[#96] Some of These Happy Points are Days Old.

[tinyangl]

But I hope you guys don't mind me cheating. lolol

i. Happy stuff! :D
+ Last Friday, the 9 hour marathon Skype call with Jennie and Peyton. I still don't know how we spent so much time just babbling about who knows what. Although two hours of that were spent on Peyton on her pizza, from deciding if she should get it to the point when it was delivered. Another couple of hours spent talking fic - both je_ficgames and je_holiday. (Mainly Peyton and I spazzing to Jennie about all she's missed since she hasn't been reading fic.) I think all of us got phone calls from various people at some points (Peyton was miss popular). God, and I think they helped me try to solve a crossword puzzle. That I don't think I finished on that note. lolol
+ Peyton invited me to her place. "I have an empty bed for you." Bow-chika-wow-wow.
+ The episode Rashomama played on Friday. And that is, hands down, my favorite CSI episode of existence. If you watch CSI and have never seen this episode, you are so missing out. :DDD Pimpimpim.
+ I managed to convince Cyn and Jennie (although the second one was a joint effort with Peyton) to get twitters. Who rocks? :D (AKA, if you do not have a twitter. you should get one now. And then friend me. I'm tinyangl.)
+ Yamapi and V6 are going to be on VS Arashi. Who's ridiculously happy? I AM I AM. January 10th can't come any sooner. *____________*
+ Tegoshi wanting to be flawless. Total A+.
+ Tegoshi asking Yamapi to Karaoke straight out. Even more A+.
+ J-Friends' I Will Get There. If you've never heard it, you should now. Amazing fucking song.
+ Just Peyton in general. :D She knows why.
+ Toda Erika on Domoto Kyoudai. I didn't used to like her, but after Ryuusei no Kizuna and this interview, she's really growing on me. Also, Koichi's magic trick was fucking awesome. Making her birthday with the cards? DUDE. WHO DOES THAT?! Holy shit. Even if it's raw, everyone should watch just for that, honestly. It's worth it. *______________*
+ This picture of Okada, Morita, Miyake. Hysterical. Be warned, Okada's in his tightie whities. lololol
+ Subbed K-chan Episodes: 1 ♥ 2 ♥ 3 ♥ 4. All are absolutely hysterical. I totally recommend checking them out.
+ Getting my week of jesummary posted. :DDDD
+ Oh! Almost forgot. Grades are starting to trickle in. :DD A- for Grammar! Honestly? That's the only one that I thought would come close to a B (Granted, I don't know how Creative Writing prof will grade, so who knows). But hearing that it's an A makes me giddy. Maybe I'll be able to boost my average with this semester. Ridiculously happy.
+ I love my twitter. That is the only reason I have most of this list. lolol Looking back at my twitters so helps. XD

ii. Galileo Zero.
Finally managed to watch this despite downloading it ages ago. Ohmygod, so amazing. It only served to remind me that I really liked the drama and then I really wished that I saw Yukawa and Kaoru together again. Random points!

+ Yukawa being lecherous. Hysterical. I love the assistant trying to get girls to "play" with Yukawa but failing miserably.
+ The guy who plays Kusanagi. I'd seen him in a couple of other things, but for some reason, he was just really hot to me in this. I don't even know why.
+ I was genuinely surprised when I suddenly saw Masami show up. With her glasses and white coat. She thoroughly amused me though. Loved her interactions with Yukawa, trying to hit on him and convince him to stay by saying she had a really tiny bikini and then Yukawa going off on how it'd be great if girls wore bikinis to class. I was like WTF. LOL Also, love at the end when she leaves and he's babbling about love (as always) and she's like, he doesn't get it. Yukawa never did get a clue.
+ LOVED MIURA. Ohmygod. He had Yukawa down, honestly. I thought it was brilliantly acted and just all around amazing. ;alskdjlkasfjd I was honestly waiting for him to show up on screen and when he did, I flailed hard. :DDDD
+ The cases were good. I mean, I liked them but it's not like I can say much about them. lolol
+ This just made me want to find out what happens in the dman movie. Wantwantwant. alsdkjalfksjdf
+ OH. At the end of the special, we got a performance of Shibasaki Kou and Fukuyama Masaharu. SO BEAUTIFUL. OHMYGOD. I knew they performed together for this, but I'd never actually seen them together so seeing Fukuyama in the back with the guitar made me flail ridiculously.
+ Honestly, a good watch for those who saw Galileo before. And if you've never seen Galileo, what the heck are you doing reading this?! lol Seriously. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. :DDDDD Plus Miura = A+.
+ OH, random note. For a split second, Sailor Venus was one of the assistants. I was like OH HAY. LOOK WHO'S ON MY SCREEN! :D


iii. It's the holidays! I thought I'd be nice and offer up some of my writing (as terrible as it is). The last time I ask for prompts, I know I failed. DDD: Sorry. But this time, I have more free time (aka right now) so prompt me something to write for you! Granted, I have no promises for length, so it may range from one sentence to .....Well, let's not go there. lol So prompt away! :D No deadline that I can think of. Hopefully, I'll be better about this one. *dies*

i. love at first sight.

Massu visits the first time because he's being supportive after Tegoshi dropped by his set, with bentos and drinks for him and Nakamaru. In return, he arrives with bentos and drinks for only him and Tegoshi (because, well, there is nobody else he knows there).

He shows up when they're in the middle of filming some scene and Massu laughs when he looks into the monitor and watches as Tegoshi's character calls after Maki's character--a little insistent. It's a little off-putting to watch Tegoshi act, like it wasn't Tegoshi to begin with. Which only made Massu think that Tegoshi was a good actor being able to pull that off.

At least that's what he is thinking until Maki's character turns around and something about look on Maki's face makes Massu freeze up. She's talking, saying something that Massu can't quite hear or understand--is that even Japanese?--and all Massu can do is stare, watch as her eyes well up with tears, the wind blows her hair away from her eyes, only giving Massu a clearer view.

If Tegoshi makes Massu feel like he's looking at a slightly different Tegoshi--with his glasses and his student uniform--Maki makes him feel like he's just interrupting a really private moment between two people--friends, lovers, something that Massu couldn't pin down.

It startles him when a second later the director yells, "Cut!" and the magic seems to fade before his eyes. Maki wipes away her tears with the back of her hand as Tegoshi walks over to her, saying something with a smile. Massu watches as Maki giggles--the corners of her eyes quirk, her lips form a smile and she says something back to Tegoshi cheerfully as they start to walk down the school steps.

Tegoshi introduces her as "Maki-chan."

"Hi! Masuda-kun, right? Tegoshi's told me a lot about you," Maki greets, bowing slightly. Her smile brightens and her eyes seem to shine from tears that hadn't fallen.

She takes his breath away for a second time.


ii. some things transcend time and space and universes.

If he's honest with himself, Massu drops by the second and third time just for Maki--even though he makes extra sure that Tegoshi's around when he does drop by. Any other time would just be weird. It takes a while for her to warm to him like she's already done with Tegoshi.

Massu doesn't want to admit it, but the sight of Tegoshi and Maki chatting easily before they're about to film a scene together makes something turn over in his stomach. He tries his best to be nice, but he finds himself stumbling through his own words, trying to meet her eyes but failing horribly as a flush breaks out on his face.

"Ne, Maki-chan!" Tegoshi says cheerfully as they're eating their lunch--with bentos Massu brought for all three of them. "You're free tomorrow, right? No filming?"

Maki blinks up at Tegoshi, her chopsticks against her lips as she thinks. "No, it's a rare day off. I think they're filming Matsuyama-kun's scenes tomorrow."

"Great! It's my date day with Massu. You should join us!"

Maki's gaze falls on Massu's and all he can focus on is the way her eyelashes move as she blinks. "Is that okay?"

Massu chuckles awkwardly, brushing away an invisible piece of rice from his face before nodding. "Yeah! Only if you don't mind spending it with us." He flushes. "I'm not exactly the best person to shop with."

Maki laughs lightly, throws her head back and her hair shifts just enough to give Massu a good look at her throat--Massu blinks, his flush deepening. "I'd be more than happy to, Tegoshi-kun! I think that'll be fun."

"Me too!" Teogshi cheers. "Great! You'll definitely have fun." Tegoshi adds a little nod and a fist pump in the air as though that'll prove his point. Maki giggles again, covering her mouth with her hand.

"Un," Massu finds himself saying, the grin unmistakable from his face. "I think it'll be fun."

Maki smiles in his direction.
