Summary: Newscaster Sakurai Sho forms an unlikely bond with famous idol Aiba Masaki through texting. How far will their relationship go and how long will it last?
Warnings: Sexual themes
Author's notes: Hello, Saaurus! This was a challenge to write, especially using the text message format. I had also put some elements from your other prompts as well. Although the story didn’t go as I had originally planned, I hope you’ll still enjoy what I have come up for this fanfic. And to everyone else, I hope you’re doing well and thank you for coming here. That is all :)
Hello, thank you so much again for your hard work earlier. It was nice meeting you, Sakurai-san.
Ah, sorry. This is Aiba Masaki! From the NHK show, Gutto! Sports.
We exchanged numbers earlier.
I’m grateful for that. In fact, I’d like to work with you again someday; maybe in the future!
By the way, you don’t mind if we become friends, right?
Ahaha, I see. Just wanted to make sure. Anyway, take care on your way home, Sakurai-san!
Take a look at this LMAO
[Aiba Masaki sent you a photo]
OH GOD I'M SORRY
I'M SO SORRY I REALLY AM
I HOPE I DIDN'T BOTHER YOU
Hello, I'm sorry if I didn't reply to you yesterday, I was really embarrassed about what happened.
It was for another friend, you might know him, Nino. Anyway, I promise it won't happen again.
It's a squishy penis toy.
I've made things worse by saying that.
I'm really really sorry.
I'm good.
Thank you.
Say, the staff are still looking for some guests for next month's filming, do you want to join Sakurai-san? I could tell them if you want.
Alright. Sorry to bother you.
I can't help it. Sorry.
It's ok. Thank you for informing me.
I was looking forward to it too, oh well.
Yes?
He'll be nice to you as long as you get on his good side.
It’s a bit hard to explain, but I think you’ll be fine.
Gifts?
Oh.
Yeah, I think Jun would like that too.
I haven't touched them yet. They're still in the fridge.
I will.
I love sweets.
You do?
Who?
Oh, yeah. The painter, right?
Makes sense now.
Yeah.
Uh, Sakurai-san, it's getting late. And I'm quite sleepy right now, so I better go, if that's ok?
Good night.
Please don't remind me Sakurai-san T-T
Those are plushies, not squishies though
That’s good.
I’m glad you guys got along.
Oh yeah.
I forgot to tell you he loves mascots.
Yes.
Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.
He always does that to every mascot.
Yeah.
What are you doing now btw?
What kind of book?
That’s nice.
Are you going on a trip or something?
As expected from a newscaster.
I wish I could learn English.
Maybe you could teach me.
Please do, Sakurai-sensei
Btw I was thinking if maybe I could call you something else other than “Sakurai”
I mean, I don’t really mind formality, but I just learned we were born in the same year.
I was born on December 24, 1982.
Yeah.
Yeah, I just read it when I looked it up on Google.
Ok.
Would calling you “Sho-chan” be ok?
Well, me and my circle of friends call each other that way. Even Nino calls me “Aiba-chan” although I’m older than him.
I guess it has grown on me.
Alright, Sho-chan it is.
Hi Sho-chan :D
How about you? You can call me Masaki too if you want.
Well, that works too.
I was thinking that maybe you had a silly nickname for me.
I don’t know
Mister Squishy Penis?
I felt like that gave you a big impression about me, that’s why.
Like maybe you think I was a jerk or something.
Thank you.
I don’t think a phrase could match up to your kind words, but thank you.
Before I forget, I already ate some of the wagashi
They’re delicious.
Of course.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Oh, same.
Was just wondering.
Because Nino’s dating a newscaster.
Plus, you’re a popular guy, maybe you’re also dating someone famous or something like that.
Also, your dad’s a politician?
Eh?
What’s so wild about it, though…
Are you saying dating other celebrities is not your thing?
Yes, you do have a point.
I don’t think it really matters either.
Now that I think about it, I haven't dated anyone for a long while.
You still up?
Ok
Say, do you ever feel like everything happens for a reason?
I mean, when it comes to romantic relationships
My mind has been roaming around in a few places.
Anyway, do you?
It's alright.
As for me, I'm kind of in the middle.
It's not like I believe meeting my future lover would be a miracle. But the thought gives you a warm feeling.
Idk how to explain it, but I just feel it. I just get attracted to that person, even without knowing why.
You get that, right?
Are you still studying?
I’m not bothering you, am I?
Ok.
If I’m distracting you, just tell me.
Huh?
Uh, talking to you?
Watching TV.
I’m a bit sleepy though.
What about you?
Ok.
You still awake?
I was about to.
But I forgot to say good night.
Good night.
Sho-chan
Hi
Nothing much.
Just wanted to talk to you.
Was filming a music video and we’re on a break right now.
You?
Ok, good.
Ah, it’s actually a secret, but I’ll tell you the song title.
It’s called…
DISCO STAR
What do you think?
It’s really good. The tune is very catchy.
Thanks.
Ok, will do.
Yay, hi
How are you?
Good.
What are you doing?
Eating dinner that I cooked for myself
Yeah
My parents own a restaurant back in Chiba and stuff
Yeah, it does
Anyway
I wanted to ask something
What kind of music do you like?
Just wondering.
They say that music tells a lot about a person.
I listen to hip-hop sometimes, but mostly it’s pop and rock music that I like.
Something that makes me hyped up for the day
Yeah, I do that too.
Getting rid of the bad vibes.
What?
Oh, yeah
Does it bother you?
I’m glad you think so.
I guess you can ask me anything in return.
Like, you can interview me.
Yeah
Well, I was a big SMAP fan back then, and during one of their shows, they were playing basketball. So, I thought that maybe if I entered Johnny’s, I could get the chance to play with them.
Yeah hahaha
Not really.
But at least I got to meet them.
There are some ups and downs, but so far, yes, I am.
I like all sports.
I don’t really have a favorite.
I do.
Hahahaha
Alright. Good night.
You too.
Sho-chan
Are you watching the NHK × NTV special collab right now?
Ok, cool.
Ah, it's starting...
There you are ahaha
I still remember that part.
I'm glad they kept that in.
Ok
You really look good in that suit Sho-chan
Yeah.
Sho-chan
There's something I've been thinking about for a long time now.
During filming, while we were on our break, we were sitting on the benches and then you sat next to me. We talked a little bit. I don't really remember everything but, in the middle of our chat, you said that a newscaster’s job was to witness history and tell it to the world so that they will remember for many generations to come, but once a story is told, how many will remember its teller? I didn't answer back then, but I understand it now. You're more than a newscaster, Sho-chan. A lot of people admire you more than you think. They'll remember you, even in little ways. And you were not alone that day, the staff was there, our colleagues were there, I was there, with you, looking at the same scenery. So, even if people want to drag you down with that thinking, don't give in. Don't let it linger. You did well that day, and the days before, and the days after that.
Well, like you said, a simple phrase is enough.
Of course.
Why wouldn’t I?
:)
Hahahaha
I don’t even want to imagine what that would be like
You as a girl
Oh
Alright, I searched and I found her picture
This is only my opinion ok
I’d say you’re prettier haha
What? I didn’t say she was ugly
Hahahahaha
Yeah
I wouldn’t really say it’s a joke
Yeah, you’re very beautiful to me
Just kidding
HAHAHAHAHA
Your heart skipped a beat earlier, didn’t it? ;)
Hahahaha ok
But, really? You’d date me if you were a girl?
Which one
The dating part or the ‘if you were girl’ part
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It’s just a question, Sho-chan
I had to make sure, you know.
Yeah
I mean, it’s not like I know what your sexuality is.
Because I know some people who are sensitive with that stuff. And I’ve worked with people like Matsuko Deluxe or Ikko-san, so it’s kind of like a reflex now for me.
Oh, ok.
I’m not gay either, in case you’re wondering.
From what I know, sometime next week?
I’ll send you the link once it’s out, if you want
No problem.
Anyway, I got to go. I need to wake up early for a location filming.
Good night, Sho-chan.
[Aiba-kun sent you a link]
Sho-chan, the Disco Star music video is out! :D
Ok
What? Did you watch it?
How is it?
Eh? Really?
Ahahahha
I’m so glad you love it :D
Which one?
Really? Thank you so much! :o
I’ll do my best for the live performance then haha
This Friday on Music Station!
Awesome, thanks for the support :D
You sure?
Ok whatever you say <3
No <3
Hahahaha
You’re really cute whenever you get so flustered.
Ok
Sho-chan
Look what I found on my way home
[Aiba-kun sent you a picture]
They actually do feel nice and squishy
Why the heck would I buy it?
Do you always have to remind me about that?
T A T
:/
Why, did you want one?
Thought so :p
Anyway, why buy one when we could just use our own.
My apologies. Spare me, Your Grace.
Hahahaha
Now that I think about it, we’ve only met once.
Maybe we could go out together someday.
You did say you wanted to date me haha
Yeah, I know.
By the way, how are you?
Oh, good.
Same here.
So, what are you doing right now?
I guess you can think of it as your rest day.
[Aiba-kun sent you a link]
Here. It’s a playlist I made recently :)
No problem. I hope it helps.
Glad you do.
It does?
I didn’t notice.
Maybe.
Yeah.
I wish she does.
Sho-chan?
Are you still awake?
I guess you’re already asleep. Oh well.
Good night, Sho-chan.
Sho-chan!
Did you watch the performance earlier?
And?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
; A ;
Idk I’m still not used to this kind of concept
I wonder if I was sexy enough for the ladies
Hahahaha you think I’m sexy?
Fair enough.
But, really, you think I’m sexy? :)
Yes :)
Ok
:(
You’re mean.
[Aiba-kun sent you a picture]
[Aiba-kun sent you a picture]
[Aiba-kun sent you a picture]
Changing your mind :)
[Aiba-kun sent you a picture]
I didn’t know that.
May I see? :)
[Aiba-kun sent you a picture]
Does it distract you?
Then it’s working :)
Hahahaha
Don’t worry, I’m just messing with you
;)
About what?
No. Like I said earlier, I’m just messing with you.
It’s nothing serious.
If it bothers you, just tell me directly and I’ll stop.
You don’t trust me?
I get what you mean. But you can trust me, okay?
I really cherish our friendship, I do.
I’m sorry if I offended you in some way. I’ll try to make it up to you.
I promise.
Oh, hello
I’m good.
Yeah, it has.
I’ve got a busy schedule right now.
Yes.
MatsuJun’s really strict when it comes to rehearsals
Yeah.
It’s the third time actually.
Though, he gets easily frustrated nowadays. I don’t know why.
One time, he got angry at me for using my phone, telling me I might get too distracted.
Ever since then, he made everyone not use their phones during work. The staff even collected all our phones and put them in a box.
It’s a bit of a hassle if you ask me. But Jun is Jun after all.
Thank you :)
Oh, by the way, do you want to watch the concert? I could give you some tickets; the staff gave me spare ones
It’s ok.
Maybe next year, you can come.
Alright. Bye.
Heyy
Hw areyou?
You wer so preety in the nws earlierr
Your smile was so daxzling
And your voixe iz vrry calming
I love yu zo much don’t y know that?
I misss you so much Ayahko
Sho-chan, I’m really sorry about the previous messages! >< Nino took my phone earlier while I was gone. We were having drinks and he got so wasted. Anyway, hope we didn’t bother you.
Don’t worry, he’s sleeping right now. Not really comfortable with him on the couch though.
He might barf.
Oh no, we’re also with Kazama, another friend of ours. MatsuJun also came along.
Oh, we had too much fun.
You should come hang out with us sometime. They’re a great bunch.
I understand.
Again, sorry to bother you.
Sho-chan
Yeah, hello
How are you doing?
Same here.
I’m actually celebrating my birthday soon.
Yes.
Thank you.
Uh, Sho-chan
The thing is…
I was thinking if you’d like to come over to my apartment sometime this weekend to celebrate.
If you’re available.
Yay :D
It’ll be this Saturday night, 9pm.
[Aiba-kun sent you a picture]
Here’s my address.
Can’t wait to see you :D
Hey, Sho-chan
Are you back home yet?
Oh, good.
Thanks for attending the party :D
Did you have fun with the others?
Btw what did you and Jun talk about earlier?
Nothing.
I just want to know.
Well, we’ve known each other since we were kids, so it’s kind of a given.
Me, Jun, and the rest.
Yes?
What do you mean?
You’re my friend. Of course, I’d invite you.
But I introduced you to them, one by one, didn’t I?
I don’t get it.
Really, I don’t.
Did you have any problems with one of my friends or something?
Sho-chan.
Please, answer me.
Sho-chan, I’m not mad at you alright?
You can tell me all about it.
You can trust me.
Alright, if you say so.
Where are you?
Send me your address.
I'll go to you.
You said you wanted to talk right?
I've got my car. I'll be ok.
Just tell me your address.
Ok, I'll be there in about an hour.
Hey
How are you?
Good.
Merry Christmas.
About last night…
Do you want to talk about it?
You sure?
I'm sorry if it was too sudden
WHAT
How was THAT an accident??
We even ended up touching each other's dicks for heaven’s sake
OK I'M SORRY
But you were the one who got hard first
OK FINE
Idk you were hugging me and all, so I thought that's what you had in mind...
Well, now you know.
Btw you looked really hot when I played with the tip
OK
:)
I love you
Really, you’re going to leave me hanging here? :(
Sho-chan, come on
Pls
Pretty pls
I’ll be a good boyfriend from now on
I promise
Aww
Btw, when are you going to call me Masaki? :)
Come on, Sho-chan :((
Can’t wait then.
No, screw that, I’m going to your place tomorrow night.
:T
Ok fine.
I’ll try to resist.
But can I at least touch your butt when I get there? :)
Yay
Oh, that wouldn’t be a problem, Sho-chan.
I’m all yours now <3
Get used to it <3
Love you too <3
Hi
:)
I really love the view from here.
Yeah…
Very pretty.
I see a beautiful man sitting at his desk working right now.
I was thinking of more than just talk.
How about you come over here and find out?
Ok, if you say so.
Hey.
Got any plans for New Year’s Eve? ;)
Aww, come on. Don’t be nervous.
Just go with the flow. They’ll just think you’re into the music.
Hahahahaha
Anyway, just be yourself. You’ll be a great host. ^ A ^ <3
Which one? :)
Yeah, but don’t worry, I’ll try my best at both for you <3
See you later <3
Happy birthday, Sho-chan. Hope you have a great day <3
^ A ^ <3 <3 <3
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
LOL
Good evening. You home yet?
Ok good. Because I’m sending something to you.
It’s a surprise :)
:)
Anyway, the package will be there in an hour.
Yeah, go ahead. :)
So, what do you think of my birthday present? It’s nice, right?
Trust me, you’ll love it soon.
Or should I say, later ;)
Have you tried it on yet?
Come on, don’t be shy :)
You’ll look great <3
May I see?
What’s with that serious face? Hahahaha
Anyway, I knew pink would look good on you ^ A ^
Btw I’m on my way to your place
I’m downstairs right now.
Oh yeah, before I go in, could you say ‘Welcome back, master’ when I enter the room? :D
I’m alright.
Don’t worry about me. It’s just a fever.
Don’t tempt me pls
Also, you might get sick too, and I don’t want that ><
Yeah, that would be better.
Send pics.
Still.
I didn’t send all of my workout pictures to you for nothing :/
Not fair. You’re not even shirtless here.
Sure, I will.
[Aiba-kun sent you a photo]
Oh, ok. Sorry.
WAIT DID SOMEONE ELSE SEE MY PHOTO
Shit
What if someone recognizes me? T A T
Idk what if they’re like those crazy fans who analyze every photo
You may never know
It’s for your eyes only, Sho-chan.
Thanks for the fruit btw
<3
Good morning, Sho-chan
Yeah, I am.
I’ll probably get back to work by next week.
I won’t.
I miss you.
I was about to sleep.
Is there something you want to talk about?
Why?
Wow, Sho-chan, you’re being so romantic.
Can’t wait to see you then. <3
Good morning
[Masaki sent you a picture]
Woke up early for today’s shooting. Gonna ride my motorbike and all.
It’s very cold out here.
I will.
Love you too.
[Masaki sent you a picture]
Ate ramen for lunch today. ^ A ^
How about you?
Hey, no fair, I want fried chicken too :((
Yes, please! <3
Yay! You’re the best, Sho-chan! :D
Ok, noted
<3
Hello, good evening. Sorry to bother you. This is Matsumoto Jun. I’m using Aiba-san’s phone at the moment because he passed out while we were having drinks. If it’s alright, could you help me carry him upstairs to his apartment? Thank you.
Sho-chan, good morning! Sorry about last night, I got super drunk. Hope you and Jun didn’t have a hard time.
Ok.
Oh, yeah, the staff and I happened to see him while we were going on our way back to Tokyo.
Also, thanks for the red velvet cupcakes! I just found them in the fridge just now.
[Masaki sent you a picture]
Oh
Sorry, my mistake. I really thought it was from you because of the packaging.
Sho-chan?
Sho-chan, are you okay?
Hey, please reply.
Hey, calm down. MatsuJun has always given us very extravagant gifts like this.
Sho-chan, please.
Sho, don’t you dare talk about him like that.
Look, can we just talk about this through call? I think it’s better if we settle it that way.
Sho-chan, please don’t cry. I’m sorry…
I should’ve noticed how he treated you back then. I’m really sorry.
I can talk it out with him. I’m sure he’ll understand.
That’s just what he wants you to think.
I don’t want to let go of either of you.
Honestly, all I wanted was for everyone to get along.
Sho, don’t do this.
Please, you can’t just give up like this. I beg of you.
Sho, please. I love you very much.
We can work this out, I promise.
You can trust me on this. Just, please… please don’t break up with me. Anything but that.
I love you.

Nino? You mean the award-winning actor,
Ninomiya Kazunari?
It's alright Aiba-san, you don't need to apologize.
That photo made me laugh, it really did. I don't know what the thing is called though.
Ninomiya Kazunari?
It's alright Aiba-san, you don't need to apologize.

It's a squishy penis toy.
I've made things worse by saying that.
I'm really really sorry.
Hahaha
Don't be sorry.
It's fine.
Don't be sorry.
It's fine.
*You renamed Aiba Masaki as Squishy P. Man*
By the way, how are you?
I'm good.
I happened to watch a replay of your variety show.
VS Damashi.
The games looked real fun. I enjoyed watching it very much.

Thank you.
Say, the staff are still looking for some guests for next month's filming, do you want to join Sakurai-san? I could tell them if you want.
It depends on my schedule. I'll ask my manager about it.
Alright. Sorry to bother you.
Seriously, you keep saying sorry too much lol
I can't help it. Sorry.
Hahahaha
You’re so humble, Aiba-san.
You’re so humble, Aiba-san.

Aiba-san, I told my manager about the guesting, but it turns out my schedule for next month is fully booked. I would've loved to come to the show but I'm afraid I have to pass on your offer. I apologize.
It's ok. Thank you for informing me.
I was looking forward to it too, oh well.
Hey, Aiba-san.
Yes?
There's been something I've been wanting to ask you.
The thing is, I'll be interviewing Matsumoto Jun for News Zero, and I've heard he's your friend. So, I was wondering if you could give me some advice?
Like, what kind of person is he and such.

I see.
Is that all?
Is that all?
It’s a bit hard to explain, but I think you’ll be fine.
Alright.
What about gifts?
What about gifts?
Gifts?
Like the one I gave you when we first met.
The wagashi.
The wagashi.
Oh.
Yeah, I think Jun would like that too.
Alright.
Did they taste good?
Did they taste good?
I haven't touched them yet. They're still in the fridge.
Ok. I hope you like them.
I will.
I love sweets.
I know.
You do?
I've heard.
From a friend.
From a friend.
Who?
Ohno-san.
Oh, yeah. The painter, right?
Yes, painter & former Idol Ohno Satoshi.
Makes sense now.
We live in a small world.
Yeah.
Uh, Sakurai-san, it's getting late. And I'm quite sleepy right now, so I better go, if that's ok?
Yeah, ok. Good night Aiba-san.
Good night.

They actually come in different sizes lol
Those are plushies, not squishies though
I know that.
Anyway.
I wanted to tell you my interview with Matsumoto Jun earlier went well.
He was also pleased with the wagashi I gave him.

I’m glad you guys got along.
I never expected it at all.
Oh, yeah, speaking of Matsumoto…
After the interview, we happened to pass by one of NTV’s mascots.
All of a sudden, national idol and concert director Matsumoto Jun just runs up to it and hugs it.
And I just stood there staring at him like
0_0

Yes.
Honestly, it caught me off guard.
Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.
He always does that to every mascot.
Oh my.
Yeah.
What are you doing now btw?
I’m currently reading a book.
What kind of book?
It’s actually a Japanese-English workbook. I’m trying to study.
That’s nice.
Are you going on a trip or something?
I just needed a refresher.
I need to communicate with a lot of people from different countries.
I need to communicate with a lot of people from different countries.
As expected from a newscaster.
I wish I could learn English.
Maybe you could teach me.
Sure.
If we meet again, maybe I could teach you a few words.
If we meet again, maybe I could teach you a few words.
Please do, Sakurai-sensei
XD
Btw I was thinking if maybe I could call you something else other than “Sakurai”
I mean, I don’t really mind formality, but I just learned we were born in the same year.
We were?
I was born on December 24, 1982.
Oh, wow.
Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve.
Yeah.
My birthday’s January 25.
Yeah, I just read it when I looked it up on Google.
Oh, lol
Well, you can call me by my first name. I don’t mind.
Well, you can call me by my first name. I don’t mind.
Ok.
Would calling you “Sho-chan” be ok?
…
I guess
But I’m still older than you though?
I guess
But I’m still older than you though?
Well, me and my circle of friends call each other that way. Even Nino calls me “Aiba-chan” although I’m older than him.
I guess it has grown on me.
Fine, I’ll consider it.
Alright, Sho-chan it is.
Hi Sho-chan :D
Yeah, hi.
How about you? You can call me Masaki too if you want.
I’m fine with calling you Aiba though.
Well, that works too.
I was thinking that maybe you had a silly nickname for me.
Like what?
I don’t know
Mister Squishy Penis?
Pffftt-- Nonsense.
As if I’d do that.
As if I’d do that.
*You renamed Squishy P. Man to Aiba-kun*
I felt like that gave you a big impression about me, that’s why.
Like maybe you think I was a jerk or something.
Hey, don’t say that.
You’re a good guy, Aiba-kun. I thought that ever since the first time we met.
And even after that mishap, my impression of you never changed.

And even after that mishap, my impression of you never changed.
Thank you.
I don’t think a phrase could match up to your kind words, but thank you.
A simple phrase is enough. It’s the thought that counts. :)
Before I forget, I already ate some of the wagashi
They’re delicious.
I’m glad you like them.
Of course.
[10:20PM]
Do you have a girlfriend?
What’s with that sudden question? lol
I’m single.
I’m single.
Oh, same.
Was just wondering.
Because Nino’s dating a newscaster.
Plus, you’re a popular guy, maybe you’re also dating someone famous or something like that.
Also, your dad’s a politician?
Yes, he is.
You sure do have a very wild imagination, Aiba-san lol
You sure do have a very wild imagination, Aiba-san lol
Eh?
What’s so wild about it, though…
Are you saying dating other celebrities is not your thing?
That’s not it.
I mean, if I like the person, I’ll just go for it. Their status doesn’t matter.
I mean, if I like the person, I’ll just go for it. Their status doesn’t matter.
Yes, you do have a point.
I don’t think it really matters either.
Now that I think about it, I haven't dated anyone for a long while.
You still up?
Yes
Ok
Say, do you ever feel like everything happens for a reason?
Like in general?
I mean, when it comes to romantic relationships
Seriously, the way your thought process works just baffles me haha
My mind has been roaming around in a few places.
Anyway, do you?
I think it does. But in a logical way, not the spiritual one.
People take the "soulmate" stuff way too seriously. Like, "she's the one", etc.
Honestly, it's more of a belief to think that there's someone out there for you. To think that you break up with them because you weren't destined to be together, when in actuality, it just didn't work out. It's not that deep.
I'm sorry if that bursts your bubble.

It's alright.
As for me, I'm kind of in the middle.
It's not like I believe meeting my future lover would be a miracle. But the thought gives you a warm feeling.
Idk how to explain it, but I just feel it. I just get attracted to that person, even without knowing why.
You get that, right?
Yes, I do.
Are you still studying?
Yes.
I’m not bothering you, am I?
No, not at all.
Ok.
If I’m distracting you, just tell me.
What about you, Aiba-kun?
Huh?
What are you doing at the moment?
Uh, talking to you?
Other than that.
Watching TV.
I’m a bit sleepy though.
You should get some rest then.
What about you?
I’m perfectly fine.
I could probably stay awake for another hour or so.

Hi
Hi
What is it?
What is it?
Nothing much.
Just wanted to talk to you.
Was filming a music video and we’re on a break right now.
You?
I see. I’m on a break as well.
What kind of music video are you doing?

Ok, good.
Ah, it’s actually a secret, but I’ll tell you the song title.
Ok.
It’s called…
DISCO STAR
What do you think?
I don’t know what to expect but since it’s Aiba-kun, it’ll probably be good lol
Good luck then.
Good luck then.
It’s really good. The tune is very catchy.
Thanks.
My break’s over, I need to go.
Talk to you later, I guess?

How are you?
Good. Very good.

What are you doing?
I’m cooking dinner.
Actually, microwaving it lol
You?

Eating dinner that I cooked for myself
Nice.
I didn’t know you can cook.

Yeah
My parents own a restaurant back in Chiba and stuff
Oh
So, it runs in the family, huh?
So, it runs in the family, huh?
Yeah, it does
Anyway
I wanted to ask something
Go on.
What kind of music do you like?
Anything goes really. Like hip-hop, jazz, etc.
Why do you ask?
Why do you ask?
Just wondering.
They say that music tells a lot about a person.
I listen to hip-hop sometimes, but mostly it’s pop and rock music that I like.
Something that makes me hyped up for the day
I see.
I actually do that as well. But rather than to hype me up, I try looking for music that calms me down.
Like when I get stressed at work, I just want to shut my brain off and relax while listening.

[10:34PM]
I just realized something.
What?
You’ve been asking a lot of questions to me lately lol
Oh, yeah
Does it bother you?
Not at all.
I actually enjoy our conversations so far.

I’m glad you think so.
I guess you can ask me anything in return.
Like, you can interview me.
Anything?
Yeah
Hmm
I’ll just go with something simple for now
What made you decide to become an idol?
I’ll just go with something simple for now
What made you decide to become an idol?
Well, I was a big SMAP fan back then, and during one of their shows, they were playing basketball. So, I thought that maybe if I entered Johnny’s, I could get the chance to play with them.
Seriously?
Yeah hahaha
That’s so cute XD
Did your wish come true?
Did your wish come true?
Not really.
But at least I got to meet them.
Aww, that’s good.
You must be happy with such a life.

There are some ups and downs, but so far, yes, I am.
By the way, you mentioned basketball, I assume you like that sport?
Is it your favorite?
Is it your favorite?
I like all sports.
I don’t really have a favorite.
Wow, that’s interesting.
You must work out a lot then.
You must work out a lot then.
I do.
Actually, now that I think about it, you are quite muscular.

Hey, it’s very late at night now, and I’m getting sleepy. I got to go.

Are you watching the NHK × NTV special collab right now?
Yup.

There you are ahaha
I still remember that part.
I'm glad they kept that in.

[10:44PM]
Oh, thanks.
Sorry if I replied late.
Are you still up?
Sorry if I replied late.
Are you still up?
Yeah.
Ok.
Sho-chan
Hm?
There's something I've been thinking about for a long time now.
What is it?
[10:58PM]
During filming, while we were on our break, we were sitting on the benches and then you sat next to me. We talked a little bit. I don't really remember everything but, in the middle of our chat, you said that a newscaster’s job was to witness history and tell it to the world so that they will remember for many generations to come, but once a story is told, how many will remember its teller? I didn't answer back then, but I understand it now. You're more than a newscaster, Sho-chan. A lot of people admire you more than you think. They'll remember you, even in little ways. And you were not alone that day, the staff was there, our colleagues were there, I was there, with you, looking at the same scenery. So, even if people want to drag you down with that thinking, don't give in. Don't let it linger. You did well that day, and the days before, and the days after that.
I don't know what to say, or what words to choose to express what I feel. But, thank you.
Really, thank you.
Really, thank you.
Well, like you said, a simple phrase is enough.
Haha you remembered.
Of course.
Why wouldn’t I?
:)
[11:16PM]
You know, you’re really such a nice guy.
Like, to the point that I’d probably date you.
If I was a girl hahaha
XD
Like, to the point that I’d probably date you.
If I was a girl hahaha
XD
Hahahaha
I don’t even want to imagine what that would be like
Imagine what?
You as a girl
You can just look at my sister if you want to try lol
Oh
Alright, I searched and I found her picture
And?
This is only my opinion ok
Ok
I’d say you’re prettier haha
AIBA
HOW COULD YOU
HOW COULD YOU
What? I didn’t say she was ugly
STILL
MAI WOULD FLIP IF SHE SEES THIS
SHE’S GOING TO BE SO MAD HAHAHAHA
MAI WOULD FLIP IF SHE SEES THIS
SHE’S GOING TO BE SO MAD HAHAHAHA
Hahahahaha
Yeah
Seriously, that was a good joke.
I wouldn’t really say it’s a joke
Eh? Really?
Yeah, you’re very beautiful to me
Just kidding
I KNEW IT HAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHA
YOU ALMOST GOT ME THERE HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Your heart skipped a beat earlier, didn’t it? ;)
AS IF
Hahahaha ok
But, really? You’d date me if you were a girl?
IT WAS A JOKE
Which one
What do you mean ‘which one’?
The dating part or the ‘if you were girl’ part
BOTH OBVIOUSLY
WHY THE HECK WOULD I DATE YOU
WHY THE HECK WOULD I DATE YOU
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It’s just a question, Sho-chan
I had to make sure, you know.
‘Make sure’??
Yeah
I mean, it’s not like I know what your sexuality is.
Because I know some people who are sensitive with that stuff. And I’ve worked with people like Matsuko Deluxe or Ikko-san, so it’s kind of like a reflex now for me.
I’m not gay.
Oh, ok.
I’m not gay either, in case you’re wondering.
Ok.
So, when’s the Disco Star music video coming out?
From what I know, sometime next week?
I’ll send you the link once it’s out, if you want
Ok, I’d love that. Thanks.
No problem.
Anyway, I got to go. I need to wake up early for a location filming.
Alright, good night.
Good night, Sho-chan.

SHUT UP
Ok
[10:33PM]
Sho-chan
What?
Look what I found on my way home
[Aiba-kun sent you a picture]
You actually found one, what the heck.
They actually do feel nice and squishy
Wait, did you buy it??
Why the heck would I buy it?
Well, you’re the one who shared that thing in the first place.
Do you always have to remind me about that?
T A T
Yes.
:/
Why, did you want one?
HECK NO
Thought so :p
Anyway, why buy one when we could just use our own.
Aiba-san, I will block your number if you keep this up.
My apologies. Spare me, Your Grace.
I hate the fact that we became friends because of a little squishy penis toy.
Hahahaha
Now that I think about it, we’ve only met once.
You’re right. We did only meet once.
Maybe we could go out together someday.
You did say you wanted to date me haha
FOR THE LAST TIME THAT WAS A JOKE OK
Yeah, I know.
[11:03PM]
By the way, how are you?
I’m alright.
Oh, good.
Same here.
So, what are you doing right now?
Other than eating dinner, nothing much.
I didn’t feel like doing anything tonight.

Yes.
MatsuJun’s really strict when it comes to rehearsals
MatsuJun? You mean Matsumoto Jun?
He’s directing your concert?
He’s directing your concert?
Yeah.
It’s the third time actually.
Though, he gets easily frustrated nowadays. I don’t know why.
How so?
One time, he got angry at me for using my phone, telling me I might get too distracted.
Ever since then, he made everyone not use their phones during work. The staff even collected all our phones and put them in a box.
It’s a bit of a hassle if you ask me. But Jun is Jun after all.
I see.
Well, good luck then.
Well, good luck then.
Thank you :)
Oh, by the way, do you want to watch the concert? I could give you some tickets; the staff gave me spare ones
Thanks, but I’m not available for any of the dates.

Maybe next year, you can come.

Aiba, I know you might not want to read this or maybe you’re still busy performing on stage or whatever; at this point, I don’t care anymore. First of all, I'd like to apologize for causing a misunderstanding. I assure you nothing serious happened between me & any of your friends. But after that night, I haven’t had any decent sleep because I feel guilty. For a long while, I’ve been thinking about you, wondering if you’ll send a message. I really miss our talks; I miss your terrible and flirty jokes, and above all, I miss you. I know that whatever choice I’ll make could change our friendship forever. I want to talk to you, in person if that's possible. I feel that if we just settle it through messages, I might hold back on telling you what I truly feel. I want to be honest with you. I've grown fond of you to the point that I'm afraid of how you'll react. Either way, I hope you'll still see me as your friend.
P.S. Happy Birthday again and Merry Christmas

OK I'M SORRY
I thought it would only last for a few seconds but you just kept going
But you were the one who got hard first
THAT'S NOT THE POINT
OK FINE
Idk you were hugging me and all, so I thought that's what you had in mind...
I just wanted to tell you about my feelings for you.
It never crossed my mind what I'd do if I found out you felt the same way.

SERIOUSLY
Come on, Sho-chan :((
When we meet again, I’ll call you that.
Can’t wait then.
No, screw that, I’m going to your place tomorrow night.
DON’T

If all you want is sex, I’m not letting you into my apartment.
Ok fine.
I’ll try to resist.
Good.
But can I at least touch your butt when I get there? :)
Fine, whatever.
Yay
As long as I get to touch yours back.
Oh, that wouldn’t be a problem, Sho-chan.
I’m all yours now <3
You’re being cheesy again.
Get used to it <3
I hate you <3
Love you too <3

Hi
Hi
:)
I really love the view from here.
Oh, really?
Yeah…
Very pretty.
Same here.
I see a beautiful man sitting at his desk working right now.
I see a gorgeous man lying on my bed and texting me when he could just talk to me instead.
I was thinking of more than just talk.
Yeah? What’s that?
How about you come over here and find out?
Make me.
Ok, if you say so.

Got any plans for New Year’s Eve? ;)
Don’t remind me ; 3 ;
Aww, come on. Don’t be nervous.
How can I not? You’re going to perform freaking Disco Star! What if I get so into it that they notice?
Just go with the flow. They’ll just think you’re into the music.
THAT DOESN’T HELP AT ALL T 3 T
Besides, you really don’t get how much I LOVE this song of yours.

Good evening. You home yet?
Yes, I am. Why?
Ok good. Because I’m sending something to you.
Oh, wow.
Wait, what exactly are you sending?
It’s a surprise :)
Honestly, it makes me nervous whenever you use that smiley face.
:)
STOP
Anyway, the package will be there in an hour.
Ok.
[8:15PM]
The package arrived. Do I open it now?
Yeah, go ahead. :)
Ok.
So, what do you think of my birthday present? It’s nice, right?
I hate you so much.
Trust me, you’ll love it soon.
Or should I say, later ;)
You are, by far, the weirdest person I’ve ever dated.
Have you tried it on yet?
THERE’S NO WAY I’M GOING TO WEAR THIS MAID OUTFIT FOR YOU
Come on, don’t be shy :)
You’ll look great <3
[9:30PM]
Ok, I wore it. Happy?
May I see?
[You sent a picture to Masaki]
What’s with that serious face? Hahahaha
Anyway, I knew pink would look good on you ^ A ^
Btw I’m on my way to your place
As if I didn’t figure that out yet.
[10:23PM]
I’m downstairs right now.

Oh yeah, before I go in, could you say ‘Welcome back, master’ when I enter the room? :D

Hey, are you alright? I just read about the news that you’re sick :(
I’m alright.
Don’t worry about me. It’s just a fever.
I could visit you later tonight if you want.
Don’t tempt me pls
Also, you might get sick too, and I don’t want that ><
I’M NOT TEMPTING YOU, IDIOT
Well, maybe I could send something for you instead.
Well, maybe I could send something for you instead.
Yeah, that would be better.
Send pics.
I mean, send you a gift in real life. Not here.
Still.
I didn’t send all of my workout pictures to you for nothing :/

You feeling better?

Thank goodness.
I’ll probably get back to work by next week.
Please, don’t overwork yourself again.
I won’t.
I miss you.
I miss you too.
[11:19PM]
Hey, are you still awake?
I was about to sleep.
Is there something you want to talk about?
No. I just want to tell you I’m going to your place right now.
Why?
No particular reason. I just want to see you.
Wow, Sho-chan, you’re being so romantic.
Can’t wait to see you then. <3

Woke up early for today’s shooting. Gonna ride my motorbike and all.
It’s very cold out here.
Travel safely, ok?

I love you.

Ate ramen for lunch today. ^ A ^
How about you?
[You sent a picture to Masaki]
Hey, no fair, I want fried chicken too :((

I could bring some for dinner once you get back from work.

Ok, noted

[8:21PM]
Hey, are you stuck in traffic or something? It’s getting late, the chicken’s probably gone cold now. I could microwave it later, once you arrive.
[9:00PM]
Masaki?
Masaki, please reply.
Masaki, please reply.
[9:48PM]
Please reply. I’m getting worried about you. I hope you’re okay.
[10:55PM]
Hello, good evening. Sorry to bother you. This is Matsumoto Jun. I’m using Aiba-san’s phone at the moment because he passed out while we were having drinks. If it’s alright, could you help me carry him upstairs to his apartment? Thank you.
Good evening. Ok, I’ll be there in a while.

Sho-chan, good morning! Sorry about last night, I got super drunk. Hope you and Jun didn’t have a hard time.
Not at all.
The chicken’s in the fridge by the way.
The chicken’s in the fridge by the way.
Ok.
You could’ve told me, you know. That you were with Jun yesterday.
Oh, yeah, the staff and I happened to see him while we were going on our way back to Tokyo.
Also, thanks for the red velvet cupcakes! I just found them in the fridge just now.
[Masaki sent you a picture]
[12:21PM]
That wasn’t from me…
Oh
Sorry, my mistake. I really thought it was from you because of the packaging.
Sho-chan?
[1:30PM]
Sho-chan, are you okay?
[2:00PM]
Hey, please reply.
[6:45PM]
Okay? You really think that I’m okay with your so-called ‘friend’ giving you red velvet cupcakes??
Hey, calm down. MatsuJun has always given us very extravagant gifts like this.
Oh, yes, a heart-shaped box along with a special Valentine card dedicated to you. That’s VERY EXTRAVAGANT.
Sho-chan, please.
Don’t you ‘Sho-chan’ me! I’m so done with freaking Matsumoto Jun or whoever he thinks he is. He’s sick!
Sho, don’t you dare talk about him like that.
Why? Because he’s your friend?
Masaki, don’t you get what he’s doing?
Masaki, don’t you get what he’s doing?
Look, can we just talk about this through call? I think it’s better if we settle it that way.
Well then, go ahead.
*Masaki is calling you*
*You answered the call*
*You ended the call*

Sho-chan, please don’t cry. I’m sorry…
I should’ve noticed how he treated you back then. I’m really sorry.
So, in the end, that’s how it is, huh?
You’re choosing him over me?
You’re choosing him over me?
I can talk it out with him. I’m sure he’ll understand.
How are you so sure?
He said that we wouldn’t last, that I wasn’t worthy of you.
He said that we wouldn’t last, that I wasn’t worthy of you.
That’s just what he wants you to think.
And yet, you’re still willing to be friends with him?
I don’t want to let go of either of you.
Honestly, all I wanted was for everyone to get along.
I’m sorry, I don’t think I can promise that.
In fact, I’ve already made up my mind.
In fact, I’ve already made up my mind.
Sho, don’t do this.
Let’s break up.
Please, you can’t just give up like this. I beg of you.
I can never be on good terms with you or any of your friends, especially with someone like that.
Sho, please. I love you very much.
We can work this out, I promise.
You can trust me on this. Just, please… please don’t break up with me. Anything but that.
I’m sorry.
Please, don’t contact me anymore. Don’t even come to my apartment.
