Yamada Taro fic

Blair Hall Apts., on the Feast of St. Stephen

Slowly but surely writing the drabble requests...

Future
Written for silvermuse89

Torii-sensei looked down at her notebook, her hands twisting nervously. "W-well, you've b-been doing very...very well, Mimura-kun. I h-h-hardly have anything t-to say."

He waited, his face impassive.

"D-do you have any p-plans for the future?"

He blinked. "My grandfather expects me to follow in his footsteps, I suppose."

"B-but what do you want to do, Mi-mi-mimura-kun?"

Her stutter was getting on his nerves. He replied politely, "I don't know yet."

She paused and stared off into space, seeming to mumble to herself. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

"May I go now, sensei?"

She jerked back and gave him a furtive, almost guilty look. "Of c-course, Mimura-kun."

At lunch, Yamada was receiving his daily collection of bento boxes with a dazzling smile. Takuya too had to decline (graciously, of course) a few hopeful offers to share a meal. He turned in his seat to watch Yamada exclaim happily over his food--"Can you believe it, Mimura-kun? These onigiri have real umeboshi inside!"--and couldn't help smiling. (At least three girls swooned at the sight.)

"Ehh, what's this? Octopus sausages! Would you like one, Mimura-kun?"

He shook his head. "Thanks, but I'm full."

"I'll have to save the rest of these to bring back home. Say, will you be coming over this afternoon?"

"Not today. Grandfather is returning from Okinawa, and I'm expected to go meet him at the airport."

"Ehh, Okinawa? It must be nice to be able to visit such exotic places!"

"Okinawa is exotic?" He laughed in bemusement.

Yamada grinned sheepishly. "Well, Dad's always abroad, but the rest of us have never traveled further than Kyoto. It costs too much to go on field trips, you see."

"I see." Takuya rested his elbows on Yamada's desk and watched him neatly pack the remaining lunches into a bag. "Yamada-kun?"

"Mmm?"

"What do you want to do in the future? After we graduate, I mean."

"The future, huh?" Yamada paused to think. "Work hard, make money, feed my brothers and sisters, and keep our family smiling." He looked up at Takuya. "What about you?"

He still didn't have an answer, but something in his heart softened at the sight of Yamada's cheerful face.

END

...I don't think I've quite figured out how to write for this series. I wish other people would do it instead. ^_^ Given the popularity of JE nowadays, there's got to be fic out there already, right? I've tried to read Arashi fic in compensation, but I run into the same problem that I do with all RPF...I'm just not all that interested in the lives of celebrities. >_>

Yours &c.

HOMG. Is this that manga about that dirt-poor boy who can hear the sound of a yen dropping from n number of miles away? I used to read this!! Back when I frequented s-c.net and their scanlations.

Tari, you're so awesome. I never would have thought I'd find fic for this. *_____* ILU~ *heartheart*

[troisroyaumes]

YES IT IS! I used to read it too...I don't think Sakura-Crisis ever finished scanslating it though. :( Anyway, don't give me too much credit because I must admit that I would probably never have thought of writing fic for the series if it hadn't been adapted into a live-action drama which is currently airing now in Japan. You can download the subs here on D-addicts, or if you'd prefer to preview, watch the raws here. (It's quite cute and has, haha, eaten my brain.)

Not true!

Tari, you write Yamada Taro fic beautifully. This drabble feels like a missing/to be filmed scene from the drama.

I love the exchange between Takuya and Taro, especially:

"Ehh, Okinawa? It must be nice to be able to visit such exotic places!"

"Okinawa is exotic?" He laughed in bemusement.

You also did a great job capturing Torii-sensei's voice.

Thank you for the lovely drabble. ♥ You should write more for the series! *wants more Yamada Taro fic* XD

[troisroyaumes]

Yay, I'm glad you liked. Taro is so lovable, and Takuya obviously dotes on him. XD I want more Yamada Taro fic too! Is there anyone else writing for the series?
