The Wizardly Ways of Ninomiya Kazunari (Chapter 19)
Nino woke up early in the morning, feeling disoriented for a second. This was not his bed, the person beside him was also not Satoshi. For a second panic settled in his heart, confused as to where he was and what happened. Then though the body beside him moved and a muffled grumble tore itself from the other man’s throat.
Nino breathed out as he relaxed, realising that it was Jun. He was still tired, his limbs feeling heavy from the overuse of the magic the evening before. He wrinkled his nose in distaste as he tried to move and almost cried out in pain. So much for trying to stay silent, he thought as the body beside him moved, the breath of Jun stopping for a second before Jun opened his eyes sleepily.
Nino bit his lower lip to not smile softly as he saw the red-rimmed, puffy eyes from Jun peering up at him, clearly still half-asleep.
“Nino?” Jun asked hoarsely and Nino hummed in answer. Nino shifted slightly, groaning when his muscles protested. He sighed when he settled back against the cushions under Jun’s gaze.
Nino opened his arms invitingly without saying anything. There really was no need. It was so clear that Jun was so hurt that it came off in waves from the other. It hurt Nino to know that his best friend felt that way but there was nothing else he could do but offer comfort.
Jun hesitated just a second longer before he moved silently and sank into the embrace of the other. “We broke up… He cheated and…” His voice broke and Nino cradled the other in his arms, his fingers finding their way into Jun’s unruly locks.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered before humming a tone under his breath. “I promise, it’ll be okay again.”
Jun’s answering chuckle was wet against Nino’s shoulder as he didn’t answer anymore but just cling to the older man.
Nino leant back with a sigh as he closed his eyes, telling Jun silently to go back to sleep it was too early, he could tell, mostly because their apartment was too silent. Ohno was still asleep, and even if Nino missed the warm arms of his lover around him, he was thankful that Ohno had allowed him to stay here last night. His lover was the best he could ask for, he thought to himself, his feelings and emotions calling out to Ohno before he moved with a now very heavy Jun in his arms to go back to sleep once again.

The next time Nino woke up, Nino found himself in Ohno’s arms. He rubbed his eyes with a small grimace, his muscles still hurting slightly. Jun was gone, but when Nino was very still and listened he could hear sounds coming from another part of their home.
“Jun is making lunch. He made dinner for us yesterday but you came home so late… He said he wants to cook something fresh,” Ohno explained.
Nino nodded mutely, burying his face against Ohno’s chest, his nose rubbing the soft shirt Ohno wore. It smelled like his favourite scent, a mix of their laundry detergent, home and like Ohno.
“How are you feeling?”
“Sore,” Nino whined and smiled when Ohno cooed and rubbed the small of his back.
“Poor baby. Are you hurt anywhere? I couldn’t really check you tonight.”
Nino stayed silent for a bit, thinking the question over and Ohno kept his arms securely around him, waiting patiently for an answer.
“I’m fine, I was a bit stupid and stumbled over a stone when I dodged an attack and twisted my ankle, but the medic got to me before I came home.”
Ohno hummed in understanding and cradled him a bit differently to sway them from side to side. It was seldom that Nino was clumsy enough to get hurt but he knew better than to comment on that. Nino had been out of it since his argument with Jun and he hoped that was over for now, and won’t ever happen again.
“I can massage you later.”
“I would like that.”
“I might also chain you to the bed for the rest of the week.”
Nino grimaced, but his eyes were sparkling in amusement. “Maybe not for all week, and I might actually be up for it.”
“Brat,” Ohno chuckled, smiling when NIno giggled against him.
A few minutes until Nino had calmed down again and moved with Ohno’s help so that he was face to face with Ohno. He looked into his eyes for a while, before his arms circled Ohno’s neck, his legs finding their place on either side of Ohno’s waist, as his fingers caressed the nape of his neck slightly. He was so so lucky, he thought when Ohno just looked back, a warm look on his face and Nino soaked in the love coming from Ohno.
“I love you, you know? I really do.”
Ohno chuckled and cupped his cheek with one of his hands, his thumb tracing the thin lips. “I should hope so, my beloved wizard.”
Nino blushed slightly. He couldn’t believe how lucky he was with his Ohno. He would have never thought he would end up like that, and at times like these when he witnessed how not everybody was as lucky as he was, he couldn’t help being thankful.
“Silly,” Ohno decided after another moment of silence between them. Nino pouted slightly, as Ohno chuckled and moved their faces closer together to press his lips against Nino’s in a loving kiss, pouring everything in it, just because he loved seeing Nino breathless and blushing like that.
