“Kamenashi you are still not ready yet?”
Kame groans, turning his head towards his dressing room’s entrance. His manager, Nakamaru is flashing him a worried look before widening his eyes in shock.
“Kame! Your eye bags!”
Kame furrows his brows. “You’re too loud Yucchi.”
“Taguchi, do your best job to cover them okay? I don’t want Kamenashi here to look like a zombie in his photo shoot.”
The taller man that had been standing beside him just grins and nods his head. “Yes sir.”
From the corner of his eyes, Kame watches his manager and also his good friend closes the door behind him and takes a sit beside him in front of the dressing table.
“What had happened Kame?”
“Can’t sleep,” he murmurs under his breath.
“I think I know that, but the reason?”
Kame tilts his head, not sure if he can tell the older man about it. Yucchi can be worrywart sometimes.
“Kame’s worried because he had done something stupid last night.”
Kame gasps in disbelief, turning his head to glare at the taller man. He had forgotten how KY and straightforward Taguchi could be, but realizing that his glare wouldn’t even affect the grinning man, Kame huffs and turns back to look at the mirror.
“What did you do?” Yucchi eyes him closely before he gasps, eyes widen comically in panic, the older man says, “Don’t tell me that when you are kissing Shiraishi-kun, someone had caught your picture?”
“No!” Kame growls tetchily. “I’m not that careless.”
“It is worse than that Maru.” And before Kame can stop Taguchi from saying anything further, the other had beat him to it, “Kame is cheating on Shiraishi-kun with Jin.”
Kame looks at Yucchi nervously. The other had a look of pure disbelief on his face and as expected, the older man gives out a loud, “WHAT!!!!!!!!!!”
Kame winces at the loud reaction and in defense; he replies back as loud as the other, “No, I’m not.”
“Well, they’re not sleeping together though, just making out.”
Kame had been always a calm patient person but that day, he had lost it for he steps up from his seat and gives Taguchi a hard kick on the shin.
“I know that I shouldn’t have talk about it with you.”
And as always, Taguchi will never retorts anything back but just smiles and pats him on the head.
“It is just Maru, Kame-chan. It is not a big deal.”
Kame pouts indignantly, “But he’s a nag.”
“Hey! I can hear you clearly you know and I am not a nag.” Maru huffs loudly.
“Yes you are,” both Kame and Taguchi says it the same time and the horrified look on Yucchi’s face is so funny that he forgets his problem for a while and laugh.
And when he finally stops laughing, Yucchi is looking at him in displeasure and Kame knows what the other is going to ask.
“So what are you going to do now Kame?”
Kame sighs and bits his lower lip. “I’m not sure myself.”

“Running away is not an option.” Ueda suddenly comments, leaning back against the sofa.
Jin glances up and shrugs, “I’m not running away.”
His friend just smirks and gestures at the luggage at the corner of the studio. “That is not mine, so it must be yours.”
Jin feels himself blushing by the remark. Other than Pi, Ueda is also someone that is mostly impossible to lie to.
“Yeah, it is mine. It is just a luggage. It doesn’t mean anything.” He replies nonchalantly but deep inside he could feel his heart beats furiously against his ribcage.
Ueda puckers his lips thoughtfully, “Really? So why are you putting it there? You are still staying with Kame aren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“And why are you putting your things here?” Ueda narrows his eyes at him skeptically, “Are you planning to stay here Jin? Well, it is not that you can’t but the reason? We are not that busy with work that you have to sleep here.”
Jin bites his lower lip nervously. He really hates it when Ueda starts to ask question. It is more like a mental interrogation. Sometimes he thought that the older man is better ought being a police than a musician.
“Jin?” Ueda raises his brows, and Jin can feel the mocking look the other was giving him.
I’m not going to bend to his will, Jin noted to himself but it seems to be that Ueda is exuding a very oppressive aura, forcing him to state out the truth. And bend he did.
“Okay, I’ll tell you the truth.”
Ueda grins. “I’ll be glad to listen though I am not forcing you to.”
Jin groans under his breath. He doesn’t know why he had make friends with a sadist in the first place.
Jin stares at his friend waiting for a response. He had told the other about what had happened complete with his own reason on why he did what he did.
As expected, Ueda didn’t go on a berserk when he finally did, he just calmly asks, “So you said that you did it because you are curious? That Pi had unintentionally convinced you to do it?”
“Yeah,” Jin replies slowly.
“So what do you feel right now? Does it satisfy your curiosity or that you had started to like it too much to let go?”
Jin clears his throat nervously; he knows that he have to be careful with his words. “What do you mean?”
“Do you feel anything when you kissed Kame? Do you like it?”
It would be a lie if he says that he hated it because he really does like it very much. Jin smiles in embarrassment, “I kind of like it.”
Ueda purses his lips, brows furrows as if he is analyzing his answer. “So?”
Jin raises a brow in confusion. “So?”
“That’s it? You just like it?”
Realizing what Ueda is getting at, Jin scoffs in disbelief chuckling in amusement. “You think I like Kame that way? No way. He already got a boyfriend.”
Ueda just stares at him till he feels a little bit uncomfortable before flashing him a smile; saying, “It’s good to know that, because it sucks if you do.”
“Hey, are you trying to say that I am no good?” Jin growls.
“No. Because I know that you can’t have him.”
Although he knows and sure that he doesn’t like Kame that way that statement somehow strikes deep into his chest and into his heart.
*************************************************************************************
When Kame reaches home that night, it was empty. He had kind of expected it. After what had happened, it will be awkward for them to look at each other face to face.
He sighs as he clicks on the light when he notices a note on the coffee table. He picks it up and can’t help to smile when he reads it.
‘Yo, sorry that this is sudden, but I had some work to do so I’ll be staying at the studio for a while. I will be seeing you later. Ciao. Jin.’
He places the note back on the table, feeling a little bit light hearted that Jin hadn’t make it into a big deal. Maybe he’s the one that taking things too seriously. It is just a kiss, well, kisses to be exact. But that doesn’t mean that they are having feelings towards each other.
Kame is about to strip off his clothes when someone rings his door.
He furrows his brows anxiously. He wasn’t expecting anyone and it is rare for him to have a visitor without informing him first. Kame walks slowly to the door, and after attaching the chains securely at his door, he opens it and when he sees the person at the other side, he sighs in relief.
“Hi,” Yuu gives him a little wave, looking a little bit nervous but adorable. Kame can’t stop himself smiling at the sight as he takes off the chain and opens the door.
“Hi.”
“Uh… can I come in?”
Kame gives out an embarrass smile as he moves to the side, letting the other to enter and when he closes the door behind him, Kame had never feel that relief that Jin is not at home.
He is walking towards the other when he noticed that Yuu is reading something in his hand. He realizes that it was Jin’s note. He watches nervously as the younger man places the note back on the table.
“You are not living here alone?”
Kame doesn’t like the way Yuu is looking at him right now. It makes him feel bad about himself and what had happened the night before makes him feel even worse.
“He’s just staying with me for a while.”
Yuu nods his head and slowly draws out a shaky breath. “I had a reason why I come here this late.”
Kame moves closer and sits down right besides the other waiting for what Yuu is trying to say.
“I… we need to talk.”
Talk?
Yuu takes a deep breath and says, “I got an offer to go to New York.”
Kame waits as Yuu continues, “And I’m really not comfortable on having a long distance relationship.”
“Oh…” He wants to break up with me…
“No, I don’t...” Yuu sighs nervously noticing his reaction, “I don’t mean it that way. It’s just… I hope that you will come with me.”
He is speechless. He had thought that Yuu is going to break up with him and not this.
“Kamenashi-san?” Yuu’s voice pulls him back from his shock.
Kame shakes his head in disbelief, “New York? You got an offer to go to New York?”
“Yes.”
Feeling very happy for the younger man, Kame immediately lunges forward and gives his younger lover a tight hug. “Congratulations. You really deserve it.”
He feels Yuu hold him back as tightly and it makes his heart skipped a beat. He can feel the other nuzzles against his neck whispering softly, “Please come with me to New York.”
It was the moment. Kame blames it on the moment because the usual Kame will never make his decision on the spot. He will think about it rationally and not just simply says yes, like what he was doing now.
“Yes,” Kame whispers back. “I will be happy to go with you to New York.”
*************************************************************************************
Jin searches for his note book everywhere but it was nowhere to be seen when he realizes that he had left it under the coffee table back at Kame’s apartment. Jin takes a look at his watch.
9 a.m.
Maybe he can go back to Kame’s apartment to retrieve it. Kame won’t be at home at this time anymore. He always goes to work at 8. Jin smiles at his own solution.
He hums softly, trying to unlock the door when without a warning; the door opens to reveal Kame… and a man that he knows pretty well as Kame’s boyfriend.
“Jin?”
Jin smiles awkwardly as the tall man standing behind Kame gives him a polite nod. Kame just smiles shyly, as he tries to straighten his disheveled hair.
“I’m here to take my things.” Jin informs and Kame nods his head giving him way.
He walks toward the coffee table and takes his book somehow feeling more than uncomfortable seeing Kame and his boyfriend. Moreover, the way they looked is screaming sex.
Jin watches Kame and the tall man talks in a hush whisper before briefly kissed and then parts. When Kame closes the door and looks at him, Jin just can’t stop himself from saying.
“So it doesn’t feel strange anymore does it? Kissing a man.”
“What?” Kame looks at him in confusion.
Jin bites his lower lip trying to stop himself from saying anything that he will regret later. He knows that he had said that he doesn’t have feelings for his younger friend but the sharp pain he feels in his chest seems to say otherwise.
“Nothing,” Jin shrugs ignoring it and without even sparing a glance at the other, he walks out from the apartment.
What Ueda said keeps on replaying in his head, ‘Because I know that you can’t have him.’
TBC
A/N: Does anyone here wants to hit Kame on the head for being an idiot? LOL I am always worried when my story comes to the high point of the story. Is it okay? The pace? The characterization?
Anyway thank you for reading this. I really really do appreciate it.
