\nAN<\/b>: Well, after Kira’s post there was just no stopping this whole thing. I’M SORRY. <\/p>\n
Drama Queen<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nice to meet you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The other lead bows politely enough, her trendy bob swinging into her face a little until she smoothes it back with long fingers. <\/p>\n
Jesse Lewis is everything that Hokuto is entirely uninterested in generally. She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s taller than him, way too skinny, and half-American to boot. But minutes later, Hokuto realizes he hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t heard a single word the staff has said; he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s spent the whole time distracted by Jesse\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s adorable scatter of beauty marks. <\/p>\n
It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help at all that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re romantic co-leads for this particular drama. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a spring sports drama, Hokuto the star pitcher for the baseball team who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s recovering from a shoulder injury, and Jesse the team manager who is secretly the team\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s best catcher. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll fall in love in episode three and spend the next seven episodes trying and failing to confess to each other, or at least that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the plan. <\/p>\n
In reality Hokuto falls in love in the middle of filming episode one, and makes it two scenes into episode two before he blurts a confession while the director is busy yelling at the extras to back the fuck up and quit looking at the camera. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Are you kidding?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jesse asks, eyes wide. Mute with embarrassment, Hokuto shakes his head. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t supposed to do that, you know. We can both get fired.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I know,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hokuto manages. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hm,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jesse tucks her hair back again, and oh, Hokuto has already had like three dreams about those fingers. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153All right, then. Just so long as we both know the potential for disaster.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
And then she smiles, wide and pleased and just a little unsure, and it takes every ounce of Hokuto\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s willpower not to kiss her right on the set in front of everybody. The director finally gets back on track just then, and after Hokuto bumbles his way through the scene with pink cheeks and an irregular heartbeat, he gets praised for the power of his longing glances until his blush goes all the way down. It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help that Jesse is standing a meter to the side with her duck-patterned blanket wrapped around her shoulders, giggling at him behind her hand. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Potential for disaster\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is exactly what Jesse is, and Hokuto loves every second of it. It should be impossible to sneak off together with the hectic filming schedule, but somehow they keep managing it, and even if they can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get too far, Hokuto always comes back with lips tingling and blood rushing, Jesse complaining loudly that the wind keeps messing up her hair. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re gonna get caught,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he mumbles against Jesse\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lips when they dare the third time in a day. Jesse has him pressed against the seat of the van he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s supposed to be changing in, settled comfortably enough in his lap that Hokuto has no idea how he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to be able to walk back out in public ever again. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153As if you care,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jesse mumbles back. She drags fingers through Hokuto\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hair, perfectly shaped nails scratching lightly over his scalp and making him whine with pleasure. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I do, though.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hokuto grabs her shoulders and pushes her back far enough for them to look at each other properly. Jesse blinks at him in mild surprise, eyelashes soft and dark against her cheeks, and Hokuto struggles not to be distracted. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re such a good actress, I bet you get a bunch of offers after this. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve heard you sing too, and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re talented. Better than me.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You listened to some of my stuff?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jesse asks, looking a touch embarrassed. Hokuto nods. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153If I screwed all that up for you…\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hokuto\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s stomach twists at just the thought and he has to drop his eyes. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s always worse for the girl, with a Johnny\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stand it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you just the cutest thing sometimes.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jesse\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s smile is small and mysterious, like only girls can do, before she leans in to kiss him one more time. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sweet and chaste, and over all too soon. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153All right, I can be good.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She gives him a wink as she slides off his lap. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153At least for a little while.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Hokuto catches at her wrist and pulls it up to press lips against her palm. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want you to be good,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he says, and truer words have never been spoken by any high school drama romantic lead. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I want you to be smart.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153But not smart enough to avoid sneaking around with a Johnny\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, right?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jesse\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s laugh is sweet and a little wild when Hokuto wrinkles his nose. <\/p>\n
They make it for two whole episodes in only mails and sidelong glances, until Jesse gets a little creative with her mails. Sitting next to her in their collapsible chairs while they wait for the staff to set up and fuss with sound, Hokuto starts to squirm harder with each incoming chime of his phone, entirely aware that Jesse is giggling at his expense not half a meter away, just out of reach. <\/p>\n
[I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to undo your shirt buttons one by one,] this one reads, [but I think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll leave the tie on, at least at first. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so convenient for getting a good grip. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s freezing out here, so my hands will be cold at first, but you won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind, right? You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll warm them up soon enough.]<\/p>\n
Hokuto stands up so fast he gets dizzy, grabs Jesse\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wrist to yank her up too, and orders, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Van, now<\/i>,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in a low, rough voice. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s barely got the door slammed behind them before Jesse shoves him down onto the middle seat and crawls on top. They trade rushed, breathless kisses until Hokuto\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s whole body is thrumming with want. He has to pull away and press his forehead against Jesse\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shoulder to try and calm himself down. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153So much for being good,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he pants, and Jesse\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s laugh buzzes against his chest. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153So much for being smart,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jesse counters. She runs fingers through Hokuto\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hair, and Hokuto squeezes her tightly around the waist with both arms. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153If you hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t held out so long we might actually have time to get something good done in here, you know.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ugh, you,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hokuto groans. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Me,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jesse agrees. She puts cups Hokuto\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cheeks in her palms and tilts his face up to kiss him, unhurried like they have all the time in the world instead of another thirty seconds before someone starts shouting for them. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153But I have good news. Next week? Location filming. You know,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she clarifies when Hokuto blinks at her, uncomprehending. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The kind with hotel rooms.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hokuto says, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ohhh,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and then forget the next thirty seconds, the next week is going to feel like a lifetime, and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s before Jesse leans down to whisper one more thing in his ear.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forget to pack your ties.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
