Post-Christmas Fluff Attack! (Part 2)
Author note: Okay, this is long overdue, I know, since it's the New Year already. But well, what a way to begin the New Year of 2014.
*\(^O^)/*Happy New Year! *\(^O^)/*
It's been like.. two months since i've started writing fanfiction. Thanks so much for the various comments- many were very encouraging and helpful and I have grown as a writer in many ways.
I do hope that this year will be a pleasant one for all of you. So for this year as well, yoroshiku onegaishimasu! *bows*
With this, here's the Sakuraiba and Ohmiya fluff that I've promised.
Sakuraiba: Cold and Warmth
Sho stepped out of the car and looked around the snowy forest that he and his boyfriend, Aiba Masaki would be camping in for the night. The cold air hung around them as they stepped out for a look around. An occasional, chilling breeze blew gently in their faces, and Sho shivered slightly at the cold.
"Ne, Masaki, shouldn't we be heading in as soon as we can? I'm not about to freeze outside," Sho said.
"Ah right! We should be heading in, ne?" Aiba replied as he stepped quickly ahead of Sho into the wooden cabin near them.
The wooden cabin was not exactly huge, but it seemed just nice and cosy for the two of them to spend the rest of the Christmas season together in. They laid down their things by the door and switched on the lights, giving the place a brief look.
"Ah! There's a radiator here!" Aiba said as he bent down to finger an old radiator. Sho frowned at it.
"It looks really old. I'm guessing that it is spoilt," Sho said as he bent down with Aiba to inspect the heater. Sho checked the power source and flicked the switch and to their dismay, the heater was indeed broken.
"... We're prolly going to shiver in the cold tonight," Sho muttered, his shoulders shivering slightly from the chill outside.
"It's okay!" Aiba chirped cheerily while reaching into his bag to take out two candle lanterns, "our candle lamps should be able to keep us warm enough."
Sho raised an amused eyebrow at Aiba who was already busying himself with the lanterns. He took one anyway and walked around the rest of the cabin. The wooden cabin, being somewhat old, had a few cobwebs in some places and the birch floorboards creaked with every step. Sho could not help but feel his goosebumps rise along his arms.
"Masaki, this feels like some horror movie set," Sho blurted out nervously as he made his way up the dark stairs.
"Don't say stuff like that when it's Christmas!" Aiba yelled from below him.
Sho stepped on the second floor uncertainly and switched on the lights. His eyes widened in awe and surprise when they found that the room on the second floor had a huge bed and a huge takeaway container that contained some food.
"Hey! Masaki! Come up here!" Sho called. Aiba brought along the two lanterns and marvelled at the room in excitement as well.
"Wow! Eh? But we didn't really ask for much in this cabin! Why would there be food?" Aiba asked. Sho shrugged as he looked over at the takeaway container and found a note beside it.
"To Sakurai Sho & Aiba Masaki:
You two are total idiots for leaving for a trip and not letting us come along. But we understand that it's because you guys want some 'alone time'. So, enjoy the food- Aiba-chan it's your favourite steak. Feel free to borrow Jun's cookware at the kitchen. You two owe us big time.
-Ohno Satoshi
-Ninomiya Kazunari
-Matsumoto Jun
P.S. Merry Christmas and have a happy new year. "
"Awww, they can be so thoughtful," Aiba chuckled as he looked at the food and drinks excitedly.
"Hmph," Sho mock-huffed, "I'm sure we did them a favour anyway- the OhmiyaSK pair can spend their time together and Jun can find Mao-chan, ne?"
Aiba laughed and carried the steaks and drinks downstairs. "Le-I'm cooking~" he announced as he proceeded down the stairs.
"Hey! What about me!" Sho asked as he dashed out after Aiba.
"No, Sho-chan. I'm not about to have you burn down the cabin," Aiba said as he prepared the stove and the frying pan for cooking.
Sho stood behind him pouting cutely at being left out. Aiba sighed resignedly.
"Well, help me with the vegetables. Be careful with the knife, ne?" Aiba said.
"Ha~i" Sho sing-songed as he helped his boyfriend with the food.
"This candle-light dinner is great! Although it's a little chilly," Sho remarked as they dug in on the steak on their plates.
"What? I think it's romantic! Well, it would have been better if there were music right now," Aiba replied.
"What song would you play then? Pick an Arashi song." Sho said.
"Ehh?! Pick an Arashi song NOW?" Aiba asked in complete disbelief.
"Well, we're part of Arashi, ne? It'd only make sense," Sho said, smiling as he watched Aiba's face scrunch up in thought amidst the glow of the candle flames. It was definitely the cutest side of Aiba he had ever seen.
"Hmm... Your 'Sugar and Salt' would be nice, ne? It sounds very relaxing and can be played in a cafe..." Aiba muttered. Sho chuckled.
"But that's my solo. What about one sung by all of us?" Sho asked.
Aiba sighed and went into thought again.
"Sketch?" he suggested.
"Nope. I think that one would be for an Arashi anniversary," Sho said.
"Ashita no-" Aiba paused, shaking his head while laughing.
"It's a dinner, not an emotional VTR," Sho said, now holding his sides while laughing.
"Ahhhh It's difficult," Aiba muttered as he laid back on his chair, and Sho left Aiba to ponder over what other songs could fit the occasion while eating his steak and enjoying the view of his lover's face lit up by the dancing candle lights. Suddenly, Aiba's eyes lit up.
"My Girl!" he suggested triumphantly.
Sho gave a small smile as he stretched out his legs, brushing them gently against Aiba's.
"Sounds perfect," he replied.
"Oyasumi~" they both said as they snuggled on the bed beside each other.
Sho has tried his best to sleep, but the freezing cold around them just would not do. Even the lanterns that they had brought were not exactly sufficient in warming them up.
"Ne, Masaki, don't you feel cold?" Sho asked, his voice quivering a little.
"Mmm, yeah, a little. I have an idea," Aiba said.
Sho felt himself being tugged by his arm into a tight embrace with Aiba.
"There we go, Sho-chan. Aren't you warm already?" Aiba asked. Sho could not help but flush into a deep shade of red in the dark. He nodded slowly against Aiba's chest. Aiba giggled and adjusted his arms to rest more comfortably around Sho.
"Ah, there's something missing," Aiba said, untangling himself and shuffling quickly to his bag.
"Oi, hurry!" Sho urged on, "I'm freezing to death!"
Aiba gave a laugh as he hurried back on the bed.
"Sho-chan! Here!" Aiba said excitedly, handing him one of his earphones.
Sho's eyes widened in realisation that Aiba had brought along the mixtape that he had made for him for his birthday.
"Masaki..." Sho whispered, as Aiba pressed the play button.
"I know that it's my birthday present, but listening to it without you around just isn't the same," Aiba replied, grinning up at Sho before leaning over to kiss him softly on the lips. Sho smiled into the kiss and responded by brushing his lips tenderly over Aiba's.
"Mou, Sho-chan, if we continue, we might not be able to listen to your tape anymore," Aiba gasped between kisses.
"Shall we forget the music and just continue then?" Sho grinned and whispered in a low, husky voice while his hand slipped behind Aiba to caress his back slowly but seductively.
"No, I really want to listen to what you've added inside," Aiba said, giving him his puppy-dog look while holding up his cassette walkman. Sho chuckled resignedly.
"Alright, alright. Let's listen to it together. Your ass is mine later though," Sho replied, smirking while smacking Aiba's bottom once.
"You really know how to ruin a perfectly sweet mood, Sho-chan," Aiba mock-pouted as he handed Sho his earphones.
"Yeah, but believe me, you'll love it when I do that later," Sho promised while putting on his earphone snugly on his ear and cuddling close to his lover, breathing in his scent. Soon, the cassette player whirred to life in their hands.
"Ah! This one!" Aiba spoke, his voice full of awe that Sho had included one of his favourite songs- "Season".
"Enjoy, Masaki," Sho said, draping his arm over his lover's waist as they cuddled.
Maybe just for that night, Sho thought, he could let him off so they could enjoy that sweet moment together.
Ohmiya: Hand
Ohno Satoshi strode tiredly back into his shared apartment. He trudged into the bedroom, completely tired from work. He reached the empty bed and crept under the sheets, almost ready to fall asleep before his lover, Nino did. And so he stared up blankly at the ceiling, relaxing his tired body on the soft bed as he let his eyelids close slowly.
He felt something touch his cheek with a slow, teasing caress. Soft, distinct fingers stroked their way around Ohno's cheeks, ghosting softly over the tip and bridge of his nose. Ohno stirred slowly in his sleep, turning his body away. A soft chuckle was heard as the man he loved proceeded to snuggle up against him, briefly rubbing their noses together.
Ohno finally awoke from the tingling sensation on his nose. His eyes opened slowly as he took in the man lying beside him, his pale smooth body outlined by the soft moonlight streaming in from the window .
"Oh-chan," the gentle, familiar voice called.
"Nino...."he mumbled softly as he let his lover plant small kisses over his face.
"Are you that tired, Oh-chan?" Nino asked as he lay beside Ohno, his knuckles slowly caressing the side of his lover's face.
"Mmmm..." Ohno nodded in his pillow, turning over to face Nino and stare at him sleepily.
"Let me help you, ne?" Nino said as he flipped Ohno's body to face down on the bed, his head now buried in the pillow.
Ohno closed his eyes, almost about to drift to sleep when he felt a playful slap on his shoulder.
"Don't sleep yet," Nino chided as he returned and started tugging at Ohno's shirt.
"Take it off," Nino said playfully.
"Nino, I have no energy for-" Ohno was about to protest when he felt Nino rolling up his shirt to extract it off his head.
"I know. I'm just making you comfortable," Nino whispered as he set his lover's body flat on the bed. He then took the bottle beside him and poured some of its contents inside his palm. Rubbing it between his hands, he smoothed it gently on Ohno's bare back, enjoying the sweet smell of lavender that started to waft through the air.
"Mmm.. Lavender?" Ohno muttered.
"Yep. It's known to relieve stress," Nino said, his hands kneading and sliding expertly around the contours of Ohno's back. From time to time his fingers traced soft, purposeful circles around the shoulder blades. Whiffs of lavender rolled off Ohno's back, relaxing his muscles as Nino's deft fingers traced patterns all over him. He felt relaxed. Rejuvenated. Refreshed.
"Thanks, Nino," Ohno spoke, smiling into the pillow.
"Anytime, Oh-chan~" Nino sing-songed as he proceeded to pull Ohno up. Ohno whined from the lack of contact with the pillow, staying silent as he sat up with his back facing Nino.
"What, I'm not done yet, you know," Nino prattled as he slipped his fingers to press gently on the sides of Ohno's temple. Applying a light pressure on his head, Nino traced his fingers in small circles, allowing the scent of lavender to spread slowly across Ohno's head, relaxing his senses even further. Ohno grinned appreciatively as he felt the nerves in his head start to unwind little by little. He leaned slowly into Nino's touch, letting his head fall back to rest gently against Nino's chin, his tossed, unruly hair tickling Nino lightly on his nose. Nino scrunched up his nose and pushed Ohno to sit up straight.
"If I sneeze into your hair, do not blame me," Nino said as he proceeded to massage Ohno's neck. When he was finally done, he allowed Ohno to lean his head back on his shoulder while wrapping his arms around him.
"Mmm, you smell good," Nino teased as he nuzzled his nose into Ohno's nape.
"Thanks to you," came the low reply. Nino chuckled and pulled the older man closer to him.
"What with the sudden gesture, though? And why so late too..." Ohno murmured.
Nino grinned and looked over at his mobile phone and grinned widely. He handed the phone to Ohno, who looked at it sleepily.
It was 12 midnight. It was the beginning of a new year. For their three other friends and bandmates. For the two of them. For themselves.
"Take it as a New Year's present for you," Nino whispered before planting a soft kiss on Ohno's neck, "Happy New Year," he said.
Ohno turned around to kiss his lover fully on the lips, slowly pushing him back down on the bed as his tongue caressed Nino's lower lip.
"Happy New Year," Ohno spoke, cuddling close to Nino as he closed his eyes. Nino was about to fall asleep as well when he realised that Ohno had forgotten to wear his shirt. He pulled the blankets closer over both of them and hugged him closer. He then drifted off into a deep sleep on Ohno's warm, bare shoulder and allowed their dreams to take them through the new year.
