Summary: Takaki and Inoo, who are rarely paired-up together and known as the most awkward pairing, decide to hang out together once in a while. But then they encounter a situation which is totally messy, confusing, and out of their original plan.
“Ah! That’s a good choice!” Inoo yelled out, pointed to a thin tree in front of them.
“Good choice for what?” Takaki asked
“I will have Zoom photoshoot this weekend. And the theme is related to trees, flowers, and strawberries. Tbh, I am so nervous since I’d rarely done single photoshoot so I think it’s good to have trial first. What do you think?”
“And who’ll take your picture?”
“Who else? It’s only you and me. So, you help me.” He ordered
“What?”
“Didn’t you just borrow Yuto’s camera? I knew you hid it in your bag.”
“Wow… you surely knew a lot of things.” Takaki snorted. He stretched first and then fished out the camera inside his sport bag. True, since Yuto taught him a little bit about photography, somehow, Takaki was currently addicted on it. He got mesmerized at the fact how he could capture a moment that is impossible to be occurred twice, and he wondered if this new hobby worth the time.
“Of course I am. Now, please take my pictures and tell me if I do no good, Takaki-san.”
Takaki laughed at the suffix. “Fine, as long as you’ll pay me sushi”
Inoo was just about to head over when he heard the statement. He hit Takaki’s arm first, but then the older pushed him slightly to just make a pose. So Inoo was there, fixing up his pink blazer and small-stones necklace as he was ready for the shots. They strolled up the street as though they owned the place, and in that moment, they did.
“Should I act like I smell the flowers?” Inoo asked
“Hmm… it’s too mainstream”, Takaki frowned. “How about you pretend to kiss the shaft? It’ll let out your hidden sexiness.”
“Oh so you think I am sexy?”
“Oh my damn. Can you stop being noisy? And yes, you’re sexy. But I’m sexier. Now just get ready for the shoot.”
“Fine. Don’t you even dare to make me look ugly.” Inoo warned.
Takaki just shrugged and settled up proper gesture. He brought the camera upright, placed one eye to scan the view. It was getting late, as the sky was displaying white lines amidst the orange dominant. The spring breeze was lingering on the air, playing with Inoo’s soft brown hair and the leaves were swinging in small gesture. Takaki observed his band-mate through the lenses, adjusted focus to capture the best resolution. But then the more he rolled it, the more he realized how pretty it could be when Inoo’s pale skin was glinting in the sun.
Inoo did what he told him to. Acted like he was about to kiss the lonely flower on that thin stick, closed the eyes. His jawline was eagerly showing-off, exposing his bare neck in sharp angle, which led Takaki to inherit an interest to keep monitoring. And he didn’t know why, somehow a hint of jealousy consumed inside. It was as if he wanted to exchange with the flower, and maintained the beauty in front of him, but-
“Takaki, have you clicked it?”
“Ah! Sorry!” He apologized. Blaming all the sudden thoughts appear in his head. And as though frozen, Takaki let himself capture the moment forever. He pressed the button for about five times, and all of the results looked nearly perfect. Maybe it’s because his tutor is Yuto, or maybe because he has a hidden talent in photography, or maybe, it’s simply because of the object himself.
“Is it over?”
“Oh right, I am done.”
And Inoo smiled widely at Takaki. Approaching him with obvious excitement. He took the camera from the brunet’s hands, grinned even wider at his ability to bring up fresh aura on the photos.
“I am an idol after all.” Inoo declared proudly.
Takaki was just standing silently. Which was a reason of Inoo’s confused stare. But then beyond expectation, Inoo got this sudden nervous tingle all over his body when he realized Takaki’s right hand was tracing on his cheek. So unprepared, unpredictable, and odd. But the thing about odd was that how Inoo secretly loved the way Takaki touched him. Like there were no words needed, eerily killing, but they remained stable on the positions.
Then a moment later, it became one of those beautifully warm spring days that will always be memorized at the back of his head. Because Takaki kissed him. Kissed him with great tenderness flew throughout his touch, under the fallen petals like the whole elements around them appreciated the moment. Kissed him full on the lips. Tobacco-tasted, very mature, and damn-sexy.
Inoo couldn’t really explain how terrified the sensation was. His heart felt like raging, massive and brutal. And he found his weakest point in life, because after all he’d never been so weak, not even when he had stomachache during concert, not even he had sleepless nights during his thesis. It was all about Takaki Yuya.
“You should treat me sushi.” Takaki whispered, not so long after they broke the kiss. The brunet guy quickly put back the camera inside his bag, walked before Inoo as if there was nothing happen.
And it somehow made the younger guy frowned.
“Takaki?”
“Hm?”
“What was-that??”
“………………………….”
“Why you did that?”
“………………………….”
“I asked you what was that?!!!” Inoo shouted, lost his patience after the silent treatment.
Takaki stopped, turned around. “What?”
Inoo left in agape. And no matter how much he was dying because of the kiss, Takaki still need to explain. “You jerk!!!” he cursed, approached the older guy and pushed him with no mercy.
“Awww!! Why did you push me?!!”
“What do you mean?!! Why did you kiss me, stupid?!! Do you want to play Oh-my-god-you-just-kissed-me-but-you-can’t-actually-mean-it-I’ve-been-wanting-you-for-the-past-five-years-you’ve-rejected-me-I-don’t-even-know-how-many-times-you-don’t-mean-it?!”
“Huh?”
“Don’t say that you forget that I confessed to you three years ago but you said you are straight and it took us a year more to make everything back to neutral so we can chat casually again and you never showed me hints of anything and now you suddenly kissed me?!! I am so angry at you Takaki Yuya!!”
“I am angry at you too!!” Takaki shot back
“What?!!!”
“I was so mad at you when you confessed to me that time because huh you should know that I am not gay and I always believe that I am until then, until you made me think about how if I am actually gay and the way you started looking so different in my eyes and then I held myself back from touching you in any conditions, in concert I tried to avoid your stare, in magz shots I tried to not touching you, but then today you posed like that and it’s just two of us here and you made me feel so chaotic because I just figured out how I was being denial all over this time!!”
“It’s because you are a stupid who didn’t realize your feeling and pretend to be philosophical that you are still on the right track like why don’t you just tell me properly if you have feelings for me because you don’t understand how tired the phrase of waiting could actually mean!!!”
“I never told you to wait for me because I thought if maybe you gave up on me then I could wash this feeling as well but then today you asked me to have meal together too and you were being so eager asked me to dive together what can I do then?!!!”
“Why did you scold me?! I am the one who should scold you because now you push me so hard to ride roller-coaster feels and our casual time to hang out together was perfectly ruined because YOU KISSED ME!!”
“I wasn’t the one at fault!!”
“It. Is. Your. FAULT!!”
With one last push, Takaki was defeated. He bumped to the hard street below them. And he was about to curse Inoo with inappropriate word choices but they were caught up in his lump, when abruptly, Inoo jumped to sit on top of his stomach, pulled the collars harshly-
“Screw you, Bakaki!!”
-and eventually crashed his lips upon him without any sign of warning.
But here’s the thing Takaki knew. Even if few seconds ago Inoo kept snarling at him, even if Inoo forced the kiss like an asshole, but then the way he brushed their lips altogether was just something that Takaki couldn’t handle. He could taste Inoo’s waiting years, he could feel Inoo’s real feeling was the real place for answers, like it was indisputable proof that maybe, loving Inoo wasn’t so wrong.
“You the one who should treat me sushi, stupid.” Inoo murmured, attached their sweaty foreheads. And his voice was shaking, thought it wasn’t really visible. But due to Inoo’s standard, it could be counted as one.
“Well, but you should get up from me first. We can continue fighting in my apartment because this isn’t a good spot to have one. People might pass by us, and our faces will spread in newspaper tomorrow with headlines A Fight in Hey! Say! JUMP and I don’t want it to happen.”
The younger guy curved a trembling smile on his face, felt so blessed at how Takaki mentioned their moment in his apartment later. Because at least, he knew today won’t end soon, and there would be a chance to fix up everything. Because at least, he knew Takaki felt the same way as he was. Despite of their lacking methods of confessing.
“Treat me sushi…” Inoo insisted, quietly.
“I will. We can buy sushi on our way back. Kay?”
Takaki opened his eyes, looked over Inoo and kissed his nose bridge for a brief moment. And at the point, Inoo’s face was lit up in the sense of relieve, audible happiness. Their fingers slowly make a move, interlaced with one another. And they came more sharply. Until Takaki decided they should share a thrilling kiss again, before herd themselves to sushi restaurant as planned.
