i am trying to get back in the habit of writing and not sucking, so i'm doing a ridiculously restrictive drabble prompt meme \(^O^)/
the rules are as follows:
Akame only, none of this Kokame Jinda Jinno mumbo jumbo you kids today are so fond of NO AUS. NO HIGH SCHOOLS, NO NINJAS, NO PROSTITUTES, NO AUS. Canon based divergent Alternate Reality fics will be allowed, eg, What if Jin never came back from LA, What if Kame never fought with Pi, etc. Absolutely no PWP. Management reserves the right to arbitrarily and irrationally change these rules at any time.

Date: 2008-08-18 01:12 pm (UTC)"Who's that?" Masahiko asks when Jin hollers, "GANBATTE KAME!!!!! GO GO GO!!!!!!!" out of nowhere. The ball isn't even in play.
Kame blushes and pulls his cap down over his brow, crosses and uncrosses his arms. Masahiko is staring at him with his sunburnt face, acne just starting to scatter down his cheeks and along the perimeter of his buzz cut. He's the best player on the team, other than Kame, and everyone says they're best friends. Even Kame says they're best friends, sometimes, because sometimes they practice alone together when everyone has gone home, and once he went to Masahiko's house and his mother made them okonomiyaki.
Kame hasn't told him about Johnny's. Kame hasn't told anybody. Nobody he knows would get it, because all they think about is baseball. All Kame thinks about is baseball, too, but being an idol might be kind of cool as well. Jin says he can do both. Jin says that from now on they can do anything they want. Jin is Kame's real best friend, but nobody knows that, even Jin.
"Just this kid I know," he says. Behind Masahiko's back Jin is pulling dumb faces, cheeks puffed up and lips twisting and flopping. He looks triumphant when Kame breaks and laughs.
"He looks like a weirdo," Masahiko says. Kame stares over his shoulder at Jin's golden face, his sunny smile and round dark eyes. Kame thinks he looks perfect. Not in a weird way, but if he could look like anybody he thinks he'd like to look like Jin. Jin's face makes everybody happy.
"I guess," Kame says, and kicks at the dirt.

Date: 2008-08-18 01:12 pm (UTC)"THAT WAS AWESOME," Jin says the second Kame walks off the field. He's been pitching and his fingers are stiff and sore, with blisters just starting to bubble at the tips. Jin's cheeks are flushed with pink. He kept clapping while Kame was trying to pitch and it should have been distracting, but it wasn't. It made Kame feel kind of strong and proud and the balls flew from his fingers like bombs. "YOU'RE AWESOME."
"I'm okay," Kame says shyly, mostly because he wants Jin to say he's awesome again.
"I play soccer," Jin says proudly. "I'm the goalie."
He's probably good, Jin is good at everything, except for all the things he's terrible at. He wouldn't play if he wasn't good at it, though. Not being good at things makes Jin angry. He won't let Kame play the games on his phone anymore because Kame beat all his high scores.
Masahiko walks up to them and stares at Jin. Masahiro is kind of socially retarded, even more than Kame himself. Jin stares back at him and they all end up just standing there, looking at each other blankly.
"You-" Jin starts saying and Kame suddenly remembers the time Jin walked up to a senpai and told him his new haircut made him look like his mother and he hurriedly cuts in, "Masahiko, this is Akanishi-kun. Jin opens his mouth again as if he really wants to finish whatever he was about to say, but then he just looks at Kame and says, "Let's go play," and starts to walk away.
"Don't you want to practice?" Masahiko asks. "The field is free for another hour at least, and coach said we could keep some of the equipment."
He should stay, really. Jin might have thought his pitching was awesome, but Kame had been able to feel that the flick of his fingers was about a half second off and he wasn't getting the rotation he really wanted, and he really should work on that -
but Jin's standing a few feet away with his bike, waiting for Kame to join him. He'll make Kame perch on his handlebars and they'll ride back to Jin's place and listen to music and sing old SMAP songs. Maybe he'll sleep over. Jin's mum really likes him.
"I can't today," he says, and rushes over before Jin gets annoyed and makes him walk home.
He feels Masahiko's eyes on his back as he walks away, and he wants to turn around and try to explain, but he can't. He doesn't know what he's doing either.
(i guess there'll be more or a total rewrite where i try to make this not boring and crap.)
