Of Stage Urges, Time Relativity, and A Popular Stuffed Toy
Bear-hug!
Tsuyoshi's heart thudded protestingly in its upheaved place for the long second before his outer senses told it that the attacker was just his mostly harmless partner.
"What are you doing?" He channeled the protest out loud, pushing the living baggage along as he dragged his feet into the room. The stylists laughed, albeit sounding slightly unsure; while the staff in the corridor were surely not holding back judging by the volume of it.
Kouichi let go, revealing a grinning face. "Haven't you seen
Takki and Tsubasa's concert report?"
Tsuyoshi had, of course. "It's their first concert together in a long long while. That is understandable."
"We haven't hugged for a long long while, either," Kouichi argued, while regretting in his mind that he hadn't thought of copping a feel of that precious butt while he'd been at that.
"Excuse me?" Tsuyoshi asked pointedly.
"Hm...?"
"Every year," Tsuyoshi said, a sigh in his voice, "every year, every birthday. I've been doing so much for you, and you never remember any of it."
The stylists-cum-impromptu-audience obligingly made a silent "awww" with their eyes.
"Of course I remember," Kouichi hastened to say, "but I mean-- I mean, it's different. I mean... like, um, the anniversary hug."
Tsuyoshi shook his head sadly and sighed louder.
"Hey, come to think of it, it wasn't quite like that at our anniversary either."
Tsuyoshi dropped the disappointment act, realizing that it wasn't going to work against this incredible level of unassuming ignorance. "What are you competing with our juniors for? Idiot."
Kouichi pondered. "Well, our own concert is yet to be held this year."
Tsuyoshi glanced. "Getting ideas, are we?"
Kouichi tried not to take it the perverted way and not to smile the perverted way. Of course, he didn't have much success.
"But don't you think that feels good? With all the high tension when we're on stage..." He scrambled for a more innocent-sounding justification, which surely didn't seem as non-sequitur in his brain as it did once voiced out. "...Tsuyoshi feels like a teddy bear."
Tsuyoshi became a little self-conscious from his stylist's grins. "Put that way, wouldn't it mean you're the only one benefiting from it? Expecting me to agree..."
"Beaaar!" Kouichi went loud all of a sudden. His stylist almost jumped back.
Tsuyoshi burst into laughter. "That one again?!" [*]
"It's popular!" Kouichi managed, in between his own cackles.
"Seriously, Tegomasu's fans must've been silently thinking, 'What lame senpai-s...'"
"Did we tell this story in our own concert?"
"We probably did."
"Maybe it will come up again this year. Or this whole conversation."
"Could you give more consideration to the feelings of our fans? Really."
"But see, if the science talk is only allowed up to 30 minutes..."
"I'm begging you already."
Kouichi pouted.
"...Besides, didn't I say 15 minutes?"
Kouichi's pout turned sheepish. He had hoped it would go unnoticed.
Tsuyoshi folded his arms. "10 minutes penalty."
"Ehh!"
To the relief of their stylists, the hyped-up-at-random combi subdued after a few ignored pleas and a generous 5-minute extension-with-conditions, and remained quiet enough for them to finish their work.
The topic was already pushed to the back of Kouichi's mind when he headed to the door-- when Tsuyoshi made use of the short pause while Kouichi was adjusting his shoes to tackle him out of the blue.
Kouichi recovered from the negligible loss of balance faster than from his surprise, which, to his later regret, made him once again forget to perv on his partner's butt while returning the bear-hug.
"Wasn't I right?" He grinned, his joy just marginally overpowering his default embarrassment. "A group could never have too much of this."
Tsuyoshi gave him a firm-but-measured slap on the back before he let go.
"Nothing to do with that," he replied with only a hint of defiance. "When have we ever needed a reason?"

[*] The bear joke is from Doumoto Kyoudai when Tegomasu guested (2009.08.02), and KinKi mentioned in Donnamonya afterwards that Tegomasu told the story in their con, as translated by
peachie-cyo here (with thanks!). I don't remember if it is also mentioned in any of KinKi's concerts (Tsuyoshi's reply in the fic was intended to be casual), let me know if you know? =D
