Series ~ Tsunagu 6 Ren and Raul
Things and triangles... escalate?!
Ren and Raul
*THUMP*
Meguro blinks and raises an eyebrow.
"Raul?!"
"It's a kabedon."
"I know."
"Oh, really?"
"Raul."
"Okay, just kidding."
"I know what a kabedon is."
"I suspected you knew."
"So?"
"Is a reason needed?"
"I guess... it is?"
"Uhm. I just wanted to try."
"Oh... I see."
"Yup."
"Rehearsals, then? Is there a girl you want to do that with?"
"Eh?"
Meguro blinks.
"There isn't?"
"Nope. I just wanted to see your reaction."
"Oh, I'm sorr- Eh? Why?"
"Well.. this is not the first time someone kabedons you like this, right?"
"Uh?"
Meguro frowns.
"Someone quite as young as me. Younger than you."
Meguro frowns deeper, and Raul sighs.
"C'mon, Meme..."
"I cannot get what-"
"I'm talking about your drama."
"My drama. Right now, you mean..."
"And I'm talking about a boy."
"Oh."
Raul rolls his eyes, before sighing openly again.
"Just how many BL romantic roles did Meguro Ren land, so far?"
"Eh?"
"Exactly. That one."
"You mean, Michieda-kun?"
"Precisely."
"But that happened during filming!"
"Then what?"
"What I mean is that it was not even real."
"I wouldn't be that sure."
"And please remember he was still underage last year."
"So am I, right now."
"You're not anymore."
"Well, I was until not that long ago. You can still treat me as if I were, anyway."
"Raul."
"It's you who said-"
"I mean, Michieda-kun was a junior. He had not debuted yet."
"Do people require a debut in order to freely kabedon someone?"
"That's not what I meant to say, but-"
"Anyway. He did."
"We didn't even know each other well, back then."
"Do you mean that you do, now?"
"Well... not. Not to the extent of saying I know him well, because I clearly do not."
"How did you feel back then?"
"Eh?"
"Wouldn't you tell me?"
"Why would you like to know in the first place, Raul?"
"Can you tell me? Please tell me..."
"I, well... I was working. I didn't have the time to-"
"But you told Koji-kun that his eyes were sparkling!"
"Eh? How do you know?"
"Koji-kun isn't exactly famous for being able to keep things for himself, and you should know by now."
"Anyway-"
"So, is it true?"
"What?"
"That Michieda's eyes were sparkling."
"His eyes are always sparkling, Raul."
"So you noticed."
"I noticed what?"
Raul sighs aloud.
"Now I get it what Koji-kun means, though. It is so damn true that you're really exasperating when it comes to these kinds of things."
"This kind of what, exactly?"
"Can I kiss you, Meme?"
"EH?"
"C'mon, can I try kissing you?"
"Why on Earth?"
"It's not a big deal after all. we already tried, right?"
"I can't remember-"
"In the hotel room, that one time."
"Eh? But it wasn't... wait, wait. You asked to know more about it, technically speaking, so I've tried explaining to you. You were in your bed and I was in mine, you had your pillow and I had mine. That's how it went."
"Well then, can I kiss you now?"
"Raul... I don't like kissing people just for the sake of doing it randomly. You know I don't."
"But you promised you would always help me out."
"Sure I will."
"Then why not now?"
"Well..."
"It's just a peck, right?"
"Well... O-okay then."
Meguro closes his eyes, and Raul leans forward, pressing his lips softly.
*Chu*
"So, how was it?"
Meguro blinks.
"Wasn't it you who wanted to know how to- Eh? EH?!"
Meguro's eyes widen enormously, looking at something behind Raul.
"Meme, what's-"
"Michieda-kun? MICHIEDA-KUN?! Was it- Wait, I'm-"
Raul turns, only to see nothing and nobody before the threshold of the open room.
"There's no one."
"I think I had a glimpse of... I'm pretty sure I got to see..."
Raul raises an eyebrow.
"Okay, I get it."
"Eh?"
"Nevermind."
"May I... Is it okay if I go now, Raul?"
"Eh?"
Meguro bites his lower lip.
"I'd love to make sure... Maybe I was wrong, but I'd love to... Whether it was him, I don't want him to misunderstand..."
"Sure..."
"Thank you. Sorry. And please tell Koji I'm coming back straight away, okay?"
"Eh?"
"Thank you, Raul."
Meguro rushes out of the room, peeking frantically towards both directions of the corridor before choosing to turn left and run away.
"... Koji? What does he mean with Koji?"
Raul furrows openly, before shrugging and sighing.
