Oneshot: Plain - Makeup
------------------------------
Kame sighed. It had been a long day, hadn’t it? He, and the rest of KAT-TUN, woke up at 3 in the morning to prepare for LIPS PV, and they had to work their butts off until 8 pm. And Kame, they put on his face this strange gothic-like make-up that made him somehow looked like… Finding no words to describe his state, Kame shrugged, telling himself that was just some strange random inspiration that popped into Kitagawa-san’s head when he planned LIPS.
It surely was a tiring day, and nothing could be more comforting than a good night sleep for Kame. But today was a special day, today marked something extraordinary for Kame’s life. Today… he had got a date with Koki.
Kame slowly trudged his way up his apartment, wondering why he couldn’t just use the elevator for goodness’ sake. Glaring at the unpainted walls and the run-down state of the stairs, he reminded himself that he was just bearing his life in this below-standard flat to hide from crazed fangirls who were willing to risk their own lives trespassing into his former residence.
Finally, Kame panted with relief, after climbing 9 storeys, he reached his top apartment. Examining his shallow pocket, Kame took out a key. He unlocked the door and stepped in slowly.
It was totally dark in here. Of course… but he did remember not turning off the lights when he left this morning. Shaking the idea of a scary blood-thirsty ghost away, Kame strolled in and turned on the light bulbs.
Suddenly, there was a click on the door, and someone was standing there, in front of him. Kame paced backwards, honestly not knowing what to say.
“Akanishi? Why are you here?”
“I need to talk to you.”
Akanishi Jin approached Kame gradually while Kame cringed lower down to the ground, his head tilted in somewhat surprise and fear.
“I’m having… dinner with Koki later. I need to go now.”
“I’m just taking a little bit of your precious time. There is something really important I need to say.”
Kame narrowed his eyes as he realized he had reached the wall, and there was no more space for him to back off anymore, whereas Jin wasn’t showing any sign of withdrawing from his intentions, whatever those were.
“Can’t you just… spend 5 minutes for me?”
Jin, who had finally pinned Kame onto the wall, caught Kame’s hands and cuffed them with one of his above his head. Kame struggled, endeavoured to free himself, but it seemed Jin was probably too strong for Kame’s slender body. The more Kame grappled, the harder Jin tightened his grip, until the time that Kame decided to stop to avoid having deep bruises on both of his wrists.
“What do you want?”
Kame raised his voice, trying to sound brave, but still dreading the idea of staring Jin straight into the eyes.
Jin didn’t answer, his lips didn’t even budge a millimeter. But instead, he moved his hand to his pocket. Kame narrowed his orbs. Knife? Gun? What could he be having in that pocket of his? And Jin, after taking a while to grab the right object, Jin drew out… a hankerchief.
Kame’s eyes widen, not in surprise or fear anymore, but in amusement.
“What do you intend to do Jin?”
Kame could swear he was trying his best to stop his lips from quivering, to restrain a smile from curving.
Jin, who continued to stay silent, raised the hankerchief up to touch Kame’s face. And more to Kame’s self-enjoyment, which he terribly denied, Jin used the hankerchief to wipe off Kame’s white-ish face-powder on his complexion.
Kame tried to struggle some more as Jin’s smooth mini-towel tickled his skin, his inner self was actually wondering what the older guy was doing.
Then Jin started cleaning Kame’s lips, erasing all the marks of dark lipstick that Kame wore for LIPS PV. He moved on the Kame’s mascara and eyeliner, and everything else. Soon, Kame’s whole face was free of foundation and make-up.
Strangely enough to the process, Kame didn’t even try to break out one bit. He was, to be frank, quite nervous. After first, he couldn’t move his muscles because, as he blamed, he didn’t know what Jin was planning. But after that, Kame knew exactly what Jin wanted, and he still didn’t budge.
His mind was whirring, trying to come up an explanation, or rather an excuse for such weak defense. He could say Jin was scaring him, but he himself didn’t even believe that, not to mention his friends. All he could think of was… that he actually liked, and wanted Jin to do that to him.
No matter how much Kame tried to kick the suggestion away from his head, it just appeared clearer and clearer to him. He was still in love with that guy.
Slowly, Jin lowered Kame’s hands, and took out from his magic pocket a tiny something called ‘nail polish remover’. And Kame’s fingers trembled a little bit as Jin took away the black color that used to cover his nails.
When Jin stopped, which meant he made no more moves intentionally, Kame stared at Jin. A big question popped out from Kame’s head as Jin slowly let go of Kame’s sore wrists. Massaging his hurt wrists, Kame’s current interest wasn’t in the injuries. He intensified his stare, urging Jin to give him some explanation. Jin sighed in defeat as a chain of mixed stuttered words came out of his mouth.
“Iasusttryintoclinurmackup.”
Kame was totally confused.
“I was…” Jin gulped in nervousness, probably dreading the thought of Kame exploding like an atomic bomb in utter anger “just trying to clean your make-up.”
He cringed a little away from Kame, getting into the stance of dodging any attacks coming from the younger one. Nothing came.
“Why?” Just a demand though.
“I don’t like the new ‘Kame’.”
“New Kame?”
“Yeah… you’ve changed so much lately Kame-chan. So much that I couldn’t bear to call you Kame-chan anymore, because you are not the Kame-chan that I used to know, that I used to adore so much.”
“What? You mean the make-up? Kitagawa-san forced me to wear it.”
“But you agreed. The Kame-chan I know wouldn’t do anything he didn’t want without a fight. One is that you actually wanted to wear it, two is that you’ve changed into a weak self-absorbed turtle.”
Jin blurted out as Kame tried to chase away the thought that all Jin was saying was the truth.
“What are you saying, Akanishi?”
“See? You don’t even call me ‘Jin’ anymore…”
Jin pouted a bit, giving Kame this familiar, yet so far away puppy eyes. How long had it been… since Jin last gave Kame’s those cute beggy eyes, showing that he really wanted something, and that he just had to have Kame done it for him? Such a long period ago.
“Don’t be stupid Jin…”
“I’m not being stupid!”
“We move on Jin… I have to… uh - change my image to fit the fans’ wants.”
“We move on, alright. But there are things that should just remain intact for the rest of our lives, right Kame-chan? And I’m talking to Kame-chan, the Kame-chan deep inside your heart that isn’t out yet. If you meet him, please tell him that he shouldn’t be afraid to step out anymore, and that I’ll always be waiting for him.”
“You’re acting like a big baka lecturing me.”
“Well, you know what? You’re probably right. But I think you’re even a bigger idiot than me.”
A rare grin turned on Jin’s lips, as he turned away, heading for the exit.
“And Kame-chan?” Jin whispered, his back facing Kame “I like you better when you’re plain.”
Kame fell on the walls again, feeling his weak body slowly sliding down onto the ground. Jin’s figure was walking away from him, Kame tried to reach out, but Jin was too far away. A tear trickled down Kame’s cheeks as he realized darkness had swallowed Jin, and that he was now all alone in this hollowed room… again.
Kame’s phone rang…
“Moshi moshi? Koki?”
“Hey Kazuya? You’re not coming? I’ve been waiting at the restaurant. You really don’t want to be late on our first date, right?”
Kame could sense humour in his friend’s voice, but he had already made up his mind. Fixed.
“Gomen Koki. I can’t go out with you.”
Chuckles stopped on the other side of the phone, Kame closed his eyes and let another drop of tear befall his lap.
“I’m already… in love with someone else.”
There was a series of beeps on the phone. Kame hang up, knowing that he had broken his dear Koki’s heart at that moment, but he had decided to pursue his own destiny, to wager his love in this life-time chance.
Scrolling down his list of phone numbers, Kame stopped at the name that said ‘Bakanishi’. A random chuckled emitted from his lips. Kame pressed the button, praying that his wish would come true.
“I’m in love with you.”
-------------------------------
The next day, Kame went to work without wearing any make-up at all.
Owari.

Opinions on LIPS PV / Making of PV:
Oh, yesterday I watched the making of LIPS, and rewatched LIPS PV, and I realized how much makeup Kame put on his face... Okay, maybe not that much, but this one made him stood out more, and I don't really mean that in a positive way. I don't mean to offense anyone, but doesn't Kame's black-ish makeup made him looked older? I'm not so sure... I just felt that way. XD Especially in this scene.
Oh... and anyone remembered the scene when Koki was holding Kame bridal style, then blew some kisses, then they shot a photo? Suddenly Jin was yelling something and hugging his foot. Could Jin be jealous of Koki and tried to distract Kame's attention towards him? XD *Go AKAME*
Ooh... and there's this scene when Kame was holding Yokoyama's camera... I think. And Jin stood up close to Kame to look at the mirror. But he sat down right after that... Shy Jin XD
I just hate the fact that something's between Akame and restrain them from being close like before :( :( *cry*
I love the part that Maru was doing Ueda's hair~ MARUDA *scream* LOL Cute~
One more question though, why a key strap? (was that even a key strap?) and why the tiny blue item? The little azure thingy surely stands out a lot XD Attractive Jin. I actually thought Jin was the cutest look he could have in this PV, love his white hat~ The first time I had this thought that Jin looked his best was in Gokusen 2 and Yukan Club a few last eps, and Yorokobi no Uta on Music Station XD. GO JIN~
Sorry if the images are so low-qualitied. I screencapped it from some vids on youtube... Credits here, here and here. XD I'm not trying to prove anything, just to demonstrate my points of opinions. ^^
Note: After watching the Making of LIPS, I had this strange inspiration and wrote the fic 'Plain - Makeup'. XD *point upwards of the entry* I couldn't choose between 'Plain' and 'Makeup' so I made both of them the name. ^^
Please comments~
