Challenge 116: Christmas Drabble Tree
Nobody wrote again this week, so I'm trying something else for the next (also, yes, I failed to do this on Friday again, sorry
( Read more... )
It had been hurry up and wait all day, as the lighting and camera crew worked out the kinks on a still new set, but although Kis-My-Ft2 were his kouhai and therefore not entitled to complain (and in fact were accustomed to this sort of thing anyway), Yamashita couldn't help but be embarrassed; he didn't have much experience in the variety circuit of the industry, and felt horribly useless. He tried to sound like he knew what he was talking about as he handed out drinks from the vending machine and told them that it wouldn't be long until they could go back on set.
"Oh, it'll take longer than that," Kitayama said, as an intern rushed past with a box full of light bulbs. "We should probably all take this chance to get some stuff done."
Apparently Kisumai didn't even need him to say so, because already Fujigaya was warming up his voice, Tamamori was pulling out a drama script (Yamashita could recognize that in barely a glance), and the others were digging sundry items out of their bags to occupy themselves with.
"...I guess it'll be a while," Yamashita said belatedly, in a sheepish voice.
Kitayama smiled and looked at the rest of his group, already settled into the most comfortable corners of their green room, before nudging Yamashita out the door with one shoulder. "There's a conbini just around the corner of this building, come with me. We'll have just about enough time to get back with snacks before Senga starts begging everyone for food."
For a moment, Yamashita worried about being allowed out, but Kitayama had a glib tongue and an ingratiating personality, and it didn't take more than a casual salute to the security guard at the studio doors before they'd successfully managed to slip out.
"A little scared of freedom?" Kitayama asked, with a penetrating glance at him and a teasing smile.
"Scared of you leading me astray is more like it," retorted Yamashita. For good measure, he gave Kitayama a gentle shove on the shoulder, which Kitayama returned almost instantly. Goofing off was easy to do with Kitayama's assurance and easy laughter to take him back to their high school years, when being friends and equals had come before any senpai/kouhai considerations at work. By the time they arrived at the conbini, they were both flushed with laughter and trading friendly insults.
