Title: Why Biting Bugs Should Stay Away From The Neck
Characters/Pairings: Yamajima (Yamada Ryosuke x Nakajima Yuto)
Rating: G (nothing happens)
Summary: Isn’t it funny how bug bites look like hickeys? (Shh, I only learnt what that was recently ^-^;;) And why BEST decides that keeping Yuto and Yamada together is the smartest choice.
When Yuto walked into the studio, quiet and dejected, JUMP (or rather, the majority of the members of JUMP that were present) glanced around, confused. When Yuto plonked himself into a chair with a small sigh, without attempting to join either of the clusters of conversations even once, confusion turned to mild concern. Ten minutes later, when Yamada wandered in distracted, dishevelled, and sleepy, BEST’s mild concern developed into full out concern, but they felt as if light had been shed on the confusion. When Chinen finally looked up from poking Yuyan a few minutes later, and Keito began to pay attention to the relative silence of the room instead of talking to Ryutaro, their eyes both lingered on Yamada, where he had curled up on the couch next to a sleeping Daiki. Or more specifically, they lingered on where Yamada’s sweater was slipping off his shoulders, revealing a black tank top and a good amount of skin.
Ryutaro didn’t get it. Yabu patted him on the head and said he’d understand in a couple of years.
“You ask,” someone whispered.
“No, you do it.”
“Eh, get Hikaru to do it.”
“Nope! Don’t wanna!” Hikaru’s voice went up an octave. Yabu snorted.
A loud sigh from the side of the room growing mushrooms silenced the hushed discussion. All eyes followed Yuto as he said an unenthusiastic “good morning” and “I’m going to the bathroom” and walked out.
More silence. More whispering.
Ryutaro went up to Yamada. “Hey, Yamachan, is that a hickey?” Yamada blearily rubbed his eyes and blinked at the thirteen year old. “A what…? Oh, this?” Takaki slapped his forehead. Chinen smiled. Yamada’s fingers went to the red bump on the pale form of his collarbone. “Bug bite.” Pause. “Wait, Ryutaro, how-”
“Chinen, what’s a ‘hickey’?”
“Chinen!” Yabu stood, indignant. “Don’t tell people to ask about things they don’t even know about!”
Chinen’s smile, if possible, grew cuter. “It’s fine, isn’t it? Since it isn’t, anyways!”
After a moment, JUMP nodded and agreed.
“Then…you’re not cheating on Yuto?”
After Yamada’s face had returned to a pinker version of its normal shade (as opposed to a cross between a beet and a tomato, it was closer to an unripe strawberry), someone finally thought to ask about Yuto.
The opportunity didn’t come up until after the photo shoot session. As Yuto pulled off his shirt in the dressing room, he told them. “Ah, it’s just that, this morning…Raiya called me annoying, and pushed me out of the bed.”
Or rather, that was what he tried to say. Halfway through the sentence, he caught a glimpse of Yamada’s bare chest - specifically, his marked up collar bone, and spent the next five minutes gaping like a goldfish, before Daiki (who had finally gotten the truth out of Keito despite Inoo’s best attempts) cleared the situation up.
That was when JUMP decided that they never wanted to know what would happen if Yamada actually cheated on Yuto, and that they’d try and keep the two together at all costs.
Ryutaro still didn’t get it.
A/N: lol. Some of you guys on my f-list (...if you even read this) would get this. So back in...October? Me + Family went up to a friend's cottage, and even though fall has really few bugs...I had the unfortunate luck of being the only one to be bitten, on the back of my neck. I spent the next week asking A) What the heck is a 'hickey' and B) No it's not a 'hickey', it's a bug bite!
