[One-shot] The way to roleplay RyoDa - the story part 1
Title : The way to roleplay RyoDa : second story
Pairing : RyoDa obviously
Authors : gaillen & creamy_amande
Rating : I'd say safe, maybe some rude words that’s all
Genre : Crack, fluff, angst
Summary : Again, gaillen & me roleplayed. And again, it was spontaneous, we were discussing how now there were girls in RESCUE's PV and I was what you call a bit jealous over it, and in my memory of fangirl, it was the first time I saw girls, but then she said there were in DUES; but I was all "well it's different in a nightclub right?"
Though it's not a sequel of our first RP. This one turned out to be more serious and wayyy longer!!!
Ryo and Ueda were discussing some Making of PV issues...and Nishikido was annoyed.
"One thing bothered me though"
"What?"
"As I recall, it's the FIRST ever PV with girls"
"Except for DUES"
"But with DUES it's in a nightclub"
"But there are still girls"
"Yes but they were not only girls, it was like a gathering, here it's only dancers. Too close and touchy"
"Are you jealous, Gachapin?"
"Well yeah why wouldn't I be? *pouts* I'm sure they tried to grope you while dancing!"
"But I assure you, nothing like that happened."
"Yeah yeah better not! Actually Jin reported to me how it happened so I guess I can trust you"
"What? you couldn't trust me before?"
"NO no i trust you! It's just that I can't always know what happens around you; and sometimes you don't talk to me about these things, I won't always get mad you know if you tell me"
"You get all upset about me dancing with girls; but you didn't say a word about Kobayashi-san and me during the butai"
"Well I already talked to this RYOko girl. We already, cleared things up, privately.
I think she won't ever try something"
"You didn't threaten her did you? She's a good girl"
"........."
"I'm a professionnal !
"Nishikido......? Are you lying to me?"
"..........WHAT?!
"If I find out that you hurt that poor girl, emotionally or physically, I'll never talk to you again"
"NO! I didn't! I'm sure she's alright! We made a pretty good deal you know.
I didn't threaten her, well not really"
"What deal did you make? *growls*
"Err?...don't wanna tell"
"Nishikido?.......... *sweetly* Nishikido?
"Well...I just told her to back off of you, just stay professional, and she should be alright...I won't.... *whispering* beat her up.
I mean she needs her face to stay an actress right?"
"You're sleeping outside" *kicks ryo out of the bedroom and locks the door*
"Eh why? I don't think she took it wrongly you know!
*knock knock loudly* Come on Tatsuya!!!!! SORRY?!"
"................................"
"Please it's nothing to worry about!
I promise I won't do anything to her!
Even if she tries to molest you!"
"..............................."
"Oh come on don't be such a girl! I'm only being protective!
Don't you know how many people come to me these days saying how they have the SUDDEN hots for you cause of all the recent spotlight you get?
You even overshadowing my career actually!
Well not like I care about that but I don't want people to look at you differently!
It's like they see you NOW but before they never did! It's hypocrism and...ANYWAY!"
"How are you any better?
You always made of fun of me before we starting dating"
"That's because I liked you! That's because I wanted you to notice me!
"I mean, you were kinda weird and all, I started to play with you but I don't know, something inside me wanted to be mean to you, I never knew why.
I just discovered it was not out of hate, nor love, just curiosity, and curiosity became admiring and respect.
Then I started to grow fond of you, and even then, when being mean, I wanted you to notice me, cause either way you wouldn't look at me! Other than Nishikido, the mean guy."
*door opens slowly* "You could have said something back then. It's better than being an ass.
"Well would you believe me? Wouldn't you think I was playing with you? Again?"
"And I'm not sure I forgive you yet for threatening Kobayashi-san"
"I didn't! Oh okay just a little bit maybe, I promise to apologize to her, if I see her again"
"Believe you? Not to begin with. But I would have believed you before you started picking on me.
And you better apologize to her. *whispers* I noticed you a long time ago, you didn't have to be mean"
"Okay I promise ...but for the past, I really don't think you would have believed me
You...you noticed me? How so?
We didn't even interract with each other that much"
"I remember watching you : performances on tv when I was just a back dancer; I always thought you were cool, and maybe I had a little crush on you"
" .......rrreally? me? cool?
I was just a tiny boy, nervous and terrible already"
"You danced really well, and your voice was really nice, but yeah you were short"
"Oi! I know that already!"
"But you seemed all the more amazing because of it"
" ....that's...a weird conclusion"
"It's just....just....oh forget it! I'm going to bed!"
" ? tell me more about it! No please come back!
I didn't know you thought of me before!...Tatsuya?"
"Good night, Nishikido!"
"HIME!" *pouts* "okay....go to bed...I won't bother you anymore..." *whines*
Ryo goes to the bathroom to change, jumps into his pajamas, and joins his lover into bed. But the latter takes all the place in the bed as a hint for Ryo to sleep elsewhere, as a punishment.
"Oh not you! You are sleeping in the guest room"
"Grrrr....this is unfair! Can't I share the warmness of your body? I said I'm sorry!"
"No! I still haven't quite forgiven you yet!"
"Ehhh? I thought you did...
Oh okay guess...I'll be sleeping in the guest room...where it's cold, with no silky blanket, no warm Tatsuya to sleep beside me, no addicting smell of my princess...no beautiful lover to cuddle up to...."
"You're not sweet talking your way out of this one.
Now get going!" *tTatsuya turns away and curls up under all the blankets*
"Hime?" *the other ignores ryo* "Tatsuya?!...Ne! NE! You really you want to do it this way?!"
Tatsuya raises a single hand and points to the door of the bedroom
"rofllllgrrz OKAY!!!!!!!" *Ryo forwards to the guest room and sighs REALLY heavily*
"I'm in the guest room now! I'm alone! I'm cold! I even might please myself! SO, sorry if you hear me moan you name! better close your ears tight Tatsuya!"
"Go to sleep!"
"Hmm WHAT?!!! Can I not please myself? Alone? Really?! Can I REALLLLY not? Oh Yes Tatsuya please!!! Yes Hime more give me more!!!!!!" *faking obviously*
"Go. To. Sleep!"
"OH MY GOD YES! you're so hooooot Tatsuya! Mawwwwre!"
"NISHIKIDO!! You'll be sleeping out there tomorrow night if you don't cut it and go to sleep!"
"Well I guess I'll have to please myself tomorrow night too then!"
Only YOU can stop me you know?!" *no response from Ueda*
"HELLO?!"
Then Ueda, amazed at how he could resist 'till now, proceeds to the guest room to do the only thing he can to shut Nishikido up. He punches him in the face and goes back fumming to the bedroom. The door slams and then he locks it.
"Good Night!"
"What the f*ck?! I can't believe you just punched the love of your life! Who happens to be....oh f*ck that.
Yeah yeah goodnight to you TOO!"
He then proceeds to the kitchen in hope for some ice, but unfortunately for him and his karma, there's none. "Just my luck!"
Tatsuya continues to ignore everything and buries his head under one of the pillows for the hope of silence. And falls asleep.
"Guess I'll have to properly apologize...tomorrow"
Two hours later...
Everything is silent in the house and both individuals are sleeping in seperate beds...The door to the main bedroom opens and Tatsuya walks out, slowly tiptoeing his way to the guest room.
"Ryo?" *Ueda shakes the younger male from his uncomfortable sleep* Ryo?" *shakes harder*
"scra-nya? Oh...Tatsuya...? You're not sleeping?"
"I hate you." *climbs into bed next to him snuggling against the Osakan's side*
"Oh...you're joining me here? It's not confortable here, you better go back there you know, here it's too tiny and cold, in this room"
"Nishikido?"
"hn?"
"Shut up and go to sleep"
"Mmm'kay.."
Ryo places his hand on his lover's waist and makes the latter cuddle in his chest tightly, while his other hand caresses gently the boxer's hair* "I'm sorry, Tatsuya"
"I know. I'm sorry too"
"I love you, you know that? I can't help myself, can't help who I am...I promise to try harder with this possessive and agressive me okay?
You know, you can't tell like that, but sometimes I'm insecure...
Guess I'm just a little boy around you"
"I love you, Ryo but sometimes you just.... you just make it difficult but still I love you and can't live without you, hell, I can't even sleep without you"
"Ahh ah...I'm glad you can't, it means you only are mine right? I can't live without you either, that's why it's scary..."
"Of course I'm yours alone and I do love you. I always will. I can only hope you do to"
"That's reassuring. I always will too! Can't you tell how I love you by being over protective?!"
"I just wish you would treat people a little bit nicer"
"I know...maybe I should see a therapist? To treat this, jealousy issue"
"Hmmm~ I like you being jealous"
"I know it's been hard on you over the past months, with you being more into the limelight, thus me being well, possessive"
"Ryo." *reaches to cup Ryo's face with his hands* "I love you. Don't forget it, because it'll never change, understand?"
"I know, I know Hime, I'm not insecure about you, it's about me...or well just a bit you okay.
I'm scared you would leave me if I'm becoming someone you could hate.
I perfectly know how I am with you. I've never been like this before you know, I don't think I ever loved someone like this in the past, and it scares me so much you might leave me...cause I'm being difficult, well more than that! I'm being, ...scary! I even think I could become like my character, you know the DV one?"
"I know that you aren't that person. Besides you've never been able to take me strength wise.
I've always been able to kick your ass. But, despite that, I know my Ryo. And you aren't that person. You never were and never will be."
"Well then if ever I begin to transform into that thing, I wish you'd punch me to reason"
"Don't worry. I have every intention of putting my boxing to good use if that happens."
"Good! Now that's settled, go to sleep. I'm happy we cleared that matter. But still, I think I should try and go see a therapist; it won't kill me to see if I can lessen my agressive and possessive character"
"Maybe not. But you still need to apologize to Jurieto tomorrow."
"No I think I should see one, won't hurt.
Yes I will apologize to J... how did you call HER?!"
"Ne, Ryo? we should go to sleep?"
"Okay okay sleep tight my love"
Hugging closer, both of them close their eyes thinking about the serious talk Ryo had brought, being insecure was never an issue for him before, the proud man he is would never admit it in the past, now he hopes his love for Ueda will always be returned, and decides, that tomorrow he WILL make an appointment to go see a shrink, cause he knows, someone in his family had some agressive issues that led him to jail.
But he won't tell Tatsuya about that, not now anyway...
*Tatsuya, I won't turn into him, I swear!*
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ A couple of days later ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Ryo was alone, wandering in town, thinking of coming back home, but first he tried calling his boyfriend...bu bu bu...
*The number you're dialing can't be reached at the moment, please try again later*
*tries again* ~bu bu bu~
*The number you're dialing can't be reached at the moment, please try again later*
"F*CK!"
"....he seems to be busy...just when i needed to talk to him."
Then this time it's Ueda who calls ~bu bu bu~
"Hai! About time"
"Were you the one trying to call my phone?"
"YES! Busy?"
"Gomen na~ . A little"
"Don't tell me.........you're still playing that game Taguchi gave you?!"
"Hee! I can't seem to put it down."
"God Tatsuya...have nothing better to do? Did you work today?"
"No today's my day off, remember? And you're not here.
I really had nothing to do; unless of course you wanted me to go out with Jin tonight"
"Jin? why him? Don't you go boxing usually when you're alone?"
"But I did go boxing. It was just earlier today.
And Jin invited me out with him, Kame, and Yamashita-kun."
"Okay...you, you could have gone with them you know, it's not like something bad will happen while I'm not there."
"I turned him down because I wanted to try and finish this game.
*clearly annoyed by something* Ahh~ Damn! I just died."
"Tatsuya, please focus here!...
I'm...today I went...I had some appointments with.... *hesitates* KOBAYASHI-SAN! I went and apologized to her!"
"You were nice about it weren't you?"
"Yes yes, I tell you she wasn't, scared or anything..
Actually, she told me she heard some rumours about me; me being a jerk, so she wasn't really surprised"
"Good. I don't want my boyfriend and my co-star to be at odds with each other. She forgave you?"
"Well, not really. She told me...she told me I should treat you well, or else, SHE could..steal you away"
"I really doubt that, Nishikido. But I really wouldn't mind you being a bit nicer."
"Yeah I know she can't steal you, you're gay after all. But I promised her I will, treat you better"
"Oh, how did your therapy go by the way?"
"T.....T"
"Ryo?"
"Ah huh therapy? What therapy?!"
"You were talking about it that night. I heard you. You have a really cute habit of talking in your sleep."
"God....er well, I just went to see a shrink you know, talk a bit, nothing much"
"Why did you go anyways? I thought I told you you had nothing to worry about. So why did you decide to go after all?"
"Oh eeh just you know, to see if there was any problem with me.
But in the end, you know, it's just ssssstress...Yes I'm just really tired that's all
So I'll be coming home tonight you'll be there?"
"Yep, I'll be here. Do you want me to cook dinner for you? Or do you want to worry about it?"
"NO! No you don't have to worry about that, i just told you it was only stress"
"Okay. But don't hide things from me. If something's up, I'd like to know."
"Huu eh don't worry, it's nothing to worry about.
So maybe I'll be cooking okay? Cause last time we ended up only eating crepes, and crepes for dinner is abit..."
"Hey! You still have to admit that they tasted pretty good. Even though I made a mess..."
"Well it's okay, I love doing cleaning..even if the kitchen was really a mess"
"It was even worst once we got into that water fight. That was fun!
"Well you know, flour and water equals real big mess
We could have used it for more crepes. Anyway, so I'll be there in like half an hour, I'll stop by before for some groceries okay?"
"Okay, be safe. I'll see you when you get home."
"Okidoki love! Aand stop that game when I'm coming!"
"Okay Okay! I'll save my game and turn it off."
"Ja see you in a bit!"
"Okay, bye. Ashiteru."
"Same here" *hangs up*
*Ueda closes phone and glances at clock* "I've got a little time to finish this section of the game. Yosh!"
"God how am I gonna live with this...hell, how am I telling him the truth? Tatsuya you don't deserve this..."
While the other is gleefully playing the video game...
Nishikido makes his was to the local supermarket and gets some ingredients in planning of making some hotpot, cause hotpot is nice right?
Tatsuya finally saves his game and turns it off before stretching languidly; his back pops a little from the stretch and he gives a contented groan.
After finishing with buying food, Ryo forwards to the apartment he and Tatsuya share, with in his mind, the words of advice the therapist gave him earlier on...
"Nishikido-san, you must take precautions you know, this thing you have, you better treat it as soon as possible, and possibly tell your family and friends about it; they can't NOT know, for their safety, and yours"
With that in mind, Ryo just shed a tear before entering the residence.
Tatsuya hums softly to himself as he walks into the kitchen of the apartment and pulled out a bottle of water. Taking several sips when he hears the door open.
Ryo, with one last thought "okay now's the time to use my acting skills", he slaps himself for some courage.
"Hello, Ryo-chan!"
"Hime! I'm back!"
"Okaeri!"
*Tatsuya walks into the ante-chamber and gives Ryo a hug*
"Aww you're so cute...how I've missed you today"
"I missed you too. How was work today?"
"Work? Ah yeah, huh had some photoshoot I think...with NewS..for you know, the usual"
"Well, I'm glad your day ended up fairly good. You were a little stressed out this morning. So i was worried."
"Well I was worried about Kobayashi-san for sure! I mean I don't want to harden our relationship because of my selfishness.
So...What did you do all day? Playing only?"
"Oh no! I went with Yucchi to lunch and then I trained for a little while"
"Yucchi? Oh good.and training? Good."
"Other than that...that games been taking up all my time."
"Ah ah...care to show me later how to play it? If you spend so much time on it, maybe it's interesting?"
"Okay! Sure! But come on. You haven't had dinner yet. And you need to eat."
"Yes! Say, I brought some food to make a hotpot, is that okay with you?"
"That sounds great! "
"Cool! let's prepare everything then. Bring the nabe over, I'll go prepare the ingredients"
"Okay! *opens one of the cabinets to pull the nabe out from where it's stored.*
Ryo quietly prepares the ingredients, though his mind is definitely somewhere else.
"Hey Ryo?...Ryo?"
Chopping some carrots and onions, he accidently cuts his pinky finger while eyeing his lover.
"Ryo!!" You're bleeding!"
"So it seems..." *Tatsuya completely panics*
"Calm down Tatsuya CALM DOWN! It's nothing really! Just a little bandage will do you know"
*Ueda grabs Ryo's hand and places the cut finger into his mouth*
"I heard this helps stops the bleeding" *Tatsuya's voice comes out muffled*
*looking in Tatsuya's eyes, fondly* thank you, Tatsuya, you're so...loving, and I love you. Stop being so cute would you?
I don't think this would stop the bleeding you know, only makes me ...hot."
"Here" *sighs and hands him a towel* "I'll go get the first aid kit."
Nishikido watches his precious leaving him, and for a brief moment, imagines his life, if Tatsuya was not by his side.
"You're such a loving wife you know?!!!"
"I'm not a girl!! Mou~ Nishikido." *Tatsuya comes back with the first aid kit shortly after yelling*
"fufufu~~yes you're not a girl, I know by your punch!"
*Ueda sets it on the table and opens it pulling out a bandage and some antibiotic ointment*
"Are you okay, Ryo? You're really distracted by something."
"Yes don't worry, just a little bit of blood won't kill me.
Distracted? Nah don't imagine things"
"I was calling your name before you cut your finger and you didn't answer me. And then you cut your finger."
"Oh really? "
"I've never seen you do that before."
"Told you I was tired!"
Tatsuya sighs but lets the topic drop. His heart feels heavy because he knows Ryo's lying to him, he just doesn't know about what.
"Let's finish dinner okay. Please don't cut yourself again."
"Yes I won't. It's not like I wanted to cut myself on purpose!"
"I got some of that Green Tea you like. Do you want some with dinner?"
"Thank you Tatsyua! You know how I love this brand!
Ne, I was thinking, it's been a while since we got days off together? Could we, go somewhere, next time?"
"Where would like to go?" *watches the kettle he had just set on the oventop*
"Hum anywhere would be fine" *adding beef, carrots and soy sauce to the nabe*
"I'd like to go to Kyoto with you. That is if you'd like too. I heard the temples are really pretty there."
"Kyoto? Never knew you'd like to go there? Let's then"
Oh! when's your first night in osaka for your play? I could drop by maybe"
"Nnh? April. April 2nd"
"April? That's.....far
Okay I'll, I'll try to ..wait a minute, are there any tickets left?"
"Wait a moment." *Tatsuya runs to their bedroom*
"??? Tat'..?"
*Ueda comes back with a envelope and an embarrassed smile*
"Here. I wasn't sure if you could make it. So I didn't give it to you earlier."
"Is that what I think it is?"
"Yep! A ticket to the first showing in Osaka."
*opens the enveloppe* Oh my god Tatsuya thank you! You really read my mind!
I really thought it'd be a shame if I didn't go to your play in osaka while I'm probably with Kanjani or my family at the moment"
"Well, like I said. I didn't know if you could make it. I'd like you too."
"Plus, I would like you to meet my parents...or not
Come to think of it NO!"
"Ehh?"
"They would probably be busy anway...so I want to show you my town!"
"Okay, Ryo. One of these days, I would like to meet your parents though. I'd like you to meet mine as well."
"I don't think that's a good idea though. I mean, past the whole I'm-gay-thing, I really don't know"
"Maybe one day? At least, we could hope right?"
"Aah yeah, one day, probably"
The kettle begins whistling and Tatsuya turns away to pull it off the heat; he's smiling.
"It's ready? God I'm hungry! Ah maybe you want some wine Tatsuya?"
"No. I have no intention of getting drunk tonight. If we do anything, I want to be able to remember it."
"Don't worry! You know me! I'll make you remember everything! I'm a sex god don't you forget!"
"You are so incredibly full of yourself. *shakes head and pours the green tea into a mug for Ryo*
*Ryo smirks cutely and takes the mug* "Thank you..really"
"Wah it's hot!" *burning his tongue* "So, let's dig in? I even added some sweet potatoes! I know you like their taste"
"Itadakimasu~!"
*cheerily* "Itadakimasuuuu!"
*Tatsuya nearly drops a vegetable from his chopsticks and jumps trying to catch it*
"Aah AH! you're such a clutz Tatsuya! But you're cute while doing so...just leave it, I'll clean it up later"
"Mou~ I'm sorry. And it's only one piece. I'll get it" *grabs towel and quickly wipes up the spot* "See, no worries!"
"Okay...but don't put it in back into your mouth! It's dirty!"
"What do you think of me?"
"Here" *shoves some good piece of meat in front of ueda's mouth* "it's the best part
Nothing...you're just a kid sometimes, when it comes to food...hee hee you remind me of Okura-kun for that matter!"
*eats the meat from Ryo's chopsticks and sits back thoughtfully*
"Mou~ I can't help it! And what do you mean about Okura-kun?"
"You know, he's an ogre! He can't think straight when it comes to food! And he can even washes some food that fell on the floor just because you can't waste it!"
"Sounds like Koki on a bad day."
"Oh really?!"
"Yeah Jin's just as bad but he's more into the cleaning it up as opposed to wasting it."
"Ahah well we have weird bandmates and friends...Say, we finish this and go to sleep?"
"Okay. We'll clean up tomorrow."
Tatsuya wakes up and sighs, snuggling back into Ryo's embrace before glancing at the clock. It's almost 9 and he has to get ready for work or he'll be late. He slips out of Ryo's hold but pauses and leans down to kiss Ryo on the cheek
"Good morning, Ryo-chan"
Nishikido slowly opens his eyes, although blinded by the daylight, he glances at his lover, who's currently reaching for the doorknob
"Morning sunshine..."
"You already up?"
"Yeah, I have work in an hour. Didn't mean to wake you"
"Nah it's okay, I think I have to get up too, though I don't clearly remember if I have work today"
"You don't. Today's your day off. So you can go back to sleep if you want"
"Oh really? What am I gonna do all day then? AH! I know! I can try and play your game? When you get back we can have a duel!"
"If you want to, please don't rewrite my game.. I've gotten so far..you can call Jin too.
It isn't a KAT-TUN day; it's just a Romeo and Juliet day"
"Ahah! HEY! No, nothing...tell her I say hi!"
"Okay, I'll do that. And just so you know"
"Huh?"
"I have every intention of asking her about yesterday"
"Oh, you don't trust me on this?"
"Of course not" *deadpan*
"Mou hime, you should trust me , once in a while"
*walks over to give Ryo a long kiss* "Most of the time I do. Just not when it comes to you being overly possessive"
"But it's not my fault!"
"I love you and" *looks at clock and shrieks* "I'm going to be late!!!!"
"Oh okay! Then have a good day at work Tatsuya!"
"Behave yourself, Ryo. I'll see you later tonight."
Then Ryo runs to reach the door first, grabs Tatsuya by the shoulder and holds him tightly "Love you hime, be careful outside"
"I love you too. And of course I will be. *kisses him before wiggling form his grasp and leaving the apartment*
He runs to the elevator and waves at Ryo one last time before the lift's doors close.
Nishikido sighs, then proceeds to the bathroom to take a shower, thinking what to do all day.
After minutes of hot water pouring over his body, he gets out, stops in front of the mirror, takes a good look at himself while thinking he hopes Tatsuya doesn't realize he got skinnier again.
Tatsuya gets on the train that he ran hard to get to on time. He leans against the railing in the car and catches his breath before pulling out his cell phone and dailing a familiar number.
It isn't long before the other person picks up and he smiles into it.
*Kame* "Hey"
"Do you have a moment to talk?" The phone call lasts until he arrives at his train station.
On the other hand, Ryo decides that he indeed has things to do today, apart from thinking how he's gonna beat Ueda at his new hobby.
He has to phone to Uchi for him to go visiting a mysterious person on the other side of town, needs to sleep, sleep and maybe then he can try to relax, and play.
After getting a somewhat of breakfast he dials his best friend's number, in hopes Uchi would be free today, and indeed, he is, so Ryo plans to meet with him later, maybe after lunch, cause he don't plan on talking serious matters on empty stomach, Ueda would be furious if he knew!
Tatsuya meanwhile arrives at the practice venue for the Romeo and Juliet play and enters his dressing room to remove his jacket and pull back his hair.
"Ohayo, minna~" *he goes to seek out Kobayashi-san in the idea to directly ask her about his boyfriend's actions the other day*
"Kobayashi-san?"
"Hai, Ueda-san?"
"Yesterday, did someone named Nishikido talk to you?"
"Ehh? Oh, hai! You're boyfriend right?"
"Not so loud." *hisses*
"Oh sorry."
"He wasn't mean to you was he?"
"No, he was really nice."
"I see."
"Ano? Did he tell you...?"
"Ehh? Tell me what?"
"Oh, nothing. Nevermind."
She turns to leave when the director calls her and leaves a mildly relieved but slightly confused Tatsuya behind.
During lunch, Ryo explains to Uchi why they have to go there again, after so many years, but Uchi still wants to know why Ryo is concerned. So Ryo tell Uchi it's for the sake of Ueda, cause things get out of hands, and he can't let this go, not anymore. Something must be done.
"I'm involved now, whether I like it or not, and the shrink told me it's for everyone's safety, so....
"A therapist Ryo, not a shrink"
"So? Shrink, therapist? Pretty much the same to me! They just play with your heads!"
Uchi and Ryo argue a bit about form, context and even school grades, but Uchi calms things down quite quickly, he's not Ryo's best friend for nothing.
When lunch is over, Ryo and Uchi proceed leave for the outskirts of Tokyo, and arrive at the county jail.
Someone tells them the person they're here for has moved to the nearest facility, Ryo is of course pissed off, patience is not HIS virtue, but after a while, he thinks walking just a bit more would calm him down; after all, now's not a good time to lose his temper.
Tatsuya gets a small break from practice, and goes to search ryoko down to ask her what she meant by what she had said but is stopped by his phone ringing.
He picks it up and places it against his ear.
*Kame* "Hey Tat-chan."
"Hey"
"Did you talk to him?"
"No not yet"
"I'm working right now. Haven't seen him since this morning."
"You need to talk to him."
"I know. "
"Tat-chan...If you don't talk to him you'll never know if he's really lying to you or not.
He might not be. But you think he's hiding something and the only way you'll fine out is by asking him."
"I tried but he brushed me off last night."
"Try again. Nishikido'll open up eventually. He's probably just worried about you."
Tatsuya sighed and set on the floor of his dressing room. Asking for straight answers when Ryo's hiding something has never been easy.
He spends the entire break time listening to Kame over the phone.
*Uchi* "So you think he's gonna talk to you? You think he remembers? After all these years?"
"Well I have to try right? So you're helping me or not?"
"Yes! Yes I told you I'd help, but I don't see how am I gonna do this!"
"Just, just be there okay, if I snap, just do what you do usually, okay?"
"Yeah okay...just take a deep breath okay? I'll be just behind you remember. Just don't force the words out, you won't gain anything!"
"Alright alright!"
Seconds later, Ryo enters a plain, white room, covered with photos, his family it seems...In the next hour, Ryo tries to pull off some words and phrases from the small old figure sitting in front of him...but nothing coherent comes out.
In the end, he just got some words of love, for a woman, probably the one on the photos framed on the walls...that's all. Sighing, he points the door to Uchi, "let's go"
"So did he gave you anything? Advice? Solution? T...treatment?"
"No, nothing interesting anyway...,just let's go, I'll go talk to that doctor again, later. I'll try his way."
Nishikido and Uchi leave, just like that, from the facility, that Ryo would identify as "county asylum"
After going back to Tokyo, an hour or so later, Ryo thanks his friend for accompanying him today, then they part ways. Ryo decides to just go home, naps, and play some of his lover's recent passion.
Tatsuya sighs, as he once again forgot his lines and ended up saying the wrong thing. The directors calls a break and Tatsuya takes a bottle of water sitting on the side lines, drinking several sips. Ryoko asks him if he's okay and Tatsuya merely smiles and nods before sinking back into his own world. He picks up his phone and dials Ryo's number after a minute of contemplation* ~bu bu bu~
Ryo notices his phone ringing, but after coming back from where he's been all afternoon, he does not feel like talking to Tatsuya right now, he could end up crying on the phone, and he really doesn't want that to happen.
The phone rings out and Tatsuya pulls it away from his ear and stares at the name that flashes once or twice before going out.
"Ryo, why aren't you answering? What are you doing?" *he sighs and pockets the device*
*thinking* "Sorry Tatsuya...I can't talk to you right now, not in this state"....*and Ryo starts crying, again.* "I better sleep a bit, I'll have an excuse by then"
Tatsuya's phone rings shortly after he rangs it up and he pulls it out hoping Ryo was calling him back. It isn't Ryo on the phone but rather Jin
*Jin* "Tat-chan! Hi~ Kame told me where practicing for your play"
"Yes, Jin."
"Cool~! What are you doing tonight?"
"Uhhh~well. Probably going home. Ryo's off today and..."
" Want to come out with me, Yamapi, and Kame tonigh? I'll even call Ryo and ask him to come too."
"I don't know Jin"
"Come on, Uebo! We haven't gone out in a long time. If you agree, I'll call Ryo-chan and ask him out as well."
"Alright, Jin. I'll go out with you and the others tonight."
"Awesome!! "
"We're starting again. I'll see you later. Oh where are we meeting?"
"That resturant near my apartment. You know the place?"
"The semi-American one?"
"Yep. See you there!"
*Tatsuya sighs. Agreeing with Jin just gave him a really bad feeling about tonight*
Ryo wakes up, glances at the clock "shit it's already 6! Should get on that game before he arrives!"
So Ryo pushes the power button of that playstation 2, with the Spyro game in it, and though he's a bit tired, he actually enjoys it.
"How ridiculous is that dragon! Purple! He's such a sissy!
How come he spends so much time on this?! It's eas...y! F*ck I'm dead!"
And then Ryo fails, quite a few times before Tatsuya comes home.
Tatsuya is walking down the streets to the resturant that Jin had choosen and walks in with a sigh. He sees the other three almost instantly and moves over to the table.
"I thought you said you were going to call Ryo, Jin?"
"I did. He wouldn't answer his cell phone!"
Tatsuya rolls his eyes and goes to dial his boyfriend's phone number. ~bu bu bu~
"Ooh shit!.. Hai! Moshi mosh!"
"Ryo, it's me."
"Tatsuya? Why aren't you back home? It's late you know"
"Well you see, Jin invited me out with him , Yamashita-kun and Kame. Jin said he was going to call you about it"
"Oh?!"
"He said you didn't answer"
"Did he?" *checks his missed call then whispering* "oh shit!... I didn't hear.
Sorry. I played ALL afternoon you see, and napping at one point"
"Ehhh!? How far have you gotten? Oh nevermind. Do you want to come join us at the resturant?"
"Level...2...Seriously Tatsuya this game sucks! It keeps beating me!"
"Level.........2? hahahahahahahahahahahaha"
"Oi don't laugh! And why is it purple?!!!"
"You're so cute. It's because he's a special dragon. And purple is a special color when it comes to dragons"
"Yeah weird...purple...girly dragon...perfect for you then"
"Mou~ Ryo-chan!"
"Ah ah.....so where are you exactly?"
"At that American place near Jin's apartment. Jin says you know the place, you've been there with him befor"e
"Yeah I know that place...actually I can be there in about 20 min..is that okay?"
"I'll see you when you get here"
"Okay, see you later then!" *hangs up*
He clicks his phone closed and looks at the others. Jin and Pi are fighting over chips and salsa while Kame just looks at him.
"You didn't ask him?"
"I didn't have the courage too." *he props his head on his hands and waits for Ryo to show up*
Ryo arrives almost half an hour later...having nothing trendy to wear from Tatsuya's apartment, he ended up 10 minutes late because he couldn't choose his clothes properly.
*apologetically* "Sorry I'm late!"
"That's okay, glad you're here" *Tatsuya smiles*
Ryo proceeds to sit besides his lover, and guiltily kisses him on the cheek. He then places his right hand on the back on Tatsuya, stroking it gently, while smiling fakingly to his friends.
"SO! Jin, I'm sorry I didn't hear you calling" *turning to face his lover* "you too, seems you called me too?"
"Yeah, during a break. You must have been sleeping at that time."
"Hmm probably..."
"It...wasn't important."
"Okay. "
"I just wanted to see what you were up too."
*Nishikido feels the glare Kame is giving him* "Oh Kame! What's that look you're giving me?! Don't tell me...you still don't like me? After all these years?
I know you've been protecting over Tatsuya but don't worry, I'm not like that anymore"
Tatsuya sighs and cuts kame off before he can say anything.
"I'm going to the washroom, excuse me."
Tatsuya gets up and leaves the table. After he's gone Kame finally speaks up.
"What's wrong with you?" *Ryo glances his lover get off*
"Eh? what do you mean?"
"Tat-chan's worried about you. Are you hiding something from him?"
"Huh?! No! What did he tell you anyway?!"
"He thinks you're not telling him something. And it's depressing him."
*sulking* It's nothing, really. I've been really tired these days"
"Nishikido, if somethings up you need to tell him about it."
"Besides, it's not your business Kamenashi"
"It might not be, but Tat-chan is my friend and his happiness is my business. Don't do anything to hurt him Nishikido or I will hunt you down."
"Hee like I'm scared of you...he's definitely scarier than you and.. *tatsuya comes back*
*Ryo stands up abruptly* "I'm gonna go and check on him"
*Ryo bumps into ueda* "Oh! I was gonna ..."
"Sorry." *tatsuya smiles*
"Are you okay? What took you so long? Don't tell me....you were pooping?"
"Nishikido!!!"
"Teehh eee joking joking"
*Tatsuya bites his lip* I....I want to go home, Ryo."
"Eh already?"
"Yeah....it's......" *two drunken guys come out of the bathroom and start asking about the pretty boy that had just left. Tatsuya squeaks and hides behind Ryo, without much success*
"Let's go home. Please?"
*Ryo glares at the two men* "OI! YOU! Where do you think you're looking at!
SO you wanna fight with me?!!! You think you can eye on my boyfriend !!!! GET the hell out of here you son of a bitch!"
"Ryo don't fight them. Let's just go." *Kame also stands up the two bakas looking around in confusion*
"I'm having a bad day already and you come here and ... No Tatsuya!
I have to show these" *Ryo looks at his lover, his eyes are already wet* ..."okay hime, let's just...go
Guys! Sorry, we're going! Will see you all later okay!"
Ryo grabs both his and Ueda's jackets, places his arm around Tatsuya's shoulders, then proceeds to the door.
"And you!" *glancing to the manager* "You better not welcome shitty people like this in your store again!"
"Ryo! Just............let's go. I don't want to be here anymore. Let's just go home, please?" *clings to Ryo's side*
"Alright alright....bye guys."
"I think we should leave too."
Kame follows them out with Pi and Jin following but only after Jin gave them a telling off in english.
"Bye. I'll see you later Kame. Jin." *pulls Ryo in the direction of their home*
"Hime, you're okay? What happened back there?"
"I walked into the washroom, they were already there, but I just ignored them.
They both kind of ganged up on me while I was washing my hands and starting talking to me.
The things they said weren't very nice. At least they were very sexual in a way.
I got out as soon as I could and came running to you."
Fuming like hell, Ryo snaps then runs back to the restaurant; there in front of the door, the two men from before being kicked out by the manager, saw a not so tall angry man walking right in their direction, and soon after, Ryo punches one after the other, without restraint..
"HOW DARE YOU TALK TO MY BOYFRIEND!!!!"
Ueda is startled by the sudden movement from Ryo but realizes what happened and ran after him.
"Ryo stop!" *tries to grab Ryo's shoulders*
"GET OFF OF ME! I have to teach them some proper manner!"
"Ryo! Stop! You're an idol! What will Kitagawa say about you being in a fight!?
You'll get in trouble"! *grabs for Ryo's arm again*
"You think I care?!"
And with a sudden movement, Ryo jerks off Tatsuya who ends up on his butt, right behind him...
Ryo stops ganging on the two men to realize he just hurt Tatsuya.
"Hime I..."
"Ow! You....you.... " *is horrified*
The two men, just as freaked as Tatsuya, take the opportunity to stand up and jun run away.
"Him..Tatsuya I didn't ..I'm sorry!
Oh god, what did I just do?!" *looking a his bleeding hands*
"Ryo?" *Tatsuya reaches out for him slowly*
"Don't touch me! *jerks off Tatsuya's hands* AH! I, I have to go..away "
"Ryo! *watches the Osakan run off, who leaves a very puzzled Ueda on the floor*
It takes several moments, but Tatsuya realizes he should go after Ryo only to discover that he doesn't know where Ryo has run off to and he's sprained his ankle.
"Ouch! damnit! Ryo......"
After 10 minutes of running like hell, Ryo stops in his track, and calls Uchi.
"Moshi mosh? Ryo? Ryo?! Hello....what's that? are you...phone-sexing on me?!"
"Uchi *sobs* Uchi...I made a terrible thing...*sobs more* I did it. I did IT! I hurt Tatsuya!"
"Huh? What happened? Weren't you supposed to be home with him now?"
"I ..hmm We..went out..and something happened..I snapped!...it..got out...and I ran out
I hurt him! And I left him..."
"Okay okay I guess you won't be going home tonight right?! RYO! Calm down! I'm at the usual hotel for us...same usual room, yes come here, we'll talk.."
"Thhanx Uchi I’ll be there"
Meanwhile Tatsuya's tried calling Ryo's phone only to get a busy signal and is forced to turn to his friends. He's calling Jin since his apartment is the closest.
"Hai? Tat-chan?"
"Jin, I need you to come get me. "
"Why what happened? Weren't you and Ryo going home?"
"Jin, I'm in front of the resturant. *grits teeth* And I've sprained my ankle."
"Ehh? Where's Ryo-chan?"
"Som...Something happened. Ryo isn't here right now. *he fails to hold in a sob* Just come get me, please."
"Calm down, Tat-chan. We're coming back to get you."
*Tatsuya cries from both the pain in his ankle and the pain in his heart* "Thanks Jin."
Jin hangs up the phone and Tatsuya tries to re-dial Ryo's number ~bu bu bu~
The phone rings out and no one answers. Tatsuya tried hard not to start crying thee middle of the street.
follow me to part 2
Pairing : RyoDa obviously
Authors : gaillen & creamy_amande
Rating : I'd say safe, maybe some rude words that’s all
Genre : Crack, fluff, angst
Summary : Again, gaillen & me roleplayed. And again, it was spontaneous, we were discussing how now there were girls in RESCUE's PV and I was what you call a bit jealous over it, and in my memory of fangirl, it was the first time I saw girls, but then she said there were in DUES; but I was all "well it's different in a nightclub right?"
Though it's not a sequel of our first RP. This one turned out to be more serious and wayyy longer!!!
Ryo and Ueda were discussing some Making of PV issues...and Nishikido was annoyed.
"One thing bothered me though"
"What?"
"As I recall, it's the FIRST ever PV with girls"
"Except for DUES"
"But with DUES it's in a nightclub"
"But there are still girls"
"Yes but they were not only girls, it was like a gathering, here it's only dancers. Too close and touchy"
"Are you jealous, Gachapin?"
"Well yeah why wouldn't I be? *pouts* I'm sure they tried to grope you while dancing!"
"But I assure you, nothing like that happened."
"Yeah yeah better not! Actually Jin reported to me how it happened so I guess I can trust you"
"What? you couldn't trust me before?"
"NO no i trust you! It's just that I can't always know what happens around you; and sometimes you don't talk to me about these things, I won't always get mad you know if you tell me"
"You get all upset about me dancing with girls; but you didn't say a word about Kobayashi-san and me during the butai"
"Well I already talked to this RYOko girl. We already, cleared things up, privately.
I think she won't ever try something"
"You didn't threaten her did you? She's a good girl"
"........."
"I'm a professionnal !
"Nishikido......? Are you lying to me?"
"..........WHAT?!
"If I find out that you hurt that poor girl, emotionally or physically, I'll never talk to you again"
"NO! I didn't! I'm sure she's alright! We made a pretty good deal you know.
I didn't threaten her, well not really"
"What deal did you make? *growls*
"Err?...don't wanna tell"
"Nishikido?.......... *sweetly* Nishikido?
"Well...I just told her to back off of you, just stay professional, and she should be alright...I won't.... *whispering* beat her up.
I mean she needs her face to stay an actress right?"
"You're sleeping outside" *kicks ryo out of the bedroom and locks the door*
"Eh why? I don't think she took it wrongly you know!
*knock knock loudly* Come on Tatsuya!!!!! SORRY?!"
"................................"
"Please it's nothing to worry about!
I promise I won't do anything to her!
Even if she tries to molest you!"
"..............................."
"Oh come on don't be such a girl! I'm only being protective!
Don't you know how many people come to me these days saying how they have the SUDDEN hots for you cause of all the recent spotlight you get?
You even overshadowing my career actually!
Well not like I care about that but I don't want people to look at you differently!
It's like they see you NOW but before they never did! It's hypocrism and...ANYWAY!"
"How are you any better?
You always made of fun of me before we starting dating"
"That's because I liked you! That's because I wanted you to notice me!
"I mean, you were kinda weird and all, I started to play with you but I don't know, something inside me wanted to be mean to you, I never knew why.
I just discovered it was not out of hate, nor love, just curiosity, and curiosity became admiring and respect.
Then I started to grow fond of you, and even then, when being mean, I wanted you to notice me, cause either way you wouldn't look at me! Other than Nishikido, the mean guy."
*door opens slowly* "You could have said something back then. It's better than being an ass.
"Well would you believe me? Wouldn't you think I was playing with you? Again?"
"And I'm not sure I forgive you yet for threatening Kobayashi-san"
"I didn't! Oh okay just a little bit maybe, I promise to apologize to her, if I see her again"
"Believe you? Not to begin with. But I would have believed you before you started picking on me.
And you better apologize to her. *whispers* I noticed you a long time ago, you didn't have to be mean"
"Okay I promise ...but for the past, I really don't think you would have believed me
You...you noticed me? How so?
We didn't even interract with each other that much"
"I remember watching you : performances on tv when I was just a back dancer; I always thought you were cool, and maybe I had a little crush on you"
" .......rrreally? me? cool?
I was just a tiny boy, nervous and terrible already"
"You danced really well, and your voice was really nice, but yeah you were short"
"Oi! I know that already!"
"But you seemed all the more amazing because of it"
" ....that's...a weird conclusion"
"It's just....just....oh forget it! I'm going to bed!"
" ? tell me more about it! No please come back!
I didn't know you thought of me before!...Tatsuya?"
"Good night, Nishikido!"
"HIME!" *pouts* "okay....go to bed...I won't bother you anymore..." *whines*
Ryo goes to the bathroom to change, jumps into his pajamas, and joins his lover into bed. But the latter takes all the place in the bed as a hint for Ryo to sleep elsewhere, as a punishment.
"Oh not you! You are sleeping in the guest room"
"Grrrr....this is unfair! Can't I share the warmness of your body? I said I'm sorry!"
"No! I still haven't quite forgiven you yet!"
"Ehhh? I thought you did...
Oh okay guess...I'll be sleeping in the guest room...where it's cold, with no silky blanket, no warm Tatsuya to sleep beside me, no addicting smell of my princess...no beautiful lover to cuddle up to...."
"You're not sweet talking your way out of this one.
Now get going!" *tTatsuya turns away and curls up under all the blankets*
"Hime?" *the other ignores ryo* "Tatsuya?!...Ne! NE! You really you want to do it this way?!"
Tatsuya raises a single hand and points to the door of the bedroom
"rofllllgrrz OKAY!!!!!!!" *Ryo forwards to the guest room and sighs REALLY heavily*
"I'm in the guest room now! I'm alone! I'm cold! I even might please myself! SO, sorry if you hear me moan you name! better close your ears tight Tatsuya!"
"Go to sleep!"
"Hmm WHAT?!!! Can I not please myself? Alone? Really?! Can I REALLLLY not? Oh Yes Tatsuya please!!! Yes Hime more give me more!!!!!!" *faking obviously*
"Go. To. Sleep!"
"OH MY GOD YES! you're so hooooot Tatsuya! Mawwwwre!"
"NISHIKIDO!! You'll be sleeping out there tomorrow night if you don't cut it and go to sleep!"
"Well I guess I'll have to please myself tomorrow night too then!"
Only YOU can stop me you know?!" *no response from Ueda*
"HELLO?!"
Then Ueda, amazed at how he could resist 'till now, proceeds to the guest room to do the only thing he can to shut Nishikido up. He punches him in the face and goes back fumming to the bedroom. The door slams and then he locks it.
"Good Night!"
"What the f*ck?! I can't believe you just punched the love of your life! Who happens to be....oh f*ck that.
Yeah yeah goodnight to you TOO!"
He then proceeds to the kitchen in hope for some ice, but unfortunately for him and his karma, there's none. "Just my luck!"
Tatsuya continues to ignore everything and buries his head under one of the pillows for the hope of silence. And falls asleep.
"Guess I'll have to properly apologize...tomorrow"
Two hours later...
Everything is silent in the house and both individuals are sleeping in seperate beds...The door to the main bedroom opens and Tatsuya walks out, slowly tiptoeing his way to the guest room.
"Ryo?" *Ueda shakes the younger male from his uncomfortable sleep* Ryo?" *shakes harder*
"scra-nya? Oh...Tatsuya...? You're not sleeping?"
"I hate you." *climbs into bed next to him snuggling against the Osakan's side*
"Oh...you're joining me here? It's not confortable here, you better go back there you know, here it's too tiny and cold, in this room"
"Nishikido?"
"hn?"
"Shut up and go to sleep"
"Mmm'kay.."
Ryo places his hand on his lover's waist and makes the latter cuddle in his chest tightly, while his other hand caresses gently the boxer's hair* "I'm sorry, Tatsuya"
"I know. I'm sorry too"
"I love you, you know that? I can't help myself, can't help who I am...I promise to try harder with this possessive and agressive me okay?
You know, you can't tell like that, but sometimes I'm insecure...
Guess I'm just a little boy around you"
"I love you, Ryo but sometimes you just.... you just make it difficult but still I love you and can't live without you, hell, I can't even sleep without you"
"Ahh ah...I'm glad you can't, it means you only are mine right? I can't live without you either, that's why it's scary..."
"Of course I'm yours alone and I do love you. I always will. I can only hope you do to"
"That's reassuring. I always will too! Can't you tell how I love you by being over protective?!"
"I just wish you would treat people a little bit nicer"
"I know...maybe I should see a therapist? To treat this, jealousy issue"
"Hmmm~ I like you being jealous"
"I know it's been hard on you over the past months, with you being more into the limelight, thus me being well, possessive"
"Ryo." *reaches to cup Ryo's face with his hands* "I love you. Don't forget it, because it'll never change, understand?"
"I know, I know Hime, I'm not insecure about you, it's about me...or well just a bit you okay.
I'm scared you would leave me if I'm becoming someone you could hate.
I perfectly know how I am with you. I've never been like this before you know, I don't think I ever loved someone like this in the past, and it scares me so much you might leave me...cause I'm being difficult, well more than that! I'm being, ...scary! I even think I could become like my character, you know the DV one?"
"I know that you aren't that person. Besides you've never been able to take me strength wise.
I've always been able to kick your ass. But, despite that, I know my Ryo. And you aren't that person. You never were and never will be."
"Well then if ever I begin to transform into that thing, I wish you'd punch me to reason"
"Don't worry. I have every intention of putting my boxing to good use if that happens."
"Good! Now that's settled, go to sleep. I'm happy we cleared that matter. But still, I think I should try and go see a therapist; it won't kill me to see if I can lessen my agressive and possessive character"
"Maybe not. But you still need to apologize to Jurieto tomorrow."
"No I think I should see one, won't hurt.
Yes I will apologize to J... how did you call HER?!"
"Ne, Ryo? we should go to sleep?"
"Okay okay sleep tight my love"
Hugging closer, both of them close their eyes thinking about the serious talk Ryo had brought, being insecure was never an issue for him before, the proud man he is would never admit it in the past, now he hopes his love for Ueda will always be returned, and decides, that tomorrow he WILL make an appointment to go see a shrink, cause he knows, someone in his family had some agressive issues that led him to jail.
But he won't tell Tatsuya about that, not now anyway...
*Tatsuya, I won't turn into him, I swear!*
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ A couple of days later ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Ryo was alone, wandering in town, thinking of coming back home, but first he tried calling his boyfriend...bu bu bu...
*The number you're dialing can't be reached at the moment, please try again later*
*tries again* ~bu bu bu~
*The number you're dialing can't be reached at the moment, please try again later*
"F*CK!"
"....he seems to be busy...just when i needed to talk to him."
Then this time it's Ueda who calls ~bu bu bu~
"Hai! About time"
"Were you the one trying to call my phone?"
"YES! Busy?"
"Gomen na~ . A little"
"Don't tell me.........you're still playing that game Taguchi gave you?!"
"Hee! I can't seem to put it down."
"God Tatsuya...have nothing better to do? Did you work today?"
"No today's my day off, remember? And you're not here.
I really had nothing to do; unless of course you wanted me to go out with Jin tonight"
"Jin? why him? Don't you go boxing usually when you're alone?"
"But I did go boxing. It was just earlier today.
And Jin invited me out with him, Kame, and Yamashita-kun."
"Okay...you, you could have gone with them you know, it's not like something bad will happen while I'm not there."
"I turned him down because I wanted to try and finish this game.
*clearly annoyed by something* Ahh~ Damn! I just died."
"Tatsuya, please focus here!...
I'm...today I went...I had some appointments with.... *hesitates* KOBAYASHI-SAN! I went and apologized to her!"
"You were nice about it weren't you?"
"Yes yes, I tell you she wasn't, scared or anything..
Actually, she told me she heard some rumours about me; me being a jerk, so she wasn't really surprised"
"Good. I don't want my boyfriend and my co-star to be at odds with each other. She forgave you?"
"Well, not really. She told me...she told me I should treat you well, or else, SHE could..steal you away"
"I really doubt that, Nishikido. But I really wouldn't mind you being a bit nicer."
"Yeah I know she can't steal you, you're gay after all. But I promised her I will, treat you better"
"Oh, how did your therapy go by the way?"
"T.....T"
"Ryo?"
"Ah huh therapy? What therapy?!"
"You were talking about it that night. I heard you. You have a really cute habit of talking in your sleep."
"God....er well, I just went to see a shrink you know, talk a bit, nothing much"
"Why did you go anyways? I thought I told you you had nothing to worry about. So why did you decide to go after all?"
"Oh eeh just you know, to see if there was any problem with me.
But in the end, you know, it's just ssssstress...Yes I'm just really tired that's all
So I'll be coming home tonight you'll be there?"
"Yep, I'll be here. Do you want me to cook dinner for you? Or do you want to worry about it?"
"NO! No you don't have to worry about that, i just told you it was only stress"
"Okay. But don't hide things from me. If something's up, I'd like to know."
"Huu eh don't worry, it's nothing to worry about.
So maybe I'll be cooking okay? Cause last time we ended up only eating crepes, and crepes for dinner is abit..."
"Hey! You still have to admit that they tasted pretty good. Even though I made a mess..."
"Well it's okay, I love doing cleaning..even if the kitchen was really a mess"
"It was even worst once we got into that water fight. That was fun!
"Well you know, flour and water equals real big mess
We could have used it for more crepes. Anyway, so I'll be there in like half an hour, I'll stop by before for some groceries okay?"
"Okay, be safe. I'll see you when you get home."
"Okidoki love! Aand stop that game when I'm coming!"
"Okay Okay! I'll save my game and turn it off."
"Ja see you in a bit!"
"Okay, bye. Ashiteru."
"Same here" *hangs up*
*Ueda closes phone and glances at clock* "I've got a little time to finish this section of the game. Yosh!"
"God how am I gonna live with this...hell, how am I telling him the truth? Tatsuya you don't deserve this..."
While the other is gleefully playing the video game...
Nishikido makes his was to the local supermarket and gets some ingredients in planning of making some hotpot, cause hotpot is nice right?
Tatsuya finally saves his game and turns it off before stretching languidly; his back pops a little from the stretch and he gives a contented groan.
After finishing with buying food, Ryo forwards to the apartment he and Tatsuya share, with in his mind, the words of advice the therapist gave him earlier on...
"Nishikido-san, you must take precautions you know, this thing you have, you better treat it as soon as possible, and possibly tell your family and friends about it; they can't NOT know, for their safety, and yours"
With that in mind, Ryo just shed a tear before entering the residence.
Tatsuya hums softly to himself as he walks into the kitchen of the apartment and pulled out a bottle of water. Taking several sips when he hears the door open.
Ryo, with one last thought "okay now's the time to use my acting skills", he slaps himself for some courage.
"Hello, Ryo-chan!"
"Hime! I'm back!"
"Okaeri!"
*Tatsuya walks into the ante-chamber and gives Ryo a hug*
"Aww you're so cute...how I've missed you today"
"I missed you too. How was work today?"
"Work? Ah yeah, huh had some photoshoot I think...with NewS..for you know, the usual"
"Well, I'm glad your day ended up fairly good. You were a little stressed out this morning. So i was worried."
"Well I was worried about Kobayashi-san for sure! I mean I don't want to harden our relationship because of my selfishness.
So...What did you do all day? Playing only?"
"Oh no! I went with Yucchi to lunch and then I trained for a little while"
"Yucchi? Oh good.and training? Good."
"Other than that...that games been taking up all my time."
"Ah ah...care to show me later how to play it? If you spend so much time on it, maybe it's interesting?"
"Okay! Sure! But come on. You haven't had dinner yet. And you need to eat."
"Yes! Say, I brought some food to make a hotpot, is that okay with you?"
"That sounds great! "
"Cool! let's prepare everything then. Bring the nabe over, I'll go prepare the ingredients"
"Okay! *opens one of the cabinets to pull the nabe out from where it's stored.*
Ryo quietly prepares the ingredients, though his mind is definitely somewhere else.
"Hey Ryo?...Ryo?"
Chopping some carrots and onions, he accidently cuts his pinky finger while eyeing his lover.
"Ryo!!" You're bleeding!"
"So it seems..." *Tatsuya completely panics*
"Calm down Tatsuya CALM DOWN! It's nothing really! Just a little bandage will do you know"
*Ueda grabs Ryo's hand and places the cut finger into his mouth*
"I heard this helps stops the bleeding" *Tatsuya's voice comes out muffled*
*looking in Tatsuya's eyes, fondly* thank you, Tatsuya, you're so...loving, and I love you. Stop being so cute would you?
I don't think this would stop the bleeding you know, only makes me ...hot."
"Here" *sighs and hands him a towel* "I'll go get the first aid kit."
Nishikido watches his precious leaving him, and for a brief moment, imagines his life, if Tatsuya was not by his side.
"You're such a loving wife you know?!!!"
"I'm not a girl!! Mou~ Nishikido." *Tatsuya comes back with the first aid kit shortly after yelling*
"fufufu~~yes you're not a girl, I know by your punch!"
*Ueda sets it on the table and opens it pulling out a bandage and some antibiotic ointment*
"Are you okay, Ryo? You're really distracted by something."
"Yes don't worry, just a little bit of blood won't kill me.
Distracted? Nah don't imagine things"
"I was calling your name before you cut your finger and you didn't answer me. And then you cut your finger."
"Oh really? "
"I've never seen you do that before."
"Told you I was tired!"
Tatsuya sighs but lets the topic drop. His heart feels heavy because he knows Ryo's lying to him, he just doesn't know about what.
"Let's finish dinner okay. Please don't cut yourself again."
"Yes I won't. It's not like I wanted to cut myself on purpose!"
"I got some of that Green Tea you like. Do you want some with dinner?"
"Thank you Tatsyua! You know how I love this brand!
Ne, I was thinking, it's been a while since we got days off together? Could we, go somewhere, next time?"
"Where would like to go?" *watches the kettle he had just set on the oventop*
"Hum anywhere would be fine" *adding beef, carrots and soy sauce to the nabe*
"I'd like to go to Kyoto with you. That is if you'd like too. I heard the temples are really pretty there."
"Kyoto? Never knew you'd like to go there? Let's then"
Oh! when's your first night in osaka for your play? I could drop by maybe"
"Nnh? April. April 2nd"
"April? That's.....far
Okay I'll, I'll try to ..wait a minute, are there any tickets left?"
"Wait a moment." *Tatsuya runs to their bedroom*
"??? Tat'..?"
*Ueda comes back with a envelope and an embarrassed smile*
"Here. I wasn't sure if you could make it. So I didn't give it to you earlier."
"Is that what I think it is?"
"Yep! A ticket to the first showing in Osaka."
*opens the enveloppe* Oh my god Tatsuya thank you! You really read my mind!
I really thought it'd be a shame if I didn't go to your play in osaka while I'm probably with Kanjani or my family at the moment"
"Well, like I said. I didn't know if you could make it. I'd like you too."
"Plus, I would like you to meet my parents...or not
Come to think of it NO!"
"Ehh?"
"They would probably be busy anway...so I want to show you my town!"
"Okay, Ryo. One of these days, I would like to meet your parents though. I'd like you to meet mine as well."
"I don't think that's a good idea though. I mean, past the whole I'm-gay-thing, I really don't know"
"Maybe one day? At least, we could hope right?"
"Aah yeah, one day, probably"
The kettle begins whistling and Tatsuya turns away to pull it off the heat; he's smiling.
"It's ready? God I'm hungry! Ah maybe you want some wine Tatsuya?"
"No. I have no intention of getting drunk tonight. If we do anything, I want to be able to remember it."
"Don't worry! You know me! I'll make you remember everything! I'm a sex god don't you forget!"
"You are so incredibly full of yourself. *shakes head and pours the green tea into a mug for Ryo*
*Ryo smirks cutely and takes the mug* "Thank you..really"
"Wah it's hot!" *burning his tongue* "So, let's dig in? I even added some sweet potatoes! I know you like their taste"
"Itadakimasu~!"
*cheerily* "Itadakimasuuuu!"
*Tatsuya nearly drops a vegetable from his chopsticks and jumps trying to catch it*
"Aah AH! you're such a clutz Tatsuya! But you're cute while doing so...just leave it, I'll clean it up later"
"Mou~ I'm sorry. And it's only one piece. I'll get it" *grabs towel and quickly wipes up the spot* "See, no worries!"
"Okay...but don't put it in back into your mouth! It's dirty!"
"What do you think of me?"
"Here" *shoves some good piece of meat in front of ueda's mouth* "it's the best part
Nothing...you're just a kid sometimes, when it comes to food...hee hee you remind me of Okura-kun for that matter!"
*eats the meat from Ryo's chopsticks and sits back thoughtfully*
"Mou~ I can't help it! And what do you mean about Okura-kun?"
"You know, he's an ogre! He can't think straight when it comes to food! And he can even washes some food that fell on the floor just because you can't waste it!"
"Sounds like Koki on a bad day."
"Oh really?!"
"Yeah Jin's just as bad but he's more into the cleaning it up as opposed to wasting it."
"Ahah well we have weird bandmates and friends...Say, we finish this and go to sleep?"
"Okay. We'll clean up tomorrow."
Tatsuya wakes up and sighs, snuggling back into Ryo's embrace before glancing at the clock. It's almost 9 and he has to get ready for work or he'll be late. He slips out of Ryo's hold but pauses and leans down to kiss Ryo on the cheek
"Good morning, Ryo-chan"
Nishikido slowly opens his eyes, although blinded by the daylight, he glances at his lover, who's currently reaching for the doorknob
"Morning sunshine..."
"You already up?"
"Yeah, I have work in an hour. Didn't mean to wake you"
"Nah it's okay, I think I have to get up too, though I don't clearly remember if I have work today"
"You don't. Today's your day off. So you can go back to sleep if you want"
"Oh really? What am I gonna do all day then? AH! I know! I can try and play your game? When you get back we can have a duel!"
"If you want to, please don't rewrite my game.. I've gotten so far..you can call Jin too.
It isn't a KAT-TUN day; it's just a Romeo and Juliet day"
"Ahah! HEY! No, nothing...tell her I say hi!"
"Okay, I'll do that. And just so you know"
"Huh?"
"I have every intention of asking her about yesterday"
"Oh, you don't trust me on this?"
"Of course not" *deadpan*
"Mou hime, you should trust me , once in a while"
*walks over to give Ryo a long kiss* "Most of the time I do. Just not when it comes to you being overly possessive"
"But it's not my fault!"
"I love you and" *looks at clock and shrieks* "I'm going to be late!!!!"
"Oh okay! Then have a good day at work Tatsuya!"
"Behave yourself, Ryo. I'll see you later tonight."
Then Ryo runs to reach the door first, grabs Tatsuya by the shoulder and holds him tightly "Love you hime, be careful outside"
"I love you too. And of course I will be. *kisses him before wiggling form his grasp and leaving the apartment*
He runs to the elevator and waves at Ryo one last time before the lift's doors close.
Nishikido sighs, then proceeds to the bathroom to take a shower, thinking what to do all day.
After minutes of hot water pouring over his body, he gets out, stops in front of the mirror, takes a good look at himself while thinking he hopes Tatsuya doesn't realize he got skinnier again.
Tatsuya gets on the train that he ran hard to get to on time. He leans against the railing in the car and catches his breath before pulling out his cell phone and dailing a familiar number.
It isn't long before the other person picks up and he smiles into it.
*Kame* "Hey"
"Do you have a moment to talk?" The phone call lasts until he arrives at his train station.
On the other hand, Ryo decides that he indeed has things to do today, apart from thinking how he's gonna beat Ueda at his new hobby.
He has to phone to Uchi for him to go visiting a mysterious person on the other side of town, needs to sleep, sleep and maybe then he can try to relax, and play.
After getting a somewhat of breakfast he dials his best friend's number, in hopes Uchi would be free today, and indeed, he is, so Ryo plans to meet with him later, maybe after lunch, cause he don't plan on talking serious matters on empty stomach, Ueda would be furious if he knew!
Tatsuya meanwhile arrives at the practice venue for the Romeo and Juliet play and enters his dressing room to remove his jacket and pull back his hair.
"Ohayo, minna~" *he goes to seek out Kobayashi-san in the idea to directly ask her about his boyfriend's actions the other day*
"Kobayashi-san?"
"Hai, Ueda-san?"
"Yesterday, did someone named Nishikido talk to you?"
"Ehh? Oh, hai! You're boyfriend right?"
"Not so loud." *hisses*
"Oh sorry."
"He wasn't mean to you was he?"
"No, he was really nice."
"I see."
"Ano? Did he tell you...?"
"Ehh? Tell me what?"
"Oh, nothing. Nevermind."
She turns to leave when the director calls her and leaves a mildly relieved but slightly confused Tatsuya behind.
During lunch, Ryo explains to Uchi why they have to go there again, after so many years, but Uchi still wants to know why Ryo is concerned. So Ryo tell Uchi it's for the sake of Ueda, cause things get out of hands, and he can't let this go, not anymore. Something must be done.
"I'm involved now, whether I like it or not, and the shrink told me it's for everyone's safety, so....
"A therapist Ryo, not a shrink"
"So? Shrink, therapist? Pretty much the same to me! They just play with your heads!"
Uchi and Ryo argue a bit about form, context and even school grades, but Uchi calms things down quite quickly, he's not Ryo's best friend for nothing.
When lunch is over, Ryo and Uchi proceed leave for the outskirts of Tokyo, and arrive at the county jail.
Someone tells them the person they're here for has moved to the nearest facility, Ryo is of course pissed off, patience is not HIS virtue, but after a while, he thinks walking just a bit more would calm him down; after all, now's not a good time to lose his temper.
Tatsuya gets a small break from practice, and goes to search ryoko down to ask her what she meant by what she had said but is stopped by his phone ringing.
He picks it up and places it against his ear.
*Kame* "Hey Tat-chan."
"Hey"
"Did you talk to him?"
"No not yet"
"I'm working right now. Haven't seen him since this morning."
"You need to talk to him."
"I know. "
"Tat-chan...If you don't talk to him you'll never know if he's really lying to you or not.
He might not be. But you think he's hiding something and the only way you'll fine out is by asking him."
"I tried but he brushed me off last night."
"Try again. Nishikido'll open up eventually. He's probably just worried about you."
Tatsuya sighed and set on the floor of his dressing room. Asking for straight answers when Ryo's hiding something has never been easy.
He spends the entire break time listening to Kame over the phone.
*Uchi* "So you think he's gonna talk to you? You think he remembers? After all these years?"
"Well I have to try right? So you're helping me or not?"
"Yes! Yes I told you I'd help, but I don't see how am I gonna do this!"
"Just, just be there okay, if I snap, just do what you do usually, okay?"
"Yeah okay...just take a deep breath okay? I'll be just behind you remember. Just don't force the words out, you won't gain anything!"
"Alright alright!"
Seconds later, Ryo enters a plain, white room, covered with photos, his family it seems...In the next hour, Ryo tries to pull off some words and phrases from the small old figure sitting in front of him...but nothing coherent comes out.
In the end, he just got some words of love, for a woman, probably the one on the photos framed on the walls...that's all. Sighing, he points the door to Uchi, "let's go"
"So did he gave you anything? Advice? Solution? T...treatment?"
"No, nothing interesting anyway...,just let's go, I'll go talk to that doctor again, later. I'll try his way."
Nishikido and Uchi leave, just like that, from the facility, that Ryo would identify as "county asylum"
After going back to Tokyo, an hour or so later, Ryo thanks his friend for accompanying him today, then they part ways. Ryo decides to just go home, naps, and play some of his lover's recent passion.
Tatsuya sighs, as he once again forgot his lines and ended up saying the wrong thing. The directors calls a break and Tatsuya takes a bottle of water sitting on the side lines, drinking several sips. Ryoko asks him if he's okay and Tatsuya merely smiles and nods before sinking back into his own world. He picks up his phone and dials Ryo's number after a minute of contemplation* ~bu bu bu~
Ryo notices his phone ringing, but after coming back from where he's been all afternoon, he does not feel like talking to Tatsuya right now, he could end up crying on the phone, and he really doesn't want that to happen.
The phone rings out and Tatsuya pulls it away from his ear and stares at the name that flashes once or twice before going out.
"Ryo, why aren't you answering? What are you doing?" *he sighs and pockets the device*
*thinking* "Sorry Tatsuya...I can't talk to you right now, not in this state"....*and Ryo starts crying, again.* "I better sleep a bit, I'll have an excuse by then"
Tatsuya's phone rings shortly after he rangs it up and he pulls it out hoping Ryo was calling him back. It isn't Ryo on the phone but rather Jin
*Jin* "Tat-chan! Hi~ Kame told me where practicing for your play"
"Yes, Jin."
"Cool~! What are you doing tonight?"
"Uhhh~well. Probably going home. Ryo's off today and..."
" Want to come out with me, Yamapi, and Kame tonigh? I'll even call Ryo and ask him to come too."
"I don't know Jin"
"Come on, Uebo! We haven't gone out in a long time. If you agree, I'll call Ryo-chan and ask him out as well."
"Alright, Jin. I'll go out with you and the others tonight."
"Awesome!! "
"We're starting again. I'll see you later. Oh where are we meeting?"
"That resturant near my apartment. You know the place?"
"The semi-American one?"
"Yep. See you there!"
*Tatsuya sighs. Agreeing with Jin just gave him a really bad feeling about tonight*
Ryo wakes up, glances at the clock "shit it's already 6! Should get on that game before he arrives!"
So Ryo pushes the power button of that playstation 2, with the Spyro game in it, and though he's a bit tired, he actually enjoys it.
"How ridiculous is that dragon! Purple! He's such a sissy!
How come he spends so much time on this?! It's eas...y! F*ck I'm dead!"
And then Ryo fails, quite a few times before Tatsuya comes home.
Tatsuya is walking down the streets to the resturant that Jin had choosen and walks in with a sigh. He sees the other three almost instantly and moves over to the table.
"I thought you said you were going to call Ryo, Jin?"
"I did. He wouldn't answer his cell phone!"
Tatsuya rolls his eyes and goes to dial his boyfriend's phone number. ~bu bu bu~
"Ooh shit!.. Hai! Moshi mosh!"
"Ryo, it's me."
"Tatsuya? Why aren't you back home? It's late you know"
"Well you see, Jin invited me out with him , Yamashita-kun and Kame. Jin said he was going to call you about it"
"Oh?!"
"He said you didn't answer"
"Did he?" *checks his missed call then whispering* "oh shit!... I didn't hear.
Sorry. I played ALL afternoon you see, and napping at one point"
"Ehhh!? How far have you gotten? Oh nevermind. Do you want to come join us at the resturant?"
"Level...2...Seriously Tatsuya this game sucks! It keeps beating me!"
"Level.........2? hahahahahahahahahahahaha"
"Oi don't laugh! And why is it purple?!!!"
"You're so cute. It's because he's a special dragon. And purple is a special color when it comes to dragons"
"Yeah weird...purple...girly dragon...perfect for you then"
"Mou~ Ryo-chan!"
"Ah ah.....so where are you exactly?"
"At that American place near Jin's apartment. Jin says you know the place, you've been there with him befor"e
"Yeah I know that place...actually I can be there in about 20 min..is that okay?"
"I'll see you when you get here"
"Okay, see you later then!" *hangs up*
He clicks his phone closed and looks at the others. Jin and Pi are fighting over chips and salsa while Kame just looks at him.
"You didn't ask him?"
"I didn't have the courage too." *he props his head on his hands and waits for Ryo to show up*
Ryo arrives almost half an hour later...having nothing trendy to wear from Tatsuya's apartment, he ended up 10 minutes late because he couldn't choose his clothes properly.
*apologetically* "Sorry I'm late!"
"That's okay, glad you're here" *Tatsuya smiles*
Ryo proceeds to sit besides his lover, and guiltily kisses him on the cheek. He then places his right hand on the back on Tatsuya, stroking it gently, while smiling fakingly to his friends.
"SO! Jin, I'm sorry I didn't hear you calling" *turning to face his lover* "you too, seems you called me too?"
"Yeah, during a break. You must have been sleeping at that time."
"Hmm probably..."
"It...wasn't important."
"Okay. "
"I just wanted to see what you were up too."
*Nishikido feels the glare Kame is giving him* "Oh Kame! What's that look you're giving me?! Don't tell me...you still don't like me? After all these years?
I know you've been protecting over Tatsuya but don't worry, I'm not like that anymore"
Tatsuya sighs and cuts kame off before he can say anything.
"I'm going to the washroom, excuse me."
Tatsuya gets up and leaves the table. After he's gone Kame finally speaks up.
"What's wrong with you?" *Ryo glances his lover get off*
"Eh? what do you mean?"
"Tat-chan's worried about you. Are you hiding something from him?"
"Huh?! No! What did he tell you anyway?!"
"He thinks you're not telling him something. And it's depressing him."
*sulking* It's nothing, really. I've been really tired these days"
"Nishikido, if somethings up you need to tell him about it."
"Besides, it's not your business Kamenashi"
"It might not be, but Tat-chan is my friend and his happiness is my business. Don't do anything to hurt him Nishikido or I will hunt you down."
"Hee like I'm scared of you...he's definitely scarier than you and.. *tatsuya comes back*
*Ryo stands up abruptly* "I'm gonna go and check on him"
*Ryo bumps into ueda* "Oh! I was gonna ..."
"Sorry." *tatsuya smiles*
"Are you okay? What took you so long? Don't tell me....you were pooping?"
"Nishikido!!!"
"Teehh eee joking joking"
*Tatsuya bites his lip* I....I want to go home, Ryo."
"Eh already?"
"Yeah....it's......" *two drunken guys come out of the bathroom and start asking about the pretty boy that had just left. Tatsuya squeaks and hides behind Ryo, without much success*
"Let's go home. Please?"
*Ryo glares at the two men* "OI! YOU! Where do you think you're looking at!
SO you wanna fight with me?!!! You think you can eye on my boyfriend !!!! GET the hell out of here you son of a bitch!"
"Ryo don't fight them. Let's just go." *Kame also stands up the two bakas looking around in confusion*
"I'm having a bad day already and you come here and ... No Tatsuya!
I have to show these" *Ryo looks at his lover, his eyes are already wet* ..."okay hime, let's just...go
Guys! Sorry, we're going! Will see you all later okay!"
Ryo grabs both his and Ueda's jackets, places his arm around Tatsuya's shoulders, then proceeds to the door.
"And you!" *glancing to the manager* "You better not welcome shitty people like this in your store again!"
"Ryo! Just............let's go. I don't want to be here anymore. Let's just go home, please?" *clings to Ryo's side*
"Alright alright....bye guys."
"I think we should leave too."
Kame follows them out with Pi and Jin following but only after Jin gave them a telling off in english.
"Bye. I'll see you later Kame. Jin." *pulls Ryo in the direction of their home*
"Hime, you're okay? What happened back there?"
"I walked into the washroom, they were already there, but I just ignored them.
They both kind of ganged up on me while I was washing my hands and starting talking to me.
The things they said weren't very nice. At least they were very sexual in a way.
I got out as soon as I could and came running to you."
Fuming like hell, Ryo snaps then runs back to the restaurant; there in front of the door, the two men from before being kicked out by the manager, saw a not so tall angry man walking right in their direction, and soon after, Ryo punches one after the other, without restraint..
"HOW DARE YOU TALK TO MY BOYFRIEND!!!!"
Ueda is startled by the sudden movement from Ryo but realizes what happened and ran after him.
"Ryo stop!" *tries to grab Ryo's shoulders*
"GET OFF OF ME! I have to teach them some proper manner!"
"Ryo! Stop! You're an idol! What will Kitagawa say about you being in a fight!?
You'll get in trouble"! *grabs for Ryo's arm again*
"You think I care?!"
And with a sudden movement, Ryo jerks off Tatsuya who ends up on his butt, right behind him...
Ryo stops ganging on the two men to realize he just hurt Tatsuya.
"Hime I..."
"Ow! You....you.... " *is horrified*
The two men, just as freaked as Tatsuya, take the opportunity to stand up and jun run away.
"Him..Tatsuya I didn't ..I'm sorry!
Oh god, what did I just do?!" *looking a his bleeding hands*
"Ryo?" *Tatsuya reaches out for him slowly*
"Don't touch me! *jerks off Tatsuya's hands* AH! I, I have to go..away "
"Ryo! *watches the Osakan run off, who leaves a very puzzled Ueda on the floor*
It takes several moments, but Tatsuya realizes he should go after Ryo only to discover that he doesn't know where Ryo has run off to and he's sprained his ankle.
"Ouch! damnit! Ryo......"
After 10 minutes of running like hell, Ryo stops in his track, and calls Uchi.
"Moshi mosh? Ryo? Ryo?! Hello....what's that? are you...phone-sexing on me?!"
"Uchi *sobs* Uchi...I made a terrible thing...*sobs more* I did it. I did IT! I hurt Tatsuya!"
"Huh? What happened? Weren't you supposed to be home with him now?"
"I ..hmm We..went out..and something happened..I snapped!...it..got out...and I ran out
I hurt him! And I left him..."
"Okay okay I guess you won't be going home tonight right?! RYO! Calm down! I'm at the usual hotel for us...same usual room, yes come here, we'll talk.."
"Thhanx Uchi I’ll be there"
Meanwhile Tatsuya's tried calling Ryo's phone only to get a busy signal and is forced to turn to his friends. He's calling Jin since his apartment is the closest.
"Hai? Tat-chan?"
"Jin, I need you to come get me. "
"Why what happened? Weren't you and Ryo going home?"
"Jin, I'm in front of the resturant. *grits teeth* And I've sprained my ankle."
"Ehh? Where's Ryo-chan?"
"Som...Something happened. Ryo isn't here right now. *he fails to hold in a sob* Just come get me, please."
"Calm down, Tat-chan. We're coming back to get you."
*Tatsuya cries from both the pain in his ankle and the pain in his heart* "Thanks Jin."
Jin hangs up the phone and Tatsuya tries to re-dial Ryo's number ~bu bu bu~
The phone rings out and no one answers. Tatsuya tried hard not to start crying thee middle of the street.
follow me to part 2
