#1 Patience; ability to tolerate trying circumstances.
(TegoShige)
"OK, just do it but be gentle!"
Shige cursed under his breath. He swore he said those words a little while ago when he saw the younger man on the foot of his bed with that all-too-familiar selfish pout on his lips.
"Shige, you're really....boring!" Tegoshi comments later on after a pillow fight where in Shige never really exerted much effort to win.
It took Shige three more deep breaths to calm himself and stop his instinct to lash at the younger man and yell at him for disturbing him at this time of the night.
"I'm tired, Tegoshi. Could you please go back to your own room now?"
Damn. That. Pout.
"Shige doesn't want to play with me anymore," Tegoshi whined, soft tears forming in his brown eyes.
Ohgad. Are you a kid?
Shige cleared his throat. "It's not like that, Tegoshi... You're just so full of energy and I...er... I need to rest. Go bother the other members instead."
Tegoshi began to cry at this. "Shige hates me!!"
Oh heck, this boy is surely testing my patience... and that's where I'm the worse at.
Coughing lightly, Shige sat up and pulled the crying Tegoshi closer in a hug to stop the boy from crying. "Now... I don't hate you, Tegoshi."
"B-but... You don't want me here,"
Shige feigned innocence. "Did I say that?? Come on, our pillow fight and wrestling isn't over yet."
With these words, Tegoshi instantly recovered and a knowing smile appeared on his face which in turn made Shige regret his decision to make the boy feel better. His eyes grew big as Tegoshi prepared to aunch himself at him.
"Damn it!! I take whatever I said back! Tegoshiiiiii! I told you, I'm tired!!!... Oeiii, are you even listening?!?!"
#2 Humility; absence of pride.
(RyoPi)
Nishikido Ryo has always been famous for his poison tongue, frank remarks and criticisms, amazingly sexy voice, being a 'manly' man and well―his pride. The said things seems to absolutely fit the one and only Sexy Osaka Man.
Seems is the word.
That is why in a bright Sunday morning, YamaPi woke up from his sleep only to hear a pissed off Ryo muttering a train of colorful curses. He raised a brow in question and was again answered with another shower of profane language.
"What's the matter?" YamaPi asked sleepily.
"I should kill you." Ryo replied darkly.
YamaPi began to feel uneasy as he finally remembers what Ryo is mad about. "Didn't you like it?"
Ryo reddened at this while YamaPi just got confused whether it is because he's mad or because he's embarrassed about that 'thing'. "Damn you Yamashita! Do you think a Sexy Osakan like me would enjoy... would enjoy being the uke?!?"
"Come one Ryo-chan, you have to learn to accept things the way they are! You like it too, don't you? Although I think I've put some real damage to your pride..."
Ryo blushed even harder as YamaPi's words hit the bull's eye. He quickly averted his eyes from his boyfriend before disappearing into the sitting room muttering something about 'idiots who like to play reverse roles when they feel like it'.
#3 Loyalty; a feeling of devotion to somebody.
(KoyaShige)
They say that love can't be measured by time. Sometimes it just happens so suddenly and at times, it takes a long time to develop. It was both for their case though.
Shige accepted the hand offered in front of him. He then stood and came face to face with Koyama―smiling to himself at the thought that even when he goes blind, he'll surely recognize Koyama's hand from the others. Hell, how could he not? They'd been together for years―although he can't say that they'd been in love that long.
For how long then? Shige couldn't answer. It just happened. And he knew―as he threw a sideway glance at Koyama―that in the future, they will still be together. They've managed to stay loyal to each other without even noticing it and Shige is ready to bet his left foot that it would continue on just like that. Not that he has any complains on it.
He love Koyama just the same.
#4 Purity; virtue and innocence.
(TegoPi)
They drove in silence as the night stretched on. It wasn't an awkward silence though, rather, it was a silence that is soothing and calm. As the car skidded to a stop in front of Tegoshi's house, Tegoshi finally broke the long silence.
"Thanks for taking me home today, Yamashita-kun." Tegoshi said, smiling sweetly at his adored sempai.
YamaPi shrugged carelessly, not wanting to look so affected with Tegoshi's smile. "No problem, Tesshi. Besides I can't really leave you alone to go home at this time of the night..."
Tegoshi blushed hearing the concern in YamaPi's voice that the other had tried to cover up. YamaPi then turned to look at the window on his side as he heard the car's lock clicking, not wanting to see the other go.
When YamaPi felt no movement from the passenger seat, he turned to look at Tegoshi but was surprised to see Tegoshi leaning in, placing a soft, shy kiss on YamaPi's lips. It didn't last long for Tegoshi withdrew immediately leaving YamaPi yearning for more.
Tegoshi bowed, blushing furiously as he thank his smepai once again before leaving the car in a hurry. YamaPi was left speechless for a whole minute before a grin finally appeared on his face, his hand unconsciously touching his lips.
Cute, he thought. He had always wanted Tegoshi. Always... But he won't push his luck. He love the pure and childlike Tegoshi he has now. He also knew that the rest would just follow...eventually.
#5 Wisdom; accumulated learning.
(NishiKato)
It wasn't an easy task balancing work and studies―especially if your work is in the entertainment industry. So when one Kato Shigeaki manages to live up with his seemingly 24/7 work and 'Law and Order' studies, Nishikido Ryo begins to be impressed.
It wasn't long after that admiration started that the Sexy Osakan finally decided to corner the other Kansai-born member of NEWS, grinning as the other man began to sweat. "What do you want, Nishikido-kun?" Shige asked.
Ryo smiled innocently at this which did nothing to calm the other. "Well, I just want to get your opinion with some er... mathematical problems."
Shige threw him a confused look. "You study math?"
"Of course!" Ryo scoffed. "You think Sex Gods like me don't?"
Shige had to bite his lip to stop himself from replying sarcastically. "Ok, just let me hear it." He answered instead.
With this 'sign' of approval from Shige, Ryo launched himself into the other pinning the younger man to the wall. He could feel Shige shuddering at the the surprise and Ryo had to suppress his laugh to continue his 'interrogation'. "Well, I was thinking that you haven't been applying your intelligence in practical things..."
"Wha―whaddya want??" Shige's words were slurred as he tried to move his face away from Ryo's.
Ryo smirked, inching closer to the younger man. "Can you give me an answer, Mr. Prodigy?"
"Justtellmewhattheproblemis!" Shige said in a single breath.
"It's... You plus me... I can't seem to find the best answer."
Shige's eyes grew large and round as he realized what Ryo was up to.
"Then maybe we could multiply the sum to the number of nights...let's see..."
#6 Pity; feeling of sympathy.
(TegoMass, Tego????)
Nothing could ever be worse than this.
Massu knelt down and began picking up the pieces of bread that has fallen from his plate. It's no big deal, actually. Food is everywhere and you can get them whenever you want it. But now...
"Massu," Tegoshi started, laying a hand on Massu's shoulder.
"My...my food! Now, how can I eat these?!" Massu's voice cracked as he look at the pieces he took from the floor.
Tegoshi tried cheering him up. "It's just bread, Massu. Ja, let's go out and eat later ne!!! We'll eat lots and lots of bread and other food!!"
Massu turned to his partner with a serious loo on his face. "It's not fine. I don't want to eat any other bread... I want this... I want to taste this bread because Tegoshi made it."
Tegoshi could feel his cheeks bruning with Massu's words. "Here Massu, take it." Tegoshi said, holding out the piece of bread to Massu.
Massu's face brightened but a confused look crossed his face as well. "But isn't this for him?"
Tegoshi blushed. "Daijoubu yo. I could always make another one... And I want Massu to taste my work first! You've always been there for me eversince and so I want you to feel my gratitude for all of those times."
A soft, weak smile spread across Massu's face.
"Arigatou, Tegoshi", Massu replied, thinking whether this bittersweet moments would continue on forever.
I'm glad I am that important for you... Although I wish I could be that one person you love the most. To be given that piece of you because of love and not because of mere pity...
#7 Love; passionate attraction and desire.
(TegoPi)
It's not as if he'd been wanting all of this to happen. Sure, he had dreams like this in the past but that doesn't mean he really wanted to do it... Or is it really?
Feeling as if his mind would burst, YamaPi released a deep sigh and turned away with great difficulty at the sight before him―at the sight of the sleeping Tegoshi.
YamaPi tried to think of any other reasons why their innocent dinner ended in bed―specifically, his bed. Of course he had thought of telling Tegoshi in the morning that all that has happened was just a mistake but something inside him just couldn't accept that reason.
A soft moan from the younger man brought YamaPi's attention back to him. YamaPi remained silent and motionless, thinking if the other man would wake up―but alas, he did not. Instead, a tumble of words escaped those parted lips hitting YamaPi straight in his chest.
"Yamashita-kun, daisuki..."
YamaPi smiled. His questions have just been answered.

Sorry, it's all that I could do for now. They're not great but I hope you like them.
