Posting here because a) this is a Birthday gift to you and will wait for permission to share and b) this post inspired this fic

Hope you had a good Birthday weekend!!!

Patience is a Virtue

The food market has a little more to offer than one of the dozen conbini located in the same area. It isn't all that crowded, but there are more patrons than he expected at the late hour on a weeknight, most of whom pretty much ignore the two of them, too busy with their own missions of marking item after item off their shopping lists. A list is something Takashi believes his friend should think of bringing along as he follows after Gaku who aimlessly wanders the store, seemingly picking things up as they catch his friend's eye. Aside from a girl here and there that may do a subtle double take in their direction, no one stares or seems to think twice (or even care) about two guys shopping for groceries.

"You didn't have to come," Gaku says, throwing another impulse buy into the basket his friend is lugging around.

Takashi gives Gaku a disbelieving look. "Yes, because the begging would have stopped if I would have declined."

Gaku turns a shade of pink that isn't very becoming on the guy, before pouting. "Mou, you're so mean."

Takashi laughs and then pulls a mock attitude. "You think I'm mean? After I agreed to accompany you on your quest for food, you have the nerve…"

"Gomen, gomen, gomen!" Gaku shouts out with bows and some how his friend manages to not spill anything out of the store basket.

Takashi rolls his eyes again, smacking the top of Gaku's head, as they continue around the corner of one aisle to head down the next.

"Anyway, what else did I have to do tonight," Takashi throws out, thinking of Tuti who is working a few Prefectures away, before stopping to pull out his cell phone from his second generation Tuti collaboration bag. "Hey, hold up the basket and smile."

Gaku doesn't question at first, doing as requested and striking a goofy pose complete with a cheesy grin.

Takashi pulls a face (one only Tuti could understand and appreciate), as he holds his phone at arm's length and snaps a picture.

"What was that for?" Gaku belatedly inquires, adding a few different varieties of Cup-O-Noodle to the basket next to the growing collection of quick and cheap foods all struggling actors live on at one point or another in their careers.

Takashi doesn't readily answer the question, too busy punching characters into an accompanying text message before sending the image off with a certain sense of satisfaction.

"What did you say?" He asks, following after Gaku who is now at the end of the aisle.

"The photo, what was that for?" Gaku reiterates as they round the corner of the next aisle.

"Nothing," he replies with a sweet and trying for innocent look. "I was just proving a point."

"Eh? To who?"

He gives Gaku a look that sadly doesn't clear anything up.

"Tell me! I was in the picture after all. I deserve to know."

"I was proving a point to a certain backwards boyfriend who doesn't like doing certain things because he's afraid of commitment… even if he does deny that last part."

Gaku stares wide-eyed at him, shock written all over the guy's face, and Takashi can only begin to guess what is going through Gaku's head.

Birthday Fic! (part 2/2)

Patience is a Virtue Con't

"He doesn't like doing certain… things?" Gaku squeaks hesitantly. "But… but aren't you two…"

Takahsi smacks Gaku upside the head, harder than the last time.

"Owe!"

"Baka!" Takashi admonishes, just barely keeping himself from hitting the guy again. "I wasn't referring to those kind of things. Of course we do those kind of things. I was talking about what we are doing now."

Gaku's eyes widen again.

"B-but… w-we aren't d-doing a-anything," Gaku sputters and Takashi can't help but laugh at the reaction.

"Baka," Takashi says again with a little less venom than he used previously. "I was referring to shopping for groceries."

Gaku blinks a few times before blushing fiercely and throwing out another round of apologies.

"Gomen. Gomen. Gomen."

Again, he can't help laughing at Gaku for being easily flustered, especially coming from a guy who has no qualms about taking pictures of his little brother's ass and posting said picture to a public journal for all of Japan (if not the world) to see.

"But… you two… are committed… right? I mean, I always thought…"

"Yeah, well I know we are, and you know we are, and, well… it seems everyone knows we are except Tuti," Takashi explains. "I know he's not going anywhere, but I'm not so sure he knows, or more precisely believes, that I'm not going anywhere. He's a little slow on the uptake on that one."

Gaku still looks confused.

"So… what does that picture and grocery shopping have to do with Tuti's fear of commitment?"

Takashi sighs. "He just feels that if we are seen shopping for groceries or essentials together, that people will assume we are together."

"Um… but you are together," Gaku supplies the obvious, still looking confused.

"Yeah, but we aren't supposed to be," Takashi elaborates more. "Not that he's the reason we keep our relationship a secret, but we have to, ya know, for managements' sake and our careers' sake."

"But you two have shopped before…"

"Conbini shopping for a quick bite to each during rehearsals or on the way to a show isn't the same as going to the local market where there are families and couples doing their shopping too."

"So he's worried people might get the right idea about you two and then it wouldn't be a secret anymore?"

"Basically," Takashi admits. "It's silly really, but it's more than that too. I think he's more afraid of jinxing us, ya know? Like if he does this one thing he'll be admitting with finality that this is it, this is what he wants and it will suddenly disappear."

Gaku quietly digest what he's said before speaking again.

"So… he's worried about you two being seen shopping together for fear of being found out, but he sees no problem with you two collaborating together on items through the Gain store because that isn't going to give anyone the wrong idea?"

Takashi laughs. Perhaps Gaku is smarter than he gives the guy credit for. It doesn't make sense to Takashi either, but this is Tuti they are talking about and he is more than willing to be patient when in the end, it is completely worth it.

"What can I say," Takashi responds with a shrug, and a smile that is impossible to keep from blossoming on his face. "He's my Baka."
