[#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*

kami can't write anything without it being slightly emo. part 4

Jin doesn't stay in America for too long--it had only been one job, after all. So a week after his talk with Ryo and five weeks since he'd seen Jin, Yamapi goes to the airport, finding out all his details after talking to Jin's boss, Kame, who had given Yamapi a half-smirk when he'd ask--Yamapi figured this meant that not only did all of NewS Express know, but so did DUES.

Yamapi keeps his hands in his pockets, fingering the key Jin had left that night--the key that JIn had somehow wrangled from Yamapi's building's manager. ("I winked and smiled the right way," Jin boasted.) He didn't come with much, just himself and his pride. He hopes it's enough--enough for what? Yamapi's still not sure himself.

Groups of people trickle out of the terminals, and even though Yamapi knows when Jin's plane is supposed to arrive, he's still unsure when Jin will actually come out.

When he does, Yamapi expects this whole swell of music in his head--flashes to how Jin will react to seeing Yamapi there, to them making up--all happy storybook endings. Except, reality is never like that; instead Yamapi sees Jin with his arm around some blonde with green eyes, who's looking at JIn with these bright eyes that seem to take all of Jin's attention.

Yamapi freezes, stares, and can't quite figure out if he should move or not.

It takes him another minute before he turns, except someone's tugging on his arm as he's walking away and Yamapi just knows he was way too late--in more than one way.

"Yamashita," Jin calls, even though Yamapi's already stopped, Jin's hand still on his elbow. Yamapi turns slowly, putting on his best smile.

"Akanishi, welcome back."

Jin stares--he looks a little different even though it'd been only a little over a month, longer hair, darker bags under his eyes, and there wasn't a trace of a smile on his lips. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought I'd check out how you did in America. Maybe mock you somehow--like, you've gotten chubbier," Yamapi jokes, trying to stay normal.

"What are you really doing here?"

The girl stands a little bit away from them, but her eyes pierce Yamapi's--staring him down, almost daring him to say something. "Seriously. I heard through the grapevine, that's all. Thought I'd congratulate you on your article--heard you're up for some kind of prize because of it."

JIn pauses. "I didn't know," he finally says.

Yamapi laughs it off, shaking his head. "Neither did I," he answers. "Well, it was great seeing you. Glad you're still alive and," he moves to wave at the girl with Jin. "It was nice to kind of meet you." He turns on his heel then, walking away, and this time, Jin doesn't stop him.

Yamapi finds out a while later that they're serious--have been for a couple of weeks. Ryo finds himself a permanent drinking partner.

--

"Why don't you just tell him?" Ryo snaps.

"Stop getting so agitated. I think someone needs to lay off on the alcohol." Yamapi smirks.

"I've only started drinking so much because you've started hanging around."

Yamapi shrugs. "So?"

"Pi, if you don't get what I'm saying, then you're an idiot."

"I get what you're saying. I'm just not listening." He grinned brightly at Ryo before taking a sip.

"You're miserable and you're making everyone around you miserable. Why don't you just do something about this Akanishi thing and get it over with?" Ryo snaps, turning in his stool to actually face Yamapi.

"I did try. And only got disappointed. So why would I try again?"

"Because obviously you didn't try enough if you're still miserable and depressed."

Yamapi sighs. "Shut up, will you? I don't need a conscious. I managed to drown mine out days ago." Ryo rolls his eyes at him.

"Just go over to his place. Clear things up and then whatever happens, happens. At least this time, you can really end it without regret, idiot."

"But-" Yamapi starts, but Ryo quickly interrupts. "No. No convincing yourself out of it. Nothing. Just move, go there and get things done."
