Three's (Good) Company
Kouichi's eyes were disturbingly fixed on him, the expression seemingly undecided whether to be amused or moved or wanting to hide.
"It's not my idea," Tsuyoshi said, summoning his TV face to return the look somewhat unwaveringly.
"If anyone's doing any manipulating here," Kouichi said slowly, "I doubt it's Nagase."
"He lured me with the aquarium," Tsuyoshi grunted, picking on the sheets. He was sitting on the bed because Kouichi was leaning on the wall, the two-meter distance between them entirely too short within the dimly-lit double room.
Kouichi's lingering gaze on the hand movement was quickly averted when his thoughts followed up with other possible activities involving that piece of furniture. "At least this one has no mirror on the ceiling," he muttered.
Tsuyoshi snickered, the first not-awkward reaction since he'd set reluctant foot in this place.
Nagase emerged from the shower, the white hotel towel on his hips, water dripping from his hair. "I'm done," he announced cheerfully. "Who's next?"
Kouichi winced. "Showering in this place feels sort of..."
Tsuyoshi stood up, deadpan. "We can drive back now."
"Aww, don't be a spoilsport." Nagase slung an easy arm on his shoulders. "We're just going to reminisce for old time's sake."
"What sort of talk are we going to have in this sort of room?" Tsuyoshi gestured at the overwhelming pinkness. They had pulled through the last one with the help of many anecdotes from the fishing trip, but this time--
"How's the aquarium?" Kouichi asked dryly.
Nagase reached for the magazine lying on top of the nightstand. "What do you say to some gravure appreciation?"

"But seriously," Nagase leaned forward. "In the past five years, have you gotten as far as kissing with anyone? Other than with Kou-chan, I mean."
Tsuyoshi chuckled. "Why are you suddenly so interested in my love life?"
"I'm just a little concerned."
"No worries about that. I get enough satisfaction from Kouichi."
Nagase's elbow slipped off the table edge.
"Just kidding," Tsuyoshi said calmly.
Nagase snorted. "I'll need to work on him, too. That guy's lack of interest is even worse than yours."
Tsuyoshi laughed. "It has actually been improving since he realized he was turning thirty."
He averted the fond thoughtful look to the glass in his hand, which made him miss a twinkle in Nagase's eyes.

"Shouldn't you suspect something already when he asked to meet up in a hotel room of all places?"
Kouichi returned the chiding look defensively. "I thought we would be setting off from there."
"The 'love hotel' signboard is kinda obvious," Tsuyoshi pointed out.
Kouichi tilted his head. "I don't really need to know what he does with his dates before seeing me."
"It was Shindoi filming yesterday. His date was with me."
"Ah. But he didn't mention you'd be there too."
Tsuyoshi peered suspiciously at the rare casual countenance. "You seem to be enjoying this."
"I'm just neutral." Kouichi rubbed his upper lips inconspicuously. They hadn't been getting much work in which he had a chance to see Tsuyoshi getting all flustered by a senpai or equivalent.
Tsuyoshi let that go, considering they had to stand by soon. "But speaking of Nagase, we should steer his enthusiasm back to safer directions."
"He is not that persuasive," Kouichi said, following his partner's stride out of the dressing room.
Tsuyoshi recalled the distractions that had made him unsuspectingly follow Nagase to the love hotel. "But he can be charming."
Kouichi turned a rather surprised look at him.
Tsuyoshi smirked at the reaction. "Don't worry, I'm not stealing him from you."
"I wasn't asking that," Kouichi stuttered indignantly.
"I still love you, too."
Kouichi took a helpless breath. "Would you save that for the camera?"
Tsuyoshi pinched his chin. "But I don't think we're allowed to talk about threesomes in public."
