Bolds are the lyrics of the song: Stuck by Stacie O' Rrico.
Stuck
I can’t get out of bed today
Or get you off my mind
I just can’t seem to find a way
To leave the love behind
BEEP! BEEP!
“Uggghhhh…” Kame groaned as he searched for the stupid alarm clock with his hand. Once the beeping stopped he groggily sat up to look at the clock. 6:15 a.m. Damn school.
Then his mind shot off to just a few days ago. More specifically, that night at the school’s State Soccer Game.
I ain't trippin’
I'm just missin’ you
You know what I'm sayin'
You know what I mean
~*~*~
“There’s no way I’m going, Tat-chan,” Kame said for nearly the tenth time that day.
“Come on, Kame! I want to see Ryo in his game! I promised!” Ueda pulled on his arm.
“Then why can’t you go alone?” Kame reasoned.
“I always go with you when you want to go shopping and that’s A LOT of shopping!”
“That’s different! EVERYONE loves shopping. Who likes soccer?”
“Just come on, it starts in twenty minutes!” Ueda continued to cry.
“No!” Kame shouted with finality. Ueda sighed and let go of his arm.
“Fine.” He walked towards the door with a pout. He put his hands in his pockets and shifted from foot to foot, not even looking at Kame. “I guess I’ll just have to tell Ryo you’re not coming. And Jin was just dying to see you but, you don’t want to go.” He turned to Kame with a smile and waved. “See you around!” He opened the door of Kame’s house and mentally counted to three. 1…2…3-
“Wait!”Kame yelled and rose his hand up in the air. Ueda smirked knowingly to himself in amusement. “I guess I can go since I have nothing else to do tonight…”
“That’s the spirit!” Ueda said gleefully as Kame grabbed his coat. Right after, Ueda tugged at Kame’s arm and dragged him out of his house. “Now let’s hurry!”
You kept me hangin' on a string
Why you make me cry
I tried to give you everythin'
But you just give lies
…………
“Whoo!” The crowd screamed as Johnny’s High School scored another goal.
“Ryo-chan’s so good at this, ne? Him and Jin are annihilating them!” Ueda praised with a smile.
“Yeah, sure, whatever…” Kame was starting to get bored with the whole soccer thing. At first Jin would give him a few smiles here and there but now he didn’t so much as spare him a glance. He had to admit his soccer skills were great but Jin barely knew he was here.
I ain't trippin’
I'm just missin’ you
You know what I'm sayin'
You know what I mean
“Ne, Ueda. I’m getting cold. I’m just gonna head back.”
“Aww~ Already?” Kame just nodded as he stood up from his seat. Ueda sighed. “Alright. You want me to come with you?”
“Nah. It’s okay. Keep cheering Ryo on. He’d hunt me down if I made you miss his game,” Kame chuckled.
Ueda laughed. “Alright. Get home safely.”
“Okay.” Kame was walking through the bleachers and was about to head down towards the exit when he heard someone call him.
Every now and then
When I'm all-alone
I've been wishin'
You would call me on the telephone
Say you want me back
But you never do
I feel like such a fool
There's nothing I can do
I'm such a fool for you
“Oi, Turtle!” He swiftly turned around to see Jin facing his direction.
“Jin there’s 20 seconds left! There’s no time to talk to friends!” the coach shouted. Jin ignored him.
“This one’s for you!” Jin called out smiling and then turned to run after the scurrying soccer ball. Kame’s eyes widened when he dashed through the field, swiftly dodging each and every opponent as he ran towards the end line. Once there, he kicked the ball high in the air, waited for the right moment, and back flipped into a strong kick that made the ball fly though the goalie and into the net. 1 second later, the whistle sounded and all the team members ran towards their captain.
Jin smiled as the crowd went absolutely crazy. “AKANISHI!” The crowd screamed at the top of their lungs.
“Nice one, Jin!” Pi called out.
“Show off!!” Ryo shouted.
Jin just chuckled and then turned towards Kame. Kame’s eyes were wide open and he was staring unbelievingly at Jin. Jin saw this and winked, causing Kame’s face to tint to a slight pink.
“Did…did he…?” Kame started muttering to himself. And that whole time, he wondered why his heart wouldn’t stop pounding.
I can't take it
What am I waitin' for
My heart's still breakin’
I miss you even more
And I can't fake it
The way I could before
I hate you but I love you
I can’t stop thinkin’ of you
It's true; I'm stuck on you
~*~*~
“Why did I let Tat-chan drag me to that game?”
…………..
Kame boarded the bus and looked around for Ueda. Once he did, he plopped down on the seat next to the window, exhausted, and put his book bag down on the ground.
“Someone was up late last night,” Ueda teased.
“Shut up, Tat-chan,” Kame gritted with his eyes closed. “I couldn’t sleep.”
Ueda leaned his chin on Kame’s shoulder. “Why not?”
“I kept thinking about…him…” Kame sighed and leaned his head against the window. “I can’t get him out of my head.”
~*~*~
“Hey!” Kame was walking home when someone caught up to him.
“Hey…Jin,” Kame started hesitantly. He could feel his heartbeat speeding up.
“Thanks for coming to my game the other night,” Jin grinned.
“Uh…no problem.”Kame’s face turned a light pink. ‘What the hell, Kame?! Pull yourself together!’
“Walking home?” Kame nodded in response. “I could drive you if you want.”
“No, that’s fine,” Kame turned and started to walk again.
“Come on,” Jin grabbed his arm gently. “You live near the grocery store, right? It’s on the way to get to my house, anyway.”
“O..okay...” ‘Kame! Get a grip!’
Now love's a broken record
That's been skippin' in my head
I keep singin’ yesterday
Why we gosta play these games we play?
They both entered Jin’s car and he started driving out of the school parking lot.
“So…are you going to prom tomorrow?” Jin asked, eyes still on the road.
Kame almost choked on air. “Ugh, maybe. You?”
“I’m not really into those things,” Jin replied.
“Oh,” Kame slumped down in his seat slightly. Jin saw this and smiled a bit.
“Unless, I could find someone to go with.” Kame sat back up. Honestly, Jin could get any girl he wanted and both of them already knew that. “Who are you taking?”
“I don’t have anyone to go with,” Kame stated.
“Ah. So we’re both dateless.” Kame nodded and they drove in silence for a while. “Ne, how about this. We don’t need dates. I’ll go if you go.”
“I don’t know…”
“Aw, come on. I’ll even save a dance for you. I promise,” Jin grinned. Kame blushed a bit and noticed that they were nearing his house. “Pull up right here.”
Once the car stopped and Kame got out. “Can I see your phone?”
“Huh?”
“Just let me see it.” Kame hesitantly gave Jin his phone. When he did, Jin pulled his own phone out and dialed some numbers and then handed Kame’s phone back to him. “I saved your number if you don’t mind. I also put mine in yours. I’ll call you later, ne. Will I see you at the prom?”
Kame sighed and then smiled a bit. “I’ll think about it.”
~*~*~
“Maybe you love him,” Ueda stated.
“No. That can’t be it. I’m not in love with him!” Kame snapped quickly.
“Says the one getting all defensive about it.” Kame stared at him wide-eyed and sighed.
“Even if I did, Ueda. He doesn’t love me back.”
“You don’t know that. Why don’t you tell him?”
“Are you insane? I can’t tell him that! He’s only trying to play with me.” Kame looked out the window and gasped when he saw another Johnny’s school bus right next to them.
His chest started to tighten uncontrollably when he saw Jin staring right at him with a playful smirk. He started to make kissy faces at him and winked. Kame’s blood boiled in anger and he turned back around to Ueda. “See!”
I ain’t trippin’
I'm just missin’ you
You know what I'm sayin'
You know what I mean
~*~*~
Kame lay on his bed, staring intently on his phone. ‘He still hasn’t called…’ He turned to look at his clock. 7:30. ‘The prom started half and hour ago’.
He took one last look at his phone before grunting in frustration. He jumped up and put his blazer over his simple tuxedo. “He better not have stood me up.” He took a quick look in the mirror and then sighed as he threaded his fingers through his hair. “Why am I getting so upset over this?”
Every now and then
When I'm all-alone
I've been wishin'
You would call me on the telephone
Say you want me back
But you never do
I feel like such a fool
He stood there for a few more minutes before deciding to just leave and yell at Jin when he saw him at the school. After finally reaching the school entrance he headed to the gym where many lights and thumping music was being played.
“Lolli lolli lollipop dalgomhage dagawa
Lolli lolli lollipop naege soksakyeojwo
Lolli lolli lollipop sanggeumhage dagawa
Lolli lolli lollipop jigeum wonhajanha”
Right before he reached the doors he could hear the DJ talking.
“Ladies and gentlemen, grab a partner because we’re slowing things down a bit.” Then the gym was filled with soft, melodic music. Kame opened the doors quietly and looked for Jin. After countless minutes of searching he finally found him…with a girl.
Her hands were lying over his shoulders while his were wrapped around her waist. She rested her head on his shoulder as they swayed slowly to the soft music. He whispered something in her ear and she looked up to smile at him before giving him a kiss on the cheek and whispering something back.
Kame could’ve killed someone right then and there; someone being a certain big-headed, jerk Akanishi Jin. Suddenly, the song ended and Kame couldn’t take it anymore so he ran out of the school as fast as he could.
~*~*~
Kame followed Ueda off the bus and started walking towards the school entrance.
“Hey!” Kame turned back to see Jin running after him. He briskly turned back around and walked past everyone with a strong scowl on his face. “Oi! Matte!” But Kame continued to nearly run into the school and when Jin got inside, he lost his turtle in the crowd of high scholars.
There's nothing I can do
I'm such a fool for you
……….
Damnit! Now I’m late for English class! Kame thought as he angrily tore his locker open. He’s been avoiding Jin all day and he had to take the longer alternate route to his locker to avoid talking to him, making him late to class.
Just as he closed his locker, he jumped out of his skin in surprise at the sight of Jin leaning coolly on the other lockers right in front of him. “Why have you been avoiding me?” Jin asked with a pout.
“Why are you stalking me and trying to give me a freakin’ heart attack?!” Kame clutched his chest tightly.
I can't take it
What am I waitin' for
“I didn’t see you at the prom last night,” Jin explained.
“So?” Kame turned away with a look of annoyance.
“Why didn’t you come?” he asked with another pout.
I did… “Why does it matter to you? You had your girlfriend there to occupy your time…” Kame’s eyes widened at his slip up.
My heart's still breakin'
I miss you even more
Jin looked confused for a minute. “My girlfriend? What are you…?” Jin’s face lit up with a gleeful laugh. “So you WERE there?!”
And I can't fake it
The way I could before
Kame blushed an embarrassed shade as red as the blood boiling at anger of his own stupidity. “Shut up! So what if I was there?!”
Jin just held himself up on his knees as he laughed whole-heartedly. Kame’s eye twitched in anger. “What’s so funny, you punk!”
I hate you but I love you
I can’t stop thinkin' of you
“Oh my god! You thought she was my girlfriend?!” Jin laughed out hilariously. Kame’s angry face fell to a completely lost one.
“Eh?...”
Once Jin got over his laughing fit he wiped the tear out of his eye and smiled to Kame. “That was my friend, Jennifer. She was traveling over from the U.S. I haven’t seen her in so long so I danced with her a bit and talked to her…mostly about you.”
Kame’s jaw dropped as he tried to come up with something smart to explain himself with. “…eh??...”
~*~*~
As the slow music started Jennifer put her hands on Jin’s shoulders as he put his around her waist. “I missed you, Jin,” she said as she rested her head on his shoulder.
“Me too. I hear you got a new boyfriend back in the states,” Jin replied.
“Yeah. He’s really great. You’d like him,” she said back.
“Actually…that’s what I wanted to talk to you about…” Jin started a bit embarrassed.
“Hm?”
“I…I think I found someone…” Jennifer just glanced up at him.
“You mean another one to play with?” she chuckled.
“No, really! I think I might…love him…” He looked down for a second. Jennifer looked him straight in the eyes with a surprised smile glowing on her face.
“Jin, that’s great! Who is he?”
“This guy, Kamenashi Kazuya. I don’t know why but I can’t stop thinking about him but I’ve never dealt with someone playing hard-to-get. It’s like I’m stuck to him.”
“Don’t worry. With feelings like that, he’ll come around eventually. I’m just so happy for you.” She rose up to give him a quick peck on the cheek.
“Thanks. I’m actually waiting for him right now.” Just then the song ended. “He should be around here by now.” He looked up and when he did, he could’ve sworn he saw someone running out the entrance. He shrugged it off and looked back at her.
“Wanna help me look for him?”
“Sure.”
~*~*~
“You mean…you…her..aren’t…what?” Kame couldn’t believe what he just heard. “So she’s not your girlfriend?”
“Nope,” Jin smirked. “Why? Were you jealous?”
Kame blushed furiously. “N-n-no! Why would I b-?!” But he was cut off by Jin’s lips cascading softly over his. He moved them sensually over Kame’s as he gently held him in place by his shoulder. Kame slowly began to close his eyes as he let all of his pent up feelings wash over him. He tastes so sweet. Can a kiss really feel this amazing?
Kame held onto Jin’s strong arms as they stayed like that for a while. When they broke apart Jin smirked at the sight of a slightly dazed and panting Kame. Jin took a few steps back before Kame caught his breath again and just gazed at him.
“I still want that dance, Kamenashi,” Jin reminded playfully.
Kame let a small smile fill his expression. “You have my number. Call me and maybe I’ll think about it.”
Jin bit his lip and pointed a finger at him. “I’ll hold you to that.” And then he put his hands in his pockets and walked away.
Kame watched him until he was out of sight before falling back against the lockers with a happy sigh.
I hate you but I love you
I can’t stop thinkin' of you
Don't - know - what - to - do
He can annoy me so much but I still love him, anyways. It’s like… “It’s like I’m stuck on you, Jin.”
I'm stuck on you
A/N: decent? I don't know. What do you think?? ^^
