March 29th 2012
He cracked his eyes open slowly, his body being shaken furiously. Slowly lucidity returned and as soon as he saw the angry look on Kame’s face before him, he knew what it was he’d done. He bolted from the bed, dragging the sheets with him to cover himself, and straight into the bathroom where he locked the door. He listened long enough to hear Taguchi’s sleepy “Morning” before he switched on the shower, not wanting to hear Kame’s colorful response.
He scrubbed his skin under the too-hot water until it hurt. He could remember what had happened, how he’d been so desperate, how he manipulated the other mans feelings to get what he wanted...worse even, he remembered how much he’d wanted it. A wave of nausea came over him. He told himself it was just the alcohol, that he didn’t mean to use Taguchi in any way, he was simply drunk, drunk and horny. He finished his shower, and wrapped himself in a clean towel, not even wanting to touch the soiled bed sheets that lay crumpled on the floor, but then he just sat on the edge of the bathtub, not wanting to face either of the men who could still be waiting for him outside.
Meanwhile Taguchi had been surprised by the smack around the head he received when greeting Kame, until of course the memories of the previous night registered and looked down to find himself naked. He grabbed the pillow from under his head to cover himself, before turning his eyes to Kame’s awaiting his reaction.
“What the fuck, Taguchi?” Kame eventually spat. “Just...what? how did this happen, what were you thinking?”
“I don’t know” Taguchi answered lamely
Kame just stared incredulously at him. “Makino has gone to breakfast already, you’d better get cleaned up in my bathroom. Taguchi nodded, but then pain shot through him when he tried to get up, he cried out and fell back down onto the bed, Kame offered no sympathy, just a stony glare, and so he tried again, this time anticipating the pain. He made it off the bed and that’s when he heard Kame’s shocked gasp, he followed his eyes to see small stains of blood drying into the sheets, he didn’t have to check to know where the blood came from, the previous night had been too painful for him to come out of this unscathed. He didn’t regret it though, after the pain had eased it had been one of the most intense feelings he had ever experienced, and what’s more he had made Ueda happy.
“I guess you must have cut yourself yesterday...opened the wound in your sleep again” Kame looked at him knowingly, and Taguchi just nodded before grabbing some clean clothes and pulling on his stained sweatpants.
In Kame’s room he showered slowly, his body ached but he still felt a pleasing calm for what had happened. He wondered briefly how Ueda was feeling right now, but shook the thoughts from his mind, disturbed slightly by Ueda’s hasty exit that morning.
He was already at breakfast with the other members, and a few juniors, when Ueda finally showed his face. He looked everywhere but directly at Taguchi.
“Morning Uepi” Taguchi beamed, though his heart was hammering in his chest. Ueda just nodded before taking a seat as far from him as possible. Taguchi’s smile faded and he continued his breakfast in silence.
“Ueda, switch rooms with me tonight” Kame spoke out lightly, Ueda glanced at him in surprise but then just nodded his head.
“Why, what’s wrong with Makino?” Koki chipped in.
“He snores” Kame answered quickly, he looked pointedly at Ueda who only nodded again, picking at his toast without eating it.
“Hadn’t we better get to the Sport’s Center” Maru said after a lengthy silence “They said we could practice from 11, right? What time is the bus coming for us?”
“It should be here in 15 minutes” Kame replied glancing at his watch “Everyone go get sorted, be back here in 10 minutes” Everyone rose at Kame’s orders and scattered to their rooms, no one wanting to cause a holdup and face Kame’s wrath.
“So are you just not talking to me anymore?” Taguchi snapped when he and Ueda were alone again in their room.
Ueda glanced guiltily at the bed, but noticed the sheets were clean and crisp, the cleaners must have been in, he wondered briefly what they must have thought when they found the bloodied sheets, but he remembered Taguchi was waiting for his answer. He looked away again before replying.
“Are you ok?” He paused, but didn’t let Taguchi speak before continuing. “I mean the...” he pointed the bed, finding it hard to speak about what had occurred between them “there was blood...I hurt you”
Taguchi let out a sigh of relief “Uepi, I’m fine, I promise it wasn’t as bad as it looked” he smiled at Ueda who returned it, but it was something strained. “I had a really good time last night”
“I’m sorry Taguchi, it should never have happened...I should never...” but he was cut short as Kame entered the room.
“I brought my bag over now, save me bringing it by later.” He smiled at the two of them but there was something hidden behind it.
“Why did you want to switch rooms anyway?” Taguchi asked nonchalantly.
“Isn’t that obvious?” He replied, voice more urgent now “to put a stop to this” he motioned vaguely between the two of them “whatever it is”
“It’s nothing” Ueda interjected “It was a mistake...it won’t happen again” he turned then and left the room, Taguchi looking slightly hurt behind him.
“No it won’t” Kame said pointedly to Taguchi before following Ueda out.
