Summary: All they wanted was each other, just to be together the way they once were. But now that they have it, is that still enough?
4th August 2013
Taguchi was insufferable. He was loud, annoying, obnoxious and almost suffocating. But the weeks Ueda had spent with him since getting back together were the best of his life.
Things were still a little complicated, even though six weeks had passed Taguchi was still trying to make up for his previous behaviour, and as a result was still avoiding getting too physical with him.
He was certainly making up in other areas though, Taguchi insisted on coming over to his apartment at least six days a week to help out with cleaning and cooking, and in general spoiling Ueda.
That night was no different. Even though Taguchi had his first day of filming for a new drama he had a role in the next day, he still insisted on coming over to take care of Ueda.
“Junno” Ueda whined as the younger man set two plates of spaghetti down on the table. “We could have ordered take out, you've got a big day tomorrow.”
“Don't be silly” Taguchi chuckled. “It was no trouble, and I don't have filming until the afternoon, I already know all of my lines...”
“That's not the point though...” Ueda whined, he felt like he had nothing to give back “Tomorrow, it's my turn to spoil you, OK?”
“I can't wait” Taguchi smirked “I expect you to cook something for me, from scratch” and Ueda retaliated by throwing his napkin at him.
He gave out a sigh and dug into the food, Taguchi's cooking was certainly getting better. “Are you staying tonight?” he asked after a small silence.
“I don't think I should” Taguchi replied sadly “I've already stayed over twice this week...if anyone noticed...”
“Who's going to notice?”Ueda insisted stubbornly.
“Baby, we can't take any risks, you know that...” Taguchi answered softly.
It sucked, the whole situation sucked. Well, the part about being allowed to date Taguchi didn't suck, but the part where they had to tiptoe around behind everyone's backs sucked. It was part of the deal though, and he understood why is was important, but just because he understood it, it didn't mean he had to like it. “Don't call me that.” Ueda pouted, wanting to complain about something at least.
Taguchi just smiled, he knew Ueda too well, knew he liked it really, and that thought had Ueda smiling shyly as well. “You're blushing” Taguchi teased, and Ueda stole Taguchi's napkin to throw at him too.
After eating they took the dogs along to the park for a little walk and then headed back to Ueda's apartment to curl up on the sofa.
Ueda made tea while Taguchi hunted for a movie to watch, and then he dragged a thin blanket over to the sofa to cover them with as they stripped down to their underwear in the blistering August heat.
It was far too hot, but Ueda cuddled closer to Taguchi anyway, ignoring the movie and closing his eyes to concentrate on the steady rise and fall of Taguchi's chest below his cheek, listening to the steady thump of his heart, feeling the heat of Taguchi's body that he'd been without for so many months.
When he let out a soft sigh, Taguchi pulled back, looking down at him curiously, but Ueda just smiled softly. “I love you” he said quietly, and Taguchi's face lifted into a small smile.
“I love you too” he answered back, leaning down to place the most tender and chaste of kisses against his lips.
When Taguchi turned back to the TV, Ueda lay his head back down, content to listen to Taguchi's heart as the movie played on in the background.
He never meant to fall asleep, but before he knew it, he was waking up, his head against a cushion on his sofa, the blanket thrown over him.
He got up, rubbing the sleepiness from his eyes, and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was after midnight already, and there was no sign of Taguchi.
“Junno” he called out softly, but there was no reply save for a grumbling whine from one of the bundles of fur by his feet.
And that's when he noticed his keys on the table in front of him, not where he'd left them, but on closer inspection he noticed that the silly boxing mouse keyring had been sat up, leaning on the giraffe as though in an embrace, and the two of them were sitting upon a piece of paper.
He laughed a little to himself and then moved the keys, picking up the paper, it was note from Taguchi explaining that he had to get home, but Ueda had looked far too cute to wake up. It then wished him a good night's sleep and instructed him to let himself into Taguchi's apartment whenever he wanted the next day as Taguchi wasn't sure what time he'd be home.
With a smile he set the note back on the table, placing the keys back on top, arranging them in the same way Taguchi had, but he felt a slight pang of loneliness knowing that only their key-chain counterparts would be enjoying cuddles that night.
He sighed and got up from the sofa, herding the dogs back into the kitchen for the night, and then he shuffled along the hall to his bedroom where he flopped down onto his bed alone. He rolled onto his back and pulled his thin sheet lazily up around himself and stared at the door longingly for a few moments before finally rolling onto his side in the darkness.
He still felt a dull ache when Taguchi wasn't with him, and it was worse at night, when he felt cold despite the temperature, without arms holding him close. He let out another small sigh, and brought up his hand to fondle the ring on his finger comfortingly, at least he had that, and Taguchi's word that he loved him and him alone.
It was with those thoughts he finally drifted to sleep, looking forward to the next day when he'd be reunited with Taguchi again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I'm finally back with the next instalment of Baby Blue!! But damn this was hard to write - having only the weekends to write is turning out to be harder on me than I thought, especially now that I'm in the grasps of that ever annoying writer's block once again. For that reason I'll likely only be posting one chapter a week (and sorry, they're unlikely to be much longer than this) probably on Sundays. Sorry for the delay and thank you in advance to everyone that sticks with me through this ^__^

and those key chains~ jdalsk;gajdasjd! ❤ it's the cutest thing ever... the gesture is so JunDa...

Re: You're BACK! SPOT!
Date: 2012-11-25 07:22 pm (UTC)But thank you so much for this wonderful one :) As you know I'm always a little nervous writing fluff since it's not my usual style, but I'm glad this worked, I'm hoping to keep a nice edge of fluff to things for a good while yet :D
And yes, I wanted to show a different side, particularly of Junno since he was such a slut towards the end of the last part, but he is different now, and hopefully when things do go further with them, they can have the best of both sides :D
Thank you for reading ♥

I'm really excited to see what kind of predictions you will have for this part, I think the main hurdle will be pretty obvious but there are a few other little things I plan to throw in too :D
Thank you for reading!

Date: 2012-11-19 03:46 pm (UTC)I really love how Junno's trying his best to make up for what he did (and yes, I totally think he has a lot of making up to do still x_x) But the thought of him spoiling Ueda is just too precious >w< Also, the fact that Ueda wants to do something for him too is just too cute~ <3
AND YAY FOR SPAGHETTI!! LOL I had a feeling this would show up some time in the future chapters xD JunDa and spaghetti just click so well >w<
I liked the part with Ueda feeling aggravated that they have to keep their relationship away from the public and him feeling lonely the minute Junno isn't there, it's like now that he nearly lost the chance to be with Junno he doesn't ever want to be away from him >.< I just want to smoosh them together already TwT (not that the cuddle tiemz on the couch wasn't satisfactory or anything >w<)
I'm just so excited for the rest and how everything will go for them! *w* Though it's sad you have writers block now >< I hope you get through it D= and Sunday updates sound awesome *w* I'll have something to look forward to at the end of my week (or something to be haunted by a whole week if it's anything angsty ._.) Anyway good luck with the rest of the updates I'll be looking forward to them and supporting you always~ <3 *huggles*

Date: 2012-11-25 07:37 pm (UTC)Indeed Junno still has a LOT of making up to do, I'm a few chapters in with the writing so far and I don't think people will be disappointed :) I like Junno again at least >_<
Yes...it had to be spaghetti...JunDa and spaghetti just fit so well together in my mind now :P
I'm really happy you like the fluffy bits anyway, I don't think fluff is a strong point for me which is maybe why I'm having a little trouble writing it, but I'm certainly going to do my best with it. And I'm excited to see how you guys will take the things I have in store for them :)
Thank you for your comment :D
