Chapter 11
April 8th 2012
The rest of their days spent in Fukuoka had been focused on the shows, there had been some last minute sound problems, and a great deal of the little free time the members had was taken up by extra meetings and rehearsals to get around the problem.
Most of the free time they then had on top of that was spent as a group or with juniors, going out to eat or to drink, or stealing what time they could to visit the onsens or take in massages. As a result Taguchi and Ueda had only the most rushed of moments alone together, with no time to even have a proper conversation. Ueda had been thinking some about their previous night together, firstly it had been the first time he’d even paid any mind to the fact they hadn’t been using protection, not that he expected Taguchi to have some kind of disease, and he knew that he himself didn’t, but somehow he felt irresponsible for not even thinking of it. Also, the change in position had rattled him somewhat and in a few distinct but almost indefinable ways, he was concerned for how intimate it had felt, for their openness in speaking to each other while doing it, even a little troubled as to Taguchi’s knowledge of good sex positions.
He shook his head and looked around, they were already half-way through the short plane journey back to Tokyo, he felt slightly more at ease knowing Taguchi wouldn’t mind if they met up sometime while they were back. But then he also felt a little further from feeling at ease with all these nagging thoughts swimming around in his head that he didn’t particularly want to talk to Taguchi about, but that he knew he would have to if he were to find any escape from them.
“Are you ok?” Taguchi asked suddenly appearing by his side “you don’t look too good”.
“Yeah I guess, maybe just tired” he lied easily “or a little hungry”.
“I’m starving, me and Koki are going to go grab some ramen on the way back, you could come too if you like?” Taguchi offered.
“Maybe” Ueda grumbled back noncommittally, though he thought maybe being around people would perk his spirits up a bit. He looked up at Taguchi’s pouting face and couldn’t help laughing. “Fine, whatever, I’ll come with you.”
The pout changed immediately to a smile “If you wanted to, maybe afterwards you could come back to my place and hang out for a bit?” Ueda caught the meaning but there was no sign of it in Taguchi’s tone.
“Sure” he nodded back in the same tone, but secretly he felt quite giddy with the excitement of getting away with the arrangement in open company. He glanced around and realised they didn’t quite get away with it, Kame was looking at the two of them, though he didn’t speak up or try to interfere.
Once back in Tokyo they were picked up by a bus to take them back to the Jimusho building where they each picked up their own cars. Nakamaru counted himself in on the Ramen and so they agreed on a place to meet and set off.
“So what’s everyone’s schedule like before Hiroshima?” Koki asked conversationally when the four of them were seated and waiting for their orders.
“Interview and photoshoot on the 10th then Shuichi recording on the 11th and concert meetings on the 12th for me” Maru answered.
“Don’t we all have that shoot together?” Taguchi pitched in.
“I’ve got it on the 11th I think” Ueda said “I have Kyoukasho recording on the 10th, just for an hour or so though, it’s nothing special”
“Are we really going to talk about work the whole time?” Maru piped up again “Taguchi did you buy that game I told you about?”
Ueda rolled his eyes and caught Koki’s gaze who just sighed, then the two of them sat back while Maru and Taguchi rattled on about said game. Thankfully by the time food arrived they’d moved onto talking about a different game, one which both Ueda and Koki could at least hold their own in a conversation about.
By the time they had finished the meal, Ueda’s mood had soured a little. Somehow, both Maru and Koki had invited themselves round to Taguchi’s place to play some kind of video game...or maybe it was something to do with survival games or something...he’d tuned out shortly after realising there’d be another few hours until he finally got to be alone with Taguchi.
It was strange when they entered Taguchi’s apartment, Koki seemed to know his way around well enough, but Ueda couldn’t recall if he’d even been to this apartment at all. It looked similar to the last one though, small and cosy but kept very neat and clean, the decoration simple save for a collection of photos and clippings of some kind pinned to a large notice board. There was a large sofa in the main living area with a small kotatsu on the floor in front of it, and the large plasma screen on the wall opposite. As expected, there were a number of games consoles and piles of games littering the neat stand that the TV was placed upon, but other than those and a bookshelf and beanbag, the room seemed quite empty.
As he turned around he noticed Taguchi almost nervously watching his critique of the apartment. He smiled and mumbled “Nice place.” Suddenly aware that his behaviour probably seemed quite strange. Even to himself it was strange, he barely cared how neat or simple his own apartment looked, so to take in Taguchi’s in such detail...he shook his head to clear the ridiculous thoughts, if he cared to learn more about who Taguchi was as a person he could just ask, there was no need to rake over his personal belongings as though they could tell him some secret...
“You playing Pomu?” Koki asked, breaking him from his thoughts.
“I’ll watch first...see if I can get the hang of it.” He replied, not even sure what game they were talking about. He sat down at the edge of the sofa and the others piled on after him leaving Taguchi to sit on the beanbag that he placed just off to the side of where Ueda sat.
The first game they played was some kind of ‘Smash Brothers’ style fighting game, Ueda joined in for a few rounds but it was clear that the others had played the game many times before. Taguchi took pity and tried to subtly protect Ueda’s player from the other two, but Ueda wasn’t that stupid.
“Taguchi, stop trying to help me!” he snapped eventually.
“Sorry Uepi, it just didn’t seem like you were having much fun playing with us” he tried to sound innocent.
“It’s not that, I’m just not very good at it, that’s all...”
Taguchi’s face lit up, “Well anytime you want to practice you can come over and I’ll teach you!” Ueda suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, thinking it would at least be a good excuse to be spending time with Taguchi outside of work.
Eventually he nodded “Yeah, maybe...”
“Anyway, let’s play something different for now ok?” and Taguchi retrieved yet another hidden stack of games for them to hunt through.
A few racing games and a first person shooter demo later, Koki finally announced he’d be leaving.
“I wish I could stay and play longer, but the kids you know...I’ve already been away from them for so long, they’ll be lonely.” He
“I should probably go too, my dogs will be waiting” Maru announced as he stood also.
Taguchi pouted “Uepi, you’re not going to leave too, right?” Ueda laughed but couldn’t help a small smile.
“I’ll stay a little longer, but not too late, I have dogs too you know.” Taguchi nodded happily, then stood to show the others out.
Ueda breathed a small sigh of relief, it wasn’t that he didn’t like hanging around with Koki and Maru, but he had been painfully aware the whole time what he was there for. He hadn’t been particularly interested in the games they played, but had endured the few hours pretending he was enjoying it, so as not to look suspicious being there. It hadn’t been easy to focus on the games though, what with the way Taguchi got so animated and moved around so much causing his shirt to ride up and reveal small patches of the smooth pale skin along his back and side. Or the way he would casually lean forward on his knees to switch games, shirt riding up again, pants stretched tight across his firm ass, in a way that Ueda never imagined would get him so hot. On more than one occasion Ueda had found himself shuffling around, trying to inconspicuously move his legs to hide the slight hardening in his pants.
The whole time he’d been here, this was the part he was looking forward to, the part when it would just be the two of them and he could finally give in to the feelings that had been teasing him all day, but now that it was here he was slightly nervous. He wondered how it would work, where it would work...could they really have sex in Taguchi’s bedroom, in the bed he sleeps in every night...he was forced back into reality when Taguchi re-entered the room smiling slightly, but clearly just as nervous.
“I thought they’d never leave” Taguchi laughed shakily.

This chapter is kind of filler...sorry about that guys. I wanted there to be interaction between the smut, but at this stage in the story there wasn't much to be discussed...so this is what I ended up with.
