Summary : Leader's therapy


“She sells the sea shell at the sea shore. She sells the sea shell at the sea shore. She sells the sea shell at the sea shore. She shell the she shell ahhhhhh!” he grunted for the nth time. It has been more than an hour since he starts practising the tongue twister, he is definitely tired. He throw the papers full with his handwriting on the tea table and lie on the couch of Arashi’s green room. Nobody is there now. The rest have their own individual work and there will be a few more hours before they have work together. Being the only one who is free now, instead of sleeping, he was practising for his Kouhaku gig as Nino says.

“Why can’t I say that? Everybody else have no problem with tongue twister..” he complaints, more to himself.

“I cannot too.” He jumped a bit at the sudden disturbance but he don’t have to look up to know whose voice that is. It belongs to Ohno Satoshi, his one and only leader.

“You can when you want to. I saw you said it before.” He said, pouting. The owner of the voice smirk before sitting on the edge of the couch he was lying on.

“You try too hard. Relax a bit.” The voice’s owner slowly slides his butt on the couch, making him automatically raise his head to allow the other to sit and place his head on the other’s lap. He felt his fingers running through his hair.

“But I cannot fail this.” He said quietly, almost a whisper. Honestly he was thankful that he was chosen to MC such event but he cannot help being a bit nervous about the whole thing. Yes, he did excellent job in variety show but the event is not the same. Plus, he want to bring good image to his group’s name.

“You won’t”

“But I failed a lot of time before.”

“You never failed in front of camera.”

“Liar! I have a lot of failure. Don’t you watch A no Arashi?”

“But fans love it. So they are not failure. And even if you fail this time, the fans and us will still love you.”

“But, I want to look cool too.”

“You are cool like that. You flaws are your biggest charm you know? A lot of people want to be you.”

“How do you know?”

“Because I am one of them.”

That answer got him speechless. And blushing hard.

“Wha..what are you talking riida?” he tried to reason with him. The other did not answer immediately. A brief silence creep between them for about one good minute before he decided to talk again.

“Are you trying to make me feel good?”

“Does it work?”

“No, idiot!” and they both burst out laughing. And he breathlessly thanks his leader.  'Everything is good when Riida's around.' he tought.




Just a sappy image of mine about how kind Arashi's leader is. >.<
