(Anonymous) 2010-04-07 06:28 am (UTC)(link)Yamapi almost falls over, but manages to keep his balance, and he lets out an angry growl and hits back. Jin moves out of the way, but Yamapi’s uppercut connects a second later. Jin struggles to maintain his stance then strikes straight. Yamapi ducks, but Jin gets him in the gut next, and Yamapi coughs loudly, while Jin uses that distraction to land a right-hook in his chin.
They’ve never fought before, not like this, and Yamapi is too blinded by his anger, by everything else that has happened recently, everything that has accumulated over the years and has been resting on his shoulders, a never-ending weight that drags him down, down, down to the ground. He’s lost in the need to let out his frustration, and it doesn’t matter that it’s Jin, that it’s his best friend he’s beating to a pulp, doesn’t even think twice that he should stop before he hurts him. He can feel Jin’s rage in his punches, in the way he fights back, doesn’t just let Yamapi release his anger, but unleashes his own tenfold.
“Why do you keep shutting me out?” Jin yells, each word punctuated with a punch.
“I’m not!” Yamapi shoots back and manages to swipe his foot beneath Jin’s and watches as Jin loses his balance and falls straight to the floor.
There’s a moment of utter silence afterward, the tension in the air thick and daunting. Jin stares up at Yamapi with a stunned expression, and Yamapi almost feels guilty, almost, but his veins are rushing with rage, that it’s the only thing he’s able to comprehend.
Jin’s the first to move, gingerly standing up, wiping the back of his hand against the corner of his mouth and wincing. Yamapi knows he’s got some cuts and bruises himself, but can’t find it in him to worry right now. Instead he just watches as Jin grabs his coat off the back of the couch and shrugs it on, winces again at the pain, and then pins Yamapi with a look of so much anguish that it nearly hurts Yamapi more than the physical injuries he’s already sporting.
“I…I don’t even know who you are anymore,” he says quietly, his voice choked. “Call me when you’re back to being Pi—When you’re back to being Tomohisa.”
He leaves without another word, leaving Yamapi transfixed in his living room. He hears the door click open and then shut, and then feels as though the entire world has just fallen into pieces around him. He should probably run after him, he thinks, run after him and apologize, explain, explain everything that’s been running through his head, even if it makes no sense to him, even if it’s just a jumble of all that’s been happening for years, it’s Jin – Jin won’t care, Jin won’t judge, Jin will listen, Jin will help.
But he’s too drained, too tired, and pained to even think of doing anything other than grab and icepack from the freezer, and relocate to his bed. He’s out before he even knows it, and it’s the worst night’s sleep he’s ever had.
~
Yamapi books a flight to Hawaii a week later. He cleans his apartment, packs up one suitcase, and leaves a message for his mother, and a similar one for management. He spends hours contemplating to call Jin, but in the end he realizes he doesn’t know what to say. Since their fight, Jin hasn’t called him, hasn’t shown up announced at his apartment, hasn’t made any form of contact. Yamapi doesn’t know whether to be glad or disappointed. He knows Jin’s now busy with his upcoming concerts, is probably preparing his trip to L.A., probably doesn’t care what Yamapi’s doing anymore, after everything Yamapi did to him.

(Anonymous) 2010-04-07 06:29 am (UTC)(link)He’s on an early-bird flight out of the country at the beginning of May, and lands seven hours later in the bright sunshine and blue skies of Molokai. He’s rented a small cottage just close enough of a walking distance to the nearest city and right on the beach, the waves of the ocean a constant symphony in the background.
It’s the most calming place Yamapi has ever been to. He spends everyday out on the beach, swimming, surfing, just lying in the warm sand that sticks to the bottoms of his feet. He does whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and it’s complete bliss. He eats his meals outside, on the small rickety white porch, or down by the shore. He frequents the closest town a few times a week, walks down the sidewalks and window-shops. Some days he’ll spend a few hours in a quaint coffee shop with a book he’s bought from the store down the street. He experiences the luxuries he never had the chance to before, fourteen years in this industry, scheduled down to the last second.
He does miss it. The longer he’s here, the more relaxed he’s become, the more chances he’s had to think without worrying about the media or the company or even his friends. All he’s ever known is music and dance and performing and being an idol. And despite the past month and half, it’s all he’ll ever want to know. This is the life for him; it’s something he was just born to do.
But lately things have just taken a toll on him and the only thing he could think of was the need to get out. And he did it the only way he could. He doesn’t regret it.
What he does regret has nothing to do with his running away from the company and everything to do with running away from Jin. There hasn’t been a day yet when Yamapi comes across something in Hawaii that he thinks Jin would appreciate and he’s got his phone out in his hand, scrolling through contacts to get to “Bakanishi” when he realizes that they haven’t spoken in weeks. And he stares at his phone for awhile longer before he puts it away with a heavy heart.
Yamapi knows he should just suck it up and call him, tell him he’s sorry and be done with it. Part of him, however, waits for Jin’s call, any indication that Jin is still worried, is waiting, even though Jin had told him straight up that Yamapi needed to make that first step, the last time they talked. It feels like years ago, that fight, that stupidity, and Jin’s harsh but honest words. Yamapi regrets not going after him that day.
Halfway through May is when he gets the first call from someone that’s not his mother. He’s not surprised that it’s Ryo, but half wishes it was Jin instead.
“How’d you find out?” he asks Ryo.
“Your mom,” Ryo answers. “How’re you?”
Yamapi considers the question for awhile before settling on, “Better.”
“Good,” Ryo says, sounding relieved. He goes on to explain everything that’s happened since Yamapi’s left, about the other members of NewS, about the other groups, about their mutual friends. He talks for awhile and Yamapi just listens, feeling oddly soothed albeit nostalgic by the sound of Ryo’s voice, and only realizing when Ryo’s saying his goodbyes that he never said one thing about the person Yamapi wants to know the most about.
Just before Ryo hangs up he says, “J-Jin…How is he?”
Ryo is silent for a moment and then follows a sigh with, “He’s good, I think. He’s in L.A. now.”
Yamapi bites his lip and doesn’t answer, but thankfully Ryo knows him well enough to answer the unspoken questions.
“He’s not mad at you,” he says. “You should just call him. Wait, I have his L.A. number, write it down and fucking call him.”
Yamapi hastily grabs a pen and jots down the number in the margin of a newspaper. “Thanks, Ryo-chan,” he says honestly.
“Come home soon, okay?” is all Ryo says before he hangs up, before Yamapi can promise him he will.

(Anonymous) 2010-04-07 06:30 am (UTC)(link)L.A. is just as he remembers it from the last time he was there, lots of people and bright lights. It’s late when he arrives at the hotel and he wonders if Jin is even there when he rides the elevator to the tenth floor. He spends a whole of five minutes standing in front of Jin’s hotel room door before he finally, finally gets the courage to knock, and then it’s the worst feeling he’s ever experienced, waiting for Jin to answer.
He never does. Yamapi knocks again, waits another five minutes and tries one more time. By now he doesn’t know what else to do and slowly walks down the hall to the elevator, a sinking feeling in his gut. He pushes the down button, hoping to return to the lobby and find an available room, but when the elevator reaches his floor and the doors ring open, he looks up and finds Jin standing on the other side.
Yamapi’s heart nearly dies in his chest, his breath caught in his throat, and from the looks of things, Jin’s in no better shape, his eyes widening in realization of who it is staring back at him. They’re too engrossed in each other that Jin forgets to get off the elevator and Yamapi forgets to get in, and the elevator rings again, the doors start to slide shut.
They both reach out at the same time to stop it from closing, and Yamapi feels adrenaline start to rush vigorously through his veins. He swallows away the dryness of throat and manages, “Jin?”
It breaks Jin out of his spell, exiting the elevator and still staring at Yamapi as if he’s never seen him before. “W-What. What’re you doing here?” he exclaims finally.
“I…I came to see you,” Yamapi answers honestly.
“Do you have a room?”
Yamapi shakes his head. “I was hoping that…” he trails off but Jin understands and he grabs Yamapi’s hand and pulls him down the hall, and Yamapi’s skin burns with the feel of Jin’s fingers on him.
The second the door shuts behind them, Yamapi’s pulled into a tight hug, Jin’s arms wrapping around his waist and nearly knocking the life right out of him. His eyes widen over Jin’s shoulder and he stands tensely for awhile before his heart finally manages to calm down, and raises his arms to clutch onto the back of Jin’s coat.
Jin pulls away soon after, looking a little embarrassed as he walks into the room without a word. Yamapi slowly follows, still feeling winded, and stands awkwardly off to the side, unsure what to say.
Jin sits on his bed, crossing his legs under him and looks up expectantly at Yamapi, who after a long stretch of unbearable silence says the first thing that comes to mind.
“H-How’ve you been?”
Jin actually cracks a smile and Yamapi’s heart jumps at the sight. “How’ve you?” he counters.
“Good,” Yamapi says, and it’s the truth.
“You look good,” Jin says. “Your hair’s finally starting to grow back, even.”
Yamapi scowls at him, reaching up to tug self-consciously on his still short hair. “You finally cut yours, I see.”
Now Jin glares at him, and Yamapi lets out a laugh that he stops abruptly upon realizing it’s possibly the first time he’s laughed in months.
“I’m glad to see you laugh,” Jin says, pulling Yamapi out of his revelation. “Seems like your rebellion has helped.”
Yamapi quirks his lips. “Sad that we can’t say the same about yours.”
Jin just merely sticks his tongue out at him which only has Yamapi laughing again, a relaxing pleasure sweeping through his veins and taking place of the anxiety he had previously about coming here and seeing Jin again. He should have known things would just fall right back into place, teasing each other like they always have, smiling and laughing together as though nothing out of the ordinary has happened; nothing can tear them apart.
10/10!!! omg
(Anonymous) 2010-04-07 06:31 am (UTC)(link)Jin sits up straighter and tilts his head. “What for?” he asks.
“For, fuck, everything, Jin,” Yamapi says. “For not listening to you, for beating the crap out of you, for not letting you help, for not realizing that you understand more than anyone, for—”
“Okay, stop, stop,” Jin says quickly, looking flustered. “You’re just making me embarrassed, now.”
“It’s the truth,” Yamapi insists.
“Pi,” Jin says, sliding off the bed and walking around to stand before him. “I don’t fucking care about any of that anymore.” He smiles. “I’m just glad you’re all right now.” He pauses. “You are all right now, aren’t you?”
Yamapi nods, smiling. “Yeah, I’m all right.”
“Good,” Jin says with a grin, slinging an arm around Yamapi’s shoulders. “Because I’ve missed my best friend.”
Yamapi feels his heart swell with warmth. “I guess I’ve missed you, too,” he returns.
Jin nudges him in the ribs with an elbow. “Lies,” he declares. “I know for a fact that you asked Ryo-chan all the time about how I was. I say you missed me lots.”
Yamapi flushes and shoves him away. Laughing, Jin falls onto his bed and pulls Yamapi down with him. They lay beside each other in comfortable silence, and Yamapi is almost content enough to just fall asleep like this when Jin says, “Next time, don’t shut me out, okay?”
“Okay,” Yamapi says immediately. “Though I don’t think there’ll ever be a next time.”
“Even better,” Jin says. “You really had me worried to death.”
“I’m sorry,” Yamapi replies earnestly.
Jin shifts to lie on his side, looks at Yamapi and says, “How long are you in L.A. for? Are you staying for my concerts?”
Yamapi leans up on his elbows, shakes his head. “I think I need to go back to Japan now,” he says. “I have a lot to make up for.”
“Unless management said you died in a freak accident or something,” Jin remarks darkly.
“You don’t know what they said?”
“No, I refused to listen to any of that shit. I didn’t read the papers or magazines and ignored the stations that were talking about it,” Jin says.
“Why?” Yamapi questions.
Jin pins him with an intense look and replies, “Because I knew you’d come back.”
Happiness tingles up and down Yamapi’s spine at those words, at Jin’s never-ending faith in him, and he replies, “Thanks, Jin.”
Jin beams and says, “So you’ll stay right? Watch my concerts? You’re probably dead in Japan, anyway, a few more weeks here won’t kill you much.”
Laughing, Yamapi nods. “Okay,” he agrees, resting his head onto a pillow. His belly flops around pleasantly as Jin curls up beside him, and Yamapi thinks that from now on, no matter what happens, as long as he’s able to have Jin with him, he’ll be all right. Out of everything that’s happened in the past two months, this is the lesson he’ll forever remember.

OP-san, sorry for the abrupt ending and just fail in general. I really hope it's sort of close to what you wanted. DX
Re: 10/10!!! omg
as long as they are together they will be alright :)
thanks anon-san

(Anonymous) 2010-04-07 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)off to read~
~~~
he just... walks out! just like that, Without a word! :O I'm sold, anon-san~
That weekend, he goes out for the first time, to a dark, shady club that even Jin won’t enter.
lol! Underestimating Jin, aren't we? :P
aw, of course he does go there, it's for Pi! And then he's holding his hand the whole drive.
the piles of dirty laundry, of trash, of newspapers with Yamapi’s face on the front, at all of the things Yamapi hasn’t cared enough to clean or throw away
*sad face*
it's so strange when Jin is the mature one in their relationship
“I dragged you out because I’m fucking worried!”
Jin ;_; Yamapi is broken, fix him!
I know how you feel. I’ve been there, too. Don’t shut me out, Pi. I can help.
this... this... *___* and then he stays.
He did it. He got the tattoo.
which is HOTAnd then the hair. Even though Jin came to him to help, he's falling deeper. I think I love you, anon-san, this is EXACTLY what I wanted.“You don’t know anything,”
:O!! That's.. omg. Pi, you fucked up, hard. B-but Jin stays O_o he's such a perfect friend. And Yamapi gives in. And Jin listens and helps. Omg, this is beautiful.
Yamapi feels surprisingly sated, happy. It’s been a while since he’s felt this way, and he wonders if it has to do with the meal, or because of the way Jin is taking such care of him, all concerned eyes and gentle smiles.
haha, it's Yamapi we're talking about, of course food would make everything look better XD and food coupled with Jin is the best medicine~
... or not :O I love how he tries, but it just isn't right, he can't. And he falls yet again. Or maybe he hasn't recovered to begin with, but he went and was a fucking idol, because he owed it to the others.
Yamapi snorts. “That’s a good one,” he says, shoving past Jin into the apartment. “Coming from you."</>
OMG, OMG, OMG. I was tearing up during this whole exchange, just so you know ;___; the fist fight was... OMG. So much pent up emotions. They don't WANT to hurt each other, but they DO ;______; just.. omg.
and then Jin is no more and Yamapi runs away. To his Hawai. And time flows. You are the best anon ever.
and then the end
He should have known things would just fall right back into place, teasing each other like they always have, smiling and laughing together as though nothing out of the ordinary has happened; nothing can tear them apart.
*sniff* I want my perfect Jin too! ;___;
Yamapi thinks that from now on, no matter what happens, as long as he’s able to have Jin with him, he’ll be all right
my heart ;___; is happy again ;______; here, have it: ♥ ;______;
I don't know why you were anxious, anon-san, this is PERFECT and everything I could have ever hoped for. I love how there is nothing romantic involved, because it just means so much more. And the appearance of Ryo is just precious.
... I obviously love it a lot :) and I'll be late for school because of it, haha.
THANK YOU!!! ♥♥♥

Jin´s faith in Yamapi and his persistent care, and then the moment he draws a line and leaves Yamapi to deal *__* all of it is so well pieced together, flows so naturally and is heartbreaking and heart-warming all at the same time!
