Nagoya Days

AU where Keiji got together in Nagoya unexpectedly. Drunk!Akaso appears and Machida realizing he is the real Kurosawa all along🤭

{1}

Akaso was rubbing Ponta’s belly when his phone buzzed. He saw a familiar name pop up on his screen.

1 notification from keita_machida_official.

He grabbed his phone, and opened Machida’s Insta message. He smiled as soon as he saw a photo of his handsome friend posing in front of a building that he could recognize from a mile away.

“Akaso-kun! Guess where I am? wwww” Machida’s message read.

It’s the Aichi Toho University main entrance hall.

“You gotta be kidding me! Are you shooting there today?” Akaso typed frantically, eager to know Machida’s answer.

At the backseat of a rented Toyota cruiser, a tall handsome man beamed as he read messages on his phone.

“Bingo!” Machida exclaimed, typing the same word as a reply to Insta user akasoeiji.

Machida looked at his phone fondly as he waited for his friend’s reply. Any interaction with the charming Akaso-kun, his co-star turned close friend, never failed to lift up his mood. It’s been a while since he last chatted with him. Was it almost 2 months already? He tried to remember. Even though they promised to keep in touch, they both had been very busy after the Cherry Magic movie promotions ended, as new projects started taking up most of their schedules.

“Seriously??? I’m here too! At my parent’s house” Akaso replied.

Machida, in his sudden excitement, almost dropped his phone at the edge of his car seat. His manager was driving him back to his hotel after his filming schedule. It had been a pretty busy, tiresome day. He had just flown into Nagoya that morning, met the production team and shot his scenes at Akaso-kun’s university. He was supposed to fly back to Tokyo right after, but he asked his manager to give him one more day to go around the city. He got some pretty good recommendations (restaurants, mostly) from Akaso-kun during their CM filming days. Has the time finally come for him to experience it himself?

“Can I come over? I’m done for the day. :p ”

Machida replied, not expecting anything. Akaso may already have plans. Although… he wished it wasn’t the case. After all, wouldn’t it be nice to see Akaso-kun again? He thought.

It’s been a minute since he sent his last message. He checked his Insta again.

“akasoeiji is typing…”

Machida felt a bit nervous. For some weird reason, this felt like the longest 60 seconds of his life.

“Of course! How about dinner? 8pm?”

Akaso sent him a Google address pin.

It’s past 6pm, and Machida only had a couple more hours left before meeting Akaso-kun. He mentally listed things he had to prepare. Grinning from ear to ear, he replied,

“I’ll be there! :)”

–---

“Ojamashimasu!” Machida exclaimed as he entered Akaso’s home.

Akaso waved at him, looking as handsome as ever even in his casual clothes. He was wearing some loose gray-ish pants and a white shirt, a towel on his right shoulder. His hair seemed wet, like he just got out of the bath.

Machida blushed at the thought.

“Irasshaimase!” Akaso chirped, making a welcome gesture to Machida. He imitated a butler bowing in front of his master.

Machida grinned. He felt relieved, seeing Akaso make his silly little jokes just like when they were on set or on promo schedules before. He felt their bond was still as close as ever, even if they hadn’t seen each other in months.

“Hai, kore~ Your omiyage!” Machida said sweetly, as he handed Akaso a top of the line, 18+yrs whisky bottle, beautifully wrapped inside a fancy paper bag.

“Eh? You shouldn’t have. Where did you find the time to buy this?”

Akaso exclaimed, pleasantly surprised as he admired the elegant bottle of Glenfiddich in his hand. It’s one of his favorite whisky brands (although, he didn’t remember telling Machida this). He could already imagine himself having a drink or two later as a nightcap.

Akaso thought he’d been so lucky today. First, his shoot ended earlier than expected, which finally prompted him to give himself a 3-day vacation after almost 6 weeks of him working without any break.

Second, he didn’t expect to meet any of his friends on this trip except his family. Everyone is out of town, or already had plans. In any case, spending time with his parents and Ponta is enough for him.

So this - seeing his dear friend taking off his shoes, and putting on the house sleepers only relatives or extremely close family friends use was a totally unexpected sight for him.

During the Cherry Magic movie promotions, Akaso and Machida always talked about visiting each other’s hometown’s one day, if and when their schedule cleared up, but their free time never did come often. The world conqueror, handsome to bits Machida visiting him at his parent’s home, much less bringing him a really nice present, never occurred to him as a reality until now. Akaso was delighted at the sudden realization.

“I have my ways, and you know I’ll never visit your place empty-handed!”

Machida confidently said in a very matter of fact tone, while his right hand made a wagging gesture. Of course, no one will ever catch him visiting someone’s home without bringing anything (he liked to think that he had been brought up well), most especially Akaso-kun’s home.

“Sankyu, Keita!” Akaso gave him a warm smile. Machida felt as if he had just been enveloped in a warm hug. Only his family and closest friends called him Keita, and Akaso is one of them. His sweet, mischievous angel Akaso kun. He felt all his tiredness from his schedule today gone – just like that. He can’t believe how lucky he was, finally getting the chance to meet Akaso-kun like this.

“Keita?? Earth to Keita. Don’t tell me you’re in Kurosawa mode again?” Akaso snickered.

He started snapping his fingers beside Machida’s left ear. He found it funny that there were moments that Machida would freeze, lost in his thoughts for a brief second before coming back to reality. Just like Kurosawa, his love interest in Cherry Magic.

Machida suddenly looked at him, his intense eyes locking with his own. For that brief heart-stopping moment, Akaso felt as if he was Adachi again. Without skipping another beat, the tall, handsome ikemen who entered his house smiled and asked, “So, what’s for dinner?”

“Lucky Keita! Ponta really likes you!”

Akaso said enviously, as he gave Machida a side eye. His furbaby is lying down Machida’s lap, its face buried on his friend's stomach.

“Whenever I visit home, it takes a while for him to recognize me. How come it’s different with you? He just met you today for God’s sake. Why? So unfair!”

Akaso pouted, cutely if one could say so. That one is Machida Keita.

The dimmed night lights created a relaxed, warm atmosphere at Akaso’s home. It’s almost aesthetic, how the tall Glenfiddich bottle stood elegantly on Akaso’s dining room table, its liquid content cut perfectly in the middle. Machida’s glass had been barely untouched (he prefers wine, and also he knew Akaso wanted the whisky all to himself), while Akaso held his glass, twirling it with his left hand as he stroked Ponta’s fur. He seemed to be enjoying himself, Machida thought. Akaso looked cuter than usual, his cheeks were turning red. The hardworking sunshine probably had too much whisky already.

Machida felt happy, spending time with Akaso like this. It also goes without saying, Machida had a great time at dinner earlier. Akaso’s parents had been so welcoming and the food tasted great too. They had homemade Chashu ramen, one of Akaso’s mother specialties.

He kept teasing Akaso by asking him to say “Chashu” multiple times until his friend realized it was his line in their Super Rich drama. Akaso fought back and called him “freezawa”, a term he discovered fans were using whenever Kurosawa froze in front of Adachi.

Machida pretended he didn’t know what Akaso was talking about.

But for some inexplicable reason, he felt a bit uneasy as the night went on. Akaso’s cheeks gradually turned from pinkish to tomato red, and Machida couldn’t seem to take his eyes off him. Especially when Akaso laughed with his head back, as he recalled a funny story to him, his speech sometimes slurring. And then, now Machida found himself blushing furiously as Akaso stroked Ponta, sleeping on his lap. Machida felt the room becoming too hot.

“Maybe you should stay over? It’s late.” Akaso said, gesturing at the clock near the living room.

Machida was taken aback, albeit excited at the thought.

“I shouldn’t. I already bothered you too much today.” Machida replied, his voice sounding regretful as soon as he said it.

“C’mon! You’re never a bother at all! I’m so glad you came today.” Akaso said happily, with his eyes half closed, tipsy as hell.

It’s Machida’s first time to see Akaso drunk, even if they had after parties for CM before, Akaso didn’t drink a lot at all. So it was surprising, and a bit unnerving to see a man as charming and calm as Akaso look a little bit helpless, a bit of a mess in front of him.

“Where’s your room, Akaso-kun? I’ll take you there and I’ll get going afterwards.”

Machida quickly said, before he changed his mind.

“No, no! Don’t worry about me Keita, I’ll take myself to bed after I see you off.” Akaso said with a straight face, his cheeks still glowingly red like ripe tomatoes.

Suddenly, without any warning, Akaso got up from where he was sitting. Purely on reflex, Machida stood up too, his hands extended near Akaso. He was worried Akaso kun might pass out at any minute. Ponta, who was already awake, sniffed Akaso as he wagged his tail happily beside him.

Akaso started making his way to the front door, walking like the drunk man that he was, with Machida trailing behind him a few steps away. Machida noticed Ponta’s chew toy on the floor, and immediately imagined Akaso tripping on it.

Thinking that Akaso could get hurt, Machida decided to grab him by the arm to stop his drunk friend from walking unto Ponta’s toy. The sudden pull made Akaso lose his balance, and he fell straight into Machida’s arms.

“Ah sorry!” Akaso said, his face buried in Machida’s chest. Machida felt Akaso’s hot breath on his shirt. The uneasiness he kept feeling earlier tripled, his heart kept thundering as loudly as it could.

“I hope Akaso doesn’t hear this,” Machida nervously thought.

Begrudgingly, he reminded himself that he is NOT fucking Kurosawa for God’s sakes. He knew he was fond of his co-star because of how amazingly cute and funny and kind he was, but it’s more of a brotherly, purely platonic kind of affection. Right???

As Machida tried to calm himself down, Akaso tried to stand up by holding onto Machida’s shirt.

“My bad, Akaso-kun! I thought you might trip so I tried to stop you!” Machida exclaimed, his hands trying to hold on to Akaso so he wouldn't fall.

“Keita!” The devastatingly cute drunk man called him.

“Hmm?”

“Should I ask you to take responsibility?” Akaso said in a sing-song manner, his eyes looking at Machida as if they were begging him to.

Machida felt his heart burst. Was Akaso-kun flirting with him?

Before he could get an answer, Akaso’s legs already gave in. Machida caught him mid-fall, their faces only an inch apart.

“Keita.” Akaso said, his eyes piercingly, seductively looking at Machida (at least in Machida’s memory).

“Akaso-kun”.

“Keita…”

“A-”

“I-”

Machida gulped. He couldn’t take it anymore. His lips were quivering as he looked at Akaso’s plush lips in front of him, waiting to be kissed.

He gripped Akaso’s arms, wishing he could gain courage from doing so. Machida closed his eyes.

And much to his dismay (and possibly relief?) at the tension finally breaking as his sweet mischievous angel vomited all over him, and passed out.

[ENG TRANS] Cherry Magic! Akaso Eiji’s letter to Machida Keita!

This segment was when Akaso Eiji read his letter to Machida Keita

✖ Please DO NOT repost my translations anywhere. If you saw any mistakes my twitter is open for corrections/discussion.

I uploaded this translation on twitter as well!

Translated by: Doru Proofread by: Ecs Video copy provided by Jeyu

Host: メッセージを書いてきて下さったんですよね H: You both wrote messages, didn’t you?

Akaso: はい A: Yes

H:ではそちらをお二人に読んでいただきたいと思います。では赤楚さんからよろしくおねがいします！ H: Well then, I’d like the two of you to read your messages. Akaso-san please go first.

Akaso: あーこの青い紙ですね。やぁぁ緊張するなこれのは Akaso: Ahh, this is blue paper, right? Huffff, I’m nervous.

Machida: いや、俺も緊張する何だろうw この感じになるとは M: Oh no, I’m starting to feel nervous too. I didn’t know it would feel like this www

Akaso:　思ってなかったですね？はい、町田啓太君へ。まず初めにこうやってメッセージを送ることが初めての経験で、ちょっと恥ずかしいです。町田くん、 A: We weren’t expecting it right? Alright, Machida Keita! First of all, it's my first time giving a message like this, so I’m a little embarrassed. Machida-kun,

Machida: はい！ M: Yes

Akaso:　初めて会った時爽やかで、それは当たり前なんですけど人柄もとても温かく素敵な人で黒さ…あ、素敵な人黒沢で撮影が楽しみだなっていうのを思い出しました。作品への向き合い方周りへの気遣いやリスペクトだったりあとお笑いを常に起こしてくれたり本当に人としても役者としてもとても好きになりました。町田くんに芝居のこととか薬のこといろんな相談事も親身になって聞いてくださって、まあ僕一人だったら潰れてたところ何度も疲れました。そんな優しさ町田くん黒沢で心から感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。僕自身この作品は宝物って形容してるんですけど町田君と出会えたこと一緒にお終いができたこと作品をつくる仲間になれたことそれが僕の中ですごく大きな宝物になりました。また、ご一緒できるように自分頑張ります

A: The first time I met you, you were eloquent, which was of course, a given, but besides that you also had a very warm personality and with Kurosa… Ah, and I remember looking forward to working with you as Kurosawa, who is a wonderful person. I really like you as a person and as an actor, because of how you deal with work, the way you care and respect the people around you, and how you always make me laugh.

Machida-kun was kind enough to listen to me when I asked him for advice about various things like plays and medicine. If I was alone, I would definitely feel crushed and tired a lot of times. From the bottom of my heart, I’m so grateful for the kindness of Machida-kun and Kurosawa.

I personally describe this film as a treasure, but the fact that I was able to meet you, that we were able to finish it together, and that we were able to become friends in making this film became a great treasure for me. I will do my best so that we can work together again.

Machida: うわぁーありがとう M: Wooow, thank you.

Akaso:　恥ずかしいですね A: It’s kind of embarrassing, right?

Machida: やぁー嬉しいですね。ありがとう M: No, not at all. I’m so happy. Thank you

Akaso:やぁーなかなかでもこうやって直接言葉を文にして文で伝えるって言うことがないので。 A: Well, it’s not easy, but it’s not often we get to directly convey our words in writing like this.

Machida:　確かに M: That’s true.

Akaso:　なんか気持ちいいことですよね A: So, I think it’s a nice feeling.

Machida:　やぁー単純に嬉しい言葉にしてよって貰って嬉しいし本当にやぁーなんだろうなんかじんときますねありがとうございます本当に M: Yeah, I feel really happy to receive such a straightforward, joyful message put into words. I’m not sure how to say it, but somehow it feels really touching. Thank you very much, really.
