Kame sneezed and coughed as he entered his apartment. It was already ten in the evening and he just got home from work. He had a Going! recording in the morning then he headed straight to Ore! Ore! location for filming. He set down all the stuffs he had on the couch and proceeded to his bedroom. When he saw his bed, he just crawled under the blankets and slept. He didn't bother changing as he was too tired to move around and he felt dizzy.

Ore! Ore! filming finished around eight but Kame was asked to stay as the producers and the director wanted to discuss what will happen on their next filming day. Kame never complained. It wasn't in his nature to complain no matter how exhausted he is. To him, every job offered is a blessing and he is always thankful that people trusts his talents. When their meeting ended, Kame packed his bags and got ready to leave but one of the ADs showed up.
"Kamenashi-san, can we please have just a few minutes with you?" the AD asked.
"Sure. What's this about?" Kame said. He could never turn down any request.
"The movie stylists wants you to try some costumes for next week's filming. Is that alright with you?"
"Yeah, where are they?" Kame asked.
The AD excused himself for a while then called in two girls carrying a handful of outfits.
"Good evening, Kamenashi-kun." The girls bowed greeted. Kame did the same.
"Are these the the outfits you want me to try on?" Kame asked.
"Yes."
"Oh. Didn't think it'll be this much but never mind. Which one do you want me to try first?" Kame asked as he put down his bag again.
The two stylist looked at each other.
"Uhmmm, Kamenashi-san?"
"Yes?"
"We know it's already late and you're tired so if you want, we can let you take the clothes home so you can just fit them during your free time." One of the stylist said.
"Eh? Really? Are you sure?"
"Yes. We'll just get it back from you next week. That is if you're willing to carry them home."
"Sure. I brought my car so there won't be any problem." Kame said.
The two stylist accompanied him to the parking lot and helped him put the outfits in the trunk. They thanked each other and Kame drove himself home.

*Ding Dong*
Jin stood and waited in front of the door waiting for Kame but the younger one did not answer. He took out his phone and dialed Kame's number. Still no answer. He was starting to worry so he fished out a bunch of keys from his pocket.
Before he left KAT-TUN, he asked their manager to give him a duplicate of Kame's apartment key and the manager gave in as long as he promised to only use it for emergencies.
"This counts as an emergency right?" Jin asked himself.
He inserted the keys on the doorknob and turned it to let himself it.
"Kame?" He called just standing by the door.
Nobody answered. He looked around and noticed the lights were on and a lot of stuffs were on the couch. He knew Kame was already home.
Jin quietly looked for the younger man. He went to the kitchen, checked the bathroom and finally decided to check the bedroom.
He carefully opened the bedroom door and peaked inside. Kame's lamp was on so he let himself in. He found the younger man, lying face down on the bed still wearing his work clothes and shoes. Being with Kame for years, he has already memorized the younger one's routines. He knows that what Kame hates the most is going to bed without a shower. For Kame, his bed is his sanctuary. He only sits on his white linens when he is fully bathed and ready to sleep and for him to just slump on top of it with his shoes on, Jin is sure that Kame isn't feeling well.
Jin held Kame and turned his face up. He fixed the younger man on the bed and placed a pillow behind his head. He took off Kame's shoes and loosened his shirt. He then brought his hand on Kame's forehead to check if the younger man is having a fever. Kame is a little hot so Jin grabbed a small towel and run it through the faucet before putting it on Kame's forehead. Kame shifted and groaned when he felt the cold towel. He half opened his eyes and instantly saw Jin.
"Jin?"
"Yeah, it's me. Go back to sleep, you have a fever." Jin said as he fixed the towel on Kame's forehead.
"But--what about you?"
"Don't worry about me, Kame."
"Food~"
"I'm fine. I already ate."
"No, for me. I'm hungry~" Kame said.
"That's a first." Jin murmered.
"What?"
"Nothing. You haven't eaten?"
"I wouldn't be asking for some if I have."
"Oh, yeah. What do you want to eat?"
"Some soup will be good."
"Miso?"
Kame nodded and closed his eyes.
"Okay. Here, eat this while I figure out how to prepare some" Jin said and handed Kame a pack of oreos from his bag.
"Thanks" Kame murmered.
Jin leaned closer and gave Kame a kiss on his head.
"Sure. Anything to make you feel better."
Jin quietly went out the room. He headed straight to the kitchen and checked the cupboards for ingredients but found it empty. He checked the refrigerator and all he found were dozens of canned espresso tea and some cold rice. He checked the time: 11:30pm. This used to be the same time that he and Kame goes out to get some snacks at the konibini across the street after work.
Jin sighed. There was no way he'll be able to buy ingredients in that konibini without being noticed by other customers. It's a Friday night and ever since news about him and Kame shopping together leaked, a few fans had been gathering every now and then to see if the articles were true. Both him and Kame decided not to go back to that konbini to avoid more rumors.
He looked out the window to see how much people are going in and out of the konbini. A lot. He sighed again. He sat on the couch and found the dozens of costumes beside him. Being a curious cat, he checked the outfits. They were all different from each other. He found some elegant suits, a glittery trench coat and some hippy clothes. He raised an eyebrow when he found a couple of dresses. Some short, some long, some looked conservative while a couple looked like it came out of an erotic novel. He found a duffel bag on the floor and decided to explore it too. He got different kinds of wigs. Mostly for women but there were also some for men. Dozens of accessories were bundled together and different types of moustaches were in one container. Jin soon figured out that all these stuffs were for Kame's Ore! Ore! role.
He was starting to put back all the stuffs when he had an idea. He rummaged through all the outfits again. He found a stripped polo shirt which he wore on top of his orange tank top. He took off his jeans and changed into some cargo shorts. He grabbed the blue hooded blazer sitting on top of the coffee table and tried it on. It fits his outfit so he decided to wear it too. Next, he looked inside the duffel bag for a wig and found one that looks like the hair of one of those Abercrombie and Fitch models. He tied his hair into a bun and tried on the wig. He stood infront of the mirror.He looked good but he still gives of the Akanishi vibe. He stared at himself for a few more minutes then figured out what he needed to do. He hurriedly went to the bathroom and grabbed Kame's razor. He's been sporting his facial hair for months now and he thought it was time to get rid of it.
He wiped his face clean with a towel and looked at himself in the mirror again. He looked really different. It's been ages since he's seen himself without a goatee. He nodded in approval.
"Jiiiiiiiin~~"
Kame called out as he pulled his blanket closer to his shoulder.
"Oh, yeah! yeah! I'm going out to buy some ingredients!" Jin shouted back.
Jin grabbed his glasses wore it. He just heard Kame grunt.
He made his way out of the apartment. He rode the elevator and the girl standing next to him just stared. He prayed that the girl won't recognize him and when they reached the ground floor, he dahsed out of the elevator and walked out of the apartment building.
Jin crossed the street and entered the Konibini. As expected, it was a little packed. A lot of girls were walking around the store giggling with each other while some of the guys were busy picking some alcohol to drink for that night. Jin felt nervous as the number of stares seems to increase but he was relieved when he heard the girls say that he looks "super kakkoi" and "he looks like a model!". He doesn't mind all the attention as long as they don't see him as Akanishi Jin.
He grabbed a basket and looked for all the stuffs he needs. He grabbed some tofu, dashi soup stock, miso paste and some wakame. He headed straight to the counter and paid. One girl tried to talk to him but he walked out of the konbini as soon as he got his change.
Jin headed straight to the kitchen when he reached Kame's apartment. He took out all the ingredients he bought then washed his hands so he can start cooking. It didn't take long to cook the soup. He just boiled the stock then added the miso, tofu and the wakame. He stirred it gently before turning off the heat. He remembered the cooked rice inside the refrigerator and decided to heat it. He popped it in the microwave and when done, he scooped some in a bowl and scooped some miso soup onto another one.
Jin was busy preparing for Kame's meal that he didn't notice that the younger man got out of bed. Kame was so hungry that he decided to check on Jin. He was walking towards the kitchen as if half asleep and when he found Jin, he approached him and hugged the man from behind.
"Eh?" Jin was surprised when he felt someone put his hands around him.
Kame moaned as rested his head on Jin's back.
"Hey, What are you doing?" Jin asked as he tried to face Kame.
"Don't move." Kame said."
"Why?"
"Let me stay like this for a little longer."
Kame snuggled on Jin's back and hugged him tighter.
"Uhh, Kame?"
"Shhhhh."
Jin grabbed Kame's hands, took them off his waist and turned to face the other man.
"Kame, what are you---" Jin was still talking to Kame but the younger one pushed him away.
"WHO ARE YOU?!"
Kame yelled still backing away.
"Kame, relax."
Jin tried to approach Kame but the latter ran to the living room. Jin followed and saw Kame holding a baseball bat ready to swing at him.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!!!!" Kame asked again holding the baseball bat really tight.
"Kame, put the baseball bat down." Jin said as he tried help Kame calm down.
"NO! WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU HERE?!"
"Kame, it's me!"
"WHAT?"
"It's me! Jin!"
"Stop playing with me!"
Kame tried to swing his bat to hit Jin.
"Hey! Hey! HEY! IT'S REALLY ME!" Jin said and immediately took off his wig.
Kame stood in the corner, stunned.
"Kame?"
The younger man just blinked at Jin.
"Kame? Hey!" Jin called again.
Kame walked up to Jin.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!" Kame screamed and still hit Jin with the bat.
"Ouch! Hey!"
Kame slumped on the floor on his knees.
"What the hell are you wearing, Jin?" Kame asked. He has already calmed down but he was still a little short of breath.
Jin kneeled in front of him.
"Did I scare you? I'm sorry. Well, I bought some stuffs at the konbini for the miso soup and decided to use some of your Ore! Ore costumes for my disguise." Jin explained.
"You should've told me."
"I'm sorry. But you were resting so I didn't want to bother you." Jin said and patted Kame's head.
Kame sighed and wiped his sweat with the back of his arms.
"Come here." Jin said as he grabbed Kame's hand and pulled the younger man towards him to embrace.
"Sorry I scared you."
"I'm okay now."
"Still hungry?"
"Of course."
Jin helped Kame stand up and accompanied him to the kitchen. He served the miso soup and rice and Kame happily ate it. He even asked for a second serving of the soup.
When Kame was done eating, Jin told him to get back to bed as he cleaned up the kitchen.
"Jin?"
"Yes?"
"You look great in that outifit" Kame said.
Jin just smiled.
"I'm surprised something fits you in those clothes."
"Eh?"
"Maybe the stylist got my size wrong."
"Hey!"
"Just kidding."
Jin continued to clear the table and Kame just stood a few steps away from him.
"Uhhhm, Jin?"
"Yes, Kame?"
Kame played with his foot.
"What is it Kame?"
"Can you stay?"
Jin smiled again.
"I will.For as long as you want, Kame."
Jin said and smiled at Kame. The younger man had a smile on his face when he crawled back to his bed and closed his eyes. A few minutes later, Jin joined him in bed and looked after him the whole time.
