Chapter Nine - Consequences of Being Late
Title: Consequences of Being Late
Pairings: Akame, mentions of KusaPi and KoyaShige
Summary: Jin and Kazuya made a rule - whenever meeting up and one turns up late, said late person becomes the bottom. What happens when an unexpected circumstance presented itself to the pair?
Chapter Nine
“Jin,” Kazuya mildly tapped the older man’s face to try and wake him up. “Jiin~”
“Hmm?” Jin groaned and yawned. “What is it?”
“Do we have chocolate chip cookies?”
But Jin didn’t answer.
“Jiiiin~” Kame whined and tapped the older man again - this time with a bit force.
“What? Huh? Your water bag broke?” Jin panicked, still half asleep.
The pregnant man laughed. “Silly.”
“Ah. Good.” Jin went back to sleep.
Kame got irritated and pushed Jin of the bed.
“Ouch~” Jin moaned from the floor. “Why did you do that for?”
“You didn’t want to listen to me, that’s why.” Kame huffed. “You said you love me but in reality you don’t.” Kame’s mood changed to worse.
Jin, still sleepy, scratched his head. “Kame, you’re not making sense.”
“I was asking if we have chocolate chip cookies.”
“We don’t.”
“Then buy me one!”
Jin glanced at the clock placed on the bedside table. “But it’s three in the morning!”
“I don’t care! You impregnated me so you have to do whatever I ask of you!”
Jin yawned. “No. I’m not buying it. It’s junk food. That’s not good for the baby.”
“The baby! The baby!” Kame grouched. “All you care about is the baby!”
“No, that’s not true!” Jin protested. “I care about your wellbeing too!”
Kame cried, and didn’t listen to whatever Jin was saying. “You don’t. You don’t care about me at all!” his sobs grew loud and Jin had the urge to cover his ears. “I hate you!”
Jin sighed and hugged the younger man. “You know you don’t.” he soothed Kame’s back. “Don’t cry…”
Kame continued to wail. “You don’t want me anymore because I’m fat. A fat pregnant man! That’s why you don’t want to buy me chocolate chip cookies!”
Jin grinned. “Hush. You’re not fat - you’re fit; fit to carry our baby. Now shush and I’ll get whatever it is you want.”
Kame sniffed. “You really will?”
A sigh, before Jin answered. “Yes.” He softly glared at the younger boy. “Just don’t tell Hirayama-sensei or we’ll get it from him.”
Kame gave out a happy squeal. “I won't tell him, I promise.” He held out his little finger. “Pinky promise.”
Jin smiled. “Okay. Chocolate chip cookies, was it?”
“Hai~ and salsa too~”
“Salsa?”
“Yes. And we still have mustard right?”
“Uhhh… we do.”
“Great. That’s it.” Kame looked pointedly at Jin. “What are you still doing here? Scoot! Be back in thirty minutes~!”
Jin mock-saluted. “Yes sir~” and marched out of the room.
Kame grinned when Jin’s car finally drove off the driveway. He stood up to get the cordless phone and dialed Ueda’s number.
“M’llo?” the older man was definitely in deep sleep.
“I won the bet~~” Kame was grinning like a Cheshire cat. “I told you he’ll do anything I ask of him~~ even in the wee hours of dawn~~” he said in a singsong voice.
“He did what?!” Tatchan shrieked. “No!!!”
“I won fair and square.” Kame said manically. “Now you have to do whatever I ask of you~”
“No!!! I won't!” Ueda was adamant. “This is unfair.”
“What IS fair in this world?”
“Kame-” Ueda tried to renegotiate. “Listen, what you’re asking is impossible!”
“Why impossible?”
“Just because!”
“No fair.” Kame pouted over the phone. “I’m just asking a little-wittle favor from you~ and it’s not even for me! It’s for you!”
Ueda groaned. “No!”
Kame grinned evilly. He will be playing his last card on Ueda. “Tatchan, my twin from destiny~” he said in an overly sweet tone. “Are you sure you won't be doing it?”
“No! How many times do I have to say it?!”
“Then, I’ll tell Jin you were the one who told me to request something in the middle of the night.”
“You wouldn’t dare!” Ueda was panicking now. “And it wasn’t me! It was you who made the bet.”
“I doubt Jin will believe that~” Kame smirked. “I’ll just cry and he’ll believe me.”
“Y-you!” Ueda shrieked.
“Me?” Kame repeated in a bored tone.
“You’re evil!” the older man stated.
Kame chucked. “I’m not. Believe me; this is for your own good.”
“How is grabbing Junno’s butt in public good for me?!”
“Because he’ll realize that you’re attracted to him!”
“I am not! What nonsense are you talking about? Me?! Attracted to Junno?!”
Kame yawned. “Okay. So you really won't do it? You’d rather face Jin’s wrath for waking him up early this morning than admitting your feelings~”
“Aurgh!” Ueda was clearly frustrated now. No other choice but to choose between the two lesser evils. “Fine! Make sure to keep your eyes open or you’ll miss it!” and then he hanged up on Kame.
“Yosh!” Kame excitedly said and dialed another number.
This time, it was Junno’s.
“Shi-moshi?” Junno’s sleepy and muffled voice answered the call.
“Jun-no~”
“Ah… Kame-chan?” Junno yawned.
“Yup.”
“’sup?”
“Well, I’m here to tell you that Tatchan fell for my trick and he’ll be feeling you up tomorrow~ or technically, today. And in public too!”
“How did you manage to trick him?” Junno was fully awake now.
“Oh, I have my ways~~” Kame giddily replied. “Confess to him~”
“But-”
“No buts. No arguments. Just tell him you like him after, okay?”
“But-”
Kame cut Junno for the second time. “Nu-uh~ no buts remember?” when Junno sighed, Kame gave a victorious smile. “I gotta go. I hear Jin’s car coming back. See you later~” he placed the phone back to its cradle and waited for Jin to come back to their bedroom.
After a few minutes, Jin entered the room weary and sleepy. He handed Kame the plastic bag of his requested goods and a bottle of mustard. “Here you go.” He stared at the man who was smiling so contentedly. “What did you do now?”
“What? Are you implying I did something wrong?”
“Yes.” Jin frowned, still suspicious at Kame’s innocent smile.
Kame beamed at Jin. “Really, it’s nothing~” he pulled Jin back to bed. “Let’s just eat these~” he said happily. ‘Whew. Conspiracy sure is a tough job to do.’ He thought to himself.
“We have an appointment with Hirayama-sensei this morning.”
“We’re doing the sonogram today right?”
Jin happily nodded. “Yup~ I’m excited to see our baby.”
Kame nodded contentedly and graced Jin a sweet smile. “Me too.” After which, he dipped his chocolate chip cookie into the salsa bottle. “Mmm~ this is delicious.” He said to Jin. “Wanna try it?”
“Uhhh… No.” Jin declined. “I thought you hated tomatoes?”
“I do. But the baby doesn’t.” Kame shrugged. “Who am I to disagree?” repeating his previous action, he dipped the cookie into the bottle and then squeezed a bit of mustard sauce on top of the salsa/cookie combination. “And the baby loves mustard too!”

A/N: Crafty pregnant monster~~ XD
I was researching pregnancy cravings. There’s this theory that says it’s a result of nutritional deficiency and that it’s the body’s approach to determine what you and the baby need during the pregnancy. That’s really something mysterious ne? About the mustard craving that Kame has on this series - it’s actually an agent of mine who craved it during her pregnancy last year finally! I was able to mention it. I keep on forgetting to add the reason why I make Kame eat mustard every chance he has it was fun to watch her eat apples, bananas and grapes with mustard. And she was warned by the security guards A LOT OF TIMES not to eat in the work area and she nags them back. *laughs* crazy girl, I swear! She’s a year younger than me so… she was 21 almost 22 last year. She’s really scary when angered. Pregnant or not. XD The cookies on salsa dip I found in some website for bizarre food combination and it tastes good - or so said by the person who posted that thread~ XD
Oh, I might or might not be disappearing for the next two-three weeks. My younger sister and I will be moving again this weekend. The phone and net would definitely take some time to be transferred just like what happened three months ago but I will try to be around and post whenever I have time to go to an internet café. I will still be around until Sunday at least. Just letting you guys know in case I go missing~ XD
Alright~ I better go and nap for a bit.
Comments please? XD
EDIT: I almost forgot! I even saved this update to greet her this day~ *smacks self* Happy Birthday to
silent_jing! I feel really old because of our age difference! XD
EDIT 2: Is it just me, or Kame looks vampire-like here?
Oh yeah, probably just me~ XD
