a sleepover..... (Part 1)

[tomas_room2]

this is my 4th fanfic!!! yey. *enthusiastic clapping*
my 1st attempt at writing a not so incredibly long fanfic. haha.
and the first time i'm posting a fanfic at my LJ (finally, i almost never post here. lol.)

i hope you like it and PLEASE comment!! ~_~
(u can still comment anonymously if u don't have an LJ account,
but remember to tell me yr name if u want me to know who u are!)

___________________________________________Notes:

some things u should know before reading....

this continues from where i left off in the last fanfic, "my 3rd (fantasy) encounter with toma: and so we watched a movie together~ ♥" you don't HAVE to read my previous fanfics first, but i highly recommend at least reading the 3rd one, because you'll understand this story more and it won't be as good if u read this one and then go backward and read the 3rd one.

oh, here are the links to all my fanfics:

1. http://closeto4hrs.blogspot.com/
(an unforgettable (almost) 4 hrs with Toma in Tokyo~)
2. http://dec22wemeetagain.blogspot.com/
(MY SECOND WINTER (fantasy) ENCOUNTER WITH TOMA: let's go have dinner or something~ ♥)
3. http://andonthatrainyday.blogspot.com/
(my 3rd (fantasy) encounter with toma: and so we watched a movie together~ ♥)

the previous 3 fanfics were all VERY~ LONG and interactive (any1 can imagine you're with toma), but i gave up on that cuz everyone seems to think of me as the main character anyway. haha.

i also posted pics, a vocab list, and explanations for certain things for the other fanfics, but i'm not gonna do it this time (from now on?), cuz it takes too long to do all that. so if you don't know what a word means (you'll know most, dont worry!), u can look here, at my vocab list f/the 3rd fanfic: http://andonthatrainyday.blogspot.com/2010/03/kates-japanese-vocabulary-list.html

also, this 'kate' is like...40% me and 60% fantasy kate. and she's cuter and sweeter and in general, more lovable and awesome....which is why toma loves her so much. ~_~ and this toma is also not exactly toma....i guess he's like 70% toma and 30% fantasy toma....i really try to make him like real toma, but he's much more romantic and flirty. haha. (and so is kate~)

it's may 23, 2010. i've been here for around 2 weeks now. in kyoto! in japan! sometimes i still can't believe i'm really here....just hours away from tokyo...from toma. it feels like a dream...

but the past few months before i got here....it's been so hard on me...there were so many things i needed to do. and so many people i needed to break the news to, that i'm leaving... they would get upset and try to convince me to stay. and part of me really wanted to, too. but...this was the sacrifice i had to make so that toma and i can be together. and actually....most of my family and friends were not very surprised that i'm moving to japan. they knew i've always liked japan and all things japanese and i even spent a long time learning japanese (i'm kinda fluent, and i can read it a little too). so, i could have easily lied and said i'm moving there for an entirely different reason, but....it didn't feel right. so, i told them the truth...i fell in love with someone in japan.

and all the while, i missed toma like crazy. even though we still talked on the phone and by email and texts...but he was busy with filming or other things most of the time, and the phone calls and emails became shorter and shorter....at the time when i needed him the most, too. i would get so sad when he said he had to go, and that he'll call me soon....but i know his work is more important, so i never complained. but i know that toma also missed me so much...each email to me, he ended it with the words "i miss you".  and even though our conversations got shorter, they were no less sweet....toma would always know what to say to cheer me up. ~_~ one time, we had barely been talking for a few minutes, when toma had to go...

me: you have to go already?
toma: hai...
me: ......
toma: gomen...
me: daijoubu...
toma: i'll talk to you later.
me: eh? but you said you're not gonna have time to call me later...
toma: (shy laugh~, sweetly~) i mean...when i see you tonight, in my dream. i've been dreaming about you a lot lately...
me: hounto ni?
toma: mm~
me: (quietly) toma....me too....

awwww.....that just made me melt~ i love him so much~!! and i've seen him in my dreams almost every night, it seems. i'm so happy to know he's been dreaming about me too. ~_~

before i knew it, those months had past by and then that day finally came...yappari, toma was too busy...he apologized beforehand, that he can't come see me the first day i'm there. i said it was ok, but of course i was disappointed..... and so i flew to kyoto, and then i reached ivy's aunt's apartment. Hayashi-san!! ah, she looked just as nice and sweet as in the photos ivy had shown me! we hugged immediately. i had only talked to her on the phone before that, but i already felt so close to her...Ivy's told me a lot about her. and she really is a very cool and open-minded woman...she didn't think it was strange at all, that i've come here to be with my boyfriend...in fact, she thinks it's very romantic. (she joked that maybe cuz she's lived in hawaii half her life (so we can talk to each other in english, too!!)....so she's quite straightforward and not very polite and feminine and gentle enough for men in japan. thus she's still single to this day. haha. she's around 50-something yrs old, i guess.) i say 'arigatou!' over and over as i hug her. and she gently pulled away from me and she handed me a letter, smiling. "this came for you yesterday." eh!!

toma had asked for my address in kyoto long before so that he could come visit me, but i didn't think he'd send me something, especially before i had even come!! i waited until that night to open it.....

the envelope is really pretty and so is the stationary note that goes with it, that he wrote his message on. (on the outside of the letter, he only wrote "t." in the from section) and there's a picture, too. he wrote:

kate,

welcome to japan!!
i'm so glad you're here.♡
please give yourself a hug and imagine it's me hugging you.

i love you~

toma

the picture: a cute pic of toma making a pouty "chu" face. ~_~

ahhh!!! he's so sweet!!!!! of course, (after giving myself a hug) i immediately called him after that and we talked for a long while....♥

but once in kyoto....everything was so unfamiliar and new.....it was really tough, that first week!!  i not only missed toma, i missed everyone i knew and loved back home, and everything else.....the scenery, the food, the tv shows...even silly little things like the kind of toothpaste i used. though i've been to tokyo and read a lot of books about it, i hardly knew anything about kyoto. i bought a book about it but i never seemed to have time to read it...my (toma's ningen shikkaku) bookmark was still stuck near the front of the book. at first, i tried to not let toma know how sad i was feeling.....that i missed him and home so much. he was still so busy with work...i didn't want him to be worried about me and get distracted when he's filming.

but one night, i just broke down and cried while talking on the phone with him.....i just told him everything, about how i'm so homesick, i miss him, i miss my friends and family and everything familiar back home.....and toma just quietly listened....and after i finally stopped talking and was crying hard, still...he said, in a quiet sad voice...."gomen...i understand...but things will get better, i promise! daijoubu desu....i'll really try to come see you soon..." it felt good to finally let him know how sad i was feeling, and when he said this, i felt better.....though i know he's too busy right now....or else i would come visit him, but he really has no time to see me these days. it's ironic that toma was often in kyoto, filming, in april and may, for the autumn SP drama, Kyuukei no Kouya. but that was before i came. if only he still was filming in kyoto, we'd be able to see each other...

though toma wasn't able to come see me after all, he called me more often, starting from that day, which made me really happy! and ivy came and visited me the 2nd week. ~_~ she stayed for the whole week and really cheered me up. and us three, ivy, hayashi-san (but she tells me i can call her by her first name, Ellen, it makes her feel younger. haha.), and i....we spent a lot of time together, going out to eat and going shopping, etc. hayashi-san is a really fun and youthful person! she's super nice too....since i was having trouble finding work, she said i can work at her bookstore for now, while i keep looking. i happily agreed. at least if i keep busy, i won't get so homesick, or miss toma so much....

so....this is the start of my 3rd week here....sunday. today has been a busy day at the bookstore. it's not a very big bookstore. but even though there's another girl and guy and ellen too, it's still been hectic. i look outside the window and notice it's still kind of light out...the sky has a lovely bluish, just-after-sunset color ... i take a break. i lean against one of the book shelves and let out a breath....and i stare at the books in front of me....and i can't help thinking, "i wonder what toma's doing right now". *sigh* i glance around the bookstore....so many people still hanging around....and then i notice....eh!! that guy really looks a lot like toma!!!!!!

he's wearing a baseball cap, a white t-shirt with a nice design on it, and faded blue jeans and sneakers. and he's got a shoulder bag too. he's holding a big magazine and looking at some manga....a couple shelves from me.....i can't stop staring at him.....is it....really toma??? or am i just imagining it's him again. (every guy that even just slightly resembles toma....i have been embarrassed too many times already....running up to him and turns out it's not really toma!) and then....he notices me looking at him and turns to look at me.

EHHHH!!!
it is toma!!!!♥♥

toma turns towards me and smiles. ah...his cute smile! my heart immediately beats faster and my cheeks are flushed ....ah, i haven't doki doki'd like this in a long long time....and as we stand there for a moment, looking at each other, it reminds me of the first time i met him in that CD store, 2 years ago.....ahhh...everything else becomes a blur, and i only see toma standing in front of me. he's so handsome, even in just casual clothes like this....he's gorgeous! and like back then, i am also frozen in place....i'm still so shocked to see him suddenly!! how did he have time to come to kyoto suddenly?? i'm so happy to see him!!

and toma walks over to me and lightly touches me on the small of my back. his gentle touch!! the contact makes me let out an almost inaudible sigh and slightly arch my back... toma notices my reaction and looks down and smiles to himself. and he gestures for me to follow him to a quiet corner of the bookstore, where the bookshelves kinda block us from view....i quickly look around to see if anyone is looking at us, and then follow him there...and we stand close to each other and whisper...

me: toma...how did you...did you just come?

toma: (pouts cutely) i just came in a little while ago. but you looked busy, and i didn't want to bother you, so....

me: but you said you'd be busy filming today....

toma: (purses his lips) because it was raining today, we couldn't shoot some scenes outside....and since we've been working so hard, the director let us go home early today. and so, i immediately got on the shinkansen to come here to see you.

me: (touched) toma....yokkata~ (look at him lovingly...) i'm so glad i can finally see you!

toma: (smiles, sweetly) me too...when can you leave?

me: umm...(i look at my watch. it's 7:10pm now) in about an hour. but maybe i can leave early, i'll try asking her!

toma: no, it's ok...i have some things i need to go buy anyway.....

me: oh...

toma: (hesitant) ano....what time does hanashi-san usually come home at night....

me: eh....around 10. she usually goes to have a late dinner and some drinks with her friends, after she closes the bookstore around 8.

toma: (smiles and lightly holds my hand) ii ne...we can have the apartment to ourselves for a while before she comes home tonight...

me: (i stare at the floor, *blushing furiously*, softly~) uh....hai....

toma: i'll come back in one hour and take you to a nice place to eat dinner...and then take you home.

me: (smiling and nodding) mm...

and i notice...the necklace i gave him. he's wearing it under his t-shirt right now, but i can see it showing a little above his collar. ~_~

toma: demo, before i leave...

he takes a step over, stands beside me, so close that our shoulders are touching now. and he takes off his hat. toma...are you thinking what i think you're thinking...?? and he looks around to make sure no one's looking ...opens the big magazine to a random page and holds it up close to our faces....hiding us from view for a moment.

he smiles sweetly, his eyes drifting down to my lips before he leans over...i close my eyes and move forward to meet him...our lips touch. mm...it's a short but tender kiss...it's over before i know it, but it still makes my knees weak.♥ toma pulls back and smiles...we can't help looking at each other a little longer...and then...

toma: (puts his hat back on, hands the magazine to me, cheerfully~) ja ne!
me: (softly) ja ne~

he gives me a flirty wink and smile before turning around and heading for the door. ahhhhhhhh. that was a good~ kiss. and after so long, too....and after that, time seems to pass by at an agonizingly slow pace!! i keep checking my watch and each time, only a few minutes have passed!!

somehow...i get through that long, seemingly endless hour and didn't mess up too much either....and when i stepped outside, toma was standing there, waiting for me. he took me to a cozy little restaurant. the dark lighting and cute little booths...ii ne! we sat in one booth in a particularly dark and quiet corner of the restaurant....of course the food was delicious, but i was distracted the whole time by how close he was sitting next to me... our legs would accidentally touch sometimes (and i'm wearing a skirt). and he smells so nice...so sweet and....yummy. i try hard not to get excited...baka, remember where you are!

but i can't help but notice that he seems to get more handsome each time i see him...he's so beautiful. his thick, lustrous hair, that is now its natural black color...his soft bangs that are always perfectly swept over his forehead...his neat, light eyebrows...his beautiful, shining, soulful eyes that are such a deep brown and where his emotions show the most....his soft cheeks...his large but cute nose, with a slight curve to it that seems to point to....his alluring lips. ah....the lips i want to kiss again and again...so soft and full, at times he looks like he's pouting even when he's not. and i can't help thinking about how toma is such a good kisser....and how he can make my whole body all tingly from just kissing me....i love how he slightly tilts his head and gently presses his lips against mine...love how he holds me closer and would often run his fingers through my hair or lightly touch the back of my neck as we kiss....

but i somehow managed to not think about how incredibly irresistible he is as we ate dinner...it helps when he's often smiling so cutely at me, so that i don't think of him as sexy toma...but cute and adorable, just-want-to-hug-him-like-a-teddy-bear, toma. ~_~ ....and we talked about everything....what he's been up to, what i've been doing...what i think about life in kyoto...(though we've already talked about all this on the phone and by email and texts....) random funny things that happened to us lately....what songs we love right now....how it's been raining a lot, and how weird the weather's been lately....

once we finish our dinner and were waiting for the check, toma absentmindedly played with the necklace i gave him....and then he remembers...he takes it off and takes my hand and drops it in my palm.

toma: (sweetly) i said that you could wear it again when we're together, remember?

me: (i smile...) hai.... (ahh...it's still warm....toma smiles as i put it on. and he lightly touches the "I", his fingers brushing over my shirt a little...)



it's 9:45 pm by the time we reach the apartment. i completely lost track of time! i thought we should get back at least around 9pm, so we could have more alone time together....but now she'll be home soon.... but toma is impressed that the apartment is so big and nice....."sugoi! so stylish and cool", he says. i already sent him some pics of it and my room, but it's different when he's actually here ne. hai....it's one of the reasons i like it here so much, besides that hayashi-san is so easygoing and kind. toma looks around the big living room and then turns back to me and looks at me lovingly....he comes closer, smiles and hugs me tight...lifts me off the ground! spins me around a few times, and i can't help laughing happily...he puts me down and gives me a nice long kiss....mm...!!

toma: (pulls away and smiles. gently~) i've wanted to do this ever since i saw you in the bookstore today.

me: toma.....(i smile sweetly at him and give him a quick kiss on the cheek)

toma: (smiles, but then looks at his watch) yappe....we don't have much time left before she comes home....
