Summary: Hina makes Sexy Zone cry, leading to mandatory therapy sessions for all the debuted units.
Note: Thank you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spurious, for looking this over and for general awesomeness. ♥
To ensure the upkeep of their collective sanity, the managers of all debuted Johnny’s units meet once every other month at a designated location for drinking and bitching. It really should happen more often (if only for the sake of the managers of Arashi, who always wind up sprawled on the floor sobbing incomprehensibly about the healing power of rainbows, porn, and everlasting friendship), but because of the scheduling involved, it’s nearly impossible to make the meetings happen any more frequently.
However, exactly two weeks after the managers’ most recent meeting, Hina snaps and repeatedly tsukkomis all the members of Sexy Zone on live TV, making three of them cry and one run backstage to barricade himself in a dressing room. Immediately, the outraged mothers and aunts of Sexy Zone call in to the studio, baying for Hina’s blood. Sexy Zone’s manager responds to the families on Hina’s behalf as best he can, but as soon as he hangs up with the barely-pacified mother of eleven-year-old Marius (who, he doesn’t mention, has maaaybe kind of gotten stuck up in the rafters), he sends out a mass email begging the other managers for help.
Naturally, that turns into an emergency drinking party in Shibuya.
“Well,” Takki’s manager says. “That’s Murakami-kun.”
Hina’s manager nods, sheepish. “I talked to him after the show. He’s willing to apologize during his next scheduled appearance.”
“That should appease the families, right?” Aiba’s manager asks. “And maybe the fans?”
Ryo’s manager hums thoughtfully. “Probably, unless Murakami-kun was wearing his rings.”
Sexy Zone’s manager grimaces. Nagase’s manager pours him another shot.
“Did anyone manage to get Marius off the ceiling?” Okada’s manager asks.
Sexy Zone’s manager abandons the shot glass and picks up the bottle.
Yamapi’s manager pats him on the shoulder and says, “It’ll be okay. Isn’t it good that the members of Sexy Zone are learning about the challenges that come with this job early?”
“The challenge of keeping one’s composure in difficult situations,” Hina’s manager says, nodding.
“The challenge of ducking,” Ryo’s manager counters.
“Oh, relax,” Kis-My-Ft2’s manager says. “Getting a tsukkomi from Murakami-kun is a rite of passage. Every member of Kisumai’s gotten at least ten—a year—since they joined the company.”
“I think Sexy Zone got at least fifty between the five of them today,” Matsujun’s manager murmurs. Arashi’s other managers chuckle into their beer mugs.
Sexy Zone’s manager twitches and takes a bottle of shochu from Kame’s manager’s table.
“Well, Murakami-kun’s been under a great deal of stress lately,” Hina’s manager says.
Arashi’s managers go silent, lifting their heads as one and staring at him with force until Hina’s manager coughs and excuses himself to use the bathroom. Arashi’s managers go back to their drinks one by one, but Nino’s manager can’t quite snap out of it, mumbling to herself and squeezing her cell phone until Ohno’s manager pries her fingers loose and replaces the phone with a squishable GANTZ stress ball. Whenever she squeezes it, the weapons chambers pop out.
“It’s been a particularly rough year for everyone,” TegoMass’s manager says. “And with the end of the year activities happening so soon, I think all the talents are feeling more on-edge than usual.”
NEWS’s manager hums agreement and confesses, “Kato-kun poured his water bottle all over the crotch of a life-size cutout of Yamashita-kun. And then giggled to himself for half an hour.”
Tsubasa’s manager adds, “Tsubasa-kun bought eleven new cleaning appliances last week and then locked himself in his house to clean for two days straight.”
“Aiba-chan’s trying to increase his stamina by running throughout the night in a cheetah costume.”
“Senga-kun’s been having a recurring nightmare that he’s being chased by horny sea turtles with the heads of TOKIO.”
The GANTZ stress ball bursts.
Kame’s manager lifts her eyebrows. “I think all of them need therapy,” she says.
Hina’s manager says, “I think we need it more. But yeah, let’s start with Murakami-kun.”

NAME OF PATIENT(S): Murakami Shingo
HAYASHIDA: Do you think you have trouble with aggression?
MURAKAMI: I’m not aggressive.
HAYASHIDA: It says here that you beat the children of Sexy Zone on a live television program.
MURAKAMI: I wasn’t beating them! It was a tsukkomi!
HAYASHIDA: Repeatedly.
MURAKAMI: It was deserved.
HAYASHIDA: What were these multiple tsukkomi in response to?
MURAKAMI: Their name.
HAYASHIDA: “Sexy Zone”?
MURAKAMI: That’s right.
HAYASHIDA: Did someone bring up the name?
MURAKAMI: No, it’s just been bothering me. It’s a stupid name.
HAYASHIDA: Did the members of Sexy Zone choose that name?
MURAKAMI: …Nnno, but I can’t exactly tsukkomi Johnny-san.
HAYASHIDA: So you projected your frustration onto the members of Sexy Zone?
MURAKAMI: Sure.
HAYASHIDA: I also have some written complaints here.
MURAKAMI: From whom?
HAYASHIDA: They’re anonymous.
MURAKAMI: …Let me see the handwriting.
HAYASHIDA: They’re typed. The first one says: “Murakami-kun has ignored numerous charges against his unprovoked violence. In the future, I believe he should be put through a circuit of Arashi-based member love training.”
MURAKAMI: …
HAYASHIDA: The next says: “He made me bite my tongue last week. And the week before. And the week before that. And the—”
MURAKAMI: Well, if he didn’t keep making weird faces with his tongue out that wouldn’t happen!
HAYASHIDA: Um.
MURAKAMI: What?
HAYASHIDA: The next says: “I like it.”
MURAKAMI: …
HAYASHIDA: So does this one. And this one.
MURAKAMI: …Sure. They love it when I hit them. They ask me to do it with rings on.
HAYASHIDA: Really.
MURAKAMI: That’s normal, right?

HAYASHIDA: No, no, it’s all right. I was just surprised to get a call from my brother about the change in schedule. How do you know him?
TAKIZAWA: How? Huh. Well, he’s the brother of a stage manager I once worked with.
SHIBUTANI: …Let me see your contacts list.
TAKIZAWA: Eh?
SHIBUTANI: Never mind.
HAYASHIDA: So, gentlemen—
SHIBUTANI: I’m sorry to interrupt but, uh. They’re…not in my unit.
HAYASHIDA: No, they’re not, that’s true. An anonymous source felt there were some lingering frustrations from when you were younger that you may not have had the opportunity to air out.
SHIBUTANI: No. None.
TAKIZAWA: I’m fine.
IMAI: Mm.
HAYASHIDA: Imai-san?
IMAI: Hm?
HAYASHIDA: Are you all right?
IMAI: [nod]
HAYASHIDA: Can you speak?
IMAI: …
SHIBUTANI: [snicker]
HAYASHIDA: Shibutani-san, is there something funny?
SHIBUTANI: Yeth.
IMAI: [scowl]
TAKIZAWA: Subaru.
SHIBUTANI: Thorry.
IMAI: [sigh] This is kind of a recurring thing.
SHIBUTANI: I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Truth?
IMAI: …
SHIBUTANI: Truce, I mean, truth! Truce! I’m not doing it on purpose now, I swear, I’m just nervous. You look scary when you’re pissed off, Tsubasa-kun.
HAYASHIDA: This is the lingering frustration you meant, Takizawa-san?
IMAI: Hide-kun!
TAKIZAWA: Yes, it is. Subaru, you have to stop making jokes about Tsubasa’s enunciation.
HAYASHIDA: …There aren’t any…other problems? Maybe some tension related to you, Takizawa-san?
TAKIZAWA: Me? No, not at all. Why would there be tension because of me?
SHIBUTANI: …
IMAI: …[facepalm]
HAYASHIDA: Is this also recurring?
IMAI/SHIBUTANI: Yes.
TAKIZAWA: …

NINOMIYA: …I don’t follow.
HAYASHIDA: Well, I’ve heard some…interesting things about the two of you specifically—
NINOMIYA: Yeah, we’re a thing. So?
OHNO: [nod]
HAYASHIDA: I felt that this wouldn’t be relevant to the rest of the group.
NINOMIYA: There are five people in this marriage, sir.
OHNO: [nod]

HAYASHIDA: Aren’t those for Ohno-kun?

JOSHIMA: That's fine. We're enjoying it.

As Johnny skims through the transcripts, Hayashida says, “Following the transcripts is a full report based on my observations along with suggestions for the future.”
Johnny nods and feeds the documents through the shredder by his desk. Hayashida gapes, his voice lost, as Johnny proceeds to open the lid of the shredder and pour in the dregs of his coffee.
“Thank you for giving this your best effort,” Johnny says. “Please take a free sample of Akanishi-kun’s ‘Test Drive’ on your way out.”
“I…I. That’s it?”
“Yes,” Johnny says. “They’re about as crazy as they should be. Have a nice day, Doctor.”

TAKIZAWA: How? Huh. Well, he’s the brother of a stage manager I once worked with.
SHIBUTANI: …Let me see your contacts list.
TAKIZAWA: Eh?
SHIBUTANI: Never mind.
HAYASHIDA: So, gentlemen—
SHIBUTANI: I’m sorry to interrupt but, uh. They’re…not in my unit.

TAKIZAWA: Subaru.
SHIBUTANI: Thorry.
IMAI: [sigh] This is kind of a recurring thing.
SHIBUTANI: I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Truth?
IMAI: …
SHIBUTANI: Truce, I mean, truth! Truce! I’m not doing it on purpose now, I swear, I’m just nervous. You look scary when you’re pissed off, Tsubasa-kun.
HAYASHIDA: This is the lingering frustration you meant, Takizawa-san?
IMAI: Hide-kun!
TAKIZAWA: Yes, it is. Subaru, you have to stop making jokes about Tsubasa’s enunciation.
HAYASHIDA: …There aren’t any…other problems? Maybe some tension related to you, Takizawa-san?
TAKIZAWA: Me? No, not at all. Why would there be tension because of me?
SHIBUTANI: …
IMAI: …[facepalm]
HAYASHIDA: Is this also recurring?
IMAI/SHIBUTANI: Yes.
TAKIZAWA: …

As Johnny skims through the transcripts, Hayashida says, “Following the transcripts is a full report based on my observations along with suggestions for the future.”
Johnny nods and feeds the documents through the shredder by his desk. Hayashida gapes, his voice lost, as Johnny proceeds to open the lid of the shredder and pour in the dregs of his coffee.
“Thank you for giving this your best effort,” Johnny says. “Please take a free sample of Akanishi-kun’s ‘Test Drive’ on your way out.”
“I…I. That’s it?”
“Yes,” Johnny says. “They’re about as crazy as they should be. Have a nice day, Doctor.”

I really can't remember the last time I've read a fanfiction that made me laugh so much!
That's just the right amount of insanity...
“Did anyone manage to get Marius off the ceiling?”
CEILING!? o.o I actually went ahead and looked the word up in the dictionary to check if there was some strange second translation of that word I just didn't know xD! Poor boy...
“Kato-kun poured his water bottle all over the crotch of a life-size cutout of Yamashita-kun. And then giggled to himself for half an hour.”
Shige, you rule! That's what they teach at Aoyama!
“Senga-kun’s been having a recurring nightmare that he’s being chased by horny sea turtles with the heads of TOKIO.”
I don't even know how to comment that. That's scary. And disturbing. I hope he'll recover soon.
SHIBUTANI: WE WATCH PORN TOGETHER. THAT’S NORMAL!
YOKOYAMA: WITH COLLARS AND CHAINS ON?
SHIBUTANI: WE’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR HOBBIES.
Ooooh, yes. They're only passionate xD!
I won't quote the next part because it's too long, but I love how 4/5 of kat-tun and smap just skipped xD! Best part by the way: “Nakai-san, please stop laughing.” That sums their feelings up pretty good.
Kanjani∞ smile at them.
And smile.
And smile.
“It’s nice to debut so quickly, isn’t it,” Yoko says.
“It’s so nice, it’s sexy,” Subaru says.
Hina shows his teeth.
Traumatized for life. I hope Marius didn't need to be scratched off of the ceiling again.
“I don’t talk about feelings; I’m a man. I just walked you here because I’m also a gentleman. Peace.”
Kokiii~ xD I'd like to marry him =)
HAYASHIDA: Kato-san, if we try the hug again, will you bite him again?
KATO: I told you, he got in the way of a yawn.
I'd like to try using that excuse in my real life, haha!
Shigeeee~
Now I'm stuck. I want to marry Koki... but I also want to marry Shige. Maybe I can have both?
TEGOSHI: I’m glad you felt comfortable enough to talk about that, Ichiro.
HAYASHIDA: [sniff]
TEGOSHI: I’m sorry. I have to leave now, but I’ll be back next week for our next appointment.
Wow o.o …. what's his angle? He would never waste time he could use for a make-out session with Massu just for being nice and listening to some therapist cry, would he? And what's with calling him by his first name xD!
KOKUBUN: So you didn't mean to tell Tegoshi-kun all of that?
HAYASHIDA: Not at all. But he's very persuasive.
KOKUBUN: Ahh, I see.
HAYASHIDA: And he's very good at asking...questions.
Yes, that's Tegoshi. I think I know his intention know. He just needed new ideas fo him and Massu and hoped that maybe a few members would tell the therapist some... details of their private life.
Johnny nods and feeds the documents through the shredder by his desk. Hayashida gapes, his voice lost, as Johnny proceeds to open the lid of the shredder and pour in the dregs of his coffee.
“Thank you for giving this your best effort,” Johnny says. “Please take a free sample of Akanishi-kun’s ‘Test Drive’ on your way out.”
And that's Johnny. A master of marketing.

Wow o.o …. what's his angle? He would never waste time he could use for a make-out session with Massu just for being nice and listening to some therapist cry, would he? And what's with calling him by his first name xD!

Thank you for such detailed feedback! :D
