\nSummary<\/b>: Ten years of moments, from when Fujigaya and Tsukada entered the Jimusho, until this one.
\nAN<\/b>: from shatteredtenshi<\/a>: “10 years ago today, November 8th, at the age of 11, Taisuke joined Johnny’s Jimusho along with Jin, Kame, Maru, Massu and Tsuka. 10 years today, Taisuke and Tsuka together with EbiKisu will be starting their Yoyogi concerts, which are encore concerts thanks to fans support.”<\/p>\n
Ebikisu are close to my heart these days, as the cons go on and we’ve gone past HSJ’s anniversary, jr groups that I learned at the same time as Ya-Ya-yah, and i can’t imagine what Taipi and Tsuka are feeling today. I’m desperately hoping that Taipi cries like a total girl, and that there’s cameras there so it’ll be on a DVD. But either way, \u00e8\u00a8\u02dc\u00e5\u00bf\u00b5\u00e6\u2014\u00a5\u00e3\u0081\u00ab\u00e3\u201a\u00aa\u00e3\u0192\u00a1\u00e3\u0192\u2021\u00e3\u0192\u02c6\u00e3\u201a\u00a6\u00ef\u00bc\u0081 It’s so fitting that a member from each group celebrates such an amazing anniversary today, and I wish both of them, and all of Ebikisu, ten more years of love from fans and from each other. <\/p>\n
But on the other hand, I really wish this 3k were on my NaNo. Sigh. <\/p>\n
\u00e3\u0081\u201a\u00e3\u0081\u009d\u00e3\u0081\u201c\u00e3\u0081\u2039\u00e3\u201a\u2030\u00e3\u0081\u201c\u00e3\u0081\u201c\u00e3\u0081\u00be\u00e3\u0081\u00a7 (From There Until Here)<\/b><\/p>\n
1998<\/b><\/p>\n
Fujigaya Taisuke has to struggle not to bounce on his toes as he, along with a group of others, are introduced to Johnny\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Juniors. Most of the other boys joining at the same time as him are older, and Fujigaya doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to give a first impression of being just another little eleven-year-old, just some baby. <\/p>\n
A senpai is explaining things to the boys, things about schedules and costumes and practices which are probably important, but Fujigaya can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t concentrate. Instead, he glances around at the other boys standing with him, some of them looking serious, and others fidgeting nervously. They were all introduced, although Fujigaya certainly didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t learn all their names that quickly. He thinks there might have been a Masuda, and a Naka-something, and boy to his right is named Kamenashi he knows, because he looks shy and scared, like a little turtle. <\/p>\n
Fujigaya wonders if he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go to junior high with any of these boys, if they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll become friends, if they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have sleepovers and meals and maybe one day concerts together. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to imagine any of them looking anything like the idols his mother watches on television, like V6 or those new guys she likes from Kinki. Right now, none of them look anything like that. Right now they all look the same. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hey,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Fujigaya turns to whisper to the boy beside him (to the left, not the right because Turtle-kun looks like he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s about to throw up on the shaggy-haired, wide-eyed boy on his other side), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153be friends with me, okay? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll let you in my concerts, someday.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153All right,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d answers the boy shyly, but his smile is friendly, and Fujigaya has a good feeling about him because his name starts with Ryo, like his brother. Fujigaya nods briskly, ready to win over as many others as he can, starting from right then. <\/p>\n
Fujigaya doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to look the same. Fujigaya wants to stand out. <\/p>\n
1999<\/b><\/p>\n
Tsukada is easy-going and friendly, and likes the bustle of the Jimusho. He likes the practices with lots of other boys, likes the songs and the dances, and most of all he likes it when some of the other boys start calling him \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tsuka,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d because it means they like him enough to come up with a nickname for him. <\/p>\n
He doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind that he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really garner any personal attention, Tsuka isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like that. Some of the other boys struggle always to be noticed, to be in front or to be loudest, to hold the microphone or catch a second of the camera\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s attention.<\/p>\n
Instead of worrying about it, Tsuka just does his best and learns what he can by watching and listening to the older boys. And he smiles, whether someone is watching or not, because it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fun, and he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s happy to be there. <\/p>\n
But when Takizawa-senpai approaches him out of the blue during a practice and praises his efforts, ruffles his hair and tells him, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Good work today, Tsuka-chan,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d suddenly Tsuka does understand. <\/p>\n
After that, Tsuka works harder and makes sure he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s smiling when he thinks someone else or the camera might be looking, striving for that same spark of warmth that Takizawa\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s words kindled in his chest. <\/p>\n
2000<\/b><\/p>\n
Sometimes Fujigaya gets frustrated with how he works and works, but nothing much seems to change. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a junior high student now, and he knows he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cute, but there doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem to be any rhyme or reason to why some older boys get noticed but then other times brand new trainees get attention right away.<\/p>\n
The formula of it remains just out of Fujigaya\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s reach, and it drives him crazy that he carries on day after day, unnoticed, while younger and newer boys outstrip him. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Who the hell is Ohno-kun anyway,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Fujigaya grumbles as his family watches clips of Arashi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first concert on the news, pouting. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think they look cool,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ryosuke retorts, just to be difficult, and Fujigaya pouts harder when his mother agrees with his brother. <\/p>\n
The hell of it is, Fujigaya thinks as he watches and enjoys JE\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s newest debuted unit in spite of himself, is that he actually agrees. <\/p>\n
2001<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Please take care of me,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tsuka says to his new unitmates, and knows he is grinning like a complete moron, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to care since they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all doing it too.<\/p>\n
He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got a unit, he thinks to himself. Their name is Acrobatic Boys Club, and they were all specially picked, and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re his<\/i> unit, and Tsuka doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know whether the pride is for himself or for all of them, but his heart feels like it might split from it.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nice to meet you!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Kawai-kun chirps, which makes them all laugh because it isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know each other before. Totsuka and Koshioka hi-five, and Yudai lo-fives Totsuka in turn, and then Kawai barrels into it too, shamelessly demanding attention from the older boys, and drags Tsuka along with him. <\/p>\n
Tsuka knows it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s silly to get your hopes up about things like this, not when they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re so young and units come and go all the time, but it feels like this is something special to him, feels like it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s something that could last. <\/p>\n
Tsuka squeezes Yudai around the waist and gets shoved by Totsuka from behind, and he really hopes that this will last. <\/p>\n
2002<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Taipi shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t pout,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tackey sing-songs, grabbing Fujigaya in a headlock and mussing up his carefully styled hair until Fujigaya is whining in protest and squirming against his hold. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t suit you, little brother.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
But even attention from a favorite senpai doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t cheer up Fujigaya for long, and for Fujigaya that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really saying something. Besides, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easy for Tackey to say that when he gets to debut, when he gets to keep his unit after all. Fujigaya is happy for him, really he is. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been hoping for Tackey and Tsubasa to stay together harder than anybody, except maybe the duo themselves.<\/p>\n
But the happiness seems like a dim warmth when Fujigaya has to come to Shokura practice alone, again, his last short-lived unit dissolved again. It wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be so bad if it didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem like everybody else was in a unit except him as he glances across the practice room. Lately he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s begun to worry that maybe Johnny\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t where he belongs after all, if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to turn out that he keeps ending up alone. <\/p>\n
Still though, as he spots Tsuka dashing across the room towards him, Fujigaya forces himself to smile, knowing that being grumpy to others will just worsen his mood and make practice seem endless. Tsuka is dragging another junior along with him, and Fujigaya tilts his head curiously as Tsuka skids to a stop in front of him, breathless with excitement. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ne, Taipi!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tsuka exclaims, tugging the other junior forward by the wrist. He looks small and shy, but Fujigaya can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t guess whether he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s older or younger. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is Goseki-kun! He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in A.B.C. now!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nice to meet you,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Fujigaya greets, getting a shy smile from the other boy in return, and Fujigaya reminds himself that Tackey-senpai always says that if he thinks good things will happen hard enough, they usually do. <\/p>\n
2003<\/b><\/p>\n
When the announcements are made, Tsuka is terrified. He closes his eyes tightly and thinks please not Tottsu, please not Tottsu<\/i>, even as he feels guilty for not wishing for Tottsu\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s debut, or for not thinking the others would be chosen to debut.<\/p>\n
When Shige-kun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s name is the last called, Tsuka hears Kawai give a soft sob of relief beside him and opens his eyes. He feels a pang of sympathy for Yokoo and Iida, who are blinking at each other in shock, but he has to look away from the expression on Toma\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s face. He turns instead to pat Kawai\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s back, who is trying to hide his tears of relief against Tottsu\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shoulder. Fumi-kun really is the baby, sometimes. <\/p>\n
Practices are strained at first afterwards, groups of friends having obvious holes and ex-units lingering in awkward half-formations. A current of whispers runs under every conversation, some supportive (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He deserves it, ne, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worked hard,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) and some cruel (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Who the fuck is Tegoshi?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d). KAT-TUN is dangerous to go get too close to, and Ya-Ya-yah is keeping mostly to themselves, clinging to each other tightly even as they try to deal with the loss of such popular regulars from their show, and Tsuka knows how they feel. He stays close to the members of his own unit, likes to keep them within touching distance, as if none of them can be sure the danger\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really past. <\/p>\n
Things are changing in Johnny\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, quick and hard, and Tsuka knows it has to happen that way sometimes, but it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make it hurt any less when he comes around a corner and stumbles over Inoo-chan with his arms tight around Koyama-kun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s waist, sniffling into his shirt. Koyama pats Inoo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s back awkwardly and meets Tsuka\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gaze with eyes that are sad and scared and excited all at once. Tsuka goes back the way he came quietly, as if nothing happened. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Where were you?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Goseki asks when he gets back. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nowhere,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tsuka shakes his head. Talking about it won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do any good. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ne, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s work hard today, okay?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Un,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tottsu agrees, arm tight around Kawai\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shoulders, and Kawai looks between them before firming up his own expression of uncertainty into one of determination. <\/p>\n
They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re still together, after all. They can still go on. <\/p>\n
2004<\/b><\/p>\n
Here we go again<\/i>, Fujigaya thinks to himself when he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s told he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be in Kis-My-Ft, but at least he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been chosen, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been noticed and picked out. He softens quickly, though; he likes Yokoo-kun and Iida-kun, and Kitayama-kun seems nice enough, even if his short haircut looks awkward growing out and he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really know how anything works since he joined the Jimusho so late. <\/p>\n
He likes them, he finds himself thinking during the Arashi cons, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s happy. Ohno-senpai says Fujigaya looks energetic these days, and Sho-senpai comments on how much Fujigaya has grown up, and by the end of the tour, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Fujigaya who cries the hardest, as though it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s his unit finishing their last concert instead of Arashi. <\/p>\n
They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re his unit, he realizes all at once, winded by the sudden shock of it, a heat in his chest, and he wants to keep them. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153To Fujigaya Taisuke,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Kitayama starts his letter, muffling the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcta\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 into a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcda\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 just so Fujigaya will yell at him, even while on the inside Fujigaya agrees more with the alternate reading. <\/p>\n
He belongs somewhere, finally, belongs here, and Fujigaya beams brighter than the stage lights when it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s his turn to tell Kitayama that too. <\/p>\n
2005<\/b><\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really a miracle, Tsuka can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help but laugh to himself, that KAT-TUN has made it after all this time. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s happy for Kamenashi-kun and Akanishi-kun, and Nakamaru-kun, who entered the Jimusho along with him and now are finally getting what they wanted. <\/p>\n
He guesses the senpai must know what they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing, sometimes. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tsuka-chan seems energetic today,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tottsu comments during practice, and Tsuka blushes. Maybe bullying Kawai into the handspring contest hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been particularly subtle. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m happy!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he says anyway. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hey, now that there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a new unit, do you think we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get to backdance for them at concerts? I really want to backdance for Nakamaru-kun!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You idiot,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Goseki laughs from where he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s seated on a still-out-of-breath Kawai\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chest. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We already backdance for too many things! We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be too exhausted to do anything else if you keep adding concerts!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s level up, then,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tsuka says, and he meant it as a joke, but it comes out an invitation instead, and he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take it back. Today he feels like they can do anything, if they reach for it.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s do it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Goseki agrees immediately, scrambling to his feet and tugging Kawai up with him. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that new thing called again?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Crazy Accel,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tsuka answers, then trips Tottsu for making fun of his accent. <\/p>\n
2006<\/b><\/p>\n
Kitayama sulks for a while after Iida leaves, and Fujigaya empathizes with him. Sometimes, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easy to forget that Kitayama hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been a jyannis for near as long as most of them have. <\/p>\n
Then again, maybe that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why he and Senga-chan get along so well. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153But it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not the same without Iida-kun!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Senga protests, eyes wide and sad, and beside him Nikaido makes a derisive noise but is staring at the floor. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be the I!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ne, Senga-chan, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get all upset like that,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Fujigaya counsels, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. He holds out the other arm to Nikaido, but Nikaido turns away after a second, and trots over to the corner where Yokoo has been tying and untying his skate for the last five minutes. <\/p>\n
Behind him, he hears Kitayama snort, no doubt amused that Fujigaya is for once the voice of reason. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like it when things change,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d cute, soft-hearted Senga says, rubbing his cheek against Fujigaya\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s jacket, and Fujigaya hopes he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get fur in his eye. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like it when people leave.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153They do it anyway, though,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Fujigaya says, letting Senga cling as tightly as he likes. Nearby, Miyata and Tamamori have quieted, and Fujigaya knows they are listening in. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153But, you know, if Koyama, Shige, and Kusano hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t left K.K.Kity, we wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have Wataru, and you like Wataru too, right?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Senga nods, giving a little sniff. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Units change, Ken-chan. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not forever. So whoever\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s here right now, we have to do our best with them, okay? We have to go forward.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Go forward until what?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Senga wants to know, but he seems calmer, just a weird question like Senga asks at random now and then. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Until whenever,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Fujigaya declares, as if that settles everything. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Maa, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s go practice already! It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cause you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all lazy that you four kouhai nearly skate off the stage every filming!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
2007<\/b> <\/p>\n
Butoukan is exhilarating, and Tsuka thrives from the high tension and the intense dance practices. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not used to be picked out, being encouraged to work his talents to stand out rather than to fit in a group. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard work, with the double practices, and Tsuka\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so busy that eventually he realizes that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s barely been missing Kawai, Goseki, and Tottsu at all. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t feel guilty!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yara laughs when Tsuka admits what he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been thinking. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Being in special projects is exciting. Tsuka-chan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lucky, to have never switched units before.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mm,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tsuka agrees, and he feels quietly pleased thinking about it, feels like he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to worry about whether A.B.C. will be there for him to come back to.<\/p>\n
They will, he knows. Tsuka\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s free to explore on his own a little, for once, to grow. And when he does come back, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll want to see everything he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s learned. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oi!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Nikaido yells, sticking his head in the practice room. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you done yet<\/i>?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Give us back our kouhai!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Kitayama shouts from behind him. <\/p>\n
Tsuka and Yara exchange grins as Senga yells back for them to go away, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still busy! Seems like Kisumai is maybe a little different. <\/p>\n
2008<\/b><\/p>\n
It seems like the sea of people stretches on forever, an ocean of softly waving light sticks, the roar of the crowd filling their ears like water. <\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s beautiful, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s moving, and all at once Fujigaya is overcome by what a long, winding trip it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been from there to here, to Yoyogi, by the fact that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s his concert he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s crying at for once instead of somebody else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. <\/p>\n
He tries to shove it back, to concentrate on singing and dancing, on doing all the things they’ve been practicing for so hard for so long, but it crashes over him in odd moments. Senga\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s solo and Nikaido\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rap, seeing what strong and handsome men they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re becoming; his own dance with Goseki, how they never bump into each other on-stage because they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re so familiar with each other\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s timing; Tottsu\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s announcing and Miyata\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s MC, and the way Tamamori can make a swirl of screams ripple through a section with just a look these days; Yokoo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s guitar during \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Smile,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d warm and familiar; even Hasshi makes Fujigaya choke up at one point, Hasshi who started out so embarrassed by his own presence that he could barely practice, and now laughs the hardest out of all of them when Kawai tsukkomis him for being taller than his senpai. <\/p>\n
Hasshi comes right back with the fact that Kawai is more childish mentally than even him, and Fujigaya has to turn away for a second to get himself together. <\/p>\n
He finds Tsuka standing beside him, and they both give a watery laugh at the sight of each other\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s faces, Fujigaya betting that his looks just as emotional as Tsuka\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. He grabs Tsuka in a hug on impulse, and even though they haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t talked about their anniversary being today, he knows it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in Tsuka\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s heart too by the way it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pounding as fiercely as his own.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ne, Tsuka-chan,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Fujigaya tries to choke out around the lump in his throat, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Congratu–\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Thank you,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tsuka interrupts, whispering against Fujigaya\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ear so that his voice doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t crack, but it does anyway, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153for letting me in your concert.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Fujigaya lets out a little sob and holds onto Tsuka tighter, until the others notice and accuse them of doing weird things during MCs, and pull them apart so that they can pick on them in front of thousands of fangirls for being crybabies. Fujigaya pulls himself together enough to say that they are all just jealous of his ero ero dance, the lump in his throat dissolving into laughter when Kawai and Hasshi immediately begin to do impressions of Fujigaya, and Fujigaya is glad for the distraction, for his friends and for Ebikisu, or whatever the hell their unit is now. <\/p>\n
He just starts right up again anyway, when Tottsu uses his own mic to remind the crowd about Tsuka and Fujigaya\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s anniversaries.<\/p>\n
