July 25th 2012
Ueda was pleased he had a day off again, what he wasn’t so pleased about was the fact that he hadn’t seen Taguchi at all in six days. Taguchi had left Tokyo to do some filming in Hokkaido for his drama five days ago and Ueda had been busy with his variety show the evening before. He was secretly planning a little welcome home party for the two of them at Taguchi’s place that evening though. He glanced at the clock, twelve hours before he needed to be there to prepare. He was still laying in bed as he had no reason to get up early, but somehow he couldn’t get back to sleep either. Almost out of habit he rolled over and picked up a set of keys from his bedside cabinet, a spare set of keys for Taguchi’s apartment. He ran through them again, the key to get into the building, the key to the post box, the key to his apartment door, a key to his balcony and a key for his windows. There were two keychains attached too, one a goofy looking giraffe and the other a mouse wearing boxing gloves, he smiled as he wondered where Taguchi had managed to find such fitting characters.
His smile widened as he remembered the shy look on Taguchi’s face as he handed the keys over and his shy words “I’d really appreciate if you could call in sometime just to check on the mail and the plants and stuff...” Of course Ueda had gone over first chance he got, just to be nosy and snoop around Taguchi’s things, but other than the things he knew were there, there was no dirt to be dug up on him. Though Ueda did note, with interest, that the tingly lube was missing.
Ueda had tried to call a few times while Taguchi was away, but as Taguchi had expected there was no signal, they were filming somewhere deep in some forest and staying in the log cabins there. Still, Ueda had that night to look forward too, Taguchi’s plane wouldn’t get in until past 11pm so he had told Ueda he wouldn’t be home until likely around midnight, and not to wait up for him. Naturally Ueda had agreed and then immediately planned some kind of welcome home surprise.
He was still ironing out the final details when his phone buzzed beside him, it was a message from Maru asking if he could come over. Ueda hastily replied that he’d be happy to see him, and then he hurriedly showered and dressed. He had just shut the dogs in the kitchen with their food when Maru arrived and so he invited Maru in, and told him to make himself comfortable while he went to make tea.
“I’ve been a bit of a jerk to you recently” he started once Ueda sat down.
“Not as much of a jerk as I was.” Ueda replied.
“Maybe, but I’m kind of tired of us not talking too, I miss you.”
Ueda nodded “I miss you too, it’s not the same when we don’t go out to eat after R-one recording.”
Maru smiled “It’s not.” He paused for a short while. “I forgive you for keeping secrets from me...I was talking to Koki about it, and he made me realise that maybe it wasn’t the kind of thing you could just go round telling everyone about. And then I spoke to Kame too, and he said that you were both just trying to be sensible about it, well, however sensible you can be about...what you’re doing.”
“Thank you, I know that I could have trusted you I just...”
“Well as long as you trust me now...”
“I do, thanks Yuichi” there was a short silence in which they both sipped at their tea.
“So what’s the deal with you and Taguchi anyway? You said the other day you’re not gay...but didn’t he say you’d you know...had sex...”
Ueda considered it for a moment “I don’t really understand it. I mean I don’t think I’m gay, I see guys that I think are good-looking, but it’s not like I fantasize about getting into their pants or anything...but then with Taguchi it just...” he stopped, trying to think how to word it. “The first time it was a stupid drunken mistake, I was drunk, and horny and kind of pissed at him, and I think I might have even pushed him into it. But it was good...and we just figured if we both liked it, and we’re not doing any harm, then...why not? I mean we’re men, we have needs, and it sure beats going to clubs and trying to hook up with random girls...”
Maru nodded, “Then you’re still...you know...having sex?”
“Yeah. I mean really, we’re only doing it for the sex, it’s not like a proper relationship or anything...”
“Then you don’t...have feelings for him or anything?”
Ueda thought for a minute “I guess I do, like a little bit, I like him, and I do like his company and just being around him, and then of course there’s the physical side of it, but it’s not like...he’s not my boyfriend or anything...we’re not a couple.”
“So you’re not in love or anything?”
“We’re both trying to keep a check on our feelings...we know what our relationship is and that it can’t be more than that...we agreed if one of us starts to fall for the other then it’s over, we just stop before someone gets hurt...”
Maru nodded thoughtfully “That’s a good idea...maybe you are being sensible”
Ueda laughed “Well, yeah, we’re trying.”
There was another silence, but it was much more comfortable, Ueda found that opening up a bit to Maru was actually quite liberating.
“Isn’t it weird?” Maru asked finally, as though he’d been trying to hold the question back. “I mean it’s Taguchi...he must be the least sexy person in the world...if it was Kame then maybe, but Taguchi?”
Ueda laughed again “I know right? But he’s not like that, when it’s just the two of us he’s actually...he’s sweet, and caring and he can be pretty...seductive.”
Maru laughed “Gross” there another slight silence “If you don’t want to say then that’s cool, but who’s...you know...I mean he must be the ‘girl’ in it right?”
Ueda laughed a little again, but blushed “He was at first, but he convinced me to try it, and actually...I really like it like that too.”
“Eehh?!” Maru exclaimed in shock “Really?”
Ueda flushed darker “Hey, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.” Maru just laughed.
“He’s away in Hokkaido now isn’t he?”
“Yeah, he gets back tonight though”
“Will you see him?”
Ueda nodded “I’ll go over for a bit, I imagine he’ll be pretty tired, but he always cooks for me lately, so I thought it’d be nice to do something for him.”
Maru raised his eyebrows slightly “Cooking each other meals, and taking care of him when he’s tired...doesn’t sound like a relationship at all.”
“Shut up” Ueda retorted, though he couldn’t deny it even to himself. Still it was only because they were friends, surely friends did that kind of thing right?
Chapter 17
---------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, sorry for the really short chapter, not much really happens here but this seemed like the most suitable place to cut it off. And yeah...so Maru is ok with them now...or he's forgiven them at least, sorry, I'm too much of a wimp to leave the tension going on for too long.
