2. Gift
His footsteps echoed around the empty hallway as he clutched a small book in his hand. He was smiling goofily. Of course he’s smiling that way because his destination is NEWS’ dressroom, Tegoshi’s there after all. He arrived at the door and took liberty to turn the knob slowly and letting himself in. And there’s no one except Tegoshi like he expected to be. Of course, everyone was busy with themselves right now. Thanks to any spiritual souls to make him a smart boy, that way he can predict when dressroom will empty or not, or who will be inside dressroom at this very time considering every member schedules.
There Tegoshi was sitting on a chair in front of his dresser. For some reason he seemed pretty pre-occupied so Shige slowly approached him in attempts to frighten him. He grinned mischievously. He was going to enjoy the look on his face.
Shige slowly bent down and blew softly on Tegoshi’s ear. It instantly sent shiver’s on his spine causing him to shriek and jump up from his seat. Tegoshi frowned instantly when he faced with the unusually prankster.
“Very funny.”
Shige grinned in an attempt to suppress his laughter, unfortunately he failed, “Sorry about that.”
Tegoshi crossed his arms and sat down, “You really scared me there. And you doing prank like this was so unusual, you know?”
Shige stood beside Tegoshi and chuckled, “That’s because you were so pre-occupied. You probably didn’t hear me get in.”
Tegoshi’s eyes widened slightly to Shige’s statement, and then he stared at his reflection. He bowed down slightly and rested his chin on his arms on dress table.
“So, what’s bothering you?”
“Should I cut my hair?” Tegoshi asked as he raised two fingers and moved them like they were scissors. Tegoshi caught the shock in Shige’s eyes and smiled slightly.
Shige raised a brow in disagreement, “Why would you want to do that? Your hair is too short already”
“Because it’s boring.”
Shige’s eyes sparked in amusement and continued to stare at their reflection as they spoke, “What is?”
Tegoshi raised his hand and playfully twirled his light brown hair with his fingers, “To be honest I don’t want to cut my hair either. I just thought I should try something new or different that’s all.” he let out an audible sigh as he leaned back on the chair, “It must be very funny hearing this from me. You’re probably thinking I’m vain.” he said as he playfully pokes Shige on his sides.
Shige shook his head and smiled, “Nope. It’s normal”
He knows what Tegoshi’s going through. Of course he should. For someone to be idol and public figure, he had to have an image alias going through different changes like changing his hairstyle, thinking up of different names, socialize with other artist, plus he often moving around from one place to another when he was kid, not to mention going through a lot of fashion statements he KNOWS very well what it means to be bored.
Fashion statements? Hmm…
Shige brushed his chin in thinking, his eyebrow was attached and Tegoshi thought it was an amusing thing to see.
“Wait here.” He patted Tegoshi on the head and left the book he was holding earlier on the table. He wasn’t given a chance to ask him because he left quickly to the dance studio where he put his bag. Tegoshi was left to his thoughts wondering what Shige would bring back with him.
When Shige back, he just smirked and turned Tegoshi around by the shoulder letting him face the mirror, “This one’s special so it wasn’t easy to find.”
“Hm?” Tegoshi blinked at their reflection, “What is it?”
“Close your eyes.”
Tegoshi stared at him with suspicion but Shige just covered them with his hand. “Just close them alright?” Tegoshi eagerly nodded. He removed his hand and waved it around in front of Tegoshi’s eyes just to make sure. When he was completely sure that his eyes are closed, he gently inserted something on one side of Tegoshi’s ear followed by their lock.
“Earring? Is it like the ones you’re wearing?”
“Nope, like I said it’s special.” Shige smiled in satisfaction, “You can open your eyes now.”
Tegoshi had to blink several times before he could clearly focus on his reflection. When his vision concentrated on his ears his eyes sparkled in awe.
“They’re beautiful!” he leaned forward as he admired the tiny, circular, jade earrings on his ear. They twinkled as small rays of sunlight reflected the beauty of its color.
It fits Tegoshi much better than when Shige wore them before. Come to think of it Shige couldn't quite decipher how he got the earrings. Either way he was glad he kept it. It’s a small change on Tegoahi’s appearance but, it’s done quite a lot. Shige suppressed the small blush on his cheeks as he tried to act cool, “It’s yours now.”
“Really?”
Shige failed quite miserably as he looked away, “Why not? Besides it looks a lot better on you than it does on me.”
Tegoshi noticed he was failing and she took the chance to mock him, it’s payback for scaring him earlier, “If it doesn’t look good on you why did you get it in the first place?”
Shige was caught off guard and he was a little irritated. He faced Tegoshi’s reflection instead, “Who cares!? Just promise me you’ll wear it so you won’t get bored and you won’t try anything rash like cutting your hair alright?”
Tegoshi laughed at the expression on Shige’s face, he was fuming pretty childishly, “Hai, hai!”

“Yamapi, Ryo-chan, here’s your coffee.” Tegoshi held out mugs to Yamapi and Ryo who sit side by side, laying their head on each other due tiredness.
“Arigatou Tegoshi!” Yamapi straighten his sit and took his mug of coffee with delight.
“Hm? Tegoshi, something’s different about you today…” Ryo stated, noticed something as he took sip on the coffee.
“Ryo’s right…Something’s different” Yamapi joined.
The youngest member just smiled, “You think so?”
Yamapi tapped his fingers on his chin thoughtfully, “It’s strange but I think you’re blooming! Did something happen?”
“Hmmm? Did you try something new?” Ryo asked curiously.
Tegoshi’s deep browns orbs just sparkled and that’s when Yamapi noticed that something sparkled along with it. He failed to note what it was and where it came from.
“Nothing. It’s just something special.”
