Week 4: Sunday
Jin wriggles his foot, grimaces, and slips off the high computer chair to stand behind the little square window in his little square box. His feet get cold when he sits down too long because the little square box has no heating. At three in the morning, it makes a difference even in May. He wonders what they'll do come November.
A double-dot of headlights a few bends away tells him he'll have company again in a minute. Last night, his first night, he was grateful for the warning it gave him. Find the buzzer, make sure the book's open on the right page, check his cap's on straight and his gloves still white. It's not too difficult.
When the truck pulls up, he checks the number on the computer, notes details in the book, salutes the driver with his white gloves, and buzzes him through. Same routine as always. Unless it's a number that's not in the book, but that hasn't happened yet. If the number's not in the book, he can get out of his little box and get in an argument with a truck driver who won't be happy.
Cold feet are probably better.
He just walked into this job, saw the ad hanging in one of the chain's stores, Security Wanted. Jin hasn't had much luck with security, not being the bouncer type, but he can sit in a little square box.
Probably helped that truck drivers are less likely to be former KAT-TUN fans. Or maybe he just got lucky.
The huge iron gate rolls shut slowly; Jin has to keep an eye on it until it's fully closed. Exciting.
It's good though. Hourly rate higher than minimum wage, two weekend nights at twelve hours. Almost thirty thousand a week, and he can hope for extra shifts if the weekday guys get sick.
Still less than...
Less than Kame gives him for five – ten, fifteen – minutes. Of whatever. Whatever, is how he's decided to think about it. Decided long before he knew, really, or so it seems.
He's got a little radio. Or he could read his e-mails, if he got any worth speaking of. He twists his foot and fidgets on the chair, heat rising in his face despite the chill.
He looked through his old mails yesterday. When he came home at nine in the morning and was too wired to sleep and too tired not to think of hands in his hair, Kame slick and bitter and filling his mouth. Kame adrift and random after and how he tried to keep it under control and then ran the fuck away.
He wondered if the magical Kamenashi ascendancy had been painted in the sky back then, if the signs were there to see and he'd just missed what they meant.
Pi mentioned him once, in one of his last e-mails. But that was over eight years ago, and just about the gay thing.
He hates dwelling. He hates missing people. People who won't even be the same, not after all these years. What does Jin even know? Jin's in a square little box with white gloves on, and can't just call... Ueda, and chat with him about the good old times oh and by the way when did Kamenashi start running for company president?
He blinks when there's another twin light on the horizon. Work, approaching. Kame's always working. Moving, shaking, barely enough time to unzip his pants.
And lights coming around that corner, again. Cap, gloves. Book.
Smile, you're on.

Date: 2013-01-13 07:45 pm (UTC)just not enough to make Kame unnecessary
I suspected that Jin knew about Kame being gay in the last 'day' after Jin thought about himself that he's not even gay.
or well, that we know that Kame is gay in general, but that was obligatory for me ._.
Figures that we are already in the middle of "let's not get Kame out of my mind" phase.
and why chat up Ueda? and no good fairy Pi. D:
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-14 04:19 pm (UTC)He's starting small... :-)
Yeah, Jin knows Kame is gay, has known for a while. We figure that in KAT-TUN it's actually an open secret.
No Pi!Fairy. So sad. #gomenne
Hey, you were FIRST! :p
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-17 09:45 am (UTC)I do hope he appears somewhere in this story, but... I look forward to a happy end, but not a happy ever after thing without some dents in the ball of happiness.
Now I have Pi with small fairy wings in my head. Work will be amusing from now on. XD
Hey, you were FIRST! :p
Never ending teasing~~~~~ XD

Date: 2013-01-13 08:02 pm (UTC)I'd like to say that at least Jin isn't thinking about his family problems and stuff, but I'm not sure if his thoughts about Kame at the moment would be any better. Hmm. It's probably hard, not really being able to tell what the hell has gone on in Kame's life and what's up with him to make him come to Jin like that but... yeah. Jin, it should be a tiny bit obvious that it's about you *kicks*

Date: 2013-01-13 08:42 pm (UTC)I was really sad about Jin and Pi's friendship... I would think it'd survive this but I may be a bit too optimistic... still, eight years. Ouch.
Great work, as always. I'm looking forward to more Akame interaction :D
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-14 04:20 pm (UTC)Kame totally deserved to be left hanging, nothing evil about it. *g*
Yeah, it's sad about Pi... well, more on that later.

Date: 2013-01-13 09:14 pm (UTC)And oh no, I didn't even consider yet that Jin lost all of his friends. Even Yamapi. Well that's what I got out of this anyway, but knowing me I might be so far off target again... It's sad, how dense I am. When it comes to fic, anyway! OTHERWISE I AM PRETTY AWESOME. 8D YOU GUYS ARE SUPER AWESOME BTW!

Date: 2013-01-14 04:22 pm (UTC)But it takes a lot longer. >_>
LOL, don't worry, you're not being dense there! Not that we could have an opinion on your overall density. *g* WE ARE SURE YOU ARE AWESOME TOO! :DDD

This gives me the gigglez :3 There should be more occupations like that. Go Jin go! There must be more places where they don't care about boybands :D
Less than Kame gives him for five – ten, fifteen – minutes. Of whatever. Whatever, is how he's decided to think about it. Decided long before he knew, really, or so it seems.
O_O... I fear Jin is in way deeper than what I thought at first. "Whatever"? *sigh*
When he came home at nine in the morning and was too wired to sleep and too tired not to think of hands in his hair, Kame slick and bitter and filling his mouth. Kame adrift and random after and how he tried to keep it under control and then ran the fuck away.
Jin seems to have thought the same as I did about that odd situation. Reasonably it should be Jin running away.
Pi mentioned him once, in one of his last e-mails. But that was over eight years ago, and just about the gay thing.
My mind just skipped the gay thing and ended up freezing on the fact that Pi's last mails came over eight years ago... (is that the right way f reading it?) That's horrible. It's like Jin has been put in isolation in his flat, no wife, no kids, no friends hanging around to cheer him up, just Kame coming over, Mr. Naughty Turtle who likes Jin to play for him once in a while. Play with him once in a while.
[...]oh and by the way when did Kamenashi start running for company president?
Mr. Naughty Turtle is a busy man indeed :P Jin knows very well what was going on with Kame meddling in the Tegoshi-mess .
Kame's always working. Moving, shaking, barely enough time to unzip his pants.
Hi there Jin you have just come to the same conclusion as we all have. Kame is a naughty turtle with an addiction to work.
Okay, enough quote spamming :P It was a short but informative update. And the bits I picked out mostly relates to Kame somehow but I liked the whole thing. I actually loved it because you managed to set the mood and get us inside Jin's brain in this update, getting me seriously anxious about reading about their next playdate or reading the next update *___*
And this comments is a tad bit more detailed/focused to make up for me lazying around before reading the update ^_^;Thanks guys!
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-14 04:27 pm (UTC)There must be more places where they don't care about boybands
Though wouldn't it be kind of hilarious if he kept encountering fans in weird places? 'Jin trains to be a plumber... whoops, that one is an Ueda fan, and this one thinks Nakamaru would make a great, punctual plumber, too...'
Reasonably it should be Jin running away.
Yup.
You're right about the reading of the Pi info. Those are the last e-mails he's got of Pi. Poor guy. Everyone needs a Pi in their life. T_______T
Mr. Naughty Turtle who likes Jin to play for him once in a while. Play with him once in a while.
This is like comment poetry. Wise comment poetry. *_____*

:DDD You got yourself some pleased authors. Thank you very much for this cool comment and all the details, that was shiny happy stuff!
And we're kidding about the late. It was just impossible to resist. *g*

Date: 2013-01-14 04:53 pm (UTC)It WOULD be pretty entertaining for us readers to read about those kinds of scenarios XD That awful moment when the man using the locker next to Jin in a factory has a huge poster of sexy Anan!Kame on the inside of his locker door, or when Jin applies for a job at a printing company and he realizes they specialise in JE doujinshi etc
I kinda wanted that to be me reading far too much into the Pi-mail, because yes, somehow Jin automatically comes with a Pi (it's supposed to always be that way T__T). But it also makes sense that Pi wouldn't be his close friend anymore too somehow.
Wise comment poetry? *blushes* I'm gonna go hide in a corner now (hey guys you shouldn't be complimenting me, it's supposed to be the other way round! XD ) Shiny happy stuff is what happens when updates continuously holds this amazing quality <3 Did I tell you I love this fic already? (I did didn't I...:P)
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-13 09:41 pm (UTC)So you guys CAN be nice to himLess than Kame gives him for five – ten, fifteen – minutes. Of whatever.
Idk why but I grinned ridiculously at this, EHEHEHE I CAN'T STILL.
But, phew, I'm relieved he's not regretting it or anything. :'D Just still a little O_O;; but that's okay and expected. :DD *more pats*
He hates dwelling. He hates missing people. People who won't even be the same, not after all these years.
AWWWWW D: *HUGS HIM* You know, I think that's what makes his situation even sadder, that he lost all of his friends, not KAT-TUN particularly but like Pi and Ryo, his real BFFs. It must be hard adjusting to having them around for so long and then they aren't there and then your life kinda falls apart and there's no one to really catch you and support you. I guess maybe that's why, even at the beginning, no matter how angry he was at Kame, he couldn't really hate him, not entirely. Because, for the first time in years, Kame is the first person to give a shit about him, for whatever reason. But the point is, Kame still cares. There are plenty of other hot people who would happily give Kame blow jobs, but he goes to Jin and well, I'm sure Jin has to know that, which is why he was a bit freaked out. BUT he went along with it anyway and you wouldn't do that if you really didn't like the other person, right? I know maybe to others, it seems Jin only did it/allowed it because he needs Kame's monies, but because Jin is not a prostitue this time lol, I have to think differently about it. :3 I felt like it was Jin's subconscious way of saying "Thank you, for giving exactly one fuck about me. HAVE A MESSY AWKWARD BLOW JOB AS A TOKEN OF MY APPRECIATION CAUSE CLEARLY THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT." /analysis XDD
I love the ending line, perfect! <333

Date: 2013-01-14 04:27 pm (UTC)within reason:DDDDThat's a pretty good description of his frame of mind: not regretting, just O_O *g* Maybe even @_@ or >_>
There are plenty of other hot people who would happily give Kame blow jobs, but he goes to Jin and well, I'm sure Jin has to know that
Oh yes. People would line up to blow Kame if Kame was in the market. Ooooh yes!
Definitely not a prostitute - you make a lot of sense here, and we love how you put that last thing. Yes, exactly one fuck. It feels good to have that happen. #poorJin
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-13 11:06 pm (UTC)then ran the fuck away
AMEN! KEEP THAT ATTITUDE UP, JIN! ♥ Love how he saw straight through that!
It made me sad to read the bit about Pi, and all the others by association, even though I'd expected it. Still hurt. ;___; Though the gay thing intrigues me: was it a) Pi telling Jin, off the record, that Kame was gay (which I think is least probable, since Jin would probably know about that from their junior and KAT-TUN days) or more likely b) Kame was outed. or c) came out of the closet. Am leaning towards b), but I know you won't tell. ;)
Smile, you're on.
Love how this conjures up the whole idol thing.
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-14 04:33 pm (UTC)Love how he saw straight through that!
:DDD He's a smart guy. In his own way. *g*
The gay thing: for once we can TELL YOU because we didn't even mean to be mysterious, just off-hand. *g* Pi mentioned the fact that Kame was gay as part of a regular conversation, just gossip about mutual acquaintances, because he knew and Jin knew and it was no great secret in that close circle.
Love how this conjures up the whole idol thing.
The one of us who wrote that is grinning very happily now. *g*
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-13 11:08 pm (UTC)You took Pi away from Jin?! There should be a law that when Jin doesn't have Kame that you just Don't Do That. I'm swimming in way too many "poor Jin"s already! And somehow Jin is falling into the whore trap
againsuddenly. And Kame's weirdagainand of course horny.I swear if any of this actually happens to Jin I am going to blame you two.
:P
If I don't comment for a while it's cuz I'm drowning in the Poor Jins. Make it happier and I'll make some effort. T_T
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-14 04:34 pm (UTC)But you can't blame us! It's not our fault. We had a prompt. And it's not going to happen. Of course it's not going to happen. We know better than that!
We hope to hear from you again soon. :DDD

Again, the question...where are Jin's friends now? That even Pi's last email to Jin was over eight years ago. Did Jin try to disappear from the face of the earth? Or did he and his friends just drifted apart? Gah! So many questions running through my mind right now. Update soon...please… (^_^)v
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-14 04:37 pm (UTC)More on Pi later, but yeah, we felt very very bad. Jin needs his Pi. T_____T
Update soon... hmm, we'll see what we can do. >_>
Thank you for the feedback! ♥

Date: 2013-01-14 08:06 am (UTC)jin's a security guard..he's much luckier than kyohei (sorry for the kyohei reference), he gets to stay in his white box hidden from the public..
at least he's got a job now, though its only during weekends..additional income for him is good..
i like how he called the kame situation as "whatever"..and i like how kame's still in his mind long after what happened..
so, he got the info from pi that kame's gay..from his last mail 8 years ago..so even yamapi didn't stay with him after all..what happened to them?
and jin, do mail ueda..i would like to know how that conversation goes..why ueda, by the way?
kame running for company's president, wow..more stress for him, i think..but kame thrives on work so maybe he's fine with it..
will there be more info on how KAT-TUN is?since you mention Ueda, i was just wondering if the other members will be mentioned too..
thanks for the update!!!
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-14 04:42 pm (UTC)Nothing wrong with Kyouhei references, we like the guy! :)
You'll find out what happened with Pi... we wouldn't have Pi drop out of Jin's life without having a reason for it. :)
Ueda... no particular reason, except the idea seemed nicely bizarre. We'll mention some other KAT-TUN members, yes.
Jin isn't entirely serious about Kame running for company president; but he can tell Kame is involving himself at higher levels than before. Yeah, stress, even longer working hours... Kame never stops.
Thank you for the cool comment! :)

Date: 2013-01-20 08:48 am (UTC)But I like it how you also describe these kind of situations and the developments in Jin’s life. And more important the way his thoughts wander here and there when they have time to wander. *g* Seems like Kame will stay ‘Kame’ now for a while? :3 Which is quite cool, because that sounds like progress. And it’s interesting how Jin still thinks about the thing with the blow job instead of just telling himself it never happened and just suppress it. Maybe that’s just because he’s confused or not as disgusted or untouched concerning the whole matter as he thinks he should be?
But OMG Pin friendship. ;___; What happened theeeere?
Also it’s intriguing how the last few lines switch a little between the work Jin has now and the idol work. How they seem to mix up a little. With the lights around them, the work they have, they smile they put have to put on. The immediate connection to Kame there again. And also the fact that Jin will maybe never be able to escape the whole idol thing.
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-21 09:27 pm (UTC)We're glad you like the in-between stuff, too. The Akame stuff is obviously the meat of the story, but it wouldn't work to just have Akame, so yay interesting thoughts and Jin's life!
And it’s interesting how Jin still thinks about the thing with the blow job instead of just telling himself it never happened and just suppress it.
He's both not as disgusted and untouched as he might expect, and also not disgusted enough to need to suppress it, really. It's just a thing that happened. A curious thing. :-)
Yes, OMG Pin friendship. You'll seeeeee.
