Jen's Notes: Uhh... yeah. Me and Ani wrote this fanfic together! XDDD Ani wasn't even planning on writing this but I was on crack... so then I kinda had some weird ideas and thus the fanfic was born! Ani liked the idea too. We had so much fun on this though in one of the scenes, it took us an HOUR to write it. It was probably the fact we were discussing it over the phone and not together. I give Ani most of the credit in writing this. XP You can probably guess which part I wrote for sure. Sorry for the umm... tenses. We both have different styles of writing as you see. *cough Aniishanawesomewritercough* Heehee... Hope you like it! Comments are really appreciated!! ~Jen
Ani's Notes: First fic that was co-written!! It was quite fun. Well, me and Jen were IMing each other, and she was on crack, and started coming up with random ideas, and I was just LMAO because it was so hilarious, and thus, this fic/crack was born! Actually, that scene took an hour and a half! *dies just thinking about it* Yeah, Jen forced me to write most of this...except for like, two scenes that are purely hers. She wrote the beginning too. Screw tenses!!! It's summer, we don't care!! XP Excuse me? *coughJencanwriteawesomecrackcough* So, enjoy~ Oh and it is somewhat connected to my hamster fics...but no really...

At Takaki’s house…
Takaki placed the hamster cage on the floor of his room, ignoring the rodent’s little cries of, Let me out! Let me out! As soon as the cage was safely on the ground, Yabu took Takaki’s arm and dragged him out of the room so the hamster wouldn’t hear.
“Psst! How long do we have to put up with that know-it-all hamster?” Yabu hissed.
“Come on, it’s only for tonight. It can’t be that bad.”
Yabu gave him a ‘have you lost your mind’ look. Takaki shrugged.
“Have you forgotten that hamster can call out grasshoppers, crickets, and mealworms?”
I can call out cockroaches as well if you want~
Yabu whipped around to see the hamster sitting outside his cage.
“No! No freaking cockroaches, grasshoppers, and those other disgusting, icky, gross, creepy creatures at my house for Kami-sama’s sake!” Takaki ran back into his room and knelt in front of the hamster in a begging position.
Don’t worry. I don’t take orders from a skeletal, anorexic mother hen who wears layers of clothing that makes himself look like he has some sort of fatal illness.
“Good,” Takaki nodded. Then he realized what the hamster said. “Wait, no! Yabu isn’t anorexic! He’s just…um…uh…uh…”
Yabu glared at both of them. “I’m just what? And I do not have some sort of fatal illness, thank you very much.”
You don’t? That’s rather disappointing~
Yabu turned over various scenarios in his head, all of which results in the hamster dying in an ‘accident.’
“Uhh… I think I’ll go and umm… the restroom… yeah…” Takaki dashes into the restroom and closed the door.
Now the showdown begins between the skinny ikemen and the cotton ball of doom. A tumbleweed rolls across the screen. Who shall win the battle that decides the new ruler of the world?
Takaki came back out after a few minutes, thinking things might’ve calmed down. Instead, he was hit with an aura of hot, sizzling fire that was brewing between the scrawny teen and the ambitious bundle of fur.
“Why don’t we uhh… watch some TV or play a card game?” Takaki suggested in an attempt to cool down the situation.
Let’s watch Hamtaro!
Yabu rolled his eyes. “There’s no way in hell I’m going to watch that crappy little kiddy's show.”
Takaki crossed his arms. “Me neither.”
I wonder if there’s a family cockroaches living here… the hamster mused.
“I’ve got the DVD’s. Let’s watch Hamtaro!” Takaki said, pasting on a fake but enthusiastic smile.
“That’s called blackmailing…” muttered Yabu.
Huh? Did you say something, scrawny boy?
Yabu looked like he wanted to choke the hamster, but Takaki elbowed him hard in the stomach. “Shut it…You know how much I hate those things.” Takaki looked at him with pleading eyes. Yabu gave in. He couldn’t resist those adorable, brown eyes.
“Fine, fine… I’ll watch it…” Yabu sighed. “For you…” he murmured in an inaudible whisper but little did he know that the hamster had super-awesome-special-hearing skills and was able to hear him clearly.
This shall be interesting…the hamster thought, wheels turning in his head.
They sat down on the floor. The hamster snuck into Takaki’s pocket without letting him know. Takaki inserted the DVD and pressed the play button on the remote control.
“Hey… wait a minute… where did that hamster go? He said he wanted to watch it and he disappears! Why that stup-” Yabu started.
The hamster popped out of Takaki’s pocket at that instant and Yabu stopped before he said something that was going to cost him…something...
That stup? I believe that is not even a word. Can you even speak proper Japanese?
Yabu was about to protest when he felt Takaki’s hand around his, giving him a squeeze. The oldest BEST member sighed, wondering if this day was going to end anytime soon and if he could ignore the butterflies forming in his stomach. He tried to hold back a smile. The hamster suddenly jumped on Takaki’s shoulder, breaking the moment and snuggled against his neck. Takaki squirmed uncomfortably and let go of Yabu’s hand. The leader's face fell when he felt the warmth disappear. The hamster nuzzled against the sensitive skin and Takaki began giggling. He tried to gently shake the hamster off but the hamster had his claws dug tightly into Takaki’s shirt and was basically swinging along.
Can’t I stay on your shoulder? It feels really nice and comfy, the hamster whined.
“No you can’t!” exclaimed Yabu out of nowhere.
And why not? asked the hamster casually, still hanging onto Takaki’s shoulder.
“Because it’s uncomfortable for Yuya,” Yabu answered without thinking.
Oh, so now you’re on a first name basis, huh? Suspicious…
“How is that suspicious?” demanded Yabu trying to calm the fluttering feeling in his stomach.
“Look! It’s my favorite part of Hamtaro!” yelled Takaki.
The hamster gets distracted. Me too! I love it when that happens!
Yabu let out a sigh of relief when the hamster stopped interrogating him. After the episode was finished, the hamster turned back to Yabu. Now to answer your question on why first name basis is suspicious…do I really need to go on?
Yabu opened his mouth but had no idea what to say. Luckily, his stomach made a growling sound loud enough for all to hear.
Takaki took the chance to try and dispel the awkward situation. “Are you hungry, Yabu? I’ll go make some onigiri.” He stood up to go to the kitchen, but suddenly tripped over nothing. Yabu caught him by the waist, but Takaki was heavier than he thought, and his weight dragged them both down. Takaki found himself staring up at Yabu. Time seemed to stop at that instant. Their hearts began pounding at a faster rate and all that could be heard were breaths mingling. Unconsciously, Yabu began leaning closer and closer to him, their lips inches apart.
Suddenly, they both heard a voice saying, Hey…Say…JUMP!
Yabu and Takaki broke eye contact with one another. They look to their right in time to see the hamster running full speed towards them. The rodent takes a leap and headbutts Yabu on his shoulder. The impact pushes Yabu back, away from Takaki.
Takaki starts chuckling. Yabu glowered at other BEST member, aggravated for a certain reason. “What’s so funny?”
“I’m…really…sorry…” Takaki covered his mouth to try to hide his laughter. “It’s just…that was so cute!” He looked over at Yabu. “We should hamster-sit more!”
No, we shouldn’t! thought Yabu fiercely. “Weren’t you going to make some onigiri?” he asked in an impatient tone.
“Oh, right!” Takaki was still feeling amused by the hamster. He got up again, this time without tripping over anything, and left the room.
As soon as Takaki was out of earshot, the hamster looked right at Yabu and declared, We need a talk!
“Eh? What do we need to talk about?” Yabu was definitely not in the mood to have a one-on-one talk with a hamster.
I love Takaki! the hamster announced.
It took a few seconds for those three simple words to register in Yabu’s brain. He said the first thing that came to his mind. “But…aren’t you male?”
First of all, I’m female! I do not know why you assumed I was male. Second of all, you’re male! What’s more, you have these…“feelings” for Yuya~”
“What? You’re female?!” He wonders how a stupid, little, egomaniac hamster knows about feelings.
Indeed! Therefore, I have more right than you do in dating Yuya!
Yabu felt like conversation was starting to go out of control. “You’re a hamster for Kami-sama’s sake! Hamsters don’t date! And don’t call him Yuya!”
You know what they say: Love conquers all!
“Except when it comes to hamsters,” retorted Yabu.
Ah~ getting jealous here, aren’t we?
“What? Why would I be jealous?”
“What’s this about being jealous?” Takaki came in with a plate of onigiri, looking utterly perplexed.
“Nothing! Nothing at all” Yabu answered quickly.
Takaki gave him a weird look. “Are you sure? I could’ve sworn I heard someone say ‘Yuya’…”
Crossing his fingers behind his back, Yabu hoped Takaki would drop the conversation soon. Unfortunately, he couldn’t shut up the hamster.
I merely told Yabu that I am in love with you, and then he started acting all invidious and covetous.
Both BEST members gave him, I mean, her, a blank look. “Huh?”
The hamster sighed. You two are about to graduate and you don’t know what ‘invidious’ and ‘covetous’ means? Shameful, just shameful. What are they teaching you in school these days? ‘Invidious’ and ‘covetous’ are synonyms for ‘jealous.’ Actually, I believe is it even more shameful to feel jealously. You know what they say! Jealous is ugly! In jealousy, there is more self-love than true love. The jealous are a troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves. Envy is thin because it bites, but never eats. Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the savor, but too much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances, can be life-threatening. In other words, jealously is like a mental cancer. The hamster finished with a proud nod.
“Do you have any idea what the hell he’s saying?” Takaki asked in a whisper, not believing what the hamster said about love. The hamster was probably joking anyways.
Thanks to his/her super-awesome-special-hearing skills, the hamster caught what Takaki said, and answered, To put it simply, this bag of bones got jealous at me when I said I loved you and that’s because he lik-
Before the hamster could finish his/her sentence, Yabu grabbed her, (or him) dumped her (or him) out his room, and slammed the door shut.
"Wasn't that going a bit too far? I mean... you just threw Ryutaro's hamster out the door. And if Ryutaro ever finds out, won't he be mad? Plus we won't get to hamster-sit anymore!" Takaki started to reach for the handle but Yabu stopped him by grabbing his wrist.
"I think I had enough of the hamster."
All of a sudden, Yabu positioned them so that he had trapped him in between his arms, Takaki's back against the wall. He was taken by surprise at Yabu's aggressiveness.
"Wh-what do you mean by that?" Takaki asked, blush creeping up on his cheeks. "A-and why did you get jealous of the hamster? He didn't finish what he was saying and I'm curious..."
Yabu leaned a bit closer, eyes peering in Takaki's, and said softly, "Why don't you guess?"
Takaki lowered his head and felt himself getting red as a tomato. "I... I don't want to get my hopes up... because... it might not be the same reason..." He couldn't seem to say it out loud.
"Maybe you should get your hopes up... because... guess what?"
"What?" he whispered, eyes full of hope.
"I like..." Yabu paused for a bit before continuing. Takaki's heart was pounding so loud against his rib cage that he thought Yabu could hear it.
"The hamster," he confessed after a few seconds.
"Ehhh?!" Takaki's eyes shot wide open out of confusion. That wasn't the answer he expected or wished for.
"I'm kidding..." Yabu chuckled. His face quickly changed into a serious one. "I like you..." he stated confidently.
Takaki smiled shyly back and said, "I like you, too, Yabu... though I think it's silly for you to be jealous over a hamster."
Yabu's lips curved into a grin and he brushed away a strand of the latter's hair. It seemed harder for Takaki to breathe when Yabu placed a hand on his cheek. Then he covered Takaki's lips with his own. It was a firm, gentle kiss that made Takaki feel like melting. They stayed that way for a few minutes and finally broke apart, faces flushing.
The moment was effectively ruined when they heard something sniffling. Turning, they saw the hamster back in the room, wiping his nose with a tissue paper and apparently crying his eyes out. The hamster didn't appear to notice the atmosphere had gotten extremely uncomfortable. Not to mention murderous.
That was...(sob)...absolutely beautiful...I have never seen such a touching moment before...(blows nose)....it was more heartwarming than the ending of Titanic...I must relive that scene again!
Somehow, the hamster managed to lug in a video camera and had recorded the whole thing.
"Why is the camera connected to a cell...wait...is that my cell phone?!" Yabu suddenly felt an inrush of panic. His outburst had startled the hamster and the poor rodent's paws slipped.
Um...oops...
"....what did you just do?" Yabu narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
The hamster looked up at him with something akin to an evil glint in his eyes. I was going to push the replay button...but then you scared me....and so it caused me to 'accidentally' push the 'send' button... At that moment, they all heard a mechanical voice say, "Transmission has been completed. Video has been forwarded." The hamster pressed a few buttons on the cell phone. Hmm....Yabu sure knows a lot of people...I think that just got send to everyone in your contacts.
By now, Yabu was wishing he could bury himself somehow. He had practically every Junior in his contact list, as well as almost all his senpai's. The next day was going to be hell for him.
"Wait...so that means...everyone's going to see..." Takaki couldn't finish the sentence. He could feel himself going red again.
Yup! Everyone on this list will be able to watch your love confession! The hamster announced gleefully. It'll probably be on someone's jweb in a couple of minutes too. Speaking of jwebs, I do have a Youtube account...
"Don't you dare!" Both BEST members exclaimed together. Before the hamster could wreck more havoc, Takaki grabbed him (or her) and thrust the rodent back into his/her cage. No sooner had Yabu disconnected the camera from his cell phone then the device begin ringing. It was Hikaru. He was debating whether to answer it or not when Takaki's began ringing as well.
Automatically, Takaki answered. "Moshi moshi?" He was immediately flustered by the reply on the other side. "Eh? No...that was...um...uh...NO! It's not like that..."
Since Takaki was already getting attacked, Yabu decided he might as well suffer with him. It was going to be worst tomorrow anyways. Maybe they should just call in sick...no, wait...if they're both missing, everyone else will get ideas...Taking a deep breath, he finally answered Hikaru, who didn't even give him time to get out a greeting.
"What is this? What is this? Since when were you and Takaki an item? I can't believe you actually had the guts to record that!"
Yabu smacked his forehead. "Shut up, Hikaru! It's all that stupid hamster's fault!"
"What?! You guys confessed in front of a hamster?" Yabu could hear Hikaru relaying the news to...whoever else was with him. He took the chance to hang up on the other BEST member...which immediately began ringing again.
It was going to be one long night.

Since Takaki was already getting attacked, Yabu decided he might as well suffer with him. It was going to be worst tomorrow anyways. Maybe they should just call in sick...no, wait...if they're both missing, everyone else will get ideas...Taking a deep breath, he finally answered Hikaru, who didn't even give him time to get out a greeting.
"What is this? What is this? Since when were you and Takaki an item? I can't believe you actually had the guts to record that!"
Yabu smacked his forehead. "Shut up, Hikaru! It's all that stupid hamster's fault!"
"What?! You guys confessed in front of a hamster?" Yabu could hear Hikaru relaying the news to...whoever else was with him. He took the chance to hang up on the other BEST member...which immediately began ringing again.
It was going to be one long night.
