Disclaimer: I still haven't found a way to make them my slaves yet...
Summary: It was all supposed to end with the tour...but what if they can't stop? What if they won't stop? How will it affect their relationship, and their relationships with those closest to them?
June 1st 2012
When Ueda woke that morning it was to a delicious smell...and a wet tickly sensation on his feet. “Junno, stop it” he groaned groggily. But as his eyes opened he realized the tickly sensation at least, wasn’t his bandmate. “Morning Tiko” he said as he pushed himself up, but then he groaned at the uncomfortable sticky feeling in his trousers. He pushed himself the rest of the way up and walked across the living room towards the bathroom but he stopped suddenly as he spotted Taguchi in his kitchen.
“Good morning honey” the younger man smiled stupidly.
“It won’t be if you call me that again” Ueda threatened. “And are those my pyjamas?” judging by the length, there was no chance they were Taguchi’s.
“Un” he nodded happily “My clothes got a bit messy last night” and then his face turned into a thoughtful pout “I didn’t think you would mind...” Ueda rolled his eyes, and then walked away to the bathroom, he couldn’t exactly complain since it was, technically, his idea last night. “Don’t be long, breakfast is almost ready.”
Ten minutes later he was sitting clean and comfortable at his small coffee table, a delicious looking breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast sat in front of him.
“I wonder if Kame will really be back today...” he thought aloud.
“I think so...it’s not like him to take off from work like that...it had me pretty worried”
“Maybe I should try talking to him again...”
“Maybe we both should...” Ueda shrugged and continued eating.
Taguchi left shortly after breakfast so he could change at home, admittedly, the sight of him showing up to work in Ueda’s pyjamas was hilarious, but it would have raised quite a lot of suspicion. Ueda set about feeding and walking the dogs, taking the opportunity to think over what he should say to Kame.
“I’m not defending what we have because I need it or anything” he mused out loud to his dogs “it’s not like it’s a proper relationship or anything, it’s just fun and convenient...and completely harmless, so what is his big fucking problem?” He stopped to kick at some rocks for a minute “He just pisses me off you know?” He continued as he started walking again “it’s nothing to do with him, but he’s making out like it’s some kind of personal attack on him...it’s not even affecting the group! Well, when he keeps his bumpy nose out it’s not...Koki and Maru wouldn’t even know there was anything going on if he hadn’t started acting up...” he stopped and turned to face his dogs “well at least you guys are alright with it...it’s kind of nice having him around isn’t it? Feeding us all...making sure we get plenty of exercise...” he couldn’t help breaking into a silly smile. “And he’s a sweet guy, even if he is a bit dumb and annoying” he caught himself “but don’t you guys dare tell him I said that!” He laughed aloud then “Look at me...his stupidity is rubbing off on me...come on, let’s go for a run.”
He arrived at the Jimusho on time, but there was no sign of Kame, not until half an hour of stony silence had passed. Eventually he opened the door and stepped in, face a little heavily made up and his lip still swollen. “Ueda...can we talk?” Ueda just nodded and stood to follow him out of the room “Alone” he added when Taguchi stood up.
Kame led him out to the roof in silence and then they sat down together on one of the few benches out there. “First off, I want an apology for this” he said icily, pointed to his face.
Ueda nodded, he knew he had definitely been in the wrong there. “I’m sorry for hitting you Kame, we were both a little too worked up and I’m sorry that things got physical...” he looked down ashamed “I thought we were both past that”. When he glanced up, Kame’s face had softened and he was almost smiling.
“Yeah me too...thank you for apologizing though...I’m sorry I pushed you like that” Ueda nodded.
“I guess that’s the easy part over?” Ueda said after a small silence.
“Tacchan...I’ve been thinking a lot...what you said yesterday about me trying to control you, I really didn’t mean to come across like that, I just think that you’re making a huge mistake and it’s hurting me to watch...”
“It’s not your problem Kame” Ueda cut in.
“I know, please let me finish ok?” he paused while Ueda composed himself and then nodded. “I didn’t mean to come across like that, but I guess I understand how you might have gotten that impression...so I’m sorry for that...I don’t want us to fight about it anymore, so...” he could sense Ueda was about to butt in again “just wait, please...so I’m not going to try and tell you what to do...and I’m not going to get in your way and cause problems, ok? But I’m going to ask you, as your friend, as Taguchi’s friend, to think about what you’re doing.”
“We know what we’re doing...” Ueda cut in again impatiently.
“I don’t think you do...Please, just think about it seriously ok? What is your relationship? What was it when this started? Has it changed? Could it change? If you keep doing this...what will it be in a year’s time? What will it be if you stop? Whether it changes for better or for worse, can you pretend like nothing’s changed? For the sake of your career? For mine? For Koki’s and Yucchi’s? And is it worth it if you can’t?”
Ueda was dumbstruck...he thought he knew all of the answers, but Kame had so many important new questions.
“Kame...I know you’re concerned, and now I get why, but I don’t think...” he cut himself off as Kame started shaking his head.
“You don’t need to answer to me Tacchan...it’s none of my business” he smiled grimly “But please think about it seriously ok?” Ueda nodded, something about Kame’s demeanor making him feel emotional, the other man really wasn’t just trying to spoil their fun.
“Thank you Kame” he said eventually, voice thick “You’re a good friend, you know I love you right?” Kame laughed but there were tears sparkling in his eyes.
“Stop it, don’t get all mushy on me or I’ll cry” he complained but the tears were already spilling and Ueda grabbed him, pulling him into a tight hug. “One more thing...if you decide to keep going with this...you will be subtle about it right? Even if you decide you can handle it, Johnny-san might not feel as confident...”
“I promise” and he released the other man.
“Come on then, we better get back to rehearsals...you can tell Taguchi about all this later, I just figured Koki and Yucchi would feel left out if we dragged him out as well. Ueda nodded and they headed back inside to join their group.

Sorry guys...I just couldn't do it...I couldn't have the whole Kame/Ueda/Taguchi fight lasting too long, I like it better when they're all friends. So yeah, I'm sorry if it feels like I ended the little feud too quickly...but there was really no way to drag it out and then have things just go back to normal...I hope that's ok...
