The Only Colour Better Than Black Is Transparent Chap 8
A.N. Is this update considered late? If it is, I'm sorry.... but good things take time darlings XD JunDa will prevail!
“I tried to read the position of the car by GPS but it said the damn things were untraceable so I got suspicious… now look at this!!!” Ryo shoved the edited ‘news’ article in Ueda’s face, “He took off in my car back home about two hours before this article was written so what are the chances that someone else from Tokyo Uni crashed an expensive foreign sports car in Sagamihara?!”
“…Why would he be driving your car?” Ueda skim read the article and refused to believe the worst.
“I LENT IT TO HIM!!!” Ryo wailed, “I tried keeping him in my house until you two cooled off but he kept on crying that you hated his guts, I got pissed off so I lent him my car to drive home! I should have guessed that the idiot can’t handle a car that powerful…”
“…are you serious?...” The ‘reality’ sank in.
He’s… because of me… he’s…. no…it can’t be. I have so many things I haven’t told him… this can’t happen. Not now…
“NO SHIT!!” Ryo carried on a monologue, “HE LOVED YOU!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?! Oh my god I can’t even- It sounds all good on paper but hell someone is probably DEAD because of you! How do you plan to clean up this mess before Heaven finds out?!”
“Heaven won’t find out,” Ueda stood up like a robot and grabbed the nearest jacket hanging on his couch, “because I’ll find him and bring his sorry ass back to life even if it kills me.”
Mission complete!! Ryo did a little Oscar presentation to himself in celebration of his flawless lying. Just before Ueda rushed past him, he managed to pick-pocket his cell phone just to be on the safe side.
As he watched the Aston Martin disappear from view though, he began to question himself.
Since when do you play the good character? This was a perfect chance to get rid of that human once and for all from Tatsuya’s life yet you didn’t…. Ryo Ryo Ryo. You’ll regret this one day for acting to fulfil a prophecy. He’s supposed to be all yours yet you gave him away.
Too bad. What’s done is done.
[Sagamihara, Kanagawa]
The only good thing in this grim day was the fact that Ueda didn’t have to pay the windscreen wipers on his car per swipe - or he’d be a very poor man indeed. To say that the rain was bucketing down in a gale was the biggest understatement of the century, and Ueda was driving his car at 140km/h right through it. According to the laws of motion, the raindrops were hitting his windscreen relative to his car at over 190km/h and his windscreen wipers were not being of much help despite their overtime working.
He could understand why ANYONE would crash in this horrid weather, not just Junno.
Junno… be okay… PLEASE God let him be okay…. I’ll do anything…
In truth, the road to Junno’s family home was supposed to be a one-way street. However, in his state of mind, Ueda was by no means ready to be a law-abiding citizen. He needed to make sure that Junno wasn’t actually in his own house before he was allowed to officially lose his mind. The intensity of his emotions were running wild, and even an angel could do nothing to supress them.
Headlights doing little to carve through the sheets of rain, Ueda turned them off and slowed down slightly as he entered the residential area so as not to seem suicidal. That is, if 70km/h could still be counted as slow in a 30km/h street.
Another set of headlights came the right way up the street.
It made no attempt to stop for him. The driver probably couldn’t see the silver Aston through the rain due to Ueda’s non-existent headlight beam. The two cars drew closer and closer - both drivers floored their brakes just before a head-on collision became unavoidable.
The offending vehicle was a red Lamborghini.
Utterly shocked, Ueda paid no heed to the pounding downpour and jumped out of his own car, leaving the door open. He approached what looked like Ryo’s car with great caution, almost scared that it would disappear like a dream if he moved to fast. Rain was pouring down his face, into every nook and cranny but he didn’t care.
The window on the driver’s side was fogged but Ueda didn’t dare knock. Instead, he readied himself for a stranger’s face and tore open the door, letting it swing open as far as possible.
The man sitting inside was no stranger… strangers didn’t pounce at you as soon as they see your startled face.
In a flash, Ueda was pushed to the asphalt, Taguchi Junnosuke stuck to him like superglue.
He let time pass by for a while, savouring the sweetness of the moment. Nothing could possibly make him happier than knowing Junno was alive - alive and probably not mad at him anymore. As the rain drummed a rhythmic symphony on everything in sight, Ueda could only stare straight ahead and thread his fingers through Junno’s soaked hair.
I’ve never lost anyone I know to death before… You will not be the first if I can help it.
“I… I’m sorry…” Junno stuttered after an eternity, “I’m sorry for being so inconsiderate and taking you for granted Ueda-san. Can you forgive me? Can we start over? It’s just that I love you so much and I don’t know what to do if anything happened to you… I really-
“Brat.”
“Huh?” Junno drew them apart, “Brat?”
“Yep,” Ueda smiled lightly, poking Junno’s forehead with his forefinger, “Brat. What am I supposed to say after you took all the words out of my mouth? And aren’t you supposed to be dead?”
It didn’t take long for Junno’s IQ of 184 to figure out the meaning behind those words. “Ueda-san… do you…”
“Shut up,” Ueda sounded less than scary, “I didn’t have a choice. If I did, I wouldn’t have chosen to fall in love with you in a million years! Now, are we getting out of here or do I have to hit you with my car and throw you in the boot?”
“I’d die for you Ueda-san,” Junno put his arms around Ueda’s neck and pulled their faces together, “I’d do anything for you.”
“Ew. Sapfest!” Ueda pretended to choke, but ended up laughing like a child, “If there’s one thing you can do for me, it’s to stop wearing tight pants!” Pure happiness wasn’t an urban myth either, by the looks of things.
“I KNEW you were a closet pervert!” Junno gave Ueda a daring peck on the lips, “And there’s plenty more where that came from!”
Instantly, Ueda’s face morphed into the colour of ketchup. “You crossed the line!” he declared, pushing Junno backwards and ruffling the other’s hair for all he’s worth. Amongst the laughter, splashing and rain, a tender moment arose.
Both stopped their movements, closed their eyes and lent forwards intuitively.
Even rainwater tasted sweet as their lips locked.
[The next day, Tokyo, Ueda residence]
“YOU!” Ryo sat sourly on Ueda’s couch like a cranky judge, “I help you get your love life on track and you left my car in Kanagawa?!”
“I wanted to drive it back but he wouldn’t let go of me,” Ueda shrugged and pointed to Junno, who was still latched on to his arm, “Something to do with never letting go till eternity ends. Plus, he’s already put a dent in it so you wouldn’t want him driving it back cos no way am I letting his NEAR my Aston.”
One could almost see the words ‘watch your back tonight because I will try and kill you’ begin to appear on Ryo’s forehead. “He WHAT?!”
“Ueda-san!!” Junno was mortified, “You PROMISED you’d never tell him!!!”
“What am I supposed to do then?! Tell him I was the one who backed into a bright yellow concrete wall in broad daylight, with a car that has a reversing camera? I have a reputation of BRAIN CELLS, unlike someone!” Ueda smirked, “And eye cells.”
“It was RAINING!!!” the dancer moaned, “And I didn’t mean to~”
“God help us all if you TRIED to destroy my car!!” Ryo was on the verge of tears, “Why oh why must I endure this torment? My poor baby, all alone in Kanagawa with no family or friends, enduring the harsh-
“Go buy another car!!” Ueda’s short temper took over, “Use the damn credit card!!!”
“Thanks mate!” Ryo’s instant recovery to a cheerful, glittery grin showed Ueda that stupidity was contagious. How did he not see that was a trap to get him to pay for another car?
I’ve spent too much time around this idiot….
‘Summary of my human life in the past month. It is the middle of May, exactly 45 days since the beginning of my stay. So far I have Ryo running up my credit card bill (illegally) towards the heavens, an Ethics professor who has The Eyes whom I have not killed, a lecherous idol who has his perverted eyes on my leech and a boyfriend (the leech) who’s knocking on my bedroom door, demanding that he be allowed access to my bed. Judging by the pillows, bottles and tubes he had with him before I kicked him and locked him out, the idiot wants to fornicate with me by propping my hips up with all our pillows and using artificial lubrication.
I think I’m turning human… I’m tempted to let him in AND let him top.
Good God, am I a sinner?’
“Ueda-saaaaaan~” Junno was still knocking, “Why won’t you let me in?...”
“I’m not ready for all of this yet!!!” Ueda scribbled the last words of his will. If I let him in, I’ll get worked to death tonight…
“I guess I’ll have to let myself in then!” Junno shouted before opening the door smoothly.
Giving out a ‘GAH!!’ in surprise, Ueda hurried to cover his bare top half and shuffled backwards on his bed.
If the fact that his pyjama pants had sheep print wasn’t embarrassing enough, they were also purple.
“How did you get in here you stalker!!!” he threw a pillow at the grinning man. He missed by miles.
“You didn’t even lock the door,” Junno smiled triumphantly, “I was just staying outside to be polite. I like your pyjama pants! How did you know purple was my favourite colour? And can I put my shampoo in your bathroom?”
Oh. So THAT’S why he has bottles.
Love does strange things to one’s head. In the span of one day, Ueda had gone from being perfectly sane (?) to not being able to turn a lock the right way, hiding every inch of bare skin and feeling giddy whenever tall idiots come close.
“Of course I know your favourite colour,” Ueda huffed, “you’re gay.”
“I think you know because you researched everything about me after you kicked Nishikido-san out,” Junno’s smug look was beginning to spread to his entire being, “he told me all about it! You really love me as much as I love you, don’t you Ueda-san?”
“I refuse to say those disgusting words again,” the angel pulled a face, “at least, not when you’re perving at my nipples!”
“PLEEEEEASE??????” Junno whined, “I need them on tape so I can listen to them when you’re not here to tell me every day you love meeeee!!!!” He covered his eyes, “see? I’m not perving anymore~”
Love does do strange things. But Ueda Tatsuya still had enough composure to speak his mind.
“I’m tired and confused my dearest,” he seethed, “CAN’T YOU JACK OFF QUIETLY AND GO TO SLEEP?!... retarded nymphomaniacs these days…”
He didn’t think Junno would ACTUALLY understand the word ’nymphomaniac’.
Thus, to comfort a CRYING retarded nymphomaniac, Ueda had to cuddle the thing to sleep. In his purple, sheep print pyjama pants.
Theological question of the month: Does love HAVE to be synonymous with utter humiliation?
But to be honest, seeing the cute little snuggle Junno does into his pillow is worth the utter humiliation.
The angel’s eyes softened. He leant closer, feeling Junno’s warm breath on his face and playfully blew a strand of stray hair away.
Then pecked his lips, turned off the light and went to sleep blushing like a schoolgirl.
A.N. YAAAAAY JunDa happiness!!!! At least, a form of happiness LOL
