June 2nd 2012
Ueda had managed to avoid being alone with Taguchi for the rest of the day after his talk with Kame, it wasn’t that he was avoiding him as such, more that he needed a little time alone just to think things through before he bit the bullet and had a heart-to-heart with the younger man. With a day off the next day he’d managed to quell Taguchi’s protests by promising they could meet the next day to discuss it. He’d kind of already made plans for his day off, spending time with his neglected dogs plans, but he figured it wouldn’t be too bad to drag Taguchi along, he could always use an extra hand when his pets got too excited.
“Be ready for me to pick you up at 10am tomorrow ok? I won’t be happy if I have to wait around for you” Were his last words before he hung up the phone on the younger man, and went to sleep.
To his surprise the younger man was already waiting by the curb when he pulled up, wearing possibly the most embarrassingly bright shorts he’d ever seen.
“Morning Uepi” he smiled brightly as Ueda leaned his head out of the window.
“What are you wearing?” was his stony reply.
“Well, it’s summer...” Taguchi pouted.
Ueda shook his head “Go change...and bring a spare set of clothes too”
“Well where are we going? If I know where we’re going I’ll know what I should be wearing...” Taguchi pouted even more.
“We’re going to the beach...and that’s exactly why I didn’t tell you. Just wear something normal ok? Something you can run in comfortably.
Taguchi rolled his eyes but dashed back to his apartment anyway returning a reasonable amount of time later in a slightly more modest pair of beach shorts, and carrying a beach bag in place of his satchel.
“Better?” he asked as he clambered into the passenger seat, tucking his bag down by his feet.
“What’s with the bag?” Ueda asked, feigning disinterest.
“If we’re going to the beach we need towels, and snacks and water of course.”
Ueda rolled his eyes “Gee, why didn’t I think of that while I was planning this little trip” he said sarcastically as he started to drive away.
“Uepi...lighten up, you’re acting almost as if you don’t want me here...I’m just trying to help” Taguchi whined.
Ueda just sighed, but when he stopped at the next red light, he glanced over and felt a little guilty at the crestfallen look on Taguchi’s face. “If I didn’t want you to come I wouldn’t have invited you...I thought the company would be nice” He saw the smile light back up on Taguchi’s face and then the light turned green.
“See, you can be sweet when you want to be.”
“Shut up, I need to concentrate on driving” he snapped back, but he was smiling despite himself.
“Aren’t we going to talk about the whole Kame thing?”
“We can talk about it later...I might have changed my mind about some stuff by the end of today.”
Less than an hour later they arrived in Odaiba and Ueda found somewhere close enough to the beach to park. The dogs were jumping around in the back, excited to be out for the day in the sun.
“Get ready to catch them when I open the door” he grinned to a startled looking Taguchi, but when he finally let them out it wasn’t so bad, mostly they were jumping up excitedly at Ueda. “Come on then guys” he said finally, gathering together the leads and biscuits and bags before handing them all over to Taguchi and reaching for the cooler stored in the boot.
“Do you want to grab my bag too since my hands are kind of full” Taguchi beamed, looking almost as excited as the dogs, and so Ueda did while Taguchi headed towards the beach to find a good spot to set up camp.
“Alright, first things first, let’s get these dogs worn out a bit so we can chill out the rest of the day” He grinned at Taguchi “shall I wait here with the little ones while you take the retrievers?” the colour drained a little from Taguchi’s face. “I’m joking, you wait here...there’s food and water and stuff in the cooler, just help yourself, I’ll be back in a bit.”
Luckily Taguchi had the foresight to bring his DS, since it wasn’t until over an hour later that Ueda returned, he’d managed to keep an eye on him for most of the time though as he was just doing laps of the beach.
“Tired yet?” Taguchi grinned, passing the older man a bottle of water.
“Exhausted” he panted back “I can’t run in this heat” he grabbed a towel and a spare set of clothes from his bag beside the cooler as he tethered the dog leads to a nearby post. “I’m just going to change”
Taguchi pouted “It’s kinda hot how you’re all sweaty though...” but Ueda just laughed and walked off.
He returned a short while later, cleaner and in fresh clothes and plonked himself down beside the dogs. “You can take the little ones now, don’t go too far though, and it’s alright just to walk with them, they don’t have the energy in this heat” Taguchi nodded and set off for a short walk, returning after about 20 minutes, panting as hard as the dogs.
“So what’s the plan now?” he asked happily as he sat back down and picked up his own bottle of water.
“Let you and the dogs rest for a little while and then go find some proper food.”
“Oooh, do they have those restaurants here where you can take your dogs in? And they do special dog versions of all the food?” he grinned excitedly.
“Calm down...” but he couldn’t help a smile “They won’t be getting anything special to eat anyway, they’ll be sick on the way home.” Taguchi pouted a little, but Ueda just laughed and lay back on the ground.
As promised, a little while later they headed to a restaurant where the dogs were ushered to a separate room where they were bathed and brushed while the two ate. Ueda tried not to groan in shame when Taguchi’s excited chatter about the restaurant attracted the attention of a group of fans. Thankfully they were polite enough to just come over and meet them, then leave them in peace.
After eating they returned to the beach for a little while, but it was a very humid, though dry day and the heat was getting a bit too much for the dogs to handle.
“Maybe we should get them back home?” Taguchi asked as he filled the water bowl for the second time in ten minutes.
“Yeah, they’ve had a nice day out” and he patted the top of a worn out retriever’s head. “Come on guys, let’s get out of this heat.” And so they headed back to the car, both men stopping off to change out of their own sweaty clothes and into clean, dry ones.
“Thank you for inviting me” Taguchi smiled shyly once back behind the safety of the tinted glass windows. He leaned over and pressed his lips softly against Ueda’s just for the briefest of moments.
Chapter 8
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This chapter was originally written as filler, just to bulk out the story a bit, but then I found other stuff to write and this chapter kind of became superfluous. I was planning on cutting it out (and the next chapter too) but I hate when I watch a movie and then the deleted scenes and then think 'damn I wish they'd left that in the movie'. So I decided to leave it in anyways and the next chapter too, but I won't make you wait long between them since they're boring, I'll maybe even get the next one up tomorrow.
