So today. I've been utterly obsessed with this damn game that I can't stop playing. Those messy rooms and they give you a list of things to find and you're supposed to find them within some time limit? Yeah, that kind of game. I feel asleep at FIVE because of that damn thing.
Anyway, I was talking to Jemz on aim and she came up with this to help distract me. Then she pulled in Iso and we all wrote~ So here's my attempts.

Jemz's Drabbles-
Iso's Drabbles Drabble #1: hips, pillow, heart
It's not often that Ryo gets to sleep - his schedule's tiring and stressful and sometimes, he wonders if it's all worth it in the end. He finds himself dozing off in the weirdest places - at a shooting, in the break room, in the bathroom, on the shinkansen, on a bench waiting for the shinkansen. And when he wakes up, he's never refreshed, never satisfied and Ryo always finds himself grumpy without meaning to be (but then again, he's almost always grumpy so it's become pretty much his normal demeanor).
He sometimes gets the feeling that nobody understands - that nobody has to work just as hard as he does. And then Ryo sees the bags under his bandmates eyes, the exhaustion they have to carry day in and day out, and it makes him feel even more miserable than he already is because he suddenly gets the feeling that he's just being so greedy and selfish and maybe he should be more considerate.
But then it's another long day at work and Ryo finds himself sleeping inside the NewS break room. He tells himself as he lays his head on the pillow that he'll just nap a little. Maybe this time, he'll wake up a little more refreshed, a little more awake, a lot less grumpy.
Ryo hears the sound of his fellow bandmates walking in and he thinks it may be a lost cause - maybe he should just stay awake and deal with it. But there's very little noise - a little shushing noise and that's about it. Footsteps are muted and Ryo wonders if they're tip toeing for his sake. He can feel a blanket being placed over him and Ryo sighs sleepily in reaction.
"Ryo-chan's been working hard, ne?" A soft-voiced Koyama says to the others.
A hand reaches out and brushes a strand of Ryo's hair to the side, away from his eyes, and the feel of fingers against his skin is warm and soft. "We'll let him rest a little longer, then take him to dinner," Yamapi tells the others.
Then the footsteps are leading out, and Tegoshi's recognizable voice muses, "Let's go to his favorite restaurant. It'll make him happy, ne?" The rest of the members murmur their agreements before the door shuts behind them. Ryo snuggles into the blanket, a smile on his face, and his exhaustion lifts, just a little but more than enough.
Drabble #2: tea, gloves, sorry
Shige doesn't exactly like the fact that he says "Sorry" all the time - he hates it even more that Ryo is the one who calls him out on it. It's maddening and infuriating and he doesn't like being told things he doesn't wanna hear, especially from someone who's as picky as Ryo is.
"Idiot, why are you apologizing?" Ryo sneers one day after Shige had accidentally bumped into him through a hallway.
Shige's eyes go wide. "Because... it's my fault?" He'd always thought it was proper manners - he'd been brought up to believe so anyway.
Ryo rolls his eyes. "Saying "Excuse me" would've worked too. Sometimes, you're just so normal, Kato." Shige watches as Ryo turns away, a little perplexed by Ryo's obvious dislike, but the word "normal" bubbles up inside of him and he doesn't like the sound of it, the feel of it.
He's in Johnny's. He's not normal. He doesn't want to be normal. Shige has always wanted to be noticed - everyone knows it. Even his invisible cat. So he hates the idea that Ryo can pick on him on something he can't control.
The next time he bumps into someone - Yamapi - Shige stumbles through an "Excuse me" rather than saying an outright "Sorry." The smile on Yamapi's face tells him that he knows exactly what Ryo told Shige (although Shige wouldn't be surprised if he did) and he tells Shige that it was his fault to begin with.
Yamapi gets to the dressing room minutes before Shige who stops off at a bathroom and when he enters, he's immediately greeted by Ryo. "Maybe you're not as normal as I thought." Shige blinks a couple of times before his eyes are caught by a grinning Yamapi at the table. He winks and Shige finds himself flushing.
"I'm never normal," Shige retorts before walking inside, bumping shoulders with Ryo who won't move from the doorway. Shige turns to face Ryo and says pointedly, "Excuse me," before walking inside the room. Shige misses the grin that grows on Ryo's face, but he knows it's there nonetheless.
Drabble #3: bunny, puppy, shoe
To Yamapi, Tegoshi's become a bit of a clinging puppy. It's cute though - having Tegoshi hang onto his every word and follow his whims and desires. Although, to be fair, Yamapi doesn't play the "senpai" card too often; he doesn't have to though because the last time he did, he got severe glares from the rest of the members.
"Ne, Yamashita-kun?" Tegoshi asks after a photoshoot one day. "Are you free for dinner?"
Yamapi nods, slipping into his leather jacket. "Yeah. Wanna go out?"
Tegoshi's eyes go wide and he grins widely. "Yeah! But Yamashita-kun's treating!"
It's a bit of a laugh that Tegoshi's able to wrap everyone neatly around his finger, but Yamapi doesn't mind. "Sure," Yamapi says. "That'd be fine."
The look in Tegoshi's face makes Yamapi want to laugh - it'd been like he hadn't expected Yamapi to accept at all. "Ehhh! Yamashita-kun's the best!" he coos before latching onto Yamapi's arm happily. Yamapi looks down before patting Tegoshi on the head.
"Anything for Tegoshi-kun," he murmurs. Yamapi can feel the heat from Tegoshi's face against his arm and he has to grin. It's cute and utterly amazing to him that Tegoshi can still idol worship him even though they're in the same group and have spent 4 years working together. Also add in the fact that Tegoshi has been growing up, becoming extremely talented and knowledgable about the industry. Yamapi loves that he's still just that small boy who was thrust into this world and admires Yamapi and sees him as his goal - he relishes in it and wants to protect it. Yamapi shrugs his arm out of Tegoshi's hold and slumps it over the younger boy's shoulders "Ne, Tegoshi-kun, wanna go to karaoke afterwards?"
Tegoshi looks up and his bright eyes warm Yamapi's heart. "Yeah! That'd be fun!" he exclaims. This is just how it should be, Yamapi thinks.
I'll be posting later again. Possibly with holiday fic. XP
