March 29th 2012
Rehearsal was tiring that day, they ran through the whole performance once, then after a short break for lunch they returned to practice specific or individual parts. It wasn’t until around 8pm that they finally left for the evening, deciding to go out to eat.
Despite trying hard all day, Taguchi didn’t get to speak to Ueda at all about the event the night before. He was happy when they finally arrived at the restaurant though and he managed to subtly slip in beside Ueda, who smiled tiredly at him. In the chaos and company there was little chance to have a proper conversation though later into the evening Ueda leaned close to his ear and whispered. “I’m sorry I freaked out earlier, we’ll talk later ok, I don’t want this to affect our friendship”.
Taguchi felt a weight removed from his chest and smiled genuinely. “It’s ok, I just want us to be ok again” Ueda smiled and nodded but then returned to his meal, speaking no more.
A short while later, they all left to return to the hotel for the night, agreeing that with all the hard work that day, they could afford a lay in the next day. Ueda followed Kame and Taguchi to what was now their room. He threw his things hastily back into his bag, then turned looking expectantly at Kame.
“What, this is my room...” Kame snapped.
“Kazuya, can you just give us a few minutes...we just need to talk ok?” Taguchi pushed gently.
“Fine, 2 minutes...” Kame reluctantly agreed before leaving the room.
They stood in silence for a few moments, but then Ueda spoke first. “I’m sorry about last night, I was irritable and uncomfortable and kind of horny and I manipulated you for my own needs and I hurt you, so I’m sorry”
Taguchi laughed lightly “Stop feeling so guilty, I could have said no, you gave me the choice...and yeah it hurt a bit at first, but after that it felt incredible. I mean, I don’t think I’m gay or anything but that...I liked it, I really liked it.”
Ueda couldn’t help but smile back “It was pretty good” Taguchi’s face lit up “I mean we can’t do it again...it was still wrong”
“I don’t think that it was, as long as we can still be friends and co-workers I don’t see why it’s a problem...we’re both responsible adults...”
“Taguchi...it’s just...don’t you think its a bit weird...” Taguchi laughed in response.
“I guess a little but...well, whatever, if you change your mind...it doesn’t have to be a relationship or anything, I like that we can be friends, but if you want some fun...no strings attached, I’m willing...” Ueda cut him off with a roll of his eyes.
“Thanks, I’ll keep it in mind” he replied with no conviction. Before punching Taguchi lightly on the arm and leaving.
When Kame entered the room again he was concerned by the smile on Taguchi’s face. “So what happened...?”
“Nothing happened, he’s an idiot, he’s just been feeling guilty...it’s alright, we’re ok now” he replied lying down on his bed.
“So...what is this between you anyway?” he sat almost nervously on the edge of his own bed.
“Kazuya what’s wrong?” he leaned up, looking at the younger man in concern “Why does it bother you so much...you don’t...have feelings for Uepi do you?”
Kame looked at him incredulously “Don’t be ridiculous” he got up and headed into the bathroom to ready himself for bed, leaving Taguchi in thought.
“There isn’t anything between us...last night we were both a little drunk and it just happened...” he replied quietly as Kame left the bathroom.
“And will it, just happen, again?”
“No, it’s not like we’re interested in each other, it was just a time and a place kind of thing.” He answered a little resigned.
“Good” Kame replied for lack of anything else to say, and then there was silence until Taguchi had been to get ready for bed and climbed under the covers. “I wasn’t trying to be a buzz kill or anything, just...it won’t work out between you two, you’ll both just end up getting hurt, and then we’ll all suffer for it...trust me” Taguchi looked over at him, he wasn’t used to hearing that vulnerable undertone in his voice and it made him curious, but Kame quickly switched out the light before rolling over and whispering “Goodnight”.
