MARUDA MONTH OF AWESOME
Sep. 10th, 2013 08:04 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
higure... aka this isn't all that well thought out, but I don't care because MaruDa is turning 30, and I want to love them a little more.

Technically this is also a little late, and I really won't mind if any and all activity carries past October 4th.
To celebrate the wonderful thing that is the bond of one Nakamaru Yuichi and Ueda Tatsuya, who have been giving us joy and shipping material for years now, I challenge you!
Comment to this post and spam pictures, give me your feelings, write fics, post fic ideas and prompts, answer those prompts, share your doujinshi, look for couple clothes, share conspiratorial theories, flail and cry on my shoulder because Ueda and Nakamaru will both be 30 in a month and they still look younger than you, give me reasons why I (I mean everyone) should ship them (more), invite your friends, have a party!
Anything goes, this post stays public, let's have fun! Let's have an awesome MaruDa month. (The idea was not mine, but I sure hope Levy and Seki forgive me for stealing it).
I promise to make a master post of things in comments so people do not have to look for it.
Need a little incentive?
Maruda and dress shirts, and ties, and more ties (and you know other polka dot men apparel), and in leather jackets, and Ueda making Nakamaru's PV that much better, and Nakamaru telling you who really uses the whip in this relationship. And have MaruDa reminding you just how long they have been the perfection they are. Even if their radio made of awesome (and the related regular couple shoots) is no longer.
Have MaruDa serenading you because of course Nakamaru takes Ueda with him to his SCP performance.
Enjoy them pimping each other's acting work in an interview or watch them discuss hairstyles like it's serious business.
And top it off with some lovely meta that makes you melt.
Now it's your turn, I will encourage all and every notion of affection. Spread the word, have some fun.

Don't Make Me Come Back There. I Beg You
Nakamaru never actually intended to rent a Solio van for the beach trip ,but given all its convenient accoutrements—especially at present—Nakamaru is now convinced that the interior designer must have thought I want to make the kind of vehicle that can handle KAT-TUN.
By said standards, it should be ideal and they should have been able to arrive at the private sandy shore with very little fuss barring the obligatory music stand-off. (Nakamaru was the driver; it simply wasn’t up for discussion—Taguchi, keep your iPod jack to yourself, or so help me, I will turn this car around!.)
It could have been ideal. Ueda was in the passenger seat next to him; Nakamaru had insisted. It didn’t mean anything. It was just that Ueda was the best person to ride with; he didn’t backseat drive, he didn’t fiddle with the a/c, and he wasn’t Taguchi.
“Do you mind?” snapped Kame from behind Nakamaru’s seat.
“What?” Nakamaru replied, all got up with long-suffering as he squeezed the wheel.
“Not you,” Kame replied. “The two in the back. Someone’s kicking my seat and--”
“Wasn’t me,” Taguchi said quickly, voice muffled.
“Do we have to do this every time we get in an enclosed space together, guys?” Nakamaru called, frowning into the rearview. All he saw was Taguchi’s head duck out of sight. Nakamaru glanced pointedly at Ueda.
Ueda rested his cheek on his palm, elbow out the window. He’d somehow come upon the strawberry jelly biscuits Nakamaru had hidden in his bag. Ueda took a bite and shot a sidelong glance at Nakamaru, an especially glimmering and ephemeral smile to go with it. He’d be irritated if it weren’t a sudden perplexing balm. Could be the reflection from the sun. Nakamaru glared back at the road.
“Koki’s sleeping, Taguchi; it has to be you…”
“Wasn’t me, I said,” Taguchi returned curtly.
“Koki, are you actually sleeping?” Kame demanded. Nakamaru heard him turn in his seat. “No, you’re not, you’re--oh.”
Silence. Nakamaru then heard the creak of the middle seat as Kame slowly turned around and settled back like nothing had just happened An informed speculation floated above all of them in Kame’s residual quiet. Taguchi laughed a little; one of his casual, low, throaty laughs; the very sound of which would someday crown Nakamaru’s hour of passing.
“What is Koki--” Nakamaru began, already considering pulling up on the curb right then and there, but he was interrupted by Ueda quickly reaching over to twist the volume knob up. Nakamaru tore his eyes from the road to look at Ueda as he let his hand drop from the stereo controls to brush the back of Nakamaru’s, then closed on the stick-shift. Hesitant fingers but a sure, soft touch when it grazed the back of Nakamaru’s knuckles.
Nakamaru forgot what he was about to say when Ueda gave him a quick head-shake of ‘Just don’t,” and that minute moment meant the ocean had swallowed him up because his breath halted.
The music blared on. Kame was quiet and whatever was going on in the very back didn’t matter because Ueda didn’t pull away no matter how much harder Nakamaru gripped the stick-shift.

Hahaha so I'm just here to tell you that yes, I love your Maruda UST; how it seems like a thing neither of them need to say anything about, as it just is plus there's totally not-porn and that it's obviously not going on in the back seat of a rented SOLIO and that they all dutifully ignore it because it's not happening.
Yes, I love it. Thank you for writing this, yo <333
