Pairing: Nishikido Ryo/Yamashita Tomohisa friendship! With a hint of Pin.
Summary: Takes place after the boys (particularly Yamapi) find out that Jin's leaving for America. So who comes to the rescue, other than Ryo? Did I mention this all takes place in Yama's bathtub? (Yeah, and no porn either. LOL.)
A/N: Hnnn... This was written for ryo_pi's theme 'Water'. ^_^ Do enjoy!
Yamashita Tomohisa was content - beyond content really. He leaned his head back against porcelian surface of his bathtub and felt his body relaxing as he sank into the tub. He felt like it'd been such a long time since the last time he'd been able to just soak inside the tub without falling asleep or thinking of things related to work and such, or thinking of friends and their issues. Yamapi dunked his head into the water, shutting his eyes tightly and holding his breath, hoping that concentrating on something else would get rid of the lingering dread he had. He tucked in his legs and tightly clutched them to his body, keeping his head underwater still. He didn't know how much time passed, but he suspected it couldn't have been long, before he felt someone yank his head out of the water using his hair. He threw his head back, trying to shake the grip on his hair. It worked. He shook the water from his ear, coughing as he tried to get air back into his system.
"Baka. That's what you get for staying underwater for so long," a voice snapped beside him.
Releasing his hold on his legs, Yamapi started to rub his eyes. After one glance at the person beside him, he thought he was seeing things. "Mirage. 'sgotta be," he muttered to himself. After a few more rubs, he turned back to the mirage/illusion and realized it wasn't a mirage at all. "Ryo... How'd... you get into my apartment?" Yamapi asked hesitantly, trying hard not to feel naked in front of his best friend. Oh wait, that's exactly what he was.
Nishikido Ryo snorted, "I broke in obviously, Tomohisa." He leaned against the nearby wall.
Yamapi rose an eyebrow and mentally thought to himself that that was probably possible when it came to Ryo. He hugged his legs to himself, trying to feel better at being in a bathtub, naked with his best friend right there, leering at him? "Ryo. Stop checking me out already," Yamapi snapped, frowning at this.
"You're in a bathtub, naked," Ryo pointed out, "It's hard for me not to."
Grumbling, Yamapi tried to change the topic, "So how'd you really get in?"
"Well, your spare key isn't very hard to find," Ryo said, crouching so that he was now face to face with Yamapi. "You know, it's a bad idea for you to leave it under your mat. Because I'm considerate, I chose a better hiding place. It's at the top of your doorframe now." He flicked Yamapi lightly on the forehead, "Now why were you trying to drown yourself?"
Yamapi grumbled, "I wasn't. I was just... catching my breath." He turned away from Ryo, hoping that the older male would let it go.
"I think the problem was that you weren't breathing," Ryo snapped.
"I would've! A few seconds later!" He argued, turning back only to find his best friend was currently stripping. "Wha?! Ryo, what are you doing?!" He cried, aghast. It wasn't like he had never seen Ryo naked before, but he was just being caught off guard. This was his house, for crying out loud! Plus, he had never expected anyone to be inside of his house, much less his bathroom.
"Tomohisa," Ryo said, his voice sounding tired, "I thought you had eyes. Maybe we should consider getting you stronger prescription glasses." He kicked off his last piece of clothing and stared at Yamapi's somewhat fetal position.
"My eyes are fine," Yamapi growled, "But your brain obviously isn't. What do you think you're doing?!"
"Well, Akanishi always brags about how he takes baths with you, although I don't see why that's something to brag about, so I thought I'd do it once and shove it in his face," Ryo said simply, crouching down to meet his eyes. "Now, do be a good boy and stop clutching your legs as you are. It'll be uncomfortable when I go in and I don't want you kicking me in the eye when you finally decide to stretch your legs."
Yamapi blinked at him. 'Jin brags about taking baths with me? What's that all about? Wait, Ryo wants to get in the tub too?!' "No way," he quickly replied. "You are not getting in this tub with me!"
Ryo raised an eyebrow, "It's not like it's not going to fit us both. If Bakanishi can fit in it, I sure as hell can. Now stop being stubborn, I'm going to get in this tub whether you like it or not." Without warning, Ryo suddenly plunged his hands into the tub, leaning over the edge and searching for Yamapi's hands. He easily found them, by following the line of his arms and struggled to unclasp them. Yamapi put up a bit of a struggle as he started to rock from side to side, but Ryo was a lot more stubborn and he was able to get Yamapi to let go of his hands. "Now was that so difficult?" Ryo asked, and then sighed when he saw that Yamapi was now just huddled at the corner, trying to stay away from Ryo. "You act like I'm going to attack you. Calm down, Tomohisa."
Yamapi glared, muttering, "It'd be just like you to attack me. When I have my guard down."
Ryo laughed, "Well, I can tell you now that I won't attack you. Scout's honor."
"You're not a scout!" Yamapi snapped, but he still laid his legs out and tried to get comfortable, despite the fact that Ryo was now going to join him and how strange this all was.
Ryo grinned and stood back up and placed one leg after the other into the tub. He sat at the opposite end, making sure that his feet were placed comfortably beside Yamapi and that he wouldn't accidentally kick him. He sighed happily, dunking his head into the warm water and then back out a second later. "Hmmm... Your water's temperature's just right, Tomohisa," Ryo complimented, shutting his eyes and leaning back on the edge.
"Ryo... Are you ever going to tell me why you're here?" Yamapi asked, as he leaned back as like Ryo did but still a little stiff.
Ryo yawned, "Tomohisa, just stop thinking for a minute and relax. Isn't that what one's supposed to do in the tub?"
Yamapi would've lifted his head and glared at his friend, if that wouldn't take so much work. Besides, relaxing sounded like a good idea at the moment; as did not thinking. He leaned back and shut his eyes. He placed the wet towel over said eyes and just concentrated on his breathing, not letting any other thoughts come into his mind. Ryo did the same at the other end and neither of them talked for a good ten minutes. Both just relished in each other's comfortable presence and laid where they were.
"What'd you tell him?" Ryo's sharp voice suddenly broke in. This startled Yamapi out of his reverie and he abruptly sat up in this position. Ryo was already sitting and was staring at him with serious eyes and Yamapi was suddenly afraid that Ryo could see into his very being for some reason.
"Wha?" Yamapi asked as he licked his lips in anxiety. "Who him?" he said dumbly, knowing perfectly well who Ryo was talking about.
"Baka," Ryo said with no malice in his voice, "Don't play dumb with me. Jin. I'm talking about Jin."
Out of habit, he touched his nose and then brushed back his wet hair, before getting it tangled. He made a show of trying to smoothen the tangles when Ryo leaned over and smacked his hand.
"You're trying to distract me, and you know that never works. So talk," Ryo snapped and leaned back into his previous position.
Yamapi stared at him for a few minutes before he dunked himself halfway into the water, so that everything but his eyes was underwater and all he could see was the exhaustion in Ryo's face. He raised his head back and muttered a "I told him 'ganbatte.'"
He smiled (with a tinge of sadness, Yampi noted), Ryo asked, "Is that how you really feel?" He adjusted his seating and leaned against the edges of the tub with his elbows.
"Of course it is!" Yamapi snapped, "I want Jin to do what he thinks is good for him. And he feels like going into America and studying English! So I'll see him through it!" He felt like sulking, as though Ryo was making him out to be a bad friend and Yamapi refused to think that way.
"I'm not saying you don't want to," Ryo said, his voice was filled with unusual kindness. When Yamapi looked at him quizzically with his eyebrows raised. Ryo snapped, "I'm trying to be nice. Don't ruin it."
Yamapi laughed. "Ryo, it's fine," Yamapi insisted and he got the sudden feeling that that would become a phrase that he'd repeat a lot. He started to play with the small towel and dragged it to one side of the tub and then to the other and just watched the trail it left in the water.
"So why does Akanishi think otherwise?"
Yamapi's head shot up and he switched his attention to Ryo, who was staring at him, a frown on his lips. "Wha-What'd Jin say?"
Rolling his eyes, Ryo asked, "Does it matter? He just sent me to go to you, and he sounded worried, but apparently you're fine, so I don't see why I'm here in the first place. It's not like I'm getting laid in the process." He said the last line in a grumble, but Yamapi still heard him. However, the other male ignored the phrase at the same time. Ryo was starting to get out of the tub when Yamapi leaned over and shoved him back.
"Ryo. Stop being purposely irritating and just tell me what Jin said!" Yamapi could've sworn that he was screeching at this point, but he didn't care.
Ryo sighed, rolling his eyes. "What I do for you two," he muttered, and then looked Yamapi in the eye, "He wants me to take care of you while he's gone. He worries about you, you know." When he saw Yamapi's eyes tearing up, he snorted, "Of course you know. You two are pratically lovers." Yamapi then glared and Ryo resisted from pointing out that that was exactly what everyone called the two, but thought better of it; now was neither the time or place (besides, Ryo could use this in the future anyway.) "Anyway, he just wanted me to make sure you're healthy and not over working yourself." As an after-thought, Ryo added, "And not drowning yourself in bathtubs. I think that's one of the things too." Yamapi made a swipe at him and Ryo laughed as he dodged the hit.
Yamapi leaned back and then dunked his head into the water again. Coming back out and shaking his head slightly, and ignoring the cries of Ryo's yells that he wasn't a dog, Yamapi looked Ryo in the eye once more. "Thanks," he muttered, before dunking halfway into the water again.
Ryo grinned, looking like he'd just won some sort of prize. "What was that?" he asked arrogantly, "I didn't quite hear that."
Grumbling, Yamapi snatched the forgotten towel and threw it at Ryo, where it smacked him on the face loudly. Ryo glared at Yamapi as it slid down his face and plopped back into the water. "I said, thank you," Yamapi repeated, pointedly.
Ryo shook his head. "As long as you don't do anything stupid around me, I'll be fine with taking care of you." He paused and looked at Yamapi with a raised eyebrow, "Although with your track record, I'm sure that it'll happen more often than not." When Yamapi started looking around for another mini-towel, Ryo snatched the two that was in the tub. "And I'll be keeping all throwable objects away from you too."
"Well, if you stopped acting like an ass, I might not have to throw things at you," Yamapi snapped, putting aside his desire to throw things at Ryo for another time, when there were more objects around.
Ryo started to get out of the tub, "I'm not an ass. I'm just not as nice as other people. That's all." Yamapi rolled his eyes and followed his friend out of the tub. The two grabbed the nearest towels, starting to dry themselves off when Ryo suddenly wacked Yamapi in the ass with his towel.
Yamapi yelped in reply and held his ass as he rubbed it to get rid of the stinging feeling. "What was that for?" Yamapi complained, still in pain.
"For throwing the towel at me earlier," Ryo said, drying his hair with the same towel. He smirked at Yamapi's glare and opened the bathroom door. "By the way? You're lending me some clothes." He started to saunter out of the room with the towel tightly wound around his waist.
Yamapi grumbled, "Who said I would? You could sleep naked for all I care."
Ryo heard the comment and turned around and grinned, "I'm fine with that. Just make sure you don't jump me in my sleep. But if I'm awake, I'm all for it." He disappeared into Yamapi's room, which had just been next door and Yamapi wanted to groan. Of all people that Jin send for back-up, he'd send Ryo. When he heard Ryo calling his name and was sking why his closet was filled with such crap, he groaned again. At least he could boast that his days would not be boring with Ryo around. When Ryo yelled again that he was such a slowpoke and he had better not find out that Yamapi had started jerking off to the memory of him naked, Yamapi wondered if that'd be a good thing.
