Working at one’s birthday wasn’t bad at all, Yasui thought happily as he walked towards the dressing room of the school where they had been filming Sprout. Many people had congratulated him during the day, and he had even gotten a cake from the fellow actors. On top of everything else they were allowed to use the showers at the school gym; the whole day was incredibly hot and even though Yasui had only acted in one short scene, it had to be retaken a couple of times and it felt like the sweaty white collar shirt was glued on his skin.
He had just dropped his bag on the floor of the dressing room when the door opened behind him and Tanaka Juri stepped in, his face brightening when he saw Yasui.
“So here you are! I was looking for you,” he said and searched through the pockets of his pants until he found a little cardboard case.
“Here, I didn’t want to give it earlier when there was so much hassle around. Happy birthday,” he said with a wide grin as he gave the box to Yasui who took the box, not bothering to cover how surprised he was when he raised a simple necklace from the box.
“How did you know I had been looking for something like this?” he asked but Tanaka simply winked and told him it was a secret, then starting to undress himself.
“Twenty-one, huh?” he said amusedly after a while, and laughed a bit, “I always forget you’re so old!”
“Watch your words, brat,” Yasui answered, hoping his laughter didn’t sound as fake as it was, and rushed to the shower room. He could never really forget how much older he was than Tanaka, and it made his heart ache dully. It wasn’t like four years was very much for real, and Tanaka was exactly on the same mental stage with him anyway but it still made him feel uneasy when his breath caught and heart skipped a beat whenever Tanaka was close enough to him, or as much as looked at him while smiling.
For a while Yasui really felt old, before his common sense caught his train of thoughts and he couldn’t help smiling at his own stupidity a bit after all.

The cool water felt good and washed away the sticky feeling Yasui had had the whole afternoon. He wasn’t the type to linger in the shower and was quickly ready. He opened the door of the shower to grab his towel but jumped backwards with a cry when his eyes met Tanaka’s.
“W-what are you doing there?” he stammered, trying hard to calm his surprise-quickened heartbeat and to not look at the other’s bare chest at the same time.
“What does it look like? I’m joining you,” Tanaka said simply, and handed Yasui the towel he had been reaching for, “take this, if it makes you feel any better.”
Yasui wasn’t sure if he was actually feeling better or not but he appreciated the gesture anyway and quickly wrapped the towel around his waist when Tanaka stepped into the same shower stall and closed the door.
“To be honest, I was quite ready to leave already,” Yasui started and glanced at the door, feeling a little panicky.
“Don’t worry, nobody will come here. Jesse is still filming and Chinen said he’d wait for him.”
“Uh, okay. So, what did you--”
“There’s another birthday present I couldn’t give when having all those people around us,” Tanaka said a mischievous smile on his lips, and suddenly Yasui was very aware of those lips, and how much taller than him the other was, and how close to each other they were standing in the small shower stall.
He must have looked very shocked, as suddenly Tanaka let out a soft reassuring laughter.
“Relax, will you? It’s not like I’m going to punch you or anything,” he said and grabbed Yasui’s wrists, pulling him even closer.
“Juri,” Yasui gasped but the noise was muffled by a pair of gentle yet determined lips, and Yasui didn’t even try to object to the boy’s actions but followed along, shivering when Tanaka let his hands fall from Yasui’s wrists to his hands and laced their fingers together.
“Stop looking so thunderstruck,” Tanaka chuckled when he finally took a small step backwards, “I wasn’t that bad, was I?”
“You… no, you weren’t but, um, why? I mean--”
“Because I wanted to. And because you wanted too. You’re rather obvious,” Tanaka said with a shrug and a wide smile, “Now, excuse me but I didn’t shower yet,” he continued and only then Yasui noticed it was true - the boy’s skin and hair were still dry.
“As if you didn’t have time,” Yasui chuckled; still feeling the warm tingle on his lips, and Tanaka shook his head when opening the door again.
“I was afraid you would be too quick. I had to be sure you wouldn’t flee anywhere before me,” he said as if his logic should have been self-explanatory already, “go and dress yourself already. But wait for me; I want to eat raamen tonight. With you,” he added and then he was gone.
Yasui leaned his back against the wall for a long while, blinking and staring at the wall. Then, slowly, he let the corners of his mouth turn upwards. He suddenly felt like he finally had the courage to tell Tanaka the one thing he had wanted to say for a while already.
