Dedication: In loving memory of our dear and beloved friend, sylviaunited . She supported Notti and Uchi, and also 8 member NEWS so it’s fitting that this is dedicated to her memory.

“Uchi this is so hard..I see them releasing single after single, and album after album. And you’re getting drama roles and I’m here. I enjoy what I’m doing, I’m studying dance and I’m learning English but…it’s not fair you know? Everyone but me is doing something that the fans are seeing, and it’s not…”
A sigh from the younger man was heard before he continued speaking. “I’m…I’ve got to go, I’ll talk to you later.” A click was heard, indicating that the other had hung up.
After that phone call with Kusano the previous day Uchi rushed to the airport and got on the first plane he could get that was flying to New York. He got into the first cab he could get and in broken English was able to tell the cab driver the address to the apartment Kusano was staying in.
He ran inside, and instead of taking the elevator he ran up the stairs, all the way up to the 8th floor. As soon as he reached apartment 88 he paused to catch his breath, his hand on the wall right next to the door.
He stood up and pressed the doorbell and was surprised to hear the familiar tune of the chorus from NEWS Nippon playing softly from inside the apartment. Then he remembered Notti mentioning something about getting a custom doorbell a few weeks back, and he smiled at the memory and how Notti had refused to tell him what it was, telling him that if he wanted to know what it was, he’d have to come pay him a visit.
Uchi waited, and waited, and waited some more and still Kusano didn’t come answer the door and after trying the doorbell a few more times, knocking on the door and calling the other’s phone, he tried the doorknob and was surprised to find that the door was unlocked and so he slowly opened the door and made his way inside, pausing only to quietly slip off his shoes.
He made his way around the apartment, which surprisingly wasn’t as messy as he had imagined it to be, and as he walked into the living room, which was somewhat messy but was probably cleaner than the bedroom, he saw a rather large, body shaped lump laying on the couch, the tv was on, tuned to some Japanese variety show, but the volume was turned down low.
When Uchi got over to the couch the sight he saw was an amusing one, but upon closer inspection, a sad one. Notti was fast asleep on the couch, and the sad part of it was, were the very obvious tear stains running down the younger man’s cheeks.
As softly and as quietly as he could Uchi sat down on the floor next to the couch. He reached a hand out and gently brushed the hair out of Notti’s eyes, and then he moved onto running his fingers gently over the others cheeks, brushing away what he could of the tears, some of which were fresh.
His fingers passed over Notti’s lips briefly and then Uchi froze as the other moved in his sleep. Uchi sighed in relief when the other didn’t wake up, and then started gently running his fingers through Notti’s hair in a very soothing way, and he didn’t notice the eyes that were now starting to flutter open.
“Uchi?” A groggy Kusano said, his eyes slightly open as he peered up at Uchi from his position on the couch, trying to figure out that if what he was seeing was real or just a dream.
“Sorry, did I wake you up?” Uchi whispered, his lips turned upwards in a soft smile.
“Nah, it’s cool but I gotta ask you something...are you really here, or am I just dreaming?”
“No you’re not dreaming, I’m really here Hironori.” Uchi whispered again, his smile wider this time, amused at the sleepy looking Kusano.
“That’s what I thought.” And the next thing Uchi knew, he had an armful of Kusano and his shoulder was starting to feel wet with tears. He rubbed the other mans back soothingly.
“Hey it’s ok, there’s no need for you to cry. Men aren’t supposed to cry remember? You told me that back in the days when I used to be a big crybaby.” Uchi said, his voice soft, trying to hold back his own tears.
“You’re still a big crybaby Hiroki.” Kusano said with a chuckle, and Uchi smacked him in the head for that comment, but there was a big grin on his face.
“Am not.”
“Are too. Remember last week when you called me crying from Yamapi’s phone about how Shige of all people had sat on your phone and you thought that it was broken.”
“Shut up.” Uchi said with a pout, smacking Notti in the head again.
“Anyways...what are you doing here?” Kusano asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.
“Because after that phone call yesterday I figured you could use a visit from your most favorite person in the world.”
“Oh so you brought Kamenashi-kun?” Kusano asked a smirk on his face, which earned him another smack from Uchi.
“I meant me idiot.”
“Yeah I know, you are my favorite person in the whole wide world, whose right here in front of me.” Kusano said, reaching out his hand and running it along Uchi’s cheek.
“Your damn right I’m right here, and I don’t plan on going anywhere either. I need to make you stop thinking such sad thoughts. You know you being here is a good thing. What you’re learning now are things you can apply to NEWS when you return, when we return.” Uchi grabbed the hand Notti was stroking his cheek with and held it in his own hand.
“You make an excellent point. I’ll be the best dancer in NEWS when I get back, even better than I was before.” Uchi smiled at what Notti said, knowing what he said to be true.
“Well are you going to kiss me or do I need to get you drunk first?” Uchi said, teasing Notti who glared at him before his eyes softened and he leaned forward, brushing his lips against Uchi’s.
“You’ve always been there for me.” He murmured, his forehead resting against Uchi’s.
“I always have and always will be right here.” Uchi murmured back, placing his free hand over Notti’s heart.
“That’s really cheesy you know that right?”
“Like I care, and besides you know you liked it.” Uchi said, chuckling. Notti shut him up by kissing him again. A few hours later both of their phones went off and they groaned in annoyance, when they realized who was calling them. Ryo was calling Uchi, while Koyama was calling Kusano.
“Hello?” They both said when they picked up their phones, their free hands entwined together.
“Open the door Notti~”
“Oi Uchi, why the hell did you leave without telling us?!”
Both rolled their eyes before Notti realized something.
“What do you mean open the door?!” Suddenly the doorbell rang, and NEWS Nippon played throughout the apartment and the two looked at each other and groaned, knowing that on the other side of the door was the other 6 members of NEWS.
OWARI!~ ((As I mentioned above, this was written in memory of sylviaunited, who will always be in our hearts and I hope that everyone enjoyed reading this.))
