Disclaimer: if they were mine I would not write fics and instead order them to have hot sex together and live a very sakumoto married life. The plot is mine though.
The thing about avoiding this thing between us is that it makes things awkward and weird. It should be simple really for us to talk about it. Why didn’t we talk? Now that I think about it, we were really inseparable then. We talk about anything, and we hang with each other a lot. I’ve always wondered. If we had talked about it, about what’s inevitable, would it makes things easier? Would it make things easier to comprehend? Would it be easier to think of a solution? Would it be easier for us to confront our feelings and move forward?
Well, it would not change anything even if I think about it. I think I just think too much. He warned me against thinking too much. The mother hen will always worry about her chicks. I don’t like that particular notion. I don’t mind being worried and pampered by him, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that, I want to be the only one he would be pampering.
I look at him sitting beside me in this cramped car. There he is reading his usual morning paper. His eyes are not leaving his paper until he is done and occasionally making notes for ZERO. I caught a glimpse of his pen case. The pen case I gave him for his birthday. He’s really so happy when I gave it to him. He immediately asked me if he could open it in front of me. Once opened, he immediately replaced his old pen case and happily thanked me.
“Arigatou, macchan. I’m so happy.” He said while giving us his usual chipmunk smile. I blushed and tried to hide it.
“Betsuni. I’m glad it made you happy sho-kun.” I said while drinking beer from my glass to hide the blush. Ohno-san looks like he wants to sleep; aiba is just merrily tackling sho in the process almost knocking the bottle of sake and nino. Dear evil ninomiya, don’t smirk at me. I send him a glare hoping it says the message “Go back to your DS dear nino-chan”. That was not the first time dear nino-chan was smirking at me like that with his all-knowing smirk.
Come to think of it, we did talk about it. On my 26th birthday, we were the only one left. We did talk about what happened when we were kids. We had an adult conversation about it since we were adults. It was a refreshing start.
That was in itself an accomplishment in our case. To be able to honestly talk about what happened then and to reach a conclusion, that we were still each other’s friends, if not the closest.
We defined our friendship again with the promise of hanging out more. And I would be lying if I said that I’m not thrilled nor I don’t want something more. But, slowly but surely, I want to get there, where ever this thing between us is going. I think more than anything, we both want to get there on equal footing with the same feelings. It is a rather refreshing thing to want it to go slowly and to not rush into anything. We’ve done enough rushing to last our lifetimes. We’ve already waited a decade what’s a decade more?
I came out of my reverie just to see his face, sketched with worry lines, in front of my face.
“Jun, are you feeling alright? We are almost at my place. You look sick and in a daze. You want to just crash for tonight? My place is messy with my usual clutter but it is better than staying alone.” I love it when he is fawning over me and me only. It is selfish and ridiculous.
“No need. No need. I’m not sick sho-kun. Just a little tired I guess and cold.” I said not looking at his eyes but out the window. If I looked, it would be too hard not to reveal all the pent up emotions. Is it really pent up or just a figment of my imagination? All of a sudden sho stopped the car at the side of the road. I wondered what the heck was going on. I was about to ask him when a warm blanket and his scent, a mix between his perfume, his soap and laundry soap, enveloped me. It calmed me.
“You really worry too much. But thanks. Thank you. This blanket is like the one you gave me. Remember that one?” I said giving him the sweetest smile I could muster. And thought to myself, I am a love sick puppy.
“I did remember. I bought that blanket at the same brand I bought mine. It is very warm and really good for cuddling up to rest in the car. Don’t you think?” he gave me one of his million watt chipmunk smile that was so contagious.
“That’s why. Anyway, would you like to eat out? I’m starving. And it’s a good chance to prolong our talk. Ne sho-kun?” I said that with confidence. Good thing my voice did not shake.
“Really, ma-chan. If you want to go on a date with me, you just have to be upfront ab-“
I didn’t give him a chance to finish that sentence. I whacked him good in his arm. I noticed that we were way past his place; I should take that as a good sign.
“Really Sho-kun. If you did not want to go out, you just have to be upfront about it.” I said in a teasing one I often used when I had something planned. Oh, well. He’s used to me using that tone.
“And I should be the one asking you for a date. After all this time, it’s only proper. Would you go out with me?” Sho parked at an Italian restaurant that just opened a month ago. He did not have the time to eat here yet. It was a pleasant surprise. It was more than pleasant. It was splendid. And who would really say no to sho? Granted it was not really a romantic proposition, but it was just…… sho.
“It’s not like I have a choice. We are already here. You just could not take no for an answer.”
“And not to mention we have the whole place to ourselves and it cost me a trip to Italy.” He is really pulling all the stops today in a Sho fashion way which is sometimes adorable and sometimes stupid. Did he just use adorable?
“You know. Let’s eat and then go to Italy the next time we have a really long holiday. Let’s go and eat, sho-kun.” I unbuckled my seatbelt and was about to go out. I turned to face him and kissed him. Long and languid kiss that left me wanting for more but I reluctantly let go.
“Now, let’s really go.” I got out of the car an waited for him. When he got out, I whacked him again on his arm.
“What was that for?” he asked with his pout.
“First, it was for taking this long to taking me out. Second, for planning this out. Third, for ever doubting me. I would never say no to you.” I kissed him again just to prove my point.
“Hey, we are still in the parking lot. Let’s go eat.” He intertwined his hand with mine. I felt I was in heaven. Sho heaven. It was perfect.
We arrived at the green room the next day for a magazine interview together. We were wearing identical smiles as we were talking about soccer and Italy and when our next day off will coincide..
Nino, aiba and ohno who were already there just looked at us. Ten seconds past and they are still staring. It was getting creepy.
“Hey. Did my face changed? Did sho finally turned into a chipmu-“ I heard a twack at my ass. He was so going to pay for that.
Nino smiled that creepy smile. The one that says he knows all and is going to use that knowledge against you. “So you actually fucked each other?” four consecutive hits on nino’s arm a beat later and he crouched in pain.
“It’s about damn time you know. And I am just voicing out what everyone is thinking anyway. You’re all way too harsh.”
“Just ignore him. Congratulation to you two.” Ridaa says as he whisked away nino to a corner.
“This calls for a celebration. Drinks are on me tonight!!!” aiba says while hugging us. It was his bear hug that just leaves you suffocated.
“We just got together, aiba-chan. Do not want to die after we just got together. And we have yet to experience se-“
“That hit was for divulging exclusive information, sho-san.”
“That seriously hurt you know.” He said while intertwining our hands together again. This time, all of them were wolf whistling. And that made me think. This was how it was to be. We took the long road to get here. But we are here nonetheless.
This was inevitable. Him and me was always inevitable.

Notes:
1. Jun really did give sho a pen case for his birthday. Sho really did replaced his long time pen case. He said that it has no special meaning and the one jun gave has meaning because it came from on the members.
2. Ohno, aiba and nino left the two after the concert on jun’s birthday.
3. Sho did gave a blanket to jun as a present.
