Title: Sleep
Pairing: ryokame
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Kame can't sleep, and Ryo tries to stay up with him.
Notes: For ayumisan
--
The clock on the wall showed that it was well past midnight. Two o’clock to be precise. Kame groaned as he rolled over in his sleep, sitting up and then flopping back onto the bed again. He looked up at the ceiling, his eyes closing, but no matter how long he had done this, closing his eyes, trying to force himself to sleep, he just couldn’t get to sleep tonight. The covers were all a mess from how many times he had tossed and turned.
Letting out a growl of frustration, Kame got up, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and chanced a slightly jealous look at the other person in the bed. The older man was sleeping peacefully, lost to the world of dreams and as much as Kame wanted to wake him up and have someone to pout to that he couldn’t get to sleep, he didn’t. He simply pulled the covers up higher to cover the exposed shoulder of the older man and Kame then padded into the kitchen, intent on getting something warm to maybe help him sleep.
Ten minutes later, he had a cup of hot chocolate in his hands and he looked at the digital clock in the living room with a frustrated sigh. Even while drinking this warm drink that would normally help him sleep, he couldn’t, and he just didn’t know why. He had a feeling he would be tired tomorrow morning when he got up to work.
Kame looked up, startled, when he suddenly felt a pair of warm arms wrap around him, and he twisted around on the sofa to see the sleepy face of the sexy Osaka man.
Ryo nestled his face into Kame’s shoulder and the younger man laughed just a little, “I’m sorry. Did I wake you up?” he asked regretfully.
Ryo mumbled something incoherent into Kame’s shoulder. Kame moved over a little and Ryo sat down next to Kame.
Ryo leaned his head on Kame’s shoulder, “…couldn’t sleep?” he mumbled, eyes closed.
Kame shook his head, fingers reaching out to play with Ryo's sleep mussed hair, “I’m sorry I woke you up,” he said softly, tilting his head to the side just a little to rest his head atop Ryo's.
“Why can’t you sleep?” Ryo asked, looking up with drowsy eyes at Kame, “You have to get up in six hours you know,” he murmured, “So do I actually.”
“I don’t know…” Kame murmured in return.
“There’s nothing wrong at work or anything is there?” Ryo asked, suddenly alert and awake as he stared at Kame intently, “Nobody is being mean to you?”
“I don’t think they dare,” Kame teased just a little, “You’ve made it clear you’ll be really upset if anyone tries to be mean to me.”
Ryo couldn’t help but chuckle, “At least they learn quickly.”
Kame laughed as he lifted his head. Ryo sat up as well, head resting against the top of the couch. Ryo wrapped his arms around Kame and held him close, yawning just a little.
“Why don’t you go to sleep?” Kame asked.
“Because you’re not asleep,” Ryo muttered, “I’m not letting you walk into work half-dead. Who knows what pranks of Jin’s you might fall for?”
Kame laughed as he put his head on Ryo's chest, “Did I mention that I love you?”
“Many times,” Ryo said with a smile as he looked down at Kame. His eyes were threatening to close again, and Kame just laughed softly as he watched Ryo struggle against sleep. Eventually, sleep won and Ryo fell asleep, holding Kame close to him. Kame shifted just a little with his head against Ryo's chest. He could hear Ryo's heartbeat, and with each beat of the heart, Kame’s breathing relaxed, becoming calmer with Ryo's arms around him.
“I love you,” Kame whispered as his eyes fluttered to a close.
Ryo's arm tightened as though to say, even though he was asleep, I love you too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ayumisan !!!! (hope you liked it!)

Title: Happily Ever After
Pairing: Ryokame
Rating: PG-13
Summary: After being forced to play a game at Ryo's birthday, Ryo and Kame decide to have a little fun as they tell horror stories fairytales to the others, starring...everyone. Where Ryo and Kame share a true love's kiss, Jin is Rapunzel locked up in a tower, Ueda is a fairy, Pi is Cinderella and Junno is a puppy prince.
Notes: for Ryo's birthday~ happy birthday Ryo-chan~~
The flashlight shone up at Jin’s face as Pi turned the lights off. Sitting against the couch, side by side, Ryo and Kame had their arms crossed as they both frowned just a little, not really enjoying this new activity. Ryo was outright glaring at Pi and Jin, and Kame was pouting. Normally, the pout would have gotten Kame what he wanted - especially if Ryo was nearby and ready to maim whoever didn’t give into what Kame wanted - but tonight, there was no fighting against Jin and Yamapi.
“Oh, c’mon~!” Yamapi called cheerfully, “It’ll be fun!”
“I hate you,” Ryo said darkly, “You’re evil and a wimp and I hate you.”
“Ryo-chan~”
“Why do we have to do this?” Kame asked, obviously liking Ryo's idea of going to sleep much better, since it was already three o’clock in the morning. He wondered how in the world Jin and Pi had roped enough people into the idea of a surprise birthday sleepover for Ryo, to manage to get Ryo and himself tied up, gagged and changed into a pair of disgustingly cute pyjamas.
“Because it’s fun!” Jin said excitedly, wrapping an arm around Kame’s shoulders, “C’mon, Kame, just imagine~” he said as he whispered in Kame’s ear, not caring about Ryo's death glare that was suddenly directed at him.
Kame noticed it and smirked just a little, “Okay, then. Ryo and I get to go first.”
Jin pouted, having wanted to pair up with Kame, but then he agreed, figuring that there was no way it could go the way Ryo wanted if Kame was part of it.
Only Pi and Jin were oblivious to the evil grins that Kame and Ryo shared with one another as they propped themselves up onto the couch and grabbed the flashlight from Jin’s hand. The fact that the evil grins were matched by dark blue pyjamas with smiling stars and pink pyjamas with dancing black kittens was ignored, because not even the cutesy patterns could take away the evilness of Ryo's smirk, or the shudder that crossed through the spines of the others gathered when they saw Kame’s ‘vengeance will be sweet’ smile.

Once upon a time, there was a farmer and his wife who lived next to a witch. One day, the farmer accidentally stepped on a blade of grass in the witch’s yard and he was soon faced with the wrath of an angry witch. She was yelling and screaming and finally, she glared at him in a way that made him feel like he should be running in the opposite direction and told him in a deathly calm voice, “Because you stepped on my blade of grass, on my land, I shall take something of yours.”
The witch chuckled evilly and she did. She marched into the farmer’s house, looked around for a long time, and then found herself the farmer’s baby and marched back out with the baby, “I shall take this baby from you.”
The farmer was horrified - even more so when he realized that his wife would be back any day and would be very upset if the baby was gone again. It really wasn’t his fault that other time when they went into the town and a stupid guy playing a flute had come into town and led the baby away, and it wasn’t his fault the baby developed at a freakishly weird pace - who knew that babies knew how to walk by the time they turned two? He didn’t - and the baby certainly hadn’t tried to walk before then.
The witch continued to cackle, and then she disappeared in a puff of smoke that left the farmer choking.
Then he realized that the baby was gone and he panicked.
“Oh SHIT!” he swore aloud, causing a few cows to moo.
Then as if that was a cue for his doom, he heard a call of, “I’m home~ Koki, where are you?!”
Koki gulped as Maru came into view.
“That was a great weekend - how is the…Koki,” his eyes narrowed, “Where is the baby?!” he demanded.
“…” Koki couldn’t answer.
“Koki…” Maru crossed his arms.
“Umm…”
“Where the hell is Jin?” Maru put his hands on his hips.
“He…uh…ran away?” Koki tried.
Maru made a noise in the back of his throat that sounded like a cross between a scream of frustration and a cry, “MY BABY HATES ME! HE KEEPS RUNNING AWAY!” Maru cried before he ran off. Koki panicked, seeing Maru upset, and ran after him, wondering if he should tell Maru that Jin hadn’t run away those times before and that Koki was merely a father who kept losing his baby.
And thus, Jin was taken by the evil witch and locked up in a high tower with only a window much too high up to climb out of.
--
Kame stopped when he heard a garbled scream from the general direction that Jin was and he found a couple of juniors holding Jin back from jumping at the two of them. He and Ryo shot deceivingly innocent smiles at the older man who made a swiping motion.
While Jin was attempting to form coherent words in his screaming, Koki and Maru looked at Ryo and Kame strangely, “…what did we do to you?”
“Huh?”
“You must be mad at us if you made Jin our baby!” Koki declared.
“Hey!” Jin protested. Then he glared at Ryo.
“Why am I the girl in the story?!” Jin yelled.
Kame smiled sweetly, “I thought it’d be obvious.”
“What?! WHY?”
“…well, besides your amazing ability to scream like a girl, you also had that hair in the Don’t U Ever Stop PV and no one else here had hair like that so you were the obvious choice. Rapunzel has to have long hair you know, and well, Jin, congratulations, you won.”
One brave junior put a hand over Jin’s mouth before the older man could answer and looked at the two storytellers, “What happens next?” he asked eagerly.
Ryo smirked and continued where Kame had left off.
--
As Jin grew up, he had no one to visit him except the evil witch. He was also not allowed sharp things, so as a result, Jin’s hair was really, really, really long and it was a huge effort to brush it every day. But since Jin had nothing to do all day, he did it every day because it took at least three hours of a day to wash and brush it. The wicked witch had never told Jin why he kept Jin locked up, although it was not for a lack of trying on his part. Every day, he asked her:
“Why?”
“I’m not telling you”
“Why?”
“Not telling”
“Why?”
“Stop asking!”
“Why?”
“Quiet!”
“Why?!”
“SHUT UP”
“WHY?!”
“SHUT UP OR I’LL TURN YOU INTO A DUCK!”
Jin quickly shut up and he sighed as he pouted that he would never find out why the witch kept him locked up. Jin often spent his days in the tower singing, because it was the most un-boring thing he found to do, and since he had already coloured all over the walls - which was hard to do since they were made of stone - he found himself singing a lot.
Which was how a prince riding by on a horse found him.
Prince Kame, who was happily travelling the forest on his horse, stopped when he heard singing. He looked up at the tower and was surprised to see someone in the window of the tower. Shrugging, he suddenly picked up a stone he found on the ground and pitched it upwards. He always was good at throwing things, probably why he played on the royal baseball team.
“OW!” there was a loud shriek.
Kame blinked.
“A girl?” he wondered.
“I AM NOT A GIRL!” Jin screamed as he leaned over the edge of the window, “YOU TAKE THAT BACK! I AM NOT A GIRL!” he shrieked, happily ignoring the fact that he had long hair and looked like a girl from a distance.
“Um…okay” Kame said awkwardly, “…then I don’t suppose you need rescuing from the wicked clutches of an evil stepmother who makes you do all the housework, do you?”
“I don’t have a stepmother”
“Not eaten any poisoned apples recently?”
“No…”
“Pricked by a needle that puts you in a deep sleep?”
Jin blinked, “I’m sleep-talking?”
“…never mind. Your idiocy must have spread down to me.”
“Hey!”
“Okay. So, no deep sleep. Trapped in a tower with no way to get out?” Kame asked, going down his checklist. He crossed off the ‘poisoned apple’ and ‘deep sleep’, and looked up at Jin expectantly.
“No - wait! WAIT! YES, YES, THAT’S ME!” Jin jumped up and down, raising his hand, grinning widely.
Kame looked up, “Then uh…strange guy who isn’t a girl -”
“Jin!”
“Jin, let down your hair~” Kame said happily, having been trained at an early age in all the ways of a rescuing a damsel in distress; climbing a maiden’s hair had been lesson #40.
“What?!”
“Let down your hair,” Kame repeated.
“NO! What the hell? Why my hair? I brush my hair for like…THREE hours every day! I’m not letting you climb it after you’ve sat on that…that HORSE!”
“…do you see any other option of getting out?”
“…I’m not letting down my hair! It’ll hurt, and you’ll make it all dirty and stuff!”
“I assure you that I have been well trained in the art of hair climbing,”
“I don’t trust you!”
Kame huffed, “You’re not being a very good damsel in distress.”
“I’m not a damsel!”
“Fine!”
“FINE!”
“FINE. I won’t rescue you! I’ll go find some other damsel in distress, probably poisoned by an apple or living a horrible life with an evil step-family, and rescue them instead! Who needs you?!” Kame crossed his arms angrily and flinging another stone up to the tower to hit Jin in the forehead, he got on his horse and rode off.
There was a loud shriek of pain.
“Pansy,” Kame muttered, “And you call yourself a girl.”
“I AM NOT A GIRL,” Jin shrieked, “TAKE THAT BACK. TAKE THAT BACK. OW, MY FOREHEAD. WHERE ARE ALL THESE ROCKS COMING FROM?!”
Kame smirked triumphantly.
--
Ryo broke off from the story to snicker at Jin. The older man was sitting in the corner, sulking and he kept touching his forehead. He exchanged a grin with Kame, who grinned back.
“Kame~” Jin wailed, “You wouldn’t really leave me would you?”
Silence.
“Kame!”
“Oh, sorry, I thought you didn’t want me to help you,” Kame said, turning his head away from Jin although there was no mistaking the teasing, kidding tone in his voice.
“Kame~!” Jin cried, diving to hug Kame’s leg, “Kame! Don’t go and leave me in the tower! Kame~”
The same brave junior raised his hand, “Nishikido-senpai? I can feel my brain cells dying. Can we please continue with the story before Akanishi-senpai kills my brain?”
Ryo grinned.
Pi muttered, “Oh my god. It’s a mini-Ryo.”
“I know, isn’t it awesome?” Ryo said happily.
“Akanishi-senpai, could you please stop trying to braid your hair? It won’t make it any easier for Kamenashi-senpai to climb it.”
“…I wouldn’t call it…’awesome’,” Pi muttered, “More like ‘run and scream in terror because now we have two of you around’.”
“You just can’t appreciate good quality personality,”
“And you don’t appreciate being nice.”
“Shut up.”
“Nishikido-senpai~” the junior raised his hand, “Please?”
--
It wasn’t very long later that Kame came across a cart in the middle of the road and he found, to his surprise, a puppy, sitting in the cart. Next to it was a sign ‘free kisses. Kiss me to get a prince’. The puppy looked hopefully up at Kame, and then he spoke.
“Want a prince?” he asked hopefully, “It’ll only cost you one kiss.”
“…I’m already a prince.”
“Damn it,” the puppy cursed, “Why is everyone a prince?”
“…why are you talking?” Kame asked in amazement. He looked at the collar that the puppy was wearing, “Junno?”
Junno sighed and put his paws in his hands, “I spent too much time playing games and I ignored this really bratty princess, and she got angry and got a witch to put a spell on me - so now, I can only turn back into my princely self if a lovely maiden kisses me.”
“I’m no maiden,” Kame quickly said.
Kame didn’t know that puppies could grin, but if they did, Junno had definitely just grinned, “It’s okay” he said brightly and reassuringly, “It could have been worse - I could have been a frog. No one wants to kiss a frog.”
“True,” Kame said, nodding, “Well, I wish you luck in your…maiden search.” he said as he continued on his way.
It was another two hours before he got to a town. Almost immediately, he saw a poster advertising the royal ball that was to be held that night, which was probably why everyone looked so busy and in a hurry. He tilted his head as he watched people moving quickly through the streets and he decided that he would stay for the night and attend the ball. Maybe he would finally find one of those damsels in distress.
He really needed to find one, because he had told Prince Tegoshi that he would definitely find one and Prince Kame didn’t like being wrong.
He soon found an inn to stay in and paid for his room before he went out to buy something appropriate to wear to the ball. On his way there, he stopped in the middle of the road when he saw an interesting scene that really intrigued him. Translation: he was bored and he got lost, not knowing which way to turn, so he followed a random set of people.
“I can’t believe you!” Ryo was shouting angrily, as he dragged Yamapi along, making note to pull at Yamapi’s hair just for good measure, “You - you…”
“WAH! Ryo-chan!” Yamapi wailed, “Stop pulling my hair!”
“You - you…that was my lollipop!”
“The doctor gave it to me!” Yamapi insisted.
“YOU. ATE. MY. LOLLIPOP” Ryo shouted, “It was MINE. This is just like the time I got my tonsils removed and you ate my ice cream then too! Stupid Pi!” he stomped off.
“WAH! Ryo-chan! I’m sorry! I’ll do your chores for you?”
“I don’t HAVE any chores. It’s YOUR turn to be the stupidly hardworking person who does all the chores remember?”
“…oh…”
“And you can dance by yourself at the ball tonight. I refuse to dance with you - LOLLIPOP STEALER!” Ryo fumed as he ran off, leaving Yamapi standing there.
Kame blinked three times after watching this scene, and suddenly with a puff of smoke, Ueda appeared, with fairy wings. And a wand. And well, he was a fairy.
Kame blinked again.
“…a fairy?”
“Yes,” Ueda said irritably, “Now who’s the one who needed a fairy godfather?”
“…um…”
“…I know SOMEONE here needs some magic done on him so that he can attract a prince and then run away from the prince at the stroke of midnight, only to be found again so that he can live happily ever after with the prince. It’s in my fairy handbook you know.”
“…I’m already a prince,” Kame said, backing away. He pointed at Yamapi who was pouting and calling out for ‘Ryo-chan!’, “Try him?”
Ueda looked at him, tilting his head and fluttered over to Yamapi, who was still wailing for “Ryo-chan”. Yamapi looked up when he saw Ueda and grinned, “Fairy godmother?” he asked hopefully.
“Godfather,” Ueda corrected.
“…can you bring Ryo-chan back to me?” Yamapi asked, “…he ran off, and now it’ll take me twice as long to find my way back home.”
He had yet to find out why the city had decided to build the neighbourhood like a maze. He always got lost and then Ryo would have to come and find him. And then Ryo would yell at him for being an idiot.
“No.”
“What?”
“N-o. No.”
“But -”
“I refuse to bring that menace within fifty yards of me!”
“Huh?”
“That menace,” Ueda sniffed, “I met him in the giant’s castle. He stole my wand, set my wings on fire and then left me to climb down the beanstalk by myself. I refuse to have anything to do with him!”
Yamapi pouted, “I don’t remember that!”
“He tried to do black magic, turned you into a cow, and then he sold you for some magic beans. Which was how the beanstalk thing started…”
Kame decided to leave before he could hear the rest of the conversation.
--
“You set Ueda’s wings on wire?!” Pi asked in alarm, turning accusing eyes on Ryo.
Ryo sighed.
“And then you sold me?! Ryo, how could you?!”
Ryo sighed again.
Kame, who was currently fighting off Jin’s attempts to hug his leg, stopped to pat Ryo's shoulder consolingly.
Ueda glared, “First of all, why am I even here at this party?” he said, scowling at Jin, “And second of all,” he glared at Ryo, “Why aren’t you Cinderella so I can turn you into a pumpkin?...or a carrot.” he said, mumbling something about feeding Ryo to a horse.
Ryo glared.
Kame rolled his eyes, “You’ll see, Tat-chan. And Jin? Please stop trying to hug my leg.”
Ryo twitched and promptly kicked Jin.
--
Ryo scowled as he followed the rest of the sharply dressed townsfolk into the castle. He had stormed off early and he just knew that Pi had gotten lost again, and thus, had spent an entire afternoon looking for Pi. He hadn’t been able to find the younger man though and he had gotten annoyed because he had wasted an entire afternoon.
He decided to just head to the ball and he figured that Pi would get here eventually anyways. There was no way even Pi could get lost on the way to the castle.
Or so Ryo thought.
Two hours later, Ryo was bored and he had yet to find Pi. The prince had yet to dance with anyone and he seemed to be scanning the crowd looking for someone in particular. Ryo sighed dramatically.
“I’m bored,” he muttered at the same time that he heard a scream come from the direction of the corner not too far away from him. Curious, he stood up and walked over, only to have someone scream and run past him, getting away from the horrible -
Young man sitting in the corner?
Ryo blinked as he looked at the man who was obviously a noble of some sort. There was an innocent smile on his face that Ryo didn’t quite believe, seeing as he had just sent two fully grown men screaming in terror in the span of a few seconds.
Kame looked up when Ryo approached and with a sigh, prepared to get his secret weapon out again. This had to be the tenth guy to mistake him for a girl and tried to hit on him. It really wasn’t his fault that the stupid seamstress had gotten his measurements wrong so he had gotten clothes a few sizes too big, so that the shirt kept falling off his shoulders and revealing a lot of skin. It really wasn’t.
“If you try to hit on me, I swear, I will bring out my secret weapon,” he warned sweetly.
Ryo blinked and then scowled, “What makes you think I’ll be scared by your secret weapon?” he taunted.
“That’s what they all said,” Kame replied mournfully.
“…Ha! Let’s see what you’ve got! It’ll pass the time until my stupid step-brother shows up and I can hit him for making me look for him all afternoon.”
Kame smiled disarmingly and pulled out a huge book - Ryo had to wonder where he had pulled that book out from but he decided to ignore it - and opened it to the first page. Ryo blinked, and looked at the title. Then he began to get a bad feeling and inched backwards.
Kame beamed at Ryo as he started to read, “The History of and Guide to Prince Charming, ultimate volume: an accumulation of all four hundred and fifty nine volumes of The History of and Guide to Prince Charming. Chapter one: the history. Prince Charming is a term referred to by many maidens in all kingdoms as a prince - or a noble - that would one day sweep them off their feet, whom they shall share a true love’s kiss with. Then they shall happily go off into the sunset and live happily ever after. The first Prince Charming was -”
“What the hell is that?!” Ryo shouted, pointing accusingly, “What the hell?!”
Kame blinked innocently, “It’s my homework.”
“Homework?” Ryo asked disbelievingly.
“Homework,” Kame said solemnly, “I started reading at the first chapter for you, but I’m actually on the four hundredth chapter. Would you like me to start there instead?”
Ryo's eyes widened.
“You are evil,” he muttered.
Kame smiled sweetly, “Am not. I’m just protecting myself. Now, are you going to go run away screaming and admit failure in your attempt to hit on me and call me a girl, or am I going to have to keep reading?”
Ryo stared, “You’re evil…” he paused, “I think I’m in -”
“In the year 1107, a witch by the name of -”
Ryo knew that there was one sure fire way to shut the other man up. It was time for drastic measures - Ryo pulled on Kame’s arm and yanked him forward, and the younger man let out a surprised yelp when he suddenly found Ryo's lips on his, the older man’s arm wrapping around Kame’s waist. Brown eyes widened and stared, shocked, into Ryo's, who smirked just a little as he pulled away, “Well,” he said, his face just inches away from Kame’s.
“You - you kissed me!”
“Yes, yes I did,” Ryo grinned, “Want to do that again?”
“You kissed me!”
“I’ll take that as a yes,” Ryo smirked as he leaned in to kiss Kame again. This time, the younger man was expecting it, but found that he couldn’t bring his hands up to stop Ryo, and found himself being kissed again.
And again.
It was finally, with his hair messed up and looking a bit dazed, that Kame turned to Ryo, “Will you at least dance with me before you kiss me…again?” he asked, a pout gracing his lips, “If I couldn’t find a damsel in distress to bring home as my princess, I need to at least have a dance with you to make sure you’re my true love.”
Ryo smirked, “Of course,” he said, extending a hand out to Kame, who took it and then he grinned as he led Kame out onto the dance floor, “You do know, of course, that you’re actually the damsel in distress.”
“What?” Kame yelped, eyes wide.
“Watch” Ryo stepped to the side just a little, letting Kame be seen by a group standing by the wall, and as they - Kame realized they had all been people that Kame had scared away with his homework - approached, Ryo promptly stopped dancing for a moment to kick them all in the shins. Kame winced and Ryo turned back to him and started dancing again as though nothing had happened.
Kame grumbled for a moment, before tilting his head at Ryo, “Well, at least my prince charming isn’t an idiot,” he allowed begrudgingly.
Ryo laughed.
“But,” Kame pouted, “All that studying for nothing!”
Ryo could only laugh more as he swung Kame in a little twirl halfway during their dance. It was then that he noticed something strange across the dance floor.
It seemed Yamapi had found his way to the castle.
“Ryo-chan!” Yamapi said happily, “Guess what? I met a prince!” he pointed to the man who was currently dancing with Yamapi.
“Prince Kusano” Kame said in surprise.
“Prince Kame?” Kusano said, equally surprised. Before the two princes could actually say anything to each other though, the clock struck midnight and Pi cursed, before he started to run off. Ryo rolled his eyes. He always had to be the smart brother didn’t he? He tackled Pi to the ground and wrestled the glass shoe off his foot, and then he pointed to the doors, “Go. And follow the neon signs I put up on my way here. If you get lost again, it’s his job to find you, not me. I’m going to his kingdom and becoming a prince,” he said as he reached for Kame, and held him possessively against his chest.
Kusano picked up the glass shoe, “…wait!” he called, running after Yamapi.
Kame was pouting, “Am I the only one who studied for nothing?”
Ryo grinned, “You can be my prince charming,” he said, as he tilted the younger man’s head so that he could kiss him. Kame was smiling after they broke apart, and then he nodded, “Okay.” he said cutely as he yanked on Ryo's hand, and dragged him to a corner of the ballroom.
“So…can I have my prince’s kiss?” Ryo asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Hmm, do you think you’re my true love?”
“Let’s try kissing again to find out” Ryo suggested eagerly.
Kame just laughed, “I think I already know,” he said, and kissed Ryo again.
--
And they lived happily ever after. Thanks to Ryo, Yamapi didn’t get lost on the way home and the next day, Kusano just decided to follow those neon signs that Ryo put up, and found Yamapi right away. Both brothers left their parents’ home (“Finally!!!” Tackey screamed as he dragged Tsubasa on a trip around the world now that their children were gone) and went to live in large palaces.
Ueda the fairy godfather messed up a transportation spell twice, and the first time, he came upon Prince Junno the Puppy, and since he was rather disorientated from the transportation spell at the time, kissed the prince and Junno turned back into a human, and decided he would be with Ueda for the rest of his life.
The second time Ueda messed up the transportation spell, he found himself in a high tower with only one window and a man with long hair, who was mumbling that maybe letting the rock-throwing Prince climb his hair was better than sitting here bored.
Ueda was trapped in the tower with Junno and Jin for two whole days before he could figure out how to get the transportation spell to work again and then by that time, Jin decided that magic was SO cool and he wanted to do it too, so Ueda the fairy had no choice but to grant Jin’s wish of being a fairy.
Thus, Jin became a fairy and got to do cool things like blowing stuff up (accidentally) with his new magic.
And they all lived happily ever after.
--
Silence.
Suddenly, all of the juniors started screaming at once, lunging for pillows and diving for cover under furniture. Even some of the older ones had started to do this. By the end of this, Koyama and Shige were hiding under Ryo's bed, Tegoshi and Massu were peeking out from Ryo's closet, Kanjani8 were huddled in a corner of the room, and the group of juniors were taking cover under a table.
Ryo merely grinned and Kame was examining his fingernails calmly. Then they looked at each other and laughed while Jin, who was sitting in the middle of the room, looked both sad and confused.
“Looks like it worked,” Ryo commented aloud.
Kame laughed, “You think?”
Koki poked his head out, “That is so not fair! You made the image of Jin in tights and a fairy costume pop up in my head! Take back the image! It's a horrible form of torture!!”
“I give up. You two win!” Maru added.
“I never want to hear a horror story from Nishikido-senpai and Kamenashi-senpai ever again,” a junior whimpered.
Kame and Ryo grinned at each other and then Ryo took Kame’s hand. He leaned in to whisper something in Kame’s ear. Kame laughed. Ryo pulled Kame to his feet and led him out of the living room.
Ryo stopped to say, “Jin, are those wings I see on your back~?” before he flicked off the light switch, snickering at the screams that followed. The screams were followed by the war cries of everyone attacking Jin with pillows, in fear that he had decided to become the fairy from the story. Apparently, nobody wanted to see Jin in tights and a fairy costume.
“So, did you enjoy your birthday?“ Kame asked.
“I did,” Ryo's lips curled up into a smile, “And do you know what else would make it better?”
“True love’s kiss?” Kame guessed, looking at Ryo with a smile.
“Exactly,” Ryo said and Kame soon found himself pressed against the wall, with Ryo kissing him. He wrapped his arms around Ryo to bring the older man closer, “I think I like this true love’s kiss,” he murmured as they broke apart for a moment, before they kissed once more.

The clock on the wall showed that it was well past midnight. Two o’clock to be precise. Kame groaned as he rolled over in his sleep, sitting up and then flopping back onto the bed again. He looked up at the ceiling, his eyes closing, but no matter how long he had done this, closing his eyes, trying to force himself to sleep, he just couldn’t get to sleep tonight. The covers were all a mess from how many times he had tossed and turned.
Letting out a growl of frustration, Kame got up, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and chanced a slightly jealous look at the other person in the bed. The older man was sleeping peacefully, lost to the world of dreams and as much as Kame wanted to wake him up and have someone to pout to that he couldn’t get to sleep, he didn’t. He simply pulled the covers up higher to cover the exposed shoulder of the older man and Kame then padded into the kitchen, intent on getting something warm to maybe help him sleep.
Ten minutes later, he had a cup of hot chocolate in his hands and he looked at the digital clock in the living room with a frustrated sigh. Even while drinking this warm drink that would normally help him sleep, he couldn’t, and he just didn’t know why. He had a feeling he would be tired tomorrow morning when he got up to work.
Kame looked up, startled, when he suddenly felt a pair of warm arms wrap around him, and he twisted around on the sofa to see the sleepy face of the sexy Osaka man.
Ryo nestled his face into Kame’s shoulder and the younger man laughed just a little, “I’m sorry. Did I wake you up?” he asked regretfully.
Ryo mumbled something incoherent into Kame’s shoulder. Kame moved over a little and Ryo sat down next to Kame.
Ryo leaned his head on Kame’s shoulder, “…couldn’t sleep?” he mumbled, eyes closed.
Kame shook his head, fingers reaching out to play with Ryo's sleep mussed hair, “I’m sorry I woke you up,” he said softly, tilting his head to the side just a little to rest his head atop Ryo's.
“Why can’t you sleep?” Ryo asked, looking up with drowsy eyes at Kame, “You have to get up in six hours you know,” he murmured, “So do I actually.”
“I don’t know…” Kame murmured in return.
“There’s nothing wrong at work or anything is there?” Ryo asked, suddenly alert and awake as he stared at Kame intently, “Nobody is being mean to you?”
“I don’t think they dare,” Kame teased just a little, “You’ve made it clear you’ll be really upset if anyone tries to be mean to me.”
Ryo couldn’t help but chuckle, “At least they learn quickly.”
Kame laughed as he lifted his head. Ryo sat up as well, head resting against the top of the couch. Ryo wrapped his arms around Kame and held him close, yawning just a little.
“Why don’t you go to sleep?” Kame asked.
“Because you’re not asleep,” Ryo muttered, “I’m not letting you walk into work half-dead. Who knows what pranks of Jin’s you might fall for?”
Kame laughed as he put his head on Ryo's chest, “Did I mention that I love you?”
“Many times,” Ryo said with a smile as he looked down at Kame. His eyes were threatening to close again, and Kame just laughed softly as he watched Ryo struggle against sleep. Eventually, sleep won and Ryo fell asleep, holding Kame close to him. Kame shifted just a little with his head against Ryo's chest. He could hear Ryo's heartbeat, and with each beat of the heart, Kame’s breathing relaxed, becoming calmer with Ryo's arms around him.
“I love you,” Kame whispered as his eyes fluttered to a close.
Ryo's arm tightened as though to say, even though he was asleep, I love you too.

Notes: for Ryo's birthday~ happy birthday Ryo-chan~~
The flashlight shone up at Jin’s face as Pi turned the lights off. Sitting against the couch, side by side, Ryo and Kame had their arms crossed as they both frowned just a little, not really enjoying this new activity. Ryo was outright glaring at Pi and Jin, and Kame was pouting. Normally, the pout would have gotten Kame what he wanted - especially if Ryo was nearby and ready to maim whoever didn’t give into what Kame wanted - but tonight, there was no fighting against Jin and Yamapi.
“Oh, c’mon~!” Yamapi called cheerfully, “It’ll be fun!”
“I hate you,” Ryo said darkly, “You’re evil and a wimp and I hate you.”
“Ryo-chan~”
“Why do we have to do this?” Kame asked, obviously liking Ryo's idea of going to sleep much better, since it was already three o’clock in the morning. He wondered how in the world Jin and Pi had roped enough people into the idea of a surprise birthday sleepover for Ryo, to manage to get Ryo and himself tied up, gagged and changed into a pair of disgustingly cute pyjamas.
“Because it’s fun!” Jin said excitedly, wrapping an arm around Kame’s shoulders, “C’mon, Kame, just imagine~” he said as he whispered in Kame’s ear, not caring about Ryo's death glare that was suddenly directed at him.
Kame noticed it and smirked just a little, “Okay, then. Ryo and I get to go first.”
Jin pouted, having wanted to pair up with Kame, but then he agreed, figuring that there was no way it could go the way Ryo wanted if Kame was part of it.
Only Pi and Jin were oblivious to the evil grins that Kame and Ryo shared with one another as they propped themselves up onto the couch and grabbed the flashlight from Jin’s hand. The fact that the evil grins were matched by dark blue pyjamas with smiling stars and pink pyjamas with dancing black kittens was ignored, because not even the cutesy patterns could take away the evilness of Ryo's smirk, or the shudder that crossed through the spines of the others gathered when they saw Kame’s ‘vengeance will be sweet’ smile.

Once upon a time, there was a farmer and his wife who lived next to a witch. One day, the farmer accidentally stepped on a blade of grass in the witch’s yard and he was soon faced with the wrath of an angry witch. She was yelling and screaming and finally, she glared at him in a way that made him feel like he should be running in the opposite direction and told him in a deathly calm voice, “Because you stepped on my blade of grass, on my land, I shall take something of yours.”
The witch chuckled evilly and she did. She marched into the farmer’s house, looked around for a long time, and then found herself the farmer’s baby and marched back out with the baby, “I shall take this baby from you.”
The farmer was horrified - even more so when he realized that his wife would be back any day and would be very upset if the baby was gone again. It really wasn’t his fault that other time when they went into the town and a stupid guy playing a flute had come into town and led the baby away, and it wasn’t his fault the baby developed at a freakishly weird pace - who knew that babies knew how to walk by the time they turned two? He didn’t - and the baby certainly hadn’t tried to walk before then.
The witch continued to cackle, and then she disappeared in a puff of smoke that left the farmer choking.
Then he realized that the baby was gone and he panicked.
“Oh SHIT!” he swore aloud, causing a few cows to moo.
Then as if that was a cue for his doom, he heard a call of, “I’m home~ Koki, where are you?!”
Koki gulped as Maru came into view.
“That was a great weekend - how is the…Koki,” his eyes narrowed, “Where is the baby?!” he demanded.
“…” Koki couldn’t answer.
“Koki…” Maru crossed his arms.
“Umm…”
“Where the hell is Jin?” Maru put his hands on his hips.
“He…uh…ran away?” Koki tried.
Maru made a noise in the back of his throat that sounded like a cross between a scream of frustration and a cry, “MY BABY HATES ME! HE KEEPS RUNNING AWAY!” Maru cried before he ran off. Koki panicked, seeing Maru upset, and ran after him, wondering if he should tell Maru that Jin hadn’t run away those times before and that Koki was merely a father who kept losing his baby.
And thus, Jin was taken by the evil witch and locked up in a high tower with only a window much too high up to climb out of.
--
Kame stopped when he heard a garbled scream from the general direction that Jin was and he found a couple of juniors holding Jin back from jumping at the two of them. He and Ryo shot deceivingly innocent smiles at the older man who made a swiping motion.
While Jin was attempting to form coherent words in his screaming, Koki and Maru looked at Ryo and Kame strangely, “…what did we do to you?”
“Huh?”
“You must be mad at us if you made Jin our baby!” Koki declared.
“Hey!” Jin protested. Then he glared at Ryo.
“Why am I the girl in the story?!” Jin yelled.
Kame smiled sweetly, “I thought it’d be obvious.”
“What?! WHY?”
“…well, besides your amazing ability to scream like a girl, you also had that hair in the Don’t U Ever Stop PV and no one else here had hair like that so you were the obvious choice. Rapunzel has to have long hair you know, and well, Jin, congratulations, you won.”
One brave junior put a hand over Jin’s mouth before the older man could answer and looked at the two storytellers, “What happens next?” he asked eagerly.
Ryo smirked and continued where Kame had left off.
--
As Jin grew up, he had no one to visit him except the evil witch. He was also not allowed sharp things, so as a result, Jin’s hair was really, really, really long and it was a huge effort to brush it every day. But since Jin had nothing to do all day, he did it every day because it took at least three hours of a day to wash and brush it. The wicked witch had never told Jin why he kept Jin locked up, although it was not for a lack of trying on his part. Every day, he asked her:
“Why?”
“I’m not telling you”
“Why?”
“Not telling”
“Why?”
“Stop asking!”
“Why?”
“Quiet!”
“Why?!”
“SHUT UP”
“WHY?!”
“SHUT UP OR I’LL TURN YOU INTO A DUCK!”
Jin quickly shut up and he sighed as he pouted that he would never find out why the witch kept him locked up. Jin often spent his days in the tower singing, because it was the most un-boring thing he found to do, and since he had already coloured all over the walls - which was hard to do since they were made of stone - he found himself singing a lot.
Which was how a prince riding by on a horse found him.
Prince Kame, who was happily travelling the forest on his horse, stopped when he heard singing. He looked up at the tower and was surprised to see someone in the window of the tower. Shrugging, he suddenly picked up a stone he found on the ground and pitched it upwards. He always was good at throwing things, probably why he played on the royal baseball team.
“OW!” there was a loud shriek.
Kame blinked.
“A girl?” he wondered.
“I AM NOT A GIRL!” Jin screamed as he leaned over the edge of the window, “YOU TAKE THAT BACK! I AM NOT A GIRL!” he shrieked, happily ignoring the fact that he had long hair and looked like a girl from a distance.
“Um…okay” Kame said awkwardly, “…then I don’t suppose you need rescuing from the wicked clutches of an evil stepmother who makes you do all the housework, do you?”
“I don’t have a stepmother”
“Not eaten any poisoned apples recently?”
“No…”
“Pricked by a needle that puts you in a deep sleep?”
Jin blinked, “I’m sleep-talking?”
“…never mind. Your idiocy must have spread down to me.”
“Hey!”
“Okay. So, no deep sleep. Trapped in a tower with no way to get out?” Kame asked, going down his checklist. He crossed off the ‘poisoned apple’ and ‘deep sleep’, and looked up at Jin expectantly.
“No - wait! WAIT! YES, YES, THAT’S ME!” Jin jumped up and down, raising his hand, grinning widely.
Kame looked up, “Then uh…strange guy who isn’t a girl -”
“Jin!”
“Jin, let down your hair~” Kame said happily, having been trained at an early age in all the ways of a rescuing a damsel in distress; climbing a maiden’s hair had been lesson #40.
“What?!”
“Let down your hair,” Kame repeated.
“NO! What the hell? Why my hair? I brush my hair for like…THREE hours every day! I’m not letting you climb it after you’ve sat on that…that HORSE!”
“…do you see any other option of getting out?”
“…I’m not letting down my hair! It’ll hurt, and you’ll make it all dirty and stuff!”
“I assure you that I have been well trained in the art of hair climbing,”
“I don’t trust you!”
Kame huffed, “You’re not being a very good damsel in distress.”
“I’m not a damsel!”
“Fine!”
“FINE!”
“FINE. I won’t rescue you! I’ll go find some other damsel in distress, probably poisoned by an apple or living a horrible life with an evil step-family, and rescue them instead! Who needs you?!” Kame crossed his arms angrily and flinging another stone up to the tower to hit Jin in the forehead, he got on his horse and rode off.
There was a loud shriek of pain.
“Pansy,” Kame muttered, “And you call yourself a girl.”
“I AM NOT A GIRL,” Jin shrieked, “TAKE THAT BACK. TAKE THAT BACK. OW, MY FOREHEAD. WHERE ARE ALL THESE ROCKS COMING FROM?!”
Kame smirked triumphantly.
--
Ryo broke off from the story to snicker at Jin. The older man was sitting in the corner, sulking and he kept touching his forehead. He exchanged a grin with Kame, who grinned back.
“Kame~” Jin wailed, “You wouldn’t really leave me would you?”
Silence.
“Kame!”
“Oh, sorry, I thought you didn’t want me to help you,” Kame said, turning his head away from Jin although there was no mistaking the teasing, kidding tone in his voice.
“Kame~!” Jin cried, diving to hug Kame’s leg, “Kame! Don’t go and leave me in the tower! Kame~”
The same brave junior raised his hand, “Nishikido-senpai? I can feel my brain cells dying. Can we please continue with the story before Akanishi-senpai kills my brain?”
Ryo grinned.
Pi muttered, “Oh my god. It’s a mini-Ryo.”
“I know, isn’t it awesome?” Ryo said happily.
“Akanishi-senpai, could you please stop trying to braid your hair? It won’t make it any easier for Kamenashi-senpai to climb it.”
“…I wouldn’t call it…’awesome’,” Pi muttered, “More like ‘run and scream in terror because now we have two of you around’.”
“You just can’t appreciate good quality personality,”
“And you don’t appreciate being nice.”
“Shut up.”
“Nishikido-senpai~” the junior raised his hand, “Please?”
--
It wasn’t very long later that Kame came across a cart in the middle of the road and he found, to his surprise, a puppy, sitting in the cart. Next to it was a sign ‘free kisses. Kiss me to get a prince’. The puppy looked hopefully up at Kame, and then he spoke.
“Want a prince?” he asked hopefully, “It’ll only cost you one kiss.”
“…I’m already a prince.”
“Damn it,” the puppy cursed, “Why is everyone a prince?”
“…why are you talking?” Kame asked in amazement. He looked at the collar that the puppy was wearing, “Junno?”
Junno sighed and put his paws in his hands, “I spent too much time playing games and I ignored this really bratty princess, and she got angry and got a witch to put a spell on me - so now, I can only turn back into my princely self if a lovely maiden kisses me.”
“I’m no maiden,” Kame quickly said.
Kame didn’t know that puppies could grin, but if they did, Junno had definitely just grinned, “It’s okay” he said brightly and reassuringly, “It could have been worse - I could have been a frog. No one wants to kiss a frog.”
“True,” Kame said, nodding, “Well, I wish you luck in your…maiden search.” he said as he continued on his way.
It was another two hours before he got to a town. Almost immediately, he saw a poster advertising the royal ball that was to be held that night, which was probably why everyone looked so busy and in a hurry. He tilted his head as he watched people moving quickly through the streets and he decided that he would stay for the night and attend the ball. Maybe he would finally find one of those damsels in distress.
He really needed to find one, because he had told Prince Tegoshi that he would definitely find one and Prince Kame didn’t like being wrong.
He soon found an inn to stay in and paid for his room before he went out to buy something appropriate to wear to the ball. On his way there, he stopped in the middle of the road when he saw an interesting scene that really intrigued him. Translation: he was bored and he got lost, not knowing which way to turn, so he followed a random set of people.
“I can’t believe you!” Ryo was shouting angrily, as he dragged Yamapi along, making note to pull at Yamapi’s hair just for good measure, “You - you…”
“WAH! Ryo-chan!” Yamapi wailed, “Stop pulling my hair!”
“You - you…that was my lollipop!”
“The doctor gave it to me!” Yamapi insisted.
“YOU. ATE. MY. LOLLIPOP” Ryo shouted, “It was MINE. This is just like the time I got my tonsils removed and you ate my ice cream then too! Stupid Pi!” he stomped off.
“WAH! Ryo-chan! I’m sorry! I’ll do your chores for you?”
“I don’t HAVE any chores. It’s YOUR turn to be the stupidly hardworking person who does all the chores remember?”
“…oh…”
“And you can dance by yourself at the ball tonight. I refuse to dance with you - LOLLIPOP STEALER!” Ryo fumed as he ran off, leaving Yamapi standing there.
Kame blinked three times after watching this scene, and suddenly with a puff of smoke, Ueda appeared, with fairy wings. And a wand. And well, he was a fairy.
Kame blinked again.
“…a fairy?”
“Yes,” Ueda said irritably, “Now who’s the one who needed a fairy godfather?”
“…um…”
“…I know SOMEONE here needs some magic done on him so that he can attract a prince and then run away from the prince at the stroke of midnight, only to be found again so that he can live happily ever after with the prince. It’s in my fairy handbook you know.”
“…I’m already a prince,” Kame said, backing away. He pointed at Yamapi who was pouting and calling out for ‘Ryo-chan!’, “Try him?”
Ueda looked at him, tilting his head and fluttered over to Yamapi, who was still wailing for “Ryo-chan”. Yamapi looked up when he saw Ueda and grinned, “Fairy godmother?” he asked hopefully.
“Godfather,” Ueda corrected.
“…can you bring Ryo-chan back to me?” Yamapi asked, “…he ran off, and now it’ll take me twice as long to find my way back home.”
He had yet to find out why the city had decided to build the neighbourhood like a maze. He always got lost and then Ryo would have to come and find him. And then Ryo would yell at him for being an idiot.
“No.”
“What?”
“N-o. No.”
“But -”
“I refuse to bring that menace within fifty yards of me!”
“Huh?”
“That menace,” Ueda sniffed, “I met him in the giant’s castle. He stole my wand, set my wings on fire and then left me to climb down the beanstalk by myself. I refuse to have anything to do with him!”
Yamapi pouted, “I don’t remember that!”
“He tried to do black magic, turned you into a cow, and then he sold you for some magic beans. Which was how the beanstalk thing started…”
Kame decided to leave before he could hear the rest of the conversation.
--
“You set Ueda’s wings on wire?!” Pi asked in alarm, turning accusing eyes on Ryo.
Ryo sighed.
“And then you sold me?! Ryo, how could you?!”
Ryo sighed again.
Kame, who was currently fighting off Jin’s attempts to hug his leg, stopped to pat Ryo's shoulder consolingly.
Ueda glared, “First of all, why am I even here at this party?” he said, scowling at Jin, “And second of all,” he glared at Ryo, “Why aren’t you Cinderella so I can turn you into a pumpkin?...or a carrot.” he said, mumbling something about feeding Ryo to a horse.
Ryo glared.
Kame rolled his eyes, “You’ll see, Tat-chan. And Jin? Please stop trying to hug my leg.”
Ryo twitched and promptly kicked Jin.
--
Ryo scowled as he followed the rest of the sharply dressed townsfolk into the castle. He had stormed off early and he just knew that Pi had gotten lost again, and thus, had spent an entire afternoon looking for Pi. He hadn’t been able to find the younger man though and he had gotten annoyed because he had wasted an entire afternoon.
He decided to just head to the ball and he figured that Pi would get here eventually anyways. There was no way even Pi could get lost on the way to the castle.
Or so Ryo thought.
Two hours later, Ryo was bored and he had yet to find Pi. The prince had yet to dance with anyone and he seemed to be scanning the crowd looking for someone in particular. Ryo sighed dramatically.
“I’m bored,” he muttered at the same time that he heard a scream come from the direction of the corner not too far away from him. Curious, he stood up and walked over, only to have someone scream and run past him, getting away from the horrible -
Young man sitting in the corner?
Ryo blinked as he looked at the man who was obviously a noble of some sort. There was an innocent smile on his face that Ryo didn’t quite believe, seeing as he had just sent two fully grown men screaming in terror in the span of a few seconds.
Kame looked up when Ryo approached and with a sigh, prepared to get his secret weapon out again. This had to be the tenth guy to mistake him for a girl and tried to hit on him. It really wasn’t his fault that the stupid seamstress had gotten his measurements wrong so he had gotten clothes a few sizes too big, so that the shirt kept falling off his shoulders and revealing a lot of skin. It really wasn’t.
“If you try to hit on me, I swear, I will bring out my secret weapon,” he warned sweetly.
Ryo blinked and then scowled, “What makes you think I’ll be scared by your secret weapon?” he taunted.
“That’s what they all said,” Kame replied mournfully.
“…Ha! Let’s see what you’ve got! It’ll pass the time until my stupid step-brother shows up and I can hit him for making me look for him all afternoon.”
Kame smiled disarmingly and pulled out a huge book - Ryo had to wonder where he had pulled that book out from but he decided to ignore it - and opened it to the first page. Ryo blinked, and looked at the title. Then he began to get a bad feeling and inched backwards.
Kame beamed at Ryo as he started to read, “The History of and Guide to Prince Charming, ultimate volume: an accumulation of all four hundred and fifty nine volumes of The History of and Guide to Prince Charming. Chapter one: the history. Prince Charming is a term referred to by many maidens in all kingdoms as a prince - or a noble - that would one day sweep them off their feet, whom they shall share a true love’s kiss with. Then they shall happily go off into the sunset and live happily ever after. The first Prince Charming was -”
“What the hell is that?!” Ryo shouted, pointing accusingly, “What the hell?!”
Kame blinked innocently, “It’s my homework.”
“Homework?” Ryo asked disbelievingly.
“Homework,” Kame said solemnly, “I started reading at the first chapter for you, but I’m actually on the four hundredth chapter. Would you like me to start there instead?”
Ryo's eyes widened.
“You are evil,” he muttered.
Kame smiled sweetly, “Am not. I’m just protecting myself. Now, are you going to go run away screaming and admit failure in your attempt to hit on me and call me a girl, or am I going to have to keep reading?”
Ryo stared, “You’re evil…” he paused, “I think I’m in -”
“In the year 1107, a witch by the name of -”
Ryo knew that there was one sure fire way to shut the other man up. It was time for drastic measures - Ryo pulled on Kame’s arm and yanked him forward, and the younger man let out a surprised yelp when he suddenly found Ryo's lips on his, the older man’s arm wrapping around Kame’s waist. Brown eyes widened and stared, shocked, into Ryo's, who smirked just a little as he pulled away, “Well,” he said, his face just inches away from Kame’s.
“You - you kissed me!”
“Yes, yes I did,” Ryo grinned, “Want to do that again?”
“You kissed me!”
“I’ll take that as a yes,” Ryo smirked as he leaned in to kiss Kame again. This time, the younger man was expecting it, but found that he couldn’t bring his hands up to stop Ryo, and found himself being kissed again.
And again.
It was finally, with his hair messed up and looking a bit dazed, that Kame turned to Ryo, “Will you at least dance with me before you kiss me…again?” he asked, a pout gracing his lips, “If I couldn’t find a damsel in distress to bring home as my princess, I need to at least have a dance with you to make sure you’re my true love.”
Ryo smirked, “Of course,” he said, extending a hand out to Kame, who took it and then he grinned as he led Kame out onto the dance floor, “You do know, of course, that you’re actually the damsel in distress.”
“What?” Kame yelped, eyes wide.
“Watch” Ryo stepped to the side just a little, letting Kame be seen by a group standing by the wall, and as they - Kame realized they had all been people that Kame had scared away with his homework - approached, Ryo promptly stopped dancing for a moment to kick them all in the shins. Kame winced and Ryo turned back to him and started dancing again as though nothing had happened.
Kame grumbled for a moment, before tilting his head at Ryo, “Well, at least my prince charming isn’t an idiot,” he allowed begrudgingly.
Ryo laughed.
“But,” Kame pouted, “All that studying for nothing!”
Ryo could only laugh more as he swung Kame in a little twirl halfway during their dance. It was then that he noticed something strange across the dance floor.
It seemed Yamapi had found his way to the castle.
“Ryo-chan!” Yamapi said happily, “Guess what? I met a prince!” he pointed to the man who was currently dancing with Yamapi.
“Prince Kusano” Kame said in surprise.
“Prince Kame?” Kusano said, equally surprised. Before the two princes could actually say anything to each other though, the clock struck midnight and Pi cursed, before he started to run off. Ryo rolled his eyes. He always had to be the smart brother didn’t he? He tackled Pi to the ground and wrestled the glass shoe off his foot, and then he pointed to the doors, “Go. And follow the neon signs I put up on my way here. If you get lost again, it’s his job to find you, not me. I’m going to his kingdom and becoming a prince,” he said as he reached for Kame, and held him possessively against his chest.
Kusano picked up the glass shoe, “…wait!” he called, running after Yamapi.
Kame was pouting, “Am I the only one who studied for nothing?”
Ryo grinned, “You can be my prince charming,” he said, as he tilted the younger man’s head so that he could kiss him. Kame was smiling after they broke apart, and then he nodded, “Okay.” he said cutely as he yanked on Ryo's hand, and dragged him to a corner of the ballroom.
“So…can I have my prince’s kiss?” Ryo asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Hmm, do you think you’re my true love?”
“Let’s try kissing again to find out” Ryo suggested eagerly.
Kame just laughed, “I think I already know,” he said, and kissed Ryo again.
--
And they lived happily ever after. Thanks to Ryo, Yamapi didn’t get lost on the way home and the next day, Kusano just decided to follow those neon signs that Ryo put up, and found Yamapi right away. Both brothers left their parents’ home (“Finally!!!” Tackey screamed as he dragged Tsubasa on a trip around the world now that their children were gone) and went to live in large palaces.
Ueda the fairy godfather messed up a transportation spell twice, and the first time, he came upon Prince Junno the Puppy, and since he was rather disorientated from the transportation spell at the time, kissed the prince and Junno turned back into a human, and decided he would be with Ueda for the rest of his life.
The second time Ueda messed up the transportation spell, he found himself in a high tower with only one window and a man with long hair, who was mumbling that maybe letting the rock-throwing Prince climb his hair was better than sitting here bored.
Ueda was trapped in the tower with Junno and Jin for two whole days before he could figure out how to get the transportation spell to work again and then by that time, Jin decided that magic was SO cool and he wanted to do it too, so Ueda the fairy had no choice but to grant Jin’s wish of being a fairy.
Thus, Jin became a fairy and got to do cool things like blowing stuff up (accidentally) with his new magic.
And they all lived happily ever after.
--
Silence.
Suddenly, all of the juniors started screaming at once, lunging for pillows and diving for cover under furniture. Even some of the older ones had started to do this. By the end of this, Koyama and Shige were hiding under Ryo's bed, Tegoshi and Massu were peeking out from Ryo's closet, Kanjani8 were huddled in a corner of the room, and the group of juniors were taking cover under a table.
Ryo merely grinned and Kame was examining his fingernails calmly. Then they looked at each other and laughed while Jin, who was sitting in the middle of the room, looked both sad and confused.
“Looks like it worked,” Ryo commented aloud.
Kame laughed, “You think?”
Koki poked his head out, “That is so not fair! You made the image of Jin in tights and a fairy costume pop up in my head! Take back the image! It's a horrible form of torture!!”
“I give up. You two win!” Maru added.
“I never want to hear a horror story from Nishikido-senpai and Kamenashi-senpai ever again,” a junior whimpered.
Kame and Ryo grinned at each other and then Ryo took Kame’s hand. He leaned in to whisper something in Kame’s ear. Kame laughed. Ryo pulled Kame to his feet and led him out of the living room.
Ryo stopped to say, “Jin, are those wings I see on your back~?” before he flicked off the light switch, snickering at the screams that followed. The screams were followed by the war cries of everyone attacking Jin with pillows, in fear that he had decided to become the fairy from the story. Apparently, nobody wanted to see Jin in tights and a fairy costume.
“So, did you enjoy your birthday?“ Kame asked.
“I did,” Ryo's lips curled up into a smile, “And do you know what else would make it better?”
“True love’s kiss?” Kame guessed, looking at Ryo with a smile.
“Exactly,” Ryo said and Kame soon found himself pressed against the wall, with Ryo kissing him. He wrapped his arms around Ryo to bring the older man closer, “I think I like this true love’s kiss,” he murmured as they broke apart for a moment, before they kissed once more.
