"Hey," Yabu greets softly, taking a seat beside a slumped figure on a bench. He places his hand on the wide back and the person looks at him with wide but sad eyes.
"Yabu-kun?" He acknowledges in a little voice and Yabu gives a small smile in return.
"Yuuto."
They look at each other for a few more seconds before Nakajima sighs, breaks contact with Yabu's eyes and sits back, his shoulder aligned with Yabu's. They sit comfortably, side by side and silence envelopes them. A cold wind passes through, rustling the leaves that surround them.
"It just doesn't seem fair Yabu-kun," Nakajima breaks the silence with an explanation, petulance evident in his every movement.
Yabu nods almost sympathetically then he pauses to ask, "what do you think is unfair though - that they're taking Yamada and Chinen, or that those two are more popular?"
Nakajima's eyes widen and he frantically shakes his head. Yabu remains unfazed and Nakajima lowers his gaze and his eyes focus on nothing in particular apparently deep in thought, while fiddling with his hands, "I... I don't know," he answers truthfully, "I guess, maybe a little of both." He confesses with barely a whisper.
"I see." Yabu nods again and Nakajima looks as though, with the truth out in the open, that he has been convicted and going to jail, or worse. He closes his eyes and hangs his head, disappointed etched all over his face.
"That doesn't make you a bad person."
Nakajima's head snaps towards Yabu's direction, bright-eyed and Yabu shrugs, a gentle smile on his face, "really?"
"Yuuto," Yabu says with fondness, "you can't help what you feel, but you can do something about the way you act. The way you act about your feelings, that would help to determine if you're a good person or not."
Nakajima nods at the wise advice, seriously trying to understand and digest the message of what Yabu had just told him.
"I've known you since you were this small," Yabu places his hand close to the ground, emphasizing just how long he's known Nakajima, "I know you're a really good person. Believe me."
Nakajima sighs, "it's just that... it's Chii! and it's Yama-chan! And we're Hey! Say! JUMP... it just doesn't seem right."
Yabu places an arm around Nakaajima's shoulder, "as the respective leaders of Hey! Say! BEST and Hey! Say! 7, I know we're both concerned... but consider this a way for the group to expand. They're not only bringing their own names, but they have to bring the entire group's as well - that makes them have to work doubly hard to make all of us shine."
"But Chinen and Yamada have to work really hard!" Nakajima protests, his eyes widening at Yabu's suggestion.
Yabu's eyes crinkle at the sides in amusement, "then that just means we'd have to take care of the both of them even more, ne?"
Nakajima blinks at the strange logic presented before him. He processes it for a few more moments before breaking out into a huge grin. He gives a big nod to Yabu and Yabu rubs his shoulder, "see. I told you you're not a bad person."
Nakajima blushes at the compliment and bows his head respectfully, "thank you so much Yabu-kun."
Yabu laughs and ushers them both inside the building.
-Omake!-
Yabu jumps at the small explosion he is met with as he enters the doors of the dressing room. His eyes are wide as he clasps at his chest. He looks around and sees nine excited faces looking at him.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY YABU-KUN!" All nine members yell into his ears which leave them ringing. A cake is presented in front of him with lit candles and when he is finished with feeling bewildered, he feels love rush through his veins for all these precious people.
"You... came?" He asks, his voice pitched too high for comfort.
They all start talking at the same time and all Yabu registers is that they've come to watch the final day of his stage show and that they aren't sure quite who to blame, but they're there and he's too happy to see everyone. They push the cake forward, demanding him to blow out the candles and when he does, they immediately throw the cake at his face. He splutters, still overwhelmed at the events.
He feels a hand on his shoulder and when he turns, he sees Nakajima's smiling face, "you're not a bad person either Yabu-kun."
