Wishful Thinking ♥ Rainbow of Love ♥

Shige thought of dragging Masuda to Tegoshi's apartment, to clean, to at least keep Tegoshi's apartment tidy, though Koyama just visited and cleaned the apartment yesterday, it's still nice to maintain the cleanliness just so it won't give the impression that the owner has been gone for weeks.


He planned not to dwell too much, just clean as fast as they can but ended up dwelling too much and with Masuda's slow pace of cleaning (probably reliving memories he and Tegoshi shared), they were inside for hours. Shige find his pace becoming slow too when his eyes caught the side table in the living room, many framed photos are there and he saw a photo of him with Tegoshi. It was a wacky picture, taken during Tegoshi's birthday. Shige approached the side table slowly and tried opening the drawers to hide the pictures because they are distracting him. But what he saw inside the drawer made his heart swells, two boxes and one of it has his name Happy Birthday, Shige! while the other one is for Masuda Happy Anniversary♡ Massu!


Shige took the boxes out, only to find letters addressed to him and Masuda underneath the boxes. He took out a letter and blushed when he opened the wrong one. It is addressed to Masuda and he carefully put it back in the envelope, took the gift that is addressed to Masuda, and made his way to Tegoshi's bedroom. "Massu.. I know I shouldn't give you this but I think you have the right to have this." Shige said and Masuda eyed the box with furrowed brows "I accidentally found it. And it is for you." he added, handing the box and the letter to Masuda's defeated figure. He watched as Masuda sit on Tegoshi's bed and before Masuda opened the letter, Shige goes back to the living room.


Massu ♡ Happy Anniversary! Though I cannot tell you that in person anymore. And though I cannot give this to you anymore... Massu, I love you. You know that I love you. But.. you doubted me. I was hurt when you doubted my feelings, Massu. You don't know how much it hurts when you stormed out in my apartment after uttering those words.. You don't know but.. I still love you, you know... I am still very much deeply in love with you. I've been waiting for you to say you're sorry and that you still want me back. I've been waiting but still, no move from you. Shige kept on pestering me that I should move too, but you are the one who is at fault! Why would I ask for forgiveness? Sorry. If I am at fault, sorry. Sorry that my actions hurt you. You should try speaking next time.. if we can still be together. Couples fight Massu.. you should know that it is normal to say the things the other unconsciously do or said because if it's not pointed out, the same mistake will happen, just like what happened to us. I admit, I thought it was fine because you didn't say anything. I didn't know you don't like me going out with them..

Massu, I bought this when we were filming abroad. I thought of giving this to you when you picked me up at the airport that time, but I told myself "it's not yet time, I should wait for our anniversary". To tell you the truth, I am itching to give this to you, but now I can only put it here.. Massu, how I wish you still love me. You don't already, right? You always glare at me, you won't even stay on one place with me, you always stormed out when you saw me entering, you avoid me. It hurts. It really hurts. It hurts that you don't love me anymore.. but till then, when I can officially move on like you have now (though I am still hoping you haven't) , I'll keep this gift here... when I can see you without feeling hurt, I'll throw this away. But for the meantime, let me believe that you are still here, that we are still together, so I am wearing the other pair of my gift.

Happy Anniversary ♡ I love you very very very much ♡


-Yuya


"...idiot.. I love you too.. I love you very very much. And I won't allow you to move on because I am going to get you back." Masuda said, or whispered as he hold the letter with his clench fist. He sniffs and opened the box. It is a ring, a silver ring that has a star and a heart engraved on the inside, beside the initials ☆TM♡ and he laughed, or cried as he wear the ring.


Shige on the other hand, was reading the letter on the sofa. He must say, what he found inside the box made him teary-eyed. It is the bracelet that he once told Tegoshi to buy for him but the brat didn't listen and he didn't buy it himself. When he thought of buying it the next time he stroll in the city, the bracelet was already gone and he regretted on not buying it when he saw it. Okay, Shige is not a crybaby but when it is something that really touched his heart, he cannot stop his tears from falling. Shige reached for the letter after he wore his new bracelet. Damn it. Stop crying.


Happy Birthday to you~ ☆
Happy Birthday to you~ ☆
Happy Birthday Happy Birthday~☆
Happy Birthday to you~ ☆

Happy Birthday, Shige!! Surprise! I bought you something! :D
See? I am such a good friend, right? XD

First thing first, I am writing you this letter because I am not yet sleepy and 15 min more before it turns twelve, before the date would change, before your age increases with one! Haha~ so for past time, I am writing you this letter. Don't worry, this is not a threat, nor a prank. I just thought, why not? So I am writing you a letter.

Shige, I am really grateful to you for everything you have done for me. You are a tsundere type, I know. So no matter how much you would say "I don't love you" or "your letter sucks, it doesn't make sense at all", I won't believe it. You might not want this but I want to list some of your 'sweetlove' yuckss. Laugh now Shige, Ha ha ha now stop. :P

Thank you for keeping my feet on the ground. You know how devastated I am with the breakup.

Thank you for letting me stick on to you, though sometimes I got annoying, you still didn't push me away. You know, surprisingly, your rants always makes me calm.. it makes me feel "ah~ shige cares"

... but I think, the reason why it calms me down is because Nino-kun is like that too.. I know you guys do clash sometimes but you have to know, it always amused me looking at you two, in my apartment bickering on my kitchen about random things.. it is so nice and heartwarming and I really like that. It feels like "what a nice family I have here"

Thank you Shige, for keeping Kei-chan grounded too (you know how hyper he is sometimes)

Thank you for not minding when Massu and I got together during your birthday party... is this not necessary? XD maa, this is just a memory now..

Thank you Shige, really, thank you. I'm so glad I met you.

May you have more years to come. Let's be friends forever! I love you my friend!



PS:

I'm glad you finished reading this.. Eh? You are reading this part, aren't you? XDD

I am actually debating whether to give this to you personally or to send this to you through some "You've got a package" .... ah, I'm going to do that! :D


/thinking that you already received this/

Sooooo, Shige! How did you end up talking to the delivery man? Hahaha! Now the bouquet is a prank.

Happy Birthday Shige! ☆

I am expecting a gift from you in return. >:)

"Of course... since when did I fail on giving you a gift on your birthday?" Shige said fondly with his voice hoarse. It was at that moment when his phone rang. It's his manager, asking him to go back to the jimusho with Masuda right now . "Massu, we need to go to the jimusho now" Shige shouted as he rubbed his eyes to erase the fact that he is crying. A sudden movement and Shige flinched. Shige looked over at Tegoshi's side table where photos of him, them, is displayed. He picked a frame on the floor and what he saw made his insides coil. Oh damn this beliefs. "Massu! We need to go, now!" Shige said, rushing toward Tegoshi's bedroom. Nino and Tegoshi's photo, with smiles plastered on their faces as they eat ice creams in cones, was lying lifelessly inside Shige's bag.




----

It seems like they have walked for hours when in fact they only walked for 3mins. Shige can see that he is not the only one who is nervous about what's coming. It's been a shock that their senpais are waiting for them with an aura that clearly says Danger. And for once, Shige thought how nice it is to be part of Johnny's, their backups are so powerful. Nagase stopped walking and all of them tensed. They entered a room, a rehearsal room, and all they could see is a circle formed by the missing members of the groups that waited for them in the entrance. They didn't notice their entrance so they keep on doing what they were doing before they entered -- shouting.


"WHERE THE HELL IS TEGONYAN AND NINO-KUN?!"


They all flinched when Nishikido, clearly it's Ryo's voice, shouted angrily. The newcomers looked at each other and was about to walk forward when Taichi hold them up to wait for a while. Let Ryo-kun say what he wanted to say. This is the first time he talked since we took them here. And they all nodded in silence.


"FUCK! I'M FED UP WITH YOUR LIES. I'VE BEEN LISTENING AND ALL YOU WERE SAYING ARE ALL LIES. TALK NOW OR--"
the circle was broken, there are people (looks like the rest of Kanjani) who took Ryo away from the culprits "YASU, SUBARU LET ME GO


"You know that the only thing you can do now is to tell us the truth" a voice said and the commotion between Ryo was stopped. It was Jun, who is shaking with anger as he looked at the people in the middle of the circle they formed earlier. Shige, Aiba and Ohno have their fist clenched and jaws locked, tightened as they intently stare at the people behind the kidnapping. And if looks could kill, they are now killed by how Masuda's face turned evil when he saw the people who took their loved ones away from them.


"I can't believe it" Aiba said confused though at the same time angrily


"It was you all along" Masuda dangerously said, eyes flaring up with anger, as he stares at the person they all very well know .

A/N: UPDATED! Weee~ ☆ updated now because I already posted the oneshot (ohmiya oneshot) that i've been writing since Christmas. XDD I'm so glad I finished that one. /sigh/

Okay~ :DD Now now, I guess I need to finish this first before updating Come Back to Me... who knows? maybe I won't do that. :D maybe tomorrow you'll see an update of that one. xD

Thanks for reading!

Nino watched as Tegoshi talked to the adults using hand gestures. He can't do anything to help Tegoshi because he just woke up and he is still in a daze. He looked around and watched the children playing. They are aiming for a can on the center. They just throw their slippers when Nino's eyes caught someone who is alone, sitting on the dusty road, looking blankly at him. He smiles, and Nino went to sit beside him. They didn't talk. They just sat there. It's not awkward though. And talking is not applicable this time because they can't understand each other. Out of the blue, Nino blurted out something that made the little boy look at him quizzically.

"Ah, no, nothing" Nino said, grinning at the little boy, waving his hand, shaking his head.

"I am Sadoni" the little boy said, pointing a finger at his chest. He tilted his head to the right and point a finger at Nino "not Satoshi"

Nino, who couldn't understand what the boy means can only nod his head, "Sadoni" when the boy smiled and nod his head, Nino repeated the word, understanding what he just said is the boy's name. "Nino" he said, pointing a finger at himself. The boy suddenly giggles and it made him smile.

"Nino?" the little boy repeated cutely. He then pointed a finger to the children who were playing. "Nina" he said.

"EH?"

"Nina! Nina!" a girl from the group of children ran towards them, grinning wide. Sadoni pointed at Nino as he giggled again "Nina, Nino! Nina, he is Nino!" the little girl looked at Nino and smiles. Nino couldn't help but smile too. Children's smiles are contagious. Sadoni and Nina suddenly pull Nino up and they headed to the other children. Sadoni taking the lead as he said Nino over and over again to introduce the man to the other children.

The children pull both of his hands as they point frantically to the can on the center, saying he should play with them too. Nino couldn't argue so he nod his head and accepted the slipper that Nina gave to him. He watched as the children aimed for the can but to no avail, they couldn't knock it down. Nino throws his slipper and it hit the can. Then the children are suddenly running, picking up their slippers hastily while Nino stared blankly at them, confused on what he should do next. When he decided to get his slipper too, Sadoni shouted something, pulling his hand, shaking his head. Sadoni pointed a finger to the person who is near the can and somehow Nino already knows how the game works.

"Ahh so that's how it is.." he said and ruffled Sadoni's hair.

Tegoshi watched Nino in the corner, obviously amused with all the laughter that were coming from Nino and the children. They are not playing with the can and slippers anymore. They are playing another game, a game where the first in the line must catch the person in the end of the line. He doesn't want to interrupt his senpai but he needs to tell him about what he thinks he understand when he was talking to the men of the village (he is sure all of the adult men were present earlier. and he is quite sure that the cause of his headache was the sound of the men talking in chorus with a language that he doesn't understand at all.) He sighed inwardly, waving his hand when Nino took a glance at him. He watched as Nino ruffled the children's hair before he took some small steps towards him.

"Feeling better?"

Nino hummed "I guess so.. so, did you manage to at least understand some of their words?"

"Well, some.. but not the words that we needed." He scrunched up his nose and then sigh "food, water, toilet, hungry, bath, sleep...  so far those words are the only one that they managed to understand with all the gestures that I made." Tegoshi added, massaging his temple as he said so.

"Headache?" with a soft laugh, Nino asked

"Yeah. I was bombarded with their strong and big exciting voices. It is as if we were playing a guessing game"

Nino laughed more as he shook his head. "You did great. If that were me, I guess I won't only have a headache, worst scenario my head would open up and would start bleeding again." he grimaced at his own imagination.

"I wonder what time is it there? what are they doing right now? are they panicking right now? are they looking for us? or --"

"they are not looking and not worrying after all?" Nino added, looking directly at Tegoshi's eyes. He can only see fear in those eyes as he said those words. He had seen that look many times before, when Tegoshi was bullied back in elementary years, when Tegoshi took an entrance exam and feared that he won't pass and won't be able to study with Nino in the same university. He has to admit, it has been so long since he last saw the other side of Tegoshi. Sure, they both hang out together when they have the same day-off, they both live the brat image of their groups, and they both share their views toward each members of their groups. He had seen the idol Tegoshi that he forgot the junior that he adored and cared for. Sighing, he ruffled Tegoshi's hair and give him  a smile. "Don't worry, Tego. We have our mothers. For sure, both Kei-chan and Sho-chan are looking for us and I know they are both worried to death. And there is Aiba-chan, who surely will be flying all over Japan just to look for us." he added, furrowing his brows because Aiba-chan will surely do that.

"Senpai..."

"Just stop with that look, okay?" he pointed at Tegoshi's face "we are not home so I can't promise to treat you."

With that said, Tegoshi giggled softly. "I'm not that kid who cries for nii-chan anymore." he smiled fondly at Nino, then he added "but I am not saying no for the treat." he grins before looking up at the sky. Dark clouds started to cover the sun, "it's going to rain anytime soon."

----

"Satoshi-kun, what are you thinking?" Sho asked worriedly as he sat beside the unfocused older man. They are on standby for their live performance in Music Station. They were asked earlier where Nino was and why he is not around. And they answered them with a lie. Of course, they can't just tell them Nino's missing. On top of that, two Johnny's are missing. He felt bad on just sitting there and waiting for their turn when Nino and Tegoshi are not safe out there.

Ohno felt a hand on his shoulder and he quickly turned around to see Sakurai beside him. He sadly smile at him, not wanting to talk about anything for now.

Sho just sighed at his reaction. He knows the older man just thought it was Nino who put a hand on his shoulder. Sho glanced at Jun and Aiba. They too are unfocused and Aiba seems to be on the verge of bolting out, on running away from the studio.

After the filiming ended, Arashi hurried to the green room. They want news, news that will bring them hope but when their manager tried to recite some of their activities for the day, someone snapped.

"Can't we just postpone the interview and photoshoot when Nino is back, safe and sound?!" Jun shouted angrily. He just had enough. He understand that they have to promote their new single. But none of them can focus clearly as of the moment. Aiba shuffled some moves, Sho forgot some lines, Ohno acted like a robot, and he himself, he knows he was glaring at the camera instead of smiling at it. "Or at least when ... it's been five days.. where the hell are you, Nino?" his voice was muffled because he covered his face with his fingers but they are still audible enough to everyone in the room.


-----

Shige grumbled. One more word from his manager, he is sure he will lose it. He saw Koyama with Sakurai a while ago, they talked to him about their plan for the day. As much as he wanted to help looking for the two missing idols, his manager won't let him go yet. It has been two hours and he already completed 2 interviews and 1 photoshoot. He can feel his patience slowly ebbing when his manager brought him to the lounge and told him about his two more interviews in the afternoon. He massaged his temple, clearly telling his manager he is not feeling well and not in the mood to work right now. Tegoshi. Even if he did manage to focus his mind on the work he just did earlier, his mind will always wander back to Tegoshi and Nino. He might not that close with Nino but he is close with Tegoshi and it is Tegoshi and Nino that are missing. Who would not panic when this two bright idols suddenly went missing? Shige sighed and he heard another sigh just after his own sigh. Shige opened his eyes, in front of him his manager is smiling sadly at him.

"It can't be helped, ne. i'll talk to them and change your schedules. I just had a talk with Masuda-kun's, Koyama-kun's and Tegoshi-kun's manager... we wanted to help so we are planning on sweeping all your schedules 'till the next two weeks. I just hope they can find them safe and sound.. after that time, all of you should face your work, with or without Tegoshi-kun. I'm guessing Arashi's managers are helping too. And it's harder for them." He added when they saw Ohno's and Ninomiya's manager passed by hurriedly while talking to the phone.

"They are in the middle of promoting their new single..." Shige stopped talking when he saw the other Arashi members passing by. Ohno seems to be lifeless, Aiba is in so much pain as he tried to hold his tears from falling, and Matsumoto is doing his best, patting Aiba on the head. He glanced to the side and saw Shige, bowing a little, he managed to press a small smile on his lips before walking away, still patting Aiba on the head. "Please tell me this is just a dream, a prank, or.. just.. please" Shige softly said, rubbing his hands on his face as he opened his phone and read the messages he received from Tegoshi a day before his day-off.

Shige! Are you sure you won't come tomorrow? I promise, I won't let you clean my apartment! It's just a small celebration, you know. You better come, Shige! I will let you cook Carbonara! Please? Won't you miss me if you won't come? Massu is busy, Kei-chan too, so there's only you! And Nino will be coming too! He'll be late but he will come! You really should come, Shige!

No matter what you say, I won't go. No, Tegoshi. That is my answer.

Shige hates me? :( First Massu, now Shige? (;_;)

I don't hate you, okay? And the both of you haven't talked it out yet? Oh, come on! We all have been together at meetings for a week and you both didn't try?

Massu is avoiding me! And it hurts. :( That's why I've been sticking to you

And that is why you want me to come tomorrow on your supposedly anniversary?!

But it is also Shige's birthday! At least, I have something to celebrate on. or else my mind would wander back to Massu and it'll make me cry again (;_;)

Sorry Tegoshi. I know you are just going to watch a soccer match tomorrow.

Ahahahahahaha~ >.<


I'm on the lift. I'm going to celebrate your birthday.. all by myself.

Really? My birthday? Aren't you going to celebrate your broken heart?

You are so mean! (;_;)

Come here, at my apartment. We are celebrating. Koyama and Massu just arrived.

It's okay. I'll just spoil your birthday if I came.

You are being a drama queen. Come on!

Tegoshi?

Okay! Okay! I won't force you. But could you at least answer your phone?

Tegoshi?

You win. Okay, I won't bother you with Massu anymore.

You just spoil my birthday, drama queen. >_<


Shige closed his phone after reading his conversation with Tegoshi again and again. Massaging the bridge of his nose, Shige opened the door of their dressing room. He was just thinking about Massu and how he is coping up when he saw a very distraught Massu sitting on the sofa. Masuda looked up "Shige..." he called, lips trembling.

Walking towards Massu, Shige said softly, "He is fine. Okay? He is fine.." He saw Masuda's body shiver then he heard a sob. Shige instantly moved, patting his shoulder as he listened to his friend muttering 'what ifs'
