9½ Weeks - 1½ drabble: Tuesday (Week 9)

Tuesday
The building is so new. Jin feels like a thief sneaking around, learning the corridors, learning to ignore the stares.
New building and all around shine, yet they still tape the names of the groups to the doors with sticky tape. He blinks at it with a twisting sense of familiarity.
"You here to submit an application?"
He flinches like a thief too. Ueda, jeans, blue contacts; an expression that says Jin's application wouldn't get him very far.
"I came in to sign stuff," he says; shrugs. "But he's busy."
Ueda looks Jin over, slowly, twice. "I stayed out of your shit," he says calmly. "I stayed out of his shit. Don't bring it to our door now just because he's decided he needs a lapdog. Got it?"
"Loud and clear," Jin says, and Ueda steps past him, into the KAT-TUN dressing room, the door falling shut in Jin's face.

Date: 2013-02-26 01:26 pm (UTC)on the bright side, if people consider Jin Kame's lapdog, at least they're underestimating him.

Date: 2013-02-26 03:28 pm (UTC)God DAMN, Ueda ain't having none of nobody's shit today or ever. O_O;; UEDA IS MY 3RD FAV KAT-TUN MEMBER TOO AKJSDHGKJG I totally jinxed it when I said chapters ago I hope he hasn't gone cold. |D But I mean, this is just as nasty as Kame used to be really and well, I totally understand why he's suspicious of Jin coming back. I certainly wouldn't expect him to be all "HEY what are YOU doing here? :D" At least Jin will have his own office to hide away from everyone. :'D

I always like your characterisation of him, you've written different versions of him with little in common, but somehow they all fit him perfectly *____*

Date: 2013-02-26 07:48 pm (UTC)Aw, thank you! He's very difficult to get hold of, Ueda, but we love him lots. Sometimes we stress one aspect of his character, sometimes another, and because he's so... versatile... it kind of works. :)

Date: 2013-02-26 06:15 pm (UTC)But damn, that must've hurt. That really did. And... what the hell is Ueda's problem? What is he even thinking? That Jin wants back to KAT-TUN? That Jin will pretend nothing has ever happened? I mean, okay I didn't expect him to be all smiles and happy when seeing Jin again, but I wouldn't have expected his reaction to be exactly like this.
Don't bring it to our door now just because he's decided he needs a lapdog.
HA! As if Jin's only a lapdog for Kame!

Date: 2013-02-26 07:49 pm (UTC)Ueda is quite concerned to figure out just what Jin is for Kame. Not for bad reasons, just because he wants to know how things stand.

Date: 2013-02-26 06:18 pm (UTC)So, Tuesday is signing stuff day. Neat! Now here's hoping Jin won't really become Kame's lapdog.

Date: 2013-02-26 09:21 pm (UTC)Maybe it's a secret warning to everyone that they're replaceable so don't get any funny ideas...I wonder if the door to Kame's office has his name engraved on a brass plaque - just so you all know he's here to stay...
Ueda...having read all the comments, I understand he's protective and not wanting Jin to rock the boat, given that the waves from Julie haven't even died down yet. It's similar to Kame's inner circle wanting to know what Jin was doing at the office last time and sending Tegoshi to
interrogatequestion him, except Ueda doesn't even want to know, he's just making his priorities clear (just like he did during the Kame vs. Julie war).lapdog...well, they do cuddle but I don't think Ueda would want to know what else K and A get up to...

Date: 2013-02-28 01:17 pm (UTC)Ueda's being a bit of hardass but given what KAT-TUN's been through and Jin's talent for not just rocking the boat but completely flipping it over... (And hey, this isn't the story where we made everyone their nicest exactly.)
Yeah, Jin does other things in Kame's lap...

Date: 2013-03-04 07:16 pm (UTC)Also, yes, this is a sudden change to adapt to. Give it time. :D
