Misunderstandings
Hiro woke up slowly and sighed contently. He had slept really well last night and through his closed eyes he could see that it was already bright outside as the light shone through his eyelids. Listening to the noises of his mother, he contemplated how much longer he should stay in bed. It sounded a lot like she was rummaging around in the kitchen and that meant normally delicious breakfast. Today was one of his rare days off since Kisumai didn’t have any activities and he didn’t have any solo work. He really loved his work, but those days were the ones he treasured the most simply because he could sleep long. Slowly, he moved a little to the left…or more like, that was what he wanted to do, but a weight held him in place. He blinked his eyes open and looked at a mop of brown hair. Brown hair…in his brain the puzzle pieces slowly fell into place and he was astonished about two things: Firstly, Fujigaya and he had managed to sleep on the couch together and that without falling down, at least he couldn’t remember anything of that happening and secondly, the other was still asleep! Whenever someone slept over at his place the person was up hours before him and now Fujigaya was calmly breathing against his collar bones without showing any signs of waking up. He wondered if something was wrong with the other since he was always halfway done when the other members arrived during their concert tours for breakfast. Looking at the clock, he noted that it was a few minutes past noon, a reasonable time for him to wake up at a day off.
As he was contemplating whether the other was seriously sick there was a loud noise on the street and Fujigaya stirred.
Taisuke moved a little and let his hand wander over his pillow and tried to push it a little to make himself more comfortable.
“Erks!”
His eyes snapped open immediately.
“What are you poking me for!” Hiro rubbed his chest where the other had poked him and glared at the brown hair.
“Huh?” The other lifted his head and sleepily blinked at a growling Kitayama.
“Well hello there. If you drooled on me I will kick your ass.”
“Kitayama?”
“A little slow, aren’t you?”
“Oh…”
Hiro could basically see how the last night flashbacked in the other’s head.
“You are already up?” Was the next thing, the other asked confused.
“Already? It’s past noon.”
“Nice try!” Taisuke chuckled.
“I’m not joking.”
“I never sleep longer than nine o’clock and that is already late.”
Hiro pointed at the clock that was hanging on the wall.
“You wouldn’t stand up and turn the clock forward just to spite me, would you?” Taisuke asked unsure.
“It would be worth considering…if you hadn’t held me in place like this.” Kitayama looked at him pointedly.
“Uhm well…” The other pulled his hand that was still lying on Kitayama’s chest to his own body and he was already thinking of getting up when he remembered something.
“Oh fuck!” He wriggled around a little and tried to get his hand into his pant pocket to pull his cell phone out.
Hiro wondered if he was aware of the fact that he was rubbing his body against his…he certainly was!
Taisuke checked his phone and there was indeed a message from his mother.
Are you sleeping over at a friend’s place? We’ll be at grandma’s house tomorrow.
Mom
He totally forgot to tell her where he was. All his thoughts had circled around Kitayama and how much he resembled a teddy bear…
“Ne, are we friends?”
“Huh why?”
“Because I am lazy, if we are friends I can just type “yes” if not I have to explain my mom further where I am.”
“Suit yourself.”
“Okay.” Taisuke typed a few words and pressed send. He looked at the time and date of his phone and sighed. Getting up, he entangled himself from Kitayama and pulled his shirt down and tugged a little at his jean.
“I’ll leave now because I don’t want to bother you on your day off. I guess we’ll see each other tomorrow.”
Hiro didn’t know what to think of that especially since the other wasn’t really bothering him and it was rather fun to tease someone in the morning…or well, afternoon.
“Bye bye.”
Before Fujigaya reached the door a woman suddenly appeared beside him.
“You are not thinking about leaving without breakfast, are you?” And before he could even say a word he was dragged into the kitchen.
“Ohm…”
“Yeah, stay for breakfast.” Hiro padded into the kitchen, too and opened the fridge for some juice. “And I believe you don’t want to leave with such messy hair.”
Immediately, Taisuke’s hands shot to his head and he tried to straighten them.
“That’s your entire fault. You played with them yesterday.”
“Oh, it was my pleasure to mess up your perfectly styled hair.”
“I can imagine…Is it better now?”
“No…” Hiro chuckled. Various strands were sticking off the other’s head and while it looked rather cute, Taisuke’s desperate attempts made him laugh, especially, because he only made it worse.
“Stop laughing! Or rather, help me! It’s your fault after all.”
He was not someone who liked to get commanded around, but he could see real embarrassment on the other’s face so he stepped closer and flatted his hair as much as possible.
Hiro’s mother tightened the grip on the bowls she was holding. It looked like she was really soon going to find out about the relationship those two had. They were quite lovey-dovey…and close.
She saw their guest stand a little unsure in the kitchen and she put the bowls on the table and made him sit down and then grabbed her son and made him sit right next to him.
Then she sat opposite of them and looked at them curiously.
“You are acting weird mom…”
“What are you saying? I am not.” She smiled and pushed the food towards them and Hiro took his chopsticks, but not before sending her a suspicious look.
They ate without saying much, only commenting that the food was delicious and Hiro’s mother desperately wondered how she could approach the matter and get some information.
“So, since when are you like that?” She asked without looking at them. It was better to be direct and straight to the point, right?
“Like that? I thought I told you…well, since we shared a hotel room during the concert of Arashi.” Hiro said before he put some rice in his mouth.
Taisuke nodded his head in confirmation and Hiro’s mother had to try really hard not to gasp. They were a couple for such a long time already? She had always thought Hiromitsu was into girls…and well, boobs. Suddenly something else came to her mind. They were a couple since they shared a hotel room…did that mean…in her head started to play some x-rated scenes and she could feel the heat crawl into her cheeks. Desperately, she tried to push the pictures away.
“Is something wrong?” Hiro asked confused.
“No, no, I was just thinking…but weren’t you quite young when it happened?” Right after having said that, she wanted to bit on her tongue. They didn’t even admit that they had sex!
“Isn’t it normal for people in Johnny’s entertainment? My first time was actually quite late, but since I joined so late it couldn’t be helped.” It was common for juniors to dance for their sempais on concerts and even an honour.
“For you it was really late…I was only 15 though…well it’s not that young either.” Taisuke remembered juniors dancing around them that just so reached to their shoulders and sometimes even smaller.
Hiro’s mother almost didn’t manage not to gape. Did they just baldly admit they had their first time with each other? Moreover, what was Johnny’s Entertainment for a company? That it was normal to sleep with other boys? If she had known earlier about this she would have forbidden Hiromitsu to go to the audition…The company had corrupted her poor innocent son!
“Are you really sure?” She wanted to make sure…maybe she misunderstood something?
“Why wouldn’t we be sure about something like that? Of course we are.” Hiro wondered what was going on in his mother’s head. Why would they forget about Arashi’s concert?
“I understand.” It seemed like she didn’t misunderstand anything after all.
“You are acting really weird.”
Well, it wasn’t everyday that a mother got told from her son since when he was sleeping with boys. She figured she had the right to act weird.
Looking at the two boys, no young men, sitting in front of her, she sighed. No matter what, Hiromitsu was her son and they always had been a team. They only had each other after all and she should be happy for him and it was not like Taisuke was anyone suspicious. She actually pitied him a little because of how he was looking a little confused and sent every three minutes questioning looks to Hiromitsu.
Slightly tilting her head, she watched how they silently communicated. It wasn’t the end of the world. No, it wasn’t and she had always promised herself she would support her son no matter what. Now was the time to fulfil that promise.
“Well, I guess it can’t be helped…”
“I am starting to wonder what we are talking about…” Hiro had the slight suspicion that he had missed something important and because of the way Taisuke was desperately asking him with his eyes what was going on he figured it was justified. That the other was completely silent and didn’t know what to say was also proving his point.
“I’m happy you finally told me and I can understand that it must have been difficult.”
“Huh?”
“But I promise I’ll always support you and your decisions. I have to admit I was quite surprised though…”
“Huh!”
“I always thought I would get a daughter…”
“HUH?”
His mother got up and walked around the table and stood in front of Taisuke.
“But a son is okay, too.” And after having said that she wrapped her arms around the younger one and there was a clatter of chopsticks.
Hiro’s own chopsticks were hanging in the air as he tried to comprehend the scene in front of him.
Son? How could Taisuke become her son…? His mouth fell open as he finally understood what was going on. The conversation they just had replayed in his head with the difference that he now knew why his mother had acted the way she did. He felt like face palming.
“Mom, it’s not like that…”
“It’s okay dear, it’s okay. If you are gay it can’t be helped.”
Hiro wondered if he should cry because his mother thought he was gay or laugh because of the expression on Taisuke’s face.
“Mom, listen you have misunderstood something…Fujigaya and I are not like that.”
“You don’t have to call him Fujigaya in front of me and I’m accepting it, don’t worry. It must have been hard for the both of you to hide it and I understand that you don’t want me to know, but really, if you prefer men and you are happy with him, I won’t say anything.” She let go of Taisuke and instead hugged her son.
Hiro saw how the other blinked several times and then shook his head.
“Uhm, Kitayama-san…it’s really not like that.” Taisuke’s voice was a little unsure because he was still taken aback by the turn of events.
“No need to be so shy. You are a part of the family now…Well, I have to go buy groceries. I should give you some time to spend it together on your day off.” She let go of Hiro and rummaged around for her purse.
“Mom…” Hiro tried again, but she waved him off.
“How about a shower then?” Hiro asked the other defeated. He was still wearing the clothes from yesterday and starting to feel uncomfortable and knowing the other he had to feel similar.
“That would be awesome.”
“I really should hurry and leave then…I don’t want to intrude…”
“We are not going to shower together!” But the door had already fallen close behind his mother.
“Uhm…” but before Taisuke could say anymore he got interrupted.
“After the shower, we will talk about it, after the shower. For now I need to get into clean clothes. Do you want me to lend you some clothes?” Hiro massaged his temple as he looked at the other.
“You don’t have to.” He had to admit he would love to though and he was starting to feel really uncomfortable in his clothes.
“Just don’t complain that the pants are too short.” Hiro said “And don’t worry I’ll remind you to give them back.” He added after a short pause as he remembered how forgetful the other could be.
“I really hope I won’t forget…” Taisuke whispered to himself but the other heard him.
“I’ll help you remember. Each day you forget them I’ll steal one of your scrunchies.”
“Hey!”
“The pink ones.” Hiro added evilly
“How mean!” A massive pout developed on Taisuke’s lips and Hiro grinned widely. It seemed like he had found a new hobby and that was teasing the other. He almost forgot about the fact that his mother believed he was gay for a few seconds.
“Come on.” The older one turned around to leave and Taisuke poked out his tongue at the other’s back.
“I saw what you did just now. There is a mirror.” Hiro pointed out and kept walking. Taisuke could feel how he blushed to the roots of his hair. He kind of hated how Kitayama always had the last laugh…even though he actually liked the way they spend time together causally…Okay, well not that causally, considering that Hiro’s mother thought they were gay and a couple.
“I guess something comfy since you are going to spend your whole day off here.” Hiro mumbled to himself as he looked through his clothes.
“I will?”
“Of course, you’ll help me to come up with a way to convince my mom of my, or well, our straightness and I believe that will take some time. She can be pretty stubborn. You should tell your mother where you are.”
“My family isn’t home anyway.” Did he just agree to stay? Or wait, did Hiro even give him a choice?
“Good, here you can have these, not that stylish, but certainly comfy.”
Taisuke caught the clothes that almost hit his face and the fabric felt really soft under his fingertips.
“Thanks.”
“Well then, ladies first.” Hiro made a gesture towards the bathroom with the broadest grin ever and Taisuke felt like throwing the clothes right back at Kitayama and in his face.
He considered this option, but since he wanted to get into the shower as fast as possible, he swallowed his pride and only smiled sweetly.
“The day I call you a gentleman is far.” With that he turned around and left. Hiro chuckled and called after him.
“There are new toothbrushes in the first drawer and towels on the shelf. Just use what you need…and hurry up!”
“Yeah, yeah…”
Taisuke closed the door behind him and opened the first drawer and indeed there were toothbrushes. He took one of them and some toothpaste. While brushing his teeth he looked at his reflection and thought about the morning. Never would he have dreamt for it to turn out like that. He had never really thought about sleeping over at Kitayama’s place anyway.
He figured that his mother must have seen them on the couch and drawn the wrong conclusions. It was rather hilarious if one thought about it, but he could imagine that Kitayama was everything but pleased. Although, it did surprise him a little that he didn’t kick him out immediately, but told him to stay…Not that he was complaining though. Kitayama could be a pain in the ass, but he could be really sweet, too. Like when he had allowed him to cuddle up to him yesterday or how he had let him sleep on his chest. That reminded him of how long he had slept. He only slept that long when he was sick…therefore he must have felt really comfortable curled up to the other. Most likely, he was never going to get a chance like that ever again, especially because of what it had caused. The thought made him strangely sad, even though he knew from the start it was a one-time thing.
Shaking his head, he forced his mind of these thoughts and stripped to get showered. He didn’t want to make the other wait for too long.
After being done, he towelled himself and slipped into the other’s clothes. Hiro had been right. They were incredibly comfortable and the pair of pants fitted so perfectly. While towelling his hair, he looked around for a hair brush or comb, but found nothing.
“Do you have a hair brush or comb?” He asked after leaving the bathroom and entering the other’s bedroom.
Hiro looked up from the manga he had been reading and took in the view in front of him. There was Taisuke in his clothes and the grey shirt fell loosely over the other’s slender form and revealed his collarbones and half of his left shoulder. The black pants was loose too, and ended at the other’s ankles. It was the longest pants he had and he sometimes stepped on the hem, but for Taisuke it was just right. His cheeks were slightly pink from the shower and some water droplets ran down his neck and collarbones from his hair. The dark hair was mussed up sexily and he started to wonder if it looked like that after a wild round of sex. Not that wet of course, but like someone had buried his fingers in it and tugged at it passionately. He felt the sudden urge to play with the hair himself again, even tug at it and forced his mind to stop thinking about it. Those were rather dangerous thoughts and he wondered if it was because of the things his mother had said.
“Just a sec.” Hiro said after he had managed to pull himself together and while searching in his bedside table for a hair brush he searched with his other hand for his cell on the covers and when he found it, took a picture of the other as fast as possible.
Taisuke blinked surprised.
“Hey! Did you just take a photo of me?” Taisuke pounced on the bed and tried to steal the phone from the other.
Hurriedly, Hiro switched it off so that the younger one couldn’t delete the picture anymore. He had stolen a quick glance at it and he could imagine that fan-girls would kill to see it.
“I guess so.” Hiro dodged the other’s attack and dropped his phone on the bedside table.
“How can you take a picture of me when I have such awful hair?”
“Awful?” He had to wonder about the other’s perception.
Taisuke tried to attack him again and he grabbed him by the waist to push him away. He couldn’t help but think that the other was like an angry kitten.
“Delete it!”
“Nope, not going to happen.”
“You!”
He cut their fight short through shoving Taisuke on his back and jumping from the bed and out of the room. It was certainly an advantage that he was stronger. He hurried up though because he knew that Taisuke was someone who made up for a little lack of strength with stubbornness.
Brushing his teeth he noticed that he had forgotten his clothes and after rinsing his mouth he went back. Taisuke was sitting on his bed with his arms and legs crossed while stealing glances at his phone. It already looked like he wanted to reach out for it before he skidded around and faced his back towards his cell. If he could, he would take another picture. The other was just too amusing.
Instead, he only took his clothes without the other noticing and went showering.
Taisuke looked around a little in the other’s room. It was neither tidy nor especially messy. A bed, a desk, a chair, some scattered stuff, some CDs and clothes lying around. He was not someone who would look through other peoples stuff so he was at a loss of what to do. The mattress under him was quite soft so he let himself fall backwards. He could understand now why the other loved to sleep; his bed was incredibly comfy…
When Hiro came back he stopped at the door frame. Was the other sleeping?
“Am I already rubbing off on you after only a few hours?” He muttered to himself. Seeing the other’s hair he noticed that he had forgotten to give him the hair brush, but he decided Taisuke looked good enough and sat down on his bed.
He stared at the younger one and shook his head. Today was seriously a weird day. He poked his cheek and Taisuke’s eyes fluttered open.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t get enough sleep last night?”
“No, no, no that’s not it! It’s just, your bed is very comfy…” To say he had not slept well would be a bad lie. He had slept so well that he had slept way too long if you asked him.
“That’s for certain.” Hiro let himself fall on his back and his head landed on the younger one’s tummy.
“Uhm…”
“Bear with it, I won’t move for now.”
“At least you hair is dry…” Taisuke muttered and just to annoy Hiro a little he tensed his torso to make it more uncomfortable. The other solved the problem quickly through poking Taisuke’s side and immediately it was comfortable again.
“If your mother sees this she will only be more convinced that we are a couple.”
“I did that with Miyata, too and she didn’t believe I was into guys…why is it that you sleepover once and the next day my mother thinks I am gay. Seriously, I guess there was a reason why you were the only one I never invited…because you mean trouble.”
When he got no response he looked up at the other’s face and Taisuke turned his head away, avoiding eye-contact with him.
He furrowed his brows at the strange reaction.
“Did I hurt you just now with my words?” He finally asked when he came to the conclusion that this was the only understandable reason for this reaction.
“No, of course not.” Taisuke looked back at him…okay, maybe it was more like glaring.
“No, I did…geez, who would have thought you are that sensitive.”
“I’m not sensitive!”
He got the feeling he was only making it worse.
“Okay, okay, I’m sorry.”
Taisuke looked at him out of the corner of his eyes.
“I really am.”
Suddenly, a broad smile stretched over the other’s lips.
“I wondered if I could make you apologize…”
“You little!” Hiro growled but he stopped glaring when he heard the other laugh happily and candid. It sounded nice and made his own lips tug slightly upwards as well.
“I got you quite in trouble, didn’t I?” Taisuke asked after he had calmed down a little. He didn’t know why he had suddenly felt like laughing, maybe because for once it had been him who had fooled Kitayama and not the other way around. And of course an apology from the other was really nice. His words had stung just a little…
“Well, I’m certainly not happy that my mother thinks I am into men…”
“And all that only because I have a fetish for you…” Taisuke played with his apple-necklace he had put back on after showering.
Hiro looked up at him again “I thought you have a fetish for teddy bears.”
“It’s the same.”
“Aren’t you getting cheeky? The last time I checked I was still human and not a stuff toy.”
“Are you sure?”
“I preferred it when you were too shy to tease me.” Hiro said dryly and Taisuke giggled again.
“But it’s fun!”
“The next time you tease me I’ll tickle you till you beg for forgiveness.”
The younger one swallowed. He was quite ticklish; maybe he had to be more careful now.
“Do you have a girlfriend?” Taisuke suddenly asked to get back to the problem at hand.
“What are you thinking of me, of course not or I wouldn’t have cuddled with you. I can imagine that a girlfriend would not be amused about such things and even count it as cheating.”
“Well, probably…but if you had one you could introduce her to your mother and tell her it really was just a misunderstanding.”
“Hmm yeah, but only if I had one.”
They fell into a thoughtful silence again.
“You could push the blame on me…”
“Oh come on, I don’t want that. Moreover, I willingly participated.”
“Well, but we could say that I…uhm…hmm…how about that: I had a terrible break up with my girlfriend and sought comfort and you were the only one there. Like, I invited myself over.”
“Sounds good to me…but there are two problems.”
“Which ones?”
“First of all, the expression my mother has of you is that you are very shy and that means you are not someone who invites himself over and secondly…cuddling with someone else right after a painful break up…I mean okay, but for the whole night? I doubt that.”
“Geez, it’s really difficult to find a solution. Normally, I would just say we should go with the truth, but since…”
“My mother doesn’t believe the truth we are screwed.” Hiro finished the other’s sentences.
“Yeah…”
“So…another idea about how we could convince my mom of our straightness…?”
“Your straightness.” Taisuke corrected thoughtlessly.
“My straightness?”
The surprise in Hiro’s voice pulled the other out of his thoughts.
“I mean…uhm…yeah…our straightness…”
“You have got to be kidding me…” Hiro rolled of the other and robbed closer so that he could look him in the face.
“Yes…” Taisuke said but the unsureness in his voice gave him away.
He could feel the heat crawl into his cheeks when Hiro’s mouth fell open in shock.
It took some minutes for the older to get a hold on himself and notice that it was quite mean of him to gape like that.
“What? Don’t look at me like I’m some alien.”
“Eh…well…sorry. I was only wondering just now what is coming next.”
“Next?”
“I mean, first I find out you have a fetish for teddy bears, now you turn out to be gay and next? Maybe you’ll let it slip that you like wearing girls’ clothes or something like that.”
Taisuke sat up abruptly and glared at the other.
“First of all, I’m not gay, but not straight either, okay? I’m bi. And admit it yourself it was fun to wear woman’s clothes for the CM.”
“You are quite impulsive, aren’t you?”
“It’s just that you are annoying…”
“I am annoying? Listen you…wait no, we should stop it. If we keep attacking each other we will only part in anger and I don’t want that. We have to work together after all and I’m your fetish, aren’t I?”
“I have a fetish for teddy bears, not you!”
“Didn’t you say that was the same?” Hiro said it in a gentle voice though because he knew if he teased the other too much he would only fuel the fire again.
Taisuke threw a glance at him and then pulled his legs to his body, wrapped his arms around them and buried half of his face in his arms.
“Shut up.” It was muffled because of his arms and Hiro had to admit that the other was quite easily swayed and had (massive) mood swings. He was acknowledging though that he was probably not the most sensitive person and more often than not acted on impulse.
Hiro crawled over to the other and sat next to him and bumped his shoulder against Taisuke’s. He hoped the message came across because he had already apologised once and he was not very keen on having to say it again. The topic was rather delicate anyway if you asked him…too many chances for a blunder.
“So how do we solve…” Before he could come back to their previous topic he got interrupted by the other.
“Does it bother you?”
Hiro stilled and thought about it. He had an idea what the other meant and decided to be serious for once.
“No, it doesn’t. Thinking about it, it is not such a big surprise either…I mean everyone who has ever seen you on TV knows that you have a cute side and there is your strong and stubborn side, too. I don’t want to offend you but there were times when you acted really girly…and well, sometimes not at all. Of course, that doesn’t say you are necessarily into guys, but well, maybe…Oh whatever, I don’t know what to say, but I don’t mind. It’s who you are and I don’t think I have the right to judge anyone. Moreover, I always had the suspicion that a few people in JE have the hots for men…with all the fan-service going on. So don’t worry about it, you are surely not the only one.” He didn’t know if Miyata would appreciate it if he told Fujigaya he was in love with Tamamori. He had not told him to keep it a secret, but it was probably a given.
“Wow…”
“Hmm?”
“Well, I just never expected to get told something like that from you…no offence, but well…maybe I just don’t know you very well.”
“Oh, believe me; I already thought the same more than once because of all the revelations and things I got to know about you in such a short time span. Well, people would probably pity us if they knew…considering how long we've worked with each other.”
“Yeah, probably…” Taisuke chuckled.
They were silent for a little. Just sitting there next to each other and thinking.
“How did you find out that you are…oh wait, that is probably too personal a question.”
“Are you now seriously getting careful with the things you are saying? How creepy…”
“Hey!”
“Just kidding~ but back to your question: It was when I figured out that a chest doesn’t need to have boobs to be attractive. Toned abs are pretty nice, too.” Taisuke answered easily and grinned at the other.
“Oh is that so? Well, I hope I am under the top ten then or I will be seriously offended.” Hiro relaxed a little; he was seriously relieved that the atmosphere had gotten lighter again.
“What? You want me to have the hots for you? Hmm, do you really have a six-pack…I can’t remember…”
“Why you little…well, you asked for it.”
“For what?”
Taisuke got his answer when the other suddenly lunged at him and swift fingers attacked his side. He squeaked and tried to push the other away, but he could barely coordinate his arms and Hiro easily caught one of his wrists and tickled him with the other hand. Trying to keep in his laughter, he attempted to hide how ticklish he was but Hiro’s broad grin showed him it was in vain. He was squirming like crazy and Hiro had trouble to keep him in place.
“Oh my…” Hiro’s mother had been in deep thoughts when she had opened the door to her son’s room to bring him fresh clothes and therefore had forgotten that she should knock. In addition, she had not taken in account that they were ‘busy’…they had done it in the shower after all before. She had to admit they had good stamina, well that probably came with dancing and roller skating.
Hiro looked up when he heard the voice of his mother and one glance in her face told him what was going on in her head.
“Mom…I’m just tickling him…”
She nodded but he could see that she did not believe him.
Taisuke could understand why. He was sprawled out under the older one, his chest was rapidly moving up and down; his cheeks had to be flushed; Hiro pressed his one wrist on the mattress and to make the picture perfect, he was also sitting on top of him to keep him in place. Yupp, certainly pretty easy to misunderstand.
“We should consider getting you a new lock since you lost the key to the old one. It might be a good idea now that you are in a relationship.”
She waved at them and silently closed the door.
“I can’t believe it! I seriously can’t believe it. I’ve been trying to convince her that I need a new lock for months, but she was against it since she hates it when I lock my door. And now that! Simply like that!”
“Well, now there is at least something positive about the matter…”
Hiro looked down at the other and how he was lying under him.
“I give up.”
“You give up?”
“Yeah, I give up convincing my mom and say goodbye to my straightness.”
Taisuke lifted an eyebrow. He didn’t think that giving up on convincing his mother meant necessarily that he was gay or bi.
“Now that we are already at it…” Hiro said and pulled his shirt over his head.
Taisuke looked incredulously at the other. What the hell was he doing? Okay, stripping on top of him, that was pretty obvious, but why?
“Now look, I really do have a six-pack and a nice one at that.” Hiro pointed at his torso and the other would have face palmed if that didn’t look strange. Plus, he had already started imagining things…
His look was soon drawn to the other though and he was reminded of the fact that Hiro was indeed one of the top ten in his list. There was not a trace of baby fat anymore, well at least not on his chest. The chubby cheeks of the other would hopefully stay the way they were. Taisuke had to stop himself from licking his lips. The brown buds were in a dark brown and a nice contrast to the tanned skin. Hiro’s hair was a little bit messed up because of the way he had pulled his shirt over his head and completed the picture of sexiness.
“I’m getting the feeling that you are hitting on me…” Taisuke said cheekily after he had made sure he was not drooling.
“Oh come on, just admit that I am in the top ten.” The older one made pouty lips and puppy eyes.
Taisuke had to wonder how such a cute and childish face could belong to such a body…
“Hmm, maybe you are on 11th place…” Cross one‘1’ out and that would be the other’s true place, Taisuke thought a little defeated to himself.
The other made an unhappy face.
“Well, then let’s see if you can keep up with your own judgments.”
Hiro moved his hand to the hem of the other’s shirt and moved it under it. Immediately, Taisuke’s hands flew to his torso to stop it. There was a reason after all why there was a photo shoot where he was the only one wearing a t-shirt while the others were shirtless.
“You are getting bold, aren’t you?”
“I don’t know what you have, doesn’t feel all bad to me.”
Taisuke was sure his cheeks had to be glowing in a quite intensive red by now.
“That’s not it!”
“Oh, you think it is unfair? Go ahead.” Hiro took one of his hands that were still trying to keep his still and placed it on his own abs. Taisuke had to gasp for air. Was the other totally nuts? His heart was thumping like crazy in his chest and he feared that Hiro could feel it with his hand.
“That’s not what I meant!” And he was supposed to stay sane after this? He should have said goodbye to his sanity the minute he stepped into the other’s flat.
“I think you are right…a nice chest isn’t bad.” Hiro said as if he hadn’t heard him at all and pushed the shirt he was wearing further up.
“Hey…” He protested weakly…
When Hiro placed his free hand on his hand that was on his torso and moved it along his abs he closed his eyes. It was the other’s entire fault if he got a heart attack. He was so going to blame him.
When he suddenly felt something soft and slightly wet on his lips he could bet his heart stopped for real.
He snapped his eyes opened and he had not imagined it. No, he was getting his first kiss from a man.
Too perplexed to do anything, he just let the other kiss him gently till he pulled back.
Hiro tilted his head to the side and looked closely at the other.
“Yeah, I think that works.”
Taisuke blinked a few times till he remembered he had a voice to speak with.
“What got into you? I thought you said you were straight.”
“Didn’t I say it just now? That I said goodbye to my straightness.”
Taisuke thought he should have taken the other’s words more seriously.
“You can’t just decide something like that and you can’t just kiss me because you know I am bi!”
“I’m not deciding anything but it’s simply happening. I guess I got a little adventurous, curious, interested and whatnot because of all the talking of being gay, bi, straight, you being my lover, sexy abs and so on. Don’t blame me and it actually is pretty nice…and well, I guess I should have gotten permission first, but since it’s already too late for that we can just keep going, can’t we?
“Huh?”
“You like to cuddle with me anyway.” The other said as if he had solved with that everything.
“Yeah, well but…”
“Don’t worry too much about it. We’ll work it out together.”
Taisuke had to think about that for a few minutes.
“Did you just declare yourself as my boyfriend?”
“Yupp~”
“I think I must be dreaming…”
“Oh, I’ll pinch you anytime if you want me to.” Hiro said with smugness and while rolling of the other he pulled him with him and made sure he was lying at least halfway on his chest.
“We’ll never work it out…”
“I thought the same when I was going for the JE audition and look where I am now. You are so lovely pessimistic, seriously. We’ll fight, we’ll tease, we’ll make up, we’ll cuddle, we’ll kiss, we’ll drive my mom crazy, we’ll do the same with Yokoo, maybe even with each other, we’ll work together and I’ll someday tell you I love you, but seriously for that it is way too early. It actually gives me the shivers only thinking about it, but I have the suspicion it won’t be unavoidable. You drive me crazy and I don’t get you, but I don’t care.”
“You are actually a sap, aren’t you?”
“Tell that to anyone and I won’t cuddle you for two weeks straight.”
“You are really serious, aren’t you?”
“For once I am.”
“Cheat on me and you’ll wish you never ever kissed me.”
Hiro’s eyes crinkled at the sides when he heard that. It seemed like the other had agreed after all.
Two hours later Yokoo got a mail and he wished the day never came.
Watta, I think I am dating Hiro…
Taipi
He had feared for that to happened for ages and basically knew that one day they would figure out that they were the perfect match and that their characters were the same yet totally different just in the right way. He had found that out long ago. It was probably a blessing that the youngest in their group was at least not underaged anymore now and that if they were lucky the new couple behaved at least some…He doesn't have high hopes though and feared the corruption of innocent people and juniors.
