Why Ueda Shouldn't Ever Be Heartbroken...
Kame walked into the apartment to hear loud sobs, they echoed off of the walls almost deafeningly. Quickly he cupped his ears in an attempt to reduce the shrill noise attacking them.
"...Uepi?" His eyes widened in shock at the dishelved mess before him. His bandmate looked like he hadn't moved for days, he was even still in his pajamas...
A onesie?
"GO AWAY~!!!" Kame ducked to narrowly avoid a Hello Kitty pillow targeted at his head but remained standing where he was. Actually, he was a bit afraid to approach his forelorn friend.
"Uepii you need to come to work, Johnny-sama-"
"TO HELL WITH JOHNNY-SAMA!" He erupt into another fit of sobs and Kame took the moment to observe the apartment's state. The kitchen was dirty, floors were unswept, blankets were skewed about on the couch, and the TV was playing some Spanish Soap Opera. The owner of the apartment looked just as bad, his hair matted and his eyes puffy from crying. Kame carefully took a few steps forward, almost tripping over a mess of empty ice cream cartons on the floor. He sat down next to Ueda, who quickly pulled him into a tight bear hug, crying loudly into his shoulder.
"Ueda-kun~ What's wrong?" Kame tried patted the other on the head, still feeling a bit awkward with the whole situation. Wasn't Ueda supposed to be the strong one? The one who didn't take crap from anyone? That certainly didn't seem like the bawling sack of sadness currently soaking his shoulder.
"It's-It's-It's Taguchi~" He wailed loudly before reaching for a box of Kleenex on the floor. Kame grimaced as the other blew his nose loudly before hiding his face in the tissue.
"Taguchi-kun?" Ueda nodded, biting his lip in an attempt to regain his composure. This lasted all of four seconds before he broke down again.
"He-He-He got MARRIED!" Kame's eyes opened in surprise. He never knew Ueda like Junno, well, not that way. They had been pretty close during the PV filmings, but he didn't quite expect THAT. How could he? Kame was sure he had heard Ueda saying something about how he loved boobs...
"Ueda-kun...where did you hear that?" Ueda moved from crying into his shoulder to crying into a pillow. Slowly, a delicate finger pointed towards an open magazine on the floor with Junno and some girl plastered on the cover. Kame picked it up and read the article, snorting indignantly at how little truth was in it. All information was vague, and left a lot of room to be disproved. The turtle smiled, knowing he could cheer his friend up with a simple explanation. He turned his head...
...What?
"IT DOESN'T FILL THE VOID!" He watched blankly as Ueda stuffed down crepe after crepe in a matter of mere seconds. Ueda, who had tons of chocolate from the top of his crepes smeared on his face, looked back at Kame before looking down on the floor with shame.
"...Okay. You really need to get out of the house."
"...Yeah."
