Ultraviolet

Chapter 7

A/N:
I know my timeline sucks and I skipped a whole month. I moved up my timeline and didn't bother adding in the missing month. So. Oops. :)

On the day before Taka's birthday, Toru went to a cake shop to get a cake with strawberries, then decided to go to a grocery store for more strawberries.

He showed up at Taka's house and found Taka in his apartment, shocked to see Toru.
“Were we not going to celebrate your birthday a day early?” Toru asked as he noticed Taka was still in his boxers.
“Shit. Right. I forgot. It's like a surprise surprise party” Taka laughed as he saw looked at the cake and strawberries Toru brought.
“Ah. Happy surprise early birthday then” Toru joked as he went to kiss Taka before putting the cake and strawberries in the fridge.
“I'm gonna go get ready for the day. I'll be back” Taka said as he got up.
“You don't have to get dressed on my behalf” Toru joked as he cornered Taka against the fridge.
“I have to shower. You could join me” Taka suggested, kissing Toru.
Taka and Toru went to go shower together then went to go lay down on the couch and watch netflix.
“So, what are we doing for dinner?” Taka asked as he looked up at Toru.
“I thought you didn't want dinner. Just cake and strawberries” Toru responded as he went up to get the cake and strawberries.
They ate the cake together. Toru tried to eat a few strawberries, but Taka kept stealing them away.
Taka finished all his strawberries then looked over at Toru who appeared to be falling asleep.
“Hey, we still have half an hour until midnight” Taka said as he hit Toru's shoulder.
“30 minutes? Seems like a good amount of time for sex” Toru said as he grabbed Taka's hand to lead him to the bedroom.

Toru collapsed on top of Taka and then looked at the time, “Happy birthday Taka”.
“Thanks” Taka said through pants as Toru got up to throw out the condom and then laid back in bed and fell asleep.

The next day Toru and Taka got up early. The other members were going to show up at 10 for brunch.
Toru decided this was a good opportunity for morning sex before the other members got there.
Afterwards they got ready just in time for Tomoya to get there excessively early.
“What are you doing here so early?” Taka asked as he looked at his phone and saw it was only 9:10.
“Why's Toru here so early?” Tomo asked as he noticed Toru already sitting on the couch.
“I got the time wrong. I thought we were meeting at 9” Toru responded as Tomo sat down next to him.
“That's my excuse too” Tomoya said as he began going through the magazines Taka had on the coffee table.
Taka sighed as he sat down on the couch on the other side of Toru and played with his phone until Ryota got there.

They went to go get giant fluffy pancakes before going to see the cherry blossoms.
“Why wasn't I born just a couple of weeks earlier when they're actually in bloom” Taka asked out loud as he realised the bloom was ended.
“I don't know, complain to your parents” Ryota laughed as he poured another drink for them.
Taka drank it in one go and then poured more for everyone else.
“This is a good thing, if you were born a few weeks earlier, this park would be packed” Tomoya noted.
“Yea, and the paparazzi would take pictures of him drunk” Ryota laughed.
“I don't want to hear about paparazzi for the rest of my life” Taka said as he covered his eyes with his arms.
“Why? Because they keep catching you on dates?” Ryota laughed as Taka groaned.
“when are you going to tell us what happened with Mai?” Tomoya asked, realising neither of them had told him anything.
“I'll write a letter to my lawyer to leave it to you three in my will” Taka responded with a laugh.
“Was it really that bad? I've only met with her a few times but she seemed nice enough” Tomoya responded.
“She's nice enough, I'm not” Taka responded as he laid down on the blanket and closed his eyes. “That was a big earthquake…” Taka remarked as he felt the earth shake and spin.
The other members just gave each other confused looks, realising no one else felt an earthquake.
“I think you're drunk” Tomoya laughed as he realised what was happening.
“No I'm not” Taka responded as he tried to get up but was suddenly too weak.
“I should probably just take him home…” Toru said as he was afraid Taka would do something stupid in public, or accidentally admit they were dating.
“No we're going out partying” Taka said as he felt Toru carry him bridal style.
“It's 7pm and you're drunk Taka” Toru responded as they all got up to get cabs home.
“Let me go, everyone's gonna think we're dating” Taka said through slurs as he felt Toru put him on the ground, suddenly aware he hit a nerve. He tried to walk a few steps and then stumbled into Ryota who was walking in front of him.
“I'm sorry pick me up again” Taka said as he stumbled between Ryota and Toru who were now propping him up on both sides.
“We're almost at the cab Taka. Just continue walking” Toru said as they arrived at the cab and put him in before getting in on the other side.
Toru promised to call them when he got Taka home safely and then left them for the night.

“You know, most people can handle their alcohol by the time they hit 30” Toru said as he placed Taka on the bed in the drunk position then sat beside him.
“I'm 30” Taka repeated
“Yes, it's your 30th birthday” Toru responded, wondering why Taka would repeat that part.
“I'm 30” Taka kept repeating.
“Yes, I know. Why do you keep saying that?” Toru asked as he laid down beside Taka.
“I'm halfway to death” Taka responded.
Toru sighed, “you're not even middle aged. You probably have another 60 years in you”
“I'm not married” Taka said.
Toru looked at Taka. They had been barely dating a month, why would Taka bring up marriage.
“I have no kids” Taka continued as Toru just stared, unsure what to say.
“I thought my parents were disappointed when I got kicked out of NEWS and dropped out of school. But at least, y'know, they probably assumed I was going to give them grandkids” Taka said.
“Your parents probably thanked their lucky stars they weren't grandparents from that” Toru said with a laugh as he cuddled next to Taka. “Besides, you're a man, there's no biological clock to stop you having kids at 60 if you wanted”
“Do you want kids?” Taka asked, looking at Toru.
“Probably, yea” Toru responded.
“I can't give you kids though” Taka said sadly.
Toru sighed, “you're drunk and thinking too much. There are other options, we can talk about that further down the road though”
Taka smiled at Toru and then fell asleep.
