[Akamepi] Go-Between
Title: Go-Between
Pairing: Akamepi
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Go-between (noun): A person who acts as an agent or intermediary between persons or groups; emissary.
Note: I say I’m going to concentrate on a few certain fic projects so of course I write something new. Of course. Much thanks to mananeh who was patient enough to sit through my whining about this. Set around the time Jin leaves.
1.
When Jin boards his plane, they watch from the ground. Ryo, Yuu and Yamapi. Everyone else is here too; Jin's family had said goodbye earlier in the morning. They had breakfast together. His brother wakes up two hours earlier than usual, his father takes the morning off from work and his mother cooks enough food to feed several Jins. Jin’s ridiculously pleased and annoyed.
They had left though, along with everyone else since they weren't silly enough to hang around an extra five hours as Jin's flight got delayed again and again.
Only idiots did that, and they were all smarter.
For once, Ryo doesn't mind being an idiot.
Kame sticks around too, a slight shape out of the corner of Yamapi’s eye for most of the day. He leaves just before Jin’s plane takes off.
2.
Yamapi had always known he'd miss Jin when he was gone. It was obvious that everyone would. Jin was that kind of person. What he didn't know was that missing people was like this.
3.
Jin sends him a letter full of scrawls and kanji that's written in crooked script (and, when Yamapi really read it, are more often than not completely wrong). He tells Yamapi of things like the crazy American parties with weird drinks. He tells Yamapi of the hot girls he meets when he’s out and he even tells Yamapi how some of them tasted like vanilla and sweaty girl skin when he licks at the hollow between their breasts. He tells Yamapi that school was kind of boring, but the people were nice and let him eat their food all the time and that hash cookies weren't what he thought they were, but they were really cool anyway.
Something hot and heavy in Yamapi's belly curls in disappointment when he finds out that Jin had sent similar letters to all of them. Even Kame.
4.
Yamapi writes back. They all do. It's Jin after all.
5.
Strangely enough, Kame starts to speak to him again. They're not good together anymore, not like they were when they were filming Nobuta, and even then, they had been awkward.
Yamapi's not really surprised when Kame invites him out to eat. Kame likes to play it safe, and there's nothing safer than food to Yamapi. They order and eat, making small talk that they don’t really pay attention to.
Kame's too professional to fiddle about with his chopsticks, but Yamapi doesn't care so much, so he twirls them about in the soup left over from the udon noodles, until Kame pushes away his bowl, saying that he's full.
When he stands up, Kame stands up with him. Falling into old patterns again is ridiculously easy, and Kame spends the night at his house. They don't really speak since they're not too good at that, but they've always been good with silences.
6.
When Kame finally says he misses Jin, Yamapi can only agree, throat choked up. He does, more than he thought he would.
It’s strange the way that Yamapi’s admission prompts Kame to go on a bit more. Kame sits up, back ramrod straight, eyes fevered.
He tells Yamapi about Jin’s fingers and how warm they are when they’re in him and twisting in deep. He tells Yamapi about the way Jin carefully holds the backs of his knees when he’s lifting Kame up to push in. He tells Yamapi about the way Jin breathes loudly through his nose as he fucks him, lips pressed against the corner of his mouth, baby soft.
Yamapi curls his hand into a fist and doesn’t say anything.
7.
He just wants Kame to shut up.
It's easy to cup Kame by the side of his face, and lean forward just enough so that their knees bump and his mouth touches Kame's. He waits there, for Kame’s eyes to close, for Kame’s neck, stiff with tension to slide out of his grasp and forward, until Kame drags a hand over his shoulder and kisses him back with all the breath in his body.
8.
Kame tells Yamapi he loves him. Loves Jin.
Yamapi doesn’t say anything back.
9.
The first thing Ryo does when he sees him is call him an idiot. Yamapi’s mouth hurts where Kame’s bitten at it.
10.
They do it all the time now, meet up. Sometimes Yamapi brings Toma since Toma’s good with people. Sometimes Kame brings Maru, but that makes everything awkward again. Yamapi wishes distantly that it was anyone but Kame, but sometimes he doesn’t. Kame gets it after all.
11.
When management tell him News are going over to America for a calendar shoot, Yamapi thinks it’s weird. He’s not surprised when Johnny asks to see him.
12.
He’s even less surprised when Jin says clearly that it doesn’t matter what Johnny wants.
Jin, he says, hand on Jin’s wrist.
He’s only guilty for the minute he sees Jin hating him, but then he remembers Jin will be back in Japan and he doesn’t feel as bad.
13.
Kame rings up at three am.
Yamapi fumbles for the phone, eyes blinking sleepily. He rolls over and sits up in bed, the sheets falling to his waist. Jin’s form is splayed out next to him, the line up the middle of his back straight and true. His face is smooth. The tired smudges under his eyes that he acquired in Japan are gone. He moves in his sleep, curving away from Yamapi, limbs curling up awkwardly, a fist beside his cheek.
Yamapi touches the bite mark on his shoulder blade lightly.
Is he? Kame asks, voice twisted anxiously.
Yes, Yamapi says. Yes.
14.
Jin comes back. Of course he does.
But he doesn’t speak to Yamapi in the same way again.
