"Ryo and Ueda sitting in a tree..."

"SHUT UP!" Both of them shouted.

Ever since Yasu started teasing, the other juniors (even the sempais) started to do the same. They discovered that those two are speechless when it comes to do that. The two won't even hurt anyone, EVEN RYO; they would just deny it, then pout. Each one of the teasers had different versions of their own, like "Ryo and Ueda lying on the bed, F-U-C-K-I-N-G" for the perverts, and the one mentioned above for the innocent ones. They felt so happy (and evil) teasing them, especially when they do not get hurt at the end.

It has been one week after that incident. One week of less fighting, one week of easier control of the two, and one week of nonstop teasing. It was pure fun (except for the two of course).

Another day of rehearsals has come. Everyone was early, a few trying to remember the things that was taught and said to them during the last time. The others were warming up, some were chatting with their co-members, and some were fooling around, like Pi and Jin were playing pranks on the juniors (again). It was another usual day.

And of course, our usual Ueda was sitting in front of the mirror, and he seemed preoccupied with something. He massaged his temple with a thumb, and the rest of his hand covering his face.

Nishikido... where are you... He suddenly sat up straight, cannot seem to believe that he just thought about that. What the hell am I thinking? Get a grip Ueda!

"Oooi~ Ueda-sempai!" It was Hikaru's voice, and Ueda looked at him at the mirror, "Your boyfriend is here~!" And then he saw Nishikido, who swaggered his way towards Pi and Jin while trying to shove off all the swoons he was receiving.

Tatsuya shifted his eyes on Hikaru again and said, "For the thousandth time, I do NOT like Nishikido." He could hear Jin giggling in the corner with YamaPi, and without looking at him, he said, "Jin, stop making up stuff about me. Don't include me in your childish musings." He got another giggle for a reply.

He just sighed, and went back to massaging his temples. Subconsciously, he shifted his eyes up and took a glance from Nishikido from the mirror, who was unexpectedly looking back at him. He immediately looked down on the floor, his cheeks turning a bit red. Oh my God, he's looking at me. Is there something on my face? Is my hair messy? Is my- He trail of thoughts stopped when he felt someone's presence behind him.

"Oi fishlips." He looked up, and he could see Nishikido's reflection. "Yes?" He replied.

Nishikido raised an eyebrow. "Just what the hell are you doing here alone? It's unhealthy you know. Talking to fairies. And I'm gonna leave you now because I see that idiot Hikaru and I do NOT want to get teased. AGAIN. Thanks to you." He said in a tone that you can't distinguish between concern and mockery.

"What?!" Ueda answered, then stood up and faced Ryo. "Are you saying-"

"RYO-CHAAAN~!"

Everyone stared at him, who was running towards Ryo and glomped him, squeezing the life out of the NEWS member.

"U-Uchi?" Ryo said, while trying to breathe. He removed the arms around him, and delightedly turned around to face his friend. "What are you doing here?"

"Visiting you of course! Look! Notti's here with me! Not-- eh? Where'd he go? Oh there he is. He's with Shige and Kei-chan." Uchi replied, pointing at where Kusano was. He winked at Ryo, sticking his tounge out playfully.

They started talking and chatting about each others' current lives, not seeming to care about Ueda's presence. He quietly sat down, and massaged his temples again; but this time, in annoyance.

Choreographer-san once again saved his life, and they had to start the rehearsals. Meaning, Uchi has to go. HAH. Get out of my life, Uchi. Go away. NOW! Wait... What am I thinking?! SNAP OUT IF IT.

He was annoyed during the whole rehearsal, including the breaks. His brows were furrowed while dancing, and he was glaring at everyone who looked at him. His movements were screaming "I'm angry Don't talk to me", too, which made him receive comments like "Relax Ueda-kun" from the choreographer. He was so annoyed that he wanted to murder Uchi and throw his body at the nearby trash bin. What? Why am I annoyed anyway?!

After the rehearsals, Maru invited him out for dinner at the new place he discovered. He had nothing to do, so he accepted.

The walk there was awfully quiet. Maru wanted to start a conversation, but whenever he'd say something, Ueda would just nod his head or not react at all.

Finally, they reached their destination. They sat down, ordered, and was now waiting for their food.

While waiting, Maru examined Ueda. His face was somewhat expressionless, unlike the one he had a while ago. He looked a little confused, too. He could tell by the way he sighed just now. He was massaging his temples again, and his eyebrows met every now and then.

Not at all comfortable at this, he asked him, "What's bothering you, Ueda? You've been acting weird since this morning."

Ueda looked at him. "Nothing. I'm fine."

"No, you're not fine."

"I am."

Maru sighed, not convinced at all. "Oooh... ok." He pondered for a while, then smirked when he finally thought of something witty.

"Then could you explain to me why you got pissed off when Uchi came?"

"..."

Got him. "Were you jealous?"

With that, Ueda slammed his palms on the table. "Jealous? Who says I'm jealous? No, I'm not jealous. I don't even like Nishikido. Why should I be jealous? It's not like I like him, you know. Nope, I'm not jealous." He then leaned back on his seat, arms crossed upon his chest. "And they didn't have to oggle each other in front of ME. Can you believe that? It seemed like I wasn't there at all! And Nishikido was talking to ME. He can't just glomp him like that while he's talking to ME. That's just not right."

Maru grinned, then leaned forward. "You are."

"I said I'm not!" Ueda yelled at him, earning glances from other patrons. He bowed to them in apology.

"If you weren't, then you wouldn't be reacting like this." The N of KAT-TUN replied, raising an eyebrow at him. He propped himself on an elbow, and rested his chin on his hand. "I think you're starting to fall for him, ne..."

"NO." He slammed a hand on the table again, only this time it was softer. "OVER MY DEAD BODY."

I'm not falling for him... am I?

The ending was lame. I'm so sorry. o.o;;
