Nino jerks up from his sleep. He glances at the clock-it shows that it’s two A.M. His forehead is sweating like crazy. With his shaky hand, he scrambles to take his phone from the nightstand. He calls the speed call number, four.
“Daijoubu?” As soon as he hears the voice on the other side of the receiver, he breaks down to cry.
“Hey, Nino, what happened?”
Nino takes another breath, while sobbing. “Ju-Jun...,” he calls the other.
“Ssst, its alright Nino. Tell me and it will be alright. What happened?”
“No. It’s alright, Jun. Like you said, everything is alright,” Nino says.
“You are not calling me in the middle of the night and saying everything is alright. Just tell me.”
Nino shakes his head. “No, Jun. There isn’t any problem. I’m completely fine.”
Nino hears Jun take a deep breath. “This is the second time you’ve called me in the middle of the night and said nothing.”
Nino smiles, even though he knows Jun will not realize it. “I’m sorry, Jun. I’m sorry for waking you up. Anyway, see you tomorrow. have a good night.” And with that, he ends the connection.
Nino puts down his phone and takes his blanket. He begins to position his body so he can enter back into dreamland.
“I just want to hear your voice,” he mumbles just before he drifts back to sleep.
The next morning, Nino practically drags his body to wake up. He doesn’t have any will to get up and start the day, moreover to go to work. He is even too tired to smile. After he’s done taking a warm bath, he starts his coffee machine. While he waits for his coffee, he takes his console and begins gaming.
An hour later, Nino enters Arashi’s greenroom. He has handheld gaming console in his left hand, and coffee cup in his right. He mumbles an “ohayou” to his bandmates before sitting in his usual place and starts playing.
“Still dont want to talk?” Nino hears someone say to him.
Without looking, he knows it’s Jun. And Nino knows Jun is pretty persistent to make him let cat out of the bag. So he just shuts his mouth and shakes his head.
He feels a hand tap his knee. “You know I’m always here to listen. So, if you by any chance change your mind, you can always tell me. You know that, right?”
Nino takes a deep breath, “I know, Jun. It’s just-it’s really fine, and I mean it.”
From the corner of his eyes, Nino knows Jun is smiling. Jun taps his knee two times before he gets up to sit in his own spot.
That day at work, Nino keeps minimizing his interactions with the others. He barely says anything. He’s only being talkative when the camera is rolling. When it stops, he just keeps his head down and shuts his mouth.
Jun offers to take him to dinner, which he declines right away saying, he’s not that hungry. Jun lets him go. Nino drives his car back to his apartment. Once he arrives home, he isn’t going anywhere. He just throws his bag on the sofa and flops himself on his back. He is too tired to stay awake, so he lets the sleepiness win and drifts to sleep.
The situation is coming exactly like the days before. But tonight, Nino is not jerking awake. He’s just sweating and shaking. Doing exactly what he’s done before in this situation, he grabs his cellphone and calls his emergency number.
“Daijoubu?” Instead of the hoarse voice like yesterday, this morning Jun’s voice is more clear.
“You are not asleep?” Nino asks curiously.
He hears Jun laugh. “I know you’ll be calling me, so I haven’t gone to sleep. I just got home after having some drinks with friends.”
There’s silence between them. “So, wanna talk?” Nino asks.
“No,” Jun sighs, “Nino, please.”
“Not now, Jun. I just, I just want to hear your voice. It soothes me.”
He hears Jun humming at the other end of the line. “What were you thinking about?”
“Isn’t today your day off?” Jun asks.
“I think so.” Nino shrugs.
“I’ll drop by your place this morning to bring you some REAL breakfast. And you will spill the beans to me. Understood?” Jun’s stern voice makes Nino smile.
“Cant hide it from you, can I?”
Jun laughs. “You called me three times in a row at one A.M. and you expect me to leave you alone? In the next life, Nino!”
“See you in few hours, Jun.” Nino cuts off the line.
After putting his phone back on the nightstand, Nino looks at his ceiling and smiles. “Your voice is enough for me, Jun.”
Nino wakes up because of a noise outside his bedroom. With his sleepy eyes, he tries to get up from his comfortable bed. He finds Jun tidying his living room. “Morning,” Nino yawns.
Nino lays on his sofa, his head on the armrest, eyeing Jun as he uses the vacuum cleaner. “I put a coffee in your coffeemaker,” Jun tells him. Nino hums and walks to his kitchen.
Nino pours coffee in two mugs and hands one of them to Jun, who’s now sitting on his sofa.
“Now spill it,” Jun demands.
“Should I?” Nino sits beside him and starts playing his DS.
Jun take Nino’s DS. “I’m confiscating this until you tell me.”
Nino rolls his eyes. “You said you’ll bring breakfast. Why don’t we eat first? I am starving.”
Jun puts the DS in his pocket before he goes to kitchen to get the breakfast. “I hope a waffle is fine for you.” He puts the plate down.
“I eat everything that’s delicious, Jun!”
They spend 30 minutes finishing their meal. Jun doesn’t bother with cleaning the dishes and just sits back on sofa.
“I had a nightmare,” Nino starts after Jun gives him a look.
Nino rests his head on Jun’s thigh. “You remember, when I was in school, I used to be bullied?” Jun nods. “I met him a week ago. “ Jun frowning, “Accidentally, “ Nino ad.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Nino laughs. He lifts his fingers and touches Jun’s cheek. “You weren’t there. It was after I was done recording Nino-san. He just came out from the bathroom. He was wearing the staff uniform when I met him.”
Jun grips Nino’s fingers and looks him right in the eyes. “What did he do?” Nino shrugs. “Tell me Nino.”
Nino bites his lips. “He looked at me. And even after years passed, he said that I still look like a freak. Even after I win the Nippon Academy Award, he still called me a freak.” Nino doesn’t cry, his face still emotionless.
Jun brushes Nino’s bangs aside. “You can cry, you know?”
Nino’s gaze meets Jun’s eyes. Then he burys his face into Jun’s stomach and starts crying. He sobs and lets Jun calm him down by stroking his back. He clutches Jun’s t-shirt and can’t stop his tears.
“Everything will be fine, Nino. You had proofed him you are better the past. You can stand on your own. You can make your mom proud of you. And he? He still being jerk that can only bullies the other. Alright fine, years ago he is superior. But now?”
Nino wipe his tears and he began to laugh, “Right? Look. I am in the top of entertainment industry. And he’s just a mere staff member. Who is he? After all these years, I am above him.”
Jun ruffles Nino’s hair. “That’s my Nino!”
Nino’s hand stops Jun’s. He glares at the youngest. “Now, give back my DS!” he growls.
Jun takes out the DS and hands it to him. “Sure, now get up! I need to be in recording room in an hour.”
Rolling out his eyes, Nino lazily get up and put his head in the another armrest and turn on his DS. He let Jun get up and fixing him self before going out. “See you tomorrow on studio, J!” He yelled as he hears Jun open his door.
The next day, Nino enters the greenroom of NTV for filming Arashi ni Shiyagare a little bit early. He found Jun in his seat playing with his phone.
“Anything new from twitter?” he says as he puts his bag down and sits at his spot.
Jun chuckles and says, “How was your sleep? You didn’t call me last night.”
“Slept like a baby.” The tune of the DS plays between them.
An hour later, the members have already arrived and they get briefed for the filming of next week episodes. For an episode, it’s 45 minutes, They need at least three hours of filming before they can settle back to their greenroom.
Jun and Nino both walk in the room last. Nino grabs Jun’s arm. “Wait a minute. I need to go meet with Nino-san’s PD. You can go first,” Nino says as he changes direction.
Frowning, Jun says, “I’ll go with you.” Nino just shrugs.
They head to the elevator. They take the elevator two floors up. Once they get out from the elevator, Nino stops his tracks. Jun follows Nino’s gaze and his eyes meet with a male AD in front of them.
The other man smirks and looks down at Nino. “Well, well, look who is here? A pathetic freak.”
“What do you want? To mock me? Bully me?”
The man laughs. “Oh my, you are a freak. You deserve the bullying!” Jun laughs. “Oh, look who is here? Your shining knight, The Matsumoto Jun!”
“Oh yeah, it’s me, The Matsumoto Jun. How about you? A low-life who tries to put down a top idol?” Jun antagonized him.
“Me? Don’t joke around. He is way below me, and sure I am in the upper class.”
Jun wants to open his mouth, but Nino beats him to it first. “Hey, look at us now,” Nino says, “we are not in the high school anymore-we’re both in the entertainment industry. If I’m right, which of course I am since I know your uniform, you’re just an AD. And look at me. I am Ninomiya Kazunari. The one who got the best actor award, and my group is always number one the music list. See, who is superior right now?”
Nino leaves the man speechless. Before he even gets time to talk back at him, Nino just walks past him. Behind him, Jun just laughs and gives his triumphant smile at the man before following Nino.
“I am fine Jun.” Nino knows what the youngest will be asking.
“You sure?” He nods.
Jun waits behind for Nino when the man goes into the Nino-san’s PD room. He doesn’t wait too long, around 15 minutes before Nino get out with smile in his face. Without saying anything, they walk back to their green room. Once they are back into their greenroom, which now its empty cause the others already left, they start to change and pack.
“There is something I would like to talk to you about,” Jun says, before Nino have a chance to grab the handle.
“Spill it.” Nino turns around.
Taking a deep breath, Jun starts to close their distance. “Look, I don’t want to be number four on your emergency list anymore.”
“Then what? My number one? That’s my mom!”
“I don’t want to be a person that you call in the middle of the night. I don’t want to just say ‘daijoubu’ for you. I want to be there for you. I want to protect you. I want to be your protector,” Jun ends with a smile. Jun’s words leaves Nino speechless.
“Nino, daijoubu?”
Seconds later, Nino’s head is finally back to earth. “What did you try to say?” he asks.
“What I want to say was,” Jun stops, letting Nino take a breath before he says, “I love you, Nino.”
