Summary: Uhhmmm. Maru and Junno moved in together... Ueda pours his heart out and Jin makes a miracle..
"WHAT?!?! God, Koki... I knew you could be such a dumbass! What happened to the 'my eternal love for Nakamaru Yuichi..' ne?" Jin mocked in a way like Koki would always say it during the old times, "You know, if I was Maru, I'd cut your throat.. how could you be tempted like that??" he lectured the younger man.
"Hey,hey.. I told you I just wanted Tat-chan to shut up that's why I did it!" Koki snickered as he defended himself.
"Okay, fine.. But given that, even if Maru does listen to you, do you think he would accept that stupid reason of yours?" Jin answered back wanting to top the argument. Koki looked away as he thought of what the older baka just said.
"Jin, we're here to help, not to argue. Things are already complicated, let's not make them worse." Kame raised an eyebrow as he looked at his stubborn boyfriend.
"What? I'm just saying the truth..." Jin pouted.
"Now Tat-chan, what were you so depressed about anyway?" Kame turned to face Ueda who didn't seem to hear him.
"Tat-chan..." Kame repeated, this time a bit louder.
"..."
Kame moved and knelt in front of the older man and placed his hands on Ueda's knees, "Tat-chan... were you even listening to me?"
"Huh?" Ueda finally went back to his senses.
"He's always spacing out ever since they broke up..." Koki finally butt in and Ueda quirked his lips.
"Broke up?? You guys broke up? And I thought you said that your relationship was unshakeable because you are both matured enough for childish fights and ---" Jin's blabbering was stopped as Kame stood up and covered Jin's mouth with his soft hand.
"Jin... Don't wait until I lose my patience on you..." Kame warned him and Jin nodded like an obedient child.
"Don't mind that baka..As I was saying, why were you so depressed that night?" Kame went back to Ueda and the older man took a deep breath.
"He... he barely had time for me lately..."
"Junno?" Kame sat beside him, listening intently to what he would say.
"He would come home really late and then leave early in the morning. We live under the same roof, yet, we barely see each other. He never told me what he's been up to and he's always so tired... Even tired to make love..." Ueda stopped and bit his lip then continued, "One day when we finally had time together, instead of making up for the lost moments, we wasted it on a stupid fight. I wasted it on a stupid fight..."
"What do you mean Tat-chan?"
Tears strted to well from the corner of Ueda's eyes. He looked at Kame sadly.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it." Kame soothed the older man's back who was on the verge of crying.
"I... I.." he stuttered, "I kinda accused him of having someone else."
"Tsk...tsk...tsk..." Jin shook his head and Kame shot him a glare.
"Akanishi Jin, for the last time..." Kame said firmly and Jin pursed his lips.
"So was he having someone else?" Kame looked back at Ueda whose tears were then slowly falling down. The older amn shook his head.
"He's not.. I know he wasn't. But I said those because I was so pissed and really really mad...and I just... I just... wanted his full attention back..."
"And what did he say?"
"He said he was just busy with work and that he was doing it for me. I don't get it Kame... I never asked for material things. All I wanted was him, his attention, his time.. Is that too much Kame-chan? Is it??"
"Tat-chan..." Kame just gave him a warm comforting hug.
"Maybe he's getting tired of me already... Maybe I'm not a good lover..." Ueda gushed in between sobs.
"Have you told him that you felt that way?"
Ueda slightly nodded, "But it was too late Kame.. that stupid thing has happened when I told him. I explained but then the damage has been done and I can't take it back. I've hurt him already..."
"What did he say then?"
"I don't quite get what he meant but he said that in a relationship love always comes with trust and that we can't go on like that.. And... and.. he said that maybe... maybe it would be the best for both of us if we let go and find ourselves again... and I knew right then that he wanted to break up with me..."
"So you broke up after that..." Kame concluded and Ueda nodded yet again.
"I want him back Kame... I need him... I love him so much..."
"Just give it some time... just give it some time..." Kame hugged him again to make the tears subside.
**********
"This is neat..." Maru smiled as he inspected the small apartment.
"Anou... Are they back?" Junno asked as he placed the rest of Maru's stuff in the room.
"What did you say?" Maru answered as he too. stepped in the room.
"I thought I saw Kame there a while ago."
"Oh...that... Yeah.. they're back.. I wasn't able to chat with them though. I was in a hurry you know. I wanted to get out as soon as I packed... The four of them were there.. it coul've been a reunion if we were present too." Maru smiled...but it was a sad smile.
"You said four? Tat-chan was there?" the taller man asked instantly.
"Apparently..." Maru heaved out a sigh and there was a short moment of silence.
"Anyway, you could take the bed... I have a futon anyway..." Junno smiled at him.
"Eh?? It's okay if I stay on the floor... I'm not your visitor anyway.." Maru tried to decline.
"No Maru, I insist..." Junno flashed his irresistable smile and Maru scraatched his head.
"Fine...you volunteered anyway... Don't blame me if you get backaches for this."
"Hai...hai... But I can always sleep beside you just in case I get a backache, right?" Junno said in a serious tone.
"Huh?" the older man muttered as a slight blush appeared on his cheeks. "Anou.. I'll go cook some dinner..." and so he rushed to the kitchen leaving Junno who also blushed after realizing his words.
"You cook?" Junno followed Maru after a while. The older male was busy chopping vegetables on the table.
"I can cook a few dishes...just enough so that Koki and I could eat properly everyday."
"Thank God... I thought I'll be eating canned stuff and ready-to-eat food for the rest of my life." Junno sighed in relief.
"So you don't cook?"
"Who do you think does the cooking at home anyway? Besides Tat-chan won't even let me touch the stove... He insists I'd burn the house if I get left alone in the kitchen."
"I wonder what Koki has been eating..." Maru murmured as he washed the vegetables.
"You said something?" Junno peered to his side as he helped with the vegetables.
"Nothing.. are you hallucinating or something?" Maru joked as he denied.
"Maybe.. coz I'm really hungry.." Junno grinned.
"Let's cook this then.. My stomach's complaining too."
**********
"If Maru keeps running from you.. there must be some way we can get him..." Kame said as he thought of a plan to fix things.
"Let's just go and meet them first.. Without these two bakas of course... unless you like Maru to run away again.. Let's just know their side of the story.. It would be easier then. I think Maru and Junno would agree to meet if it's just the two of us.. Just don't mention that stuff first when you ask them out.. Make it look like a reunion since we just came back. We could just bring up this situation somewhere in the conversation." Jin suggested with ease.
The three men's eyes widened in disbelief and Jin was still oblivious with his accidental words of wisdom. Kame stood up with a wide smile and placed a quick kiss on his boyfriend's lips. "Good thinking baka! Absolutely good..." Kame shuffled his hair and Jin just smirked with pride.
"Well... tomorrow, we'll start with stage 1." Kame smiled at them with hope in his eyes.
