Warnings: Beware of a cute baby Ohno in this story (although Ohno is always cute, baby or not ;)
Notes: Yup. I pretty much update when I update ◟(◔ั₀◔ั )◞ ༘♡ I really don't have a particular schedule for updating- I think if I try to schedule my updates, it just takes me even longer to write anything. Deadlines give me writer's block.
*Some comments were put as 'suspicious' in the last chapter. I don't know why that happened (though I think it's just LJ being an ass again since there's nothing wrong with my settings). But if it happens to you, just PM me and I'll unscreen comment. Sorry for the trouble~
Summary: An accident occurs when one of Aiba's experiments go wrong. And unfortunately, Leader was in the wrong place at the wrong time...

"We're going camping!"
Aiba announced. Sho and Aiba had arrived back and they were all currently eating the hamburgers with mushroom sauce that Nino had told them that he had bought (although the other members already knew that Nino had cooked it himself, but didn't say anything).
"Yeah, okay. Sho, can you pass me the dressing?" Nino asked Sho, taking a bite of the garden salad that Jun had tossed together quickly to add to their meal.
"No, I'm serious! I already have the okay from the agency- they agreed that since we've been working so hard lately, they've given us this whole weekend off work!" Aiba told them. When he had their full attentions, he continued. "We've been given day offs- no filming, no interviews, no photoshoots...for two whole days! We'll be free! So let's go camping!"
Nino made a face at that. "Fine, we're all free this weekend. But why should we waste our day offs on camping, of all things?" Nino was probably the number one homebody in Japan- the thought of being in nature, away from electricity and civilization held no appeal to him whatsoever.
"Because it's fun and it's been years since we've all had a chance to go camping together!" Aiba insisted. As soon as the agency approved their day offs, Aiba immediately started to get hyped up as he started planning their trip.
"But it's winter! It's too cold to go camping!" Nino whined, really not wanting to go camping.
"But it's not too cold in Okinawa." Aiba pointed out, grinning at the way Jun and Sho's eyes started to spark up at that.
"Okinawa, huh?" Jun muttered. Actually, Jun wasn't that keen about camping neither. But he didn't mind going out camping if it was in Okinawa- a tropical place that Jun didn't have the chance to visit that often. He immediately started to get excited about the trip.
"I hear the weather is great in Okinawa. Especially around this time of year- it's not too hot there but it's not freezing like in Tokyo. It's perfect." Sho commented, his mind automatically starting to plan out all the things they could do and see there. He was going to have to do research about campsites and available activities.
"Right?!" Aiba pointed out excitedly, feeling victorious that he had managed to get Sho and Jun on his side. Now he only had to convince Nino...
"Camping?" Ohno asked after swallowing the piece of burger that Jun fed him. "Wat camping?"
Aiba smiled brightly at him as he answered. "Camping is where all five of us will go and stay out with the trees and the grass and the wind-"
"And the cold hard dirt and the bugs and the snakes that are most likely in Okinawa..." Nino cut in.
Aiba scowled at him. "There won't be snakes!" Turning back to Ohno, he said, "It's a lot of fun and I know you'll love it!"
Ohno's eyes sparkled. "Wan to go camping! Wet's go!" He said, excitedly. Aiba cheered as Nino looked even more displeased.
"Yeah! We'll go tomorrow!" Aiba patted Ohno's head. Looking at Nino, Aiba pointed out slyly, "Right, Nino? We wouldn't want to disappoint Satoshi after all."
Nino growled. "That's a cheap shot."
"It'll be good for Satoshi as well- since he's recovering from his sickness, the fresh air will do him good." Aiba grinned in satisfaction.
"Going to Okinawa is just a waste of money." Nino scowled, crossing his arms. "We'll have to worry about transportation, food, the cabin fees-"
"There are no cabin fees." Aiba interrupted. "Besides, on this camping trip Johnny himself said the agency will cover all the expenses."
"Seriously?! That old man?" Nino's jaw dropped, having a hard time believing that their boss would spend money on them without it involving any publicity of any kind.
Aiba nodded. "Yeah, I was surprised too. But I think it's because he likes Satoshi- he even sent a message saying that he also made sure to rent out a boat that he could use."
Sho shook his head, amazed. "A boat for Satoshi? Incredible."
Jun laughed, giving the baby that was sitting on his lap a kiss on the head. "Tell us something we don't know." He proceeded to give a small bite of lettuce to Ohno. The baby accepted the food, humming while he chewed it.
"Ohhh...Satoshi is such a good boy for eating his vegetables!" Aiba cooed, leaning forward a bit to lightly pinch one of Ohno's chubby cheeks.
Ohno giggled, smiling wide so they could see some of the chewed up green inside his mouth. "Mm-hm...." He mumbled happily.
Sho sighed, smiling at him. "You are every parent's dream..." He patted the baby on the head.
Nino sighed before he went back to the topic. "So we don't have to worry about the pay. But I don't see why we have to go camping. Since the boss is paying for it, can't we go somewhere else? Like the arcade?" He begged.
Jun rolled his eyes. "That's where you want to go."
Aiba pouted. "Camping will be fun- I promise! We'll be near the beach and there'll be fish and we can make sandcastles!"
"Then go to the beach here! It's only thirty minutes away." Nino huffed.
"I already took Satoshi to the beach a few days ago and he really enjoyed it." Sho brought up, munching on a carrot.
Aiba threw his hands up in exasperation. "It's not the same! Besides, we can go hiking through the woods, toast marshmallows, sing campfire songs!"
Nino scoffed. "You've been watching too many teenage American shows again."
"We can tell ghost stories around the fire!" Aiba insisted. "Oh, come on. I've been saving up some of my best stories for this. Hear, I'll tell one now. One dark and not very stormy night..."
Nino immediately held his palm up, "Stop right there. I really don't want to listen to any of your stories-"
"-there was a girl, in her twenties, who was sitting at her computer reading FanFiction." Aiba continued.
"I don't think Satoshi should be hearing this." Sho pointed out, looking at the baby in worry.
Jun shook his head. "Nah, I highly doubt any ghost story from Aiba would have much horror in it." He handed the baby to Sho, whose mouth was full with rice, as he got up to warm up Ohno's milk. Nino kept glaring at Aiba.
Not minding the interruptions, Aiba continued with his story. "She wasn't just any regular girl. She was an otaku! And worse yet, a fujioshi! So the FanFiction she was reading was yaoi!"
"Yah, the only thing that's scary here is how you know all those terms." Nino said blunty.
Aiba ignored him. "As she was reading, the electricity suddenly came off. But thankfully, the battery pack was attached to her laptop so she could still keep reading. As she got to a particularly steamy scene, she realized how dry her throat felt. She didn't know if it was from thirst or because of all the squeals she let out during the hot sex-"
"Masaki! PG please?!" Sho yelled, gesturing towards Ohno who was listening intently to the story.
"Ah, sorry. Anyway, whatever the reason she decided to go down to get a drink of water. It was pretty dark without the lights on, but since it was her house she had no problem finding the kitchen. When she got there, she saw a nice, cold glass of Pepsi on the kitchen counter. Thinking her mother had left it there for her, she wasted no time grabbing the glass and taking a long sip out of it.
"She never realized just how thirsty she was so she just kept drinking until there was no Pepsi left. Halfway through, she did feel something thin like a hair go into her mouth, but she just shrugged it off and kept drinking. Putting the glass down, she sighed feeling completely refreshed. Suddenly, the electricity came back on. The girl blinked, her eyes adjusting to the light. As the girl turned to put the glass back in the sink, she froze as she glimpse at something. Her whole body became frigid as her breathing started to become faster, her expression was one of sheer horror.
"In the glass that she had just drunk out of, crushed between the pieces of ice...was a large, black cockroach with one antennae." Aiba finished.
Silence.
"EWWWWWWW!!!" Nino, Sho and Jun screamed in disgust.
"That is just sick!" Nino cried out, shuddering.
"Don't tell stories like that during dinnertime!" Jun scolded, his face twisting as he sat back at the table with Ohno's bottle.
"I'll never drink Pepsi again." Sho gagged, his face having a tinge of green to it.
"Mow stowy! Mow stowy!" Ohno clapped, giggling at his mama's story.
Aiba grinned at him. At least someone appreciated his story. "You liked it? Well, I have another story about meatballs..."
"NO!" Nino and Sho both shouted in sync.
Jun shivered. "I don't know what's more terrifying- Aiba's story or Satoshi's reaction to the story." He took Ohno from Sho so he could feed the baby his milk.
"Wan to heaw mow." Ohno pleaded, looking at them all with puppy dog eyes.
Aiba nodded. "Of course, Satoshi. There once was a lady who owned a noodle shop-hmph!"
"STOP!" Sho screamed, getting up and shoving his hands to cover his boyfriend's mouth.
"No more stories- time for your milk." Jun told him, cradling Ohno in his arms as he popped the nipple into the baby pouting mouth.
"Okay, fine! I'll go camping if you promise to never tell any more of your 'scary' stories ever again!" Nino surrendered, waving his napkin in the air.
Aiba grinned in triumph.
…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…~…
"Your hamburgers were really great Nino." Aiba complimented as he washed one of the plates.
"I don't know why you guys insist that I cooked them- for the last time I bought it at the convenience store." Nino shot back, taking the wet dish from Aiba and drying it. After a game of janken, Jun and Sho took Ohno upstairs for his bath while he and Aiba were in charge of cleanup.
"Whatever you say, Nino~" Aiba sang out, handing a clean cup to his younger group member. "So are you really okay with camping?" He asked, unsurely. He really hoped that Nino was really okay with their trip and not just forcing himself. He wanted everyone to have a fun time.
Nino gave Aiba a small smile. "Yeah, don't worry. Just promise that I don't have to lift any heavy epuipment and I'll be fine."
Aiba nodded. "You can be in charge of holding Satoshi then."
They both continued washing and drying the dishes for another minute before Nino spoke up. "J and I talked earlier."
Aiba hummed. "I'm guessing that whatever you guys were talking about is the reason why you look more refreshed and happy now."
Nino looked at Aiba. "Was I that obvious?"
Aiba smiled. "To us, at least. We just know you too well."
Nino sighed. "Well, I finally feel like a bit of weight on my chest has lifted."
"Good. And Nino...I'm really, very sorry. For everything." Aiba apologized, a very serious expression on his face.
Nino smirked, shoving his shoulder lightly to Aiba's. "Yeah, I know." The two men grinned at each other before Nino recalled something. "Hey, Aiba-shi. I heard that you've been making a drink at night. Something blueish?"
"Ah!" Aiba looked at him with bright eyes. "Wait here." Drying his hands, Aiba went to the fridge and reached deep into the back to pull out a green plastic bottle. Opening the cap and showing it to Nino, Nino saw that the bottle was filled with a cobalt blue liquid inside. He could also see the fizzy bubbles that made it look like some sort of carbonated, toxic drink.
Holding up the drink proudly, Aiba explained, "Okay, so I was gonna let Satoshi try this when I was taking care of him, but when he got sick I decided to wait until he was back to his healthy self again."
Nino frowned as he observed the drink. "What is this?" Taking a whiff, it smelled like one of those veggie drinks- maybe carrot juice?
"It's an antidote that I made that's supposed to reverse the effects of, 'Arashi's Beauty Elxir'." Aiba answered.
Nino gave him an incredulous look. "Arashi's beauty elixir? That's....interesting."
Aiba laughed. "I think Oh-chan said the same thing when I told him!"
Nino smiled slightly at that. "I can imagine." Looking back to the bottle in his hand, he asked. "What's in this?"
"Well, there are foreign ingredients that I ordered with names that I can't really pronounce well." Aiba shrugged.
Nino furrowed his eyebrows at that. "Where the hell do you get these 'foreign ingredients' from?" He muttered to himself. In a louder voice, he asked hesitantly, "Are you sure this will work?"
Aiba nodded enthusiastically. "Of course! The recipe I got it from assured that it will turn Satoshi back to his normal adult self." Aiba paused for a short moment before adding, "Well, that's what I think it meant."
Nino blinked. "What?"
Aiba titled his head, looking thoughtful. "Well, the recipe was in English and I had to use an online translator to understand it. So this drink could either age Satoshi back to his normal self or..." He trailed off.
Nino narrowed his eyes at his longest friend. "Or it could do what?"
Aiba looked back at Nino. "Or it could...well, turnhimintoahermaphrodite." Aiba said the last part quickly.
Nino was glaring at him now. "I couldn't understand a word of what you just said- repeat it."
Aiba sighed. "Well...this could also be a drink where it could turn Satoshi into a hermaphrodite- meaning, it could give him the necessary girl parts making it possible for him to have and carry a baby. " he explained, not looking Nino in the eye.
Nino took a deep breath. "So basically this blue drink that you created could either age my boyfriend to an age that could go as high as a grandfather or basically make him able to be pregnant?" He could feel a headache coming on.
Aiba put up his palms in defense. "Well, yeah- but I'm sure that it won't do that! I'm sure I read the recipe correct and this will turn leader back to his normal self- I'm not that bad at english!"
Nino snorted. "Says the guy who uses the terms, 'safety driving' and 'cuticle'." He shook his head. "No freaking way am I letting that drink go anywhere near Satoshi. Throw it away!"
Aiba gasped, holding the bottle closer to him. "No! I worked hard on this! And the ingredients were expensive you know? Besides, it might not even do anything- it could just be a regular drink." Hie eyes widened. "Maybe we could end up selling this for our concert!"
Nino sent him a death glare. "Yeah, tell that to the other regular drink you created before- the one you fed to my boyfriend before he turned into a baby!"
"That was only a one-time thing!" Aiba pleaded.
Nino pointed his finger to the sink. "Dump it there."
"But-" Aiba was interrupted when Jun's head appeared at the doorway.
"Can you guys stop fighting for one second to tell me where Satoshi's diapers are? I can't find them." Jun asked them, looking impatient.
"Yeah, I put them in my room earlier when I was looking for his other baby supplies. Wait, I'll come with you to get them." Nino told him. Walking out of the kitchen, Nino spun around and shot Aiba a threatening look. "I mean it, Aiba- throw that poisonous stuff away or else I'll dump it down your own throat."
Aiba stuck his tongue out at him. "Fine."
When Nino left, Aiba quickly placed the drink back into the fridge. "AIBA!" Aiba jumped at the shout and looked to see Nino glaring at him, crossing his arms. With the fridge open, Aiba immediately took another similar bottle- but this one was filled with water- and brought it to the sink, dumping out the contents.
Nino stood there with an intimidating stance the entire time. Aiba merely smiled at him, gesturing towards the bottle he was dumping. He held the bottle low enough that Nino couldn't see the contents of it but could hear that the liquid was indeed being poured into the sink. Nodding his head, Nino left to help Jun with the diapers.
Aiba sighed as he emptied the rest of the water into the sink, rinsing out the bottle. Going back to the fridge, he checked his blue creation.
This time, he made sure to place his special blue drink at the very back, hiding it behind a jar of kimchi.

Aiba announced. Sho and Aiba had arrived back and they were all currently eating the hamburgers with mushroom sauce that Nino had told them that he had bought (although the other members already knew that Nino had cooked it himself, but didn't say anything).
"Yeah, okay. Sho, can you pass me the dressing?" Nino asked Sho, taking a bite of the garden salad that Jun had tossed together quickly to add to their meal.
"No, I'm serious! I already have the okay from the agency- they agreed that since we've been working so hard lately, they've given us this whole weekend off work!" Aiba told them. When he had their full attentions, he continued. "We've been given day offs- no filming, no interviews, no photoshoots...for two whole days! We'll be free! So let's go camping!"
Nino made a face at that. "Fine, we're all free this weekend. But why should we waste our day offs on camping, of all things?" Nino was probably the number one homebody in Japan- the thought of being in nature, away from electricity and civilization held no appeal to him whatsoever.
"Because it's fun and it's been years since we've all had a chance to go camping together!" Aiba insisted. As soon as the agency approved their day offs, Aiba immediately started to get hyped up as he started planning their trip.
"But it's winter! It's too cold to go camping!" Nino whined, really not wanting to go camping.
"But it's not too cold in Okinawa." Aiba pointed out, grinning at the way Jun and Sho's eyes started to spark up at that.
"Okinawa, huh?" Jun muttered. Actually, Jun wasn't that keen about camping neither. But he didn't mind going out camping if it was in Okinawa- a tropical place that Jun didn't have the chance to visit that often. He immediately started to get excited about the trip.
"I hear the weather is great in Okinawa. Especially around this time of year- it's not too hot there but it's not freezing like in Tokyo. It's perfect." Sho commented, his mind automatically starting to plan out all the things they could do and see there. He was going to have to do research about campsites and available activities.

Aiba pouted. "Camping will be fun- I promise! We'll be near the beach and there'll be fish and we can make sandcastles!"
"Then go to the beach here! It's only thirty minutes away." Nino huffed.
"I already took Satoshi to the beach a few days ago and he really enjoyed it." Sho brought up, munching on a carrot.
Aiba threw his hands up in exasperation. "It's not the same! Besides, we can go hiking through the woods, toast marshmallows, sing campfire songs!"

Opening the cap and showing it to Nino, Nino saw that the bottle was filled with a cobalt blue liquid inside. He could also see the fizzy bubbles that made it look like some sort of carbonated, toxic drink.
Holding up the drink proudly, Aiba explained, "Okay, so I was gonna let Satoshi try this when I was taking care of him, but when he got sick I decided to wait until he was back to his healthy self again."
Nino frowned as he observed the drink. "What is this?" Taking a whiff, it smelled like one of those veggie drinks- maybe carrot juice?
"It's an antidote that I made that's supposed to reverse the effects of, 'Arashi's Beauty Elxir'." Aiba answered.
Nino gave him an incredulous look. "Arashi's beauty elixir? That's....interesting."
Aiba laughed. "I think Oh-chan said the same thing when I told him!"
Nino smiled slightly at that. "I can imagine." Looking back to the bottle in his hand, he asked. "What's in this?"
"Well, there are foreign ingredients that I ordered with names that I can't really pronounce well." Aiba shrugged.
Nino furrowed his eyebrows at that. "Where the hell do you get these 'foreign ingredients' from?" He muttered to himself. In a louder voice, he asked hesitantly, "Are you sure this will work?"
Aiba nodded enthusiastically. "Of course! The recipe I got it from assured that it will turn Satoshi back to his normal adult self." Aiba paused for a short moment before adding, "Well, that's what I think it meant."
Nino blinked. "What?"
Aiba titled his head, looking thoughtful. "Well, the recipe was in English and I had to use an online translator to understand it. So this drink could either age Satoshi back to his normal self or..." He trailed off.
Nino narrowed his eyes at his longest friend. "Or it could do what?"
Aiba looked back at Nino. "Or it could...well, turnhimintoahermaphrodite." Aiba said the last part quickly.
Nino was glaring at him now. "I couldn't understand a word of what you just said- repeat it."
Aiba sighed. "Well...this could also be a drink where it could turn Satoshi into a hermaphrodite- meaning, it could give him the necessary girl parts making it possible for him to have and carry a baby. " he explained, not looking Nino in the eye.
Nino took a deep breath. "So basically this blue drink that you created could either age my boyfriend to an age that could go as high as a grandfather or basically make him able to be pregnant?" He could feel a headache coming on.
Aiba put up his palms in defense. "Well, yeah- but I'm sure that it won't do that! I'm sure I read the recipe correct and this will turn leader back to his normal self- I'm not that bad at english!"
Nino snorted. "Says the guy who uses the terms, 'safety driving' and 'cuticle'." He shook his head. "No freaking way am I letting that drink go anywhere near Satoshi. Throw it away!"
Aiba gasped, holding the bottle closer to him. "No! I worked hard on this! And the ingredients were expensive you know? Besides, it might not even do anything- it could just be a regular drink." Hie eyes widened. "Maybe we could end up selling this for our concert!"
Nino sent him a death glare. "Yeah, tell that to the other regular drink you created before- the one you fed to my boyfriend before he turned into a baby!"
"That was only a one-time thing!" Aiba pleaded.
Nino pointed his finger to the sink. "Dump it there."
"But-" Aiba was interrupted when Jun's head appeared at the doorway.
"Can you guys stop fighting for one second to tell me where Satoshi's diapers are? I can't find them." Jun asked them, looking impatient.
"Yeah, I put them in my room earlier when I was looking for his other baby supplies. Wait, I'll come with you to get them." Nino told him. Walking out of the kitchen, Nino spun around and shot Aiba a threatening look. "I mean it, Aiba- throw that poisonous stuff away or else I'll dump it down your own throat."
Aiba stuck his tongue out at him. "Fine."
When Nino left, Aiba quickly placed the drink back into the fridge. "AIBA!" Aiba jumped at the shout and looked to see Nino glaring at him, crossing his arms. With the fridge open, Aiba immediately took another similar bottle- but this one was filled with water- and brought it to the sink, dumping out the contents.
Nino stood there with an intimidating stance the entire time. Aiba merely smiled at him, gesturing towards the bottle he was dumping. He held the bottle low enough that Nino couldn't see the contents of it but could hear that the liquid was indeed being poured into the sink. Nodding his head, Nino left to help Jun with the diapers.
Aiba sighed as he emptied the rest of the water into the sink, rinsing out the bottle. Going back to the fridge, he checked his blue creation.
This time, he made sure to place his special blue drink at the very back, hiding it behind a jar of kimchi.
