"Well...more than a bit, then." Isaac agreed mildly as he stopped at a stoplight. That was good to hear. He was getting somewhere. But he didn't want to dwell on it too much because Pearce would dwell on it too much and that was just bad for both parties involved. And...he did have ulterior motives, but now he didn't have to indulge in them. Believe it or not, he was sort of enjoying this, spending time with Pearce and seeing what kind of man he was before he let his guard down. It was nice, refreshing.

(If he had been privy to Pearce's inner dialogue, he would have jumped up and down for joy and made sure Pearce concentrated on nothing but what Isaac's fingers could do to him for the next...while.

Long while.)

Finally, he pulled to a stop in front of 77 Parc West. This was it then, he turned the key off for a moment and looked over at the man next to him.

"I guess...thanks for today. It was fun," (Although it should be Pearce telling him that instead, actually.) And then Isaac took a deep breath. "I don't suppose I could...ask for a kiss, can I?" Usually he didn't ask, but usually he didn't particularly feel the need to seduce his conductor either.

As the car came to a stop, it dawned on the conductor how long he had been with Isaac today. Something that all started out with a simple phone call. No, something that had all started with a simple audition...it had truly been a long, thought provoking week.

Rei nodded slowly, not quite sure what to say. "It wasn't...unpleasant," he spoke, though the gravity of such a statement probably wouldn't dawn on Isaac. It seemed to rare to talk about this. It almost seemed like a date, which was pushing it. It was supposed to be conductor and concertmaster bonding...

Oh yeah. The confession. He forgot about that.

The kiss question threw him for a bit of a loop though, as his bright eyes widened and a blush quickly appeared on his features. He just had to ask, didn't he? It made the whole thing seem so strange because now he had to think about it.

So he didn't, and in a rather shy, embarrassed and self questioning manner, he mumbled, "as long as it doesn't get your hopes up."

It once again dawned on him that taking the sub way would have been a smarter idea.

It wasn't unpleasant, like this was just some other audition or something. Jesus. That was so like Pearce it wasn't even funny. But Isaac was proud of himself for not rolling his eyes. He'd been a little close, actually.

He wasn't really getting his hopes up, he just wanted tonight to be immortalized in Pearce's head so that Isaac would be running around in his head like some insufferable cockroach that wouldn't go away. But even if, he was proud of how the day ended up. "I won't, not that much, anyway." He just needed the okay for the kiss, everything else would play out just fine on its own.

Isaac was just a bit too good at this.

He reached over and shifted sideways in his seat, taking care to click his seatbelt off first. He was going to kiss Pearce. Now the NY Phil would really all have broken jaws. If nothing else, he really had accomplished something grand today.

Isaac gently cupped the side of his face and noted the blush. He had inspired that...he was going to inspire much more than that...in just a moment. Gently, he let out a sigh before their lips...touched. Isaac felt a strange tingle shoot up his spine. But he moved to slide his hands inconspicuously away...to the one place at the back of his neck that he had discovered earlier.

Maybe...this just might work...

Maybe it would have been better if Rei had just leaned in himself, delivered a light peck and light the night end. Or just give him a kiss on the cheek even and make his escape before he could be told off or argued on how it wasn't what Isaac meant.

Yet it was too late to second guess. In the confined space of the vehicle, the rough fingers that had started the whole thing held his face gently, cold against the heated skin. His eyes were half open, fluttering softly as he wondered just what to do. This couldn't be good after all. What would this lead for tomorrow?

It was just a kiss though and as an adult, he could handle that. He wasn't a teen anymore.

Even when the electricity tickled his nerves as their lips touched and his head tilted ever so slightly, Rei had complete confidence that he would be able to keep thinking. That thought and all others were gone as that sensitive little spot on his neck was touched.

He couldn't think, his mouth parting as the most delicate and erotic of moans softly rumbled through his chest and into their kiss, his back arching into the touch by sheer reflex as he remained oblivious to the sight and sound that he was at the moment.

Well, holy hell, it worked. It...worked.

And that was probably as far as Isaac could go with thinking because who knew just fingers on the spot could make the man man make all of those so, so delicious sounds--

Maybe just for this once, Isaac would thank Matthias, he felt the warmth pool again in his groin (well, guess what Isaac was going to be doing tonight?) He didn't...want it to end, but he--well, this was how he was going to get the upper hand, remember? He remembered, vaguely, and released the other's lips and took his fingers away.

How he looked...arched like that. Isaac only hoped his own lips weren't that swollen, or his eyes gave too much away. But when he opened his mouth, no sound came out. He tried again the second time and somehow managed:

"I...will see you at work tomorrow? Good night." After all, Pearce was the one that said he shouldn't get his hopes up, but since when did Isaac learn the values of playing fair?

In a very strange thought process of deciding on whether to date Isaac or not, Rei had a habit of placing things into the 'pros' and 'cons'. Considering that their kiss was rather innocent, it left to the little categorization of a pro; Isaac had really nice lips.

They were soft and gentle, and fit against his own nicely. It was a thought that made him open his eyes slowly, unknowingly looking enchanting as he just stared at Isaac's green eyes. He also had really pretty eyes...and really pretty fingers. But it was best not to think about this fingers, in any way, until he was sure what he felt and thought about the other.

Not what his lower regions wanted to do with the other, which was a rather specific sentiment he needed to get straight.

"Yeah," Rei spoke finally, picking up his scarf that was resting on his lap before tying it loosely around his neck and smiling softly. "Good night Isaac," he spoke before opening the door and pushing it shut, waving lightly before heading inside the building.

It seemed a complete coincidence as he received a phone call. "Hello?"

"Rei? Is that you? It's Joshua. It's about Isaac."

"...And...what happened to you?" Was the first words out of Matthias' mouth as he let himself in the apartment, Matthias had been fiddling around on some piece or another, but Isaac was a little bit too happy right now to decipher anything.

"I'm happy." Isaac said, smiling so freakishly that Matthias thought his entire face was going to split as his friend shook off his shoes.

"...I can see that." Matthias rubbed his temple, "...Why are you--oh, God, don't tell me. Did you already score? What'd you do?"

Isaac wriggled his fingers at him, "I have fingers. And now, I didn't."

"Are you trying to tell me something x-rated without really telling me?"

Isaac shrugged, "Maybe. I'm going to take a shower. You'll see tomorrow." Tomorrow would be the deciding day, it was proof to the whole string section that Isaac wasn't impotent after all, he almost had Pearce wrapped around his fingers. The thought made him absurdly happy, although his groin still felt too warm, much too warm. That was not exactly a good thing.

"Isaac--"

Turning the key to his apartment, he stepped into the unlocked room before closing it and taking off his coat. "I'm inside now...but exactly why do you want to talk about Isaac? Since when are you two on a first name basis?"

Joshua's laughter echoed through the phone. "We talked during rehearsal and I've been thinking about it more," said the violinist as Rei sat down and absent-mindedly looked through scores.

"And what do you have to say?"

"He's planning something Rei," Joshua warned, a frown evident. "I don't know what...but that kid is far too clever. Keep some distance." Which was great advice considering they'd just snogged in the car.

"He confessed to me if that's what you're on about," Rei spoke, placing a hand against his cheek that he noticed wasn't cooling down. "You wouldn't believe it. He found us, Alice was with me, and while she was playing suddenly confesses," no need to point out he basically questioned him to death about it. "Then we had ice cream and he dropped me off. He's not planning anything."

"Then he has something to gain Rei," Joshua pointed out. "He's a cunning kid who's hiding something...different then what you're hiding. Not a past thing but a hidden intention kind of thing."

"Well what in the world does he have to gain?"

"...That's the part I'm not sure about."

Now, if Isaac knew that Joshua Bell was double-crossing him like that, he would have--he didn't know what he would have done, but it wouldn't have been anything good. But as it were, he didn't know, he took a nice cold shower and stood there under the cool spray until the warmth faded away. They'd kissed, and suddenly, he knew that Pearce capable of so much more...

Besides, it was a little too late.

He put on a t-shirt and sweats, letting his hair hang wet, although his mother would have adhered to some old wife's tale and tell him that having wet hair at night gave you bad luck. He found Matthias in the kitchen sans his violin and looking at him. "What exactly did you do?"

"We...kissed and he's extremely sexy." Except it took Isaac a moment to process that and then he looked vaguely horrified-- "Did I just...say that aloud?"

Matthias' face was a bit unreadable. "...Yeah." And then he fixed his friend with a more serious look, "...It's a bet okay? I don't think the whole orchestra would like it very much if you ended up nailing him on a regular basis." Hell, Matthias was a bit disturbed even thinking about it. Isaac's unpredictability had its bad points.

"And anyway, he's not your type...you can't have someone that takes everything so seriously all the time. I know you." Matthias said, "You'll get tired. You like him now because the chase is fun." Had he created a monster?

"And the chase isn't over yet, so...until then, I'm going to bed."

After Rei had relayed some of the details to Joshua, the man was left humming as the thought about it all for a moment. Sure perhaps Isaac might be upset by this little thing but he only promised to not talk about the fact that they spoke on the phone. He was allowed to protect his friend if he was worried.

"I might be imagining things and maybe he just plans out his seductive techniques a lot more than most," he offered. "Either way, you let him kiss you? That's pretty surprising. What happened to your 'no musicians' rule?"

Rei pursed his lips, not quite happy to be reminded. It was a little thing on his con side. "Don't tell me you're making a pros and cons list."

Silence answered the question as his eyes glanced over the yellow pad in his hands once more. "This phone call only did one thing," Rei groaned out, as he debated whether 'nice lips' and 'nice eyes' should really just be counted as the same point as 'beautiful'. It'd certainly make him feel better.

"...Don't tell me cons is losing."

"Worse," Rei spoke before he threw the pad down and went to grab a glass, filling it partially with an alcoholic drink. "It's a tie."

Rehearsal. Isaac's head was still where he'd left it, although he still looked so absurdly happy that Matthias truly was worried for him. But whatever had transpired last night, was not going to carry on for today, he knew Isaac, but he also knew Pearce, and he knew Pearce would just not even recognize today what had transpired last night. Or maybe...he was just lying to himself. But still, Isaac had said that Pearce of all people was sexy and he still had problems processing that.

"Isaac, it's not like he's going to acknowledge that the two of you went out yesterday," Matthias dragged a final chair to the back of the seconds and sank down in his chair.

"Oh, I know that," Isaac said cheerily.

Isaac was...cheery before rehearsal. Not complaining about how the concertmaster had to set up fifteen minutes before everyone else. That was also disturbing.

"Nothing can get you down today, can it?"

"Probably not." Isaac unpacked his violin, "But don't worry, I'll go back to normal by the time he gets here." Just because they'd gone out last night didn't make Pearce any less of a tyrant, Isaac didn't give himself that much credit. "Besides, I"m guessing no one practiced on their day off..."

Rei went to bed late. Much later than he ever would have liked to go to bed, considering the long argument over a damn list, not to mention the various cups of brandy he had downed to calm his nerves as they analyzed the day. He didn't even want to think of how sour the conversation would have gone if he was talking to York.

Who, according to a gut feeling, he felt like he was going to run into very soon.

It left him cranky, hung over, and in an all around horrible mood.

The spell had been broken, the promise of a one day only first name calling and turn of events that could only be described as movie magic, had ended. They had even kissed. Hell, if memory served him correctly, the violinist had went for his neck and gotten a moan out of him too. Not jumping him in the car his ass.

So while the majority of his phil was here, the room went eerily silent as Rei walked in, the aura of death and headaches clinging to him. He didn't say anything, just organizing his things as he grumbled to himself over the time it took for a bloody aspirin to kick in.

As Matthias prophesied, the young conductor showed up looking like a dark thundercloud. Still, Isaac's expression didn't exactly change, he tuned it down, obviously, as people started walking in, and Matthias couldn't tell whether or not he was feeling a bit down that Pearce turned back to normal. As if last night was really as lasting as Isaac said...he couldn't see any evidence of that.

And the thing was. The thing was Isaac didn't look worried. That was the part that got Matthias worried. Isaac even wore no smile and dared to say, "Hello, Pearce." Like...nothing had happened between them before he gestured to the principal oboist to start tuning up the orchestra.

Heh. Maybe those two did deserve each other. Matthias didn't understand either of them. And he doubted that the two of them really wanted to be understood, either.

Isaac, privately, was a bit peeved that Pearce showed up looking like a dark storm cloud wanting to kill something, it meant that he was harder to catch off guard...

But maybe that was what made it fun. And interesting. At the end of the day, it went back to an interest.

"What are we starting with today?"

Rei merely nodded as Isaac said hello to him. They had talked about a purely professional relationship if anything, with no signs of favoritism...though it didn't help that Isaac was the concertmaster. Either way, if Rei was to consider it, it was going to be outside of work.

It didn't help that Joshua's ending words were still ringing in his head. On how if the violinist was truly going to try and seduce the other, he'd pull out all stops.

'You know, the works. Corner him after rehearsal, constantly stare and undress him with your eyes, just make him feel uncomfortable until he snaps and finds me instead.'

It had him jump at the words before his eyes snapped up and noticed a calm looking Isaac acting like he usually did during rehearsal. Thank god for that too. If things changed...he'd have to turn him down immediately. Outright say it wasn't possible or even an option. Thank god the violinist had ears that listened.

"Sleeping Beauty," he explained easily, though it seemed ironic as he looked anything but happy.

Well, Isaac wasn't stupid. And honestly, since he was more practiced in this business than Rei possibly ever was because he hardly ever took those kinds of things seriously, two could play the game. And if Bell wanted to meddle, he could meddle all he wanted. He reached for Sleeping Beauty and flipped it to the first page. Patricia was looking at him funny, as was Gabrielle. Matthias, for one, was looking oddly displeased.

Please, just because Isaac had said he was sexy once? And it was true, a little too true considering that he had to stand in the shower for a good twenty minutes. Not that anyone but himself would know that.

Not only did he have ears that listened, he also had ears that watched...for opportunity.

And there were going to be plenty of those. "Make sure we watch the entrance to I...and yeah, I think we're good." Well, if he addressed it beforehand, he wasn't going to be blamed for it. It was a little scary how good he got at covering his own ass.
