Summary: It’s time for Arashi to plan their solos for their new album. (Sorry, can’t summarize it better without spoiling everything >_<)
A/N: I had this idea in my head ever since I learnt that Sho wrote a part of Ohno’s solo. And Jealous!Nino really couldn’t be ignored (as Ohno would assure you), so here it is!
Nino was shocked. No, that would be an understatement. He was completely thrown off, hurt, stunned and really, really rather jealous.
What had happened?
************************
Nino sat humming in front of his e-piano. He was just checking some chords but all in all he was quite satisfied with his work. He made some minor changes -maybe a tiny tremolo here, a crescendo there- but yes, this song seemed to work just fine. Happily Nino played it once more to check the final version and couldn’t find any flaws in it.
“Brilliant!” he chirped cheerfully to himself and started tidying his work area. All the while singing his new song silently to himself and grinning like a little boy.
So when he heard the sound of a key in the lock, it was all too understandable that Nino threw away whatever he was holding at that moment and literally flew towards the door. He threw himself at the newcomer who didn’t even have the chance to completely enter the apartment and knocked the wind out of him completely.
“Okaeri, Satoshi,” Nino whispered in his ear, hugging him even more tightly.
“Ta…tad… Nino you’re strangling me!” Ohno in near desperation tried to free himself from the death grip Nino had on him.
“Sorry,” Nino smiled and released Ohno just enough to allow him to breathe. As compensation he kissed Ohno tenderly on the cheek. “Okaeri,” he whispered again.
“Tadaima. Gosh, you seem quite happy,” Ohno commented while he tried to pull off shoes and coat with Nino still clinging to him. Needless to say that it was quite fruitless.
“I am~” Nino smiled brightly and let go of Ohno just for a moment so he could undress a bit and close the door behind him.
Ohno left the genkan, Nino again clinging to him and smiling expectantly at him. Ohno was starting to grow a little nervous. When he had left the apartment in the morning, Nino had been normal, so it couldn’t really be their anniversary, right? And anyway wasn’t that somewhere around autumn? Or something like that. Ohno felt like he was swimming in deep water. Very deep water. Depending on his next words his fate for the weeks to come would be decided. Either Nino would be flying high, taking Ohno with him. Or else. Ohno gulped.
“S-so, what have you done all day long?” Ohno asked, his voice wavering just the tiniest bit.
Suddenly Nino’s whole face shone in happiness, radiating pure bliss. “Come with me~” Nino grabbed his hand and dragged him off. Ohno couldn’t quite remember holding his breath but nevertheless he released it when they turned towards Nino’s working room.
Nino ushered him inside and onto the worn old couch in the corner, storming towards the e-piano himself. And Ohno hoped intently that this wasn’t a song to celebrate anything, anything, related to their relationship.
“Just finished it before you came back,” Nino informed him happily when he had seated himself. “Just you wait, that’s going to be the most awesome solo of mine that will ever be pressed on a CD,” he giggled cheerfully.
“So it’s your solo for our next album?” Ohno asked in an only slightly strained voice.
Nino only nodded full of bliss.
Ohno exhaled. Safe. But maybe it would be better for his blood pressure to get himself an organizer and actually write down stuff like anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine’s Day… Who could expect him to know them all by heart, really? How Nino managed to do that, was a mystery to him anyway and…
At this point his string of thought was interrupted for Nino started playing and Ohno was instantly captivated. He silently listened until the last chord and only realized then that he was crying - once again. Only Nino’s songs had this effect on him. Every time Nino had him listen to his songs -and Ohno always had the privilege of being the first to do so, apart from the privilege of being the one the songs were written for, obviously- he was in floods after it. Okay, maybe not so much after he first heard Gimmick Game but that song also had had some effects on him and… yeah. Back on topic.
“It’s beautiful,” Ohno commented wiping his tears. “So, so beautiful, Kazu.”
“It is, isn’t it?” Nino beamed and walked over to Ohno. He snuggled against the older man’s side and gently slapped his hands away to wipe the still flowing tears personally.
“This time it just flew to me. I could hardly write the notes down fast enough.” Nino smiled brightly and enjoyed being wrapped around Ohno’s figure.
After several minutes of just comfortable cuddling, Nino asked, “And how was your day?”
“Oh, not bad. I finally got my solo for BW. Want to have a look at it?” Ohno was halfway up.
“Of course!” Nino gave him a gentle push and then waited patiently till the other returned with a folder in hand.
“Here,” Ohno took several pieces of paper out of the folder once he was back seated and leaning against Nino. “Doesn’t look bad, huh?”
Somehow Nino didn’t seem to be thinking along those lines. Instead he frowned. Visibly. Very visibly. Dangerously.
“What is this?” he hissed eventually, sending shivers down Ohno’s spine.
“Err… m-my solo. See, Ohno Satoshi a-a-and…” he never got round to finish his sentence.
“I can see that!” Nino snapped. “I’m asking you what this is!” Nino pointed furiously at a name.
“That’s Sho’s part,” Ohno said with all the confidence he could muster in the face of premature death.
“And why the hell has Sho a part in your solo?” Nino asked acidly.
“Well, he wrote it, so it’s only fair when he himself sings it, isn-“ Ohno broke off to gulp and edge away from his fuming boyfriend.
“He WHAT?!” Nino screeched. “He wrote a part of your solo?????”
Ohno only nodded, weighing out his chances to make a run for it and bolt for the door when the worst came to the worst.
“How come I wasn’t asked?? Answer me!!” Nino demanded intimidating. “Ohno Satoshi, I swear, if you don’t answer me right away…”
“S-sorry, b-but that wasn’t m-my decision…” Ohno was trembling and really wishing he could just run and hide.
“So they forced him on you?” Nino was suddenly full of concern. “They forced you to work with Sho when my poor Oh-chan didn’t want to do it? Oh, my baby, c’mere.” And in the blink of an eye Ohno found himself cradled in Nino’s arms and rocked soothingly.
“Err… Kazu?” Ohno swallowed hard. Though it was the last thing he wanted to do, it was best to man up now and come out with the truth right now. Otherwise Nino’s wrath would really know no end and Ohno didn’t really want Sho (or anyone else for that matter, himself included) on the receiving end of it.
Nino released him a bit.
Ohno swallowed again. “To t-tell the truth… I-I w-w-w… I wasn’t against the idea of working with Sho,” he said quickly to get it over with.
Nino was shocked. No, that would be an understatement. He was completely thrown off, hurt, stunned and really, really rather jealous.
After a long silence Nino finally looked up at Ohno. Now it were his eyes to be brimmed with tears and his bottom lip was shaking miserably. “So you wanted to. I see.”
“Kazu, I only said yes because it sounded rather cool, ne? No one would associate me with rap and I thought…” Ohno trailed off when he saw that Nino was crying in earnest now. “K-Kazu?”
“You could have asked me!” Nino wailed. “I’d have written us the most beautiful duet in the history of mankind!!”
Ohno took this as his cue to hug Nino and rock him gently. “Shush, Kazu. You know we couldn’t have done that.”
“But it would have been so beeeaautifuuuulllllllll!!” Nino wailed a little louder and more insistently.
“I know, sweetheart, I know,” Ohno whispered calmingly. “But management would never have allowed us and you know that.”
“They are just stuuuuuupiiiid!!! What would have been wrong with Yours now until forever?!”
“Nothing, love, nothing. I’m sure it’d have been simply amazing. But they don’t want us to come out, right Kazu?”
“Then what about Keep your fingers off my property?? I can have that ready by tonight,” Nino offered.
“I don’t really think they’d be happy about that, too,” Ohno smiled.
“Okay, okay. Tricky customer, eh? Don’t worry, I can have Ohmiya is real composed and orchestrated until the next meeting. Come to think of it, I already started on that a while back…” Nino started pondering about the whereabouts of his song.
Ohno was happy, no infinitematedly relieved, that Nino had calmed down. At least a bit. “Not that either,” he shook his head softly.
“Love at first sight? I’m in love with my bandmate? Never ending feelings? My one and your only? You make me whole?” Nino presented the titles in fast procession.
“No, love,” Ohno cuddled him a bit tighter against his side. “At least not for Arashi.”
Nino pouted, not as well as Ohno maybe, but the older man was still completely in love with it.
“I said-“ he started, cutting Nino off who had just opened his mouth. “I said, not for Arashi. Doesn’t mean you can’t write them for us.”
Nino contemplated this for a moment, if only for show. “O-okay,” he finally huffed.
“That’s my Kazu!” Ohno kissed him loudly on the cheek. “You know what; maybe we can use one of them for our Ohmiya SK skit this year. What do you think of it?”
“B-but only if you’re Taka this year,” Nino demanded with a sniff. “I refuse to sing I will love you till the world ends to Sho!”
“Like I’d let you,” Ohno said softly, leaning in again. He caressed Nino’s face. “Everything fine?”
“Un, everything’s okay,” Nino agreed.
“Hoped you’d say that,” Ohno grinned. “Then I can say thank you for your song…”
Nino giggled. “Hoped you’d say that, too…”

A/N: How is it?? I wrote it this morning. Actually I loooove sleeping in on Sundays but when I opened my eyes today I found a huge spider hanging over my bed (brrrr!) and I really couldn’t let that one slide. So after removing it I found myself wide awake and set down to write this fic down. (And I vacuumed my flat. And did my laundry. And cooked.)
Is it any good??? I don't know anymore... Hope your start in the day was more relaxed than mine ^^y
