done, turned in and finished, his hand ached from signing his name over, and over, and over. Ridiculous. How hard was it to sign his name once and be done with it? Obviously he was fine with signing his life away to this school. Did they really need him to do it twenty times? Shaking his head at the memory, Ukon leaned his back against a pillar outside of the Cafe, arms crossed over his chest. As usual he was dressed in a light weight, long-sleeved shirt that buttoned up in the front. It was a casual dress shirt, really. Khaki slacks covered his legs, but black sneakers were on his feet. A bag was also slung over his shoulder filled with a folder with information, his emergency shots in case his heart felt like acting up, and some other extra items like a phone and MP3 player.

He wondered what this mysterious Naruto looked like. Ukon had no idea and worried he had just agreed to a "date" and not some friendly meet up. You never knew these days.

Perhaps they were two of a kind, insane minds and all. Mysterious pasts they didn't exactly openly share--Ukon would never share his under the influence of alcohol. He didn't drink. It was not good for his heart, already failing as it was. Maybe once in a blue moon he'd steal a sip from Sakon's beer hanging around the house, but he would never drink even half a bottle or even a can by himself. However, Naruto was welcome to drink all he wanted. Ukon had no problem with drinking other than the fact that it would kill him faster than he already was dying.

"It's easier if you listen to the CD reading of it," commented Ukon. "I listened to it a couple of years ago when I started getting serious about learning the language. You'll go insane far less quickly." Smirking, he glanced up at the waitress and told her he'd like a decaf. coffee, four creams, one sugar. And then his attention was back on the blond in front of him.

"You're going to play Mr. Darcy?" asked Ukon, not sure if he was amused and wanted to laugh or take the other man's hand and wish him the best of luck. "That's tough. But if you'd like a production part, why don't you change majors?"

Under the influence it was far easier for Naruto to open up. He didn't try hard to cover up what he was thinking and felt things going on in his heart and mind with such refinery that the headache the next day couldn't be entirely blamed on too many jello shots. Tenten seemed like the only one that really got it, though. What that foggy, shine in Naruto's eyes really was while completely inebriated. So it might not even work with anyone else. Whether that was the luck of the draw or a curse, however...

"Not 'going'. It was handed to me." He silently appreciated Ukon's voice as he rambled on about the CD and the English... All things that went in one ear and out the other, with bits of information sticking so that he may use it later. Maybe finding the soundtrack wouldn't be such a bad idea. He really did hate bothering his friends to rehearse with him for these dreaded plays.

Shaking his head, Naruto laughed at the idea and waved his hands in front of his face. "Don't get me wrong, I like what I do for the most part! But when you're not getting paid for it it's just annoying. The more lead roles you got here means the more offers on the outside." With that he motioned to the window and the streets just beyond the campus. "I need all the help I can get..."

The coffee was brought and he took his time to nod a 'thank you' to the waitress as well as grab the sugar box against the wall. "But between you and me? I think I just like playing dress up."

How nice. His words would probably merely flutter on by. Ukon tried not to say things unless they were of importance or if he really had to. And here Naruto was, listening, probably pretending to care. Ah well. Some things just were beyond others. Though if it helped him, more power to him. Acting was hard, Ukon recognized that with every bloopers scene or behind-the-set show he'd watched on the television. He'd never be able to do it and nor would Sakon. They had their special places outside of the camera and eye of the viewer.

"I'm sure you'll do fine," said the elder twin as he nodded at the waitress for his drink, also. He wrapped his cool fingers around the Styrofoam cup and let it warm him as best it could. It felt really nice to not be cold.

"You'll get cast in some movie, everyone will see it. You'll be rich and leave us all in the gutter." Every once in a while he could add an optimistic comment or two.

"You got it all wrong. I'd like to be rich and all, but nothing as huge as that!" Didn't that go against everything he was about? Some might question his intentions what with him being known for enjoying the limelight. But there were differences between being the center of attention amongst friends and having cameras in your face. The thought itself sent an disarming shiver up his spine for some odd reason and he took a sip from his mug to calm those awkward nerves.

That aside he still found it in himself to push that bit of conversation aside and chuckle instead, reaching out to bring the script back towards him, "But if you're gonna worry I could promise you I won't leave without saying goodbye. Y'know. If it really matters to you that much."

Listening quietly, Ukon folded his arms on the table and leaned upon his elbows. He understood. Sometimes being that big of a star was just too big for some people, he supposed. Ukon would have liked to be rich, too. Maybe be one of those great doctors that saved hundreds of lives in his own lifetime. In the end, even if he did make millions, he'd have the bad reputation as being a strange sort of doctor. Was he nice? mean? It was so hard to tell sometimes.

"Oh, my heart sores with relief knowing I won't be the last to know." A pale hand touched his chest briefly before returning to its position on the table. He knew it had only been a moment, but he wished their drinks would have come.

A sarcastic one. Naruto had a lot of friends like that and had learned to laugh it off after time. He did that genuinely, looking up from the sugar box he had been fiddling with and smiling at the man in front of him. Ukon wasn't loud and from what he'd seen already, absolutely nothing like his brother. Things were panning out just fine and maybe, just maybe, they would do this again. There weren't many people in Naruto's life that he met more than once. Rare as it was he wouldn't mind a second meeting.

"I didn't mean to break your heart! This is just going so fast. First coffee and now you're cryin' over me." The guy had jokes. That could be appreciated. Not many people had a good sense of humor. "I could take you with me? We could tour the world! Me, a megastar. And you, the trophy wife."
