Ryo took his apartment keys out of his back pocket and went to open the door. It was pretty late already and he was really tired. There had been lots of work for him today and he had envied his boyfriend Tatsuya so much because KAT-TUN had only had some interviews that day and Tatsuya had gone back home before lunch break. Now it was pretty late and Ryo couldn't even recall how many times they had practiced certain dance routines with Kanjani and he had also done interviews and a really annoying photo shoot in clothes that Ryo normally wouldn't wear even at home. Things like that made him seriously want to throw away everything and go right home to cuddle up under a blanket with his Tatsuya and forget everything that was related to being an idol. Coming home was the thing Ryo looked forward to all day long, mainly because Tatsuya would always treat him normal and not like an idol. Ryo smiled at himself as he once again noticed how much he was helplessly in love with his boyfriend.
He opened the door and expected to be greeted by the warm light of their apartment and Tatsuya greeting him happily as he always did, but all there was was heavy darkness surrounding him and he couldn't hear any sound from the rooms inside the apartment. Ryo slowly put on the lights and looked for Tatsuya's shoes to see if he was maybe not home, but as far as Ryo could see all his shoes were there. Though it was pretty difficult to know whether there were all of them since Tatsuya owned tons of shoes. Ryo took of his own shoes and proceeded to their living room where once more no lights were switched on. He took a careful step and almost instantly hit his feet against something. He cursed loudly and switched the lights on. There were books scattered over the floor, messily thrown away it seemed. Ryo picked up one of the books. “French for Beginners” it said. Ryo sighed. Tatsuya and his fascination for French again. But then what was wrong here?
“Tatsuya?” he called his boyfriend, but there was no answer. Ryo began to worry a little. He knew what stupid things Tatsuya did sometimes when he was mad or angry or generally unhappy. But then he saw a little light under the bedroom door and sighed. Obviously Tatsuya was at least home. He quickly opened the door to see his boyfriend cuddled deep into the blankets.
“Tatsuya!” he quickly sat down beside the small figure in the bed. “What's wrong?” He caressed his lover's short black hair lovingly.
“Nothing” Tatsuya grumbled and turned away. Ryo chuckled.
“Yeah....sure, everything is fine and you're as happy and cheerful as ever.”
Tatsuya sighed and turned around.
“Do you think I have a bad memory?”
Ryo looked into his lover's big brown eyes for a moment.
“No, I don't think so....why are you asking me that?”
Tatsuya sighed again.
“I'm trying to learn French....but I can't remember those stupid complicated words! It's so damn annoying!” he complained.
Ryo couldn't help but chuckle softly.
“But isn't it normal that you forget your vocabulary from time to time?” he asked.
“Yeah...but I forget it all the time!”
Tatsuya looked at Ryo and the other could see the frustration in his eyes.
“Shhh....” Ryo hushed him and took Tatsuya in his arms carefully. “Now we're gonna sleep and tomorrow we will see what we can do about this, all right?” he smiled softly and Tatsuya nodded somewhat tiredly.
As Ryo was lying in bed with Tatsuya snuggled up to his side he thought about how Tatsuya never let his life getting boring.

The next day Ryo of course was thinking about Tatsuya's problem. In the morning when he woke up Tatsuya was again reading all those books, trying hard to get the secrets of French language. Ryo had offered to drive both of them to work and all the way in the car Tatsuya had told him various vocabulary that he tried to remember and by now Ryo was no longer surprised that Tatsuya had a hard time remembering those words. He was rather amazed that French people managed to speak this language properly. He doubted that he himself would ever be able to do so.
“Hey, Maru!” he addressed his band mate sitting right beside him. “Do you know French?”
Maru looked at him amusedly. “I know French food!” Ryo rolled his eyes.
“I mean French...as a language.”
Maru shook his head. “Why are you asking?”
“I wonder if there's a way to make it easier for people to remember French vocabulary.” Ryo said slowly.
“Oh is Tatsuya learning again?” Maru smiled. “It's brave of him! I heard French is quite difficult!”
“He is learning, but I think he's stuck...he has a hard time remembering the words.” Ryo sighed. “I wish I could make it easier for him!”
“Awwwww!” Yasu had obviously listened to what they were saying. “Ryo is being caring again!”
Ryo blushed slightly and slapped Yasu on the head. Yasu's whine went unknown since everybody was laughing at embarrassed Ryo.
“Anyways” Maru was back to half-serious first. “I have a friend, who learned Italian some years ago and I think he had a quite good trick to remember words. Maybe this could help Tat-chan, too!”
After Ryo had listened to Maru's idea he was sure that this would work for Tatsuya, too!

That evening Tatsuya came back home pretty late. He had had dinner with Kame and this always took quite long. He sighed as he took off his shoes and got up again, stretching his back properly as he saw a little post-it paper with “porte” written on it sticking to the door. Tatsuya blinked confusedly. Somehow he remembered that word. He carefully opened the door and looked at the table right in front of him. Here he could see a little paper with “table” written on it.
“Oh Tat-chan, you're home!” Ryo smiled at him and softly pecked his lips.
“Ryo!” Tatsuya smiled. As he looked around, he could see those little papers attached to all parts of the furniture.
“What's this?” he asked.
Ryo smiled even more. “This is going to help you remember your vocabulary!” Ryo looked at Tatsuya proudly. “I wrote the French words for all those things on those papers! Like this you will see them every day and so you're gonna remember the words easily!”
“Awwww Ryo's so smart!” Tatsuya exclaimed and hugged his lover tightly.
“I know I am!” Ryo said and kissed Tatsuya hungrily.
“Maybe you could...reward me a little for being smart like this?” he whispered in Tatsuya's ear and gripped his ass firmly, something that Tatsuya normally couldn't resist at all.
“Uhmm...later, okay Ryo?” Tatsuya smiled happily. “I first want to try out if this works!”
He quickly went to get his books and look for all those paper snippets Ryo had made for him, leaving a sulking Ryo behind.
