valmorauntitled Gokusen 2 snippet, Ryu/Take, Ryu/Hayato implied, ~200 words, PG-13/worksafe-ish, I make no money from this so please don't sue as I wrote it for my own amusement, boys macking on each other, not really spoilers.
You don’t get between a dog and its food. Keita knows this. Likewise, you never get between two guys who want to fight unless you don’t mind getting hit. This he knows from experience, with not a few bruises and more than a few tablespoons of blood to prove it.
By extension, you never, ever, get between a guy and the girl – or guy – he wants to fuck. For the same reason.
And this is why Keita is an idiot. Because any girl – and this is probably the biggest downside to all-boys schools, no girls – could probably have told him that the more someone hates-loves a person, probably the more they want in their pants.
If Keita had known that last year, he never would have let Ryu kiss him. Because Hayato owns Ryu. And when you realize halfway through making out with a guy that he sure isn’t thinking of you – like he starts saying someone else’s name – well. You get the picture.
Keita got it. He never said anything to Ryu, because, well, not his problem if Ryu and Hayato think they’d rather mess each other up than mess around with each other. Their loss. Definitely not his gain. And it wasn’t like he’d been real into Ryu, not like he’d been for Kaori, before that.

Date: 2009-01-04 01:08 pm (UTC)RE: your LJ cut text. I always figured Hayato was Ryu's bitch, so to speak, since Hayato may be class leader but Ryu stands one rung higher up the ladder. Or something like that.
Aww, poor Take. He's just so...squishy. He'd never survive if Hayato started in on him over Ryu.
not his problem if Ryu and Hayato think they’d rather mess each other up than mess around with each other.
I'm pretty sure this is how their group of five works. The three long-suffering friends who have to put up with their two leaders alternately trying to kill each other and having some sort of incredibly unsubtle courtship ritual.

Date: 2009-01-04 07:37 pm (UTC)I'd prefer it to be a changing power dynamic, because they seem to have rather different power structures? I mean, Hayato very clearly gets his energy/authority from the fact that's he's friends with the rest of the class, whereas I feel like Ryu has his authority because he's outside of that network to a certain extent, with this touch-point of Hayato-Take-Tsucchi-Hyuga-tachi. But I guess he wouldn't have power if nobody gave it to him? So maybe he does derive his influence from the regard of the rest of that group, in which case, you're right, he's getting it from Hayato.
He'd never survive if Hayato started in on him over Ryu.
No, no he wouldn't. This is why he gets to team up with Tsucchi. XDDD
HE IS BIG-EYED AND SQUISHY. I WANT A PLUSHIE OF HIM. (please tell me there aren't Take plushies? I'm sure there are plushies of Koike Teppei, because Japan is that kind of place, but)
(and a plushie of him would be my squishy? wait wait.)

I'm sure somebody could write an amazing fic in which Hyuga, Take, and Tsucchi get together and are like, "This needs to stop. We are so sick of them channeling their sexual frustration into wanting to hit each other in the face. It is time that they wake up. We think...this calls for an intervention. And then maybe they'll spend enough time in bed with each other that we'll be able to get ALL THE GIRLS."
(I think the "trying to kill each other" bit is PART of the courtship ritual.)

Date: 2009-01-05 05:53 pm (UTC)True. Let me rephrase: Ryu stands one rung higher on the next ladder along.
please tell me there aren't Take plushies?
Just because I've never seen one doesn't mean they don't exist, especially since, as you say, Japan is that kind of place. If no official ones, there are bound to be fanmade ones out there. Have you ever seen Dragonzakura? Koike Teppei is kinda squishy in that too, only with pink hair, a Union Jack shirt, and rather more energy than Take.

Volunteering? I see your creative juices have been flowing lately - there were new snippets on my f-list this morning, which I will shortly go and read. Hyuga will never get the girls, though - he dresses too much like a host. There's always one guy...

Of course; how silly of me to forget. It's not love until somebody gets a split lip.

I wonder if there are plushie tutorials? In English, I mean.

All the Yukan Club stuff I actually wrote in December while waiting for Yuletide to go live - it was pretty much all inspired by the Yuletide fic. Although I'm still working on the AdorableYukanMunchlets!fic, with pregnant Noriko and Yuri, and in which no one listens to Miroku.
he dresses too much like a host.
In other words, he's more likely to get the kind of women who aren't afraid to pay for his services. Poor Hyuuga. *patpat* Someone will clearly have to give him fashion advice *cough

This is like the motto of Gokusen 2, seriously. Even canonically.

Well, Miroku is not exactly the most intimidating potential gang boss ever...

Or perhaps not if you consider the age of Gokusen's target audience.

They could never promote it like that, though - it sounds like the entire series is about abusive relationships, really...

Date: 2009-01-07 07:45 pm (UTC)I'm at about 90% of getting it from there. And thanks for the heads-up on quality; I'll try to grit my teeth in case of not-liking it (because Koike Teppei is pretty and adorable, but he will not keep me watching a series I don't like).

Oh! I forgot! I wrote that one! It's awful, but I wrote it. I'll see if I can't post it in a little bit.

They don't have to show it in the show. You only have to know about it. Like how we know that Karen is going to end up married to a long succession of extremely elderly husbands, and end up with like five or six kids by the time she's thirty. That's not something you'd see on television. Or at least, not on television using actors acting.
