Ueda keeps pace walking inside a huge and very unfamiliar building, turning his head from time to time, checking from one room to the other, relentlessly searching for Taguchi, but it was not until he walks into the next room that he hears a piano playing.
Slowing his steps upon recognizing the song being played, he listens keenly confirming it’s the same song Taguchi had played in front of him some weeks before. It’s Taguchi’s mom’s lullaby song. Yet evenso, the song seems different. Now, it is somehow darker… it’s deeper but darker, but there’s no doubt that it’s the same song, leading Ueda to think that Taguchi must be the one playing.
He keeps walking and listening at the same time. But the more he walks forward, the more he realizes that Taguchi isn’t the one seated around the piano. Taguchi isn’t the one playing. And with that he stops in front of the door, listening to the person’s playing, taking note of the sheer difference between that person’s sharp notes to that of Taguchi’s. Taguchi’s song gave a cheerful feeling but this person’s is different, he could feel this strong domination flowing from the song. Nonetheless, he could still feel the gentle feeling as Taguchi’s. A gentle feeling so warm it rocks one easy to sleep, feeling safe without fear of anything while listening to the tune. His thoughts are soon interrupted when the person inside the room talks…
“You can come inside”, Ueda jumps in surprise on hearing the sudden invitation. Ueda wonders, ‘how did he know I am standing here?’
“I know you’re out there, boy. Come in.” The voice sounds firm crippling Ueda to do exactly what the voice had asked. Ueda enters the room slowly and that’s when he fully sees the man seated behind the piano. His face looks incredibly similar to Taguchi’s, only taller and his skin more tanned. The man paid him no attention but instead continues to key notes on his piano. Playing the lullaby song, the same song Taguchi had played. And Ueda sees what he’d felt, the domination in the man’s eyes, tamed with a gentleness that equally shows on his gestures, an aura that’s enough to make anyone in his presence feel safe.
“Can you play any instrument?” The man asks him, lifting his head to face Ueda, his fingers still on the piano but on seeing the confusion on Ueda’s face, he says, “my name is Taguchi Ryuunosuke. I’m Junnosuke’s older brother. So, your question has been answered, it’s my turn. Can you play any instrument?” Ueda nods in answer. He stops his playing and now focuses his full attention on Ueda.
“Choose an instrument and play it for me”, he makes his request.
Ueda doesn’t know what is going on, but he just knows that he needs to do what the man asks of him. He walks over and takes the violin, looking at the man before him for some time before he starts playing.
Upon stringing the first note, the others follow easily. Ueda is completely absorbed into his playing. All in his mind are just him, his violin, and somehow... Taguchi. his Taguchi. That makes him more excited in his playing. He just knows that the soul he put in his playing is just right and completely relevant to everything in his mind about the younger. He keeps playing and playing. He only opens his eyes when the song ends, and on opening them he sees Taguchi’s brother sitting on the nearest sofa next to him… staring him down with a powerful intensity, ‘even his eyes is so similar to Taguchi’s’.
“You chose a very good piece, young man. Mozart’s Oboe Concerto. Am I right?” He looks at Ueda, looking for confirmation which is immediately confirmed by another nod. “And it’s pink.” He adds.
“Eh? what is pink?” Ueda finally speaks, confused about what the man had just said. But it seems he just simply ignores the question and instead continues to look at Ueda with a scrutinizing glare.
“So, Ueda Tatsuya-kun, what do you think about my little brother?” Eyes never leaving Ueda’s face. “He is just a weird boy. He smiles all the time. He never objects to anything people asks of him. He is simply a clumsy boy, he can never do anything without people helping him. He is hopeless. What did you see in him that makes you so attached to him?”
Brushing his seemingly harsh words aside, Ueda can somehow feel the gentleness in his voice. “I never think that he is hopeless. In fact, he is the one who encourages me the most. He gives me hope everytime I need it. He never stops supporting me. He’s never a clumsy boy, instead he is the one who his friends can rely on. And I do think you agree with me”, he adds on seeing the man smiling at him as he speaks. The smile was very similar to his litle brother’s. But he doesn’t say anything.
“You play the violin very wonderfully, Ueda-kun. Mozart’s Oboe Concerto usually has a silver aura to most people. But in any special occasion it can be pink too. You are one of them.” He stops for awhile, “It means you are falling in love. The one in your mind when you played that piece, that’s the one you are falling for.”
The man slowly arouse from his seat and walks towards him, putting his right hand to Ueda’s shoulder, “I’m glad that you think that my brother is not a burden for you. I hope you can keep watching over him from now on”, he says smiling before walking away.
But before he could reach the door, Ueda quickly asks, “Why do you know my name?”.
The man turns to face him, “Ryo-chan told me about you and Junnosuke”, he smiles, “Oh, Ueda-kun, please tell Junnosuke not to forget to drink his milk before bed”, and when he’s sure that Ueda is finished with is questioning, he opens and closes the door, leaving Ueda dumbfounded to all of what had just happen to him.
Wait. So, that was Taguchi’s brother. He just asked him to play some random piece only to say that he is falling in love with someone in his mind while he played. And apparently, the one in his mind is Taguchi. So.... he is in love with Taguchi? And that’s not all. He, Taguchi’s brother, just ask him to keep watching over his little brother.
Wow. It’s just wow! Now that he thinks about it, it’s all so relevant. All the possesive and over protective feelings he has for the younger. All the desperate feelings to approach the him. All the craving he got from touching the him. All of that is just leading to one conclusion: He loves Taguchi. And it seems like Ryo knows about this as well as Kame... and suddenly he remembers what Akanishi had said to him a few days ago.
“...oh, don’t you ever have a feeling or a will to protect someone? Like, ‘I want that person to be safe. and I want it to be me who keeps him or her safe, me and only me.’ I know you’ve felt it... you’re feeling it now, right?”
No wonder Akanishi looked so confident at that time. He must have known about his feelings for Taguchi from no other than that devilish boyfriend of his, Kame. From the look of them, Koki and Nakamaru seems to be in the know as well. He ruffles his own hair, How could he have been so oblivious? How could he be the last one to realize his own feelings?
But, did Taguchi know about this too? Wait, talking about Taguchi, he’s the main reason Ueda ended up in this room, searching for Taguchi in needing to explain the stupid misunderstanding he saw between him and Nishikido. He grits his teeth at the thought of Nishikido. He planned this all. Geez.. But that’s not important, he needs to find Taguchi first and force him to explain his reasons for avoiding him.

“Damn you, Akanishi Jin. I will beat you up someday!” Nakamaru curses on being asked to go looking for a new ball to replace the one broken by his big body during a game of catch. “Where the hell should I go looking for a new ball? I don’t even know this place...” That’s when he spots Taguchi.
“Wait, wait, Taguchi. Hey! Where can I find a new ball?” he catches up to Taguchi’s long steps. Now that they are facing each other, Nakamaru could see there’s something wrong with the younger.
“What happen, Taguchi? why is your face so red? And where are you going off to?”
“Uh.. nothing happened, Nakamaru-kun. You can find the balls in the room over there”, he points. “that’s where Ryo-chan keeps them along with the exercise equipment. And, I’m sorry, I need to go”. Nakamaru opens his mouth in wanting to ask more but Taguchi walks away before he could.
“What happened to him?” He however soon shrugs off the awkward meeting and goes looking for a new ball.
Nakamaru sighs contently upon finally finding a ball but almost dropped it upon turning to see Koki standing behind him with an intense stare.
“Uhm... what?”
“I’ll bring the ball” Koki says grabbing the ball from Nakamaru’s hand and walks away from him. Nakamaru becomes confused and runs behind him.
“Wait! Koki. What’s happening to these guys today, like seriously!” He sighs, walking faster to reach Koki. “Koki, hey.. stop. What happened? Tell me, what’s your problem? What was that look?” he sighs trying to calm his heavy breathing racing from Koki’s fast steps.
Yet Koki only stares at everything and everywhere except Nakamaru, and his dodging looks didn’t go unnoticed for within a split second, he feels Nakamaru gripping his shoulder with such force and precision, completely dominating Koki’s line of vision.
“Now, tell me, what’s bugging you?” Nakamaru demands.
“Just promise me that you won’t laugh at me!” Nakamaru agrees, slowing nodding with a confused expression.
“I know it’s abnormal. But is it okay if Iaskyoutogooutwithme?” Koki blurts out, his face deep red. Nakamaru blinks.
“What? Did I hear it right? Can you repeat?”
“I said, Is it okay-“
“Forget it! I will do it for you. Is it okay if I ask you to go out with me?” Nakamaru looks straight in to the younger’s eyes, “It’s been months since I want to ask you this, but...oh well. So, is it okay?”
A bit taken by surprise at the ease of his confession, Koki nods absent-mindedly, silently watching Nakamaru closing the gap between their faces. Nakamaru sees Koki’s anticipation as he closes his eyes, edging forward with their lips only inches away but only to be pulled apart when someone coughs behind them.
“I’m sorry to disturb you, but, by chance, have you seen Taguchi?”, Ueda asks straight faced with his arms folded on his chest. Nakamaru and Koki immediately separate their bodies with Nakamaru pointing in the direction in which Taguchi went.
“Thanks”, Ueda walks away but not too far before he turns around to say, “You guys need to find a room. That would be better, before Nishikido finds you in that position and burns you two alive. Just saying.” He shrugs and continues on his hunting journey, leaving a speechless Nakamaru and Koki.
“That was the most embarassing moment of my life, for sure”, Koki exhales as he makes his way to palm his face but only to be stopped by Nakamaru’s hands, who quickly brings him into a warm embrace, catching his lips into one passionate kiss.
___
Walking from the villa in the direction shown to him by Nakamaru, Ueda could hear Kame and Akanishi shouting to each other on the beach. He walks a few more minutes passing tall palm trees before he finally sees Taguchi. The younger is sitting on the beach, staring blankly at the sea in front of him. Ueda silently creeps up hehind him.
“Found you. Finally”. Taguchi turns his head in surprise on hearing the voice and Ueda soon realizes the younger’s attempt to runaway from him again, but he quickly grabs hold of his shoulder before he could. They struggle with each other, until Ueda trips over his step and accidentally falls with his hands still grabbing Taguchi’s shoulder, causing them to fall together with Ueda almost lying completely on Taguchi.
Ueda soon notices that he’s not in pain and he doesn’t seem hurt. He could feel strong arms circling around his body, protecting him from harm. Ueda slowly lifts himself, staring at the owner of the arms. But upon realizing Ueda’s sharp eyes on him, Taguchi turns his head to the left. “What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be with Ryo-chan, aren’t you?” He mumbles.
“What the hell are you talking about? There’s nothing going on between me and your brother. Don’t you dare ask that stupid question again. And more importantly, why? Why won’t you look at me? What is my mistake? Is there something wrong with me? Why are you avoiding me? Why-“
“Stop.” Taguchi interupts, “Don’t. Don’t blame yourself, Uepi. It’s not your fault.”
“Then why? why are you doing this to me… why are you avoiding me? Explain to me, please!” Ueda demands. Taguchi gulps. Silence follows.
“I did it for you. I’m sick, Uepi. And I’m afraid you will get inffected by my sickness if we’re too close”, Taguchi explains his reasons.
“You’re sick? Is it serious? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? How are you feeling now? Are you fine? Have you been to the doctor... wait!” He suddenly realizes something, “why are you afraid that I’ll get inffected? I mean, why only me? You have no problem with other people, so why am I the only one who can get infected? What kind of joke is this?” Ueda asks impatiently but suddenly realizes Taguchi’s discomfort, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you afraid. But what kind of sickness is this? Why am I am the only one who can get inffected?”
“Because it only reacts when I’m around you”, Taguchi replies.
“What? what kind of reaction do you get?” Ueda curiously asks.
“Whenever I’m around you, everything is different. My heart would beat really fast, my face would get bright red, my body temperature would shoot high, my stomach would twist into uncomfortable knots, and sometimes I feel like there are so many butterflies inside it whenever you look me in the eyes. Like this. Or when it happened, the last time, in my room...you know, when, uhm... when we... kissed.” Taguchi ends it with a very low and uncertain voice. His face deep red. He couldn’t bring himself to look at the other so he awaited Ueda’s reaction. Few seconds passed without him hearing nothing from the older.
“Uepi...” He slowly calls the other, afraid that he may be angry with him.
“Junno,” Ueda finally responds, “Is that really what you feel?” Taguchi nods in affirmation. “Junno. I feel it too. All of that, all you’ve just said, I feel it too. Maybe even worse.” Hearing right to what Ueda just said, Taguchi rounds his eyes in complete fear.
“No way! No way! I did my best to avoid you! I tried my best”, Junno shrieks, “I know it! It must be because of that. Because we kissed, right? All of what I feel are even worse after that. I know it must’ve inffected you too. Oh My God, I’m so sorry Uepi. I’m sorry. You got inffected because of me. I’m sorry. I’m so so-” but he suddenly stops his blabbing upon hearing Ueda’s sudden laughter. Ueda laughs even though still lying on top of Taguchi. Taguchi widdens his eyes in confusion. But he couldn’t help but look at the amused man above him. The way Ueda laughs, he’s enchanted and always has been. He loves the way Ueda’s lips curves and breaks into a cute smile. No, this expression of Ueda’s is the most beautiful sight that ever existed before him. He so marvels at the sight above that he doesn’t realize Ueda had stopped laughing and was not intensely looking at him, watching him.
“What?” Ueda asks.
Taguchi instantly answers, “you look amazingly beautiful when you laugh.”
The response sends Ueda silent. Taguchi, upon realizing his words quickly states, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to -“But the rest of the sentence went unsaid in a second as Ueda lips land on his. Taguchi widdens his eyes at the sudden contact and tries best to free himself, struggling under Ueda’s strong grip on his shoulder, trying his best to pull away from those addictive lips. But his struggle is useless because Ueda strengthens his grip with his left hand on his shoulder, while the other hand goes up to Taguchi’s face, caressing it softly, causing Taguchi to sigh contently… a sure sign that he surrenders.
Ueda keeps carresing Taguchi’s face, reaching for his hair and brushing it softly against his temple, gently tucking it behind his ear, while his lips continue to work on his mouth. Taguchi was entirely lulled by what Ueda is doing to him. He feels comfortable, a comfort that makes him close his eyes, feeling the other’s lips on his. Letting Ueda do what he wants to do with his mouth while he just follows under him, enjoying each moment those lips attack him. They do it slowly for a few minutes until Ueda pulls away for a short second before leaning back in again to nibble on Taguchi’s lower lip for the last time, slowly carresing his face until Taguchi slowly opens his eyes to see Ueda smiling softly at him.
“That. What you are feeling right now, is what I am feeling too. And that is no sickness,” Ueda brings his hand to carress the younger’s face once more, “That means you love me. That means I love you.” On seeing Taguchi’s confused face, he once more quickly but softly kisses Taguchi’s lips.
“I... love...you?” Taguchi asks hesitantly. Ueda nods in confirmation.
“And I love you too”. The older replies before once again closing the gap, kissing each other. This time, they got interupted by Taguchi’s murmuring “I love you” in between the kisses.
“Stop talking, you idiot. Just kiss me already.” Ueda says between placing butterfly kisses all over Taguchi’s face, reaching his jawline and planting kisses on every spot.
“I’m sorry. I can’t help myself, Uepi. Once I say it, I can’t stop.” Taguchi says in between his erratic breathing, feeling the kisses on his face. “I love you. I love you.”
“I know. I love you too.” Ueda answers, still kissing Taguchi’s jaw, keeping pace as he kisses all part of his face, reaching temple, “I love you too, Junno”, he confesses again resting his forehead on Taguchi’s.
“Thanks to your brother I finally know exactly what I am feeling for you”, Ueda tells Taguchi.
“My brother? What did he tell you?” Taguchi asks in concern.
“Junno. I don’t think your brother is cold. No, look,” Ueda quickly says as he sees Taguchi gives out that pained expression,”Look, Junno. It’s just his personality, I think. To be so cold to you, I mean. Because I saw it myself, when he talked about you, I saw the gentleness on his face. I think Nishikido is right in this case. That your brother is in fact the one who cares about you the most”. Ueda stops for a while,”And he asked me to tell you that you have to keep drinking your milk before you go to sleep”, Ueda sees Taguchi’s expression slowly changing into a surprised one.
“He told you that?” he asks, ”No way....” He denies, “No way!”
“What does ‘no way’ mean, Junno?” Ueda asks confused.
“Uepi, there’s no way he would have said that”, Junno looks Ueda in the eyes, “when I was a child, my mom used to bring me milk before I went to bed, and whenever mom would bring me the glass of milk, my brother would grab it away from me, and drink it himself. I thought he hated me back then and he kept doing it until mom got sick.
“But somehow during the time of mom’s illness, there was still a glass of milk in my room every night. It remained that way until my brother and his wife went overseas. I thought it was from onee-chan or Ryo-chan. But it stopped when they went overseas, so it can’t be Ryo-chan, right? It must have been onee-chan who used to do it. But now you’ve said it. How does he know that I still drink milk before bed? Don’t tell me...” Taguchi couldn’t continue his own sentence, he’s too surprised to continue. He looks at Ueda expectantly as if asking him to continue what he wanted to say before.
“It’s from him, Junno. He’s the one watching over you even though he’s so far away. He always has his own way to make sure you’re fine and safe. He loves you.” Ueda says softly, slowly placing kisses on his forehead. He could feel Taguchi’s nod in his embrace.
Lying under palm trees in each other’s embrace clearly made them forget everything and everyone around them. They didn’t even notice the group of people watching.
“Just because onii-san accepts you, doesn’t mean that you can make Jun-chan sleep in such a place.” They immediately turn to see Nishikido standing before them with Akanishi and Kamenashi behind him with wide eyes on seeing Ueda and Taguchi cuddling in such a place and in THAT position - they never shifted position from earlier. “And in that position, too”, Nishikido adds.
Ueda turns his gaze to Taguchi, he had been resting his head on his chest. But as if to mock, Ueda turns his head to face Nishikido, but never lifts it off Taguchi’s chest responding, “Your brother chooses me over you. Don’t be such butthurt, Nishikido”.
Nishikido sniggers, “I would like to watch this passionate show a bit longer, but unfortunately I have something to tell Jun-chan”. Nishikido steps ahead and sits in front of Taguchi. He looks at Taguchi with a soft expression, “Jun-chan, We need to go. As much as you hate him, he’s still your brother. Let’s go?” Nishikido softly asks of Taguchi. One of his hand makes its way caress Taguchi’s hair, while Taguchi only turns his gaze at Ueda as if trying to find his answer from the look in his eyes. Ueda understands what Taguchi is trying to do but only nods to encourage him.
On seeing that, Taguchi slowly opens his mouth, “let’s go, Ryo-chan”. Nishikido smiles at Ueda in appreciation.
____
It’s been four hours since Taguchi and Nishikido sent their brother off back to overseas. Ueda is now standing on Taguchi’s villa porch while Taguchi is fetching them drinks from the kitchen. He looks at Akanishi and Kame doing their best making barbeque. That’s when Akanishi drops a piece of meat on the ground earning him a yell from Kame. Ueda only shrugs on seeing that. Well, at least they try... And Nakamaru and Koki, he haven’t seen them throughout this chaos, which is so unusual for them. Maa... maybe they are continuing with this afternoon incident then.
“As much as I don’t like you, I have to thank you for what you did for Jun-chan”, Ueda turns his head to see Nishikido standing beside him.
“What do you mean?”
“They reconciled. Jun-chan and Ryuu-kun, I mean. Jun-chan hugged him just when Ryuu-kun was about to board the plane and I think I saw him smile, saying words of gratitude to Ryuu-kun. I’ve never seen Ryuu-kun this happy as this afternoon, the same goes for Jun-chan”. Nishikido turns to him, “You did great, Ueda. I owe you so much for that”.
“You don’t.” Ueda murmurs, “You planned this all, didn’t you? You made his brother meet us here. To make sure that his brother gave me a word or two. To make sure that I can understand him enough to tell Junno about his wrong assumption about him. Then you knew perfectly that Junno would eventually understand just how much his brother loves him. You are the one to be thanked. I’m the one who owes you”.
Nishikido smiles.
“Maa... then let’s say we’re even.” Nishikido sighs, “It’s a good thing you guys are together now. I never saw Jun-chan’s eyes shine so brightly since being with you, Ueda. He must be really happy”.
“I’m very aware of that myself”, Ueda says.
“But that doesn’t mean that you are free from my eyes. My threat is still open to you. If I ever sense hurt in Jun-chan eyes... then you’re so dead!” Nishikido threatens.
“I know. I will do my best.” Ueda accepts the threat, making Nishikido widen his eyes in surprise. But then he smiles at realizing the seriousness in the other’s voice.
“I’ll take your word”.
That’s when Taguchi returns with two glasses of cola in his hands, “Eh? Ryo-chan, you’re here too… but I only brought two glasses... I should bring one more. Wait he-”, Ueda begins to object…
“No need. I’m going. Enjoy your time, Jun-chan. And don’t sleep too late, okay?” Nishikido pats the younger on his shoulder.
“Are you sure?” Taguchi asks. Nishikido answers with a wink. Taguchi tilts his head in confusion, taking his place beside Ueda.
“What were you two talking about anyway?” Taguchi asks suspiciously.
“Not this question again, why are you jealous of your own brother? while I’m the one jealous of him when it comes to you?”.
“You’re jealous? Of Ryo-chan?” Taguchi asks in disbelief, his giggling causing Ueda to blush.
”Yeah, yeah... laugh as much as you want. But, hey look at yourself,” Ueda looks startled at seeing what Taguchi is wearing, “Why are you wearing such a thin shirt? What if you should catch a cold?” He asks taking off his jacket and putting it on Taguchi. Taguchi pouts at the subtle scolding.
“But it’s summer. And it’s hot. So this shirt suit the season. Talking of which, how do you manage wearing such a thick jacket in this warm weather? Don’t you feel hot--?” Once more the rest of the sentence went unsaid by Taguchi, because Ueda’s lips brushes softly against his and before he knew it, Ueda fully covers his mouth with his own then quickly pulls away before Taguchi could react.
“Shhh... we’re here to watch the stars, not to argue with each other about the season’s clothing, okay?” Ueda says as they parted, his hands slowly caressing Taguchi’s face, who responds with a nod.
“Good boy,” Ueda says ruffling Taguchi’s hair, “anyway since you told me this afternoon, I’ve been wondering,”Ueda glances at Taguchi who intently listens, “where did you hear that your feelings for me is a sickness?”
Taguchi’s cheeks go red on hearing the question, “Umm... Kame told me”, Ueda’s eyes widens on hearing Kame’s name.
“Kamenashi Kazuya, I’m so going to kill you!!” He mutters against gritting teeth.
Surprised, Taguchi hurries to calm the man, “No. No, Uepi. Don’t do that!!”, but it seems useless because Ueda is already in a fury.
“What ‘no’? He made you avoid me, he made me look stupid, he made us such a wreck -” But now it’s Ueda’s time. The rest of his sentence goes unsaid as he feels the Taguchi’s lips on his, brushing it softly and even shorter than the one Ueda did before.
Taguchi pulls away from the kiss and rests his forehead onto Ueda’s whispering, “shhh... we’re here to watch the stars, not to argue about Kame-chan, okay?”
Ueda could only smile. “You are stealing my words”.
Taguchi shrugs and smiles back at him.
“I don’t think the stars can distract me as much as you just did. Can I just watch you from now?” Ueda asks, eyes intensely looking at the taller.
“Is it okay if I ask you the same question? Taguchi asks grabbing Ueda’s body, pulling him into an embrace… their eyes piercing each other.
“You already know the answer”, Ueda gives him a tender peck, “It’s a ‘yes’”, he says, hugging Taguchi around the neck and brushing his lips against his. Taguchi gladly kisses back.
They spend the night in each other’s embrace, somehow knowing that their story has only just begun.

part1 || part2 || part3 || part4 || part5 || part6
Ueda keeps pace walking inside a huge and very unfamiliar building, turning his head from time to time, checking from one room to the other, relentlessly searching for Taguchi, but it was not until he walks into the next room that he hears a piano playing.
Slowing his steps upon recognizing the song being played, he listens keenly confirming it’s the same song Taguchi had played in front of him some weeks before. It’s Taguchi’s mom’s lullaby song. Yet evenso, the song seems different. Now, it is somehow darker… it’s deeper but darker, but there’s no doubt that it’s the same song, leading Ueda to think that Taguchi must be the one playing.
He keeps walking and listening at the same time. But the more he walks forward, the more he realizes that Taguchi isn’t the one seated around the piano. Taguchi isn’t the one playing. And with that he stops in front of the door, listening to the person’s playing, taking note of the sheer difference between that person’s sharp notes to that of Taguchi’s. Taguchi’s song gave a cheerful feeling but this person’s is different, he could feel this strong domination flowing from the song. Nonetheless, he could still feel the gentle feeling as Taguchi’s. A gentle feeling so warm it rocks one easy to sleep, feeling safe without fear of anything while listening to the tune. His thoughts are soon interrupted when the person inside the room talks…
“You can come inside”, Ueda jumps in surprise on hearing the sudden invitation. Ueda wonders, ‘how did he know I am standing here?’
“I know you’re out there, boy. Come in.” The voice sounds firm crippling Ueda to do exactly what the voice had asked. Ueda enters the room slowly and that’s when he fully sees the man seated behind the piano. His face looks incredibly similar to Taguchi’s, only taller and his skin more tanned. The man paid him no attention but instead continues to key notes on his piano. Playing the lullaby song, the same song Taguchi had played. And Ueda sees what he’d felt, the domination in the man’s eyes, tamed with a gentleness that equally shows on his gestures, an aura that’s enough to make anyone in his presence feel safe.
“Can you play any instrument?” The man asks him, lifting his head to face Ueda, his fingers still on the piano but on seeing the confusion on Ueda’s face, he says, “my name is Taguchi Ryuunosuke. I’m Junnosuke’s older brother. So, your question has been answered, it’s my turn. Can you play any instrument?” Ueda nods in answer. He stops his playing and now focuses his full attention on Ueda.
“Choose an instrument and play it for me”, he makes his request.
Ueda doesn’t know what is going on, but he just knows that he needs to do what the man asks of him. He walks over and takes the violin, looking at the man before him for some time before he starts playing.
Upon stringing the first note, the others follow easily. Ueda is completely absorbed into his playing. All in his mind are just him, his violin, and somehow... Taguchi. his Taguchi. That makes him more excited in his playing. He just knows that the soul he put in his playing is just right and completely relevant to everything in his mind about the younger. He keeps playing and playing. He only opens his eyes when the song ends, and on opening them he sees Taguchi’s brother sitting on the nearest sofa next to him… staring him down with a powerful intensity, ‘even his eyes is so similar to Taguchi’s’.
“You chose a very good piece, young man. Mozart’s Oboe Concerto. Am I right?” He looks at Ueda, looking for confirmation which is immediately confirmed by another nod. “And it’s pink.” He adds.
“Eh? what is pink?” Ueda finally speaks, confused about what the man had just said. But it seems he just simply ignores the question and instead continues to look at Ueda with a scrutinizing glare.
“So, Ueda Tatsuya-kun, what do you think about my little brother?” Eyes never leaving Ueda’s face. “He is just a weird boy. He smiles all the time. He never objects to anything people asks of him. He is simply a clumsy boy, he can never do anything without people helping him. He is hopeless. What did you see in him that makes you so attached to him?”
Brushing his seemingly harsh words aside, Ueda can somehow feel the gentleness in his voice. “I never think that he is hopeless. In fact, he is the one who encourages me the most. He gives me hope everytime I need it. He never stops supporting me. He’s never a clumsy boy, instead he is the one who his friends can rely on. And I do think you agree with me”, he adds on seeing the man smiling at him as he speaks. The smile was very similar to his litle brother’s. But he doesn’t say anything.
“You play the violin very wonderfully, Ueda-kun. Mozart’s Oboe Concerto usually has a silver aura to most people. But in any special occasion it can be pink too. You are one of them.” He stops for awhile, “It means you are falling in love. The one in your mind when you played that piece, that’s the one you are falling for.”
The man slowly arouse from his seat and walks towards him, putting his right hand to Ueda’s shoulder, “I’m glad that you think that my brother is not a burden for you. I hope you can keep watching over him from now on”, he says smiling before walking away.
But before he could reach the door, Ueda quickly asks, “Why do you know my name?”.
The man turns to face him, “Ryo-chan told me about you and Junnosuke”, he smiles, “Oh, Ueda-kun, please tell Junnosuke not to forget to drink his milk before bed”, and when he’s sure that Ueda is finished with is questioning, he opens and closes the door, leaving Ueda dumbfounded to all of what had just happen to him.
Wait. So, that was Taguchi’s brother. He just asked him to play some random piece only to say that he is falling in love with someone in his mind while he played. And apparently, the one in his mind is Taguchi. So.... he is in love with Taguchi? And that’s not all. He, Taguchi’s brother, just ask him to keep watching over his little brother.
Wow. It’s just wow! Now that he thinks about it, it’s all so relevant. All the possesive and over protective feelings he has for the younger. All the desperate feelings to approach the him. All the craving he got from touching the him. All of that is just leading to one conclusion: He loves Taguchi. And it seems like Ryo knows about this as well as Kame... and suddenly he remembers what Akanishi had said to him a few days ago.
“...oh, don’t you ever have a feeling or a will to protect someone? Like, ‘I want that person to be safe. and I want it to be me who keeps him or her safe, me and only me.’ I know you’ve felt it... you’re feeling it now, right?”
No wonder Akanishi looked so confident at that time. He must have known about his feelings for Taguchi from no other than that devilish boyfriend of his, Kame. From the look of them, Koki and Nakamaru seems to be in the know as well. He ruffles his own hair, How could he have been so oblivious? How could he be the last one to realize his own feelings?
But, did Taguchi know about this too? Wait, talking about Taguchi, he’s the main reason Ueda ended up in this room, searching for Taguchi in needing to explain the stupid misunderstanding he saw between him and Nishikido. He grits his teeth at the thought of Nishikido. He planned this all. Geez.. But that’s not important, he needs to find Taguchi first and force him to explain his reasons for avoiding him.

“Damn you, Akanishi Jin. I will beat you up someday!” Nakamaru curses on being asked to go looking for a new ball to replace the one broken by his big body during a game of catch. “Where the hell should I go looking for a new ball? I don’t even know this place...” That’s when he spots Taguchi.
“Wait, wait, Taguchi. Hey! Where can I find a new ball?” he catches up to Taguchi’s long steps. Now that they are facing each other, Nakamaru could see there’s something wrong with the younger.
“What happen, Taguchi? why is your face so red? And where are you going off to?”
“Uh.. nothing happened, Nakamaru-kun. You can find the balls in the room over there”, he points. “that’s where Ryo-chan keeps them along with the exercise equipment. And, I’m sorry, I need to go”. Nakamaru opens his mouth in wanting to ask more but Taguchi walks away before he could.
“What happened to him?” He however soon shrugs off the awkward meeting and goes looking for a new ball.
Nakamaru sighs contently upon finally finding a ball but almost dropped it upon turning to see Koki standing behind him with an intense stare.
“Uhm... what?”
“I’ll bring the ball” Koki says grabbing the ball from Nakamaru’s hand and walks away from him. Nakamaru becomes confused and runs behind him.
“Wait! Koki. What’s happening to these guys today, like seriously!” He sighs, walking faster to reach Koki. “Koki, hey.. stop. What happened? Tell me, what’s your problem? What was that look?” he sighs trying to calm his heavy breathing racing from Koki’s fast steps.
Yet Koki only stares at everything and everywhere except Nakamaru, and his dodging looks didn’t go unnoticed for within a split second, he feels Nakamaru gripping his shoulder with such force and precision, completely dominating Koki’s line of vision.
“Now, tell me, what’s bugging you?” Nakamaru demands.
“Just promise me that you won’t laugh at me!” Nakamaru agrees, slowing nodding with a confused expression.
“I know it’s abnormal. But is it okay if Iaskyoutogooutwithme?” Koki blurts out, his face deep red. Nakamaru blinks.
“What? Did I hear it right? Can you repeat?”
“I said, Is it okay-“
“Forget it! I will do it for you. Is it okay if I ask you to go out with me?” Nakamaru looks straight in to the younger’s eyes, “It’s been months since I want to ask you this, but...oh well. So, is it okay?”
A bit taken by surprise at the ease of his confession, Koki nods absent-mindedly, silently watching Nakamaru closing the gap between their faces. Nakamaru sees Koki’s anticipation as he closes his eyes, edging forward with their lips only inches away but only to be pulled apart when someone coughs behind them.
“I’m sorry to disturb you, but, by chance, have you seen Taguchi?”, Ueda asks straight faced with his arms folded on his chest. Nakamaru and Koki immediately separate their bodies with Nakamaru pointing in the direction in which Taguchi went.
“Thanks”, Ueda walks away but not too far before he turns around to say, “You guys need to find a room. That would be better, before Nishikido finds you in that position and burns you two alive. Just saying.” He shrugs and continues on his hunting journey, leaving a speechless Nakamaru and Koki.
“That was the most embarassing moment of my life, for sure”, Koki exhales as he makes his way to palm his face but only to be stopped by Nakamaru’s hands, who quickly brings him into a warm embrace, catching his lips into one passionate kiss.
___
Walking from the villa in the direction shown to him by Nakamaru, Ueda could hear Kame and Akanishi shouting to each other on the beach. He walks a few more minutes passing tall palm trees before he finally sees Taguchi. The younger is sitting on the beach, staring blankly at the sea in front of him. Ueda silently creeps up hehind him.
“Found you. Finally”. Taguchi turns his head in surprise on hearing the voice and Ueda soon realizes the younger’s attempt to runaway from him again, but he quickly grabs hold of his shoulder before he could. They struggle with each other, until Ueda trips over his step and accidentally falls with his hands still grabbing Taguchi’s shoulder, causing them to fall together with Ueda almost lying completely on Taguchi.
Ueda soon notices that he’s not in pain and he doesn’t seem hurt. He could feel strong arms circling around his body, protecting him from harm. Ueda slowly lifts himself, staring at the owner of the arms. But upon realizing Ueda’s sharp eyes on him, Taguchi turns his head to the left. “What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be with Ryo-chan, aren’t you?” He mumbles.
“What the hell are you talking about? There’s nothing going on between me and your brother. Don’t you dare ask that stupid question again. And more importantly, why? Why won’t you look at me? What is my mistake? Is there something wrong with me? Why are you avoiding me? Why-“
“Stop.” Taguchi interupts, “Don’t. Don’t blame yourself, Uepi. It’s not your fault.”
“Then why? why are you doing this to me… why are you avoiding me? Explain to me, please!” Ueda demands. Taguchi gulps. Silence follows.
“I did it for you. I’m sick, Uepi. And I’m afraid you will get inffected by my sickness if we’re too close”, Taguchi explains his reasons.
“You’re sick? Is it serious? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? How are you feeling now? Are you fine? Have you been to the doctor... wait!” He suddenly realizes something, “why are you afraid that I’ll get inffected? I mean, why only me? You have no problem with other people, so why am I the only one who can get infected? What kind of joke is this?” Ueda asks impatiently but suddenly realizes Taguchi’s discomfort, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you afraid. But what kind of sickness is this? Why am I am the only one who can get inffected?”
“Because it only reacts when I’m around you”, Taguchi replies.
“What? what kind of reaction do you get?” Ueda curiously asks.
“Whenever I’m around you, everything is different. My heart would beat really fast, my face would get bright red, my body temperature would shoot high, my stomach would twist into uncomfortable knots, and sometimes I feel like there are so many butterflies inside it whenever you look me in the eyes. Like this. Or when it happened, the last time, in my room...you know, when, uhm... when we... kissed.” Taguchi ends it with a very low and uncertain voice. His face deep red. He couldn’t bring himself to look at the other so he awaited Ueda’s reaction. Few seconds passed without him hearing nothing from the older.
“Uepi...” He slowly calls the other, afraid that he may be angry with him.
“Junno,” Ueda finally responds, “Is that really what you feel?” Taguchi nods in affirmation. “Junno. I feel it too. All of that, all you’ve just said, I feel it too. Maybe even worse.” Hearing right to what Ueda just said, Taguchi rounds his eyes in complete fear.
“No way! No way! I did my best to avoid you! I tried my best”, Junno shrieks, “I know it! It must be because of that. Because we kissed, right? All of what I feel are even worse after that. I know it must’ve inffected you too. Oh My God, I’m so sorry Uepi. I’m sorry. You got inffected because of me. I’m sorry. I’m so so-” but he suddenly stops his blabbing upon hearing Ueda’s sudden laughter. Ueda laughs even though still lying on top of Taguchi. Taguchi widdens his eyes in confusion. But he couldn’t help but look at the amused man above him. The way Ueda laughs, he’s enchanted and always has been. He loves the way Ueda’s lips curves and breaks into a cute smile. No, this expression of Ueda’s is the most beautiful sight that ever existed before him. He so marvels at the sight above that he doesn’t realize Ueda had stopped laughing and was not intensely looking at him, watching him.
“What?” Ueda asks.
Taguchi instantly answers, “you look amazingly beautiful when you laugh.”
The response sends Ueda silent. Taguchi, upon realizing his words quickly states, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to -“But the rest of the sentence went unsaid in a second as Ueda lips land on his. Taguchi widdens his eyes at the sudden contact and tries best to free himself, struggling under Ueda’s strong grip on his shoulder, trying his best to pull away from those addictive lips. But his struggle is useless because Ueda strengthens his grip with his left hand on his shoulder, while the other hand goes up to Taguchi’s face, caressing it softly, causing Taguchi to sigh contently… a sure sign that he surrenders.
Ueda keeps carresing Taguchi’s face, reaching for his hair and brushing it softly against his temple, gently tucking it behind his ear, while his lips continue to work on his mouth. Taguchi was entirely lulled by what Ueda is doing to him. He feels comfortable, a comfort that makes him close his eyes, feeling the other’s lips on his. Letting Ueda do what he wants to do with his mouth while he just follows under him, enjoying each moment those lips attack him. They do it slowly for a few minutes until Ueda pulls away for a short second before leaning back in again to nibble on Taguchi’s lower lip for the last time, slowly carresing his face until Taguchi slowly opens his eyes to see Ueda smiling softly at him.
“That. What you are feeling right now, is what I am feeling too. And that is no sickness,” Ueda brings his hand to carress the younger’s face once more, “That means you love me. That means I love you.” On seeing Taguchi’s confused face, he once more quickly but softly kisses Taguchi’s lips.
“I... love...you?” Taguchi asks hesitantly. Ueda nods in confirmation.
“And I love you too”. The older replies before once again closing the gap, kissing each other. This time, they got interupted by Taguchi’s murmuring “I love you” in between the kisses.
“Stop talking, you idiot. Just kiss me already.” Ueda says between placing butterfly kisses all over Taguchi’s face, reaching his jawline and planting kisses on every spot.
“I’m sorry. I can’t help myself, Uepi. Once I say it, I can’t stop.” Taguchi says in between his erratic breathing, feeling the kisses on his face. “I love you. I love you.”
“I know. I love you too.” Ueda answers, still kissing Taguchi’s jaw, keeping pace as he kisses all part of his face, reaching temple, “I love you too, Junno”, he confesses again resting his forehead on Taguchi’s.
“Thanks to your brother I finally know exactly what I am feeling for you”, Ueda tells Taguchi.
“My brother? What did he tell you?” Taguchi asks in concern.
“Junno. I don’t think your brother is cold. No, look,” Ueda quickly says as he sees Taguchi gives out that pained expression,”Look, Junno. It’s just his personality, I think. To be so cold to you, I mean. Because I saw it myself, when he talked about you, I saw the gentleness on his face. I think Nishikido is right in this case. That your brother is in fact the one who cares about you the most”. Ueda stops for a while,”And he asked me to tell you that you have to keep drinking your milk before you go to sleep”, Ueda sees Taguchi’s expression slowly changing into a surprised one.
“He told you that?” he asks, ”No way....” He denies, “No way!”
“What does ‘no way’ mean, Junno?” Ueda asks confused.
“Uepi, there’s no way he would have said that”, Junno looks Ueda in the eyes, “when I was a child, my mom used to bring me milk before I went to bed, and whenever mom would bring me the glass of milk, my brother would grab it away from me, and drink it himself. I thought he hated me back then and he kept doing it until mom got sick.
“But somehow during the time of mom’s illness, there was still a glass of milk in my room every night. It remained that way until my brother and his wife went overseas. I thought it was from onee-chan or Ryo-chan. But it stopped when they went overseas, so it can’t be Ryo-chan, right? It must have been onee-chan who used to do it. But now you’ve said it. How does he know that I still drink milk before bed? Don’t tell me...” Taguchi couldn’t continue his own sentence, he’s too surprised to continue. He looks at Ueda expectantly as if asking him to continue what he wanted to say before.
“It’s from him, Junno. He’s the one watching over you even though he’s so far away. He always has his own way to make sure you’re fine and safe. He loves you.” Ueda says softly, slowly placing kisses on his forehead. He could feel Taguchi’s nod in his embrace.
Lying under palm trees in each other’s embrace clearly made them forget everything and everyone around them. They didn’t even notice the group of people watching.
“Just because onii-san accepts you, doesn’t mean that you can make Jun-chan sleep in such a place.” They immediately turn to see Nishikido standing before them with Akanishi and Kamenashi behind him with wide eyes on seeing Ueda and Taguchi cuddling in such a place and in THAT position - they never shifted position from earlier. “And in that position, too”, Nishikido adds.
Ueda turns his gaze to Taguchi, he had been resting his head on his chest. But as if to mock, Ueda turns his head to face Nishikido, but never lifts it off Taguchi’s chest responding, “Your brother chooses me over you. Don’t be such butthurt, Nishikido”.
Nishikido sniggers, “I would like to watch this passionate show a bit longer, but unfortunately I have something to tell Jun-chan”. Nishikido steps ahead and sits in front of Taguchi. He looks at Taguchi with a soft expression, “Jun-chan, We need to go. As much as you hate him, he’s still your brother. Let’s go?” Nishikido softly asks of Taguchi. One of his hand makes its way caress Taguchi’s hair, while Taguchi only turns his gaze at Ueda as if trying to find his answer from the look in his eyes. Ueda understands what Taguchi is trying to do but only nods to encourage him.
On seeing that, Taguchi slowly opens his mouth, “let’s go, Ryo-chan”. Nishikido smiles at Ueda in appreciation.
____
It’s been four hours since Taguchi and Nishikido sent their brother off back to overseas. Ueda is now standing on Taguchi’s villa porch while Taguchi is fetching them drinks from the kitchen. He looks at Akanishi and Kame doing their best making barbeque. That’s when Akanishi drops a piece of meat on the ground earning him a yell from Kame. Ueda only shrugs on seeing that. Well, at least they try... And Nakamaru and Koki, he haven’t seen them throughout this chaos, which is so unusual for them. Maa... maybe they are continuing with this afternoon incident then.
“As much as I don’t like you, I have to thank you for what you did for Jun-chan”, Ueda turns his head to see Nishikido standing beside him.
“What do you mean?”
“They reconciled. Jun-chan and Ryuu-kun, I mean. Jun-chan hugged him just when Ryuu-kun was about to board the plane and I think I saw him smile, saying words of gratitude to Ryuu-kun. I’ve never seen Ryuu-kun this happy as this afternoon, the same goes for Jun-chan”. Nishikido turns to him, “You did great, Ueda. I owe you so much for that”.
“You don’t.” Ueda murmurs, “You planned this all, didn’t you? You made his brother meet us here. To make sure that his brother gave me a word or two. To make sure that I can understand him enough to tell Junno about his wrong assumption about him. Then you knew perfectly that Junno would eventually understand just how much his brother loves him. You are the one to be thanked. I’m the one who owes you”.
Nishikido smiles.
“Maa... then let’s say we’re even.” Nishikido sighs, “It’s a good thing you guys are together now. I never saw Jun-chan’s eyes shine so brightly since being with you, Ueda. He must be really happy”.
“I’m very aware of that myself”, Ueda says.
“But that doesn’t mean that you are free from my eyes. My threat is still open to you. If I ever sense hurt in Jun-chan eyes... then you’re so dead!” Nishikido threatens.
“I know. I will do my best.” Ueda accepts the threat, making Nishikido widen his eyes in surprise. But then he smiles at realizing the seriousness in the other’s voice.
“I’ll take your word”.
That’s when Taguchi returns with two glasses of cola in his hands, “Eh? Ryo-chan, you’re here too… but I only brought two glasses... I should bring one more. Wait he-”, Ueda begins to object…
“No need. I’m going. Enjoy your time, Jun-chan. And don’t sleep too late, okay?” Nishikido pats the younger on his shoulder.
“Are you sure?” Taguchi asks. Nishikido answers with a wink. Taguchi tilts his head in confusion, taking his place beside Ueda.
“What were you two talking about anyway?” Taguchi asks suspiciously.
“Not this question again, why are you jealous of your own brother? while I’m the one jealous of him when it comes to you?”.
“You’re jealous? Of Ryo-chan?” Taguchi asks in disbelief, his giggling causing Ueda to blush.
”Yeah, yeah... laugh as much as you want. But, hey look at yourself,” Ueda looks startled at seeing what Taguchi is wearing, “Why are you wearing such a thin shirt? What if you should catch a cold?” He asks taking off his jacket and putting it on Taguchi. Taguchi pouts at the subtle scolding.
“But it’s summer. And it’s hot. So this shirt suit the season. Talking of which, how do you manage wearing such a thick jacket in this warm weather? Don’t you feel hot--?” Once more the rest of the sentence went unsaid by Taguchi, because Ueda’s lips brushes softly against his and before he knew it, Ueda fully covers his mouth with his own then quickly pulls away before Taguchi could react.
“Shhh... we’re here to watch the stars, not to argue with each other about the season’s clothing, okay?” Ueda says as they parted, his hands slowly caressing Taguchi’s face, who responds with a nod.
“Good boy,” Ueda says ruffling Taguchi’s hair, “anyway since you told me this afternoon, I’ve been wondering,”Ueda glances at Taguchi who intently listens, “where did you hear that your feelings for me is a sickness?”
Taguchi’s cheeks go red on hearing the question, “Umm... Kame told me”, Ueda’s eyes widens on hearing Kame’s name.
“Kamenashi Kazuya, I’m so going to kill you!!” He mutters against gritting teeth.
Surprised, Taguchi hurries to calm the man, “No. No, Uepi. Don’t do that!!”, but it seems useless because Ueda is already in a fury.
“What ‘no’? He made you avoid me, he made me look stupid, he made us such a wreck -” But now it’s Ueda’s time. The rest of his sentence goes unsaid as he feels the Taguchi’s lips on his, brushing it softly and even shorter than the one Ueda did before.
Taguchi pulls away from the kiss and rests his forehead onto Ueda’s whispering, “shhh... we’re here to watch the stars, not to argue about Kame-chan, okay?”
Ueda could only smile. “You are stealing my words”.
Taguchi shrugs and smiles back at him.
“I don’t think the stars can distract me as much as you just did. Can I just watch you from now?” Ueda asks, eyes intensely looking at the taller.
“Is it okay if I ask you the same question? Taguchi asks grabbing Ueda’s body, pulling him into an embrace… their eyes piercing each other.
“You already know the answer”, Ueda gives him a tender peck, “It’s a ‘yes’”, he says, hugging Taguchi around the neck and brushing his lips against his. Taguchi gladly kisses back.
They spend the night in each other’s embrace, somehow knowing that their story has only just begun.
