Title<\/b>: 5 Times Hikaru Told JUMP What They Wanted To Hear (And Once He Didn’t) [Hikaru]
\nRating\/Warnings<\/b>: G. Imagine that!
\nSummary<\/b>: The Your Seed dance is totally beyond them, but Hikaru know better than to actually tell anybody that.
\nAN<\/b>: The Your Seed making of triggered a lot of emotions in me that I haven’t worked through yet, but I know I want to write more fic about HSJ getting closer and Yabu and Hikaru especially taking care of younger members. <\/p>\n
5 Times Hikaru Told JUMP What They Wanted To Hear (And Once He Didn’t)<\/b><\/p>\n
When Hikaru hears the news that the Your Seed is supposed to be a dance PV, he has serious misgivings. But when he actually sees the dance demonstrated to them, he realizes that any apprehension he had before is nothing compared to what he feels now. <\/p>\n
They can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t possibly do this dance. <\/p>\n
Hikaru sneaks glances to his left and right, trying to gauge the others\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 reactions. Inoo and Yabu look serious, Yuto looks worried. Takaki isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even here, still filming Gokusen with no idea what awaits his return, poor bastard. Daiki is tilting his head a little, like he can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even make sense of what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going on, and Chinen is tilting his the other way. Ryutarou looks blank and Yamada looks excited, which Hikaru figures just goes to show their individual freakinesses, but what really makes Hikaru want to wince is Keito\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s face. His expression plainly says that all he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s thinking about is how cool this dance looks, and thus is not even good enough to judge how hard it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to be. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153How long,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yabu asks, voice calm, and Hikaru knows that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s thinking all the same things, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153do we have to learn this?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Yuto whimpers when they hear the answer, and Hikaru wants to. Keito looks up at them, and then suddenly seems to notice everyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s expressions and furrows his brow in confusion. Inoo hisses for Daiki to text Takaki, but Chinen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s already got his phone out and is probably doing exactly that, unless he hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sent Ohno-senpai his daily love note. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hikaru-kun,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ryutarou asks, face still blank, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153do you think we can do this?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Of course we can,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hikaru answers, putting an arm around Ryutarou and squeezing his shoulder. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll look great.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a patent lie, but Hikaru\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a jyannis long enough to know that the truth isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t going to get them anywhere, and although Ryutarou tilts his head back to look at Hikaru with his blank face that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s already starting to lose its baby fat, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s one too and so doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t argue.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What do you think?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yabu asks Hikaru halfway through their first practice. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re taking a water break and both of them have their backs turned to the others, needing an emotional break from the pain of watching it as much as a physical one. <\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s exactly as bad as Hikaru had feared, only it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worse. BEST might manage the dance in time, excepting the one member who is only present in the panicked mail he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d sent back to Daiki, but 7 might as well be doing interpretive backdance to Yamada\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s quasi-competence. <\/p>\n
What they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re interpreting is anybody\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s guess. <\/p>\n
Hikaru finishes draining his water bottle, but Yabu\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still waiting, and Hikaru reluctantly admits to himself that Yabu wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t asking a rhetorical question. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hikaru starts, pausing when there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a crash and two yelps of pain behind them, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153it can only get better, right?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Yabu sighs, and they both put their faces back together and turn around to see if anybody\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bleeding. <\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hikaru-kun,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Keito says several practices later, and Hikaru\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s trying very hard not to count them, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do this dance, can I?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Keito\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s voice is low and rough and he won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t lift his gaze up from the floor. Hikaru figures that if Keito hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been crying, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s about to. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s certainly well-deserved; Keito has to practice longer and harder than any of them, and sometimes still doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem to make any progress. <\/p>\n
This dance is one of those times. Hikaru puts an arm on Keito\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shoulders and lets him shift closer. He and Keito aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t particularly close, but then again, Keito isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t particularly close to anyone in JUMP yet. At moments like these, Keito is more prone to seek out one of the older boys, and Hikaru wonders as a side note whether all those stories about British boarding schools are true after all. <\/p>\n
Keito sniffles quietly and stands very still under Hikaru\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s touch. On the one hand, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good sign that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s at least improved enough to figure out the dance is too complex for him, but on the other hand, Hikaru doubts Keito will take a lot of comfort in that fact. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You can do it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hikaru says instead. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153They wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have stuck you in here if you couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t, would they?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Hikaru keeps his reassuring face pasted firmly on as Keito looks up with red eyes to search Hikaru\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s face. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153O-okay.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Keito takes a shaky breath and lets it out, and Hikaru doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know whether it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be better or worse in the end if somebody doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t explain how the Jimusho really works to Keito soon. <\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153How does it look?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Takaki asks hopefully. His bangs are plastered to his forehead with sweat, his T-shirt soaked through. The hand that he runs through his hair is shaking slightly, and he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s starting to favor one of his knees. <\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s long after regular practice is over, but Inoo and Hikaru have agreed to stay after to help Takaki catch up, since Yabu and Daiki stayed yesterday, and Chinen is just hanging around because Takaki is. <\/p>\n
Filming\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in two days, and this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really the sort of dance you can perfect all by yourself, since most of the moves have to coordinate with others. On either side of Hikaru, Inoo and Chinen sit quietly, apparently unwilling to answer. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Looks good,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hikaru says. Chinen opens his mouth, and Hikaru pinches his thigh. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll run it again,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Takaki says wearily. <\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
The last practice is far and away the worst, because miraculously they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve improved too much to just give it up, but not far enough that the choreographer will let them go away to die in peace. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yabu says quietly so that no one but Hikaru will hear. Ryutarou would hear too, if he weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t curled up in an exhausted ball, breathing evenly. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do it again. I think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to pass out.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Take this.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hikaru hands Yabu his sports drink and stands up, ignoring the way his legs shake. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6well, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do something.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I just need like fifteen minutes,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yabu says as he leans his head against the wall, and Hikaru would argue with him if he thought it would do any good, but instead he just turns and trudges back into the hallway and down to the other practice room, every muscle aching dully. <\/p>\n
Takaki\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s down, a bag of ice on one knee, and Yamada\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s down beside him, his ankle propped up on top of the same bag of ice. Daiki, Keito, and Yuto are practicing with the mirror while the choreographer explains what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wrong with one of the hand motions to Inoo and Chinen for the fifteenth time. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Where\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Yabu-kun and Morimoto-kun?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the choreographer asks when he notices Hikaru\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s return. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I sent you to go find them.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yabu\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s helping Ryutarou out with one of the moves,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hikaru says. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153They needed more space. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be back in fifteen minutes.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fine, fine,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the choreographer grumbles, then turns to stop Yuto from doing essentially everything that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s doing. <\/p>\n
Hikaru slumps down on the floor beside Takaki with relief, then lays his head on Takaki\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s thigh and moans weakly. Takaki drops the bag of ice on his head and pats his shoulder. <\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tell me we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re done,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Inoo moans when Hikaru pokes him with a foot. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s flat on his back on the cold concrete of the sound stage, Chinen and Daiki beside him. Hikaru kind of feels like he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kicking puppies, puppies dressed up in embarrassingly adorable clothes by psychotic little old lady owners, but then again that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the Jimusho in a nutshell, he figures. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nope,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hikaru answers honestly, then holds out a hand when Inoo cracks an eye to glare at him. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153But we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be really close if you hauled your ass up off the floor.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Inoo grumbles but lets Hikaru pull him up, then they help Chinen and Daiki up too, and Hikaru turns them all towards where Yabu is standing on the stage and getting the others into a circle, and pushes them forward until they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in the circle too. <\/p>\n
He squeezes his way in right beside Yabu, giving a disgruntled Ryutarou a dorky grin, then turns his attention to the encouragement Yabu\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s offering. <\/p>\n
The last couple weeks have sucked a lot, Hikaru thinks as he puts his hand in with the others, but it all pulled together in the end, like it usually does. JUMP pulled together, which is still a new feeling, and Hikaru feels proud of them all, because everybody did what they could, and then did whatever else had to be done on top of that. <\/p>\n
As they break apart and head back to their positions, Yabu pauses just long enough to put a hand on Hikaru\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shoulder and offer him a smile, and Hikaru knows that Yabu\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s thinking all the same things.<\/p>\n
