It’s been so long since he had called him that nickname. It was only between the two of them before, but since Okura’s fans call him, ‘Tacchon,’ Yasuda became a bit conscious about it.

No, it wasn’t out of perception; there was a basis behind it. Even the other members noticed that Yasuda seems to avoid him now, but there is a person who is really affected-Okura himself.

It was few years ago since the Spirits concert. During the MC, Okura told him that having that nickname is okay, but he’s fine being called by his last name. Yasuda only laughed about it because he thinks that Okura was only shy about it.
After the Spirits concert, the other members went to their dressing room and took a shower. Okura calmly sat down on the sofa and sighed. He was really tired after the concert. He got his mp3 player and started to listen on their songs until two people entered inside the dressing room it was Shibutani and Yasuda.

“Yokatta~ the concert is already done!” said Shibutani in a loud voice, having that huge smile on his face. It wasn’t obvious that he was tired.

“Shibuyan, you don’t need to say that loudly. Tacchon is having a nap,” Yasuda assumed. Okura smiled as he removed the earphones on his ear, saying in reply, “Idiot, I’m not sleeping.”

Yasuda looked at him closely and said, “Really? But you look so sleepy.”

“I said I’m not,” he stated with a smile on his face. He never admits it, but he ignores other people whenever he is with Yasuda. He is the quietest member among the Kanjani8 members. He is indeed an introvert person which sometimes, other people misinterpret it as “cold.” But for some reasons, he is starting to be tenderer whenever he hears Yasuda’s voice.

“I’m done with my shower~” said Hina who went out of the bathroom immediately.

“Me too,” Yoko and Maru said together.

“Ah, yokatta na~” Subaru said as he stood up and got his towel, “It’s our turn now.”

“Sou da. Ne, Tacchon, let’s go?” Yasuda said.

“E-Eh?” Okura stuttered as his eyes widened.

“Let’s go…like, shower together,” Yasuda replied.

Okura immediately stood up and yelled, “What are you thinking, pervert!”

“Huh? What’s perverted about that? We’re all guys!” said Subaru, trying to stop himself, chuckling. Okura looked at Yasuda and said, “A-Ah…right. But let’s wait for N-Nishikido-kun for him to be with us, ne?”

“Nishikido went home already,” Yoko said.

“What?”

“He was rushing. He seems to have a date,” Maru grinned.

Right, Nishikido is that kind of guy. Because of it, Okura didn’t know what to say.

“Ne, maybe you’re bothered about our MC a while ago,” Yoko teased.

“Now you don’t want to be with Yassan? It’s your chance!” Hina whispered. Okura pushed the two a bit and said, “What are you thinking? It’s not what you think.”

“That’s right, stop making fun of him,” Yassan said.

“I’ll just take my shower after you,” Okura said coldly. He got easily pissed when the two members teased him.

“Are you sure you won’t be with us?” Subaru said. Okura nodded and went out for a bit.

He started to find himself a bit strange. He leaned on the wall and sighed. He didn’t realize that he was already reflecting for half an hour. Someone came and looked at him, asking, “Tacchon, what’s wrong? Everyone left already.”

It was Yasuda who was innocently asking him. Okura looked away and said, “Nothing.”

“I…I see. If you want to be by yourself, then I’ll let you ne?” Yasuda smiled as he went back. But Okura stopped him and held his wrist tightly. Yasuda started to be mindful and looked at him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Listen, it’s because of your juvenile behavior why some people make fun of me. It’s better to stop calling me like that,” Okura impatiently said.

“Eh?”

“It’s better not to call me Tacchon. To be honest, it’s starting to be annoying,” he replied without looking at him, “And I hate your strange fetish when it comes with giving nicknames. So stop it. Not all people like that.”

Okura said those words reluctantly. He couldn’t understand himself, either. Why is he saying such thing to Yasuda? He wanted to stop himself but he can’t. He heard Yasuda sniffing. He gave a sarcastic smile and said, “Sorry…it was just a joke. Don’t be so serious-”

“You’re starting to be weird,” Yasuda said as he looked at him. Okura noticed
“I understand,” he said, “Sorry for being such an annoying kid.”

After he said those words, he pushed Okura and went back in the dressing room, slamming the door. He puts his palm on his face and said to himself, “What’s happening to me, either?”

Since then, Yasuda didn’t call him ‘Tacchon’ anymore even though other members call him that way up until now. Yes, he still talks to him but not as much as before.

~♥~

A couple of years later, Okura was still suffering inside. Yasuda often smiles and greets him normally, but the distance between them seems to be more far than before. Even though they worked in some dramas together, they were pretty ordinary to each other. Better yet, Okura misses those times they were together.

He was the only one I can talk to. Because of my everlasting smugness, I’ve ruined our bond.

Those were the things running onto his mind. As they were in a magazine interview, he wasn’t listening to the questions of the interviewer. At that time, he was interviewed together with Yasuda.

“Okura-san, what do you think?” the interviewer asked.

“E-Eh?” Okura said.

“Okura-kun, don’t stare at a blank space. We’re being interviewed!” Yasuda whispered.

“Ah, okay…what was the question?” Okura asked the interviewer.

“Is there anything you wish to say to any member of the group?” the interviewer asked.

“Uhm…” Okura said as he looked at Yasuda. Yasuda looked at him back and said, “W-What?”

He laughed a bit and said, “I’ve been hiding this before and up until now, I’m still bothered. I think I’ve hurt someone’s feelings because of my carelessness. I want to apologize to this shortie whom I have hurt before.”

“Okura-kun…” Yasuda said in a soft voice.

“So, why is it that so?” the interviewer asked.

“Random reasons,” Okura smiled.

~♥~

After the interview, everyone went into their manager’s van. As Yasuda and Okura were still preparing their things in the dressing room, Yasuda laughed a bit and asked, “What was that?”

“Hmm?”

“A-About the magazine interview a while ago…” he bashfully replied.
“Oh…yeah,” Okura said. There was a few seconds of silence until Okura held his hands and said, “I’m sorry for being rude to you that time. I couldn’t understand myself. My mind was in chaos…as well as my heart.”

Yasuda was a bit astonished. He wasn’t like the normal Okura he knew-an introvert and quiet person who never tells his real feelings. He wasn’t like the unpredictable and calm person like before.

Yasuda smiled a bit, thinking that it was only a simple prank together with the other members and said, “Stop saying that. What’s this about? A practical joke?”

“I’m serious, Yassan,” Okura said.

It was the first time that he called him by his nickname which made Yasuda said, “I thought you don’t like-“
“Who cares now?” Okura said, “Maybe the reason why I couldn’t understand myself, it’s because my heart is starting to be stolen by someone whom I’ve never thought he did.”

“Who?” Yasuda asked.

Okura gave him a warm smile and said, “You.”

Yasuda’s heart began to beat fast and said, “D-Don’t say such thing. That isn’t true. Stop playing o-on me ‘cause I’m the type of person who easily believes-”

Okura made the atmosphere silent by pressing his lips unto his. Yasuda couldn’t talk because of being surprised. Afterwards, Okura smiled and said, “Now do you believe me?”

“I believe in you, Tacchon.”
