Ren's face turned a bright shade of red. ".....Thanks..?" He murmured in an embarrassed tone and sighed. "What's with you and these compliments?" He scratched the back of his head, he didn't take them too well. But he didn't really feel like yelling at him since in a way, they were 'bonding'.
"As long as you can relate." Ren said with a small smile, "That alone is rare. I hardly find anybody that can relate to me with that problem."

"Sorry, I just... say it like I see it I guess. I forgot you didn't like compliments. Next time I'll call you an asshole, that better?" He laughed lightly.
Dai couldn't wipe the dumb smile off his face. He was just really happy that he could finally get out something personal so someone, and they could actually understand. Ren wasn't gay, that was just clear, so the reasons they had parental problems was entirely different, but... it didn't matter to Daisuke if he told him why he hadn't seen his parents in years.
It wasn't his business, and he wasn't going to pry, just like Ren wasn't asking him why his Dad hated him. It was a mutual understanding. "And you probably won't. We're kind of a rare kind. Which is awesome because.. I would never wish this on someone else."

"Do what you want." Ren said as he smirked, actually enjoying himself a bit. "Hmm, not only are you purple headed, tall, a singer, but you're selfless as well?" Ren raised his eyebrows and started laughing. "Wow, you sure are something." He shook his head - Ren didn't have what it took to be selfless. The world revolved around him most of the time, not caring about other people except for a selected few.
"But yeah I know where you're coming from. Growing up without parents is a bitch."

Selfless? Daisuke never really thought of himself as selfless. Wasn't it just human nature to not to want horrible things to happen to people? Dai thought so. Scratching his head he flashed another sheepish smile, "For someone who hates compliments, you sure give out a lot of them, in your own Ren way." he laughed.
"But yeah I know where you're coming from. Growing up without parents is a bitch."
Dai's mouth twisted into a frown, ouch. Life without parents had to be rough. He didn't know which he would rather. His own father pretending he didn't exist his whole life, and seeing his mother go through hell for him every day, or not having to see them at all. Both seemed terrible. "Yeah, but maybe when we get famous we can help people that are going through the same thing?" He smiled, looking off into the crowd.

"Ah? I wasn't aware being selfless was a 'compliment'." Ren said with a rude tone; and it was true. To him, being selfless was a big weakness and it was something he didn't really want to be. Ren shook his head, "I don't want to be famous for other strangers. I want to be famous for me, and obviously my 'family'." Ren said as he sighed heavily, not knowing how you could be thinking of other people through your own family problems.

"Well... it's a compliment to me." he beamed, ignoring Ren's tone. The rudeness didn't really bother him, now that he knew where it came from. Dai would actually surprised if Ren wasn't rude about it. Dai always believed his intentions were selfish. Well... as selfish as Dai could be. He wanted to make people happy because it would make him feel better.
"That's cool, it doesn't change the fact that you'll help some kid with a dream one day." he teased.

"Whatever." Ren murmured, knowing that he couldn't win this argument. Feeling the awkwardness come back, he coughed a bit, trying to predict what Daisuke would say next. "What's up with you and kids?" Ren asked rudely, "I, personally, hate kids." He shook his head just thinking about them. "They're nothing but pieces of shit that cry and whine all day." He scratched the back of his head roughly,
"They're nothing but trouble."

Dai was completely unaware of any social cues Ren was giving him. "I don't like kids specifically." he laughed, ammused by Ren's constant attitude, "But looking back, don't you wish there was someone you could have look up to, or relate to when you felt lonely?" Dai shrugged, his happy mood still alive and well "I don't have any siblings, and I didn't really have a lot of actual friends... just people I called my friends, so music was there for me when I felt lonely." Dai shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He was usually the listener, and now all he was doing was talking... about himself. This really was a rare occurrence.
Sighing he rested his chin in his hands, and looked back at Ren, "Did you ever have that thing or person for you? Someone or thing that made you feel less lonely?"

Ren blushed a little, starting to think of the list of people that made him feel 'less lonely'. It wasn't much of a list - but the people on it did make living life worth while. Ren nodded a bit, not sure if he should respond with a rude answer. "There are a few." Ren said quietly but simply. He copied Daisuke's actions and rested his chin in his hands as well.
"How about you?"

"How about you?"
Daisuke had to think about that one. Other than music... what made him feel less lonely? Chiaki flashed into his mind and a small blush darted across his cheeks. His new boyfriend made him less lonely, a lot less lonely, but... that was it really. Sure Daisuke had friends, but no one that he was that close with. "I have one person. Chiaki... but that's really it." Dai smiled, "I mean I have people that are nice to me, but that doesn't make them my friend. You know?"

Ren flashed a smile as soon as Daisuke began blushing. So he did have someone. "Chiaki? I think I've heard that name somewhere." Ren said as he played with his hair a bit, "Is he your boyfriend?" Ren teased as he grinned. It didn't matter if he was, he just wanted to make him feel uncomfortable - and he was usually really good at doing that.
He nodded, and smiled a bit. "Yeah, I understand. There's so many people out there that suck up to me, it's sickening." Ren said while shrugging a bit. "So I just use them so they could buy me lunch and shit." Ren laughed at his own cruelty, "Well, I mean, that's the only reason why they want to be close to me, right? For my money."

"Is he your boyfriend?"
The tall boy blushed, burying his face in his hands. "Yes, he's my boyfriend." His voice was muffled, but it was understandable. Peeking out from behind his fingers, Dai put down his hands calmed himself. "Wait, Ren.. don't you have a girlfriend?" He teased right back. Dai knew he had seen him around somewhere, and now he remembered where. Hanging out with that blonde girl with the thing on her back.
"For your money?" Dai frowned. That was the sort of stuff that pissed him off. Using people and messing with his friends. Two things that would set Daisuke over the edge. He still wanted Ren to explain, but from what he could piece together.. Ren was rich or something and people used him for his money. No wonder he's so... cold. "People suck sometimes." he grumbled quietly.

Ren laughed, surprised that he saw Ayame around with him. "Yeah, I do." He said sort of proudly, not knowing how else to answer. "She's a handful though." He let out a heavy sigh with their hectic memories replaying in his head. "Well, I hope Chiaki's treating you well." Ren took off his bow tie and put it in his front pocket of his blazer. "So how did you two meet?" He pried as he yawned loudly, wanting to sleep.
"Yeah, for my money." He sighed, "But it's alright. I'm not that naive." He gave him a thumbs up while laughing a bit.

Dai couldn't help the goofy 'Aw that's nice' expression that was now plastered onto his face. Ren was so quick to answer and so proud to call Ayame his. It kinda made him feel guilty for not answering back so quickly about Chiaki. Looking at Ren take off his bow tie, Dai quickly realized he himself wasn't wearing one at all. He probably forgot it while getting dressed this morning. Ugh.
"So how did you two meet?"
"Uh, well.. it's a funny story actually. He kinda walked in on me changing... and he promised to go away if we went on a date and then we did and he was really nice and.... Yeah. It wasn't ideal but, I don't regret it." Dai's cheeks were red, but he was happy to be talking to someone about Chi. "How about you? How'd you two meet?"
An audible tsk came from Dai, as he glared to the side. "Sorry, that's just the sort of stuff that gets me angry. That's the only thing I'm not looking forward to to being famous. I hate being suspicious of people."

Ren tried his best to hold in his laughter - but he just couldn't do it. His story was so absurd, he didn't know how to react. "How romantic." Ren said while he was laughing really hard that he was actually tearing up. "Walked in on you changing!?" He repeated his story with a loud voice. That was certainly new. As he calmed down, Daisuke asked how Ayame and him met - and wow, he didn't even remember.
He glanced up to the ceiling, trying to figure it out. The memory was there - it was just... vague. "Ayame and I knew each other ever since we were like... 6 to 7 years old?" He pondered while he tapped his chin, furrowing his eyebrows. "Yeah, we go way back." Ren said, giving up trying to think of what exactly happened. All he knew now was that they were going out, and that's all that mattered. What was in the past stayed in the past, so those memories really didn't matter to him.
"I've been suspicious of people almost all my life, Daisuke." Ren muttered. "It's something I've gotten used to, and something you need to get used to, because you can't just trust anybody that's nice to you." He shook his head, "It's a true pain in the ass."
