Up where we belong 15/18 (JunBa, Sakumiya)

Title: Up where we belong
Pairing: For the beginning Arashi friendhip, later on: JunBa, Sakumiya, Ohno/??
Rating: up to R
Warning: None
Summary: To grow up in an orphanage can be really depressing. You miss your family, or you wonder about your family. Why are you here? Where is your mother? Your father? Everything starts getting easier when you have friends who are your family - like in Masaki's, Sho's, Kazu's and Satoshi's case. And when a baby arrives in the orphanage, Masaki has big-brother-like feelings from the very first beginning.

Masaki laughed out loud when he saw Jun falling into the water for the hundredth time this day. Masaki had found a nice place under a tree where he had enough shadow to prevent himself from getting sunburnt.

“That’s really amusing and I am really astonished that Ryo stays so calm with Jun failing at surfing so badly,” Kazu chuckled. He sat next to Masaki and handed him a bottle of water.

Masaki looked at his twin. Sometimes he wondered if it really could be that they were twins. They were so different, and they didn’t look same in neither way. But maybe that was the reason they got along so well. Masaki could remember the few days were Kazu had been in hospital because he had had broken his leg. Masaki was feeling off for almost the whole time. Something was missing around him. Of course he was still a child back then, and he was used to Kazu around him, but Masaki liked the thought that it was also matter of them being twins. “Are you okay, Kazu?” Masaki wanted to know.

“Mhm,” Kazu said, sipping on his water. “No, actually not.”

Masaki turned to the other. “Is it about Ryo?”

Kazu nodded. “You know, I didn’t want anyone to know about us, except you.” He sighed. “And now? Everyone thinks that we are a couple. That sucks.”

Masaki nodded. “And what does Ryo think?”

Kazu lay back on the sand and stared at the sunny sky. “He laughed about it and told me that everything is okay. He doesn’t have a problem with this small lie.”

Masaki didn’t understand his brother’s thoughts. For him everything sounded alright, but Kazu was bothered by something. “But if the two of you feel same, and you know what your relationship is about, it alright, isn’t it?”

Kazu turned to the side. He rubbed some sand between his fingers and let it fall back on the ground. The bratty and impish attitude was completely gone and there was something vulnerable and sad in Kazu’s eyes. What the hell was going on with him, but suddenly Masaki sat upright. “Oh, I know what happened. You have someone else in your mind, right? Someone you like and you want to be with, but it doesn’t work out and now you take heart with meeting Ryo.”

Kazu grunted. “God, sometimes you are really annoying. Why do you know this?”

Masaki smiled, even though he felt bad for his brother. His situation must have been hard for him. “I was right?”

Kazu sighed. He was really bad with holding back the truth. His cheeks were flushed and he bit his lips nervously. He wanted to say something, when Sho and Satoshi approached them from behind.

“I really don’t want to be out there,” Satoshi said. He sat next to Masaki and stared at Jun out there on his board.

“No, me neither,” Masaki chuckled. He looked at Kazu from the corner of his eyes. He was still blushing, and Masaki knew that this wasn’t the end of their talk, he’d ask his brother again this evening.

~~~

Sho felt something in him clenching when Ryo approached them under their tree, placing a kiss on Kazu’s cheek. The feeling Sho had pushed aside for more than two years now grew, and he didn’t like it. It was not right to fall for Kazu, they were like brothers after all.

So probably it was the best thing that Kazu had found someone to share his life with and maybe Sho should go on with his own life.

“That was amazing,” Jun laughed. “Have you seen me?” He asked his friends.

“Sure, we watched everything,” Masaki grinned. “And we saw every fall in the blue ocean,” he giggled.

“Oh come on, I wasn’t that bad. It was my first time on the boat after all,” Jun whined. He really looked sad about Masaki’s joke.

“No, no,” Masaki said. “You were really good. I don’t want to imagine me on that thing out there.”

“Hey,” Masaki said when they sat together under the big tree, drinking a cold coconut milk. “Jun wanted to talk with us about something.” He smiled encouragingly at Jun.

Jun’s cheeks were flushed and he definitely didn’t want to talk with everyone listening to him. “I … I got the chance to dance in a private dance school, but the problem is that I don’t have the money to pay for it. I wanted to ask you for help.” He bowed.

“I think I can give you some money for the dance school,” Kazu smiled. He shrugged when everyone stared at him. “What?”

“You out of us all you say at first that you pay something? You? Who don’t even have enough money for lunch because you want to save every yen you earn?” Satoshi laughed.

“Hey, this here is about family and education, it’s okay to spend money on necessary things,” Kazu explained with a grin.

“Where is my brother, and what have you done with him?” Masaki asked.

“Of course we’ll help you,” Sho said.

Masaki could see Jun’s face turning into a bright smile. “Thank you so much.”

“But we want to see you in your auditions and each and every of your performances,” Masaki said. He knew that Jun had no problem with audience and he’d happily agree to everything they wanted from him.

“Sure. I have two auditions next week, please come to see me dance.” Masaki loved to see Jun that happy.

~~~

The lights went out and Sho saw a white light on the stage appearing. He had never seen Jun so nervous before, but when he entered the stage it was like he was in his own world and nothing and no one could interrupt him. He had seen Jun dancing in the orphanage and in school performances, but to see him in this rather big theatre was amazing.

“It was definitely right to give him the money for the dance school,” Masaki whispered next to Sho. He smiled. “He is amazing, isn’t he?”

Masaki was right, Jun had talent and Sho was sure that he had hardly anyone seen moving like Jun did. Sho had never been into dancing and he already feared that it would become boring, but it was more opposite. Sho could have sat there for another hour, watching Jun dancing.

They waited outside till Jun approached them after the show. “Did you like it?” He asked happily.

“It was amazing, really. Not even Kazu fell asleep,” Masaki giggled.

“Hey, I don’t fall asleep in theatre,” Kazu complained.

“Yes, because you never ever go to theatre.” Masaki had a sheepish grin around his lips, but he was right, Kazu never ever attended to cultural things, except video game conventions, and that wasn’t traditional culture at all.

“But it really was amazing, Jun. You are really talented. We spend our money in the right thing,” Kazu said.

“Thank you.” Jun bowed.

“How about dinner?” Sho asked. “On my treat.”

“Perfect.” Kazu rubbed his belly. “I am already starving.” He looked at Sho.

~~~

They sat together in the small restaurant near the theatre. Jun seemed so overall glad that everyone came to see him.

Sho looked at Satoshi, who ordered the third beer after just sitting together for one hour. He definitely needed to take a closer look at Satoshi during the next months. There was definitely something off and Sho was sure that Satoshi’s new friends were the reason for that.

“And there’ll be four or five more performances this year,” Jun said.

“The same performance?” Kazu asked, and Sho could hear in Kazu’s voice that he wished that it would be the same performance, because otherwise it would mean that they had to visit the theatre more often.

“No, different ones, and yes, you are forced to come to each and every one,” Jun chuckled. He definitely knew how to tease Kazu.

“Each one?” Kazu breathed out. “I mean you are a wonderful dancer, but three hours …”

Jun laughed out loud. He was really getting more adult-like. He was more mature and his interests had changed during the last months. Jun got more ambitious when it came to his dreams. He still had time to think about his future, but he had told Sho some time ago that he wished to apply for university. He wanted to become a dancer, and he wanted to study it, but he was well aware that the way to become a professional dancer was a long way.

Sho looked around. They were all so different, but also similar. Sho had become a lawyer, Satoshi was the artist, Masaki had his kindergarten and Kazu his video games, and Jun would become a dancer. It was perfect. They were a perfect mixture of different characters with different interests.

Sho’s eyes rested on Kazu. He wondered how Kazu and Ryo’s relationship would go on, but he shook his head almost immediately. No, he wasn’t allowed to think about it. He wasn’t allowed to interfere into this, he was just curious how their future would go on and where they dreams would lead them too.

Sho is still being stubbornly stupid.
Jun sounds like he is ready to fly!
Only three chapters left? I am not ready to let them go. 😢

Sho is jealous! Definitely! And I'm so happy that Jun is also fulfilling his dream like the others.

Time jump! I'm so excited what's next! Thanks for this! Sorry for the erratic commenting though.

HAHA, Nino's shock at the end - like, he has to go to each performance of Jun? :-)
Seems like Satoshi has a problem though... I'm starting to feel sorry for Sho. It seems like he is really responsible and tries to watch out for his friends... I hope he can help Satoshi, and also accept his feelings for Nino and maybe act on them. But I can see why he wants to move on -he doesn't know Nino and Ryo are just faking their relationship, and he just wants Nino to be happy.

Thanks so much for this update!! <3
