Danger, Spelled K-A-R-A-O-K-E
Yuuki sat awkwardly on the long karaoke couch, very deliberately not wiggling. Normally, he’d wiggle to his heart’s content. Heck, normally he’d be sprawled all over it, or dancing and shaking maracas and probably wearing a silly wig.
He didn’t normally go to karaoke as Joe Gibken, though.
It was Shion’s idea to institute Weekly D2 Superhero Karaoke Time, which was usually a great way to relax after filming was done for the week. Today, though, when they met up outside the usual joint, Shion had been shaking and wide-eyed and possibly on the verge of tears. “Yuuki-kuuuuun,” he wailed, “I have a super super important scene next week and the director’s been mad at me all week for not being in character enough and what do I dooooooooo??”
Yuuki panicked a bit, gave him a supportive and manly arm squeeze while trying to to figure out a solution, and eventually settled on “Practice more?”
“Like… try being in character outside of filming?” Shion looked doubtful. “I mean, I get what you’re saying, but JK is so… charai. All the time.”
“We can try it now if you want, come on. Nobody but me will see you and we can see if it works for you or not,” Yuuki said, trying to sound more confident than he felt.
When they got to the room, Yuuki turned on “Heavy Rotation” first thing. “Come on, this is your party music, right? Go JK, go JK~” he cheered, hitting the tambourine.
Shion made a valiant effort, but dropped out halfway through the second chorus. “I don’t think I can do it,” he said, and flopped to the ground in despair.
“No, come on!” Yuuki said with an increased sense of desperation. “Look, I’ll do it with you! I’ll be Joe and you’ll be JK and… and whoever breaks character first has to buy dinner!”
Shion’s eyes got huge. “Really? You’ll buy me dinner if you lose? Will you buy me dessert? Will you take me to Suipara?” He clung to Yuuki’s leg and nuzzled it.
Yuuki smiled awkwardly. “Um. Sure! Anything for a bro! But only if you win.”
The rest was just a blur of being forced to sing really ridiculous songs about, like… vegetables. And fish. And sex. Lots of songs about sex. And not reacting at all because Joe wouldn’t. All while Shion bounced around wearing a rainbow afro like a badge of pride, performing song after song of AKB48’s greatest hits, choreography and all. When Yuuki was singing, trying to stay as monotone as possible, he would dance around him and say things that were stupid (“Hey pal, turn that frown upside down! No grumpy grumps allowed at a JK party! Don’t make me get out my glitter wand!”) or suggestive (“Tell me, is my school uniform getting in the way?” after a particularly spirited rendition of “Seifuku ga Jama o Suru”) or both. (“Hey baby, you can water my radish ANY DAY.”)
By the time their session was almost over, Yuuki fully suspected that Shion had made the whole angry director thing up in order to punish him for some trivial wrongdoing, like the time last week when he had accidentally stepped on his foot or something. He was absolutely shameless and doing everything he possibly could to get a reaction. Honestly, Yuuki went back to bed most mornings after Gokaiger instead of watching Fourze, but from what he had seen of it, he didn’t see how there was any problem with Shion’s acting now. And that worried him, because that meant he wasn’t going to lose. Shion needed to beat him if he wanted him to take him to Suipara, and JK would do anything it took to get a reaction, and there was just about nothing Joe would react to in any way other than with a blank stare, an eyebrow raise, or a smirk, none of which had satisfied Shion so far. Which basically meant bad things were going to happen.
Shion turned on 2NE1’s “Kiss” and pushed Yuuki to the front of the room. “Go, Joe, this is your song, baby~” he said, wiggling his eyebrows in an entirely unnecessary way. There was still time for one more song afterwards, so Yuuki thought it was meant to annoy him and get him to lower his guard, since presumably Shion knew how much he liked K-Pop and how he would really like to sing that song properly rather than in a mumbled monotone, but he was wrong. It was the decisive blow.
“I just wanna kiss,” he muttered, slightly out of time with the music, which apparently was the cue for Shion to tackle him to the ground, say “Oh, honey, all you had to do was ask,” in his smarmiest voice, and plant a big wet smooch directly on his lips.
Which would have been fine if he were Joe Gibken. Joe Gibken had been taught discipline by the Imperial Zangyack Army. Joe Gibken had been robbed of his beloved senpai by said army and was therefore for the most part emotionally scarred and unwilling to pursue romance or lust in any way, shape, or form. Joe Gibken did not date high schoolers, especially ones that wore too many colors all at the same time.
But he was not Joe Gibken. He was Yamada Yuuki, and when Yamada Yuuki was kissed by a cute boy, he kissed him back, goddammit.
As it turned out, JK did not kiss boys for any reason other than to make them uncomfortable.
But Tsuchiya Shion did.
