nonokame A.N.: This was inspired by some real life stuff, there was a point a few months ago when I was feeling itchy in really random places, turns out it was due to stress. xD I sadly do not own any of the boys… though we all know we’d love to own at least one of them.

The 2nd person this is dedicated to is
cynicalism because I started writing some snark and remembered she had requested RyoShige with “- Snark. Angry Snark. Happy Snark. And maybe some short jokes.” For the fic wishlist meme. I hope you like it~ ^^

“Oi Shige! A monkey can dance faster than you. Pick up the pace!” Ryo snapped after the eighth time the choreographer told everyone to stop because of Shige dancing too slowly.
“Well, not everyone can learn the choreography as fast as you, the almighty King Ryo.” Shige snapped back, rolling his eyes. He went through the movements of the dance, watching Ryo in the mirror as he did so.
“I am the king, and it’s about time you finally admitted it.” Ryo said with a smirk.
“Yeah, the king of short people.” Shige retorted back with a smirk that some of their fellow NEWS members swear could rival one of Ryo’s smirks.
“What did you say?!” Ryo said, his anger level rising.
“Since you also seem to be hard of hearing, I’ll say it again. The. King. Of. Short. People.”
Ryo was about to go after Shige (who had by now retreated behind Koyama), but Yamapi and Uchi had sensed what he was going to do and each had grabbed an arm to hold him back before he could even move.
“Now Ryo-chan, you know better than to beat up your bandmates… Well your NEWS bandmates anyways. You don’t want to make Tegoshi cry by beating up our dear Shige-san, now do you?” Yamapi said, patting Ryo on the head with his freehand, seeing as he was only using one to hold onto Ryo’s arm.
“… Fine. I won’t attack him. But you’d better watch it Kato. I’ll get you back for calling me short.”
“Actually, he called you the king of short people, Ryotan!” Tegoshi said cheerfully, popping up in front of Ryo.
Ryo’s eye twitched in annoyance, but since it was Tegoshi he couldn’t exactly throttle him because well… It’s Tegoshi. So he just forced a smile onto his face and made up the excuse of going to get something to drink. By the time he got to a vending machine (which was on KAT-TUN’s floor. He would have gone to the one on NEWS’s floor but it hadn’t been restocked yet), he realized that he had forgotten his wallet.
Just as he was about to head to the elevator to go back up to NEWS’s changing room, he heard an ear shattering shriek come from down the hallway. The shriek could belong to the one and only Bakanishi Jin. “What in the hell is he screaming about now…? As if he didn’t already alert the entire company of his presence by screaming out Kamenashi’s name this morning because he was trying to get his attention.”
Somewhat curious as to why his baka friend was shrieking again, he made his way down the hall and then he swung the door of KAT-TUN’s changing room wide open.
“Yo morons!” Ryo greeted, and upon seeing the sight of Jin lying on the floor, clutching his collarbone as a very angry Kame sat on his stomach, trying to get at said collarbone, he burst into laughter.
“Nishikido, what are you doing here?” Ueda asked, looking at Ryo over the top of some magazine he was reading.
“Can’t a guy come running to see why one of his best friends was shrieking?”
“Well, because it’s you, I’d say you wouldn’t run to see why out of concern, seeing as instead of trying to get Kame off Jin, you laughed your ass off.”
Tatsuya was interrupted at that moment by Kame, who was speaking in a surprisingly calm voice.
“Now Jin, I’m going to ask you again. Why did you put itching powder on my clothes?”
“…”
“JIN!”
Ignoring the pair, Ryo spoke again.
“Are you out of your mind Ueda? I’m not stupid enough to try and pry an angry Kame off of Jin.”
“So you admit your stupid then?” Tatsuya replied, smirking in amusement at the shocked look on Ryo’s face.
“You… Never mind. Hey Bakanishi, Kame. Can you stop your little lovers fight already? I don’t need my eardrums bleeding because of that damn shrieking, which I swear the whole building must have heard.”
Kame turned his head and glared at Ryo.
“You tell your idiot friend here to tell me why he put itching powder on my clothes.”
“Jin, just tell him. If you’re lucky, maybe he won’t ban you from sex.”
“… Why would he? Kame, you wouldn’t do that would you?!”
Kame turned back to Jin and just stared at him, as if daring him to ask again.
“Ok fine. I got the idea from Ninomiya. He showed me the video of MatsuJun’s reaction and it was totally hilarious, so I decided to try it.”
“Yes, but why me?” Kame asked, a hand at the ready to attack Jin’s collarbone, seeing as he had finally managed to pin his arms down.
“I swear I thought I was pouring it into Junno’s bag, but I guess I got your bags mixed up!”
Kame glared at him again, but said nothing and proceeded to get up and go sit next to Tatsuya on the couch.
Ryo chose that moment to leave, having found out why his baka of a friend had been shrieking. He was also on his way to see a certain Arashi member to see if he could get some of that itching powder. He had an idea.
~The Next Day~
Ryo arrived at work much earlier then he would have liked. However, since he knew for a fact that Shige would already be here and would be too busy sleeping on the couch, it was the perfect opportunity for him.
He snuck over to where Shige’s gym bag was sitting and set down his bag right next to Shige’s, not noticing that they happen to be using the same exact bag. Without thinking, he opened up the bottle of itching powdering, opened what he thought was Shige’s bag, and then proceeded to dump the entire bottle into the bag, not caring that Nino had said that only a little bit was necessary.
He grinned evilly as he put the cap back on the bottle and then tossed it into the garbage can, not bothering to be quiet about it at all.
“Oi! Keep the noise down, will you?”
“Sorry Shige-chan! Did I wake you from your ugly rest?”
“It’s beauty rest, Ryo.”
“In your case it’s not.”
“Why you…”
“Now now, it’s way too early for you to start fighting so shut up and go drink some coffee or something.” Kusano said as he entered the room, tossing his bag at Shige.
“Hey!” Shige said as he barely managed to avoid getting hit in the head with Kusano’s bag.
“I wasn’t trying to hit you with my bag you know, I love you too much to do that~”
“Save the love confessions for Uchi.” Shige said as he threw Kusano’s bag back at him.
Meanwhile Ryo just rolled his eyes at the two and grabbed for his gym bag, opening it up and then changing into his rehearsal clothes.
Little did he know, he was in for a big surprise.
A couple of hour’s later, rehearsal started and NEWS was in the middle of practicing a dance routine. All of a sudden, Ryo started feeling kind of itchy. And for some really strange reason, it was really really hot, and not in a good way either. His movements slowed and they were lucky the choreographer wasn’t there that day or else Ryo would have been getting yelled at for being slow.
“That’s it! I can’t fucking take this anymore!” Ryo shouted, startling the rest of NEWS who stopped their dancing to turn and stare at Ryo who was currently in the process of trying to scratch as many places as he could reach.
“Ryo-chan, are you alright?” Yamapi asked, concerned about his best friend’s actions.
“Yes, Pi. I’m perfectly fine. I’m just doing this for the hell of it.”
“Well, ok then...”
“You idiot, I was being sarcastic! Why the hell would I be scratching myself for no fucking reason at all? I wouldn’t, so shut up and don’t ask me if I’m ok again.”
“Ryo, you shouldn’t yell at Yamapi. He was just concerned about you. It’s his member-ai, after all.” Koyama said, stepping closer to where Ryo was.
“Koyama, take your member-ai and shove it up your ass.” Ryo snapped, not caring about the looks of shock he was now getting from the rest of the NEWS members. Before anyone even had the chance to reply to what Ryo had just said to Koyama, he stormed out of the rooming, muttering a string of curses as he went.
“Keii, are you alright?” Shige asked, going up to his best friend and putting a hand on the other shoulder. Koyama gave him a smile, a genuine one and the look in his eyes was one of understanding.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Ryo must just have something that’s really bothering him, so I understand why he said what he did. He was just really frustrated and he chose to take his anger out on me.”
Shige could only smile at his friend, knowing that that was just how Koyama was, understanding and kind.
“I think we should all go find Ryotan and make sure he’s alright.” Tegoshi said, speaking up from where he was leaning against Massu.
Yamapi nodded in agreement and proceeded to use his leader voice to tell everyone that they should all go find Ryo, starting in their changing room since it seemed mostly like that he’d go there. And Yamapi was right because when they arrived at their changing room, they saw the door wide open from down the hall and they could hear the loud cursing coming from the room, and of course the voice belonged to the only and only Nishikido Ryo.
As they entered the room, the sight they saw was Ryo running around the room, yelling out profanities and butt naked, his entire body covered in red welts. He was trying to scratch at as many of them as he could reach.
“Ryo-chan… What happened to your clothes?” Uchi asked.
“They were so god damn itchy that I had to take them off. Though it didn’t do any good because I’m still itchy!”
“Well, could you at least put a towel on or something? No offense but no one should see you butt naked. At least not at work. What you do outside of work is your own business.” Shige said, looking away from Ryo who had stopped running around the room in favor of trying to scratch his back on the edge of the table.
“Is there anything that you ate that could have caused you to have an allergic reaction? It might explain why you’re so itchy and why your entire body is covered in red welts.”
“And why I’m really fucking hot, and not in a good way either.”
“So what did you eat this morning?”
“I ate what I normally eat, and I know for a fact that I’m not allergic to what I ate….. God damn it! It must have been that itching powder! But wait… I thought I was putting it into Shige’s bag…” Ryo said, going from one topic to another, realizing that maybe it was the itching powder that was causing him to be so itchy, feel really hot and have all these red welts.
“Itching powder?!” Shige shouted. But Ryo ignored him in favor of going over to where he had set his bag down next to Shige’s and it was then that he realized that they had the exact same bags. The only difference being was that one had Shige’s name on it and the other Ryo’s.
“Son of a bitch, I put the itching powdering in the wrong bag!”
“Ok Ryo-chan… Calm down and explain what you’re going on about to the rest of us, will you?” Yamapi said, using his stern leader voice to try and get Ryo to explain what was going on
“… No.”
“Ryo-chan!”
“Fine, fine, I’ll tell you. I wanted to get back at Shige for calling me the king of short people and so I decided to put itching powder in his gym bag, but I got them mixed up and must have put it in my bag by mistake. Now I’m really fucking itchy and… I’m… I’m not feeling so good.” What happened next happened so fast that before anyone could stop him from hitting the floor, Ryo passed out (because Nishikido Ryo did NOT faint, he wasn’t a damn girl).
When Ryo woke up, it was to really bright lights and the feeling of being dressed and… Wait, he wasn’t feeling itchy anymore!
“Yes! I’m not itchy anymore!” Ryo shouted in excitement, sitting up only to lay right back down.
“God damn my head hurts.”
“Well, that’s to be expected since you fainted and hit the floor before anyone could catch you, Ryo.”
“Shige? What the hell are you doing here?”
“I volunteered to stay with you while the rest of the group went to get something to eat. You were out cold for about eight hours after all, so we were bound to get hungry eventually.”
Ryo stared at Shige in amazement, surprised that the other had volunteered to stay with him while everyone else left to get food.
“Why did you volunteer to stay here with me? I’m sure Yamapi or Uchi would have been happy to stay.”
“I did it because I felt responsible for what happened to you.”
“You’re damn right it was your fault… No wait… I’m sorry. I shouldn’t blame you for what happened. It was my own fault for listening to myself after I got the idea to use itching powder from Jin.”
“… Are you feeling ok, Ryo? You just apologized to me.” Shige said, reaching forward to place his hand against Ryo’s forehead to see if the other had a fever.
“I’m feeling just fine, alright. And don’t you dare tell anyone I apologized to you, or I swear I’ll.. I’ll…”
“You’ll what?” Shige said, smirking at Ryo.
“I’ll do this.”
“Do wha…” Shige asked, but was cut off by Ryo leaning up and pressing his lips to Shige’s.
When he pulled away he smirked at Shige.
“Do that.”
“Why you…”
“Oh come on, you know you liked it.”
Shige blushed and looked away, not daring to look Ryo in the eyes.
“I see… So you DID like it. Well then, why don’t you just…” Ryo was cut off from what he was saying by Shige pressing his lips to Ryo.
“Can’t you ever just shut up, Ryo? It’d be much better for the both of us if you did.”
“As long as you shut up with me, then I’d be more than happy to.” Ryo mumbled, reaching up a bandaged arm and putting it behind Shige’s head in order to bring the other closer. Several moments later, the two pulled apart, both breathless from the kissing they had just been doing, and while they said nothing, smiled at each other.
Needless to say, Shige ended up staying at Ryo’s apartment, taking care of the other as all the welts he had on his body healed. Though, he had only meant to stay until the welts had completely healed, but he ended up not leaving at all and eventually just moved in with Ryo.
