Yabu-thon... It’s a Yabu birthday dedication fic :D and a Special chapter from Daily Night Phone Calls. I was supposed to do a fic based on one of their “Skype” conversations, but looking through the Yabu-thon, this caught my attention ^^, because I realized that Yabu and Inoo still didn’t confess to one another XP so here you go~ hope you enjoy this special :) Happy Birthday Yabu!!
Those who haven't read the Daily Night Phone Calls, go
here.
He couldn’t sleep again. The boy just got off his daily conversation with his lover but something still doesn’t seem right~ or rather, something is missing. Staring at the ceiling, he remembers the last part of their conversation.
“Hang up already, you have to go to Meiji early tomorrow right?”
The other laughed, “Ok ok, I’ll hung up then.”
He smiled. “Good night.”
A small pause “Ok, good night.”
Something… is… really missing.
“Ahh-”
~X~O~X~O~
“Of course you SHOULD tell him what you feel. How would he know it if you haven’t told him yet?” Shoon rolled his eyes when he told him what was bothering him the previous night.
“Of course he knows…”
“How?”
“I hug him? And… kiss him” he whispered.
“So? Friends do that all the time.”
Yabu was about to open his mouth when Shoon pointed at him. “But I don’t really know how to tell it to him.”
Shoon stared at him, “Dude, just tell him you love him period. What’s so hard telling that?!”
“It’s not that easy to do it, and you know that!”
“Oh come on Yabu, all those things you’ve been doing to him, he does it to you right?! So clearly, he feels the same way. You’re such a chicken sometimes.” Shoon sighed. “Look, saying it directly isn’t the only way you know.” He threw a grin at Yabu before standing up. “You get what I mean, now I have to go~ practice starts in 10 minutes” He waved at Yabu before leaving the dressing room.
I.
He was doing paper works the manager asked him but he couldn’t concentrate at all. He took a sip of his juice before ‘trying’ to focus on his work. Later, he then realized that he was doing letterings on a blank sheet of paper. He was doing the heart shape when,
“Takaki, I will KILL YOU!!!” He hard Daiki yelled at the older one from outside the room.
Takaki then came in running toward him hiding behind him “Yabu, save me”
“You can’t escape me, especially not when you ate all of my chocolates!” Daiki followed, bumping into the table.
“Oh sh-” Yabu exclaimed as the juice spilled all over the table.
He only managed to salvage the documents he was doing and not the letter.
II.
Yabu sighed for the nth time. “What will I do now?” He said to himself, not noticing Chinen sneak up behind him.
“Is everything okay, Yabu-kun?”
Yabu almost jumped, luckily he was sitting at the couch “Yeah, don’t worry about it” He smiled at the younger one. “You need something?”
“I’m having trouble with calligraphy and we have an assignment due tomorrow” Chinen pouted which made him more irresistible to the older one.
“My skills are a bit rusty but I guess I can still help you” Yabu ruffled the younger’s hair before proceeding to the table where Ryutaro prepared the things needed.
“You’ve got some nice paper here” Yabu said as he picked one of the scented papers.
“Ryutaro picked it for me” Chinen said cheerfully, looking at the youngest member.
“So what do you want me to write?” the eldest smiled.
Chinen blushed “uhmm this” whispering to Yabu what he wanted the older one to write.
Yabu nodded in approval as he started to write it gracefully. He finished it perfectly and gave it to Chinen. ‘Maybe I should write one too’ He thought as he grabbed another paper.
君。。。ことが。。 (I love~) but before he could finish it, a ball landed perfectly on the table, spilling the bottle of ink Yabu was using to the papers and on what he was doing.
“HOW MANY TIMES TO I HAVE TO REPEAT THAT PLAYING SOCCER ISN’T ALLOWED INSIDE HIKARU?!!!” Yabu shouted at the top of his lungs.
III.
He decided to try calligraphy again so he went to the bookstore to buy things needed for calligraphy plus the rose-scented paper like the one Ryutaro brought for Chinen.
He wrote it inside the library to prevent any more accidents.
君ことが好き。。。
Again, he wrote it with grace and perfection, this time with cherry blossoms drawn onto it. He smiled “finally, I’ve finished it” He said with pride as he looked at his work while he let the ink dry.
When the ink was dry, he placed it on the pocket inside his jacket “This should be safe here”
~X~O~X~O~
“Mom, where’s my jacket?” He asked the next day when he noticed his jacket missing from his coat hanger.
“I laundered it already.”
“Thanks a lot” he said plainly.

“What are you doing?” Yamada asked him curiously as he snatched the folded, purple-coloured paper on Yabu’s hands.
Yabu tried to get it back, but the moment he did, Yamada dodged him. “Where did you get this? It has a nice design.”
“Of course it has, it’s an origami paper I stole from my 5-year-old cousin, now give it back”
“No. Can I have it, please?” Yamada grinned. ‘Takaki would love this’
“Why?”
“Aww come on, it’s not as if you actually have someone to give this “I love you” note to” Yamada smiled deviously “Thank you very much Yabu-mama” he winked at the stunned Yabu who saw Inoo staring at him.
Yabu opened his mouth but no words came out. Inoo left the room.
V.
The younger one didn’t answer his phone calls no matter how many times he tried to. What’s worse is, the younger one would depart for England the next day.
~X~O~X~O~
“If you are looking for the blue card you bought, I think you left it together with the paperwork you were doing yesterday” Keito said as the older one rummaged through his whole bag, looking for it.
“Oh, we’ll be late for the train going back to Tokyo, we must go now” Yuto pointed out.
Yabu looked at the rest of the members who was staring at him and at Inoo. Sighing, he approached Inoo who was glaring at him, not saying anything. He pulled Inoo closer to him into a somewhat friendly hug. “I love you, so hurry back to me” he whispered. He kissed the younger one on the lips; Takaki and Daiki blocking Ryutaro and Chinen’s sight with their hands. “I love you too” Inoo whispered back. “Don’t even think about cheating on me” with that, he waved good bye to all of them.
Smiling, Yabu watched his lover disappear with the crowed. “See you at skype later” he whispered to himself.

Notes:
LOL @ the last part. Hahaha skype is really fun ^^,
Thei11: hope you like it. It’s not really what you suggested me to do, but this is for yah dear :)
Ohh and for the Japanese writing.. here’s the translation “Kimi koto ga suki” (I love you) kimi means “you” and of course the suki is “love” but I hope you get the part when Yabu didn’t finish writing it, it only read “kimi koto ga” with a rough translation of “you are my….” ^^,
