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?

21st June 2013

“What happened?” Kame asked as he opened the door.

“I need help” was all he could say in response.

“I'll say” Kame replied, pulling him in for a quick hug “Let me look at your hands and then you explain everything ok?”

Ueda just nodded and allowed Kame to lead him over to the sofa where he was pushed down and told to stay. He took the opportunity then to inspect his hands, even with the thick bandages wrapped around them, blood was seeping through. He gave a soft sigh and then Kame was back, a bowl of water and a cloth in one hand and a first aid kit in the other.

He closed his eyes, clenching his teeth together as Kame unwound the bandages and dropped them onto the floor beside the sofa, before taking Ueda's hands and placing them over the bowl. He then took the cloth and began gently wiping at the blood.

Thankfully once the blood was cleared away, his knuckles didn't look quite so bad, and after flexing them a little, it didn't feel like anything was broken, and so he sat patiently as Kame went through the motions of applying antiseptic lotion and wrapping them in fresh bandages. He then cleared everything away and made a cup of tea before settling down on the sofa and finally turning to Ueda.

“So how did this happen?”

“Brick wall...” Ueda answered vaguely and Kame sighed.

“Look, you said you wanted my help right? So you've got to let me in a little.”

Ueda took a deep breath and thought for a few moments before finally turning to Kame. “It's about Taguchi...”

Kame nodded seriously “I figured as much...”

“I've been trying to move on...I really have, but he's always there, and he's...since we broke up, we've done...stuff, and it's confusing, and it hurts, and I just want it to not hurt anymore...” he paused for a breath, looking at Kame imploringly “I want to get over him, but I don't know how...” Kame nodded thoughtfully but when he didn't answer Ueda continued “Kame...you loved Jin right? How did you get over him?”

Kame's face twisted into something of a half-smile but there was something bitter about it. “I didn't.”

Ueda's jaw dropped “But...” he started.

And then Kame's smile turn a little lighter. “I didn't need too. He changed. The person that came back from America wasn't the same one I fell in love with.” he paused to take a sip of his tea “I'm sure that if he hadn't changed, I'd still be in love with him now, and maybe part of me still is in love with the person he was...but that's not who he is now, and I don't feel anything for the person he is now.”

Ueda nodded slowly, trying to understand, and then after briefly thinking over Taguchi's recent behaviour he turned back to Kame. “I think Taguchi has changed too.”

But Kame shook his head “He hasn't...”

Ueda looked at him almost dumb-founded “How can you say that...he's been a real jerk recently...”

“He has” Kame agreed “But not because he is a jerk...I think it's just that he doesn't know how to cope with his feelings. You know Taguchi, he's always been the type to keep smiling and not let things get to him...but this...the way he feels about you...he can't ignore it, and he doesn't know what else to do. He doesn't mean to hurt you, or anyone else, he's just desperately trying to move on...”

“He has moved on...he's with...her” Ueda countered.

“You think he's with her because he's moved on? Tacchan, he's with her because he can't move on...”

Ueda stopped to think for a moment, considering Kame's words, but the memory of Taguchi's cold expression as he'd stood in his apartment between the two of them made him think differently. “An hour ago he was humping me into a wall and now he's shut up in his apartment, showering with her or something, and he couldn't even spare me a few minutes to talk...I think he's dealing with things a lot better than me...”

Kame shook his head, if he had any thoughts on their activities he didn't voice them, instead he just sighed “He's not, he's lost and confused, I tried talking to him that night in Hokkaido, but he just shut down. You're both a mess.”

Ueda pouted “Then what are we supposed to do?”

“You love him right?”

“Of course.” Ueda replied.

“How much? Do you love him more than anything else in the world?”

Ueda's face scrunched a little in confusion “Yeah...”

“Really? More than anything?”

“Yes.”

“Then you should be with him.”

Ueda's jaw dropped again “What?”

“You heard me...things clearly aren't working with the two of you trying to stay away from each other, so why bother? Why don't you just get back together and just be happy?”

He didn't know what to say, a million feelings were running through him, happiness, relief, excitement...confusion, fear. “But what about the group?”

Kame's face lifted up in a smirk “I'm only going to say this once, so listen closely...screw the group.”

“But...but” Ueda stammered “What about the fans, and our careers?”

“Well firstly, sure the fans will be a little disappointed but if they're really our fans then they won't turn on us just because the group isn't around any more...and secondly, I think we have enough of a name for ourselves now that even without the group we'll be able to find work. Also you're forgetting that this stuff is only a concern if you guys get found out...and if that's the case, you and Taguchi would be the ones that would be punished for it. But if he's really more important to you than anything else in world, then that shouldn’t matter right?”

He didn't know what to say, but somehow it didn't seem as easy as Kame was making it sound. “What about Maru and Koki, what will they think?”

“I'm sure they wouldn't begrudge either of you the happiness you deserve...Tacchan, the group is really important to all of us, but you guys are our friends, and that's way more important.”

“Kame...I don't know what to say...”

But Kame just smiled “You don't need to say anything to me...I can only tell you what I think...what you do about it is up to you...”

Ueda pondered it for a moment. “I don't know...things with Taguchi are a little tense right now...I don't know if he'd even want to get back with me...”

“I can't answer that for you, only the two of you can figure out if that's what you want...if it's worth it to you.”

“I'll think about it...thank you though Kame, you really did help me...”

“Good” Kame smiled, “Now go home, I have work this evening.”

With the thought in mind, Ueda left, returning to his apartment alone to consider whether he and Taguchi really could make another go of things, and whether Taguchi would agree.

But what is this?! an early update *_______________*


brb!

Re: SPOT!

[kissmegreen.livejournal.com]

Awwww that's my Kame for you ^^
the obvious answer has been before them all along~

Though, I'm surprised Kame said this: ...screw the group. - but this only mean that he really sees the love between them and/or as well as him telling Tatsuya this, could be him still looking out for the group ^^

I'm still pissed at Junno. Makes you wonder how he'll react to future problems. But I suppose if he too loves Tatsuya more than anything then things should fall into place.

Do you love him more than anything else in the world?”

“Yeah...”

“Really? More than anything?”

“Yes.”

<3

I look forward to Tatsuya's decision and Junno's reaction as well as Maru's and Koki's.

and yeah for early update ^^ *glomps*

Yup it was an early update this time since I had an early, busy day with work and I thought you guys would prefer and early update rather than a late one :) Saturday will also be pretty hectic so the next update will probably be on friday :)

The solution has been right there in front of them for a long time right? But you know how I like to drag things out >_<

And don't be worries about Kame's attitude, he didn't mean that the group is not important, just that his friends are more important. And of course he didn't miss the obvious...the group is suffering more for them being apart than it ever did when they were together >_<

I'm still working on a way to try and redeem Junno >_< I have the next chapter and a half written at least...hmmm, but I wonder what people will think of him then :S

Thank you for sticking with me through it :) and of course for your lovely comment!!

[racanai.livejournal.com]

The perfect bed time story, yay! \^-^/

I always suspected Kame to be a supernatural being, but I would've guessed vampire, not the angel he obviously is! =D

Now I'm really looking forward to the upcoming storm (that I hope for, mean as I am)! Please make your next update early as well? XD

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

Hehe Kame to the rescue :D It's a good job someone in the group has a level head on their shoulders :D

Trust you to want more angst :P (sshhh, don't tell anyone, theres still kind of one more hurdle...but I will be wrapping things up over the next few chapters)

Since you asked nicely, I'll see what I can do about the next update being early too :P

Thank you for reading and commenting *__*

[racanai.livejournal.com]

Makes me wonder what Maru and Koki think, what they would've told Tacchan in Kame's place.

That hurdle being... Junno's gf? Or maybe Junno himself? I wouldn't be surprised at that! XD

Yay! \^-^/

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

The drama continues =)
thanks for the update

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

Indeed it does :P

Thank you for reading :D

[sugiex.livejournal.com]

Aww, Kame is just so sweet, sensitive and helpful ♥

It's just a personal opinion but I'll kick Taguchi if Ueda has to be the one to approach him and make the preposition of getting back together (lol). I wonder if Kame will have another talk with Taguchi and instigate the other man to initiate a conversation first.

On second thoughts, Taguchi's and Ueda's previous 'chat' ended... spectacularly. I wonder how either of them is going to start speaking to one another first.

Not an Akame shipper but...

The person that came back from America wasn't the same one I fell in love with.

T___T this!

Thank you for the early update! But I sense JunDa getting back together /flaily arms #rejoice

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked Kame in this chapter, he's been pretty tough on them in the past, but it's only because he cares :)

Hehe, I wonder how you will react to how their, kind of, little chat will actually pan out >_< I'm quite excited about it :D

Ahhh, the little Akame side-thing. I'm glad you liked the feelings behind it - I'm not an Akame shipper at all, but it kind of seemed to fit (and I genuinely do think he started changing after going to LA)

Thank you for reading :D Next update will hopefully be a little early too :) (stupid RL being hectic on posting days >_< )

[pandanyan.livejournal.com]

SPOT! I have to run to class now though so I'll comment later~ *w*

[pandanyan.livejournal.com]

Back~!! Whee finally something not-so depressing >w< Again Kame is just awesome! I knew he'd come through and save the day...well almost. Right now it's up to Ueda and if Junno will take him back right? But then I'm a little worried...knowing how much a jerk Junno's been and that girl in the picture >_< What Kame said makes sense but again i get the feeling Junno will just prove to be more stupid x_x I hope you let him redeem himself!! D=



Also my fav Kame line---> “I'm only going to say this once, so listen closely...screw the group.” Lol that was so badass! XDXD And I love how lost Ueda sounds in this chapter >w<

Oh I can't wait for the weekend. I really wonder what direction you'll take it from here *w*

Thanks for the update~~! ^^ (Whew it feels so nice to not have an over emotional comment once in a while...for me at least xD)

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it made you happy for once :P

But you're right, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink...what happens now is really between Junno and Ueda...could I possibly have just a little more angst up my sleeve? >_<

There's only a few more chapters left to go though...so I'll have to starting rounding things up soon :D

Next update will probably be on Friday since Saturday will be pretty hectic for me in RL. Thank you for reading :D I'll be eagerly anticipating how you'll react to the next one :D

[nikkimattei.livejournal.com]

AHHH!! What is this!? And Kame is cheering them on! YEAH!! A possible turning point!!

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

Hehe, things are certainly starting to turn :D But we're not quite there yet >_<

Thank you for sticking with this fic :) and for your comments too!!

[nikkimattei.livejournal.com]

You are welcome! I been enjoying it too much! I have to re-read from start to finish when this is all done!

[riseyuuko.livejournal.com]

Kame is so sweet he really helped Uepi with his advice :) I always have the feeling that he will be the one who will help in their relationship

Now I'm pretty scared on the talk that Uepi and Junno will have after their fight.

Thank you for sharing ^^

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

I guess since Kame is the one that understands them the most it's only natural he'll try and help them, for all the fuss he kicked up when they got together, he was only trying to protect them from exactly what happened :(

But hopefully things will get sorted out between them soon :) and they can be happy (finally)

Thank you for reading and commenting :D

[tat-fan-luv.livejournal.com]

I ended up reading this while at work on my phone but only now can I leave my comment. I had a feeling that Kame was going to end up being the one to basically take back what he had said and claim he thinks those two should be together. I'm still not sure what to expect next chapter. I've been trying to figure out the rest of 'Please make me believe pt 2' lol

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

It's only right that Kame should be the one to help them out since he was the one so against it in the first place :P But, really it's only because he understands them and didn't want them to be hurt, nor to see them suffer now!

Hehe, I hope the next chapter will be a surprise for you then :D

Aww, you still have writers block? :( I hope you manage to get your inspiration back soon!

Thank you for reading and commenting :)
