a/n: Chap.06; Everyone ended up having a Sunday picnic in Kame's backyard. Also, Kame's secret was discovered by Junno~ Happy reading ♡
<><><><><><><><><><>
House rules - no kissing, no touching, no smooching.
Those were Kame’s condition for taking over the grill. Though, everyone knew he just wanted to hog all the cooking. So no one cared, really. In fact, they were very happy to have him take charge. Nakamaru also did what he was best at - cutting fruits and making the juice. Junno found himself in charge of the music - having more fun than he and the other three even expected. While Tatsuya---
“Ueda, what will you do?”.
“I eat”.
Tatsuya had a few favourite things in life; his dog, his hobby, his work, (secretly) Kame and Nakamaru, and recently, Junno; but his all-time favourite as everyone already knew, was food.
And Sunday afternoon graced him with all his favourite things.
It was supposed to be a day with him relaxing at home, somewhere, anywhere with Junno. But then, Nakamaru annoyed and tricked him into joining him and Kame for a barbeque - and just how could Ueda refuse food? Especially Kame’s food - Kame, the god of cooking.
Junno seemed more than happy for the invitation, beaming and saying his real mission would be to get old embarrassing stories about when Tatsuya was much younger.
That Sunday, the sky was mostly blue, but at times, puffs of white clouds polka-dotted its vastness. Kame’s backyard was wide from his riches and green from recent end of summer rains.
“So you’re in love with Nakamaru, ah?” Junno very randomly pitched to Kame who did well at hiding his surprise.
Flipping over the beef on the grill, he shrugged a shoulder, "you have a good nose", then asked, “and if I am?”
“Nothing. I just wondered how comes Uepi didn’t say anything”.
There was a short musing pause before Kame replied, “that’s because only two people know”.
Junno didn’t hold back his surprise, “who? You, me and Nakamaru… wait that’s three”, and when Kame gave him the wink, Junno was almost too loud when he confirmed, “wait, you’re not telling me-“
“What are you guys talking about?” Nakamaru interrupted, picking a piece of meat from the grill.
Kame grinned, “about how much I love you”.
Nakamaru laughed, eyes near shut like he’d just heard the joke of a lifetime, “well in that case, I should start looking pretty for you”, he replied as he packed a plate full of meat before walking away to re-join Tatsuya under the shade of some overhanging flowers.
Kame laughed too, though it was haughty and without force, “don’t say it”, he quickly asked, knowing full well Junno's intended question, but-
“Unrequited”, Junno finished nonetheless, “or maybe he just doesn’t know”.
Kame only hummed, lips sealed quiet and contemplative. Junno got it, so before he left to join Nakamaru and Tatsuya, he smiled at Kame and said, “fight on solider”.
Kame nodded in appreciation.
***
“That’s some good music playing”, Junno nudged towards the CD player, “who’s that?”
At the question, Nakamaru and Kame looked at Tatsuya appalled, and in unison they asked, “you haven’t told him?”
“Shut up”, Tatsuya was quick to reply, “it just hasn’t come up”.
“Tell me what?” Junno questioned, his eyes wide in wait.
Pointing to Tatsuya, Kame asked, “do you know the work this guy does?”
Junno’s hesitation was an obvious answer.
“You’ve got to be joking, right?” Kame exclaimed, “how can you be together for so long and not know what work he does? What the heck do you guys do or talk about when you meet up?”
Awkwardly, Tatsuya shifted in his seat while Junno, flashed a mischievous smirk.
“None of your business”, Tatsuya snapped.
Now half smiling in embarrassment, Junno added, “well I know he works in music, but I don’t know exactly what”.
Nakamaru sighed, “well at least you know that much”.
“So, who’s that singing?” Junno asked, then suddenly with eyes wide like the universe just made sense he stuttered, “don’t tell me… Uepi, is that you?”
“Wrong”, Kame impatiently answered, “you really are unbelievable”.
“Go away”. It was Tatsuya trying to fan Kame away. He then turned to Junno, “I wrote this song - I mostly write pop rock”, he laughed, shyness in his voice and how he averted his eyes from Junno.
With a face full of grin Junno bent and damped a kiss on Tatsuya’s forehead, “wow, I’ve got me a very talented man”.
When ten seconds passed of them canoodling, Kame cleared his throat, “house rules”.
But Tatsuya didn’t care, “ignore them two monkeys”, he laughed, putting his lips against Junno’s mouth.
Kame and Nakamaru pretended to puke, but the more they watched, the more their very hearts fluttered light with glee - very glad their closest friend had found a love so dear and comfortable and sickeningly sweet (they laughed) - like a doting friendship, they enjoyed watching Tatsuya’s cheeks get polished in the colour of a fair day's setting sun.
***
By late afternoon, the air was warm, but with nippy chills at random intervals. Most of the food was grilled and eaten, leaving behind a smell that would've made a hungry person’s belly growl. The four men were now under the hanging flowers, seated on Nakamaru’s ‘Do It Yourself’ bench, watching the endless blue in the sky and feeling a little sad that summer was about to---
“Junno is kind of an airhead”, Nakamaru laughed, remembering their earlier conversation as he watched Junno who had excused himself to go pour another drink and change the music.
Tatsuya laughed too but in the same breath added, “but isn’t he just cute?”
Kame snickered, “anything and everything is cute when you’re in love”.
in love…
Once again, Tatsuya was in love.
Though, good heavens, this time it was a feeling that felt surer even than his very life.
“You’re doing well”, Kame said, patting him on the head.
Hands thrown over Tatsuya’s shoulders, Nakamaru added, “you look so happy, it’s disgusting”.
Laughing, Tatsuya brushed Nakamaru’s hand away saying, “don’t be so jealous”, leaving them on the bench as he went to join Junno.
***
Be it the white yellow gleam of sunrise or the russet bleed of sunset, it would always seem to melt into Tatsuya’s hair.
“Do you ever wear your hair black?” Junno asked, his fingers twirled around Tatsuya’s locks.
“I did, a few months ago”.
“Why did you dye it?”
“I find blond sexy”, Tatsuya laughed, “don’t you think so?”
Junno laughed too but with a teasing edge, “yeah, you’re so sexy I can’t take my eyes off you”.
Chuckling, Tatsuya poked Junno in his side, “do you want me to go back black?”
Junno shook his head, “everything has its season - and now I’m enjoying your season of blond”.
Tatsuya grinned, “but what if this season goes on for very long?”
Junno leant across and kissed Tatsuya on his bare neck, “that’s ok. I get the feeling you and I have got all the time in the world”.
Perhaps then the universe stopped;
for like those gliding orange and black butterflies, Tatsuya glowed when in laughter; his cheekbones delicately chiselled, his tiny teeth perfectly lined in his gum, the flatten amber hair around his temple, the small crinkles around his happy eyes, his strong arms wrapped around Junno - everything about Tatsuya, made him the handsomest monarch butterfly.
Junno hugged him back.
It wouldn’t be long before summer was gone.
