Pairing: Kato/?
Rating: PG-13
Length: Chapter

Disclaimer: I do not own anything or anyone related to JE. These are only ideas floating around my head that I decided to write about.
Summary: Shige begins to get strange notes from an anonymous source. He doesn't know if they're a prank, or if they're for real. Most of all though, he has no idea who it is that's leaving the notes for him.
A/N: I actually kind of love Shige. He's so cute, and attractive. This idea sort of came out of nowhere and really took hold. I thought it would be fun to develop something like this, with the letters and Shige's reactions to them. Let me know what you think so far. And feel free to guess at any point in you think you know who is leaving the notes. I definitely have someone specific in mind ;)
~Day One~
There was nothing very unusual about the day, nothing that would have prepared me for the beginning of what I would consider to be the most unusual and unexpected thing that has ever happened to me. Considering my profession, I think that's quite a lot to say. Being an idol, I feel like I've had to do my fair share of odd things in life, and the things I do can certainly be unusual compared to a lot of people. But this, not even I would have ever thought that something like this would happen to me.
That morning was the first time I got one of his notes. I was the last one of us to arrive. We were all supposed to be there bright and early to prepare for the concerts. I thought it was a blessing when I arrived and found out that there had been no stragglers, and I was a couple of minutes early myself. I would have taken a moment to congratulate Yamapi on not sleeping through his alarm, but instead I held it back, not wanting to start the morning off on the wrong foot and he wasn't the greatest morning person. Instead I headed over to find Koyama who was stuffing some breakfast into his mouth. Collapsing in the chair next to him, I pulled out my own food and picked at it. Truthfully I wasn't all that hungry, but I thought I could use the energy. After a few moments and some pleasantries between Koyama and myself, which consisted of a muffled 'good morning' from him and a more clear answer from myself, I wandered away from him to find the restroom. When I came back I went to my bag and started digging around for my notebook, where I'd made notes for our meeting. That's when I noticed the folded up piece of paper that I was almost one hundred percent sure didn't belong to me. I was sure I didn't have any red paper, and I definitely didn't remember folding one up and putting it in my bag. Looking around curiously, I wondered if one of the other guys was responsible, but no one was paying attention to me. Shrugging I reached down and picked it up. After unfolding it I felt sort of surprised. There were two large words written across the middle.
You're mine
The words only confused me for a moment. I didn't really understand what the point of it was. My immediate reaction was to assume it was some kind of joke. I was about to turn around and confront the entire group, but then I thought maybe that was what they wanted. Feeling a little smug with myself, I decided to ignore it. Slipping the paper back down into my bag, I pulled out my notebook and headed for the table that everyone was slowly gathering around. It didn't take long for me to forget about the note, and I didn't remember until much later when I was putting my things away. I thought it was strange that no one had mentioned it, but I figured maybe they forgot as well. It was just a harmless joke or something, just someone trying to pick on me. So, I ignored it and headed out. I was tired, and a bed sounded a lot better than making a big deal about nothing.
~Day Two~
If only I would have said something the first time I got a note, then none of this would have ever happened. He probably wouldn't have continued leaving me notes if everyone had known about it. But would I wish for that to actually have happened? I don't know. My life has changed so much that I can't even imagine it being the way it was anymore. I can't imagine being the way I used to be, not when he's made me the way I am today.
It was the next day when I got the second note...
I went into work, not even thinking about my little present from the previous day. I didn't think about it until I was leaving to get some lunch out somewhere and found a second note in my jacket pocket. Seeing the same deeply red paper, I stopped. I was supposed to be meeting Koyama at the door, but I decided to take a moment to open the letter before heading that way. Immediately I knew it was more than it had been the day before. There was a whole paragraph written, and as I read it I could feel my slight surprise from receiving another one turn into shock at what was written.
You didn't tell anyone about the note I left you. Let's keep it that way for now. You're probably wondering about it. I meant it. I want you and I want you to know that you're mine. You belong to me Shige. I can't stop. I won't stop until I have you.
'Stalker!' That was my first thought. Then I started to think more practically. The only people who had access to both my bag and my jacket would have been the other band members and the staff. It was difficult for me to believe that any of them would seriously do something like that, so I had to revert back to my previous thought of it being some kind of joke. One of the guys no doubt was trying to lead me on to get a laugh. A weird joke, granted, but I was much more comfortable thinking that. Shoving the paper back down into my pocket I decided I would think more on it later, so Koyama wouldn't be able to tease me about being slow.
There were several times throughout the meal when I thought about bringing the note up, or even pulling it out to show Koyama. I thought he might have a good laugh with me over it, but then I also considered the possibility of him taking it seriously and getting all worked up over nothing. He could definitely worry too much at times, about things like that. I thought he would probably be concerned for me, and I didn't want to cause him any stress that would hurt his job performance or mine even. So I ended up staying quiet. It did occur to me that Koyama might have been the one behind it, but I brushed that thought off quickly. Then I was sure that Koyama wouldn't have come up with a prank like that, and he certainly wouldn't have seriously felt that way. I actually had trouble thinking that any of them would come up with a prank like that. Tegoshi was the biggest prankster of course, but it wasn't exactly the same brand of humor he used. It seemed like too much trouble to be something Yamapi would do. Ryo also seemed more straightforward than that. Masuda was another person I just couldn't see doing it. It wouldn't be long before I was doubting every single one of them.
