Today, I'm doing a request of Jin x Tachikawa-which is funny, since I was planning to write this out anyway... I ship them so much ;^; they're so cute together! For the next chapter, my dear guest, I'll do Kitora x Arashiyama. Thank you so much for reviewing!

Tachikawa and Jin were always what others would call friendly rivals. They would compete with each other, no matter what situation they were in. In the second large-scale invasion, they competed to see who could kill the most neighbors (Tachikawa won, because Jin got sidetracked by Hyuse halfway through). When they were out eating ramen with Yosuke and Midorikawa, they raced to see who could finish their ramen first. During an away mission, when their away ship was broken and being fixed and the group was under attack by Neighbors, they competed to see who could find the quickest way to kill the attackers.

Tachikawa's favorite hobby was trying to disprove Jin's Side Effect, which he adamantly denied being jealous of. Whenever Jin made a prediction, Tachikawa would go out of his way to try to change the future, which never worked. Jin had really thought Tachikawa would be smart enough to realize this after his seventy-sixth attempt, which had ended with a half-cooked egg falling on Tachikawa's head (long story). However, Tachikawa apparently lacked enough intellect to learn this information, and awaited eagerly for the seventy-seventh attempt.

"You're an idiot," Jin told Tachikawa, after the idiot had come and challenged him to read the future again. Nearby, Miwa edged slowly away, having learned the hard way to stay away from the pair when they were in this sort of mood (traumatizing story involving a half-eaten red bean pancake).

Tachikawa, oblivious to Miwa's departure, scoffed. "If your side effect is really correct, then where will I go in the next hour?"

Jin smiled. "Too easy, Tachikawa-san! You'll go to the control room." Just then, Jin saw a flash of an... odd scene. "Errmm, and also there's going to be something very, very weird happening to us in about two hours..." he added.

"Really? What is it?" Tachikawa asked curiously. What could it possibly be, that would break Jin's normally calm demeanor and cause him to blush and go red?

"I'll probably learn another embarrassing childhood event that happened to him," Tachikawa thought gleefully. That must be it!"

"Never mind, Jin! I think I know what's going to happen in the future already!" Tachikawa said gleefully, "I'll know all of your deepest, darkest secrets! YES! Blackmail ti-" he was abruptly cut off as Jin shoved him into the wall good-naturedly.

"You're an idiot," Jin repeated, "You really can't tell the future at all."

"Whaaaaa? I got the future spot on!" Tachikawa protested and leaped at Jin. When Kunichika came into the room to grab something, she discovered Tachikawa and Jin simultaneously strangling each other.

"Okay, that's enough!" Kunichika said, clapping her hands calmly. Being the operator for Tachikawa Squad, she was fairly used to this sort of thing happening and knew the perfect way to deal with it. "I have some red bean pancakes in the other room. So stop trying to commit homicide and go enjoy your snack."

"Red bean pancake?" Jin and Tachikawa let go of each others' necks and jumped to their feet. "Yes!" Jin yelled as he shoved Tachikawa, sending the teen sprawling, and raced off in the direction of the red bean pancakes.

"No fair! You cheated!" Tachikawa whined, running after Jin.

-timeskip-

Jin was sure that the future he had seen for Tachikawa was just a fluke in his side effect from earlier. He contemplated this as he sat on the roof. Tachikawa never came up here, and according to his Side Effect (which he had already decided that he just imagined it) the event concerning Tachikawa and himself would happen in five minutes. There was no way that Tachikawa-

"Jin! Save me!"

"Gyaaaah!" Jin whipped around, nearly falling off the roof in the process, to come face-to-face with the very person he was just thinking would never come up here.

"Oh, you are fucking kidding me..." Jin thought to himself. Sure, he like Kei, but he wasn't really sure how much. A lot? Enough? As friends? Or... more?

"Why are you up here?" Jin asked, shaking himself from his thoughts. "Did you eat Kazama's steamed potato again?"

"Jin, you have to save me!" Tachikawa sobbed, shaking the poor teen, "It was just one potato! One potato and he comes at me with these demon glowy red eyes- wait, you can see the future! Do I get caught by Kazama?"

Unfortunately for Jin, he not only saw a pissed off Kazama beating up Tachikawa a few hours into the future, but in two minutes something else would happen that did not involve anybody else besides the two of them, alone on the roof. He tried hard to act normal

"Hey, hey, I thought my Side Effect "is always faulty" and "never works"?" Jin quoted from the numerous times that Kei had argued with him over the accuracy of his Side Effect.

"Just tell me, damnit!" Kei snapped playfully as he shook Jin harder.

"Hey watch it-" Just then, Tachikawa was about to step back when he tripped on a bag of rice crackers, which shot out from under him and off the roof. Tachikawa, still grabbing Jin by the shoulders, lost his balance and fell backwards, pulling Jin with him.

"Ahhh!" Tachikawa hit the ground, letting go of Jin, but it was too late. Jin fell forwards and just managed to catch himself by sheer luck, when his hands landed on either side of Tachikawa's head. Then, because fate hated them, the door to the roof opened and a pissed off Kazama walked through... only to see Jin on top of Tachikawa, their faces inches apart, on the edge of the roof. The young, spiky-haired boy stared for a moment, as Jin and Tachikawa stared back, before Kazama recovered from his shock, glared at Tachikawa, and then backed up, closing the door. They heard footsteps receding, and heard Kazama gagging as he walked rapidly away from the roof.

Meanwhile, both of them still frozen in shock at everything that had happened in the space of thirty seconds.

"Jin."

Jin's head snapped to face the attacker, whose face was inches apart from his. "Oh yeah, sorry," he said, and moved to get up.

"Stay here," Tachikawa grinned as he grabbed Jin's collar, pulling him back down.

"Hey-" Jin started, before Tachikawa suddenly yanked his collar, jerking Jin down and kissing him.

About, two seconds later, the door to the roof opened again and Izumi and Yoneya poked their heads in. "Is it true-" Izumi began, before he saw the two attackers still in a liplock.

"Oh," he finished lamely, and just as suddenly as they appeared, Izumi and Yosuke disappeared.

"Well? How was that?" Tachikawa grinned up at Jin, who smirked lazily back.

"About six out of ten, I'd say," Jin decided. "I would have been able to kiss so much better than that."

Tachikawa's eyes narrowed. "Oh yeah? Then let's bring that up to a ten." he said, pulling Jin back down again.

Hey guys, as a postscript, which do you prefer? Seme Tachikawa or Jin? I personally think that both of them would be seme, but would that work in a relationship?
