December 25th 2012
He woke up shivering, he reached out to pull the covers up over him again before rolling over to seek out the warmth of the body beside him.
“Junno?” he questioned when he couldn’t feel the other man beside him, and then when he opened his eyes he realised he was alone.
He sat up, looking around for the other man, but was a little confused initially at his surroundings, until it sunk in again that he was in Taguchi’s mum’s home.
His cheeks flushed suddenly, what had they done...in Taguchi’s mother’s house, just a room away from his mother herself. He searched around for his bag, pulling out clean clothes and then he made his way quickly to the bathroom to clean himself off.
After a few minutes of quick but hard scrubbing he switched off the water and dried himself off with a towel, before putting on his clean clothes and stepping out of the bathroom.
“Uepi” Taguchi smiled brightly, almost bumping into him as he re-entered the guest room. “Did you sleep well?”
With the sight of the other man, Ueda’s emotions finally caught up with him and when he opened his mouth to speak, all that came out was a choked gasp. He closed his eyes, taking a few deep breaths to push the memories away, then he brought out one of those fake, bright smiles he thought he’d been fooling everyone with. “Yes, thank you”
When he finally looked back at Taguchi, he looked a mixture of sad and guilty and it hurt Ueda even deeper seeing it. “Uepi...I’m sorry...”
He shook his head “Don’t, don’t apologise, you did nothing wrong...”
“But...you’re sad...and it’s because...”
“It’s because I miss you, but I know that we can’t be together, and I knew that last night, so it’s not your fault ok?”
Taguchi looked as though he was about to protest but Taguchi’s mum’s voice floated up the stairs before he had time to speak “Jun, you’re brother and sister are here, come down and say hello...” Taguchi gave one last concerned glance towards Ueda.
“I’m fine, really, just give me a few minutes to...I’ll be down soon ok?” Taguchi nodded and gently rubbed Ueda’s arm before walking past him and out of the room.
Ueda was thankful at least that cramming so many people into the small house meant there was never a dull moment in the Taguchi household. Both Taguchi’s siblings now had their own families, their partners and children, and the house seemed filled with laughter and chatter, Taguchi catching up with the family he hadn’t seen in a while.
Ueda joined in the conversations where he could, he’d met Taguchi’s siblings before, if only briefly, but they were very much like Taguchi, bright, smiling always eager to please. He tried not to think of the previous night, how Taguchi had opened his legs to him, eager to please. How he’d been just as eager to please Taguchi, hands running over all the sensitive areas of flesh, stroking hard, making them come together.
Dinner was certainly a feast, Taguchi’s mum citing ‘fattening them all up’ as her excuse for the vast quantity of food, and there was nice light hearted conversation to go along with it. They laughed at the terrible jokes from the western style Christmas crackers, and Ueda made Taguchi promise never to repeat them since they were even worse than his own jokes.
After dinner they moved on to opening presents, Ueda had made sure to bring something along, just a simple festive hamper of sweets, biscuits and wine for Taguchi’s mum, as a thank you for having him. He was surprised to receive a gift in return, a cute wooly scarf that matched the ones she also gave to her own children. But the presents were mainly an event for the children and the adults watched on as the children excitedly opened toys and began playing them.
As Taguchi joined in with them, getting down on his hands and knees to play on the carpet with them, Ueda had to admit he seemed as though he would make a very good parent one day, though he bitterly reminded himself that it wouldn’t be with him.
Taguchi’s sister seemed to notice Taguchi’s skill for amusing children too, but when she voiced aloud that Taguchi should really hurry and start his own family, to Ueda’s relief, Taguchi’s mum chipped in and reprimanded her, telling her that just because it was the life she’s chosen it didn’t mean it was the most important thing to everyone. Naturally, Taguchi’s cheery nature managed to ease the tension and within minutes everyone was happy again.
It was a long few hours, Ueda enjoyed the bustle of it all, but he felt a little relieved once it was just the three of them again. Despite not being as active as Taguchi, he seemed to be twice as worn out, though maybe not as worn out as his mother.
Together the three of them cleaned the house until it was back to its usual condition, all the extra pots washed and packed away until next year, and then they had a small snack on some of the leftovers.
“You boys will have to take some of this food with you when you go, I can’t finish all this off alone.”
“That’s alright” Taguchi beamed “Uepi and I will polish it off in no time.” And Ueda couldn’t help but smile at his enthusiasm.
“I’m going to head on up to bed now” Taguchi’s mum announced a short while later “I’ll see you boys for a few hours before you have to leave tomorrow right?”
“Yeah, we’ll leave sometime in the afternoon. Goodnight mum.” Taguchi answered, and once Ueda had bid his goodnights as well, she headed up the creaky stairs.
“Thank you for inviting me, I’ve had a really good Christmas” Ueda smiled almost shyly “It’s nice to do things a little traditionally sometimes, right?”
“It is...and speaking of traditions...I found a little something in the box of decorations” and with a sly smile he pulled out what looked like a twig with small white orbs on. “You know about mistletoe right?” But before Ueda had chance to answer he’d leaned forward and locked their lips together.
Ueda kissed him back, the tension he’d been feeling all day, the flashing images of the previous night all rising up at once to push him forcefully into it. Before he’d even realised it he’d stood from his chair and moved closer to Taguchi, only to be pulled down onto his lap by the man in question.
“Junno” he whined softly between the crushing kisses, until reluctantly Taguchi pulled away slowly, pecking his lips gently just one more time.
“Tatsuya...I have something for you...a Christmas present, but I didn’t want to give it to you when everyone else was around...” and gently he pushed against Ueda’s hips until Ueda stood up, and then after switching out all of the lights, Taguchi lead him up the stairs.
When Taguchi walked over to his bag, Ueda copied his action, kneeling in front of his own to take out the gift he’d brought for Taguchi. He’d been unsure about whether he should give it to him or not, of course he wanted to because he cared for Taguchi and wanted to show his appreciation, but with their relationship the way it was he didn’t want to make things even more complicated.
He was glad he’d bought it after all when Taguchi turned to him, holding out a small box similar to the one he was holding in his own hand. He smiled and handed over his own gift to Taguchi and with a small smile between them, they both took a seat on the futon to open their gifts.
Inside the box Taguchi had given him was a ring, it was a beautiful, feminine looking gold ring that he recognised as being from the latest Louis Vuitton collection. He took it from the presentation box and turned it in his fingers, it was the one he had been looking at, he wondered when it was, if Taguchi had been with him.
“Junno, it’s perfect...” he started, but was surprised at the expression on Taguchi’s face. He’d forgotten that he should have been awaiting Taguchi’s reaction to the gift he’d given him.
“It’s beautiful” the younger man almost whispered, and Ueda watched as he ran his fingers gently over the symbol on the front of the ring.
He cleared his throat shyly “It’s a Claddagh...” he stumbled over the strange sounding word “I heard about them when I went to England that time...” and as Taguchi held the ring closer to inspect it Ueda continued “the heart represents love, the hands friendship and the crown loyalty...they say that if you wear it with the heart pointing towards you, it’s a sign you belong to somebody.”
Taguchi raised his eyes to Ueda then “Thank you, it’s...” but he shook his head with a small smile and didn’t continue, instead he looked back down to the ring before slipping it onto his finger, heart pointed inwards “Even if we can’t be together...I think, in a way, I’ll always belong to you.”
Tears began sliding down Taguchi’s cheeks and his voice shook a little when he spoke next “I’m not the type to fall in love so easily, or so hard...usually...I can move on, but for some reason everything is different with you, it tears at my chest when you’re around, but it feels like I can’t breathe without you.”
“I know” Ueda answered lamely, his own eyes wet with tears “But you heard what Kame said...if they find out they’ll do anything to stop us from being together...by then it will just be worse...”
He could swear he felt his heart breaking with the sob that left Taguchi’s lips, too loud and desperate in the stillness of the night. “But Tatsuya...I love you...I can’t stop it...”
“Junno...” his own voice was growing too shaky now, the strength he’d been fighting to keep for Taguchi’s sake was failing him now, he could feel himself falling apart “Junno” he whimpered again, and then he was scooped into strong arms and held there as they both shook in silent sobs.

So another angst fest at the end there >_< And for anybody that's interested, these are the rings I had in mind: Ueda's Ring (which I'd be surprised if he didn't actually have since he seems to own everything else from that collection) and Taguchi's Ring (naturally as a huge Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan...I have a thing about Claddagh rings, and even though they're not like...really well known over here, I figured Ueda was more likely to hear about them in England than Japan since they're Irish in origin).
