Summary: Ninomiya Kazunari's life was simply revolved around his love for gaming. But then, not more when he met a popular idol Matsumoto Jun.
A/N 1: When I wish to take part in celebrating this Nino’s month, I thought 'why not make it for Jun altogether?' since their month quite close to each other. So then I start plotting this all ^^" I've learnt from Sho’s birthday fic making process, that I can be really bad at deadline... ^^"
A/N 2: Un-beta ed. Sorry for any grammatical mistakes. Please be gentle to me.
chapter 2 : (most likely be) Regretable Deal
"Kazu are you sure you're okay? Don't you feel any side effect after the accident? Are you sure you've thoroughly checked? Should we go to hospital again?" Aiba asked nonstop.
"Stop kazu-ing me and whine like that, it should be me to whine not you," Ninomiya snapped half heartedly. His head spinned around. Why this happened to him? Really, actually this was a dream or reality? Which one? If this a dream, well it should be since it was so weird. Then if not and really reality, well, it was too weird.
"Kazu come on~ let's go to hospital. I'll accompany you. You really make me worry," Aiba whined and pulled Ninomiya's wrist, he made Ninomiya got up from bed toward the door. But they bumped into Matsumoto who suddenly appeared at the door way.
Aiba fell down straight to the floor. Ninomiya spun around a little before lose balance and fell. But right before he hit the floor, Matsumoto catched him by his back. If anyone saw their position at the moment, it may looked like some position in a tango dance. Their eyes met, nobody said anything or even move, while still in the same position. Both Ninomiya and Matsumoto seemed like in a trance. Before someone cleared his throat and break that trance.
"Well seems like you two got really close," Aiba smirked. "Is there anything I don't know, Kazu-chan?"
"Don't think too much with your perverted mind Aibaka! Nothing happen," Ninomiya snapped and quickly straighten himself. He won't ever admitted out loud, but he felt himself blushed. For God sake he wasn't a teenage girl! Though in closer looked, Matsumoto indeed even more gorgeous.
Matsumoto clearead his throat too. Ninomiya noticed the idol blushed a little, he almost forgot the man actually quite shy, and he really thought that cute. "Erm, where do you want to go? I've made breakfast, so we can eat something first."
Aiba chirped happily and obediently followed the man to dining room. Turned out Matsumoto prepared simple western style breakfast with scramble eggs, toasts, and milk but also add miso soup.
Without much thought Aiba quickly ate the breakfast, occasionally hummed his pleasure.
Ninomiya just shaked his head, no need to wonder Aiba's hyper over food. His head still hurt a little, so he only picked a toast and drink the milk.
"I'll leave you two. Just take it easy and eat slowly. I just want to make a call to my manager," Matsumoto then leave them alone.
"Heughftuanigubman," Aiba talked with his mouth full of the leftover toast. Few of the tiny bit flew from his mouth.
"Chew and gulp it first before talking, you're gross," Ninomiya scolded him.
Aiba quickly gulped everything in his mouth and said again, "I said he actually is a good man."
Ninomiya glanced to the livingroom where Matsumoto pacing around calling his manager in phone. The idol discussed something Ninomiya assumed as the idol schedule for today. If this was reality, even though Ninomiya still could hardly believe it, then he stayed here somehow disturbed Matsumoto's time.
"Let's finished quickly Aiba. I want to hurry back to my own apartment."
"I'm afraid you can't. Your landlord's mistress had kicked you out yesterday, remember?" Aiba looked concern. "When I pass by your apartement she already throw away mostly all your belonging. Well, I can only save few, your belonging not much after all. But too bad I can't save any of your game console. That scary woman kick me out too when she saw me."
WHAT?! Ninomiya head spun around again. Fragment of memories flashed to his mind, about the argument with the said mistress late that night, about somehow the argument turned bad then the mistress got angry and kicked Ninomiya out, about Ninomiya refused to be kicked out, then the mistress became angrier and runaway took one of his console hostage. About Ninomiya tried to save his beloved console desperately run around his apartement block chasing the crazy mistress before he run into a car with bright light and the sound of tires brake. Ah! It must be that Sakurai and Matsumoto's car. Damn! Then this really was reality.
Ninomiya growled. "Ugh, I hate this situation. Aiba let me stay at your place."
"Erm, I'm sorry Nino-chan, I can't," Aiba apologized.
"What is it now?" Ninomiya growled.
"Uhm, I accidentaly burn down my apartment," Aiba answered in small voice.
"YOU WHAT?!" Ninomiya shouted in disbelieved.
"No no not the entire building. I mean just my apartment," Aiba quickly clarified. "I did a little experiment. It was totally harmless, really. I don't understand what's gone wrong. So now my apartment got renovated."
Ninomiya snorted. "What experiment- ah no never mind. I guess whatever experiment it must be useless." Aiba retorted 'oi!', while Ninomiya mumbled 'You and your experiment'.
"Then where do you stay now? Can't I join you?" Ninomiya frowned.
"Right now I stay at the veterinary dorm. Well, not really called dorm but more like room to rest for the vet in charge. They kind enough to share the room with me although the room quite small. That's why I can't take you too," Aiba explain. Ninomiya remembered Aiba worked as zoo keeper.
"But if you insist, I think there's some space inside tora-chan's cage. She may let you stay."
"Tora-chan the lion? No thanks! I don't want to die yet," Ninomiya quicky rejected the offer while Aiba laughed hard. Ninomiya deadpanned. "Haha. Not funny. I have serious problem here to find place to stay you know."
"Then you can stay here."
Ninomiya shocked and turned around to see Matsumoto already stood behind him. "What?"
"I'm sorry I don't mean to eavesdrop but I just came in the middle of your conversation and can't help to hear it," said Matsumoto. "But like I said, you can stay here if you want. I still feel little bit guilty for your injured head. You can stay here to be my house keeper? Just to clean around this apartment. I always too tired nowadays to clean up anyway."
Heard this, Ninomiya felt so tempted. But Aiba whispered to him. "Isn't it suspicious? He had bad rumors around him too."
"What kind of rumors?" Ninomiya whispered back.
"Ah, you never check on news so you never know. They say Matsumoto Jun the idol actually a hard person. He's so strict with anything, also a tsundere," Aiba on gossip mode.
"Hm I see, so he's so hard eh?" Ninomiya nodded as if understand the reason.
"I can hear you, you know. Your whispering still loud," Matsumoto growled. "If you want to gossip at least don't do it in front of the person."
"But that way we can also confirm it. So is it true?" asked Ninomiya.
Matsumoto snorted. "I like perfection. That's all."
"Whoa, what a cool word to say," Ninomiya chuckled.
"But there're other rumors too Nino-chan that more dangerous. That actually Matsumoto Jun is gay! What if he let you stay for your body?" Aiba added, still in gossip mode.
Ninomiya gasped and put his arms across his chest pretended to be offended. He turned to Matsumoto again for confirmation. "Is that true?"
Matsumoto's face became very red. "WH-WHAT?! NO!"
"Which part not true? The gay part or the 'after my body' part?"
If Matsumoto's face still possible became redder he might as well exploded, Ninomiya thought. The handsome idol bursted in anger. "IF YOU DON'T WANT IT'S OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME, YOU CAN THINK OF ME ANYTHING AS YOU LIKE, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!"
There's so many anger at that.
"Okay okay I'm sorry. We just want to tease you, and we may over did it. Sorry," Ninomiya apologized while patted Aiba's head who whimpered and hide behind Ninomiya's shoulder.
Matsumoto still breathed heavily controlled his anger. "So, do you accept my offer or what?"
Ninomiya gave thought. "Mm I just have to clean up? Just like house cleaning service?" Matsumoto nodded. "Nothing more? And in return I'm staying for free, right? Is it including meal?" Matsumoto nodded again. "Sounds easy enough. Okay, sure."
"Whoa, what a deal. Shouldn't you make some kind of contract or something?" Aiba stunned.
"Are you still afraid that I will after your friend's body? Or if I'll make use of your friend in any way?"
Aiba quickly shaked his head, afraid the stoic idol would burst in anger again. "I just suggest it. It'll help a lot to make everything clear in any kind of deal right?"
"You're right! Let's write the contract. The simplest one okay? Is there any paper and pen?" Ninomiya faced Matsumoto Jun who nodded and walked out from the kitchenette then back with the paper and pen in hand. "Okay, so let's write: Matsumoto Jun allowed Ninomiya Kazunari stayed at his apartment for free, including free meal and other living expanse. In exchanged, Ninomiya Kazunari would do all the house chores. Done. Then we sign this." When both of them had signed, they also shaked hands.
"Just like that? Really so simple." Aiba gaped. "Well, seems to me you'll be fine like always Kazu-chan. I've left your belonging in suitcase in the genkan, you can check it later. So I'll take my leave now. I still have some works left to do at the zoo. Bye bye Kazu, I'll visit you another time."
Aiba walked out to the door. Ninomiya followed Aiba until genkan, and sent his bestfriend back with a little wave. He then picked the suitcase Aiba put there, in which everything he belong from his old apartment. When he decided to open the suitcase, just to check the inside, Ninomiya heard Matsumoto cleared his throat from behind him.
"Hm, did you say something?"
Matsumoto fidgeted. " Not really. I just said that from here on you'll live here."
"Seems like that. So please treat me well," said Ninomiya nodded a little. But since Matsumoto still seem fidgeted, Ninomiya then raised an eyebrow. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Well, because we gonna live together anyway, it will be nice if we're in a good term..."
"And?"
"..and so, can I call you Kazu?"
Ninomiya gaped. "Excuse me?"
"Well, eventhough we're not in friend term yet, but atleast people in close term use nickname to call each other right?" Matsumoto said quickly while slowly blushing.
Ninomiya thought it was a little bit weird. But then it might just Matsumoto way to befriend him. He figured the idol actually so cute in expressing his feeling awkwardly. "You can just call me Nino. Everyone call me that."
"But earlier your friend Aiba called you Kazu," Matsumoto reasoned.
"Nah, he did that just to annoy me," Ninomiya frowned.
Matsumoto seemed want to ask more about this but in the end he said nothing else. "Okay. So when do you want to start your work?"
Ninomiya shrugged. The sooner the better Ninomiya thought. "I can start cleaning now if you want me to. After that can I play some game?"
Matsumoto followed Ninomiya's longing gazed to his entertainment system buffet, where all of his consoles and games collection stored. "Sure, I don't mind. But atleast you have to finish all your works first, not before that."
"Sure!" Ninomiya beamed. So Ninomiya dismissed himself and retreat to the guest room again (he thought it will be his supposed room anyway). He took his time to arranged his left over belonging, before came out to Matsumoto for his first task as his apartment cleaner.
Turned out Ninomiya quickly regretted the deal. Just within a day, Matsumoto proved to him his stoic side.
"Nino, wipe it more. There still dusty over there." or "Nino clean this" or "Nino clean that"
So frustrating!
