[#1] Maybe...

[tinyangl]

...I'll start counting! :D Starting with the one after 500. LOL. Although, now that I think of it, it may be a little less considering I had a couple of private entries and blahblahblah. Either ways. 501!!! *excited* How long do you think it'll take me to get to 1000? Another year? *grins*

Some things to note:
- Ryo/Tego Interview. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OH GOD. OH GOD. The hilarity. And apparently Santa Claus comes from Finland. God!Tego said so, and we all know he speaks the truth. XP
- akirashocksubs has released again!!! This time, three PVs and the first Ueda Shokura. It's over here. Also, our forums are open to the public! :D Exciting, ne?
- Also, I helped out with 39_fansubs and they released a batch of Kinki Kids PVs! :D The post is over here. :D They are seriously adorable. LOL. Especially Cinderella Christmas - Thumbwars ftw!!! :D
- And ohmygod, are those fancams!!! :DDDD Um. It's not the best quality, but A;SLDKFJASLKFJDA OHMYGOD, GOMEN NE, JULIET. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. HE RIPPED OPEN HIS SHIRT. TALK ABOUT WIN.
- If I'm going to keep linking to stuff, might as well go all the way. superlover wrote this awesome Ryopin over here.
- je_holiday is over today! *tear* But awesome fic was posted today - Hi Pin! *_______________________________* - and guh. I can't wait to see who wrote what. I saw this meme thing going around. For the first person that guesses which one I wrote, they'll get a ficlet all for themselves (as though I don't have enough to write. LOL.) And the ones who do know because I told them do not count. 'Kay?

Holiday Fic:
Technically I started this way before I had the idea to write holiday fic, but it's ShigePi and Rhey/4_03_am has been really adamant on the fact that there should be more ShigePi (I whole-heartedly agree) and well... I'm surprised nobody has written about Shige's birthday, so I took it upon myself to do as such. ~_~;; So this is for 4_03_am. (No porn, sorry dear.)
ShigePi, 1551 words, PG-13

It's for his birthday - that's what Yamapi tells him anyway and Shige rolls with the punches just as well as the next person, so he doesn't question it. He badgers the other members, asking them if they're coming with, but one by one, each of them give them reasons for their absence. It bothers him that each of them give him another day they can hang out and give their apologies sincerely, but Shige is stubborn and a little pissed, and extremely unsure of himself.

"So you're telling me," Shige starts, his voice filled with his incredulity of the balls of his best friend for canceling the day of his birthday, "that you can't make it because Nyanta needs to be taken to the Vet?!" He watches as the look on Koyama's face drops and a frown forms on his lips; Shige starts to feel a little guilty but then reminds himself that it's his birthday and Shige hadn't canceled on Koyama.

"Nyanta's really sick!" Koyama insists. "I thought you'd understand. What if Nana was sick?!"

Shige is stricken at the thought, his stomach dropping as he realizes just what Koyama's saying. "I know," Shige mumbles, looking down as he feels his embarrassment. "It's just... It's Yamashita-kun. What am I going to talk to him about?"

Koyama laughs, clapping a hand at the curve of Shige's back, "It's okay! Just give him a few drinks and he'll take the conversation over himself."

Shige's dubious, but he files it away in his head anyway - he never knows what could help him.

~*~

It's awkward between them at best - at worst, Shige feels as though he is not worthy of even keeping Yamapi's company. For one thing, Yamapi looks beyond bored and it's only his second shot and they've found themselves in this suffocating silence with no way out.

"How's filming?" Shige asks.

"Good," Yamapi answers.

"That's good." They both take another drink and Shige cringes as the alcohol makes its way burning down his throat.

"I can't believe people actually like this," he mutters to himself, throwing back another shot - one that Yamapi had pushed in his direction; Shige couldn't possibly turn him down.

Yamapi laughs loudly - hearty and full. "They don't," he tells Shige; Shige raises an eyebrow and Yamapi has to laugh again. "It's the effects after one drinks that people are looking for."

"...Acting drunk?"

"Egg-xactly," Yamapi answers, throwing back another shot.

"Like talking to people you don't usually talk to?" Shige stares at Yamapi, his eyes piercing into the older male's.

Yamapi doesn't even skip a beat. "Like that."

Shige frowns, but Yamapi's grin tugs at his heart and he's not sure he can be angry for too long.

~*~

"So will you be taking Tegoshi out for his twentieth birthday?" Shige asks.

Yamapi looks at him strangely, "I hadn't planned on it." His fingers drum a random beat on the counter of the bar and Shige thinks that it may just be the beat to Gomen ne, Juliet, but then he realizes what Yamapi had just said.

"Wait, so why me?"

"Why not you?" Yamapi counters, taking a sip of his drink and looking at Shige with wide, blinking eyes and plump red lips.

Shige can't stop staring long enough to reply. "Because..." Shige freezes. He really can't think, not when Yamapi's staring at him with an expression that makes him feel like Yamapi's stripping him of all his defenses. "It's me," Shige finally manages to say.

Yamapi blinks at him, licking at his lips in a way that makes Shige think he spends too much time with Jin, and says simply, "Exactly."

Shige thinks there's some profound conclusion reached here, but he can't quite pin it down. He doesn't have the chance to as Yamapi immediately changes the topic on him and all thoughts on the topic are wiped from his head.

~*~

"Nishikido-kun's afraid of cockroaches?!" Shige exclaims, almost sputtering out a mouthful of alcohol.

Yamapi laughs hard, slapping a hand against his lap. "He's had this fear since he was a child and one time when he was at my house, it was late and he had woken up the entire household because he had had a dream that cockroaches were engulfing him in his sleep."

Shige nearly chokes on another mouthful of alcohol, instead swallowing in a rush and any previous burning from alcohol has since died after his last couple of sips. He's sure his head is drowning in this fog, but Yamapi's loud voice is keeping him sane and awake and it's exactly what he needs right now.

"I even once put a fake cockroach on his bed to scare him," Yamapi tells Shige proudly, jutting his chest out proudly.

Shige claps his hand over his mouth, to simultaneously show his surprise and to stifle the laugh that he's sure will come out of his mouth. "Did he buy it?" Shige asks in awe.

"Of course he did!" Shige thinks he likes the twinkle in Yamapi's eyes when he says that.

~*~

Shige falls out of his chair at one point, giggles shaking throughout his entire body. He stumbles forward on the bar stool towards Yamapi, catching his hand on Yamapi's shoulder to help him regain his balance - it doesn't quite work because Yamapi stumbles out of his chair in reply, landing harshly on his feet. Shige bursts into a new fit of giggles, but Yamapi pulls back harshly, looking at Shige in surprise - as though he's realizing something, or that's what Shige gathers from the look on his face. "Yamashita-kun?"

Yamapi's eyebrows furrow together as he stumbles backward, knocking into another bar stool. "I need to use the bathroom." He quickly dashes towards the restrooms, albeit stumbling along the way, as Shige stares at his back in confusion.

If Shige had been in the right mindset, he'd've let it go.
If Shige had been in the right mindset, he'd've ignored the lingering awkwardness between them when Yamapi came back.
If Shige had been in the right mindset, he'd've let Yamapi go to the bathroom in peace and not given it a second thought (until he went home anyway).

Shige, however, was most definitely not in the right mindset and so, seconds later, he finds himself inside the male's bathroom and Yamapi standing in front of the sink, drops of water falling from his face as he stares into a mirror. Shige blinks, staring at Yamapi who hadn't yet noticed Shige's presence. Shige watches as Yamapi shakes his head, water dripping down his forehead and slowly making trails down his cheeks and falling off his jaw. He's glistening in Shige's eyes from all the water and Shige blinks furiously to stop everything from shining - but it's not just Yamapi, everything in that room is brighter than he's used to, but he chalks it up to the fact that they had been sitting in a very dimly lit bar.

Yamapi turns and jumps back in surprise, "Shige." His hands clutch the porcelain sink behind him, blinking. "What're you doing here?"

Shige throws him a dry look, acting calmer than he actually felt. "It's a bathroom."

Yamapi pushes off the sink, his balance back and glares, "I mean, who's watching our things?"

The inside of Shige's mouth goes dry and he stares at Yamapi for a long moment before going, "Oh." Yamapi heads for the door, the same door that Shige is currently blocking with his entire body, and nudges Shige's still frozen body. Shige blinks up at Yamapi's semi-pissed face, but it doesn't seem to register to his head that he should move. "Wait," Shige says instead, "Wait." Yamapi raises an eyebrow, but doesn't say a word. "Why'd you run?" Shige asks, the words spilling from his mouth without thought; he's still blinking, his heart constricting as he waits for Yamapi to answer, anxious and excited all in one small package.

There's a long pause before Yamapi can ask, "What?"

"I touched you, right?" Shige says more than asks - as though he's piecing the whole thing together at that moment. "And then, you looked at me funny. And ran off. Why?" He tilts his head to the side and stares at Yamapi.

Yamapi stares back at him, before pushing Shige against the door - even though it's a short distance, the impact stings - and presses his lips against Shige's. Shige's still blinking, staring into Yamapi's lidded eyes and he's not sure what he should be doing - should his hands be somewhere, should he be kissing back - was there some sort of protocol to be followed? Yamapi's tongue tries to pry Shige's lips open and, out of sheer curiosity, Shige lets him in. At the feel of Yamapi's tongue seeking refuge in his mouth, Shige's eyes finally close, his hands circle around Yamapi's neck and he gives just as good as he gets. Shige thinks that maybe he's found the answer to his own question - Why him? - and he quite likes the answer.

When they separate, Shige breathes before blinking back at Yamapi. "I still don't get it." Yamapi stares incredulously before a small smile grows on Shige's face. "You're going to have to explain further."

Yamapi pauses before laughing. "And I thought you were the smart one."

Shige smiles, "Not at everything. I guess you can fill in the gaps."

Yamapi leans his forehead against Shige's, "It'd only be right."

Shige thinks this birthday is definitely his favorite.


Ah~ The ending got away from me again. But I hope you're okay with it though, Rhey. :D
I had something else to write, but I can't remember... Eeeeee, I'm joining in on the One Hour Challenge tonight! I hope it'll go okay. @.@

:D :D:D

がんばって、カミカちゃん！ I might be there at the chat room later if I get back from dinner on time. So, maybe I'll see you there. ♥

(Ryo)ShigePi, your choice, whatever you like, as long as it mentions something about (first times) girls, and a flustered Shige.

I knew you'd come around. I'll take back the hate and we can go back to being OTP now. ♥♥

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

Ouch. We can only be OTP if I give you fic?? What am I getting out of it? *pointed look*

(Your request is actually really simple. *already thought of something* ...The beginning anyway. XP)

A little RyoShigePi, a lot of fail.

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

Might as well do this now. I feel like writing more anyway.


Ever since Shige's birthday, Ryo noticed an increase in the amount of times Shige and Yamapi went out for drinks - so much that it was starting to freak Ryo out a little.

"What, is it help the little people month?" Ryo snaps when Yamapi breaks the news to him that he's going out with Shige again.

"No," Yamapi says, not missing a beat, "If it was, I'd be helping you." Yamapi doesn't duck in time to miss Ryo's hand. "If it bothers you so much, why don't you come along?"

"What? And sit in insufferable silence? I'll pass," Ryo grabs his hat from the table before stuffing it on his head.

Yamapi laughs, before putting his arm on Ryo's shoulder and pulling him out the door. "If all our drinking nights were filled with silence, do you think we'd do this over again?"

Ryo gives Yamapi a sideways glance before commenting, "You have been sleeping with him, have you?" Yamapi gives him a crinkle of a smile before they step out the doorway and he turns away, ignoring Ryo's question. "Pi, come on," Ryo asks, almost whining.

They run into Shige not too far from the doorway where he's leaning against a wall and fiddling with his I-pod. He looks up, taking out one of this earphones. "Yamashita-kun!" He blinks at the sight of Ryo, "Nishikido-kun, are you coming too?"

Just as Ryo's about to say no, Yamapi says much quicker, "Yup! Ryo-chan's been feeling neglected."

A smile grows on Shige's face, "Well, I hope Nishikido-kun will enjoy our company tonight."

Ryo thinks he wants to make a joke about this, but when Shige's smiling shyly at him and Yamapi's nails are digging into his shoulder, all he can do is smile back - with a bit of struggle though.

~*~

"No insufferable silence my ass," Ryo snaps over his cola - he'd opted out of alcohol in hopes of catching something, like watching the wild in their natural habit. Shige and Yamapi, though, had alcohol in front of them but that didn't help matters at all.

"You keep glaring," Shige cries, burying his face with his hands. Yamapi pats Shige sympathetically on the back as he looks up to glare at Ryo.

"And I'm not getting laid. Worse night ever," Ryo mutters into his drink, as he looks up at a still fearful Shige and a pissed Yamapi looking in his direction.

~*~

The air between them becomes a little more comfortable as they finally find a conversation that they agree on. "My first date was to a movie," Shige starts.

"Lame," Ryo immediately interjects; Yamapi throws him another glare.

Shige purses his lips, "I got half-way to third base." Ryo looks marginally more impressed.

"On your first date?" Yamapi asks, twirling his straw around in his drink.

Shige flushes, "Yeah, she was kinda..."

"A slut?" Ryo interjects, smirking.

The glare on Shige's face doesn't at all compare to the one on Yamapi's, but it's a good enough try. "Excitable, for lack of a better term."

Ryo laughs, "Another way of saying slut, but a little more discrete."

Continuation~

~*~

"You did it in the backseat of a truck?" Yamapi exclaims incredulously; with the alcohol running through his body, he ends up being louder than he normally would.

Ryo tries to shush him, but with Yamapi's gaping mouth and Shige's guffaws beside him, he has better luck at stopping an elephant stampede. Instead, he slumps back into his chair as Yamapi adds on, sounding a little amazed, "Was it difficult?"

"You sound like you've never had car sex before," Ryo snaps.

"I have! It's just... a truck!" Yamapi looks distant, as though he's imagining it and Shige still hasn't stopped laughing.

"What the fuck's so funny?" Ryo snaps in Shige's direction.

Shige giggles, then blinks at him with wide, innocent eyes, "A truck's a good place for a fuck!"

Ryo stares before turning to look at Yamapi, "Always this loose-mouthed when he's drunk?"

Yamapi blinks at Shige before pride and amusement flitters through his eyes, "Yeah, but not to that extent."

~*~

Towards the end of the night, Ryo's a little more comfortable in their presence - Yamapi and Shige, surprisingly, have this banter back and forth that Ryo wouldn't have expected from Yamapi, of all people. He's used to Shige being smart-mouthed with him, but it's a change to see him with their "leader."

"I'm sure Yamashita-kun wouldn't mind me crashing at his place," Shige says, half slumped against the table.

Yamapi yawns, glancing at his watch and flinching at the hour, "Ryo-chan lives much closer." He looks up at Ryo who's staring back at them in surprise.

"No way. No. I am not letting your drunk asses through my doorway!" Ryo snaps.

They somehow manage to convince him - it's nearly 5 in the morning after all - and Ryo opens the door into his apartment, Shige being carried on Yamapi's back as the older male stumbles inside. Ryo sighs as Yamapi unloads Shige onto one of the couches and himself on the other, a hand already over his eyes.

"Ryo-chan, thanks for this," he yawns and within seconds, Ryo realizes that Yamapi has already fallen fast asleep. Ryo grumbles as he moves to put blankets over his two bandmates before trudging into his own room.

He had to admit though - it wasn't half bad an evening. He just hoped that next time, they'd go to a bar nearer to one of their homes and someone with a larger bed. Ryo smiles as he goes to bed, dreaming of first times and trucks.

[thunder]

a;dsl'als'd;la'ld';alsas;dlk;alks I love the opening exchange between RyoPi! And then Shige gets to third base on his first date! Ryo does it in a truck! (Yamapi's first time was with his best friend!)

I FEEL SO SPOILED AND LOVED. ♥_♥

Re: Continuation~

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

That's because you ARE spoiled. And Loved. Definitely loved. *laughs*

[thunder]

You are far too generous and lovely for entertaining my whimsies. I don't know what to say.

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

"Kamika, I will finish that Yamapi/NewS fic for you."

[thunder]

...Excellent suggestion. I will keep that in mind. Next time you render me speechless by something like this, I'll attempt to say that.

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

Attempt to say and follow through?

[thunder]

Possibly.

Don't you love it, this thrill of not knowing whether I will or not, and if I do, when will I...?

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

I'd rather have the thrill of knowing you'll do it, and THEN when. *nods nods* Feels much more exciting.

[thunder]

Wrong answer. >3

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

There is no such thing as wrong answers when it comes to fic, unless the answer is "No, I won't write it" then those answers are totally not allowed. And thus nobody hears them, and so it's always a "Yes"

[thunder]

Oh, is that so?

Q from R: Hey, Kamika, will you write me a RyoPi fic now? Something to do with being on the road during con, going out to eat, sharing a hotel room, etc. , etc.? First time hook up?

A from K: Yes.

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

I'll thinka bout it.

[thunder]

Well now, that's not what you said. You said the answer was always a "yes."

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

Only if the answer you're trying for is a "No."

[thunder]

I haven't the slightest clue what that sentence means, okay. You're just going back on your own word. Whatever.

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

I have no idea myself. Jemz is spamming me with fic and it's distracting me. *________________*

[thunder]

Not a good enough excuse. Now keep your word. SHOW ME THE FAITH.

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

I'd love to but I have a Ryoda to finish start, and haven't I already given you TWO fics in a row here? *pointed look* Give me fic back and we'll see about another one.

[thunder]

...

:'(

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

...That's what I should be saying. T.T
