Reality "drabble"

[pashoshi]

This is so disjointed it's not even funny, but...oh well. I blame my brain for being a strange and confusing place. Also, ignore that bit of totally-not-Pin-related stuff that ninjaed in in the middle.

Yamapi dreams about Jin, standing back to back with him, singing. The rest of NEWS is around them (he can’t tell how many). He feels strangely light-headed, and he doesn’t know if it’s excitement at performing or something about Jin’s back against his, both of them singing with all their might, or if maybe something’s wrong with him, even in a dream. But even with his head spinning, he thinks that maybe this is how it should be.

* * *
Yamapi wakes up to voices, and he thinks he hears Jin, but Jin would never use words like “delirious”, so it must be someone else.

“Will he be all right?” the other voice asks, and he knows it’s his mother.

“As soon as the fever breaks,” not-Jin says. Yamapi wonders who they’re talking about.

* * *
Yamapi dreams of performing again, but this time he’s with 4 Tops in a concert of their own. “I don’t understand,” he says, backstage, and the others laugh at him.

“Don’t be dumb,” Hasejun says. “Who else would you have debuted with?”

Yamapi’s pretty sure this isn’t real, but he doesn’t mind pretending for a bit. Sometimes, sad as that may be, dreams make more sense than the reality.

* * *
“How did he get so sick?” a voice is asking when he wakes up again, and this time Yamapi’s pretty sure it’s Jin.

“I don’t know,” another voice responds (his sister, he thinks, but she’s sounds quiet and far away, so it’s hard to tell). “Mom says it’s because he doesn’t take good care of himself.”

“Idiot,” says a third voice, equal parts mocking, affectionate and worried (Yuu, most likely). Yamapi would be insulted, except that it’s probably true.

* * *
Yamapi dreams about a lot of things. He dreams he’s back in high school, trying to answer a teacher’s question, but unable to find the words. He dreams he’s at the beach, sitting on the shore while the waves crash down on him and he doesn’t know if it’s thrilling or just painful. He dreams that someone’s lecturing him in what sounds like gibberish, and all he can do is nod and agree and hope they let him go.

He dreams of Jin again, that they’re in a unit together. He can’t think of the name, but he knows that it’s real and it’s permanent (really permanent, not like NEWS, not like all the groups he’s been in that never lasted), and he’s happy because it’s Jin, after all, so how could he not be? He dreams of them standing together, facing each other this time (off the stage, of course), with his hands on Jin’s sides and Jin’s lips on his neck and his head spinning in a different way so he has to lean against a wall to stay upright. This, too, he knows isn’t real, but sometimes dreams are better than reality.

* * *
He wakes up with his head still spinning, but the world isn’t foggy anymore. He’s aware of the weight of the blankets piled on top of him, and that’s he’s sweaty and dirty and weak, but he’s okay.

He’s alone in the room, but his phone is next to his bed, and he picks it up and dials the first number in his call history without even stopping to think.

“Pi?” Jin asks, sounding surprised.

“Who else would it be?” Yamapi’s voice is scratchy. He clears his throat and coughs a little.

“Your mom calling to tell me you were dead?” Jin suggests.

Yamapi laughs weakly. “I’m not dead. But I had the weirdest dreams...”

I liked how you worked in these little hints at Pi's career and what could have been.

Anyway, this was love! ♥

I love it. I love it so much. There is something about the way it's written, and of course you know I love your writing style, but this is different. I felt like I was dreaming too and the world was spinning around me. Yes, I love it.

Oh Ilana, I love your fic. I would be more coherent, but I've just had a lot of coffee.
