-where we witness two styles of fighting and three types of love-making-
“Never impress Whom? UEDA!” the enraged voice bounced off the walls of the gym. The ground shook and chains clanged from the ceiling.
“Kazu-chan!” Jin struggled to get up from the floor of the ring.
“Jin!” Kamenashi Kazuya looked in horror at his beloved’s banged up body.
“Kame-chan, save me!”
“Pi? What are you…? UEDA!”
“What?” Ueda whined. “We were trying to train them into shape. Especially Jin. He’s been slacking off lately.” Ueda shifted guiltily under the younger one’s death stare. “Tell him Nakamaru.”
Nakamaru nervously avoided looking Kame in the eyes.
“Well, that is…we’re just training…no problems…let’s all go home now. OK, Kame?” he stood scratching his head.
“Not OK!” Kame glared at Ueda. “I wonder if you think I am fit enough for this group. What do you say, Tat-chan? Want to try me out?”
“OK! I always wanted to see your level too…” he agreed happily.
“NOOO! Tat-chan! We had enough today!” Nakamaru interfered.
“Nakamaru, be quiet.” Kame took off his T- shirt, neck scarf, boots, vintage jeans, designer sunglasses, various jewelry, and stood barefoot in his D&G boxers. Jin and Pi, who were slumped against each other in one corner of the ring, suddenly perked up. Kame picked up the gloves from Jin’s numb hands and put them on.
“Turn on the lights. This place is so bloody dark!” Nakamaru turned up the lights and Kame stepped into the ring with his arm raised up. “Yosh!”
Two minutes later-
“Kame! Sugoi!”
“Tat-chan!”
The two bounced around the ring light on their feet. Kame got in a deadly left hook and Ueda responded by punching him in his gut. His following jabs forced Kame to stagger back and fall on his butt.
“Kazu-chan!”
Kame was quickly back on his feet.
Ueda was getting knocked as much as Kame. He was surprised and pleased.
“Kame, You are really good today. I forgot how much you hate losing.” They rounded each other.
“It’s not about losing.” Kame gasped.
He reared back on his heel, rotated his torso… “It’s about LOVE!” …And threw a powerful cross!
Knock OUT!
“That was the most awesome punch outside of One Pound Gospel” Pi whispered.
Nakamaru ran toward Ueda and crouched in front of him, slapping his cheeks.
“Tat-chan! Say something. Please, get up…Tat-chan!” Soon Nakamaru’s tears were falling on Ueda’s chest.
“Tat-chan! I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to hit you so hard.”
“Uepi, I’ll forgive everything. Just wake-up!”
“WAKE-UP! Baaaka! Who’s gonna force me to run 2 miles in the morning if you don’t get up.”
“groan”
“4 miles” Ueda whispered and opened his eyes.
Nakamaru sobbed and covered his eyes with his arm. His shoulders were shaking in anguish.
“This is all my fault!”
“Yeah, It’s all your fault. You should keep a better check on your boyfriend. You feel guilty for leaving him alone because of your studies and end up indulging him too much. Look where it got us.” Kame complained.
Nakamaru blushed and stammered. Ueda got up and wiped his bloody nose on his t-shirt.
“Look who’s talking? Letting your boyfriend become fat and lazy…and calling him ‘Kawaii’ when he grows a belly. Talk about indulgent.” Ueda accused.
“Jin is perfect as he is! He doesn’t need to change a single hair. Just because you are bored and lonely, don’t start picking on my boy!”
They started sniping and snarling at each other.
Pi and Jin were smiling. “CAT-FIGHT!”
Sigh! > Nakamaru
Later that night -
Kame dabbed the cotton ball at the bloody lip with the most delicate touch.
“Ouch!”
“Akanishi, I wasn’t even touching yet!”
“Itte!”
“Do you want me to clean it or not?”
“Use something softer.”
“Softer than cotton. What, fairy dust?” he looked at the pouting boy.
“,,,” Jin winked.
Kame leaned down with a smile and licked.
In the next bedroom -
“Nakamaru, my head hurts.” Ueda complained.
“Lie down, I’ll get you some medicine.” Nakamaru turned to leave.
“…And an ice-pack.”
“…And some ice-cream while you are at the fridge.”
“…Nakamaru, Nakamaru!”
“What, Tat-chan?”
“Forget all that and just come here. I don’t like my pillow. I want your lap!”
Nakamaru joyfully slid his knee under Ueda’s head.
“Can you put your hand like this over my eyes where it hurts?” Nakamaru slid his elegant hands under the fringe and closed Ueda’s eyes.
“Can you sing your song again? The one without the beat box…what’s it called?” Tat-chan whispered
Nakamaru smiled. “It’s called White world.” He started humming and softly massaging the pretty head.
In yet another bedroom -
Pi laid down on the mattress and stretched out his limbs. He was so sore. He wished Kame-chan was still single so that he could call him over and cuddle. And maybe get a massage. Kame would give good massages. Didn’t he get a good look at those muscles glinting under the lights earlier today? Those hands might be small, but they sure were powerful. Pi stretched again and felt a curious feeling in his insides. He stretched his hand over his belly.
“Kame-chan…”
And lower…
"Sigh!"
Much much later -
“Hey, you never told me how the radio show went.” Jin looked down at the younger boy.
Kame started to smile and rolled his head on the pillow.
“It was so awesome but also very embarrassing! Fukuyama-san is so cool and funny. He complimented my singing and my manly parts but he also made me do my ero-ero dance and show my nipples.” He giggled.
“FUKUYAMA! YOU ARE SO DEAD!”
