It was the sound of someone playing the guitar that stirred her.

When Kobayashi Ryoko opened her eyes, she actually felt quite a bit disoriented. Not that she didn’t know where she was of course, or that it’s her first time waking up to that environment because it isn’t. What made her disoriented was the fact that even before she opened her eyes, she had already felt that she was alone in the bed.

She wasn’t alone when she got there.

But she knew, even before she pushed herself to a sitting position as she clutched onto the thin blanket to her bare chest, where he was going be, or at least what he’s doing. All she had to do was follow the sound of the guitar playing.

Not even bothering to put on the clothes that had been discarded earlier and covered only with that thin blanket, Ryoko made her way out of the bedroom. She didn’t have to walk far though because the moment she reached the door, she already caught sight of where he is.

Ueda Tatsuya. Ueda Tatsuya and his guitar.

The sight of him playing had always mesmerized her, not to mention that he currently doesn’t have his shirt on. She couldn’t help but smile.

“Hey,” she started lightly as she made her way to him.

Ueda looked up immediately before he smiled, extending his hand to pull her hand towards his lips and kiss her lightly there. “Hey, did I wake you?”

“No,” Ryoko smiled before she chuckled. “Not your playing at least. I woke up because I felt you weren’t there,” she said.

Ueda smiled, tugging her arm, making her sit next to him by the sofa, Ryoko obliged.

“What are you playing?” she asked as she sat down.

“I’m not yet sure,” Ueda admitted with a chuckle. “Kame-kun came up with quite a good set of lyrics and he asked me if I can come up with the music for it. We’re thinking we could add it on the next album as a special.”

“Hmmm…” Ryoko murmured. “Can I see?”

“It is a secret, you know,” Ueda turned to her with narrowed eyes before he ended up chuckling. “But I think you know that, and I don’t think Kame-kun wouldn’t mind.”

Ryoko smiled sweetly as Ueda handed her that piece of paper. Looking over the paper, Ryoko couldn’t help but start feeling giddy.

“This is actually very sweet,” she said, turning to Ueda. “Looks to me like Kamenashi-san is really inspired.”

“I’d say he is,” Ueda chucked. “Meisa-san has made a great effect on him. He is a lot more cheerful now as compared to how he was before.”

“Good for him,” Ryoko smiled. “What have you got so far?”

“Not very far unfortunately,” Ueda smiled sheepishly as Ryoko handed him back the paper.

“Oh,” Ryoko doubled back. “Why is that? You’re not as inspired as your group mate is?” she asked in quite a testy tone as she pushed herself to her feet and turned her back to him.

Before she could move far though, Ueda had grabbed onto her hand and tugged at it, making her turn around to face him again, just that this time she didn’t have that sweet smile on her face. In its place was a frown, or an indignant pout, or a mix of both.

“Are you jealous or something?” he asked her amusedly.

“Why would I be jealous?” she asked, one of her eyebrows slightly raised. “Why should I be jealous to find out that I can’t make my boyfriend as inspired as his group mate’s girl friend is making his group mate? Of course not! I am not jealous. I’m hurt, and annoyed,” she said in a rather long diatribe.

But while the pout on Ryoko’s face because slightly more pronounced as the seconds ticked and her words flowed by, Ueda’s smile only grew.

Putting his guitar safely to his side, Ueda stood up to full length and faced Ryoko, leaving almost no space between them.

“Who said I’m not inspired?” he asked, almost whispered as his lips are only mere centimeters away from hers. He could feel her gasp the same way he could almost feel the increased beating of her heart, the same way his own started to race. “I am totally inspired. I’m just a bit distracted. No, not just a bit. I’m very distracted. I can’t focus completely on making the music for Kame-kun’s lyrics when my mind keeps floating back to you.”

The moment he finished saying that, he closed the remaining distance between his lips and hers and claimed her lips. And it didn’t take long for Ryoko to kiss him back.

She tasted sweet, she always does, and he simply loved the way she tasted. And he simply couldn’t have enough of her. With his arm going around her waist, he pulled her even more closer to him, allowing him kiss her better, deeper. Ryoko’s hands hadn’t been idle either. From lying limply at her side, she raised it over his shoulder where she now played with the muscles on his back. And Ueda loved the sensation it brought him.

Before he could do more than pull her closer and kiss her deeper though, Ryoko’s hands moved to his shoulders to push him away, making him stop. He almost didn’t oblige, knowing full well that he is stronger than the woman, but he still did, not without complaint though. He actually groaned.

It was Ryoko’s turn to smile cheekily though as she said in a slightly singsong tone “Now, now… If you don’t stop what you’re doing, you’re never going to finish the music for your song.”

Ueda looked at her through narrowed eyes for a while, gauging his options, as she continued to smile. And then Ueda sighed.

“I guess you’re right.”

“I know I am,” Ryoko grinned triumphantly.

Ueda looked at her through narrowed eyes again before he chuckled and shook his head lightly. Taking his seat again, and pulling her to seat next to him, he took his guitar again.

“You’re staying here with me though,” he told her as he did.

“Why?” Ryoko asked.

Ueda, who was about to start playing, stopped momentarily and turned towards her before he smiled. “I’m a lot more inspired this way.”

Ryoko could only beam.
-----THE END-----


ooookay! NOT my first time writing Kobayashi Ryoko but it is my first time writing Ueda Tatsuya...
to be honest, Ueda wouldn't be in the list of my favorite Johnnies but he wouldn't be in my list of the ones i don't like either...
let's just say that he's somewhere in between...
but curiously, it felt nice having to write them...

thanks [livejournal.com profile] pautami for the request... hope you like it... :) (and sorry, i forgot to sign up as a writer for the auction... *bops her head* i would have loved to join....)

i have to admit that you are right...
this story being this short helped a lot to mask certain things i lacked about the characterizations... both for Ueda and Kobayashi Ryoko...
