Summary: Johnny wants Akira to Shuji makes a comeback.
A/N: This fic is written for my dearest friend, romapi . Dear, hope you’ll enjoy this and do forgive me for twitching your requested plot a bit.
They were once; Shuji to Akira. Formed at their peak, temporary unit that unexpectedly became the talk of the town; they were phenomenal.
Back then, Kame was still the skinny and awkward boy, slowly stepping out from Jin’s shadows. Yamapi on the other hand, who blessed with idol’s traits; was the ideal Johnny’s Junior the other boys dreamt to be, right from the beginning.
They were different, but they shared the same goal; to be at the top. And they did reach it, despite the emotional backlash, countless sleepless nights and lonely tears.
Now, they are simply Kamenashi Kazuya and Yamashita Tomohisa, working hard at what they love the most.
But things have been tough lately. Especially for him
“Hey you” the guy in his proud vintage jeans and plain t-shirt greets with an easy smile, carefully stepping away from the expensive car he has been leaning on.
He returns the nod with a vacant smile “You’re here. I guess, he told you already.” pulls his car keys and playfully toying with it, averting his eyes away from his guest.
“Yeah he did” Kame replies with a nod.
Looking up expectantly; imploring into those dark brown orbs “So? Did you accept?”
The silence has never been that deafening.
Then with a soft smile on his thin lips, Kame asks instead “Ne Pi, are you free tomorrow?”
*****************
“Kame, what are you trying to do?” he gasps, slightly panicking when Kame stands over the dumpster, climbing the yellow brick walls and jumps of it.
“Quick, before the guards notice us” Kame calls from the other side.
“No. I’m not breaking an entry with you” he replies in a hush voice, straining his sight at all directions, worried someone might jumps on them.
“It’s too late Pi. The guards are on your way now” Kame replies calmly, despite the soft whistle blowing coming their way.
“Fuck Kame. Fuck you” he curses as he pushes himself over the walls, and falls not-so-gracefully on the ground “What the fuck are we going to do now?”
Laughing merrily, Kame reaches for his wrists and drags him away from the wall “Don’t worry, I know the way” heading to the main building; ignoring the frantic whistling. Kame leads the way, rushes through the empty corridors, climbing the fleets of stairs, before he halts mid way and pulls his partner in crime into a small room “On the floor, now.”
Sprawling on the floor, pulling themselves into a human ball under the wooden table; Pi curses between his greeted teeth “I’m so, going to kill you.”
“Shh… He’s here” Kame puts his delicate finger on Pi’s lips, listening carefully to the urgent footsteps, rushing through the corridor. They stay in complete silence for few minutes. Then, Kame cautiously wiggles himself up from their hiding “I think the line is clear now.”
Kame extends his hands to him, and he eagerly accepts, clutching it hard, purposely “Did Johnny asked you to create cheap publicity doing illegal things?”
Chuckling to the question, Kame pulls his hands and playfully touches Pi’s nose “You’re getting so uptight lately.”
Displeased with the answer, he wraps his arms around himself in protest “And you’re annoying.”
A devilish smile slowly appears at the corner of Kame’s mouth as he walks to the middle of the classroom “Don’t you remember?”
“Huh?”
Kame turns around and winks “This was our classroom, Akira-kun.”
“Ehhh?”
******************
Despite all the efforts dodging the security guard, they were caught on third floor, while trying to get to the rooftop. But, lucky for them, the old guy is pretty much aware of the school history and gladly let the two idols have their ways; with a free autograph for his granddaughter, of course.
“Nothing seems to change much” Kame freely leaning over the green fence, looking down at the empty assembly area.
“Honestly, I don’t think they are maintaining the place properly” scrapping off the old paints from the wall.
Kame shakes his head instead and about to say something when his eyes caught the sight of a familiar wooden table at one of the corners “Is that our table?”
“I doubt it” Pi replies hesitantly.
Then, seeing the condition of the furniture, Kame shrugs “It’s not.”
“Kame, why are we here?” Pi finally asks, leaning on the old walls, slowly enjoying the soft spring breezes gazing his cheeks.
Kame pursed his lips as he approach, leaning his back next to him “Are you happy?”
A question he doesn’t have the answers too.
************
“This used to be the soy shop, right?” he points at the modern looking laundry mart.
“I believe so” Kame pulls his car and carefully stops it in front of the shop.
Few passerbies are looking at them suspiciously. Noting the possible problem they might have to endure, he ushers Kame to move on “Why can’t you drive a normal looking car? How are we supposed to go unnoticed when you’re driving a shiny black sport car?”
Stepping on the accelerator, Kame smirks mockingly behind his posh shades “Sorry. I’ll be more careful on our next date.”
Rolling his eyes, Pi divert his attention to the beautiful scenery appreciatively “It’s such a beautiful town isn’t it?”
“Yeah. We used to take our bike for a night strolls on those pavement” Kame points at the empty roadside “We were so young back then.”
Chuckling to himself, he replies “I’m still young, you know”
Kame nods in response, taking another sharp turn “And you’re still foolish as well.”
“Hey, what that supposed to mean?” his hands freely slaps Kame’s laps.
Shaking his head, Kame lets the questions subsides with his musical laughter.
They stay in comfortable silence, enjoying the smooth ride and breathtaking scenery. Then he breaks the silence, voice quivers slightly “Is it a wrong decision?”
Kame’s honey brown mane ruffles as he shakes his head “Nope! Unless you have doubt in your heart…”
He sighs in slient, lowering the window, inhaling the fresh air “Where are we going now”
Kame then shuts the air-condition off and lowers his own window “To the beach.”
**********
“Don’t you think it’s weird, for two adult guys, walking side by side at the beach?” Pi asks, scanning the empty beach cautiously for any prying eyes.
“Don’t you think you’re wasting your time worrying over such stuff?” Kame replies instead, kicking the white sands happily “You used to be so carefree before.”
“I grow up” his answer laced with bitterness.
“Such a pity” a sad smile curves on Kame’s lips.
Not knowing how to answer, he looks up at the open sky and trying to hide his emotions.
Kame then pulls out a stripes blanket from his duffel bag and spreads it open. He then lay down on his back, signaling to him to join. He refuses at first, but denying Kame has never been his strongest skill.
They then let the silence filling the gap, admiring the orange shades sky instead.
Then, cautiously Kame speaks up “I’ve declined the offer.”
Carefully turning towards Kame, he asks “You did?”
Kame gives a soft nod “And you should too.”
He turns back, facing the bright sky, mumbling under his breath “I know.”
“Are you scared?” Kame asks, his hand carefully reaching for his.
Accepting the warm touch, he let their fingers entangle “I am. I never thought going solo will be this terrifying.”
“And you thought having Shuji to Akira comeback will help?” Kame tightens his hold.
Shaking his head slightly, he admits in softer, hesitant tone “I don’t know.”
“Ne Pi…Now is your time to shine as Yamashita Tomohisa. And you’ll do great, as you always have” Kame’s convincing voice, soothes his wavering heart. Then Kame adds quietly “And no matter what happen, I’ll be by your side…You’ll always be my Akira”
“Is that a confession?” he teases; finally feels the huge burden being lifted from his heart.
“Maybe” Kame replies in between laughter. He then slowly sits up, hands still clasps together “Do you know, there’s an old saying, said that falling in love is like drinking sea water.”
Pushes himself up as well, staring straight at the calm sea “Nope, haven’t heard of it.”
“Coz drinking sea water will make you more thirsty, So, it’s like when you fall in love, you’ll want more and more” Kame replies with a knowing smile.
“Ah I see…But I have a solution for that” he answers, cautiously leaning closer towards the other “Won’t it be easier just to jump in it?”
Kame turns facing him, their nose inches away from each other “Care for a swim?”
“I would be delighted” he replies, couldn’t hide his smile.
But before he could say further, Kame jumps to his feet and kicks off his shoes “The last one to get into the water is going to pay for dinner.”
“Cheapskate” he screams from his spot, wiggling his shoes off. Then, while chasing Kame into the cold water, he mumbles under his breath “Thank you, Shuji.”
