Summary: Sho never thought that the impromptu gag kiss during VSA could be the trigger of something more than friendship~
A sign that shooting was over. The members headed back to their green room for their bento. As they ate, they kept talking about the sakuraiba kiss they did during the shooting. Jun were laughing while Nino was making fun of Aiba's face during the kiss. Somehow, Aiba's face kept on flustering yet glowing after the kiss. Sho was the only one looking uncomfortable during the talk. He felt that he did some regrettable thing...in front of a child...and of all thing with his best friend, Aiba Masaki.
So, as they were heading back, he pulled Aiba to a discreet place.
"Aiba-chan...." His hand was sweating hard, "I need to explain to you...something..."
"Nani kore...must it be here?"
"The kiss....just now...I know...it's impromptu...but..."
Aiba face turned red at the mention of the kiss.
Sho put his hand on Aiba's shoulder, "It's just a gag right? You shouldn't think too much about it....We're merely giving the fan some service...and we shouldn't..."
Aiba's face turned gloomy, "Ne..Sho-chan...Why are you explaining this?"
"Well, you kept on flustering...so I just want to make you feel better...It's just a mere entertainment kiss...ne?"
Aiba forced a smile, "Wakatteru...." Aiba said as he walked out of the discreet room. Just as he step out of the room, he came across Nino and Ohno who looked surprised.
"I'm didn't hear anything, ne Riida?!" Despite being a great actor, Nino definitely shows some obvious lie there.
"Definitely..." the usual calm leader flustered.
"Baka janai yo...I don't even mind if you hear it!" Aiba laugh. But Nino who's been with him since M.A.I.N period knows just how dishonest that laugh was.
"Sabishii ne?" Ohno said at the sight of Aiba's leaving.
"Nani ga?"
"His back..." Nino nodded.

Sho was on his way back from sending Kamiki-kun, his co-actor home after a day of shooting, when he saw the sight of Aiba and Jun crossing the road heading towards Aiba's Caymen that is parked not far from there. Aiba seemed tipsy as compared to Jun...A usual sight when someone drink with Jun who rather provoke others to drink rather than he himself doing the act.
Jun got Aiba inside passenger seat before he moved to the driver's seat. He put on the seatbelt for Aiba...He was about to drive when Aiba felt asleep and landed his head on his shoulder. Sho, was surprised himself. He was more surprised when Jun pecked a kiss on Aiba's lip after gazing to that innocent face for sometime. Sho's heart felt hurt at that sight, but he himself didn't understand the reason. His hand clenched tightly and a sense of rage appear from inside of him towards Jun.
Since that incident, Sho saw nothing but everyone getting closer to Aiba. He tried to convinced himself that it was his feeling...but the usual sight of Nino and Aiba getting so friendly with each other seems distracting, the tennen pair ridiculous talk feels like something going on between them...and of all, Jun's getting all close to Aiba is the most depisable sight.
"You seem sleepy..." Sho said to Aiba who was eating his bento.
"It's that guy's fault!" he pointed to Nino, "He came to my house at midnight, asked me to cook something for him."
"I didn't ask you to cook for me...I asked if you have any food..."
"Baka janaiyo...you called me in front of my house. How was I supposed to reply that time?"
Nino didn't answered but gave a smirk. Sho face turned sour and becomes worse when Jun came and lean his hand on Aiba's shoulder, "Shall I come over tonight? I promised you last time I'll teach you how to cook some simple pasta...?"
"Iiyoune~ "
"Can I join in?" Sho and Nino asked at the same time.
Jun laughed, "You both have schedule tonight."
Both of them looked down discontent. Ohno quickly pulled Nino out.
"Nandayou?"
"Do you like Aiba-chan?"
"EEEEEEEEEEH???"
"You've been getting close to him these days...and you disappointed when Jun will be alone with him tonight..."
"I'm just....worried...sou da ne...worried."Nino faked a laugh.
Ohno reached for Nino's hand, "Dame! You can't!"
"I know! Why are you so defensive towards him? You like him?????"
"Baka! zettai Muri!!"
Nino heave a sigh of relief, "Don't need to get so uptight...I'm just saying." With that, he left Ohno alone.

"Sho-chan...." Aiba, only in his sweat pants and towel on his head, said as he opened the door.
Sho gulped as he seen water droplets flow from the miracle boy's hair to his neck...It's the first time he felt that the man standing in front of him is so sexy. Aiba invited him inside.
"Don't you have filming?"
"It ended early..." Sho looked around, "Jun wa?"
"He had to cancel...something came up..." Aiba said bringing in front a cold tea and a glass, "Why did you come?"
"I...I..."
"Ah you want to learn the pasta to?"
Sho didn't answered. His stomach suddenly grumbled.
"Gomen ne...I haven't had dinner..."
"I'll cook something for you..."
"Ginger pork desu ka?"
"Iie...the pasta I cooked for you at Chiba..."
"A~ah....that's good..." Sho smiled. His face blushed, "I'll help..."
"It's ok."
While they waited for the water to boil, Sho drew came closer to Aiba, "Do you...hang out a lot with Jun and Nino?"
"Nande?"
"Just asking...."
"Yes I guess...since we're friends." Aiba said nonchalantly.
"Friend only?"
"What's with this weird question?"
Sho lose his patient, "Then, what's with Jun's ki...."
"Jun's what?"
"Tha...t night....Jun...kissed ...you..." Sho looked down, "But you're too drunk to realise..."
"Are you being jealous, Sho-chan?"
"I..."Sho paused, "You didn't seem surprised...So, you knew the kiss...and yet you act normally...You both..."
Aiba turn the TV off, "You are so stupid Sho-chan...He confessed the kiss...but he said there was no feeling...at all...he was conforming his feeling to me. Just like our..kiss. Means nothing..." Aiba face changed. He stood up and headed to the kitchen. Sho realised the change.
"Aiba-chan...you can't be..."
"Wh...wha..."
"You are...serious about that...kiss..." Sho dropped the magazine he was holding, "You can't possibly hurt with my word last time did you?"
"What if I am, Sho-chan..." Aiba halted his step, "What if I say I took it seriously? Would you find me strange for liking you? I can't help it ok...The kiss made me realise just how serious my feeling towards you." Both of them felt into silence...For a few minute, none of them speak anything. Aiba continued his cooking when suddenly he felt a sudden heat and slowly a hand wrapped around his neck.
"Sho-chan..."
"I understand how you feel...That kiss change everything. Before this, I can still turn back...despite my possesive feeling towards you...but after the kiss...I get jealous over Matsumoto-san and Nino and even Oh-chan for getting close to you. I don't understand why...but today, it seems clear..."
Sho turned Aiba to face him, "I am a baka in love with you, Aiba-chan."
Aiba dropped his spatula when Sho initiate a deep kiss...much deeper than their first one...Sho's hand started traveling behind Aiba's bare back but Aiba suddenly pushed him away, "I forgot to put the salt for the spaghetti!!!!"
Sho closed the fire and pulled Aiba toward the sofa where they involved in a closer and more heated manner with each other.

Aiba was on the sofa while Sho laid reading his script with his head on Aiba's thighs.
"Is it not ok?" Ohno said as he entered behind Ninomiya inside the green room.
"That is the worse possible confession!" Nino sat down hand crossed at his chest, "Saiaku!"
"Nan desuka?"
"This guy just confess." Nino smirked at Ohno.
"Iine~!!" Sho sat up, "More reason for you to stay away from Aiba!" Ohno headed towards Sho, How did you confess to Aiba? How?"
Aiba's face turned red, "doukana~" Sho said as he went behind Aiba and wrap his hand around Aiba.
Ohno pulled Nino close to him, "So...you reject my confession?"
Nino laughed and pecked a kiss on Ohno, "I didn't say it's a dame..."
Ohno blushed at the kiss and move forward to initiate his turn to kiss, but a tsukkomi landed on his head. "Find a room!" Jun shouted as he sat down. "You guys disgust me."
