Anyway, hope you enjoy the last part of the chapter with a short epilogue, douzo!~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A police in a casual garb approached Aiba and Sho but couldn't help to notice their other company walking in circles, "Will Ninomiya-san be okay?"

"Don't worry about him officer, he's only...thinking and uh, panicking at the same time."

"Huh, I see. Don't push yourselves especially him. He's not fully healed yet. If you spot him, alert us right away." he replied, his eyes still on the small man and left.

Sho turned their attention to that lithe man, "Nino...could you please–"

"Why the hell did you call the authorities? I didn't ask for protection and besides, we're not even sure if they'd be here!"

"They'll be here Nino! My gut tells me that they will!"

"I agree with Aiba-kun here. No worries, we had them track Ikuta Toma's location so that we can also find them in case they don't come here."

"How long will that take?"

"Shouldn't take long I suppose."

"That won't convince me. J and Oh-chan may have left the country by now!"

Aiba waved his hand high giddily as if in a class, "Oooh! I got that covered while Sho-chan is busy with the local authorities! I have a friend who works on managing those stuff and he happened to track their flight…which is tonight. We'll make sure they don't go on it!"

He opened his mouth but nothing; if it's this duo they can do anything–mostly silly but this one's quite impressive. "Wow, this could be one of the best moment I am thankful for."

"No problem Nino!"

Satoshi...I'll get you back so hang on!

The three were too occupied on their own that they didn't notice a man watching over an unconscious body being carried to the emergency room.

–––––––––––––––––

"He will be okay right?" asked Jun as he put his gas mask down. He was disguised in a blond wig with a black cap for not being found out. He knows that there's a chance that Nino may had come for help with the police already so he might as well take precaution.

The nurse was the one who answered to represent the doctor currently examining Ohno, pushing him backwards, "You have to wait outside for a while sir, the doctor will tell you the results in a moment."

They were out of the room shortly, "You didn't answer my question, miss."

"As far as we can see sir, he had a head injury that wasn't attended to right away so that itself is bad news. Plus, he had serious bruises to various parts of his body. What happened to him? Did he get into a fight?"

"Y-yeah. B-but the beatings weren't--"

"Hm, that may be true. Still, a blow is a blow. He either didn't defend himself properly or perhaps his body have reached its limit. May I inquire the patient's name?"

"I..." he muttered. There's no way he can't tell them his name. I could use the character he played back then.

"It's Tarui Shotaro. Found him being beat up by some…yakuzas."

"Yakuzas huh. Good thing you stopped them in time. We'll get back to you about his condition soon."

As the nurse walked back to the said room, Jun sat on one of the chairs across the reception desk, fidgeting. He didn't expect to go this way! The blunt objects used last night weren't enough to bring him down easily! Was it because beforehand he was constantly beating Ohno up?

It wasn't his fault, he was resisting and what better way to shut him up?

He closed his eyes and audibly sighed. He was being carried away by his anger too much. Those bottled-up feelings that he had sealed had broken free at once that he didn't have the chance to control them. Or it could be that he did have control over them–only initially.

If he’ll die...

"Excuse me nurse..."

Jun opened his eyes again only to find 2 people in front of him, their backs facing his.

"Were there any patients being brought in this past hour?"

A feminine voice, "Why yes. Quite a number I should say. Are you looking for someone?"

"Um yeah, it's Ohno S–"

One of the two smacked the other's left shoulder, "Sssh…Not so loud Aiba-kun..."

"Oops sorry."

His eyes are wide open now, realizing that the two people are Aiba and Sho. He felt glad that he didn't mention Ohno's true name here yet they must get out of here ASAP. But if they were here, could it be that...Nino is here too?

When the duo finally left and out of hindsight, Jun approached the reception clerk as well, “Excuse me, is there by chance of a patient under your care named Ninomiya Kazunari?"

"Oh, hold on a moment," then after pressing some buttons to her computer, "Yes. Ninomiya Kazunari was confined in this hospital due to bullet wounds and other injuries, early morning."

He managed to make an act, "Oh I've been looking for him; he's my friend. Do you know what room he is in?"

"It was on the 2nd floor but they've been transferred to...the topmost floor. Room 417."

He muttered a thanks and used the stairs to get to their location.

It's time to pay him a final visit.

Once he was on the said floor, he took a look at the corridor behind a wall to see if any people are around: there weren't any. Jun was about to find the room when his target went out of one of the rooms. He quickly followed Nino, trying not to get caught. Luckily, Nino doesn't notice anything (could be from the wounds he deserved well) and continued walking until they arrived at the rooftop.

Jun took a hold of the firearm hidden at the back of his pants and slowly brought it out as he sneaked behind him. Nino gasp and reacted a second late when the younger twisted his hands and put him in a lock position. He placed the nozzle on the side of his head and almost whispered, "Time to die, Ninomiya Kazunari!"

Nino whispered back, "Not yet J, I won't let you get rid of me easily!"
And took that moment to pour his strength to throw an elbow punch to his abdomen in order to escape from his controlling hold and at the same time, to get the gun. Both individuals struggled to possess it, that the weapon went flying away from a distance. Without the gun in either of them, Jun used his combat skills towards Nino.
One, two, three punches more before kicking his side several times, including the bullet wounds that were healed previously that made the gamer scream in pain.

When he saw Nino unable to stand anymore, he scurried to the gun's locale and pointed it to his defenseless form with both hands.

Jun was on the verge of crying, "From now on, you will be nothing but a fading memory."

Before he can pull a trigger, a figure dashed out of nowhere to grab the gun from Jun.

"Ohno-san, let go!" he yelled, recognizing him in shock.

The older was still weak but not weak enough to release his hold, "I won't. Don't do this!"

"I have to, it's what I wanted to do from the start!"

"Please!"

"Stop it Ohno-san!"

Neither gave in thus the two continued to struggle.

Suddenly, a bang.

Ohno and Jun stared at each other.

The older smiled lightly before the former slowly knelt and fell sideward on the ground. Blood then oozed out from the shot which made the latter snap in panic, looking at his hands holding the gun shakily before tossing it away from his sight.

Jun...Kazu...I'm sorry.

Jun and Nino yelled his name in unison.

I wonder…Maybe it will be better if it's like this…

Ohno was trying to be conscious but wasn't able to as everything faded to black.

In time, Sho and Aiba, together with few policemen, rushed to the scene and brought the three back inside the hospital.

–––––––––––––––

3 weeks later:
Dead silence surrounded the isolated room as Nino and Jun stood before each other–merely separated by the glass wall built in between. Jun first took his seat and spoke through the hole in the glass.

"How is Satoshi?"

Nino couldn't help but cringe at him calling Ohno by the first name. He then took a seat replying with a poker face, "He's...fine."

It's been 3 weeks since he hasn't woke up so obviously he's not.

"What do you mean by 'fine'?"

Fine? I don't know if he is anymore.

"Fine is fine, J."

"Then how come he hasn't been with you? Or with Aiba-kun and Sakurai-san?"

I wish everyday for him to just...wake up.

But...he won't.

Jun mumbles Ohno's name repeatedly in a form of a tune.

And you, Jun. You're supposed to be the stronger one.

Why?

"Sa-to-shi... Sa-to-shi..."

"Stop singing and stop asking too many questions! I told you, he's fine!"

"Sir, please calm down or he might go berserk again."

In contrast to what the officer said, Jun only paused with a pout before singing again, only softer. He seemed calmer than a week ago.

Then, a woman in a white uniform walked near him. Nino presumed it must be time for him to take some medication. He didn't say any word as he watched him being escorted back to the door that leads to his isolation.

He heard Jun's somewhat jolly voice talking to the one assisting him, "Hey Mao-chan, Nino will come back tomorrow right? Do you think Satoshi will be with him? I want to see my Satoshi...then we can finally go to Paris…"

He turned away to not hear the rest. Jun should be charged with rape, attempted homicide and lots of things. But after the incident, his mentality went to another breakdown that caused his insanity.

His cellphone vibrated. He fished his phone from his left pocket and read the screen through watery eyes: It's Aiba calling.

"Yeah?"

"Nino! Riida...He's..."

Hearing just the first part of Aiba's statement made Nino's heart beat faster than usual.

"I'll be right there! Thanks Aiba!"

He woke up...he woke up...he woke up! Satoshi will be okay!

––––––––––

Nino almost felt like he was going to die out of exhaustion as soon as he arrived in front of Ohno's room, not bothering to use the elevator. This is the effect of him not actually moving much from playing games at home. No matter, he was that excited.

Nino combed his hair with his hands and fixed his clothing, trying to brush the crumples from his shirt. Then he pushed the door.

Inside were Aiba and Sho holding hands, giggling back at him as if they knew what he was doing outside before coming here and there he was...

His Friend. Family. Lover. Everything.

Tears are coming out of his eyes.

"Nino."

He ran and immediately encircled his arms around Ohno, "Oh-chan! You're awake!"

Ohno did the same thing and tangled his one hand through his hair, "Yeah I'm here. I'm sorry if I made you worry." He released himself from the embrace (much to Nino's disappointment) and his eyes roamed around his body, "Are you alright now? How were your wounds?"

The couple giggled louder at Nino's scarlet face. He covered his face shortly before answering with a sniff, "I was healed weeks ago, you idiot! You should look at yourself first!"

Darn it, his tears won't stop!

Ohno cupped his face with both of his hands and wiped his tears, "Stop crying okay? Didn't I tell you before? I won't go anywhere this time."

"It's just that I–"

The older smiled and gave Nino a sweet kiss.

"Can you stop now please? You've cried buckets for me already." pleaded Ohno with puppy eyes.

"Kiss me one more time?"

"We're right here you know!" The other couple disturbed, making them all laugh.

In the end, Ohno and Nino were left alone as the other two went outside to buy some food and buy them some time.

Nino didn't hold back and climbed beside Ohno on the bed and kissed him in which he gladly obliged.

The kiss was long, deep, passionate, longing, caring and loving.

Once they finally separated to grasp some air, they made themselves comfortable by fully lying down on the bed. Nino snuggled himself into Ohno's warmth whilst he caressed Nino from his hair to his lower back repeatedly.

"Hey Oh-chan?"

"Hmm?"

"About the–"

"We'll deal with those later. I need more sleep and so do you."

"I don't need it and I'm pretty much sure that you also don't."

Nino felt him shrug, "Cuddling it is then."

"I'll text Aiba to buy us tons of food. That'll give us...I mean...well, so that you can heal quickly and be better already."

Ohno chuckled at Nino's kind-of-cheezy behaviour (too bad he can't see it from their intimate position) and kissed the top of his head, "Whatever you say Kazu."

Few more weeks later when Ohno got out of the hospital– thanks to Sho's contant nagging on making him eat, Aiba series of outdoor adventure stories–making him realize that he misses fishing– and Nino's whining of wanting to sleep (whether it's the actual rest or something else) with him...without having to deal with back pains or skeptical looks of the nurses.

Subsequently, the rest were dealt with.

The authorities soon found Toma in a construction at Yokohama and was brought into question for being part of Jun's plan. He was released thereafter without charges because of Ohno's strong opinion about him being a good person. Whereabouts are unknown for the group who beat Ohno up; both can't recall much of their faces so they gave up on looking. Lastly, Jun, was still in the process of mental rehabilitation. At this time, chances of making him sane again are low. Nevertheless, Aiba or Sho would visit once a week to check on how he's doing. Nino haven't returned since Ohno woke up back at the hospital. On the other hand, Ohno was okay on a visit though he was quite unsure of what would the outcome be at first. Still, Nino and Ohno settled on visiting Jun.

When they have arrived, Ohno glanced at Nino as they walked through the hallway.

"You okay?" he queried, observing Nino biting his thumb’s nail in concentration.

“Yeah, I’m just worried. For the first 2 weeks, he was uncontrollable…kept looking for you.”

Ohno’s eyes casted downwards, “It must have been tough on Jun-kun.”

“Then, during my last visit, he was calmer and just bugged me on where were you and your condition.” They stopped in front of the room where Jun is already waiting inside, “You know what, maybe I should go in first Oh-chan. You can just see him through something else.”

The older only nodded, “Okay then. Try telling him… that he doesn’t have to worry. And oh, give him this.”

“What is it?” he asked, holding a medium-sized box wrapped in purple ribbon.

“It’s something I made for him before.”

Nino continued to scrutinize the item. Ohno held Nino’s hands gripping the said box.

“He has done a lot of things…that may not be forgiven so easily. But that doesn’t mean I have forgotten his good side.”

Nino sighed and went inside the room and the other went to the recording room.

Jun was already there, holding pictures of him and Ohno back in the day and dreamily gazing at them (Aiba must’ve given it to him). When Nino pulled a chair, the younger averted his eyes to him with a slight enthusiast, “Is Satoshi with you?”

He doesn’t want Jun to expect so he said with courage, “He’s not with me…and he’ll probably not come here but he said that you should not worry and I should give you this.”

Jun was looking behind Nino and all around the room then back at the item. He slowly grabbed it and pulled the ribbon. As he opened the cover, he pulled the content and stared at it and then…he cried and hugged the item.

“You…get well soon okay?”

Jun was still sobbing and even if Nino can’t hear it properly he knew there were words of ‘Thank you’ coming from his mouth endlessly.

When Nino bid his goodbye to Jun, Ohno was already outside waiting for him in a tree shade. As they walked home together, holding hands, the older simply answered in which Nino only hummed in response.

“Thank you Nino.”

––––––––––––––––

Epilogue:

Ohno was enjoying the sun hitting his face only to be blocked by Nino’s head.
           
He didn’t bother to open his eyes, “What is it Kazu?”

“Where’s your ring?”
           
“Ring? What ring?”

“The one that you should also have since you gave one to me. Don’t tell me you only bought one!”

The older opened his eyes and sat in front of Nino’s position, “N-no! I bought a pair! Toma-kun found it while he was cleaning Jun-kun’s house!”
           
Right brow raised. The sound of a foot being continuously tapped, “So? Where is it now?”

“I can’t remember where exactly I–”

“Ohno Satoshi, if you don’t find that ring I swear I’ll–“

Ohno pressed his right hand on Nino’s chest. As it settled on his fast-beating heart, the ring was already in his hand. Afterwards, a nose kiss.

“Will you look at that, it’s here.”

Nino blinked once, twice before finally laughing hard.

“What’s so funny?” he asked, wearing the silver band on his ring finger.

“I don’t know that a person can be a sap and a magician at the same time.”

“I learned from the best….so did I pass?”

Nino couldn’t help but grin, “Yeah, I guess so. I’m glad you remembered.”

“Even if I did forget them, I will always find a way to remember them.”

Both individuals smiled as they faced close to each other, shadows overlapping.
From now on, everything will be okay.

“I love you.”

A seal of kiss.

“Love you too.”

Here you go and I hope you enjoy reading~


Jun thought he would wake up to only find the side of his bed empty. But he felt extremely happy to see that Ohno did return to him, currently sleeping soundly with an angelic face. With that, he kissed the exposed chubby cheek and embraced him. However he felt his lips a bit moist after the action; was Ohno crying yesterday? Why? Where did he go? As he was about to generate theories in his mind, he heard him mumble.

"Nino."

The sun's rays reached the window sill towards an object momentarily blinding his eyes. As soon as he knew what it was, he grabbed the pendant and pulled it harshly, tossing to an unknown corner of their room.

It was better out of his sight. Especially to Ohno.
3 months later:

Ohno: Everything went back to normal. It's as if I was back to the person that I was, after that accident. I would always patiently wait for Jun at home every time he comes home from work and just... be with him (as if that wasn't obvious). Our talk were always interesting and fun to say the least but I can't help but be uncomfortable about one thing.

My necklace.
My ring.
And...there's...

I nurse the wound on my right arm. Never mind. Remembering it sickens me.

Going back to my ring, I wanted to ask him all this time but I'm afraid on what may happen next. I can't let him pull any crazy stunt against Nino again (and to the others).

His face covered with wounds flashed on my mind. It was saddening because it's my fault. That night was the last time I've seen and been with him. I miss him. Maybe I should hear him again today? Yeah, that would be soothing.

I went to the cabinet to reach the not-really-abandoned player in tiptoes. Then I listened to it on the couch. Just before the chorus, I can feel my eyelids getting heavy. I continued to hum the song in my sleep.

I woke up when I could feel someone poking my side.

"Oh, it's you. Welcome home."

"Why are you dozing off in the couch?"

"I was just--" I paused, trying to think of an excuse but nothing, "painting and I got exhausted."

Jun must not know about the tape. I always made sure it wouldn't be seen. I was caught off guard today. I was about to stealthily hide it from his watch but it was too late.

Shit.

"I didn't know you were listening to a song in such a genre, Ohno-san. Do you play this every day?" he said happily but poison seethed in his voice.

I held out my hand, motioning him to give it back, "That's just a song recommendation by a...tv show."

"Then you don't mind me listening to it."

"Jun, please."

"Fine, here."

I was about to grab it but he slide it from his grasp and looking down, I saw him step on the object.

I couldn't see my face but I know that it screamed horror.

I knelt down and picked the now broken tape (and the player too). I felt him ruffle my hair but I distanced myself. He produced a “tsk” sound, "After hearing that, I can say that it's a horrible song recommendation. Let’s just go buy a CD player and buy those songs by these five people called Arashi, they're very popular; songs are cool as well."

Three months had passed and I'm running out of sanity.

I take back what I said earlier.

It was worse than before. It felt like hell being here, every time he comes home, frustrated because of anything that would be reminded of Nino or when he's only sexually frustrated. The latter...

...

Unpleasant was an understatement, to be honest.

It was like the first time he had me, only it had felt too possessive. I wasn't sure if it was out of love or simply lust.

Flashback:
Jun was rummaging through Ohno's series of sketchbooks trying to find something.

"What are you doing Jun?"

The younger mumbled a question under his breath that he didn't quite get, "What?"

Jun wasn't looking at him and continued on as he answered him, "Where's that sketchbook?"

His sentence hit him like a lightning.

"It's not there anymore; you made me throw it in the trash 2 weeks ago right?"

"I checked the bin beforehand, it wasn't that sketchbook."

Ohno was about to say an excuse or anything to calm him down when Jun stopped and finally found what he hoped he wouldn't find with a smirk. Then, he pulled a lighter out of his polo's breast pocket and flicked it to produce fire, placing it near the paper material.

"Jun don't!"

Too late.

Orange flames spread rapidly through the sheets. Watching the ashes fall down, so were his tears; still, he tried to hold them back.

Once he finished burning the whole thing, he wiped the tears from Ohno's cheeks, "When you told me you'll get rid of everything, I believed that it'll be down to the last scrap."

The older looked down, unable to say anything -- not in guilt particularly but because he knew exactly where his actions are going.

"Try drawing him again and I swear... you won't be able use any of those," he warned next, looking at his brushes, pencils, canvases and markers.

Afterwards, Jun's lips crashed onto his, kissing him hard until they were swollen, then pushed his tongue to further enjoy the taste. Ohno wasn't responding as always and just took whatever he offers.

He has gone used to it but this time, he tried to retaliate; however, the action pissed Jun off. He pushed Ohno instead, accidentally landing on one of his homemade pots, wounding his right arm to the now broken pieces. The older whined in pain and stared at Jun in fear.

He never thought that he would be this violent, even to him.

Ohno stood and made his way out of the "art" room but Jun yanked him towards the bedroom (which is simply beside the former). He pushed Ohno to the bed and held him there so he won't escape--not even caring that he had just wounded him.

"I love you Ohno-san." he whispered as he hid his face in the crook of his neck after yet another lustful kiss, breathing heavily. Jun's hands crawled inside his shirt while he started kissing him again until Ohno felt them moved down to his nether region.

As Ohno tried to struggle free, a punch landed on his stomach, weakening him further, unable to escape.

"I want you so please..." Jun moaned over him. "Let's do it again..."

End of flashback

....

Ever since that day, I obeyed everything but there are still times when it becomes as such.

Was Jun always like that? I don't know anymore.

I could only push down the sob waiting to be released from my throat and simply pick the broken pieces of one of my treasures.

I'm an idiot for being reckless today.

"By the way," he suddenly added, acting like nothing happened (as expected), "I met Aiba-san earlier, he invited us for dinner tomorrow. It's Maru's birthday apparently."

Maru huh? I wonder if he's with Nino right now. That thought made my heart sink. But if he's taking care of him besides Sho-kun and Aiba-chan then it's fine...right? If he's happy, then these things happening to me aren't important.

Maru reserved a small but quite popular restaurant for his special day. He only invited his 6 fellow friends (who has been with him throughout the years), his seniors and juniors and of course, Nino, Aiba, Sho, Jun and Ohno.

Clanking of beer bottles and exhanging of greetings and wishes can be heard all over the place. It was all fun...or at least Maru wanted himself to convince that. The atmosphere between the five of his friends at the corner of the room felt a bit intense after Jun and Ohno arrived late, holding hands much to Nino's disappointment and probably something else. It's true he he had all the time in the world to make Nino forget about Ohno now that he's with Jun despite that they are nothing more than just friends. But...it's useless.

No one can replace Ohno.

And it pains him to see Nino in such a state. For sure, Jun is doing this intentionally to piss him off. Good thing they were in the far side of the restaurant.

Why did he even conspire with Jun before?

...

He scratched the back of his head; I wish they would be just like the old times, especially the three.

"Glad you can make it, Ohno-san, Matsumoto-san."

Ohno shook his hands and greeted him with a smile, "Otanjoubi Omedetou Maru!"

Jun did the same afterwards and gave a wine as a gift for the birthday celebrant.

"Thanks guys!" Maru then glanced quickly at Nino who gave an 'I-will-be-fine' look before excusing himself to attend to the other guests. "I'll leave you guys so go and help yourself with some food and drinks~"

As soon as Maru left, Aiba cut the awkward silence by pouring drinks to everyone whilst conversing about his moments at their family restaurant and work. Sho followed suit, then Nino and Jun. Ohno was listening and laughing, highly amused at their talk. Everything went out smoothly not until Jun started to slump his hand over Ohno's shoulder and kissed him on the cheek (which startled him a bit), then full on the lips looking at Nino smugly after.

So he was doing it on purpose, Nino thought, his teeth gritting in anger and of course, jealousy.

"Jun, stop it." the older whispered, pushing Jun away, feeling a bit bothered as he tried to lean again for the second time. He certainly didn't want Nino to see that. Not after 3 months of not seeing each other at all.

"Why should I? I'm your boyfriend. Aiba-kun has done it a few times to Sho-san before. And there are more embarrassing things we did than just a simple kiss on those pouty, soft lips of yours--"

"Jun!"

Nino suddenly stood. "I'll just...go to the men's room."

Ohno wanted to follow him but Maru beat him to it.

Jun asked innocently, "What's up with Nino?"

Aiba and Sho only shook their heads and continued eating.

Taking the last shot of his beer, Sho gave him a warning glare, "You know well Matsumoto-san that the kiss me and Aiba would share mostly are light pecks not...that kind of stunt you pulled just now."

"Relax Sho-san, it won't happen again. Let's go home, Ohno-san."

Ohno wasn't ready to leave yet, "But we haven't said goodbye to Maru yet--"

He snorted with a giggle, "I don't care. I'm sure he's busy with Nino right now."

"Jun-pon!" Aiba yelled, slamming his hands on the table. Sho calmed him down but that doesn't mean he's not angry at the words coming out of Jun's mouth.

The people stopped to see the source of the ruckus at first but immediately went back to normal, too busy to actually care.

Before Ohno could say anything, he has been dragged out of the restaurant without even properly bidding goodbye to his friends and is now pinned against a wall, with pair of lips attacking him fiercely.

Ohno pushed him away, "What the hell are you trying to achieve Jun? What you did back there...It's all stupid and childish!"

"I wanted them to know that you have officially moved on and Nino is nothing more but an acquaintance!"

He jabbed his finger to the younger, "You already made your point before! And I chose you! All these months, I was with you! I gave up a lot of things because of you! I endured so much!"

Jun swatted his hand away, "I don't believe you."

Ohno snapped, remembering the moment he opened his eyes to see Jun and uttering his "relationship" with him, "Well, you're the one who lied first!"

A big slap on the face. Startled by the action Jun inflicted on him, he stuttered his name apologetically.

"O-Ohno-san..."

Apparently, the slap wasn't painful.
"Don't worry, this is nothing compared to the punches and whatnot that you do to me. You know what, I've had it. I don't care what happens to you anymore."

And then, he stormed off.
Ohno met Maru halfway sweating profusely, "Ohno-san, I didn't catch nino. I thought that he's in the men's room but he's not there."

"What?"

Where would you go Kazu? He smacked himself; he knew exactly where Nino would go.

"I'll go find him. Tell Aiba-chan and Sho-kun I'll take care of him. I'll contact you if anything else happens. And one more thing..."

Maru was waiting Thank you."

Afterwards, Ohno ran to Nino's whereabouts. As expected, it's the park.

"Nino!"

He wiped something from his face (he knew well those were tears) before turning around, "Oh-chan...what are you--"

His heart melted at the sight of him right now, "Are you alright?"

"Y-yeah. How about you?" he asked back, tracing the red mark from the old man's right cheek.

"Don't mind me now. I'm glad I found you here."

"You will always find me here Oh-chan. I've always been here these past months since we've last seen each other..." Blushing at what he had just said, he shook his head and sighed, "You should go--"

Nino stopped his words when he felt Ohno's lips on his.

"I won't leave."

"But if you stay--"

"I know. But they don't matter. Not anymore. I'm sorry Nino if I left you like this. I am such a coward. I just don't want Jun to hurt you and made a decision in haste. I'm sorry."

"Thank you Oh-chan.." Nino said, smiling earnestly and kissed Ohno on the forehead; however, he missed teasing him as well so he added, "but it will take a lot before I can actually forgive you."

The last sentence made Ohno pout --that pout he missed so much, "You're lying. You can't resist me."

His smile grew wider, "That may be true but you're also not the only one who's stubborn."

"Touché, Kazu. touché."

Author's Note: Hey~ Firstly, thank you to all who are reading this story, you had boosted my confidence in writing this but I still have lots to work on. And who’s buying Calling/Breathless here? I was frustrated on which LE should I get but decided to get both! XD Too bad, they'll arrive on March but oh well. Expect more Ohmiya moments… and more of Jun’s possessiveness? (I still don’t know how I’ll work on Sho and Aiba) LOL

I wonder if there are Filipino Arashi fans here…I wanted to go on Friday for Arafes viewing (and sho-kun birthday bash?) but I don’t think I would be able to. //cries

And nino's ruining my bias list. Stahp Nino, Ohno-kun would get mad XDD (refers to all his recent magazine scans)

Windows would creak every now and then caused by a breeze creeping its way inside Nino’s room as if comforting him from his current state.

The candle that was once out now had flickered its usual heat and light.

As sappy as it sounds, there certainly is a spark. He remembered having it with Satoshi as well before. He couldn’t forget the warmth that he momentarily felt as their hands touched.

“Satoshi…is Satoko the one? But…”

Another breeze passed him.

No answer.

Of course, it’s to be expected.

Rrring! Rrring!

Picking the cellphone in his pocket, he answered lazily, “What is it Aiba?”

“Hey Nino! Want to go for another drink?”

“What is it with you and your daily drinking sessions?”

“Nothing, it’s just that I want to talk to you about something this time.”

As Aiba’s voice sounded serious at the last statement, he took a wild guess while looking at his mini calendar on his bedside table, “Is it about how to plan for Sho-kun’s birthday?” Even if he doesn’t see his friend right now, he could see his cheeks heating up, making him laugh.

“Well, yes.”

“Okay then…to be honest, there’s something I want to talk to you about too.”

It was almost 11 in the evening when Nino and Aiba met at a sushi bar in Ginza talking first about work and possible plans on how to surprise Sho on his birthday. Aiba was thinking on making a buffet for him at home but Nino objected thinking that taking a trip to Aiba’s hometown, Chiba, would be better instead.

He hugged him really tight, “That’s a good idea, Nino! I’ve never thought about that~”

“Of course you don’t! Besides, don’t thank me. Satoshi once suggested it–”

Aiba loosened his hug but didn’t let go yet. He patted his back gently, “It’s okay Nino, no need to pause.”

He’s not the only one who misses Ohno actually. His drinking sessions with him are the best memories he had with him. They would just sit in the counter, drink and just talk. He would usually talk a lot about Nino more and he would always observe the way his eyes would brighten even more. The same thing goes for him when he talks about Sho-chan. Now, he’s forcing Nino to fill the empty spot.

How can he be so selfish?

Still, he wanted to keep an eye on his longtime friend; it’s the least he could do for his drinking buddy and at the same time, a good friend…wherever he is right now.

Nino pushed Aiba from his grasp and shrugged, “No, it’s fine. He did suggest it though. He learned how Sho-kun loves seafood. From there, you can plan the rest. I’m sure he’ll be happy whatever you have in store for him.”

Aiba saw the pain in his eyes. He knows how he’s trying to be strong. He wanted to hug him again but Nino raised his glass, “Let’s cheers to that, Aiba-san!”

As the glasses collided with a clink, he only wished for Nino’s happiness with someone else other than Ohno-kun. He’s certain it something he would want for him. Which reminds him…

“Oh yeah Nino, you also want to talk to me about something, right?”

Nino’s fingers played with the tiny droplets forming outside of his glass, “It’s about a girl named Satoko.”

The older looked at him with eyes wide, “Man you’re fast! But… eh? Explain now!”

“Calm down. There’s nothing between us! She has a boyfriend.”

“Oh... Then why are you telling me this?”

He drank the last bit and gestured the bartender to give him another round, “It’s just that I felt something Aiba-san. I have no idea how to explain it. It’s because of that…I may have taken a liking to her.”

“Like? How long have you seen each other?”

“2 days ago.”

Aiba stood from his seat, “2 days and you like her already? That’s unlike you. And she has a boyfriend for crying out loud!”

“I know. It’s weird that I like a girl but I can’t help it… I vowed to myself not to love anyone else. It will only be Satoshi…but…”

“But what?”

Nino looks at him with bewilderment reflected in his eyes, “Satoko is making me feel the same feelings I felt for Satoshi. I don’t know what to do with these feelings.”
Jun and Ohno were having their desert when the older confessed, “I looked for a job after you left.”

Shit.

The younger hit both of his palms on the table with such a force, scaring Ohno. “Why did you do that? I haven’t even said yes!”

He was looking down, avoiding his angry eyes. He doesn’t like it when he’s angry and it’s a rare kind. “I assumed you would say yes since I’ll dress as Satoko anyway.”

“That’s not the point! What if those people would see you? They can appear at a dubious time and place! What happens when they’ll take you away? What would I do, if I arrive here, knowing soon that you won’t return anymore? Answer me Ohno-san!”

What if he sees you? What do I do?

He’s fuming with so much anger; Ohno couldn’t help but let a few tears escape from his eyes. He didn’t think that Jun would get so mad. “I-I’m sorry Jun. P-please s-stop…”

Jun, realizing that he had gone overboard, went to hug his now shaking figure, “Sssh, I’m sorry.”

Don’t cry. Please…

He began to cry on his shirt. Jun just let him. He lingered a kiss on top of his head. He is angry and that’s a fact. He doesn’t want him to go outside.

He doesn’t want them to find out about him.

He doesn’t want him to remember.

If he does, he’ll leave him again.

Just like the last time.

Ohno is his. He’s not going to let him go this time.

Whatever it takes.

With that, he must do what he can to prevent what he has been trying to avoid for almost 2 years.

“Okay, you can work there but do return after your work okay? Curfew’s 9pm. Are we good?”

He’s still crying. Jun detached himself from him and gazed at him with a smile. He sniffed and stopped, then nodded. He wiped his tears from his chubby cheeks and kissed him again.

Jun took a mental note to ask for a 3-day leave this week to his boss later.


Nino decided to leave early again and headed to the bakeshop where Satoko works. He wanted to know what would be the progress of his feelings towards her. Aiba advised him to simply hang out with her and see how it goes. It isn’t a good thing because for one, she has a boyfriend and also, it would make him look like a stalker.

“Ah welcome– it’s you.”

“Yeah, it’s me again. I told you that I would always buy cream puffs for takeout and drink some tea right?”

“Yes. Yes you did.” She replied weakly. “I’ll tell him to get you the usual.”

After telling the owner, Satoko returned and wiped the tables left by the shop’s customers. It wasn’t much busy at the moment so he observed her do her work. There wasn’t much to say (she being cute in her outfit with a touch of the apron is a given anyway) except that…

“Did something happen?”

She turned her back from him and continued to wipe the tables from the far side, “Nothing. Why would you say that?”

“You seemed tired. And from your eyes, I can tell that you cried. Did you and your boyfriend fight?”

“It’s none of your business.”

“I know it isn’t. I’m just concerned. It will affect your work.”

“Thank you for your concern but I don’t need it. If it makes you better, I’ll check if your tea is ready.”

She didn’t look at him as she went back to counter to get the tea and brought it to him, “Your cream puffs will be done in a few minutes.”

Nino unknowingly grabbed her arm, “If you want to talk about it, I’ll listen anytime. So don’t be sad…whatever it is you’re going through right now.”

Satoko wanted to explode and just tell everything but she’ll give herself away. She can’t risk that.

She didn’t turn to see him; then again, she was thankful inside and left to assist the incoming customers.

Sho’s hands were full, carrying some groceries asked by Aiba before heading home. They weren’t really heavy so he decided to take a bus instead of a taxi. While nearing the bus stop, he happened to glance at the entrance of a convenience store where a familiar person exits.

To think that they’ll meet here; it’s been ages!

“Matsumoto-kun!”

The person called Matsumoto turned around and then his eyes showed a little panic. Sho ignored it and ran towards him, “How are you? Aiba-kun and I were wondering where you were all this time!”

“Uh, I’m just hanging around. You guys are just busy, that’s all.”

Sho responded with a laugh.

“So how are you and Aiba-kun?” he asked while trying to shake the nervousness from his chest.

“Still together. It’s been years since we saw each other… Have you heard about Ohno-kun?”

His face showed sadness, “Yes. Ninomiya-kun must have been wretched… H-how is he?”

Sho looked away, his face also showing the same expression, “He’s okay, I think. But it’s hard to move on, you know. It just happened so fast.”

“Yes, indeed. I wish that accident didn’t happen. Well then, see you.” The younger took a cap from his bag and wore it, then crossed the pedestrian lane leaving Sho behind.

“Wait Jun-kun!”

But he was gone. With a sigh, he resumed his pace.

Jun’s hands were inside his pockets as he started to laugh alone.

"I wish that accident didn’t happen."

Screw that.

That accident had given him the opportunity to bring back the way it was for him and Ohno. Now, he’s living happily with him. He’ll never have to stay with that brat.

But he was grateful to that characteristic of his. It was because of him that Ohno met that accident. It was because of him that Ohno suffered.
It was because of him that Ohno left.

And now that Sho had seen him, he’ll really have to be careful this time around.
