Summary: In the fairy tales they fall in love and live happily ever after...but this isn't a fairy tale. How are two people, madly in love, supposed to stay away from each other?
December 24th 2012
He knew it had been a mistake just as soon as he’d asked him, he knew Ueda knew it was a mistake too, but neither of them had backed down and now here they were.
“You’re sure your mum won’t mind me being there?” Ueda asked him for the fourth time since they set off, they’d been driving less than an hour and there was still a little while left to go.
“Stop asking that, I wouldn’t just bring you along without asking her...”
“Yeah, but you don’t think she just said it was ok out of politeness...”
“Uepi, you’ve met my mum...when has she ever done anything just because it’s polite.” Taguchi replied laughing, and Ueda laughed too though Taguchi couldn’t be sure which of the many memories he was thinking of. And there certainly were many, his mother was every bit as KY as he was and there were countless times she said silly or embarrassing things in front of them, things they would never let him live down.
“And your brother and sister are coming over tomorrow right?” Ueda asked sounding a little nervous again.
“Yeah just for a couple of hours for dinner and stuff...and before you ask, no they won’t mind you being there...in fact I’m pretty sure my sister will be over the moon about it...”
“I’m sorry” Ueda replied sheepishly “Just...it’s Christmas you know...it’s supposed to be about family...”
“Uepi you are my family...all of KAT-TUN are, and I would have invited all of them along if they weren’t busy already...but I couldn’t bear the thought of you being alone for Christmas...”
“My family suck for going away this time of year...It’s not like I’d be completely alone though, I would have had the dogs and there would have been friends to go out with and stuff”
“Even so...”
There was silence for a short while. “Thank you though, for inviting me, it’ll be really nice spending Christmas with your family.
The rest of the journey was spent in silence, other than the voice of the sat nav calling out directions. A little over a year ago Taguchi’s mum had moved back out to Kanagawa where they’d lived for a few years when Taguchi was younger, it was a different area though and he wasn’t very familiar with it. He’d only managed to get out to visit three times in that time, not including the day he’d helped her move, which he was a little ashamed of, especially considering that those times were special occasions, Christmas, his birthday, her birthday.
And here it was, Christmas again. He was happy he’d be able to stay longer this time though, usually he’d only be round for the day, but their schedules had been unusually sparse this Christmas meaning that both he and Ueda were off for a whole three days to visit.
Ueda’s parents had decided to go away for Christmas this year, they had invited Ueda to go with them but since they wouldn’t be back before the new year that was out of the question, the new year countdown was one of the most important Johnny’s events of the year. Ueda’s sister also had plans that year, since it was the first Christmas with the new baby, she was going to stay with her husband’s family for a few days over the holidays, and Ueda would probably have felt out of place there. Taguchi couldn’t stand the idea of Ueda being on his own, the older man got lonely easily and he knew it would only be worse given the time of year...and the recent heart-break that Taguchi was responsible for, so that’s why he’d invited him along to his mum’s house for Christmas. Ueda had been reluctant to agree at first, but with a little gentle persuasion, and reassurance that no lines would be crossed, he finally agreed.
They hadn’t spoken of the events of his Birthday again, but Taguchi felt like it was something that was constantly on their mind when they were together, how easy it had been to slip back into each other’s arms, how perfect. But they knew they couldn’t do it again, it really had made things harder, had made Taguchi want Ueda more.
He pulled into the small driveway beside his mum’s house, and the door opened before they had chance to even get out of the car. He turned to Ueda with a grimace. “I apologise now for anything she says or does over the next few days.” But the car door was opened from the outside before Ueda had chance to respond. “Mum, calm down we’re coming” he directed at his mother, rolling his eyes.
“Well, hurry up and get inside, it’s freezing out here” she reprimanded as Ueda climbed out of his side, fetching both their bags from the boot. “Ueda-kun, how are you? I haven’t seen you since the concerts at the start of the year.”
Ueda nodded at her in greeting “I’m fine thank you, how are you? It was really kind of you to invite me for Christmas.”
“I’m very well, thank you, and it’s really no bother, the more the merrier” and she took the bags from his hands, passing them both to Taguchi who had just managed to scramble out of the car. “Jun, take your things up to the guest room.” And then she turned leading Ueda into the house.
Taguchi did as she asked, dropping both bags in the guest room, and then he went to the bathroom to freshen up before heading back down the narrow staircase. His mum had already served tea and cake in the sitting room and was now interrogating his band mate.
“...and how about you Ueda-kun, is there any special lady in your life right now?” he heard her say.
“Mum...really...do we need to do this right now?” he cut in, glaring a little.
But she just chuckled “Don’t worry Jun, I aren’t saying anything embarrassing about you yet.”
“Mum” he whined but Ueda was laughing too, and he couldn’t help but smile. Honestly he’d thought it might be a little awkward, just him, Ueda and his mother...just him, the man he’d been fucking and the woman he was really bad at lying to, who had no reason to even suspect he was interested in men.
“Oh just you wait until later...I’ve picked out some lovely old episodes of Shounen Club for us all to watch, Ueda-kun, I didn’t want you feeling left out so there’s plenty of old footage of you in them too”. Now it was Taguchi’s turn to laugh as Ueda’s face dropped into a pout.
There was a sudden beeping from the kitchen area and Taguchi’s mum stood up immediately. “That’s just the meat for tea, needs turning. Why don’t you boys go and get settled and I’ll give a call when lunch is ready. Jun you could find out some spare blankets for yourself if you want, I could only find the double futon so Ueda-kun can sleep in the guest room, you don’t mind taking the couch right?”
He waited for a moment while Ueda finished his cup of tea and then they both stood. “It’s not very big, but I’ll give you the tour anyway.” And he turned to lead Ueda through the different rooms, ending with the guest room. “So here’s your room, mum already got out the futon and blankets and stuff, just unroll them when you come up.”
“I don’t mind...” Ueda started nervously “I mean...you wouldn’t even fit on the sofa right? It’s not like we’ve never shared a bed before...” his cheeks flushed suddenly “not just like that...I mean when we were juniors right...we used to all share beds and stuff...to sleep...”
He couldn’t help a small smile at Ueda’s shyness “Are you sure...wouldn’t it be weird considering...”
Ueda shook his head “As long as we...you know...don’t...”
Taguchi nodded “Of course. Thank you...” There was a slight tension in the air between them, but it was interrupted just a few moments later when Taguchi’s mum called them down for lunch.
---------------------------------------------------
Kind of a boring, filler chapter but it was important to get the story moving so there we have it >_< a fun filled Christmas vacation together at Taguchi's mum's...and sharing a bed too - what could possibly go wrong >_<

Date: 2012-07-25 08:56 pm (UTC)And it does seem like a pretty stupid idea to go sharing beds...though Taguchi's mum will be around so maybe that might deter them...maybe >_<
I'm glad you liked it :) Thank you for commenting :D

Date: 2012-07-24 05:29 pm (UTC)And yay~ Ueda's meeting the family!! *cough* I should be overjoyed by this fact and all the prospects of fluffy moments but knowing this fic there'll be something that'll probably upset me right?? =w= Seriously you're keeping me on the edge for the angst! D=
And woo~ they're sharing beds >w< It would be...pretty awkward if they suddenly....you know...and then Taguchi mama might hear them and....lol that could turn out very funny or very devastating but well okay i'll stop now XwX
Can't wait for the next chapter! >w< and no, this wasn't boring at all. It felt kind of nice and cozy where I still think that their a couple and yet...their not >.< But i liked it!! ^w^ Thanks for sharing!

Date: 2012-07-25 09:14 pm (UTC)The meeting the family...it certainly should be a happy moment right? If only they were still together and Taguchi was taking Uepi home to introduce him as his boyfriend...that would be super sweet and fluffy! Only...I'm just a little too sadistic for that to happen...so yes...prepare for a little of the angst :D
Really...how awkward would that be if Taguchi's mum heard something? >_< Maybe the thought of that happening might convince them to behave themselves...
I'm glad you liked it :D I thought a little break from the heartache would be nice :)
Thank you for reading!!

Date: 2012-07-25 09:16 pm (UTC)And indeed, Christmas is a time for spending with the ones you love...I don't think either of them could have properly enjoyed it if they weren't together...even if they're not 'together' in that sense!
Thank you for reading and commenting :D

Date: 2012-07-24 09:48 pm (UTC)"Junno?" Ueda asked as he bit into one of hte cookies Taguchi-san had so graciously prepared for them.
Junno was nibblingon his own cookie almost forgetting what an amazing cook his mother was. "Hmm?"
"What do you want for christmas?" Ueda asked. "IF you could have anything in the world what would it be?"
(here my mind came up with 2 options)
Junno set his half eaten cookie back on the plate and looked away. "Something I know I won't ever be able to have." With a sigh he moved from the seat and left the room leaving the older man to his own thoughts because his own were occupied enough as it was.
(or this one)
Junno finished his cookie. "What wod I want?" He cast his glance in every direction he could except towards Ueda. "You."
Ueda sighed. "That's a very cheesy answer but coming from you I'm not surprised."
Junno's goofy expression faded to reveal the smile he would only share with ueda. "It may be cheesy Tatsuya," He chanced the first name again, "But it's true."
Sorry had to show you what your chapters can cause my imagination to come up with. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Date: 2012-07-25 09:20 pm (UTC)It's really flattering that you think about this enough to imagine your own scenarios. There's lots of fics I've read where I do that but I never imagined anybody would care about my silly little story enough to do that kind of thing :D so really thank you, you made me so happy :D

Date: 2012-07-31 04:32 am (UTC)but wow... so sweet of Junno to invite him over for the holidays >.< of course... his love for him won't allow otherwise...
and awww... the idea of them sharing a bed makes me fluffy inside but you know how those two can't keep their hands off each other >.<
but I wonder if mama Taguchi will catch on to something? Mothers are such scary creatures!
but she might be able to give them some guidance.

Date: 2012-07-31 07:12 am (UTC)And of course Junno couldn't let Uepi spend Christmas alone...and Uepi couldn't let Junno sleep on the couch...ahhh but we know what those two are like >_<
