[#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 kinda took this and made it mildly silly. XD hope you don't mind.

Four Times Yamapi and Maki were Interrupted, and the One Time They Weren't.

i. Maki doesn't hate Yamapi's friends--she doesn't even dislike them. She thinks they can be funny and interesting and all sorts of things. In their own time. Not when she's in the middle of snuggling up against Yamapi and they're watching some movie that makes her wants to cry because it's just that sad.

Except she can't because Jin and Ryo have randomly decided to crash their date and sit in the free spots around her and Yamapi (the love seat to Yamapi's left and an empty space beside her where her feet were resting). Jin has something "important" to talk to Yamapi about that only seems to be girl problems--which he then asks Maki for her advice ("No, Akanishi-kun. I really don't think it's a good idea to sleep with a girl's twin sister and then sleep with her saying that you thought it was the sister.").

And all the while, Maki's eyes are still a little red from all the sniffling, Ryo's stealing all their food off the table--"Hey! Make sure to share that!" Jin snaps--Yamapi's sympathetically pressing kisses in her hair and his arm around her waist gets a touch tighter, but he still nods and listens as Ryo and Jin talk about their adventures in Harajuku and nearly getting discovered by fangirls--and so many other things that Maki's not really interested in because the movie's still on pause and she has to know if Shinya got to Ryo on time or what!

"I'm sorry," he murmurs against the side of her ear, pressing a kiss there while Jin and Ryo are fighting over the last chip.

Maki shakes her head and sighs, relaxing against his shoulder. "I guess I'm kinda used to it."

Yamapi gives her a half-smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes and Maki sighs.

"Don't make that face with me," she complains. "You make me want to apologize!"

He chuckles before leaning in again to press a light kiss against her lips and then leaning his forehead against hers. "Next time, I'll make sure to hide the spare key." Maki giggles.

Then Jin notices they're watching a movie and instantly wants to know what it's about.

"Let's just watch from the start, idiot," Ryo snorts, leaning back and giving Maki a "what the hell is wrong with him?" face. Maki shakes her head with a laugh until Yamapi's chest rumbles as he says turning to look at her, "Why not?"

Maki scrunches her nose. She's not sure if she wants to watch half of the movie all over again. ...Then again, she does really want to find out what happens. "Sure," she ends up saying.

Jin beams and restarts the movie.


ii. It's not as though her place is even better as Meisa throws open the front door to find Yamapi hovering over Maki on the couch, blinking at Meisa in both confusion and panic. Maki glances over, sighing as she pushes Yamapi off of her.

"Weren't you going to be gone all night?" she asks as she pushes the straps of her tanktop back up her shoulders. Yamapi sits back down, combing a hand through his hair.

Meisa tries to hide her amusement as she tosses her keys on the side table, going through her mail. "That's tomorrow, Maki-chan. Although I'm glad to have stopped you before something were to happen." She flashes Yamapi a less than agreeable smile--Meisa's approval of Yamapi hasn't really been extremely high.

Maki winces as Yamapi flashes a pleasant smile, although his hand tightens around hers. She sighs, getting up and throwing on her sweater (which they'd thrown on the floor only a minute ago) and tugging Yamapi towards her. "Well, we'll just be going then."

"Maki-chan," Meisa says reprimandingly albeit gently at the same time--her strategy in guilting Maki. Maki glances over to see the arch in Meisa's eyebrow. "Don't you remember? We have plans tomorrow morning."

Maki winces again as she realizes that, yes, they did have plans in the morning. Turning around, she faces Yamapi with the best apologetic face she can muster, but before she can even say a word, he's leaning down to press a chaste kiss on her lips and pulling back with a smile. "It's okay, Maki-chan. I have work early in the morning anyway. I'll see you later?"

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

She smiles, nodding before he leans in again. When he pulls back, he gives Meisa a wave. "Bye, Kuroki-san," he says cordially, even bowing a little.

Meisa gives him a dry smile, eyes practically glaring as Yamapi leaves their dorm room. "Bye, Yamashita-kun," she finally calls out just as Maki's shutting the door.

Maki glares at Meisa as she starts for her room. "I didn't get the day wrong, did I?"

Meisa grins at her back. "Nope."

The door shuts behind her and Maki rolls her eyes.


iii. They work hard--some more than others--so Maki's usually very understanding when work circumstances come up in the middle of their dates--which happens more often than not. Like right now when Maki's twirling a straw inside her glass, listening to the sound of ice against glass while Yamapi's on the phone with who she thinks is Koyama.

She glances up to watch Yamapi nod as Koyama babbles on the other line--she can't remember the last time Yamapi actually said something--and he flashes her a weak smile.

Maki waves it away and goes back to twirling her ice around.

"Yeah, no. I got it, Koyama." Yamapi nods again before shutting off his phone. "I'm sorry," he says to Maki who only shakes her head.

"You're a good leader," she says with a smile.

Yamapi chuckles. "I don't know how much of a leader I am when I'm the one being told things."

Maki shakes her head. "You are."

"So, what were we up to?" Yamapi murmurs, leaning forward. Maki can't help her small grin before she leans over the table, so close to him that she can feel his breath against her lips. That is until his phone rings again and Maki sighs, sitting back down.

Yamapi gives her another apologetic look before glancing at his phone and mouthing, "Tegoshi." Maki nods and Yamapi takes the phone call.

She goes back to listening to the sound of ice against glass--not as nice as before as the ice has already melted--and the murmurings of Yamapi on the phone.


iv. Maki can't always blame the interruptions on Yamapi--even if his phone goes off a lot more than normal people's do--she has her fair share of phone calls in the middle of their dates.

Yamapi's pressing a kiss on her throat and Maki sighs, closing her eyes. Until her phone goes off and Maki throws her head back with a groan. "You don't have to pick it up," Yamapi says right after, even though he's already pulling back and sitting back down on his couch.

"Of course I do," she says without really needing to, her hand already flipping open her cell phone to see that Toma's calling her. "Toma-kun?" she asks, tilting her head to the side.

Yamapi gives her a puzzled look and she shrugs back at him.

"Hey, Horikitty!" Toma cheerfully greets on the other end. "I'm out with Shun and Yuu-kun and we were thinking of you and thought you should come out with us if you're free!"

"Ah, actually, I'm out with Tomo-kun and--"

"Yamashita?" Toma interrupts. "He's there too? He should come! I haven't seen him in ages. And I don't think Yuu-kun has either. And it'll be great!"

Maki pauses before giving Yamapi a sideways glance who blinks at her in confusion.

"Ah... I guess we could stop by for a few minutes," Maki says weakly--it doesn't sound too bad, she tells herself.

"Great!" Toma starts to tell her the address and how to get there while Yamapi asks her quietly, "Where are we going?"

Maki covers the mouth piece of the phone and tells him, "Toma-kun invited us out with him, Shirota-kun and Oguri-kun."

"Oh."

"I'm sorry," she says weakly.

Yamapi shakes his head, giving her a grin. "It's okay. I haven't seen Toma for a while, so it's okay."

Maki looks at him gratefully, leaning in to press a kiss on his lips before Toma abruptly goes, "Maki-chan. Are you even listening?"

"Of course!" Maki says in a rush, flushing. Yamapi chuckles and pulls her close to him as they get all the details.

i. It's really those moments when they don't try--when it just falls into the right time, the right place, the right everything. When Maki gets out of work early and she manages to catch Yamapi finishing for the day and they have dinner and watch a movie on his couch.

When he's pressing kisses in her hair, her cheek, her lips with his fingers tangled with hers.

When it just feels right and Maki feels at home in his arms.

They get as much free time as possible as they can--without anyone pestering them or calling them. When it's just the two of them in each other's company and Maki doesn't even remember falling asleep.

Yamapi greets her groggily, covering his yawn up with his hand. "Good morning," he murmurs.

All Maki has to breathe and repeat the words. "Good morning." It's definitely good for her when she wakes up to Yamapi's smile and the feel of his embrace still around her. Even with everything, it's always just them in the end.
