50stories - Theme 001: #48 Travel
Umi plops himself to bed as soon as he arrives in their hotel's bedroom, it's almost a ten-hour flight and his head's been spinning crazy, that's why he hates traveling abroad, the timezone's different and it means jetlag and an insanely aching pain inside his head.
He wonders how his lover can still have the energy to jump around the room, checking out the balcony and the bathroom, as if he never saw any of those before in his entire life.
"Rui, tell me again why we're here..." Umi mumbles as he finds a good position on the bed where his head wont hurt as much.
"Because you love me." the brunet smiles then jumps beside Umi who groans in pain when the bed vibrated under him, causing more headaches. "Get up, Umi! Let's start enjoying the sights!"
"Rui, we're in Vegas and the sights start at night, so let me sleep first."
"Umi!!! We were only given 3 days for this by our company!" Rui shakes him up, and if Umi doesnt love him enough, Rui will be found dead on the bed and he'll be flying back to Japan, but he does so he gives him a kiss and pleading look that he rarely uses as weapon but works every time on Rui, "Please Rui? I'll make it up tonight. Just let me rest?"
Rui stares at him, Umi tries his best to look more like a lost puppy and when his lover caved in, he does victory dances and poses inside his head, "Fine... I'll take a walk alone, I'll be back before dinner." Rui tells him then continues, "Leave your phone on, and in loud mode, please?"
"Yes, dear." Umi nods then gives him another kiss, "Dont get lost, Rui."
"I wont." the bassist gives a thumbs up before taking his bag and keys as he darts out of their room.
A few hours later Rui rushes back to their hotel room, shopping bags in both hands only to find Umi still dozing off on the bed, "Umi!!!" He screams, the said man gets up suddenly in confusion, "WHAT HAPPENED?!"
"Just so you know... it's 5PM, you promised me..."
"Ah right... I'm sorry, but I think I'm sick. Tomorrow, I promise." Umi returns to lie back on the bed, Rui sighs and places his shopping bags on one side of the room, "Can we at least have a decent dinner outside?"
"Can we just order room service for tonight? My headache is killing me..."
"Be thankful it's not me killing you right now..." Rui mumbled under his breath, "Are you saying something, Rui?"
"Nothing. I'll just take a warm bath then order room service when I'm out."
Umi stares as his boyfriend steps inside the bathroom, he knows Rui almost like the back of his hand and right now, even without putting up an argument, he knows he just made him upset.
I hate you jetlag. I fucking hate you.
Rui and Umi are eating their room-serviced dinner an hour later, in silence. Even if the older man tries to strike up a conversation it ends up with him holding back, suddenly the awkwardness just filled the whole room, making it hard for him to strike up any kind of small talks.
After dinner, Rui just stands up and goes to the bathroom to clean up, Umi follows after, when he comes out his lover is already lying snuggly in bed, he tiptoes and lies next to him and hell, jetlag just transported him back to dreamland, which is a bit okay, it was an escape from the still heavy aura between them.
A few hours of sleep maybe, Umi wakes up to the sounds of sniffling and tirade of complaints.
"I practically had to beg for the manager to give us time off, Tomo..." Rui tells his bestfriend on the other line, "I swear... I'm sure he's not even aware that tomorrow's our 3rd anniversary..." Rui keeps bawling, Umi's eyes widen and subtly he checks his cellphone lying next to his pillow.
Shit... IT is our anniversary...
"I know that he's always about planning stuff, but... sometimes I wish he'd be spontaneous... even just once, one big spontaneous act and I swear I wont mind having him acting like a huge jerk. We didn't fly to an expensive trip to Las Vegas just so he can lie his ass off on the bed all day... To think we're going back to Japan the day after tomorrow..."
Umi makes a grunt, as if to tell his presence, Rui says his goodbyes and apologies to Tomo, knowing he had disturbed him in whatever he was doing with his own ramblings and then the younger man lies back to bed. Umi turns to face him, feigning sleep and wraps his arm around Rui, who as Umi felt relieved for, his younger lover gives him a chaste kiss and cuddles himself on his chest.
The next morning Rui wakes up with a missing Umi, "Hun?" he calls out a number of times, it's almost hopeless, he is about to look for him when the door opened, with his boyfriend holding food, "Ah, you woke up early." Umi walks up to him and gives him a kiss, "Ohayo, Rui."
"Ohayo. I thought you left me." Rui scratches his head then walks to the small dining table they have inside their room, Umi follows with their breakfast. "You take a shower after you eat, then we'll take a walk outside, it's a nice weather." Rui smiles and then nods, "Okay."
They walk hand in hand in the not-so busy streets of Las Vegas, it's only about noon, anyway, most establishments are not yet full as it will be at night. They stop by shopping malls and takes a hearty lunch thereafter.
"Where do you want to go next?" Umi asks, "Wherever will be fine." Rui is obviously happy unlike the day before and Umi's glad to at least make up for being a total asshole yesterday. They spent the whole day walking along hand in hand, only stopping by a hotdog stand around the corner for an afternoon snack, "Are you tired?"
"A bit." Rui gives him a hug before taking another bite off his food, "Thanks for keeping your promise today. Did you plan this?"
"A little. But not entirely, Las Vegas is an alien to me after all." Umi laughs, he earns another hug from Rui after, "Should we head back to the hotel now? My feet are killing me." Umi nods in agreement.
Umi takes Rui to a formal dinner he reserved for the two of them in the restaurant at the hotel that night, "This is so romantic, Umi, I never thought of you as someone who'd go to formal dinners. Thanks for the clothes too, it was a surprise."
Umi kisses Rui's hand from across the table, "Shall we dance?" Rui turns wide-eyed, looking around the place, "Are you sure? Umi...?"
"Yeah. Dont worry about it, we're not the only gay couple who'd be in the dance floor."
"I'm not worried about being the gay couple but... this isn't you."
"Just shut up and let's dance already." Umi's blushing and he cant help but just pull Rui up from his seat, thankful that the younger man didnt protest any longer to make a commotion.
Rui's a bit hesitant at first, so is Umi, but eventually the two of them becomes at ease as they dance slowly along with the soft melody from the piano onstage, "I love you Umi." Rui stares at Umi, chewing at his lower lip, "Thank you for this."
Umi feels his heart race against his chest, a total contrast to the music echoing the place, he doesn't know why, but is it the sparkle in Rui's eyes? The light that reflects on his lover's face? Is it the aura of the whole place, or is it just the dance that he never did before that made Rui cry with what he said next?
"I think I wanna marry you, Rui."
"W-what?!"
"Marry me tonight."
"Are you serious...?" Rui tears up, covering his mouth with his hands, unsure of what to say, "Yeah, I'm dead serious, say yes and we're flying out of here. We're dressed to the occasion anyway...'
Rui gives him a bear hug and cries on his shoulder, hitting his chest lightly, "If this is some kind of joke, I swear I'm breaking up with you..."
Umi laughs a little, "I'm still waiting for an answer, Rui."
"Yes, fuck yes, Umi." Umi sighs in relief, he was almost ready for a big no and a number of excuses from his lover.
"Did you also plan this...?"
"No, just one big spontaneous act."
