I haven't done one of these in ages, but I abused Cyn enough that I felt it'd only be fair, lol. stealing format from melonpaan because i am much too lazy, tired to think of anything myself. XD

1. Comment with a pairing/fandom & a prompt ( Read more... )
(I would technically never cast Ryo in this AU, but it was the first thing I thought of for this prompt.)
"Just--" Ryo gasps as Maki slowly inserts her hand into the hole in the middle of his chest. Her face is a combination of concentration and trepidation.
"It'll be okay," she murmurs, and Ryo knows, because he designed this whole thing and he knows that this stray wire will not ruin anything or kill him, but he lets her say it anyway. It seems to calm her down more than anything.
"Just make sure not to--" he starts, but Maki's already pulled the wire full out of the hole along with the magnet at the end. "Oh. Well."
Maki's eyes go wide, panic quickly filling them. "What just happened? Why is everything beeping?"
"I'm about to go into cardiac arrest, nothing big," Ryo manages, but he can already feel his breath quickening. He doesn't want her to know though, wouldn't ever want her to realize. "Just put the replacement in and it'll be okay."
Maki acts quickly and carefully, replacing the device and they both let out a big sigh of relief when the machines stop beeping. "See," Ryo says with an awkward smile. "I told you it wouldn't be too important." Maki's expression is a combination of exasperation and relief.
massumaki. silver tiles.
(oh hay, i might've reread Temporarily Complicated yesterday.)
"No."
Massu sighs and puts the silver tiles onto the table. "I said the same to Tegoshi, but he won't budge."
Maki purses her lips. "We could always give him those living room curtains he wants."
"That flowery mess is better than silver tiles?"
"You'd think the flowers would call to you," Maki quips as she looks over his obnoxiously red, orange, yellowed flowered pajama pants.
"Cool to wear, not entirely sure how it works as furniture. I'd rather the silver to the curtains."
"But silver? What would our bathroom be? A discotheque?"
Massu can't stop laughing for a good two minutes.
tegomassuki. three's company.
(Oh hai legit Tegomassuki)
"We should move in together!" Tegoshi greets when he strides into the green room.
Both Massu and Maki look up from their respective sheets, look at each other, then right back to their sheets.
Tegoshi frowns, dropping his bag near the couch. "What? It's not like we don't spend a lot of time at each other's apartments anyway."
Maki sighs, putting down her papers. "Tegoshi, you know that if you're having problems..." The words trail off, but Maki doesn't have to continue them.
"That's not it! I was just watching something where three people were roommates and they were having loads of fun and I thought we could do that too!"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure this would be an awful idea," Massu says. "I think we see each other too much for this to work."
Tegoshi frowns. "Just you watch."
It's months later when they're told that for a week, they'll be living together for a tv show. Massu and Maki exchange looks when they find out the news, before turning to Tegoshi. Tegoshi looks a little too interested in the papers in front of him, a suspicious grin on his lips.

Temporarily Complicated *happy sigh* I should reread that too. But I loved this. And I swear only you have the power to make me feel so much love an nostalgia for NEWS. I love Maki's quip about his clothing and the discotheque bathroom. Because if anyone would have one of those, a JE boy would.
TEGOMASSUKI. *happy happy sigh* I forgot how amazing they were together. And the idea of them living together for a whole week. More of this, yes? :D :D :D

awwww, i totally get nostalgic for NEWS sometimes too. And well, i reread it, but I also reread all the comments which always make me super wibbly with that fic. :)
TEGOMASSUKI. I miss them so much. LOL to the idea of them living together. Although they do that in Temporarily Complicated, but different dynamic, lol

♥ you deserved every comment and thensome on that stunning piece of writing.
Different but I guess similar, since Tegoshi would still want a discotheque bathroom. LOL.

Most of Maki would like to stay in her own room during this whole process, except there's a camera in there too. There are a frightening amount of cameras in their apartment, and it annoys her to no end that Tegoshi had convinced someone, or even spoken to someone about the idea.
It must be obvious because their manager pulls her aside before they leave the van to start their new life (at least for a week). "I know this isn't what you'd like to be doing, Maki-chan, but unfortunately--" he trails off, but Maki knows this speech. She's heard it in different forms and about different things, but it all boils down to "this is your job, this is your responsibility."
Maki pulls on a smile. "I understand." When she hops out, she makes sure this smile stays on.
That is until she has to go to the bathroom. It's the only room in the house that does not have a camera.
It becomes a bit of a refuge for them, the three of them meet inside the bathroom for a break from all the eyes. They're not technically on them, but the idea that any of their daily activities--eating, having drama night, singing--could be televised for all to see stares to wear on them after the second day.
"I'm sorry," Tegoshi tells them on the third night. "I--I just thought it'd be so much fun living together, and I wanted you both to see that too."
Massu sighs, sitting on the edge of the bathtub. "I'm sure it would be. Just not so much in front of cameras is all."
"Maybe we should make the best of this," Maki suggests. "I mean, it's only four more days. We can do four more days. At least we weren't made to do challenges, or forced to live in a certain way. All they told us to do was be ourselves, have fun."
Tegoshi grins. "And Tegomassuki has all the fun, right?"
"Of course!" Massu cheers, putting his hand in the middle of them. Maki giggles and puts hers on top of Massu, then Tegoshi puts his on top of hers. "Tegomassuki!" they all cheer.
Maki gets up, but pauses at the doorknob. "You know, I never realized how weird this must look to the cameras."
"What do you mean?" Massu asks, eyebrows furrowed.
"Well, the three of us enter a bathroom at the same time. Stay there for a bit and then come out together. Wouldn't you think something suspicious is going on?"
Massu and Tegoshi laugh. "No way!"
(A few months later, when their special is finally aired, Yamapi calls her during the third commercial break. "What were you guys doing in that bathroom?!"
Maki giggles into her phone. "For me to know, you to not," she sing-songs before hanging up.
Massu raises an eyebrow. "I feel like that's just going to make him come here."
"Well, maybe that was the plan," Maki says with a grin.
Tegoshi shushes them both, eyes glued to the television. "It's coming back!"
"We lived that," Massu retorts. "It's not like you're going to find any surprises."
"But this is different," Tegoshi argues. "Now shush.")
