Oretachi no Yume (Our Dream)

Part 3

"Ohayou.." Hikaru whispers softly from under thick blanket that covers his body. In front of him, his long-time best friend and partner in crime, Yabu Kota.

"Ohayou.." Yabu slowly opens his sleepy eyes, suddenly taken by surprise as he gets up abruptly from his sleep.

"What are you doing here??!!" He screams at Hikaru who is pretending like everything is fine. Just like his usual self, ever.

"Well, you were drunk so badly last night. I don't want to hear you hugging random people on the street.. Therefore, I took you home." Hikaru explain with smug on his face.

"Huh? Well.... Alright. Thank you Hika. But, why are you sleeping on the same bed as me? What... what the hell is this oh God." Yabu gets up from the bed and looks at Hikaru in annoyance.

"Ha ha..... Well I only have one bed. Besides, it's MY bed, isn't it?" Hikaru follow suits to face Yabu who is standing near the window now, grins written all over his face and he pins Yabu against the wall teasingly.

"Stop it Hika." Yabu tries to stop Hika from coming even closer to his face and attempts to escape just in time.

"In that case you can just drop me off at my house. Anyway... Thanks and I'm sorry for the trouble it costs you." Yabu calls out as soon as he escapes Hikaru's kabedon and makes his way to the bathroom.

"You're acting silly. How long have we been friends?? Geez.. Consider this a sleepover. And besides... nothing happened last night. Ha ha ha..!!" Hikaru continues teasing and following Yabu to the bathroom. He stands right to Yabu in front of the bathroom mirror and grabs his toothbrush. They brush their teeth together while every now and then, Hikaru will poke Yabu's arm in attempts to spills his water.

"Anyway, last night was fun." Said Yabu after they are both out from the bathroom.

"Right, it finally happened after a long time. I will crave that moment in my heart. Yama-chan and Yuto have been closer than ever. I love seeing them like that." Hikaru trails away, putting his work clothes on and exchanges glance at Yabu.

"Ah, me too. Those two kids are our assets in JUMP. Everyone is an important asset to JUMP and I hope we can stay this way for many years to come. " Yabu speaks firmly, and his best friend nudges him on the arms again while nodding in agreement.

They both enjoy quick breakfast in Hikaru's living room and every now and then, Hikaru looks at Yabu in wonder about what is his best friend could be thinking right now. Deep inside he is really proud of Yabu. Yabu is like an essential leader figure for Hey! Say! JUMP who always does his best to keep everyone in his guidance and acts an older brother for each member. Soon enough they make their way to work while talking endlessly along the way.

"Wow, aren't those Hika-chan's shirt and trousers you're wearing, Yabu-kun?" Keito peeps from behind his magazine to look at Yabu in fake surprise.

"You actually notice people's outfit a lot, Keito. Not just mine apparently?" Daiki interrupts him and laughs at him afterwards.

"But that's true though. I can smell YabuHika in the air. Ah..what a nice fragrance..." Daiki continues to tease both Yabu and Hikaru. Hikaru looks pleased meanwhile Yabu looks like he is going to swallow the trio in whole.

"Well, this time Hikaru saves me. Thank you Hika." Yabu tries to regain his charisma and looks at his own reflection in the mirror.

"Oh oh... I see. So something did happen? Amazing." Keito butts in one more time before being slapped playfully by Yabu. He backs away and slowly leaving them all, probably going to tell everyone what's happened.

A while later, everyone really does come cheering on YabuHika for their lovey dovey moment last night. Well, everyone has been cheering on the pair since like forever because who will not? Among everyone, Yabu and Hikaru is that one couple of which everyone adores and respects for their continuous supports towards each other and for the group in general.

Their laughter eventually stops when their manager tells them it's time to change into their outfits and make up time for their activity that day. After a few hours on the ride, they've finally arrived at the filming location for the other song in their upcoming single.

"Wow!!!!!!!!!!! Yooohoooo!!!!" Yuto immediately lets out a deafening scream that leaves everyone in wonder. He can be this loud even for such early morning. Yamada quickly chases after Yuto who is obviously far away now, that's what you can expect from his long legs anyway.

They've arrived at a place where they will film another music video for Funky Time. It is an outdoor location with a stunning surrounding and trees all around. It's quite rare for Hey! Say! JUMP to have an outdoor filming, and this time reminds them of when they filmed Kira Kira Hikare back in 2015. Literally the perfect spot for Yuto. He roams around in happiness, slowly joined by the rest of the members. Yabu looks at them with pride thumping in his chest. It almost feels like he's watching his children, all messing around in glee.

They spend long hours in the location, riding on the double deck bus, playing and messing with different children toys, teasing each other and checking out nearly every corner of the large place. Daiki is so excited when he spots a remote-controlled helicopter and plays with it while Chinen follows him to record a video. Keito as always, has always been a soft target for bullying, and this filming is no exception. Everyone loves to bully him because he can't get mad whatsoever. As a matter of fact, they bully Keito out of love, and that makes Keito feel welcomed and loved instead. On the other side, Yamada has so much fun skating. It's been quite a long time since the last time he skated. He goes here and there skating in joy, while the others are playing with different children toys.

There are too many fun moments to count, and by the end of the day, they are looking all worn out but satisfied with their work that day. They're waving in good bye, making each their way to a place they call home.

"Hello.." Keito reaches for his phone in his pocket and pick up for the call he receives.

"Oh.. Alright. I'm coming now." He hangs up a while later and rushes his way to the promised location.

The spring wind is blowing his face gently, leaving trace of softness. He wonders what is going to come next, but he must do what he believes is the best thing to do. He looks up at the starless sky above him and thankful for another day he has just had with the guys. The eight best friends he has found along the way, he promises to himself that he will never disappoint or leave them, no matter what.
