Summary: It was all supposed to end with the tour...but what if they can't stop? What if they won't stop? How will it affect their relationship, and their relationships with those closest to them?
October 5th 2012
Ueda was rather annoyed that Taguchi had booked such an early flight. He’d spent the day of his birthday working during the day, and then he’d gone home to his parents’ house for a quiet little family party with them in the evening. He’d been too drunk to drive afterwards and so he’d crashed at his parents’ house for the night. Luckily, Taguchi had seemed to expect him to sleep in, so he called to wake Ueda early the next morning, giving him plenty of time to drive back to his apartment before the taxi arrived.
He entered his apartment to find Taguchi there already, a small suitcase at his feet.
“I’ve already packed everything you’ll need” the younger man grinned excitedly.
“Are you going to tell me where we’re going yet?” Ueda replied still a little annoyed, not to mention hung over.
He could tell Taguchi was bursting to tell him anyway, and he couldn’t help but smile as said man stood up and walked over, he reached into his pocket and pulled something out “Happy Birthday baby” he said quietly before pressing a long kiss onto Ueda’s lips and sliding the paper into Ueda’s hand.
He looked down at the paper, a plane ticket “Hachijo-jima?” Of course he knew of it, but he’d never visited the island before “Well that’s not so bad...” He’d been excited about the vacation naturally, but he’d also been a little apprehensive since it was Taguchi planning the trip “I was half expecting we’d be going to some video game convention or something.”
Taguchi laughed “I did think about it, but then I thought I should at least take into consideration what you might like to do...since it is your birthday. Actually, though...I hope you don’t mind I did already plan most of our itinerary...just there were some things I needed to get sorted out in advance. “
“That sounds exciting”
Taguchi pecked his forehead lightly “Go get yourself sorted out, I’ll take the dogs for a quick walk and feed them, did you leave your key with your mum so she can check on them?”
“I did” Ueda smiled back and he shuffled off to the bathroom to shower and change his clothes. As he went about he noticed a few of his things missing, the things Taguchi must have packed, and he was busy trying to deduce what their activities would be based on the things that were missing when Taguchi returned.
“What are you doing?” Taguchi laughed when he saw the concentration on Ueda’s face.
“Trying to figure out what you have planned for us...” Ueda smiled “I’m really excited.”
“More excited than you were when Maru took you away?”
“Of course...when we went away there were only onsens...but considering you’ve packed not only my swimming trunks and sunglasses, but my hiking boots and backpack...I’d say this is looking like the more adventurous trip...” he smiled at the grin on Taguchi’s face “and I’m kind of hoping there’ll be lots of steamy sex planned for this one...”
Taguchi grinned smugly “That was certainly part of my plan”. He couldn’t tell who had closed the gap between them but Taguchi’s lip were suddenly hot on his and he sighed as he melted into them, then gasped lightly as the younger man’s teeth sank gently into his bottom lip and his tongue swept teasingly over the sensitive skin. Too soon Taguchi withdrew, his breathing slow but deep “The taxi will be here in ten minutes.”
Ueda nodded and reluctantly pulled himself away from the embrace, turning away to try and calm the fluttering in his chest, before he went back to readying himself to leave.
Once they were seated comfortably on the plane, Taguchi passed a small guide book to Ueda “We should be there in about an hour so if you want to have a little look and see what kinds of things we can do...I’ve already got Sunday fully booked up, but there’s the rest of today and tomorrow for us to do stuff, and maybe Monday morning before we fly back.”
Ueda took the booklet and started flicking through it, the scenery looked beautiful. “You’d planned for us to go hiking right?”
“That’s not what we’re doing Sunday, we’ll go for a little scuba lesson on the morning and the evening I have other plans, but that’s a surprise...but I thought maybe Saturday would be best for hiking. I had a look at our options and it looks like there’s lots of different, less populated routes around Mt. Mihara and there are some nice waterfalls and things around that area...so unless there’s anything else you’d rather do...”
“No, that sounds good...I’d like that...so we’ll do that tomorrow?”
“I thought that would be best, so we can get well rested and ready for it you know...I thought maybe today we’d take it a bit easier...”
“Good idea” Ueda nodded “Did you have anything in mind?”
“Not really...there’s still lots to do, there’s a lot of history on the island....like museums and old world war 2 trails and tours, also there’s lots of different food and alcohol we could sample, and then onsens and black beaches and things...but it’s your birthday, you should get to decide some stuff...”
Ueda laughed “It’s good that you’ve looked into this so much though, makes it easier for me...” he stopped to think for a little while “Well I’m hungry so how about we have something to eat when we get there, then get settled in, then we could have a look around, maybe visit the museum or something, and then we can have a nice quiet night with some more yummy food and alcohol?”
Taguchi nodded and grinned “That sounds perfect. I’m really glad you’re happy with the plans, I was a little worried you might just want to have a relaxing weekend sitting doing nothing...” he laughed nervously “I didn’t want to look like I was trying too hard.”
Ueda laughed back “No...it’s really nice of you...thank you.” There was silence for a little while as Ueda looked through the guidebook, then he cleared his throat a little uneasily “Junno...” when the younger man turned to him he continued “Looking at these things...flights, hotels, and scuba lessons and stuff...isn’t it a little too expensive, just, when I went with Maru we split the cost but you haven’t said...” he looked away a little embarrassed.
“Baka, you don’t need to pay anything, it’s my treat...”
“Junno, my birthday isn’t that special...”
“Well, maybe it’s not just about your birthday...maybe I just wanted to take you away for a while because it would be fun, and I would get you all to myself for a little while. Besides, I’ll enjoy it too, just as much as you will, so...”
Ueda laughed a little “Well yeah, and that’s sweet I appreciate it but...aren’t you usually pretty tight with money...and this...it’s a lot of money....”
Taguchi laughed a little too loudly “Hey! Don’t be mean, I’m not tight...I just don’t want to use money flippantly but this isn’t...and yeah it’s expensive but...I just did that drama, I can afford it right now...” Ueda wasn’t too convinced and he knew Taguchi could tell “Look, I wanted to do it ok...and I had the money...if I go broke in a few years, you can start paying me back then ok?”
Ueda couldn’t help but laugh, it was true, they were idols after all and with the drama too. And it’s not like he’d asked Taguchi to take him away and pay for it all. He nodded, relaxing a little “Thank you Junno.” Taguchi smiled back and nodded.
