Mighty Long Fall

Chapter 3: Snowstorm Day 3

Author's note: I wasn't planning on posting this until either tomorrow or Friday. But. I've been basing this storm on a more dramatic version of all the snow storms plaguing my area recently. And Tomo posted a picture of him in the real life version of this snow storm on his instagram. And a photo of the band (minus Ryota?) Plus other people in a restaurant. ONE OK ROCK being in a massive snow storm is currently canon.
But nothing else in this story is remotely canon, they're straight, i own nothing (except tickets to see them tomorrow night. When I will wait outside in a snowstorm to see them. Please pray I don't freeze to death)

There was a loud beeping that woke both them up. Taka woke up, rubbing his head with his hand as he noticed he was lying on Toru, both of them naked. He looked at the table, and saw condoms and lube. Taka tried to remember the night before. He was so drunk. He remembered getting into bed, Toru kissing him, and then the memories of being fucked by Toru came flooding in. He groaned as he looked over at Toru who was also just waking up.
“What the fuck was that loud beeping…” Toru said as he got out of the bed, also remembering the previous night.
He went into the main area and noticed the sound of humming. He couldn't figure out what the beeping was, but did notice it was no longer dead silent. He didn't want to get his hopes up, but when he flicked on a light switch it turned on. They had power. He immediately ran into his bedroom and flicked on the lightswitch, causing Taka to groan.
“What the fuck time is it? Turn the light off, let's just go back to sleep” he complained as he pulled the blankets over his head.
“You're missing something, Taka” Toru said as he flickered the light on and off.
“Wait. The power is back?” Taka said as he burst out of bed. He looked out the window, it was still dark, but at least there were street lights on now. He saw the snow was still on the ground, it didn't look like any had melted, but they had power and that excited Taka, as he went to go plug in his phone.
Taka walked back into Toru's room, still naked. Of course he never had to get out of bed, he had never unplugged his phone from the power outlet.
Taka got back into bed and cuddled Toru. He wasn't sure if it was still necessary for them to sleep together, but, it was still cold in the apartment as the heater began doing its thing.
Toru woke up a few hours later and went to roll over to cuddle with Taka, but he noticed the bed was empty. Maybe Taka had made a run for it? Toru thought as he put on some clothes and went to the main room, and found Taka making rice, coffee and eggs.
“Morning” Toru said as he sat down at the table.
Taka handed him a cup of coffee as he sat at the opposite side of the table.
“The snow is supposed to be mostly melted by tonight, I should be able to go home before tonight, by the way” Taka said as he browsed his phone, getting caught up in the world.
Toru nodded as he drank the coffee.
Taka's phone alarm went off and he served the eggs and rice to both him and Toru.
Both men ate in silence, neither wanting to address the previous night.
Taka finished his food and went to go clean all the dishes from the previous two days.
“Here, I can do that Taka. You made breakfast, go have a shower and I can clean up” Toru said, noticing Taka was still in the clothes Toru gave him when he arrived. “You can grab some clothes from my closet”
Taka nodded as he went to grab some new clothes from Toru's room and headed to the shower. The water was warm and it felt so good.
He was quick, and then dried himself off and went back to the kitchen and found Toru browsing his phone. “Tomoya and Ryota are going to come over for dinner tonight to write songs, by the way” Toru said, not even looking at Taka.
“We should write songs today then. They may be under the impression we actually wrote songs yesterday”, Taka said as he picked up the notebook he was using yesterday.
“I'm gonna go shower, you continue writing that love song” Toru said joking as he went to grab some clothes and take a shower.
Taka went back to staring at his notepad, trying not to think about Toru fucking him last night. He began writing down random lyrics that he thought were absolute shit, but just continued anyway, trying to hum a melody along to it.
Taka hadn't even noticed Toru getting out of the shower, grabbing his guitar and sitting beside him. Toru listened to the melody Taka was trying to hum and began stroking random chords, causing Taka to jump.
“I didn't notice you there…” Taka said as he felt his heart beat out of his chest.
“Did you finish your love song?” Toru asked with a chuckle.
“No, I'm just trying to think of a good melody first” Taka said. He had written the love song, that slowly turned into a breakup song, but eventually came out as a sexy song. But he felt it might be too suggestive to be released in Japan, and decided to just start over on a new page.
He made sure to make many, many pages with random words and phrases between his sex song and the new song he had been trying to write.
Eventually Taka and Toru managed to get that song done when they heard a knock on the door. Ryota and Tomoya were on the other side with takeout.
They all sat around the kitchen table, eating and laughing like nothing had ever happened.
Because Tomoya and Ryota didn't know anything had happened, thought Toru to himself. Him and Taka had never talked about last night, Toru felt beyond guilty for feeling like he forced himself on Taka. He couldn't even remember if he ever asked Taka for consent. Toru hoped Taka wasn't blaming him for some kind of abuse, Taka did seem really irritable today. He thought of the lyrics Taka had written, “time to make amends for what you did, running with the demons in your head” Toru began feeling really bad, thinking Taka had written some kind of song about abuse. 
“Anyway, Toru said you were writing a love song Taka! Let's hear it” Tomoya said, causing Taka to groan.
“It's not a love song” Taka said as he walked over to the area with the guitars and his notepad.
Ryota picked up the notepad, browsing through the pages as Taka and Toru did an acoustic version of mighty long fall.
“It kinda sounds like a love song? I think? Kind of like, some kind of forbidden love, with an older woman or something?” Tomoya said, trying to think of the meaning.
“Are you dating someone Taka?” Ryota asked as he flipped through the notepad Taka had been writing in.
Taka hadn't even noticed Ryota flipping through his notepad. “Give that back” he yelled, launching himself towards Ryota. Ryota threw the notepad and Tomoya caught it. Taka then tried to grab it from Tomoya, but when lunging towards him accidentally landed on Toru, causing everyone to laugh, as he watched Tomoya go through his notebook.
Taka felt awkward and got himself off of Toru, he hadn't felt awkward at all since Ryota and Tomoya were there. But accidentally laying on Toru reminded him of the night they hadn't yet discussed.
“Woah, Ryota, did you see this one song?” Tomoya said, causing Taka to go bright red. He knew which song they were probably talking about.
“bedroom warfare?” Asked Ryota and tomoya nodded. “Did you actually write that, Taka? Or did you hire an erotica novelist to write that for you? Because jesus it is hot” Ryota said, causing Taka to go bright red. That was the love/breakup/sex song he had written earlier and tried to hide.
“I know right, the fangirls would swoon beyond belief at Taka being all ‘it's not a fair fight when you're already naked' with some kinda sexy bedroom voice” Tomoya said, trying to imitate Taka being sexy.
“I never saw that one, hand it over” Toru said as he grabbed the notepad from Tomoya.
Taka wanted to world to swallow him up as he saw Toru reading the words Taka had secretly written about their night last night.
“It's a good song” Toru said as he handed the notepad back. “It's sexy as hell, you could probably change around the second verse and make it suitable for a japanese audience”
Taka could feel himself blush at Toru telling him his song was sexy.
“It wasn't really meant to be a one ok rock song” Taka said, as he realised all his bandmates were now staring at him.
“Are you cheating on us, Mori-chan?” Tomoya asked.
“No, no, that's not what i meant. I just meant. It may be too sexual to be released in the japanese market. I was just jotting down random things. It's barely even a song. it was like a warm up before I started that other song” Taka tried to explain.
“You wrote that song today?” Toru asked, looking over at Taka.
“It had today's date under it in the notepad” Ryota noted.
Now Taka really wished the ground would swallow him up. Toru definitely knew that song was about him.
Taka got up the get a beer, when he remembered they already drank them all last night.
“I'm gonna go to the 711 to buy some beer, anyone have any requests?” Taka asked as he put on his boots and coat.
“I'll go with you” Tomoya piped up.
“Nah it's fine, just tell me what you want” Taka said, hoping he could be alone for a few minutes to get his thoughts together.
“But I don't know what I want, I just want food” tomoya said as he also put his boots and coat on.
“I'd take some wasabi chips” Ryota called out.
“I'd take strawberry pocky” Toru called out as Taka and Tomoya left.
“Who do you think mori-chan wrote that song about?” Ryota wondered to Toru.
“No idea” Toru said as he found himself a vape pen. He began to blow on it, the lack of nicotine over the past few days had been getting to him. He began to feel silly, he read so much into random words of the song him and Taka wrote together, thinking he had assaulted Taka. Little did he know Taka was writing super sexy songs about their night. Or at least, Toru assumed it was about their night. ‘It's not a fair fight when you're already naked’, that had to be about him and Taka already being in their boxers, right? ‘I know in the morning we'll be nothing more than enemies’? Taka was miserable this morning. Maybe Toru was the enemy.
He heard the door open and went to go greet taka and Tomoya. They had a case of beer each, as well as each of them were holding two grocery bags of food.
“I couldn't decide what I wanted” tomoya explained as Toru grabbed the beer cases from them.
They all got drunk, Ryota and Tomoya kept trying to get Taka to confess about his sex song, but Taka was keeping tight lipped.
Toru put out 4 futons so they could all sleep on the floor of his apartment, like a slumber party.
Ryota and Tomoya both fell asleep first as taka and Toru were still sitting in front of the couch under the kotatsu.
“I think they're asleep” Toru said as he looked at his sleeping bandmates.
“It's late. We should just also go to sleep” Taka said as he yawned.
“Or we could…” Toru clicked his tongue.
“We're not doing that again, ever” Taka said firmly.
“Did you not write a sexy song about it? Do we not battle nightly?” Toru said, teasing Taka with his own words.
“That was just random words. It's not a song. And it's definitely not about you” Taka whispered.
“You sure about that, taka? It's not a fair fight when you're already naked? I mean, I know we weren't quite naked. But. ‘It's not a fair fight when we're both in our boxers’ doesn't quite have the same ring to it” Toru said, his face getting closer to Taka's.
“Shut up, we're not going to have sex. Especially not with Ryota and tomoya in the next room” Taka said, still whispering.
“Good point, you moan and scream too much. You'd definitely wake them up” Toru joked.
“Lower your voice, or you're gonna wake them up” Taka said, worrying they could hear the conversation.
“Why do you not want them to know? It didn't actually mean anything. We were both drunk. Neither of us are gay. It was just a fun little one night fling. Unless you wanted to, y'know, battle nightly” Toru said, never moving his face away from Taka's.
Taka rolled his eyes, he would never live down any of those lyrics. He got up to go to where the four futons were and laid down next to Tomoya.
Tomoya and Ryota were both asleep, or at least Taka thought as he fell asleep.
Toru grabbed a cigarette and went outside to go smoke. As soon as he opened the door to leave, he felt someone behind him. Ryota was following him with his own cigarette box.
They both went into the elevator and outside into the chilly night, silent in the elevator ride downstairs.
They walked over to a bench near Toru's house. Toru didn't really want to know how long ryota had been up for, or if he heard anything about his conversation with Taka.
“What did you hear?” Toru said, staring at the ground as he took a drag from his cigarette.
“I don't know what you're talking about…” ryota was trailing off.
“Just tell me what you heard. Don't pussyfoot it” toru said forcefully.
“I woke up when you clicked your tongue” ryota said, staring into space. “Taka said he didn't want to do something. I was trying to figure out what he didn’t want to do”
“And did you figure it out?” Toru asked, still not looking at Ryota.
“Did taka write that song about you?” Ryota asked.
“Probably” Toru said casually.
Ryota looked off into the distance, wondering what his bandmates were actually feeling about each other. He heard Toru say it was just a one time thing, but that other song they had written about a forbidden love. Tomoya assumed it was about an older woman, now Ryota was wondering if it was about each other.
“Anyway, don't ever bring this up again” Toru said as he stomped out his cigarette.
“Have you talked to Taka about it?” Ryota asked as he finished up his cigarette and stomped it near Toru's.
“No. It was a one time thing, I have no feelings for him. It was just a fun thing to do” Toru said as he walked back to the building.
“Does Taka feel the same way?” Ryota asked.
“Probably. He's straight” Toru said as he got into the elevator. He suddenly felt guilty, what if Taka didn't feel the same way.
They got back to his apartment and both went to bed.

A/n:
Yikes. Does Taka feel the same way?
