Comfortember Prompt 5: Game Night
“I’m tired,” Nino mumbled and Haru hummed from where he was rolled up around his shoulders. Nino sighed and buried his face in the fur of his daemon. It tickled a little bit but it was nice to breathe in the comfort that his daemon always was for him. He was tired, but he couldn’t sleep.
Nino looked at the small alarm clock beside his bed and the red lights told him it was time to sleep. Just sleeping for a whole week would be nice, he thought. Haru moved and Nino groaned when that made everything feel wrong. He rubbed his eyes and sat up, pulling Haru to himself to hug the daemon. He stared out of the window and observed the starry sky.
He should sleep. His alarm would ring in just a few hours to bring him to another workplace. Nino was not even sure where he had to go. He just stepped into his manager's car and did whatever the woman told him. He liked and hated busy weeks. He liked that he learnt so much, that he had work to do and that he was not useless, but he hated it when it got too much when he was on the move every day with little to no time to sleep in between and he hated so much to go days without seeing the rest of Arashi.
Sometimes he exchanged messages with Ohno but as the days went on it made everything just lonelier so he stopped. He knew it was strange but it was better for him to stop messaging for a while until he would be able to meet up with the others. Just two more days, he thought, then they would record a show together and he could load his batteries again.
A small smile appeared on his face at the thought of meeting up with his friends so soon. The days he worked as Arashi were always clear in his mind. They also had talked about crashing at Nino’s place after, and even if Nino was a bit embarrassed about how bad his flat looked right now, there was no denying that he looked also forward to it. Meeting with them, talking, playing and then having a sleepover was nice.
“I miss them,” Haru mumbled and Nino silently agreed. But very very soon, he thought as he played with the soft fur and breathed in slowly.
“I want to kiss Oh-chan,” Nino mumbled, his cheeks red when Haru agreed with a husky laugh. Cuddling with Ohno would be the best, he thought happily.
-.-
“Sleepy?” Ohno asked as he sat down beside Nino in the car. Mimi was on his lap while Nino was playing with Haru’s ears. They all were piling up in a company's car and Nino had been the first to climb on, leaving it to the rest to fight where to sit. He didn’t care as long as he was close to one of the windows.
Nino nodded and shook his head at the same time at the question and glanced at Ohno. “A bit,” he said after a moment. “But I am looking forward to tonight. Gaming night right?”
“Mhm…” Ohno hummed in agreement and chuckled when he saw the glee in Nino’s eyes at that. “But first food.”
“Mh… We can get takeout or something like that.”
“We can cook,” Jun said and Nino blinked in surprise at the voice of Jun. For a second he had forgotten about the other three.
“I don’t want to do anything.”
“Then don’t,” Jun answered. “Aiba said he wanted to make his father's special Gyoza with me.”
Nino frowned but then nodded in agreement. He liked Gyoza and if he didn’t need to do anything it was okay, he guessed. “Then I can start making avatars for us for gaming later.”
“Sounds good,” Aiba agreed and finally everybody was sitting and they could go home. Nino was so looking forward to it! There was no way he would go to sleep early!
Ohno chuckled as he shook Nino awake and the younger man woke up with a small snort. “Huh?” he murmured and tightened his arms around Haru for a second.
“We arrived. You fell asleep shortly after the car moved. Had a nice nap?”
“I’m not tired,” Nino mumbled with a pout and Ohno smiled.
“Well you had a nap so I wouldn’t be too surprised,” he said and poked his cheek. “Let’s leave the car?”
Nino blushed but then nodded as he climbed out of the car. It was not bad that he fell asleep on the car ride he supposed. He still felt a bit disoriented but Ohno’s hand was warm on the small of his back as he led him to the apartment that Aiba had already opened for them all. Aiba had been gone for the last few days while Nino was busy but had already taken all blame for their messy home because of that.
Nino settled down on the sofa after they had entered, allowing Haru to go wherever he wanted and smiled when Mimi joined his daemon soon after on the windowsill. Their heater was on and Nino knew it was a very warm spot right now.
Sho, Jun and Aiba were in the kitchen and Nino could hear them rummaging around there, cleaning the kitchen and making a mess, Nino supposed but he didn’t mind. It was nice to listen to the sounds coming from there, the low murmur of voices and laughter now and then.
“I’ll get some drinks any preferences?”
“No alcohol,” Nino mumbled and grimaced when Ohno looked at him curiously but then accepted his words without further comments. Nino was left alone to start his console and look for the kind of game they could play tonight. He was lost in what he was doing so he nearly didn’t realise when Ohno came back from the kitchen, explaining that there was no space for him to help out anymore.
Nino shrugged and took the glass of soda, still concentrating on the game he was playing right now. He had just wanted to do a small test run before the others were ready. Making Gyoza took time after all and he had missed gaming the last few days. It was nice to get lost in the fantasy world again.
Still, he could feel Ohno’s eyes on him and wriggled around a bit, until he managed to manoeuvre himself so that he could sit on Ohno’s lap.
“Shut up.”
“I’m not saying anything.”
“Mimi is giggling.”
“You’re cute.”
“Am not.”
“You are,” Ohno said and hugged him around the waist. “This okay?”
“Mhm…” Nino said, his ears slightly red as he tried to hide how okay this was. Now only one thing was missing, he thought a bit embarrassed, happy that Ohno could not read his mind.
“He wants a kiss,” Haru suddenly said and Nino blushed even more while his fox cackled. He had the most awful daemon sometimes, he thought, when he could feel Ohno shake in silent amusement against him.
Nino had the mind to pause his game when Ohno moved him and closed his lips over Nino’s after a second. “Then I shall give it to you.”
