Summary: All they wanted was each other, just to be together the way they once were. But now that they have it, is that still enough?
4th August 2013
Taguchi was insufferable. He was loud, annoying, obnoxious and almost suffocating. But the weeks Ueda had spent with him since getting back together were the best of his life.
Things were still a little complicated, even though six weeks had passed Taguchi was still trying to make up for his previous behaviour, and as a result was still avoiding getting too physical with him.
He was certainly making up in other areas though, Taguchi insisted on coming over to his apartment at least six days a week to help out with cleaning and cooking, and in general spoiling Ueda.
That night was no different. Even though Taguchi had his first day of filming for a new drama he had a role in the next day, he still insisted on coming over to take care of Ueda.
“Junno” Ueda whined as the younger man set two plates of spaghetti down on the table. “We could have ordered take out, you've got a big day tomorrow.”
“Don't be silly” Taguchi chuckled. “It was no trouble, and I don't have filming until the afternoon, I already know all of my lines...”
“That's not the point though...” Ueda whined, he felt like he had nothing to give back “Tomorrow, it's my turn to spoil you, OK?”
“I can't wait” Taguchi smirked “I expect you to cook something for me, from scratch” and Ueda retaliated by throwing his napkin at him.
He gave out a sigh and dug into the food, Taguchi's cooking was certainly getting better. “Are you staying tonight?” he asked after a small silence.
“I don't think I should” Taguchi replied sadly “I've already stayed over twice this week...if anyone noticed...”
“Who's going to notice?”Ueda insisted stubbornly.
“Baby, we can't take any risks, you know that...” Taguchi answered softly.
It sucked, the whole situation sucked. Well, the part about being allowed to date Taguchi didn't suck, but the part where they had to tiptoe around behind everyone's backs sucked. It was part of the deal though, and he understood why is was important, but just because he understood it, it didn't mean he had to like it. “Don't call me that.” Ueda pouted, wanting to complain about something at least.
Taguchi just smiled, he knew Ueda too well, knew he liked it really, and that thought had Ueda smiling shyly as well. “You're blushing” Taguchi teased, and Ueda stole Taguchi's napkin to throw at him too.
After eating they took the dogs along to the park for a little walk and then headed back to Ueda's apartment to curl up on the sofa.
Ueda made tea while Taguchi hunted for a movie to watch, and then he dragged a thin blanket over to the sofa to cover them with as they stripped down to their underwear in the blistering August heat.
It was far too hot, but Ueda cuddled closer to Taguchi anyway, ignoring the movie and closing his eyes to concentrate on the steady rise and fall of Taguchi's chest below his cheek, listening to the steady thump of his heart, feeling the heat of Taguchi's body that he'd been without for so many months.
When he let out a soft sigh, Taguchi pulled back, looking down at him curiously, but Ueda just smiled softly. “I love you” he said quietly, and Taguchi's face lifted into a small smile.
“I love you too” he answered back, leaning down to place the most tender and chaste of kisses against his lips.
When Taguchi turned back to the TV, Ueda lay his head back down, content to listen to Taguchi's heart as the movie played on in the background.
He never meant to fall asleep, but before he knew it, he was waking up, his head against a cushion on his sofa, the blanket thrown over him.
He got up, rubbing the sleepiness from his eyes, and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was after midnight already, and there was no sign of Taguchi.
“Junno” he called out softly, but there was no reply save for a grumbling whine from one of the bundles of fur by his feet.
And that's when he noticed his keys on the table in front of him, not where he'd left them, but on closer inspection he noticed that the silly boxing mouse keyring had been sat up, leaning on the giraffe as though in an embrace, and the two of them were sitting upon a piece of paper.
He laughed a little to himself and then moved the keys, picking up the paper, it was note from Taguchi explaining that he had to get home, but Ueda had looked far too cute to wake up. It then wished him a good night's sleep and instructed him to let himself into Taguchi's apartment whenever he wanted the next day as Taguchi wasn't sure what time he'd be home.
With a smile he set the note back on the table, placing the keys back on top, arranging them in the same way Taguchi had, but he felt a slight pang of loneliness knowing that only their key-chain counterparts would be enjoying cuddles that night.
He sighed and got up from the sofa, herding the dogs back into the kitchen for the night, and then he shuffled along the hall to his bedroom where he flopped down onto his bed alone. He rolled onto his back and pulled his thin sheet lazily up around himself and stared at the door longingly for a few moments before finally rolling onto his side in the darkness.
He still felt a dull ache when Taguchi wasn't with him, and it was worse at night, when he felt cold despite the temperature, without arms holding him close. He let out another small sigh, and brought up his hand to fondle the ring on his finger comfortingly, at least he had that, and Taguchi's word that he loved him and him alone.
It was with those thoughts he finally drifted to sleep, looking forward to the next day when he'd be reunited with Taguchi again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I'm finally back with the next instalment of Baby Blue!! But damn this was hard to write - having only the weekends to write is turning out to be harder on me than I thought, especially now that I'm in the grasps of that ever annoying writer's block once again. For that reason I'll likely only be posting one chapter a week (and sorry, they're unlikely to be much longer than this) probably on Sundays. Sorry for the delay and thank you in advance to everyone that sticks with me through this ^__^
