That's a new banner, right?

Jin POV! YAY \^.^/ since I was complaining last week
He just cannot keep his fingers from Kame, who can blame him ;D
Jin thinking about Kame's wife, oh yeah, I'm still interested in this topic, too. Especially how they will deal with each other.

Jin stares back at him, with that disconnect when something sounds funny, but isn't. "But you don't know that would happen. You didn't try. You just…" Nobody would kick Kame out of his house if he decided to be honest tomorrow.
I hope you are doing something with this later on. Interesting for sure, even though I think that admitting to be gay in Japan is more like social death in the entertainment industry.

At least we have Kame finally thinking explicitly about his feelings, Jin didn't break the wall yet.
Or he did and you didn't write it.

Wonderful story twist ♥ Especially at one of Kame's weakest points, evil.
Cliffhanger! :P

All kind of interesting, I'm completely up for the twist. *_*
Hm.. final solution in 8 chapters...... what was that about deconstruction of the last few chapters?
Got this resolved or did you kill each other after all? :P

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Hmm, we used the banner once or twice before. But not in a wee while. Jo made this one herself. :)

Yes, we wrote the Jin POV just for you, that's why we had to restructure the last 9 chapters of the epic. /lies damn lies.

The wife. Yeah. :/ Well, you'll see.

I think that admitting to be gay in Japan is more like social death in the entertainment industry.

Yes, it pretty much is, unless you want to be a comedian, at least that's the impression we get. That's why the first scandal hit 'our' Kame so hard, because he wasn't even established then, it really would have killed his career good and dead.

At least we have Kame finally thinking explicitly about his feelings, Jin didn't break the wall yet.
Or he did and you didn't write it.

We thought we'd let his actions speak for him. :p

We managed to leave each other alive, but only because neither of us wanted to have to finish this epic all by herself. After that, it'll be pistols at dawn. Yes, we resolved it, what you see here is actually a restructured chapter already - we initially had the two parts of it in different chapters.

Thank you for commenting - and so quickly, too!

[sablenoir4.livejournal.com]

so here it is - and we're in for the ride.

it's different from how i'd expected - not so much content, but form.
thankyou lovely authors for surprising me!

there is a gravity here, and an ohfmg anger in me at the idiots who put kame in his prison.
love/hate: need the fans/press to survive, need to escape to be-e-e-e.
oh and the judging all round - emo-o-o wail.

Jin go rescue your knight! or at least hang to him as he to you, and help each other to climb out..

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Yes, here it most definitely is. And we are so happy that we managed to make it a surprise, thank you for telling us. ♥

Excellent summary of the problem. >.< Well, something will have to move now.

Jin will be operating on 4 hours of sleep; wish him luck. *g*

[http://users.livejournal.com/___clash/]

They're so cute in the kitchen, so obviously in love... and with Kame complaining about stage management *g* That was genius. And so was the candle moment, and eating pasta on the sofa like long-time friends. How do you even create these moments? <333 And Jin thinking of Kame's wife and being all selfishly pleased he knows things she doesn't, this is why Jin would never tell on Kame, ever! Too bad their candle-lit dinner kind of went awry ;___;

"Kame can be so sweet sometimes, and so totally unrealistic." Oh god, yes. Kame would be. That kind of thing isn't so far-fetched in the world he lives in. And this (rather randomly) got me thinking... Kame is sure, by now, that Jin has some sort of feelings for him. But does Jin know? Kame had some very obvious moments but there weren't words involved. They weren't nothing, but I guess they could be written off as Kame being a nice guy or whatever. Jin's moments were a lot more obvious somehow... Idk. Maybe. But does he know? Because if he does then why isn't he hoping? Not even a little? In his head? asdfghjkl

And their little disagreement... hm. #alltheseriousissues #ihavethoughts #unpopularviews Still, that shouldn't be big, it shouldn't be hard to get over, so why is Kame still thinking about it days later? Is this more... Souji-wreckage floating to the surface unanounced? :|

"Maybe he should write himself an agenda for their next night." Yes, Kame, plan ahead! Good boy! My bias! Organised Kame! With his schedules! I love it! <333

Aww, and the first thing Kame does when he gets up is check if Jin's called. All the cuteness, I can't ;___;

And then Kame makes the headlines D: And, oh god, the dread, you can't even begin to imagine. I know I've told you this already but it's just... That bit with Kame thinking so much, so fast, trying and failing to talk himself down is so overwhelming. Suffocating. "At the edge of that thought is a black gaping hole." I love it *___*

And the cellphone picture, wait, what? Who? How did that happen? where did that come from?! Because Jin wouldn't, and are there other people watching Kame sleep? Because that's be really creepy. Scary. Not when he's asleep, oh god ;____;

I have so many questions. And I wonder what will happen when Jin gets there, what does Kame want, what will Jin say? Will Jin be able to guide Kame through this? Will Kame freak out? WHAT is this cliffhanger omg? See what you've done to me? Now I'm hungry :|

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

and with Kame complaining about stage management *g* That was genius.

Thank you. *pleased authors*

And Jin thinking of Kame's wife and being all selfishly pleased he knows things she doesn't

Yeah, poor Midori.

this is why Jin would never tell on Kame, ever!

Sure. SURE. Right? :p

We're kind of sad their date got ruined too. We do like their fluffy moments. ;__; Stupid interfering boys.

Kame is sure, by now, that Jin has some sort of feelings for him. But does Jin know? Kame had some very obvious moments but there weren't words involved. They weren't nothing, but I guess they could be written off as Kame being a nice guy or whatever. Jin's moments were a lot more obvious somehow... Idk. Maybe. But does he know? Because if he does then why isn't he hoping? Not even a little? In his head?

Good, good questions. Is Kame really sure that Jin has feelings for him? He's certainly sure that he has feelings for Jin. What does Jin know? What does he think? Can he afford to hope anything? For answers to these questions, tune in to the same channel next Thursday. #evil

And their little disagreement... hm. #alltheseriousissues #ihavethoughts #unpopularviews

Tell us your #unpopularviews! We are very curious.

Still, that shouldn't be big, it shouldn't be hard to get over, so why is Kame still thinking about it days later? Is this more... Souji-wreckage floating to the surface unanounced? :|

Sort of. He and Souji fought about this issue a hell of a lot, it was the main reason for their breakup. So Kame is very, very sensitive on this point. And Souji wasn't even directly affected by what Kame did the way Jin is. Jin has much more reason to resent Kame's 'cowardice' in staying closeted than Souji ever had, so Kame has even more reason to feel bad.

That bit with Kame thinking so much, so fast, trying and failing to talk himself down is so overwhelming. Suffocating. "At the edge of that thought is a black gaping hole." I love it *___*

You love weird things, girl. Poor Kame. ;) But at least it sounds like we don't have to apologize for the DOOM. Hope you enjoy the next bit.

[krystal-32206.livejournal.com]

OMG! It's finally happening! At first I was smiling like crazy as I picture them in the kitchen. Especially the phrase describing Kame, "Only his focused pout is all dork, no film star."😄
Then the doggie ladder again. Sorry, I don't really know why I'm obsessed with the ladder but I just am. 😃
And Jin's starting to put together in his mind a semblance of normalcy in their dysfunctional relationship.
(I know I'm rambling here but please bear with me.😊)
And Kame's trying hard to give Jin a hint about joining Koki's band but it didn't work so I guess I have to wait for the next chapters, huh?
Or not. Because Kame's mind would be focused on THE NEWS!!!

Who was it that took Kame's pic while he was asleep?!? That was seriously creepy!
Aaargh! I'm gonna strangle the bastard who took those photos and wrote that article!👿

Seriously, this fic really made me feel for them. And I don't want to see them hurt but get a happy ending instead...*hint* *hint* 😊

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

OMG! It's finally happening!

It is. We hope you're enjoying it. :)

Then the doggie ladder again. Sorry, I don't really know why I'm obsessed with the ladder but I just am.

We, uh, try to have something for everyone's tastes. ;p We admit we find it cute, too. The thought of Sakura scrambling up that thing...

And Kame's trying hard to give Jin a hint about joining Koki's band but it didn't work so I guess I have to wait for the next chapters, huh?
Or not. Because Kame's mind would be focused on THE NEWS!!!

Yeah, he might just be a tiny little bit distracted. :(

Seriously, this fic really made me feel for them. It's like they're part of my family or something.

We loved hearing this so much, you have no idea. We are hoping that people will care what happens to them so this is... well, perfect. :) Thank you. ♥

Oh please Lord, you can't be doing this to him again. This is all just a bad dream. Kame's gonna wake up up and he'll be unharmed and he'll be okay, ok. Just. What is this. DDDDD: Kame. How can they do this to him again.

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Oh please Lord, you can't be doing this to him again.

What, us? Never.

You're right, next week Kame will wake up in the shower and it never really happened. Phew! ;-)

HOW COULD YOU STOP THERE????????????????

[miyau-chan.livejournal.com]

It started so nicely TT_____TT
The way Akame behaved around each other, how Jin was finally able to show his affection for Kame so boldly...

I knew it was bound to happen soon, seeing that there are only 8 chapters left, but it still shocked me Q___Q
How did they get the cellphone-photo of Kame sleeping naked??? Q___Q Who took it?? oh no oh no... I can't calm down. WHY DID I READ IT TODAY ALREADY, NOW I HAVE A WHOLE WEEK LEFT TO WAIT TT________TT

I love you <- He finally really thought it!

The cell-phone photo bothers me greatly .__.

[ayalonet.livejournal.com]

Wow. WOW. What just happened? It's all started so sweet, normal and.. nice(xD) and it toned down a bit with their disagreement. And. Then. All hell's broke loose.

I kind of expected that. I had a feeling this idyll would explode like this..

I want to know who's behind this. Who are the usual suspects, so to speak. "Worst is a picture of him asleep. Grainy cell-phone quality, just his head and naked shoulders but it's bad enough. His hair's samurai-dark" - So this is recent, and since it's not Jin who took it who else gets to see him naked? only the betrayed wife.. not Midori!.. right? o_o
I always thought it would be Yamapi (like this crazy thought, Jin took the picture for personal lovestruck reasons, and Yamapi just used it against him with maybe a hand from Souji. I Know, crazy..) or even Ueda maybe (even more crazy? XD)

But DAMN! That was pure evil DD:

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

It's all started so sweet, normal and.. nice(xD)

Oy, no teasing sensitive little authorflowers!

I kind of expected that. I had a feeling this idyll would explode like this.

Well suspected! :) But due to some special pleading we did not let Kame get eaten by a tiger. We want points for that!

We like how you line up the 'evidence' in order to find suspects. Of course we won't give anything away. (And we're wondering if we should have a poll now about who people think did this. Alas, no time...)

But DAMN! That was pure evil DD:

Authors bow grandly. Thank you! ♥

[prettyorianna.livejournal.com]

Oh my...

Um...

Stuff. Ness.

Seriously, did not see that coming. At least, not yet. Had it pegged as a maybe but a more in-the-future maybe.

Wouldn't it be kind of interesting if it turned out to be Souji after all like last time, if he found out about Kame and Jin and was jealous of how happy they seem when his happiness with Kame was ruined...

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Oh my...
Um...
Stuff. Ness.

LOL. You are cute. Thank you, we love knowing that we have reduced our readers to stuffness. ;p

Seriously, did not see that coming. At least, not yet. Had it pegged as a maybe but a more in-the-future maybe.

Hmm, we are starting to run out of chapters in which stuff could happen.

Wouldn't it be kind of interesting if it turned out to be Souji after all like last time, if he found out about Kame and Jin and was jealous of how happy they seem when his happiness with Kame was ruined...

Hmm... hmmmm... not giving anything away. :)

[souleater-angel.livejournal.com]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!!!!

Like. Just. Okay. Um, I'm gonna start from the second part, cuz um. Yeah. I think my hands are shaking.

Kamenashi Kazuya. What Are His Secrets. What Is His True Nature. Kamenashi, 26, married, Tokyo Sports has found out, secret meetings with men connections sex for favours sex what fans know lies more to come...

My cat just scratched at the door and I jumped. Jumped okay? Like, just... ughhh incoherentness!!

Who would do this? And how? Kame's right, he wouldn't have been caught with someone. And if it was Jin in the picture then I think he would've recognised him, so something about this is suspicious. And who other than Jin or Midori would be able to get a picture of Kame at least half naked?

Discreet boys Kamenashi sees, he could get anyone but he pays for their silence, a concerned inside source reveals.
I almost feel bad for saying it, but the word 'concerned' makes me think of Yamapi, even though I really don't think he would do something like this, but again I can just see his concern for Jin to be just that strong. But again I really really hope not.

Then we have ex-boyfriends to consider, so Souji or Naoki, but there's really not enough to go on with them. A client maybe? But that would be stupid cuz Kame could expose them too. Unless they're not famous. hmm. Some people say Midori, but I really doubt that too.
Anyway it's obvious I have no clue who on earth did this and I'll have to SUFFER UNTIL NEXT WEEK so moving on.

I love you
Throwing that in there so suddenly was probably not good for my already frantically beating heart.
Make Kame panic and everything comes out eh? He and Jin might as well be on a sinking ship with only seconds left. Poor Kame-chan.

Okay, now the beginning of the chapter, now that my breathing is somewhat normal again. it's not

We get Kame-chan cooking again! I'm a huge sucker for that.

Kame turns a little red. "I'm cooking," he says, biting back a smile.
"They're nice pants for cooking." Jin can be flexible. Hee.. :D

Kame's attempts at slipping 'professional music career' casually into the conversation... *bounces*

"Have you ever thought about doing that professionally?"
That's cute.
Haha Jin has absolutely no idea what's going through Kame's head. XD.


"Missed you," Jin whispers when Kame tilts his head so Jin can be sloppy and teasing some more, and yeah, it's been the worst and the best kind of missing, worse and lonelier than after every other date and best in all the quiet moments when his heart goes tight with how crazy they were, how perfect it was after. He wants to tackle Kame and never ever let him up again. ...*melts*

Picturing Kame and Jin eating pasta on the sofa with Jin's feet under Kame's legs... I think I'm going to stake a claim to that as my happy place.

"...And they're not like… the conbini guy who'll go broke if everyone in the neighbourhood thinks he's a pervert. You're all rich guys." He breathes out shakily; he didn't mean to go there but that's where they ended up, and it's the truth.
At the other end of the couch Kame has gone very still. Jin straightens up a little, sits up cross-legged, the slump feels weird.

I hope this little 'disagreement' didn't damage anything between them, since I know it's a real issue for both of them.


And then all this crap happens to Kame. Seriously. Thank goodness I force myself to read this after work, cuz I am in no shape to do anything right now. Dang it I have homework to do! What am I going to do now??!! HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GET THROUGH THIS WEEK??!

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!!!!

You think you get to complain? Look at what we're doing to KAME!

Like. Just. Okay. Um, I'm gonna start from the second part, cuz um. Yeah. I think my hands are shaking.

We are quite disgustingly proud of ourselves for eliciting this reaction.

My cat just scratched at the door and I jumped. Jumped okay? Like, just... ughhh incoherentness!!

LOLOL authors rolling on floor being happy. But srsly in doubt we blame the cat.

And if it was Jin in the picture then I think he would've recognised him, so something about this is suspicious. And who other than Jin or Midori would be able to get a picture of Kame at least half naked?

Good questions, all of which Kame is currently asking himself too.

I almost feel bad for saying it, but the word 'concerned' makes me think of Yamapi, even though I really don't think he would do something like this, but again I can just see his concern for Jin to be just that strong. But again I really really hope not.

We aren't telling. (Well, you didn't expect us to, right?) But you are right, Yamapi would definitely be in the pool of possible suspects.

A client maybe? But that would be stupid cuz Kame could expose them too.

Yeah. And they have signed confidentiality agreements, even if they didn't have to worry about exposure. Still... maybe one went ballistic... #evilauthors #stillnottelling

I love you
Throwing that in there so suddenly was probably not good for my already frantically beating heart.
Make Kame panic and everything comes out eh?

Yep. Poor Kame-chan doesn't deal well with panic.

We get Kame-chan cooking again! I'm a huge sucker for that.

Maybe we should add a 'cooking kink' tag to this story. ;p

Picturing Kame and Jin eating pasta on the sofa with Jin's feet under Kame's legs... I think I'm going to stake a claim to that as my happy place.

You are very welcome to it. We're happy that this image works. (See, sometimes we're nice to people before we DO THINGS to them!)

Dang it I have homework to do! What am I going to do now??!! HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GET THROUGH THIS WEEK??!

Um. Re-read some fluffy chapters? Write fluffyfic? SUFFER?

Thank you for this lovely comment! ♥

[tsuki-nanjo.livejournal.com]

EHHHH?? Why people have to make suffer my sweet Kame???!! Let them be in love, damn!! T.T I´m very angry with this "paparats"
Is Kame thinking that Jin took the photo?? I hope not... This is very bad for them, I don´t like paranoic Kame with poor Jin again. It´s normal that someone just caught them but I expected to be Midori. Don´t make them suffer much pleaseeee!! Thank you for the chapter ;) !!

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

EHHHH?? Why people have to make suffer my sweet Kame???!!

Maybe because sweet Kame isn't sweet to his wife? And is lying to everybody? (Or maybe because the authors are cruel, cruel poeple. HAHAHA!)

Is Kame thinking that Jin took the photo?? I hope not...

Questions, questions...

It´s normal that someone just caught them but I expected to be Midori.

Who knows, maybe it was Midori?

Don´t make them suffer much pleaseeee!!

We'll try, okay? But these things... go their course. Can't stop the press machine, right?

Thank you for this comment! :)

it's gonna be a long wait til thursday.

Not so long now... Thank you for commenting!

[ladyc2]

I said the paparrazzi are evil. Wasn't really expecting them to come after Kame again though D: I guess the crap had to hit the fan at some point and there's not much of the story left to go, but arrghhh!! this is too mean.

Next Thursday is waaaaaaaaay to far away.

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

I said the paparrazzi are evil.

Doesn't everybody say the paparazzi are evil? :p

I guess the crap had to hit the fan at some point and there's not much of the story left to go, but arrghhh!! this is too mean.

You wanted fluffy crap? (Um. Forgive us for that mental image. >_<) Nice crap? Pleasant crap? *g*

Thank you for commenting! :)

[sakurascorpion.livejournal.com]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *wailsssss*
Why'd you end it thereeeeeee
I wanna know what happens next!!!
Awesome cliffhanger
Loved the chapter
Need to knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww *faints*

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *wailsssss*

Your pained comment made us giggle horribly. :D Thank you! (And please faint carefully, don't hit your head!!)

[brindhakrishnan.livejournal.com]

Actually when reading the first part of the chapter where Akame had their first disagreement and makeup session I wasn't expecting the ending at all and now I am just more concerned with the last part.. What happened, how did the pictures get taken etc etc etc and what is going to happen now???? Are Kame and Jin going to be ok? Just when their relationship was starting to feel normal, this had to happen? For now I shall await the next chapter and hope they pull through this. Thanks for sharing and see you next week!~~

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

They were two pretty different sections, yeah. We hoped the contrast might do some nice work for us.

What's going to happen now... well, that'll depend on Kame, won't it? What would you like him to do? (No, we are not taking requests, it's already written, but we're intrigued. *g*)

Thank you for commenting, looking forward to seeing you next week!

[fragile-melodia.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.. here we go.
Like I said. It´s too good to be true.
I´ve been thinking almost all week about who the hell did that to Kame. I couldn´t fall asleep yesterday so I entertained my mind with this mystery.
First person who came into my mind was Midori (simple) - she could find out and wants revenge (like having a fly cop behind Kame´s ass) She could easily get his photo in bed. - buuuut, she don´t seems to be like that to me (suprise me?)
Second - Yamapi - yeah... he doesn´t like Kame. But how could he gets his hands on bed photo? Don´t think Jin´s such a dummy and so much in love (oh.. we sooo love a denial!) to have it in his phone ( which means that Yamapi could stole it.) No. It could be only someone, who sleep with Kazu or have access to him.

Well... so I though about Yuuya - maybe he is not so "pure" like we think and he is an escort. He can get around a club with a little effort. Or that guy Eda.. he is cliente, has money to bribe someone and maybe felt offended, when Kame took Jin away. But there´s still something missing... Hm.. Tatsuya? He seems to be professional. Kame´s ex boyfriend? He already got what he wants, rite?? Damn, u are killin´ me! :D Thanks heaven Thursday is tomorrow.

Oh, and when I´ve got frustrated over this topic I was thinking about ending.. u know something about lot of angst *cough*, growing apart *cough cough*, Jin gettin famous *cough* happy ending *puppy eyes*
Ok, I will stop for now... looking forward to tomorrow!

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

We're really happy we kept you wondering. :)

Not going to say anything about...um, anything, really, but we do enjoy reading your thought processes. Some things there which nobody has mentioned so far and we were wondering if no-one was thinking of the possibilities at all.

Yuuya... is PURE? That is very cute. And hey, maybe we even know what you mean. Only he is a lot more jaded than Jin and has done a lot more stuff.

Growing apart?? OMG the ANGST. >.<

You'll see... tomorrow. :)

[cnidaria-jin.livejournal.com]

I just can't wait for the next update *____________________*

[b_akakame.livejournal.com]

Weeeeeh~~~ so many sweet Akame moments Q___Q Makes me wanna behave really fangirly and get all bouncy and pretend this is real #completelylosthermindnow

Too bad they didn’t get to eat the house-shaped noodles though! They taste better than the mushroom-shaped ones Q__Q not as good as the Disney ones but still better! And yes, it took me very long to figure this out when I was a child!

But their days are really getting sweeter and sweeter. They do miss each other quite badly by now. Wow. o.o
Actually I found their little disagreement quite nice. This sounds so wrong, but it just like… shows their relationship is getting deeper when they discuss about stuff like that. It includes their past and their opinions. Good thing it didn’t turn into a real fight, though.

It makes me wonder if there’s a chance for Jin to maybe completely make up with his family some time. :/ Or his father at least. Would be sad if there’d be no chance for Jin to talk things out with them, explain being gay is not such a bad thing and show them his new nice job that has nothing to do with prostitution and introduce his famous boyfriend later. But I guess that’s not what the rest of the story will be about, right? XD”

Ooh… and unforeseen turn of events. D: totally did not expect this to happen T__T. Poor Kame… really. Grah! To be honest I was rather expecting something like Midori catching them red-handed *coughs*. The thriller loving part of me now agonises who might be behind all of this! xD Was thinking about either Naoki or Souji first to be honest. Rather Souji, though. Out of jealousy. But I don’t quite believe he has followed Kame all along and maybe he would have come up with more than that? Mmh…. need to go hunting for hints from now on xD just to discover that who did this is not quite relevant in the end? *laughs*

Grah, and in the end rather than be totally upset, I’m all happy because Kame thinks “I love you” already T____T”

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Really? The house ones are better? Damn. *g*

We agree, being able to have disagreements is important. Unfortunately the turtle comes with disagreement!baggage from a very confrontational ex.

Jin and his family are a bit of a sore point. No, the rest of the story won't be about that, though it'll be mentioned again briefly. As for the boyfriend though, Jin would presumably be too careful to out Kame like that to homophobic idiots. :/

Well, you'll know by now. If it had been Souji, we'd at least have to have given him a proper appearance, we think. :)

Yeah, he thinks 'I love you', but isn't it sad? :(
