Title: Bonds of time
Pairing: yamajima friendship and yamachii
Rating: PG
Notes: for Tarryn because it’s yamachii. This story is fictional, partially inspired by yamajima’s insistence on having been twins in a previous life.
My name is Nakajima Yuto; I’ve kept an eye on my friend Yamada Ryosuke and I am always looking out for him; since Yama-chan is shy and quiet. Not long after we met I realized that he was bullied a lot. I did my best to discourage them until they stopped. I ended up taking Yama-chan under my wing and enjoyed playing sempai to his friend.
I noticed before anyone else did that our friend Chinen Yuri was interested in Yama-chan. I think Chii is a nice guy but I’m worried about Yama-chan, I don’t want the older more sensitive boy to be hurt.
Chii was relentless in his pursuit, it didn’t take Yama-chan long to fall for the younger boy’s confident manner. They were soon inseparable, I won’t ever admit it out loud that I was a little jealous but the bond they shared was stronger then the bond between Yama-chan and myself. Bonds were strange things and I don’t presume to understand them. I maybe Catholic but some things are culturally engrained in me.
Chii has always been gentle and patient with Yamada, he has never pushed him too hard or too fast. I’m thankful he treats him well but I still worry, relationships between bandmates aren’t encouraged. If it gets too serious they are usually driven apart…
Yamada is shy and is emotionally un-suited to a life in the public eye; but he tries really hard. He depends on Chii and I a lot…
All three of us were later debuted in a group called Hey! Say! 7, it was strange apparently fate wanted to keep us together. The other two members were friends from a junior group I had been a member for a short time; JJ Express. Yama-chan started getting busier with dramas and neither of us saw much of him; we worried he would work too hard or forget to eat. I remember that I felt abandoned in a way but Chii was broken-hearted. I tried to comfort him. I know Yama-chan was lonely; he probably missed both of us and couldn’t wait to see us.
Then we were re-debuted with five new members as Hey! Say! JUMP, poor Yama-chan was busier then ever, we all were.
Chii still did his best to be Yama-chan’s pillar of strength, to offer his company as a comfort to the one he loved. We were all excited to find out that he would be a guest on two episodes of his Ryosuke’s drama 1 Punch Gospel. They were inseparable after that, and then came the spring drama special that the three of us were in with Daiki. We kept finding them cuddling and taking naps between shoots. Chii was so proud of him, that drama special was Yama-chan’s assistant director debut.
Yama-chan is getting stronger but he still relies on us, his smile is reward enough for being his friend. Though sometimes I feel like more of a brother….

My name is Yamada Ryosuke; I used to be the unpopular one in school but then I joined Johnnys. My whole world changed, I had friends and fans. Girls that used to ignore me wanted to be my friends or would confess they always loved me.
Nakajima Yuto is my best friend but he treats me little a little brother sometimes, *laughs* and I’m older. It’s okay though sometimes I need to be looked after since I tend to be forgetful.
Yuri….what can I say about him? Chinen Yuri is a very special guy; I care about him a lot. He is the person I’m closest to, I might even love him but I think I’m too young for that.
Some of my fans are starting to say I’m over-rated, you would think I would be upset with them but I agree. What’s so special about me? I can’t sing that well-compared to Yuri and Yuto, my acting is terrible-I lose character half-way through the drama and I’m only popular because I’m cute. I’m not sure I like that, I have too many crazy fans anyway if they want to become Ryutaro fans why should I really care?
I used to like the attention but it’s gotten to be too much, I can’t get used to always being recognized. Something I think I would be happier staying at home in my room and barely seeing anyone. I’m pretty sure it would be rude to make them stay outside the door…
I wish my life would slow down, since I got put in Hey! Say! 7 my life have been one major project after another. If it weren’t for Yuto and Yuri being geniuses I doubt I would have gotten to senior high school. How I passed Horikoshi I will never understand…
The people I feel closest too are the ones I couldn’t live without…

I’m Chinen Yuri; I’m the poison tongued shadow leader of JUMP. If I don’t like it we don’t do it. The only time I fail at controlling things is when I hear Ryosuke got another drama. They are going to make him sick with all that work, add that to a concert tour every season and I’m afraid for him.
I’ve loved Yamada Ryosuke since I first saw him; I thought he was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I wanted to be close to him, sleep beside him, work with him and bask in his smile. I was ecstatic when I was put into a temporary junior band with him; I nearly died of happiness when I heard about Hey! Say! 7.
I want more then the occasional stolen kiss and cuddling but I can’t force him. I want Ryosuke to want me the way I want him. He is something infinitely precious to me; he is my boyfriend, my soulmate- I just have to wait for him to feel it too. I hate seeing him over-worked and I don’t know what I would do if I lost him….
I shouldn’t think such things its bad luck…
