the number you wish to call is out of service area. Please leave a message at the tone
He is stand still leaning on a cold wall of their rehearshal room, looking at his phone silently. It's been a thousand times when he tries to call the older boy but in vain. He just stare at his phone for a good couple of second until he decide to leave a message.
"Yo," he greet on the phone. "Look... why don't you pick up my phone? Are you mad at me? If that's the reason. I'm sorry... I.. don't know what to say, I just... I miss you so much, Daigo. I miss you." Then he press the end call button.
They have been seperated for too long now he is now losing the track of his beloved one, the last time he remember that the latter has constant rehearshal for his upcoming christmas show. So he understand very much how busy the older guy would be, he is not idle himself, he has to juggle between one work and another in one swish of a hand. Maybe that's the reason they rarely contact each other. Not to mention his double agent activity as both kansai and tokyo junior has press him to his limit. He just need the way out. In this kind of time he need the latter.
But the other has another plan to do, one of which is ignoring the younger's call, not that he didn't notice that the skinny boy had been trying to contact him at least trice a day, but he simply don't find any intention on picking up the call and talk to him. It's not because he's an ignorant person, he is indeed a caring, loving, and reliable person. It just that picking up his call will make him feel feelings, the feelings of bitterness, the feeling of frustration, by the fact that the boy has been taken away from him.
It is a mere jealousy, the feeling that caught the older off guard. The one that use to be by his side, that use to work together, that use to share the dream together with him now living his own dream, while he is left there, he is in a condition when talking to him the very least will be the best way,at least for him.

" You mean this one?" He asked the older, waving the bracelet.
The older just nod while focusing on his meal.
"Moou, you get this from the gacha macchine again?" The younger complain, walking back to the dinning table.
"Do I look like someone who play that kid's game?" The older answered.
"Who would know," he complain, putting the bracelet beside his plate and resume his meals.
"He came here last night." The other continue.
"Who?"
"Your boyfriend."

"Oy."
"Then why?"
"I have reasons, okay."
"Oh. so this reason is more important than your 4 years of relationship?" The older said while sipping his glass of juice, then getting up to put his uttensils on the sink. "if it's worth it, just do whatever you want." He added, taking his bag from the chair. "I go first,Mom." He yelled his permission, then continue to his baby brother. "Think about it, brother."

" I know, I'm sorry, "
" Go join the other. Oy Koji, go teach him the new steps, I don't like repeating myself to a tardy."
"Hai wakatta," Koji said, then running to where Daigo is standing.
" Why are you late?"
" Nothing." The younger answer while putting his bag down.
"Nothing, you said," Koji sigh.

" So you just gonna stare at the bracelet and do nothing about it?" Daigo was sitting on the living room couch observing the bracelet absent-mindedly when his brother shows up, shoving him away a little and fit himself beside him turning the tv on.
"Huh?" The younger said.
" Don't 'huh' me. You still haven't contact him, aren't you." The older answer with eyes fixated on the television.
"Why should I contact him?"
" Because it's boring to see you all gloomy and sad sitting in the living room staring at an inanimate object. It ruin the atmosphere."
" Then don't bother joining me here."
" This is my house too you know, and I don't like people ruining my atmosphere. Just fucking call him, why is it so hard. You are close right?"
"We were, Brother, we were."
His brother just kick him off the couch. "Don't sit here with me until you finish your bussiness with that we-were-supose-to-be-close buddy of yours."
Daigo click his tounge in annoyance as he rub his butt. Walking his way up to his room.
He then pick his cellphone from the bedside table, then staring at the screen, thinking intensely of whether he should or should not call the younger.
Then the cellphone rang, Daigo was so shock he drop it to the floor.
"Yabai," he said as he pick up the cellphone from the floor.

Daigo hold his bolster so thightly burrying his head in it. His heart never stop beating so fast.
"Nande?" He asked himself, why did the butterfly keep flying inside his stomach everytime he talk to the younger boy?
Why can't he keep calm when he heard his voice. Ren was changing so much, the lanky dark-skinned boy now has grown up to an undeniably handsome gentleman.
And without himself realising it, the transformation makes his heart racing in excitement.

"Because you are so noisy, you've been changing the clothes since 2 hour ago and it such a mess."
"That's not your bussiness," Daigo said while pushing his brother out of his room.
"Just admit it brother, you like him, right, this Nagase?"
"Huuhhh??!"
The older guy chuckled. "Hai hai, have fun with your date." He then leave his brother alone.
"Huuuhh? Me? I like Nagase? Dont be kidding me??!! Haha. And IT'S NOT A DATE!!!"

"I'll tell him."
"Hmm?"
"I'll tell him properly how much I love him."
"Ah sooo. Jya, good luck!"
Hang up the phone. Ren observing himself on the mirror.
"Daigo," he cleared his throat. "Would you be my lover?" He recite. "Wait, that's too corny, let me do this one more time.errhm.My Daigo... ah, why do I call him 'my' he's not mine already,baka, let's try again."

"Yo!"
"Oso!"
"Eh?"

"Have you eat your breakfast?" The younger ask as they wait in line for the rollercoster.
"Huh? What kind of question is that?" Daigo said
"Sorry, I was just nervous." Ren said scratching his head.
"What for? We've been together for 4 years why do you have to be nervous around me?"
"Eh, you are right." And then they fell on silence.

"Eh?" Ren stop his way again and turn his head to the older.
"So you just gonna kiss me and that's it?" Daigo said heartfeelingly.
"Eh?"
"Umae wa baka kai?" The older said again and walk ahead of the younger. but was stoped by the younger's hand on his.
"chotto matte."
Daigo turn his head.
"What?"
Ren approach him again, "I'll kiss you properly this time," he said taking the older's plump lips on his one more time. Daigo can't do anything but kiss him back.
They part away and panted, the younger put his forehead againts the other and whispered.
"I love you, Daigo." He rub the older's cheek with his thumb and continue, "I love you so much. never ever avoid me ever again."
Daigo lean in and captured the younger lips again.

"But we're not in one unit now," Daigo sigh, looking down.
"So? It wouldn't change the fact that I love to be with you more than I'm with anyone else."
"Haha,"
"I'm serious, so stop matchmaking me in the magazine interview with anyone else, because I'm yours, okay."
Daigo smiled bitterly as a tear drop start rolling at the corner of his eyes.
"You are mine, Ren, you are mine."
