[livejournal.com profile] fonulyn: I was actually in the car with my dad when we visited my grandmother and somehow, from somewhere, the thought popped up into my mind x) It all started from a single sentence, but then it kind of evolved from there. It’s my attempt at light humor, and I don’t know if I’m all that funny so please be gentle with me XD Also, I wanted to wish all the D/T people merry Christmas in form of a ficcie too ;) I hope you like it! And excuse me the typos, I slept less than four hours last night XD

And feel free to add our journal if you like the stories!

Like Usual



It was the fifth time Toshiya was invited over to spend the Christmas holidays over at Die’s parents’ place. They had been best friends for ages, so it had been kind of natural at one point for their parents to include them both on the guest list, especially since Toshiya’s parents had the tendency to travel during the holidays instead of hosting huge family get-togethers. So, naturally, Toshiya had been invited over to Die’s childhood home, every time for the past few years. This year was no exception, and he had to admit that when he was sitting in the car, almost there already, he was pretty enthusiastic to see the other man’s family again.

The drive had been long and at one point they had fallen silent, both of them lost in their own thoughts. Suddenly though, Die broke the silence, addressing the younger man. “Toshiya? Now before we’re there, there’s something I wanted to ask you.” He didn’t turn his eyes from the road before Toshiya made a sound to show he was listening, and even then he only glanced shortly at the other man before going on. “Please, try not to embarrass me in front of my parents like usual.”

That made Toshiya frown, purse his delicate lips and raise one eyebrow questioningly. Somehow he managed to look both completely disapproving and extremely adorable, the expression already making a small smile appear on Die’s lips in return. The bassist’s voice was hurt when he spoke, at least hurt in a theatrically pretended way. “Like usual? C’mon, what have I done?” He tried to appear as innocent as humanly possible, blinking at the other man from huge Bambi-eyes. Those never failed him, although in his case the huge Bambi-eyes weren’t all that huge in all honesty.

“Like usual!” Die repeated stubbornly, managing to keep the amusement away from his voice as he spoke in the best admonishing tone he could manage. They both knew that although all their talks had a certain playful edge to them, there was truth behind it too, and there was a reason that the topic had been brought up. “It happens every single year and you know it. Like three years ago, when you ‘accidentally’ outed us to my parents by kissing me right in front of them!” Die reminded helpfully.

It didn’t seem that Toshiya completely agreed with that though, giving a weird one-shouldered shrug as he tried to play it down. “I just felt like kissing you. And there was a mistletoe! You could’ve explained it with that.” There. A perfectly valid argument.

“Not when you grabbed my rear like you did and squeezed me closer. Not to mention that the kiss wasn’t exactly all that innocent either…” The guitarist spoke calmly, his eyes still on the road. If one looked closely there was a hint of a smile tugging his lips though, no matter how serious he tried to sound. C’mon, it was a pleasant memory after all, considering.

Toshiya sighed. He knew when he had lost, after all, and it didn’t make any sense to argue with that. “Okay okay. My bad. But it was only once!” He still had to try and redeem the last remains of his credibility, right? A single case couldn’t be used to judge his general behaviour. Or something like that, he was sure he had seen it in some criminal-series on TV. At least it sounded cool when a hot, tanned blonde of a lawyer said it.

“Only once?” Die laughed, shaking his head a bit, and it seemed for a while that he forgot he was actually steering a car. He turned to look at the younger man, his eyes sparkling as the bright smile finally spread right on his lips. “Gosh, the year after that you downed a bottle of liquor before kneeling down in front of my father to ask for my hand in marriage.” Even when he returned his eyes on the road, he kept on watching the younger man from the corner of his eyes, always aware of him on some level.

“But I meant it.” Toshiya pouted, and it was obvious that he had indeed meant it, still did. And would do it again if needed, most likely. “We’re as good as married anyways.” He pointed out, crossing his arms across his chest to show he wasn’t that amused. Or, technically, in an attempt to pretend that he wasn’t amused by the whole talk.

“I know,” the reply came in a gentle tone and one could see the grin on Die’s lips soften into a loving smile. He gave the other man a glance full of affection, not even trying to conceal any of it. “And it’s not like I’d be mad at you for it or anything. But it was embarrassing!” His point was still valid, and he had to point it out.

“Okay, admitted. So, what else?” The bassist knew he was torturing himself, but his curiosity got the best of him. Besides, it couldn’t be anything so bad, now could it? He didn’t remember ever embarrassing the other man, so it must’ve been only small things that had passed him by somehow.

“You need to ask!? Last year topped it all!” Again, laughter was resonating in Die’s voice but he tried hard to remain as serious as possible, taking a deep breath while inwardly reminding himself that this was a serious matter. Finally he went on, his voice calm and collected, although there still was a slight hint of amusement laced somewhere in between. “Remember when we all opened our Christmas presents together? You friggin’ gave me a framed picture of me sucking your dick!”

He had known to expect the reply, at least on some level, as Toshiya instantly defended himself sternly. “Hey, I happen to like that picture! It’s special to me.” What was probably the funniest point, if one asked Die, was that the other man really meant that. He knew it wasn’t even only special as in being a huge turn-on, but the other man really did connect some deeper meanings and emotions to such a vulgar picture.

Still, the guitarist wasn’t done and had the next argument ready by the time his lover stopped to draw for breath. “Baby, you know I like the picture too. It’s only that my grandmother probably didn’t appreciate seeing it all that much, especially judging by the way she screamed and nearly passed out.”

That was an effective way to shut Toshiya up, and after pouting for a while he released a huge sigh. “Okay. It might’ve been a bit too much. I’m sorry.” He didn’t only say it to end the conversation, but meant it. Like he always did. It was one of the most dominant aspects of his personality, after all, being brutally honest in practically every given situation.

Die smiled, finally turning the last curve until he could see the house of his parents and pull over to the side of the yard. He turned towards the younger man, their gazes meeting. “Don’t be, Tosh. Just… just try to keep it down a bit this year, okay?” He reached out his hand, running his fingertips over the younger man’s soft cheek in a gentle gesture that made them both smile automatically. “You know they love you. And I love you. You’re just a tad bit too open for them at times.”

Nodding seriously, Toshiya raised his hand as if he was swearing an oath. “I promise, I’ll try to behave. I really will.” Somehow he managed to pull off the exactly perfect mixture of an adorable teenager and a stunningly gorgeous 30-something-year-old rock god. At least Die was sold. Utterly and completely. He leaned in, planting a soft kiss on the other man’s lips before pulling back to unbuckle his seatbelt.

“Good! Then it’s all settled. C’mon, let’s get going now. You’ve got the presents?” He babbled away, already pushing the door of the car open as he stepped outside, inhaling the fresh winter air deeply. He was stopped by the other man’s voice though, as instead of a reply to the question he only got another one in return.

“Uhm, Die?” Toshiya sounded somewhat tentative, not making a move to get up from the car as he just peeked at the other man through the open front door.

Die bent down until their faces were on the same level, their eyes meeting again. “Yeah?”

“You might not want to open your present in front of your parents.”

Ahahahahah, my god i loved that XD A tad bit to open, man Toshiya is like a huge billboard in central New York sometimes XD

And the ending, perfect and caused another laughter fit :3

[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com 2009-12-24 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Somehow I love to imagine Toshiya like that amongst the people he feels comfortable with XD Just blurting out things way too openly.

I'm glad that you liked it! haha, makes me feel like I did something right XD Thank you!

[identity profile] violentvoice.livejournal.com 2009-12-24 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
This was really good xD I love a Toshiya who is so brually honest and open about his sexuality.

[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com 2009-12-24 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Somehow it fits him, eh? XD Thank you!

[identity profile] violentvoice.livejournal.com 2009-12-24 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's the picture I've got of him and it suits him perfectly^^

[identity profile] daidetre.livejournal.com 2009-12-24 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That picture needs to be in the next Haiiro no Ginka o____o
I can just see it now...
"These are some cool new trainers I bought last week... the drink I drank half an hour ago... and this is Die sucking my cock (laughs)"
Oh Die and Toshiya are so precious xD Both in real life and in your ficcies. Lovely...
And both people I told to read it loved it as much as I did :3

Now I really wanna do some writing but my head feels like a melon that's been dropped from a very tall building
;___;
I shall try anyway! Onwards to Word!

[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com 2009-12-24 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
That now made me laugh out loud XD It would be PRICELESS. And on some absurd level that even sounds like Toshiya *laughs* Awh and yes, they are so precious :3

Trust me, I'm half asleep too XD But yes yes, if you feel like writing you should try! ♥ I can cheer you on XD And thank you for reading! :) I'm happy you liked.

Aw hun, I am just back from my parents, stuffed and really happy. It's been a nice Christmas and I just shortly checked my mails only to find your fic there. Why did I never see that before? I didn't, right?

You made me laugh here in the silent living-room (only Anton snoring in his basket). I really loved it! Heh, how the 'embarrassing moments' got worse and worse with each year. Gods, I so can imagine Die's face turning red when he opened his present and found the picture there. I mean c'mon, all his family certainly was curius what his lover got him and wanted to see. Damn, so made me chuckle!

Needless to say that I just love honest Tosh. I can so see him, thinking back at those moments and then seeing that he might have been a bit too over the top for average parents x) The outing though came out cute. I could see it right before my eyes; a bit ditsy already, the mistle-toe and then the kiss... And of course Tosh's hands belong on Die's butt :D

Thank you hun, you just made my night. Now I can get cleaned up and go to bed and have sweet dreams *hugs tight*

[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com 2009-12-25 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't, since I just wrote it right before posting it XD I had this idea pestering me for the whole day so I took a moment before midnight to type it down and decided to post it instantly as some sort of a Christmas pressie x)

I'm glad if it made you laugh! ;D haha, I totally loved the mere idea of that! I know Toshiya definitely loved the picture, and why not then give it to Die since he knew he'd like it too? Only that he managed to overlook the fact that the family would be there too XD

Oh exactly! He doesn't mean any harm with it, he just is how he is and only later on realizes he went a bit over the top x) I totally love the mere thought of that. And poor Die having to be always the one to ease the situations when Toshiya does something embarrassing XD But I think he's pretty much the only one who can do it all naturally ;)

Oh and yes yes yes! Toshiya's hands were MADE to fondle Die's rear end.

I hope you slept well and had nice dreams :) *hugs back* I surely did! Of these two XD

[identity profile] voxalcafe.livejournal.com 2009-12-25 08:51 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com 2009-12-25 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it now has to remain as a secret XD But nothing average, definitely. At least knowing Toshiya XD

...your icon is distracting x)

[identity profile] scottskydweller.livejournal.com 2009-12-25 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com 2009-12-25 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I love the thought of him being so brutally honest although he means no harm XD

I'm sorry, that has to remain forever a secret x)

...Is that a Detroit Red Wings jacket he's wearing in that pic? If so lol at Die the hockey fan. Maybe he just thought Steve Yzerman was hot.

Cute fic btw - oh Toshiya, he has no tact at all. One of his best qualities, actually.

[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think it's a Red Wings jacket, although admittedly that was the first thing I thought too when I saw it. The logo looks a tad different though. Here, a bigger pic;


Thanks! :) And you're so right! It's at least refreshing to have someone that genuine around. Gotta love that.

...that picture thing really got my attention btw... I can totally imagine toshiya with a camera during sex, totally excited like "oh yeah"? yes... hmm... until he gets bored 'bout that and sets his attention in... other bussines.

[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
haha, I can imagine them BOTH having their fun with it XD And like that, there'll be plenty of nice pictures to get all hot over later on 8D

[identity profile] worlds-junk.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
oh yes, of course they'd both have fun, what I meant is that I totally see Toshiya as the istigator, and Die a willing victim xD

[identity profile] wildmetal-chick.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Ok I love it, I absolutely love it, it's perfect. Hahah Toshiya was just right on point for this story. And Die was hilarious too!
