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

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 [livejournal.com profile] je_ficgames and [livejournal.com profile] 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: 1234. 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*

um HOPEFULLY THE LAST PART. Part 3

Neither talk for the rest of the night--only saying their goodbyes when they leave. Koyama almost feels guilty for not telling Ryo thanks--just thanks for being there, thanks for coming on short notice, thanks for his words--even if they weren't what he had been looking for. They were what he needed.

Even so, Koyama doesn't say thanks. He needs more time.

--

Fallin through the night, rising from the ashes


While Koyama doesn't stop talking to Ryo--not that he would ever allow himself to break ties anyway--it's only a couple of months later that he finally sees him face to face.

"Congratulations on the new place." Ryo raises his glass to him before taking a sip.

Koyama grins, tipping his glass towards Ryo as well. "Thanks for making time in your busy schedule to come celebrate."

Tegoshi presses against Ryo's side, swinging an arm around. "Ryo-tan would never miss out a party with the six of us!"

"We'd kidnap him from wherever and make sure he's here," Yamapi jokes, taking a sip of his beer.

"Not like we couldn't overpower him," Shige smirks. Ryo glares darkly at him; Shige only shrugs.

"I just think it's great that we're together again," Massu chimes--his voice with a tinge of melancholy.

Koyama smiles. "Yeah, me too." He sips some of his drink as the room goes off in conversation--Tegoshi, Yamapi and Massu chat about Massu's most recent drama (some thing about chefs), Ryo and Shige compare workload--almost like they're trying to see who's been working more. Koyama shakes his head, chuckling.

The members--friends--trickle out one by one, leaving Ryo alone with Koyama, cleaning up the mess they'd left. "You'd think you wouldn't let your guest clean up with you."

Koyama grins. "If you didn't want to clean, you could've just left like everyone else."

"Ah, I knew I went wrong somewhere." Koyama chuckles as he falls back onto his couch. Ryo joins him a few seconds later, putting down the empty glasses he'd gathered on the table in front of them. "How does it feel getting out? Being in the new world."

"Scary," Koyama says. "Necessary."

"It's what you want?"

Koyama pauses, taking in a breath, slowly closing his eyes. "Yeah." He nods as he speaks, "Yeah, it's what I want."

Ryo's hand meets his--warm and friendly and familiar and comforting. His fingers tangle with Koyama's as he murmurs, "Then you're doing the right thing."

Koyama feels the smile spread over his face. "I know." He pauses again. "Thanks."

"No problem."

Ryo ends up staying the night and Koyama's more than glad for it. It's a nice feeling waking up his first night in his apartment to a familiar face.

--

You & me forever, forever young


They don't really talk it out, not really. It happens so gradually that when Koyama turns around, he's not entirely sure when it actually started.

Ryo kisses him lightly one night when Koyama's getting up to get a new cup of tea--Ryo's taken to crashing at his place after work when he's in Tokyo. Koyama closes his eyes--warm and light--before Ryo pulls back. Koyama licks his lips, opening his eyes again to see Ryo focusing on the television again.

"What was that for?" Koyama asks, hand to his lips.

"I felt like it," Ryo says simply, turning his gaze on Koyama.

Koyama blinks then smiles, leaning in to press a kiss on Ryo's lips. When he pulls back, Ryo asks, "And what was that for?"

"I felt like it," Koyama responds, walking towards the kitchen. He hears Ryo chuckling behind him as he moves.

They don't complicate things--don't want to, because sometimes, actions say more than words. And Koyama is just reminded of the day he walked out of Johnny's office after Johnny had told Shige to choose--Koyama made his choice. Voiceless, but loud all the same.
