Bodyguard part 56
Ohno sat in the chair that the emperor had vacated. There had been long and tiring meeting with the emperor and the commissioner but finally he was now able to be where he belonged. There was talk that Nino’s father wanted to have words with him as well but so far the man had yet to materialise leaving Ohno with more than a few feelings of resentment to the man that would one day be emperor. Saying that he was busy wouldn't cut it the emperor himself had been to sit with his grandson and Ohno knew that the crown prince would arrive when the press started making a fuss. For now though he was content to sit watching Nino sleeping. The time away from his charge, no matter how small, was the longest that he had been parted from him since he had first been given the assignment and Ohno knew that even that was too much. Fear had prompted him to ask Koike to join him on assignment guarding the prince and she had agreed telling him that she would be honoured.
“Jun…sensei…no!” Nino whimpered thrashing around in his bed and then stopped with a sob when pain came to his broken arm and leg. There was little surprise in Ohno that the prince would be thinking of the teacher from all accounts the man had put up a valiant effort in trying to save him. Thankfully the man was making a recovery. Most of his injuries would heal in time and he was already awake when Satoshi had been able to see him. “Sensei…Samii…Samii…save me…”
“I'm here little…my Ninomii…I'm here…” Ohno breathed gently reaching out and taking Nino's uninjured arm. It was bruised where Gorou had injected him with the drugs but it was okay enough for him to reach out and touch. Nino stiffened at his touch and Ohno’s first instinct was to pull away but he kept his hand there knowing, or rather hoping, that when he was awake Nino wouldn't be afraid of his touch. “It's me, my Ninomii…I’m so sorry that I let him hurt you but I promise…I promise with all my heart that I will never let anyone near you again…”
“…Samii…It hurts…” Nino whispered opening his eyes and looking at him. There were tears in his lashes and Ohno gently wiped them away with his thumb before kissing the hand that he was holding asking softly;
“Where my Ninomii?”
“…Everywhere…” Nino groaned trying to pick himself up in the bed and failing. Satoshi quickly helped him settling him against the pillows before having Nino’s arms wrapping around him tightly, his mouth pressing into his neck. Ohno held him as tightly as he could, not wanting to hurt him anymore than he had already been hurt. He could feel the prince’s hurt racing inside his chest and he could feel the exact moment that Nino started crying from the way that the tears soaked into his shirt. He started shuddering and sobbing for a while and then stopped breathing deeply before saying “I knew you would come for me…I knew I had to be brave…I tried…but I’m not like you…I was so scared…”
“You did perfectly my little…My darling…You were very brave…And I was just as scared…” Ohno admitted reluctantly his fingers moving through the prince’s hair hating to feel the roughness of the bandage that was wrapped around it. “You were so brave...”
“…He…He touched me and I was glad that it wasn’t Masaki he was doing that too…I... He’s gone for good right? He’s never coming back?”
“Never…I made sure of that…I promise…”
