new arashi rps: "the virtue of repetition" (just like verse)

This is the second ficlet I promised aeslis back last year. Sorry, bb. Love you! The order of fic in the Just Like Verse is: 1) Just Like All Those Girls; 2) Happy Birthday to Me; 3) Like Flying; 4) Just One of the Boys; 5) The Virtue of Repetition. ...



There! Now that I'm sure I have aeslis's attention,


The Virtue of Repetition
Arashi RPS, Matsujun/Aiba
≈4300 words
In which Aiba pays a visit to Sho's house at a busy time. (This is set shortly after the events of "Just One of the Boys" but about ten years after the events of "Like Flying".)

"Are you going to bed now?" says Jun. He doesn't make it sound like a question. Aiba would think he's being told to get out except that there is nothing cool or casual, nothing dismissive, in Jun's face and body.

The Virtue of Repetition

sneakers of the day & new additions to my closet

Two pairs of pink and white Puma running shoes, the "Hahmer", a traditional cushioned-sole aerobic shoe and the "Replicat", a lightweight foot-hugging sprinter (the latter is my favoured style, but the first style has its bonuses - they're very comfortable).

In other shoe news, I just ordered these from the UK for kitten_head's wedding:



I don't like 3+" heels, but the price was right (only £18, under 25 euros counting shipping) and the styling is undeniably gorgeous and wonderfully retro. With that price and those looks, even if I end up having to find another pair for the wedding they'll still've been worth it. For reference, this is the currently projected attendants' dress, but we may settle on something else black and retro.
