they're so wonderfully silly. ♥ i love that opening, still. (that aiba is treated so gently is amusing to me still. XD i bet sho wouldn't have been able to slap aiba at all.)

[cimness.livejournal.com]

ahhahah, honestly, how could you? AIBA. it's like kicking a puppy kitten!

[cimness.livejournal.com]

i really want to read some good sho/aiba somewhere. some that is longer than your two paragraphs of crack.

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

you're not the only one. i could try to write some for you? i'd have to ponder it a little bit! (um, let me know if you find any in the mean time.)

[cimness.livejournal.com]

you mean you could add some to your list of things to think about, right? but actually, i'd be happy if you just made it up and told me about it, though not as happy as if you actually wrote it. i feel like i can only halfway get my brain around it, can't exactly conjure it up, like.

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

ahahah! well, i will possibly be online for a little bit on... friday--i don't know how busy i'm going to be--when you are online! and maybe by then i'll have figured out the How Sho And Aiba Are ♥ ♥ ♥ Together And Adopt Like Five Needy Children With Sho's Independent Wealth And Aiba's Never-Give-Up Attitude.

...or something. XD

i may be online on friday. at least, wax has to work part of the day so i'm bound to be at loose ends a little bit. ahhahahahahha. is there opportunity for sho to be dubious? and worried? ♥♥♥♥♥♥

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

dude, there are children and aiba involved. of course sho is going to be dubious and/or worried. (possibly it worked out like in--astolot's fic? where rodney and john make a baby with an ancient device and the relationship goes: baby-marriage-love-sex?)

i mean, i wouldn't be surprised if aiba called up sho one day and was like, "shochan, um. shochan, can you help me out with something this weekend?" and the something turns out to be baby-proofing his apartment because he was the godparent (or whatever) of one of his childhood-friend's baby and the friend (possibly a single mother & a general trouble-maker growing up! whose own family wouldn't acknowledge her!) died in a car accident, or maybe just went to the hospital, but either way the baby is going to end up staying with aiba for some indeterminate amount of time.

so yeah, he's gonna babyproof his apartment (he only just moved in, too, so it should be pretty easy, ne, shochan? :D) and he asked sho over because both his parents are busy with the restaurant and his little brother has schoolwork to do and anyway shochan is probably a better bet to begin with since he's so logical and he'll remember things like to put soft stuff around the edge of the coffee table.

and really, honestly, the baby is still a real baby, only five or six months old, but aiba wants to be on the safe side and still has to buy all the formula and move the baby stuff from his friend's house and visit her in the hospital, where she's connected to a bunch of tubes and not even conscious, but aiba still holds the baby's hand out to wave, and the baby is one of those really easy babies--as long as you have her in your arms. she screams all the time if you put her down.

and sho is like, "aiba, how are you going to do this?"

and aiba puts on his thinking face, and looks only a little worried and mostly determined, "well, since touring season is over, i can request to stay in japan for [the zoo show], and i can afford to hire a babysitter, i'm sure. it'll work out."

sho doesn't offer to help out, because he's very, very busy, what with arashi and his own shows and the news program--but he finds himself over there helping out after work anyway, even though he's so tired. all of arashi do, but sho more than anything.

(honestly, aiba mostly takes this opportunity to make sho cook for him, and stands in the kitchen holding the baby in one of those slings that has obnoxiously bright print, orange spirals and yellow stars on a blue background. aiba talks and talks and the baby mostly just hangs out, but sho finds it strangely relaxing.)

[cimness.livejournal.com]

YES. *__*

omg, now i'm picturing an aiba monologue adorned with baby.

and also, sho frowning with concentration and putting those plastic corners on the cabinet doors and - omfg.

go on.

there are a lot of sirens outside. hm!

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

go on. ahahah, i love you!

hm, let's see. i should probably think about this more when i'm actually awake, but for one, sho is also impressed by aiba with the baby. sho is one of those guys who never really thought about being a dad seriously, but has always assumed that it would happen to him at some point, assumed and desired this, which is why he rarely dates, because he's always looking for a girl who wants to be a mom, and, well, let's face it, it's hard enough for a regular guy to find the right girl, let alone someone as busy as sho is.

but aiba, with a baby--that's halfway there, kind of! when sho drops by (not every night, but it's becoming more often, sho will get cell-emails like: "shochan, can the baby eat salad? i don't think she can but i wanted to check," and so, exhausted but feeling a strange sense of--gladness, because aiba always asks sho first, but also annoyance because seriously, aibachan, just go online or something, didn't megumi-san have any books on bringing up a baby? ["if i know megumi-chan, i bet she was playing it by ear."] and pretty soon, five nights out of seven sho finds himself stopping by to help cook and clean up after the kid so aiba can take a shower without her wailing loud enough to bother the neighbors. incidentally, the baby sleeps in bed with aiba. it was the only way he could get her to sleep for any extended period of time; sho wonders if aiba maybe treats the baby like one of the animals in the zoo.) and aiba is there, holding the baby on his hip or in the sling and then passing her to sho to carry around the apartment, sho thinks this feels a little like being a dad, maybe, and it makes him feel at ease, somehow, even after the stress of his everyday life. knowing that there's this tiny person who, even if it's only for an hour, is counting on him...sho thinks maybe he's got problems but that makes him feel like living up to that wish is easy because he has to do it.

and oh man, i gotta go to bed, but: there's something about watching aiba holding the baby that bleeds into watching aiba not holding the baby, watching aiba just whenever--the way aiba's hands are so much more capable than sho had ever thought they would be, the way aiba will look at things so intently and then absorb their presence, like he knows they're there but is totally able to pay attention to what he needs to.

he doesn't consciously realize he's doing this, watching aiba--but he is, and something inside his belly, some strain is lessened when aiba's there.

(ahahahah, my gmail ads turned to "newborn not sleeping at night - baby sleep patterns")

ohhhhh. lovely! i'm like - i apparently can't really help this time because of not knowing what to do with sho! i picture aiba turning into a baby-parent, you know, so he's exhausted after a twelve hour day and feels accomplished if he managed to do two loads of baby-laundry, because the baby let him, and feels totally vindicated for all of it because when she stops crying she wants to hold hands with him. and sometimes he talks to her and he's positive she really understands! when it's really important because he has to finish changing her because he has to wash his hands to turn off the stove and he doesn't want the miso to completely boil over or sho will have to clean it up and start dinner over when he gets there and he doesn't want to seem totally incompetent, so will she please stop kicking just once and she does! and then of course there are the times when he begs her to please listen and she ignores him but that was probably out of spite. eventually he gets so frazzled he feels completely useless and doesn't know if it is really fair to call sho twice in one evening when he was so tired and he only left an hour ago, but he just can't help it! the baby is making him as selfish as a baby! he thinks. but he calls sho anyway. when sho comes he pretty much falls asleep right away.

Isn't that all men, though? XD

aiba totally turns into a baby parent. when his parents found out--they had known megumi-chan from when aiba was growing up, of course, she was one of the neighborhood kids, but they had never realized that aiba and megumi had stayed friends to the extent (and with the forethought) that megumi would have aiba legally assigned to be the baby's parent if need be--they were so, so angry, because they thought aiba had knocked her up and not said anything. but they help out when they can, and aiba hires a lady downstairs to take care of the baby otherwise, but almost immediately all his time not at work is with the baby at home, so his days off, where he used to go golfing with his friends (a lot of johnny's boys, actually) are now days that he hangs around the house napping with the baby and trying to get chores done, and sometimes he walks to the little park in his neighborhood, and he does try at least once a week to go check on megumi-chan in the hospital so that the baby can see her mom, but of course she's a baby and doesn't really realize that her mom's in a coma, maybe forever, and the doctors will call him if the situation changes.

eventually he gets so frazzled he feels completely useless and doesn't know if it is really fair to call sho twice in one evening when he was so tired and he only left an hour ago, but he just can't help it!

yes, yes, totally. he's started to rely on sho in a way that he doesn't think about at first; it occurs to him only after a few months, when they've pretty much settled into the sho-comes-over-or-at-least-calls-every-night, that aiba asks sho, "shochan, is it really okay for you to be over so often?" and to sho this is completely out of the blue, but of course aiba is the sort of person who always says please and thank you and remembers when he owes people favors so really it's not that shocking that aiba would seemingly-out-of-nowhere decide that he can't ask sho for any more help.

"aibachan, it's fine, it's fine. i like it," sho says, and the baby has been napping on his shoulder for almost a half-hour. (actually, if sho thought about it he would be embarrassed by how much he likes it, but what he's mostly thinking about now is that god, they've gotten old, it's only nine o'clock and all he wants to do is sleep.)

"Oh," aiba says, and then, after they've settled down and the baby's woken up to be fed and changed and is making sleepy-eyed faces at the television screen, still held steady in sho's strong hands, aiba says, "why don't you just spend the night? you're not working tomorrow, right? we could get up--whenever the baby lets us--and i could make pancakes."

and sho thinks about it and can't think of a reason not to even though it seems a little weird, because the last time he slept over at any of the guys' houses it was with more of them involved, and usually at their parents' place--but the idea sounds good, and he's tired, and it would really be too much right now to get on the train back to his place. so he says yes.

(this could be entitled: the most gradual epiphany-love-story ever, like, how long will it take for this baby to get sho and aibachan to confess romantic & sexual love, let alone make out? especially since they both drink a lot less now [in the story].)

when sho comes he pretty much falls asleep right away.

by "he" do you mean aiba or sho? XD

Re: there are a lot of sirens outside. hm!

[cimness.livejournal.com]

asdfölaskdaöfd HEARTS. !!!

and yes, i meant aiba falls asleep right away, when sho arrives. XD geez, you and aes, man.

i am going to answer this again after i do some errands and finish waking up completely; right now i can just think "yesyesYES" and "omg!" and stuff.

Re: there are a lot of sirens outside. hm!

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

i just refound this in my inbox. i still love it. i think sho would totally pop the question once they've moved in.

well, not like, "let's get married," but i think sho would realize that okay, yeah, aiba's his friend, aiba's a guy, but aiba's also aiba, and gorgeous and sweet and weird and somehow, now, being around aiba is really just--yeah. and aiba maybe thinks that too, about sho, except aiba wouldn't really want to act on it to upset the balance, but sho would act on it because he think he can repair any damage that an advance like that might make if it didn't work out. especially since, again, aiba, and aiba's not likely to be terribly shocked or awful about the whole thing. XD

i don't remember what we actually got to in discussing this one, though. i suppose i should continue with the wiki for crack aus! XD

Re: there are a lot of sirens outside. hm!

[cimness.livejournal.com]

i think we stopped at this family christmas thing at the grandparents' house where sho was a little bit drunk and... kissed aiba maybe? or just proposed...

but i like this way too.

Re: there are a lot of sirens outside. hm!

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

maybe he had to be drunk (just a little bit!) to give himself the extra oomph. now i vaguely remember that; mostly i remember we were having trouble actually getting them into bed together. but i think they'll do all right with it now. :D

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

although at the moment i have no recollection as to what my two paragraphs of crack could be. when did i write aiba/sho?

[cimness.livejournal.com]

ahahhahahahha. i'd forgotten too but when i mentioned it to aes, she was all ":O but elfie totally wrote some!" yeah, she's talking about - remember that badfic where sho was all "omg, aiba is saying my name when he comes" and then you wrote like two paragraphs where sho's all angsty and is telling aiba to say other people's names? (ahahhahahaahah.)

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

ahhahaha oh THAT one. no, i think i would much rather have super-cute inexplicable sho/aiba. hm, little bruises wrote some, actually.

although, it's only about, like, three lines, so it doesn't reeeeally count?

ahhahaha. no, yeah, i think that is also too short to count. nice though. ♥
