Author: Stephie
Genre: Crack/Humour
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Arioka Daiki x Morimoto Ryutaro (and others)
Disclaimer: DO NOT OWN!
Summary: Ryutaro’s dislike for Daiki’s light brown hair causes him to create a concoction that would fix that colour; in return, he screws up horribly and has to pay for his mistake.
Author’s Note: Even though this is super late I don’t even care, I told Jen (chibilover14 ) that I’d write it for her and I’m just now getting around to doing it. Getting stopped for an entire month has made me upset that I missed my penguin’s birthday but his fic will come up. I won’t miss his birthday. *puts on determined face*. Hope you like this one
As they so often are, Hey! Say! JUMP was on tour, in a hotel far away from the concert hall as to keep hidden, mostly from the general public while on their off hours. They were picked up every day by the different various drivers that they needed and brought to the stage. They were roomed with each other, two to a room and it made it easy since that was how it usually was. Yabu with Inoo nothing new there, they had the same sleeping patterns, Takaki with Yamada, again not unusual, they were lovers anyway so it wasn’t thing new, Hikaru with Keito, a clear match since Keito was beating Hikaru at pool and Hikaru was determined to stay up as long as possible to do it and as to not bother their roommates they decided to bunk together, Chinen went with Ryutaro but was at first reluctant but when bribed with a new video game that he had, Ryutaro couldn’t turn him down and that left Yuto with Daiki, again not unusual, Yuto would probably plan to prank one of the members and keep Daiki with him as an accomplice.
Being the conformist he was, Daiki followed the rest of BEST’s tradition as you could say and dyed his hair brown, it was a strange thing at first seeing as though he hadn’t fully done it before, sure a few highlights here and there but what was a whole head of hair worth it? Yes it really was. The only BEST member left was Inoo, but he was still in school, technically, so maybe afterwards? But whatever. Daiki and the other member’s including all the fans loved his brown hair, unfortunately someone in the group did not like it and he was determined to secretly do something about it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today was an especially tiring day for it was one of the concerts in the middle of the week that meant their talks were getting more boring as well they were losing some of their energy, honestly all they wanted to do was sleep and that was what they did when they got back, it may have only been dinner time but for the members of Hey! Say! JUMP it was bedtime. They could eat later, the only person left awake was the schemer, he was determined to make it happen before this tour was over, oh yes he had a plan, and if done right, the penguin won’t see it coming.
“So how do you like your hair Dai-chan?” Yuto asked sleepily as he lay in his bed.
“I love it, I’m glad I’m finally able to do it though, school rules no longer apply to me” a sleepy Daiki replied to his friend then he got an idea, “Ooh maybe I’ll go platinum blonde next like Taguchi-kun, he looks good that way, how do you think I would look?”
“Honestly, I don’t think it would work, your cute chubby cheeks aren’t the right look for platinum blonde, sorry, you look good the way you are now, please don’t be mad.”
“I’m not mad, I’m glad for you’re honestly, even though you had to make fun of me for doing it. You owe me.”
“I know. Once the tour is done I’ll buy you a bunch of boxes of pocky, for an apology as well as a graduation present alright? I realized I hadn’t gotten you anything.”
“Yuto, you don’t need to do that, honestly you don’t, but if it’s Pocky, I won’t turn it down. Just not strawberry, Yama-chan ate all of mine last time.”
“Yeah he does that,” Yuto laughed, “I’ll let you pick them out then and we’ll take them straight to your house so there will be no Yama-chan interrupting your pocky picking procedure. Deal?”
“Sounds good, now how about we get some sleep, I’m exhausted.” Daiki said to his roommate who was already out cold. “Silly Yuto,” Daiki said in the darkness then drifted off to sleep. Neither roommates were bothered by the youngest member of Hey! Say! JUMP creeping into the hotel room and stealing Daiki’s bag.
“Hehehehehe,” Ryutaro laughed diabolically, “He’ll never know what hit him,” he said as he got back to his room, me noticed Chinen was asleep so he did the dirty deed in the bathroom instead. He threw Daiki’s bag on the counter and opened it in a rush, he searched through it until he found what he was looking for, a certain bottle and then added his specially mixed Ryutaro potion, named “stuff”, to it, making him smile like a maniac, “this will work.”
He quietly rushed to get Daiki’s bag back into his room and make sure that everything was in the same spot as it was before, that was a harder task but once it was almost right, he closed it and left the dark room. Not realizing that there was one person actually awake there, a creeper lurking in the shadow’s of the room. The creeper left and went to his own room, interested as to what had happened, but yet curious as to what Ryutaro actually did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inoo was shirtless in his bed and reading a magazine when he saw the hotel room door open and close and his roommate walk in, “Where were you?” Inoo asked his roommate, “You were gone for awhile.”
“Sorry, Kei-chan, I was observing something happen, though I don’t know what yet, we’ll see tomorrow I guess.”
“I guess, promise you’ll tell me in the morning?” Inoo watched his roommate undress and then crawl into bed beside him.
He wrapped his thin arms around the upper body of his roommate who then answered, “Cross my heart, but I won’t need to tell you, we’ll either hear about it or see it in the morning, you can trust me on that one.”
“Alright, I trust you, let’s get some sleep,” Inoo changed positioned and allowed arms to be wrapped around himself as the two of them fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Do I have some news for you Yama-chan!” Takaki said happily as he jumped into bed with his lover.
“What is it?” Yamada asked curiously.
“You know how I went to get ice, because well we’re a little hot,” Takaki paused for acknowledgement, but instead watched his lover blush in memory of what they had just done, “well at first I didn’t think anything of it but I watched as Ryutaro brought a bag from Yuto and Dai-chan’s room, at first I was confused and everything especially since Ryutaro has this, sort of like evil face on that was quite scary so I stayed hidden around the corner, then I saw him bring the bag with a more evil face on.”
“Is there a point to this story?”
“I’m getting there, Ryutaro did something to either Daiki’s or Yuto’s things and made sure he wasn’t caught, at first I was like hooray because I caught him and then I could be a hero and tell Dai-chan.”
“Or a rat for tattling on Ryutaro,” Yamada interrupted.
“Yeah or that, so I stayed there in my hidden spot around the corner for a couple of minutes just to make sure when I saw Dai-chan and Yuto’s door open, it was Yabu! He was in there too! But his face was more of one with curiosity on it and not diabolically evil. Anyways I watched as Yabu walked to his room and then I came here. Aren’t you curious as to what had just gone on?”
“Not really,” Yamada answered him, “I’m only interested in one thing, you.” Yamada pulled Takaki down into another heated kiss and which elevated quickly making the ice, which Takaki had just gotten, melt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The morning came all too quickly for Ryutaro who was super excited to see his “gift” on Daiki. He had gotten up much earlier than necessary but he still had the energy of Shintaro on sugar and he didn’t mind. He could probably race Chinen right now and win, that was how hyper he was. He had shower and changed before Chinen even bothered to roll out of bed.
“Why are you so energetic this morning?” Chinen asked while rubbing his eyes, “did you eat a lot of sugar in your dreams last night?”
“Nope, I just feel excited today, we’re almost done tour right so we need to be energetic as the first one.”
“True, but that is not for another six hours, we have time to get energetic, now if you’ll excuse me,” Chinen literally rolled out of his bed and landed with a thud on the floor, he got up and drudged over to the shower.
“Enjoy!” Ryutaro said too happily, but he just couldn’t help it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The members of Hey! Say! JUMP had planned that they would meet for breakfast, and with Ryutaro being first he waited for the members to make their way to the breakfast area of the hotel. One by one they met downstairs with Ryutaro waiting anxiously and getting more and more anxious until the table filled up with members, there were only two people missing Yuto and Daiki. ‘Wait no, that’s a mistake its, just Daiki now.’ Ryutaro thought to himself.
“Dai-chan is on his way, I heard the shower stop as I was leaving so he should be here soon.” Yuto said as he sat down between the empty seat and Yamada who was busy munching on Strawberries.
“Oh, my, god.” Keito said as he looked up from his breakfast a few minutes later. At the door was a very disgruntled Daiki, who no longer had beautiful brown hair but rather a head of hair that was black, red brown and white.
“Did you go to a salon yesterday Dai-chan?” Hikaru asked while trying not to laugh. This caused the others to look up, many of them with wide eyes, including Ryutaro’s. That was not supposed to happen.
“No why? Something wrong?” Daiki asked, it was clear that he was trying to be casual about it.
“Nothing, Dai-chan, it’s just that your head decided to sprout a rainbow today,” Chinen said innocently.
Tears to welled up in Daiki’s eyes and then, in response, he ran far away from the others and back to his room. The only person who could get to him now was Yuto, because he had the other key. Daiki immediately locked himself in the bathroom and turned the shower back on, he doused his head under the water to make what ever this was wash out, but when it didn’t after about ten minutes of mixed tears and shower water he shut it off and dried his hair. “Why me?” Daiki asked himself, “Why was I the one that got pranked this time, I didn’t do anything this time, I made sure I stayed awake around the others, I only ate food that I ordered or brought with me, I always checked my seat before I sat down, why me?”
“Dai-chan, come out of there,” Yabu’s voice was on the other side of the bathroom door. “Yuto gave me his key, and it’s just me, it’s not that bad, we can just go to the salon and get it fixed, it’s not that bad.”
“Not that bad? My hair is four colours!” Daiki said as he wrenched open the bathroom door and threw himself in Yabu’s arms. “You’ve never had to deal with this before Yabu; I don’t even know who did it.”
“I may have an idea, but only a hunch, c’mon let’s hide your hair and get you to a salon right now.” Yabu said while giving Daiki a hat. “Don’t worry about the culprit; I have Kei-chan on it.”
“Oh joy.” Daiki said sarcastically as Yabu led him outside of the hotel and into a waiting car.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daiki and Yabu returned to the now concert hall where the other members were waiting for dress rehearsal to start. Daiki was a brunette once again, but a little darker this time, and the look on Yabu’s face was not a happy one. But it was not to be dealt with now. Now they needed to rehearse and become perfect in a little over two hours. Yabu would deal with the culprit later.
“Wow Dai-chan, that looks even better than before!” Inoo said when they returned. “We’ve been practicing pretty hard, we’re almost ready.”
“Thanks Kei-chan,” Daiki said, he was still a little embarrassed about earlier. “Let’s practice and get me as perfect as you guys okay?”
“Right!” Yabu said agreeing with that plan. There was only one person who was not so happy about Daiki’s new hair, but he wasn’t about to tell the entire group that he was the one who did it. Especially since he didn’t know that four of them already knew who had done it, they were just waiting for him to make the move.
“Ryutaro! How do you like it?” Daiki asked going straight towards him, I know you weren’t too fond of my last hair style. Do you like this one?”
“Wh-who said I wasn’t fond of it? I never said that, this one is alright, I guess,” Ryutaro answered cautiously, a little taken back that Daiki knew something he didn’t tell anyone.
“No one told me anything, I had this feeling that you didn’t like it more than anyone else,” Daiki answered back, the rest of the group were intently listening but still going on with their practices, “Weird huh?”
“A little bit, I’m sorry Dai-chan, I didn’t like your old one very much but this is better, I guess.”
“Okay, let’s practice,” Daiki seemed to like that answer and went to join the others. He got a weird look from Yabu but instead of saying anything or making a noise, Daiki just smiled in acknowledgement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the concert, Daiki was allowed to use Yuto’s shampoo instead of his own since that was the culprit in the first place, and came out luckily with the same coloured hair as he went in with. “What a relief,” he told Yuto as he dried his hair.
“Do you have any idea who did it?” Yuto asked innocently, I mean Kei-chan like interrogated us to the fullest I mean I had no idea, Yama-chan said he may have known something but he wasn’t spilling, at least not to me, which made me sad because he’s keeping it from me. But you~”
“It wasn’t Yama-chan, don’t worry, he didn’t sneak in here without our knowledge. Though two people did, you were out like a light last night weren’t you?”
“Yeah I was exhausted, why what happened?”
“It was Ryutaro, he must have put something in my shampoo to do that to me,” Daiki said casually.
“Wait you knew and you still used it anyways?”
“No, I didn’t know what he did, all I know is that he took my bag, rifled through it and then brought it back, I didn’t know he sabotaged my shampoo, trust me if I knew that I would have asked for yours. I thought it was something else, but I was wrong and I dealt with the consequences, but Yabu-kun is also at fault because he was in here as well, in the shadows, I only knew that because I saw him leave, he must of came in when we weren’t noticing, he’s like a ninja that one. But he didn’t stop Ryutaro either. But it’s alright, Yabu is making the culprit pay for my new dye.”
“But that would like drain Ryutaro of his money.”
“Yeah and?” Daiki asked harshly, “did you see what he did to my hair?”
“Yeah but Dai-chan, wait when did you get so evil? I like it.”
“When someone that I really like messes with me, I tend to mess back,” Daiki said in a mischievous voice.
Yuto seemed to take this as a good answer, “How did you know anyways? Were you awake?”
“Yeah, well not at first but once I heard someone come in and take something and leave I was lightly sleeping, then when the door opened again, it was Ryutaro bringing back my bag, so I knew it was him.”
“You are very sneaky my friend, you shall join me in my next prank.”
“No Yuto, I’m not that kind of person, which is your thing. You know I’m not mean unless I have to be.”
“But it’s harmless fun Dai-chan.”
“You only think that because you aren’t usually on the receiving end of one of those pranks. Don’t worry I won’t say a thing, I’m waiting for him to apologize, so for now I’m going to play dumb and innocent, and I’ll make him sweat it out.”
“Diabolical, I love you,” Yuto said coming closer and leaning in for a hug but Daiki thought it was something else.
“No, no, no, back off crazy boy,” Daiki said putting his arms out and trying to push him back. Too bad Yuto’s arms were longer than Daiki’s and managed to push passed his arms and give Daiki a hug.
“Your evilness is just so cute!” Yuto said while still giving his friend an awkward hug.
“Thanks, I guess, it’s not really that evil though,” Daiki accepted the hug.
“But it’s trying to be and that makes it cute.”
“Great,” Daiki said sarcastically, he rolled his eyes, waved a goodbye and then left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daiki took himself for a walk around the hotel, all he really wanted to do was sleep since today was an exhausting day but something told him to go for a walk, so he did. His legs took him to the roof of the hotel where customers could go to relax and lounge in the outdoor foliage that was up there. It was a good break from the lack of forest where one would go walking but Daiki enjoyed it. There were several different kinds of flowers in a rainbow of colours as well as an area for customers to swim or tan during the day, it was a nice little set up they had up here but since it was night time it was deserted.
Daiki sat himself in one of the lounge chairs and grabbed his box of pocky that he kept stashed in his pocket just in case, and started munching on a stick when he saw another person join him. “Hello,” Daiki said politely, all he could see was that there was another person.
“Dai-chan, I’ve been looking for you,” Ryutaro said softly, “I went to your room but Yuto said you went for a walk.”
“Yeah I came up here for some air, you know a little break before bed type thing,” Daiki explained, “What did you need?”
“I wanted to apologize.”
“Whatever for?” Daiki asked with his innocent face.
“For doing that to you this morning, it’s killing me that I did that to you, all I wanted to do was make your hair black again but it went multi-coloured and I so super sorry I’ve been trying to apologize all day but we were always surrounded by people, I’m so super sorry, the multi-colours were an accident, honestly I just wanted it to be black, you look so much better when you have black hair and then you followed BEST’s tradition and dyed it immediately, that upset me a bit because I like you so much and when you did that it just made me so angry, I couldn’t believe you did that and then I wanted to get back at you and~”
Ryutaro was rambling, but Daiki caught every word including the confession. “Shut-up,” Daiki interrupted softly. “Did you just say you liked me?” Daiki asked just to make sure.
Ryutaro was dumbfounded, “Did I?”
“Sounded like you did,” Daiki smiled, “if I heard you correctly it was ‘that upset me a bit because I like you so much and when you did that it just made me so angry’ am I right?” Ryutaro stood like a deer in headlights. “Well I like you too, and even though you did this to me, I guess something good came out of it right?”
“Wh-wh-what’s that?” Ryutaro stuttered. He had no idea that Daiki returned his feelings.
“I got a new hair colour, duh, and you’re paying for it,” Daiki smiled. Ryutaro gave him a confused look, so Daiki explained, “Yabu decided that the culprit, you, will pay for my new hair colour.”
“What?” Ryutaro asked in disbelief. “He did not.”
“He did, he promised me, because we are on tour and that was a dirty rotten trick you pulled, so yes you get to pay me.”
“Fine,” Ryutaro said and dug out his wallet from his pants pocket.
“Oh no, I didn’t say with money,” Daiki said mischeviously.
“With what then? What do I need to do?” Ryutaro asked sincerely, “Is it this?” Ryutaro leaned in to Daiki and placed a chaste kiss on his lips. “Or this?” Ryutaro kissed him a little more, “Or this?” Ryutaro gave Daiki a full on kiss that Daiki happily returned.
When they broke apart from their heated kiss Ryutaro turned away and blushed into the darkness in prayer that Daiki was not seeing him blush. “Ryutaro?” Daiki asked, “Are you blushing because of me?”
“No,” Ryutaro turned away even farther, “I’m not blushing.”
Daiki wasn’t convinced so instead he just pulled the younger boy into his lap on the chair and wrapped his arms around the younger boy, “It’s alright, I’m blushing too.”
“So…” Ryutaro asked softly, “How do you want to be paid?”
Author’s Note: So how did you like it? It’s not super humours as it could have been, but I’ve never written a DaiRyu before, it was an interestingly hard try, and I probably won’t be doing it often, I don’t know why though. Please comment criticize and send me confetti!

“Do I have some news for you Yama-chan!” Takaki said happily as he jumped into bed with his lover.

“You know how I went to get ice, because well we’re a little hot,” Takaki paused for acknowledgement, but instead watched his lover blush in memory of what they had just done, “well at first I didn’t think anything of it but I watched as Ryutaro brought a bag from Yuto and Dai-chan’s room, at first I was confused and everything especially since Ryutaro has this, sort of like evil face on that was quite scary so I stayed hidden around the corner, then I saw him bring the bag with a more evil face on.”

The morning came all too quickly for Ryutaro who was super excited to see his “gift” on Daiki.

“Nope, I just feel excited today, we’re almost done tour right so we need to be energetic as the first one.”
“True, but that is not for another six hours, we have time to get energetic, now if you’ll excuse me,” Chinen literally rolled out of his bed and landed with a thud on the floor, he got up and drudged over to the shower.
“Enjoy!” Ryutaro said too happily, but he just couldn’t help it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The members of Hey! Say! JUMP had planned that they would meet for breakfast, and with Ryutaro being first he waited for the members to make their way to the breakfast area of the hotel. One by one they met downstairs with Ryutaro waiting anxiously and getting more and more anxious until the table filled up with members, there were only two people missing Yuto and Daiki. ‘Wait no, that’s a mistake its, just Daiki now.’ Ryutaro thought to himself.
“Dai-chan is on his way, I heard the shower stop as I was leaving so he should be here soon.” Yuto said as he sat down between the empty seat and Yamada who was busy munching on Strawberries.
“Oh, my, god.” Keito said as he looked up from his breakfast a few minutes later. At the door was a very disgruntled Daiki, who no longer had beautiful brown hair but rather a head of hair that was black, red brown and white.
“Did you go to a salon yesterday Dai-chan?” Hikaru asked while trying not to laugh. This caused the others to look up, many of them with wide eyes, including Ryutaro’s. That was not supposed to happen.

“Not that bad? My hair is four colours!” Daiki said as he wrenched open the bathroom door and threw himself in Yabu’s arms. “You’ve never had to deal with this before Yabu; I don’t even know who did it.”
“I may have an idea, but only a hunch, c’mon let’s hide your hair and get you to a salon right now.” Yabu said while giving Daiki a hat. “Don’t worry about the culprit; I have Kei-chan on it.”
“Oh joy.” Daiki said sarcastically as Yabu led him outside of the hotel and into a waiting car.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daiki and Yabu returned to the now concert hall where the other members were waiting for dress rehearsal to start. Daiki was a brunette once again, but a little darker this time, and the look on Yabu’s face was not a happy one. But it was not to be dealt with now. Now they needed to rehearse and become perfect in a little over two hours. Yabu would deal with the culprit later.
“Wow Dai-chan, that looks even better than before!” Inoo said when they returned. “We’ve been practicing pretty hard, we’re almost ready.”
“Thanks Kei-chan,” Daiki said, he was still a little embarrassed about earlier. “Let’s practice and get me as perfect as you guys okay?”
“Right!” Yabu said agreeing with that plan. There was only one person who was not so happy about Daiki’s new hair, but he wasn’t about to tell the entire group that he was the one who did it. Especially since he didn’t know that four of them already knew who had done it, they were just waiting for him to make the move.
“Ryutaro! How do you like it?” Daiki asked going straight towards him, I know you weren’t too fond of my last hair style. Do you like this one?”
“Wh-who said I wasn’t fond of it? I never said that, this one is alright, I guess,” Ryutaro answered cautiously, a little taken back that Daiki knew something he didn’t tell anyone.
“No one told me anything, I had this feeling that you didn’t like it more than anyone else,” Daiki answered back, the rest of the group were intently listening but still going on with their practices, “Weird huh?”
“A little bit, I’m sorry Dai-chan, I didn’t like your old one very much but this is better, I guess.”
“Okay, let’s practice,” Daiki seemed to like that answer and went to join the others. He got a weird look from Yabu but instead of saying anything or making a noise, Daiki just smiled in acknowledgement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the concert, Daiki was allowed to use Yuto’s shampoo instead of his own since that was the culprit in the first place, and came out luckily with the same coloured hair as he went in with. “What a relief,” he told Yuto as he dried his hair.
“Do you have any idea who did it?” Yuto asked innocently, I mean Kei-chan like interrogated us to the fullest I mean I had no idea, Yama-chan said he may have known something but he wasn’t spilling, at least not to me, which made me sad because he’s keeping it from me. But you~”
“It wasn’t Yama-chan, don’t worry, he didn’t sneak in here without our knowledge. Though two people did, you were out like a light last night weren’t you?”
“Yeah I was exhausted, why what happened?”
“It was Ryutaro, he must have put something in my shampoo to do that to me,” Daiki said casually.
“Wait you knew and you still used it anyways?”
“No, I didn’t know what he did, all I know is that he took my bag, rifled through it and then brought it back, I didn’t know he sabotaged my shampoo, trust me if I knew that I would have asked for yours. I thought it was something else, but I was wrong and I dealt with the consequences, but Yabu-kun is also at fault because he was in here as well, in the shadows, I only knew that because I saw him leave, he must of came in when we weren’t noticing, he’s like a ninja that one. But he didn’t stop Ryutaro either. But it’s alright, Yabu is making the culprit pay for my new dye.”
“But that would like drain Ryutaro of his money.”
“Yeah and?” Daiki asked harshly, “did you see what he did to my hair?”
“Yeah but Dai-chan, wait when did you get so evil? I like it.”
“When someone that I really like messes with me, I tend to mess back,” Daiki said in a mischievous voice.
Yuto seemed to take this as a good answer, “How did you know anyways? Were you awake?”
“Yeah, well not at first but once I heard someone come in and take something and leave I was lightly sleeping, then when the door opened again, it was Ryutaro bringing back my bag, so I knew it was him.”
“You are very sneaky my friend, you shall join me in my next prank.”
“No Yuto, I’m not that kind of person, which is your thing. You know I’m not mean unless I have to be.”
“But it’s harmless fun Dai-chan.”
“You only think that because you aren’t usually on the receiving end of one of those pranks. Don’t worry I won’t say a thing, I’m waiting for him to apologize, so for now I’m going to play dumb and innocent, and I’ll make him sweat it out.”
“Diabolical, I love you,” Yuto said coming closer and leaning in for a hug but Daiki thought it was something else.
“No, no, no, back off crazy boy,” Daiki said putting his arms out and trying to push him back. Too bad Yuto’s arms were longer than Daiki’s and managed to push passed his arms and give Daiki a hug.
“Your evilness is just so cute!” Yuto said while still giving his friend an awkward hug.
“Thanks, I guess, it’s not really that evil though,” Daiki accepted the hug.
“But it’s trying to be and that makes it cute.”
“Great,” Daiki said sarcastically, he rolled his eyes, waved a goodbye and then left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daiki took himself for a walk around the hotel, all he really wanted to do was sleep since today was an exhausting day but something told him to go for a walk, so he did. His legs took him to the roof of the hotel where customers could go to relax and lounge in the outdoor foliage that was up there. It was a good break from the lack of forest where one would go walking but Daiki enjoyed it. There were several different kinds of flowers in a rainbow of colours as well as an area for customers to swim or tan during the day, it was a nice little set up they had up here but since it was night time it was deserted.
Daiki sat himself in one of the lounge chairs and grabbed his box of pocky that he kept stashed in his pocket just in case, and started munching on a stick when he saw another person join him. “Hello,” Daiki said politely, all he could see was that there was another person.
“Dai-chan, I’ve been looking for you,” Ryutaro said softly, “I went to your room but Yuto said you went for a walk.”
“Yeah I came up here for some air, you know a little break before bed type thing,” Daiki explained, “What did you need?”
“I wanted to apologize.”
“Whatever for?” Daiki asked with his innocent face.
“For doing that to you this morning, it’s killing me that I did that to you, all I wanted to do was make your hair black again but it went multi-coloured and I so super sorry I’ve been trying to apologize all day but we were always surrounded by people, I’m so super sorry, the multi-colours were an accident, honestly I just wanted it to be black, you look so much better when you have black hair and then you followed BEST’s tradition and dyed it immediately, that upset me a bit because I like you so much and when you did that it just made me so angry, I couldn’t believe you did that and then I wanted to get back at you and~”
Ryutaro was rambling, but Daiki caught every word including the confession. “Shut-up,” Daiki interrupted softly. “Did you just say you liked me?” Daiki asked just to make sure.
Ryutaro was dumbfounded, “Did I?”
“Sounded like you did,” Daiki smiled, “if I heard you correctly it was ‘that upset me a bit because I like you so much and when you did that it just made me so angry’ am I right?” Ryutaro stood like a deer in headlights. “Well I like you too, and even though you did this to me, I guess something good came out of it right?”
“Wh-wh-what’s that?” Ryutaro stuttered. He had no idea that Daiki returned his feelings.
“I got a new hair colour, duh, and you’re paying for it,” Daiki smiled. Ryutaro gave him a confused look, so Daiki explained, “Yabu decided that the culprit, you, will pay for my new hair colour.”
“What?” Ryutaro asked in disbelief. “He did not.”
“He did, he promised me, because we are on tour and that was a dirty rotten trick you pulled, so yes you get to pay me.”
“Fine,” Ryutaro said and dug out his wallet from his pants pocket.
“Oh no, I didn’t say with money,” Daiki said mischeviously.
“With what then? What do I need to do?” Ryutaro asked sincerely, “Is it this?” Ryutaro leaned in to Daiki and placed a chaste kiss on his lips. “Or this?” Ryutaro kissed him a little more, “Or this?” Ryutaro gave Daiki a full on kiss that Daiki happily returned.
When they broke apart from their heated kiss Ryutaro turned away and blushed into the darkness in prayer that Daiki was not seeing him blush. “Ryutaro?” Daiki asked, “Are you blushing because of me?”
“No,” Ryutaro turned away even farther, “I’m not blushing.”
Daiki wasn’t convinced so instead he just pulled the younger boy into his lap on the chair and wrapped his arms around the younger boy, “It’s alright, I’m blushing too.”
“So…” Ryutaro asked softly, “How do you want to be paid?”
Author’s Note: So how did you like it? It’s not super humours as it could have been, but I’ve never written a DaiRyu before, it was an interestingly hard try, and I probably won’t be doing it often, I don’t know why though. Please comment criticize and send me confetti!
