Summary: One-shot. Ryo’s sex drive goes unsatisfied as Shige goes into stress overload, causing a dark cloud to loom over JE. Casualties have fallen left and right - and the rest of NEWS (with the help of T-TUN) must do something before the entire building crumbles in fear. 2680 Words.
A/N: Sounds darker than it really is. This is LAME. I’m sorry, this is kinda stupid. XD
--
Shige’s been stressed lately, Ryo observes. Not the standard stress from his schoolwork overload. It is exam season. So it’s even more so than usual, in Ryo’s opinion. And where there’s a stressed Shige, there’s a grumpy Shige. And when there’s a grumpy Shige, there’s no sex, much to his dismay. And as a result, Ryo is also grumpy.
He’s got an extremely healthy libido, and it needs to be satisfied, damn it!
Ryo sighs loudly as he sits on the bed; Shige snores quietly next to him, unaware of the older man’s state of discomfort. No dice. Ryo shifts closer and hums softly into Shige’s ear, lightly moving his fingertips across Shige’s exposed neck. Second attempt is a failure as well, as Shige merely swats Ryo away before turning away and continuing his slumber. Subtlety is not going to work in this case, Ryo decides. It’s time to take more drastic measures.
So he crawls on top of Shige and pins his arms against the headboard.
“I’m horny,” Ryo growls. “Sex. Now.”
Slightly disoriented, it takes a moment for Shige to comprehend the situation. He blinks dumbly for a few seconds, and then raises an eyebrow.
“Can’t you see I’m tired?” He answers grumpily before shaking off the other’s grasp and pushing him off. “We have a photo shoot at eight tomorrow. No.”
Ryo finds himself with his pillow on the couch a couple minutes later. Locked out again. He throws his pillow on the floor and stomps on it a few times in frustration and sighs. It’s just he and his hand tonight, Ryo regrets to admit.
--
“Well, somebody’s a little cranky today,” Yamapi says with an amused grin, an all-knowing look plastered on his face as Ryo storms into the room with a glare to end all glares, smelling distinctly more of cigarette smoke than usual. He is making a beeline toward Massu, who is munching happily on his muffin, unaware of his impending doom.
“YOU. Get your hair cut! It’s looking more disgusting lately. And stop smiling; its annoying,” Ryo barks. Massu almost drops his precious food in surprise, tears welling up on the spot.
“Ryo-tan!” Tegoshi gasps at the same time as Koyama’s burst of “Ryo-chan! That is not a proper display of member-ai!”, and they rush over to assure Massu that there is absolutely nothing wrong with his hair and that his smile lights up the room. Ignoring the two, Ryo stalks over to the coffeemaker and violently pours some into a nearby mug before making his way out the door.
Yamapi is blocking the doorway, his knowing looking only helping to further fuel Ryo’s current state of grumpiness. “Rejected again, huh?” Yamapi asks, amused. The other glares at him and scoffs, muttering darkly about moobs before maneuvering around him. In the process, he nearly runs into an exceptionally unlucky junior who, by incredibly bad timing, dares to glance up at Ryo.
“What are you looking at?!” Ryo snaps, his glare turning monstrous as he stampedes through the crowd of frightened juniors, towards the designated smoking room. “Out of my way!”
Koyama hands the sniffling Massu some tissues while Tegoshi begins offering up a storm of Massu’s favorite foods.
“Um, Koyama?” Yamapi disrupts the two’s attempts to cheer Massu up. “I think that junior just crapped in his pants from fear. A little help here?”
--
Jin can’t help but feel slight queasiness in his stomach as he stares at Ryo finishing all the cigarettes in his pack. “Gosh, Ryo, it’s like you haven’t had sex in a week or something,” Jin jokes as he lifts his cigarette to his lips for another puff.
Ryo looks up at the other man, his aura of frustration emanating. “Try three. He complains about being too tired every night.”
Jin’s mouth drops in surprise. He pats Ryo’s shoulder. “That serious, eh? He must be pissed at you.”
Ryo turns sharply, his glare suddenly murderous once again. “I’ve. Done. NOTHING. Wrong.”
“I-I didn’t mean it like that!” Jin says, raising his hands in concession. The shorter man calms down slightly, a tense smile taking its place on his face as he inhales the cigarette deeply.
Jin relaxes, sensing security. “Maybe he’s gotten bored of you…?”
Ryo’s eyebrow begins twitching uncontrollably.
“…and he must be getting it better…somewhere else…?” Jin begins inching away slightly, suddenly anxious of the other’s presence. Smile wiped clear off his face, the shorter man cracks his knuckles threateningly. Realizing that his response might not have been the smartest, Jin suddenly turns gleeful when he comes up with an alternative idea. “I know! Let’s go to a strip club and you can cheat on Shige to your heart’s content! To get back at him! My treat.”
Jin crawls into KAT-TUN’s dressing room later, whining about a shiny new bump on his head. “Kame! Ryo’s being mean to me.”
The other members chuckle knowingly as Kame retorts, “Then you must have said something really stupid.”
“B-but I’m serious! He insulted my sex skills!” He wibbles and clutches Kame’s arm. “Tell him for me! I satisfy you, don’t I?”
Jin’s teary demeanor suddenly turns determined. “Don’t answer that. I’m gonna prove it to him right now!”
KT-TUN’s eyes grow wide, Kame sputtering and trying to make a quick escape. But it’s too late. Jin begins tearing off Kame’s shirt, his eyes fiery. The others rush out of their room and into safety, far away from the steadily growing noises breaking through the walls.
--
T-TUN observe Shige studying furiously in the corner of NEWS’s room, muttering various terms that none of them would likely understand. The rest of NEWS is busy scouring the building in search of the rampaging Ryo, so this is the safest place at the moment.
“Maybe he’s a sadist?” Koki whispers to Ueda, scratching his head. “Maybe he likes the idea of Ryo and everyone else in torture.”
Ueda shakes his head and sighs, “I don’t think so.”
“Maybe he doesn’t realize that Ryo is suffering!” Junno offers his idea excitedly and rather loudly. Shige is too busy opening up another textbook to even notice. Ueda and Koki eye him, shooting the thought down immediately - EVERYONE knows that Ryo has an overactive libido.
“Actually, guys, I think he has a point,” Maru says, still concentrating on Shige, who is turning pages rapidly, eyes furrowed. “Maybe he really does think Ryo can last until he finishes his final exams.”
T-TUN sigh in unison. That is giving the sharp tongued man WAY too much credit. So they tower over the oblivious Shige, trying to figure him out.
“Ah, Shige, you’ve probably run out of tea by now so I-eh? What are you guys doing here?” Koyama stops short, staring at the towering quartet, who almost fall on top of Shige in surprise, in confusion. They stammer in unison. “W-well, uh, Shige-R-ryo, uh…”
“Ooooh, great!” Tegoshi prances into the room and proceeds to tug the flustered KAT-TUN members out. “You guys can help us then!”
Koyama quickly pours Shige another cup of tea before rushing to follow the youngest member.
--
So the four members of NEWS and KAT-TUN somehow end up crouching in a dark closet in order to avoid the dangers of Ryo while they discuss their plans.
“Ryo’s terrorizing the entire company,” Yamapi says. “It’s time we did something about it. Shige needs to make a small sacrifice, for the sake of juniors.”
There are murmurs of agreement throughout the room.
“Okay, so it’s pretty simple,” Tegoshi follows up. “All we have to do is get Shige and Ryo alone for them to, um…you KNOW.”
The rest of the group agree. Except Ueda. “How exactly are we supposed to go about that, exactly?” He asks, suspicious of the simple solution.
“Well, that’s where you guys come up with it, isn’t it? I don’t have that type of experience yet!” Tegoshi answers readily, and maybe a bit too innocently. The closet is dead silent for a moment.
“So, um, why are we hiding in a closet?” Junno asks, when the door opens suddenly, causing everyone to freeze in fear.
“It’s probably a good place to hide from those horny bastards,” Kame’s voice flows into the room, then the sound of him limping as he takes a seat next to Koki before punching him in the arm. “Damn it, guys, why didn’t you save me?”
“It’s JIN. When he’s up to it, he gets what he wants,” Koki snorts. “We weren’t going to get in the way of that.”
Kame and Koki begin arguing, flailing their arms wildly in anger. Maru steps in to stop their immature battle while Yamapi stands up to bring the meeting back to order. “Does anyone have an idea as to how we’re going to drag Shige away from his books? His exams are in less than a week-“ Massu lets out a low whistle-“And we all know that Ryo won’t last that long before he tears this place apart.”
“Just snatch his books away from him for a few hours,” Kame says. “Take it from a workaholic. If Nishikido manages it right, he’ll get a rather feisty Kato when Kato’s books are nowhere to be found.”
“But his books are practically attached to him right now!” Koyama points out. “How are we supposed to sneak them away?”
The room is silent yet again.
--
They split up into three teams in order to complete Operation Make Ryo Nice Again, appropriately named by Massu. Team Distract Shige consists of Koyama, Massu and Tegoshi, who are to drag the studying maniac away from his books long enough for them to be stolen. Team Appease Ryo consists of the braver Yamapi, Kame and Koki, who are to find a way to get Ryo back in the NEWS break room when Shige discovers that his books are missing. And Team Snatch and Hide - made of Junno, Maru and Ueda - are to carry Shige’s book to a hiding place. The easy part, naturally.
It’s not too hard for Team Distract Shige to find him. He is still studying in the corner of the NEWS room when they come walking in.
“Shige, it’s lunch time!” Koyama says, prodding the younger man gently. Shige does not respond, only continuing to mutter random phrases under his breath in concentration. Tegoshi tries next.
“Shige! You haven’t treated me out in a while. I want yakiniku. Please?” The youngest member asks innocently. It only elicits a slight reaction from their target: a shrug. So Massu decides that a direct approach is the best. And he grabs the book from Shige, who yells “Hey! Wha-oopmh!” just as Massu lifts him and carries him out the room, singing a song about yakiniku.
Part Distract Shige, complete.
For Team Appease Ryo, however, finding their target is a bit more difficult. So they split up and scour the building, searching for signs of crying juniors and following their trails from there. Koki finds the beginning of the trail first, not so surprisingly near the smoking area. Some shaky juniors are curled up in balls against the walls while others are bawling in groups. Koki texts Kame.
“Think I found Ryo’s whereabouts. Get Yamapi and meet me next to smoke area.”
Then he waits, tapping his foot impatiently. The other two meet up with him within a few moments, determined looks on their faces as they observe their surroundings. Linking arms, they cautiously enter the ever darkening hallway towards Ryo’s whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Team Snatch and Hide are in NEWS’s room, trying to finish their job before the others come back.
“Daaamn it!” Maru wheezes, as he lifts a particularly heavy law textbook. “What the heck does he need to learn from these things?”
Ueda groans as he picks up several of the slightly lighter books. “Don’t complain,” Ueda somehow manages through his body’s complaints. Junno happily picks up the rest of the textbooks, balancing two heavy tomes on his head and sharing the weight of the other volumes on his hip.
They head out the door, when Maru stops suddenly, almost causing a collision with the other two. “What the crap are you doing?!” Ueda snaps as his arms are ready to give out.
“Where exactly are we hiding the books?”
There is silence.
Then Junno flits about, books miraculously still in place. “Let’s put it in the closet we were in earlier!”
“Okay, but let’s get there fast,” Ueda complains. They walk as fast as they can to their former hiding place and drop the books on the floor before collapsing on each other from exhaustion, groaning from the overexertion.
Part Snatch and Hide, complete.
“Pfft, what makes you think I need your help?” Ryo snorts. He’s gripping yet another pack of cigarettes, one unlit in his other hand.
“Well, obviously you haven’t managed very well on your own these last few weeks,” Kame responds, his eyebrows twitching in annoyance. Koki cautiously keeps a hand on Kame’s shoulder, making sure that the other won’t attack Ryo after too many of his buttons are pushed.
Ryo only scoffs in response and makes several failed attempts to light his cigarette. “Damn it,” he mutters.
Yamapi sighs and grabs the pack and cigarette from the shorter man. “Just go, Ryo-chan. It wouldn’t hurt to give it one last try?”
Ryo shrugs, and with a last response of “fine”, he makes his way back to the NEWS room. Kame sighs in relief, rubbing his temples together. One doesn’t have to wonder to see why Jin and Ryo are friends, he thinks.
And much to the relief of the entire building, Part Appease Ryo is complete.
--
With a much fuller stomach than he’s had in days, Shige almost skips into the NEWS room, his spirits completely lifted. He turns to thank the three when he sees Tegoshi waving goodbye and Massu slamming the door shut. “What the…”
Shige looks back to the room to find that Ryo is sitting where his books are supposed to be. “What the crap, Ryo?!” He almost yells as he rushes to the nearby cupboards, desperately searching for his belongings. After moments of combing the room, a fuming Shige practically shakes Ryo, begging him to tell him where he put the books. Ryo takes advantage of the contact, and almost instantly, Shige is against the wall.
“Look, Shige. I know your studies are important and all…” Ryo’s eyes are pleading. “…but it’s been WEEKS. Can’t you take a break? Please, I’m desperate here.”
Shige’s furious eyes soften. He looks at the other man, whose clothes are rumpled and hair is in disarray. His eyes have dark shadows under them, making Shige come to a realization. “I haven’t been a very good lover, have I? I didn’t even realize how long it’s been-“
He is cut off by Ryo’s lips crushing into his. Ryo pins him against the wall, wasting no time in getting rid of the younger man’s pants. Their hips are grinding, and their lips only separate long enough for them to pull each other’s shirts off.
And very suddenly, the ominous cloud that has been looming over everyone’s heads is lifted.
--
Tegoshi pulls his ear away from the door, grinning widely, and gives a thumbs up to the others crowding the hall in anticipation. The muffled sounds are loud enough to shake the walls. Koki and Maru let out a few cat calls and they all start hugging each other happily, congratulating themselves for their great success.
Loud moans escape the walls in the middle of their celebration, and everyone stops at the sudden awkwardness. Jin suddenly breaks the group’s tension when he walks into the hall grabs a hold of Kame.
“Kame! We can’t lose to Ryo!” And he drags a complaining Kame into the nearest closet. The remainder of the group glance at each other knowingly, but Junno breaks their moment of camaraderie. “Wait. Aren’t all of Shige’s books-“
“OUCH! WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE BOOKS DOING RIGHT HERE?!”

OWARI.
A/N: Okay, I can’t believe I just wrote that. I think this was more NEWS and KAT-TUN centric than RyoShige…and I couldn’t help but put some Akame in there. XDDD Sorry if I killed your brain cells from the LAMENESS. XDDDD BUT. It’s the longest fic I’ve ever written. So I’m still proud, no matter how badly it turned out or how short it is in comparison to more talented writers. XD

“Kame! We can’t lose to Ryo!” And he drags a complaining Kame into the nearest closet. The remainder of the group glance at each other knowingly, but Junno breaks their moment of camaraderie. “Wait. Aren’t all of Shige’s books-“
“OUCH! WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE BOOKS DOING RIGHT HERE?!”

OWARI.
A/N: Okay, I can’t believe I just wrote that. I think this was more NEWS and KAT-TUN centric than RyoShige…and I couldn’t help but put some Akame in there. XDDD Sorry if I killed your brain cells from the LAMENESS. XDDDD BUT. It’s the longest fic I’ve ever written. So I’m still proud, no matter how badly it turned out or how short it is in comparison to more talented writers. XD
