Summary: It was all supposed to end with the tour...but what if they can't stop? What if they won't stop? How will it affect their relationship, and their relationships with those closest to them?

September 19^th 2012

It was that time of the year again, birthday time. Ueda and Nakamaru had been getting along as usual since the whole ‘lies and secrets’ incident, though after that day he’d come to Ueda’s house, Maru hadn’t asked about Ueda’s relationship to Taguchi again. Of course, seeing how it was actually becoming quite a big part of his life lately, Ueda couldn’t avoid talking about the other man, and while Maru didn’t outrightly object, it was clear that Maru didn’t exactly like talking about him.

In an effort to get their friendship back to where it was, Maru and Ueda had planned another trip away together. They were going to Hokkaido for three days, two nights to stay in an onsen resort that had been highly recommended. When they finally arrived Ueda flopped down onto one of the single beds.

“And you’re sure your boyfriend won’t mind us sharing a room...” Maru asked just a tad snidely.

“Not my boyfriend” Ueda replied, not even lifting his head from the pillow.

“Ueda, you’ve been sleeping with him like, exclusively, for six months.”

“It’s not exclusive...I just haven’t found anybody else I want to sleep with...” Ueda replied, rolling his eyes despite the fact that they were closed.

“And what about all the time you spend together? What’s your explanation for that?”

“That we’re friends...now shut up I want a nap.”

Maru huffed a little in annoyance but he lay down on his bed too, getting out his phone to check the news, holiday or not he still had research to do for Sunday’s Shuichi.

A short while passed and Ueda was snoring lightly, until his phone rang in his pocket. He looked at the caller ID and sighed but there was a light smile in it.

“Baka, I’m on holiday, don’t call me.” He snapped light-heartedly into the receiver, while he got up and headed to the bathroom for privacy.

“Don’t make plans for the 5^th to the 8^th of next month ok?” the younger man replied through the phone.

“Why not? Anyway, it’s my manager you should call...I might be busy.” He answered, admittedly a little intrigued.

“I already called and got your schedule changed, but don’t make personal plans”

“Baka, why did you do that? What are you planning?”

“I’m taking you away” he replied happily and Ueda knew the very smile that accompanied that tone. He smiled himself.

“Where to?”

“Secret” was Taguchi’s teasing answer. “Now go enjoy your time with Maru”

Ueda’s whine of “Juuuunno” was not heard as the younger man hung up. “Baka” he repeated to himself, but he couldn’t help smiling...some kind of secret vacation?

Maru raised an eyebrow at him as he re-entered the room.

“Taguchi” he said, as though answering Maru’s question “he says he’s got some trip away planned.”

Maru’s eyebrows rose further. “A romantic getaway.”

Ueda rolled his eyes again “Just stop it alright...he has every right to go on a break with me, just the same as you...if anyone is jealous I’d say it was you.”

“Grow up Ueda” Maru responded with a sigh and he reached for his headphones.

“Hey, aren’t we going to do something? Go out for food at least?” Ueda asked, Maru pouted but then he rubbed his stomach.

“Yeah, I’m actually really hungry now.” And so they got up and headed out.

September 20^th 2012

They had another pleasant day at the resort, they went into the surrounding town to look at the little souvenir shops, Ueda was pleased with his purchase of a keychain of a small games controller. On the morning after Taguchi had arrived back in Hokkaido, Ueda had readied himself to leave, turning to him as he was about to hand over the keys he had borrowed. Taguchi’s face had been slightly flushed as he pushed Ueda’s hand back “Why don’t you hang on to them, you know, in case I’m away again, or in case you want to come by while I’m not home sometime.” Ueda had nodded happily.

And so now Ueda was away, he’d entrusted his spare set of keys to Taguchi so that the younger man could look after his dogs. He already planned to return the gesture by asking Taguchi to keep his set of keys, but he wanted to buy some kind of cute keychain along the same lines as the ones Taguchi had given him. The keys already had a boxing glove as a chain and Ueda thought the controller would fit perfectly.

“Will I get a gift when you go away with him?” Maru asked as Ueda took out the keychain to look at it again.

“Maybe...depends where we go” he replied, tucking it away in his bag again, and rolling his eyes.

Maru didn’t mention Taguchi again until late that night when they were enjoying one of the open air hot springs. Ueda was laying his head back, staring at the stars, while Maru was excitedly looking around at their surroundings.

“What’s wrong with you Ueda...it’s like you haven’t even noticed there are two really hot, naked girls right over there.” Maru said, slightly annoyed as he glanced back over at the girls in the next bath along.

“They’re not that hot” Ueda replied “But if you want to go for it, then go talk to them yourself”. Ueda was usually the very excitable flirt when it came to girls, and he had the feeling that Maru wanted to use that side of him to have an excuse to go talk to them.

“It’s not that” Maru snapped back defensively. “Just, if it’s not exclusive then why shouldn’t you have some fun flirting with them? You said yourself you’re not gay, and they totally are hot.”

“Why does it matter so much to you?” he snapped back, finally raising his head.

Maru looked at him almost fiercely, as though he wanted to say something hurtful. But then he let out a long breath and sagged a little. “You don’t even see how much you’ve changed...how much he’s changed you. You say it’s not a relationship and you don’t love him or anything...so why is he the only thing you even seem to care about these days?!”

Ueda’s patience was wearing thin, he felt like Maru had been on his back about it the whole trip. So what if he liked being with Taguchi? “Why do you even care so much?” he snapped again.

“I just hate seeing you like this, trying to act all cool and flippant about it when you’re not. If you’re in love with him then just say it already!” Maru almost shouted back.

Ueda ground his teeth a little, stalling to find the most appropriate reaction to this, but it seemed rationality had completely left him. “Fine, let’s go talk to the girls” it was clearly not the reaction Maru was expecting. “come on, I’m going for the brown haired one, how many times do you want me to fuck her before you believe I’m not in love with him?”

Maru’s jaw fell a little “Ueda...I didn’t mean...” but Ueda had already got up and started wading to the other end of the bath, closer to the girls.

“Are you coming or not?” he shot back, just before reaching the girls and greeting them with his brightest smile.

D=!!! MARU YOU IDIOT!!! >.<

Nononononono! I forbid anything happening with Ueda and some random girl! NO! *panics* I don't care, have him trip over a rock in the onsen and bang his head on the edge or something so that Junno can come over and take care of him...but please for the love of God don't let Ueda prove he doesn't love Junno (when he actually does *cough*)

Just when I thought they'd be all sweet during their getaway later on T.T And the keychains! The keychains are sweet!

Lol I'm sorry that I sound really over the top whenever things between Ueda and a girl might happen but well..yeah you know me >.< I can't handle it x_x

So um yeah...I'll be waiting for the next chapter?? And >.< maru shoould really stop provoking Ueda like that or well...at least don't involve girls...*cough* >.< okay I better stop now lol *quietly puts brick away*

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

Lol :P You'll just have to wait and see what he'll do :D I'm really happy I got such a strong reaction to it though :D Thank you

Next chapter will be up on Saturday hopefully, so look forward to it :D

[pandanyan.livejournal.com]

T.T omg you're happy with that? lol then I'm guessing you might be happier with the fact that this'll be haunting me for the rest of the week wondering what the hell Ueda's going to do. x_x

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

Really? *blush* I'm flattered :D It makes me feel all warm inside to think of you caring about the story enough for it to haunt you :D *squishes*

[racanai.livejournal.com]

So that's what you meant with angst!

“Not my boyfriend” Ueda replied
"If you’re in love with him then just say it already!” Maru almost shouted back.
Boy, when will you admit to it? Oh, wait, they agreed on it being over once one of them has feelings for the other...

"how many times do you want me to fuck her before you believe I’m not in love with him?”
Ueda being angry is kinda scary. I hope he will come to his senses before he does anything stupid! But I guess he will only when it's too late...

Erm, please update soon? =)
And I'm looking forward to the angsty fic! ^^

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

Thank you for reading and for your comment too :D I can't wait to see what everyones reactions will be to the next chapter :P

Ueda does have a bit of a temper, and I guess that probably makes him prone to rash actions, let's just hopes he comes to his senses soon :D

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

I hate it when that happens >_< I appreciate you taking the time to write out another lovely long comment though, lol if it was me I'd probably have been to angry by that point.

I don't want to make any of them out to be bad people...but sometimes they have to do slightly bad things or there would be no obstacles in the story >_< unfortunately Maru was the one that got it pinned on him again...hopefully in the (not too) distant future, he'll be able to redeem himself!

Lol, damn that would have been a good idea, it would have been so much fun to have Kame show up and stop him (slight spoiler: that's not what happens). Aaah but our boy has a short temper which sometimes leads him to do irrational things...

Thank you for reading dear, and your comments are always much appreciated :D *hugs* Ah, the typo >_< where it says call instead of called? (or is there another one, lol) thank you for pointing it out :D I'll get it sorted, I can't stand silly little errors like that >_< please do point it out if you notice any more :D

[sugiex.livejournal.com]

I am reminded of Maru and Ueda being the lavender field boys XD

Hmm.. I gotta applaud Maru's effort for helping Ueda realise his feelings for Taguchi, but he could have done it in a more succinct manner. Taguchi would be so w< Thank you for sharing~

Oh.. and Taguchi will be so happy with the game controller keychain \o/

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

Thank you for reading and commenting :D

I feel a little bad for making Maru the bad guy again, but there did need to be some sort of push to get them thinking a little more seriously!!

[sugiex.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry if my comment didn't make sense OTL LJ seemed to have eaten up some of my words.

I mentioned that I wanted to brick Nakamaru instead if Ueda went around having casual flings and breaking Junno's heart </3

[kissmegreen.livejournal.com]

Ueda's head is in strong denial with his heart >.<
But I mean, I can't blame Maru for pushing it... it's good that Uepi becames aware or rather accepting of his own feelings~ he was so bubbly buying Junno a present and thinking about their 'secret' getaway.... Uepi, you do have boyfriend!

But really again, Maru sounds like he really resents Junno... like he still isn't accepting not so much of Ueda's 'gay relationship' but just the fact that it's with Junno - I think he's still bombed out about that... does he have feelings for Ueda? because I mean, it's not like Junno is a stranger or they hate each other from before or something, or it's not even a matter of Ueda spending all his "maru time' with Junno, since they've been doing that for months and Maru hadn't suspected anything, yet Maru resents him~

hmmm~

as for the girls, I eagerly await how that will turn out... I would be amused if Junno's face pops in his head!

update soon... ;-)

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

Heehee, it's seems likes it's getting to the point that everyone else realizes what it is...just those two stubborn men all comfortable in their denial >_<

I think there definitely is a bee in his bonnet about it being Junno that Ueda's with, sadly it's not quite as exciting as your prediction, hopefully things will get cleared up a little though (but not until part 3 I'm afraid - there's just too much other stuff to fit in in this part :P )

Next chapter should be up at the weekend :)

*huggles* thank you for your comment dear

[lisa loftsd�ttir (from livejournal.com)]

hehe thanks for the update =D

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

No problem :D Thank you for your comment, I'm happy you're still enjoying the story :D

[mamushi-takki.livejournal.com]

no way! please Ueda don't do stupid things =3=
he's so stubborn to accept that Maru is right concerning his feelings...
omg can't wait to read next chapter!
I hope Ueda stop before doing something or at least, the girls be lesbians lol

btw Junno is being so cute <3

thanks for sharing dear! *hugs*

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

Thank you for reading and commenting :D Next chapter will be up at the weekend :D

[mamushi-takki.livejournal.com]

ok dear! I'll look forward :D

[tat-fan-luv.livejournal.com]

Wah!!! UPDATE UPDATE WHOO HOO! (jumps around the room happily). I found this update by pure accident! I'm going to predict what I think or what I would do if I had been the one writing this. To try to prove his point to Nakamaru Ueda goes so far as to get in bed with the girl he picks kisses but he can't stop picturing Junno. And when 'its' about to happen he leaves with a hastely spoken sorry because he finally does realize he doe slove Junno. or he does go all the wayh with her and either Junno finds out or he tells him and Junno gets up set but Ueda claims we never agreed we couldn't sleep with other people.... (just my guess of course lol)

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the comment :D I'm really happy you enjoyed it!!

I love hearing people's theories on what they think will happen/want to happen :D It makes me feel really happy that people care enough about the story that it's worth thinking about that kind of thing :D So thank you for sharing your ideas :D

It won't change what happens since I finished writing part 2 a month or two ago but it's always awesome to see other people's takes on the story :D

Thank you for reading and commenting!
