Title: Seconds to break
Pairing: Ohmiya
Warnings: break up, kind of cheating, children
Summary: One day there is a baby on the doorstep of Ohno’s and Nino’s apartment. A letter reveals Ohno as the father and this story is about gaining trust again while trying to adjust to the new addition in his life.
A/N: Ohno was not really cheating on Nino since they were not together when the one-night-stand with the woman happened. But it happened relatively close to them getting together.

Nino giggled as arms circled around him and drew him against a warm body. He wriggled around, ignoring the grumbling from Ohno.

“Let me go!”

“I wanna sleep.”

“You can if you let me go.”

“No, I need my teddy bear,” Ohno whined as he nuzzled his face against Nino’s neck, who huffed slightly at the strange feeling.

“Well, tough luck. I need to get ready for work. And it’s your fault that I need to shower before leaving home, so let me go.”

He managed to slip out of Ohno’s arms, giggling at the grabbing hands from his lover and moving further from the bed to the safety to the door.

Ohno looked up at him with pouting lips, but much to Nino’s amusement he climbed out of bed. He shuddered when his bare feet met the cold tiles of their floor, but he stood, and Nino smiled as he watched him.

“You can stay in bed, you know?”

“Later, I want to see you off. Go shower, I prepare breakfast.”

“Coffee would be more than enough,” Nino said as he was pushed out of the bedroom by his shoulders.

“Breakfast,” Ohno said again as he opened the bathroom for him. Nino sighed but nodded as Ohno pressed a kiss to his naked shoulder. He sighed happily at the coarse feeling of the hairs that had started to grow on Ohno’s chin and then stepped under the spray of the shower, washing away the signs of what they had done just the night before.

By the time Nino was back in the kitchen he was almost sure that Ohno had fallen back to sleep, but the other man was sitting at the table, holding a mug between his hands and taking small sips of his warm coffee. Nino smiled as he sat down to drink his own coffee and eat the bread Ohno had put in front of him as the older left the room to go brush his teeth.

Nino played a game on his phone while waiting for Ohno when the doorbell rang. He blinked in confusion as he looked up. When he went to the living room, he was met with a confused stare of Ohno coming from the bathroom, his toothbrush still in his mouth.

“Did you miss his call?”

“No, manager-san hasn’t called me yet, and he isn’t supposed to arrive for another half an hour or so,” he said, grinning slightly when Ohno pouted as he realised that they could’ve stayed in bed longer.

“I’ll go check. Get cleaned up,” Nino said with a sigh. Maybe a neighbour had a problem, or their landlord wanted something. Still strange, but if it was an emergency, it would make sense if they appeared in front of their apartment without warning beforehand.

He opened the door, expecting someone on the other side to see… nothing. He blinked in confusion for a moment, thinking that he might’ve imagined the doorbell - if not for Ohno having heard it as well. They were not that overworked that they would have hallucinations at the same time.

He heard some rustling and still in a perplexed state of mind, his eyes wandered down to see a basket on their doorstep.

“What the…?” he mumbled to himself, staring up when Ohno reappeared behind him.

“Who was it?”

“Nobody?” Nino said, slowly turning back and trying to close the door when a cry came from the bundle on their floor. Okay, so no hallucinations. He rubbed his nose as he opened the door closer for Ohno to come by and have a look for who was causing the noise.

“What is that?”

“A baby?” Nino mumbled as he groaned when the wailing got louder. He picked up the basket and pushed Ohno inside so that they wouldn’t disturb their neighbours too much, or even worse: Get some strange looks, Nino could just imagine the headlines and how Johnny would react. The higher-ups of their agency would have a field day.

“I can see that,” Ohno said as he stepped back so that Nino could put the basket on the table and pick up the bundle inside to rock it in his arms and get to calm it down. “I meant: Why is there a baby in front of the door?”

Nino rolled his eyes, happy that the wailing has stopped. “I don’t know, Oh-chan. It’s not a daily occurrence for me either.”

“Sorry,” Ohno mumbled, still standing helplessly beside his lover.

“Could you please check if there is something inside that?”

“Yes, sorry, you want to put it down.”

“Oh-chan, please, I love you, I’m just as exhausted as you are but could you not call a little human being it?”

“But we don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy,” Ohno said with a pout evident in his voice as he pulled the basket closer and check it. “You are just sensitive because your sister just got a baby boy and I said he looked like an alien.”

“He did not!”

“He did,” Satoshi said with a small snort. “Your sister agreed with me, actually.” He grinned slightly at the memory. They had managed to visit Nino’s sister just two hours after she had given birth and the baby boy had looked ugly then. Of course, that didn’t last long, and now he was a cute little infant but then it had been different. Also, Ohno had never seen a baby so shortly after birth. He had been surprised at how small babies actually were. They looked bigger in movies.

“There is a letter,” Ohno announced as his hands touched the paper. He pulled it out and then putting the blankets in order again so that Nino could put the baby in as well. The small human had already fallen asleep, and Nino groaned as he sat down.

“Check it, and then we should probably call the police? God who do you call when a baby appears on your threshold?”

“I honestly don’t know. Maybe your manager knows more?”

Nino’s eyes widened as his eyes fell to his watch. “Shit!” he swore a bit too loudly for the baby who got grumbly again. Ohno carefully rocked the basket as Nino shot to his feet again, running to the bedroom to change into proper clothing. “Read the letter!”

“Yes, yes,” Ohno mumbled as he unfolded the paper and read the few scribbled lines. His brows furrowed, and he felt himself pale the further he got.

Satoshi,
You might choose not to remember me, but I present you with your son.
I have had enough of him, all he does is crying, and I was not meant to be held back by a baby. He was an accident that I realised too late was on his way. I nursed him as is expected of me, but I don’t want to deal with him anymore. I don’t need money, I won’t go to press - as if they would believe me anyway.
Until then,
Sophie

Nino came back to the room, his brows furrowed when he saw Ohno sitting on the sofa, his face pale and his eyes wide. “What is wrong?”

“The letter says it’s mine,” Ohno choked out.

“What but you… It can’t be Oh-chan,” Nino said as he stared at the baby and then back at his lover. “You would’ve had to sleep with a woman for that… Around a year ago.”

“A year and nine months ago…”

Nino stared down at Ohno, who met his eyes just so. Nino’s eyes widened as he saw the guilt in the other’s eyes as he stumbled back. He felt as if all the air was squeezed out of him. Before either of the men could say anything, the sharp ringtone from his cellphone cut the silence and Nino scrambled to the door to put on his shoes and flee from the apartment, ignoring any cries of his name from his lover as he felt his heart break inside his chest.

A/N: I think they are a bit cold to the baby XD but it’s all on automatic mode right now. I hope it’s okay…
