Week 6: Saturday
Saturday is a blur of sun and giggling kids and the hoots and lights of rollercoasters.
He's good for his word, takes Akira and Sara and their friends to Odaiba, a lone dad with four kids who ends up carrying a backpack full of bentos, Akira's sweater, and two pink and purple handbags.
He strolls behind a lot, support staff. For Sara, daring Yumi-chan on breakneck rides is more interesting than sitting on Jin's shoulders, and Akira and Park-kun have important discussions about important school business while eating chocolate bananas.
Jin doesn't mind. He used to hate being ignored, but with his kids, it just means he's no longer special to have around, no big reunion fuss after weeks of missing them. Just a proper, normal dad. Jin's good, with the handbags.
It smells of roasted almonds where he lets them run off to a haunted house. Jin sips coffee while he waits. He's too old for haunted houses, definitely.
He wonders if Kame gets a break this weekend, or if he works all the time. He doesn't seem to have much else. Sad life, despite all the money.
The money.
He should be embarrassed and he's not, and he should hate it when he thinks of Kame's hands holding his hips, and it runs through him head to toe, the feeling of that in his memory.
That way it's useful to be ignored; he gets his head to himself. Doesn't have to combine body memory of Kame kneeling behind him with responsible parenting and questions about volcanoes and deadly rollercoaster accidents.
His horde relives the haunted house experience for the next twenty minutes, because apparently Yumi screamed but so did Akira, and whether one is a boy or a girl is a very important factor. Jin buys them candy, and some of those almonds for himself.
Kame hasn't fucked anybody in five years. Jin wonders what he's thinking now, if he's happy it took the edge off or mad at himself for the loss of control.
Jin doesn't even beat off much. He kind of stopped feeling like it. Not that that's relevant, to Kame or to the fact that Sara just skinned her knee and has her face scrunched up hard trying not to cry.
"Ow, that looks sore, baby girl," Jin says dropping his pack to dig down into it. "You're brave."
Sara sniffles but is keeping her mouth firmly shut. Akira is looking on very anxiously and Jin just wants to give him a hug, but you always deal with the bleeding kid first.
"It's bleeding," Yumi points out helpfully. "You should get stitches."
"It'll stop soon," Jin says to Sara, who's keeping her eyes fixed on him. "I'll just run some of our water over it so it gets clean, okay? You can whack me if it stings bad."
He's careful, slow, and he doesn't get whacked. It's harder to keep Yumi from poking her nose too close and getting in the way of water, hands, everything.
"Now you'll get a big..." Jin checks the box "...green band aid. Hey, that's great, you like green."
"You should hope it doesn't scar," Yumi tells Sara in a voice of terror. "Girls shouldn't have scars. You'll have to wear make-up on your knee."
"Girl pirates can have scars," Sara says. Her frilly sock has gotten stained, and her jaw's locked in that stubborn Sara way. "Right, Dad?"
"Absolutely," Jin nods, bagging the band aids and the rest of his dad utensils. "All pirates have scars, even the Pirate Queen. You've got to be brave to be a Pirate Queen."
"Yeah," Sara says to Yumi, like this is something even little kids know.
Yumi bites her lip and frowns. "What do girl pirates do?" She sounds grudgingly intrigued.
Akira, safely out of the reach of any fatherly hugs, squints at Sara when she drags Yumi away to explain booty and the on-ship chain of command. Jin's job would be handbag carrier and general dogsbody, he guesses.
He thinks for a moment, about pirates, and Kame, and commands. But then they arrive at some ginormous swing and all he's got time to think about is his queasy stomach as he watches the kids get buckled in, hoping they don't end up killing themselves just when he's on good terms with Meisa again.

Date: 2013-01-26 02:15 pm (UTC)But it's surprising that he didn't feel ashamed or weirded out by the sex. I mean, he's like whoring himself to Kame just so he could provide child support to Meisa. Well, I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. And he enjoyed the sex so, no harm done. XD

Date: 2013-01-27 10:34 am (UTC)We figure he didn't feel ashamed or weirded out while it was happening, and now he's mature enough to not have some sort of belated freak-out. :D

It was memorable, he can't quite compartmentalize as efficiently. *g*
Hahaha, now you (and he) will never know where Kame might be lurking... >_>

Or too scared to go in XDD I would've wanted a screaming daddy!Jin XDD
He's so adorable with the kids ;www; And pirates! Ihihihi I love Sara :DD
BUT JIN, WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT KAME WHEN YOU'RE WITH YOUR KIDS. >DD

Date: 2013-01-26 03:34 pm (UTC)He used to hate being ignored, but with his kids, it just means he's no longer special to have around, no big reunion fuss after weeks of missing them. Just a proper, normal dad. I had to re-read that line before I got it. Jin's really matured so much and I'm glad the kids feel they have a dad who is always around now too.
Haunted House - yes Jin, keep telling yourself it's not that you can't go in without losing all dignity in front of the kids, you're just not interested...Sara may have inherited Jin's personality, but Akira seems to have inherited something from his dad too...
Sara and Yumi - that's such a typical girls' friendship, loads to talk about but subtly trying to outdo each other at the same time. And Sara also inherited Jin's love for pirates!
Jin thinking abt Kame
and his bodyduring the limited time he has with his kids and He should be embarrassed and he's not because Jin alomost forgot abt the money last time because it's not for the money so much and Jin likes being with Kame! At least that's what it is in my head...Hmm, regarding the show where Kame talks about his love for food, sleep and sex - it was the first ep of ナイトシャッフル of 2013, they were playing the rest of the footage from the 28 cities YNB tour and Kame was in Fukuoka (Hakata?). I don't have a link to it right now, but I can dig it up when I get home if you can't find it?

Date: 2013-01-27 10:37 am (UTC)Sorry we wrote it confusingly. :D But yeah, we figured he's matured too. From the teenager who was always HEY PAY ATTENTION TO ME to Daddy!Jin.
Sara may have inherited Jin's personality, but Akira seems to have inherited something from his dad too...
♥♥♥
(And yes, pirates are genetic. *g*)
Hmmm, it really seems like you are on to Jin. >_> Thank you for this comment, and thank you also for the info of the show! If you have the link handy, feel free to send it on, but we can also go looking for ourselves!

Date: 2013-01-26 05:08 pm (UTC)I really like how it sounds <3 <3 very cute chapter with all the little moments that I like a lot <3
poor poor little Kame! 5 YEARS?! that must be a painful break-up and Kame being Kame and I love this Kame through Jin's eyes! it seems like whole world against Kame and only Jin who is thinking about hands on his hips and caring about lonely Kame. Maybe he just really understands him the best <3
I love it a lot!!!
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-27 10:38 am (UTC)You know, in this story, that may already be true just because Kame talks to nobody else except, maybe, sometimes, his mom. >_> (But it's also true in other ways.)
Five years is long, for anyone, but especially also for Kame. ;__;
Glad you enjoyed the dip into cuteness! :D

i was a bit worried about jin being out with four kids on his own..but he handled it pretty well..
and love the queen of pirates reference!!
-He should be embarrassed and he's not, and he should hate it when he thinks of Kame's hands holding his hips, and it runs through him head to toe, the feeling of that in his memory.- -- many things have already happened to jin to be embarrassed by this and besides, its with kame..he knows kame and he enjoyed the experience, right?
-That way it's useful to be ignored; he gets his head to himself. Doesn't have to combine body memory of Kame kneeling behind him with responsible parenting and questions about volcanoes and deadly roller coaster accidents.- --love how kame keeps on popping up on jin's thoughts even when he's out with kids and friends..can't really blame him, it is kame..
thanks again!!!

Date: 2013-01-27 10:39 am (UTC)i was a bit worried about jin being out with four kids on his own..but he handled it pretty well..
Awww. :-) Yes, he did! And remember, Jin has a lot of practice with two, and one of his two is... a handful. So yeah, four is more, but he's not totally without kid practice and coming to it cold.
love how kame keeps on popping up on jin's thoughts even when he's out with kids and friends..can't really blame him, it is kame..
No, we can't blame him either, it was a bit of a memorable occasion. *g*
Thank you for the feedback! :DD

Date: 2013-01-26 10:02 pm (UTC)Just like Kame got Jin good, apparently.Somehow I'm glad that he sees his kids often enough now that they ignore him, but it's kind of sad to think about how they must've missed their dad in the past. I mean, Jin's not a jerk dad (or a jerk in general, really), so I don't want his kids to miss him and I don't want him to miss his kids. Not because of money problems and all that, anyway.
This line: He's too old for haunted houses, definitely. Jin, you cannot fool us. We know you're still a baby when it comes to scary stuff, dON'T TRY TO DENY IT.
Don't worry, bby, we love you either way.The bit where Jin thinks what Kame's thinking, are like, exactly my thoughts! How does Kame feel about it? But also, how does Kame feel about the fact that he did it with Jin? How does Jin even feel about it, it's not clear. Obviously he's not about to go batshit crazy
(is he?)but it's also a little hard for me to believe that in the short time he and Kame got reunited again in quite a strange way Jin somehow developed feelings for the guy. Unless Kame isn't the only one who used to crush on his bandmate?I want to kick Yumi and hang out with Sara forever. Queen Pirate, it's brilliant. But also very sneaky of you two, incorporating concerts like that. Sheesh.
Oh, and I also liked that Jin got to carry pink and purple bags. That's just, like, the perfect image. I'm certain it absolutely wouldn't suit him, not even with his best dorky smile on his face, and that is exactly why I love it. Jin is one of those men who looks really manly but he's not specifically so, but since his outer appearance is like that it creates a wonderful image of him carrying tiny, girly bags. I love it.
And man, my comments always get so long, I'm surprised! This is all because of the wonderfulness of your story, and your talent! :D
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-27 10:40 am (UTC)LOL! Not your fault, we don't write about EVERYTHING we mention, but we were interested in the, erm, immediate aftermath. :D
Jin being away isn't much fun for the kids either, yeah. But now Jin has a steady source of income, so.... >_>
JIN REFUSES YOUR INSINUATION ABOUT HAUNTED HOUSES. He's getting quite huffy about it! Pah!
The bit where Jin thinks what Kame's thinking, are like, exactly my thoughts! How does Kame feel about it? But also, how does Kame feel about the fact that he did it with Jin? How does Jin even feel about it, it's not clear.
No. :-) These things are in an emergent and unclear state. *g*
Jin is one of those men who looks really manly but he's not specifically so, but since his outer appearance is like that it creates a wonderful image of him carrying tiny, girly bags.
*g* We couldn't resist it either. And Jin will just do a LOT for his kids; as soon as the kids are in the mix, it's like, image, what image?
Your comments are awesomesauce! ♥

Date: 2013-01-27 09:32 am (UTC)this is a good, little pressure leak of the 'how the hell will jin be now?' wonder. and it's more of the same. but with memory, too, now. nice. and, yes, i saw that:
He should be embarrassed and he's not, and he should hate it when he thinks of Kame's hands holding his hips, and it runs through him head to toe, the feeling of that in his memory. [..] Doesn't have to combine body memory of Kame kneeling behind him with responsible parenting and questions about volcanoes and deadly rollercoaster accidents. [..] Jin doesn't even beat off much. He kind of stopped feeling like it. Not that that's relevant, to Kame or to the fact that Sara just skinned her knee and has her face scrunched up hard trying not to cry. #hasopinions. but this works for the fic.
and sara - love her. feisty pirate queen. she's needed to be brave, hey. give her a hug from me?
thankyou as always, ladies.

Date: 2013-01-28 08:22 pm (UTC)Ha ha. For now. :p
Glad you love Sara! Jin is very proud of her. :)
Thank you for your thots! ♥

Date: 2013-01-27 04:39 pm (UTC)And ah, Kame's completely taking over Jin's thoughts, it seems. REALLY taking over them. It's not really about the money anymore, he's worried, curious and intrigued. It's lovely ♥
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-28 08:23 pm (UTC)We both happen to think that Jin is probably the perfect dad, so… glad that comes across. :)

Date: 2013-01-29 02:50 pm (UTC)The money.
He should be embarrassed and he's not, and he should hate it when he thinks of Kame's hands holding his hips, and it runs through him head to toe, the feeling of that in his memory.
He seems actually geuninely concerned for Kame which is really sweet and the fact that he's not at all ashamed or upset about the sex, YAAAAAAY!!! SO. HAPPY. ;_; And that he 's wondering about what Kame thinks and whether he thinks he lost control, that's an interesting thought! Would kill to know what that fabulous man is thinking about, besides work! XD Kinda odd to think about such things around his kids lol but its not like they can read minds so why not! :) It's also good reassurance for me, seeing that Jin does allow himself to care about Kame sometimes. I just wish I knew if Kame cares about him too and thinks about him like this.

Date: 2013-01-30 09:34 pm (UTC)Kinda odd to think about such things around his kids
We are very sure that lots of parents have occasionally thoughts about sex while their children are in the same room. *g* Kids don't work like a mindwipe pill, and this just happened to Jin... He'd be thinking about the car crash too if the car crash had happened!
I just wish I knew if Kame cares about him too and thinks about him like this.
Hmmm, what do you think? *g*
(no subject)
Date: 2013-01-30 01:10 pm (UTC)He's too old for haunted houses, definitely.
uhu.
Jin wonders what he's thinking now, if he's happy it took the edge off or mad at himself for the loss of control.
Man am I wondering that, too. From the way the phone call went, I'd say the latter.
All pirates have scars, even the Pirate Queen. You've got to be brave to be a Pirate Queen.
Jin Akanishi, challenging conservative gender roles since 2012. ♥ I think with the mother-in-law chapter this is the second time he actively tried to protect Sara from restrictive concepts of gender. Love it!!!
He thinks for a moment, about pirates, and Kame, and commands.
asdadsaf commands, there it is again. see? ^^

See? What? We see nothing. NOTHING, Dr Birdie. :p

The image of Jin with the handbags is just too priceless. *g* Bet they looked good on him!
He used to hate being ignored, but with his kids, it just means he's no longer special to have around, no big reunion fuss after weeks of missing them.
It’s nice how mature Jin has become. And that he doesn’t mind these meetings are not that ‘special’ anymore. In that ‘last time we met was 2 months ago and we never know when we can see each other again’-kind of special.
He's too old for haunted houses, definitely.
Sure. Or too scared. :P
Great that this day (or even the whole week) doesn’t start under the ‘get distracted no matter what’-theme. *g* And that Jin realizes and acknowledges that somehow he did like what Kame did to him. Also nice how he’s still worrying about Kame and can’t really get him out of his head.
Jin wonders what he's thinking now, if he's happy it took the edge off or mad at himself for the loss of control.
I’d still say both. *g*
Sara the little Queen of Pirates.
Which actually makes me wonder how much the kids know about Jin and KAT-TUN? Or if they actually care about stuff like that, that is.
I like that responsible side of Jin and how he behaves around the kids. And I also like how he can’t stop thinking about Kame in between without getting too distracted and all.

Date: 2013-02-19 08:40 pm (UTC)Shlubby daddy with shlubby jeans and hoodie, and purple sparkly bag. *g*
Oh yes, he's grown up a lot. He had to, and, well, now he knows to be grateful for stuff, too.
NEVER TOO SCARED. Just too... mature. Yes, mature.
The kids don't know that much. They know he was in the band, they know he left to be a musician and not an idol, and that he now 'writes music'. >_> Neither of them really care much about KAT-TUN because that was over by the time Akira was born, and a distant memory by the time Sara came around. A memory Jin didn't want to talk about, along with all the other showbiz stuff. So it's just not really on their radar.
Yay, term papers. And not even about the economy. :D
