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?
30th October 2013
He woke up to find an envelope on the pillow beside his head, and no Taguchi to be found. Sleepily he rubbed at his eyes and sat up, turning the envelope over to find the words 'Happy Birthday' written on it, and frowning at it he opened it up and pulled out what appeared to be a letter and a plane ticket.
His curiosity got the better of him and he looked first at the plane ticket, the destination a place he hadn't heard of. He turned to the letter for explanation, but there were few words. 'Koki and I will pick you up from work this evening. Be outside the Fuji TV station at 5pm.'
He glanced back at the plane ticket again, it was dated that day. He smiled as he slid the letter and the ticket back into the envelope, he'd been pretty certain that the sudden 5 day break in his schedule was something to do with Taguchi but the younger man had refused to comment on it beyond raised eyebrows and a knowing smile.
He got up and ready, though he didn't really have much work planned that day, a meeting with his manager about what he hoped would be a new drama in the new year, and then filming for a variety show he was appearing on.
The filming finished at 4:45pm and so he rushed back to the dressing room to grab his things and wash his face before heading out to wait for Taguchi and Koki.
Neither of them spoke as he got into the car, despite his questioning about where they were going. That question answered itself soon enough though as Koki seemed to be following the road directions for the airport.
“We've leaving right now?” Ueda asked in surprise “But I haven't packed...”
“Stop worrying” Taguchi insisted “I've got everything we need.” and he appeared to be right as they arrived and Ueda went to the boot to help unload the two rather large suitcases stuffed into it.
“How long are we going for?” Ueda asked with a raised eyebrow.
“You'll be back by my birthday...so don't forget to buy me something nice on your journey OK?” Koki supplied, but Taguchi just laughed and hugged him.
“Thanks for dropping us off Koki, we'll see you in a few days.”
Ueda followed suit, giving Koki a quick hug. “Bye Koki.”
“See you guys, don't do anything I wouldn't do alright?” Koki teased.
Taguchi laughed again “Unless you've taken to extreme amounts of anal sex then I assure you we will be.”
Ueda just coughed, trying to remind the others of their location. “OK...well...plane, right?”
Taguchi nodded and turned away from Koki, who watched them until they were inside the terminal.
“Are you excited?” Taguchi asked once they'd checked in, Taguchi taking care of all the forms and luggage tickets.
“Yeah...I have no idea where we're going though...”
Taguchi smiled “It's on the ticket...we're going to Yukon, it's in Canada...”
Ueda eyes widened “Canada? Really?”
Taguchi just nodded smugly “But if you haven't already looked it up then I'm not going to spoil the surprise of why we're going there. Actually I was hoping you wouldn't...I think you'll like it though.”
Ueda whined “Well now you've got me wanting to look it up...”
Taguchi laughed again “Well don't, we're on our way now...just one really long flight and we'll be there...and then quite a long drive too...the good news though is that because of the time difference, we won't actually lose any time. We'll arrive at roughly the same Canadian time as the Japan time we set off at...like the flight never happened...the bad news is that it works the other way round on the way home, so it'll be as though it's taking us a whole day to get home...”
“That's going to suck...” Ueda said for lack of anything else to say.
“Yeah, sorry about that...I tried to get the best flights I could...but it really can't be helped that the time zones are so different.”
“Yeah...it's not your fault so...”
That seemed to placate Taguchi, and with a grin he turned back to Ueda “We'll have a proper meal once we get there but it will be a while yet so we should probably try and find something to eat first, there's a meal on the flight but you never know how nice those will be...”
Ueda nodded in agreement, and they headed off in search of food. They settled for a small noodle bar and ate their fill before heading through to the departure lounge.
Once on the flight, Taguchi handed Ueda a manga comic with a smirk “You didn't think I'd let you get bored now did you?” and he settled back against his seat with his own DS to occupy the time.
“So what do you have planned for the next few days then?” Ueda asked, closing his book once he'd tired of reading it.
“It's a secret, I'll tell you all about it tonight, but there's something I wanted to show you first and I don't want to ruin the surprise.”
Ueda huffed “You know I can't take surprises...I want to know now.”
Taguchi laughed and patted his hand, and Ueda had to resist leaning over to kiss him, remembering their surroundings.
Their meal was delivered a few hours later, and as expected it was nothing special, but Ueda was hungry and ate it all, before slumping down in his seat to take a nap. The next things he was aware of was Taguchi shaking him gently, whispering into his ear. “Baby, we're just landing now. Wake up.”
It took a while for him to figure out where he was, and then even longer to gather his things together in preparation to leave to plane. His eyes were still a little heavy as they headed off the plane and into the terminal, but the harsh chill all around him woke him up, and Taguchi handed him his thick coat just as he started to shiver.
He didn't understand much of what he saw inside the airport either, everything written in English, and he didn't understand either when Taguchi lead him through the small airport until he found what appeared to be a small shop. He waited outside, looking around at the strange place, and only a few minutes later Taguchi returned, a set of keys jangling in his hand.
“Keys for the hire car” Taguchi explained, and then lead him along to an indoor car-park where he found the car in question. It was really more of a Jeep if Ueda was honest with himself, and he turned sceptically to Taguchi.
“Are you sure you can drive this thing?”
“Sure, I can drive a boat...” Taguchi reasoned.
“This isn't a boat...” Ueda pointed out.
Taguchi's grin widened “No, but I head these babies can handle swamps so it should be fine for where we're going.”
“And where are we going?” Ueda questioned.
“Actually about that...I want it to be a surprise, so for the next hour and a half I want you to wear this blindfold.” Taguchi tried with a grin, and he produced a length of black cloth from his pocket. “Get in the car and I'll put it on.”
Ueda rolled his eyes, but Taguchi was already loading their luggage into the car and then climbing in himself. He let out a sigh and got in, leaning forward to allow Taguchi to fasten the cloth around his head.
For the duration of the journey he lay back and drifted in and out of sleep, listening to the heavy purr of the engine and the crackle of thick snow under the tyres, until finally the car slowed to a stop and Taguchi turned off the engine.
“OK just wait one minute.” Taguchi insisted, and Ueda listened as Taguchi got out walked off somewhere before returning to fetch something from the boot of the car, and then finally he returned to open Ueda's door and help him out of the car.
He took a moment to stretch out his limbs and then he took hold of Taguchi's hand and followed him in the direction he lead.
“Can I take this off yet?” Ueda whined.
“Almost, there's just something I want to show you first.” Taguchi chuckled in response and Ueda heard the sounds of a door opening and closing, the lack of wind signalling that they were now inside some kind of building. “This is our accommodation, it's a little cold right now but we'll light some fires in a little while and get warmed up.”
“I have another idea how we can get warmed up...” Ueda teased.
“Sounds good to me.” Taguchi responded, leading Ueda further “Watch your step, there are some stairs to head up now.”
Ueda did as he was told, carefully lifting his feet enough to climb the steps until Taguchi informed him that they're reached the top. They then crossed another room and there was the sound of a lock clicking open and a door sliding.
The harsh cold hit him again as he took a few steps forward before Taguchi reached out to place his hands on a railing. Taguchi moved in closer, pressing himself into Ueda's back and cuddling close enough to share some warmth. “OK” Taguchi whispered “Now you can look.”
