NewS Drabble Dump #7/KAT-TUN Drabble Dump #1
Random drabbles from my random meme request thing a few days ago. Apologies for spam and general suckage.
Title: Successor
Theme/Topic: Three years after “Tegoshi for President!”
Rating: G
Character/Pairing/s: NewS (Tegoshi, Shige, Yamapi)
Warnings/Spoilers: Crack, stupidity.
Word Count: 325
Summary: Follow up to “Tegoshi for President!”- Tegoshi discusses the future.
Dedication: Ann’s request on my timestamp meme! LOL THE ONLY ONE SO FAR. THANKS FOR NOT LETTING ME GET LONELY ANN.
A/N: More crack, as I am clearly in a crackful mood again lately. XD
"Prime Minister, what will you do now that your term in office is approaching its end?" a reporter asks Tegoshi at the press conference today. The rest of NewS sits behind the youngest member as he answers questions; they're all smiling for the cameras and/or nodding supportively when appropriate. Except for Yamapi, who is typing today's nikki entry with great concentration.
Shige surreptitiously checks his watch under the table and hopes things wrap up here quickly; they have a filming for their new single's promotion coming up in an hour at the TV station, and they still have to get there, change out of their suits and into their idol clothes, and have hair and makeup done.
Tegoshi, as usual, takes his sweet time answering.
"Mmm, now that elections are coming up, I'll probably just retire from politics for now!" Tegoshi chirps, looking thoughtful. "It was fun, ne, but I think there are other people better suited from this job than I am. Also, it makes filming movies for me really hard."
A moment of silence, in which everyone in the press may or may not be a little sad to hear the news. They've never had such photogenic politicians before.
Shige on the other hand, is ecstatic.
"Um, well...based on your words, do you have another candidate you're particularly endorsing, Prime Minister?" the first reporter continues, cautiously.
Tegoshi thinks about that too. After a moment, he brightens and says, "Sure!"
A buzz of excitement rolls through the room when he does; everyone already has their predictions as to who it might be since there have been a few high powered Diet members vying for Tegoshi's support for the upcoming election season as of late.
"Can you name any names, Prime Minister? Or is it too soon to ask?"
Tegoshi laughs and answers without missing a beat. "Of course I can! I think Shige would be good, ne. Since he’s smart."
Silence.
Then, "OI, TEGOSHI!!!!"

Title: On Camera
Theme/Topic: Three hours before the events in mousapelli’s fic, “New Year’s Kiss.”
Rating: PG-13
Character/Pairing/s: Mentions of Pin and there but not really there RyoxJin (also, appearances by Koyama, Shige, Tegoshi, Koki, and Kame).
Warnings/Spoilers: Crack, OOC, stupidity.
Word Count: 499
Summary: Ryo shuts Jin up.
Dedication: mousapelli’s request on my timestamp meme.
A/N: Yeah, still sucking at these. LOL SORRY MOUSIE.
The tenth New Year’s kiss that Jin gets in 2008 is the only one that doesn’t involve Yamapi because it happens while Yamapi is in the bathroom.
During this notable moment in which there is a distinct lack of making out with Yamapi, Jin is no longer distracted by more pressing issues and thus has enough uncommitted mental resources left that he’s able to put them together in the form of an idea. Resolute upon thinking it up, he suddenly raises his glass and shouts so that everyone at Ryo’s party (who is still conscious right now anyway) can hear him. “Next year!” he announces, sounding inspired, “My New Year’s Resolution is that next year I want an on camera kiss with Pi!!”
“Don’t tell me he’s shitfaced already,” Koki mutters irately from the couch, while Shige sobs in a corner about how much he loves NewS and Koyama hugs Shige so that they can cry the rest of it out together.
“I don’t think he’s completely gone yet,” Kame sighs. “I think he really means it.”
Kame is partially wrong and partially right; Jin is shitfaced, but he also really means it too.
As evidenced by his inability to shut up about it.
“And! And my on camera kiss will be even better than Koichi-senpai’s because there will be real mouth-to-mouth action!” Jin vows, raising his glass even higher above his head as he does. He ends up splashing vodka into his hair.
Back on the couch, Ryo stirs, looking vaguely annoyed by all the noise Jin-moron is making. “He’s completely shitfaced,” he confirms, pushing himself off of the couch with a grunt. “And if he doesn’t shut up my neighbors are going to call the cops.”
Jin doesn’t shut up.
“That way, everyone will see! Because…that’s what…a kiss on camera means. Right. Right! It’ll be better than the other kisses they’ve seen on camera before.”
As it stands, he kind of sounds like he could go on about it all night.
But Ryo doesn’t really want to listen to this crap anymore, and since Yamapi is too busy in the bathroom to come out and control his boy toy, he takes matters into his own hands by thrusting his phone at Tegoshi, marching up to Jin, and pulling the idiot down for a kiss.
Tegoshi dutifully snaps a picture of it with Ryo’s phone. And then snaps one with his own phone too, just because.
When Ryo and Jin pull apart a second or two later, Ryo makes a face and swipes at his mouth with the back of his hand. “There’s your stupid on camera New Year’s kiss. Now shut the fuck up.”
Jin blinks.
Ryo shoves another drink at him and goes off in search of some mouthwash.
Five minutes later, Yamapi comes out of the bathroom looking slightly more sober than he’d been earlier. “What’d I miss?” he asks.
Jin, who in contrast, is now slightly drunker than he’d been earlier, can’t really remember.

Title: With Great Power
Theme/Topic: One month after “The One Where NewS Really Becomes Super Heroes This Time.”
Rating: PG
Character/Pairing/s: NewS
Warnings/Spoilers: Crack, OOC, stupid (the usual).
Word Count: 333
Summary: NewS still wants to help.
Dedication: Ann’s request on my timestamp meme.
A/N: LOL I don’t know, clearly I should never do memes.
They are in the middle of an outdoor photoshoot at the park when they hear the familiar wails of sirens suddenly split the air around them. Instinctively all of their heads turn towards the commotion, and Yamapi has to actually stop himself from going after the three large fire trucks he sees speeding by when he remembers that they’re not superheroes anymore, but rather, just regular idols instead.
“A fire!” some of the staff on set buzz, pointing off into the distance, where a dark plume of black smoke is rising rapidly into the bright blue sky over Tokyo. “It looks like a big one!”
“Eh, in the middle of the city? That’s dangerous!” Massu says, frowning in worry.
“Maybe we should go and see if we can do something to help,” Koyama suggests on principle, and can’t take his eyes off of the smoke for a second.
“Are you joking?” Shige scoffs. “In a situation like that, we’re completely helpless without our powers. It’s better to leave it to the firefighters and not get in their way while they put it out.”
“That’s true,” Koyama sighs, but feels bad for not being able to do anything anyway.
Tegoshi hugs him comfortingly. “Don’t worry, Kei-chan,” he chirps, sounding inappropriately chipper, all things considered. “Maybe it will rain today, ne.”
Shige snorts. “It’s not going to rain! We specifically chose today to do the shoot because the weather forecast said it would be sunny all day.”
Koyama looks devastated because Shige is right.
Fifteen minutes later, Koyama is no longer devastated and Shige is wrong, because it starts raining mysteriously.
Pouring, really.
NewS, now completely soaked to the bone, sits huddled and shivering together inside the makeup van as they wait out the sudden downpour.
But despite being wet and freezing, everyone is cheerfully optimistic about the sudden change in weather.
Well, everyone except for Shige, who kind of hates himself right now.
Because really, he should have seen this coming a mile away.

Title: Jin is a Genetic Mutation
Theme/Topic: Before the events in koheho’s Batjin fic of DOOM.
Rating: G
Character/Pairing/s: Jin (and the X-Men)
Warnings/Spoilers: Crack, me ruining Kon’s good work again.
Word Count: 276
Summary: Jin realizes that being a Johnny is a lot like being a mutant.
Dedication: koneho’s request on my timestamp meme. Continued (sort of) by kon and myself here.
A/N: ad;ljsdf I AM SO LAME.
Jin discovers that he is exactly the same as a superhero after catching a bad Japanese dub of an old X-men episode on late night television one morning, somewhere between the hours of three and four am (which just so happen to be his personal best thinking hours).
It is an epiphany of epic proportions when he realizes that like the X-men, he is also not considered a normal human being by the majority of the world at large (someone saw him in a public restroom the other day and freaked out when he stepped out of the stall), he also has to wear ugly clothes in public places like the X-men do (yellow spandex is less than or equal to purple sequins), and most importantly, he has also had special skills that the general public doesn't have forced upon him at a young age (baton twirling, dancing on roller skates, and impersonating a squid to name a few).
Like the X-men, Jin realizes that Johnny's is full of very special people (except with fewer genetic mutations). But unlike the X-men, he and his fellow Johnnies do not get the same job perks that the X-men do.
In fact, he realizes that the X-men have it better than Johnnies.
Because the X-men get X-women too, and Jin thinks that it would be awesome to get to work with chicks every day, instead of just guys who look like chicks from certain angles.
Halfway through the episode, when he sees Wolverine making out with a hot Japanese girl who kind of looks like Ueda, Jin decides-very seriously- that it's time for him to change career paths.

Title: Today
Theme/Topic: A few minutes/hours after the end of "The Art of Being YOU-tachi."
Rating: PG
Character/Pairing/s: Nakamaru, Toma (side appearances but not really of the rest of KUTTIN)
Warnings/Spoilers: AU, makes no sense without reading the first two stories.
Word Count: 426
Summary: Nakamaru’s weird behavior continues.
Dedication: cynicalism’s request on my timestamp meme.
A/N: Again I fail, but to be fair, these two were the first ones I’d done in a long time. So yeah.
The next day at work Nakamaru is only fifteen minutes late and it's purely because of traffic. Everyone is surprised at this new development but too wary of the oldest member's recent odd behavior over the past few weeks to say anything about it directly. They're all worried that it's the calm before the storm, some sort of precursor that will lead to a total melt down or a total blow up or worse, to another rumored KUTTIN break up for the gossip papers.
So they just keep quiet instead, while Nakamaru absently says good morning and goes to the back of the room to study the schedule for the day. He doesn't notice the strange looks they give each other when he isn't looking, and after a moment, he squints at the board and says, "Oi, Toma... it's our turn to do the radio show together again tonight, huh?"
Toma coughs. "Yeah. I wrote up an outline of what we could talk about and play last night, so don't worry..."
"Let's play Weeeek today," Nakamaru says suddenly. "I like it. It's cheerful."
Silence.
Then, "Really? I mean, won't everyone think that's weird? You only ever want to play Western music on the show."
Nakamaru laughs at that, and Toma is so surprised by how genuinely amused it sounds that for a moment, he stares back at his groupmate. Openly.
"Toma," Nakamaru says, slouching over towards the couch and sitting down, "didn't I already tell you that you worry too much about what everyone else thinks? It's annoying."
"Yeah, but..."
Nakamaru eyes him. "You like the song too, right? It's your ring tone."
More shock. Enough to make Koki actually sputter as he chokes on his tea. Toma turns inexplicably red when he realizes Nakamaru knows that about him; somehow he hadn't expected it. Ever. "Um... yeah it is my ring tone," he replies dumbly.
Nakamaru just shrugs, calmly picking up the newspaper and going straight to the entertainment section like he notices these things about his bandmates every day. "So if you like it, let's play it. I have a friend who likes it too. He sings it with his name in it sometimes." When he says that last part, it is with an inexplicable warmth in his voice.
Toma blinks. "Uh...okay."
Nakamaru doesn't say anything else about the radio show after that; he just sits peacefully on the couch reading the newspaper and sipping tea while they wait for the choreographer to arrive.
It makes the rest of KUTTIN wonder if Nakamaru is dying.
END
Right. Until the next meme then! *shot*
