I cried "corn beef" in a demonic voice in front of people I'd just met. If that tells you anything about me...
Other than that, the name is Nabilah Johari who goes by her days embarrassing friends with her shameless antics.
I bring more fluff! HUAHUAHUAAA!!


I had this floating around in my other laptop, and and I just love myself for making something sooo sickeningly sweet! >___<>

I think I drafted this around April then finished it off around... last month or a few days ago? Hmm I don't remember using my old laptop but oh well who cares.

Be aware that this is very too sweet of a fluff. So Zati, since I know that you reeallyyy dislike FLUFF I've spared you the pain of it by giving you a warning.

Reason why I'm posting stuffs here is because I wanted to deleted some things off the old laptop.

So, be warned. This is fluff. So run away if you hate it, specifically you, Zati.

It was their first time to backdance to a Kinki Kids' song under a new unit. It was a grand day for everyone; the crew were rushing here and there, trying their best to prepare for such a great event. They cannot afford to fail.

Keiichiro Koyama stood amidst the commotion, later walking to and fro.

Occasionally, he danced out. He scratched his head upon forgetting a part. He was too absorbed of recalling that he bumped on someone. Water spilled, but luckily not on the person's shirt.

"G-g-gomen"

"Iie. Daijoubu."

"Shigeaki." Kei called the other's name.

"Yo." Shige nodded shortly then assessed the other's state."Hey, you're trembling."

"I-I-I know." Keiichiro hid his hands. He didn't want others to notice his frailty.

"It's okay. Everyone is tensed." The calm guy reassured and gave away a beam. Keiichiro was relieved, then reached out to him.

"Anou... this is a weird request but," Kei was blushing, but gulped and proceeded, "Can you please hold my hands for a while? Just to stop the shaking?"

Shigeaki, being obedient and helpful in his discreet ways, held Keiichiro's hand. The tremors subsided, and Kei was surprised of the faster relief. They walked to the centerstage upon seeing the Domoto singers stand on their marks, still with hands intertwined.

"Arigatou." Kei winked at him as Hironori stood beside him in preparation for their dance number.

Shige simply nodded and focused ahead, though he can still see his co-member through his peripheral vision. Kei wiped his hands at the back of his pants.


The announcer called their group name. KKKitty.

~`~`

Everyone noticed the confidence that Kei developed in himself as months - even years - passed. He became more outgoing, believing he shall try his best in everything he does. Even when he debuted as a NEWS member, he didn't forget the people who became a part of him, the juniors. He even volunteered to train the newbies. His mobile had numbers of literally EVERYONE in the jimusho, even the staff. He became very expressive of his love to others, particularly his other Johnny's Entertainment idols, but most especially to somehow who inspired him to be an improved man.

With each endeavor, Keiichiro had Shigeaki's hand on his all the way, giving him strength.

~`~`

"Shige! Shige!"

Kei shook the sleeping person so violently that the younger boy fell off his bed.

"UGH! KEI WHAT IS WRONG THIS TIME?!" Shige held his throbbing head. He really hates to be awakened in a middle of a good sleep.

"I had a bad dream." Kei pouted and when Shige looked closer, it was evident that Kei was scared.

"Hah?!" Shige's hearing was affected by his grogginess.

"I was being chased... by tomatoes."

Upon this line, the younger bolted to consciousness and rationality. Honestly, how can a dream involving tomatoes be so scary?! Shige was really pissed at Kei's immaturity and at that moment he had this impulse to throw him off the hotel window. Imagine waking him up because of some dumb, pointless dream!

Silence. Kei felt Shige's annoyance, still he tried... who knows?

"Ne, can I sleep here?"

"Like I have a choice?!" Shige grumbled as he moved to his left to give Kei space. Kei thanked him repeatedly and tucked himself under the covers. This time, Shige cannot sleep due to the disturbance. Instead, he watched as the older guy slept, still holding his hand. He is like a child. He smiled.

They slept with hands clasped together.

~`~`

Kei was about to take the last test that will determine his fate; whether he will graduate or repeat another semester. Shige was standing beside him as he walked over the bulletin board which indicated the rooms where each student will take the exam.

"You've eaten a full breakfast?"

"Hai."

"You slept for eight hours?"

"Hai."

"Listened to your record of notes this morning?"

"Hai."

"Remember my advice. Go with your first instincts, Kei. Intuition can't go wrong."

"Hai... d-demo..." Kei looked up and tried to remember something.

"I don't exactly remember the eight fundamental laws of supply and..."

Shige gripped Koyama's hand and looked straight in his eyes. "Ganbatte. I know you can do it." Moments of staring ensued then Koyama inhaled deeply.

"Because you said so, I can."

"Hai." Shige smiled.

"Jaa." Kei waved and walked to room 439"

~`~`

Minutes before their Chirarizumu performance in their Osaka concert, Koyama was, as always, nervous. It's his habit to hide in the washroom, wash his face and try his best to stop his hands from trembling by himself. But Shige beat him to the washroom, let him in and made him face him instead the mirror.

"I'm nervous."

"You always are. Since our debut." Shige smiled, then corrected, "No, wait. Since KKKitty started. J-friends even." Koyama pouted.

"You're making fun of me." He said sadly.

"Of course I'm not." Shige held his hand, the tenderness increasing in each time he does it. "For if I did, I would've given up on you WAY before."

The romantic air was steadily increasing. The two best friends lavished their solo time so well, until...

"Aww. I wish Massu will hold my hand oh-so firmly like that." Yuya opened the door so wide and taunted them. Kei made a face upon seeing that Pi and the others were also looking at them.

Shige shouted, "Stop barging in other peoples' lives, Tego!" to which the baby of the group ran away, hiding behind Massu.

This is the initial reason why Shige is pissed off with Yuya.

~`~`

It was raining very hard when they went home. They forgot the fact that there was a signal-two typhoon hitting Tokyo that day and went on with their shopping after Shige's review class for his law exam. They didn't bring any raingear so they ran as fast as they could under Shige's coat. The lightnings struck sharp against the rooftops and after each, there were loud thunders.

Kei was shouting everytime the thunder roared and Shige cringed as his friend did so.

"Goodness Kei, your screams are louder than the thunder! YAMERO!" Shige scolded in his ossan-style but Kei didn't heed him.

He continued screaming. Knowing what to do, Shige just clinged on the older's hand and remarked, "Kei, we're BOTH scared you know that. Can you at least be brave for me?!"

With that, Kei ran faster, with Shige's hand as a reminder that somehow - despite acting so cool - Shige also has fears which he shall try to wipe away in payment to the many favors he had given him.

~`~`

"Ne, do you think I'll do great in this episode?"

Kei looked away from the dresser mirror to face his friend who's lounging at a burgundy couch behind him.

"You always do great, Kei." Shige replied squarely as he stood in front of the mirror and fixed his red necktie and his purple and black striped pants. He tried his hat on, but later decided he won't wear it during his dance numbers that night.

"Do you really think I won't mess up with my lines?"

Kei acts like a child, and even he gave a positive answer, he cannot be satisfied... unless he does it with actions. Shige held both of his hands.

As expected, they were sweaty and trembling.

Shige instantly wondered if his text messages to Kei were actually enough to calm him down everytime he asks if he can host Shounen Club well, but he didn't mind that. What's important is the present.

They're here once again, trapped in their own force field, repelling any outside force... as if they're the only beings existing. Shige felt Kei's eyes on him, and he slowly looked up to confirm. In turn, Kei had this impulse to kiss his friend's forehead then and there. Their hearts seemed to skip a beat in such a situation. Suddenly...

"Two minutes before airtime!" The producer barged in without knocking and practically shouted at them. Realizing the intimacy, Shige let go and smiled bashfully.

"Ikimasu." he declared.

~`~`

They were walking at the sidewalks of at downtown Shibuya, planning their next activity for this day which is exclusively their own.

"Let's try another round of darts this time, Shige. Later, bowling!" He chuckled, "I swear I'll take you down this time."

As they strolled side by side, Shige held on Kei's hand and leaned on his shoulder."Eh? For what is that?" Kei wondered. "I'm not scared or something, Shige."

"Nothing. I just want to." With Shige smiling like that, Kei did not resist. They proceeded walking, feeling amused that their hands - and lives - intertwined so snugly and well.

- THE END -
I just LOVE myself! If only it wouldn't look weird if I'd hug myself! HAAA. There are some mistakes here and there, gramatical and vocabulary wise. But hell, who gives a fuckin' damn when I bring you this fluff!
