just a litte push
Category: Drabble ficlet
Pairing: Taguchi x Nakamaru (TaguMaru)
Disclaimer: I only own the story...
Summary: Just a little push. That's all it takes for Nakamaru to decide that he wants that kind of romance; the one that will make him sigh dreamily - and he wants it with Taguchi.
Word Count: 440
note: apology beforehand, since I'm still iffy about my characterisation. But, I still hope I'm not that far off >< and as always, this is written for my darling Sunshine,
itz_menos ♥ ~---
Slapping the book closed, Nakamaru decides that he wants that kind of romance; that kind that will make him sigh dreamily and make him float high pass cloud nine above.
And so, he reaches for his mobile phone.
“Nakamaru-kun, shit! Don't tell me I forgot to meet you again?”
It takes Nakamaru a while to answer, as he’s soundlessly laughing himself to scorn at just how ridiculously his heart is beating just from hearing his name dripping off Taguchi’s tongue, artfully moving between his lips.
“Let’s go for a walk”, he eventually says.
“Now?” Taguchi asks, “look at the time. It’s late night”.
Nakamaru hums in ponder, supposing he could wait. But then he looks at the moon big and tempting in the sky and he somehow feels courageous, ready to shove his virtuous patience aside. After all, he has been using that same patience to drop signs here and there: taking the same dance class, planning dates for survival games – which Taguchi completely casually forgets, and then there’s that particular treat to lunch in Shibuya - that on a normal occasion would cause his heart and wallet to wail.
“I have something to tell you”, he says.
“And you can’t say it now?”
I want to see your face, he wants to tell him.
But instead, he replies, “I could. But I rather not”.
The phone line goes quiet, and all Nakamaru can hear is the nervous pounding of his heart. He tightens his grip around his mobile phone, trying hard to listen beyond his growing panic, wondering where his courage just seconds ago has ditched him to, leaving him nothing but jittery.
“Twenty minutes”, Taguchi says at last, “I’ll be at the pub by the crossroads”. Nakamaru cringes at hearing an unmistakable smile in Taguchi’s voice.
He knows.
Clicks. Dial tone.
Taguchi knows.
And so Nakamaru finds himself staring at his phone until he realises only 15 minutes is left. So he grabs his coat, his wallet and the book he reads and heads to the door. But just before he leaves, he makes one final attempt to reaffirm his resolve – so he takes out his harmonica and blows a melody, imagining himself being musical notes on a sheet soaring to those long arms of Taguchi’s.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
That’s the kind of romance he wants; that one that sweeps him off his feet and makes him sigh blissfully like that silly couple in his book.
But yet again, as he drives down the empty street, he supposes he could have waited at least until morning. But then his phone beeps and he reads Taguchi’s message saying;
Waiting for you.
Nakamaru presses more gas.
Waiting, is no longer an option.
...
hmm the open-ending isn't how I had originally pictured it, but after making a few shifts, it worked out like this >< I still hope it was a piece to your liking ><

Furthermore, I don't read that pairing very often but since yours are very short, I read them in one breath.
This one was as cute as the previous about Junno-shine.
Btw, would it bother you if I translated your little stories as this one into French ? I would like to share that kind of cute story to other people. ^^ Well, you don't have to, I still would enjoy them anyways.

And Thank You! :-) really glad that I can make a non-fan still interested in them <3333

That boy knows not the word called 'rest' ><
But the music with the time setting seems interesting. Looking forward to it!

However... someone said something and yes, it's true ! Kame'll have to build up his body for the role !!! So he'll come back to what he was before, more or less. *lucky bunny we are, right ? 8D*

It makes me wonder just how healthy that is ><
but oh well, it comes with the package of fame and greatness, I suppose.

And also the feeling that comes when he decides Taguchi knows It's like sort of scared and embarrassed and maybe we should just stay at home instead. But he has his resolve and waiting is no longer an option :)

Thank you!
Molding the scenario from their recent meet-ups and how they both mention on their J-webs that they are together more than their usual, is just timely to initiate more certain impacts of cute atmosphere for this two ;3
..imagining himself being musical notes on a sheet soaring to those long arms of Taguchi’s. -- I chuckled after reading this part xD It's cheesy in a way but with a comedic feeling since I imagined Nakamaru thinking about it. Lol.
I had fun reading this especially that as you are aware, my mind has been messed up with work-related issues
and my brain stopped working as well >.<so sparing time for this one was really a good idea.I don't have any problem with open ending because it creates more plots depending on how the reader would like to imagine it and I think it's nice that it also brought the feeling of wanting more of what should be next :D
Thank you so much for writing this! ♥ ♥ ♥ And I hope you won't stop doing one and did I already tell you that I like your style on drabbles? ;]
Leaving this here because a cuddling adorableness is needed after reading this xD
Re: Thank you!
Super glad you found so many parts to flail about ^^ and happier that this piece could distract you a bit from your hard weeks at work ><
hehe after watching that programme with his lock and key confession and date, he's really cheesy, but cute at the same time :-)
Good luck, hun xoXo
