Fic, JE, Mugendai

Rating/Warnings: PG
Summary: Reassurances pass from one person to the next.
AN: idek, september is a hard month for a JE fan, it seems. I guess my point is, there's nothing we can do about what happens, and you just have to enjoy what's going on right now and hope for the best, and in the end your favorites are still your favorites, and the boys who are friends will still be friends. If they can manage to keep their smiles on and go out there and get it done, then so can we.
Mugendai
友情 (Friendship)
“It’ll be fine,” Taiyou says, and he gives them his warmest, most reassuring smile. “You’ll see.”
“Of course it will,” Shoon replies after a long moment, answering for all three of them, and after another second Yabu and Hikaru manage smiles too.
You can’t help but smile, really, when Taiyou starts it.
真実 (truth)
“It’ll be fine,” Yabu says firmly, desperately, because it has to be fine and neither of them, none of them, have any choice.
Hikaru swallows his complaints about the work and the song and the tiny bandmates and the five minute mark, and gives himself a shake.
“Yeah,” he agrees, looking Yabu in the eye to show he’s serious, now, “yeah, okay. Let’s do it.”
夢 (dream)
“It’ll be fine,” Hasshi says, his voice stubborn and too loud. It’s hard to keep on looking like he means it, but he knows that Takaki and Inoo-chan and Dai-chan wouldn’t want him to give up.
Besides, Shintarou’s been looking feisty lately, and Hasshi definitely isn’t going to lose to another Morimoto.
“Get up!” Hasshi demands, kicking at Taku and Sanada’s feet, ignoring the way they glare up at him from the floor. “Practice isn’t over!”
People leave Shounen Club all the time, Hasshi sets his jaw as they start over again, and it’s up to whoever’s left to level up and fill in the spaces.
希望 (hope)
“It’ll be fine!” Sanada insists, pushing a reluctant Nozawa forward. “You sing, you dance, you’re cute, it’ll all be fine. Besides, Taku could be kind of a pill sometimes anyway.”
Before Nozawa can protest any further, Sanada pulls them to a halt in front of a thoughtful Koyama and a curious Hasshi, and explains in great and breathless detail how the best part about the whole thing is that they won’t even have to change the costume sizes or the schedule.
“Well,” Koyama says, “let’s try it.”
“Please take care of me,” Nozawa mumbles, wretched with embarrassment.
幸せ (happiness)
“It’ll be fine,” Kawai brushes off Shoon’s concerns about skill sets and choreography as he slings an arm around Shoon’s shoulders. “It’ll be fun!”
“I feel badly about it,” Shoon starts, but Tottsu tells him not to bother, that even if he were only half as acrobatic as he is, it would still be miles better than Toshin, and they both laugh when Shoon comments that he’s hardly Toshin.
“Believe me,” Kawai rolls his eyes, “that’s for the best. Shoon is just fine with us.”
“Then I’ll do my best,” Shoon replies, squaring his shoulders.
笑顔 (smile)
“It’ll be fine,” Fujigaya offers, but even he seems flatter than usual, and Kawai and Goseki just grunt in reply. With Fujigaya they don’t have to pretend, like they have all day, that all the ups and downs are just fine with them.
Neither one of them have said out loud that maybe this whole concert thing is more trouble than its worth, but Fujigaya can see the thought in both Kawai and Goseki’s eyes.
Fujigaya’s face feels tired from keeping his smile on all day; he can’t imagine how it is for them. The best he can to is to take them out, away, just for a little while, long enough for all their cheek muscles to unkink.
“Okay,” Goseki finally says, touching Kawai’s arm, and Kawai nods.
They both thank Fujigaya with hugs as they all get up, but Fujigaya doesn’t feel that he deserves it so much. He didn’t do much; in his experience, A.B.C. always manages in their own way.
勇気 (strength)
“It’ll be fine,” Tsuka answers Senga’s hesitant questions about A.B.C.-Z’s practices. That’s what Kawai said when they were informed officially, and that’s what Tottsu said to cut off Hasshi’s flustered apologies the first day of practice. It’s what Goseki mouthed to Shoon when they caught eyes across the practice room.
“Do you think it will really?” Senga asks, chewing his lower lip.
Senga is earnest and adorable, and Tsuka doesn’t mind that he’s probably more worried about how it will reflect on Kis-My-Ft2 if the concerts go badly than exactly what the sudden lineup changes mean.
Senga shakes his head. “Tsuka-chan’s strong, ne. If it were me, if it were Kisumai, I’d be really scared right now.”
“It’ll be fine,” Tsuka repeats, gently and simply, because that’s what they all tell each other, and they don’t all have to believe it all the time, because there’s the others to remind them.
That’s where the real strength is, Tsuka learned a long time ago. That’s what makes them a unit.
旅立ち (journey)
“It all turned out fine,” Shoon says, adjusting his cell phone against his shoulder, the distance between them crackling over the line. “In the end.”
“See?” Taiyou says, smug and proud. “I told you so.”

Date: 2008-09-18 10:21 pm (UTC)I think it's hard to remember, when it's YOUR favorites who are getting shuffled around, that it's all happened before in JE and it'll all happen again. People leave and change and quit and grow up, but they stay and hang on and work hard and grow closer too. It's what makes JE what it is, and you can't ignore it, but you can't focus on all the hard parts either.
We all love Arashi, and NEWS (even after everything), just as much as groups that make it through like T&T or KAT-TUN or K8. I'm starting to love HSJ like that, and I know that other people are too.
I don't have any doubt that, eventually, we'll all love whatever comes next too. It's just a matter of getting there.

Date: 2008-09-18 10:23 pm (UTC)I'm sure it will. It might not feel that way at first, or even soon, but eventually it'll all turn out.

Date: 2008-09-18 09:47 pm (UTC)I refuse to stop spamming any entry that mentions his name without this until I see him on some kind of media again.
kfjsakf OH, HASSHI's moritmoto complex is so sad. Everyone else is just generally endearing in this.
I totally knew you were going to write something about that song.
no subject
Date: 2008-09-18 10:26 pm (UTC)Taiyou always kind of read that way to me.
yeah, it touched me on a weird level. It was the weird mix of people, the fact that I knew all those words, and it sort of caught me at a moment where I was wide open to being moved.

Date: 2008-09-19 01:10 am (UTC)I only realized now that there is actually more heartbreak when you fangirl juniors. but they really are worth it<3
no subject
Date: 2008-09-19 08:19 am (UTC)I really needed this right now. This is only my second September, and last year's was right when I started falling in love with the juniors, so I'm pretty stressed. D:
no subject
Date: 2008-09-21 06:08 pm (UTC)Oh, I really hope so ♥
This was an awesome fic though (:
no subject
Date: 2008-09-27 05:15 pm (UTC)This one was very cleverly done, the way you broke it down into several situtations that are all one and the same thing. And it's so true that it's like a never-ending cycle, that it will happen again and again, but it will turn out fine in the end, as Shoon says.
Thanks for sharing. <3
no subject
Date: 2008-09-27 05:58 pm (UTC)But, yeah, Shoon has at this point seen it all, and probably most of it twice. So I'm glad to see him happy and to write about him being happy, because i'm sure a lot of younger juniors who are less versed in the ways of JE look to him for reassurance and stability, and I'm sure that a lot of older juniors and debuted guys are closer with him than we think because of sharing Shokura and the Y3 show for so long, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of all of that.
