Chapter 1
Ueda Tatsuya, the U in KAT-TUN, was on his way into the Johnny’s Entertainment building for another day filled with dance practice. Today he was in a particularly good mood, humming to the song Summer time by NewS. He had been humming it ever since he woke up this morning by the sunlight shining in through his bedroom window. A smile had sneaked upon his face as he woke up and had stayed there ever since. He felt like this was just one of these days when everything will be going great. One of these days when you feel like the whole world is smiling at and with you.
He was just about to open the door to the building, when he noticed something that stroked him as rather odd. Behind a bench not that far away from where he was standing someone was kneeled down, almost as if hiding from something. The curiosity got the best of him and he let go of the door handle and slowly walked over to the bench.
“What are you doing?” He asked looking behind the bench only to realize that it was the one and only Nishikido Ryo who was sitting there.
“Ssh!” Ryo said grabbing a hold of Ueda’s arm and pulled him down beside him, not even bothering to look at the man. “Be quiet or they’ll find me”
“Who?” Ueda asked now getting even more curious; who could it be that he was hiding from…
“Bakanishi and Yamapi” Ryo answered still not aware of who the man next to him was as he was busy looking out for his best friends. “I lost a bet to those two, and now I have to take the consequences. But I figured that if I manage to stay out of their sight all day they might forget all about it” he explained to Ueda without being asked about it.
“Not even Jin is as baka as that, he’ll never forget something that fast, especially not winning a bet” Ueda said as a matter of fact. “Any way if you don’t mind asking, what was the bet about?”
“It was about…” Ryo started but stopped as soon as he saw Yamapi, Jin and Kame walking up to the building. Jin had a firm arm around Kames shoulder, and they were all laughing along to something that one of them obviously had said just moments ago. Suddenly Kame stopped walking and pointed towards the bench while saying something to the other two.
“Shit, we better run” Ryo said grabbing a hold of Ueda’s arm, still not being aware of whom he was, and pulling him with him as he started to run away. Ueda had no other choice but to follow as Ryo ran down the street as if running for his life. Which he probably did Ueda figured since he knew that Jin and Yamapi’s idiotism sometimes could make you wish you were dead. Ueda looked over his shoulder and noticed that no one was following them but Ryo still didn’t stop running.
They ran for a good few minute until Ryo dragged him with him on to a bus. He paid for them both not caring where the bus was heading.
“Uh, Nishikido-kun, where are we going?” Ueda asked as they sat down, and it was first now that Ryo realized who his company was.
“Princess?” Ryo asked looking shocked at the man next to him.
“Uh, yeah. But I would like it better if you called me Ueda-kun” Ueda answered calmly as the bus started to drove off.
“What are you doing here?” Ryo asked ignoring Ueda’s comment.
“You dragged me along with you. Didn’t you realize it was me?” Ueda asked surprised, sure he had been shocked that Ryo had dragged him along since they weren’t exactly the best of friends. But he had at least thought that Ryo had realized that it was him he had taken with him.
“Of course I didn’t or I wouldn’t have dragged you along with me” Ryo snorted and turned his head around looking out through the window. “And to answer your first question, I don’t really know where we’re going”
“You don’t know? You just jumped onto the first bus you saw?” Ueda asked in disbelief. “What if we end up in some kind of creepy ghost town?”
“Calm down fairy princess, where is your sense for adventure?” Ryo said glancing at Ueda from over his shoulder. Ueda just crossed his arm in front of his chest and glared at Ryo. This day was definitely not going to be as good as it had first promised him in the morning.
They had been on the bus for about fifteen minutes when Ueda’s phone started buzzing. He sighed when he saw who it was before answering.
“Moshi Moshi?” He answered being prepared for the worst.
“Tat-chan, it is Kame” the voice on the other end said. “Where are you?”
“Uh… “ How should he explain to his friend that he currently was sitting on a bus next to Nishikido Ryo and not knowing where the bus was headed. “Well… I’m…”
“Are you with Ryo-san?” Kame asked surprising Ueda by it.
“How did you know?” Ueda asked throwing a glance towards Nishikido who still was looking out through the window but now with his earphones in listening to some music.
“So you are?” Kame inquired “And it was quite easy to guess since Yamapi, Jin and I saw you two running away as if you had some kind of monster chasing you”
“Uh, well yeah I guess we were.” Ueda chuckled nervously. “I mean at least Nishikido had, he was running away from Jin and Yamapi and he just dragged me along. He wasn’t even aware that it was me.”
“I see” Kame chuckled too. “So where are you guys now? You are coming back to work, right? I can understand if Ryo wont but you sure must be coming back, right?”
“I’ll try too, but I don’t know when.” Ueda said carefully. “I mean Ryo dragged me onto this bus and we’re not sure of where it’s heading…”
“You are on a bus?” Kame said and Ueda could almost see how his eyes grew bigger. “And you don’t know where too? Are you crazy? Why didn’t you get off the bus?”
“Before I could it had started moving” Ueda answered. “But I’ll try my best to get back as soon as possible. Okay?”
“Okay” Kame sighed. “I’ll just tell the others that you went on an impulsive trip with Ryo”
“No, don’t tell them that or they’ll get ideas. Jin’s already thinking that the both of us have some kind of thing for each others.”
“Sorry, too late.” Kame said “The others just walked in and heard me and is now staring at me with wide eyes. Well I’ll better explain it to them. See ya and have a good time, ne?”
“I’ll try. See ya Kame” Ueda folded his phone and put it back into his bag. He threw another glance in Ryo’s direction and sighed. How in the world did he end up here with Nishikido Ryo of all people? He and Nishikido wasn’t exactly known for getting along well together, quite the opposite actually, well at least in the past. They had been enemies and hated each others, where they stood now he wasn’t quite sure since they never really talked with each other’s more than necessary and they hadn’t had a fight in a few years now. Maybe this “trip” would bring him some kind of clarity on the matter.
Another fifteen minutes later Nishikido’s phone started to ring, but he showed no sign of noticing it, so Ueda patted him carefully on the shoulder.
“What?” Ryo growled clearly annoyed that Ueda had disturbed him, but pulled his earphones out.
“Your phone” Ueda answered simply and pointed at Ryo’s bag.
“Oh, sorry” Ryo said and started searching for it. He found it soon, but to Ueda’s surprise he didn’t answer it. The phone soon got silent and he put the phone back in the bag.
“Why didn’t you answer it?” Ueda couldn’t help but ask.
“It was Yamapi and I don’t really feel like talking to him” Ryo simply answered.
“He probably called to see if you really are on a bus with me” Ueda said more to himself.
“How would he know that?” Ryo asked surprised.
“Kame called and I told him. He got pretty shocked but calmed down pretty fast, and he probably told the rest of the band, and Jin probably told Yamapi and your band as soon as he got the chance.” Ueda explained.
“Oh, great. Now Jin will never shut up about…” Ryo started but stopped halfway through the sentence.
“About the fact that we are secretly in love with each other?” Ueda continued the sentence.
“You know about that?” Ryo said eyes wide open, clearly surprised by the fact.
“Sure I do. Jin’s been on that subject with me for years now” Ueda said as he started to scratch his neck. “And I think he’s managed to convince the rest of the band as well”
“He can really get on my nerves that baka” Ryo growled.
“Yeah, but you can’t help but like him anyways” Ueda smiled and Ryo joined him in on that smile.
