[#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*

Comments

oh god this is the longest one i've written so far. 5/8?

Ryo takes Massu to so many places that Massu's not even sure he remembers where he was maybe five minutes ago. Ryo doesn't take Massu to any of the normal tourist attractions--they'll always be there, Ryo argues. No, he takes Massu to more personal places. His favorite ramen-ya, his favorite place to go shopping--they unfortunately don't spend any time there, Ryo insisting they leave immediately; Massu pouts but it doesn't work. ("That only works when Tegoshi does it.") They go to his favorite park. His favorite cafe--his favorite something or another. His school.

Ryo's favorite park is right across the street from Ryo's elementary school and Massu swings back and forth on the swing--temporarily forgetting that he's 32 already and a grown man shouldn't really be riding in swings as freely as he is--but it helps him to forget.

"Isn't it kinda pedo of you to come here and stare at the kids?" Massu asks, bluntly. His eyes go wide as he realizes that he actually said that out loud.

Ryo laughs though, arms crossed as he leans against the handrail in front of the swings, just watching Massu go back and forth, and back and forth. "No, because I never stare at the kids."

Massu drags his feet on the sand, coming to a slow stop. "I'm really sorry," he says, teeth nipping at his lower lip. "I didn't--"

"Masuda, I can take a joke, you know. I'm not going to banish you or something." Ryo pushes off the handrail, hovering over Massu as he grips onto the chains of the swings. Massu thinks if he just leans a little forward, he could--

"I know that, Nishikido-kun," Massu says, leaning backwards to get a better angle towards Ryo's face. "Er. I just feel--"

"Ryo. We've been in a group for how many years and you're still calling me Nishikido-kun?"

Massu pauses. "Habit?"

Ryo laughs, pulling back and shaking his head. "I have a rule then. You have to call me Ryo for the next two days. No Nishikido-kun, no Ryo-kun, Ryo-sama. ...Although I might not mind the last too much. But just. Ryo. My name."

The edges of Massu's lips spread on his face without Massu actually realizing it. "Okay. I. Er. I think I can do that. Ni--Ryo."

Ryo returns Massu's grin. "I think that's the first I've seen you smile all weekend."

Massu blinks, hands on his face before flushing. "Er."

"Oh, you're not going to go all weird on me, are you?" Ryo snaps, wrinkling his nose. "Okay, let's just go." He reaches over and grabs Massu's hand, gripping tightly as he leads Massu deeper into the park--Massu swears if he closes his eyes, he can almost hear the crowds.

But he doesn't. Instead, he keeps his eyes open and fixed on Ryo as he wonders where Ryo's taking him--and what is going on inside his own head really.

--

Ryo ends up taking Massu to the other end of the park, exiting and then making a sharp right turn and straight into a ramen-ya. "Wait, another one? Didn't we just--" Ryo makes a loud shushing noise before entering.

The lady behind the counter halts her Irreshai with a "ugh" before moving around the counter and leading Ryo towards a booth. "God, don't you come here eno--" She starts before she catches sight of Massu standing behind Ryo, looking confused. "Wait, who is--"

Ryo gets a second's warning to cover his ears with his hands before the lady immediately squeaks, drops the menus she was holding and grasping Massu's hands in hers. "Oh! Masuda Takahisa-kun, right?!"

Massu blinks back in surprise. "Er, yes?"

"Can I get your signature?!" Massu looks past the girl's shoulder towards Ryo who nods at Massu before Massu can say that it's okay. "Great!" she says, rushing behind the counter to grab a notepad and pen and hands it to Massu. "Just anything would be great!"

Massu nods, drawing a pig off the bat--it's what he's used to after all and it looks almost the right size of the autograph boards--before scribbling his signature underneath it and handing it back. "Thank you!" she says excitedly before Massu turns to Ryo who's already sitting down in one of the booths, browsing through a menu. Massu joins him, sliding into the booth across from Ryo.
