--> Ueda's text message
--> Ryo's text message
*****
I'm looking for a lover not a friend
Somebody who can be there when I need someone to talk to
I'm looking for someone who won't pretend
Somebody not afraid to say the way they feel about you
Ryo watched as the rest of Kanjani8 members were talking and laughing. He didn’t say anything, not even a single word since the last 15 minutes when Kanjani8 took a break from their rehearsal. He was just watching and sometimes threw a smile at stupid jokes Yoko made. Because though he was here, his mind was flying all the way to Tokyo; to a certain someone who had been in his head for the past two weeks, a certain someone from KAT-TUN, a certain someone named Ueda Tatsuya.
His thought travelled back to the last 2 weeks incident, when he was walking out of jimusho after practice with NEWS and Ueda cornered him, confessed his love to Ryo. It was a big shock to Ryo to have the love confession from Ueda, the person that he least expected to get such confession from. He didn’t say anything to Ueda nor replied to his confession. He stared at Ueda for good 5 minutes and walked away without even accepting or rejecting the confession. It was confusing for Ryo. He couldn’t think straight and wasn’t in a right state to say anything to Ueda at that moment. Now that he thought of it, Ueda was dead serious about it. Judging from the way he confessed and the way he looked at Ryo, Ueda really meant every word he told Ryo.
And I'm looking for someone who understands how I feel,
Someone who can keep it real and who knows the way
The way I like to have it my way
And I'm looking for someone who takes me there,
Wants to share, shows he cares
Thinkin your the one that I've been waiting for
The beep on his phone surprised Ryo a bit because he was so lost in his deep thought. He pulled out the phone from his pocket and flipped it open. A text message from Ueda.
To: Nishikido-san
From: Ueda
Subject: Hai? ^_^
How are you doing? It’s been 2 days since you’re in Osaka. I wonder when I can get to see you again. By the way, I wish you the best of luck. Do your best in everything you do but don’t overdo it ‘kay. With the big ego of yours, I knew you wanted the best but please take care of yourself too. Eat well, sleep well, and get an enough rest. Take care love~
Ryo smiled widely. Ueda had never failed to text him, at least 5 times per day and each contained his concern and love for Ryo. The first time he got the text from Ueda was a day after the confession and Ryo really wanted to kill anyone who gave his number to Ueda. But day by day, he realized that he wanted those messages to come into his inbox more than anything now. He had always been waiting for them though he had never replied even once. They were really simple messages from Ueda but somehow they were the one who kept him alive through the hard day.
“Again, Ryo-chan?” Yoko was suddenly sitting too close and Ryo had to hide his phone behind his back when Yoko tried to steal a look at it. “Who is the one that always send you text messages? Are they good, the messages?” Ryo raised his eyebrow.
“You always have this goofy smile on your face and I can see those weird sparks around you every time you read the texts” Yoko made a stupid joke again and this time Ryo laughed, shoving Yoko away. Yeah, maybe the texts were good. And Ryo liked them; every word and every sentence.
Is it you? Is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?
Later that night, Ryo was already in his bed and staring at his phone nervously. Ryo was beyond tired; with the practice and photo shoots he had with Kanjani8 today, he really wanted to sleep. But he seemed can’t close his eyes. Something was bothering him and it had to do with none other than Ueda Tatsuya. Ueda was surprisingly late in sending him a text tonight, Ryo wondered why. He was worried something might have happened to KAT-TUN princess that he was unable to send him text tonight. He was about to call Jin when his phone beeping indicating that he got a new text message. He quickly opened it.
To: Nishikido-san
From: Ueda
Subject: Hello
Am I late? Are you already asleep? Yeah, I know I’m late tonight, can’t help it. All these new dance moves really ate us out. I thought I might falling asleep without sending you a text :’( but anyway, have a nice sleep and do your best again for tomorrow. Oyasuminasai love (^_^)
Ryo felt like crying. He didn’t know why but receiving this text from Ueda was a big relief to Ryo. At least he knew Ueda was fine, nothing bad happened to that pretty guy and the anxiety that he had before flew away. He clenched the phone tightly and re-read the text again. Without he realized it, he already pressed the reply button on it.
To: Ueda Tatsuya
From: The Sexy Osakan
Subject: Hello back
No, but I almost fall asleep. Don’t worry; I’ll surely have a nice sleep tonight. You just take a good care of yourself. I’ll be back to Tokyo the day after tomorrow and by that time; I want you to master those new moves already. Don’t humiliate your group any further. Oyasumi.
Sent. Ryo leaned against the head-bed and stared at his phone. It beeped again.
To: Nishikido-san
From: Ueda
Subject: (^_____^)
I will! Then, I’ll see you the day after tomorrow. Nite love~
I'm looking for someone to share my pain (Uh)
Someone who I can run to, who would stay with me when it rains
Someone who I can cry with through the night
Someone who I can trust who's hardest right
And I'm looking for someone
“Ryo-chan!!” Yamapi exclaimed happily once he entered NEWS dressing room and made his way straight to where Ryo was sitting on the couch.
“Ohayou Pi” Ryo waved his hand and smiled.
“Ohayou” Pi took a seat next to Ryo on the couch. “You’re early today. I thought you will only be here in the noon”
“I took the earliest train to Tokyo this morning and came straight to the jimusho after that” Yamapi thought that Ryo’s smile looked a bit creepy today.
“Oh” Yampi blinked his eyes. “You look quite energetic today, aren’t you?”
Ryo nodded. “Indeed. And I had this feeling like something good would happen today”
“Okay~”
Something good will really happen. Ryo cannot hide that smile that plastered all over his face, not when he kept remembering every text exchanged between him and Ueda this morning.
Are you up already? I’m in Tokyo now and I’ll head straight to jimusho.
Hontou ni? I’m happy (*_*) then, let’s work hard for today too. Ganbatte love~
Hai hai. You’re the one who has to work harder. I was thinking. Can I see you later after the practice?
Sure! So, I’ll text you?
Yeah. Then I’ll see ya later.
Take for granted
How much I care (How much I care)
And appreciates that I'm there
Someone who listens
And someone I can call who isn't afraid of love to share
“Ah Nishikido-san” Ueda who was waiting while leaning against the wall in front of KAT-TUN’s room quickly straightened his body when he saw Ryo was coming. He bend his body a bit, bowed politely to Ryo when Ryo stood in front of him.
“Sorry. Pi keeps holding me back, wanting me to hang out with him and Yuu tonight”
“Oh” Ueda was speechless for a moment and Ryo who can seem to read what was in Ueda’s mind quickly spoke up.
“I told him I can’t because I’m going for a date with my hime tonight” Ryo smiled wickedly and Ueda froze. He was staring at Ryo with wide eyes and a mouth slightly opened.
“Let’s get going. I already reserved a table at Italian restaurant tonight” Ryo started to walk and stopped after a few steps when he realized that Ueda wasn’t following him. “Aren’t you coming with me? Don’t tell me that you regretted confessing your love to me now” Ueda immediately shook his head. “Good. ‘Coz if you do, I’ll make you confess to me again and again” and this time, Ueda didn’t give a second thought when he walked together with Ryo for the first time and he couldn’t help but smiling widely. Just when he thought he will never ever had a chance like this, Ryo grabbed his hand and gripped it tight, telling him that they will face this new journey of their life together, as two.
Is it you? Is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?
“Why?”
Ryo gave a deep thinking. “Because I knew you’re the one for me”
“How?” Ueda didn’t seem convinced.
“I just knew” Ryo replied. “Why? Do you need another reason?”
Ueda shrugged. “I don’t know”
“Okay, what if I say that I love you but I knew you love me too. So I waited for you to confess to me first” Ryo winked and Ueda pouted.
“Big ego of yours”
Ryo laughed. “Yeah, that’s why you love me. But I’m glad that you’re the one who understand this side of me the most”
“Ueda Tatsuya, I love you”
